"Bruce, are you here to see your brother's TV series this time?"

Hearing a similar question come up again, Bruce Levy was still talking and laughing, but he still had some impatience on his face.

Why is everyone struggling with Nick's TV series? Do they really not know that the show has been privately vetoed by the ABC, and they want to show concern, or are they disgusting themselves with these words? Either way, these words sound very unpleasant. Why is his younger brother really bad, and he has encountered a street situation again?

Regardless of whether they were wrong: Bruce was the head of the film department of "Variety," and it stands to reason that he shouldn't have come to the TV show. He came here today to help his younger brother and see if there is a chance for his TV series to find a way out. It's just that Bruce isn't very optimistic about this - the ABC has vetoed it internally before it even has a screening, and they even say that the TV series has overturned all of Disney's creeds.

How can a TV series be filmed to be able to overthrow the ** hero mode, copy the classic strategy, and offensive of all ages? Bruce hadn't seen the TV series, not even the script, but in his heart, he wasn't optimistic about the show: maybe Disney had a mistake, but where did Nick have the level to question them? If such a big deal is successful, it will be a classic, and if Brumsheimer did it, he would be interested, but his brother would do it...... Forget it, if his younger brother really has the ability, he won't be at the end of the road to shoot a TV series.

This is not to despise his younger brother, this is to be cautious as a top film critic. How can a person like his younger brother, who has failed more than once, create a top-notch TV series? Some people break the routine because they are geniuses, and some break the routine because they don't have enough brains. Thinking of his brother who just lost nearly one million because of a movie, Bruce doesn't believe him when he says he is shrewd and capable.

However, fortunately, according to my friends in ABC, this TV series was rejected because it violated too many ABC rules. In other words, although ABC is not optimistic about this TV series, it still admits that this TV series still has a certain level of filming. This makes Bruce have some expectations: even if all these rules are violated, it will be difficult to become a hit drama, but if the level of filming is still good, then it is still possible to find a small TV station to broadcast it.

Now there's only one problem: if the show can attract enough advertisers during the screening, maybe it can be sold to smaller TV stations. If advertisers have a good evaluation of it, then the big four TV networks may not be willing to broadcast it, but other TV stations should always be willing to accept this TV series, right?

After all, whether advertisers like it or not largely determines the future of TV series.

Generally speaking, the broadcast of TV programs is based on an hour or half an hour as a time period, and a considerable part of this time is used for advertising broadcast. For a TV series, the length of the plot is about 42 minutes, and the sitcom is about 22 minutes, and the purpose is to leave 18 minutes or 8 minutes of advertising time.

This is true for all public television programmes - a little different in the case of pay stations, because they have already paid subscribers, so they advertise slightly less, reaching 50 and 27 minutes in length.

Either way, advertising costs are an extremely important part of TV dramas. A very important role of the screening will be to see how many people are interested in investing in advertising for TV dramas, if there are many advertisers, then the advertising fee can also rise, if the advertising fee is more, then naturally there will be no worries about sales.

Calculated on public stations, there are 36 advertisements for every 30 seconds and 18 minutes for 18 minutes. Generally speaking, the top 20 TV dramas in the ratings can reach 100,000 yuan and 30 seconds of advertising fees, such TV series, which TV station is sure to make money - for example, the story of the emergency room, many people saw the production cost of that episode of tens of millions of horrors, and they all felt that the investment in this TV series was too high, it was incredible, but what few people know is that the advertising cost of the story of the emergency room has reached the level of 600,000 per 30 seconds - that is, the advertising cost alone is advertising money, This TV series can earn a lot of money, and with other effects, this price is not expensive at all.

And if it is a relatively poor TV series with poor ratings, then, at the lowest time, the 30-second advertising fee is about 20,000 US dollars. But even so, this means that it is about 700,000 advertising costs. For big TV stations, this amount of money is definitely not enough to watch, but for small TV stations, being able to recover such a price is enough for TV series to be filmed.

The only question Bruce is worried about now is whether Levy's TV series will be able to attract enough advertisers. The number of people advertisers pay attention to determines whether the TV series will be broadcast in the future and where it will be broadcast.

I just don't know how far it will go...... If it can reach 50,000 US dollars for 30 seconds, then this TV series will basically not be sold. Eisner is domineering, and when he sees a TV series that doesn't meet his overall plan, he will give up, 50,000 US dollars and 30 seconds, they can't watch it, but other TV stations, not necessarily, if the production level is good, maybe they will accept this TV series - TV series can get better and better, TV series of this level, if you find a way to save it, you can definitely watch it.

