Minglong Youth: Shared House with Cheng Yushan and Bian Xiaoxiao
Page 138
After a fierce competition, Snowy Night Chase was finally auctioned off at a price of one million.
The screenwriter of Snowy Night also gladly accepted the price.
These days, if a script can sell for one million, it is already quite a feat.
After all, when it comes to a film or TV series, the cost is more on actors and filming than on the script.
As for Wang Qiang’s proud “Let’s Watch the Meteor Shower Together”, the competition among investors was fierce, but the bids were only 20,000 each time, and the final transaction price was only 200,000 more than “Snowy Night”.
Although it was similar to his expectations, Wang Qiang just couldn’t be happy.
Because he was very curious. He sold it for 1.2 million. So what price did Zhou Chen, who ranked first, have to bid for?
He had already strongly felt from the warm atmosphere at the scene that the focus of these investors was not on their own script at all, but on Zhou Chen behind him!
Otherwise, why were they trying to restrain themselves when bidding, but when the host announced the start of filming of Zhou Chen’s Ever Night, why did they all stand up?
Does it have to be so obvious?
Chapter 218 The gap is too big
“one million!”
“1500000!”
“two millions!”
The originally quiet competition scene instantly turned into a lively auction scene when it was Zhou Chen’s turn to perform “Ever Night”.
No, this atmosphere is even more exciting than the auction site.
Seeing these investment groups bidding excitedly, and the starting price was one million, and each bid started at five hundred thousand, not only Wang Qiang, but even the other screenwriters widened their eyes, with incredible looks on their faces.
Oh my god, what’s going on?
Their scripts are either not filmed or are just small-scale movies.
Even the most powerful Wang Qiang only sold it for 1.2 million, but even so, it has made many people envious.
But now, Zhou Chen’s Ever Night, just at the very beginning, costs one million.
In just the blink of an eye, it has been photographed for more than three million.
Oh my God, what kind of script is this “The Longest Day” that is so valuable?
For a time, all the screenwriters became extremely curious about Zhou Chen’s script.
After all, everyone is facing a theme “Night”, and it is hard to imagine what kind of wonderful script can attract such a huge investment.
No one’s money comes from the strong wind.
But Zhou Chen is no exception to this situation.
Not to mention other things, his currently serialized novel Battle Through the Heavens alone has earned more than 10 million yuan, not to mention Ever Night.
Both the character setting and the world view are unique. The starting price of one million is not much, but a bit of a burnt amount.
“You can always trust these coal bosses!”
“I have to say, they understand investment.”
“This drama is indeed worth such a high price!”
“I’m so envious, Zhou Chen is indeed the real deal, it’s only the first round and he’s already sold it at such a high price!”
At this time, netizens in the live broadcast room on the Internet were stunned.
I thought it was just a script competition, but who could have imagined that the final auction session would be so exciting.
“Six million!”
“Seven million!”
“Twelve million!”
“Fifteen million!”
After a fierce competition, “Ever Night” written by Zhou Chen in three hours was sold for 15 million yuan.
Even the host Bingbing couldn’t help but take a deep breath and immediately connected with Zhou Chen.
“Teacher Zhou Chen, are you satisfied with this price? Are you willing to sell the copyright of the script of Ever Night to Xinli Investment?”
As soon as these words were spoken, everyone looked at Zhou Chen.
A script worth 15 million yuan can buy a nice house even in Beijing.
With such a high price, Zhou Chen should agree, right?
However, under the gaze of everyone, Zhou Chen shrugged his shoulders, looking exceptionally calm.
“You can let me sell this drama. But you need to agree to one condition.”
Zhou Chen smiled and said,
“I hope that this drama will be directed by Yi Yangmou. Because the world view and characters are too complicated, except for Yi Yangmou, there may be no other director who can make this drama.”
This is the truth.
Zhou Chen is not short of money now. He either does not sell the works he has carefully written, or he sells them to the right partners. Only in this way can the things he shoot be wonderful.
Different from Doupo.
The story of Ever Night is more traditional and three-dimensional, and more suitable for film and television dramas. In this regard, Yi Yangmou is obviously the best candidate.
“Thank you, thank you, it’s my honor. Thank you Zhou Chen!”
Yi Yangmou, who was sitting on the mentor’s podium, stood up excitedly when he heard that Zhou Chen actually wanted him to film this drama, and clasped his hands together to express his gratitude.
Because, this is the first time he has encountered such a wonderful drama in all these years.
Yi Yangmou didn’t expect that at such a critical moment, Zhou Chen would actually authorize him to shoot. This was a big favor and also gave him face.
“no problem!”
