Chapter VIII Signing a Contract
When Lu Chen woke up the next morning, he found that the meals he had packed had been swept away, and the packed tableware was thrown into the trash can in the kitchen.
It seems that no matter how sad a person is, he still knows how to eat.
However, the four hundred yuan was still placed on the table, and Shi Yin did not move. Seeing these pieces of money, Lu Chen smiled. After that, he washed up and went to the dreamland.
Perhaps because of his previous visit, Lu Chen walked to the reception desk of Dream Kingdom, and the girl at the front desk smiled and said to him: "Mr. Lu, Director Cheng and Director Chen are waiting for you in the office, please come with me.
"
"good."
Following the receptionist, Lu Chen came to Cheng Ming's office again. Cheng Ming and Chen Chuan seemed to be chatting about something at this time. After Lu Chen entered, the two of them were still having a heated discussion until the receptionist spoke.
Only then did he realize that someone had come in.
"Mr. Cheng, Mr. Lu is here."
After hearing what the girl at the front desk said, they both turned to look at Lu Chen.
Chen Chuan stood up and walked towards Lu Chen, then stretched out his right hand.
"Hello, I am Chen Chuan."
Lu Chen also quickly stretched out his left hand and shook his hand.
"Hello."
Afterwards, Chen Chuan pulled out a chair for Lu Chen and gave instructions:
"Please take a seat."
Seeing Chen Chuan being so polite, Lu Chen felt a little embarrassed. After all, Chen Chuan can be considered a celebrity in this world. Although he has become a director now, his fame is still there, and he is older than himself.
, asking him to pull a chair for himself is a bit inappropriate.
After Lu Chen said "thank you", he immediately sat down.
Chen Chuan asked: "Brother is so young, he must have just graduated, right?"
Lu Chen answered perfunctorily: "Yes, yes."
Hearing this question, Lu Chen was a little worried, worried that Dreamland would use the reason that he was a new screenwriter to lower the price.
However, Lu Chen soon discovered that his worries were unnecessary.
Chen Chuan praised at this time: "You can write such a good script just after graduation. It seems that there will be another great screenwriter in the film and television industry soon."
Lu Chen smiled and said nothing.
At this time, Cheng Ming interrupted and said: "Mr. Lu, I came to you this time to discuss the price of the script again. Director Chen values your script more. He communicated with the senior management of our company and the price of this script can be slightly higher."
Mention some more.”
Hearing Cheng Ming's words, Lu Chen felt a little relieved. It seemed that Dream Kingdom had no intention of lowering the price.
Chen Chuan said at this time: "If Dream Kingdom can buy this script, then I will be the director to film this drama. If I direct it, you can rest assured, Lu Chen, although many of the TV dramas I have filmed are
I'm not a big hit, but I'm definitely a very responsible director."
Chen Chuan has been making modern comedies for decades. Whether he is an actor or a director, he is a little tired of it. He actually wants to make a different TV series, but he can't find a good script. Lu Chen's script
It opened his horizons, and because he had a long-term cooperation with Dreamland, he had a relatively good relationship with the company's upper management, so he personally came forward to persuade Dreamland to buy the show "The Unruly Princess".
After experiencing price setbacks from other companies, the price offered by Fantasy Kingdom was completely acceptable to Lu Chen. Moreover, his drama was directed by Chen Chuan, who is well-known in the entertainment industry, which was also of great benefit to him.
It can indirectly increase his popularity.
Thinking of this, Lu Chen said directly: "Then it's 55,000 per episode. What do you think, Mr. Cheng?"
Seeing that the price of Lu Morning News was within an acceptable range, Cheng Ming immediately said: "If it's 55,000 per episode..."
Having said this, Cheng Ming paused for a moment, and then continued after a few seconds: "We can still accept this price."
"Okay, now that the price has been negotiated, let's sign the contract."
"okay."
Then Cheng Ming called his secretary and asked his secretary to type out the contract immediately. While waiting for the contract, the three of them chatted about other things.
