Chapter 835: Strange Dad and Strange Mom (31) Three in One(1/2)
Strange daddy and mom 31
"Serious Case Restart" is selling for good, because everyone is optimistic. But when it is released, the result is really not within Lin Yutong's expectations. The ratings on the first day exceeded one percent, the second day passed by two percent, the third day passed by four percent, and the fourth day passed by five percent. In the following days, they kept hovering between four percent and five percent.
"I asked, this is the TV series with the highest ratings since the first half of this year." Lin Bo's lips raised high, "My daughter is amazing, she is extraordinary when she takes action." The key is that public opinion and comments are also very good. The mainstream media said that this drama is a fast-paced, high-density plot, a rough documentary style. He aimed the camera at the police officers, and through them peeling bamboo shoots layer by layer, leading the audience to solve all kinds of cases, thus creating a just police image. He is very popular with the audience, so he is hailed as a "police idol drama" by netizens.
The company is also dealing with the broadcast rights of the second or even the third round. Because the results are indeed unexpected, the price of the second round has not dropped much, and it is still within one episode of one million. The income obtained invisibly is about 20 million more than originally thought.
With this money, Lin Yutong had the confidence. She sorted out the script she wrote and printed it out. She decided to find a few old professors to see how to modify it appropriately? But before she went out, the phone rang. It was director Zhang Wen, "What? Director Zhang is in a hurry to pay the bill." This time, the actors, directors, screenwriters, etc. were signed in the form of basic salary plus dividends. If the film could not be sold, it would be less. If it was sold, there would be some dividends. This is why the starring actor had 2,000 yuan in one episode, but he could get 800,000 yuan in the end. The director and screenwriter naturally made a fortune.
Zhang Wen laughed on the phone: "Mr. Kobayashi, come out for a cup of tea, I want to talk to you about some things."
Lin Yutong understood a little when she put the phone on it. When she rushed over, she asked straight to the point: "Do you want to shoot the second part?"
Zhang Wen poured a cup of tea and said, "We really have this idea. We are still the original cast, and we only change to some not very important personnel. The quality of the script and the shooting quality will definitely not be bad."
This is probably not what Zhang Wen meant by himself. The whole crew meant this way. After all, the leading actors here did not have the potential to become stars except for actors. Even if they had a play, they did not have many opportunities to star. Most of them were supporting roles, and they even had jobs in drama troupes, but their income was not stable. When they walked on the street, everyone could call out the names of the characters they created, but the audience could not remember their own names. There were actually many such actors. They had to act and act, and they had to be dedicated, but they did not have the potential to become stars. When they encountered such a movie that could be called a star and had a relatively good income, no one would want to let go easily.
Of course Lin Yutong has to invest, and it’s money to change the script. “I have to read the script first. If you make sure the quality is OK, then let it go.”
"Don't worry about this." Zhang Wen smiled, "Everyone knows it. The first part is outstanding, and the second part continues to be outstanding. Only then can you look forward to the third and fourth, right?"
Just have a number. After that, you may not have much attention to the crew, but what you want is quality.
The two said it was right. Lin Yutong didn't stay too long and went directly to the home of an old screenwriter. Mr. Yao was over 70 years old and has not published any scripts independently in recent years. Lin Bo also asked someone to check it out with a high salary. Lin Yutong brought some fruit when he went there. The old man was very polite, "I watched your two episodes earlier. Oh... I didn't expect that a girl as old as you could write that historical story. I felt a little touched. It can be seen that you not only used your heart, but also used your feelings."
Lin Yutong smiled, "This is the rest. I just finished writing it, I will show you." After spending a year of spare time, I wrote it and changed it, and finally finished the draft.
Mr. Yao took it and put on reading glasses, "That's it, if you can trust me, I'll put it here. After I finish reading it, I'll contact you."
"No problem." Lin Yutong responded quickly. The old man is old and different from a young man. It would be good if he could stick to his favorites for four or five hours a day. In addition, when she revised, she didn't think that it would end before the summer vacation. Just as she was about to get up and say goodbye, the old man pressed his hand down again, "Girl, I'll show you something too."
When the old man took out a handwritten script from the drawer tremblingly, Lin Yutong was shocked, "This... how long will it take to complete it. After the correction is made, I will wait for the copy."
"I can't use that computer." The old man pointed to the notebook on the side, "It's okay to use it online to read news. But I'm really not used to writing with these words. When I sit in front of the computer, my mind suddenly becomes blank. It's better to write with a pen!"
It is not only written with a pen, but also with a fountain pen. Nowadays, there are very few people using a fountain pen.
Lin Yutong carefully opened it and saw it for two hours. It was not until the nanny came to pour tea that she woke her up.
"How is it?" Old Yao raised his head, took off his glasses, and asked Lin Yutong.
"Okay!" Lin Yutong was a little excited, "It's really good."
"What's the good thing?" Mr. Yao asked again.
