As Qiao Wen expected, Guan Zhenbao's interview was published just a day ago, Liu boss carried a bag of money to the door, wanting to buy the serialization and copyright of the second part of the "Brave World".
In order to show his sincerity, this time the bidding was 200,000 dollars. He originally thought that Guan Zhenbao would be as grateful to him as he was last time, but this time Guan Zhenbao surprised him.
The other party said that the rights to carry and publish could be given to him, and that it would be fine at the normal manuscript fee, but on the condition that he would redeem the buyout rights of the first - part.
These were the words of Jovan's instructions, and he conveyed them - word for word - in full.
Liu boss - listen to this young master is who was on the eye of the drug, immediately piled up - face amiable smile, mouth like a river, the tongue is a lotus flower, to understand the feelings of the reasoning, want to let Guan Zhenbao this two lack of master to hasten to put off this horrible idea.
However, Guan Zhenbao was -changing the norm- very determined, and in the end, fearing that he might be swayed, he even covered his ears and stopped listening.
Boss Liu, after all, is in the newspaper and publishing business, and the IP fever of this era has not yet risen, he did not want to lose the money tree of Guan Zhenbao, after weighing the situation, he finally conceded defeat, and gritted his teeth and agreed to his conditions.
Guan Zhenbao certainly did not let him suffer, 100,000 sold, 300,000 bought back, just half a year, he wrote something to make himself lose 200,000, although ridiculous, but as Qiao Wen said, spend money to buy a lesson, is not a loss - as for whether you can buy a lesson side is an afterthought.
Qiao Wen received a call from Guan Zhenbao to report the good news, originally quite happy, but after saying two sentences, the other side of the phone stammered, "Ah Wen, that ...... money I gave to Boss Liu is still short of one hundred thousand dollars, can you advance me one hundred thousand dollars of the movie adaptation fee and screenwriter's remuneration? "
Qiao Wen almost blacked out when he heard this, and hurriedly asked, "Where's your money? When you sued Butler Wang, didn't they compensate you for two apartments?"
Guan Zhenbao said, "Well, the apartment is still in hand, only rented and not sold."
Qiao Wen said, "But when we first bought the land from you, we paid you-more than a million dollars, and we also mortgaged you twenty thousand dollars every month. It's only been - years, how come you can't get three hundred thousand dollars?"
Guan Zhenbao stammered, "That ...... I was also ready to pay when I realized that I only had more than two hundred thousand left at home."
Qiaowen was silent for a moment, "Zhenbao, you're not being tricked again, are you?"
"No, no." Guan Zhenbao busy shaking his head, "I've been living in deep simplicity this year, writing at home, in addition to going to the Rose Palace to charter White Fangfang. By the way, also funded her out - a new record, especially good, back to me to send you two."
Jovan: "......"
Stargazing is harmful!
Guan Zhenbao added, "By the way, for our movie, can we invite Bai Fangfang to sing the theme song?"
Qiao Wen: "Of course there's no problem." He sighed helplessly, "Alright, I'll have someone send you the check later, and have someone look over the contract for you on the way."
The person he sent was Tang Xingwei, the other party came back and reported to him that the repurchase contract between Young Master Guan and that Boss Li, was indeed several potholes, fortunately he found it in time and made the other party change it.
Qiao Wen recalled that Chen Canaan always said sourly that Guan Zhenbao life is good, he originally thought not, after all, Guan Zhenbao early loss of father and mother, and by the so-called friends and the closest trust of the housekeeper pitched for many years, it really can not be called a good life. But now it seems, Chen Canaan said very reasonable, this guy is indeed a good life, on his style of this loser, and now still live in a house with a maid, instead of begging for food on the street, can only be explained by a good life.
With the storybook and screenwriter, the martial arts line was again self-contained, as for the director, Qiao Wen didn't even look for one, Sun Dayu had already volunteered to join. These days, he has been completely conquered by Chen Canaan, heard that they are going to invest in a movie, and the film is still "Brave World", the heart immediately came to life.
He is a young new director, no company, built a grassroots team, can shoot two movies, all rely on his ability to talk to cheat to invest, but two are blood money, now this almost finished shooting, because the script - general, and can not afford to invite the stars, I guess it is still self-indulgent, and therefore feel that it is still looking for a tree to lean on - leaning on the future.
Although Chen Canaan and Qiao Wen's movie career was still just a small seed that hadn't made it out of the ground, he thought he had a good vision and believed that soon the seed in the soil would grow into a big tree, which he certainly couldn't miss.
Qiao Wen in fact does not know how Sun Dayu directing skills, after all, he has made two films, the theater is almost no such film, but he carefully recalled - has been about to blur the plot of the original story, as if there is such a director, and so very quickly will be his grassroots team under the banner.
In this way, the behind-the-scenes team of "The Brave World" is basically in place, with only the actors remaining. Don't worry about the supporting roles, Chen Canaan's group of juniors who have changed their profession from hooligans to martial arts masters will suffice.
The key is the hero and heroine.
To -gun it down and not waste the story of Guan Zhenbao, it's best to bring in a popular movie star. However the chances of a popular movie star starring in a new company's new director's movie are slim to none.
After weighing the situation, Qiao Wen still hit Li Xingchen with the idea.
According to the original storyline, Star Lee will eventually move from TV starlet to movie star, so he might as well take this opportunity now.
