Chapter 434
"If you think the division is too much, then don't divide it at all."
Su Yu's words prompted Old Chen and Old Li, who were eavesdropping nearby, to ask a question.
Old Chen: "oo? Zun Du?"
Old Li: "OO? Fake Du?"
Wang Cheng: "Oo? Is Zun Du fake Du?"
Su Yu nodded and smiled.
"of course it's true."
"Xiao Su, I knew it..."
Wang Cheng was about to utter the words of praise.
Then Su Yu continued, "As long as you don't use my script, this problem will be easily solved."
"You little rascal!"
Wang Cheng swallowed back the words that were on the tip of his tongue.
Although he does have some scripts that don't require a share of the screenwriter's earnings.
But those scripts were absolutely terrible.
Even if it meant paying him to use it, let alone sharing the profits, he wouldn't dare use it.
Upon hearing this, Old Chen and Old Li couldn't help but smile wryly: "Little Su, at a time like this, please stop joking with us."
If we really had a better script, would Lao Wang still be so calm after being repeatedly tricked and betrayed by you?
"I've been waiting for you at your doorstep with a small leather whip."
Su Yu: "Um... Leaders, have we revealed Director Wang's peculiar fetish?"
However, on the other hand...
Wang Cheng pondered for a moment, then decided to back down first, saying:
"Xiao Su, what I can guarantee you now is that after the movie 'The Battle at Lake Changjin' is released, as the screenwriter, you will definitely receive a share of the box office revenue."
"I can't fully agree to your offer of a 20% profit share yet."
Twenty percent of the box office revenue.
It's just too high.
Generally speaking.
Besides taxes, movie box office revenue is also included in the revenue.
The remaining box office revenue is then split among the exhibitors, producers, and distributors.
Aside from famous directors and lead actors, in other cases, actors generally only receive a salary and do not receive any additional box office revenue sharing.
Even if there are some, they mostly only account for about three percent.
Su Yu immediately offered a 20% share of the box office revenue.
This can't be described as just asking for the moon.
That's like using a vacuum cleaner!!!
What's more, this is a tribute drama.
It involves cooperation from multiple departments.
Box office revenue will naturally be distributed among the various departments.
……
However, Su Yu expressed his understanding and replied, "Then I'll wait for Director Wang's good news. How should I put it? Sometimes inspiration is like water in a sponge; once it comes out, you can't stop it."
"What do you mean?"
Wang Cheng didn't understand.
It seems to be a famous quote.
But upon closer listening, something seemed off.
Lu Xun: "To retell a story is not to make up nonsense, and to adapt it is not to fabricate it randomly. Be careful of lawyer's letters."
Su Yu explained with a smile, "Director Wang, this is because I suddenly had a burst of inspiration after the live broadcast last night and wrote another script. I plan to film a sister film called 'Water Gate Bridge' after we finish filming 'The Battle at Lake Changjin'."
Geek!
Wang Cheng was taken aback.
He then quickly asked, "How does the script quality of this sister series compare to that of Chosin Reservoir?"
"About the same."
Su Yu stated truthfully, after all, the difference in box office revenue between the two was not significant.
"it is good!"
Wang Cheng nodded.
"Xiao Su, wait for my good news."
For an instant.
Wang Xiang was like he was on steroids.
He hung up the phone excitedly.
after an hour.
The highest meeting room.
The Grand Secretary flipped through the thick script in front of him.
The more I watch, the more satisfied I become.
The more I watch, the more engrossed I become.
The others were also intently flipping through the script that Wang Cheng had printed out in advance.
Another two hours passed.
During this time.
throughout the conference room.
The only sound was the rustling of pages turning.
Until everyone turned to the last page of the script.
Everyone breathed a sigh of relief.
"I've finally finished watching it."
But just then, a line of large characters came into view.
"The first script for Chosin Reservoir is complete!"
Everyone was stunned.
"What do you mean?"
"Could there be a sequel?"
"I knew there were still some holes left to fill."
"What about the second script? Bring it over for us to see now, and if it's suitable, we can film it together."
In the conference room.
Many people started complaining.
Even the way they looked at Wang Cheng became somewhat unfriendly.
"Old Wang, are you doing this on purpose?"
