Chapter 589 Choose one from three
Yao Ding is also difficult. If he asks for a lower price, who knows whether Lin Xiao will be satisfied?

And anyway, it was Tianhua Films' money. If he lost, he would have to leave, but if he won, his sky-high price for the script would become the wisest decision.

So Yao Ding directly offered a copy, which can be called the highest screenwriting fee in Huaguo. Even Lin Xiao couldn't help but marvel at Yao Ding's hard work this time.

2000 million Chinese dollars, although this price is definitely considered high in China, it is not enough to surprise Lin Xiao.

The key is the 10% box office share, which surprised Lin Xiao a little.

You must know that this is a box office share, not a profit share.

It is conceivable that Yao Ding paid such a price because he definitely paid more attention to data than profit.

Maybe some Hollywood big shots abroad can get 2+1 contracts, but in China, this kind of salary, and it's still a screenwriter's fee, it's scary.

It is not an exaggeration to call it the first day price.

Of course, Yao Ding's unexpected price also posed a problem for Lin Xiao.

People offered such a high price, and it was only the screenwriter, not the director or actors, so the script must not be bad, otherwise, it would be Lin Xiao who smashed his own brand.

"Mr. Yao, you have created a problem for me." Lin Xiao looked at Yao Ding and said with a smile.

"How could it be a problem? I think your script is worth the price!" Yao Ding was quite proud of his decision.

Although it is said that if this price is announced, he will definitely be questioned countless times, but he can't care less about it.

If there is no further achievement, Tianhua Films will not have much relationship with him, and the money, 2000 million is not much, more is the latter 10%, but this 10% is based on the box office .

Moreover, Yao Ding felt that Lin Xiao would definitely not let this sky-high price script become an existence that smashed his brand, so he would definitely come up with a script that was worth the price.

Lin Xiao thought for a while, then took out the three prepared scripts and put them in front of Yao Ding, and said with a smile: "Since Mr. Yao is so sincere, then reciprocate. I have three scripts here, and Mr. Yao can choose one of them." .”

Yao Ding was a little confused at this moment, damn, what's the matter?Three scripts?

And let yourself choose one of them?This shows what?Explained, what I thought was a sky-high script fee, but here, Lin Xiao, there are 3 scripts that he thinks are worth the price he offered?

Although Yao Ding was suspicious, he still picked up the first script.

For the first script, although Yao Ding is not a professional, it means that he is not proficient in making movies, which does not mean that he has a bad eye.

Soon Yao Ding was immersed in the script.

After reading the story of the first script, Yao Ding couldn't help but sigh in his heart.

This first script is a script of a costume movie in Huaguo, but it is very different from many costume movies nowadays. The creativity is enough, but Yao Ding is a little worried that the performance of such a movie in the market will be poor. how is it

After all, such scripts, or movies with costume themes, have really not had any outstanding performances in the past few years in Huaguo, so he was a little entangled.

The script and story are indeed very good, but if there is no good story, it will definitely be a hit, especially with this kind of subject matter.

It doesn't seem to be that popular in the current movie market.

Yao Ding estimated the cost of this script, the cost will not be too high, but it will definitely not be low, especially some scenes described in it, if you want to do it well, it is also a money-burning thing, but he is very happy about it. He didn't have too many worries, but he was a little worried about the box office ceiling of this type of film.

What he needs most now is not profit, but data, a good-looking data, and although the first script in his hand is not bad, but at this time, it is definitely not his best choice.

After putting down the first script, Yao Ding picked up the second script.

The title of this second script caught Yao Ding's eyes, it's a very impressive title.

Yao Ding began to watch it. This is a movie that has been going on for decades. The story is actually not complicated, but it is also very attractive.

Moreover, there are very few such movies on the market at present. Although there is no similar reference, this in itself is a huge gimmick.

The balance in Yao Ding's heart has begun to tilt towards this second script.

However, there is a third.

He still picked it up patiently, but soon Yao Ding's expression became tangled.

It's not that the third script is bad, but that the third script, obviously, the location where the story takes place, and the characters all indicate that this script will be a co-production.

The first two scripts are aimed at the domestic market, while the last script is aimed at the global market.

But this is also what confuses Yao Ding the most.

The three scripts were all very good. If there were only the first two scripts, he would undoubtedly choose the second script, but with the third script, he began to struggle.

Because so far, strictly speaking, none of the Sino-US co-productions has been successful.

And after experiencing a defeat that was enough to hurt Tianhua's muscles and bones, Tianhua suddenly started this kind of co-production project again, he really lacked confidence.

But this script is completely different from the scripts of previous co-productions, because in this script, it can be said that there are two protagonists, and in the character design described by Lin Xiao, it is obvious that there is a Chinese star and a foreigner. star together.

The roles between the two can be said to be equal, and it is best to have a peak showdown between Chinese and foreign film king-level stars.

This is the biggest difference from previous co-productions. In previous co-productions, it was often difficult to balance the focus of the characters. In fact, Huaguo audiences hate those most. Find a Huaguo star and make a guest appearance in it. One, and then hype that the other party is the leading role or something.

What about co-productions?In many cases, the difficulty lies in the balance of the plot.

If the role is too biased towards foreign stars, domestic audiences will definitely have opinions, but if it is too biased toward domestic stars, then it will be somewhat uncomfortable with the overseas market.

But in Lin Xiao's script, this problem is solved very well.

However, the problem now is not here, but rather, Yao Ding is not sure how to convince the board of directors.

Because if you choose this third film, then the investment is definitely not a small amount, and he just failed once before, so it is hard to give people confidence.

The three scripts that Lin Xiao took out are all worth the price in Lin Xiao's opinion. Of course, this refers to the script itself. As for the effect of the shooting, it depends on the skill of the director and the amount of investment.
