After a day's rest in Silicon Valley, Adam set off again to return to the film crew. Since most of the TV series were filmed in real scenes, it took a lot of time. Although there are several episodes in reserve, the time behind is too tight. Therefore, Adam can only shoot as many episodes as possible to continue the plot.

The following Wednesday is the premiere of the TV series "True Love". As Adam's hottest novel IP other than himself, Adam is still very concerned about this. Although he himself did not participate in the specific details of the TV series, whether it is Capital investment still has extremely high requirements for actors and directors. Compared with the heavyweight "Legend" with large investment and high cost, although most of this can be done in one place, there are not too many requirements on the venue.

However, it is precisely because the venue and layout are relatively small, so there are higher requirements for the plot. In addition to the overall direction and details of the plot must be in line with the original work, it also needs to be modified for TV drama shooting After all, there is a difference between reading novels and TV dramas. There are many deviations between written and verbal expressions. Words may make people feel emotional, but after putting them in TV dramas, they may be full of embarrassment. It must be taken into consideration.

Therefore, in addition to the novel "True Love", the Eve team personally sat in the town, and also invited Hollywood's top love screenwriters to complete it.

As for the actors most concerned by many audiences, it is natural to first ensure that the acting skills must be above the standard, and then the appearance should not only match the original work as much as possible, but also how good it is, especially the male characters, and all the makeup and costumes of the TV series. Invited the top professionals to guide the whole process, and even in the huge shape design team, Adam used David's industry connections to invite the top leaders of the fashion circle to sit in and ensure that all the costumes and makeup are kept out of the show Under the premise of conforming to the plot design, it should be as good as possible.

Youth TV dramas like this kind of love series, when there are no big names in the town and a lot of special effects to spend money, usually an episode is only a few hundred thousand, but with Adam’s extremely high requirements, the entire TV drama is spent on other than the characters. The funds of other TV drama production companies can make other TV drama production companies call prodigals, and a short episode can exceed one million. If there are special fighting effects, it can even reach 200 million, and the budget of the whole drama is directly 5000 million. Booked a whole season, 24 episodes a season).

Of course, after 20 years, this cost may not even be worth the splash, but it is still strong in US dollars, and TV dramas have not entered the era of burning money. For a love TV drama whose main audience is women, there is absolutely no TV station that has such a big budget. up.

What's more, "True Love" is broadcasting on the new TV station that is cooling down on "American Idol" - PD TV station. If the ratings are not good, even the Big Four will suffer for a long time, and at the beginning of filming, they shouted over [-] million "Legend" with a US dollar budget, I have to say that Adam is really inhumane!

Adam didn't watch the sample in advance. He didn't take a break for half a day until the night when the TV series was broadcast. He sat in the room and watched it carefully from beginning to end. Although it was the first episode, the actors hadn't fully entered the role, and they were a little green , but when the male protagonist's almost perfect muscular body appeared on the screen, and then the camera slowly passed him from head to toe little by little, matching the picture that even Adam's heart slowed down a beat when he first saw it With his handsome looks, Adam knew the show was half done.

Then when the camera closed, the male protagonist changed into a British-style close-fitting suit specially designed by the top designer for the male protagonist. The appearance of a unparalleled gem on the big screen is enough to make more than half of the audience in front of the TV, regardless of gender, fall for it.

When Adam saw this, he knew in his heart that the show was basically done. Of course, it wasn't just because of how good the other party was in casting, but because the director of this TV series knew who the main audience for this TV series was.In addition, except for a few untimely plots, the whole drama almost perfectly fits with the novel, so Adam is not worried about whether the TV series will be successful.

And the facts have proved this point. On October 12th, the first broadcast of the TV series "True Love" exceeded 10 million, and this is still without the addition of "American Idol". It is simply a huge victory, and the most important thing is The most interesting thing is that the instant highest ratings of "True Love" are not in the first 1.9 minutes of the TV series, but at the end of the TV series. Reaching [-] is considered a very good result.

And Adam is also very satisfied with this ratings result. After all, without the introduction of "American Idol", although it is the first broadcast, it is definitely enough for the crew to be proud of being able to win this result under the strong sniping of the four major channels.

After celebrating for a while, PD TV Station began to wait for the ratings data of the third episode of "Legend", which attracted more attention. With the first broadcast being introduced to the audience by the final of "American Idol", "Legend" can be said to have a good start. The results were unimaginably good, but the real test came in the second week, when the third season aired.