Faced with Zhou Chen’s conditions, the person in charge of Xinli Investment immediately made the decision.
“If Yi Yangmou were to direct this drama, I believe it would be a huge hit!”
As an investor, you want to make a profit.
Judging from the reactions on site and online, this drama is obviously extremely popular. If it were to be adapted, there would be huge opportunities to make money!
But if they add an international director like Yi Yangmou to shoot the film, then their investment cost of 15 million is really nothing!
Profitability has almost become a foregone conclusion.
“Then, deal!”
Zhou Chen shrugged and a relieved smile appeared on his face.
It seems that I have made the right decision to come to this script competition.
Once you have written the script, you don’t need to look for investors, directors, actors, etc. You only need to be responsible for writing it. As for the rest, you can leave it to the program team.
“Okay, congratulations Zhou Chen, congratulations!”
The host Bingbing also expressed her blessings to Zhou Chen, and even at the end, her voice was trembling.
To be honest, CCTV’s original intention of opening this column was just to encourage and train a group of new directors and inject new blood into the film and television industry.
But no one would have expected that just the first episode would create a script worth 15 million!
This result was far beyond their expectations!
The starting point is a bit too high!
Their show can be considered super successful, right?
Yes, right now, the topic about this script competition has become very popular on the Internet.
#The script contest produced a script worth 15 million#
#Zhou Chen participated in the script competition and created a script worth 15 million#
#Zhou Chen and Ever Night#
#The script competition is so exciting! #
There is no way. The 15 million script is really too scary. The internet has long been debating about it. Even netizens who don’t know about this couldn’t help but click on the replay of this episode and started watching it.
“Fifteen million, this…”
Wang Qiang didn’t know how he walked out of the show. Thinking about the intense scene just now, it felt like a dream.
He had been a screenwriter for so many years, but he had never seen such a scene.
Is it really that attractive that a script could attract so many investors to bid for it?
“Ding!”
At this moment, the assistant sent the electronic version of Jiang Ye’s script to his WeChat.
Wang Qiang didn’t care too much and couldn’t wait to open it and read.
When I first started reading it, I thought it was pretentious, unremarkable, and even a bit boring.
However, as important characters appeared one after another and the worldview gradually unfolded, Wang Qiang himself became fascinated unknowingly.
“sky……”
After an unknown amount of time, Wang Qiang took a deep breath, his eyes full of shock.
“Such a complete script in three hours, he could create it? Isn’t that too cruel?”
A good script has several essential elements: characters, plot, and ideas. However, The Meteor Shower written by Wang Qiang only has the first two. In terms of ideas, it is basically zero.
But Zhou Chen’s book, Ever Night, really has everything you need. Not only does it have it, but the setting is also quite complete!
It’s simply breathtaking!
Chapter 219 The program team held a meeting overnight
“Zhou Chen, you are so scary!”
Coming out of the program crew, Cheng Yushan put her arm around Zhou Chen, her pretty face full of pride.
Cheng Yushan knew that Zhou Chen was already good enough, but after what happened today, she realized that her understanding of Zhou Chen was just the tip of the iceberg.
Yes, Zhou Chen is so outstanding.
In just three hours, he was able to write such an amazing script. He simply created a world out of thin air. Even Cheng Yushan himself was immersed in it and couldn’t extricate himself.
“I’m terrible?”
Zhou Chen frowned and looked at Cheng Yushan in confusion.
“Yeah, it’s horrible!”
Cheng Yushan nodded and looked straight at Zhou Chen.
“Sometimes I really want to pry open your brain and see what’s inside. Oh, I wish I had a brain as good as yours!”
Yes, even though they slept together every day, Zhou Chen’s mind seemed to contain an infinite universe. He could shine with any energy he released.
“It’s not that mysterious. It’s just a coincidence.”
Zhou Chen broke out in a sweat, thinking that if he wasn’t a plagiarist, he probably wouldn’t be able to write Ever Night, let alone an ordinary script, in three hours.
The test on people within a limited time is really too severe.
“I’m in a good mood today, Yushan, what do you want to eat? It’s my treat!”
Zhou Chen held Cheng Yushan’s slender waist. He had been concentrating on writing the script at the competition site, so he didn’t think much of it. Now that the competition was over, Zhou Chen realized that he was already starving.
I have consumed so many brain cells, I must eat something to replenish them.
“I want to eat roast duck!”
Cheng Yushan was not polite. At this time, she had already gotten used to Zhou Chen’s presence.
“No problem, let’s go!”
Zhou Chen grinned, took Cheng Yushan with him, hailed a taxi, and headed towards Quanjude in Beijing.
