I turned out to be top-notch!

When she read the tenth book, Zheng Yufang took a deep breath and put the stack of scripts in front of her together, "I will read the remaining five books slowly when I go back. Tell me, what is Zhou Dingran's request? He took out There is absolutely no reason why you should give these treasured scripts to me for reading, and this reason is definitely not a trivial matter."

Liu Ruyan smiled: "I just want you to evaluate the quality of the script. There is no special reason."

Zheng Yufang was stunned: "Really?"

"real."

Hearing Liu Ruyan's sincere answer, Zheng Yufang was still a little suspicious, but at this moment she could only follow Liu Ruyan's request to comment on these scripts: "If these scripts are really created by Zhou Dingran alone, I can only say that Zhou Dingran is He has extraordinary talent in the field of script writing. The fields he covers are too broad, and he seems to be very proficient in every field, science fiction, comedy, tragedy..."

"I even think that he is good at all popular themes on the market, and the quality of these scripts is very high, or to put it another way, the value of these scripts is very high, let's just talk about "Walking Alone on the Moon", I think its Although the content is a bit absurd, both the character setting and the script skills are definitely at the top level in the industry."

Zheng Yufang finished speaking in one breath, but still had some unfinished thoughts. After picking up the water glass on the table and taking a big sip, she said with excitement in her eyes: "If you leave this script to me, I will definitely make it shine." , its box office will become a new milestone in the field of science fiction comedy."

Liu Ruyan said nothing, but her delicate face was full of disbelief.

Although she knew that these scripts were pretty good, because even as a layman, after reading two or three of them, she felt that the content was more exciting than most movies on the market, but she just picked out a movie and blew it. A landmark movie, although Liu Ruyan is also full of confidence in Zhou Dingran, he is not blindly confident.

When Zheng Yufang saw Liu Ruyan's reaction, she immediately became anxious: "You know "Monty Python" is currently being shown? The total investment is 400 million, but its box office has not really hit the box office. Professional organizations estimate that "Monty Python" is currently being screened. The box office of "Monty Python" is around 2 billion, but after all, it is a movie with an investment of 400 million. Such a box office cannot match such a huge investment. If these 400 million were used to film "Walking on the Moon", I would dare We guarantee that the box office will never be less than 3 billion."

Now it was Liu Ruyan's turn to be shocked. She opened her red lips and said with some surprise: "Three billion? Are you sure?"

"Sure!" Zheng Yufang nodded vigorously, "Judging from the setting, style and lines of the script, this is an absolutely profitable movie. We just need to find a reliable director and actors and release it on May Day or National Day. It will definitely get a box office of 3 billion, and if it is during the Spring Festival, it will be an additional 1 billion."

"Four billion?" Liu Ruyan couldn't believe it.

But Zheng Yufang is a professional in the industry. At that time, she was the director of Tianya.com Film and Television Production. She has rich experience in film and television production. Whether a movie can be a big hit can be judged from the script alone. If top actors are added to it, and director lineup, we can basically roughly estimate the final box office numbers.

"Whether it's science fiction or comedy, these two themes can be said to be very popular in China. As long as the content of the script is filmed, there will be no worries about the audience."

Zheng Yufang smiled and said, "You should trust my market judgment, otherwise you wouldn't ask me to appraise these scripts, right?"

After a pause, she continued: "I always feel that you came to me today not just to ask me to simply evaluate the quality of the script."

She patted the stack of scripts on the table, "Do you know what these scripts mean to me as a film and television production practitioner? It's like an addict who has been recovering from drugs for many years and suddenly tastes high-purity white powder. It's too This will test the determination of the people.”

Liu Ruyan took a deep breath. At this moment, she was hearing these words spoken by the school belle Zheng Yufang.

After a long while, he said: "Can this book "Walking Alone on the Moon" have a box office of 4 billion?"

"I'll give you a guaranteed number, three billion. The minimum is three billion. There's no upper limit!"

Zheng Yufang made a big guarantee: "I believe in my professional judgment. If there are no accidents in the process of project approval, filming, and release, the final box office of this movie is guaranteed to be 3 billion, and it will never be lower than this number."

