Backtracking to the Age of Literature and Art

Chapter 570 Triangle (first update)
After the script was finalized, Howard remembered to drink the coffee in front of him.

Jimmy wanted to change a cup for him, but he smiled and waved his hands and said, "I like to keep coffee for a long time before drinking it. Now it tastes just right."

"Your taste is quite special." Jimmy laughed.

Howard took a sip of his coffee and asked, "Mr. James, can I meet YU?"

Jimmy nodded, "Of course, the director and screenwriter should meet. After a while, we will hold an annual meeting in deep space. Do you have time to go to China together?"

"Go to China?" Howard raised his eyebrows which were not so thick: "As long as I can see YU, I have time."

"It seems that you really like YU very much, and that's right, otherwise you wouldn't spend more than 400 million yuan to buy a script from him."

"I like YU very much, but it is not just because I like him that I paid more than 400 million for the script. If we want to divide the more than 400 million, 300 million of the more than 100 million are paid for the name of YU, and more than [-] million are paid for the name of YU. You Deep Space Corporation paid for it."

"Oh? Is it?"

Howard nodded and said: "Of course, the screenwriting fee of more than 400 million must have broken the record of Hollywood screenwriting fee. I think you Shenkong will definitely not miss the opportunity to promote such an important matter. Your company, in addition to being able to In addition to producing good works, you always do a good job in publicity, and a shopping website like Amazon can be used by you.”

Jimmy looked at Howard with a smile: "How do I feel, it only costs more than 400 million, which is a bit of a loss."

Howard quickly said, "No matter how high I am, I really can't afford it."

"Haha, just kidding you."

……

That night, Jimmy called Yu Dong and told him about the finalized script.

"After fighting for it, I got an increase of 30, and the transaction price was 430 million. Are you satisfied?"

Hearing that the final transaction price was 430 million, Yu Dong smiled and said, "This Howard is really rich."

"This Howard is so smart. After spending so much money to buy your script this time, he directly broke the record of Hollywood screenwriter fees. He will definitely become famous. By then, the movie will become popular before it is broadcast, and he will save a lot. publicity costs."

"That's right, we still have to cooperate with him in publicity."

"It's to cooperate with him in publicity. It's a record. It's a pity not to brag about it. Anyway, it's a win-win for us."

"Well, okay, there is a meeting in the morning, so I won't tell you."

"Oh, don't worry, there is one more thing."

"What else do you have?"

Jimmy said with a smile, "Coincidentally, a company asked me to make an appointment with your script today, saying that we can raise the price as we please, isn't it already 400 million, so I told them that if it is less than 350 million, no negotiation, They are also very straightforward, saying that they will give us an intention money of 50 tomorrow."

Yu Dong was taken aback: "Which company is so rich? I didn't even read the script, and I paid 50 intention money first? Is their company printing money?"

"It's not a big company, but it has something to do with Universal. It's quite sincere. It's estimated that if you talk about it, you can get 400 million. Didn't you say you want to get a few middle schools last time? If you sell this script, it will be enough for you to make a lot of money." school."

"Jimmy, you have a good plan. This is the screenwriter's fee, and it will go into my private treasury. Why don't you think about paying the money from the company? Is it because you also have a share of the company's money?"

"My Dong, what you said made me sad. Am I that kind of person?"

"you are not?"

"Uh... okay, okay, the company will also do the school's affairs, and, this time, the scriptwriting fee, isn't there a 5.00% commission from me? I don't want this money anymore, I will invest it with the school together How about going up?"

Yu Dong smiled with satisfaction: "That's about the same. Tell me, what are the requirements of this company?"

"They want two elements, time and space plus horror."

"They also want time and space?" Yu Dong frowned, a little confused: "Why does it feel like they have negotiated, Jimmy, are you planning on me? Is there really such a company?"

"How could it not be? If you don't believe me, I'll give you the phone number of that company, and you can ask."

"Forget it, I'll just write it."

"Oh, hurry up, they're waiting."

"Understood, I will work overtime these few days."

"Well, don't be tired. Making money is secondary. I pay more attention to your health. Isn't it just 400 million?"

……

After hanging up the phone, Yu Dong took out his notebook and wrote the words "horror cruise ship" on it, and then he crossed out these four words and wrote "triangle" next to it, because he thought the scary The translation of the name cruise ship is not particularly good.

The main reason is that Yu Dong thinks that the word "horror" in the title of the movie always makes people feel like a small low-cost movie. When people hear this kind of title, they will think it is haunted on a cruise ship or something bloody. murdering case.

When Jimmy mentioned "time and space" and "horror" just now, the movie "Horror Cruise" immediately appeared in Yu Dong's mind. This is a movie that does not have a high box office but can stand the test of time.

Of course, if it was written by Yu Dong and then promoted by Deep Space, the box office will definitely be better, but it should not be much better, because many people will feel confused when they watch it for the first time.

Although the box office won't be too high, Yu Dong still wants to write it out. As long as the copyright is managed well, even though the box office is not close, it should be able to pay back in the future.

Yu Dong was going to the meeting first, and then went directly to the office to start writing the script.

……

On the other side, after Jimmy hung up the phone, he had a triumphant smile on his face.

How can there be any company, he made it all up, he just saw Yu Dong writing the script so fast, and felt that those genius ideas in Yu Dong's head could be squeezed out again, so he made up a company, let Yu Dong Write another script related to time and space.

As long as this script is written, Yu Dong can be given the title of "Master of Time" in the future, and these works related to time can be made into a special topic and packaged together for publicity in the future.

As for the 350 million screenwriting fee, Jimmy wasn't worried at all.

As long as Yu Dong can write the script, Jimmy has the confidence to sell it to 350 million. Even if it can't be sold, as long as the script is good, the company can buy it and shoot it by itself.

Jimmy has already figured it out, if Yu Dong can write the script quickly this time, he will create another company and ask Yu Dong to write another one, and strive to produce three scripts before the year.

"Man, they were all forced out."
