Chapter 327: A Few Things
Regarding all aspects of "Saw Horror", Sean doesn't need to worry too much, anyway, Vladimir is currently on his side, and what he has to think about is if he gives them dividends. Speaking of which, the low cost is not all good, at least the ledger is not easy to do, and there is no net profit, but whether it is "My Grand Greek Wedding" or "Chainsaw", no one will believe it if there is no net profit.
Of course, whether you can do it or not is not the same thing as whether people believe it or not, even if the gentle Werner does not believe it, as long as the book is rounded, they will have nothing to do when they first arrive in your land. But that would be tantamount to tearing up their faces, and if Sean wants to keep the series going and the quality is guaranteed, he can't do that.
So, he had to come up with the right numbers that would not cost too much and would satisfy the gentle Werner.
Is this one thing, or is it the casting of Desperate Housewives, even though it's all given to Mark? Celli is in charge, but as an investor, Sean still has to show up to show his presence somewhat, after all, he will also attend next month's fair.
Every year in mid-May, executives from major television networks and production companies travel to New York to negotiate with advertising giants from all over Shijie about the new season of advertising cooperation and sell advertising slots. At the meeting with advertisers, the network will present the selected new haode drama preview episodes for advertisers to see, and interested advertisers can directly invest, that is, buy advertising space, during which the network will also announce all the programs that have been renewed and canceled, and advertisers can continue to invest in the programs that have been renewed.
Therefore, whether it is a new TV series or an old TV series, at this time, you basically have to go to New York to pull advertisements, which can basically be regarded as an exhibition.
During the investment promotion period, most of the TV stars will appear, the new and the old are basically available, and the specific model is probably similar to the kind of animation festival, and each TV series exhibited has a booth. At the same time, several major TV stations will also have their own exhibition areas, and the booths of TV dramas that have been or will be broadcast on these TV stations will be set up in their respective areas to welcome media and advertisers.
Each crew then aired the pilot episodes on their booths for TV executives, critics and journalists, and the higher the rating, the easier it was for advertisers. Therefore, Vladimir, who must be present, must pull Sean on, firstly, his first role with lines in the entertainment industry was in a TV series, and he barely rubbed the side with the movie actors who came out of the TV series, and secondly, with his current fame and rumored good vision, it can still increase the confidence of some advertisers.
Although the ABC side has been tentatively decided - after contacting CBS, as Sean expected, they are not interested in the rich program for the time being, so Vladimir has to contact ABC. Fortunately, his connections have played a role, even if it is a little embarrassing, and ABC is indeed lacking in good TV series right now, and has been losing money for almost a decade since it was acquired by Disney.
But the decision does not mean that they are optimistic about "Desperate Housewives", so it is necessary to attract more advertisers.
In this case, as a member of Reincarnation Pictures, Sean is naturally duty-bound. In that case, let's just participate in the casting and accumulate some experience so as not to be asked about it but not be able to say why.
Although there is a lack of interest in specific jobs, and the auditions are not attractive women, because the content of the story is limited to housewives, and the need is for overly familiar women - of course, there are a few young actors, and they are all good-looking, so that Sean is bored and still enjoys some eye pleasure.
However, he still made some pertinent comments, such as since there are Latino housewives, so why not consider having a black housewife? After all, having black characters is politically correct. Of course, this is practically impossible, and there is some discrimination that cannot be said but must be done, and Celli is set in a high-class middle-class community, and the target audience is housewives who can talk and laugh with black women at community parties, but will never invite them into a small circle.
So, "Desperate Housewives" can have a black supporting actress, and there can be Latinas among the four housewives -- who are predominantly whiteβbut not black housewives.
But Sean put forward a different point of view: "Weishenme doesn't want to find a mixed-race actress?" Look for the kind of actress whose physical characteristics are not very obvious, the skin is not very dark, and she looks like a Latino, and the audience will definitely not be able to tell whether she is Latino or African-American when watching it. β
Celli thought about it and agreed with him, and then Jennifer who met the criteria? Bills got the role, and of course, Sean certainly wouldn't know that "La Zi Supremacy", which was produced only next year, is missing a charismatic heroine.
