"Boss, Lucky Cigarettes and Canadian Club Whiskey are very happy with the publicity of the first season of Mad Men, and have no objection to our request to increase the price of ad placement, and Lucky Lottery agreed to the $10 million offer, and the whiskey $6 million also readily agreed. ”

Hearing the good news reported by the CEO of AMC Cable TV Plepler, Andy couldn't help but nod and smile: "You have to be ruthless about the advertising price of cigarettes, but California law states that actors can't smoke in the workplace, and these herb cigarettes still have to be trademarked. ”

"Understood, boss. Preppler nodded with a smile in response, to be honest, he took a great risk from HBO, and after sitting on the CEO throne, he directly became a producer and participated in the production of the TV series "Mad Men".

It's very successful, and the ratings are not outstanding, but the word-of-mouth explosion has also allowed him to sit firmly on the throne, and at the same time, his thoughts when he was the head of TV series production at HBO began to be restless again, and what he admires extremely much is all kinds of big CHI degrees, heavy flavor, and he is always looking for new ideas.

But at this moment, the genius young boss threw out a rough story outline that could not be called a script, which completely made Preppler excited, emperor, violent, bloody, all kinds of elements were set to pile up, and there was no bottom line and heavy KOU flavor.

Sure enough, it was an instant hit, and HBO's position was also impacted.

"Boss, this is 'Seaside Empire' by Jason Johnson, and I want to buy his film and television adaptation rights as a future annual title series. ”

Andy, who was drinking coffee, almost squirted the coffee in his mouth when he heard Plepler's words and saw the book on the table, and after swallowing it hard, he coughed lightly, and Amanda, who was sitting on the side, hurriedly took out a handkerchief and handed it to Andy.

"Plet, I've seen this one, and I like it a lot, but do you know that to restore the Atlantic City in the 20s depicted in it, you need real money to build a virtual city?"

Andy is naturally no stranger to this "Atlantic Empire", but he also knows that the first episode of this TV series cost about $18 million to build a virtual city in Brooklyn, New York.

"Boss, this film is really valuable, and I know that the cost of filming will be huge, but I believe that there will be a good return. "Plepler also knows it will be very expensive, but he is confident that he will recoup his costs and make a profit.

"That's it, buy the copyright first, as for the filming plan, let's postpone it one after another, after all, we already have the high-reputation period drama of Mad Men, there is no need to come up with another period drama, "Blood and Sand" is a historical drama, and now the first thing is to make another modern fashion drama, you two have watched the British TV series "Shameless"... I've seen it all?That's good,Go buy its overseas rights,This is the character design of the American version of "Shameless" that I adapted in my idle and boring and the outline of the script of the first episode... ”

That's right, Andy this time set his goal on "Shameless", the poorest family in the United States, a story of death, frightening thousands of girls and smearing the social atmosphere...... Old hooligan drama!

As a family life drama, being fierce is definitely the most striking label of "Shameless".

Whether it is the picture or the plot, this American drama brings Andy's impression that this American drama has always shocked Andy's crumbling three views of the Celestial Empire, and brazenly said to him: Little girl, you have seen the world is really too little!

"Poof—"

Preppler looks at the various main characters, as well as the first sentence of the first episode: "Warning: The following is extremely uhui, and if you are over 18 years old, please keep your heart pure when reading." The morning sun rises, and the high-level animals in the slums of Chicago begin another day of "better to die than to live"... ”

The more he looked at it, the more frightened he felt, and he raised his head to look at the young boss, as if he saw the light... Ahem, all kinds of problems that can't be taken to the table have been tossed out by "real guns". Emperor, so violent that he simply took off. Compared to it, HBO series can only be considered serious historical documentaries.

"Poof—"

"Haha, it's disgusting, Andy, I don't even know about you... Haha, how can you write such a story, giggles... ”

Amanda looked at the script in her hand, looked at the stinky and undirty flying dialogues, and laughed directly, the flowers and branches trembled, and the laughter couldn't stop.

Andy smiled, looked at Plepler who was about to bow to him, and said, "Go and buy the rights, I believe this show will be popular." ”

"No, boss, this will become a divine drama, a divine drama like "Friends"! I am personally producing, I must come in person... ”

Andy shook his head and smiled at Preppler, who snatched the script from Amanda and left the office in a hurry, knowing that he would definitely contact the UK as soon as possible.

"Oh my God, this family is so pathetic, is there a prototype for the story you wrote? I'm willing to help them... ”

Listening to Amanda's words, who felt a little pity after laughing, she couldn't help but roll her eyes and complained: "It's just a story." This kind of thing abounds in the slums of the United States, and the biggest villain in life is - poor!"

"Oh my God, I really can't live like them, how can I hold on, they are so pitiful... By the way, dear, how is your game going, I'm going to be the first to try it, I don't believe it's going to be as hard as you say. ”

Andy said with a smile: "When the time comes, you can experience it yourself, I have already warned me, don't scold me or drop my phone when the time comes." ”

"How is it possible ... ”

There was a coquettish voice from Amanda in the office, as for the topic of the poor, for these people, it was just a sigh, and no one would care about it after that, this is the real world.

Speeding through the Cadillac SUV on the streets of Manhattan, Andy looked at the crowd walking on the side of the road, and he was also a little looking forward to this favorite American drama in his previous life, and he didn't know what fresh plots his screenwriters would make up according to his own settings to let him continue to chase dramas in this world.

。。。。。。

On the evening of December 30, 2007, one day before the New Year, the whole of Manhattan was lit up with colorful lights to welcome the arrival of the New Year.

"Ahh I hate you... I don't believe I'm going to be able to get over the first obstacle!damn it, I don't believe it... ”

Andy, who was having a video conference with several CEOs in the study, stood up a little embarrassed, walked to the door of the study and closed the door, and Ivana's angry screams and complaints passed directly through the corridor into the study.

"I'm sorry, Ivana is trying out Stupid Birds First, you should be able to understand... Andy spread his hands helplessly and continued: "It's a crazy game, it's a bit anti-human, and people with good tempers will be driven crazy... ”

A few people on several video windows on the computer monitor are a little blushing and embarrassed, they are also typical cases of being tortured and almost tortured and crazy, but what makes them feel even crazier is that they are like obsessed with trying again and again, dying, trying... Unconsciously fell into the infinite cycle of shaking-M attributes.

"Boss, you've developed a crazy game, it... I can't match how addictive it is. ”

The one who spoke was the genius tech Otaku Dr. Ye, who was also a victim of the demo version, but when he passed the first hurdle, he resisted the urge to continue looking for abuse and chose to uninstall directly, even if this was the first batch of players that tens of millions of people dreamed of, he didn't care.

"Seriously, I'm thinking about it too, it's going to be addictive, I wanted to download it for 24 hours and then take it off the shelves... ”

"How can this be! Boss, I firmly oppose it! Boss, it will be popular all over the world in the shortest possible speed, this time there will be a qualitative change in the number of visits and downloads of the Free City Software Mall, and, boss, we still have a variety of project results to use this opportunity to test, and there will be no results in a short period of time, right, Ye?"

Looking at the excited reaction of the CEO of his software store, Andy also shook his head and smiled, of course he understood Michael's feelings, everyone knew how popular and sought after this crazy game would be.
