The diva and I cross each other

Chapter 192 Lin Shuwen’s Negotiations

When Director Liu heard that Lin Shuwen said she had a script in her hand, she immediately became excited: "Script? What script? A movie or a TV series?"

"It's from a movie. I've brought you the plot summary." As Lin Shuwen stretched out her hand, Chen Sichu immediately took out a folder from his bag and handed it to Lin Shuwen.

Lin Shuwen took the folder and handed it to Director Liu.

Director Liu eagerly took the folder and opened it.

A few minutes later, Director Liu put down the folder and said: "Wenwen, I'm a little unsure about this script. To be honest, as of now, the only thing that can be called a gimmick in this script is rebirth.

However, the subject of rebirth is not uncommon recently. Let alone online literature, I have also seen many similar literary works in reality. "

"Director Liu, rebirth is only one of the selling points of this script. The complete script will definitely not disappoint you."

Director Liu was silent for a moment and then said: "What about investment? How much investment does this script cost?"

"2000."

"Is it 2000 million? The budget is quite sufficient. If I shoot, what percentage of the shares can be given to me?"

Lin Shuwen refused without thinking: "As you know, Director Liu, this share ratio is too outrageous, and it is impossible for the other side to agree to it."

"This 2000 million investment includes some of my money."

"It's a project for my friend's new entertainment company."

"New company? Brand new?"

"200 million + 5% box office share."

Knowing that Lin Shuwen also participated in this investment, Director Liu hesitated for more than ten seconds and said: "Wenwen, let's do this! 300 million + 2% box office share, this is my bottom line."

Lin Shuwen didn't care about this and asked with a smile: "Director Liu, how much do you want for filming and production?"

"What about the cast? Who does your company plan to cast?" Director Liu asked.

Director Liu was stunned when he heard this: "It's not from your company? Which company is it from?"

The box office share mentioned by Director Liu here does not exclude the theater share. If the final box office of "Charlotte Trouble" is 1 million, 5% will be directly allocated to Director Liu, which is 500.

"Director Liu's film is not from our company."

Lin Shuwen immediately understood that Director Liu felt that this movie would not make money and wanted to make a profit in the safest way.

Director Liu will tell you that this script has been spotted by a professor from the Imperial Repertory Theater. This professor is from Beijing Film Academy, and one of his students also wants to make this film.

Director Liu suddenly realized.

"Yes, it's the start-up company you're thinking of."

"What do you mean by sharing a piece of the pie?" Director Liu asked, stunned.

"I can't make the decision on this. Director Liu needs to talk to the other side himself."

Director Liu was silent again. After a while, Director Liu said: "Wenwen, I can make this movie, but I don't really want to invest in it."

It's just that they don't really want to sell the script. It just so happens that my sister helped register the copyright for this script. I was wondering if I could get a piece of the pie, so I came to see you, Director Liu. "

Lin Shuwen shook her head and said half-truthfully: "I know Director Liu's temper. They won't talk to you if you propose this share ratio, and they will go to other directors directly.

"I'm just making a request, Wenwen, can you ask for a counter-offer?" Director Liu said with a smile.

300 million is nothing. The problem is that 2% of the box office share is not much, so Lin Shuwen did not agree immediately.

"Director Liu, I need to discuss it with the other side. Director Liu, you can also verify whether what I said is true or false. My sister's name is Lin Shuyue and she works at CCTV."

Director Liu nodded to show that he understood.

After talking about business, Lin Shuwen and Chen Sichu didn't stay long and stood up to leave.

Back in his car, Chen Sichu asked curiously: "Sister Wen, the price offered by Director Liu should not be high, right? I remember that our company's share ratio is similar to the price offered by Director Liu."

"Can a company be the same as a private studio like Director Liu? The company's share to its own director is definitely higher. In Director Liu's case, without any investment, a 1% box office share is considered good."

Chen Sichu nodded and said nothing more.

Lin Shuwen told Luo Ming the result of the conversation with Director Liu.

Luo Ming thought for a while and then said: "Wait a minute! If he doesn't let go, we will try to contact a new director. If there is really no suitable one, we will talk."

"Okay! Then just do as you say!"

On the other hand, after Director Liu sent Lin Shuwen and Chen Sichu away, he immediately started asking someone to investigate the situation of the script.

Director Liu is considered a well-known figure among TV drama directors. The first film was not bad. The box office profit was 4 million, which can be regarded as a successful transformation.

Therefore, Director Liu's face was quite useful, and soon Director Liu found out something.

As Lin Shuwen said, the relevant copyright of this script was indeed registered by her sister Lin Shuyue. At the same time, Lin Shuyue also met some old actors from the Imperial Repertory Theater the day before yesterday, and made a special trip to the Imperial Repertory Theater yesterday morning.

It can be seen that Lin Shuwen probably did not lie to him.

Since what Lin Shuwen said was true, Director Liu was a little confused. Lin Shuwen did him a favor when he was in the last movie, so he owed her a favor.

