Rebirth Begins with a Manga Adaptation

"Teacher Jing Yu, you actually don't want to sign a contract with the Big Six." Cheng Lie looked directly at Jing Yu.

"Why, say that?" Jing Yu narrowed his eyes slightly.

"Because it's the second time I've seen someone like you. You and Zhong Ming are similar in some key details."

"Five years ago, Zhong Ming, the talented screenwriter who led our Yunteng TV station to almost hit the 10% ratings mark, had also received invitations from the top six before joining our Yunteng TV station, but in the end he still came to our Yunteng TV station. Teng" Cheng Lie changed the subject and started talking about other things.

"I once asked him, why didn't he go to the Sixth National University? Then he said to me, "He is greedy. Only he knows his talent. What he needs is a chance to rise, not to spend his most precious time for this opportunity. Sold to Big Six. ""

"Five-year contract time may not make much sense for ordinary people, but for you, Mr. Jing Yu, who brought Jinhui TV Station to where it is today in just one year... the conditions offered by the Sixth University , Mr. Jing Yu must feel that it is an insult to the price, right, I am sorry for your five years. The delay in signing the contract is because I feel that it is too bad to be bound for five years after signing the contract, but I can’t find a better place to go if I don’t sign the contract . That’s what I thought, that’s why I came to visit today.”

"You think too much of me. I'm just an ordinary screenwriter in the film and television drama industry." Jing Yu said with a smile.

"Well, it doesn't matter whether my vision is right or not, what matters is the conditions offered by our station." Cheng Lie put a document in front of Jing Yu.

Jing Yu picked it up and took a look. His expression was strange.

this.

This is, the betting contract.

Unlike the five companies from the Sixth University that offered him an olive branch, those five companies all offered the normal signing conditions given by the screenwriters of their own stations based on the results obtained in White Album 2.

However, in Yunteng's contract, he explained to Jing Yu that the contract is signed once a year, and Jing Yu's income will be settled according to the final ratings of Jing Yu's dramas according to the grades.

The screenwriter's fee alone will increase from 4% to 20% of the investment based on the ratings achieved by the show, and the copyright dividends can get up to 12% or more, but the premise is that the ratings must be at least 10%. There is such a maximum salary only if it is above 6%.

Moreover, as long as Jing Yu agrees to join and the script passes the review, the investment for the first drama should not be less than 35 million, and...

The absolute prime time broadcast in Taiwan! Jing Yu has a considerable degree of autonomy in the selection of actors and directors.

"You guys..." Jing Yu was a little dumbfounded.

The investment of tens of millions in the TV station is real money, but the screenwriters put in a little mental work. As long as the grades are good, they can finally enjoy such a high percentage of income. this

"Well, Taili believes that people with great potential will have this kind of contract option. Most of them are actually on regular contracts." Cheng Lie said with a smile.

"At the beginning, Zhong Ming was also attracted to Yunteng by this similar contract."

"You guys, aren't you worried that others will run away after your TV station becomes famous?" Jing Yu asked the doubts in his heart.

"Heh, if we can produce dramas with ratings of over 6% on our Yunteng TV station, we will have the various exaggerated remuneration income above. Otherwise, if the results are mediocre, it will be the same. Maybe it is lower than the regular contract income, but on the contrary. Come and say, if such a talent is not given such a condition, will he come to our Yunteng?" Cheng Lie asked back.

"Where is the chicken or the egg first, or how to make it lay more eggs and hatch more chickens after the chicken, what to think about those things? If you can't find a chicken that can lay eggs, think about raising chickens Whether you will fly away on your own when you grow up is putting the cart before the horse. Always thinking about long-term benefits, but in the end you can't even get short-term benefits, that is also a kind of stupidity."

"That's why Zhong Ming left Yunteng after becoming famous five years ago."

"Well, but this cooperation is beneficial to both parties. At least Yunteng has harvested a drama that almost broke 10% ratings, and he became famous in one fell swoop. No one loses, but neither party maximizes the benefits. It's just a pity that Zhong Ming is so young." A trace of regret flashed in Cheng Lie's eyes.

Jing Yu searched his memory and knew what he was regretting.

After Zhong Ming left Yunteng, he started his own business to set up a film and television drama company, but he suddenly became seriously ill and died young.

"Mr. Jing Yu, please believe us, Yunteng may indeed not be as good as the top six right now, and even lost to your White Album 2 for the main show in the fall. It is difficult to break the ratings of 1%, but you can raise Jinhui’s record to 3%. If the dramas broadcast by Yunteng are written by ordinary screenwriters, the ratings will be around 2.5%, and occasionally exceed 3%. Zhong Minglai is the screenwriter, but the ratings can reach 9.9%, everything is possible. And if you join our Yunteng, no one can say whether the ratings in the station will triple compared to before." Cheng Lie said with a smile.

