Hollywood Starts with Animation

Zhu Ke's decision to write the script for the TV series himself is definitely not for nothing!

Looking at the American TV drama market, it is an important industry chain that is not inferior to the Hollywood film market in terms of scale, output value, and even influence.

There are thousands of American dramas, but not many classic high-scoring dramas.

Or very little.

It is very difficult to expect excellent TV drama scripts from the hands of external screenwriters and the "blacklist". Because Jin Shuguang Entertainment Group cannot compete with TV giants such as ABC and NBC in terms of strength.

Why do you expect others to sell you excellent scripts?

are you god?

Excellent script, there is no shortage of buyers at all!

TV giants such as ABC, NBC, CBS, FOX, etc., let’s not talk about it, that is, countless excellent screenwriters personally come to the door to hand over the script to them; as for other second-tier TV stations, there are also special personnel who are responsible for the collection of excellent scripts at all times.

Basically, as soon as a good script emerges, it will be snatched away!

What did Zucker take to rob them?

Headbutt? !

And, in terms of time, it is not allowed at the moment.

Therefore, it can only be Zhu Ke himself.

"I have watched a lot of American dramas in my past life, but it is very difficult to put it into practice on paper. TV dramas are different from movies. They are dozens of episodes long, and basically they are several seasons or even ten seasons long. The film, even if I hollowed out my head, it is difficult to restore it completely.”

"However, fortunately, I am not a simple screenwriter!"

"I'm the boss of a film company!"

"There are dozens of excellent screenwriters in the company. I only need to provide the outline of the story, the basic character settings, grasp the main plot, and let the screenwriters supplement the fallen leaves, actions, dialogues and other related plots. Finally, I'll definitely review it myself."

TV script under consideration.....

The first principle, of course, is quality and cheap!

........

Just when Zucker was in retreat to write the script,

It can be said that the outside world is noisy.

The second season of "The Talent Show" is just as exciting as the first season, but it has completely surpassed the first season in terms of sensationalism. The performances of talents and geeks directly ignited the audience enthusiasm.

Carnival~!

Every American family, after dinner, at work, at school, etc., repeatedly discussed the "So-and-So" outstanding player, and decided that "So-and-So" could become the championship this season.

Of course, the newly uploaded variety show "Who Wants to Be a Millionaire" has also been welcomed by countless people.

"Knowledge changes destiny, wisdom creates wealth!"

This is a stage regardless of age, skin color, work, or family. As long as you dare to challenge, you can win the million-dollar prize through your own knowledge.

Although there are many rough and illiterate people in the old beauty, this does not prevent them from pursuing knowledge, let alone gaining wealth.

During the trial broadcast of "Millionaire", the broadcast mode of one episode a day was adopted, which really made many people hooked!

The ratings, market share, and social discussion are on the rise~!

Countless advertisers, manufacturers and well-known companies flocked to it!

Coca-Cola representative: "We Coca-Cola want the title dealer, and we don't care how much money."

Pepsi-Cola representative: "We are not short of money, no matter how much Coca-Cola bids, we will always be more expensive."

General Motors representative: "Ms. Donna, we are old friends. We have a good cooperation with your company in the "Talent Show" project. This time, "Millionaire", we can't leave our old friends behind. It doesn't matter!"

There are hundreds of companies in the United States, large and small, and they all show their magic powers if they want to win the title business and advertising space of the program.

The price offered is very attractive!

Not only that, but even large companies in Europe, South America, Asia and other places aspiring to expand the American market have also won an advertising space at any cost.

After a few days.

On behalf of the "Millionaire" program group, Ms. Donna finalized advertising contracts with 17 companies with the approval of the parent company CEO Victor, with a total price of 58 million US dollars!

remember!

"A $58 million contract, not a one-year contract!"

Zucker learned the lesson of Disney, the North American production company of "Millionaire" in the original time and space, and did not plan to broadcast it every year, nor did he plan to broadcast 3 to 5 episodes of the show every week.

Frequent playback will only make the audience tired and lose the freshness.

In the original time and space, the "Millionaire" produced by Disney and broadcast on ABC TV did not consider these. In order to pursue the ratings, the pursuit of profitability and the increase in market value, they simply squeezed "Millionaire" to the extreme.

Play all year;

Play 3-5 episodes of programs every week;

The duration of each period has increased from 1 hour to 2 hours, or even 4 hours;

Frequent production and broadcast, resulting in question and answer questions in the question bank are also lackluster and nothing new;

...

All kinds of bad operations made the ace program "Millionaire" stop after only 3 years of broadcasting.

It is not advisable to exhaust the pond and fish!

Therefore, Zucker's "Millionaire" program also adopts the method of season broadcast.

Each quarter lasts for 3 months;

2 episodes of the program are broadcast every week;

2 seasons are broadcast each year.

A benign playback method will inevitably make the audience lose the freshness in the later stage, but the life span will be greatly extended. At least the 5-year production rights that Jin Shuguang Entertainment Group obtained from ITV Broadcasting Company are completely sufficient.

Of course, in the last year of authorization, Zucker didn't mind playing it all year round, and completely squeezed the value of "Millionaire".

$58 million in advertising costs for a season is really not low!

Moreover, at the end of the second half of the year, advertising fees can be collected in the second quarter. In terms of revenue, it will definitely not be less than $58 million.

After the media heard the news, they were completely uneasy.

In terms of TV counterparts, they are even more angry, ashamed, and jealous.

The British ITV broadcaster, the copyright owner of "Millionaire", regrets it even more - regrets the low price!

Of course, the disturbance from the outside world could not interfere with Zhu Ke at this moment.

Zhu Ke is still in retreat, working hard.

........

June 15.

Zhu Ke, who took half a month, finally got out of the customs and set off for Jin Shuguang TV Group with the scripts of 4 American dramas.

The Big Bang Theory, Broke Sisters, The Walking Dead, Prison Break.

"Boss, following your instructions, 50 screenwriters from Wald Films, 35 screenwriters from WB TV and UPN itself have all arrived and are currently waiting for you in Conference Room 1." Chief Assistant Alexander said.

Zucker nodded, and immediately went straight to Conference Room 1, which can accommodate 200 people, under the protection of a dozen security teams.

The second edition of "" is here, thanks to the book friends of "Chi Lingge Ancient Style" for their reward again.
