The man of scumbag Gulnazar

Chapter 167 A simple exchange of words

"Mr. Lu, do you think Ms. Jing Tian would be interested in acting in a TV series?" Qin Tian asked cautiously.

Upon hearing this, Lu Zheng's relaxed brows furrowed slightly, and he asked with some confusion, "Why consider TV dramas? Aren't movies better at making actors famous?"

Clearly, Lu Zheng has his own inherent understanding and views on the film and television industry.

Qin Tian sighed inwardly, thinking that this President Lu didn't seem to know much about this field, but he still patiently explained on the surface: "President Lu, in principle, I shouldn't be the one saying these things. After all, in workplace interactions, it's not appropriate to say too much or too deep when the relationship is not yet close."

However, I've had the opportunity to watch some of Jing Tian's film and television works before, and I've noticed that there are indeed some problems with them.

After hearing this, Lu Zheng asked with great interest, "Oh? What kind of problems are they? Tell me, I've never heard of them before."

Qin Tian muttered to himself, "Hmph, nonsense. If you knew these things, how would they make money off you?" But he maintained a polite and humble smile, preparing to explain his point of view in detail.

But she kept talking: "First of all, as a newcomer, it's not a problem for Sister Jingtian to be cast as the female lead right away."

However, pairing her with too many experienced and highly skilled veteran actors could cause problems! In comparison, Jing Tian's relatively immature acting skills would be difficult to conceal, easily exposing her shortcomings!

At this moment, Lu Zheng and Jing Tian listened intently, while Qin Tian, ​​seeing this, became even more enthusiastic and continued to elaborate on his own views.

After a brief pause, he continued, "Besides, big-budget productions don't necessarily guarantee the success of making actors famous!"

Take a look at the movie "The Great Wall" that was released not long ago. Although it was directed by Zhang Yimou and produced with a huge budget, the final quality of the film was not satisfactory!

There are many similar examples, such as the films *The Warring States*, *Red Cliff*, and *The Crossing*.

As soon as the words left his mouth, Qin Tian suddenly realized that the situation was bad—oh no!

How could he forget that Jing Tian also starred in the film "The Warring States"?

However, Qin Tian did not stop talking, but braced himself and continued: "Finally, and most importantly, we need to know that audiences need to buy tickets to watch movies in theaters."

But TV dramas are different. They are completely free to watch, so their audience is naturally wider and they are more likely to attract fans.

Look at Liu Yifei. With three classic TV series, "The Story of a Noble Family", "Demi-Gods and Semi-Devils" and "The Return of the Condor Heroes", she quickly accumulated super popularity and transformed into a hot star in the entertainment industry.

Known as a "blood bank," even though he occasionally appears in a few poorly received films, he still has a stable and loyal fan base supporting him.

After Qin Tian finished his long-winded explanation, Jing Tian burst out laughing. Perhaps it was because Qin Tian's description of the "big blood cow" was so funny that she couldn't help but laugh.

However, Lu Zheng seemed to be deep in thought.

After laughing, Jing Tian's smile gradually faded, and his expression became serious as he began to carefully consider every word Qin Tian had just said.

As time went on, she found herself increasingly agreeing with his views.

Looking back on her filming days, she recalled how terrible it was. Surrounded by experienced and skilled senior actors and veteran performers, she had to be extremely careful wherever she went, as if walking on thin ice, afraid of offending someone if she wasn't careful.

Although she wasn't afraid of offending people, she wasn't an outgoing person to begin with. If she could be a little more open, perhaps she wouldn't have to be so cautious, but the reality was just so unpleasant.

She felt particularly exhausted by the overwhelming insults and abuse online.

At this moment, Qin Tian was sitting quietly to the side, silently watching the two who were deep in thought, without interrupting their thoughts.

He gently picked up the coffee cup in front of him, elegantly sipped the rich and aromatic coffee, then put the cup down and continued to wait quietly.

After a long while, Lu Zheng finally snapped out of his reverie. He turned to look at Jing Tian beside him and asked softly, "Tian Tian, ​​what are your thoughts on this matter?"

Jing Tian slightly raised her head to meet Lu Zheng's concerned gaze and slowly said, "Uncle Lu, to be honest, I think Qin Tian's words make a lot of sense. And for me, whether I act in movies or not is really not that important." After saying that, she sighed softly.

Hearing Jing Tian's answer, Lu Zheng turned his gaze to Qin Tian opposite him and said sincerely, "Xiao Tian, ​​what you just said, although I don't know if it's entirely correct, I'm indeed willing to give it a try. However... as for the script?"

He paused slightly, a hint of expectation and probing in his eyes, the meaning of which was self-evident—he hoped that Qin Tian would personally write the script.

Qin Tian breathed a sigh of relief when he heard that all the other party needed to do was agree to act in a TV series. TV series were much easier to arrange; movies were far too difficult.

Hell difficulty!

Qin Tian confidently stated that he had no problem personally writing the script, since he happened to have several ready-made scripts to choose from.

For example, the story of the backstory of the novel "Sito" is quite wonderful, and it can even be called Jing Tian's representative work.

"The Glory of Tang Dynasty" is also a good option. Of course, compared to that, those film projects are somewhat less satisfactory.

"Sure, no problem, Mr. Lu. But you'll need to give me some more time so I can calm down and carefully consider the details and direction of the script." Qin Tian never mentioned the payment once he started.

Talking about money hurts feelings, and talking about feelings hurts money!

However, how could Lu Zheng, the big boss in the workplace, overlook such an important detail? He said generously, "Of course, we're talking business, President Qin. Regarding this script, I plan to give you 25% of the shares as a screenwriting fee."

Upon hearing this, Qin Tian's face instantly showed a dumbfounded expression (◎_◎；), as if he had been struck by lightning, completely stunned.

Qin Tian knew Lu Zheng was generous, but he didn't know Lu Zheng would be this generous.

It's worth noting that, despite the immense popularity of the drama "The Story of Minglan," the highest offer Qin Tian received for screenwriting fees was only 10%.

He had originally considered investing some of his own money, but now it seems there's no need to think about it anymore; the 25% stake alone is already quite substantial.

Lu Zheng offered such generous terms partly out of genuine gratitude for Qin Tian's guidance and advice. Although he couldn't be sure if these ideas would actually work, he was still willing to give them a try.

On the other hand, he also hoped to motivate Qin Tian to go all out and carefully craft an excellent script through this method.

After all, everyone understands one principle—if you want a horse to run fast and steadily, you must first prepare enough fodder.
