Chapter 456 The Filming Plan of the TV Station
Of course, Donna Lande still has to give her face. She withdrew her hand calmly and motioned for the two to sit casually. After drinking the black tea brought by Susu, her stomach was warm, and she raised her legs and asked, "Mark, I don't know what the CW's next plan is."
The acquisition of the CW TV station did not take too much energy, everything was handled by Richard Durbin behind the scenes, and New Era Media only needed to do a good job in the handover.
Although the headquarters of CW TV station is in New York, in fact, the program production center is in Burbank, Los Angeles, and the New York headquarters only plays an administrative role, which saves a lot of effort. Bank, it is convenient for Donna Round to manage directly through New Era Films in Los Angeles, while only the office will be left in New York and moved to 7Bryantpark Building. The original headquarters building will be treated as the company's fixed assets, whether to sell or lease will be discussed separately .
Speaking of work, Mark Pedewitz finally found some courage and confidence, and began to report to Yang Cheng, "Boss, after the TV station accepts the capital injection from the head office, in addition to repaying the debt, part of the funds will be used to replace equipment. About 100 million US dollars of funds will be used for the production of new TV series. Our plan is as follows:
First, it is also our most important project, "Legends of Tomorrow", a spin-off of "Arrow" and "The Flash", and now Marvel movies are raging all over the world. Big comic movies and comic TV series are the most anticipated by young people today Yes, there is also a basic guarantee of ratings. I think we should strengthen our cooperation with DC Comics and further develop a series of superhero dramas.
If the effect is good, DC superheroes can be called together like the Marvel Universe. "Legends of Tomorrow" is an experiment for us. Generally, "The Flash" and others fight alone. This time it is not easy, no matter the good guys The villains, all unite to form the superhero "Legends of Tomorrow" to fight against the immortal Wanda the Savage.
According to the plan we discussed with DC, the characters in "Legends of Tomorrow" include Atom, Captain Freeze, Heat Wave, Firestorm (Doctor), Hawk Girl, Time Hunter and White Canary.
This project was established before CW was acquired, and a trial trailer has already been produced, please boss take a look. "
Mark Pedewitz took out the ipad, called up the saved video and handed it to Yang Cheng.
Yang Cheng didn't speak, but concentrated on watching the 30-second trailer. Just after hearing Mark's introduction, he felt very novel and cool. In addition, the trailer showed passionate conscription, cool fights through time, good people and The majestic setting of bad guys working together to protect the world is indeed very exciting, but Yang Cheng is a little hesitant, because young Americans are just now willing to discuss Marvel, Iron Man, Hulk, Black Widow, DC's Superman and Batman have already It has become yesterday's yellow flower, and there is nothing left except feelings. Will anyone be willing to pay for a subscription when it is made into a TV series?
However, he didn't discourage Mark Pedewitz's enthusiasm, and he didn't comment on the quality of the trailer. He just smiled lightly and signaled Mark to continue.
Mark was a little apprehensive, not sure about Yang Cheng's context, and cast a veiled look at Donna Lande for help, but Yang Cheng caught him straight and reminded him, "Finish your plan first, and I will join you later." review."
"It's the boss. According to our original plan, we must continue to innovate while maintaining the basic market through popular dramas, so we held a meeting to study and decided to launch the musical "Crazy Ex-Girlfriend".
Who hasn't loved a few scumbags when they were young, but who can make sure that the girl you love never grabs a horse?
The heroine of this play is in a serious mood when she catches a horse. After ten years, she meets her ex-boyfriend again. Boyfriend compound. "
While introducing the plot, Mark called up the trailer for Yang Cheng to enjoy.
Music passages appear in the trailer,
The heroine's retro clothes are matched with the crowd dancing, which has a Broadway flavor.
Generally speaking, the survival rate of musicals is relatively low, and the core of the story of this drama is to catch a horse's ex-girlfriend desperately looking for true love, "I don't know if I can attract enough bloody soap opera lovers", Yang Cheng thought so .
Mark didn't dare to look at Yang Cheng's face now, he just wanted to complete the report as quickly as possible, and then he was left to his fate whether he died or lived.
Another new drama "Nowhere to Escape" seems a little heavy. Judging from the information given in the trailer, it is undoubtedly a "doomsday theme".
An unknown virus suddenly broke out in Atlanta, USA, and all patients died within 48 hours. People were wary of "shaking hands", as if they could be infected by direct contact with the source of the disease. The government urgently deployed isolation measures. Barbed wire grids were erected in urban areas. Numerous people who were infected or suspected to be infected were isolated, including pregnant women who were eight months pregnant, young children, and the elderly.
The trailer does not give hints on how to eradicate the virus. It is more of a group drama with an emotional atmosphere. The overall plot looks similar to Steven Soderbergh's 2011 film "Contagion".
Yang Cheng put down his tablet computer and looked at Mark Pedewitz with a terrified expression on his face. To be honest, so far, Mark has not come up with any plan that really catches Yang Cheng's eyes. The gimmicks are not loud enough, and the themes are all bad jokes of other TV stations. There is nothing new at all. How can it attract viewers? Make viewers willing to pay money to watch?
He finds it difficult, these three dramas are neither good nor bad, they are very mediocre, and it is not a big problem to keep the current viewership and subscription groups, but if he wants to rely on these three dramas to overthrow the city, from other TV stations It is almost impossible to divert the audience.
Donna Lande also knows that she is a professional. Although she is more focused on making movies, she still has a basic level of appreciation. The quality of a movie determines whether it will be a big hit after it is released. The TV series are also similar. These three dramas are really hard to do. The flag role of the TV station after the re-launch, Yang Cheng did not yell at her to give her face, how dare she speak up for Mark Pedewitz?
After a long while, Yang Cheng sighed. He has been very busy recently, and he has no time to think about the excellent American dramas he watched in his previous life. It seems that this matter has to be put on the agenda, and the status quo can be changed as soon as possible. The purpose of the net, otherwise he lost his wife and lost his army, and made a wedding dress for the donkey party in vain.
"I remember that "The Vampire Diaries" has always been one of the signatures of the CW TV station? Why didn't you mention this show?" ()
