"It's almost afternoon, isn't it? Bob, are you interested in finding a place to spend the night? ”

"Nick, are you really in the mood to think about playing?"

At the same time as the screening began, Levy and Bob were chatting in Mystery Company. In this room, not only Levy, Bob and a few other people, but almost the entire CSI production team, from the screenwriter, to the starring, to the filmmaker, are all here.

There is no impermeable wall in the world, and these days, they have all vaguely heard that this TV series may have been denied by ABC internally. This news makes everyone here worry: every year, every TV station has 20 TV series that will be brushed down directly before they are released, and among the remaining 10 TV series, six or seven will be cut, and anyone who shoots TV series does not dare to guarantee that it will be 100% able to become a hit drama, and it is common for two or three months to be busy and shoot one or two episodes of TV series. Before the CSI filming ended, such news came out, and the entire crew was all flustered.

Fortunately, I heard that the producer still has some relationship with ABC, and although the TV series was rejected, it can still be shown at ABC's screenings. This makes the crew at least have some hope in their hearts, and they are all waiting for news in the mystery company these days.

Of course, there are some people who have a different mind: if the TV series is really over, then they have to get compensation for the long-term contract they signed with the mystery company.

"We have to get the compensation we deserve." As one of the screenwriters of the TV series, Hansen, after hearing that the TV series was rejected, immediately turned his face, "I have seen a lot of film companies that run away if they are smashed, don't think about slipping away." ”

"This is our own miscalculation, hiring those people with professional knowledge in criminal investigation as screenwriters, it is difficult to run."

Hansen scoffed at Levy's jokes at this time: he had been in Hollywood for several years, and he had participated in the production of more than one or two crime dramas, and he knew all too well how brutal the competition for TV dramas was. Do you want to re-release a TV series that has already been cut? How good is Law & Order? Why do you want to do it in the long run, it's a serious matter to ask for compensation!

Today, the screening has begun, and if things go smoothly over there, then, of course, I will continue to be the screenwriter of the TV series, and the good TV series must be the credit of the screenwriter, and I can continue to get money. And if the screening doesn't go well...... That's definitely not my fault as a screenwriter, and the compensation I deserve can't be less.

Some people like to hold themselves accountable after the failure of the TV series, talk about friendship, and don't compensate, it's definitely not themselves. Friendship can be said, and you can come next time you do a TV series, but the money is a lot.

For the sake of money, Hansen had already prepared for it. At the beginning of today's screening, Hansen came to the company with the crew, and several people from the Mystery Company were left in the company by them, leaving Alexander alone to go to the screening to see the results - what if these people were put in the screening and saw that the results were not good, and they just slipped away?

"It's taking us for liars." In this regard, Clark gritted his teeth, "When we formed the crew a few days ago, we gave a lot of money, and an episode of the script was a salary of 3,000 US dollars, an absolute high salary, but now, we have become liars." When I recover, I'll have to be fired."

"Don't be too angry, it's all about the money," Levy was just as dissatisfied with this, but he thought about it for a longer time and fired all these people, how can he start filming in the future? "Don't worry, as long as the TV series passes, they will apologize to us immediately."

The TV series passed? Dream of it. Hansen snorted coldly beside them. The re-release of the cut drama has to be a particularly high-level production company, and you are a small company, you really dare to think about it.

The waiting process is quite painful, except for the producer who seems to be a little unaware, everyone else has almost exhausted their patience in the process of waiting. The screening started early in the morning, but it wasn't until the afternoon that Alex, another boss of the company, returned to the company belatedly.

Fortunately, if this guy runs away, it won't be easy to find. It's just that, looking at his happy face, is the development of things really unexpected?

"After the screening was opened, the TV series has received a lot of praise, and these days, many people have been asked about the possibility of advertising investment in TV dramas, overseas copyrights, and several TV stations, mainly in Canada, have also consulted the price, and want to buy the broadcast rights of the TV series - Nick, we have proved that this TV series is really beyond ABC's expectations."

Since the beginning of the screening, although everyone is waiting for news here, all their thoughts are on the screening, and now, I heard that the situation at the screening is good, which makes everyone happy.

Beside Bob, the screenwriters heard the news and began to high-five to celebrate, while the actors heard the news, several people began to hug and celebrate, and the person in charge of the sound effects simply danced directly.

"I knew that our TV series would definitely have this result!" Clark was the first to shout: he couldn't help it after being seen as a liar for so long.

