Chapter 487 Signing the Contract

Liu Huaxing wasn't too sure if Yang Xiaoxiao was really drunk, he only knew that this girl was really in high spirits after drinking. After a noisy meal, Liu Huaxing was also exhausted. The little girl lay on his chest and looked at him with a smile, her eyes were full of happiness and sweetness, she didn't seem sleepy at all.

"Xingxing," Yang Xiaoxiao smiled charmingly, drew circles with her index finger on his chest, and then teased, "Have you noticed that your abs have changed from six packs to four packs..."

"Heh, heh heh..." Liu Huaxing couldn't help but let out a dry laugh.

Indeed, since he was a sophomore, because he stopped playing on the basketball team and had to sit in front of the computer for a long time to write manuscripts and operate games, his physical activity decreased significantly, and his weight also began to soar at a speed visible to the naked eye. Although I can't see anything now, it is impossible to go back and become a fitness instructor. Yang Xiaoxiao also hit the vital point with a single blow.

"Pfft..." Yang Xiaoxiao laughed out loud at that time, she climbed onto Liu Huaxing's body, lay on his chest and laughed, "What's the matter, I'm not laughing at you. I love you even if you are two hundred catties fat You."

"Why? If you gain two hundred catties, I'm not sure..." Liu Huaxing said suspiciously.

"You're two hundred catties and I know it's you, my favorite star, who will pamper me and love me." Yang Xiaoxiao explained, then gritted her teeth and growled like an angry kitten: "Also, It is impossible for me to be fat to two hundred catties, absolutely! So you have to love me and love me all the time! Do you hear me!?"

Liu Huaxing just caressed her cheek gently. He felt that Yang Xiaoxiao didn't mind this because Yang Xiaoxiao knew very well that he loved her because of her appearance, so she had to keep herself pretty. Liang, but on the other hand, Yang Xiaoxiao only loves him because he is him. This unconditional love is greater than His love.

Of course, it is really impossible for Yang Xiaoxiao to be fat to two hundred catties, she is not even ninety catties yet. Sometimes, Liu Huaxing wished that she could be a little fatter, and it would be better if she could reach about ninety-eight catties.

"It's my good fortune to find you." Liu Huaxing kissed Yang Xiaoxiao's small mouth and said with a smile.

"Hey... I hope I can always be so happy." Yang Xiaoxiao looked at him with a smile, and Liu Huaxing squeezed her little butt with a smile: "Then let's work hard together? Look at your little butt, tsk tsk tsk, really elasticity……"

"Didn't you say you were resting? You're still messing around..." Yang Xiaoxiao said coquettishly.

"You're so delicious, I couldn't help but take another sip..." Liu Huaxing leaned over to get entangled with her.

This holiday is more enjoyable than last time, not only because they don't have to worry about expenses, but also because they have been bored at home for a long time, and they can finally release the pressure accumulated in the past six months.

Since they moved in together, housework at home took up most of their time, and they even seldom had time to go out on dates. It also made them truly understand the troubles in daily life, the more they are on vacation, the more tired they are.

After the vacation was over, Liu Huaxing took Yang Xiaoxiao home by plane, and immediately began to prepare for the signing.

Liu Huaxing hesitated again and again, but in the end he did not sign a contract with Huanyi Entertainment. Although he and Liu Zhiyuan had a good relationship, it happened that he did not want this to be a condition for the entertainment company to kidnap him. If there was a suitable role for Liu Zhiyuan, he would naturally play tricks. Give it to Liu Zhiyuan, but if there is no one, he doesn't want the other party to force one into his script.

So he finally found an entertainment company without any acquaintances, so that the two parties could discuss the signing conditions more fairly. Therefore, at two o'clock in the afternoon, he came to the coffee shop appointed by the other party on time. He didn't bring Yang Xiaoxiao with him. Although the little girl wanted to come along, Liu Huaxing felt that this kind of "business type" conversation was still not suitable for her. girlfriend.

What made him more satisfied was that at least the person for this appointment had arrived ahead of schedule. He thinks this is very important. If a person can arrive early, it means that he attaches great importance to this matter and makes people feel very polite.

