Chapter 793 The first director signed

"Aren't you going to read the script first or talk about the conditions?" Yi Shuihan was a little surprised, and Xu Yongzhi was so straightforward that he didn't expect it.

Unexpectedly, Xu Yongzhi shook his head and said seriously: "Since you believe in me, a down-and-out director, why should I not believe in you!"

Yi Shuihan was also a little moved by Xu Yongzhi's trust, and his statement was equivalent to his unconditional trust in himself.

It's like buying something, the buyer decides to buy it before the seller gives the price, and the price is up to you.

"Haha, I don't see that Director Xu is such an emotional person!" Yi Shuihan smiled and said with some emotion.

Xu Yongzhi also knew that he was a little impulsive, but facing Yi Shuihan who trusted him so much, he really didn't mind being so impulsive for a while.

He shook his head and said with a wry smile: "Actually, things like sensibility have to be divided into people.

After filming "Legend of Sword and Fairy", my fame and social value have greatly increased. I am very old, but I did not expect to be blinded by honor.

Those producers and investors were so nice to invite and compliment me, I thought my ability was beyond the sky, so I accepted all kinds of films.

After filming and broadcasting, when the results are not satisfactory, you have to face their cynicism.

I didn't expect that I, Old Xu, would understand this truth at this age. I am really ashamed.

To be honest, now is actually the hardest time for me.

I told you before that this year's schedule is completely empty... In fact, no one has asked me to make a TV series!

Over the years, the capital intrusion into the film and television industry has been very strong, and no one likes a director like me who does not make money for several TV series.

Only you, Yi Shuihan, are willing to give me a chance.

Ahan, don't worry, I will definitely film this TV series with my heart.

Not only because of your trust, but also because I want those people who look down on others to see that I, Xu Yongzhi, can still make good TV dramas..."

Seeing Xu Yongzhi who spoke a little emotionally, Yi Shuihan was deeply touched.

Thinking back to the beginning, Xu Yongzhi was so beautiful after filming "Legend of Sword and Sword One", but after several successive failures, he was so lonely that he had no drama to film.

The entertainment industry is such a cruel place. Don't look at the film king who just won the witch hazel leaf, as long as he fails several times in a row, the situation will not be much better than Xu Yongzhi.

This made him more determined to take every TV series, movie, and every job seriously.

"Director Xu, I chose you not because of anything else, but because of your own ability!" Yi Shuihan said seriously, "Even if we trust each other, we still have to explain the remuneration in advance. It is estimated to be around 46 episodes, and the price we will give you after negotiation at the studio is... 20 yuan per episode!"

Xu Yongzhi was stunned, 20 yuan per episode... This is too much!
Now top-notch TV drama directors probably have an episode of more than 20 yuan and 30 yuan, while the average director of an episode is about 6 to [-] yuan per episode.

If it was Xu Yongzhi's price three years ago just after he finished filming Immortal Sword One, 20 yuan per episode is obviously quite appropriate, and there is even room for a price increase.

But now, let alone 20 yuan per episode, even if it is 10 yuan per episode, no one may be willing to hire him.

And Yi Shuihan was willing to pay such a high price to invite him, which made him a little moved and at the same time somewhat ashamed!
"This...too much!" Xu Yongzhi took a deep breath, hesitated for a moment, and his expression gradually became firm: "One hundred thousand and one episode is the right value for me at this time!"

Yi Shuihan waved his hand and said, "Director Xu, you don't need to refuse. We give you the price based on your ability. If you don't deserve the price, we won't give you the price. In business, you don't have to worry about it. It's about the matter of Immortal Sword II in the future, so I will trouble you a lot!"

Xu Yongzhi took a deep look at Yi Shuihan, and said seriously: "I will live up to my trust."

"That's serious!" Yi Shuihan smiled, looking at Xu Yongzhi who has a long history with him, he suddenly remembered something and asked: "Director Xu, I would like to ask, which film and television company are you with now?" Do you sign a contract?"

Xu Yongzhi was stunned for a moment, and responded: "Basically, every time I make a TV series, I sign a separate labor contract, and there is no film and television company to sign with!"

"Then how do you sign a contract with our studio? Our studio has not yet signed a director. If Director Xu signs a contract with our studio, our film and television resources will be tilted towards you. The director must also give priority to you. As for the specific share and We can discuss the filming salary later, but it will definitely not be more demanding than those large film and television companies!" Yi Shuihan said seriously.

This can be said to be Yi Shuihan's whim. At the end of last year, when discussing the development of the coming year with Zheng Liaoyuan, they mentioned that they would set up a director department this year.

And Xu Yongzhi in front of him happens to be a very suitable director candidate.

First of all, he is an old director, able to independently direct a TV series, and even have the ability to make high-quality movies, which is the talent resource most needed by the studio at present.

Secondly, Xu Yongzhi is in a low state at this time, but it happens to be the most appropriate time. If he is in the stage of prosperity, he probably does not want to be restrained by the studio.

The third point is that Yi Shuihan believes that he can rise again after filming "Legend of Sword and Sword II", and he can also become a signature of the studio by then!
And Xu Yongzhi was obviously a little stunned after hearing Yi Shuihan's proposal. He had never thought of signing with any film and television company before.

After all, as long as you have the ability and someone is willing to invite you, the cooperation model of one work and one labor contract is more concise and free.

But after these months of torment, his thoughts have loosened up a bit, and signing a contract with the studio is also a guarantee!
After all, it was something that would involve a long time in the future, so he thought very carefully.

The first thing to consider is whether Yi Shuihan's studio has a development prospect. The answer is beyond doubt. Even in the entire entertainment circle, there is no studio with better development than him!
So for him, what are the benefits of signing with Yi Shuihan Studio?First of all, there is no need to worry about film and television resources when it comes to directing. The studio and even himself have fully invested works approved every year. As long as he has the ability, he will not worry about not having a film.

And the quality of the script produced by Yi Shuihan Studio is obvious to all!Whether it's "Legend of Sword and Fairy", "Dragon and Babu" or "Infernal Affairs", all of them are high-quality goods, and he doesn't have to worry about his value dropping because of bad movies.

In addition, Yi Shuihan also said that the terms of the contract will not be too harsh, which means that his future income will only be high or not low... For a person who needs to support his family, this is a great temptation.

If there are any disadvantages, Xu Yongzhi frowned and thought for a while, it is that in the future, the filming will be reviewed by the studio, and there will be a commission.

This disadvantage is nothing to him who doesn't even have anything to shoot at this time...

"Okay... let's talk about this matter later..."
