For the first time, Shen Jun felt that he was carrying a heavy burden and that he had many people's lives in his hands.

After all, screenwriters are not like actors. If the movie flops and fails, the road ahead will only be blocked.

He is different from artists like Cai Xiaoya.

When the company goes bankrupt, actors can set up their own studios or sign contracts with other companies.

Without her to "raise" him, the prince with 50 million in vain and a bleak future would have no choice but to die.

Considering Wang Jun's "life and death", Shen Jun felt that he had to work hard, and bankruptcy was imminent.

Shen Jun liquidated his assets, and the system rewards plus the recent Cai Xiaoya, Grandpa's movie remuneration, and advertising income are probably quite a lot of money.

To Shen Jun, this money is like magma in a volcano, hot fire, and landmines that prevent her from going bankrupt.

She must spend all this money, spend it all.

Shen Jun opened the webpage idly and browsed related news about the bankruptcy of film and television companies.

——Qingwen Entertainment invested 400 million in the filming of the palace drama "Dayue Dance Capital". Because the plot structure was too "ethereal", the ratings hit a new low. Since then, it has failed to recover and the company is facing bankruptcy.

——Shanying Film and Television stocked up on dozens of male IPs during the IP craze, but faced development difficulties in the later stages. The company was stretched thin and was in danger.

——Director Zhou Yue and his team left Mang Entertainment and wanted to create two costume dramas, but they encountered the Korean and ancient restrictions on broadcasting and television. The only modern blockbuster is not affected by the two policies. The female lead cheated and the male lead went whoring. Nuchang was labeled as an unscrupulous artist and could not be successfully released. Now Zhou Yue is heavily in debt and has nowhere to go.

When Shen Jun saw the last piece of news, he was filled with emotion and envious to death.

Why is it so easy for people to go bankrupt?

And is it so difficult for her to go bankrupt?

Shen Jun sat in the office and thought carefully for a long time, and decided to learn from the bankruptcy "experience" of his predecessors.

She called Wei Jie and asked her to give her statistics on several IP-producing websites on the market. She wanted to screen some IPs herself.

By the way, she asked: "Under normal circumstances, where do film and television companies go to sign up potential actors? Sit on the road? Or choose some internet celebrities online?"

"ha?"

This question asked Wei Jie, and she said: "Nowadays, there are very few agents who will go out to scout potential artists on the road. As for Internet celebrities, there are also very few companies that sign contracts with them to transform into actors. Generally speaking, either from the 18th-tier actors or Dig or train trainees."

Shen Jun thought for a while and said, "In the afternoon, you accompany me to the film and television base. Let's go squat and see if there are any potential actors."

Wei Jie looked confused: "Sister Jun, are you going to work as an actor in a film and television base? Do you want to poach people?"

Shen Jun said with a serious face: "Xiao Wei, don't think of me as so short-sighted. Am I that kind of person? I want to find some potential and capable artists from the supporting actors! Focus on cultivating talents. Of course, When choosing artists this time, I have to pay more attention to quality, and I can’t be like those dogs in Xiang Yimiaochi.”

Wei Jie: "...Okay, Sister Jun, I will accompany you this afternoon."

Taking advantage of her lunch break, Shen Jun browsed through all the major websites that Wei Jie gave her as the source of the IP novels.

Shen Jun doesn't read any of the books on the homepage list, and the points list is moved to the last page.

Specially select those novels with single-digit collections, single-digit clicks, and comments that can be seen as the novels that the author himself opened a small account to comment on.

Shen Jun spent two hours making some lists, contacting the copyright editor of the website, and planned to purchase the copyright of these books for development.

After reading the book list, the copyright editor of Jinjiang website looked confused: "Are you sure you want these books? How about I recommend some books to your company that have good data and have development potential?"

Shen Jun refused: "No need, that's all. I want to make these authors' books popular and remake them into popular movies and TV shows. You can give me a package price for these books. I don't need to take into account the poor data of these books." Come on, package it for me at a cheap price. Just use your website’s normal price, I don’t want these great books to be insulted!”

When the copyright editor saw the message from Shen Jun, he was silent for a while, and then said: "Six books, four movies and TV shows + audio + stage play, the package price is 6 million? Do you think this price is appropriate?"

For a large website like Jinjiang, it is not difficult to sell the copyright for millions even if it collects thousands of street articles.

However, the books selected by Shen Jun are not even considered street articles. They are books that are as cold as the arctic. Single-digit clicks will make people tremble with fear.

Jinjiang Copyright Editor, considering the possibility of further cooperation with Shen Jun in the future, quoted a conscientious price.

Shen Jun is also a straightforward person: "Is it so cheap? Then, if you sign for a longer time, I will give you a package price of 10 million!"

When the copyright editor saw Shen Jun's news, he was so frightened that he fell off his chair and quickly got up again: "Okay, we will issue the contract. Is there any problem?"

Shen Jun was afraid of having too many dreams at night, so he immediately said: "The contract must be released within one hour, so I will issue it according to your contract. I will not change a word here. Sign it immediately, and you will be paid if you leave the contract! If the one-hour contract cannot be released, Come on, I don’t want it anymore.”

The Jinjiang editor was so flattered that he immediately pulled out the template contract and quickly sent the contract to Shen Jun's company.

While waiting for the editor in Jinjiang to submit the contract, Shen Jun turned to the male video website.

As we all know, male videos often cost five million to tens of millions of words. They have a large structure and many characters. Not to mention that they are not easy to remake and adapt, and the copyright price is often upwards of five million.

Shen Jun selected two novels with a large structure from the ranking list.

A book called "Infrastructure Construction in the End Times" is about infrastructure construction in the wasteland. The subscriptions are good, but the audience is not large.

