America: Starting with the acquisition of MGM

Chapter 256 I am a big brush, I don’t look like a heroine

"Hahaha... You are really strong! You still haven't given up on this piece of shit!"

Looking at the TV screen, Fox TV station was still advertising "American Idol", and Eric couldn't help but admire them.

Theron was lying in his arms, crawling like a lazy kitten, but her figure was so good that even with her 177-meter height, she couldn't get any smaller even if she curled up.

"I really don't understand what these people are thinking. "American Idol" has been scolded. If it were me, I would definitely let the show fend for itself and just complete the advertiser's contract."

"I'm afraid Fox isn't too worried. After all, it was Ace that just started last year. The first season simply triggered a viewing frenzy."

Eric thought about it. Last year, "American Idol" ranked third in the United States in ratings. It was an absolutely superb performance and earned Fox hundreds of millions of dollars in profits.

It is said that they only spent 3 million US dollars to buy the copyright from the UK at that time. They did not expect the show to be popular. They were just taking over the old variety show temporarily, but they did not expect it to be unintentional.

Such a good seedling could have become a super cash cow, but unexpectedly it was ruined in the second season.

Not to mention Fox's unwillingness to do so, anyone would not be reconciled to it, and almost everyone would try their best to save it.

What's more, in addition to "American Idol", Fox is currently able to produce popular variety shows. The TV station will definitely want to support it until the next popular show appears before retiring "American Idol".

But the more resources they put into it, the happier MGM was, the happier Lionheart was, and the happier Eric was.

Because judging from the current collapsing reputation of "American Idol", the harder it promotes, the worse it will be criticized.

On the contrary, "The Voice" became the beneficiary, and a large number of viewers were attracted to Lionheart.com, which is really a scam!

"Dear, I am also a senior member of Lionheart.com, contributing $99 to you every month." Theron smiled.

Eric pinched her cheek: "99 U.S. dollars is really a huge sum of money. I took note of it, so now you still owe me less than 1 billion U.S. dollars in debt."

"What!" Theron looked at him with wide eyes.

"Every time I pour soy milk for you, according to scientific research, it contains hundreds of millions of tadpoles, which are very valuable."

"Did you know that there is always a bounty on the black market? Someone is buying the tadpoles of various wealthy and high-ranking officials at high prices."

"Ah? Really? No way!" Theron opened his mouth in surprise.

Eric caught his tongue and sucked it: "You're surprised, right? But don't be surprised yet, because this is the truth."

"Bill Gates, Tom Cruise, Bezos, and Vince Young are all on the list, and I am one of them, and my ranking is not low."

"Those guys want, well, what do they want to do? What's the use of this thing?"

"What's the use? It's of great use. You can artificially cultivate children. Do you know about in vitro fertilization? After you have a child, you will blackmail celebrities and rich people for money."

"This kind of thing can't be explained clearly. As long as the DNA verification is consistent, even if it's really not you, you can't quibble. The media will be very enthusiastic about it."

"If things get serious, they will only lose their reputation, so many people choose to suffer a loss and lose money to avoid disaster."

"Baby, you are a woman and you may not have noticed. In fact, near the homes of many male celebrities, in addition to the paparazzi, there are also a group of people squatting. They will rummage through the trash cans looking for used condoms."

"It's best to have fresh stock in it. As long as it's on the black market, people who want to buy it can line up all the way to Washington. It's a scarce resource that has a price but no market."

"Eh!!!" Theron waved his hands disgustingly.

"Stop talking, I feel like vomiting."

"Well, it's true, it has a bit of a sweet and sour orange flavor."

"Then tell me, do you owe me a lot of money?"

"Go to hell!"

Theron hit Eric, and the two rolled together and kissed passionately.

After taking a breath, Theron asked: "Dear, please come up with some internal resources for "The Voice". I really want to see them."

"No, no, I signed a confidentiality agreement, and the original resources are in Fine Arts. If I want to take it, I have to tell Michael Jackson. Taking it without telling him is a thief, no matter how good your relationship is." Eric shook his head and refused. .

"Then I won't embarrass you. Just tell me who the champion is."

"I have no idea."

