"In terms of TV series, you already have an idea?" Levy's words rang in Theron's ears, and her reaction was one of utter surprise.

The difficulty of script creation of TV series is no worse than that of movies - of course, TV series do not need to be refined like movies, they need to be meticulously linked, they need to be echoed successively, they need to be coherent up and down, and everything must be in line with the theme, but the creation of TV drama scripts needs a more exciting story, the content is substantial, and it is also very important to interlock, and it is not easy to write, how busy is Levy Theron during this period of time, he has already thought about TV series during this time?

"What TV series are you thinking? Is it really like the media said, are you going to do a spin-off of CSI? Theron asked, puzzled.

"Alexander can preside over the production of the spin-off, and I don't need to work hard. It's just that the city is not so sure, and now they are looking at it. Levy didn't bother to reveal some of the information. During these days, CBS has always hoped that CSI will produce a spin-off, and Levy basically agrees with this, but where to choose this city is still a problem: there is a tax problem in filming in other cities, and different taxes will cause different costs. The CSI New York chapter in Levy's memory started filming because New York introduced a new tax law to give preferential treatment, and now there is no tax law, and Levy is not easy to determine the place, and Alexander is now also investigating to see which city has a higher tax refund and is more suitable for filming.

This kind of drama, don't worry about Levy, what he is worried about is the new TV series.

"So what does the new TV series you want to shoot look like?" Theron was also intrigued: she knew that Levy had experimented with a number of different types of films. Detective, political, romantic comedy. He experimented with a lot of projects, and Theron couldn't figure out what else he wanted to do.

"What I want to shoot is a super hero type TV series." For Theron, Levy has nothing to hide, "The main story is the story of a group of superpowered people living in a society of ordinary people."

"Superpowers?" Theron was stunned for a moment, and immediately figured it out. "Can such a TV series have a good income? Around, I don't doubt it, but can the ratings be good? ”

A TV series with a superpower theme. It's not that easy to shoot. The investment in such TV dramas is generally not small, and the viewers are mostly die-hard or young people who are not very old - people under the age of 17. It is not recorded in the ratings statistics. To shoot a TV series with such a theme, you must consider whether the audience is wide enough.

In fact, science fiction TV series, generally speaking, there is no shortage of die-hard loyalists, and there is no shortage of people who are willing to pay for TV series, but in terms of ratings, it is definitely not high. The most famous example. It's the TV series called "Evil Force" in Levy's memory. This TV series has been filmed for ten seasons, and the reason is because this TV series has attracted a large number of viewers with rotten girls as the core crowd. The peripheral products of the TV series are selling extremely well, but the ratings are ...... Hehe, a rating of 0.6 is a joke in front of a TV series like CSI that exceeds 15.

"I have a little bit of confidence in me – although I don't deny that I hope the special effects department can prepare for the film through the production of the TV series, but I still have a lot of confidence in this TV series."

Levy's words only made Theron smile, "Your confidence must be very high - you even have to use special effects to shoot a TV series?" Do you want that TV series to experiment? ”

At this time in the 90s, there were very few special effects used in the filming of TV series. Because this kind of TV series rarely has high ratings, it is naturally more economical. Use industrial exhaust fumes to represent demons, use winged shadows to represent angels, lead a husky and say it's a wolf, and make a little ugly scene and say it's a ghost...... Anyway, how to save money, how to come, special effects or something, can you eat it?

But what Levy wanted was to use special effects in the TV series - as long as the special effects department started, an episode of the TV series would have a cost price of several millions, to say the least. Such a TV series is not a very popular genre, isn't this a loss of money?

Even if Theron didn't care much about money, he felt a little distressed.

"It's true to do experiments, but you also have some confidence in me."

The TV series that Levy wants to come up with is actually very simple - what he wants to make is the TV series "Super Heroes" in his memory. In my memory, the viewership of this TV series is quite good, and the audience is quite fond of it, and it will not be a problem to produce it with funds.

"It's actually very easy to shoot a TV series, as long as we show people who have acquired superpowers, because the impact of superpowers on their daily lives, rather than their usual battles and fights, it can be very attractive. And then there are the interactions and processes of these people, they all affect each other, there are a lot of changes, the absolute protagonist, don't appear in the TV series......"

