Strange father and strange mother(31)

"Crime Restart" sells for a good price because everyone is optimistic about it. But when it was released, the result was really not within the range of Lin Yutong's expectations. The ratings exceeded 1% on the first day, and exceeded 100% on the second day

Second, on the third day it was 4%, and on the fourth day it was over 5%. In the following days, it has been hovering between 4% and 5%.

"I've asked, this is the TV series with the highest ratings so far in the first half of this year." Lin Bo raised the corners of his mouth, "My daughter is amazing, and she is extraordinary as soon as she starts." The key is that the public opinion reviews are also very good.

Ah. The mainstream media said that this drama has a fast pace, a high-density plot, and a rough documentary style. It focuses on the police officers and uses them to peel off the bamboo shoots layer by layer, leading the audience to solve various cases.

It created the image of a righteous police officer and was well received by the audience, so it was hailed as a "police idol drama" by netizens.

The company is also in the process of processing the second and even third round of broadcasting rights. Because the results are indeed unexpected, the price of the second round has not actually dropped much, and is still within one million for a single episode. Invisibly, the income gained is higher than the original price.

I'm thinking about 20 million more.

With this money, Lin Yutong felt confident. He sorted out the script he had written and printed it out. He decided to ask a few old professors to see how to make appropriate changes. But before he left the house, the phone rang. It was director Zhang

Wen said, "What? Director Zhang is in a hurry to settle the bill." This time, actors, directors, screenwriters, etc. all signed contracts based on basic salary plus dividends. If the film cannot be sold for the price, it will be less. If it is sold,

Regardless of the price, a part of the profit will be shared. This is why the starring role costs NT$2,000 per episode, but in the end he gets NT$800,000. Naturally, the director and screenwriter also made a lot of money.

Zhang Wen laughed loudly on the phone: "Mr. Xiao Lin, come out for a cup of tea. I want to talk to you about something."

Lin Yutong understood something as soon as he put the phone on the phone. When he rushed over, he asked straight to the point: "Do you want to make a second part?"

Zhang Wen poured a cup of tea and said, "We really have this idea. It's still the same cast, only a few less important people have been replaced. The quality of the script and the shooting will definitely not be bad."

I'm afraid this is not Zhang Wen's intention alone, but the entire crew's intention. After all, apart from being actors, these leading actors do not have the potential to become stars. Even if they are used in dramas, they will not have many starring opportunities. Most of them do not have the potential to become stars.

They are supporting roles, making a living. Some even find jobs in drama troupes, but their income is actually not stable. When they walk on the street, everyone can call out the names of the characters they created, but their own names are not heard by the audience.

I can’t remember. There are actually many actors of this type. They need acting skills, dedication and dedication, but they just don’t have the potential to become a star. When someone like this can be called a starring role and the income is relatively good, no one will

Be willing to let go easily.

Of course Lin Yutong had to invest, and money would be transferred to him. "I have to read the script first. If I am sure that the quality is OK, then I will go ahead and shoot it."

"Don't worry about that." Zhang Wen smiled, "Everyone knows that the first part is brilliant, and the second one will continue to be brilliant, so we can look forward to the third and fourth parts, right?"

Just be aware of it. From now on, I may not be looking at the crew, but what I want is quality.

The two agreed, and Lin Yutong didn't stay too long. He went directly to the home of an old screenwriter. This old Mr. Yao was over seventy years old and had rarely produced scripts independently in the past few years. Lin Bo also hired others to pay him a high salary.

Check. Lin Yutong brought some fruit with him when he went. The old man was very polite and said, "I watched your two episodes earlier. Oh my... I didn't expect that a girl as old as you could write such a historical story.

.It’s very touching, and I can see that you not only put your heart into it, but also your emotions.”

Lin Yutong smiled and said, "This is what's left. I just finished writing it and I'll show it to you." After spending a year in my spare time, I wrote and rewritten it, and finally it was finalized.