However, to be precise, it is not "he", but "she".

"Hello, Mr. Liu." This girl is twenty-six or seven years old, and her appearance and figure are relatively average. In fact, her facial features are not bad. A pair of almond eyes are soft and soft. Although she has a hooked nose, she is very beautiful. She has a slender face. pretty. But her skin is not particularly white, and there are some freckles on her face, and she is a little fat, which makes her look mediocre.

"Let me introduce myself. My name is He Li. I'm here to discuss the contract with you on behalf of our company." The other party stretched out his hand and smiled.

"Hello." Liu Huaxing smiled and shook hands with the other party. Because the other party arrived in advance, his favorability for this entertainment company increased greatly. In fact, which entertainment company really doesn't matter to him, anyway, he still chooses and arranges the director himself in the end. Therefore, ability and fame don't matter, other aspects are the focus of his consideration.

"I didn't expect to be so young." He Li pursed her lips and asked with a smile, "Would you like something to drink? My treat."

"No need, let me treat you. I just made a fortune recently." Liu Huaxing smiled politely, "But I don't have much time, and my ancestors are waiting for me to go back at home, so let's talk about business directly?"

He Li smiled and said: "Then I'll get straight to the point. I've watched your TV series, and it's really great. It's not so much the excellent shooting techniques, but the script itself is great, especially the first episode that gives people I was deeply impressed. I thought the content would slow down in the later episodes, but the hot style continued until the end."

"Where, you are too much." Liu Huaxing said modestly, "It's just that there are more protagonists, so it's easier to arrange the plot."

"Yes, to be honest, putting so much content in a 20-episode TV series is a bit rushed. Each protagonist can make a separate movie to introduce their past and present lives. Will there be any in the future? What about this idea?" He Li asked curiously, obviously trying to find out how much Liu Huaxing's commercial value is, so that he can make a price later.

Liu Huaxing actually thought about what He Li said. Everyone in the "Dragon" organization has their own abilities and specialties. It is indeed very suitable for everyone to arrange a TV series or a movie with more than ten episodes individually. to introduce. This can also create more economic benefits, just like the Avengers.

But the premise is that this series must be a little more "hot". Otherwise, few people even know who these people are, so how can they be interested in learning about their past and present lives? But on the other hand, if these independent works are good enough, they can also increase the popularity of the entire "Yulong" series.

It's as if "The Avengers" increased the popularity of the Black Widow, and eventually made the Black Widow an independent film, and independent series such as "Iron Man" and "Captain America" ​​increased the popularity of the "Avengers", resulting in cross influence.

"If the heat is right, of course I have that plan." Liu Huaxing replied with a smile.

"Then, let's talk about the signing." After hearing this answer, He Li seemed to have a result in her heart, cleared her throat and said seriously, "You should know what the entertainment company does? Simply put, we are actually A brokerage company that specializes in signing screenwriters or entertainers like you to help them promote, hype, find collaborators, and so on."

Liu Huaxing nodded, and took a sip of lemon tea. He still knew these things.

"What I want to tell you in advance is that our entertainment company will take 30% of your remuneration as a commission. But correspondingly, we will try our best to negotiate a higher copyright fee with the director." He Li continue.

"Thirty percent? Unexpectedly less." Liu Huaxing asked curiously. According to his knowledge, the ratio between general entertainment companies, managers and celebrities is about 4:1:5, so Many big stars usually set up their own entertainment companies. They are not short of fame and popularity, so 90% of the final income is their own.

But Liu Huaxing couldn't do it, because running an entire company was too tiring, and he had to worry about everything by himself. Screenwriting is just a side job for him, and he doesn't plan to rely on this line of work alone to make a living like those stars.

He is not that popular at the moment, and the pseudonym "Zi Feiyu" has not yet been linked to "Divine Drama".

What's more, screenwriters and actors have different market conditions.

Although the salary will be limited in the future, at present, many directors will spend tens of millions or even hundreds of millions to hire a high-traffic star as the protagonist, but they will not spend millions on the script.