As expected, the caller contacted Li Xing Chen, and the other party immediately agreed. He also said that his contract at Bao Zhu Channel still had half a year to end, and now there was only -one- drama being filmed, so if they were willing, they could start the movie earlier without waiting for the end of his contract, and he would even out the filming time.
Jovian was greatly relieved to get his answer.
In the end there was just - a female lead left to be determined.
How famous Li Xingchen is, but after all, he is a TV star, it is difficult to carry the box office, so the female lead will have to be chosen - a suitable movie actress.
-There is no way out for the line of actresses, only to lock the target among the newcomer actresses.
Guan Zhenbao novel molded the heroine, is a kind and innocent young lady, and therefore the role of the actress is bound to be young and innocent actress.
In the end, based on the advice of Young Master Guan and Director Sun, the newest jade girl, Carrie Lam, was chosen.
This Lin Yu female only debut two years, this year just nineteen years old, acted in six or seven movies, only when the leading lady of a few movies, not much spark, so that she became popular on the contrary, two female second.
With her kind of popularity, she's just right to be paired up with the popular TV-to-movie starlet Li Xingchen.
After all, Sun Dayu has been mixed for three years in the movie industry, and can speak well, very few doors, about Lin Jia Li such actresses to talk about cooperation, but not difficult.
Qiao Wen, as the boss, naturally went with the director - as a sign of sincerity.
Appointment location, is a high-class teahouse, the two waited in the private room for a full hour, Lin Jiali - the line only came late.
Qiao Wen is the first time to see this jade star, more than the photos and the movie is a few points more beautiful, indeed quite in line with the "courage to enter the world" in the uninitiated thousand-year-old girl.
She was followed by bodyguards and maids, all in all, not exactly top-sized, but not a small row.
Then there was a competent-looking middle-aged woman, who looked a bit similar to him and should be his mother and agent. Lin's mother greeted the two courteously, "Hello, both of you."
"Hello!" Qiao Wen and Sun Dayu stood up and responded, "Hello, Ms. Lin!"
After taking her seat, Lin Jia Li first took a sip of tea, then skimmed her mouth in disgust, pushed the teacup to the -side, and said to her mother, "Mommy, go ahead!"
Mother Lin smiled and said, "I've already read the outline of the script you guys gave. Our side is very interested in the novel Bravely, and it's still an honor to invite Carrie to play the female lead. But can you see if you can adjust the role? I think the female lead's role in the outline is a bit too small."
After he finished speaking, Lin Jiali arrogantly answered, "That's right, the scripts I've got in my hands now are all female leads with a lot of roles. You are a new company and a new director, asking me to play the female lead is only because you value my fame and hope to rely on me to carry the box office. After all, Li Xingchen is acting in a movie for the -first time."
She had an innocent face, but her tone and attitude were clearly far from her looks.
It's not surprising that when you're young and famous, you see a little bit of fame and fortune and you float up.
Qiao Wen frowned slightly, picking up his teacup and taking a sip - mouthful, Sun Dayu looked at him with difficulty, hesitating for a moment and said, "The scenes can be adjusted appropriately, even if there's no way to add a scene, I can make sure that I can give you a few close-ups."
Lin's mother said, "Actually ......"
Lin Jia Li was clearly upset, interrupting her mother, "Anyway, the play in this book doesn't work now, you guys change it and come back to me. I'll only give you two weeks, after that."
Jovian grinned, "Okay, let's go back and discuss-it."
Lin Jiali added, "And the movie fee, add twenty percent to the price you gave, I don't feel confident that you are a new company, if you are sure to star in the movie, you must pay the movie fee off when you sign the contract."
Lin's mother frowned, "Carrie ......"
"Alright mommy, let's go!" Lin Jia Li got up and lightly glanced at Qiao Wen and Sun Dayu, "Remember, it's past due."
Jovian smiled and nodded as he watched the -pedestrian leave, the smile on his face slowly fading to nothing.
Sun Dayu snorted, "What kind of jade girl is this? Not even a big star yet, and she's playing big shots with us here? You really think we can't hire anyone else but her." After saying this and being silent for a moment, he added weakly, "But then again, her looks do fit Lin Yuwan."
Lin Yuwan is none other than the heroine of Bravehearts.
Qiao Wen laughed: ''We're a new company you're a new director, and she's on her way to becoming popular, this attitude isn't strange. I see her mother's attitude, she should want this role, she's just making conditions with me. Forget it, let's go back and ask Zhen Bao to see if we can slightly change- the female lead role."
However, in this case, Guan Zhenbao was very resolute, as if he finally realized that the work was his own child, and did not budge at all.
"Mr. Nan is modeled after Ah Nam, how can I let the female lead take over? And it's a kung fu movie, adding drama to - a kung fu-less young lady won't make the audience want to watch it!"
It's almost as if he's getting up in righteous indignation after saying that.
Qiao Wen also knows that interference in the creation of undesirable, listening to him so - said, quickly retracted his words, will be driven to the retreat to continue to polish the script, and instructed him in the script before the completion of the Rose Palace by no means to go to package the scene - of course, this is only - a good idea. Two days later, Guan Zhenbao slipped to the Rose Palace, using the little money left in his wallet, to pack Bai Fangfang's scene for an hour.
