Another World Under My Pen

Chapter 312: redemption?

"Sister, can you take back the Mission Impossible script?"

In the parking lot, Sun Peng sat in the car tangled for a while, and then called the second sister.

"Of course not!"

Subconsciously answered one sentence first, and then Sun Ya asked in surprise: "We have already signed a contract with someone...Of course, if you haven't delivered it yet, you just need to pay a high penalty, but now the script is also paid. Come on...what's wrong? Are you talking about it?"

"What if you have to take it back? Is there a way?"

Sun Peng continued to ask without answering the second sister's question.

"This... I'm afraid it will be difficult."

After hesitating for a while, Sun Ya said helplessly: "The key depends on where the other party's preparations are now. If you just stay on paper, maybe you can discuss it. If you have already started making props, or have signed with the actors. If the contract is concluded, then it must be considered together with these losses... I said Xiaopeng, what is going on? Why is it suddenly taking back the script?"

Sun Peng breathed a sigh of relief when he heard that he could talk, and then he said in a deep voice: "Because I just learned that their so-called 300 million investment actually includes the actors' pay! Ha ha... I'm also a layman. I didn't even ask clearly!"

"Does this... matter?"

Sun Ya couldn't help but ask what the little brother said.

Although a lawyer, she knows less than Sun Peng in these aspects of the movie. Sun Peng understands his script better anyway, knowing that more than 100 million production fees can't do anything good at all, but Sun Ya has almost no concept, so he didn't pay attention to this when he looked at the contract.

"Of course, it's a big deal!"

Nodding vigorously, Sun Peng said in a very unhappy heart: "Let’s tell you this, if you get rid of the pay, then it’s ruining my script! My psychological bottom line is 300 million production costs, but now the gallop invites Tang Long, Qiu Bingbing and Bai Renmu starred, and the film pay should also be included in the production fee!"

"Ah? Wouldn't it cost tens of millions?"

After listening to Sun Peng's explanation, Sun Ya suddenly exclaimed!

Even if he no longer understands the truth in the movie, as an ordinary person, Sun Ya also knows that the actors' pay is now scary, and often read reports to criticize this. If this is the case, it is indeed a bit far from the brother's request.

"Tens of millions? At least more than one billion! And maybe even including the cost of publicity!"

Thinking of the words of those two people just now, Sun Peng shook his head and sighed: "Sister, come back now. Let's negotiate with Benma Films. The production cost of Mission Impossible must reach 300 million after excluding the actors' pay! Otherwise, I will I would rather lose money than get the script back!"

"This... Xiaopeng, you have to think about it!"

Sun Ya's voice suddenly became hesitant, and she said in a deep voice, "Not to mention that the script is handed in after signing the contract. If they disagree, it will be difficult to get it back. Just say you want to spend money. , It is probably a very large number!"

"Sister, I think about it!"

After gritting his teeth, Sun Peng said solemnly: "As long as I can bear it, I would rather spend money than let them ruin their script!"

At this moment, Sun Peng also regretted it.

I was still too naive and didn't know much about the film industry at all, so I rashly came up with three scripts. God knows what's going on with Lotus and the Forbidden City besides running horses? Fortunately, I was triumphant at the beginning, thinking that the reputation accumulated in the past few years was big enough, so it was so easy to find investors!

Now think about it, what is not naive?

They are all good things on earth. Why don't people want to buy them if they are not blind?

But buying it does not mean that he will do it according to Sun Peng's ideas. He has no control over this!

If it is placed in China on the earth, the total investment of 300 million yuan may not be considered small. After all, the investment promotion of domestic films has always been astonishing. But in this economy, where the size of the economy is several times larger, and the per capita investment is several times higher, China’s investment of 300 million yuan is at most a medium level. What's more, it’s hard to believe that Sun Peng would use this amount of money. Able to shoot good things.

"Ok!"

After thinking about it, Sun Ya finally nodded and said: "Wait for me over there, I'll go back soon..."

...

"Snapped!"

"Too arrogant!"

Taking a photo of the table fiercely, Gong Fan said angrily: "He really thought he would go to heaven after writing a few novels? And 300 million production fees? Who does he think he is? Qiao Zhiyu?"

"..."

Xing Jiazhong was silent as the vice president of Benma Pictures who lost his temper.

Xing Jiazhong really knows the cause and effect of this matter. After all, it was Sun Ya he received at the beginning, and he also knew that the company had promised 300 million production fees for others... As for the production fee, does it include the production fee for the film or not? The production cost of the film remuneration, but the company was vague and did not explain. .

It is a layman like Sun Peng who makes such a mistake.

but……

Looking at Tang Long and Bian Lin, who were equally unsightly, Xing Jiazhong slowly said: "Gong, whether he is qualified or not, the question now is that he has done this, what should we do?"

"Huh, how much does he plan to pay back for the script?"

