Chapter 416: Three Years (3)

And in the end, 2010 finally passed, and the time entered 2011, the moment when Chu Shi really reached a bottleneck!

Chu Shi, who was almost lazy for a whole year in 2010, finally started his busy life at the beginning of 2011.

For most of 2010, Chu Shidu participated in the filming of the TV series "The Walking Dead" in the United States, and used his spare time to write the beginning of the script of the second season of "The Walking Dead".

After all, they did not explicitly join when they signed the contract at the beginning, and in order to avoid being unable to participate in the filming of the second season of "The Walking Dead" and playing tricks, Chu Shi and others got busy again after the end of the first season of the TV series "The Walking Dead" and filmed some clips of the second season of the TV series "The Walking Dead".

At least the characters who appeared in the first season but would 'die' soon before the start of the second season were filmed, and the most important of them was the wife of police officer Rick, the main character in the first season of the TV series "The Walking Dead"!

Because of this, Chu Shicai dragged on in the United States for a long time, and did not return to China until the end of the year.

And after returning to Huaxia, Chu Shi began to be extremely busy writing scripts!

At the beginning of 2011, Dimension Entertainment Company has officially finalized the work plan for this year.

First of all, there is a large-scale zuò TV series and a cost TV series on Mango Channel, and Blueberry TV also has a cost TV series that has just been acquired. and a low-budget TV drama production, and most importantly, the cooperation between Dimensional Entertainment and Starlight Channel.

With the excellent results of the TV series "The Walking Dead", Starlight Terrace tasted the sweetness. After several high-level meetings, an agreement was formally reached to give Dimension Entertainment a place for prime-time TV drama works free of charge. The requirements are also very simple, as long as you promise to be able to broadcast excellent American dramas on Starlight Channel, in the face of such a request, Chu Shi, who has always been eager to expand the American drama market and the number of shares that Dimensional Entertainment Company has mastered, of course, agreed to Starlight Channel's request as soon as possible.

At this point, Chu Shi has also mastered the shares of the two prime-time TV drama works of Starlight Channel, all of which are added together, which is enough to have four prime-time shares and two ordinary share.

Although the current Dimension Entertainment Company. already has a top screenwriter like Yu Zheng, and after the scale and prestige have reached a certain level, they have recruited first-line screenwriters with book titles, plus the original three brothers of the Ma family, Wei Zheng and others, the strength of the screenwriting department of Dimension Entertainment Company is already quite good.

Compared with other top entertainment companies and peak-level entertainment companies that have more than ten or decades of talent accumulation and several top screenwriters, Dimension Entertainment still has a big shortage in terms of excellent screenwriter reserves.

If they work hard, the speed of development is not even comparable to that of an ordinary top entertainment company. For Chu Shi, who is extremely eager for the development of his own entertainment company, it is natural to make a contribution and do his best to make six TV series produced by his own entertainment company in 2011, all of which can get good results.

Nature. Chu Shi also personally wrote the script.

The first two scripts were undoubtedly prepared for the first collaboration with Starlight Terrace, and Starlight Terrace has now determined the future development direction. plans to gradually expand the share of American dramas in Xingguang TV dramas, and eventually take this opportunity to become the home of all Chinese audiences who love American dramas. It happened that the core of Chu Shi's next work was also American dramas, so he naturally became more concerned.

After ten days. Chu Shi has been nesting in his own study, and after studying for a long time, he finally took out two American drama scripts, thought about it for a while, and sent them to SCL and AMC, two entertainment companies that have established a preliminary friendship with Chu Shi.

In the first of these works, Chu Shi ordered someone to buy a novel called "Under the Dome" made by the famous American writer Stephen King at a rather high price, and Chu Shi finally used three days to adapt it into a TV series script also called "Under the Dome", and finally thought about it for a long time and sent it to SCL to prepare to cooperate with it.

For this script, Chu Shi is also quite confident in his heart, in Chu Shi's opinion, if this TV series is filmed, it will definitely be able to sit in the top ten positions in the 2011 American drama ratings list, it is a rare and excellent work, it can be said that the script called "Under the Dome" did not cost Chu Shi too much effort, and when it comes to quality, Chu Shi thinks it is not as good as another work!

But not everyone in the world has such an accurate vision as Chu Shi! At least in the eyes of the top American TV drama screenwriter like Lao Geer, the TV script called "Under the Dome" is much more valuable than another work, and he chose this script without hesitation.

And another TV series called "Bankruptcy Sisters" does contain a lot of Chu Shi's hard work!

Previously, Chu Shi made a series of evaluations on sitcoms because of "Love Apartment", if you take all sitcoms as the starting point to observe, you will find that the ratings of this kind of TV series are very high, and there are also many famous sitcoms, such as "The Big Bang Theory", "Wulin Gaiden" and so on.

