Yankees aren't usually fast, especially for a madman like Reed.

Unfortunately, David Fincher and Kevin Spacey are also such people.

When these crazy guys get together, you can imagine the results.

"House of Cards" only took ten days from the release of the script, to the establishment of the project, and then to the start of filming.

If this were done by the traditional media, do you dare to imagine?

David Fincher accepted the script without saying a word as soon as he saw it.

This is not only for the sake of fifteen million dollars and the 3 percent revenue share of the directing fee, but also because the script is really good.

Netflix's film and television division is considered to be completely new, so it is very simple to operate, and there are not so many rules.

Anyway, the $100 million production cost is sprinkled just to create a TV series, which is too much.

EVEN IN ORDER TO SAVE MONEY, SHI ZHENQIU ALSO SPECIALLY ASKED SOUTH KOREA'S ASSET ARTIST COMPANY TO PRODUCE SPECIAL EFFECTS.

Because after the broadcast of this drama, ASSET ARTIST, as a shareholder, will also participate in the account sharing.

In this case, it makes sense to involve ASSET ARTIST in the production.

Anyway, with David Fincher in charge of the shooting, there will definitely be no problems.

"Reed, do we only have one plan, House of Cards?"

Although Netflix's work efficiency is fast enough, Shi Zhenqiu is not very satisfied.

Because he can stay in the United States for a short time, if he wants to come and participate in film and television production, maybe it will be a long time.

So Shi Zhenqiu wanted to take advantage of this opportunity to do more work.

After all, no one will have trouble with money.

Reed is also a workaholic, but he faces real problems.

"Stone, although I also want to bloom in full bloom. However, we don't have any extra money on our books, and we still need to go back and forth after the house of cards is broadcast. ”

What is the prospect of online video platforms producing their own film and television dramas, not to mention the outside world, even Netflix is not so confident.

So in the production process of "House of Cards", it is conceivable that it is difficult to get any particularly generous advertising contracts.

Without advertiser sponsorship, Netflix's only hope is that the TV series will become popular after it airs, relying on clicks and subscriptions to make money.

As a result, Netflix's account is empty at this point, and there is really no money to do more.

But Netflix has no money, it doesn't mean that Shi Zhenqiu has no money.

In order to acquire shares in Netflix, he raised more than $1.2 billion in total.

In order to acquire, one billion was spent, and Shi Zhenqiu's account still had more than 200 million at this time.

If this money is not spent, it will grow moldy.

So Shi Zhenqiu pondered that he wanted to use the Netflix platform to do something new.

"Don't worry about the problem of funds, the funds I have in my hands are not a problem to start two TV series at the same time. ”

Hearing that Shi Zhenqiu was going to contribute, Reed was really moved.

"If you're going to pay for it, then how are we going to split the bill? Say it up front, Netflix doesn't have any money in its account, but we can still provide enough staff to complete the shooting. ”

This is what Shi Zhenqiu wants.

"Well, we at the Asian Film and Television Production Alliance will be responsible for the funding, and Netflix will be responsible for the production and broadcasting. How about the final split, whether it's the revenue from clicks and subscriptions, or the revenue from ad sponsorships?"

Reed thought for a while, but finally nodded and approved of Shi Zhenqiu's plan.

He also feels that Netflix only produces one TV series, and it really can't form a scale effect.

If there is another masterpiece similar to "House of Cards", then Netflxi really no one dares to underestimate it.

With Reed's approval, Shi Zhenqiu did not delay any longer, and used the last bit of time to start work quickly to produce his second work in Hollywood.

Two days later, he approached Reid with the script.

"I need a director and actors for this play, and I need Netflix to come forward. The director is Mark Mushchenko, and Netflix should have a channel to get in touch. As for the actors, Martina Hill and Marc Benjamin Puch, they are German actors, but they are definitely not difficult to contact. ”

Reed was stunned when he listened.

"What kind of drama are you, you need German actors? Isn't there a suitable one in Hollywood?"

Shi Zhenqiu just smiled and shook his head.

"Reed, the more you work with me in the future, you'll know. When I look for directors and actors, I always only look for the most suitable ones. ”

Reid was even more curious.

"Your script, can you show me?"

Although he has just started working with Shi Zhenqiu, Reed has never been curious about Shi Zhenqiu's script.

Because the script produced by Shi Zhenqiu is very detailed, even people who don't know anything about film and television production will show the plot in their minds when they read his script.

Clearly, Reed was planning to get a sneak peek.

Shi Zhenqiu was naturally indispensable, took out the printed script from his bag, and handed it directly to Reed.

I couldn't wait to get the script, and when I saw the title of the play, Reed's expression became strange.

"Knaller Frauen? ”

Shi Zhenqiu smiled and said with kindness: "I hope you can stay normal after reading the content." ”

He had kindly reminded him, but the Netflix employees still found that their bosses were laughing like fools for an afternoon.

What's going on?

