553. Willows and Flowers (middle)
Ye Sumang has a problem in doing things, which is similar to Liu Yifei, that is, either you don’t do it, you have to be meticulous and care about everything...
The same is true for writing scripts. Even if it is just a brief outline, Ye Sumang will carefully draw some storyboard scripts, and then fill in the background, characters, and some inspirational dialogues.
Tim looked at the script in his hand, with a relish look on his face. Although it was just an outline and the plot was only a short section, it was enough to attract his attention. In just over a dozen stories, he had already brought him into a sudden end. Moreover, in this end, the female warrior without superpowers only had endless zombies, viruses, and various human hearts.
This last point is actually the most attractive thing about Tim.
Often, this kind of apocalyptic theme highlights how powerful the protagonist is. This is mainly based on "Resident Evil". It is not that this is not good, but it is enough to appear a classic of "Resident Evil", and those imitate it instead have a feeling of "drawing a tiger but not becoming a dog."
The outline I picked up undoubtedly has made new breakthroughs in the subject matter.
Human beings no longer have superpowers, but use familiar means of survival to survive in the end. There is no environment like a dream like fairy tales. Flattering and deceiving each other, brothers flirting with each other, the deeper dark side of human beings bursting into full display.
"This is definitely a work that can become a classic, oh... no no, why is it gone so soon!!!" Tim shouted in despair. As soon as he reached an amazing conclusion, he suddenly woke up. The outline in his hand had been translated by him.
As the head of the TV production department, it is undoubtedly more uncomfortable to encounter such a "good product" but cannot fully appreciate it.
However, after breaking away from that sense of "despair", the first thing that emerged in Tim's mind was the oriental man last night.
"It must be him, I must find him!" Tim thought of his TV station's current situation and made up his mind instantly. In his opinion, this work is the hope of the TV station's resurrection, and it is also the guarantee for him to continue to be promoted and raise.
But one thing was so difficult for Tim, because he suddenly realized that he didn't have the contact information of the oriental man last night. Fortunately, he stuffed him a business card. Since he was a screenwriter, he should contact him after seeing his position...ah!?
Tim's face suddenly turned dark.
Because he touched Ye Sumang's outer pocket of his suit, a card with a very familiar touch was inside. He took it out with his trembling hands. Isn't it his business card?
ah----------------------!!!!
Another sound rang in the small park, scaring a passing man who had just finished exercising and drinking water so much that the kettle on his mouth was thrown out...
Ye Sumang, who was looking forward to and "resentful" by Tim, was lying on his big bed at this time, pretending to sleep.
Although he only returned home in the early morning, Ye Sumang was not sleepy at all.
As for what happened last night, it was just a small episode in Ye Sumang's memory. The only shame is that he could not wear this suit without a coat.
However, the old ones don’t go to the new ones, just like the outline he threw away. Ye Sumang found that the outline he wrote was "missed" halfway through, but he didn’t know where he threw it. However, this just gave him a chance to rewrite.
In Ye Sumang's opinion, the reason for the failure of Ji Yuelai's negotiations with the TV station was not only because of his lack of fame, but the outline also seemed to be because its attractiveness was not enough to impress those TV stations, allowing them to abandon all prejudices and "devote themselves" to embrace this TV series.
Since the outline was lost, Ye Sumang decided to write a better one. Thinking of this, Ye Sumang no longer wasted his time in bed. He turned over and got up, turned on the computer, and started his own creation again.
Although he has already had previous experience, he has been wasting time even more. Especially Ye Sumang seems to have been stimulated. His thoughts have surged in the past few days, and the plot is also one plus and one more. Before he knew it, Ye Sumang, who was only going to write an outline, actually wrote about three episodes of the TV series.
However, this also wasted a full five days. You should know that every day is very precious to Ye Sumang.
But it was finally completed, and the work was more satisfied with Ye Sumang than the previous one, especially the fullness of the character creation and the grasp of the surnames.
"Which TV station should I go to?" Ye Sumang rubbed his temples. The most energy-intensive mental labor was. Even if Ye Sumang felt like a spring, he would still be tired after enduring for such three days, especially at this moment, he finally completed his work. As he relaxed, he felt even more physically and mentally exhausted.
However, at this moment, Ye Sumang didn't care about this fatigue. It was the right way to make sure things were settled early. After all, he had been in the United States for several months and had achieved nothing so far. This does not fit Ye Sumang's own surname.
