Great Artist

Life is always full of surprises. Evan Bell came to Europe this time, originally just to shoot the movie "True Love Matters", but so many things happened, and his footprints also left traces everywhere on the Europa continent. The accompaniment band got off to a good start: I participated in the Paris Fashion Week, and I got a head start on Eleven Design's branch of the brand: now I met Paul Haggis at the Berlin Film Festival, and I got the "Crash". An Oscar-worthy movie...

In fact, Evan Bell's gains in Europe are far more than that. The 53rd Berlin Film Festival has come to an end, the British film "Between the World", which reflects the life of Afghan refugees, unexpectedly won the Golden Bear for Best Film, while the Silver Bear Award of the jury was won by "Adapted Screenplay". The three heroines of "The Moment" won the Silver Bear Award for Best Actress together, and the Silver Bear Award for Best Actor was won by George Clooney's directorial debut "Confessions of a Dangerous Mind", the leading actor Sam Rockwell. have to.

At the end of the film festival, the "adapted screenplay" that won the Silver Bear Award in the ratings of professionals, reporters and audiences, behind the nose surpassed "every moment" and "hero" and became the highest rated at this Berlin Film Festival. 's video.

Surprisingly, in the selection of the most popular actors, including professionals, reporters,

In the voting of the audience and the organizing committee, among the big names such as Leonardo DiCaprio, George Clooney, Nicole Kidman, etc., Evan Bell stood out, beat the stars, and won the award. Highest support rate. It is worth mentioning that in the part of foreign reporters, Evan-Bell's approval rate is as high as 30%, which is favored by one-third of the reporters.

During a trip to Berlin, although there were no golden bears and silver bears in the account, Evan-Bell's outstanding performance in the "adapted script", his eloquence, superior language skills, and personable temperament in the face of reporters, Successfully won the welcome of European journalists. For Evan Bell, this debut on the world stage can be described as "a lot of harvest".

After the Berlin Film Festival ended, Evan Bell did not go back to Los Angeles directly, because he stumbled on something in Germany, and said goodbye to his friends Leonardo DiCaprio and Paul Haggis. Going back first, Evan-Bell and Eden-Hudson stayed alone again to continue the busy trip to Europe.

Fremantle Media's branch in Berlin, Germany, has similarities and differences with Evan Bell's imagination. Fremantle Media, a company that started out producing TV variety shows, didn't turn a third of a building into a soundstage like Oprah's Happ Entertainment Group did. The Berlin branch is just an ordinary office on the first floor. The spacious and bright office floor has the style of a large company, but it does not have the appearance of a program production company. It is more like an advertising company. However, the transparent conference rooms are full of televisions, projectors and other machines, and the writing board is also full of various ideas, which is a bit like.

Although Fremantle Media is a subsidiary of the German Bertelsmann Group, its headquarters is in London, England. In London, Fremantle Media has its own video building, fully equipped, not much different from a TV station. The office here in Berlin is just a branch office.

Eden-Hudson is conversing skillfully with the receptionist, and he is fluent in German without any communication barriers: Eden-Hudson is Evan Bell's German and French teacher, and his language skills have absolutely no problems. "Evan." Eden-Hudson shouted back, and Evan-Bell quickly followed and walked into the Berlin branch of Fremantle Media.

Sitting in the conference room with frosted glass on all sides, Evan Bell looked at the countless ideas left by the black carbon pen on the glass, feeling very fresh. Evan Bell has always thought that being a creative person is a wonderful job, relying on the collision of ideas to come up with amazing ideas.

While they were looking at it, someone entered the conference room. Evan Bell and Eden Hudson both stood up. Today is a man and a woman. The woman with black hair tied into a bun and with gold-rimmed glasses stretched out her right hand, "Mr. Bell, when we first met, I am the project director of the planning department, Maria Cotter. This is My assistant, Lucas-Marcos."

"Evan-Bell. This is my legal counsel Eden-Hudson." Evan-Bell also introduced with a smile.

The two sides sat down opposite the table in the white square. Although Evan-Bell and Fremantle Media have been working together for more than a year, apart from Deborah-Johnson and Nigel-Leggers, He had never met any other member of Fremantle Media. Today's meeting is more like a meeting two years late.

