Chapter 783: New Book Inspiration
Stephen King is a busy man, and he followed each other's Twitter accounts after taking photos with Zhang Chu.
Compared to Zhang Chu's ten days and half a month of not updating Twitter, Stephen King is like an Internet addict teenager who often posts things on Twitter.
David George looked at Zhang Chu, who had returned triumphantly, and couldn't help but praise: "You had a good chat with him just now, it looks like he should know you." ”
Zhang Chu nodded proudly: "I became a Twitter friend with him, which is a happy thing!"
"Sounds great, you've accomplished your goal. David George took a sip of champagne, "I just heard the news that someone is asking for the rights to the film adaptation of your short story in The New Yorker, I should buy a magazine and take a look!"
The British have always felt that Americans are hillbillies, nouveau riche, and despise any literature, art, or even entertainment.
David now learned that Zhang Chu had also published an article at The New Yorker.
It looks like the quality should be pretty good now, otherwise no studio would want to buy it for filming.
However, Zhang Chu shook his head and said: "I promised Director Li Yu that I would consider the project of "Artificial Intelligence" after he finished the movie "Youth Pi". ”
"Also, just by virtue of your name and Li Yu, you can get at least $50 million in investment from big Hollywood companies. It's called "Artificial Intelligence"? It sounds like a science fiction movie. ”
"It's a science fiction movie that focuses on the relationship between artificial intelligence and humans in the future. ”
"There are already a lot of movies and TV series of this type, and it is difficult to excel. I want to see it now, maybe no one will notice me when I wander around and read a book in this corner. ”
Zhang Chu spread out his hand and said helplessly: "You'd better not do this." ”
While speaking, there was a radio at the Golden Globe Awards ceremony to remind the guests to return to their positions, and the director was preparing to switch the live video screen.
This feast of movies and TV series has officially kicked off!
Host Jimmy ** spoofed the movie clips that impressed the audience this year in the form of a stage play, including many big stars, and the whole opening looked ingenious, injecting a boost into the weak ratings of the Golden Globes.
When the delighted Xie Er and Penny hugged excitedly, when Chris Korf, a post-zero actor, won the Golden Globe for his first role in his life, and when Angelina Jolie calmly faced all the jokes that ridiculed her marriage to Pete, the audience was a sensation.
"The winner of the 78th Golden Globe Award for Best Drama Series in the Television Drama category is "House of Cards"!
This TV series, which tells the story of the cold-blooded and ruthless US Congressman Frank Underwood's entry into the White House, has long been regarded as a divine drama.
As soon as these two seasons were released, they aroused the love and admiration of audiences around the world!
Completely critical of the realistic attention style, Frank, played by Kevin Spacey, is simply an active political textbook, IQ online, laid out every day, double-faced every day, full of tension.
"Well deserved, this is indeed a good drama! It's a pity that Kevin Spacey didn't get the Emperor!"
As an Englishman, David was not originally interested in the story of the White House, but Mr. Shimogi, who did not compromise in "House of Cards", attracted attention in a sinister and unexpected way.
Everyone knows that politics is extremely dirty, there is a muddy water inside, and no one is clean.
You fight with me, and even some employees in Washington say that what is shown in the TV series is just the tip of the iceberg, and the real battle is even more thrilling!
Zhang Chu applauded and sighed: "There are too few such excellent dramas now. Do you know what type of TV is the most watched TV in our country right now?"
"Sorry, I haven't watched any Chinese TV dramas, only watched the edited video of "Journey to the West" on YouTube. ”
Natural selection, survival of the fittest.
The going and staying of American dramas are all handed over to the audience, usually played while filming, if the evaluation and ratings are not good, then it is very likely to be cut in half!
Therefore, in order to cater to the audience, American dramas are closely linked, tense and exciting, and the types and plot developments of each drama are endless, even if they are the same routine, they can tell different stories.
can look at the current domestic dramas, the plot is monotonous, and the ending can often be guessed in one or two episodes, or the content of twenty or thirty episodes is filmed into seventy or eighty episodes, and the water is crazy.
Especially in terms of the theme of the work, the favorite of domestic TV dramas is costume romance, modern romance, modern mother-in-law and daughter-in-law, anti-Japanese drama or the mode of small fresh meat + big IP, and the quality makes people shake their heads frequently.
In terms of theme design, American dramas are bold and out of line, what political scandals, what murder and violence, what trafficking and systematization, modern life, future scientific and technological life!
Superhero dramas shine, sitcoms and romantic comedies continue to be strong as traditional strong genres, while thriller dramas involving politics suddenly become popular.
"Homeland Security", "House of Cards", "Suspect Tracking", "The Blacklist", and "Madam Secretary of State", "Vice President" and many more are all loved by audiences and critics.
Zhang Chu doesn't remember the last time he watched a domestic political drama, and even strictly doubts that there is such a TV series!
Many times, this type of TV series will be filmed in the direction of the main drama, and it seems that it has always been Gao Daquan.
TV series like "The Ups and Downs of My Lord", "Absolute Power", "Loyalty", and "Black Hole" are just side knocks, and they don't seem to reveal the true face of officialdom in a real sense!
Therefore, in the Internet, many officialdoms are highly sought after, and this type of reader is very hardcore, such as "Hou Weidong's Officialdom Notes" is the best-selling officialdom of all time, and is known as the popular textbook of Chinese officialdom.
So can China find dozens of old drama bones now to make a living record of officialdom?
Difficult!
Hard!
In such an environment, filming this type of TV series is completely thankless.
It is estimated that no film and television company is willing to spend money to make money, and may even be stuck on the radio and television side!
What a terrible thing it would be if the TV series that was filmed so hard spent a lot of money and effort, but in the end it couldn't meet the audience?
"Maybe you can give it a try in this direction, if it is driven by my new book, there may not be no company shooting!"
This crazy idea suddenly appeared in Zhang Chu's mind, and it couldn't be dissipated at all for a while!