Without the introduction of the audience of "American Idol", it can be said that this week's audience is driven purely by the quality of the TV series itself, especially when the national sitcom closed on the same day, the pressure on the TV series "Legend" is not small .

But this TV series is not at all afraid. The plot continues 1/2 episodes. Scott takes his younger brother Bernie out of the manor. The cracking caused the manor to fall into great chaos. All the supernatural beings suddenly got their own supernatural powers, or they destroyed and vented everywhere, or fled outwards to leave this terrible manor. The whole manor exploded instantly from the original dead silence.

And Scott, who caused this result, took advantage of the chaotic period to destroy all the specific information about their group of supernatural beings, and then escaped from the Bates Manor where the flames of war were rising. When the two stood several kilometers away and watched Looking at the Bates Manor gradually disappearing from sight, and behind him is a rising red sun, which gives the whole picture a religious beauty.

And although the plot content of this episode is not complicated, this episode is the most expensive episode of so many episodes filmed in the early days. People are just fleeting characters, but for the sake of authenticity, Adam specially asked his screenwriter team to design exclusive abilities for all the supernatural beings that appeared in the camera, and then specially made special effects, I have to say Adam can pat his chest and tell everyone that the special effects of this episode can crush more than 1994% of the special effects of Hollywood movies in [-] and before.

But it's no wonder, who would spend so much money on a TV series?What's more, it's just an insignificant character, but Adam has a kind of stubborn character like a female director who won't let it go. He didn't let the special effects team go until he was satisfied after watching it repeatedly. However, although the special effects team was too busy, under the pressure of Adam's high intensity, a lot of money, and his serious personality, the business capabilities of the special effects company in Adam's hands can be said to have skyrocketed, and it is already not inferior to Hollywood in some special effects fields. There are many first- and second-tier special effects companies.

And because of Adam's seriousness and willingness to spend money on it, the group drama in this episode has also been widely appreciated. Word of mouth and ratings have proved the correctness of Adam's approach. Although there is no "American Idol" to introduce audiences, relying on Last week, with tens of millions of viewers, as well as the ferment of word of mouth and a lot of publicity in a week, the third episode of "Legend" exceeded 2000 million viewers, and the ratings also exceeded six, which is an excellent figure.

However, Adam did not intend to shoot all of them by himself. After all, there are a large number of plots in the middle that actually overlap, and the difficulty is not too great. Therefore, after Adam finished filming the first six episodes, he packaged and handed over all the TV series except the last two episodes. He gave it to his deputy, and the original assistant director of the TV series took over.

As for him, he naturally has to be busy with more important things, such as starting a certain highlight that he has coveted.

"Hey! Long time no see, Ronald." After handing over the matter at hand, Adam sat in the office relaxedly and made a phone call to an old friend whom he hadn't seen for a long time.

At this time, Ronald Perelman was full of depression. Since the beginning of the 90s when Marvel was first listed, it has been greatly welcomed by the stock market, and its stock price has been rising steadily. It has a tendency to dominate the entire comics industry.

However, as a group of star painters in the comic company turned back to Marvel to start their own business, Marvel lost a group of authors with the most appeal. Although there was Adam behind him to support him a little bit, it was of no use. After 1994, the bubble in the comics industry finally began to burst. Batches of comic shops went bankrupt and closed, and the sales of comics in direct proportion to it also dropped sharply. In addition, Marvel’s attempts in animation and movies have failed miserably. The market no longer trusts Marvel, so Marvel's stock price began to collapse, but it has fallen to the bottom in half a year.

At this time, Ronald Perelman, who originally took over Marvel for profit, began to worry, and was about to throw this hot potato out before Marvel went bankrupt. However, everyone could see that Marvel’s stock price had not bottomed , coupled with today's comics market, no fool is willing to accept whoever takes over. As for the so-called IP, look at DC with the backing of Warner. There have not been many that have made money in so many years. It can be seen that comic adaptations This road is not easy to walk.

The author has something to say: I originally wrote and posted during the day on weekends, but I ended up working overtime, and I added it all day, which is annoying.

In addition, I would like to make complaints about all my favorites on station B. After deleting them, my heart is full of emptiness~~~~~~~ pit!I don’t know what to look for in the future, not to mention I still like the feeling of watching a barrage of movies.