"Lu Chen, I see that your script is very standard, and the dialogue between the characters is also very smooth. I almost don't have to change the dialogue during filming. Are you from Huaying?" Chen Chuan asked.
Lu Chen replied: "No, it's just an ordinary school."
"Then who is your screenwriting teacher?"
Generally, people who want to be screenwriters without going to a professional school need a professional screenwriter to guide them for a period of time. The scripts written by Lu Chen were perfect, which indirectly shows that the level of his screenwriting teachers is also very high.
Lu Chen smiled and said, "I don't have a teacher to teach me either."
Hearing this answer, Chen Chuan and Cheng Ming were both stunned. How could a screenwriter with no professional knowledge or guidance from a teacher write such a perfect script?
This young man is really talented.
Having said this, Chen Chuan directed the topic to other places.
"Speaking of which, Lu Chen, who do you think is more suitable to play the heroine in this drama? In other words, which actor do you think can best portray the heroine's unruly and willful character?"
The name of the drama "The Unruly Princess" determines that the heroine of this drama is very important. If the heroine is not chosen well, it is basically equivalent to half of the drama being wasted.
Lu Chen thought carefully about Chen Chuan's question, but after searching for the actresses in his mind about this world, he found that there seemed to be no actress who was most suitable for this role.
Of course, if you insist on finding a famous actress to play the role, that's not impossible.
"I'm not very familiar with those actresses. Director Chen, which actress do you think is more suitable?" Lu Chen returned the question to Chen Chuan again.
Chen Chuan thought for a while and said: "I'm afraid it's hard to find the heroine for your drama. I have a few candidates, but the salaries of those people are a bit high. I'm afraid Mr. Cheng and the others won't hire her."
Cheng Ming said at this time: "How about using new people?"
Dream Kingdom used to specialize in film and television dramas, and rarely operated other businesses. What was even worse was that it did not have its own artists, and had to be ripped off every time the actors were paid. Therefore, in the past two years, Dream Kingdom has gradually begun to sign new artists.
When filming TV series, they use new actors more and more often.
Chen Chuan thought for a moment and said to Cheng Ming: "This role is difficult, and I'm afraid it won't be well played by a newcomer."
"How about this? Let the newcomers try out the acting first. If there are suitable ones, use them. If not, then use star actors."
Hearing the conversation between Chen Chuan and Cheng Ming, Lu Chen remembered what they had discussed when he entered the office earlier.
Before Lu Chen came, the two of them were already discussing who should play the heroine.
At this time, Secretary Cheng Ming's voice came, bringing the three of them back to reality.
"Mr. Cheng, the contract has been signed."
The female secretary put the contract in front of Cheng Ming's eyes as she spoke, and Cheng Ming handed one of the contracts to Lu Chen.
"Lu Chen, please take a look first and see if you have any questions or anything you need to add."
Lu Chen took the contract and read it carefully twice. In his previous life, he was cheated by his friends because of the contract. In this life, he has become much more cautious.
After reading it, Lu Chen said: "There is nothing to add."
Cheng Ming took out two black signature pens and said, "If there is no problem, just sign."
"okay."
After both parties signed the contract, Cheng Ming and Lu Chen shook hands and said, "Happy cooperation!"
“A pleasure to work with!”
"We will pay you the fees for the first five episodes through the bank account you left in the contract. Since it does not include tax, the tax bureau will trouble you to make a trip yourself." Cheng Ming reminded.
Lu Chen took the contract and said with a smile: "Okay, I understand."
After signing the contract, Lu Chen was about to leave the dreamland. At this moment, he suddenly looked at Chen Chuan and said:
"Director Chen, I suddenly remembered that I have a friend. She may be more suitable to play the heroine of this drama. I wonder if I can let her try out?"
Chen Chuan replied: "Okay, when we are ready, we will notify you during the audition. You can just bring her over."
Having said this, Chen Chuan took out a business card and handed it to Lu Chen.
"By the way, this is my business card. If you have any questions you need to communicate, you can call me directly."
"Thank you, Director Chen, I'll leave first."
