Westin walked in the building of Disney's headquarters, and his steps were unusually brisk and swift in the past few months. Half a year since CSI started broadcasting, this is the first time he has heard that the mystery company is not disgusted.

The name CSI, within ABC, can be described as a big name. It's just that, unlike CBS, which often talks about its new drama, on ABC's side, anyone who dares to mention this TV series is 100% unlucky.

Especially when Disney's current CEO, Disney Tyrant, appeared in ABC, the name of this TV series became a forbidden sentence.

Until now, Westin remembers that during the big statistics in November, Steve Michelson of ABC's entertainment department, after making a reasonable and well-founded statistic that had been recognized by Eisner, when Eisner praised him, he was momentarily proud, assuring Eisner, 'We can do our TV series as well as CSI' - after this sentence was finished, people immediately saw Eisner's expression change from a smile to June Frost, and then, a cold sentence blurted out, "You were fired." ”

"Why?" At that time, Steve's face was full of disbelief.

"Because I don't need something as good as that TV series, what I need, something better, something ten times better than him, a hundred times better! I don't need unmotivated employees like you, we need better people. ”

Poor Steve, who has since left ABC: he didn't figure it out until he left, what he said was wrong.

"I've been working hard for ABC for many years, so why should he fire me?" Steve's face was sad, but Westin couldn't keep him.

He knew very well that this was Eisner venting his anger, and he confidently entered the TV industry, but he suffered such a big loss just after entering the Tao, and others repeatedly mentioned it in front of him, which was simply his own death-seeking behavior. Eisner's Disney tyrant name is not for nothing, and where will the tyrant care about your previous efforts? Whoever mentions CSI in front of him is killing himself!

Even Westin only dared to come and consult with him after he had this good enough surprise news at hand. But when he walked outside Eisner's office, he could already hear someone talking about CSI inside.

Really daring?

"There are a lot of things we need to learn from CSI, first of all, their concept of TV drama production. Both CSI and ER have attached great importance to the process of specialization over the years, and only specialization can attract audiences, which cannot be ignored. Secondly, the narrative of multiple protagonists going hand in hand is becoming more and more popular, and it is also a ...... that we need to learn from"

Westin had already recognized the person: the one who had the audacity to talk to Eisner like that, of course, was not from within ABC, it was Bruckheimer, the top gold producer. I heard that Eisner had brought him in to make up for his mistakes and prepare a new TV series for ABC, and I don't know what they were talking about - it just sounded like Eisner wouldn't be happy about this conversation.

"Jerry, you must be joking with me, I want to ask you to produce a TV series, I want to see your traditional TV series: let's see, the most professional ** heroic TV series, how to shoot!"

Listening to it, Eisner was very unhappy.

"The intrinsic nature of any TV series is the same, the plot structure setting, the proportion of the story and the characters, and the character image setting, which are the focus of the TV series. Their TV series is good because of the plot structure and the depth of the story, which does not conflict with my philosophy. Bruckheimer immediately replied, "Moreover, I like this TV series very much, don't you like it?" The music at the beginning is thewho, don't you like it? ”

Westin knew that Bruckheimer was a die-hard member of TheWHO, and the CSI's theme song was enough for him to support CSI. It's just that his question is too frustrating, and asking Eisner if he likes CSI is simply killing him. Not wanting Eisner to have a heart attack, Westin knocked on the door and walked into the office.

"What's the matter?"

"A message, it's information about the mystery company. They seem to be working on a new TV show and it seems that they haven't decided which station to broadcast it on yet. Westin saw that Eisner was in a bad mood, and said his intentions straight to the point, and his words made Bruckheimer stand up and walk out of the office directly: This is an internal matter of Disney.

Mystery Inc.? The name was enough to make Eisner frown, and he waved his hand, trying to signal that he would ignore it at all, but, thinking of the terrifying high ratings of CSI, he raised his hand and stopped.