Liu Ruyan looked at the stack of scripts on the table: "What about the other scripts?"

"I haven't finished watching it, but based on the quality of the scripts I've read, the value of these scripts is immeasurable."

Zheng Yufang said: "For example, this realistic script "I'm Not the God of Medicine", first of all, the content of the script is absolutely wonderful. This is the best realistic script I have seen in recent years. I even think It’s even more exciting than Zhou Dingran’s “Young You” that is currently being released, and it is definitely a script that is rarely seen in ten years.”

"In view of the fact that its script content is designed to meet some real-life regulations, I cannot guarantee that it will be successfully produced and released, but if it can be successfully filmed and successfully released, its box office will definitely not be less than 20 billion, if the director and actors hired are top-notch, then this movie is guaranteed to have a box office of 3 billion."

Looking at Liu Ruyan's surprised look, Zheng Yufang said firmly: "Don't whisper about the box office potential of any reality-themed movie. "Young You" is a very good example. The box office of this movie has already reached 20 yuan." 100 million, and relevant agencies predict it to be over 2 billion.”

"As for other scripts, such as "Charlotte", the quality of this script is not bad, but it is a relatively bad subject in the online literary circle. The only outstanding thing is that the comedy content of this movie is very Strong, whether it is character setting or lines, etc., it can reflect editor Zhuo Ran’s literary creation skills. This makes me amazed. The Zhou Dingran I know is still a college student now, right? It’s incredible. An absolute hero has emerged from a young age. .”

Zheng Yufang sighed with emotion.

Liu Ruyan's focus was on the script. After all, she had already understood Zhou Dingran's defiance, so she was not surprised at all. "So what is the lowest box office that this script can achieve after it is filmed?"

"Judging from the various aspects of the script, "Charlotte Troubles" is not a large-scale production type, and the script type is a very common type, which can be filmed for about 50 million, but it is a comedy, a comedy What's the biggest feature? It's a comeback! Absolutely a comeback! In the history of the Chinese film industry, comedy movies are best at using small things to make a big difference."

Zheng Yufang said seriously: "So the final box office of this movie, I think, is over one billion."

"A total investment of 50 million and a box office of 1 billion?"

Liu Ruyan was shocked.

Calculated according to the conventional box office sharing operation, if the box office of 50 million is at least 150 million to be considered as a return, the remaining 850 million box office, even after being divided with theaters, will still be around 400 million.

In the original movie, "Charlotte Trouble" received a box office of 14.4 billion, which in one fell swoop brought the leading actor Shen Teng and the entire Happy Twist team to the top position in the industry. At this moment, Liu Ruyan's heart was beating fast.

Even though she is well-informed and has experienced many storms, the shock she received today cannot be described in words.

She didn't expect Zhou Dingran's script writing talent to be so strong!
He is already at the top of the music scene as a composer and lyricist, and his reputation as Wenzhao Gong can even shake the foundation of Tianmang.

But now it seems that this elder brother can actually write scripts so well!

How terrifying!

"It seems I still underestimated my boss too much."

Liu Ruyan laughed to herself.

Zheng Yufang went on to give examples of movies such as "The Richest Man in Xihong City", "Mermaid", and "She Disappeared", "These are very typical commercial movies, but in terms of content, these scripts are definitely the best in the market. existence, then their final box office will also be an astonishing figure, Ruyan, to be honest, I am a little envious of you now, you have such a capable person under your control, your future development will definitely be unlimited."

Liu Ruyan was in a very good mood, especially after learning the value of these scripts, she had a huge fantasy blueprint for the future.

But before that, every step must be down-to-earth, so she raised her head and asked: "If we are willing to cooperate with Tianya.com to jointly develop these scripts, will your company agree?"

"I knew your purpose would never be that simple. In fact, if you were really just asking me to appraise the script, then I would be really angry. Fortunately, I didn't misjudge you."

