China Entertainment: Been working as a director since 03

Chapter 38: Lao Ma’s situation is wide open
  Lee Yoo is the screenwriter of Full House.

The screenwriter must have a prototype in mind when writing the script.

The screenwriter must have an idea of ​​what a character should look like.

There are even many screenwriters who, when writing scripts, write the protagonist after a certain actor, hoping that this actor can play the role they write.

That’s why Kim Hyun Kyung asked Lee Yoo if he knew anything about actors from his country.

If anyone knows, Li Yu can name some actors. KBS will consider Li Yu's opinion as the screenwriter when they remake it later, but it is only for reference.

Li Yu's selection of male and female protagonists is exactly the same as the small meeting within KBS.

This was something Jin Xianjing didn't expect.

He gave a thumbs up and praised: "Director Lee has a good vision. Jung Ji-hoon debuted as a singer last year and won the KBS Drama Award for Newcomer in his first TV series.

He is an artist who has developed into a singer and actor, and we at KBS value him very much.

Song Qiaohui has won several awards for her popular roles since her debut.

It can be seen that Director Li is very familiar with our country's entertainment industry.

I don’t know which actors KBS will choose to play Lee Young Jae and Han Xin Xin in the end.

Personally, I think the actors chosen by Director Li are perfect. "

That's not true, Li Yuxin said that he was cheating.

After changing glasses, the two parties soon got down to business. Kim Hyun Kyung offered 150 million to buy the rights to adapt and film Full House in Silla. To put it simply, it was the remake rights.

This price is not low.

The finished product of Full House, which previously sold 22 episodes, only sold 500 million, and a remake copyright alone was worth one-third of the show.

This is of course related to the popularity of Full House in the Silla region.

After the copyright matter was settled, both parties were in a very good mood. They talked about the entertainment circles of the two countries, the cultures of the two countries, and the world situation in the financial field. In short, it was just a boast.

After the dinner, Li Yu asked someone to take the half-drunk Jin Xianjing back to the hotel arranged by Hualiu Company to rest.

Just when Li Yu was about to get into his exclusive car and let the driver take him home, Lao Ma, who rarely spoke tonight, suddenly stopped Li Yu.

"Mr. Li, please stay."

Li Yu had actually noticed something strange about Lao Ma. Throughout the night, Lao Ma seemed worried.

"Mr. Li, you hired me here before and promised that as long as I do well, you can give me certain equity incentives.

This clause was written into the contract at the time. Now I want to sign a new contract and remove the equity incentive clause. "

As a veteran in the workplace, Lao Ma is really good at getting things done.

When Li Yu poached him before, he did make a promise, saying that as long as he did well, he would be given shares.

Now he finds that Hualiu Company's business is booming.

The second-round broadcast rights of "Full House" in the Mainland were sold to Lu Province and Xiangnan Channel, with a total of more than 2 million sold.

The total amount before and after selling to Silla is almost 7 million.

In the process of selling it to a mainland TV station, although Lao Ma, a veteran of the TV station, had a share of the credit, he did not dare to take the first credit.

He knew very well that it was Li Yu's works that were photographed well, and his connections were just the icing on the cake. Full House has become a hit in Silla.

It is estimated that after countries such as Sakura and Southeast Asia see the ratings of Full House in Silla, they will soon follow up with Hualiu Company to purchase the broadcast rights and even the remake rights of Full House.

Seeing what has happened or is about to happen, Lao Ma found that the contract he signed previously put him in a bit of danger.

He didn't drift. He knew very well that the core of the company was Li Yu.

Li Yu has already established his brand and has become a cutting-edge director in the television industry.

Even without his connections, the next drama will still be sold, and it will be sold at a high price.

Instead of Li Yu helping him with dignity in the future, Lao Ma decided to cut off his wrist and give himself dignity.

What kind of equity incentives are needed? Wouldn't it be nice to simply remove this item and just be a well-paid part-time worker?
  Having worked together for a while, Lao Ma found that his boss was quite generous to his people.

He is so sensible, Li Yu will definitely not treat him badly, right?
  Li Yu was naturally very happy about Lao Ma's decision to open up the game.

Lao Ma is really a smart man, he knows how to assess the situation and can clearly position himself.

It was just a temporary measure to give Lao Ma a big pie. Since Lao Ma was willing to take the initiative to change the contract, Li Yu did not engage in push-and-pull tactics and directly agreed.

Just as Lao Ma thought, he was already so sensible, and Li Yu would definitely not treat him badly.

Li Yu promised to give Lao Ma another 20% salary increase.

The bright smile returned to Lao Ma's face, and he smiled and said to Li Yu: "Mr. Li, we should be invited to participate in the Golden Eagle Festival held in Xiangnan next month.

If nothing else, our Full House crew will get something out of it. "

Lao Ma was very confident when he said this, and it was obvious that he had some credit for it.

"Lao Ma, you can do it!"

Li Yu was a little happy, this was an unexpected surprise for him.

Li Yu did not expect Full House to win the award at first.

Because awards are not something you can get if you take good photos.

Full House made by Li Yu is an idol drama, so it is definitely impossible to win the Feitian Award.

I never expected that Lao Ma would be so awesome that he would actually get connected with Xiang Nantai and help Full House win one or two awards.

It's definitely a good thing to win an award.

"Mr. Li received the award, but it actually has something to do with your recent popularity.

Xiangnantai saw that Full House's results were so impressive and wanted to win over Mr. Li.

Buying the second-run broadcast rights of Full House is a signal sent by Xiangnan Channel. "

Lao Ma said seriously.

As the old saying goes, you have to be tough to make iron.

It was Li Yu who made his achievements and showed them to everyone. Xiangnan Station was interested in making friends with Li Yu, a new director, so that Lao Ma could mediate and gain benefits for Hualiu Company and Full House.

If Li Yu had not made any achievements, Xiang Nantai would not even bother with Lao Ma, and Lao Ma would be nothing but a clever woman trying to make a living without rice.
