Levy's thoughts had not been told to anyone else, but in his heart, he did remember a few similar incidents.

Levy is not the first to engage in the experimental field in this way: in his memory, there is a TV series with a lot of personality "Waste Wood Alliance" that is such a TV series in the experimental field mode. As a sitcom, the ratings of this TV series have not been high, and the reviews are not good, but the creativity of this TV series is endless, and the screenwriter's way of filming by letting his imagination run wild has always been praised. In my memory, when this TV series was having fun, he even dared to use clay puppet animation for the whole episode, or use video game mode to act, and even the screenwriter himself admitted that this TV series was just to let his mind act wantonly.

Such TV series often have very unimaginable evaluations in terms of reviews, because they are not restrained and do not care about the ratings, such TV series are often very distinctive.

I did it myself, but it was pretty much the same thing. It's just that the difference is that he won't be so undisciplined that he will make things happen with clay puppet animations, and if he wants to be reckless, he may not be worse than them.

For his idea, in fact, several people in the company are very supportive.

"Your idea is too crazy, the first season is going to blow up New York, which is already quite a big deal, but the branch line you arranged is basically to form a big net, and simply create a society of superpowers...... It's a really crazy idea, but I love it. ”

When he returned to the company and mentioned his idea to Bob, Bob was full of praise for it. There are actually a lot of stories about superpowers, but most of them are games between superpowers. Professor X has spent almost his entire life working with Magneto...... No, fighting, the rest of the time is also playing games with superpowers. In such a story, there are no ordinary people, and there are few psychological changes caused by mutants' human emotions and self-evolution. Marvel got off to a good start, but in order to sell figurines and pay less taxes, the undisciplined propaganda mutants are not considered human...... And now, Levy has involved ordinary people, and even made superpowers ordinary people, which is quite a good idea and excavation focus.

Anyway, American dramas are not their main business, and when they make a TV series, they use their own special effects company to ensure that their special effects company has some income, and at the same time shoot TV series. Experiment with your own ideas, see how much merit there is in those things you have watched, and at the same time, the large area of the TV series shop also opens up your own network, so that you have the opportunity to cooperate with other companies and other actors. As for making money, seeking fame or something. Under this plan of killing three birds with one stone, it is trivial.

No, it should kill four birds with one stone.

Levy remembered something again: science fiction film and television works, compared to other types of works. There is also a small privilege. Other works have succeeded, at most they are adaptations of novels, while science fiction can be adapted into comics. Levy remembers a lot of TV series in the future. After the TV station broadcast poor ratings, they directly chose to cut off the film and television works, and then continued them on the comics. And the TV series "Hero". is definitely a popular work that can be adapted into comics.

Perhaps, this work can also help you build a bridge with the comic industry. Levy pondered in his mind. No one knows better than him how much potential the now-slumping hero film has in the future. In such a heroic craze where even the gourd baby was almost dragged out to shoot a live-action version, it is definitely not a bad thing to be able to have a good relationship with the comic industry.

"So, this TV series is your company's next step? It seems that this TV series is hardly a guarantee of ratings, right? I think if you just come up with such a show, then, whether it's CBS or ABC, it's hard to say that it's satisfying, right? ”

Although Bob still felt quite novel about Levy's idea, he quickly thought of doing so, but he was afraid that Leslie's side would not be satisfied with it - although the TV series looked good, it didn't particularly meet the requirements of CBS. CBS asks for TV shows that are more suitable for older people, and the TV series Super Hero is not for the elderly.

"I know, I've thought about it. We can experiment with TV dramas, so the question of making money is to make reality shows. In this regard, Levy said his opinion, "TV shows are relatively easy to produce, especially reality shows, as long as the participants are selected, the rules are formulated, and the whole process is taken care of - this kind of thing, it is simpler than TV dramas, and it makes more money, why not do it?" ”

Anyway, the role of TV series is to make money, and Levy's idea is to just make a few TV shows.

