let go of that director

Chapter 51 Planning
An Taihe laughed dryly, and said, "I think, he wants to...excessively demand prices and pay back the money when he lands."

Li Xiuman nodded: "It's possible." Then he looked at An Taihe, "What about you, you have had the most contact with him and know him relatively well, what's your opinion?"

An Taihe said: "I don't think we should treat Lee Seung Woo as a new screenwriter. Not to mention that he is already a successful director with a box office of 200 million viewers, even though many people in the industry think he is just a fluke, but I contacted him Know more, and know more, Lee Seung Woo's talent and potential are beyond doubt. Not to mention other things, let's talk about the script of this TV series. If the script is not excellent, we will not cooperate with him.

Compared with those who don't know Lee Seung Woo well, we should be able to see his talent and potential better, and we shouldn't be affected by external evaluation.

Taking a step back, just like what you said just now, the director, even if we give him the treatment of an A-level screenwriter and 2000 million yuan in remuneration, after 20 episodes, there is actually not much money.The profits we earned from representing his movies alone far exceeded this figure.Even if the ratings of the TV series are not ideal, we don't pay much.What's more, I am very optimistic about the script this time, and the ratings are still worth looking forward to.

But if you think about it from another angle, knowing Lee Seung Woo's talent and potential, he missed the opportunity to cooperate with him, and even made the other party resentful because of the contract.When Lee Seung-woo becomes famous and becomes a well-known director, we just want to get in touch with him again. I'm afraid because of this incident, Lee Seung-woo may not be willing to befriend us anymore.

Not only will we miss the opportunity to expand our network in the film industry and open up channels for our artists, but we will also become a laughing stock in the industry because of this incident. Come less and less, but the loss outweighs the gain. "

After listening, Li Xiuman smiled, and without speaking, he looked at Jin Yingmin first: "What do you think of what Tae He said?"

Jin Yingmin smiled and said: "This contract is just a trial, not the final plan."

Li Xiuman smiled again, and looked at An Taihe: "What about you, Taehe, since you are so optimistic about Li Chengyou, how do you think we should cooperate with him?"

An Taihe pondered for a moment, and said: "The rebroadcast fee and copyright dividend are non-negotiable, and it is impossible to gamble. But we can agree to Li Chengyou and redraft the dividend according to the standards of other screenwriters. As for the author's remuneration, I think it can be done within a certain To a certain extent, we agree to Lee Seung Woo. Regardless of whether the ratings reach 10%, we will pay him 1000 million for each episode. If it exceeds 15%, in addition to the basic remuneration, we will reward him with an additional 500 million for each episode. If it exceeds 20%, we will pay him 2000 million for each episode. If it can really exceed 30%, it's okay to give him 5000 million.

After all, what we invest in is not only this TV series, but also Lee Seung Woo himself and his future. "

Li Xiuman smiled and looked at Jin Yingmin again: "What do you think?"

Jin Yingmin thought for a while, and said: "Taihe explained the pros and cons very clearly, and his suggestion is also reasonable. Just like what the director said just now, if you want the horse to run, you have to feed the horse." But he paused , Jin Yingmin suddenly changed the subject, "But Tae-hwa only considered how to win over Lee Seung-woo, but ignored one point."

Jin Yingmin looked at An Taihe: "Taehwa, don't forget that we are an SM company, and Lee Seung-woo is just a newcomer after all. Buying a horse bone with a lot of money can certainly show sincerity, but it will also break the tradition and raise the standard. Moreover, we must Considering one point, there are complicated reasons why the TV drama circle does not set the remuneration according to the ratings like the movie circle.

and so.

My opinion is that in order to express sincerity, the remuneration for each episode can be increased to 1500 million, and the copyright dividend can also be promised to Li Chengyou, and written into the contract according to the standards of other screenwriters.

But this is our final solution. "

This time, Li Xiuman didn't ask An Taihe again. He smiled, looked at Jin Yingmin, then looked at An Taihe, nodded and said: "Okay, let's make it according to Yingmin's plan. Taehwa, follow-up negotiations with Li Chengyou, you continue." Responsible."

……

Two days later, An Taihe and Li Chengyou met again.

The two parties had an in-depth communication last time, and Lee Seung Woo also expressed his bottom line to An Taihe, and even made it clear that he continued to cooperate with SM Company because of An Taihe.So when faced with the final proposal given by SM, Lee Seung Woo didn't hesitate, and didn't raise any extra conditions. The two parties successfully reached a cooperation and initially signed the contract.

After the contract was signed, the TV series entered the preparatory stage.

The production model of Korean TV dramas is different from that in China.

For Korean TV dramas, after the script planning meeting, the screenwriter writes a few episodes of the script according to the plan, and the production company will apply to the TV station for the broadcast schedule with the plot outline and the completed script, and continue writing after obtaining the broadcasting permission. Invest in and participate in the production of the series.

In addition, sponsors are also one of the main investment forces for TV dramas.

of course.

Follow-up troublesome matters, such as contacting TV stations and sponsors, will be taken care of by SM Company, and Lee Seung Woo is mainly in charge of writing the script.

Lee Seung Woo will get more deeply involved when the TV series enters casting and filming.

So it is.

After initialing the contract and greeting An Taihe, Li Chengyou was ready to leave for Huaxia.

He didn't go for a long time this time. It is estimated to be about half a month. Apart from meeting Li's father and Li's mother, he mainly discussed with Li's father about investing in China.

With the memory of the previous life, although this is a parallel time and space, and there are certain differences in history, the big framework is still the same.

Compared with South Korea's investment environment, Huaxia's market is naturally broader and more promising.

Not to mention that the Korean chaebols are in power. With Lee Seung-woo's small body, no matter how talented and capable he is, it will be difficult to break through from the inside under the strict hierarchy and barriers.Therefore, if you want not to be a phoenix tail, live a relatively free life, and become a small group of people in the upper class of South Korea who can share power, you can only start from the outside, and then reverse infiltration into South Korea after accumulating strength from the outside.

It is precisely because of these considerations, coupled with the identities of Li's father and Li Chengyou's own Chinese descent, they also have original clan connections in China, and Li's father originally had experience in business.

So Li Chengyou went to Huaxia this time to discuss with Li's father to let Li's father resume his old business and fight in the mall again.

Li Chengyou thinks the problem is not big.

After all, men are not ambitious yet, and father Li must have undiminished ambition in middle age.

As for which direction to start, Li Chengyou has also considered it.

The 21st century is an era of great changes in the Internet, facing unlimited opportunities, but also full of business opportunities.Father Li originally had experience in the clothing industry, and e-commerce has been booming in recent years. In addition, Lee Seung-woo has memories of his previous life and understands trends. He was an artist and director in his previous life, and he also knows a lot about the fashion field.

So Lee Seung-woo is going to start with online business and clothing industry.

of course.

The reason for this choice is also because Lee Seung Woo has limited funds.

It is impossible for him to invest all the income earned from the movie to Father Li, so he can only start with his feet on the ground and start with the industry he and Father Li are relatively familiar with.

After making preparations, Li Chengyou set off for Huaxia.