Could it be that the company's stock has risen to the limit?

Shi Zhenqiu doesn't care if Reed will be stupid or not, as long as he can work well.

Thankfully, Reed's work ethic is unquestionable.

Two days later, Shi Zhenqiu was the first to meet director Mark Mushchenko.

This is incomparable to David Fincher, whether it is fame or status, coupled with a difficult situation, Mark Mushchenko must take the initiative to seize every opportunity.

He also doesn't know why Netflix came to him for filming, and he doesn't even know what Netflix does.

But for him, who is very difficult to eat, someone is looking for himself to film, and the remuneration is still very generous, why do you care so much about him?

waited until he arrived at Netflix and saw that the person sitting in front of him was Shi Zhenqiu, and Mark Mushchenko suddenly had a feeling that he was going to take shit luck.

He's different from Reed.

Reed is doing behind-the-scenes work, and he is still in the most marginal DVD rental business in the film and television culture industry, so he is not familiar with Shi Zhenqiu.

Mark Mushchenko is a director, and in addition to his own work, it is also necessary to appreciate other people's works to improve himself.

Different from the arrogance of the general American people, in order to enrich his artistry and creativity, directors do not distinguish between nationalities for film and television works.

After he learned about Shi Zhenqiu through music, and learned that he was a very powerful screenwriter in South Korea, he once specially looked for all of Shi Zhenqiu's works to watch.

He really can't do the outrageous Korean family ethics drama, and he really can't understand it.

But several movies written by Shi Zhenqiu made him realize that the person in front of him is definitely a great creator.

I can't imagine that one day, I will be able to work with such an amazing person.

The two sat together and chatted happily, and they also had a lot of topics in common.

The impoverished life did not dampen the vitality of Mark Mushchenko, which kept him optimistic.

Also because of his poor life, he always lived at the bottom, which made him more sympathetic to the plot described in "Knaller Frauen".

In the conversation with Mark Mushchenko, Shi Zhenqiu couldn't help but be happy.

Fortunately, he found the original director of "Knaller Frauen", otherwise his preparations would not have gone so smoothly.

Another day later, the two leading actors he designated, Martina Hill and Marc Benjamin Puch, also rushed over from Germany.

For them, the actors, Hollywood is a holy place that cannot be refused.

Martina Hill is a stage actress and has been active in Germany for a long time. Although it is famous, it can't get anything because of the market.

So as soon as she got the call of Hollywood, although it was just a video website, she didn't hesitate to come over.

She is like this, and Mark Benjamin Puch has the same idea, both want to make their dreams come true on a bigger stage.

For Knaller Frauen, it was enough to have Martina Hill and Marc Benjamin Puch.

The rest of the actors, as long as their acting skills are not bad, can be replaced by anyone.

And there are not too many such actors in Hollywood. Because it was very convenient to find, Shi Zhenqiu did not look for it like the original.

Besides, his scripts have been changed to English, and there are not so many German-speaking actors in Hollywood.

Shi Zhenqiu's time in the United States was limited, so he couldn't afford to delay, so he immediately began the production of "Knaller Frauen".

Compared with "House of Cards", "Knaller Frauen" has no production difficulty at all, and there is no special effects cost, it is the most basic sitcom.

A lot of times, there aren't even lines.

In this way, the preparation process should not be too fast.

When filming began, Shi Zhenqiu also thoroughly saw Martina Hill's acting skills.

Obviously in normal times, she is a very gentle and intellectual woman, but when she plays the role in the play, she immediately becomes a crazy woman who makes people laugh.

In the following time, Shi Zhenqiu went back and forth between the two crews of "House of Cards" and "Knaller Frauen".

The atmosphere on the side of "House of Cards" is extremely depressing, coupled with the heavy shooting tasks, which makes everyone very tired.

"Knaller Frauen" is too relaxed, and at the end of the day's work, everyone laughs uncontrollably, and they don't feel tired at all.

Shi Zhenqiu stayed in the United States for nearly a month, and did a lot of things during this time.

Seeing that the filming of "House of Cards" and "Knaller Frauen" was in a stable period, he decided to return to South Korea.

The accumulated footage on the side of "Infinite Challenge" has been played, and a new recording plan must be started, and he cannot be absent.

"I Am a Singer" also received an important political task to prepare for the trip to Australia.

At the same time, Shi Zhenqiu's film and television production plans did not stop with the filming of "House of Cards" and "Knaller Frauen".

In fact, when he was working on Knaller Frauen, he also made a men's version of the play.

Gong Yu has been depressed before, nagging that many subjects in China cannot be filmed. But this time, Shi Zhenqiu specially prepared a script, which was intended to be the beginning of iQiyi's self-made drama.

Sitting on the return plane, Shi Zhenqiu flipped through the script, and it was already possible to imagine how happy Gong Yu looked after seeing it.

The script was open, and the title of the play was revealed.

"Dick Silk Man"!
