Who are you calling powerful?

Before "You Who Came from the Star" and "Beauty's Scheming" were broadcast, Wei Yang and Si Yatou's status and experience in the field of screenwriting were actually not much different.

Dead Girl made her debut earlier and has more works. Although Wei Yang has a shallow background, his works have achieved good results and have a good reputation.

Not to mention that both of them are relatively well-known young screenwriters in the industry, and they both come from the acting department of Shanghai Opera, so they will naturally be compared together.

There is one thing to say, although the dead girl has a lot of troubles, she still has a level of screenwriting, otherwise it is impossible to make money all the time,

In terms of themes and techniques, Dead Girl was better at mixing historical themes with love elements in the early days. The plot is relatively less bloody than later, with delicate techniques and a bit majestic.

Douban scores are generally above 6 points, and some reach 7 points, which is rare in the future.

But starting from "Palace", the level of this guy has fluctuated. Except for a few dramas, the works are basically below 6 points, and there are also a few of 3-5 points, which have become the representatives of bad blood dramas.

But having said that, some of Dead Girl's works have a bad reputation, but the ratings and performances of all parties are indeed not bad. It can only be said that they have indeed caught the attention of many viewers.

In contrast, since Wei Yang's debut, apart from "Interpol", he has basically focused on campus youth and urban idols.

The plot style is refreshing and not greasy, the rhythm is smooth and smooth, and there are very few vulgar plots, which is also the main reason for the high reputation of his works.

Moreover, Wei Yang is good at matching CP, most of his works are extremely popular and discussed, and at the same time, there are many novel and creative forms of creation.

The Zhenhua Trilogy opened up a precedent for local school dramas in the mainland, telling everyone that in addition to filming noble private schools, ordinary high school dramas can still play well.

The cyclic travel of "Twinkle, Twinkle, Shine Star" is sweet, sadistic and mixed with a sense of fate, which really opened the eyes of many people.

Not to mention "You Who Came From The Stars", no one has combined aliens, superpowers, stars, comedy, fashion and other elements so well before.

Even the less-discussed "Interpol", some people feel that it is different from the standard criminal investigation dramas in the mainland. It has a faster pace, a strong sense of suspense, and a more intense battle of wits between pros and cons. It has the style of American TV dramas and top Hong Kong movies.

It is also because of this that Wei Yang earned the nickname of "Entertainment Talent".

The so-called talent does not only refer to his high level of screenwriting, but also means that he dares to innovate, showing the drive and determination that many old-school screenwriters do not have.

In this era of turbulent Internet, the post-80s gradually began to grasp a new round of public opinion positions.

Just like people loved poets and rock singers in the last century, young people now also worship and pursue geniuses like Wei Yang, Jay Chou, and Han Han who represent their generation.

It is precisely because of this that, in fact, this competition is somewhat unfair.

Wei Yang has a good reputation, high popularity, excellent grades, and repeated innovations. This is a very plus point in the eyes of the industry, the outside world and even the media.

And the dead girl with many flaws and no talent, was not favored from the beginning, especially on the Internet, almost one-sidedly supported Wei Yang.

From everyone's point of view, Wei Yang can be tied with the dead girl mainly because his qualifications are too low, and it will be a matter of time before he is given some development time to widen the distance.

Faced with such a view, the dead girl must not accept it. He admits that Wei Yang is strong, but he feels that he is not bad.

Even his real self seemed to appear on the Tianya forum discussing him and Wei Yang to defend himself.

It roughly means: He thinks his screenwriting level is almost the same as that of Wei Yang, and even has more depth. Wei Yang’s innovation is actually a trick. on him.

The reason why he is looked down upon is not because of his professional ability, but because of his appearance that he can't beat Wei Yang.

There is one thing to say, what the dead girl said is not unreasonable at all, Wei Yang must have the popularity and advantages he has today, and his appearance will have outstanding contributions.

But if he attributed all his achievements to his good looks, he would be talking nonsense with his eyes open, and there is a high probability that he is jealous of his good looks.

Therefore, Wei Yang didn't respond to this matter at the time, because he said earlier that he doesn't like to attack other people's appearance, and keeps talking about the girl's face, which is too cruel.