Lin Yutong gently closed the script, "The Food Doctor" is completely different from the ones like the God of Food films that were filmed before. Now many films on the screen use fantasy and exaggerated techniques to create an amazing dish. But your... can be said to be epic. What you are talking about is a real food culture. Every dish and every allusion is inheritance." It also includes etiquette and even clothing, which is absolutely positive for the inheritance and spread of culture.
Mr. Yao then smiled, "Is it so good?"
Lin Yutong nodded. She must be either the kind of fried rice with a bowl of eggs or the level of the God of Food. After only looking at the previous part, she has basically determined the value of this script.
"It took me six years to complete it." Old Yao pointed to the half-room book, "A lot of things have to be found in historical materials, so I want to find a good owner for it..."
Lin Yutong was stunned, "Me?" She was not sure, "Why me?" She was not at all advantage in age.
Mr. Yao laughed and said yes, he opened the notebook and clicked on a program, "Look at this, are you?"
It was the New Year’s Eve dinner program that Zhou Xiao filmed before the Chinese New Year.
"You are not old, but this snack is definitely not the palace pastry sold outside. The one you make is the most authentic." Mr. Yao smiled, "When I was young, I really met an old imperial chef and saw him cook. It was like this. Even if I didn't taste it, I knew that this is what I wanted. How about it? Do you dare to make it?"
Lin Yutong put his hand on the script: "Dare! I promise to make the most authentic thing for you." Don't exaggerate acting skills, don't fabricate them to show your height, just to truly infiltrate our inheritance of etiquette, service, catering, etc. It is the most moving thing in itself.
"Then take it." Mr. Yao had no other request, "I won't leave you for dinner."
When he returned home with this thing in his arms, Lin Yutong was afraid that the original manuscript would be dirty or lost accidentally, so he quickly asked Gao Han to help him copy it and put it away properly. After Lin Bo came back, Lin Yutong showed it to him, "The company's legal department also needs to sign the contract. In addition, I hope to give 20% of the total income to the old man."
Twenty percent? This number is quite considerable.
But Lin Bo nodded, "It should be." It took six years and I have to admire the old man's perseverance. "However, this investment is quite large."
Lin Yutong shook her head, "No! I have watched two or three episodes, and I have estimated that for the sixty episodes, I will keep the cost to 60 million."
After doing this, it is actually not as large as the investment in Supreme Jianghu that Director Chen photographed now. Supreme Jianghu’s budget is 120 million yuan. This is only half the investment.
Lin Yutong looked at Zhu Zhu again, "Mom, are you interested in getting involved? No money, just invest in clothing, how about 5% of you?"
Zhu Zhu snorted and laughed, "It's a good plan."
Lin Bo glared at her, "Don't think your daughter is cheap. If she shoots it according to her ideas, if the clothing is not done well, it will become a peripheral product. Qihuang may not have a new growth point in performance."
so good?
It's really that good! Lin Yutong was at home for a week before she finished reading the script. In fact, there is nothing else used in it except the clothing accessories that are big. If you don't want to use ready-made buildings in the film and television base, you can ask someone to build it. It doesn't need those bright things, as long as it is close to the reality, it costs only hundreds of thousands, and one million is considered the most. Then there are props. The props for this film are actually ancient kitchen utensils and ingredients. The things in the kitchen really cost little, and the rest are ingredients. To be honest, eating is really not expensive. Apart from these expenses, the rest are actors. As for actors, Lin Yutong still doesn't want to use big stars. As long as she passes the acting skills, the others are really not a problem. You can find some familiar old actors.
After careful calculation, I felt that 60 million was more than enough.
I calculated the money I had, and this time I transferred a little more than 70 million, but there was more than 10 million from Jiang Qiao. I only had more than 60 million, but there were 20 million left for the second part of the case to restart the second part. There were more than 40 million left, which was in my own separate account. If I didn’t move the private house in my hand, the money would not be enough. It seemed that I had to apply for another part of the funds from the company.
Just as he was thinking about it, Jiang Qiao called again, "Don't leave me if you have money, I will continue to invest with you." This little girl has good fortune and it's very worry-free to make money after following her.
"Okay." Lin Yutong actually felt that her family could eat it completely.
Having a clear idea in her heart, she flew to Jiangcheng overnight and went to Hengdian to meet Director Chen. Director Chen has been committed to the big screen and has not filmed TV series for many years. But Lin Yutong still wants to try it.
"...Sixty million?" Director Chen frowned, "It's just this little investment. Why don't I participate in one."
The director's expenses are originally part of the cost. Lin Yutong hopes to change the model, "If you can invest with technology, then it will be better." The implication is that you don't need your money, but you will be able to shoot it. If you sell it well, you will make a lot of money. If you can't sell it, I'm sorry, I will lose it and you won't have money to take it.
Ask the name leader to take action, and he still has such an attitude? Director Chen smiled again, "How much can you give me?"