His face sank, Gong Fan immediately asked.

"At least three million!"

"Three million? He would rather pay three million to redeem the script?"

After listening to Xing Jiazhong’s answer, the anger on Gong Fan’s face gradually receded, replaced by surprise and solemnity: "Lao Xing, I remember that Sun Peng was the screenwriter of "Criminal Minds", and he also wrote several recent movies. Martial arts novels, right?"

"More than that, he is also a songwriter and the most important partner of Luo Cheng, Chen Feifei and Ma Boyuan!"

With his hands spread out, Xing Jiazhong's tone was also full of helplessness: "So I personally suggest that it is best to discuss with Mr. Sun and find a plan acceptable to both parties!"

If possible, he really doesn't want the department to receive these three million dollars.

It's not because I think Mission Impossible is indispensable, but facing a well-known writer with millions of fans, these three million are really a burnt hand!

Think about it, is it true?

An unknown newcomer screenwriter and an energetic newcomer screenwriter are completely two concepts! Otherwise, how could Xing Jiazhong value it so much when they came to vote for the script? How could Tang Long become interested at once? There is also a film with a 300 million investment, is it really that easy to pass the company's approval?

After all, in addition to the good script, it's not because of Sun Peng's identity!

On the one hand, it is because Sun Peng’s past success has given them confidence, on the other hand, it is also because of Sun Peng’s millions of fans. Look at other people’s "Criminal Minds" and the cartoon. Can no fans become popular?

Therefore, such a person should never be regarded as an ordinary screenwriter.

If it really fell out, Benma Film and Television would definitely not be the one taking advantage.

If you collect the money and return the script, they will find another company to sell it in silence. Then throw so much money for nothing, don't you yell and complain? Then when someone asked why, Sun Peng directly said that Benma Pictures was too stingy, and the promised production fee became 300 million plus the star pay, so I would rather lose money than let the girls ruin my script...

Is it disgusting or embarrassing?

If you insist on not paying back, and then continue to invest in shooting Mission Impossible, you can also call on fans not to go to the movies. This will not only fail to meet the expected advantage of a well-known writer, but also resistance. Moreover, if the box office is really bad then...

Gong Fan is not a fool, of course he also understands the truth.

Although the Benma film industry has a great career, it is not in the same order of magnitude as the other party; although Gong Fan just kept saying that the other party has only written a few novels, but...

Is it true?

So after frowning and pondering for a while, Gong Fan quickly looked at Tang Long and Bian Lin: "Two teachers, what do you think of this matter?"

For these two, Gong Fan could not be so rude.

After all, Xing Jiazhong is his subordinate, but Tang Long and Bian Lin are in a cooperative relationship. Although they are also artists under the company's name, their status and status are quite different.

"We? Of course we hope to be able to continue shooting!"

After taking a look at Tang Long, Bian Lin sighed and said, "To be honest, the script is really well written, and I am confident that I can make a good movie! But... just like Mr. Sun said, make Fei's investment still has an impact on the quality of the film. I agree with him in this regard. But..."

After a pause, Bian Lin went on to say: "As a director, I will do my best to make this movie as much as I can, so the key depends on the company's decision."

"...Old slippery!"

After hearing what Bian Lin said, Tang Long couldn't help rolling his eyes.

It not only emphasized that he obeyed the company's decision, and seemed to be loyal; but also expressed his hope that the production cost would be higher and the film could be made better. This is really...

"Hehe, I mean that too!"

Tang Long's subsequent statement made Gong Fan's eyes narrow instantly.

Ma Dan, how come these so-called artists are all of this virtue? Who doesn't know that high investment can do well. The question is, can you make money back?

In addition to the historical giants that can be made in China, movie income generally depends on box office and various networks, TV broadcasting rights. In recent years, other pictures, games and various peripheral income have slowly started. But overall, the real big head is the box office. For example, the box office of Benma Pictures accounts for 60 to 70% of the total revenue!

300 million investment, the box office needs at least 6 to 7 billion to recover!

If the net production fee is raised to 300 million in one go, plus the remuneration and announcements, it is 500 million, can the box office of this film reach 1 billion? You know that neither Tang Long nor Bian Lin seem to have made a billion-dollar film yet?

The other two big bosses who were replaced by the company may be about the same!

So after thinking about it, Gong Fan's expression gradually turned cold. Perhaps an additional 100 million investment is nothing to the company, but it is also 100 million after all...

The risk is too great!

Moreover, as the vice president in charge of investment, Gong Fan does not want to make such a mouthful: If in the future everyone is not satisfied with the amount of investment, if there is a trouble, then there are no rules?

"You can talk more, but we have to keep the bottom line!"

After a while, Gong Fan said solemnly: "The 300 million investment cannot be increased, but we must have a good talk with him and try to make him understand us. In addition, Mr. Bian, I think you can also consider the issue of casting. See if we can properly reduce some costs..."
