Link was a little worried, although Johnny and Ellen were on the same pageant, plus Polk was the cameraman, and he was jointly responsible for the filming of the second season of "The Walking Dead", but he was still a little worried before Link saw it in person.

Johnny still smiled and said, "Don't worry, there's nothing wrong with Atlanta." The entire crew is still the original cast of the first season, and we are all too familiar with each other to have any problems. ”

Although Johnny said so, Link understood how serious the problem was now, and finally he hurried to the filming set of the second season of "The Walking Dead", until he found that the filming progress had reached the final stage, and there was really no problem, and then he was relieved to return to New York.

As soon as he got off the plane, Link habitually bought a few newspapers at hand. Sure enough, several big TV stations have begun to promote their American dramas.

The New York Times reported: "FOX TV has launched several American dramas this year's fall season, with the series titled '24 Hours' attracting the most attention. From the information released by Fox TV, we can see that "24 Hours" is a novel American drama with the 'timeline' as the narrative center. This is the first time in the history of American TV dramas, and it is an amazing and innovative theme. ”

Sure enough, it was about the same as Link had expected. The 'gimmick' of "24 Hours" lies in this innovative concept of "timeline", each episode tells a story that happens in an hour, and 24 hours is twenty-four episodes. It's just the right time to fill the entire season.

Similarly, the 'press releases' of other television stations have also appeared in the newspapers.

There are also reports of "The Sopranos" and "Six Feet Under" in the report, almost all of which are full of praise.

If it's just praise. Link certainly won't be much nervous. It is precisely because this American drama does have gimmicks, and there are elements of fire.

As long as a few big TV stations are not stupid, they will definitely risk their lives to do publicity.

Link suddenly remembered the previous data report from Nielsen Data, and there was a sentence in it that said.

"Due to the economic crisis and the continuous outbreak of unemployment, more and more people are staying at home and feeling irritable. And the worse the mood, the more they like to watch TV. ”

"Nielsen Data is the industry leader, and they really say it." Link couldn't help but sigh: "Once upon a time. There is no American drama that has ever surpassed 30 million viewers, and didn't my "The Walking Dead" and FOX TV's "Band of Brothers" break that spell last year? In addition to the popularity of these two American dramas, there is a more important reason. It's because of what Nielsen said in the data report. ”

For days, Link stayed in the office and didn't come home.

His mind is thinking about all kinds of propaganda plans all day long, to put it bluntly, this is how to hype, how to find gimmicks.

The first thing that came to his mind. Naturally, it is the 'prison break wind' in the network. And now it's been more than a month. The tide had apparently gone down a lot, and Link couldn't count on them anymore.

"So what else? What else is the stir-fry point that can be detonated? ”

Link smiled bitterly, "You can't expose anything more, can you?" The FBI is definitely coming to the door again, and I don't want to be caught in again. ”

While Link was meditating, the crews of the first season of "Prison Break" and the second season of "The Walking Dead" also successfully completed the filming progress of the pilot episode and returned to New York.

The whole office was buzzing with activity, and Johnny and Ellen were very excited to direct a crew independently for the first time.

And Jessica and Mira also did not come out of the filming of "Prison Break", and were still chatting about interesting things on the set.

"You can't imagine it. Carl was so frightened by T-Bag's performance that he jumped up from behind the camera several times, which was a shame. ”

Jessica covered her mouth and snickered. While jokingly looking at the annoyed Carl on the side.

Mira also smiled very happily: "Also, Charles's is also great, when he plays the mentally ill person, it is very similar." ”

Link sat behind his desk and smoked a cigarette silently, not thinking of joining the discussion.

When everyone noticed him, everyone looked at him strangely.

"Little boss, what's wrong with you?" Fat Jack had just returned with the crew of "Prison Break", and when he saw Link's abnormal performance, he couldn't help but ask strangely.

Mira and Jessica also gathered around, and when they saw Link's expressionless face, they knew that something must have happened.

"Are you alright?" Mira and Jessica looked at each other, walked up behind him gently, and asked with concern.

Link realized that his preoccupied appearance had made everyone's mood worse, and he couldn't help but smile apologetically.