But the difficulty of the sitcom lies in the script and plot! After all, it is limited to a small range and cannot be exposed to too many things, so it is naturally difficult to expand the plot, so how to create a novel and attractive plot has become the biggest difficulty of sitcoms.

But for Chu Shi, it was a breeze!

The original book of "Bankrupt Sisters" was combined with another sitcom that was born four years later and achieved similar results, and finally created a new "Bankrupt Sisters". It can be said that it took a lot of Chu Shi's hard work, in this case. Chu Shi naturally thinks that its results will be better than "Under the Dome"!

It's not that Chu Shi is eccentric. In fact, if he could, Chu Shi really planned to change both works, but reality did not allow Chu Shi to do so.

Although "Bankruptcy Sisters" is a sitcom and has great limitations in terms of 'scope', Chu Shi can still choose works of similar genre to integrate with it, and finally give birth to a new "Bankruptcy Sisters", because Chu Shi can modify it unscrupulously.

There are also such as "The Walking Dead", although it is a TV series adapted from a comic, but the world in which its story takes place is very huge. Even as long as Chu Shi is willing, he can let the story take place on a global scale, integrating some famous zombie-themed film and television works from other countries, and he can shoot many, many follow-up stories, how to shoot and how to shoot.

But "Under the Dome" is different!

The story of "Under the Dome" takes place in a small town in the United States, and suddenly one day, a transparent cover falls from the sky, or an invisible but tangible magnetic field, completely isolating the town from the outside world.

You can see the outside world. But he couldn't get out even one step, no matter what method the official used, he couldn't break through this weird cover, and the backbone of the story. It is the contradiction and story that happens in the hood.

The scope is so large, the people are so small, and the original novel is not like a travelogue like "The Walking Dead". Every character and every contradiction is introduced very clearly, and Chu Shi just wants to expand something. It's also powerless, even if you forcibly change it. It will also consume a lot of Chu Shi's time, and the gains outweigh the losses, and in the end, it can only be like this!

On the surface, the investment in the TV series "Under the Dome" is larger, and the market recognition will be higher, whether it is SCL or AMC, they all think that this work will get better results, and it is natural that Chu Shi will hand it over to the more intimate SCL company.

Although he knew in his heart that another work would get better results, Chu Shi didn't say anything, because he knew that if he broke it, he would put himself in a very embarrassing situation!

Today's Chu Shi, in the eyes of Huaxia and even foreign entertainment circles, is a genius screenwriter, whether it is a variety show or a TV series, the scripts written by Chu Shi are very valuable.

But that's not all, growing up, Chu Shi is just the world's top screenwriter, even if Chu Shi has a strong business operation ability, and miracles continue to occur, Chu Shi can only rely on years of hard work to create a world-class entertainment company and achieve a legend in the entertainment industry, that's all.

But if Chu Shibiao has an extremely accurate vision and can easily judge the value and achievements of a film and television work, it will be too terrible! When Chu Shi became the leader of a world-class entertainment company, with the power and resources in his hands, Chu Shi was even able to pocket half of the world's excellent scripts, and at that time, even the world's top entertainment companies could only support themselves under the oppression of Chu Shi, and Chu Shi alone would occupy half of the world's entertainment market.

In this case, even SCL and AMC Entertainment Company, which have a good relationship with Chu Shi, will suppress Chu Shi with a thunderous force!

At that time, Chu Shi will still be the world's top screenwriter, and any entertainment company is eager and looking forward to cooperating with Chu Shi, and will still be the top in the global entertainment industry, but if Chu Shi wants to enter the entertainment market of a certain country, it will at least cause a joint boycott by eighty percent or even more entertainment companies in that country.

If it is an ordinary commercial boycott, it will be fine, but under the cooperation of these domestic entertainment giants, whether it is a video website, or a TV station resource, or a theater resource itself, it will also jointly block Chu Shi, and at that time, even if Chu Shi has great ability, he will not be able to squeeze into the country's entertainment market, so he can only sigh.

So no matter what, Chu Shi can't rashly expose all his abilities, and it is also very necessary to hide some abilities like now.

makes others think that Chu Shi, SCL and AMC all think that the TV series "Under the Dome" can get better results, and in the end, even if "Bankruptcy Sisters" gets better results, people will only sigh about Chu Shi's shocking luck, and will not doubt Chu Shi's accurate vision, so that Chu Shi's amazing strength can be concealed.

Of course. Properly hiding oneself is only one aspect, in fact, for Chu Shi. Whether it's SCL or AMC, the fundamental meaning of working with yourself is to make money for yourself. As long as you get the benefits, you don't have to think about other things at all.

Therefore, the TV series "Under the Dome" is jointly produced by SCL Company and Chu Shi, and the TV series "Bankruptcy Girl" is jointly produced by Chu Shi and AMC Company.

