The American TV drama production industry, for a popular drama, will try its best to continue it until the surplus value is squeezed out.
For example, "our days" has been on air for more than 7000 episodes since 1965.
For limited television network HBO, it is more difficult to produce a big TV play than in wireless television network.
They naturally pay more attention to this series.
In addition, due to the influence of recent events, the status of the three parties has changed to a certain extent.
The website, as the one who holds IP, has the qualification to bargain with HBO.
"Is Netflix willing to increase the share of website and HBO by 10% The director frowned and pondered.
"This condition is barely acceptable, but in exchange," he said, looking up at Wang Jian, "prison break and transformation must also enter the preparatory process immediately."
Wang Jian naturally had no opinion about this requirement.
Dollars? Who doesn't like it?
But relatively speaking, he paid more attention to another condition.
"In the production of new TV series, I hope there is only one chief producer, that is my name." Wang Jian took a sip of coffee and spoke slowly.
Naturally, this is to cater to the expectation of writers that their works should be controlled by their own people.
You see, since the first low-cost TV series Prison Break, I have been working hard in this aspect.
"Of course, I will not interfere in the specific shooting process." Wang Jian added with a smile on his face.
"This..." The director wiped his sparse hair with his hands and weighed the pros and cons in his mind.
As a rule, HBO works with other companies, and at least senior executives will appear as co producers.
On the one hand, it helps to control the crew. More importantly, it will be imprinted with HBO to achieve brand effect.
"But the future of the individual and the future of HBO..."
The director hesitated and nodded reluctantly.
However, he put forward a new condition, "then we hope Mr. Wang can make a guest appearance in the first episode and the last episode of the new TV series respectively."
what?
I am a writer!
Last time I was a guest star, I just had a different purpose!
Wang Jian didn't want to, so he shook his head and refused.
"Affected by TV series, CK's sales of men's underwear have increased."
"In addition, it is said that the sponsorship effect of" abnormal "is also good." The director thought about the scene he saw just now, and said, "so Victoria's secret is that she is very interested in this TV series about fashion circle."
"By then? There will be some supermodels on the set." He said it with an obscene smile.
Vermeer supermodel?
Wang Jian seemed to see a group of slender, tall women walking slowly in high heels and underwear.
"Not even that!" He shook his head so hard that the picture was completely out of his mind.
Prison break is different from the other two films in nature. Its audience may include some LGBT people.
What if in the big cities of the United States, those transvestites who come out late at night to wander and chat about themselves?
Or, in the annual "Rainbow parade", send yourself an invitation to participate?
That kind of scene? He really can't stand it!
"Sorry, I'm a writer? And I'm not going to change my career." Wang Jian shook his head and answered firmly, "so, I'm not interested in starting an acting career."
"We can pay Mr. Wang according to the standard of a famous Hollywood actor." The voice of the director was sincere.
Seeing that Wang Jian didn't waver, he could only sigh and look at Woodward beside him.
Wang Jian followed each other's eyes and also looked at the famous reporter.
In fact, he has been a little upset since he met this man.
"Although he has left Viacom, he caused himself a lot of trouble not long ago."
"It's magnanimous to be able to work with HBO now, regardless of the past."
"Expect him to persuade you to agree? Mr. director, I'm afraid you have Alzheimer's disease? "
"Mr. Wang Jian." Wood pronounced his name in standard pronunciation.
"I'm sorry about what happened before."
Wang Jian looked at each other playfully, trying to see what the legendary reporter was going to do.
Unexpectedly, he said nothing about what they had just talked about.
"Mr. Wang Jian thinks that you can write at ease?"what do you mean?
Wang Jian put down his coffee cup and became concentrated.
"The means by which large media groups discredit their rivals are generally combined." Wood shrugged and said with a smile.
"First of all, get public attention. In this case, naturally, it is the attention of the British royal family in the United States. "
"Then, the purpose is put forward. Of course, it will add some seemingly lofty guises. "
Wood took a sip of coffee and said leisurely, "for example, protecting teenagers and making the literature market develop healthily."
"But the public are not all idiots. Some people will raise objections after reflection."
"At this time, we need a group of very troublemakers."
"For example, the African American group in the Los Angeles riots, and for example
The legendary reporter laughed and didn't go on.
Huh?
Wang Jian was stunned for a moment and began to think about each other's words.
"Although there are few black people in my novels, they will not be stimulated to take to the streets, will they?"
But in addition to these people who have a brain pit and can't care according to common sense.
The biggest group of people who have conflicts of interest with themselves are traditional writers and editors.
Traditional writers have been dealt with by the writers' Association. Now they are firmly on their own side.
So the editors of the publishing house, take to the street?
This You're kidding.
"Yes, Mr. Wang." Wood tried to make his tone less urgent. "According to my observation, the public opinion management mechanism of Twitter is a little too rough."
"There should be no professional media practitioners to guide them, right?"
"In a way, it's a pity."
Woodton stopped for a moment and continued to organize the language.
"Now the public lacks their own voice channel, and twitter seems to have this function."
"If you have the right people to manage, you can turn your own opinions into users' opinions."
"As long as it's not so obvious, the public will think that those ideas are their own."
This is a hint to me Do you want to operate Twitter as a TV medium?
Wang Jian stares at the legendary reporter, trying to figure out why he said this to himself.
"By the way, Mr. Wang Jian must be very curious about the results I got in Viacom, right?"
Wood took a document out of his pocket and handed it to him.
Wang Jian took a look and found several capital letters printed on the document.
"Competition agreement."
