A good director can't refuse a good play.
What's more, Lin Feng's promise of 500 million yuan for the production cost of the episode made Spielberg even more interested. 5 million to shoot a TV series, enough for him to hire the best actors and the best production team. And occasionally shooting TV series, playing tickets, is also a very comfortable thing. What's more, such an excellent script, Spielberg believes it can bring him an Emmy, which is equivalent to the film Oscar.
His first TV series will be able to win the Emmy Award, this honor undoubtedly makes Spielberg excited and intoxicated.
Although Spielberg has made a decision in his mind, Spielberg thinks differently why Lin Feng has to invite himself to make this TV play.
With Lin Feng's financial resources, we can invite the best TV drama directors in the United States. I believe that in terms of making TV, those excellent TV drama directors are no worse than ourselves. But Lin Feng has found himself. Isn't he afraid of being laughed at by Hollywood for being shut up?
At first, Spielberg did not understand, but also thought that Lin Feng wanted to play the emotional card relying on "airplane love". However, just now I heard that Lin Feng wanted to buy a TV station and build it into a national TV station, so Spielberg immediately understood.
A new local TV station is also the first TV series to be launched. In such a competitive TV circle in the United States, Lin Feng needs "topics" if he wants to succeed, and he needs to be the gold medal director of Hollywood movies to make "topics" of TV series.
Spielberg had no choice but to shake his head. He didn't expect that his fame would be used by Lin Feng, but he didn't mind. He has no pursuit in his film career. Occasionally, he also wants to play with tickets and make a series, proving that he can not only make a good film, but also become a classic. This "prison break" script is extremely satisfying for him, and Miller is also the best choice for the protagonist.
Of course, in order to take revenge on Lin Feng for his "use", Spielberg also made trouble for Lin Feng.
"I can accept your invitation, but Jessica must be the heroine of the play." Spielberg pointed to Jessica with a teasing smile.
Although Jessica is not a top-notch Hollywood star, she has made some famous films such as "chamber night" and "dark angel of the last days". Later, with the director of Spielberg's "wronged hero" and popularity soared, to her this Hollywood star to shoot TV series is a bit too shameless.
Lin Feng was slightly stunned.
"Stephen, is Jessica suitable for the role?" Lin Feng hesitated a little. Jessica is so sexy and beautiful. Is it suitable for Sara?
"Ha ha, don't worry. I know the hobbies of American audience. They like beautiful men and women, especially Jessica. If you want to make a splash in American TV, her participation will definitely help you a lot. But it depends on whether you have the ability. Please move Jessica Spielberg pointed out. Although Spielberg is making trouble for Lin Feng, he is actually helping Lin Feng.
Like Lin Feng, although he is interested in playing tickets, he doesn't want to fail, and is more eager to succeed than anyone else. Now Jessica's popularity in the United States is rising rapidly. With her as the heroine and her own directorship, it can be said that this play has become half popular before shooting. In addition, Lin Feng's sensitive identity will also be the news of media hype. Spielberg believes that this prison break will be a success beyond imagination.
As for whether Jessica agrees or not, Spielberg has 100% confidence that Jessica will agree. In terms of her prestige, if she invited Jessica, she would certainly agree. Otherwise, Jessica would not follow Lin Feng to Hollywood to visit herself. But Spielberg doesn't want to invite Jessica by himself, which makes him feel that he owes Jessica. Therefore, if Spielberg wants Lin Feng to owe Jessica this favor, he can still get a good reputation for helping new people. Why not!
As for whether Jessica is suitable for this role or not, in Spielberg's view - for the American audience, any role is suitable as long as it is a sexy creature like Jessica. What's more, Spielberg has seen several of Jessica's films, and he appreciates Jessica's acting skills very much.
That's what Spielberg said about Jessica.
It has to be said that Jiang is old and spicy. At this moment, Spielberg calculated everything, and finally calculated Lin Feng. After all, he was in the entertainment industry of the United States. He had been in this vat for decades and had been exposed to these things every day. His experience and experience in this field are far beyond Lin Feng's comparison.
Different environments bring up different talents! Spielberg is no doubt an expert in dealing with people and grasping people's will!
In fact, as Spielberg expected, Jessica readily agreed to be the heroine of prison break at Lin Feng's formal invitation.