"Liar! You are a producer, don't you know? Just tell me, I won't leak the secret."

"I really don't know. The finals haven't been recorded yet. My intention is to watch the live performance. He hates the unspoken rule of pre-determining the championship."

"The finals haven't been recorded, does that mean the semi-finals have been recorded? Then tell me who are the winners of the four teams."

Seeing that the man was a little embarrassed, Theron took Eric's hand and put it into his pajamas.

"Okay, okay, okay, just tell me, my dear, Katy Perry can be saved until the end, I like her the most."

Eric's mouth was torn to the waistband of his pants as his mind was dazzled by Theron's coquettishness.

"You're right, Katy Perry did make it to the end, along with Bruno Mars, Taylor Swift and Celine Trudeau, the four of them will compete for the title."

"Who's winning?"

"Baby, it's useless no matter how many times you try. The finals really haven't been recorded yet, and I really don't know."

Theron puffed up his cheeks: "I don't believe you! By the way, I still want to ask you something."

"What?"

"What do you think of filming a TV series? Which one is more promising, a movie or a TV series?"

Feeling that she seemed to have realized something, Eric smiled and said: "Why is there such a problem? Now of course movies are better than TV series."

"I know movies are stronger now, but I mean in the future, haven't you noticed? It seems that suddenly many movie stars have begun to move to the small screen."

"Especially the "House of Cards" just launched by Lionheart. Oh my god! Kevin Spacey's performance is so charming. The ups and downs of the plot coupled with the actor-level performance, this drama is like a whirlpool. The audience is captivated.”

"You know, honey, I watched it in one day. Last weekend, I lay in bed and on the sofa and watched variety shows and "House of Cards" for a whole day."

"By the way, didn't you come up with a new concept a few days ago, what is it called?"

“binge-watching, binge-watching!”

"Yes, it is binge-watching. Now it has been extended to a new word called brush, which refers to people who finish "The Voice", "House of Cards" and "Supernatural" in one go. Now I am a big brush."

"Hahahaha" Eric couldn't help laughing.

"The Voice" was blessed with various gimmicks such as superstars, duels, and PKs, and it was Lionheart's first popular work to break out of the industry.

And "House of Cards" is not far behind. Those viewers who have finished the first half of "The Voice" will soon turn their attention to "House of Cards".

In particular, "House of Cards" is well-produced. The 12 episodes are not large in size and the pace is very fast. Each episode contains several climaxes and conflicts.

After watching the first ten minutes of the first episode, the vast majority of viewers couldn't take their eyes off the screen anymore. Then they continued watching episode after episode, and unknowingly finished the entire episode. Afterwards, they were still looking for someone to share the plot with.

IMDB has opened the score, and "House of Cards" lived up to expectations and scored 1 point. Among them, 75% of the votes were 8 points and above, which is an absolutely high reputation.

Although according to convention, as the number of raters increases and time goes by, the scores will generally decline, but it has shocked many people's attention.

Currently, "House of Cards" is ranked 11th on the imdb drama rankings, almost reaching the top ten.

This ranking list not only includes TV series, but also various animations, etc. The base number is more and more complex than the movie list. You can imagine how difficult it is to get high scores in it.

Looking through the comments below, that is a scene that many directors dream of.

"'House of Cards' fully proves what it means to be awesome. I hate watching political dramas so much that I hate it to the point of physical disgust and nausea, but this show is still so good that I can't stop watching it. This is called awesome!"

"A divine drama! This drama fully demonstrates that politics is a game for people with high IQ, high EQ and low empathy."

""House of Cards" is definitely the number one drama since the beginning of the year. It's really enjoyable to watch the bloody life of well-dressed politicians, media and upper class people. I just like to watch them dog-eat-dog. I watched it in one sitting. It’s so cool!”

"I have watched the British version of the drama, so I registered as a member immediately to watch this version. Unlike the British version, Eric Cooper's version of "House of Cards" is completely dark and is a political thriller, full of cold-blooded ruthlessness. Politicians. Frank always likes to break the fourth wall and talk to himself, that’s because they can only tell their stories to themselves.”

