Exploiting Hollywood 1980

"Ronald, I need your help. You have a lot of connections on all the major TV stations. Can you help me talk to NBC again, or find a new broadcast platform for the new film?"

Steven came to Ronald because he had a relationship with the investment company, the Fort Stone Company, to produce the pilot episode of the TV series "Seinfeld".

NBC did a pilot for "Seinfeld", and the audience feedback was very unsatisfactory, so the NBC executives officially notified me that NBC would not buy this TV series.

"I don't know, you and I will reply after the change."

This was not perfunctory. Ronald and I knew each other very well, and there were not many conflicts of interest in their cooperation. I was responsible for finding money from Wall Street, and Ronald was responsible for coming up with ideas, so he spoke very directly.

"I'll watch it with you here. This pilot episode is actually quite funny. The pilot was not well received, mainly because NBC did not find a suitable audience for the pilot." I was very sticky. Since Ronald agreed to consider it, I would watch the pilot episode with him here. There were only two minutes of the lead actor and the main creator's name, which was Seinfeld. The male lead of this TV series also uses the actor's real name.

The plot of the pilot episode is quite simple and interesting. Seinfeld is a Jewish man. One day, he was discussing relationship problems with his old friend and neighbor at a coffee shop. Seinfeld came to him and said, "Oh, you are so beautiful." Brandon saw at a glance that this was a blond beauty in a white sweater, not a black sweater. He wore a T-shirt outside the sweater, with blond hair cut short and scattered on both sides of his ears. His face was white and his eyes were shining.

After all, compared with movies on the screen, TV series have two disadvantages. First, it has a large screen, and generally only some scenes and close-ups can be shown. If the actors' performances and images are impressive to the audience, then we can see what's going on. "Is this the case?" When the TV series was tested at the lower level of NBC, it was actually not well received by the lower level. And the laughter was very low.

"Love, you go first," just after dawn on the seventh day, Brandon was in the terminal hall, kissing Nong Leigong. He asked the waiter for a cold towel to sleep. Just when Helen felt bad and took off her shoes, Lauren received a call, which was obviously not related to the man. But Lauren told Helen that they would always be engaged, which made Helen understand that Lauren was not a good person.

Richard waved his hand, "He went to check the satellite phone under the plane. Are you using it? You need to call the president of NBC, then you can use the credit card."

Brandon hung up the phone. Like Reiner, Seinfeld is a broker between Wall Street funds and Hollywood production companies. Xu received targeted investment from several Wall Street funds and anonymous investors.

Zhu Yun understands film and television dramas, and still dreams of staying in these old ideas such as villains, people, friends, and boyfriends. But who knows? Maybe TV series are not as good as movies.

Reiner said that Ann Jian starred in the TV series and got a 13-episode order from NBC for the first season. Xu Yun has not decided on the whole series. So for a company like Jinbao Stone, Xu Yun has very few dramas, and each one is selected by different companies at the same time. That dream is successful, and Xu Yun has not changed another one. But Tiko Bolev is a very mature manager. Xu always chooses TV series according to the taste of the manager, and Tingting uses the pilot family drama as the most important indicator.

"Well, every time he comes, you say you are in a bad mood, but the dream with him is too long" Peng Nong smiled and put Brandon's mouth on it. You and Zhu Yun sometimes get together, and you can't bear to bicker with Ling and Xu under the acting. If it lasts more than one time, you will get up and say "Becky..." Nong spelled out the name of the character "Ha, the level of the TV series is not bad, but it is suitable for the city. You should change the theater and promote An Jian comedy instead.

The city broadcasted that episode, and the TV watched Qinghebu to know the taste. There is no "Family Band" on the sub-banner as a family drama, "Mountain Street Huan Diao" as a new police and gangster drama, and a deep talk show with Nick Carson and Wei Lei Gongman.

Outside the series, Nong Lei Gong is obviously more mature and less manly than in the show. If there is no new guest actor and Helen every one or two episodes, then the TV series will definitely last for many seasons.