Jessica's visit to Hollywood, in addition to accompanying Lin Feng, is also to meet Spielberg, the Hollywood gold medal director. Although her popularity is soaring and she has several movie scripts waiting for her to sign up, Jessica knows that a bad movie in Hollywood is enough to destroy a good actor. If you can get to know such a big director as Spielberg, it is undoubtedly very helpful for Jessica's acting career. Now that spielbergken is the director of the TV series, what can she not agree to. What's more, she also likes the script very much and the role of Sara.
"Cheers Lin Feng, Jessica, Miller and Spielberg held up their champagne to celebrate the initial formation of prison break.
As for the production cost, Lin Feng invested $30 million in advance, and after shooting five episodes, he invested the remaining $30 million. Most American dramas are made with one episode and invested with one episode. However, Spielberg is used to having enough budget before making a movie, and Lin Feng is not short of money now, so he agrees.
As for the reward, Spielberg's reward is $700000 per episode. Compared with his salary for making Hollywood movies, it's almost the same. However, his Hollywood films also have global box office dividends. This time, Spielberg didn't ask for advertising dividends. After all, he is also the first time to make a TV play, which is also a bit of a ticket player. As for Jessica, the female owner, she was paid $350000 per episode. Miller, the male owner, is a newcomer. According to the market, it's about $30000-50000 at most, but Lin Feng gave it $100000.
Lin Feng is very clear that with prison break, Miller has become the most popular actor voted by Fox's official website. One hundred thousand dollars is not a big deal. Lin Feng thinks it's worth spending $100000 an episode to win over the superstar of the future American TV series. You know, after Miller became famous, the pay for an episode rose to $400000.
After that, Spielberg began to select supporting roles and set up a shooting team for prison break. After all, his previous film crew, I do not know whether they are willing to work with him on prison break. Jessica and Miller began to be familiar with the script, preparing for the study of script lines, characters and backgrounds.
This time, the director is Steven Spielberg, the Hollywood gold medal director. They have to play twelve points. Otherwise, the failure of the show will not only affect the play, but also the whole acting career.
Lin Feng is rushing to buy his first TV station. Of course, it's still early to buy a TV station, which is also a private matter. Lin Feng went to get down to business first and bought the engine of "unreal".
However, before purchasing the engine of fantasy, Lin Feng went to see Abby Cohen.
"Lin, I have to admit that you are always a miracle man." Abby meets Lin Feng in the office of Goldman Sachs.
Goldman Sachs: the world's first professional investment bank, founded by Mr. Goldman Sachs in 1861. Goldman Sachs is famous for its strong corporate culture. It has been adhering to the main body strategy of investment banks for more than 100 years. It rarely involves in commercial banks, retail brokerage and other fields (but not completely). It is the first investment bank on Wall Street.
Abby Cohen has some newspapers on his desk. The front page headlines are all about the story of Spielberg's going to shoot prison break, and Lin Feng is also an absolute news figure.
Lin Feng picked up a copy of the Washington times.
The Washington times, a newspaper under the leadership of the extreme right-wing Korean humanist, is absolutely hostile to China. Today's front page headline is about Lin Feng investing in prison break and inviting Spielberg to be the director. In the article, the Washington times did its best to criticize and ridicule Lin Feng. Ironically, Lin Feng destroyed the statue of liberty and the White House last time he came to the United States, and the world trade center was also destroyed. Half of the five major symbolic buildings in the United States fell down, calling Lin Feng the coming of Satan. He also called on the American police to be careful of Lin Feng's whereabouts. I'm afraid that his coming to the United States this time will destroy the other half of the five symbolic buildings in the United States.
As for Spielberg and Jessica's involvement in the TV industry, the Washington times even called on the US FBI to take a good look at Spielberg and Jessica to see if they were involved in Chinese witchcraft, so as to muddle into the TV industry.
Lin Feng shook his head after reading it. The Washington Times is really sensational. However, I secretly admire the laws of the United States, and such reports can also be reported. Freedom of speech, but also too free! If it were in China, it would have been harmonious for a long time!
As for another Washington newspaper, the Washington Post, it's a bit more peaceful, but also bitter( To be continued, if you want to know the future, please log in www.qidian.com , more chapters, support authors, support legitimate reading!)
