Chapter 43: The Sky-high Script Fee!?

Sunday, July 9th. Pen fun and pavilion www.biquge.info

Yesterday, the filming of "True and False Champion" was completed, and the crew was temporarily disbanded and waited for the broadcast of new episodes.

Everyone has worked hard for nearly a month, and it is time to take a break, if you tense your nerves, it is not good for the later shooting.

When it was acquired yesterday, Liu Tianci, Shi Shaoming and Xiao Sheng made an appointment with Yin Jun to have lunch today, and the place was Xingji Tea Restaurant.

After Yin Jun arrived, he first greeted Brother Xing and a group of workers, put the gifts he bought for them on the counter, and chatted with them for a while before entering the private room on the second floor.

Because the filming is really busy, after resigning, Yin Jun has not returned to Xingji Tea Restaurant, and this time he is back, so he naturally has to pay attention to the number of etiquette.

Brother Xing knew that Yin Jun wrote the script of "Bao Qingtian", and they were also happy for Yin Jun for Yin Jun's experience of going through hardships and finally succeeding.

In the private room, Liu Tianci, Xiao Sheng and Shi Shaoming had already ordered a lot of small dishes and food, and they were eating and drinking slowly at this time.

They have also been busy during this time, and today is also a rare leisure, mainly because of the relaxation of the soul.

Yesterday was the fifth episode of "Bao Qingtian", and it was also the second time it was broadcast at 8 o'clock, and as a result, its ratings lived up to expectations, increasing by 2 percentage points to 55%, officially exceeding the second place "Heaven and Dragon Slayer" 27% twice, truly forming a crushing situation.

At this point, even the most pessimistic people already know that it is a matter of time before "Bao Qingtian" breaks 60% of the ratings, and even 70% is not impossible.

What makes Jiashi even happier is not this Hong Kong record.

But yesterday, the Huashi TV station on the treasure island officially made a request to introduce "Bao Qingtian", and the price they gave was 20,000 Hong Kong dollars per episode, which was rejected by Liang Shuyi without thinking.

Liang Shuyi's condition was 20% of the advertising share, but they also directly rejected it.

But both sides actually have the intention of cooperation, so most of the time they will still find a balance in the future to achieve a win-win situation.

After the ratings came out this morning, before they came over, Singapore TV also sent someone to find Liang Shuyi, and also proposed an episode of 20,000 Hong Kong dollars to buy the broadcast rights of "Bao Qingtian", Liang Shuyi was a little moved, after all, Singapore's place is too small, and 20,000 episodes is already a very sincere price for them.

According to the contact person in Singapore, not only them, but also Malaysia, Thailand, Indonesia, the Philippines, and Vietnam are also very motivated, and it has been a matter of two days to negotiate.

Once the negotiation of TV dramas in these places is completed, at least one episode of "Bao Qingtian" will reach more than 200,000 Hong Kong dollars, and the average cost of "Bao Qingtian" so far is only more than 9,000 per episode, how much money does this have to make?

From the end of the road to the sudden dawn, Liu Tianci and Shi Shaoming looked at Yin Jun, and they really felt like they were looking at a savior.

But today, when they were looking for Yin Jun, they were not chatting, but had something very important to discuss.

That is the follow-up script problem of "Bao Qingtian".

At the beginning, Liu Tianci, Shi Shaoming and Xiao Sheng all knew that Yin Jun had not only written three unit stories, but at least seven or eight of them.

But they didn't have much confidence at the time, so they pretended not to hear about it, and they didn't mention buying a follow-up script.

On Friday morning, when "Bao Qingtian" broke the record at 7 o'clock, Liang Shuyi had already raised this issue, and on Saturday morning, after seeing that the ratings of "Bao Qingtian" exploded "Heaven and Dragon Slayer" and "Transfiguration Doctor", becoming the first in the 8 o'clock file, Liang Shuyi immediately asked them to start discussing how to do the follow-up episodes.