"Satan, the throne belongs only to you!"

"Are your reviews so complicated? My biggest feeling after reading this is that office workers really need a rowing machine. Where can I buy one?"

"My dad and I watched the entire 12 episodes at once, and we didn't even have much lunch. I hope Lionheart will quickly produce a second season, and we hope to launch more excellent series like "House of Cards" for convenience." I lose weight.”

"Raise your hands if you read it in one go, I'm a big brush!"

"The relationship between the male and female protagonists is truly divine. From them, I understand that interests are always more reliable than feelings."

"The trick of breaking the fourth wall is very clever. It can not only explain the conspiracy hidden under the surface, but also maximize Kevin Spacey's personal charm. The whole show has a gloomy gray tone and is overflowing with juice. The dialogue and the intricate direction are just too good for my taste.”

“It’s been a long time since Tom and Jerry that I wanted a villain to win, but are there really positive characters in this show?”

"House of Cards was actually written and directed by Eric Cooper. I found that as long as he is responsible for the works, there is no one that is not high-quality. He is definitely the top among young directors. Note that when I say young, I mean under 40 years old. "

“Praise be to Eric Cooper!”

Because of the popularity of "House of Cards", some viewers even questioned Eric's failure to win the Oscar for Best Director. Even if he wanted to stay behind the scenes, he was too powerful.

well!

Not allowed, really not allowed!

"Dear, just because of the success of "House of Cards", Kevin Spacey's salary has skyrocketed, and now the market price has reached 13 million US dollars."

"Are you envious? When "Inception" is released, your salary will not be lower than this figure."

"Not really, I just think that filming a TV series is also a good choice. As long as you come across a suitable script, you can give it a try. What do you think?"

Eric shook his head: "My suggestion is to wait, at least until a year later. The market should have changed significantly by then."

"What do you mean? You always like to say such vague things. Not everyone can see it as clearly as you do."

"Baby, Lionheart will completely change the market environment for film and television dramas, at least TV dramas. Its existence will help or force film and television dramas to develop in a more sophisticated direction."

"If you want to produce a good drama, investment is essential. Money is the basis of everything. Maybe in a year's time, more and more movie stars will join it, and it will not be too late for you to end up."

Eric's suggestion is based on the development trajectory of the American TV drama market before time travel. Judging from the current situation alone, things are indeed developing in that direction.

It was afternoon on the far side of the ocean.

Yanjing, a press conference is in progress.

A deputy director of the Optoelectronics Bureau, a deputy director of Yanjing Satellite TV, a manager of Longteng Company, the two male protagonists of "The Power of Evil" and Liu Yifei are all on the list.

Among them, Longteng Company is newly established in China and is responsible for the introduction of American dramas. As for whether it will expand its power in the future and be responsible for other dramas, it is unknown.

At present, the company is affiliated to the Optoelectronics Bureau and is a subordinate unit. The general manager and legal person are Han Sanping.

"Manager Chen, is "The Power of Evil" the first American TV series to be officially introduced into the country since the turn of the millennium? Can you tell us its significance?"

"Ahem, strictly speaking, "The Force of Evil" is not. CCTV Overseas Theater has actually been broadcasting American dramas. I think many people have watched "Band of Brothers."

"However, the airing of "Evil Force" on Yanjing Satellite TV this time represents the re-opening of the introduction door to local satellite TV."

Everyone present knew that a new red-headed document had been issued some time ago, and they immediately understood that today's press conference had been implemented.

The reporter asked Liu Yifei again: "In the TV series, what is the main responsibility of your character?"

Liu Yifei looked at the two evil spirits of the Wen family next to her: "Dean and Sam are evil spirit killers, and I can also be regarded as a demon hunter. We were rivals at first, but later we became friends. I helped them deal with evil spirits and devils."

"So you are the heroine?"

After hesitating for a moment, Liu Yifei looked to the side again, and then communicated with the other party in English. The Wen family immediately laughed.

"I don't know how to answer this question, but I can't seem to say that I am a heroine, but I have the most roles among all female characters."

"Who do you have a romantic scene with in the show?"

"None of them, that's why I said I don't look like a heroine!"
