Los Angeles, North America, inside the Dick Group Studio.

The overseas version of "Love Apartment" is being filmed.

In fact, the Dick Group is not so optimistic about this urban sitcom named "Friends".

However, this is the first film and television work of cooperation with Lingxiao Pavilion in North America, so although Dick Group is not so optimistic, it still gives great convenience.

The first four episodes of "Friends" have been edited, and what Dick Group didn't expect was that Lin Xiao attached so much importance to "Friends".

Thousands of miles from China rushed over to participate in the trial meeting.

The production cost of "Friends" is very low, the cost of an episode is less than one million, and you must know that in North America, the production cost of TV series is getting closer and closer to big productions, and even some TV series cost more than 10 million US dollars per episode.

The highest even one season of American dramas can make several movies. Therefore, the Dick Group didn't take this small-cost drama that didn't add up to 10 million in the first season too seriously, but they didn't expect Lin Xiao to attach so much importance to it.

Lin Xiao's arrival naturally made the entire creative team of "Friends" very excited.

At this moment, Lin Xiao is no longer the original Chinese boxing champion in North America, but a first-line director, but a magical Lin.

At the same time, he is also a huge rich man with a net worth of more than 10 billion US dollars.

Because of Lin Xiao's special attention, Dick Group began to pay attention to this drama with a cost of only a few million.

In fact, the template of "Friends" in this world is Huaguo's "Love Apartment", and "Love Apartment" is known as the first sitcom in history in China.

But here in North America, in the face of countless high-cost big productions, this kind of drama is actually not so popular.

Although the first season of "Friends" has been booked by NBC, the price is very low, and the airtime is not very good.

On the side of the Dick Group, Lin Xiao's old acquaintance, Rand, vice president of Dick Films, canceled several appointments because of Lin Xiao's arrival, and specially came to accompany Lin Xiao to participate in this audition.

"Friends" and the domestic "Love Apartment" are still very different, although the main characters are still six people, but the composition is different.

As a Chinese, Lin Xiao naturally wants to bring some private goods to this "Friends".

For example, adding Chinese characters to "Friends".

"Lin, you're optimistic about Friends?" Rand asked, a little confused.

"Rand, you must know that in Huaguo, "Love Apartment" has been out for several seasons, and each season is the ratings champion of the same period, although Huaguo is different from North America, but I believe that a good drama series will still be lied by the audience no matter where it goes. Lin Xiao said with a smile.

He was not very surprised that Dick Group did not attach importance to and was not optimistic about "Friends".

In other words, the entire North American side, NBC, actually didn't take this low-budget series "Friends" to heart at all.

Even, if it weren't for the fact that this show was promoted by Dick Group, and Dick Group is one of NBC's major shareholders, NBC might not even give it up.

"Hopefully you're right. Rand spread his hands, noncommittal.

In his opinion, even if "Friends" does have its own uniqueness, he doesn't think the ceiling of this show will be too high.

Although "Friends" Dick Group and the North American branch of Lingxiao Court are co-filming, in fact, the dominant power has always been the North American branch of Lingxiao Court.

"By the way, Lin, when will the sequel to "Once Upon a Time" be finished?" Rand is more concerned about the already successful "Once Upon a Time" series of movies.

"The film has been completed, and if it is released, I think the summer file will be a good choice. Lin Xiao said with a smile.

"Lin, I don't understand, why did you choose TV series, you know, in North America, in fact, the threshold and competition of TV series even exceed that of movies. As far as I know, you've already set a shooting plan for three TV series for the North American branch, so why don't you make a movie?" Rand asked in surprise.

By the way, I forgot to mention that the name of the North American branch of Soaring Pavilion is not called Soaring Pavilion, but Legendary Pictures.

Dick Group holds 30% of the shares, and the Sky Court Group occupies 70%, which is considered a joint venture.

"What if I say I'm more optimistic about the North American TV drama market?" Lin Xiao replied with a smile.

"OK, you're the magic forest, you have the final say. Rand spread his hands and said, he didn't really care too much about that.

The joint venture to establish this company is mainly to win over Ling Xiao Ge, after all, several series of movies in Ling Xiao Ge have already achieved fruitful results.

Soon, "Friends" began to be screened.

Lin Xiao watched it with relish, although there were some stalks in it that he couldn't catch the laughter of a Chinese, but everyone present, including Rand, was amused.

Lin Xiao nodded secretly.

Only, very quickly, Rand shook his head.

In his opinion, although this "Friends" is quite interesting, but it is only so, there are countless TV series in North America that are mainly funny, and this "Friends" is not in addition to this, he really doesn't see any merit.

He didn't understand why Lin Xiao was so optimistic about this drama?

The first episode of "Friends", the impression that gave Rand is that it is a little funny, every character is a little neurotic, oh yes, and a little bit of routine, in addition, comedy conflicts and the like, this show does not exist at all.

In fact, this kind of sitcom was popular in North America for a while, but it was a long time ago.

Now, even the sitcoms that were more popular at the beginning have now come to an end, not because they don't want to continue to be produced, but the potential has basically been exhausted, there is a saying, when these dramas start to decline, then it is better to cut them and then sell them, after all, time is a very memorable thing.

Looking at the current American dramas, sitcoms have almost disappeared, and what still exists is only what was left many years ago, relying on the group of fans accumulated over the years to support the ratings.

But people always like the new and hate the old, especially for young people, they don't like the old things and like the fresher things.

In Rand's opinion, there is not much new in Friends.

Such a drama, in his opinion, is unlikely to make a big difference at all.

"Lin, I really can't see where this drama sells off. "Rand can be regarded as an old driver who has read countless films, but he is still not optimistic about this drama.

Lin Xiao didn't care, a film like "Friends" is not the kind of drama that can make people see how good it is by watching one or two episodes.

It can be said that dramas like "Friends" focus on daily life, ordinary life, and a little funny seasoning.

This kind of drama is the kind of drama that you don't think is good at first glance, but you will fall into it unconsciously.
