USA.

After getting married in the summer, I returned to the United States. There are two main things to be busy with.

First, focus on the Sino-British negotiations in Hong Kong; second, consolidate the strength of the world's production.

During Sino-British negotiations, Xia Tianxia Media's position has always been inclined to the mainland, always revealing the shortcomings of the British negotiating team, making them embarrassed.

Although this is very good and has helped the mainland a lot, Xia Tian has to consider himself. Now, Hong Kong is still the territory of the UK after all. Now he is blindly opposed to the UK and may be retaliated by others. Although Hong Kong is known as the enamel area, he must also beware of some people's in a hurry.

So after consideration, he decided to come to the United States first and stay away from Hong Kong. This is a place of failure.

He is the biggest funder of US President Lao Bushi, and Lao Bushi also relies on his media to spread publicity, so he will definitely protect him. Even if the UK asks Lao Bushi for help, he may not listen.

The reason is very simple. Britain is an ally of the United States, but not his ally. Most of the reason why the ruling figures participate in politics is for their own interests, and who will really consider it for the interests of the voters?

Therefore, Lao Bushi will certainly choose his personal interests in the face of personal interests and national interests. This is absolutely unquestionable.

When you come to the United States in summer, you can still command Hong Kong's operations via telephone, network, etc. without delaying any trouble.

What’s even more fun is that because he is not in Hong Kong, he gives people the illusion that everything that happens in Hong Kong has nothing to do with him.

In this way, summer can successfully stay away from the whirlpool of right and wrong. Even if the UK blames him in the future, it will not be so easy to win the trust of the people.

...

As for developing world production, it is now one of the key points of summer work.

Unlike Columbia Pictures, Tianxia Production is now a company that belongs entirely to his own, and he receives all the profits alone. Unlike Columbia Pictures, the money you earn has to be distributed to other shareholders.

It is precisely because we can enjoy exclusive benefits that summer invests much more energy in world production than Columbia Pictures.

"Jerry, what are the plans for the company recently?" he asked the company manager Jerry Brookheimer.

"I am now working with Columbia Pictures to shoot "Hangover 2". In addition, I am also collecting scripts and preparing to participate in the spring procurement of American dramas." Brookheimer reported.

February and March in the United States are the day when major TV stations purchase American dramas in the new year. Major production companies will actively participate in the procurement season and give their carefully prepared scripts to the TV stations.

If they think it's good after watching it, then they will shoot an episode to pilot it first. If the response is good, they will order a whole season.

Although American dramas make less money than movies, a movie like "Home Imperial" has a net profit of more than $300 million. The purchase price of an American drama is only more than $1 million. To make 300 million US dollars, it will have to be filmed at least more than one hundred episodes.

But American TV series also have advantages over movies.

First, small investment. Small investment means small risks. As the saying goes, small boats are easy to turn around. If a US drama is lost, it will only cost millions of dollars. But if a movie loses money, tens of millions of dollars is considered small.

Second, if American dramas are well filmed and are renewed, they can continue to film. Although they don’t make much money in each episode, they are better than the long-term flow.

The reason why Columbia Pictures lost so much money in filming but was able to avoid bankruptcy is that it still had several American dramas filming and was constantly transfusions to it.

Although the production of the world requires more auctions of movies, in fact, more American dramas can be filmed without delay.

"If there is no good script, I have a few." So Xia Tian said with a smile when he heard this.

"Oh, boss, if you have a good script, that's better." Brookheimer immediately smiled when he heard this.

Although he also found several scripts, he always felt that he was not very sure. But if it was a script written by Xia Tian, ​​it would be different.

Xia Tian is now a world-class director and screenwriter. Even if his script is just average, the TV station will give him face because of his fame. Of course, if Xia Tian writes the script very well, the TV station is even more willing to buy it at a high price.

"Yeah." Xia Tian smiled, "I'll go back and give you the creativity."

...

Xia Tian has watched many American dramas in his previous life, and several of them have been given to Columbia Pictures, but he has not taken out any more good stories.

He then helped Brookheimer write three creative ideas for American dramas. One was "Prison Storm", also known as "Oz".

"Prison Storm" is a classic American drama launched by HBO that year. It depicts prison life and is dark and violent. Once released, it was awarded the title of "the most violent American drama in history".

However, this did not affect its ratings, but instead made it win many loyal audiences. Because there is a violent complex in people's subconscious mind, the drama "Prison Storm" made the audience unable to resist the rush of hormones and enjoy the ultimate pleasure through exquisite stories, distinctive characters, and violent scenes.

Xia Tian also watched this American drama in his previous life, and it felt better than "Prison Break". He believed that if he had filmed it now, he would have achieved good ratings.

Another script is Stargate.

In his previous life, the American drama "Star Gate" was adapted from the movie "Star Gate" launched by MGM Pictures in 1994.

When the movie was released that year, the box office was just average. The production cost was 55 million US dollars, and the box office was only 71 million US dollars.

However, after adapting it into an American drama, it was very popular. Not only did "Star Gate" film for ten seasons in a row, but it also released two spin-off dramas and many spin-off movies, which can be said to be a great success.

Summer is naturally not cheap for outsiders in classic American dramas. Although it is only nine years now and the special effects are not as gorgeous as in the previous life, the audience's taste is not that high, so Summer believes that this American drama will still be popular.

Besides, he has a special effects company himself. He just used this drama to practice, which can be regarded as helping it solve the problem of life.

The last American drama is "Friends", which is most well-known to Chinese people. The classic American drama is undoubtedly one of the most influential American dramas in the world. The number of people who have watched it exceeds 4 billion, and the total profit is expected to exceed 2 billion US dollars.

Xia Tian actually wanted to give this show to Columbia Pictures, but now he has changed his mind and wants to leave the show to himself.

...

After Xia Tian finished writing the story, he gave it to Brookheimer.

After reading it, Brookheimer expressed his surprise.

But what he is most interested in is not "Friends" or "Prison Storm" but "Star Gate".

In his opinion, "Friends" is just an ordinary sitcom, and it has no special highlight. In fact, there are many comedies like this that focus on warm cards in the United States, such as "The Troubles of Growth", "Happy Hotel", etc.

The story of "Prison Storm" is indeed good and very attractive, but it is a bit too violent. Such an American drama cannot be played on public TV stations, but can only be played on cable stations. The subscription users of cable stations are limited, so they will definitely not be purchased at a high price.

Therefore, although its story is good, it will not make the company too profitable because of the subject matter.

But "Star Gate" is different. It is a science fiction movie with a grand narrative structure and exquisite settings. It connects ancient civilizations with aliens, the universe, etc., and is very imaginative.

Such dramas will definitely be popular with the audience because there have been precedents, such as Lucas's "Star Wars" series of movies, such as the American drama "Star Trek" with the same theme, etc.

The American people have never had the power to resist dramas of this kind and will definitely be fascinated by it.
