Chapter 399： The golden age of bargain hunters!

A man at work is far more attractive than a man who takes off his clothes and sells his muscles.

Penelope Cruz admired Dunn very much, with little stars flowing in front of him, "You are so successful, usually... just enjoy life more, if you like girls, you can socialize more, anyway, your conditions So good, is it necessary to work so hard?"

Tang En sighed, "You can't do it if you don't work hard! Did you forget yesterday's phone call? That old guy Lei Shidong made me kneel in one sentence, and there's no room for resistance. If you don't work hard, how can you take revenge?"

Penelope Cruz frowned delicately, "But Mr. Redstone has been in business for decades before he has today's industry and strength. Maybe after a few years, he won't be able to get out of bed. You don't need to do it."

Tang En hummed: "So, I have to work harder! Try to teach Redstone a deep lesson when he is active, otherwise there will be no chance for revenge! Let him understand that under "Six Feet" "The humiliation of me in this matter was the biggest mistake of his life!"

Penelope Cruz wrinkled his nose, "You are so hostile."

In the past, she would definitely not dare to say this to Dunn.

However, since yesterday, the relationship between the two has obviously changed, from physical communication to more spiritual communication.

Tang En sighed and shook his head, "I don't want to either, but look at my age, I'm only 23 years old! If I don't fight, rob, or fight, then so many bullies and eager guys will kill me sooner or later. Swallow it alive. The pressure to survive in Hollywood is too great!"

Penelope Cruz pursed his lips, leaned into his ear, and whispered, "So you find all kinds of girls to decompress?"

"Huh?" Tang En's eyes lit up and he kissed her excitedly, "Good idea! Okay, I'll use this reason to prevaricate Nat in the future."

"Dawn, you're so bad!" Penelope Cruz covered his mouth and snickered, then blinked quickly, staring at the computer screen with anticipation, "This... what movie is this?"

Tang En smiled and patted her waist and hip, "Now you have to put all your attention on 'Erica', that is a long-term role, she is a female superhero, after playing this role, you Don't worry about it in your life, don't be greedy."

Penelope Cruz pouted and said, "I just asked, and I didn't want a role."

Dunn shook his head, somewhat amused, "This is not a movie, it is the script of a TV series."

"TV drama?"

Penelope Cruz's exotic eyes widened again.

Obviously, in her opinion, a top Hollywood director like Dunn is a bit overkill to study TV dramas.

Tang En snorted coldly: "Lei Shidong gave me a slap in the face, that's fine, I'll increase the investment and energy investment in the TV industry, I want the sta TV network to completely crush sho!"

Of course, he only said part of it.

Write a screenplay, what?

In the future, Hollywood will be dominated by big IPs, and all the best-selling blockbusters will be filmed non-stop in the sequel.

So much so that the production teams dedicated to original themes changed careers and went to the TV field, and then a series of wonderful and good-looking classic American dramas appeared.

Those best-selling movie series, what?

Marvel Comics and DC Comics are the two trump cards; Lucasfilm's "Star Wars" series is one-of-a-kind; MGM's "007" series is enduring for a century; "Harry Potter" and " Adapted from The Lord of the Rings to create mythology.

Then, the Transformers series, the Pirates of the Caribbean series, the Fast and the Furious series, the Jurassic Park series, the Mission: Impossible series, the Bourne series, the National Treasure series ...

A large part of Dunn has already started, and the three series of "Jurassic Park", "Fast and Furious" and "Bourne Bourne" are the gold-absorbing trump cards of Universal Pictures.

As long as Dunn acquired Universal Pictures, he would naturally be in the bag.

Even "Mrs. Smith", Dunn has adjusted the structure and setting of the script, so that the film has the possibility of developing a sequel.

The male protagonist is American and the female protagonist is French. After using a movie to reveal the secrets of each other's killers, they have prepared enough for the sequel, allowing the husband and wife to join hands to fight against the stronger ones. Transnational criminal group.

what else?

"Mission Impossible" don't need to think about it, the copyright of the "Lord of the Rings" series is a fantasy.