Zheng Yufang finally showed a happy smile: "I have been on tenterhooks just now, and you actually asked me if I would agree? Of course I agree, and I guarantee that the company will also agree, but everything can't be fattened by eating one bite. Fifteen scripts are enough to support a listed company, but if we want to use all of them, I think an average of three or four movies per year is pretty good. Fifteen movies are enough for us to shoot together for five years!"

Liu Ruyan thought for a while and told Zheng Yufang about the grievances between Zhou Dingran and Tianmang, as well as the news and results of the meeting with Tianmang's top management two days ago, "That's what happened. It's true that I came here just now." I came here with the idea of ​​letting you evaluate the quality of the scripts, but if you are willing to work with us to jointly develop these scripts, then I don’t have to go to several more companies. I am still very optimistic about the strength of Tianya.com.”

"Tianmang?"

Zheng Yufang murmured: "This is a little trouble. You should know that Tianmang has developed for twenty years and has become one of the leading companies in the industry. It has accumulated a lot of film sources under its hands, not to mention the films they have acquired. Source, just talking about the movies and TV series they have produced, there are more than 100, and many of them are classics."

"What's more, several recent popular movies, such as "Monty Python" and "Miracle Boy", are in contact with us and will be released on Tianya.com after they are released. If we cooperate with your company, we can first It is certain that the online broadcast rights of "Monty Python" and "Positive Youth" will definitely go to other companies, which is considered a small loss for Tianya.com."

Zheng Yufang raised her head and looked at Liu Ruyan, "However, the problem is not big. How to choose between a tree and a forest, we at Tianya.com can still make it clear."

Liu Ruyan smiled: "Then what if Tianmang withdraws all their movie sources from Tianya.com in a rage?"

"Withdraw, just withdraw. As I said, Tianya.com can tell the difference between a tree and a forest!"

Zheng Yufang's eyes were bright: "For us, Zhou Dingran is a forest. These fifteen movie scripts are the best verification. Tianya.com has lost hundreds of film sources, and it will not hurt our bones, because those film sources The copyrights are too old and cannot produce much actual value, but these fifteen movies are different. First, they will be invested by Tianya.com and released in theaters. Then the online copyright will be contracted by Tianya.com. This Even a fool can calculate the profit margins."

Liu Ruyan nodded, her anxious heart finally relieved at this moment.

The pressure brought by Huang Guoren, Xiong Zhenghua and others earlier was completely gone at this moment.

In fact, the reason why Liu Ruyan met Zheng Yufang and came all the way with this pile of scripts was to find investment and support.

Although there are many parent video platforms in China, the best one is Tianya.com, with over 100 million daily active users and the number one paid membership in the industry. This has made Tianya.com a favorite among all film and television practitioners. Many theater movies will be re-released on Tianya.com to make money after they are released.

The most important thing is that Tianya.com is backed by the government. Like Haijiao.com, it was established with the support of the Bureau of Culture, Radio and Television. Today, Tianya Haijiao.com has become the leader in online film and television and online music. If Zhou Dingran had the support of these two companies, Basically invincible.

Even if Tianmang wants to fight back and take revenge, with the support of these two sky-covering trees, Zhou Dingran will not be in any danger of being suppressed by Xue Zang again.

And all Zhou Dingran has given is some scripts and songs. As long as Zhou Dingran can continue to develop, in ten or twenty years, Zhou Dingran will dare to teach the entertainment industry to change the sky.

"In that case, I'll wait for your news."

Liu Ruyan stood up and said: "If Tianya.com is willing to invest, you can contact me at any time and we will discuss the investment ratio together."

"Okay!" Zheng Yufang agreed readily. She didn't think Zhou Dingran could put out how much money to invest, otherwise he wouldn't have found the money to find Tianya.com. Therefore, Tianya.com had to spend at least three dollars to establish these script projects. Two-thirds of the funds can be used to activate these projects.

Of course, capital risks must be shared equally, and you cannot go it alone. For such a high-quality project, it is not a bad idea to find more partners.

In any case, as long as these movie scripts are filmed, Zheng Yufang feels that she, as a producer, will definitely be able to go down in film history.

Just thinking about it makes me a little excited! (End of chapter)