He doesn't think Jing Yu can compare with Zhong Ming, but he is better than those screenwriters in Yunteng TV station, that's for sure. The dramas broadcast by them in Jinhui all have higher ratings than those produced by those screenwriters, which already shows that this fact.

"I..." Jing Yu still wanted to refuse.

After all, although Yunteng has demonstrated the strong potential of this TV station in the past, it does have the strength to impact the ratings of the top film and television dramas in Dazhou.

But the difficulty is definitely more difficult than at the Sixth National University.

"Mr. Jingyu, you have to know that you are a rare talent in Yunteng, but you are just a newcomer who debuted for a year at the Sixth University. Some of the Sixth University have famous screenwriters who have cooperated with them all the year round, and there are serious factional struggles in the station. There are endless cases of outstanding talents being buried for no reason. There are many talented screenwriters who obviously produced a drama, and the ratings exceeded expectations. However, due to insufficient background connections, there was no next one during the contract period of the next few years. Opportunities for drama production."

"And even if those things didn't happen, would Xingtong and Didu TV's late-night and daytime schedules really be better than my Yunteng's prime time slots? Do they really value you by giving you such conditions? "Cheng Lie looked at Jing Yu.

To put it bluntly, Jing Yu does have the potential to become a top screenwriter, but it is only potential. People of that level have long-term cooperation partners. It is certainly a good thing to cultivate another such talent, but For the Big Six, it may not be so urgent. Jing Yu used to be in the Sixth National University, so people might not pay much attention to him, but Yun Teng is different, even if it is just a person with such potential, Yun Teng will also attach great importance to him.

Jing Yu was silent.

Although Cheng Lie was belittling his opponent, what he said was all reasonable.

"Let me think about it." Jing Yu sighed.

Although he knew that Cheng Lie was deliberately scaremongering, but he did successfully provoke Jing Yu's difficulty in choosing.

"Then I will wait for the good news. I hope Teacher Jing Yu can give me an answer within a month. After all, it is already November. If Teacher Jing Yu has any ideas about next spring, whether it is to come to our Yunteng or other ideas To recruit your TV station, you'd better confirm it within this month, and then pass the script review in early December, and let the station allocate money to set up a crew, so that you can catch up with the spring schedule in January next year." Cheng Lie said politely .

He stood up, his muscular body gave Jing Yu a strong sense of oppression.

Until the evening, Jing Yu kept thinking about the choices of these TV stations.

Although he has many conveniences of a traverser, as well as a hundred treasures like the exchange panel.

But Jing Yu didn’t think he could be blind. Indeed, as Cheng Lie said, Xingtong and other TV stations are big enough and good enough, but they also have many talents. Jing Yu is not afraid to compare the quality of scripts with others. After all, Jing Yu is not A man is fighting.

But Jing Yu was afraid of going to those TV stations, where other competitors would compare his qualifications, background, and relationship with him.

Then you are stupid, and this is not a small probability event, the bigger the place, the more serious this situation is.

If you are talented and capable, you will be able to succeed. How can there be so many idiots in human history?

Therefore, compared to choosing those TV stations whose platforms are big enough and good enough, but they cannot largely control their own career development, those TV stations that attach great importance to themselves from the beginning may be weaker in strength, but it is risky for Jingyu. But also much lower.

So, there are two choices!

Yunteng, and Orange Sea.

Only these two TV stations specially sent people to talk to Jing Yu in person.

You can see the difference in attitude.

How to choose?

In fact, rationality tells Jing Yu that he should go to Chenghai, but his sensibility makes Jing Yu never forget Yun Teng.

But after a few hours, Jing Yu still made a decision.

Orange Sea's five-year contract period is indeed too long, if the other party is willing to change to a three-year contract period, then go to Orange Sea.

Play it safe, Chenghai and Yunteng might be pitfalls, but after all, Chenghai is much stronger than Yunteng now, Jing Yu still tends to believe in data and reason.

No matter how loud Cheng Lie was, it was just him talking. It is also impossible for Jing Yu to know the real Yunteng through the information searched on the Internet.

But even if it is a pitfall, three years will not affect Jingyu too much, and it is only two years longer than Yunteng's one-year contract. .

But to convey my condition, I should also send the script of the film and television drama that I plan to shoot over there.

The script is the foundation and the embodiment of Jing Yu's value, otherwise the other party would not have seen anything, and there must be no place for me to raise these conditions with the other party.

So what Jing Yu still needs to consider now is to write out the first two episodes of the new drama, who is the copyright owner on the record, and then send it to the contact person in the production department of Orange Sea TV Headquarters for review.

"So, which one will be filmed in the new drama?" Jing Yu was caught in another choice.
