I was rebellious by nature, but I ended up becoming a top influencer.

In the short drama market, when newcomers enter the industry, their scripts are usually bought up in bulk for around 1 to 3 yuan. Better scripts can be negotiated for up to 5 yuan. This is a buyout method.

但是大部分编剧都喜欢分成的方式，也就是1.5-2万底薪+总流水消耗3-5‰或者分帐后1-3%的提成，如果编剧有实力，这个分成比例还能再议。

Assuming the total transaction volume is 100 million, the commission would be at least 300,000.

Assuming the profit after deducting costs is 10 million, then the minimum commission would be 1000.

These two revenue-sharing methods depend on how much money the investor is willing to invest in the project.

The production cost of a wildly popular drama series is at most 500,000 yuan, with the majority of that cost going to the actors. However, the promotional spending can reach tens of millions of yuan, and the final revenue may exceed 100 million yuan.

The promotion method for distributed short dramas is different from that of other online dramas. It relies more on spending money to buy promotional traffic. The more traffic you spend, the higher your final revenue will be.

Wang Jingjing directly offered two commission methods, which made all the screenwriters present look on with envy.

Guan Lu immediately disagreed: "Qi Tian is just an intern editor. His scripts haven't been tested by the market yet. I feel that this commission-based system is unnecessary."

Wang Jingjing looked at Qi Tian unmoved: "This is Qi Tian's manuscript. Qi Tian has the right to choose how to receive payment."

If Qi Tian still doesn't know how to do things at this point, then his thirty years in this other world have been wasted: "Director Wang, I choose the base salary + profit-sharing model."

Only a fool would choose a buyout.

Wang Jingjing nodded, then turned her gaze to Sun Jing: "Sun Jing, inform the legal department to draft the profit-sharing agreement later."

The specific commission amount will definitely not be discussed at the meeting, and it will require negotiation between both parties. Even though Qi Tian is a screenwriter, he is qualified to negotiate the specific percentage of the script's revenue.

Sun Jing was marveling at how Qi Tian, ​​the sixth oldest, had turned his life around when she heard Director Wang mention her. She quickly replied that she understood, while inwardly she was ranting and raving again.

It turns out that only Supervisor Guan liked to boss me around, but now even Director Wang has started to do it!

No way, I want the bonus too!

Seeing the many screenwriters looking at Qi Tian with envy, Wang Jingjing was very satisfied that she had stirred up everyone's emotions: "The production cost of this drama is tentatively set at 5000 yuan. The total revenue will depend on the response after it is released. I personally estimate that the promotion revenue will be no less than 50 million yuan. So, everyone is welcome to invest. The minimum investment is 1 yuan."

"Is the company open to external co-investment?"

"Over 5000 million spent?"

Guan Lu was stunned for a moment, then saw the screenwriters' eyes light up.

The short drama market operates differently from traditional film and television dramas, and its methods are naturally more flexible and varied. As long as you are willing to invest in it, you will reap the rewards.

How long does it take to film a short drama? At most ten days! If things go smoothly, it can be filmed in a week. The remaining time is for editing and uploading. The overall cycle won't exceed a month; anything longer than a month will cause major problems.

What is the payback period for short dramas?

Three days!

If you don't make money in three days, you're losing money!

The production company will then directly cut off any further distribution.

Therefore, with a budget of 50 million views on Google Ads, it's highly likely that "Let's Get Married" will make money.

Moreover, the minimum order is 10,000.

For the screenwriters present, this is only about a month's salary.

Everyone was tempted.

Normally, these short dramas are only open to speculative investors, and these speculative investors are usually powerful ones; they are rarely open to ordinary employees.

Wang Jingjing's move was definitely an attempt to win people's hearts.

Who wouldn't be tempted to see their money appreciate in value within two months? Even I'm tempted myself.

Therefore, Guan Lu could only watch helplessly as his subordinates, who had followed him for many years, began to fawn over Wang Jingjing, a woman he could not do anything about.

