Chapter 337: The Breaking Bad Project, and the possibility of meeting the president

"Breaking Bad" (breaking-bad), the plan of this TV series, Wu Xiang has been doing it for a long time, he has encountered so many things related to this aspect before, if he doesn't get a film in this area, it will be too sorry for the audience.

However, you must know that this TV series is a fairly long TV series, with five seasons before and after, Wu Xiang really doesn't have time to do such a TV series now.

If Wu Xiang has to do it himself, he estimates that he will shoot one season at most, and no matter how much he does, he will definitely not be able to, to be honest, the overall number of episodes of this TV series is not very much, but the problem is that the TV series broadcast method on the side of the US imperialist is very cheating.

One episode a week, that's how people broadcast it, you love to watch it, don't watch it!

If this is a change to my dynasty, the dramas that dare to be broadcast like this are basically dead, who has nothing to do and wait for you for a week? Those TV stations are eager to broadcast eight episodes a day, and two episodes a day is considered a few.

I'm afraid someone is going to say it, so let's just shoot all five seasons of this show, can't we?

It's really hard to deal with this, because the TV station won't agree to it.

Meidi TV is all a urine, and this TV series is broadcast while filming.

One of the great advantages of this is that you can get the fastest stop loss!

Once the ratings are gone, then just cut the show, they don't care how much ratings the show brought to them before, how many viewers, anyway, that's what we do, as long as the ratings get worse, we will cut it immediately. No mercy, like a stop loss in futures.

Let's put it this way, the TV station of the US imperialists. In terms of the broadcast concept of TV dramas, it is completely different from our domestic TV stations, and the main reason why there is such a big difference is that the TV stations of the United States make money are not the same as our domestic ones.

Many people probably don't know that there are two kinds of TV stations of the US imperialists, the first one. It's the ones that were established relatively early, think ABC, FOX and so on. They are wireless TV stations, wireless, and the coverage is relatively wide, but it is only a comparison. In the past, it was able to reach 90% of the whole country. However, this number is also decreasing, which is a strange phenomenon.

There is also a paid cable TV station.

In fact, there are many such TV stations in the United States, and there are also many cable TV operating companies, and it should be noted that this operating company is not the same as cable TV stations. The operating company is responsible for laying the lines, while the TV station is responsible for doing the programming. And this company that lays the line. In fact, it is also responsible for charging, that is, the subscription of the TV station needs these operating companies to do it.

There are two main operating companies. Comcast (Comcast) and Time Warner, and Comcast actually does the Internet business, so the strength of this company is very strong, and later Time Warner's cable business was also acquired.

In other words, the TV stations of the US imperialists are basically more hard, the pressure they face is relatively large, and the audience is relatively narrow, the coverage is not very high, and it is naturally difficult to make money, so they naturally have strict requirements for each TV series, once the ratings decline, then they must cut it!

So why do you have to know these things to make a TV series?

It's very simple, because you don't know these things, you can't do TV dramas in Migo.

Don't think that the United States is free, there are many, many restrictions on other people's side, such as this "Breaking Bad".

Don't look at Wu Xiang as our domestic screenwriter, but in terms of TV dramas, he is still very researched, especially American dramas, because American dramas were very popular later, although those TV series in the UK attracted a large number of rotten girls, American dramas are still relatively popular.

The TV series "Breaking Bad", it is a crime-themed TV series, and there is no way for such a TV series to be broadcast on TVB, which I am afraid many people don't know.

That's right, this is actually the U.S. audit system, which should be called a grading system.

That is to say, in TVB, this TV series can't be on, only on cable TV, because the scale of cable TV is larger, such as some wool films, which can also be midnight files, OH, YEAH~

From this point of view, the Yankees are not very stupid, they also know what films can be watched by children, and what films can only be watched by adult audiences, but if these films go abroad, then they can't be controlled, especially in some countries that don't spend money to introduce them at all, just take them, and the subtitle group is translated and lived.

Therefore, in fact, if this TV series is not greatly changed, Wu Xiang will not be able to make zuò in China or sell it to domestic TV stations, he can only rectify it in the United States, which involves a relatively big problem, the cost problem.

You must know that it costs a lot of money to do anything in the United States, so Wu Xiang can't directly shoot all the five seasons of this TV series and sell them to TV stations, because if the ratings are not good, the investment will be in vain.

