Chapter 232: Watching "Evil Force"
"Brother Hua, if I want to enter the film industry, do you support me?" Chen Lin asked rhetorically.
"Needless to say. Of course, I raised my hands and feet to support you when you made a movie. Liu Dehua said with a smile.
"Okay, Brother Hua, I want to see your specific actions to support me." Chen Lin suddenly made a request.
"Oh? Whatever action you want, you say, as long as I can do it, I will do it. Liu Dehua patted his chest and said.
"Hehe" Chen Lin smiled slightly and asked, "Brother Hua, your contract with the current brokerage company will expire in another year, right?" β
"Yes, yes." Liu Dehua nodded, and then smiled: "What, you want to sign me?" β
"That's right." Chen Lin said as a matter of course: "I have long wanted to sign Brother Hua, but in the past, our temple couldn't pretend to be you, and now I announceββ"
Chen Lin suddenly said loudly: "In 2001, I want to co-founded a film company with Mr. Liu Dehua and officially enter the film industry, and at the same time I want to announce that Mr. Liu Dehua has joined the Royal Court Agency. β
This is the first time that Chen Lin has said the film plan, and in 2001, the Jade Emperor Entertainment Group will fully enter the film industry. Jade Emperor Entertainment will sign superstar Liu Dehua as a clarion call to enter the film industry.
As for the second half of 1999 to 2000, the group's main business is still in the field of television, and the task of Jade Emperor Entertainment in China is to consolidate its position as the leader in the field of television and prepare for listing; In the United States, Star Entertainment's core business is to operate television stations.
"Lin Zi, are you really going to make a movie in 01?" Liu Dehua couldn't help but confirm it again, and for some reason he was excited when he heard that Chen Lin was really going to enter the movie.
"It's true, Brother Hua, do you remember that you can't regret it then."
"Okay, as long as you say hello then, I'll respond immediately."
"That's great, Brother Xian. Little black brother, the two elder brothers should also help the little brother me, right? β
"Of course, if you can use it, you can mention it."
"Okay, as the saying goes, brothers work together to break gold, and the four of us brothers work together. Let's see if we can make a name for ourselves in movies. β
There are no grandiose words, a "brotherly heart" makes a thing called hot blood flow in the hearts of the four people, and the three women in the room are also infected, especially Yang Lan, who is considered an outsider among everyone. She wondered if the news that she had just heard that Liu Dehua was going to join the Jade Emperor Group and that the Jade Emperor Group intended to enter the film industry would cause a sensation to the domestic media?
The tea was almost drunk, and Brother Xian and the others must have been tired after taking the plane for more than 10 hours, so Chen Lin beckoned everyone to rest, and in the evening he accompanied his brothers to visit the TV station to watch the broadcast of his first American drama "Evil Force".
Chen Lin got up and took his wife upstairs first, and the others also got up together and went back to their respective rooms.
β¦β¦
At 7:20 p.m., there are 10 minutes left for the "730" theater to start.
Chen Lin's four brothers, his wife Yu Yu. Yang Lan, Lawrence, and the crew producer and screenwriter of "The Power of Evil", the male and female protagonists gathered together, sitting in the conference room and waiting for the start of the TV series.
There are 10 minutes left. A screenwriter introduced the main content of "The Power of Evil" to several distinguished guests.
Evil Power is a TV series based on the supernatural supernatural phenomenon conceived in the last chapter of the Western New Testament, "The Book of Revelation".
In the play, the archangel Lucifer was sent to hell by Michael because he refused to obey humans, launched a god war, and was sent to hell by Michael, and 66 seals were laid to prevent Lucifer from coming back to life.
And the key to unlocking the 66 seals lies in Sam. Winchester and Dean. Winchests brothers. So fate destined these two brothers to be full of disasters.
Their family is special. The older brother Dean and his father are exorcists, and the younger brother Sam is a law student at Harvard University.
The story begins when Sam discovers that his girlfriend is hanging upside down from the ceiling in the air and is burned to death in a fire for no reason. This makes Sam miserable, because his mother died like this when he was a child, so his brother and father become exorcists and vow to find the demon who killed his mother.
On this day, the elder brother suddenly went to the school to look for the younger brother, and their father was missing. The story begins with the brothers embarking on a journey to find their father.
The plot of "The Power of Evil" has ups and downs, especially the 66 seals are more interesting, and the most difficult ones are the first and 66th seals, for example, to unlock the first seal, an upright person needs to fall in hell.
This is interesting, hell itself is the stronghold of the devil, where is the real man, and how can he be corrupted if he is an upright man?
Chen Lin was watching this drama at that time, but he really didn't expect that the key to breaking the first seal fell on the head of his brother Dean.
In this new version of "The Power of Evil", Chen Lin also made some small changes, and added a Chinese plot to the play. For example, the two brothers ran to China to find their father, and the Chinese version of the exorcist was added to the Chinese plot, and the Jade Emperor's double ice combination - Fan * Bingbing and Li * Bingbing will appear in the play. Secondly, the play naturally also skillfully shows the achievements of China's modernization and the brilliant Taoist and Buddhist culture.
Time passed quickly, and before I knew it, I finished watching the first issue, and just when everyone was still intoxicated in the play, a staff member excitedly pushed open the door of the conference room and rushed in: "Mr. Chen, we have succeeded, you see the ratings come out." β
"Oh, yes, show me." Chen Lin was calm, but as soon as the crew of "Evil Force" in the conference room heard that it was successful, they were not calm, and they immediately stood up and gathered around the boss to see the results.
The paper in Chen Lin's hand clearly reads in black and white: 8 million wireless radio and television subscribers in the United States have watched the program, and 1.2 million cable paying subscribers have watched the program on demand.
Wireless wired has a combined 9.2 million subscribers to watch, and the rating is around 3.6 based on the population of 250 million in the United States. Although this number is not as good as "Friends" and so on, it can be regarded as a rating.
And there are 1.2 million paying users, which is already profitable, and the average shooting cost of one episode of the show is around $800,000.
"Yes, we succeeded, and Evil Power succeeded." Suddenly, everyone in the conference room and the TV station staff cheered.
"Lin Zi, congratulations, you have created a miracle again."
Liu Dehua and others were also proud of their brothers' achievements, Chen Lin happily accepted the congratulations of the brothers, and everyone in the conference room was congratulating each other at this moment.
"Alright, everyone be quiet." The boss gave an order, the cheers stopped, and the conference room fell silent: "Everyone has it, notify the staff of the TV drama department, everyone gather at the bar downstairs." β
As soon as Chen Lin's words fell, cheers rang out again in the conference room that had just quieted down