As soon as his voice fell, a whistle was already sounding, and everyone was blowing the whistle in response to him.

In the crowd, only Hansen was a little surprised: Did the TV series really pass?

"It's not the best, there's something even more gratifying." Alexander shouted loudly, jumped directly into the chair by the way, and stood taller than everyone else so that everyone could hear his voice, "Some companies have started to contact us, our TV series, there are already people willing to cooperate with us." Contact us, there is HP, they are willing to provide us with computers as props, AMG, they are willing to provide us with Humvees, as well as clothing, mobile phones, there is more than one company to provide us with cooperation, as long as our new TV series is broadcast, we can immediately have free computers, cars, clothing! ”

Another cheer rang out, and Hansen stood in the crowd, stunned for a long time before muttering 'CSI has never had a Humvee to solve a case', and was immediately suppressed by a burst of laughter and scolding.

"The Hummer is already good, and those policemen are driving Chevrolets to solve crimes, a Humvee, what is it?"

Amid the scolding of several people, Alexander spoke triumphantly again.

"The staff of "TVSHOW", "TV Weekly" and other media at the screening have already made evaluations of our TV series, and they believe that the ratings of our TV series are likely to exceed 3 percentage points! 3 percentage points, you know what that means! ”

"Renew!" This time, so the people shouted out again.

For TV network TV dramas, the ratings are more noteworthy numbers than the number of viewers. There may be a lot of overage or underage viewers in the viewership, and the ratings are completely staring at the golden age group. In the field of TV dramas, if the ratings exceed 1.5, it is possible to become the training object of the TV network, and if it exceeds 2, it is possible to get a renewal, and if it really exceeds 3, it will be 100% renewed!

These media are not Disney's media, if the TV series was originally NBC, or Fox, then they may still be able to suppress or tout, without these interference factors, these 3 percentage points is a fairly objective estimate.

There was a look of surprise on everyone's faces, and at this time, Bob also smiled and said, "What did ABC say over there?" If they want us to keep the show on their side, they'll have to apologize to us. ”

This time, Alexander didn't continue to answer, his expression was a little embarrassed, and such an embarrassed look was immediately captured by Hansen, "ABC didn't speak?" ABC didn't reply? You can't tell you all fake, right? After talking for a long time, ABC still didn't give any reply! ”

Hansen immediately thought of something, "It's definitely Eisner who is in charge of ABC, and the 'Disney tyrant' will never admit it!" You said so much, but the TV series was still denied, right? The TV series that can't be released has 100 ratings, and it's not all based on your mouth! ”

"Listen to me, TV networks are not just ABC......"

"Where are the other TV networks? How long do we have to wait? We are not from your company, we need it, but we have real money, we don't want to wait for other TV networks that don't know where they are, what we need is money! ”

Anyway, he had already torn his face with the mystery company, and Hansen didn't care at all when he quarreled. Moreover, in his opinion, this is just Alexander's bragging: what is said to be praised again and again, and what is said to be ordered in a row can be considered, but in fact, is it not impossible to broadcast it? There are many scammers who know more about this kind of tricks, when everyone is a three-year-old child.

"Well, all you need is money...... Alexander looked at Hansen with some annoyance, glanced at Levy before speaking again, "I'll give you compensation right away and allow you to leave." But as the initial crew member, before leaving, I have a friend that I want you to get to know you. ”

As he spoke, Alexander raised his wrist and looked at his watch, "It's almost five o'clock, are you sure you don't want to see you at the time that Mr. Leslie Muvis and I have made an appointment?" ”

"Leslie Mulvis? President of Entertainment at NBC? When Hansen heard the name, he suddenly realized that he seemed to have done something wrong.

"Yes, I met at the screening today, and he asked me to come over later to talk about the acquisition of TV dramas. I'd like him to get to know all the original crew, so please stay for a while, and after a while, you can go and claim the compensation...... By the way, you're talking about us? Who else is ready to leave with him? ”

Around Hansen, people all took a step back: the compensation is very good, but compared to the opportunity and income to work in the crew for a long time, what is the compensation?

"Since there's no one else to leave, that's good." Alexander glanced around, "Let's all work together, clean up the company, don't make a mess!" Remember, we are a big company doing business with CBS and ABC, and this place is not a place where you can come around, and sweep out all the useless garbage for me! ”