"20% of the screenwriter, 20% of you, and the entire crew, including the actors, divided into 20% of the total." Lin Yutong calculated, "The remaining 40% are our investors."
This ratio is quite tempting, "How much profit do you expect to be."
Lin Yutong stretched out a slap.
Five times the profit?
"That's only three hundred million?" Director Chen took a breath. Two hundred percent of the 300 million is 60 million. This amount is really not small. He is not an indecisive person. "Yes! Let's decide, after the filming is completed here, you can start. To be honest, this is a good topic. Not to mention 20 percent, I will do it even if I give it half a percent!"
You said it a long time ago! He was cunning and the money was right, and he became pretentious now.
From Hengdian to Jiangcheng, Lin Yutong wanted to put aside Gao Han and Han Xin and wanted to use this excuse to stay at the Fourth Master for a few days. But these two people are really good, and they are always in a row.
When he came back from Jiangcheng, he saw Zhu Guangbin at home.
"I won't go with the crew?" Lin Yutong took a shower, changed her clothes, and asked Zhu Guangbin, who was hanging in the sand to play games.
Zhu Guangbin called out a few times, "I'm dead, I'm dead," and then put down his phone, "I'm looking for you for something serious."
"Say!" Lin Yutong drank half a bottle of water and waited for him to speak.
Zhu Guangbin asked in a low voice: "We plan to shoot an online drama ourselves, what do you think?"
"Tell me to invest money?" Lin Yutong shook her head like a rattle, "It's okay to ask you to be an assistant director, so what kind of online dramas should be calculated." The quality is really not high-end.
"I didn't ask you to invest money, I just asked you about the market, I'm stingy." Zhu Guangbin took the water from the coffee table, "A few guys are from the same school, with screenwriters, directors, and even the actors are ready-made. The filming is also about youth campus themes, and even the venues and props are ready-made. What is spent is our own energy. Even if we have to spend some money, these guys can afford it. Didn't Eime.com be acquired by my uncle? Some internal news leaked."
"I'll give you an idea. You can get your scripts and other things out, and then go to my dad. Maybe he really invests in you." Lin Yutong did the calculations, "Online self-produced dramas are actually much more cost-effective than buying other people's broadcast rights. Nowadays, popular TV series, one of which costs 100 million or 200 million, makes more money than expected. It's not as good as self-produced dramas, but he can be an investor, but Haina is unwilling to label it. You know, Haina will not make any good products in the future."
It sounds like this is a way.
Zhu Guangbin did not continue this topic, but instead asked about the filming of the second part of the serious case. "...... Huang Yiran called me two days ago and said that the crew did not notify her."
"You are entrusting?" Lin Yutong laughed, "She is like that, you are still infatuated."
"No!" Zhu Guangbin shook his head quickly, "Don't get me wrong! I just asked casually, did you break up with Caifeng?"
Why do you think so?
Lin Yutong patted Zhu Guangbin on the shoulder, "You'd better take a look first and learn to speak. If you're in a hurry to slap, you'll have to drown sooner or later."
After not staying at home for a few days, Ms. Su Yuan called out, "Go away from the heat. How hot."
It’s cool outside the city? It’s so hot that I can’t help but turn on the air conditioner at home.
But the old man called out, and Lin Yutong had to follow him. It was in the villa where they had been to last year.
Lin Boqu was happy that Lin Yutong successfully made a good-looking film. Retired cadres said that there was also this political tone, "...the image of our grassroots police officers is well shaped..."
Lin Yutong just laughed, the grassroots police officers are not that tall.
I live in the mountains, but it is not cool at noon, just cooler in the morning and evening, so I can go out for a walk. I woke up that morning and was about to go out for a run, but as soon as I went out, I saw two people sitting by the stone table in the yard, and the Fourth Master accompanied Lin Boqu to play chess.
Why did you come here?
Lin Yutong was about to ask, but Lin Boqu turned around and smiled, "Tongtong, come and see Jiang Feng. By the way, you should know each other."
"Meet." The Fourth Master smiled at Lin Yutong.
Big tail wolf.
Lin Yutong found it funny. Before she could speak, Lin Boqu said: "I didn't praise my granddaughter. It's really rare to compare with him. He can interfere in his father's company affairs, and the family is also the top leader."
I know this more clearly than you.
"Stay for breakfast, our Tongtong has good skills." Lin Boqu signaled to Lin Yutong, "Go to cook, there are distinguished guests at home."
The fourth guest put down the chess piece in his hand, "Then you'll be troublesome."
Haha! No trouble. The young man is very capable. When will he start fooling the old man? Look at this, I wish I could sell myself to him.
After dinner, Ms. Su Yuan was going to go swimming and called Lin Boqu with her. Lin Yutong had no time to get into the water these days, so Su Yuan didn't ask her to go. However, Mr. Lin assigned her, "Xiao Jiang is not familiar with this area, so you can take her around here."
To be continued...
