Chapter 851 Absolutely Reliable Ace American Drama

The variety show Yin Jun gave "American Idol", Tang Shuxuan had some expectations, but she could treat it with an ordinary mind.

But people like Tang Shuxuan are a little itchy about what TV series Yin Jun will give to Disney TV Channel.

"Tell me! Which three TV series are they and where are the scripts?" Tang Shuxuan put down his chopsticks and asked with anticipation.

"The script is in my study, take it with you when you leave." Yin Jun said harmoniously, "These three TV series will really not disappoint you."

"That's not necessarily the case." Tang Shuxuan said deliberately, "There are thousands of TV channels in the United States. If you want to stand out, it's no use just relying on a good script. You also have to find your own position."

Yin Jun nodded repeatedly after hearing this, "Sister Xuan, so I am really relieved that you will take charge of the American branch."

Many so-called elites who "everyone is drunk but I am sober" would often criticize China's TV station system for a certain period of time in the future.

They took Japan as an example.

"There are only 6 TV stations in Tokyo, and there are no more than 30 TV stations in Japan, and they have very few channels. But what about China? There are seven or eight channels in one city, and each district here even has two. . The entire country has at least more than a thousand channels, but how many channels are actually watched by people? I’m afraid it’s the upstart China like you that wastes resources like this? "

To be honest, most of this is actually true.

The waste of resources on that TV channel should definitely be rectified. The bloated personnel, repetitive program broadcasts, various advertising chaos...etc., even if the TV stations and channels in China are cut in half, it will not feel inadequate at all. .

However, if you say that only China does this, the Americans will be the first to refuse.

Damn it.

The TV stations and channels in the United States are the same, okay?

Although it is not really tens of thousands, it is definitely more than those in China.

Why are the major TV stations not called TV stations, but TV networks?

It's because they basically have hundreds or thousands of local TV stations working together to form a TV network.

The situation here is really too complicated and cannot be explained clearly at the moment.

You only need to know one thing, because the United States does not have any censorship system, so as long as you are an American, you can theoretically run a TV station.

As for how to become a star, how to integrate into the TV network, and how to make money, you need to think about it yourself, and others will not care about you anyway.

So from another perspective, in the United States, private individuals are responsible for their own profits and losses, while in China, all resources are collective, which is a waste of people's wealth, so they still have to be scolded.

How to stand out from thousands of TV stations, Disney TV Channel has taken the first step.

It relies on its own cartoons and its positioning of teenagers to identify which age group it should win over. It cannot be said to be famous in the United States, but ordinary programs still have one or two million viewers. A better one can reach three million.

This is already good!

It is firmly in the top 30 in the United States.

Within the ABC television network, it is also considered an important member that is taken seriously.

But there is one thing.

The Disney Channel has so many limitations.

The audience it targets is basically children between the ages of 8 and 18. In fact, fewer and fewer young people between the ages of 16 and 18 are watching it.

Therefore, Disney's positioning is also locked in this age group, and there is no way to make changes.

If you dare to broadcast a TV series that is pornographic, ridiculous, and full of jokes today, they will dare not watch them all tomorrow.

I don’t know if you can rely on these TV series to attract audiences in the future, but you will definitely collapse now, and the whole industry will collapse.

Therefore, even though Tang Shuxuan is very confident in Yin Jun's TV series, she can't help but remind this talented young man that he must not act recklessly if he has to look at the dishes.

Yin Jun certainly has enough confidence.

Of the major television networks in the United States in later generations, CBS relies on young people between 18 and 26, with countless youth dramas; ABC caters to younger age groups and likes family-friendly TV dramas; NBC tends to cater to people in the workplace. , involving various industries in society.

As for those pay TVs, they have a lot of different tastes.

Showtime is a typical example of violent American dramas with no limit; HBO is famous for its exquisiteness and high quality, but there are no restrictions on genres; Netflix advocates large investment and large production, which will definitely make you enjoy watching.

Many of the audience groups here can actually overlap.

For example, some people like to watch HBO's "Game of Thrones," but that won't stop them from watching CBS's "The Big Bang Theory" or ABC's "The Walking Dead."

But it's rare that you see people who watch Disney's teen dramas going to watch these shows that adults like to watch.

Of course, very few does not mean none.

In fact, in the history of American TV series, there are many TV series that cater to all ages.

The three TV series Yin Jun prepared for Disney are all among them.

The first one is called Baywatch.

Don't get me wrong, this is not the bad movie starring Dwayne "The Rock" Johnson in 2017, although it was adapted from the TV series version of "Baywatch".

The TV series version of "Baywatch" is one of the most popular TV series in the United States. It has been filmed for 11 seasons, and the ratings of each season can be ranked in the top ten in the United States.

