Xu Chuan thought about the words, so he couldn't make them feel that he had completely left this matter behind, as this greatly affected his image.
"I can't write about the prison escape in the third season. Would you let the protagonist go abroad to prison?" The problem is here, he hasn't seen it.
"Well, this idea is good." Chapman wrote down the idea and handed the rest to the screenwriter team.
"I will give you the script outline of Breaking Bad as soon as possible, but I think cable TV may not be too interested this time." As Allen said, does anyone really want to watch the story of a greasy man in a mid-life crisis? No TV station will take this risk.
"Yes, they are more concerned about the progress of the third season of jailbreak. Their senior executives asked me for this matter before Christmas." With the first and second seasons guaranteed, the TV station will definitely follow them to produce the third season. After all, as long as the quality is passed, the ratings of such popular dramas are still guaranteed.
"Then follow the process, but I need to get the script for the first episode as soon as possible." This matter is actually too late, but who has made him unable to contact his boss?
Xu Chuan nodded, "Contact the screenwriter team. We have confirmed the script these two days. By the way, we have to find a reliable producer." It is very important for producers or drama operators in American drama production. He has to check the script and interview actors, finalize the image logo of the drama, inspect the location, review the edited sample films and put forward modification opinions, coordinate the stylist and lighting engineer, discuss the tones of the scene layout with the director and photographer, and participate in all cocktail parties and meetings... He has to be on the scene for almost every episode and every shot.
"No problem, I already have a candidate, and I will make an appointment to meet again." Chapman spent half his life in Hollywood. Although he had not gained much fame, he had accumulated countless connections.
"No problem, you can set the time." Oh my, I didn't expect that after coming to Los Angeles, I found so many jobs for myself, and miscalculated it. Fortunately, he now has a screenwriter team, and he only needs to recall the plot of his previous life, or even just a rough one, and these people can fill in the content.
As for whether the final product will be the same as the original, it is basically impossible without thinking. However, as long as the plot does not deviate from the original, Xu Chuan believes that this classic can be copied.
So back to the previous question, he needs a reliable producer.
"Then the company has two projects now." Chapman smiled on his face. He didn't want his daily work to be supervising the financial department to do accounts, which made him feel like an accountant.
"By the way, do you still remember Dylan Ashworth?" After the work talks, Allen talked about something before. Dylan attracted fans at Allen's party and was driven out. Later, his father's murder was exposed. When he was avoiding police arrest, he directly smashed Xuela's nanny's car to scrap.
Xu Chuan also had two more scars on his back because of this incident, "Of course I remember that his father was sentenced to death?" It seemed that he killed several young girls because of his special hobbies. It was simply unreasonable for such scum to die.
"Wow, you know how long the trial of such a case will be." Allen made an exaggerated expression, "But their family is over." His father took advantage of the chaos of the Ashworth family and joined forces with several other companies to acquire their industries.
Xu Chuan shook his head. For these capitalists, lack of money should be the most painful thing.
"How about it, do you want to go to my place? I've prepared a party for you."
Xu Chuan rolled his eyes and said, "Brother, are you sure it was prepared for me?" This young man has been staying at home since Christmas, and he must have been so exhausted.
I really have no interest in his party, and I think of the extra work I have inexplicably made people feel very depressed, "Forget it, I'd better go back and write."
This is really a sad story. During the New Year holiday, he actually had to work. Xu Chuan drove a rented car back to Xuela's house. He had already obtained the password for the door.
After walking around the house, I just simply observed the surrounding environment, entrances and exits, etc. After I hadn't looked at it carefully, there are four bedrooms, six bathrooms, study rooms, and game rooms. Xuela also specially renovated a small music room with various musical instruments and equipment, which is absolutely expensive.
He took out his notebook and sat in the living room watching TV and started typing. He watched the show Breaking Bad several times in his previous life. Although he might not remember some of the details, he still had an impression of the overall direction, various exciting foreshadowings and plots.
Try to write down these and write the plot of the first episode according to the script format.
This is the production process of American dramas. You must first hand the script of the first episode to a TV station, and then hold a meeting with the senior management of the TV station development department to explain the content of the entire drama, the background of the times, the introduction of characters, the attractions, whether there are any examples of similar dramas, etc.
After that, if the TV station agrees to shoot, it will buy the script for the first episode, ranging from 50,000 to 600,000 yuan. Then it will prepare to shoot the content of the first episode, including selecting actors, selecting producers, surveying the venue, and finally selecting directors.
Then the screenwriter, producer, and director provide "Look Book", which roughly includes several sets of makeup photos of the actors, shooting location, lens angle, shooting light, etc. Then all the actors will study the script and modify it based on the opinions put forward by the TV station and the film and television company.
The first episode will not be officially filmed after this. The previous work will last at least until the end of March and early April. When the first episode is completed, the TV station will play it internally and conduct a small-scale survey. The senior researcher of each TV station will give the president a report through the results of the survey, adjust the editing of the plot through rational data analysis, reshoot or give up directly.
This kind of research is usually completed in a cinema in a hotel in Las Vegas. During the playback, each audience member has a small turntable in his hand. When he sees his favorite content, he turns to the left and the content he doesn't like, he turns to the right. The curve chart of the audience's favorite will be displayed behind the computer. After the research, the TV station can clearly know which places the audience likes to watch and which ones need to be cut.
Then at the end of May, the TV station will announce which American dramas will be officially filmed and broadcasted, and these new dramas or sequels will not meet the audience until mid-September.
This is a complex and rigorous process that lasts a year. This process can ensure that the TV station will not lose money to the greatest extent. Of course, many slow-hot dramas have been directly killed.
