Chapter 1392

Name:Hollywood Hunter Author:Just Do
Denise entertainment east coast headquarters on 66th street, Upper West.

Chen Qing arrived more than ten minutes in advance and waited in the rest room. Girl a appeared to remind her that she could enter. After whispering a few words to the two entourage, Chen Qing enters Simon's office with a thick stack of information.

It's four o'clock on Sunday, September 13th.

Today's last working hours are all reserved for Chen Qing to discuss in detail various Asian affairs.

Chen Qing follows a girl to enter the door. Simon is knocking on the computer screen. He just signals Chen Qing to sit down across the desk.

Chen Qing knew that the person her boss had just met was the person in charge of the TV writing department. When she quietly listened to girl a seeing off, she learned that she was a little curious about what her boss was writing, but she didn't ask much.

Simon is writing a play.

To be exact, it's just a sketch.

Or for the DHO of the toll cable station that has just been finalized.

HBO, the peak stage in the 1990s, was undoubtedly the period when it launched two popular American dramas, the underworld family and sex and the city. Therefore, it can be seen that phenomenal TV programs have promoted the development of a TV station. Simon, as a later person, can better understand this kind of thing.

A lot of cable stations in the United States are always on fire because of one or two American dramas. Later, the more typical ones are "walking dead" and "deadly poison master" to AMC. The two American dramas also push the popularity of a basic cable station to the peak. In the age of streaming media, the same is true, a house of cards, a Nafi.

Since we want to start the pay cable channel project, in addition to the main movie content, the popular restricted American drama is essential.

Simon's first thought was the underworld.

Simon knows exactly what the play used to be. The underworld family is a project created by David chase, a well-known producer of Hollywood TV series. The idea has also been around for a long time. Originally, he hoped the mainstream public TV network could receive it. Unfortunately, everyone didn't want it. At last, it fell to HBO. Unexpectedly, the fire broke out.

This time, David Chase's career trajectory will inevitably change.

A few years ago, David Chase has been following up on another popular American TV series, north country, which was produced in 1990. Moreover, coincidentally, the project was produced by the former universal TV Department and sold to NBC.

Danielis entertainment took over universal, and the project continued for several years. In order to avoid being constrained, NBC, such as friends, was reluctant to give up and had to continue to cooperate. The less popular "northland" was cut off in the fifth season.

And then, pushed by Simon, David Chase has been working with Denise TV in recent years.

Unfortunately, neither of the two projects was a success.

Simon noticed the name at the beginning, and his goal was "the underworld family". Unfortunately, in 1990, "the wind and cloud of the northern kingdom" was not lost, as it used to be, but "the underworld family" disappeared. Recently, for the sake of DHO, Simon went out to collect more restricted scripts, such as gangsters, drug dealers and so on.

Simon spoke in person, and the TV circle naturally participated. David chase was no exception. He also submitted an idea.

It is similar to the theme of small town in the north.

Anyway, it has nothing to do with gangsters.

It can only be said that time has changed too many things.

Simon doesn't know if David chase still has a similar idea in his mind to make a black to the family, but he doesn't have the energy to prove anything. It's time-consuming and laborious. It's better to do it by himself.

There are a lot of people's memories in my mind. Once upon a time, the underworld family was so popular. It's very simple to write a general outline for the screenwriter department to find someone to improve it.

Of course, the English name of this time can no longer be called "The Sopranos". Even Simon doesn't want to add some private goods according to his personal interests. Of course, after further evolution of the writing team, and then production, it will be completely different from the original "The Sopranos", even if it is not very different.

Simon is going to highlight just a few.

There must be dancers who often flash. This is the highlight; There must be violent homicide, which stimulates the adrenal gland; I've just put a man in a sack and become a good husband and father. There must be such a contrast. I fight, I sell drugs, I assassinate, but I'm a good man! What's more, in American TV series, you don't want to be family oriented or have a short family. What do you want to do? It's a sharp weapon for long time!