Levy explains what to pay attention to in the TV series. Theron has also taken a lot of classes lately, and if he explains things a little bit himself, they can understand.

As Levy said before, film and television works must be close to reality in order to make people resonate deeply enough. The success of this TV series is also a reason. If it's about people who have gained superpowers fighting, killing, and showing off, then the TV series will be boring after a few episodes - it's easy for superpowers to kill, and who likes to watch tuba abuse dishes all the time? But if it's about the confusion, helplessness, and confusion of a group of people after they have acquired superpowers, then there will be a different harvest.

"This idea may really work...... If this TV series is to be produced, it must have a very good script. Theron listened to Levy's words, although she didn't understand very well, but she also knew that Levi was prepared, and nodded, "You have a script, right?" ”

"Once you have the basic idea, you can leave the rest to the screenwriter."

Levy doesn't care as much about the show as he does with CSI — now is not the time for him to start his career, and he doesn't have to work so hard. Moreover, for this movie, he himself knows that the role he plays may not be as great as that of those professional screenwriters.

Because "Super Heroes" in Levy's memory is a bad show. At the beginning, this TV series was a great success because of its excellent characters and beautiful storyline. However, the screenwriter fell into the strange circle of digging deep into the family background of his parents without a story in American dramas, and as a result, the characters were old-fashioned, his abilities were rigid, and the story was not new.

Of course, such a result also has something to do with the background age of this TV series: this TV series appeared in 2006, and the second season coincided with the general strike of the Writers Guild of America, which can be regarded as luck.

And now that Levy is going to shoot, it doesn't need to change much in the first season. But by the time of the second and third seasons, there were a lot of things that needed to be changed. Levy was ready to let the writers do it themselves - he didn't have a writers' strike, the film wouldn't be so sad, maybe it would become a classic.

Moreover, Levy has a more grandiose consideration: he wants to knead elements from some superpower-type novels that he has seen in his previous life to directly build a larger superpower society. The back of this TV series has completely collapsed, but I have read a lot of novels, comics, film and television works, and there are all kinds of superpower elements in it, and it is not difficult to add some new elements to each season. Among the works I've seen, there are some science fiction works that have serious science fiction ideas about superpowers, as well as science fiction works with social analysis - of course, Levy's memory is incomplete and messy, and he wants to weave these things into a complete network by himself, and he can't do it, but fortunately, he is now the owner of a big production company, where can he write it himself if he wants to make a TV series? Throw out the ideas you remember and give them to the screenwriters to make reasonable ideas.

Of course, it would be nice if you could add some ideas yourself.

"In the past, some superpowers were too unscientific, and we have to make our TV drama scripts scientific." Levy doesn't care if the words superpower and science are sideways, "For example, you can set up a person who can generate electricity and be wrapped in an insulated carpet on an airplane and beaten to death, or a person who is immortal and falls in love with his offspring, or you can even write that a person who can manipulate the direction of energy, so that he can directly reject ultraviolet rays and excessive oxygen light, and the whole person looks weird, not even having secondary sex characteristics, or a person with a sister hand...... Oh no, the special superpower character of the right hand who forbids all superpowers......"

Anyway, in my memory, the TV series collapsed at the beginning of the second season, and Levy didn't care if it could be filmed flawlessly, but wanted to have some major surgery.

Levy knows that plagiarism cannot be copied for a lifetime. When I arrived, I always had to make something of my own. Just how do you make your own stuff? Levy doesn't think that he can become famous by finding a random street movie to change it, he is a person who seeks stability, and he still hopes to try it step by step. First try to integrate some things from novels into TV dramas, then you can try to shoot TV series with novels, and then use novels to shoot movies that you don't remember - you need to prepare for your future, adjust step by step, and improve step by step.

And the TV series is the best testing ground. After the filming of this TV series, I first have to see if I can do a good job in the Honkai TV series, second, I have to experiment with my own special effects company, and third, I need to let myself experiment, whether I can innovate the creativity of the movie - this TV series is killing three birds with one stone.

For myself, it is only necessary to shoot a TV series with such value. (To be continued......)
