Chapter 7 It's worth ten million

"Dad, do you want to see him in person?" Lin Weixi was quite surprised. In her memory, her father had not been so enthusiastic.

My father Lin Yimou is a famous Ivy League in the film and television industry. He has never lacked good scripts. Why did he react so much after watching "All is OK"?

Is "Everything Good" a rare boutique?

"I have accepted such a good script. I went to see him because I wanted to see if I could buy it out directly, and if he wanted to work in depth, I had to see how he was like." Lin Yimou smiled slightly and took down the coat and hat hanging on the hanger in the hall.

"He is quite talented and has a deep understanding of science fiction literature." Lin Weixi went to wear shoes and called Su Xiaozhou with a phone call.

In Lu Changming's rental house, the smoke finally dissipated, but he was also sloppy and had to take a shower.

Halfway through the washing, Su Xiaozhou slammed the door happily: "Ming, hurry up, Weixi's father wants to see you."

"What?" Lu Changming paused his hand, showing a look of surprise, and then he realized and was confident.

It is worthy of being an excellent script in a parallel world, "Everything is OK" has caught the eye of Director Lin Da!

"Okay, you can call a taxi first, I'll finish it immediately." Lu Changming did not know the truth, and then went out.

The two siblings took a taxi and went to the cafe.

It was already past seven o'clock in the evening, but for the bustling city center, this was the most lively time.

Walking into the cafe, Lu Changming saw Lin Weixi at a glance.

It was still in the same corner, Lin Weixi sat by the window, and next to her was a middle-aged man in black casual outfit.

The middle-aged man wears frameless glasses and has two beards. He has a slightly fat body, but his hair and dress are meticulously taken care of. He is a very elegant uncle.

"Weixi, is this your father? I seem to have seen it on TV." Su Xiaozhou spoke first. She is more lively and familiar, not restrained.

"Hello, you two." Lin Yimou smiled kindly, his eyes locked in Lu Changming, and at the same time he reached out to move the hat on the table to the side.

"Hello, Mr. Lin." Lu Changming was not restrained, but he respected him very much. The Ivy Director in front of him was not an ordinary person.

Compared with him, Wang Xiaoli, who wanted to sleep with herself before, was simply a stinky fish and rotten shrimp.

"Mr. Lu, please sit down." Lin Yimou was very kind, and his daughter Lin Weixi took the initiative to order two cups of cappuccinos, with sugar added.

After Lu Changming and Su Xiaozhou sat down, Lin Weixi said, "Zhouzhou, let's go shopping and buy some clothes."

"Ah? Oh," Su Xiaozhou reacted, and it was not convenient for him to stay here to disturb the man about the serious matter.

She quickly went shopping with Lin Weixi.

As soon as the two women left, Lu Changming spoke first to show his politeness: "Mr. Lin, what do you think of "Everything is Good"?"

Lin Yimou did not speak immediately. He looked at the young man in front of him carefully and had to admit that Lu Changming was really handsome.

Such a handsome young man and so talented is rare.

"I'll call you Xiao Lu. I have two questions to ask you, I hope you will answer them." Lin Yimou got straight to the point. A great director like him would not waste time.

"Excuse me."

"First, do you want to sell scripts or be a director by yourself?" Lin Yimou asked with a smile, giving people a feeling of being easy-going and majestic.

"I want to be a director myself." Lu Changming already knew Lin Yimou's mind. Lin Yimou probably wanted to buy out "Everything is OK", so that he has all the copyrights and does not need to waste quarrels with him.

"That's how it is." Lin Yimou was a little disappointed, but did not show it. Instead, he asked the next question, "The second question, I think the heroine in the play is more difficult to choose. Choosing the wrong one may ruin a drama. Do you have the right candidate?"

The heroine of "Everything is OK" is Su Mingyu, a girl who was beaten and even abused by her mother since childhood. She grew up in a twisted family, full of hatred for her family, and has a strong personality. Not all celebrities can play it well.

"To be honest, I don't pay much attention to actors. Mr. Lin is a famous director. You should be able to choose the right role." Lu Changming replied. He did not refuse, but he really didn't pay attention to celebrities and couldn't give too good advice.

Lin Yimou pondered, tapped his fingers on the chair a few times, and then suggested: "What do you think of Yang Yao? She is so popular, with countless fans, and she can basically make a profit if she participates in the show."