Twilight and The Hunger Games?

These are all novel adaptations, Tang En did not dare to start easily.

In case the author is in the process of conceiving and creating, Tang En may be involved in an infringement dispute, and it will not be too late to start the novel after the novel is released.

It can be said that in the next 20 years, more than 90% of Hollywood's major IPs that can show their prestige in the box office market will be captured by Dunn, and he has no need to write commercial movie scripts anymore.

As for award-winning literary films...

Too risky to touch!

The scripts of many literary and artistic films have been deposited for decades. Movies released 10 years later may have their scripts registered 10 years ago.

If Tang En wanted to touch this piece of cake, he had to be cautious and careful, and had done his preliminary homework. Otherwise, once he got caught in a copyright lawsuit, not to mention a huge punitive fine, the blow to his personal reputation would be fatal.

For example, "Black Swan" released in 2010, the third installment in director Darren Aronofsky's trilogy, was registered with the Screenwriters Guild last year. And has made an appointment with his alumna Natalie Portman to collaborate on this project in the future;

For example, in "Lincoln" released in 2012, the script appeared only a year later than "Schindler's List", and Steven Spielberg also made an appointment with Liam Neeson for a second cooperation, letting him play this role;

For example, in "Dallas Buyers Club" released in 2013, the initial script was completed after the death of the protagonist Ron Woodruff in 1992...

The list goes on.

Therefore, it is very simple for Tang En to copy commercial films, because most commercial films are time-sensitive, and they are big IPs, so the copyright is easy to control.

But literary and artistic films are too complicated. Unless it is a stable adaptation copyright of "All the Time" and "Chicago", you must not reach out.

In comparison, American dramas are too simple, you can almost copy and use them casually!

Because the most elite talents are in the film industry, there is no chance for an excellent idea to be sealed, and the TV station will definitely rush to shoot it immediately.

Later, the reason why so many classic American dramas appeared was because the movie market became IP-based and sequelized, and the original teams of many movies had no living space and could only go to the TV industry to do original work.

Even Jonathan Nolan left the film industry, went to hbo, and came up with a "Westworld".

It is only 2001, so naturally there is no hidden danger in this regard.

This is a time difference.

It's just the perfect time to buy a bargain!

Dunn has already thought about it, whether to shoot or not, he will first come up with the script, then register it and occupy the place.

Go the way of others, let others have no way to go!

Especially some excellent American dramas launched by TV stations Don't even try to escape!

Penelope Cruz looked at the computer screen curiously and asked, "What TV series is this? Why are there so many swear words?"

"This is a series broadcast by a professional station. It must be large in scale. It is called "Single Poisonous Mom"." Tang En smiled, looking at the outline content that had been typed out on the computer, the corners of his mouth showed a bit of coldness.

Now he is indeed not Lei Shidong's opponent, but he has foresight and can come to a big bargain hunter!

Since 2004, sho has only started investing in and producing American dramas by himself. The first hit is "Single Poisonous Mom".

Although there is a gap with many classic dramas of hbo, as a small and medium-cost urban black comedy, it is also a good choice to play during working hours to bring relaxation and laughter to the audience.

It is impossible for every drama to be a big scene and a big production.

After completing this "Single Poisonous Mom", Dunn still has several scripts in the conception of "Bloodthirsty Forensic", "Gays and Mortals", "California Love", "Nurse Jack", "If There is Tomorrow" and other scripts. .

Of course, it is impossible for him to know the specific content of each drama, but this is not important at all, the important thing is creativity and ideas!

As long as the general plot is understood and the protagonist is determined, it is enough.

Grab the idea and register it first, and then let the screenwriters slowly come up with specific plots when they want to shoot later.

Of course, since it is a bargain hunter, it is not just sho.

This is just the beginning.

Dunn will hurry up and grab more ideas!

hbo, amc, sho, cbs, abc, fox, bbc, amazon, hulu... Any American drama that Dunn has an impression of, he will not let go of one!

Now, is the golden age of American TV series bargain hunters!
