The gold belt of murder and arson, which can be said to be the traditional magic weapon of the American television industry to increase ratings.

- To put it simply, once the ratings are not good, choose a more important character to send a bento, and you can often get miraculous results.

From this point of view, in Charlotte's original time and space, "Game of Thrones", adapted from "A Song of Ice and Fire", did not let go of the style of the protagonist, and it is normal for the ratings to explode.

And this is not just a style that was born after the adaptation of the TV series, in fact, the original work of Old Man Martin is this tune.

- Long before it was adapted into a TV series, the name of "Song of Killing and Killing" was well known.

In general works, whether it is cool or abusive, the life safety of the protagonist can generally be guaranteed.

But on the continent of Westeros, whose perspective the story unfolds basically means that whose life is already like a candle in the wind.

Charlotte remembers that when she first read A Song of Ice and Fire, she saw the story unfolding from Ned Stark's point of view, and thought that this guy with a very protagonist setting should be the main character - but Ned's head was soon off his neck;

At that time, Charlotte was so "lying in a groove" in her heart......

After that, Rob Stark, who avenged his father in the story, was wise for a while, and played the classic plot of asking for beauty and not country, which made Charlotte finally feel that she had found the right way to open the story.

Then, the bloody wedding began-

The main force of the Stark family was completely wiped out, and Robb, the "young wolf master", was also directly stabbed to death and hung up and dried......

This made Charlotte feel that "A Song of Ice and Fire" was actually not a villain's story.

But after that, first the disgusting Emperor Joffrey hung up, and then the domineering old man Tywin in the first few parts did not get a good death.

If it weren't for the dragon mother who opened up and the little devil who had saved up half his life and was still immortal, Charlotte really doubted that Old Man Martin wrote this book to vent his unsatisfying desire to kill in reality......

However, no matter how many reversals the story of "A Song of Ice and Fire" or "Game of Thrones" has, and how suitable it is to change to an American drama that has always been heavy-flavored, considering the current level of technology, it is still a bit difficult to shoot this series.

Of course, Charlotte has a series of cheating methods such as spell effects in her hands, so she can't say no.

But there are still a lot of troubles in filming.

Anyway, he decided to let Mr. Westwood go and talk to the author George W. Bush first. R· R. Martin will be contacted and then see when it will be adapted into an American drama.

As for the role positioning of "The Vampire Diaries" that he discussed with Mr. Westwood before, Charlotte gave her own reasons -

"Actually, wouldn't it be easier to attract attention by letting the righteous L in "Death Note" play the evil brother Damon at the beginning of "The Vampire Diaries", and let "killer" Moon play the younger brother Stefan, who was upright at the beginning!

"It's interesting. ”

Mr. Westwood nodded, and finally decided not to dwell on Charlotte's problems with the script.

- After all, judging from the past situation, Charlotte's judgment in this regard is rarely wrong.

Now, then, as his subordinate, Mr. Westwood just had to believe and carry it out.

- Mr. Producer, who has been in Hollywood for many years and has an experienced career in the workplace, knows exactly what he has to do.

However, he also mentioned another problem -

"As far as I know, "The Vampire Diaries" has the same name, is your story script adapted from the same name?"

"It can only be said that there is a certain reference. ”

Charlotte shook her head.

Charlotte has heard of the eponymous thing about "The Vampire Diaries".

However, this one, published in the 90s of the 20th century, is not very famous, and it is far from being as famous as the "Twilight" series.

And Charlotte's American drama version of "The Vampire Diaries" in the original time and space was not filmed according to the original book.

So, to Mr. Westwood's question, Charlotte just shrugged her shoulders,

"If you feel that you need to solve the copyright problem as soon as possible, then go for it! But this work is not very famous, so don't pay too much. ”

"This is natural. ”

Mr. Westwood agrees.

Producers, if you want to control the budget, you still have to Grande when it's time for Grande......

In short, after an afternoon of discussion with Charlotte, Mr. Westwood, as the head of the TV series part of the Ghost Party Studio, figured out his work plan for the next two or three years-

First of all, "Death Note" will end neatly after the plot reaches its peak climax, regardless of whether the audience and the TV station will hate them for it;

After that, the two male protagonists in "Death Note" will be directly translated to the world of "The Vampire Diaries" and continue to love and kill each other as the vampire Salvador brothers.

Of course, this "Vampire Diaries" still lacks a young and beautiful, lovable, and at the same time able to change her temperament and play the heroine of the bad guy, Charlotte did not specify a candidate, which needs to be selected by Mr. Westwood as soon as possible;

At the same time, they have to open two new dramas at the same time.

One is called "Prison Break", which is to take over the class of "Death Note", which was launched as the main drama of Ghost Party Studios on the theme of suspense crime;

The other is "Evil Force", which is a fantasy-themed series.

Although the latter should not need to invest too much effort, if Charlotte's prediction is good, this kind of series of themes is often easy to become a long-lived drama as long as the head is opened.

From this point of view, "Evil Force" is a long-term meal ticket for the Ghost Party studio.

At the same time, in order to consider the future, Mr. Westwood needs to talk to George W. R· R. Martin approached to study the possibility of adaptation of A Song of Ice and Fire......

"I suddenly feel like I'm going to be busy in the next two years!"

Mr. Westwood sighed,

"Although TV series are different from movies, the screenwriter is the keyman. However, in a year or two, our studio has launched so many American dramas in a row, will there be pressure in terms of manpower and funds?"

"Don't worry about this!"

Charlotte said with a smile,

"The Ghost Party studio has been expanding, and the manpower problem is not big, besides, we can still recruit and poach!"

"What about the money?"

"Money isn't a big problem. ”

Charlotte shrugged,

"You should understand that most of the cost funds for American dramas are paid after the renewal of the TV station, and the money we need to build ourselves is not too much. ”

"But the investment in this area will still increase, right?"

Mr. Westwood glanced at the old gun on the side,

"Will this lead to a lack of funding for studios in film?"

"It's possible. But—"

Charlotte shrugged,

"Now, do you think we still need to make movies with our own money?"