No matter how dissatisfied the dead girl is, it's useless to rely on her own words, she has to show a solid record.

This "Beauty's Scheming" is a big hit, defeating Wei Yang head-on, the dead girl may be able to win a round, at least she won't be left too far by Wei Yang.

But in the current situation, the dead girl has lost her last chance.

Sina, who hooked up with Wei Yang, published the news directly on the front page of the entertainment news on Sina.com, undisguisedly and publicly siding——

"Perhaps from this day on, there will be a public opinion on who is the first screenwriter of the new generation of TV dramas"

That's right, up to now, there is no need to continue discussing this matter.

Wei Yang already had the overall advantage, but his qualifications were relatively low. Now that he has made a final decision, he defeated the girl head-on, and it was an unreasonable crush.

…

There is no need to talk about how the dead girl was aggrieved and depressed. Wei Yang won and didn't beat the dog in the water.

Ignoring without saying a word is to some extent the greatest humiliation.

However, Wei Yang, the rightful lord, dismissed it. It doesn't mean that the fans are willing to let the dead girl go. At the beginning, they provoked and scolded each other, but now they play dead when they lose. How can there be such a good thing.

The dead girl's Weibo was stopped, and the post bar was popular seven or eight times a day on average.

The most interesting thing is that there were not many people in the post bar of the dead girl, and now it is almost becoming a new camp for Wei Yang fans. As expected, it has already become a scene in the post bar.

At the same time, Fan Xiaopang's fans also began to attack Lin Xinru aggressively.

It is said that when these two went to promote "Beauty's Scheming", their faces were all black...

But Wei Yang is too lazy to care about the fate of the dead girl. With "You Who Came from the Star" becoming popular, he himself is very busy now.

With tens of millions of contracts in hand, only two or three are negotiating, so there is no time to pay attention to the dead girl.

In mid-December, Wei Yang went to the capital. When he got off the plane, he was blocked by crowds of onlookers at the airport. He waited for half an hour before getting in the car and leaving.

Soon afterwards, Wei Yang appeared in the LeTV building and met the famous Boss Jia.

The two attended the press conference together, announcing that "My Love from the Star", which several major video sites have been competing for for a long time, finally won LeTV.

The price is a record-breaking 21 million!

At the press conference, Wei Yang had a bright smile on his face. He was originally looking at Youku and Tudou, which were seeking to go public, but now he is most eager for data and exposure, and he attaches great importance to "My Love from the Star".

In fact, the price was also negotiated well, the highest price has been called 18 million, 600,000 for a single episode, which is already very crazy on the current video sites.

If it weren't for Tudou and Youku's competition to go public, Wei Yang wouldn't dare to say that he could sell to this extent.

In the end, no one expected that LeTV would intervene at the critical moment, and in the end it was directly raised to 21 million, 700,000 for a single episode.

At this price, with the advertising traffic income of the current video website, there is no need to think about paying back, it is completely losing money and making money.

Even Blue Whale's internal analysis shows that LeEco's goal is probably to block Youku and Tudou, and at the same time increase its own influence to achieve a tripartite confrontation.

And not only Tudou and Youku want to go public, LeTV has also been preparing to go public, but the first two are from the United States, while LeTV is focusing on the mainland.

That being the case, there are enough reasons for LeEco to spend a lot of money. To block competitors, improve itself, and go public to create momentum, all of which add up, there is nothing wrong with spending the money.

Wei Yang doesn't care about LeTV's intentions, even he knows more than the employees below.

Others also analyzed in various ways. He pointed directly at the essence. It wasn't Boss Jia's money. Of course he didn't feel bad about spending it. As long as the popularity needs and strategic goals were met, Boss Jia would be willing to spend twice as much.

Of course, Boss Jia is not being taken advantage of. The market is like this, and Youku and Tudou, which bid for bidding, have withdrawn. He will not be able to spend more money.

Wei Yang still has some regrets, but he is also very satisfied.

As for LeEco's future, it's too far away now, and Wei Yang doesn't care, whoever gives more money, he sells it to.

And even if LeTV goes bankrupt in the future, it will not delay the spread of this drama. After all, "The Legend of Zhen Huan" is a good example.