Yang Yao?

Lu Changming searched in his mind and saw a beautiful melon-shaped face appearing in front of him. He is not stained with the world and does not eat fireworks. He is a fairy in costume dramas.

"I'm afraid it's not suitable." Lu Changming shook his head directly. The ancient costume fairy Su Mingyu was funny.

"What about Guan Xiao?" Lin Yimou's eyes were filled with a smile and recommended another big star.

Guan Xiao is also very beautiful, white and tender. She is a regular visitor to youth idol dramas and has an amazing number of fans.

But Lu Changming still shook his head: "It's not suitable, let's not talk about the acting skills. "Everything is good" is a family ethics drama. Actors must be alive and attractive, but they are too beautiful and inconsistent."

Lin Yimou clapped his hands and said with a smile: "You are very reasonable. I thought a young man like you would pursue a high-profile female star."

He said, taking a sip of the bitter latte and said, "The style of "All is good" is lifestyle. I'm really afraid that you will sell it to others and then invite a bunch of young ladies to act."

He was deliberately testing Lu Changming just now.

If Lu Changming is pursuing popular female celebrities, it means he can only write scripts and has no own opinions on film and television. Such people are suitable for writing behind the scenes and must not be directors in the front desk.

"It turns out that Mr. Lin was deliberately testing me. I just told you why you are like those vulgar directors and only pursue big traffic." Lu Changming replied and laughed, "Famous directors are famous directors."

The two praised each other, deepening the revolutionary friendship.

Lin Yimou laughed and stood up and stretched out his hand: "Young man, my "Love of Hawthorn Tree" has ended. The next film will be filmed "Everything is OK". I will ask the company's people to sign a contract with you. You are the screenwriter and can provide guidance. You also have a certain right to decide on the selection of people. As for the price, how much do you want?"

In fact, Lu Changming wanted to be a director, but he knew that he could not become a fat man in one bite. "Everything is OK" was his first step. Being a screenwriter on-site director and casting is already of great significance.

"I'm quite greedy. I expected "All is OK" to be popular all over the country, so I'm asking for a higher price." Lu Changming is not a newcomer, but "All is OK" is not a "new work". He cannot sell "All is OK" for a newcomer price of more than 100,000 or even tens of thousands.

Lin Yimou teased: "Ten million?"

Ten million is already the price of a gold medal screenwriter, and only a few people in the industry can achieve it.

According to the current market, screenwriters who have more than 100,000 episodes per episode are rare. "Everything is OK" has a total of only a few million worth of episodes.

"Ten millions are very much. In fact, one million is a lot for me, a newcomer. I am very grateful to Mr. Lin for his attention, but as for "Everything is good", it is really worth ten million." Lu Changming smiled. This is what he estimated based on the achievements he achieved in parallel worlds of "Everything is good", and it is actually less.

Lin Yimou raised his eyes and said, "You guy is just giving a bamboo pole and climbing up."

A famous novices dare to regard themselves as a gold medal screenwriter.

"Young man, self-confidence is a good thing, but it must be informed. How is "Everything is OK" worth 10 million?" Lin Yimou started to beat up, and he had to sharpen the young man's spirit.

"As long as Director Lin shoots the effect I expected, I think "All is good" will have a viewership of 2 in at least three TV stations and a top three in the top three in the ratings of ten TV stations. The number of online views in a single day exceeds 200 million. This is its capital worth 10 million." Lu Changming said three achievements, and these achievements have been achieved or even surpassed in parallel worlds.

He believed that with Lin Yi's ability, "Everything is Good" can achieve the above achievements.

Lin Yimou was really surprised. The ratings of three TV stations exceeded 2, and the ratings of ten TV stations ranked among the top three, with the daily online viewing volume exceeding 200 million. Such a result has never happened. Even the popular "Ode to Sadness" in the Internet in the past few years was a bit worse.

Lu Changming spoke in such a big tone.

"Young man, it's not that I'm going to hit you. If "Everything is OK" is really worth 10 million, and I'm willing to give you 10 million. But for now, I can only give you 2 million at most." Lin Yimou shook his head and gave his own psychological price.

Two million is already a huge sum of money for newcomers, with an average of nearly 50,000 per episode, and it is difficult for senior screenwriters to get it.

"No problem, but for the next cooperation, Mr. Lin will definitely give me more than this price."
