Although he was mentally prepared, when he saw Jiang Shan, Deng Chao could not help but be stunned for a few seconds.

Too young!

It's not like the director's department!

Although it is not a big business, Deng Chao was still prepared quite well.

Graduation dramas have always been the top priority for senior students. Their 98-level performance class has pieced together 70,000 to 80,000 yuan. This money has been saved by them in the past few years.

Saving scripts, preparing props, and stage designs are all places that cost a lot of money.

Although the school can also provide some help, if the stage visual effect is good, this part of the money is inevitable.

This time I came to meet the screenwriter of "Charlotte's Troubles". Deng Chao also wanted to find out with Jiang Shan and reveal how to sell the script, and then he would go back and discuss it with his classmates.

The price should not be too outrageous, otherwise I would not be able to go back and explain to my classmates.

As for this book alone, Deng Chao liked it very much, especially the characters such as Charlotte in it, which was simply written.

From this perspective, the price of the script is slightly beyond your psychological expectations, so it is okay to be a friend in the future.

"Junior brother, what do you say about this script?"

After the three of them sat down, everyone ate and chatted. During this period, Deng Chao asked tentatively.

“Not selling!”

Not selling?

Hearing his words, Deng Chao was anxious. Why would he let himself read this book if he didn't sell it?

He really has a special liking for this script!

Jiang Shan, who was breathing from the side, continued, "But if Brother Chao wants to use it in the graduation drama, as long as it is not commercially available, it will be fine. It's just that I won't sell this script to the public."

Hearing Jiang Shan’s explanation, it was Deng Chao’s turn to sit still.

He waved his hands repeatedly and said, "That won't work. Even if we use it, we can't use it for free, right?"

It is not an exaggeration to say that this book is to solve his urgent needs. Even if Jiang Shan doesn't want to sell the copyright to the outside world, it is reasonable, but he cannot be greedy and accept it with peace of mind. Otherwise, how can he stay in the circle in the future?

With mature scripts and screenwriters in it, this saves them too much time in rehearsals, which is very helpful for the final performance effect.

If someone gives him enough face, he will also want to give him a reply, right?

Deng Chao insisted on giving, but Jiang Shan refused. The two of them were in a stalemate. In the end, Kong Heping, the middle man on the side, helped to persuade him, and the two of them gave up.

But in the end, Jiang Shan didn't choose to ask for money.

Jiang Shan’s requirements are very simple. "Charlotte’s Troubles" is a graduation drama and has no problems performing in school theaters. There are only restrictions on the number of shows (up to one show per week during the graduation performance). The rest of the other requirements are nothing to involve commercial profits.

Of course, the two parties also signed a paper contract, signed and sealed, so as to avoid disagreement over this matter later.

Until he bid farewell to Jiangshan, Deng Chao was still a little unbelievable. Has the agreement been completed?

With a relaxed and happy mood, Deng Chao returned to the experimental theater of the Central Academy of Drama. Recently, the students from the 1998 performance class have almost lived in the theater.

It is a good choice to always feel the atmosphere of the stage.

Yesterday, Deng Chao showed everyone the script of "Charlotte's Troubles" and finally chose this one unanimously.

In their opinion, although time travel and dreaming of returning to high school appeared many times in different film and television works at home and abroad, it is rare to think of love and comedy like "Charlotte's Troubles".

Whether it is in terms of lines, character portrayal or plot arrangement, "Charlotte's Troubles" gives people a very novel feeling, which is rare in the drama market in recent years.

It cannot even be said to be rare, but has never appeared.

In the past two years, the drama market has mainly been based on old official theater troupes such as the Chinese dialect, the People's Art Theater, and the Shangdian. The main performances are previous classic dramas, including classic dramas from China and abroad.

The only thing missing is innovation.

Most folk drama groups are making small fuss and are not in a hurry at all.

Just a simple calculation can be understood. Labor costs, behind-the-scenes technicians (including lighting, sound effects, prop conversion), etc., screenwriters, directors, producers, artistic directors, stage supervisors, etc., plus venue rents, all hinder the development of folk drama teams.

Lighting, sound effects, and prop conversion are not only necessary for performances, but also for daily training.

Just lighting and sound effects synthesis, technicians need hundreds to thousands of times to operate a show. In addition, some dramas require choreography and vocal music, and these costs are also expensive.

It is unrealistic to say that Deng Chao wants to change the current situation of the drama market.

Now he wants to use the good script of "Charlotte's Troubles" to prepare for his graduation drama.

When Deng Chao walked into the experimental theater, everyone on the stage was rehearsing one of the first acts of "Charlotte's Troubles" according to the script.

Seeing Deng Chao coming back, the classmates who were preparing for the audience immediately surrounded him.

"Old Deng, how about it?"

Deng Chao smiled and raised the contract in his hand, "It's done!"

"How much?"

At this time, everyone is most concerned about money. After all, if you spend too much on the script, it will inevitably affect the effect of the stage.

"I didn't ask for money." Deng Chao's smile even more.

After hearing what he said, several classmates couldn't help but exclaim, "How is that possible?"

"I really didn't ask for money."

After taking the script, Deng Chao began to become so beautiful after getting the script, and boasted: "How about it, my connections are OK!"

Everyone didn't believe this. They snatched the contract in his hand and then saw it.

The screenwriter does not ask for money, but there are also requirements, that is, as long as the script is not commercialized, the sales tickets can be used at will, but the performance times have been made.

Generally speaking, graduation dramas will start from February to April next year. During this period, the number of sessions will be arranged according to everyone's actual situation, and generally there will be no less than two sessions a week.

However, this contract strictly controls the number of shows and time, and performs at most one show per week.

According to Deng Chao's idea of ​​the screenwriter, in order to ensure the best performance and maintain everyone's condition, we will make requirements for the performance sessions.

This point seems a little strange to me carefully, but everyone present didn't think much about it.

After the script was decided, no one cared about these details. The most important thing now is the script.

"When will the rest of this book arrive?"

"I'll get it myself tomorrow afternoon."

Hearing the classmates’ questions, Deng Chao responded, “Tomorrow we all meet with the screenwriter and have a meal together.”

"Yeah, not bad."

"I think it's OK."
Chapter completed!
