Little Farmer Big Star
Chapter 440: Go to the magic city
It took Li Fan a whole day to finally finish the script for the 15 episodes of "Yue Nv Sword".
This is his first script. After I finished it and checked it twice, I was still very satisfied. It not only retained all the plot and charm of the original, but also made some detailed processing and polish.
After checking that it was correct, Li Fan sent the script to Hu Fei's email address via email.
At this time, Hu Fei should have returned to the magic city and started the preliminary planning work.
According to Hu Fei, they will first go to the TV station with the script and sign a purchase contract with the TV station to ensure that the TV series produced in the end can be profitable.
This is also the usual practice of some smaller film and television companies. Their small business is small. If they invest millions in making a TV series and no TV station is willing to buy it in the end, they will lose their money.
Although "Yue Nv Sword" should not appear, there is no TV station buying situation, but for the sake of insurance, Qingyu Film and Hu Fei decided to find the TV station first.
The TV station is also happy to do so, because it can keep the price down, and only need to give a price that is not much higher than the total investment of the producer, and it is very likely to negotiate.
And this one-time buyout is also the favorite thing for TV stations, especially big TV stations.
In this way, in the future, no matter how high the ratings of this drama are, and no matter how much the TV station earns, it is their own and has nothing to do with the producer.
Of course, if a drama has a high ratings and becomes popular, although the producer can only watch the TV station make money, it is not entirely impossible to get a share of the pie.
Because the producer can also sell this very popular TV series to other channels, such as video products, online video websites, and even some overseas TV stations.
The hotter the drama, the higher the selling price, and it is pure profit.
Therefore, the practice of selling this kind of TV series to the TV station before filming is good for both the producer and the TV station.
If which party sees the prospect of the show the most accurately and signs the contract that is most beneficial to him, then it will undoubtedly be the biggest winner in the end.
Of course, this has nothing to do with Li Fan. He has already sold the TV series copyright of "Yue Nv Sword" to Love Entertainment Film and Television, and later the "Yue Nv Sword" TV station is either earning or accompanying. It has nothing to do with him.
He will not participate in the negotiation of these matters. What he needs to do is to supervise, or help the entertainment film and television, make "Yue Nv Sword" a real martial arts drama, and must not insult the original.
...
November 12, early morning.
Li Fan got up early, and today he will leave the village temporarily and go to the magic capital.
Yesterday, Hu Fei called and said that the crew of "Yue Nv Sword" had been formed, and it was time to select the role actors.
Regarding the candidate of the protagonist A Qing, it seems that Hu Fei intends to arrange a person, but Hu Fei has not yet agreed, and will talk about it when Li Fan passes.
This caused Li Fan's brows to be slightly frowned. It is not uncommon in the film and television industry to directly arrange role candidates. If the candidates arranged above are indeed suitable for the role, it does not matter.
If it's not suitable, it might cause some unpleasantness.
However, everything can only be said after reaching the magic capital.
In addition, regarding the TV station's purchase of the TV series "Yue Nv Sword", listening to Hu Fei's meaning, it seems that there is no agreement.
However, there are several satellite TVs that have expressed interest in "Yue Nv Sword", but the price is not high, which is worthy of being able to make the entertainment film and television pay back.
After spending so much effort, it is obviously not the hope of entertainment film and television to sell for the price just paid back.
"It seems that things don't seem to go as smoothly as imagined!"
Li Fan murmured, bid farewell to his parents, and went out. It is estimated that it would take at least ten days to delay.
Fortunately, everything about the farm is progressing in an orderly manner, and Li Fan does not need to worry about it.
At the entrance of the village, Li Fan purposely stopped and chatted with Wang Qian of the engineering team.
Now, the construction of the Nongzhuang Hotel (named Xianyuan Building by Li Fan) has come to an end. If soon, it will be officially opened at the end of this month.
The completion of Xianyuan Building will greatly reduce the pressure on Xianyuan Xiaozhu.
Later, Li Fan asked Taozi to use a large truck to send himself to the county seat, using the large truck as a special car, which was very handsome.
When he arrived at the county seat, Li Fan had to take a bus to the provincial capital to take a plane. The ticket was at two o'clock in the afternoon, so there was plenty of time.
...
No words all the way, at 5 pm, Li Fan walked out of the Magic City Airport.
As soon as he walked out of the airport, Li Fan saw a young man in his 20s with a big sign in his hand that read "Meet Mr. Li from Funan Province".
Although the method is old and makes the surrounding people curious and wait and see, this method is very practical.
Li Fan smiled and walked towards the young man.
He knew that this was specially arranged by Hu Fei to pick him up.
"Hello, you are Xiao Liu." Li Fan said as he walked to the young man's side.
The young man watched Li Fan walk straight towards him, his expression changed, and he kept staring at Li Fan. After hearing Li Fan's question, he secretly said, "Sure enough."
Then he put down the sign he was holding in his hand and said with a smile: "Hello, Mr. Li, this is Liu Qi, welcome to the magic city."
Li Fan laughed, shook hands with Liu Qi, and said, "Thanks for your hard work."
Liu Qi hurriedly said: "Mr. Li is too polite. Director Hu said that you are an honorable person. Please, Mr. Li, my car is parked over there."
While speaking, Liu Qi also pointed his finger in a direction.
Li Fan nodded and motioned to Liu Qi to lead the way.
...
The residence that Hu Fei arranged for Li Fan was a high-end hotel called "Qingdu Hotel" near Qingyu Film and Television.
Li Fan has no objection to this.
He doesn't care too much about the material conditions, good or bad, he is used to living.
Liu Qi drove the car directly to the parking lot of Qingdu Hotel.
The car was parked, and after the two got off the car one after another, Liu Qi was going to help Li Fan with his luggage.
Li Fan smiled and waved his hand, and said, "Xiao Liu, give me the room card. I can go by myself. Go ahead and do your job."
Liu Qi was taken aback for a moment, and then said: "Mr. Li doesn't need me to help you carry your luggage up?"
Li Fan nodded lightly.
"But, Mr. Li..." Liu Qi wanted to say something more, but then he saw the faint smile on Li Fan's face, which seemed to contain the meaning of non-rejection, and he shrank in his heart and quickly changed his words: "Okay, Mr. Li, this is the room key."
After speaking, he took out a card from his bag and handed it to Li Fan.
Li Fan took the room card and took a look at it by the way. It was made quite exquisite and magnificent. Then he smiled and said, "Thank you, Xiao Liu, you can do your job."
Liu Qi hurriedly said, "Okay, Mr. Li, then I won't bother Mr. Li."
Li Fan nodded, and then walked towards the gate of Qingdu Hotel with his suitcase in his hand.