In fact, Levy still has a lot of good ideas in his hands, "Prison Break", "24 Hours", "Breaking Bad" and any of these TV series are enough to shock. It's just that Levy is more embarrassed that these TV series are all works of pay stations, which require relatively high investment, and public stations will not consider spending $25 million to shoot an episode of a TV series, and the scale of pay stations in the 90s is not as big as in the future, and now they are not willing to spend large-scale investment to make TV series, so this also makes these classics useless scrap now.

In this regard, Levy has no choice: many things have their own time, technological development, economic development, and major historical events will greatly affect the entertainment industry. At the end of the 90s, film and television under advanced technology, or the products promoted by more developed television and online media in the future, are obviously impossible to shoot now.

At this time, the inflow of Hispanics has not attracted attention, anti-terrorism is not a thing that people care about, prison-themed TV series, HBO just staged the well-received "Prison Storm" last year, many things once filmed, but will cause unnecessary trouble - Levi still remembers the movie "Heavenly Dynasty", which can be said to be a very good movie, because unfortunately it was released after 911, which caused a lot of disgust - the audience is not concerned about whether the movie is good or not, Rather, the film celebrates Muslims.

Levy didn't want to make that mistake and now filming Breaking Bad, which was provoking Latinos. In Los Angeles, there are many Latinos.

"We shoot a TV show and we can make CBS happy. Do you remember the Swedish TV show Robinson Adventures that we bought? Last year I had people buy the rights to the American version of it, and now we want to make money and just shoot it. ”

Robinson's Expedition -- This show that was released in Sweden last summer actually has another name, Survivor. The show was conceived by the British in '94, but unfortunately no company was willing to take over. It wasn't until '96 that the Swedes accepted the rights to the film, and it wasn't until the fall of '97 that the TV show was staged.

But its copyright, as early as the first half of '97, was bought by Levy. Now, with the financial resources of Mystery Company, it is not difficult to find a film crew to shoot.

"Nick, I really don't know how you could have guessed that this TV show would become popular...... It's incredible, and with this TV show, we have one more great project for our company! ”

Bob was also quite surprised by the copyright that Levy took out. What surprised him even more was that the proposal written by Levy was better and better than the one provided by the Swedish side, and it seemed that he had made the game more interesting.

Bob knew that Levy had always emphasized the importance of being ahead of the curve, but he didn't expect that Levy could really do so well.

"With this TV show, what else do we have to fear? Nick, I don't think there's anything wrong with the other aspects, but there's one thing that I want you to pay attention to: this crazy reality show, although it makes money, really doesn't have any technical content. This kind of show is a tool to make money, people watch it lively, and no one will remember it after watching it - this kind of thing makes a lot of money and is easy, and you don't want to do anything else. ”

Bob only made one last comment as he looked at Levy's plan. In his opinion, Levy must have put a lot of effort into being able to think about these things so thoughtfully, and it was really not worth it to make such a thing.

As a film director, you should think more about how to make top-notch movies. What Levy is now producing is not a movie, but a reality show that is even lower than the TV series. It took a lot of thought to make something like this, and Bob was worried about whether Levy was still in the mood to make a movie.

After all, this thing comes quickly, and it is much simpler, and it is impossible for anyone who likes money to get rid of its temptation.

"I'm just doing this to continue working with CBS, don't worry, I'm not in the mood to spend too much time on TV."

Levy certainly wouldn't be so bored as to make TV shows his mainstay - TV shows are good, but it's easy to make money. But how could Levy care about money? The stocks he bought at the beginning can be exchanged for a lot of money with a little manipulation - now is the time when the Internet bubble is hot, if you want money, investing in this field is much faster than making money from TV dramas, other filmmakers don't know how to do business, don't dare to engage in finance, and Levy doesn't have such concerns, and he doesn't care about money.

"I'm definitely not going to be particularly concerned about that – so my idea is to let Michael do the specific work. As for me...... The post-production of the film is basically over, and now it should be further publicity, which is the focus of my work. (To be continued......)