He Li smiled, and said neither humble nor overbearing: "That's right, the normal commission of a general entertainment company is about 50%, and 10% of it is given to the agent. I won't hide it from you. Compared with our company, The reputation is not particularly big, and there are not many popular stars in the artists under it, so the commission is relatively low. If you have a request, you can also ask for it."

"Oh, the company's reputation and size don't matter." Liu Huaxing replied, holding his chin, "But I do have some requirements. If you can agree, I don't care if the company is smaller."

Although Liu Huaxing is not very well-known at present, there are quite a few people who want to cooperate with him to gain popularity, so the size of the company is not a big problem. If the director is too airy, it will be more troublesome to point and delete his script.

"Well, you can mention it. The company will agree if it is reasonable." He Li nodded.

"First, I hope to always have the right to choose the role of the movie." Liu Huaxing replied, "Generally, I will not intervene in the selection of the role by the crew, but if it is an actor who I think is not suitable, I can still ask for it. Replace it."

He Li pondered for a while, then held the coffee cup in her hand and replied: "Generally speaking, this can be done. But because of this condition, your copyright fee may be lowered, so you don't care about it? Because if the screenwriter Having a fixed requirement for an actor usually results in more cost for the crew to sign the actor.”

"It's okay, it's better to make less money than to make a bad movie." Liu Huaxing nodded and said.

"What if it's an artist under the company?" He Li hesitated for a moment, and asked tentatively, "Sometimes, the company may try to promote the popularity of its own artists or make new artists familiar in the entertainment circle, and Give him some role in your script, or at least bind him. Do you mind? It doesn't have to be the protagonist, but it may be a supporting role."

Here comes the key point. Liu Huaxing thought to himself, this is what he cares most about. But he is an adult after all, so naturally he will not bite this issue so hard. In the adult world, everything can be negotiated.

"If the actor is suitable, I can accept it," Liu Huaxing nodded, "but if his acting skills are too poor or completely inconsistent with the original work, then I will naturally refuse."

Generally speaking, as long as it is not the protagonist in the script, the role of the supporting role usually does not affect the overall effect of the script.

He Li nodded, without rushing to reply, she raised her hand and said with a smile, "Please continue."

"Secondly, you need to discuss with me about the cuts and changes of the plot, and you can't cut and change the important parts." Liu Huaxing continued, "Because there are some places that I deliberately planted foreshadowing, which may be used in the later stage."

He Li smiled and nodded, obviously this is a more reasonable and common request. Then Liu Huaxing thought for a while, and raised his third finger: "Then, the final director's decision is in my hands, and the entertainment company cannot interfere. As long as these conditions are met, you can raise the commission to 5% Ten is fine."

"Deal." He Li was unexpectedly straightforward, which made Liu Huaxing a little worried: "Don't you need to think about it again?"

"No need, although Director Ke boasted that the success of this TV series is all due to him, but his filming techniques are actually clear to professionals in the industry." He Li smiled slightly.

This villain Ke Cheng... Liu Huaxing secretly spat in his heart. Although the two of them used each other, I didn't expect this guy to swell up so quickly. In the face of other people's interviews, he dared to lick B's face and said that it was all due to him.

He Li continued: "Anyone with a little bit of knowledge knows that the key to the success of this TV series is that the script is well written. If you change the director, the result will still be the same, and it may even be better than his filming."

This is the truth. Liu Huaxing nodded in satisfaction.

"In short, your request is not excessive, and I will respond to my superiors." As He Li said, she dug out a stack of documents from her briefcase and handed them over, "These are our company's contract samples, you can read them first Look. Party B, that is, your request, we will modify it later, but the conditions for Party A, that is, our company, remain the same, only appropriate adjustments will be made on the share, you can take it back and take a closer look."

"Well, okay." Liu Huaxing took it from the opponent's hand.

Seeing this, He Li stood up and held out her hand to him: "I will respond to your request as soon as possible, and then I will reply to you. No later than tomorrow."

No later than tomorrow... It seems that he also hopes to win this business as soon as possible. Liu Huaxing thought to himself.

"We'll talk then." Liu Huaxing shook hands with her and said.