After signing the contract, Wei Yang also attended the press conference at the invitation of Boss Jia to create momentum for LeEco. After all, the money has been well spent and the supporting services must be guaranteed.

More importantly, Boss Jia is very optimistic about the potential of Blue Whale and Wei Yang, and wants to promote a long-term cooperation.

Wei Yang doesn't care about whether he can reach a long-term cooperation with LeTV, but he attaches great importance to the word "heavy money" mentioned by Boss Jia later.

Before Boss Jia "returns to China next week", LeTV is a real big fat sheep, with extremely generous spending, Penguin Video is not as ruthless as him.

For this, Wei Yang is still very willing to "suffocate for the dream" with Boss Jia.

After the signing meeting, Boss Jia hosted a banquet, and Wei Yang chatted with him about the webcast rights of "Eastern Palace" and "This is the First Time in My Life".

As for "Hello, Old Times", it was not good. It had already been negotiated with Youku. The latter has the right of first refusal. Unless LeTV raises the price significantly, it will not be able to compete.

"East Palace" is not easy to talk about. After all, the cost is here. Wei Yang is unwilling if it is low, and LeTV is afraid to pay if it is high, so it is just an intention.

"This is the first time in my life" is easier to talk about, just follow the market price, and after a meal of wine, this matter is almost the same.

A single episode was given 150,000 yuan. For a drama that has not yet been aired, the webcasting rights can be sold at this price, all because of the words [screenplay by Wei Yang].

"This is the first time in this life" has a total of 28 episodes, Blue Whale and Tang Ren are split 50-50, which means that Wei Yang earned more than 2 million more in one wave.

Although they haven't reached an agreement with Ren Tang, Wei Yang thinks it's not a big problem. After all, Cai Yinong and Ren Tang can't negotiate the price by themselves, and they can sign the contract after a face-to-face meeting.

Having earned so much money, Wei Yang looked at Boss Jia with particularly pleasing eyes, and the latter also admired him very much.

When the wine was half drunk, he even tentatively proposed whether Blue Whale could make a pure web drama and broadcast it exclusively on the LeTV platform.

Wei Yang did not object, but raised a very practical question. It is no problem to make online dramas, but the key is how much money LeTV can give.

"You Who Came from the Star" is so popular that it only sold more than 20 million yuan, and the copyright of the TV drama copyright was nearly 50 million in the first round, and the second and third rounds would add up to 10-20 million.

The profit gap is not a joke, Wei Yang is now a celebrity in major TV stations, and your boss Jia's red mouth and white teeth can't compare to tens of millions of real money.

Boss Jia wasn't angry at all. Whoever does business doesn't care about profits, and whoever has no money will work hard for you.

So he gave his own solution: "Are you interested in becoming a shareholder of LeTV Video?"

If you become a shareholder of LeEco, you are one of your own. Wei Yang can subsidize some benefits, grow LeEco, and then exchange for greater benefits.

Moreover, for Boss Jia, Wei Yang is a talent, and he really hopes to tie him with LeTV. At that time, LeTV had its own high-quality content output, which could in turn suppress Youku and Tudou.

Boss Jia felt that he was sincere and attractive, and the stock price of LeEco was not low.

Moreover, the cooperation between the two parties, one with funds and the other with excellent creative ability, can be described as a strong alliance, like a tiger with wings added.

But in Wei Yang's view, it's simply "there are always people who want to harm me". He doesn't mind cooperating with LeTV, but it's different when he becomes a shareholder.

Even if he opened the God's Eye, it's hard to say whether there is a butterfly effect. If it falls on it, it will be really useless.

So Wei Yang politely rejected Boss Jia, and his attitude was very clear——

I'm not interested in investing in shares, don't play fake, if you really want to play online dramas, just throw money at it.

Boss Jia touched his hair: "How much do you want?"

Seeing the seriousness of his question, Wei Yang thought about it: "At least 100 million+."

Boss Jia was silent. Wei Yang thought he thought it was expensive, so he didn't say any more. When the show was over, Boss Jia suddenly asked again.

"Can't it be any cheaper?"

Wei Yang shook his head, and then said half-jokingly and half-seriously: "This is the current price, maybe if you come to me in a while, it will be 120 million, 1, 500 million..."