Of course. When they cooperated for the first time in the filming of the TV series "The Walking Dead", in order to befriend Chu Shi, SCL and AMC both chose to make concessions in terms of interests in order to continue to cooperate with Chu Shi.

However, today's Chu Shi is no longer the local tyrant who was quite a tyrant in China at the beginning. can be exchanged for US dollars but a little shy in his pocket, and now Chu Shi can directly take out 650 million US dollars in his hands, not to mention two TV series with medium to high investment. Even investing in two blockbusters like The Walking Dead alone is lighthearted.

Naturally, when negotiating, there are no financial constraints. Chu Shi was also able to do his best to win more shares.

In the end, after a series of negotiations, two TV series works. All got the same shares.

The first season of the TV series "Under the Dome" and the first season of the TV series "Bankrupt Sisters", Chu Shi is theoretical. are able to get 50% of the shares.

However, in the South Korean, Japanese, and Chinese markets, Chu Shi must hold it in his hands, and in addition, Chu Shi also asked for some other things.

For example, the follow-up copyright of the TV series "Under the Dome" and "Bankruptcy Sisters", Chu Shi will resist public opinion and firmly hold it in his hands, if the two TV series finally become popular and prepare to make a sequel, Chu Shi will be able to take this opportunity to get more shares, of course, in order to obtain such a follow-up advantage, Chu Shi also paid some shares as a price, which can be regarded as reducing the risk of the two companies, and finally after hesitating for a long time, both companies also agreed.

Although I am very confident in Chu Shi's screenwriting ability, after all, it is the second cooperation, and I am not 100% confident in Chu Shi, and it is reasonable to be a little worried before the TV series starts filming.

Of course, it is also because the two companies do not have 100% confidence in Chu Shi that Chu Shi picked up a leak, otherwise it is like the TV series "The Walking Dead" with a huge investment, and the follow-up copyright issues have already signed contracts with the two companies, even if the TV series is popular all over the world, Chu Shi will not be able to pick up a big leak like now!

In addition, Chu Shi put forward another slightly excessive request, that is...... Won the contracts of the two heroines of the TV series "Bankruptcy Sisters"!

In fact, long before Chu Shi handed over the script "Bankruptcy Sisters" to AMC Company, Chu Shi had already used the American branch of Dimensional Entertainment Company, which Guò founded in the United States last year, to spend a sum of dollars that was not too much to dig two beauties into his own company.

One of them is the big beauty Beth who is five years older than Chu Shi, born in 1985, and has pure natural blonde hair. Bee, although she has only played a small supporting role in one or two film and television works with poor results, Chu Shi took a fancy to her temperament of 'eldest lady' at a glance, and decided that she was the actor of the bankrupt eldest lady in the TV series "Bankruptcy Sisters".

The other one is Bebes. A year younger than Er, Kate was born in 1986. Dai Linsi, although she has more acting experience than the former, but because she is also not too famous, Chu Shi did not spend too much money, so she dug it into her own company.

Compared with the blonde beauty who has the temperament of a big lady, Chu Shi still prefers Kate Dai Linsi in his heart, not so slender, but the plump body and the temperament of the royal sister are more similar to Fan Bingling, but with the unique taste of Western beauties, which is exactly the type that Chu Shi likes.

Of course, Chu Shi would not be such a beast as soon as they met, without any emotional foundation, so he asked the other party to do what to do, and took the two into his command, mainly for his own interests.

At the beginning of the negotiations, Chu Shi asked that the two heroines of the TV series "Bankruptcy Sisters" should be Beth and Kate of their own company.

Of course, Chu Shi used all the two protagonists of "Bankruptcy Sisters" with his own people, and it was impossible for AMC to agree directly, and finally Chu Shi reached an agreement with SCL Company to bring two quite important roles, and the choice of roles could be handed over to the senior management of AMC Company to decide - of course, it also needed the nod of Lao Fran, the director of the TV series "Under the Dome".

Therefore, after a series of negotiations, Chu Shi successfully reached an agreement with AMC and SCL.

After winning the two heroines of the TV series "Bankruptcy Sisters", Chu Shi also owns all the follow-up copyrights of the two TV series, as well as all the profits of Japan, Huaxia, and South Korea, and finally, 35% of the shares of the two TV series.

At the same time, Chu Shi paid two scripts and half of the investment in the two TV series, while the two entertainment companies SCL and AMC contracted the publicity, distribution, filming and other work, as well as half of the funds.

When it comes to the ultimate benefit, if it is not expected by SCL and AMC, the income of both parties should be similar, but if one of the TV series works is particularly popular in China, South Korea or Japan, Chu Shi's income will exceed that of the two companies and become the first beneficiary of this cooperation!