In my memory, many popular American dramas, the more I like family affairs later.

Because it's easy.

It's also politically correct.

A season goes by when we make a lot of noise.

Simon, of course, can't let it go.

In addition, HBO used to be a double hit, "the underworld family" has a wide audience, and "sex and the city" has a female audience.

Simon is not going to do just one.

However, as a female TV station of danielis entertainment, USA has been quite successful. Simon doesn't need to let DHO divert users of USA and create a similar "sex and the city". He chooses the latter between his favorite "killer" and "house of cards".

I don't choose "Jueming poison master" because it's too similar to "the underworld family". They are all the opposite men who do bad things while caring for their families. In fact, since the fire of "the underworld family", the American drama circle has been following suit for decades, but Hollywood's following suit is better than Hong Kong's. it won't be obvious that there are a lot of films in a row. But after a little debate, we can still see that they come down in one continuous line.

So Simon is going to put the killer after the underworld.

If the new "Underworld family" is not too successful, release it as soon as possible. If it is very successful, wait until the end of "Underworld family".

Let's talk about house of cards.

The reason why the house of cards used to be popular is that it has a certain social background. And, obviously, house of cards is based on the Clintons.

Now it's different.

Bill Clinton is still in the White House. Next, Hillary Clinton will continue the political life of the Clinton family, and eventually the couple will create a political elite.

The relationship between the two sides is good. It is certainly not appropriate to make fun of the Clintons now.

However, referring to the idea of the house of cards, there must be no problem.

It's a big deal. With the famous Kennedy couple as the prototype, the Kennedy family now certainly has no way to deal with Simon, and there is no need to worry about it.

Then there is the current background.

The continuous popularity of zipper doors makes the American people tired, but on the other hand, they can't stop. After all, normal people like to hear and see this kind of gossip. Otherwise, the media will not rush in because of the Republican Party's encouragement. The western media want to make money, and they won't get angry without enthusiasm.

This shows that Clinton's gossip is very profitable.

It's more attractive than the war in Africa, which has become a pot of porridge.

Simon knows that the whole thing will come to an end at the beginning of next year when the impeachment case is over. Then, next autumn, DHO will launch a political drama with a little step on the reality, which can largely inherit the current popularity.

Because he doesn't plan to take the Clintons as the prototype, Simon doesn't plan to do it himself any more, just let it go.

So we just need to finalize "the underworld family" in person.

Simon also plans to hand over this project to David chase as a producer. After all, each creator has his own deep-rooted style. Therefore, he will hand over the brand-new "the underworld family" to the other party. Simon believes that even if the appearance of the project is beyond recognition, it must be "divine".

In the office.

When Chen Qing sits down, a girl brings coffee in and leaves. Simon pauses his work and looks across: "how are you doing?"

Chen Qing won't be coquettish at work. She got up and handed a prepared document to her boss. She said with a smile, "that's good. Where's the boss?"

Simon just nodded.

After a few simple greetings, I get to the point.

There are mainly several topics.

Study abroad and study tours in Asia.

South Korea's industrial restructuring penetration progress.

Some key investment projects in China.

The first one is to cultivate "westerosian" in Asia. China, Japan, South Korea and other countries have targeted funding for overseas students and well-known scholars. The destination is not just the United States. To be exact, it should be the five eye alliance of the United States, Britain, Australia, New Zealand and Canada. After all, it's too conspicuous to be in the United States.

After a brief discussion on the list of key points in this year's project, Chen Qing raised some objections: "boss, for these people, I find that we seem to have too few tendentious or ideological measures. I think we should strengthen them?"

Simon leans on the leather chair, turns over a list in his hand, shakes his head slightly and says, "this is your Chinese thinking, but it turns out that those practices work very well?"

Chen Qing thought about it.

It seems... Not so good.

For example, she was a complete failure.

