Chapter 871 (1/2)
”The boss, lucky cigarettes and Canadian Club Whisky are very satisfied with the publicity effect of the first season's mad men's broadcast. They have no objection to our request to increase the price of advertising placement. Lucky agrees to the offer of $10 million and the whisky of $6 million.”
Hearing the good news reported by AMC's CEO plepleplepler, Andy could not help nodding and smiling: ”the advertising price of cigarettes should be tough, but according to California law, actors can't smoke in the workplace, and these herbal cigarettes should be well marked. Since the family has money, they should be professional.”
”I see, boss.” In response, Mr. pleplepleplepler nodded with a smile. To be honest, he jumped from HBO. He took a great risk. After sitting on the CEO's throne, he directly became a producer and participated in the production of the TV series mad men.
It's very successful, and the ratings are not brilliant, but the word-of-mouth explosion has also put him on the throne. At the same time, when he was the production director of the TV series in HBO, his ideas began to stir. What he highly praised was all kinds of big Chi degrees, heavy Kou flavor, and he has been looking for new ideas.
However, at this time, the talented young boss threw out a rough story setting outline that could not be called a script, which made pleplepleplepler completely excited. The emperor, violence, blood, and various elements were set to pile up together, and there was no bottom line or heavy Kou flavor of the festival.
Sure enough, HBO's position has also been impacted.
”Boss, this is Jason Johnson's novel” empire by the sea ”. I want to buy his film adaptation rights as a future major show of the year.”
Andy, who had been drinking coffee, heard pleplepleplepler's words and saw the books on the table, and almost spewed out the coffee in his mouth. After swallowing hard, he coughed a few times. Amanda, who was sitting beside him, hurriedly took out his handkerchief and handed it to Andy.
”Polly, I've read this novel and I like it very much, but do you know that to restore the Atlantic City depicted in the 1920s, it needs real gold and silver to build a virtual city?”
Andy will not be unfamiliar with the Atlantic Empire, but he also knows that the first episode of the TV series cost about 18 million dollars to build a virtual city in Brooklyn, New York. Frankly, although the ratings and reputation are very strong, it does burn a lot of money.
”Boss, this novel is really valuable. I know the money for shooting will be huge, but I'm sure it will pay off handsomely.” Pleplepler also knows that it will cost a lot of money, but he is confident to recover the cost and make profits.
”Well, first buy the copyright, and then postpone the shooting plan. After all, we already have the highly acclaimed age play of advertising maniacs. There is no need to produce another age play, the historical play of blood and sand. Now the first thing is to produce another modern fashion play. You two have seen the British TV play” the shameless man ”. 。。 Have you seen them all? That's good. Go and buy its overseas copyright. This is my idle adaptation of the American version of ”the shameless man” and the script outline of the first episode
That's right. Andy's goal this time is ”the shameless man”, the story of the poorest family in the United States. It's a story that frightens thousands of girls and discredits the social atmosphere Old rogue play!
As a family life drama, Sheng Meng is definitely the most eye-catching label of the shameless.
Whether it's the picture or the plot, the impression of the American play to Andy is that the American play has been shaking Andy's shaky three views in the world, and shamelessly said to him: little darling, you really see too little in the world!
”Poof -”
plepleplepler looks at the settings of the main characters, and the first sentence of the first episode: ”warning: the following content wuhui extremely, when you are 18 years old, please keep your pure mind while reading. As the sun rose, senior animals in Chicago's slums began a day of ”better to die than to live...”
The more you look at it, the more thrilling it is for plepleplepler. He looks up at the big young boss and seems to see the light... Cough, all kinds of problems that can't be put on the table are tossed out by ”real bullets”. Huang, it's just like taking off. In contrast, HBO's episodes are serious historical documentaries.
”Poof --”
”haha, it's disgusting, Andy, I didn't even know you... Ha ha, how can you write such a story, giggle... ”
Amanda looked at the script in his hand, at the conversations that didn't stink and didn't pollute, and laughed directly. The flowers and branches trembled, and the laughter couldn't stop.
