In the TV drama production industry in the United States, for a hit drama, it will generally try its best to continue it until the surplus value is squeezed out.

For example, "Our Days" has been on the air since 1965 and has aired more than 7,000 episodes until recently.

And for HBO, a limited television network, it is more difficult to produce a popular TV series than on a wireless television network.

Naturally, they attach more importance to this series.

In addition, affected by the heat of recent events, the status of the three parties at this time has changed to a certain extent.

As the party that controls the IP, the website has preliminarily qualified to bargain with HBO.

"Netflix is willing to give the website and HBO a 10% increase in the share each?" the director frowned and muttered.

"This condition is barely acceptable, but in exchange," he looked up at Wang Yan and said, "'Prison Break Transformation' must also enter the preparatory process immediately." ”

For this requirement, Wang gradually has no opinion.

Who doesn't love dollars?

However, relatively speaking, he attaches more importance to another condition.

"For the production of a new TV series, I hope that there will only be one chief producer, and that is my name. Wang gradually took a sip of coffee and spoke slowly.

This is naturally to cater to the expectations of collaborators and to keep their works in the hands of "their own people".

You see, since the first small-budget TV series "Prison Break", I have been working hard in this direction.

"Of course, I don't have any interference with the specific filming process. Wang gradually smiled and added.

"This...", the director wiped his sparse hair with his hand, weighing the pros and cons in his heart.

As is customary, HBO cooperates with other companies, and at the very least, there will be a senior executive in the position of co-producer.

On the one hand, it helps to stay on top of the crew. What's more, it will be branded with HBO to achieve brand effect.

"However, the future of the individual and the future of HBO..."

The director hesitated for a moment, then nodded reluctantly.

However, he put forward a new condition, "Then we hope that Mr. Wang can make a cameo in the first and last episodes of the new TV series." ”

what？

I'm a writer myself!

The last cameo was just for another purpose!

Wang gradually didn't want to think about it, so he shook his head and refused.

"Influenced by the TV series, CK has seen an increase in sales of men's underwear. ”

"Also, it is said that the sponsorship of "Anomaly" is also good. The director thought about the scene he had just seen, and said temptingly: "So Victoria's Secret is very interested in this TV series about the fashion industry." ”

"When the time comes, there will be some supermodels on set. He said, smiling lewdly.

Victoria's Secret supermodel?

Wang gradually seemed to see a group of slender and tall women, wearing high heels and underwear, walking slowly.

"That's not going to work!" he shook his head vigorously, throwing the image out of his mind completely.

"Prison Break" is different from the other two films, and its audience is likely to include some LGBT people.

What if in the future, in the big cities of the United States, those transvestites who come out late at night to wander out and talk about themselves when they have nothing to do?

Or, at the annual Rainbow Parade, what about sending yourself an invitation to participate?

That kind of scene, he really can't stand it!

"Sorry, I'm a writer and don't plan to change careers. Wang gradually shook his head and replied categorically: "So, I have no interest in starting an acting career or something like that." ”

"We can pay Mr. Wang a salary according to the standard of a famous Hollywood actor. The director said in a sincere tone.

Seeing that Wang gradually did not waver, he could only sigh and look at Woodward beside him.

Wang gradually followed the other party's gaze and also looked at the famous reporter.

In fact, from the moment he saw this person, he was already a little unhappy.

"Although he has left Viacom, he has caused himself a lot of trouble not long ago. ”

"Now that I have switched to HBO, I can still cooperate regardless of my previous suspicions, which is already magnanimous. ”

"Expect him to persuade him to agree? Mr. Director, I'm afraid he didn't get Alzheimer's, right?"

"Mr. Wang. Wood pronounced his name in standard pronunciation.

"I'm sorry for what happened before. ”

Wang gradually looked at each other playfully, wanting to see what tricks the legendary reporter was going to play.

Unexpectedly, he didn't say a word about what the two of them were talking about just now.

"Mr. Wang Jian thinks that you can already write with peace of mind?"

What do you mean?

Wang gradually put down his coffee cup and became focused.

"The methods used by large media groups to discredit their opponents are generally combined. Wood shrugged his shoulders and said with a smile.

"First of all, to get the public concerned. In this matter, it is naturally the attention of the British royal family in the United States. ”

Then, he put forward his purpose in a straightforward manner. Of course, there will be some seemingly noble guise. ”

Wood took a sip of coffee and said leisurely: "For example, to protect young people, let the literary market develop healthily, and so on." ”

"But the public is not all stupid, there will be some people who will disagree after reflection. ”

"That's where you need a bunch of very troublesome guys. ”

"For example, the African-American community in the Los Angeles riots, and then again..."

The legendary journalist smiled and did not continue.

Well?

Wang was stunned for a moment and began to think about the other party's words.

"Although there are very few black people among myself, it doesn't irritate them to the streets, right?"

But except for these people who have holes in their brains and can't be calculated according to common sense.

The largest group of people who have a conflict of interest with them are traditional writers and editors.

Traditional writers have been handled by writers' associations, and now they are firmly on their side.

So the editors of the publishing house, taking to the streets?

This... Are you kidding.

"That's right, Mr. Wang. Wood tried not to be so eager in his tone, "As far as I can see, Twitter's public opinion management mechanism is a bit too rough. ”

"I don't think there are professional media practitioners to guide them, right?"

"In some ways, it's a pity. ”

Wood paused for a moment and continued to organize the language.

"The public doesn't have a voice right now, and Twitter seems to have that. ”

"If you have the right people to manage it, you can turn your own opinions into user opinions. ”

"As long as it's not so obvious, the public will think that the ideas are what they came up with. ”

Here's a hint for me... Do you want to run Twitter as a TV medium?

Wang stared at the legendary reporter as he tried to figure out why he was telling him this.

"By the way, Mr. Wang Jian must be very curious, the results I got in Viacom, right?"

Wood pulled a document out of his pocket and handed it over.

Wang gradually took a look at it and found that there were a few capital English letters printed on the document.

"Non-compete agreement. ”
