Hollywood Starts with Animation

"boss!"

"Mr. Wald!"

As soon as Zhu Ke entered the conference room No. 1, the hundred and ten people who sat on the scene immediately stood up, no matter how high or low they were, no matter how senior they were in the screenwriting industry.

Among private enterprises, Zhu Ke is like a local emperor.

And they are holding Zhu Ke's rice bowl, how can they dare to stab?

"Sit down, don't stand, please take a seat." Zu Ke greeted everyone with a smile.

No matter what Zucker's true face is, sometimes he always has to look like he is close to the people.

"Boss, let me introduce to you,"

Alexander led four people over the age of 40, three men and one woman, to Zhu Ke and said loudly, "Boss, these four are professors from Stanford University. They are Dr. Xingge and Tulie. Dr. Ann, Dr. Vivian, Dr. Hortaski."

Among them, Dr. Xingge and Dr. Turian are professors of physics at Stanford University, majoring in quantum physics;

Dr. Vivian and Dr. Hortaski are professors of law at Stanford University, majoring in psychological criminology and behavioral criminology;

"I'm Zucker Wald, it's nice to meet the four of them." Zucker shook hands with the four of them enthusiastically.

Zucker said again: "Now is the time, how about we talk about it later?"

"No problem." The four doctors nodded.

The reason why the four doctors were invited was because two of the four scripts planned by Zucker had to use their professional knowledge, which was exactly what Zucker lacked.

The Big Bang Theory is a comedy, that's right. However, the two male protagonists in the play are both scientific geeks with high IQs and are madly obsessed with quantum physics, which involves a lot of expertise in quantum physics.

Without the assistance of professional talents, Zhu Ke took the lead to write?

The same goes for Prison Break!

It is a crime-themed TV series that requires a certain amount of legal knowledge to build the skeleton of the script, rather than guessing out of thin air, otherwise the clips presented must be full of loopholes.

"Meeting~!"

With Zucker's order,

The place went quiet.

Video is on!

Transcripts open!

That's right, video and written records are essential processes for meetings. Otherwise, once a copyright dispute occurs, you won't be able to win a lawsuit if you want to.

"Everyone, have you seen the four scripts in front of you?"

"The Big Bang Theory, Bankrupt Sisters, The Walking Dead, and Prison Break. That's right, the next American TV series that our Jin Shuguang TV Group will focus on are these four series."

"Among them, two episodes of "The Big Bang Theory" and "Broken Sisters" will be broadcast on WB Public Television;"

"The Walking Dead and Prison Break will be broadcast on UPN Limited, exclusively for subscribers."

Hearing this, everyone present nodded, expressing their understanding.

Except for the four doctors, the number 100 people present are all talents engaged in the screenwriting industry. Scanning scripts with one eye and ten lines is a necessary skill for them.

In just ten minutes, they already knew about it.

The two episodes "The Big Bang Theory" and "Broken Sisters" are low-budget comedies that are very suitable for the family to watch around the dinner table. Don't trivialities, neighborhood chores, and shortness of parents suit their tastes?

Overall, low cost and easy to shoot!

But.......

"The Walking Dead" and "Prison Break" are two completely different shows.

The two have very high requirements for scenes, and the layout of each episode only requires a lot of manpower and material resources, which is definitely a large investment.

This is completely different from the current mainstream American TV dramas.

In the 21st century, the introduction of American dramas from all over the world gives the impression that they are well-made and of high quality.

However, that is in the 21st century!

In the American drama market in the late 1990s, the requirements and production costs of many TV dramas were not high. Most of them were similar to "Growing Pains" and "Friends". Apart from the high remuneration of the actors, the production cost of each episode was Maybe a hundred thousand dollars.

The high-cost, well-made American drama was started by the mini-series "Band of Brothers" jointly produced by DreamWorks and HBO!

And now, Zucker wants to be the first to eat crabs!

Use high-quality, high-cost "The Walking Dead" and "Prison Break" to open up a new market for American TV dramas!

Especially for "Prison Break", the production cost of each episode given by Zucker is a full $800,000, which is several times higher than the cost of $100,000 to $200,000 per episode of the current mainstream TV series.

The 22 episodes of the first season will cost as much as $18 million, which is much higher than the cost of many Hollywood films.

Converted into RMB, that is hundreds of millions!

Looking at the current mainstream market, who dares to spend so much money to play?

No!

not even one!

"Hey~~!"

Suddenly, everyone present took a deep breath.

They definitely saw Zhu Ke's "ambitiousness", and at the same time they only felt that their blood was boiling. No matter what the future results were, they were also very proud and proud to be able to participate in such a cross-era drama.

The high-cost era of American dramas will be opened by Zhu Kelai~!

......

In fact, Zucker initially thought about bombing at the start!

"House of Cards" and "Game of Thrones", if these two dramas move out now, it will definitely be Dugu seeking defeat, sweeping away all the demons and evil spirits!

However, Zu Ke can't do it!

The "House of Cards" TV series produced by Netflix in 2010 originated from the British writer's "House of Cards" political theme of the same name. However, as early as the 1990s, the British BBC Broadcasting Corporation had obtained the copyright and produced and filmed related mini-TV series. Great reviews.

Zucker sold the copyright to ITV Broadcasting Corporation on the matter of "Got Talent", which can be said to have completely fallen out with the BBC.

Zhu Ke sent people to ask about the copyright of "House of Cards", but they refused directly.

In a short period of time, Zucker did not want to obtain the copyright from the BBC.

"Game of Thrones" is even more troublesome!

"Game of Thrones" author George Raymond Richard Martin, this old guy is not short of money, and very shrewd, Zucker sent someone to ask about copyright, and was directly rejected.

"Man, my "Song of Ice and Fire" has only been published for one volume, so why can't you wait? So you can imagine how good my work is?"

"You want my film and television copyright, don't think about it now!"

"Well, I'll have to wait a few years at least until a few more volumes of my A Song of Ice and Fire come out. Besides, I'm not short of money."

Well, this is the original words of George Raymond Richard Martin. He has many works. Even without "A Song of Ice and Fire", he is also a billionaire.

(Note: Game of Thrones, aka A Song of Ice and Fire.)

Rejected by George Raymond Richard Martin, what can Zucker do?

Just have to wait!

However, for now, "The Big Bang Theory", "Bankrupt Sisters", "The Walking Dead" and "Prison Break" selected by Zhu Ke are already good, and they can also be called two kings and four 2.

"The Walking Dead is a comic book in the original time and space, but it only has a TV adaptation. Now that the comic has not come out, I can launch the comic according to the trend."

"Well, isn't it quite wonderful to have an extra title of comic master?"

In the following time, Zhu Ke made specific requirements to the screenwriters No. 100 present, requiring them to complete the first draft within one month.

Four American dramas are launched, it is imperative!

" "The first more is sent.