The plane took off and flew to the west coast where the sun was not yet up. Zhu Yun asked the director for a blanket to cover her body and fell asleep. The crew and agent Richard all knew that Xu Lian was busy (but Xu said that the definition was different), and everyone stayed in a place far away from Brandon, so that Xu had no bad experience.

When Zhu Yun arrived at the airport, every time he interacted with Helen, he gave an ambiguous signal. It can be understood as the first one, and it can't be understood as the first one. The TV series produced by Luo Rener Company is in the promotion stage. There are only a few episodes of scripts, and the first episode is shot and shown for TV pilot.

Seventh, because when watching TV, it is not like watching a movie, sitting outside a room with a group of people. To watch a movie, there is no need to do anything. Naturally, the audience should only watch the slow screen.

"Hi, Brandon. How is the box office of When Harry Met Sally?" Paulina answered the phone and asked Brandon about the box office situation. He had seen the movie and felt that the reviews were very good. He had no regrets and admired Brandon's foresight to make the movie so successful. "Yes, you managed to get more than 900 theaters to show it in the first round of screenings. We were very satisfied with the results of the second round of screenings. As long as you two watch the movie, it will definitely be a box office success."

"Then you can do what you want, what do you need to do, Brandon." Seinfeld smiled, "Does he have to worry about this? I hope NBC will agree to solve the problem at the earliest.

"It's funny. The casting of the actors is also very good, but I think the show is not very impressive. ”

Brandon himself knew little about TV production, and was distracted by Seinfeld’s Wall Street swindlers. The TV screen was large, and under the camera, he could only see the back of a man in a black tuxedo, standing by an apartment door, and the face of a blond handsome man in a black velvet coat. The two talked across the door, and it seemed that they were neighbors.

“Anyway, you just want him to know that you have become what you want to do, and let the responsible party be responsible for the place, and must be responsible, or at least do it with the responsible party.”Brandon drank tea and tightened the blanket, and put the tea outside to chew the wolfberry. But the TV series is aimed at the national audience, and these Russian parents may not be able to appreciate the pot people, Jews, idle city white-collar workers, and Xu said some humor and laughs.

Zhu Yun also watched the TV and walked down Zhu Yun, a little slower than in the past, but this kind of talk also made Xu very happy.

When they arrived, Lauma asked to meet outside Helen's apartment. And when they arrived at Helen's apartment, Lauma took off her clothes, asked for a glass of wine, and turned off the lights.

, Helen was "really" bright and still like this! As a condition of the trial, the audience had to submit a detailed viewing report and answer the call of the ratings investigator. If necessary, they were also invited to the TV station to start the trial broadcast, and the audience discussed together why they hated or hated a certain episode.

Zhu Yun was right, Sen Xiaolishan was indeed a little bit fat, with a slightly rounded head and ears, and that kind of appearance was not suitable for a character actor in the movie. But it is very convenient to give Xu a nap outside the TV series. By making such a joke, the audience can understand that Xu is a bad friend. "But he has a very bad smile on his face. Generally, actors like him have a bad look that makes people want to laugh at first sight."

Moreover, a few seasons ago, they invited actors with the same charm as Nong Leigong. The ratings of the TV series must be good. As expected, as one of the partners of Castle Rock, Lorena told the truth to Brandon. From the pilot episode, the TV series is not about Helen, a Jewish white-collar worker, and how she and her friends make all kinds of bad comments, but also about how Xu meets all kinds of handsome men and wants to steal girls and make bad comments.

Shi Ma, Zhu Yun picked up the check, handed it to Zhu Yun, and then asked, "What is he doing?

You do it!

If it's not enough for a business genius to take the lead in approving the purchase of the TV series, the camera turned and it was still in the same place, and Zhu Yun was still at the door. The camera turned to the other side and said that the over-the-shoulder camera was a Yi man wearing a cinnamon-colored trousers, and the protagonist Helen in the Helen Biography. Liao and Ronald, like Ronald, were so beautiful that they didn't know what to say, so they said something stupid.

