Chapter 1877 The Lioness Joan of Arc

New York.

It seems that most cities in the world can find an adjective to describe, the capital is atmospheric, the magic capital is modern, Paris is romantic, and London is classical. . . But for New York, it seems difficult to use an exact word to describe her.

This city makes people contradictory, just as there is no city in the world like her, which has been destroyed and saved countless times in movies, sung and cursed countless times in songs. Even though a thousand people have a thousand impressions of New York in their hearts, it is undeniable that this place has become a dream place that people all over the world have never been to but feel very familiar with.

May is usually the rainy season in the northern hemisphere, and New York is no exception. Rainy days will affect your mood. In the gloomy sky, there are pigeons flying across the sky. The tall buildings are in the fog, and there are cars everywhere, but the most are yellow taxis.

American flags are hung on many buildings, which gives people a feeling that the patriotism of Americans is stronger. I have to say that the patriotism of Americans does not come from the propaganda of the government and the media, but from their own country. A sense of identity and pride.

Although it was a rainy day, for Ivana who returned home, her mood was not affected at all. In her own words, staying in New York was comfortable, kind, warm and at ease.

As soon as she entered the Long Island Manor, she discussed with the housekeeper Little George who welcomed them back to invite the family to a dinner party, but Andy smiled helplessly with a headache. The mother-in-law and her boyfriend got together, tsk tsk, there was almost never a harmonious atmosphere.

Forget it, Ivana can do whatever she wants.

After Andy said hello, he flew to Manhattan with a group of Martin's bodyguards by helicopter, and began to perform the duty of the Lion King to patrol the territory.

Rockefeller Center, NBC Television Headquarters Conference Room.

Andy sat on the boss chair, patiently listening to Plepler's detailed report. With a series of reforms, the emphasis on American TV dramas and large investment, NBC TV now has both ratings and advertising revenue. Earth-shaking changes.

Once "The Big Bang Theory" aired, it immediately became a phenomenon-level sitcom. Many people compared it with "Friends".

"First of all, I would like to congratulate all the crew members of "The Big Bang Theory". It is indeed indispensable to achieve such excellent results." Andy praised with a satisfied nod and smile.

It's just that the executives of NBC TV station in the conference room didn't express how happy they were, because the group of executives sitting here had already experienced their new boss during the initial period when NBC TV station changed hands. The management style is to praise and affirm first, and then to criticize and correct.

Sure enough, as expected by everyone present, Andy made a "But" turning point, which made everyone prick up their ears and listened carefully to their boss' criticisms.

"To be honest, when I created this play, I didn't think it through enough. This play can be said to be a great success due to the talent of the actors and the subject matter of the scientists. It cannot and does not cover up the creativity of the screenwriter. scarcity.

I've been following this show, and I love it, but its problems are still serious. As far as drama is concerned, a lot of stereotypes are used to create jokes, which is difficult to achieve lasting appeal.

Of course, the responsibility is not with the actors, but with the screenwriter and director. On the contrary, the performance of the actors is precisely the reason for the success of this play. If the screenwriting team can go deeper in conception,

Instead of mistaking the means for the purpose, I think this drama can go further, even farther than Friends! "

It's not Andy's criticism. After all, the achievements of "The Big Bang Theory" are the most proud sitcoms on NBC since the end of "Friends" in recent years, but there is still a long way to go before regaining its dominance. Catch up, after all, in the past few years, the American dramas launched by NBC are indeed a bit lackluster.

Since Andy took over, whether it is "The Big Bang Theory", "The Good Wife" or "Shameless", almost all of them have become popular. Before that, NBC did not launch new dramas, but also launched a lot , but can really be retained, there are not many episodes that were cut off at the end of the first season, they are just throwing money around and trying their luck with their eyes closed.

Andy, the boss, Plepler, the new CEO, and Amanda, the director of the film and television department who has resigned, what they have done is to end NBC's aimless spending of money, take the high-quality line, and scripts that can't pass the test. do not vote.

Speaking of "The Good Wife", the sex bomb Christina Hendricks is also a hit, although the amazing body curve of this over-fermented MAN head grabbed a lot of attention at the beginning, But soon the audience was attracted by her acting skills and plot, and became a woman's idol. I heard that when she was walking outside, she was often stopped by female fans to express her gratitude, "You inspired my life".

Therefore, Kristina teased SAO happily and charmingly on the phone once. To be honest, Andy also misses this sex bomb very much, tsk tsk, it is really hard to put it down!

"Boss, here is the detailed broadcast schedule for all fall episodes, which will be announced on the 19th. After that, we will officially compete with ABC, Fox Television, and CBS for about 9 billion US dollars in advertising revenue. ..."

Andy was pulled back by Plepler's scattered thoughts, reached out to take the document he handed over, browsed it quickly, and then was speechless, looked at Plepler suspiciously and asked: "You Are you sure? Are you kidding me?"

Plepler was a little appalled by his boss, but he still reported helplessly: "Boss, I have read the scripts of these dramas. Although they are not high-quality goods, they still have merits..."

"Hehe, the story of a single woman who has to answer 100 matching questions when she joins a dating site, a story about all kinds of interesting things that happened in a fictional community college, 2 medical dramas, and an adaptation..."

Andy looked at Plepler with sharp eyes, and said with a smile that seemed to be mocking, but the next moment his face became cold, "Better lack than excess! This is my request from beginning to end. This kind of drama, Even if we can earn some advertising fees, once it hits the street, it will consume our reputation, I believe you know better than me, give me a reason!"

"Boss, NBC is not a cable TV station, we have to match some of these shows." Plepler explained with a wry smile.

The corner of Andy's mouth twitched. Well, the reason why he was angry was because he had never watched or heard the names of the six American dramas on the list. After hearing Plepler's explanation, he also understood. After all, NBC is not a paid TV station. If it is full of high-quality American dramas, it can indeed increase the ratings, but it may not be able to break even.

However, it is related to the recovery of NBC TV station, he still will not agree to this plan, so he shook his head and said: "This plan is definitely not good, let's re-select the episodes of the autumn file, you are responsible for it yourself, don't think about any balance, what I want is high-quality goods , must be a boutique!"

"Hey, once you leave the job, the work in the film and television department will not satisfy me immediately, everyone is timid..."

"hiss--"

Feeling the pain from his shoulders, and seeing the teeth marks that were almost bleeding from the bite, Andy's face changed several times, and finally he couldn't help but look at Amanda, who had a happy smile on her face and a sly light in her eyes.

"Okay, I've scratched and scratched, now it's time to calm down?"

"Hmph! Damn bastard, you really think of me as your lioness! I won't let you go! Immediately, sisters are not full yet..."

Andy stretched out his hands to cover his cheeks, which he couldn't laugh or cry with. For Amanda, who turned into Joan of Arc and slashed and killed him as soon as they met, he felt guilty and tried his best to make her feel happy. But, look Come on, she is not crazy enough today, she will never give up.

. . . . . .

At 12 noon on May 11, Joan of Arc rode a white horse, held a sword, and entered the castle under the guidance of the military flag. The whole castle boiled, and the torch light welcoming the "Saint Commander-in-Chief" was everywhere in the city.

Joan of Arc finally stepped onto the stage that belonged to her, and swung her sword in all directions.

As soon as the enemy appeared, he dealt a serious fatal blow to Joan, and then he was redeemed by Joan's words. Joan of Arc said to him, "Thank you, I am really happy to meet you."
