Chapter 156

Hearing the reply, Wang Jian's fingers kept beating on the table.

The strike of screenwriters and the decline of ABC in the film and television market make this giant completely crazy!

Indeed, since the three sci-fi blockbusters Star Wars 2, blade killer and Star Trek 3 were released simultaneously in 1982, and they all made profits, we can understand the audience's love for space science fiction.

With the popularity of friends, Seinfeld and Raymond, there has been a wave of comedy craze in recent years.

Looking at it roughly, the book has both the characteristics of science fiction and comedy, and has the potential of fire.

TV dramas that can be broadcast over wireless network generally use the most extensive channels.

These TV plays are all about low investment and high return.

ABC wants to shoot the extraordinary world view of the "abnormal creatures" is simply to abandon the tradition, to use dollars in exchange for ratings!

"Mr. James, I have to remind you that although the world view of the series of the strange creatures is already very grand."

"But this is just the beginning."

In his mind, Wang Jian flipped through the plot behind "the unusual." in the later stage of this work, the scene is not inferior to the rebel war in "Star Wars."

"Mr. Wang, are you afraid that ABC can't make those magnificent scenes?" James asked

"It's 19 years since the first star wars."

"All kinds of equipment, shooting technology and post production have made great progress."

"ABC's budget for a single episode is three times that of friends, about $2 million per episode."

"This is probably the total budget for the final battle scene of the first star wars."

"I don't think it's possible that every episode of abnormal creatures is fighting?"

A budget of $2 million for a single set?

Doesn't it mean that the production cost of a single episode is higher than the budget of prison break?

The three major wireless TV networks are really big dogs!

Wang Jian's fingers beat faster and faster.

James looked at the desk, then at Wang Jian, and said with a smile, "of course, I understand the writers' worries about the film and television of their works."

"In this respect, please rest assured. If ABC can get the authorization, we will invite several excellent Hollywood directors to shoot. "

"Of course, today I just represent ABC to put forward a cooperation intention to Mr. Wang."

"We are looking forward to the website and Mr. Wang's reply as soon as possible."

To tell you the truth, this time Wang Jian also had the feeling of being hit by other people's money.

Such a huge amount of investment, really not now the site, can afford.

Even after returning to the office by bus, Wang Jian continued to sigh: "this feeling of having no money... Is really miserable!"

"Wang, those are the three major wireless TV networks. That's ABC!" Tom said with relief.

"This is the top of the media food chain, just like the six major Hollywood film and television production companies!"

"And we are just a small literary website!"

To tell you the truth, if ABC wanted the authorization of "extreme Tao and demons" or even "Arcane throne", Wang Jian would not be so tangled.

But the double attributes of the book are very special.

"No! It's a literary website about to reach the listing standard! " He is a bit unwilling, take out website data.

From the current background data, the number of users of the website is close to the minimum standard of listing as shown in Goldman Sachs data.

"Prison break special forces" as long as a fifth of "prison break" powder absorption ability, you can start the listing process of the website.

In view of the current popularity of the Internet economy, we should be able to absorb enough funds to shoot "unusual creatures" alone.

However, although this can monopolize most of the interests, but also to bear all the risks.

On the other hand, if ABC is authorized to shoot the book.

With such a high budget, even if it fails, it should be like a failed blockbuster, "future water world" attracts a large number of fans, right?

In that case, the website can get more users.

And more users can make the website get higher valuation at the beginning of listing.

"How to choose?" Wang Jian poured himself a cup of black coffee and sipped it. "It's all money, and it's still a lot of money!"

Just when Wang Jian was very tangled.

He just left the studio, James is talking to his superiors on the phone."Yes, the writer hesitated." He recalled the situation here. "I think he's more like a businessman than a best-selling writer."

"In his face, I didn't see the joy of my own works, which can be high-quality film and television."

A moment later, James frowned. "Start now? I think we can still fight for it. "

"OK, I see."

When he hung up, James pondered and dialed another number.

"Hello, is this the deputy chief editor's office of the New York Times?"

"I'm James of ABC, and I can publish it now."

"However, in the original manuscript, still need to make some changes."

"Replace some negative words with neutral ones."

When he hung up, James sat on the sofa and looked up at the ceiling.

"It's up to Wang Jian to decide whether to copy or pay homage to the guide to the galaxy."

In the editorial room of the New York Times, several staff members are working on the final typesetting of tomorrow's newspaper.

At this time, the head of the Department in a hurry to run in.

He yelled: "take down the front page headline of the entertainment page and replace it with this manuscript."

A young man looked at the time and looked at the supervisor in surprise, "it's three o'clock in the afternoon, temporarily replacing the front page headline?"

"What happened? Is it Watergate? "

"Stop talking nonsense." The director said: "it's definitely not Watergate, but the consistency is much better than it!"

"We are not the only ones to publish this time, but also the media colleagues like the Washington Post, the Los Angeles Times and so on."

"The deputy editor in chief specially explained that he must publish it together with several major colleagues, causing widespread concern."

"Who's the unlucky guy? Did he offend Murdoch of news corporation or leishidong of Viacom?"

A staff member looked at the manuscript curiously.

The title of this manuscript is: "on the development of network literature, we should start from the book of unusual creatures and the guide to Galaxy roaming."
