012 Script Bounty

In a beverage shop called "Maihan" on the University of Science and Technology campus, Li Mo met the director who had been busy all afternoon again. He was not old but had a beard and wore a pair of black-framed glasses, full of artist-like appearance.

At this moment, the other party was sitting at the bar chatting with another crew member.

Then Li Mo walked up to confirm and asked, "Director Zhou Fujian?"

Seeing the stranger suddenly coming beside him, Zhou Fujian held the glasses frame with one hand and said in surprise, "Nemo, the ugly fish?"

"That's a pseudonym, just call me Li Mo."

"Oh!" After confirming that he was the author of "The Desolate Kingdom", Zhou Fujian stood up and stretched out his hand, "I didn't expect that I would be so destined to be so destined, I admire him for a long time."

"Haha, it's over-reward."

After shook hands with the other party seriously, Li Mo sat on the high stool next to him and ordered a glass of juice.

Obviously, the crew member next to him also learned about Li Mo's origin through the director's introduction and praised him directly, "I didn't expect that such an excellent author was actually a college student, who was amazing."

"What's wrong with Director Zhou's script? It depends on you're worried."

After a few nagging words, Li Mo took the initiative to bring the topic to the micro-film script. After all, in addition to meeting his own leader, he also came for business.

"Hi." Seeing Li Mo mention this matter on his own initiative, Zhou Fujian sighed helplessly, "Our script was originally purchased by a car company. In addition to the screenwriter's fee of 500,000 words, there is also a post-production reward. If it is broadcast 100,000 times per on-demand website designated by the investor, the author will have another 10,000 yuan bonus."

"Then I should have followed the process to conduct the script audition, but the planning manager named Qian took over the matter. I don't know where to get a script. Since they promised that there was no problem, I could only shoot it. Who knew that there was a problem today. The producer found out that the script was plagiarized, and the screenwriter in charge also evaporated. The investor is not stupid. He persuaded him that he would make another book that satisfies them within a week. Otherwise, in addition to resolving the cooperation, we will also sue us for breach of contract..."

When he said this, Zhou Fujian looked angry. When he thought of this, he could only pick up a drink at hand and drink it all in one go.

As a director, this is the most depressing thing. There are people, equipment, and venues, but there is no script.

"oh…"

Li Mo nodded, probably understanding the whole story.

Then Zhou Fujian put down his cup and asked, "Brother, you just said in the group that you can help me find a suitable script? Isn't it a joke?"

Li Mo thought about it and replied, "I have the script...I have it. If I really need it, I can handle it within two days..."

As soon as these words came out, Zhou Fujian and the crew member next to him couldn't help but be stunned. One script every two days? Although it was a micro-film, it was too exaggerated...

"Uh, brother Li Mo, did you write this script yourself, or did you use another channel?"

Zhou Fujian then asked carefully, he didn't want Qian Weiqiang's incident to happen to him again.

"That's right, I've written some similar manuscripts to practice writing before..." Thinking of the particularity of these things, Li Mo had to find an excuse for a moment, "As for the quality of the script, it must be guaranteed, but it's a little trouble..."

It seemed that he understood what Li Mo meant. Zhou Fujian, as a fan of the other party, promised, "Don't worry, as long as the manuscript can be passed, I will help you apply for a price increase, and the screenwriter's fee of 10,000 yuan plus 5,000 yuan. I believe that for the interests of the company, the Linda Film and Television CEO will not be confused about this. Moreover, everyone knows this at the moment. Now that the filming is delayed by one day, the crew will have to spend a lot of money. If it can be solved earlier, it will definitely be no less than the 5,000 yuan."

Zhou Fujian also knew the results of the book "Sinking Kingdom". If he wanted to write a script, it would naturally affect the creation of the book, and he would definitely give the author some benefits.

