Superstar starts from the Film and Television Academy

The first thing you need to know is how to make sure you're getting the right amount of money for the job you want.

The first thing you need to do is to take a look at the newest version of the book, which is the one that you've been reading.

Of course, in the original "Tomb Raider", in order to give the relics to the country, all the way from Germany on a motorcycle was chased back to China, the slutty operation will certainly not have.

After almost a month, the script of the first season was finally approved. Still enough.

However, Han Fei didn't do so, but went directly to Penguin Video, with whom he had worked before, and with whom he was very familiar.

The reason why they chose Penguin Video is not because it has the best conditions, but because Penguin Pictures, which is also a member of Penguin Group, has talked to Han Fei about buying the film adaptation rights of "Tomb Raider's Notes".

"So, the film and TV rights to Tomb Raider's Notes are actually in your hands?" The person who received Han Fei was still Director Wei, who was vaguely impressed with the project, after all, all of Penguin Video's homemade series were broadcast on Penguin Video, and the two sides' management communicated closely.

Han Fei shrugged his shoulders, "To be precise, I should have the full rights."

"........"

Chapter 161 A-rating.

Knowing Han Fei's intentions, Director Wei said that he couldn't make a decision on such matters, and could only help him introduce the management of Penguin Pictures to each other.

Of course that was enough for Han Fei, but what Han Fei never expected was that the person Director Wei introduced him to was actually Chen Wu, the current CEO of Penguin Pictures.

In fact, Director Wei was also surprised, because his level was not enough for Chen Wu, the Buddha.

"Then CEO Chen, you guys have a chat, I still have some things to take care of first." The way Director Wei looked at Han Fei on his way out had changed a bit again.

Chen Wu looked refined and refined, and it was only through conversation that Han Fei knew that this one was a top student at Tsinghua University.

Han Fei sighed for a while, "It's true that there is still a golden house in books, if I had worked harder, I might have become Chen's junior."

"Hey, Jing Ying is an art school with a five-star rating, Mr. Han should not belittle himself, and it's quite good to engage in art, I won't lie to you, I was the business captain of Tsinghua University's drama club at first, and my remaining classmate even invited me to see that [Donkey's Water] of yours at Tsinghua University!" In fact, at the time when he saw the play, Chen Wu said that if he had the chance to talk to the author of the play, so he was still very happy to see Han Fei today.

Well, Han Fei really didn't see that the CEO of Penguin Pictures is actually a young artist, of course, from the development of Penguin Pictures in the past few years, Chen Wu is definitely not a simple young artist, belonging to the Penguin Group's wholly-owned subsidiary Penguin Pictures produced several big IP productions, and these big productions are actually aired jointly on a direct competitor platform like Kiwi Video.

This boldness alone had to be breathtaking.

"Thank you Mr. Han for solving the doubts in my heart for many years ah, then, let's get back to business, shall we?" Chen Wu chatted with Han Fei for a while, mostly about the metaphors of "Donkey's Water", and Han Fei's perspective on the work brightened Chen Wu's eyes.

Han Fei nodded, "Good, this is the script for [Tomb Raider], as well as the budget and planning book."

Chen Wu wasn't polite and picked up the script to look through it, not paying much attention to it at first, but soon his face showed all sorts of surprised expressions before he closed the script a long while later.

"Saying that I'm not afraid of Mr. Han's joke, I don't come from an artistic background, and I don't really understand many of the scripts that people take, but this script of yours is quite graphic and eye-catching, it's a good script, but as far as I know, Penguin Pictures had actually mentioned this project before, and then it was shelved because of copyright issues ........ "

Han Fei's heart jumped, Chen Wu's move to show weakness was indeed clever, the average person might not really look at him as an amateur, except that it was completely ineffective for Han Fei who used it often.

"Chen was right, Penguin Pictures did talk to me about buying the rights at the time, but I refused."

Chen Wu took a sip from his teacup, but didn't put it back on the table, instead holding it in his hand and smiling without saying anything, obviously this was waiting for Han Fei's follow-up, if the answer didn't satisfy him, serving tea behind would mean a send-off.

"Because at the time, I wasn't sure if your company wanted to do an adaptation or just stock it as IP." Han Fei's answer was dripping with water.

Chen Wu nodded and also put down his tea cup, apparently accepting Han Fei's statement, "Well, I understand a creator's obsession with his own work, but business cooperation always comes back to business, your budget plan with the planning proposal, I also generally looked at it, it's very standardized, the conditions are also appropriate, I only have one question."

"How does copyright come into play?" Chen Wu paused.

Han Fei's heart finally came to life, chanting, "The proceeds can be split in proportion to the investment, and the sequel Penguin Pictures will have the right of first refusal."

Chen Wu laughed lightly for a moment, "Mr. Han, don't you think we're at too much of a disadvantage with this proposal?"

"I'm sure you've heard of it before, but to be honest, I'm more interested in the Penguin Video platform. If it doesn't work out, I can try other platforms." Han Fei simply spread his words out and said.