Because it is an apocalyptic theme, once it is remade, there will be a lot of special effects production involved. There are no apocalyptic TV series in China, because the policy does not allow it, and the cost is high.

The other is a suspenseful ghost story called "I Made a Fortune from Terror Mines".

This book is suspenseful and funny, but because it involves supernatural beings, it will be very difficult to pass the radio and television review. Moreover, the map is also very large, and the cost of post-production special effects is also very high.

Shen Jun pulled out the book list and went to consult the website editor.

Shen Jun revealed that he was the purchaser for the company’s copyright department.

The other editor didn't waste any nonsense and said straightforwardly: "These two books are both books with high subscription sales on our website's rankings. The package price of the four film and television items of the two books is 8 million, and the audio copyright is 1.2 million. There are also , your film and television company needs to pay our website a business fee, 10% of the total copyright price."

The total copyright of the two books has exceeded 20 million, and Shen Jun spent 30 million just to buy the copyright today.

As soon as the money was spent, she immediately became poor.

Shen Jun was worried about the long nights and dreams, so he immediately said: "The contract will come out in one hour. I will follow your template and I won't change a word."

Generally, a copyright contract takes at least a month.

If the legal affairs on both sides are tougher, they may go back and forth for months or even half a year.

This is the first time since this editor took office that he successfully signed a multi-million dollar contract in one day.

In the afternoon, when Shen Jun and Wei Jie were preparing to go to the film and television base, the two websites just sent the contract to the company.

Currently, the company does not have a purchasing department, so Shen Jun and Wei Jie negotiate the contracts themselves.

Wei Jie went through both contracts, and the more she looked at them, the more she felt something was wrong.

She pointed to one of the clauses and said to Shen Jun: "Sister Jun, this contract is too overbearing. Look at this, the copyright we bought for nearly 10 million must be developed within three years."

Shen Jun applied sunscreen and asked her casually: "Is there any problem? After we get it, we will develop it immediately! Isn't the purpose of buying the copyright just to create content?"

Wei Jie was choked for a moment, and then she collected her thoughts and said, "No, boss. A TV series may encounter various problems from script creation to post-development. Three years is not a long time, but a short time." It’s not a short time either. People in the industry generally sign contracts for five years when buying IPs. In three years, if our drama is half finished, the copyright will be taken back.

"If the author is easy to talk to and willing to renew the contract, that's fine. All we need is to give him another copyright. But if the author refuses to renew the contract, then all our investment in the pre-production of the project will be wasted. This loss is very huge! "

Shen Jun put on sunscreen and looked at her: "Xiao Wei, sometimes I think you are really short-sighted. This is the contract, no need to change it, just stamp it and give it to others."

——It’s better if it can’t be photographed, but it’s better if the loss is huge. How can she happily go bankrupt if the loss is not big?

Hearing Wei Jie describe the serious consequences of this clause, Shen Jun felt even better.

If she could go bankrupt because of these two projects, she would wake up laughing even in her dreams.

Wei Jie flipped through the list of copyrighted books purchased by Shen Jun again, briefly scanned the contents, and almost fainted without taking a breath.

Wei Jie held her head on the spot and said with a broken face: "Boss, are you crazy? What kind of novels are these! Why do you buy such novels!!"

Seeing her reaction so fiercely, Shen Jun knew that this bankruptcy would be smoother. He suppressed his inner joy and said, "What's wrong? Xiao Wei, as my assistant, you have to take a long-term view and not look too close. You know ?"

Wei Jie even cried: "Boss, the online data for these Jinjiang novels you bought are so cold that they can't even be considered street novels. There are also these two male pornographic novels. Although they are red texts, these two There is no way to film this novel!”

"One is about the end of the world, and the other is about ghosts and ghosts. Sister Jun, have you ever seen any domestic TV series with the theme of the end of the world?"

Shen Jun looked indifferent: "Someone has to come and eat this first oral sex. Since no one is doing it, how about we do it? If we succeed, we will make a profit, and if we fail, we will lose. I have already prepared for the worst. In this turbulent market, among those who can get up, who is not putting all their efforts and fighting against the odds? "

Wei Jie: "..."

In order to screw up these two big IPs for male videos, Shen Jun added: "By the way, let's start looking for a screenwriter team for "Infrastructure Construction in the End Times" and "I Got Rich from Terror Mines". We have found a screenwriter team. , I want to personally guide you.”

Wei Jie: "Okay boss."

Although he looks calm on the outside, he feels miserable inside and suspects that the boss will be possessed by his spirit one day.

Do you want to ask a magician to come and show it to the boss?

Around 2pm.

Shen Jun and Wei Jie arrived at the film and television base.

In order not to be recognized, Shen Jun changed into a set of casual sportswear, put on a mask and a fisherman's hat, and wrapped herself tightly.

Outside the palace at the east gate of the film and television base, a group of extras were resting under the shade of a tree.

Shen Jun carried a bottle of mineral water, found an open space in the shade of a tree, squatted down, and started chatting with the fat sister in palace maid clothes next to her.

She asked: "Sisters, let me ask you, do group performers like you have a contract with a company?"

The fat palace maid was eating steamed buns. When she heard this, she paused and turned to look at her: "Sisters, do you think we group actors will be signed by the company?"

Shen Jun turned his face and looked at this fat palace maid who weighed less than 200 pounds.

This sister is really too fat, and her facial features are really ugly because they are squeezed by the fat on her face.

At this moment, a system prompt sounded in Shen Jun's ears:

[Ding ~ The host is asked to sign a contract with a 200-pound actress and promote her to become the number one female lead. The reward for successful mission is 50 million. There is no penalty for failed mission. If you give up the mission, you will die immediately. ]