What does the beach remind you of?

Sunshine, handsome guys, beauties, hot bodies, thrilling sea sports, various beach games...

Young people like these elements, and half-grown children definitely like them too.

The most important thing is, as you can tell from the name, "Baywatch" is definitely a TV series full of positive energy. Even parents will encourage their children to watch and learn from it.

No matter which country it is in, TV dramas aimed at children must have a correct intention. Otherwise, even if the United States does not have any review system, it will not work well for any TV drama produced by a big name due to complaints from parents.

The second part is called "Dragon and Tiger Boys".

Sound familiar?

correct!

This is the TV series version of "Dragon and Tiger Boys" given to Wu Siyuan by Yin Jun.

The "Baywatch" movie was very good in its previous life, but it's much better than the "Baywatch" movie.

It is also adapted from a highly rated TV series in the United States with the same name, "The Boys".

Although "The Boys" only had 5 seasons, the reason why it was not filmed was purely because the lead actor quit.

The appeal of "Dragon Tiger Boys" to high school students and college students is very huge. I don't know how many young men and women were addicted to this TV series at that time, and of course it also contributed enough viewers to it.

It is worth mentioning that the leading actors in the TV series "Dragon Tiger Boys" are much more famous than the two leading actors in the movie version.

The two leading actors in the movie version combined are not half as famous as the TV series star.

because of him

called

Johnny Depp.

The Captain starred in this TV series in 1987. At that time, he had already met his best friend in life, Tim Burton, and filmed classic movies such as "Edward Scissorhands".

To be able to invite him to a TV series crew, you have to say how hard the crew worked and how much they paid.

It is precisely because of this that "The Boys" received so much attention and ratings - at that time, Johnny Depp was the super idol of young people.

The sixth season of "The Boys" did not continue filming. Naturally, it was because of Johnny Depp's schedule problems, and Johnny Depp, who was suffering from the disease of artistic youth, did not like such noisy "kid stuff". TV series, so he promoted "Dragon Tiger Boys", which disappointed many of his fans.

In this life, Yin Jun was filming "The Boys" and was unable to find Johnny Depp because he was only 18 years old and would not come to Hollywood to work hard until two years later.

But why is there a shortage of handsome men and beautiful women in Hollywood?

As long as a few outstanding young people are found and paired with exquisite scripts, the entire TV series can be set up to make the audience cheer as they did in the previous life.

Even if it cannot reach the status of the previous "Dragon Tiger Boys", it is definitely more than enough to be a TV series in the top ten in annual ratings.

After all, there is such a huge 6-year time difference. In just a few years, it will give people a very trendy sense of freshness and popularity, which will naturally attract them.

The previous two TV series, "Baywatch" and "The Boys", are definitely first-class dramas, but they pale in comparison to the third TV series produced by Yin Jun.

The name of this TV series is

"Happy Hotel".

The English name is "Cheers", so it is also translated as "Cheers" in the mainland.

"Happy Hotel" was the flagship drama of the entire 1980s after the end of the super-drama "Dr. Fux x Nurse". It was filmed for a total of 11 seasons, and its ratings were second only to "Dr. Feng x Nurse". It is definitely the best. A super drama.

And its sequel "Happy Family" also has 11 seasons and is also a famous super drama in the history of American TV series.

In fact, it is said that it is an original work and a sequel. In fact, many people think that it just changed the name. Many Americans directly regard this TV series as one and think that it is a super drama with a total of 22 seasons.

A TV series can span 22 years and have a total of 22 seasons. It goes without saying how powerful it is, right?

If you still can't get over how awesome they are, then we can come up with another TV show.

Mainland China's famous super drama - "Love Apartment".

This TV series obviously borrows too many elements from "Happy Hotel" and "Happy Family", and was even criticized by many foreign netizens as "plagiarism from Chi Guoguo."

Do you understand now?

Even the high imitation "Love Apartment" can be so popular, you can imagine how excellent it is.

Putting such a supernatural drama on the Disney TV Channel is really a waste for Yin Jun. It should be broadcast on ABC.

But ABC is not owned by Yin Jun, nor is it owned by Disney. Giving it to ABC is siding with the enemy.

Another point is that "Happy Hotel" is actually more suitable for audiences of all ages. It is really a waste to only watch it for children aged 8-18.

But there is no other way. "Happy Hotel" will start airing around October next year in its previous life. If Yin Jun doesn't hurry up, wouldn't it mean that others will get an advantage?

Although Yin Jun had registered the copyright for the outlines of these scripts one after another as early as 1979, and there were postmarks from various countries as proof, it was always a bit troublesome to talk about it.

In this case, just use it as early as possible. Anyway, there are still many classic dramas!