There is only one question left: how is this TV series?

"Mr. Bruce Levy, it's a pleasure to meet you. Richard, Richard Morgan, I'm the guy in charge of you on the ABC side. Please come here, that TV series will be shown here. ”

When I walked to the ABC screening hall, someone had already greeted me from a distance. Bruce casually glanced around, obviously, the broadcast time of CSI is not very good, there are not many people here, this TV series is obviously not the TV series that ABC mainly wants to broadcast this year, in comparison, their welcome to themselves is far more than their enthusiasm for TV series.

However, this enthusiasm also made Bruce just raise his eyebrows quietly: before the Oscars, they respected themselves and their fathers enough, and before the Oscars, they refused to offend the critics. But as soon as the Oscars ended, they had already vetoed the TV series internally - how much money can this respect be worth?

"Richard, you prepare, there are not a few people who may come to this venue to review in a while." Bruce was not polite either, and opened his mouth directly, "I saw Mr. Rottweiler and Mr. Johnson just now, and they both said that they would come over later, so you can prepare a little." ”

Knowing that he was looked down upon, Bruce could only name the names of the two big advertisers, hoping to use them to deter Richard. Unfortunately, he saw that Richard's smile had barely changed: ABC was not a small station, and the receptionists had not seen anything in the world, and they were not intimidated by a name or two. Moreover, at this screening, there are countless investors and film buyers, and it is not the key to see which TV series to choose, but which one to invest in.

I hope that this TV series has some investment value - when this idea is still in his mind, Bruce also walked to the venue, and what he saw was also the layout of the CSI in front of him.

These leading actors are all good-looking. This was Bruce's first impression. The simple night scene of Las Vegas, combined with the group portrait of the five leading actors, tells people what this TV series is about in a simple and clear way. The poster made Bruce nod and walk into the room.

Inside the venue, there were people sitting in twos and threes. When Bruce came in, it was basically full, Richard said sorry and walked away quickly, which also made Bruce laugh: This TV series, I'm afraid it's just for myself to watch, right?

Let's see, how good the TV series is.

The broadcast of the TV series began, and with the sound of music, the night view of Las Vegas began to appear in front of people's eyes, which is not a very unrecognizable scene, especially with some gloomy tones, which suddenly made the location of the TV series perfectly displayed. And in the night scene, the constantly interspersed shots of ammunition for guns also let people know that this is a crime drama.

Only in Las Vegas can there be such a hue, such a night view.

This opening made Bruce's eyes light up. The tones, the scenes, the themes are completely well integrated, this is Vegas, the colors, the scenes, the story are all Vegas!

The TV series was still playing, a voice sounded, reciting a suicide note, and the camera was also pushed from the long view to the close view, the camera kept getting closer, and the figure with his back to the camera walked into a room, and then, the gunshots rang out.

"Bang!" A gunshot rang out, which lifted everyone's spirits.

It begins with death...... Moreover, as a crime drama, whoever sees this beginning will feel that it was a homicide he killed.

Is it a direct display of crime in the first place?

In less than a minute, everything was explained clearly. No wonder ABC denied this drama, but did not dare to say that this drama was not well filmed.

Thinking of this, Bruce also stretched out a little in his chair, picked up a muffin from the table next to him, and watched TV more relaxedly.

In the venue of the TV show, there will always be different snacks and drinks, and the people who come to see the film are either critics or advertisers, and they are all uncles that the TV network can't afford to provoke.

Sure enough, as Bruce thought, after a series of evidence collection, the family of the deceased denied that this was the deceased's message. This process is not unexpected, but during the period, the police officer's determination of the cause of death of the deceased, as well as the use of maggots on the body to judge the time of death, makes people feel that it is okay.

Then, after revealing that it was a homicide, the music began to play.

"Whoareyou......" Bruce whispered. He didn't pay attention to the obvious night scene and the distinctive color tone, but the theme song - "Whoareyou" from the rock band thewho's 1978 album, which constantly interrogated who, who, whose simple and clear music, with a strong electronic rock style, was perfect as the theme song of a crime drama set in Las Vegas.

It's done beautifully, and just this one theme song is enough to attract many people.

The theme, the tone, the music, all blended, and unwittingly pleased the prime viewer - Bruce suddenly found that this TV series may be much better than he imagined.

Once again, I underestimated my brother.
