Chapter 1983 A Lot of Dramas
The so-called high degree of restoration is reflected in several aspects. For example, in the script, during the process of reporting the accident, the concealment and false reporting from bottom to top are on the one hand the selfish desire of the subordinates to prioritize personal interests, and on the other hand the government's consideration of maintaining stability. Conventional methods should not be based on the country's social structure. Even capitalist countries will handle it this way. There are many black and white gangsters in Hollywood.
As for the portrayal of people who participated in rescue and clean-up operations as snobs motivated by financial gain, it is even less true.
In the script, whether it was the workers who went deep underground to open the valve of the water tank, the miners who dug tunnels to strengthen the protective layer, or the soldiers who went up to the roof to clean the graphite blocks, a few hundred to a thousand rubles at that time could not bring much improvement to their lives. Risking one's life to participate in rescue operations is more about sacrificing oneself to save more people and avoid the escalation of disasters and pollution. It reflects the brilliance of human nature and the spirit of fearless collectivism.
In two scenes, such as recruiting workers to go deep underground to open valves, and the minister of coal industry leading armed soldiers to negotiate with the foreman of the mine, the reasons why they volunteered are obvious. They are definitely not driven by money or interests, let alone the 60 Wan Qing people are gone.
Once the drama "Chernobyl" is filmed, it will not only allow people who do not understand the accident that year to understand what happened and its impact through the drama, but most importantly, it wants to tell us lies. What consequences will it bring.
It opens and ends with two recorded monologues by Valery Legasov. The first and last sentences are "What is the price of lies?", which cleverly makes the script form a circular structure, echoing from the beginning to the end.
That's why Yang Cheng believes that the script is very complete. Coupled with the advantages of the subject matter and Plepler's strict requirements for production quality, it is difficult for this drama not to be popular. Unfortunately, it is only five episodes, which is too short!
Yang Cheng raised his head and met Plepler's gaze, and couldn't help but say, "This show..."
Plepler seemed to know what he wanted to say, and waved his hand, "As long as you give me investment permission, don't worry about the rest~"
Yang Cheng knew that what he said meant that the investment in the entire drama would not be small.
"Once we decide to make this drama, we must have a high degree of restoration of the nuclear power plants, residential areas, streets, etc. of the time. The sense of age and the creation of the atmosphere will undoubtedly deepen the sense of substitution and immersion. , making people feel creepy just looking at the screen.
In addition, as for the characters, after referring to a large number of related works and historical materials, the costumes and makeup of the characters must be very exquisite, and it is best to achieve a 1:1 fulfillment.
I need the drama "Chernobyl" to be as objective and unbiased as possible and present this accident, which is facing the greatest crisis in human history, before our eyes.
Making mistakes is not the most terrible thing,
Being afraid of the cost of the truth and covering it up with lies one after another is the most deadly. When we tell too many lies, we will gradually lose the ability to distinguish between truth and lies. "
Plepler expressed his deep intention of wanting to make this show, and Yang Cheng nodded almost without thinking, "No problem, how much investment is needed, if the CW TV station is not enough, I will allocate funds from the head office and fully cooperate with your request. "
Plepler breathed a heavy sigh of relief, which was completely opposite to his previous calmness and calmness, "Thank you!"
Yang Cheng found it funny, "What? Do you think I will refuse?"
"Actually, I can understand your rejection. After all, this drama is too realistic and the investment is so huge..."
"But you're bound to be disappointed, right?"
"I don't deny it~"
"Don't worry, as I said before, I don't lack the eyes to discover beauty and the courage to pursue beauty!"
"Now I agree~"
It took less than 10 minutes to finalize a scheduled drama. Yang Cheng was in a good mood. Next to her, Long Ma was anxious. She also wanted to watch it. She felt that this stack of paper was her magic weapon to get to the top!
However, Yang Cheng couldn't take care of him and just kept looking down - "Ekaterina the Great", this is the epic masterpiece planned by Plepler, and even the heroine has been found, Helen Mi Lun, a professional queen, is about to ascend the throne again. This time, she plays the role of Catherine the Great, the longest-reigning empress in the world.
"Catherina the Great" mainly focuses on Catherine's turbulent political life, private inner world and her scandals during her reign.
Directed by "The Crown" producer Philip Martin, this already ensures quality in the production line-up.
But again, this is also a high-investment project. Yang Cheng secretly thought about it and continued reading.
"Fifth Avenue":
In Plepler's plan, this is a comedy to prop up the appearance, or a space comedy. This drama mainly revolves around the ridiculous stories of passengers traveling in space.
Science fiction + comedy, this mixed style is worth looking forward to. The important thing is that the investment is not high, which finally makes Yang Cheng feel less scared.
"outsider":
It tells the story of a murder case that occurred in a small town in the United States. An 11-year-old boy was raped and dismembered.