Chen Qing is not ashamed of this. Anyway, in addition to her own boss, she is also her own man. Since she is sure, she can only go one way to the black.

Seeing Chen Qing shaking her head slightly, Simon said with a smile, "in the most prosperous period of ancient China, the whole world was admiring China and learning from China. Silk, porcelain and tea in the East were all symbols of luxury in the West. Even, do you know, the goal of European navigation was to find a golden country far away in the East, It's a pity that we only found America in the early stage. Unfortunately, the Indians

Chen Qing blinked her eyes. She didn't understand for a moment.

Simon continued to read the documents in his hand slowly, and continued: "now, on the contrary, the easterners think that the west is the best, that is, the lighthouse, the paradise of the world, the promised place. Therefore, they do everything to go to the West. Have you ever thought about all this, why? "

Chen Qing thought about it and simply shook her head: "boss, what's the answer?"

"Economy," Simon said faintly, "economic power can decide too much. Now, when peace becomes the mainstream, it is difficult to yield to the will of the people on a piece of land through simple and brutal large-scale war, then money becomes the sharpest weapon. Why did ancient Europeans yearn for the East, because they were rich and prosperous. Similarly, the reason why people in the east now yearn for the west is because they are rich and prosperous. "

Chen Qing tilted her head and thought of one thing: "boss, last time you said at the breakfast that economy can't decide everything. Several dynasties with the largest GDP in the world in ancient China were destroyed by a small number of nomads?"

"It's two different things," Simon didn't mean to say much, and then said: "the problem now is that economic prosperity really means the right to speak, the strength of ideology, and the natural control of the commanding height of public opinion. Because we are rich people. Of course, the rich people are right. If the rich want to influence the thinking of the poor, they don't need too much strong and rigid indoctrination. They just need to show them how rich and rich we are, and they will doubt everything they once believed in. Otherwise, why are others so rich and I so poor? Then, a few people will reflect, will seek the truth, will seek change, but this is doomed to be only a very few. Most people tend to directly overthrow everything they once believed in, doubt everything they once believed in, and even turn to anger, hatred and hatred. These people are what we need. "

Chen Qing understood this time: "what the boss means is to exert subtle influence?"

Simon nodded: "man is a kind of biological position, and it is also a kind of biological position that is easy to change. For example, you can do an experiment at will and put a guy who hates Wall Street into a position with an annual salary of one million dollars in cersei capital, then he will soon stop hating Wall Street. Not only that, if other people speak ill of Wall Street, He will also take the initiative to defend, because his position has changed, that's simple. "

Chen Qing said with a smile: "boss, I don't have to do experiments. I have experience."

"Therefore, we now have a great natural advantage in this matter. As long as we introduce these people into our environment, we don't need to deliberately reverse them. Most of them will take the initiative to change their positions imperceptibly, and then, after some screening, we can completely absorb some people into the westero system. So, Their position will be completely reversed. Finally, as their personal interests are closely related to the westero system, it is no longer possible to change their position one day. "

Chen Qing nodded seriously: "boss, I understand."

Simon is still turning the hands of the roster information, but no longer continue: "talk about South Korea."

Chen Qing picked out two documents and handed them to her boss. Seeing that Simon didn't pick them up, she took the initiative to say, "boss, according to the measures we are taking now, if we don't change our strategy, I think some of the projects that we have already been in a dominant position in Korea may decline or even fail completely in the future."

Simon did not raise his head, and said with a smile, "do you still not understand?"

"Well?"

"I didn't intend to make all the projects in South Korea successful, and it's better to fail. South Korea is just an egg basket for us. According to convention, one basket can't put too many eggs, can't it? "

Chen Qing some suddenly, nod a way: "boss early say, I need not talk nonsense."

"I thought you could understand."

"I'm a woman. I'm always mean. I don't have as much vision as my boss."

"Well, it's comfortable. One more word."

"The boss is powerful."

"This is too perfunctory."

"Ha ha."