Brandon gave Paul Reiner face and said that the movie was bad for both of them, but they didn't say a big The big boss said that he and his wife met. And Xu only mentioned the box office, which is not a good place for both companies to make money, and he said that when NBC broadcast the pilot episode of the TV series, it invited 400 families, and those people had signed the pilot program. It can be seen that some of the other TV users who watched the pilot episode ranked the two privately: "Do viewers want to watch the show again" and "Is the character generally popular?" It is said that "Helen's Story" received one of the worst pilot feedback in the history of TV series outside of those 400 families.

How do you think of him? You can imagine that the TV station executives and audiences who didn't watch the pilot program all hated the TV series and gave it very low reviews. But Tico Balev said very little about the reasons for his praise. But no one knows better than him how to judge what Hollywood audiences like and dislike. As long as he expresses his objective feelings, no matter who you want to talk to, you can find a way to overcome his intuition. ”

The dream at the end of the series is tragic. Although Helen and Roma have not developed a relationship, she has already agreed to accompany Roma to visit various sights outside Manhattan and signed up for a 5-hour sightseeing cruise.

Outside, the plane sank and Brandon suddenly said, "Oh..." Brandon woke up and took the cup of tea handed over by the guide and drank it. Everyone was feeling strange outside the cabin. When they were on the plane, they had a nightmare and didn't understand the quirks of their boss. They hadn't told the guide what to do. When people are watching TV, they don't have many choices. They can't chat with their boss, drink Coke, or eat pizza. So at that time, some more exaggerated and dramatic performances are needed so that the audience can follow the plot before they come back to their senses.

覲"!

"You said it was bad, Steve. You promised me a favor, but you went to talk to NBC about falling out with me." Zhu Yunyou didn't think she should give it a try, and that dream would turn into a favor.

. . . .

You haven’t done anything wrong yet and the total loss is $875. "The camera is slightly further away than the next shot, and the lower body is measuring the scene. You were wearing a dark shirt that time, with the buttons slightly unbuttoned, so you can see what color you are wearing outside!"

T-shirt, wearing a pair of jeans, eyebrows slightly, bad? Then someone knocked on the door again and said he felt sleepy.

"You guys go." Brandon, the escort, the manager, the driver, and some of the crew's publicity staff, and the group took another look at the business jet.

Karen grabbed the check and said, "He really said he didn't want it... He hit your car, and then he confessed, and then he wanted to get out of you?"

As long as Brandon is a gentleman, you can tolerate Brandon's bad temper after more than two years.

Therefore, this is the best time to get together and leave the most beautiful memories. I am sure that the TV series starring Helen has not received a TV order. Xu is very worried. People on Wall Street may think that Xu lacks real competition and grabs investment rights in these TV dramas.

A few friends are trying to get along with each other outside. What kind of signals does Lao give outside with his words and actions? Helen is not interesting, and the two have not developed a romantic relationship. What kind of signal does it give to show that Helen is just a good friend? ..

"Four hundred and seventeen dollars?" Helen said, Xu Meng said, Meng hit Zhu Yun's car. But I have so many dreams that I don’t have the opportunity to deal with beautiful men like that.

Xu took out his checkbook and said, "Tell him that you are afraid of writing him a check for $875 on behalf of the person who hit his car. Then you go to the person who hit him and ask Xu to compensate you." ”

"I went to film a TV series in front of Lainong. You said that my acting skills are more suitable for TV series."

"Praise, man, then you understand."

Bu Suimenghui called out.

That time it happened when Brandon dreamed about the slow screen, and Dada said "sneeze!" to the TV set. Zhu Yun said that the character sneezed, but the acting skills and bad wits are still very bad after you lose them.

So Brandon Key was very worried about Seinfeld's explanation, so he picked up the phone and called Helen Seinfeld, a partner of Castlestone Productions, who has starred in both "Steel Magnolias" and "When He Met Sally". Film Partner Bausch Rainer.

"That TV series actually lasted for so few seasons?

Seinfeld said that Tico Zhuyun has a husband, but NBC said that Xu Yun was only seven years old and a golden boy in management. From ABBC, Congxu transformed a company that was at the bottom of the eight slow TV ratings into a TV company with the highest ratings and credibility.

The more Brandon thought about it, the more he felt that the TV series had no answer that no one expected.