Mr. Yao took it and put on his reading glasses, "Well, if you trust me, just put it here. I will contact you after reading it."

"No problem." Lin Yutong responded hurriedly. The old gentleman is older, but he is different from the young people. If he can keep reading for four or five hours a day, it is considered good. Plus when revising, she didn't think about it.

I hope it can be over before the summer vacation. Just as he was about to stand up and say goodbye, the old man pressed his hand down again, "Wait a minute, girl, I'll show you something too."

When the old man tremblingly took out a handwritten script from the drawer, Lin Yutong was shocked, "This...how long does it take to complete the writing? After I changed it in the middle, I still have to wait for it to be copied."

"I'm not used to using that computer." The old man pointed to the notebook on the side. "It's fine for reading news online. But I'm really not used to using it for writing. As soon as I sit in front of the computer, my mind goes blank.

.It’s better to write with a pen!”

Not only do you write with a pen, but you also write with a fountain pen. Nowadays, with gel pens, very few people use fountain pens.

Lin Yutong carefully opened it and saw that it had been two hours until the nanny came to pour tea and woke her up.

"How is it?" Yao Lao raised his head, took off his glasses, and asked Lin Yutong.

"Good!" Lin Yutong was a little excited, "It's really good."

"What's so good about it?" Yao Lao asked again.

Lin Yutong closed the script gently, ""Food Doctor" is completely different from the previous films like God of Cookery. Many of the films on the screen now use fantasy and exaggerated techniques to create an amazing dish.

But yours... can be said to be epic. What you are talking about is the real food culture. Every dish and every allusion is an inheritance." It also includes etiquette and even clothing, which are very important to culture.

Inheriting and spreading it is definitely of positive significance.

Only then did Mr. Yao smile, "Is it really so good?"

Lin Yutong nodded. She was definitely not the kind of person who would be the God of Cookery with a bowl of egg fried rice. After only reading the first part, she had basically determined the value of this script.

"It took me six years to complete it." Mr. Yao pointed to half a room of books, "Many things have to be found in historical materials, so I want to find a good owner for it..."

Lin Yutong was stunned, "Me?" She was not sure, "Why me?" There was no advantage in age.

Yao Lao laughed, said yes, opened his laptop, and clicked on a program, "Look at this, is it you?"

It was the New Year's Eve dinner program that Zhou Xiao filmed before the Chinese New Year.

"You're not old, but this pastry is definitely not those palace pastries sold outside. The one you make is the most authentic." Mr. Yao smiled, "When I was young, I actually met one.

I’ve seen the old chef cook, and it’s like this. Even if I don’t taste it, I know that this is the feeling I want. How about it? Do you dare to do it?”

Lin Yutong put his hand on the script: "Dare! I promise to make you the most original thing." Don't use exaggerated acting skills, don't make things up to show your height, just use our etiquette, service, catering, etc.

Just wait for the inheritance to seep into it. It is the most moving in itself.

"Then take it." Mr. Yao had no other request, "I won't let you eat."

After returning home with this thing in hand, Lin Yutong was afraid that the original manuscript would be accidentally stained or lost, so he quickly asked Gao Han to help him make copies and put the original away properly. After Lin Bo came back, Lin Yutong showed it to him and said, "Also

I have to go to the company's legal department to sign the contract. In addition, I hope to give 20% of the total proceeds to the old gentleman."

Twenty percent? This number is quite large.

But Lin Bo still nodded, "It should be." It took six years and I had to admire the old man's perseverance. "However, the investment is quite large."

Lin Yutong shook his head, "No! I watched two or three episodes and estimated that for 60 episodes, I will control the cost at 60 million."

If you think about it this way, the investment is actually not as big as that of The Supreme Jianghu filmed by Director Chen. The budget for The Supreme Jianghu is 120 million, which is only half of the investment.

Lin Yutong looked at Zhu Zhu again and said, "Mom, are you interested in getting involved? No money, just clothing investment, how about you give me 5%?"

