Chapter 168: Achievements
In fact, HBO's project leader has very low expectations for "Prison Break".
Because of the contract with the website, he has little say in the project.
In particular, the best-selling author once emphasized to the director: "It is necessary to clarify the level of each villain" and "to portray the power of each villain carefully".
"Huh. At that time, he knew that the success of "Prison Break" was definitely an accident.
Classic action movies such as "First Blood" and "True Lies" are just using small villains to set off the protagonist and villain, paving the way for the final climax.
Does that best-selling author mean that "Prison Break" has been constantly climaxing since the first episode?
At that time, he wanted to refute: "How can there be so many lines and shots to portray every villain!"
However, people in the entertainment industry are very realistic.
After discovering the dominance of the crew, in the hands of the best-selling author, they chose to ignore the opinion of themselves, the co-producer.
With the news of the preparation of "Abnormal Creature Observations" came, director Simon focused his energy on the two impossible requirements.
In the case of fruitless thinking, the director actually looked for inspiration in the works of best-selling authors.
Then, he seemed to think of a method for the quantification of villain's abilities and the processing of camera flashbacks based on a novel called "Extreme Heavenly Demon".
Oh, my God!
Before the villain and the protagonist start fighting, insert a shot of how powerful the villain used to be elsewhere, and match it with a speechless nickname and value.
This...
Is it still a TV series?
But what he didn't expect was that judging from the feedback results, the audience actually liked this way of processing!
Are American TV viewers in 1996 all fools?
"Congratulations!" said a subordinate with a smile on his face: "Judging from the current situation, "Prison Break Special Forces" will gain a group of regular fans. ”
"Your first project was a huge success!"
The assistant producer glanced at the other party expressionlessly, and then ordered: "Inform the partners of the feedback results." ”
Looking at the back of his subordinates leaving in a hurry, he took a sip of coffee.
Alas, it's really bitter!
And Wang Yan, who watched "Friends" last night and then ordered "Prison Break Special Forces", was actually speechless for some scenes in the play.
Forget about the digital villain, but before the fight, you have to shout the name of the trick.
This...
Isn't that a bit too silly?
"Why did I think of the classic video game, 'Hajugen' from Street Fighter?"
Wang gradually shook his head as he took the data feedback from Tom.
"Uh," he looked at Tom in surprise, "the on-demand rate is actually pretty good?"
"A lot of people were influenced by the first Prison Break. Tom shook his head, "According to the prize survey, some young girls don't finish watching it at all and just switch channels. ”
However, many women over the age of 30 said that they would renew "Prison Break". ”
He hesitated, then continued: "Male viewers have a high opinion of it, they fill out the questionnaire and will recommend it to their friends." ”
Wang gradually looked down at the data and found that more than 4 million people watched the show last night.
Although this is completely incomparable with the more than 30 million viewers of "Friends".
But minus the production cost, even if the sponsorship fee is not calculated, the website can reap a profit of about 1 million.
Wang gradually opened the backend of the website and checked the data of "Prison Break Special Forces".
Excluding today's surge in paying readers, this one has generated more than $100,000 in manuscript fees.
"Sure enough, the profits of film and television are much higher!"
"Fax the data to the director. Wang gradually handed the file to Tom and thought, "If the second episode can generate more than $500,000 in profits, then "Prison Break" should be on the agenda. ”
"Not to mention, the signboard of "Prison Break" is quite easy to use. ”
"If "Anomaly" can also be successful, then the themes of science fiction and comedy can derive too many things..."
In the studio, director Simon breathed a long sigh of relief after receiving the fax.
The first work directed by myself is a good start!
"Everyone, be quiet!" he picked up the loudspeaker used on the set and shouted: "The first episode of "Prison Break" has 4.15 million on-demand views on HBO. ”
"It was the number one that was on-demand on HBO yesterday!"
"Gentlemen, let's have a good night's fun!"
"4.15 million?" The actors, including Miller, collectively cheered after glancing at each other.
In particular, Triple H, after comparing the viewership of wwe, sighed from the bottom of his heart: "My choice is so wise!"
Miller looked at the excited wrestlers and said silently in his heart: "The previous party was so boring!"
"Tonight, this 24th birthday party is very exciting!"
Then, as if remembering something, he walked to the corner and pulled out his phone.
"Naomi, at tonight's party, the king will show up. ”
After hanging up, Miller said to himself, "I can't always make TV series, I have to build up contacts in Hollywood." Moreover, it is not a bad thing for the king. ”
"What if you could catch a ride with the big star Tom?? Cruz..."
He smiled and shook his head, then turned to join the crowd again.
"The king will be at tonight's makeup party!" Naomi whispered, looking at Vera beside her.
Since the last time they exposed each other in the apartment, the two of them have reached a temporary offensive and defensive alliance.
After all, in Wang Yan's trash can, there are so many actresses' business cards.
However, two people together should be able to get rid of the vast majority of competitors.
Although in Hollywood, after being unspoken by the rules, nothing happens from time to time.
But the king was only 18 years old!
An 18-year-old boy should have more affection for a beautiful woman who has had a relationship than the big names in Hollywood, right?
As for girlfriends, Nicole?? Kidman.
As the wife of a big star, it is impossible for her to be with her.
Naomi had a sweet smile on her face, "There are still a lot of supporting female characters in "Anomaly"!"
"There's always something for you, Nicole!"
"Which dress are you wearing, vampire, werewolf, or catwoman?" Vera gestured to the clothes in the closet, looking at Naomi.
Naomi had some images in her mind, and then without hesitation, she pointed to the gothic dress.
"Vampire! black compliments my complexion!"
Vera?? Farmiga shrugged his shoulders and took off the Catwoman outfit.
After changing her clothes, she stood in front of the mirror and watched.
"It seems a little weird. ”
Naomi glanced at the other and picked up a black belt and walked over.
"It's going to look tighter with this. ”
"Remember, pair it with three-inch black heels. ”
