Chapter 68: Screenwriter Contract (Please thank you all)
"Hello, do you have any advice?"
The visitor looked around and said, "It's not convenient to talk here. How about we find a place to sit."
"I'm sorry." Kei Fujiwara took the key and opened the door. "I have something to do later and I really don't have time."
Seeing Kei Fujiwara's refusal, the man had no choice but to make a long story short: "Teacher Sima...oh no, Teacher Fujiwara, I mainly want to invite you to join us on behalf of Fanxingtai. I hope you can be our screenwriter."
Kei Fujiwara looked at him and raised his eyebrows slightly: "You should know that I am just the author and have no experience in script writing."
"I know, but we believe that since you can create works like "White Night Walk" and also create moving scripts, we hope you can join us and we will not treat you badly in terms of treatment. And as far as I know
, you signed a short-term contract with Fukuyamadai, so I hope you will consider it carefully."
After that, he bowed again.
Kei Fujiwara stretched out his hand to help her slightly and said, "I know, I will call you if I have any intention."
After that, he opened the door and got in the car.
Within a few days, many people contacted Kei Fujiwara, most of whom were from production companies and the five major TV stations. Some offered invitations to film programs, while others offered to purchase the film and television adaptation rights of "White Night Walk" and commissioned script writing.
After receiving the Naoki Award, Kei Fujiwara seems to have a stronger trump card.
Kei Fujiwara now has a pile of personnel contact information in other TV stations and production companies. If he wants to change jobs, it will be a matter of seizing the day. But he still waited patiently for an extra day or two, hoping to get the job from Fukuyama TV
After all, Fukuyama Station has Mizuhara Yui and his familiar filming team. If the company changes, it will be very troublesome to open up the personnel relationship again.
After people from all parties came to find Kei Fujiwara, Fukuyama Station's response was not quick, but it was not too slow either. Finally, one morning, a staff member from the main station came to find Kei Fujiwara.
After meeting Kei Fujiwara, the staff member seemed very respectful. Although he looked a bit older than Kei Fujiwara, he didn't dare to put on the airs of a senior. After all, the person in front of him won the Naoki Prize just after leaving school, and he was able to compete with Kei Fujiwara.
He didn't dare to mess with the tough bargainers in the shop.
"Teacher Fujiwara, please come with me..."
I guess those old guys have already discussed it... Fujiwara Kei thought to himself, stood up and said, "Okay, but I have to ask the Owada Special Agent to wait a moment. I want to submit this plan to Miss Mizuhara first."
"Okay, but..." the visitor said, "The person who is looking for you is not Special Agent Owada, but Director Yoshida."
Fujiwara Kei narrowed his eyes, "Okay, I understand."
After handing over the project to Yui Mizuhara, Kei Fujiwara followed the staff member to the director's office. When he opened the door, he saw Yoshida Kashi sitting at his desk, writing and drawing.
"Director, Mr. Fujiwara is here," the man said.
Yoshida Kashi raised his head and glanced at Fujiwara Kei, smiled, pointed to the chair and said: "Sit down." Then he told his secretary: "Sakamoto-kun, please make a cup of tea."
Yoshida Kafumi is nearly sixty years old. Although he is not tall, he looks very strong. The forearms exposed from the sleeves look thick and strong, and the hair is very black and thick, giving people a feeling of vitality.
"Fujiwara-kun, good to see you." Yoshida Kaishi smiled and said, "I heard that you won the Naoki Prize. Congratulations."
"It's just luck."
"Luck is the modesty of the strong." Yoshida Heshi said, "Let me get straight to the point with you. I can give you a screenwriting contract like this, only signing the work, not the person. But it must be within the contract period, and no
Other TV stations or production companies create scripts."
"The copyright of the script belongs to you, but the copyright of the film and television works belongs to the TV station. Within three years after the TV series is first broadcast, your script cannot be adapted for secondary film and television. However, the adaptation into comics and other paper media products is not restricted."
"Your salary and performance bonus will be tripled, and the commission will be more than 1%. The higher the ratings, the greater the share. Due to different time periods, the audience base
The numbers are different, so the ratings indicators given to you are also different.”
"Take the spring Saturday night from 8 to 9 pm as an example. The audience base during this time period is good, so the standards given to you are relatively high. The 12% ratings during this time period are the basis. If you can get 12 to 15
For ratings between 15 and above, your share is 1.5%; if you can get more than 15, your share is 2%; above 17, it is 2.5; above 20, it is 3.5; above 25, it is 5; above 30..."
This is no longer possible. The average ratings he mentioned, if you can get more than 30, it is a historical level. However, out of rigor, Yoshida Kashi still said: "If you can get more than 30, I will give you 6...
No, I’ll give you 7%.”
"The income sharing includes advertising commissions and peripheral income. You will have a share of all the money earned by this TV series."
Yoshida Kashi closed the cap of his pen: "I don't like to bargain. This is the best condition I can give. I know that other TV stations should contact you during this time, but I believe that none of them will be better than this contract.
More free, richer..."
"You can think about it for a while, but I can't wait for you too long. I'll give it to you..."
"How long is the contract term?" Kei Fujiwara asked, "How long will I be unable to write scripts for other companies?"
"Five years."
"It's too long, two years."
Yoshida Kashi looked at Fujiwara Kei and thought for a moment: "Okay. How long do you need to think about it?"
Fujiwara Keido: "Don't think about it, you can let the legal department draw up the contract now. But I have to take the contract back to read it before signing it."
Yoshida Kaishi was stunned for a moment. He thought that after hearing his conditions, Kei Fujiwara would either go back and think about it for a long time, or go to other production companies to bargain and compare prices. He didn't expect that Kei Fujiwara would agree so simply.
He's really decisive, he has the temperament to do big things... Yoshida Kasumi thought to himself.
In fact, Kei Fujiwara almost understands the market, and the conditions Yoshida Kashi gave him are indeed very generous in the industry. Although if you take the conditions Yoshida Kashi gave and go to other TV stations to bargain, you may not be able to get a better contract.
, but the mentality of "Long Wangshu" is unacceptable, and after joining a new company, it is definitely not easy to cooperate with Yui Mizuhara and others.
Yoshida Kafumi asked his secretary to notify the legal department to collect the contract. During this period, he and Fujiwara Kei chatted over tea and asked about what happened at the New Joy Hotel on the day when the Naoki Award was presented.
Fujiwara Kei smiled and talked with Yoshida Kafumi until the Legal Department brought the already drafted contract into the office and handed it to Fujiwara Kei.
Yoshida Kashi stood up and stretched out his hand, "Teacher Fujiwara, I hope you can have a pleasant stay at Fukuyamadai."
"Definitely, thank you, Mr. Yoshida."
In the evening, after leaving Fukuyamadai, Kei Fujiwara sat in the car and dialed Itagaki Kazuhiko's number directly from the car phone.
"Fujiwara-kun, what's the matter?"
"It's like this... I have a contract, and I would like to ask you to help me find a lawyer who is well versed in copyright to review it for me."
"Well, okay, our company's legal affairs is very...copyright contract? What kind of contract? New work contract?"
"um, yes."
Itagaki Kazuhiko on the other end of the phone felt like he was struck by lightning: "Fujiwara-kun, what happened? Are you not planning to collaborate with me on your new work?"
