You need to know that there is an interesting psychology that runs among the members of the film fraternity. They look at someone or something that is successful and start taking that route assuming it will make them successful too. Here is one classic example.
A very big novelist who is quite senior is currently on a mission. His point is “Kona Venkat is getting 1 crore so I will get at least 50 lakhs for my scripts.” So, he is going around trying for offers and projects by selling his novels as scripts. But those who heard this are grinning about it.
They say a deeper layer is involved in this. Kona gets that money not just for writing stories. It is also for setting up the projects, speaking to the heroes, directors and convincing them. Many top range directors and heroes listen to him. Roughly speaking, for project setting 90 lakhs and his story remuneration along with brand image is 10 lakhs remuneration. Hope the senior writer opens his eyes.
