Chapter 187 A Thousand Gold Buys a Horse Bone
In the morning, Hing Kee Tea Restaurant.
The young man with glasses sitting in the box opposite Yin Jun has a gentle face and a very kind smile, which also makes him look much younger than his actual age.
It is an honor for this man with glasses who is now a first-class screenwriter in TVB to be able to sit with Yin Jun for dinner today.
No wonder, this man named Huang Boming, although he is 32 years old this year and has worked hard in the screenwriting industry for 11 years, all the way to the top ten screenwriters in the TVB screenwriting department, but in front of Yin Jun, he is nothing.
Not to mention him, all the screenwriters in Xiangjiang don't have any capital to be proud and reserved in front of Yin Jun.
Only people in the screenwriting industry know how dazzling and rare it is to have Yin Jun's achievements.
Therefore, as soon as Huang Boming heard that Yin Jun wanted to ask him to help revise and improve the book, he took care of the matters in his hands and came over after completing the resignation procedures.
Yin Jun thought Huang Boming's speed was a bit slow at first, but he didn't expect this guy to be so decisive. He didn't take the time to be a script assistant for himself, but resigned directly, with a posture of "Boss, I will follow you in the future" .
With such determination, it is no wonder that Huang Boming can make such a breakthrough in the future.
"Brother Ming, I didn't think that you would come directly. This made me a little stressed." Yin Jun said to Huang Baiming with a smile while eating his breakfast.
"Qi Shao, you don't have to worry about anything, you can do whatever you want, as long as you give me a chance to learn." Huang Boming said without hesitation.
"Since brother Ming said so, let's finish the script of this movie before we talk about it." Yin Jun pondered for a while, "As for the place of work, I will leave it at your home for the time being, and if you have any questions, you can call me again Discuss, I don't know how?"
"I don't have a phone at home." Huang Boming said with some embarrassment.
"Oh, don't worry about this, you can leave the address later, and I will let the people from the telephone company install it tomorrow." Speaking of this, Yin Jun raised his hand, "Brother Ming, you don't need to say, although it is You work at home, but you still have to get the same treatment. Although I am not a company here, I can't treat you badly. Otherwise, what will your wife and children do?"
After a pause, Yin Jun said again, "It's just that at the beginning, you may have to work overtime, Brother Ming, to help me fill in the script that Brother Sanmao and the others urgently need. In terms of remuneration, 10% of the copyright of this movie %, it's all yours."
"10%!?"
Huang Boming was dumbfounded, he couldn't believe what he heard.
Yin Jun already knew how expensive the script was.
Needless to say, there are millions of TV scripts, and it is no problem for a movie script to easily get 1 million.
If Yin Jun said that 10% belongs to him, wouldn't it be at least 100,000! ?
During his 11 years in wireless, his salary has increased from the initial 250 yuan to 1,500 yuan before he left the job, which has doubled several times, but it is still very small, far from enough to buy a house, and his wife and son can still only squeeze in Inside a small rental house of 300 square feet.
Huang Boming dreams of changing to a big house of at least 800 square feet. It would be even better if he could move to a middle-class area.
This is the reason why Huang Boming left his job without thinking about it after hearing that Yin Jun asked him to be a screenwriter assistant.
As long as he can learn half of his ability from Yin Jun, or even a third, then he can have a good income and create better conditions for his family.
But during the study period, Huang Boming never thought about how much money he would get. As long as he could give 1,000 yuan a month, he would be satisfied.
If it is a little less, seven or eight hundred will do.
After all, this is getting guidance from Yin Jun, and he can better understand Yin Jun's screenwriter's ideas and methods. This is knowledge and experience that others can't buy with money, and it doesn't matter if he suffers a little.
However, Yin Jun gave him 10% of the benefit distribution as soon as he came up, which made Huang Boming so shocked that he couldn't be more shocked.
"That's right, 10%." Yin Jun nodded his head and said: "This is because you helped complete it alone, so it is 10%. If the script needs more people to perfect it in the future, then I will give more benefits. .”
"Why..." Huang Boming couldn't help but said, "Why so much, Young Master Jun! The screenwriter doesn't seem to be worth so much money, does it?"
"Then what do you think my current occupation is?" Yin Jun laughed.
"Well, you are different." Huang Boming scratched his head and said.
