Chapter 391: Looking for a collaborator
With the triple authentication of fingerprints, voices, and passwords, Chu Shi carefully opened his safe after locking the door of the room and tightening the curtains.
It's not that he's timid, but when ordering the safe, Chu Shi proposed the function of 'automatic destruction', if there is a mistake in any link in the process of triple authentication, as long as the error is accumulated twice, the priceless text in the safe will be burned instantly, and it will not be used for a second, and it will be turned into ashes, which is also to ensure that these works will not leak out.
Although it is a priceless treasure, even if it is patronized by thieves and destroyed by accident, these things have already been deeply imprinted in Chu Shi's mind, and their storage is just Chu Shi for convenience, and it is really destroyed, and Chu Shi can create it again in minutes.
But the lazy Chu Shi didn't want to waste this kung fu anymore, so he naturally had to be cautious.
Finally opened the safe, Chu Shi rummaged through the thick texts stacked up inside for a long time, and finally found a script that was not too thick, and pulled it out of the many scripts with a sudden force, and after watching it, he nodded with satisfaction, and locked the other scripts back into the safe again.
After finishing a while, Chu Shicai put the crumpled script in his hand flat on the table and browsed it quietly.
It is somewhat similar to the work handed over to Yu Zheng, not so much a script, but an idea and synopsis!
After all, Chu Shi already had an idea for this TV series a long time ago, and even wanted to use this work to open up the American drama market, so naturally he had already written a plan.
The investment in high-quality American dramas is high and the threshold is huge, but there are also many excellent large-investment American dramas that belong to mini-series with few episodes, and usually only have a dozen or twenty episodes at most, the reason for this is that the production company wants to reduce investment, after all, each episode of a TV series requires an investment of millions of dollars, and if it is a TV series with hundreds of episodes, they dare not invest rashly, even if the script is excellent.
But if you choose to make a mini-series with only a few episodes or a dozen episodes, there will be no worries about this, at best, it is an investment of tens of millions, and any powerful entertainment company can bear it alone, if this TV series can be used to catch fire, you can produce the second season, the third season or even more, which greatly reduces the risk, of course, this will also increase the cost of subsequent drama production, but with the excessive risk, the company does not care about these investments.
If Chu Shi writes the acquired comics into mini-series with only a dozen episodes, and then submits the script to the major TV drama production companies in the United States, with the script in hand, Chu Shi believes that it will be very easily favored by many entertainment companies, but after taking a fancy to it, any entertainment company has enough ability to choose to produce Zuò alone, so why cooperate with Chu Shi?
At best, it is an investment of tens of millions, even if Chu Shi is promised to exchange the script for a share, Chu Shi will not be allowed to invest too much money, which will greatly reduce their income.
But if the script is made into dozens, or even hundreds of episodes, of TV dramas, instead of just a dozen episodes of mini-series......
Things have changed again!
Nearly 100 million, or even hundreds of millions of high investment, even the top TV drama production company in the United States does not dare to take the risk alone, even if Chu Shi is confident that the quality of his script is extraordinary, but the problem is that this TV series is too novel, it is completely a genre that has never appeared on the market, even if it has the potential to be a fire, no one dares to use hundreds of millions of dollars to take this risk.
will inevitably find other investors to invest in this TV series, although it will thin out the profits, but it can also take risks, and among the many collaborators, it is obvious that Chu Shi, as the screenwriter of the TV series, is very suitable to save - of course, the premise is that Chu Shi can come up with enough money, otherwise it is impossible to do even if it is suitable.
And now, Chu Shi's safe has accumulated quite a number of high-quality works, such as the long one in his hand, and a season of TV series will be filmed every one or two years in the future, if the script is written directly, I am afraid that just such a script will directly fill Chu Shi's safe, and it will take Chu Shi a lot of time, and it is precisely because of this that Chu Shi did not completely perfect this script before.
But even so, Chu Shi also made a rather detailed analysis of the script, after all, it is a work that intends to start filming in the near future, even if the script is not completely completed, it is definitely not too much.
Chu Shi also took advantage of the free time of filming some time ago to probably write the plot of each episode in the script, although only dozens or less than a hundred words were written in each episode, but this is definitely the essence of the essence!
Not to mention Chu Shi, even if it is handed over to other top TV drama screenwriters, they can improve the script in the shortest possible time, if this job is handed over to Chu Shi to improve, I am afraid it will not take long to completely complete the perfect script!
Even, Chu Shi can use some free time in the corners to complete the work, just like now!
Chu Shi directly put the synopsis of the plot on the desk, turned on the computer, and wrote it cracklingly, originally there were only dozens or more than a hundred words per episode, but with just such a few words, Chu Shi was able to instantly form a detailed and complete idea in his mind, and he could easily fill it into a complete script of thousands of words per episode.