Everyone knows that Yin Jun is a smart person, especially when they heard Xiao Sheng say two days ago, Yin Jun was still indifferent and still working hard when the ratings were low, and when the ratings were high, he was not surprised or happy, as expected.

"Don't think of him as a 16-year-old, I think he's like a 46-year-old smart middle-aged man. Xiao Sheng said to the high-level officials.

Let's say that Xiao Sheng's evaluation is a bit exaggerated, but with Yin Jun's performance, everyone already knows that it is absolutely impossible to buy an episode for 500 yuan if you imagine it was like before.

In fact, since the beginning, Yin Jun has never talked about the script again, and after the ratings became popular, he still didn't mention it, and the reason was already obvious, he was waiting for someone from Jiashi to come to talk.

If it is according to the current situation, and if it continues to be prosperous in the future, I am afraid that it will be a bit bad to give Yin Jun the highest-grade 1200 episode.

Other screenwriters, when they can get a price of 1200 for an episode, they are the most popular dramas of the year, and it is impossible to get them every year.

But Yin Jun is different from these screenwriters, a big difference is that he is not an employee of the TV station, there is no contractual relationship, and his writing of scripts is a single transaction - in addition to rewards, other screenwriters can also earn about 1,000 yuan a month in drought and flood, but Yin Jun does not have this guarantee, so he will definitely ask for more.

Also, although the ratings of "Bao Qingtian" are very high, other TV stations may not be willing to agree to Yin Jun's lion opening his mouth, because this drama is gone, they can still do the next one, it is impossible to destroy the overall salary structure for Yin Jun, anyway, it will not die without this TV series.

It's different.

Jiashi lacks this TV series, and it will be over soon!

There is no need to wait for the advertising investment conference in August, this low morale alone is enough to make Jiashi fall apart.

I believe that Yin Jun also knows this, so his lion opened his mouth, it should be for sure.

It's not that Yin Jun is very greedy, no one will be stupid enough to give up their due rights under such conditions, in other words, everyone here is probably like this.

Considering such a complicated situation, Ling Xuhua, the manager of the public relations department, directly suggested that the screenwriting team should simply continue to write the script of "Bao Qingtian" directly and do it all by themselves, which would save a large part of the cost.

Before Liu Tianci could speak, Liang Shuyi first vetoed the proposal.

Are you kidding!

If Jiashi's screenwriting team has this ability, will they still be beaten like dogs by wireless and Li?

At this time, if you kick Yin Jun away, the continuation of "Bao Qingtian" is not bad, but what if it is messed up?

If you mess up, will you be able to win back the audience, and will you be able to get Yin Jun to come back and continue writing?

Jiashi can't go wrong at all now, otherwise no one can bear the consequences of failure.

Besides, no matter how high the price of the screenwriter's script is, how high can it be?

Now that the other cities are already actively contacting, according to the quality of "Bao Qingtian", to say the least, they will get a profit of 200,000 per episode, even if they give Yin Jun 1500 or 2000 an episode, how much does it account for the entire profit?

However, Liang Shuyi still agreed with Ling Xuhua's idea, and it was better to keep the cost as low as possible, so as not to make it difficult to clean up the situation in the future.

In order to achieve this goal, she sent the trio of Liu Tianci, Shi Shaoming and Xiao Sheng, who had the best relationship with Yin Jun, to collectively negotiate the price with Yin Jun today.

After all, the time is relatively tight, the crew needs to shoot finely, and it needs more time to polish, and the sooner you get the script, the sooner you can start work.

However, this morning, when they contacted the contact person of Singapore TV, and when they knew that Malaysia, Thailand, Indonesia and other countries were also interested in buying it, Liang Shuyi and they were a little uncalm.

As a result, the script fee of up to 2,000 episodes that was originally thought of was set by Liang Shuyi to a sky-high price of 3,000 episodes.

Of course, it's best if you don't reach it.