"It's okay, how can it be okay?" Link laughed: "I was just thinking about something just now, and I was a little distracted." Now that everyone is back, let's get some rest. ”

After chatting with everyone for a while, the office was empty, leaving only Link, Mila and Jessica.

"Say it." Jessica sat across from Link, stared into his eyes and asked, "What the hell is going on?" Don't try to lie to us, you're in trouble. ”

Mira gently rubbed Link's shoulders and nodded approvingly.

Link smiled bitterly: "Sure enough, nothing can escape your eyes." ”

He told the whole story of the matter, and even Mira and Jessica realized the seriousness of the matter.

"What then?" Mila frowned slightly and said, "Even if the American dramas you said are very interesting, "Prison Break" is not weak." ”

Jessica also nodded, and couldn't help but glance at him: "You are just too eager for quick success, always thinking that your American drama can overpower others a lot, but that is simply impossible." Don't other TV stations have good scripts and directors? And so they do. ”

Link was suddenly stunned: "Yes, why should I be so impatient?" Am I not the best in the world? Why are you always worried about coming and going? ”

Link was stunned, and Mira also persuaded him in his ear: ""Prison Break" is no worse than other American dramas, we have so many good actors and such wonderful plots, even if the ratings can't overwhelm them, they won't be overwhelmed by anyone." ”

"Yes, yes, yes." Link suddenly figured it out, it was because he was too eager for quick success, and he couldn't help but glance at the two women gratefully: "It's good that you guys are here, otherwise I'll start drilling the horns again." ”

Mira and Jessica giggled, making them a lot happier to see Link out of their mental predicament.

At this time, there was a knock on the office door, and it was Miller who walked in.

"Hey, you're back so soon?"

When Miller found out that Mila and Jessica were there, he was already smiling and greeting.

After some pleasantries, Miller slowly took out a stack of things from his bag and placed them in front of Link.

"Here are some of the things I've written these days, I hope it will be useful to you." Miller said, with the signature smile on his face during the filming of "Prison Break", which still seemed so mysterious.

Link gave him a strange look, slowly flipping through the stack of things, and was immediately attracted at first glance.

After a quick read, he looked at Miller in surprise: "You wrote this?" ”

Miller smiled and nodded.

"This ...... Is this the background of the identities of several of the main characters in Prison Break? ”

Although Link was questioning, he had already decided in his heart.

"That's right." Miller reached out and took the stack of things, pointed to the clear identity settings, and said, "I see that you are in a bit of a hurry these days, so I wrote these things." ”

Miller stared into Link's eyes and said, "You're a good director, but you're not a good screenwriter." As he spoke, Miller already laughed: "It's not that the script of 'Prison Break' is not good enough, on the contrary, it is too good." Instead, the script of "Prison Break" is completely transparent, which is contrary to the whole story of "Prison Break". So, I wrote these things, setting the background of each character before and after prison, so that it can be connected to the whole story of "Prison Break", so that each character has a kind of ...... A ......"

Miller scratched his head, as if he couldn't find the right words to put it in.

"Realism." Link spoke suddenly, his eyes lit up as if there was a fire burning in there.

Miller also nodded excitedly: "That's right, it's realism." ”

Link had already stood up and walked over to Miller to give him a big hug.

"Thank you Miller, you have made me understand so much." Link looked at him with blazing eyes: "Thank you so much, until now I know that I am a little too impatient, and I want to try to simplify everything as much as possible, streamlined, which is a completely wrong idea." ”

Link sighed as he spoke.

He is under a lot of pressure now, and he always wants to achieve his goal quickly, thus zombie the essence of an excellent American drama.

Miller shook his head: "As I said, you taught me a lot. Now it's time for me to repay you. By the way, I forgot to tell you that I studied professionally in the UK. ”

"No wonder." Link laughed: "No wonder you have such a wonderful character setting for "Prison Break", which makes me bow down." ”

"Alright." Jessica glared at Link: "Don't thank you for coming and going, and you're willing to bow down, let's figure out how to make good use of this thing." ”

"Jessica is so right." Link laughed and kissed her on the cheek, but Jessica kept getting angry, and Miller quickly lowered his head and coughed a few times. (To be continued......)