"It's all the same. If people with real imagination are given some opportunities, then they can also make good scripts." Yin Jun smiled, "For example, Brother Ming, have you been doing it for me all your life? Do you want to supplement and improve the script? Wait until later, give you a chance, your script can still be made into a movie, and then the box office will be a big hit, right? "
"Hey..." Huang Boming smiled embarrassedly.
"A screenwriter without ambition is not a good screenwriter." Yin Jun said, "But a screenwriter without a lot of training will not be a good screenwriter. As I have more and more things to do in the future, the time to perfect my creativity will come soon." There will be fewer and fewer, so I will definitely recruit more screenwriters. Brother Ming, you will leave after you have finished training. A group of screenwriters are well coordinated so that they can all learn and progress at work, and do a good job in the expansion and improvement of each book."
"Do you still want to recruit people?" Huang Boming asked in surprise.
"I have a lot of fantastic ideas, but I can't turn every idea into a script." Yin Jun said, "Brother Ming and you are enough for now. When the time is right, I hope to have at least 5 scripts." One to ten screenwriters can help with this.”
"Jun Shao, you really have a big heart." Huang Boming shrugged.
He still has a few apprentices in his hands, and they are all suffering wirelessly now.
However, Huang Boming is here for the first time now, and he doesn't know what kind of person Yin Jun is. He has to wait until his expanded and perfect script is completed and he receives the salary from Yin Jun, before Huang Boming can judge whether this person is worth his efforts help.
If Yin Jun just spoke beautifully, but was actually stingy, suspicious, irritable, and harsh, Huang Boming decided to suffer by himself, so that the apprentices would not have to suffer.
If Yin Jun did better than he said, then Huang Boming would definitely be willing to give his apprentices a better future.
"But there is one thing, I need to explain it to Brother Ming first." Yin Jun said, "Because the script is my brainchild, so when handing it over to the screenwriters to supplement and improve the script, it is necessary to sign a confidentiality contract... this It doesn't mean that I don't trust Brother Ming's character, I just want to set a rule for everyone, and also to avoid leaks that everyone doesn't want to see happen in the future."
"I have no problem here." Huang Baiming nodded, "But Jun Shao, are you really from the mainland? How do you know about this kind of secrecy system in Europe and the United States?"
"If you read more books and watch more TV, you will naturally know something." Yin Jun said calmly.
"I know what Junshao you are thinking about. You are not a TV station, so you can't occupy the highest position. Who dares to leak the script of the TV station? Don't say that people from Hong Kong dare not accept it, and people from other places don't dare to do so. But if it’s a personal notebook, then others don’t have too many scruples.” Huang Boming said eloquently, “If it were me, I would do the same, so it’s okay. There are no rules, no rules, I will be the first signed the contract."
Yin Jun breathed a sigh of relief.
Yin Jun doesn't know what Xiangjiang's current screenwriting industry is like, but basically no one works alone like him.
If you want to pull out a bunch of talents and fill in and complete the script for yourself, confidentiality measures are very necessary, and if a screenwriter like Huang Boming, who has certain experience and status, takes the lead in acknowledging such a system, then the rules of the entire screenwriting department will be Can stand up.
If Huang Boming took the lead in objecting, it would be really difficult to handle this matter. It could only be said that Huang Boming had to reluctantly let Huang leave in the end.
A good screenwriter is hard to find, but a good system is even more difficult to establish and improve. In order for the screenwriting department to operate better, rules must be more important than people.
Now Huang Boming agreed very happily, proving that Yin Jun's understanding of him is not wrong. This person knows current affairs, advances and retreats, and he is definitely a talent.
Thoughts flashed by.
Yin Jun took out two documents from the bag on the stool next to him, and handed them over: "Brother Ming, here is the story idea of "Owl and Dumbo" I wrote, and there is a more detailed outline. I hope you can help to fill in the details, and then it is best to have a detailed script for the shots. The second is a confidentiality contract, you go back and have a look, if there is no problem, sign it and bring it back, if there is any problem, we will discuss it later. "
Then, Yin Jun took another envelope from his bag and went over, "This is 10,000 yuan, which is used as an advance payment. After the script is sold, I will deduct it from your remuneration."
Huang Boming showed gratitude, and took these things: "Thank you."
Yin Jun knew that he had just resigned from Wireless, so he definitely needed some guarantees, but Yin Jun would not give him money in the same manner as charity, but took the way of advance payment, which seemed very equal, allowing Huang Boming to take Feel at ease.