Although the time was a little tight, it should have been a good problem to produce a pilot episode before the show in May, so those two things didn't actually take up much of his energy, and it was another thing that he really had to deal with carefully in addition to preparing for the audition for "The Aviator".
"If you ask me to recall now, I may not be able to remember how it started, but it just happened, and no one can say for sure." Facing a pair of eyes full of curiosity and gossip, Sean said with his hands outstretched.
Then he glanced at Zoe, who was sitting in the distance, and her attention didn't seem to be on him, but instead twisted her head to look away, as if to ...... Emily separated by two sofas?
"Tell me more, Sean, at least Nicole? What kind of woman Kidman is. Someone said this half-heartedly.
"Well, guys, you're not any of those gossipy tabloid reporters," Sean sighed loudly and exaggeratedly, waving his hands, "I can only say that dating a strong woman like her is not an easy thing to do, and we have to be considerate of each other - well, that's it, if I keep chasing after it, I'm afraid I'm going to be gone." β
The laughter suddenly rang out, but the people in front of him still dispersed obediently and did not continue to gather around.
"If I had known I wouldn't be here, your friends would have been too curious," Sean walked over to Zoe's side, "or should I tell them the truth?" β
"That's your business, Sean." Zoe turned her head and shrugged, "If you feel like you should say it, say it." β
Here it is again, she has no other thoughts, and believes in me completely? Sean thought complainingly. This is a very strange thing, you know, after the scandal with Nicole, whether it is Naomi or Jordanna, or Katie, or even Camilla, they all express their dissatisfaction and doubts in their own ways.
Only Zoe, after hearing Sean say that it was acting, that he owed Nicole a favor, and that he had to pay it back in this way, said, "Haode, I know." β
She didn't even suspect it! Sean also deliberately said it to his face, and Zoe still answered this way, at most he added: "In short, don't forget what you promised me, the fake was turned into the truth." β
It's really different, and it's probably this difference that makes her attract people's attention, but at the same time, it also makes Sean a little suspicious, she weishenme would believe in herself so much? Even Jordana specially called to ask, and Naomi was even more sure in her heart that he had slept with Nicole because he had not exposed his true nature in front of her? But it was also not exposed in front of Katie, and she was still quite nervous.
So, in this case, it can only be explained...... Is it possible that Zoe didn't take their relationship to heart? Oh, that's a depressing answer.
"Why are you alone again, Sean?" A voice rang in his ears, and then Emily's smiling face appeared in front of her.
"Hmm...... Sometimes it's good to stay quiet, just to think about something. Sean replied casually, looked into the distance, and Zoe, who had walked away without saying a word, was chatting and laughing with someone in the crowd.
"I find that you always, wherever Zoe goes, your eyes move, are you trying to date her?" After following his gaze, Emily suddenly asked.
"Zoe is a lovely girl, she attracts people's attention everywhere," Sean replied quietly, "and I already have a date now." β
"Really?" Emily's smile became meaningful, "Okay, I want to walk outside the house now, can you accompany me?" You don't have anything else to do right now anyway. β
"Hmm...... All right. Sean, who didn't expect an excuse to refuse, could only agree.
The party was held at Zoe's house, and the house was not very big, so the two of them didn't take a few steps before they sat down on a bench in the hallway outside.
"I'm sure you've answered this many times, but I'm still wondering how you started dating Nicole, and you know, I didn't see any sparks between you when I was on the crew of "Cold Mountain"." As she spoke, Emily talked about the scandal that she still paid a lot of attention to recently.
"This ......" Sean smiled bitterly, but he still said it quickly, he and Nicole have discussed the cause and development of this scandal, and they don't know how many times they have said it, they are already quite familiar.
"It sounds dramatic," Emily didn't say anything in particular, except that the meaningful smile still hung on her face, "but if you knew then that your date was going to be so much noticed, would you still have developed with her?" β
"It's hard to say, who knows, some things can't be done again." Sean shrugged, then sighed at the thought of something.
"Okay, let's not talk about that." Emily looked at him for a while, then suddenly stood up, "It's a bit noisy here, how about we go outside?" β
However, before Sean could speak, Zoe, who had an unkind face, appeared in front of him: "Sean, I have something to look for you." β