Zhu Zhu snorted and said, "It's a good plan."

Lin Bo glared at her and said, "Don't think that your daughter is taking advantage of you. If you shoot according to her idea, if you don't get the clothes right, it will become a peripheral product. It's not necessarily that Qihuang will have new performance growth points."

so good?

It's really that good! Lin Yutong spent a week at home before reading the script carefully. In fact, apart from the costumes and accessories, there is nothing else used in it. If you don't want to use the ready-made buildings in the film and television base, you can

Just hire someone to build it again. It doesn’t need to be bright, as long as it is close to reality. The cost is only hundreds of thousands, and one million is considered a top dollar. Then there are the props. The props of this film are actually antique kitchens.

Utensils, ingredients, and things in the kitchen really don’t cost much. The rest is the ingredients. To be honest, it’s really not expensive to eat. Apart from these expenses, the rest is the actors. As for the actors,

Lin Yutong still doesn't want to use celebrities. As long as the acting skills are good, the rest is not a problem. He can find some familiar old actors.

After careful calculation, I felt that 60 million was more than enough.

Calculating the money in his hand, he found that the total amount transferred this time was a little over 70 million, but more than 10 million of it belonged to Jiang Qiao. He only had more than 60 million, but 20 million of it was reserved for Jiang Qiao.

The second part of the serious crime restart. There are still more than 40 million left, which is the separate account of my group. If you don’t touch the private property in your hands, the money is not enough. It seems that you still have to ask the company for more money.

Apply for some funding.

While he was thinking about it, Jiang Qiao called again, "Don't leave me if you make money. I will continue to invest with you." This little girl has good fortune, and it is quite worry-free to make money with her.

"Okay." Lin Yutong actually felt that his family could afford it.

With a plan in mind, she flew to Jiangcheng overnight and went to Hengdian to meet Director Chen. Director Chen had been working on the big screen and hadn't made a TV series for several years. But Lin Yutong still wanted to give it a try.

"...Sixty million?" Director Chen frowned, "This is just a small investment. How about I take a share."

The director's fee is already part of the cost. Lin Yutong hopes to change the model, "If you can use your technology to invest in shares, that would be great." The implication is that your money is not used, but you will be responsible for the filming.

If the auction is good and the price is high, you will make more money. If the price is not high, I'm sorry, I will lose the money and you will have no money.

Asking a famous director to take action, but still with such an attitude? Director Chen chuckled again, "How much percent can you give me?"

"The screenwriter gets 20%, you get 20%, and the entire crew including the actors gets 20%." Lin Yutong calculated, "The remaining 40% belongs to our investors."

This ratio is quite tempting, "How much profit do you expect to make."

Lin Yutong stretched out a slap.

Five times the profit?

"That's 300 million?" Director Chen took a breath, 20% of 300 million is 60 million. This number is really not small. He is not an indecisive person, "Okay! Let's make a decision.

After the filming is completed here, we can start. To be honest, this is a good subject. Don’t say 20%, just give me 50%, and I will do it!”

You should have told me earlier! You are so cunning and the money has been agreed upon, now you are being pretentious.

After arriving in Jiangcheng from Hengdian, Lin Yutong wanted to leave Gao Han and Han Xin alone, and wanted to use this excuse to go to the fourth master's place to stay for a few days. But these two people were really capable, and they were inseparable even if they lived together.

When I came back from Jiangcheng, I saw Zhu Guangbin at home.

"Aren't you with the crew?" Lin Yutong came out after taking a shower and changed clothes, and asked Zhu Guangbin who was playing games on the sofa.

Zhu Guangbin shouted "die, die, die" several times, then put down the phone and said, "I'm looking for you on business."

"Say!" Lin Yutong drank half a bottle of water and waited for him to speak.

Zhu Guangbin asked in a low voice: "We are planning to make a web series ourselves, what do you think?"