Logically speaking, if he helps with the filming this time and asks for a little less money, he can repay the favor.

But the problem is that Director Liu is reluctant to give up too many benefits in order to repay this favor.

"Wait a minute! A role in this movie seems to be suitable for her," Director Liu murmured to himself.

Lin Shuwen came out of Director Liu's studio and went directly to the band that accompanied "Ruishi" last time.

Lin Shuyue had already helped to say hello. All Lin Shuwen needed to do was to coordinate the time between the two parties.

When Lin Shuwen and Chen Sichu came to the orchestra, they happened to catch up with the end of a concert.

"Ms. Lin, wait for me a moment. I'll change clothes and let's talk in the coffee shop next to you!" Guo Ningyuan, the conductor of the orchestra, said.

Lin Shuwen nodded and went to the coffee shop with Chen Sichu first. A few minutes later, Guo Ningyuan also came to the coffee shop after changing clothes.

This coffee shop has a second floor, and there are small private rooms on the second floor, so the privacy is okay.

However, there is a minimum consumption in the private room. A cup of coffee for three people is not enough for the minimum consumption. Lin Shuwen reluctantly ordered two sweets.

It's not that Lin Shuwen was reluctant to treat Guo Ningyuan to a sweet. The main reason was that she couldn't take a bite of these sweets. During this period, her weight had finally stabilized below 100 pounds. It was a sin to eat such a high-calorie sweet.

Chen Sichu's eyes lit up when he saw the sweets, and he ate them as if no one else was watching.

"Chu Chu, you damn girl eats so deliciously, don't you know I can't eat it? You deserve to die!"

"Ahem! Miss Lin, you came to me to talk about orchestra accompaniment, right?" Guo Ningyuan saw that Lin Shuwen didn't speak for a long time. Instead, she kept staring at her assistant and asked proactively.

Lin Shuwen smiled awkwardly when she heard this and said quickly: "Well, that's why I came here. Mr. Guo and my sister should have told you something about the situation. Let me explain it to you again! The specifics are like this."

After listening to Lin Shuwen's words, Guo Ningyuan asked: "Ms. Lin, how many musical accompaniments do you need?"

"According to my plan, there will be more than six first violins, more than six second violins, three violas, three cellos, and two double basses."

Lin Shuwen told Guo Ningyuan all the requirements listed by Luo Ming.

"Ms. Lin, your configuration requirement is almost one-third of the number of people in our orchestra. I'm afraid I can't make it up, because we will have concerts every day from 1 to 5 next week, and we will allocate one-third of the orchestra. I’m afraid our concerts won’t be able to be held as regular band members.”

"Mr. Guo, can you help me think of a solution?"

"There are not many ways. The one-third I just mentioned refers to the official musicians of the orchestra. If they are interns and substitutes, it is still possible to allocate the number of people you need."

"Internships and substitute musicians? Is their professional level okay?" Lin Shuwen asked.

"Ms. Lin can rest assured that there is no problem with the professionalism of our band's interns and substitute musicians, and I will also dispatch regular musicians to go with them when the time comes."

"What about the conductor?"

"I will take command personally."

Lin Shuwen breathed a sigh of relief after hearing this. Guo Ningyuan, the commander, should have no problem now.

She nodded and said, "Then I'll trouble Mr. Guo."

"Miss Lin, you don't have to be so polite. Your sister and I are friends, so it's okay to help you with this little favor. Besides, this is also to generate income for the orchestra! Miss Lin, here are the details of the expenses for our orchestra's outing to perform. You can take a look at it. .”

"You don't have to watch it. Mr. Guo, just ask for the price. The program team has plenty of money."

Guo Ningyuan was stunned for a moment and then smiled: "I understand, then I wish us a happy cooperation." Guo Ningyuan picked up the coffee.

Lin Shuwen picked up the coffee cup, touched it with Guo Ningyuan and said with a smile: "It's a pleasure to cooperate."

"Ms. Lin, when will you send me the score?" Guo Ningyuan asked after taking a sip of coffee.

"You won't have any rest tomorrow or Sunday, right?" Lin Shuwen asked.

"We will have a rest tomorrow if there is no concert, but I will call the musicians who will participate in this performance task in advance. Miss Lin can come to "review" tomorrow. If you are not satisfied, just raise it so that I can make a replacement. .”

"Okay! Then I'll bring the music scores over tomorrow morning."

Guo Ningyuan nodded to show that he understood.

After the business talk, Guo Ningyuan didn't stay long. He had a concert in the afternoon and had to go back quickly to prepare.

As soon as Guo Ningyuan left, Chen Sichu completely let himself go, almost picking up the plate of sweets.

Lin Shuwen swallowed her saliva when she saw that Chen Sichu was eating so deliciously.

"It should be okay to just eat a small piece, right?" Thinking of this, Lin Shuwen stretched out her hand towards the small chocolate cake on the plate.

Then Lin Shuwen, who said she only ate a small piece, stopped after eating 5 pieces.

It is worth mentioning that there are only 6 small cakes in the plate.
