Chapter 313: Beaten
New York, inside the studio at ABC.
After a period of popular broadcasts, the "Anomalous Creature Observations" project finally ushered in the filming of the last episode of the first season.
"When the protagonist group arrives in the Kraken's hometown, there must be a long camera effect!" said the great director Michael Bay, to the technical team
"There are buildings under the water, but there is no sense of desolation where the inhabitants are there. Just refer to the white quarter of South Africa, the feeling after the Great Escape!"
To be honest, as a rising director in Hollywood, he accepted this project with the intention of making extra money.
After all, being idle is also idle, not to mention the remuneration given by ABC, which is also quite tempting.
But after the House of Representatives passed that proposal, and the original book won the Hugo Award.
directly made the ratings of this TV series firmly ranked second in the ratings of the year, leaving other TV series except "Friends" far behind.
"Even winning the Nobel Prize in Literature has no effect!" Michael Bey muttered to himself, "This Hugo Award should be the most concerned by the American public, right?"
In any case, he wants to make the most of this opportunity.
Use this literary award-winning work to prove that you can not only shoot explosions and wars, but also shoot some emotional scenes.
"But Mr. Michael Bey," said the technician timidly, "as originally planned, this should have been briefed. ”
"I don't care what the original plan was, now it's going to be modified according to my request!" the tyrant on the set asked seriously for the first time, "Are there any other problems?"
"Uh..." the other party looked at the great director and muttered: "There is nothing wrong with the technical aspects, but the budget is a little insufficient." ”
Budget?
Michael Bay rubbed his slightly messy hair, feeling a sense of helplessness.
This kind of depiction of observing the annihilation of a new civilization from the perspective of the protagonist is very rare.
The sense of powerlessness and desolation that comes for the end of intelligent creatures is completely disregarding race and education, and directly touches the soul level.
But the problem is that this scene is so big that it will cost far more than tens of thousands of dollars in the budget!
He groaned and dialed James, the project leader at ABC.
"Mr. James, I need your support. ”
"I know it's already the highest-budget TV show in the country. ”
"I can give one-third of my salary directly to the production of the last episode!"
"Yes, I'm confident!" said Michael Bay into the phone.
"As long as the publicity can keep up, this TV series can break the ratings record of the first season of the film and television drama held by "Friends"!"
After a series of guarantees? The great director finally showed a satisfied expression on his face.
"Okay? Let's get ready to shoot!" he shouted to the staff in high spirits, "The last episode? Be sure to restore all the descriptions in it!"
"Kraken spirit ensemble? In the face of the siege of the eldest son, I want to shoot the feeling of "All Quiet on the Western Front"!"
......
At the same time? Flushing's office.
Wang Jian had just hung up the phone, looking very unhappy.
Starting with the passage of the bill by the House of Representatives? Princess Diana, the British royal family, the Writers Guild, the Hugo Award Committee, and others are all expressing their opinions to the media.
Say they're unhappy with the U.S. government? That must be there.
But in a sense, these organizations and individuals have also objectively completed the achievements of gaining popularity and brushing up their sense of existence.
For this, Wang gradually should not have any dissatisfaction.
After all? Everyone, you rub me, I rub you? Then the public attention will naturally come.
But while others were widely praised by the public because of those remarks, their own website was still in a state of suspension.
The amount of money lost every day can be calculated in units of 100,000 dollars!
"Isn't this the whole world showing? Is it just me getting beaten?"
Wang gradually took a sip of coffee, letting the bitter feeling go? Spread in the mouth.
"That Texas governor, and said what opportunity to wait!"
"You're going straight to the Capitol to run naked? Is there still no media to follow you?"
And the former reporter named Woodward, who couldn't even reasonably stop or postpone the march.
That's it? Do you dare to lick your face every day? Said he overthrew former President Richard Nixon?
"We reporters? The main thing is to set off social hotspots and arouse public dissatisfaction......"
"As for calming the heat and resolving mass incidents, it's the job of the police department. I'm really not skilled in this kind of thing!"
Wang gradually thought about the other party's words, and felt that the roots of his teeth were a little itchy.
Fuck, it's impossible for me to call the police and just arrest the book fans in federal prison, right?
Even more hateful are the nerds led by Larry Elson and Wozniak!
I don't see it on Twitter, and some people have already announced that they have refunded their tickets to Atlanta to watch the Olympics and are ready to change to Washington!
"Are you planning to organize a day trip to Washington?"
Just now, ABC's James also came to intervene.
He actually suggested that he go to participate in a high-rated current affairs talk show to increase the final ratings of "Anomaly"!
"Fuck! That TV series doesn't break the record, does it have anything to do with me?"
Wang gradually muttered as he found the contract he had signed with ABC in a drawer.
After a moment, he couldn't help but want to give himself two slaps in the face!
"For a few million dollars, you sold yourself, and you have to cooperate with the publicity?"
The most critical problem is that there are almost no public figures who are willing to sing to play with them.
Even those news commentators who rely on all kinds of unbounded opinions to attract people are reluctant to appear.
So, the last person to contact ABC was actually Donald, a real estate tycoon known for his big mouth?
Wang gradually felt that it was a bit embarrassing to debate with the other party.
"Although they are both billionaires, is my character much more noble than his?"
He muttered to himself as he flipped through the public statements of the gentleman with cool hair.
Just when Wang gradually thought about how to pretend to be pitiful when he was arguing with the other party, instead of going up and slapping the old gentleman twice.
His cell phone rang suddenly.
Wang gradually picked up the phone and heard the voice of the governor of Texas.
"Don't worry, Wang, I've already chosen a suitable target. ”
"That man is keen to appear in public to illustrate his various crude opinions. ”
"This will not arouse public suspicion because of its abruptness. And according to the frequency of his appearances, there shouldn't be a long wait. ”
"Who is it?"
Wang asked curiously, in order to decide if it was time for him to go to Hillary and complete the backstab.
"Uh... You New York real estate tycoon, Donald. George W. Bush replied.
