Chapter 15: The Script
Tian Xiaopeng is not the son of Zhang Junsheng's plane, and his appearance comes with BGM...
He's got what he does!
After graduation, he went directly to Pixar, stayed up for two years, and then personally participated in projects such as "Toy Story 2" and "The Incredibles".
He knows the current situation in Hollywood far more thoroughly than Zhang Junsheng, a half-baked traveler.
The current situation is that Warner Bros. is in first place, and several others have to kneel and lick, especially Disney!
Despite Pirates of the Caribbean: The Curse of the Black Pearl, their proudest anime project has been completely suppressed!
DreamWorks has "Shrek", Blue Sky Studios has "Ice Age", plus the unbeatable Pixar...
Disney, which relied on Mickey Mouse and Donald Duck to start, has no anime movies...
Disney is even in the middle of a merger and acquisition crisis – Comcast Group has made a $54 billion takeover offer to Disney!
What makes Disney even more distressed is that the 45th animated feature film "The Ranch Is My Home" launched last year suffered a heavy setback, with a production cost of as high as $110 million and a box office of only more than $50 million, and the total global box office even exceeded its means;
The live-action film "The Legend of the Border City" cost nearly $110 million to make, and the total global box office turned out to be less than $26 million...
They can't afford to lose!
Tian Xiaopeng felt that this was an opportunity!
He put all his energy into negotiating with Disney.
Warner Bros. is rich, but they have the Little Witcher series in hand now, and they are not in a hurry to start a new project!
Disney's new CEO, Robert Iger, knows very well that if you want to restart Disney's glory, pay attention to the key is the animation department!
The acquisition of Pixar is imperative, so the visit of Tian Xiaopeng, one of the former Pixar executives, naturally received his attention!
Tian Xiaopeng described in detail the creative source of "Kung Fu Panda", as well as the world and story structure, and of course took out the five-minute video, and in order to increase the convincingness, he also took out the documentary "Rolling Daily Cuteness" specially prepared by Zhang Junsheng.
Then, Robert Iger and Andrew Milstein said they would look at it — and that's normal, because it's a $100 million investment!
……
After listening to the report, Zhang Junsheng rubbed his brain, which was still a little swollen: "How much do you feel their sincerity?"
"I don't know for sure, but Hollywood generally has a three-month research cycle for an anime work..."
Trimester?
Zhang Junsheng frowned.
Three months, a bit of a long time...
"In this way, I'll go back at night to write a variety show idea and a few drama ideas, and you can take it to the person in charge of Disney... Let the fat boy be in charge of talking to them this time, where is the fat boy?"
"He's in the next room... It should be busy..."
"Busy with what?"
"Hmm... Spread the harmony and friendship between China and the United States... It's a rare time to come to the United States..."
Tian Xiaopeng explained hesitantly.
Nima, you are still looking for a big Yanmar when you are a fat man, aren't you afraid of losing the face of a Chinese man?
“… Let him not spend money indiscriminately... Forget it, let him stop fooling around, remember to wear a condom!"
I wanted to say that I shouldn't be reimbursed for this kind of money...
After thinking about it, a Chinese gentleman who went to the United States and didn't look for a Yanma to try it, a little sorry for himself...
Let's stay safe!
After all, Laomei is an area with a high incidence of AIDS.
……
Professional black fans, there must be something real!
You black domestic dramas, you have to find a basis, blind Ji is black, and it is easy to be misunderstood as a water army!
For example, if you are talking about "Chasing the Murderer in the White Night", at least you have to watch "True Detective", "Serious Crime Team", "Crime Scene" and the like, and then intercept and compare, point out the shortcomings, and conclude that "Chasing the Murderer in the White Night" is just like that, and it is not worth 9.0 points...
must be in opposition when the whole people are sought after, this is what a correct black fan should do - he earned 8,000 yuan alone!
Black "Residual Sin", "Prison Break", "Prison Storm", you have to watch it, right?
Looking at it, you will feel that American dramas are really interesting, and domestic dramas are incomparable...
It's a normal thing, when you come into contact with American dramas and Japanese dramas, you will feel that domestic dramas are really rubbish!
Countries have different priorities!
American drama, criminal investigation drama is about solving cases, the plot mainly focuses on how dedicated the police, the criminals are brutal, and how tortuous the process of solving the case is;
The legal drama is about the law, and the plot is how the lawyer is dedicated and how to fight for the interests of the client;
Medical dramas are about medical treatment, focusing on the work of doctors, trying their best to treat diseases and save people;
Japanese dramas like to add some descriptions of human nature, such as criminal investigation dramas, which borrow cases to show the darkness of society and expose the ugliness of human nature;
Legal dramas use cases to show the darkness of society and the ugliness of human nature
Medical dramas simply borrow doctor-patient disputes, internal conflicts in hospitals, etc., to express the darkness of society and the eternal theme: the ugliness of human nature
Domestic dramas, on one theme: falling in love!
Criminal Investigation Drama: A love story of the police
Legal Drama: A Love Story of Lawyers
Medical dramas are the love stories of doctors...
By the way, there are also standard configurations: they are all standard with a bad stomach of male and female No. 2...
Love has become an eternal theme, and it is normal for any film and television drama to have a love scene!
But as a professional drama, you can't just care about love scenes and make a lot of ridiculous and generous mistakes, and then, love scenes are extremely cliché...
Even the heroines of the Anti-Japanese War drama are brightly dressed, and the female soldiers in the play have all worked their eye makeup, their eyelashes are flashing like idol dramas, and some even have eyeliner - walking on the line of life and death every day, they still have time to put on makeup?
Zhang Junsheng didn't want to copy American dramas, after all, although he watched a lot, there were only a few that he remembered, and most of them could only recall the plot synopsis...
But that's enough!
The creative mode of American dramas is different from that of domestic dramas, they will have a chief screenwriter who is responsible for controlling the overall direction, and the script will be written by professional screenwriters...
That night, Zhang Junsheng created the synopsis of two TV series, as well as their own scripts for the first two episodes - "The Big Bang Theory" and "Prison Break"...
After I finished writing, I looked at it and saw that it was only three o'clock, so I copied a variety show plan for "America's Got Talent" and did the planning of "American Supermodel Competition" and "The Voice of America" by the way.
In fact, the variety show plans are almost the same, "America's Got Talent" and "The Voice of America" are just different in focus...
As for "National Supermodel Competition", Lao Mei just likes supermodels, from big stars to just walking...
Chandler and Joey from "Friends" are familiar with all the supermodels, including Ross!
I deliberately searched on the Internet, and the most popular variety show in Lao Mei is "Survivor" and a bunch of talk shows, and it is not yet time for the talent show to take over the variety show...
ABC TV, which is Disney's broadcaster, is still doing "Who Can Be a Millionaire"...
The show's ratings hit an all-time low last year, and it's already barely making ends meet...
After completing these tasks, he compressed everything into a file package, and then sent it to Tian Xiaopeng, and asked him to translate it into English and then take it to Disney to negotiate terms, as for the more price, the better, and gave a friendly reference price - FOX spent $67 million when he bought the rights to "American Idol"...
By the way, he added: "If they are interested, they can come to China to talk to him! The premise is that "Kung Fu Panda" must pass the review as soon as possible!"