CSI was rejected, although Eisner didn't allow others to mention it, and after talking about it, he always insisted that the TV series was not in line with the typhoon, but in the bottom of his heart, it would be a lie to say that he had no regrets. No matter how you say it's money, high-income TV series represent a steady stream of money, as a businessman, how can anyone not like money?

"What new drama are they producing? A new crime drama? Eisner hesitated for a long time, but then asked.

"No, it's not, it's not a TV show this time, it's a TV show." Westin immediately spoke, "As far as I know, what they're going to produce is a puzzle show. ”

"TV shows? Puzzles? These two words made Eisner laugh dumbly, "Their gang of people, solving cases, playing with autopsy, is it okay, puzzle TV shows?" Teach people how to commit crimes, or teach people how to dissect corpses? Is it necessary to buy such a show? ”

You don't let us mention it, you yourself care a lot about their TV series, Westin laughed and complained in his heart.

Eisner's smile contained mockery: a company that made crime dramas with a strong taste for crime dramas suddenly said that they wanted to make a puzzle TV show, and the contrast between the two TV shows was too great, and he didn't believe that Mystery could do it.

Besides, Westin shouldn't have trusted them to do a good job, so why should he bother?

Westin quickly explained, "I think that by acquiring this show, we can establish a good relationship with Mystery Company, although this time the show may not be very good, but after Mystery Company may have a good TV series production." ”

As the president of ABC, Westin got a lot of information, and he heard that Levy wanted to make a movie, but CBS didn't support him much because of the need to produce his own TV series. Westin sees this as a great opportunity: for Disney, releasing a movie is as simple as eating and drinking, and helping Enigma release a movie will make friends with Enigma, so that they will not be biased towards CBS, but will turn their heads towards ABC, which is a great opportunity.

Hollywood's TV drama production companies, there are more than 20 on the scale, some of them are still on the pay desk, these companies, it is better to win over one than to exclude one, Eisner made a mistake half a year ago, and Westin also wants to make up for it.

Westin's statement is also somewhat correct, Disney releases movies is indeed a simple matter, even if it is not optimistic about the other party's program, there is no big harm in investing in it - especially now that ABC is still losing money, broadcasting a TV show, there is no loss to ABC.

It's just that the problem is that the Mystery Company was driven away by Eisner in the first place.

Eisner sat behind his desk, silent for a moment. His face was gloomy, his fingers twitched a few times, his mouth twitched two or three times, and he couldn't say a word. He couldn't decide whether he should work with Mystery Corporation.

Fortunately, he didn't refuse this time, and he had already hesitated.

Westin watched him hesitate, and also decided to strike while the iron was hot, "It's not a loss to please them now, we made mistakes before, and now we are making up for our mistakes, and we are paving the way for the future......"

"Pleasing them? We are Disney! Disney! I don't need to please anyone! And, remember, I didn't make a mistake either! ”

Like a cat with its paws stepped on, Eisner roared. Westin's words backfired, making Eisner furious at once. In the past six months, CSI's excellent ratings have made him, the boss of the company, secretly ridiculed, and he has endured it for a long time. And now, he was told that he had made a mistake? This is intolerable!

"We have no reason to give in to them! Let them toss it, just to see what tricks they can toss! Why should we be afraid of them, we have Jerry, Jerry is the top producer, with Jerry here, we are afraid that we can't defeat them? We have the best producers, but they are killing themselves, and it will only be us who will win! ”

Westin shook his head and left the office, while Bruckheimer was still at the door, saw him walking out the door and patted him on the shoulder.

"Don't worry, he's just too stressed." Bruckheimer said with a smile.

"I wouldn't care, and he's right, with you, we don't have to worry about Mystery Inc." Westin also decided to curry favor with Bruckheimer.

"Don't compliment me, I'm not Michael," Bruckheimer shook his head, "I don't have the confidence to win over Mystery. Michael is also stubborn-he said that he was a rival to the Mystery Company when he came to me, and he didn't want to think about how many people in this world were worthy of being my opponent. ”
