The full name of TV2 in Hill's mouth should be New Zealand's national TV TV 2. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info
As the name suggests, New Zealand National Television is the strongest station in the country, with TV1, TV2, TV3 and C-4 stations.
TV1 is New Zealand's flagship station and the first major television station in New Zealand, which has been an independent television station since 1960 and became NZBCTV in 1969. After the dissolution of the station in 1975, it was renamed TV1 and was both a commercial and a public television station.
TV2, which was linked to Hill, was founded in 1975 and began airing in Auckland and Christchurch on June 30, 1975, and Wellington in November, and then slowly spread across the country.
Like the big brother TV1, TV2 also belongs to the public and commercial amphibious TV stations, compared with TV1, TV2's program planning is more inclined to attract younger audiences, mainly TV dramas, reality shows and other entertainment programs, most of the programs are imported from the United States.
TV3 was established on November 26, 1989 and is a nationwide commercial television station. Its programs are mainly entertainment, and most of the content is imported from the United States and the United Kingdom.
C-4 is an entertainment and music video station that is now New Zealand's largest music broadcaster.
Compared with China, TV1 is similar to CCTV-1, C-4 is a bit like CCTV-music channel, and TV-2 is a combination of CCTV-3 and CCTV-6.
There is no doubt that Hill's Fatal Notes will sell the rights, and since his novel moved to The New Zealand News to be serialized, sales and reach have grown.
As Wang Bo had originally suspected, "Fatal Notes" was quickly welcomed by readers after entering the market, and it took only ten days to grab the front page of the newspaper, and has been dominating the front page ever since.
With the popularity of this novel, many celebrities and well-known media began to pay attention to it, and New Zealand's national radio channel recently commented on the local novel, and "Notes" was called the last detective work on the list.
With such attention and popularity, it is already a certainty that "Notes" will be adapted into a big movie or TV series, and now it depends on who has more courage to win the adaptation rights of this novel.
The TV-2 channel is now mainly engaged in TV dramas, and in the past they just bought the copyright and then broadcast it, but now the high-level management has changed their minds, making their own TV and broadcasting it themselves, and investing and making money by themselves.
To appease Hill, Wang Bo first used the police system to check the phone number to prevent him from being deceived, and now there are many scammers in New Zealand, and fools are not enough.
According to the inquiry, the number belonged to a man named Trevor Hasiem, who then looked up the name and found out that he was indeed a producer and quite famous.
The filmmaker has been working in film and television since 1984, when he first made the documentary "Every Dancer's Dream", which was an instant hit and won a silver medal at the 20th Chicago International Film Festival.
In 2004 he moved to New Zealand National Television, where he was responsible for a number of programmes on TV2 and in the same year he was awarded the Lifetime Honours Award by the New Zealand Film Production and Development Association for the significant impact his film Father's Cabin and the animated television series Bran Town had on New Zealand's cultural scene.
All in all, there may be a lot of scammers in New Zealand, but calling Hill is not.
Wang Bo leaned back in his chair and turned his pen, and he muttered: "On the phone, have you negotiated the price?" ”
"Not yet, you know I'm more shrewd, I don't know much about the market, so I used a delaying tactic, I want you to come and talk about the price for me, I heard, Mayor You're the best in the world to negotiate the price."
Looking at Hill's complacent appearance, Lao Wang really didn't want to hit him, does this guy have a brain? It's not right to be so suspicious, after all, people without brains can't write the brain-burning "Fatal Notes".
However, his old king has nothing to do with the cultural circle and the film and television industry, and his understanding of copyright is not as good as that of Hildo, how can he negotiate the price for him? !
But he had other options, and now it was time to show his connections, and he thought about it and called the domineering president and asked him if he could find someone to inquire about the copyright price of a novel.
As soon as Battier heard it, he knew that he wanted to ask about the IP value of "Fatal Note", so he gave him a phone call, saying that it was John Barnett's, and that he had already said hello and could safely ask.
After hanging up the phone, Wang Bo didn't know what the name meant, so he asked Hill, "John Barnett, do you know this?" ”
Hearing this name, Hill's eyes suddenly widened, and he gasped: "God, you don't know this name?" ”
Lao Wang shrugged: "I don't pay attention to your New Zealand film and television industry at all. ”
"Even if you don't pay attention, you've probably heard his name, he's pretty much the biggest producer in New Zealand!" exclaimed. ”
"Isn't New Zealand's most famous producer Peter Jackson? Isn't it the Lord of the Rings series? Lao Wang looked at him suspiciously.
The fat writer blinked and continued to exclaim: "No, Peter is the most famous producer in the world from New Zealand, and John Barnett is the most famous producer in New Zealand!" If, I mean, if the call is his, then boss, then I'm going to be arrogant! ”
"Unfortunately, it wasn't him who called you."
Wang Bo searched for John Barnett's name on the Internet and found that this person is indeed very famous, and there are many related search terms and news.
The producer is an older producer, one of New Zealand's most prolific television producers, and also produces films and entertainment programs.
When Wang Bo attended the Four Towns Conference, Haney once recommended that he watch a feature-length soap opera called "Shortland Street," a TV series produced by John and produced by his South Pacific Film Company.
After identifying John Barnett, he called the phone, and the call was quickly connected, and someone asked, "This is Mr. Barnett's personal number, what is the matter with you?" ”
Wang Bo coughed and said very formally: "I'm a friend of Mr. Good-Battier, uh, do you know President Battier?" He asked me to contact Mr. Barnett because I had a script to talk to him. ”
"Of course, please wait."
Obviously, Battier's name is very good in New Zealand, and the other party's voice is immediately ten times softer when he hears it.
Soon a deep voice sounded: "Hello, I'm John ......" (To be continued. )
