"Mr. Wald!"
As soon as Zhu Ke entered conference room No. 1, the No. 100 people who were sitting on the scene, regardless of their status or their qualifications in the screenwriting industry, all stood up.
In private enterprises, Zhuke is like a local emperor.
And how dare they stab with their jobs?
"Sit down. Don't stand. Please sit down, everyone." Zhuke beamed at the crowd.
No matter what the real face of Zhuke is, sometimes he has to look close to the people.
"Boss, let me introduce you."
Alexander led four people over 40 years old, three men and one woman, to Zucker and said, "boss, these four are professors from Stanford University. They are Dr. schenger, Dr. tourian, Dr. Vivian and Dr. hotsky. "
Among them, Dr. schenger and Dr. tourian are physics professors at Stanford University, majoring in quantum physics;
Dr. Vivian and Dr. hotsky are law professors at Stanford University, majoring in psychological Criminology and behavioral criminology;
"I'm Zucker Wald. Nice to meet you four." Zhuke shook hands with the four of them warmly.
Zhuke added: "time is pressing now. How about we talk about it later?"
"No problem." The four doctors nodded.
The reason why the four doctors are invited here is that two of the four plays planned by Zhuke have to use their professional knowledge, which is exactly what Zhuke lacks.
The Big Bang is a comedy, that's right. However, the two leading men in the play are all science geeks with superior intelligence. They are crazy about quantum physics, which involves a lot of professional knowledge of quantum physics.
Without the help of professionals, does Zhuke take the lead to write?
Prison break is the same!
It is a crime drama, which needs a certain legal knowledge to build the skeleton of the script, rather than guessing, otherwise the fragments will be full of loopholes.
"Meeting ~!"
With the order of Zhuke, the scene was quiet.
Video on!
Text recording on!
Yes, video and text recording are essential to the meeting process. Otherwise, once a copyright dispute occurs, you can't win a lawsuit.
"You see the four plays in front of you."
"The big bang", "sisters in bankruptcy", "walking dead", "prison break". That's right. These are the next four American dramas that our golden dawn TV Group will focus on. "
"Among them," Big Bang "and" sisters in bankruptcy "will be broadcast on WB public TV station
"And" walking dead "and" prison break "will be broadcast on UPN limited TV station, specially for subscribers."
Smell speech, the presence of people nodded, said clearly.
In addition to the four doctors, all of the No. 100 people present are talents in the screenwriting industry. Scanning scripts at a glance is a necessary skill for them.
In just over ten minutes, they have already known about it.
"Big Bang" and "sisters in bankruptcy" are small cost comedies, which are very suitable for a family to watch around the dinner table. Isn't it just for their taste that trifles, neighborhood trivia and family affairs are not enough?
Overall, it's cheap and easy to shoot!
But
"Walking dead" and "prison break" are totally different.
Both of them have very high requirements for the scene, only the scene layout of each episode requires a lot of manpower and material resources, which is absolutely a big investment.
This is totally different from the cost of the current mainstream American TV series.
In the 21st century, the introduction of American dramas from all over the world gives people the impression that they are well-made, with high-quality pictures. The brilliance of each season is just like that of a movie, and the demand is very high.
But that's in the 21st century!
In the U.S. drama market at the end of the 1990s, many TV dramas didn't have high requirements and production costs. Most of them are similar to "growing pains" and "friends". Apart from the high salaries of the actors, the production cost of each episode may be $100000.
The high-cost and well-produced American TV series is started by DreamWorks and HBO TV station's Mini Series brothers company!
Now, Zhuke is the first to eat crabs!
With high quality, high cost "walking dead" and "prison break", to open the new market of American TV series!
Especially for prison break, the production cost of each episode given by Zhuke is 800000 US dollars, which is several times higher than the cost of 100000-200000 US dollars per episode of the current mainstream TV series.
The cost of shooting 22 episodes of the first season will be as high as $18 million, which is much higher than that of many Hollywood companies.
It's hundreds of millions of RMB!
Looking at the current mainstream market, who dares to spend so much money to play?
No,
None of them!
"Hiss ~ ~"
All of a sudden, everyone on the scene took a breath of air.
No matter what the future results are, they are proud to participate in such a cross era drama.
The high cost era of American drama will be opened by Zhuke ~!
.......
As a matter of fact, at first, Zhuke thought that Wang would blow up at the beginning!
"House of cards" and "game of power", if these two dramas are moved out now, they will definitely seek defeat alone and sweep away all evil spirits and monsters!
However, Zucker can't do it!
The house of cards TV series produced by Nafi entertainment in 2010 originated from the British writer's house of cards political novel of the same name. However, as early as the 1990s, the BBC had obtained the copyright, and produced and shot related Mini TV series, which were highly praised.
On the issue of "talent show", Zhuke paid ITV broadcasting company for the sale of copyright. It can be said that he completely fell out with the BBC.
Zhuke sent someone to inquire about the copyright of house of cards, which was rejected directly by them.
In a short time, Zucker is not going to get the copyright from the BBC.
The game of power is even more troublesome!
George Raymond Richard Martin, the author of the game of thrones, is not short of money and is very smart. He sent someone to inquire about the copyright, but he was rejected.
"Man, you can't wait for my song of ice and fire to be published? So you can imagine how good my work is? "
"You want the copyright of my novels, movies and TV. Don't think about it now!"
"Well, I'll have to wait at least a few years for my song of ice and fire to come out with a few more volumes. Besides, I'm not short of money. "
Well, that's George Raymond Richard Martin's original words. He has many works, and even without the song of ice and fire, he is a millionaire.
(Note: the game of power, also known as the song of ice and fire.)
What can Zucker do when George Raymond Richard Martin refuses?
Just wait!
However, for the moment, the big bang of life, sisters in bankruptcy, walking dead and prison break selected by Zhuke are not popular, and they can also be called two kings and four twos.
"In the original time and space," the walking dead "is the first comic, but only some adapted TV series. Now the comics haven't come out, so I can take advantage of them. "
"Well, isn't it wonderful to have one more comic master?"
In the following time, Zhuke made specific requirements for the No. 100 screenwriters on the scene, requiring them to complete the first draft within one month.
It is imperative to launch four American TV series!
"The first watch" is presented.