Through the police investigation, DNA, fingerprints, eyewitness testimony and other evidence all pointed to a teacher who was loved by students and parents.
However, in the face of ironclad evidence, the teacher always insisted that he was innocent. In order to avoid creating an unjust, false and wrong case, JC, who took the lead in handling the case, decided to re-investigate the case.
As a result, he unexpectedly discovered that - with the evidence of eyewitnesses and video recordings, the suspect teacher was not present at all on the day of the crime!
"The Outsider" is adapted from the online series of the same name by "Master of Horror" Stephen King. However, since it has not yet been completed, in order to avoid the embarrassment of Game of Thrones that the whole drama has not yet been written, the plan specifically states: The project will Start production after publishing is complete.
However, Plepler had already negotiated the film and television adaptation rights, and Yang Cheng nodded with satisfaction.
The suspense, horror, and supernatural elements are the biggest highlights of the entire show. This was HBO's specialty in the past, but now it's the CW's turn.
"The Plot Against America":
The specific script has not yet been released, there is only an outline. The screenwriter is David Simon. Anyone familiar with American dramas knows that he is the symbol of divine drama. This time, he personally serves as the screenwriter of "The Plot Against America".
There are not many words in the synopsis, but a few short sentences convey the core of the play: If, in the 1940 U.S. presidential election, Lindbergh, who supported Nazi Germany and hated Jews, defeated Roosevelt, the United States would be What will it become? This is an imaginary history, which somewhat reflects the political situation in the United States today.
Yang Cheng couldn't help pinching his chin, feeling that this drama was on to something!
"I Know This Is True":
Adapted from a best-selling TV series of the same name, it is rich in elements - schizophrenia, sexual assault, family secrets, extramarital affairs, incest... all unexpected and bloody events can be found in this drama.
The biggest attraction of this drama is "The Hulk" Mark Ruffalo, who has to challenge his acting skills by playing two roles, playing a pair of twin brothers with very different personalities.
"Nothing to do":
Also adapted from the film, it mainly tells the story of a woman in the whirlpool of public opinion, how to deal with the disintegration of her family.
According to the plan, Plepler is planning to invite Nicole Kidman to star. The just-released "Big Little Lies" has given her a second career on the small screen, so her new drama should be worth looking forward to, but Yang Cheng feels that , it’s not a bad idea for Long Ma to play this role.
And in the plan, Plepler clearly stated that the actors have not yet sent out invitations, and everything can be changed.
In Long Ma's anxious eyes, she didn't know that Yang Cheng had already found a role for her.
Looking at Plepler's plans, from drama kings to epic masterpieces, to projects covering comedy, science fiction, suspense, drama and other fields, it can be seen that he has a strong commitment to his CW contract period. The desire to work and the ambition to improve, in Yang Cheng's opinion, are much more valuable than the 100 ordinary projects he took out that were neither good nor bad.
It also gave him complete confidence in leaving the TV station in Plepler's hands.
She closed the plan and put it on the table. Long Ma's eyes almost fell into it.
Yang Cheng spread his hands, "What else can I say? Richard, tell me, how much do you need for this plan?"
Plepler was not polite and directly gestured with his palm, "You probably haven't finished reading. There are 12 projects in total. I need 500 million~"
Yang Cheng just pondered for a moment and then said, "The CW TV station's current cash flow is only about 100 million. You should keep it as a guarantee. The head office has paid this budget~"
After Plepler was stunned for a moment, he couldn't help but said, "There is no need to spend 500 million at once. There is a cycle in TV series production. One film after another, the funds can be recycled. If it doesn't work, you can still get a loan from a bank or contact us." Co-produced by outside parties.”
Yang Cheng stretched out his hand and patted the plan a few times, "We will eat these projects alone, and don't share even a single dregs. Do you understand what I mean?"
You don’t have to worry about funding. I said I would give my full support and I will definitely give it my full support. "
For the first time, Plepler had a dispute with his boss over money. He smiled happily but also felt stressed. "Okay, thank you for your trust, but I am serious. The company's existing funds are enough to run these projects." , if you really want to help me relieve my pressure, then allocate 100 million first."
Yang Cheng didn't force him any more. Since Plepler had said so, any further persuasion would be a sign of distrust in his abilities.
"Okay, I'll listen to you, but I only have one request. Amy is my friend. If there is a suitable project, I hope you can consider her~"
Long Ma was startled. She didn't expect Yang Cheng to take care of her so straightforwardly. She was not afraid that Plepler would look at her through colored glasses. After all, this kind of thing was too common in this circle.
And compared to others, Long Ma has very good control over this aspect. At least there has never been any news about sex. Now that they are all sitting on the same boat, they are not afraid of Plepler playing dirty tricks.