Chen Wu looked a bit ugly, he had known Han Fei before meeting with him and knew the man's style, and as expected, he was still as strong as ever, even if he didn't have much of an advantage on the surface.

However, as Han Fei had said, he himself had the ability to invest, film and even promote, all that was missing was a platform, and if he was really forced into a rivalry, it would not be beneficial to Chen Wu at all.

"Alright, half of the investment is Penguin Pictures, but the film must have the Penguin Pictures logo activated in the credits."

Han Fei readily agreed to Chen Wu's conditions, and he was well aware that Chen Wu's concession wasn't about how good his negotiation skills were, but rather that the other party didn't know the value of the [Tomb Raider] IP.

From Chen Wu's point of view, this was just a relatively interesting project, similar projects he had to come into contact with almost every day, it wasn't too unusual, what he valued more were those A-grade productions, this kind of small project he wasn't too interested in, perhaps as he said, the reason he came to see Han Fei today was just to chat with him about the drama.

Of course, this was only a verbal intent to cooperate, the real signing of the contract would definitely involve many legal provisions, and negotiations with the Penguin's implementation personnel would be needed.

For this reason, Han Fei even specially invited the relevant legal affairs to mine the contract word by word, the more cautious to treat these giant enterprises, because if there are loopholes in the contract, you can't even sue them for the idea of rising, such as Disney Earth's strongest legal department to understand?

Eventually, Han Fei and Penguin Pictures finally came to an agreement, and thanks to Penguin Pictures, Penguin Video rated this web series, which is less than 10 million investment, an A grade.

However, this rating isn't exactly a benefit, as although you can get a high 70% cut of the [membership fee + advertising], you lose your guaranteed status, which isn't a good thing for a small-budget series, as it's likely to go down the drain if the episodes aren't exciting enough.

Han Fei had reason to believe that this was Chen Wu's greeting behind the scenes, and it was clear that he wasn't optimistic about [Tomb Raider]'s earnings and wanted to use it to discourage Han Fei.

"Looks like it's still not doing enough, but it's still being looked down upon?" The moment Han Fei walked out of the Penguin Building the corner of his mouth raised a sneer.

Chapter 162 was still relying on connections.

Jiang Qinghou was busy on the set, but looking at his expression, he really couldn't call it pleasant, and in fact it was exactly like that, he originally thought that by joining the Emerging Directors Program, he would be immediately taken seriously, but in reality, he still had to play second fiddle to some big name directors, and was still working as an assistant director, still doing odd jobs.

Of course, his current situation is already quite good compared to other students in terms of the same period, there are a lot of a year has not found a real job, was discarded by the family, are almost autistic, some directly changed jobs as a photographer to go to the wedding studio to take pictures of people, some in the crew to be shouted to and fro, worse than the group performance over.

According to his classmates, Jiang Qinghou was already considered to be soaking in a honey pot, but, this was not the life Jiang Qinghou wanted, he knew everything about the crew like the back of his hand, he didn't need to be an errand boy to learn from experience, what he needed was a chance, a chance that would allow him to prove himself.

"Hey, Houzi, quick, come here, something good." A buddy who had joined Penguin Pictures a few years before Jiang Qianghou waved at him.

After ordering the field work, Jiang light marquis cursed and rushed over there, this was a desert area, the wind blew a mouthful of sand, and he could only speak with a towel over his face.

"What's wrong again? Did you kid see any wild lovebirds sneaking around there again?"

The dude rolled his eyes, "Fuck off, together dude is that creepy in your eyes?"

"Come on, you fucking peeked at that who almost got caught last time, and it wasn't the alibi I gave you ......." Jiang Qinghou hadn't even finished speaking before the dude covered his mouth.

"My lord, can you forget about this? If he finds out about this, do I still want to be in the circle?"

Jiang light marquis slapped off this goods dirty hand: "What the hell is wrong with you? It's okay, I'm leaving."

"Something's up, something's really up, look at your donkey temper." The dude accosted, "Not only is there something going on, but it's also a great good thing, you owe me a big drink."

"Two drinks, I've been fucking around for so long, what else can I get for a good thing?" Jiang Qinghou took the scarf off and spat out a mouthful of sand.

"The company let you go back to the headquarters, it is said that there is a web series, the joint venture named you, you kid can ah, and such a hard relationship ......."

What the back of that buddy said, Jiang light marquis is completely inaudible, pulling his legs out and running to the tent area, shouting as he ran: "Dog days, if you lie to me, be careful of the night chrysanthemum is not safe!"

Arriving at the tent area, indeed everyone stared at him with a kind of envy along the way, which made Jiang light marquis' spirits rise, was that dude telling the truth?

When we arrived at the director's tent, the director said, "Hou Zi, I really don't want to leave you behind, but the company wants to transfer you back, so I can't stop your future, right? If you kid gets rich in the future, don't forget about me."