As for why he didn't sign the contract before reading the script, Huang Boming also knew that it was because Yin Jun expressed his trust in him.
Such a young man considers things so thoughtfully that Huang Boming also understands that Yin Jun's success definitely comes not only from his talent, but also from his way of dealing with others.
Only such a person can deal with the three TV stations like a fish in water, and has achieved such a big name today!
Seeing that Huang Boming decided to work hard because of his generosity and trust, Yin Jun nodded secretly.
On the surface, 10% copyright income is indeed a bit high compared to Huang Boming's work.
But there is a saying in Huaguo called "a thousand pieces of gold buys a horse bone".
If you were so stingy from the beginning, who would want to start a business with you?
The difference between generosity and stinginess, in fact, the ancestors have performed it over and over again.
The most famous are Liu Bang and Xiang Yu.
As we all know, during the period of the Chu-Han struggle for hegemony, except for the last one or two years, Xiang Yu basically had a crushing advantage for the rest of the time.
But why in the end, Xiang Yu, who was so powerful and powerful, lost in a mess, and Liu Bang, who was basically a gangster, created the four-hundred-year-old foundation of the Han family?
Some people say that Xiang Yu's failure is because of his violent personality, capricious, and domineering behavior.
Hearing this, Yin Jun couldn't help but laugh.
How do you think Xiang Yu has a violent personality compared to Temujin who slaughtered thousands of cities?
How do you think Xiang Yu is capricious and domineering compared to Cao Cao?
The two people behind him were more extreme than him, and they all achieved great achievements in the end. Why did Xiang Yu lose?
The reason lies in this generosity and stinginess.
Xiang Yu doesn't think he is a hero, but he is actually very stingy. He has many talents under his command, but he doesn't know how to use them, and he is notoriously unwilling to give benefits to his subordinates.
He thought to himself, I can handle these things by myself, you are just an executor, you can change it to anyone, why should I give you my things? These are all mine!
Over time, who would still want to do things with Xiang Yu?
Don't talk about it, I can't even say good things in the end, I really help you do things because I eat too much.
But Liu Bang is different.
This little bastard before he became emperor was notorious for being ambiguous. He was good at making empty promises. Before he conquered the country, he said to his generals, I will seal this place to you, and I will seal that piece of land. The place is sealed to you.
What benefits do you want? Want money? no problem! When I conquer the country, you can have as much as you want!
Just running for this hope, countless generals united around him, desperately killing the heroic and invincible Xiang Yu for him.
Although a gangster is a gangster, he regretted taking down the country and killed many generals, but at that time, Xiang Yu was gone, and people had no place to repent, so they could only scold him for being dishonest up.
So from the stories of these two people, you can see that a person's achievements are actually related to his heart.
If you are willing to share the fruits of victory with everyone, then there will be more people who are willing to unite with you, do various things for you, and help you lay down and manage the country.
If you get everything for yourself and treat your subordinates like pigs and dogs, then you will be a little turbulent and a bit of a competitor, and your subordinates will definitely sell you without frowning.
The business that Yin Jun plans to do is very large, and he certainly cannot do everything well by himself, so he must use more talents.
Today's talents, no, talents from ancient times to the present have also sought their own interests. When you give him honor and money to satisfy him, and put more honor and money in front of him, to attract When he goes to get it, the talent will definitely work hard.
Because at that time, his efforts were not only for you, but also for himself.
For your own efforts, it must be more focused and attentive.
In this way, what you entrust talents to do will have the basis for success.
Come back.
The 10% equity that Yin Jun gave to Huang Boming is not much at present, at most it is more than 100,000.
But if you want to make a super blockbuster movie in the future, if you want to make a movie in Hollywood, then it is impossible to give a screenwriter 10% of the rights, and even the entire screenwriting team will not get 10%, otherwise the actors, directors, producers... Wait, how much should they take?
This requires Yin Jun to continuously improve and perfect the system, so that this reward mechanism can not only satisfy everyone, but also not affect his own income.
Yin Jun didn't find it difficult at all.
In the future, whether it is Hollywood or Huaguo movies, there are many ways to learn from, and there are many lessons from failures and successes.
If these things can't make everyone happy, then Yin Jun really went back to the previous forty-two years in vain!
