Chapter 783 Inspiration
Stephen King is a very busy person. After taking pictures with Zhang Chu, he followed each other's Twitter account.
Compared to Zhang Chu who does not update Twitter for ten days and half a month, Stephen King is like an Internet-addicted teenager who often posts things on Twitter.
David George looked at Zhang Chu who returned in triumphantly and couldn't help but praise: "You had a great time chatting with him just now, and it seems that he should know you."
Zhang Chu nodded proudly: "I became Twitter friends with him, which is a happy thing!"
"It sounds good, you accomplished your goal." David George took a sip of champagne. "I just heard a news that someone was asking about the movie adaptation rights of the short story you published in The New Yorker. I should buy this magazine to see!"
British people have always thought that Americans are country bumpkins, nouveau riche, and look down on any literature, art, and even entertainment activities.
David only now knows that Zhang Chu had published an article in the New Yorker.
The quality now seems to be quite good, otherwise there wouldn't be any film company that wants to buy it for shooting.
However, Zhang Chu shook his head and said, "I promised director Li An, and then consider the project "Artificial Intelligence" after he finished his movie "Pi".
"Yes, you and Li An can get at least $50 million in investment from big Hollywood companies. Its name is "Artificial Intelligence"? It sounds like a science fiction movie."
"It's a science fiction movie that focuses on the relationship between artificial intelligence and humans in the future."
"There are already many movies and TV series of this type, and it is difficult to be outstanding. I want to see it now. Maybe no one will find it if I occasionally go away and read books in this corner."
Zhang Chu spread his hands and said helplessly: "You'd better not do this."
While speaking, a radio reminded the guests to return to their positions at the Golden Globe Awards ceremony, and the director was preparing to switch the live video screen.
This feast of movies and TV series officially kicked off!
Host Jimmy-** spoofed the film clips that impressed the audience this year in the form of a stage play, including many big stars. The entire opening looks unique and injected a heart-warming agent into the Golden Globe Awards with weak ratings.
When the happy Sheldon and Penny hugged her tightly excitedly, when Chris Kolf, the post-00s actor, won the Golden Globe Award for his first role in his life, and when Angelina Jolie faced all the jokes that teased her marriage to Pitt as calmly as Queen.
"The work that won the 78th Golden Globe Awards TV Series-Drama Series is "House of Cards"! Congratulations to flix!"
This TV series, which tells the story of cold-blooded and ruthless US Congressman Frank Underwood's entry into the White House has always been regarded as a magical drama.
As soon as these two seasons were released, they attracted the love and praise of audiences around the world!
To completely criticize reality and pay attention to style. Frank played by Kevin Spacey is simply an active political textbook with an IQ online, every day is laid out, every day is struggling, every day is full of tension.
"It deserves its reputation, it's indeed a good drama! It's a pity that Kevin Spacey failed to win the King of Video!"
As a British man, David was not interested in the story of the White House, but Mr. Shimogi, who was in a state of dispossessed with insidious and unsuccessful way, attracted attention in an unexpected way.
Everyone knows that politics is extremely dirty, there is a pool of muddy water inside, and no one is clean.
Even some staff in Washington said that the TV series is just the tip of the iceberg, and the real battle is even more thrilling!
Zhang Chu applauded and sighed: "There are too few excellent dramas like this now. Do you know what type of TV with the highest ratings in our country is now?"
"Sorry, I have never seen any Chinese TV series, I have only watched the edited video of "Journey to the West" on the YouTube tube."
Survive in nature and survive the fittest.
All the American TV series will be left to the audience, usually when filming and playing. If the evaluation and ratings are not good, then it is very likely that it will be cut in half!
Therefore, in order to cater to the audience, American dramas are closely linked and exciting. The types and plot developments of each drama are endless. Even with the same routine, they can tell different stories.
But looking at the current domestic dramas, the plot is monotonous, and you can often guess the ending in one or two episodes, or you can shoot the content of twenty or thirty episodes into seventy or eighty episodes, which is crazy.
Especially in terms of the theme of the works, the favorites of domestic TV dramas are ancient costume romance, modern romance, modern mother-in-law and daughter-in-law, anti-Japanese dramas or young and fresh meat + big IP modes, which make people shake their heads frequently.
In terms of subject design, American dramas seem bold and extraordinary, including political scandals, murderous violence, salesmanship, modern life, and future technological life!
Superhero dramas shine, sitcoms and romantic comedies continue to be strong as traditional strong genres, while thriller dramas involving politics suddenly become popular.
"Homeland Security", "House of Cards", "Secretary of Suspects", "Blacklist", "Ms. Secretary of State", "Vice President", etc. are all loved by audiences and critics.
Zhang Chu no longer remembers when the last time he watched a domestic political drama, and even strictly doubted whether such a TV series appeared!
Many times, this type of TV series is filmed in the direction of a serious drama, and it seems that it has always been a tall collection.
TV series like "My Lord's Ups and downs", "Absolute Power", "Loyalty", and "Black Hole" are just indirect ways, and it seems that they have not really revealed the true face of the officialdom!
Therefore, on the Internet, many officialdoms are highly sought after, and this type of readers are very hard-working. For example, "Hou Weidong's Official Notes" is the best-selling officialdom in history and is hailed as a popular textbook in the Chinese officialdom.
So can we find dozens of veteran actors in China now to shoot a vivid official appearance?
Disaster!
It's very difficult!
In such an environment, it is completely thankless to shoot this type of TV series.
I guess no film and television company is willing to spend money to gain publicity, and may even be stuck on the radio and television side!
How terrible would it be if a TV series that was hard-working, which consumed countless funds and efforts, but could not meet the audience in the end?
"Maybe you can try this direction. If my new book is driven by, it may not be possible for the company to shoot it!"
Chapter completed!