On average, in ten minutes, Chu Shi was able to complete the detailed script writing of one episode, and in just one hour, Chu Shi had already written a detailed script for six episodes!
More than six hours later, Chu Shi, who had completed the script writing work for forty episodes, shook his sore wrist and dizzy head, and temporarily stopped his work and rested, but coincidentally, just when Chu Shi began to rest, the mobile phone rang again, and then he found out that it was Adam Lambert who called, and after answering the phone, Chu Shi was also very happy, it turned out that the person sent by Adam Lambert had arrived in Huaxia!
Don't dare to slack off, Chu Shi also wanted to take this contract in his hand as much as possible, hurriedly put on his clothes and went out, and found the door according to the address provided by Adam Lambert.
After arriving at a café, Chu Shi found a female assistant in her thirties, wearing black-framed glasses, and with a very good figure, fiddling with her mobile phone boringly, and a contract was in her hand.
"It's a waste for such a big beauty to be an assistant to Adam Lambert, who has already announced his coming out!"
After muttering in his heart, Chu Shi also greeted him politely, after confirming Chu Shi's identity, the glamorous stunner also transferred the contract to Chu Shi, although Chu Shi was kind to stay, but the other party also refused on the grounds that he wanted to return to the United States as much as possible, after resting for more than ten minutes, Chu Shi also personally drove him to the airport, and after seeing him board the plane back to the United States, he quickly returned home.
After many inspections, Chu Shi was also able to determine 100 that there was no problem with the Chinese jiàn, and after signing his name, many copyrights of the comics he had liked for a long time were also owned by himself!
When facing this comic, Chu Shi also thought about a lot of questions at first, and what he was able to determine was the copyright of the TV series and the online broadcast, and many other copyrights did not have much value in fact.
is not a hero-themed TV series, and even all the props in the play are owned in life, even shabby, even if the TV series is popular, the income of peripheral products will definitely not be too large.
In terms of film copyright, although Chu Shi thinks that this TV series is very good, he doesn't think that it can be adapted into a movie in the end! Although it is novel and unique in the TV drama circle, if it is adapted into a movie......
It's definitely not an exaggeration to describe it with a few words of rotten street! It's just that this kind of movie is more of an action work, while the TV series is about some other, deeper things, which are relatively easy to transform into literary films, and can be transformed into fast-paced and big-scene popcorn movies, even Chu Shi is not optimistic about this market.
In terms of games, it's not the first one, there aren't too many new things, and even if you want to make zuò an online game, it must be a work with a huge investment! But in recent years, the online game industry has been sluggish, and even if this TV series finally gained extraordinary popularity, Chu Shi did not think that it could be adapted into an online game by the developer.
In recent years, browser games and mobile games have flourished, although with the passage of time, they occupy an increasing market share, but after all, it is a field that has just emerged, and most of the games produced by zuò are relatively simple works.
In others, such as novel copyrights, online drama copyrights and a series of small copyrights, Chu Shi doesn't think that it can bring much benefit to himself, at least it is difficult to have much value in a few decades.
However, this kind of thing is not completely certain, even Chu Shi does not dare to say it to death, maybe one day these things will have value, which can make Chu Shi make a lot of money, and in line with the idea of once and for all, Chu Shi directly bought all of them at a price of more than two million US dollars.
It may be useless, but at least it's better than letting others take advantage of it.
"So what's next......"
After returning home, Chu Shi took out an A4 piece of paper from the drawer, with the addresses of more than a dozen mailboxes written on it, without other marks or descriptions, and did not rush to act, but thought about it carefully.
Every email address represents a powerful entertainment company in the United States, and Chu Shi's plan is to vote these scripts to major entertainment companies in the United States through a formal way, and take the initiative to seek cooperation!
Any entertainment company basically has its own creative team, and the top entertainment company in the United States has a very large creative team, but even so, any entertainment company will be very concerned about the work of collecting scripts from the outside world.
Almost every year, there will be some film and television works submitted by new screenwriters that are valued by major entertainment companies, and the shooting has become a film and television work with different costs, and finally it is very popular.
There are countless examples of this, and it is precisely for this reason that every company will attach great importance to the mailbox of its own company to collect scripts from the outside world!
First of all, there will be a simple round of screening, some spam emails will be deleted, and the rest will be divided into three categories - some unique ideas, non-standard but also hard work, and professional scripts!
The former may not receive much attention, after all, ideas are just ideas, and it takes a very long time and a huge amount of work to form a script.