And more importantly, the TV station that originally broadcast the drama "Breaking Bad", that is, AMC TV, her own subscription is not good now, it should be said that it is just a little-known TV station, although there is a certain reputation such as "Mad Men" The show won a lot of awards later, but now not only is this TV series not on it, even if it is, AMC's ratings are not good.

The ratings are not good, but Wu Xiang is still ready to let "Breaking Bad" be on this TV station, because this AMC will greatly increase its ratings in the future, not only because of "Mad Men", but also because of the hit drama "The Walking Dead", so "Breaking Bad" is just borrowing the east wind.

Based on a series of realistic conditions, Wu Xiang can only invest and shoot according to the trajectory of the original TV series, but fortunately, he still has time.

At this time, it was already July 2007, and the original version of "Breaking Bad" was released in January 08, that is. At this time, people may have already started to make zuò, but when Wu Xiang found the original screenwriters Vince Gilligan and Pete Gould and others, they all said that they had no plans in this regard. I've never even heard of this Breaking Bad.

To be honest, Wu Xiang really thought he was too late at first, but when he thought about it, they didn't all American-made zuò TV series be filmed while broadcasting, and this habit really helped him.

So, Wu Xiang's WNM company, their next plan is to make zuò, "Breaking Bad". Wu Xiang just told Gilligan and Gould what he thought, and then let them write the script, and even Wu Xiang himself stopped filming. Let's just recruit the original director and let him shoot.

Not only the director, but also the actors, almost all the original cast. Anyway, I'm here for this project. You can do the specific operations, even including talking to AMC, Wu Xiang is handed over to this team, and he is only responsible for paying for it.

In this way, this is equivalent to snatching a hit drama from SO-NY and directly snatching it up and doing it yourself, hehe, people's SO-NY has a big business. I don't care about that.

The best thing about this is to save Wu Xiang's time. And it is also in line with his previous reform purpose, that is, we are now focusing on the platform, don't meddle in everything, and give full play to the enthusiasm of the group.

The crew of "Breaking Bad" was established in mid-July, and here in the United States, as long as there is money, it will be very efficient, this is a paradise for the rich and a hell for the poor.

Although it is very efficient, it also took Wu Xiang more than ten days, this "Source Code" is still being released, and he has made another TV series, which is indeed too toss-up.

The box office table of "Source Code" is still quite good, and it was pushed by Wu Xiang on the Internet, and as soon as it was stirred, many fans of the American Emperor wanted to challenge their IQ, although many people came out of the theater and found that their IQ was a little insufficient, but it was nothing, just spend money to watch movies.

However, just when Wu Xiang watched his new film flourishing, and the new TV series plan was also implemented, and he was about to return to China, unexpectedly, Wu Xiang received an invitation, a very grand invitation!

This is a dinner party of the Democratic Party of the United States, and the people who participated are very well-known, including the very well-known Obarma!

Now he is not the president of the United States, but he is also a celebrity, a very well-known political figure, who goes everywhere to give speeches and hold this kind of dinner everywhere.

Wu Xiang is very clear that this kind of dinner is actually to raise donations, to raise donations for yourself, you have to have money no matter how you say that you run the president, and according to the historical statistics made by CNN itself, 95% of the presidential elections, the final winner has more money than the loser.

In fact, there is only one exception, and that exception is Lincoln......

But in fact, it doesn't matter, what matters is, who invited Wu Xiang?

This person is none other than Luo Jiahui, who later became the American ambassador to China!

Wu Xiang is very puzzled, he is not familiar with others, I don't know this surname Luo, I can't beat the eight poles, people are three generations of immigrants, and they are still southerners, we Wu Xiang is a native of the Northeast stupid old man, the two of us really have nothing to do with each other.

However, the invitation has arrived, and the above words are very sincere, and then Ambassador Luo also called Wu Xiang, you know, although the current Ambassador Luo did not participate in politics, but he was the head of a continent before, this is not a small official!

If Wu Xiang doesn't agree, he can't do it, even if he doesn't know that Ambassador Luo can be an ambassador later, but what people say is good, just want to get to know each other and make friends, you Wu Xiang don't need to donate money.

Therefore, this is really not good to lose face in other people, and I will have to mix in the United States in the future, this Ambassador Luo, you really don't want to offend, because the surname Luo is basically equivalent to the spokesperson of Chinese Americans in American politics in the recent period.

Let's go, and see the future Commander! (To be continued......)