"There are two left in the four major TV stations, work hard." Ye Sumang encouraged himself, and there are two left. If these two companies are not good, then I'm afraid that they will only choose local TV stations with very little coverage.
That is not the result that Ye Sumang hopes to see. After all, local TV stations have too little influence, and Ye Sumang has sold his TV series to any local TV station in China. Ye Sumang does not want this "record" to be broken in the United States.
However, it seemed that the opportunity to operate was coming. Ye Sumang, who held the new outline, was not rejected by the person in charge of ABC TV. The other party expressed his appreciation for the script more than once during the negotiations, and at the same time, he proposed to Ye Sumang as the director and producer and said that he would consider it again.
However, I have always understood the principle that eggs cannot be placed in a basket. While ABC did not give an answer, Ye Sumang ran to his last target, NBC TV.
As for why I chose this TV station in the end, it is really because of the current situation of this TV station.
As one of the four major TV networks in the United States, NBC was absolutely brilliant before, especially its "Friends" produced by it, which was definitely popular across the United States. In addition, such as "The Storm of the White House" and "The Story of the Emergency Room" are TV series that have achieved very good results across the United States.
However, in the past two years, NBC TV has undoubtedly been on the decline. The ending of "The White House Storm" and "The Story of the Emergency Room" are about to end, but the new series has not been released for a long time. Many works have been released in a few years, but the endings are very bleak. Often, they will be cut off due to audience complaints in less than two quarters.
A TV series from a TV station is definitely the top priority of this TV station's revenue. Without good dramas, the cumulative audience of the previous ratings has gradually disappeared. So far, among the four major TV networks, NBC has been the last place, and even felt that it was surpassed by CW, a new TV network.
In this case, it is understandable that Ye Sumang finally chose it.
When I came to NBC's TV building in Los Angeles, the location was very good and the building was well built. Although the TV station felt like it was a twilight mountain, the face-saving project was undoubtedly very good.
"Can you help me contact Mr. Kent from the TV series production department? I have an appointment." Ye Sumang walked into the building and came to the front desk and asked.
"Hello, please ask your name..."
"Su Mang Ye, just tell him it's Mr. Ye."
"Okay, wait a moment." The receptionist at the front desk was very polite. After telling Ye Sumang, he immediately picked up the phone number at hand, and Ye Sumang walked to the chair in the aisle to rest.
Five minutes later, the receptionist came to Ye Sumang and told me: "Mr. Ye, Mr. Kent has been waiting for you for a long time. Please follow me."
"Thank you." Ye Sumang smiled gracefully, and the girl in the receptionist blushed a little.
He followed the receptionist toward the reception room with the outline, but before he could walk far, he was suddenly stopped by a voice full of surprise.
"Hey, is it you? It's really you! God, I finally found you!"
Ye Sumang turned around in the voice, his eyes couldn't help but condense. It turned out to be this guy.
"Hello, Superintendent Tim." The receptionist on the side said that the person's identity was revealed. Ye Sumang was quite surprised at this time. Was he actually the supervisor of the TV station who saved someone?
Tim didn't have time to pay attention to the receptionist and waved her to leave: "I'll just receive this gentleman. You can go back to work."
The receptionist dared not neglect, but before leaving, the eyes that looked at Ye Sumang were full of curiosity. He obviously did not understand why the Tim manager of his company was so enthusiastic about this handsome oriental.
"Brother, I've been looking for you these days. What are you doing on TV? Let me guess first, you must be here to send the script, right?" Tim hugged Ye Sumang's shoulder very skillfully and asked with a smile.
"How do you know?" Ye Sumang broke free from Tim's "hugging" and asked in confusion.
"Because you left the script that day, I happened to pick it up, and I saw the content curiously. I have to say that it is really a good story." Tim didn't care about Ye Sumang's lack of enthusiasm, and he looked at it with a look of aftertaste when talking about the script.
"I also know that it's a good story. I've written some more. Do you want to read it?" Ye Sumang's eyes flashed slightly. Since he knew Tim's identity and heard his admiration for his script, how could Ye Sumang let go of this opportunity?
"Wow! Where is the script? Show me."
Sure enough, when Tim heard another story came out, he looked very interested.
Chapter completed!