Most of the non-standard scripts are written by non-professional screenwriters, and from here, major entertainment companies have begun to pay attention to it, and although such scripts are not standardized in many places, whether it is creativity or plot, they have been sorted out completely, if the quality is good and valuable, even if you find a mediocre screenwriter, you can officially transform it into an excellent script, and many such works will be filmed into excellent film and television works every year.
After all, not all excellent screenwriters have signed contracts with entertainment companies, and there are a large number of 'scattered screenwriters', as well as not a few screenwriters who have no strength but are not famous.
Every entertainment company, even Dimensional Entertainment, will conduct more than three basic reviews of this kind of script, but if it is determined to be valuable or controversial once, and it cannot be accurately evaluated, it will be submitted layer by layer, and finally it will be submitted to the hands of the company's top screenwriters and directors.
It is up to the screenwriters to judge the quality of these scripts, and it is up to the directors to choose whether they should invest in filming or not, and they themselves to direct them.
In the entertainment industry in 2009, although it was not as standardized as later generations, because the competition in the industry became more and more huge, it also caused people with real skills to become more and more popular.
Of course, there are only a few people with real skills, and most of them are still relatively mediocre people, and because there are too many people in this category, it will give people a feeling of 'hard to mix' or 'very dark'.
Everyone is relatively mediocre and has nothing to stand out, and if you want to become the ultimate beneficiary, you naturally have to pay something, which naturally causes some dark and dirty places in the entertainment industry.
But for those who are really capable, any industry is their paradise! The same is true in the entertainment industry!
Thousands of mediocre works, if you want to be selected, you naturally need some dark box operations, but really excellent works, as long as the quality is up to standard, and even Chu Shi does not need too much contact at all, I am afraid that it will cause many entertainment companies to compete for it!
Although the script in Chu Shi's hand is indeed a bit special and novel, no one dares to guarantee whether it will be popular, and whether he is willing to spend a huge amount of money to shoot this work is also debatable, but Chu Shi believes that the most qualified and excellent screenwriters among the top entertainment companies in the United States can find its value!
Voted for ten top entertainment companies, at least more than half of them will find the value in it, naturally, Chu Shi believes that his script has no buyers at all.
A mediocre, or immature screenwriter, may think that it is a fluke to have a top entertainment company take a fancy to his work, and he will not have too many other ideas at all, but Chu Shi is very 'strict' when choosing an entertainment company!
In Chu Shi's eyes, now is looking for his own partners, rather than being chosen, when choosing, he naturally wants to find some powerful entertainment companies with good reputation!
wants to open up the American market, Chu Shi's original purpose was to introduce high-quality American dramas into China and take the opportunity to make a lot of money, mainly aimed at the Chinese market, not that Chu Shi didn't want to enter the American market, just because ......
As a Chinese entertainment company, it is as difficult as climbing to the sky if you want to conquer the American drama market!
Therefore, for a long time in the future, Chu Shi will choose to cooperate with top entertainment companies in the United States, rather than conquering the American drama market, so Chu Shi is also very eager to have a partner who has been cooperating for at least the next few years.
This must be an entertainment company with a good reputation! Otherwise, after a drama cooperation, the two sides will break up, and it will not be interesting and delay time.
It is not difficult to imagine that the scripts created by Chu Shi will be well-made, whether it is for funds, talents, or TV broadcast platforms, there will be very high requirements, so it is natural to choose a strong entertainment company.
Therefore, when choosing a company, Chu Shi also has to consider a lot of problems!
After thinking about it for a long time, Chu Shicai made the final decision! Directly in the mailbox full of hand, I took a pen and crossed out most of it, and each time I crossed out, I would think about it for a while.
Entertainment companies with insufficient strength and poor reputation, even if there are only a few flaws, will be directly crossed out by Chu Shi, anyway, there are so many candidate lists, and there are not one or two of them.
Finally, in the end, the mailboxes left on the list of Chu Shi were only the last eight!
In front of five of the mailboxes, a big number '2' was written, and the number '1' was written in front of the remaining three mailboxes, which represented the meaning of officially sending batches!
The first batch of people seeking cooperation is the first three entertainment companies, only when these three entertainment companies do not reply to themselves, Chu Shi will choose to give the second batch of five entertainment companies, mainly because the five entertainment companies in the second batch, although they are enough in terms of strength, they are still slightly inferior to the previous ones, although there is no problem in making the TV series works in front of him, but Chu Shi is also worried that he will have some difficulty in making some more demanding TV series works in the future.
Since you are looking for a long-term partner, you naturally have to do it in one step and find a more powerful storage zài!
"That's all there are three entertainment companies!"
Finally, Chu Shi checked it in his heart again before making a final decision, and with a slight tap of the mouse, he directly sent his half-finished script.
"Next, just wait quietly!" R1152