In the workplace, no relationship is as real as money.

A good leader is one who enables their employees to make a lot of money.

A leader who holds meetings every day, makes empty promises, and uses manipulation tactics is just talking nonsense.

……

After the meeting, Qi Tian was called to Wang Jingjing's office.

"Are you feeling any better?"

Instead of getting straight to business, Wang Jingjing gestured for Qi Tian to sit down at the tea table.

Qi Tian nodded: "Thank you for your concern, leader. I'm much better now."

"You need to get more rest. You'll have to take care of this drama a lot!" Wang Jingjing's nimble hands quickly brewed a cup of Pu'er tea for Qi Tian.

Boiling water, rinsing tea leaves, brewing tea – a series of skillful movements, pleasing to the eye, clearly showing a tea master.

In addition, her tight-fitting bodycon dress made her figure even more alluring, and Qi Tian quickly lowered his head to pick up his teacup and drink tea.

"I don't allow any celebrities to be chosen for the male and female leads. The company's trainees aren't very willing to act in short dramas. What are your thoughts on this?"

The two sat facing each other at the tea table. After drinking a few cups of tea, Wang Jingjing crossed her legs, revealing her slender calves and rounded thighs encased in stockings under her pencil skirt to Qi Tian.

Qi Tian said without hesitation, "I stated at the meeting before that we don't need to invite any celebrities; I can play the male lead. If Director Wang is willing to play the female lead, that would be even better."

When an opportunity presents itself, it's always better to take the initiative than to wait passively, even if it makes you seem impatient for quick success. You need to show your leader your determination to succeed.

Even if you don't get the chance in the end, your boss will remember your confidence, and next time there's an opportunity, it will most likely fall to you.

Hearing Qi Tian flatter her so blatantly again, Wang Jingjing immediately giggled, her trembling body making Qi Tian dizzy.

"You are indeed quite handsome. With a little makeup, you wouldn't be much worse than those trainees. The question is, do you have any acting skills?"

Wang Jingjing didn't mention herself, but looked at Qi Tian with great interest.

"Forget about acting skills, just being handsome is enough!"

Seeing that Wang Jingjing did not refuse, Qi Tian smiled confidently: "If a short drama requires acting skills, what kind of short drama is it? What's needed is emotion, full of tension, full of excitement, that's all."

Before the audience could even notice the male and female leads' acting, the camera switched scenes. Under such circumstances, their acting simply couldn't shine. Furthermore, I had leading roles in the drama club during my university years, so I have some acting experience. If Director Wang is worried, he can have the director audition me.

Wang Jingjing stared intently at Qi Tian. Seeing his proactive attitude, she thought for a moment and said, "I'll take you to see the director this afternoon. If he agrees, I'll let you play the part."

"Thank you so much, Director Wang! You're like a second parent to me. From now on, I'll do whatever you tell me to do!"

Qi Tian was overjoyed; it seemed that not rushing to leave the company was the right choice.

Having tens of millions invested in short dramas is much better than blindly trying to figure things out on your own.

If all goes well, I'll become a mid-thigh influencer in two months at most.

Even the lowest-tier mid-tier influencers can save themselves a lot of effort.

Wang Jingjing immediately understood the implication in Qi Tian's words, and she laughed, "So you're preparing to enter the entertainment industry?"

Although short dramas are difficult to make stars of, if Qi Tian really succeeds in acting in one, he can use it as a springboard to participate in more short dramas and web dramas, which is a way to quickly become famous.

The main reason why trainees in the group are unwilling to take this route is because they are too concerned about maintaining an idol image. But Qi Tian has no such concerns at all.

Qi Tian didn't reply. Instead, he took out his phone, turned on his fast-paced audio, and handed it to Wang Jingjing.

"Director Wang, listen to this song. Do you think it's suitable as the theme song for this short drama?"

Wang Jingjing took Qi Tian's phone in surprise.

"A theme song? What kind of theme song does a short drama need?"