However, obviously his understanding was a bit biased. Li Mo then explained, "Actually, this is not the reason. I will just say it. You don't have to help me apply for a price increase in the screenwriter fee. It's enough to have that subsequent reward, but this 10,000 yuan needs to be entered into the card before I can take out the notebook... As for the reason... it's hard to say it for the time being..."

Hearing Li Mo's request, director Zhou Fujian and the staff next to him looked at each other, showing doubts.

"Of course, I also know that such a requirement is a bit inconsistent with the rules. If the script is not good, I will definitely refund the money."

The reason why Li Mo made such a request was very simple - he first needed some funds to buy goods in the plane mall, and then reselled them to the other party.

Even though Li Mo personally has to bear certain risks, he still has some confidence in thinking about the subsequent high-priced rewards and the sweetness brought by "The Desolate Kingdom".

"This little money is nothing..." Zhou Fujian smiled awkwardly. Out of trust in Li Mo, he planned to provide the funds first. "I will use the mobile banking to transfer it to your account after I go back later. Are there any other problems?"

"Also, the heroine of the new script continues to let Han Xiuyin take charge." Li Mo then expressed his second request, "Do you know this actor?"

"Well, no problem. Actually, I am optimistic about this girl, and it is Qian Weiqiang's opinion to let her leave." Zhou Fujian nodded immediately, "As long as there is a new book, it's easy to say."

"Since that's the case, I have no other problem. After receiving the payment, I will print the new script and hand it over to you within two days."

Seeing that the other party was so generous, Li Mo was not playing tricks. After all, the other party was also his own reader, and he had not even produced the work, so he felt quite silly.

After discussing the script, Zhou Fujian, who was originally a little sad, also relaxed a lot. He still trusted the author's strength, otherwise he would not have been rewarded as a leader.

After chatting with the other party about the novel and crew for a while, Li Mo stood up and said goodbye on the excuse that he wanted to update.

"I'll trouble you with that book. The money will be transferred to your account in a while."

Zhou Fujian, who was in a hurry to make money to buy the script, no longer stayed and was also preparing to go back to the hotel he rented.

After saying goodbye to the two crew members, Li Mo walked back to the dormitory and began to browse products that meet the requirements one by one in the plane mall.

Since movie scripts cannot bring direct returns, they need to invest in shooting to show benefits, and there are great risks. Therefore, as in reality, the script prices in the plane mall are not expensive compared to other products.

Even so, the price of the script is still several levels more expensive than online novels, starting from 200 thousand words.

Therefore, the starting price of the 20,000-word micro-film script that Zhou Fujian needed was 4,000.

Li Mo's net income is about five or six thousand yuan when he accomplishes such a business.

Of course, what he valued more was the rewards in the later stage, that is, the rewards of 10,000 yuan per 100,000 people per on-demand. If this work can be as popular as a novel, the income of tens of thousands of yuan will be no problem.

For Li Mo, who is in the capital accumulation period, every fund in the early stage may become a leverage fulcrum for leveraging greater wealth.



"Dingding~Dingding~"

As soon as he returned to the dormitory, Li Mo received a message from the bank, "Your account was transferred to 10,000 yuan at 21:00 on June 1st."

Seeing this message, Li Mo was shocked. He didn't expect that the other party was so fast, and it seemed that he was disturbed by the script.

Since the funds were received, he did not delay and immediately entered the plane Taobao Mall to buy new products.

This time, Li Mo bought a micro-film script called "Remote Controller" with a 20,000-word entitled "Remote Controller", which cost 4,000 yuan and contributed two points of membership.

It’s not that Li Moshe is reluctant to buy more expensive and better books, but those scripts with a thousand words of four or five hundred or even more expensive also have considerable requirements for shooting equipment and shooting standards. At least in Li Mo’s opinion, it is difficult for such a small crew to meet the conditions.

Therefore, he chose the most appropriate low-cost feature film.

"I hope I won't be returned..."

Thinking of the venture capital that he was facing a loss of 4,000 yuan at the same time, Li Mo also prayed in his heart.