"Currently, I'm in charge of the European part of the "Pop Idol" talent show series. "Maria-Cott's brief self-introduction made her responsibilities clear. Now "Pop Idol" is being produced and broadcasted in 33 countries around the world. Naturally, it is impossible to have only one person in charge, but to be divided according to regions. Maria Kurt is responsible for the European part. "This time I will contact Mr. Bell, mainly because there are some problems with the operation of the program in the UK, and I hope to find a solution. It happens that Mr. Bell is also in Europe, so face-to-face talks are naturally the best. ""Is there a problem with the operation? "Evan Bell raised his eyebrows. "Pop Idol" is only entering its second year in the UK, and there is still a month before the finale of the second season. There is a problem?

"After creating the brilliance of the first season's ratings, the talent show has been implemented very smoothly in the world, but in the UK, it seems to be facing some problems." Maria Yike nodded and affirmed the message she just conveyed. Evan-Bell did not speak any more, but motioned for Maria-Cotter to continue.

Maria-Kotte didn't take it lightly at all. As a "pop idol" responsible in Europe, Maria-Kotte was very aware of how outrageous the young people in front of her were. Not only did he create the talent show, but he was also negotiating a "pop icon" to set foot in the U.S. market, fighting back against the Fremantle media that tried to look down on him because of his youth. Although Maria-Cotter did not participate in the negotiation, the contract signed in the end clearly proved that the young man in front of him was the object of absolute attention.

Therefore, Maria-Cotter cut into the subject as soon as she came up, and did not hide the fact that the Fremantle media was in trouble, and raised the issue generously.

There is more than one problem facing "pop icons" in the UK.

On the one hand, "Pop Idol" is having a bit of a problem with ITV ratings. After all, the United Kingdom is different from the United States. The United Kingdom has a population of 60 million, while the United States has a population of 300 million. The age of "pop idols" is defined as 16 to 27 years old, which has led to a significant restriction on who can participate in the competition. "American Idol" can be done for ten years, because "pop idols" with this population base cannot last long in the UK. This is an inevitable trend.

On the other hand, the famous manager and producer Simeng-Fowler is trying to innovate the show, create a new program format, and then cooperate with other production companies to try to squeeze out Evan Bell and Fremantle. Media, opening up a new draft dynasty in the British Isles.

Originally, Evan-Bell thought that the copyright of his slot was firmly in his hands, and he would avoid the mistakes of his previous life, but he never thought that it would be inevitable in the end.

In the last life, Xi méng-Cowell had a disagreement with Xi méng-Fowler, Xi méng Cowell thought his income was too low, so he came up with a new program format "x factor" and then looked for another production company, and finally caught it. "Pop Idol" has an opportunity to move in the ratings, replacing "Pop Idol" as the only talent show on the British Isles.

After that, West méng-Cowell and West méng-Fowler went to court, because West méng-Fowler believed that although West méng-Cowell changed the format of the show, it still infringed the copyright of "pop idol". In the end, Simméng Cowell won, but at the cost of not being allowed to land in the U.S. market until 2011 by the "x-factor".

In order to avoid this situation, Simeng Fowler has also tightened its grip on the US market.

This formed the ten-year hegemony of "American Idol". Afterwards, in 2011, Siméng-Cowell left "American Idol" to bring "Factor" to the United States, in addition to that "**" was also broadcast in 2011, which strongly challenged the dominance of "American Idol" .

This is the trajectory of the previous life~www.wuxiaspot.com~ I never thought that in this lifetime, although the trajectory has undergone slight changes, the general development direction is still the same. Ximéngyi Cowell, who has nothing to do with copyright, is settled, but after getting the contract of the top ten "pop idol" players from Fengyi Studio, Ximengyi Fowler, who has tasted the sweetness, is moved. dàng get up.

In fact, although Evan Bell originally thought that this would not happen in his life, he still made preparations with Eden Hudson. When the first season of "Pop Idol" ended last year, he put the Various draft modes including "factor" and "**" have registered intellectual property rights and are firmly in their own hands. It is almost impossible for Ximeng-Fowler to break through.

But it is impossible to do nothing now. The decline in ratings and the challenge of Simeng-Fowler are the inevitable situations that the talent show will face if it continues to be implemented in the UK. Even if there is no West Méng-Fowler, there will be other capable people who have discovered the movement of the British market and come to share the cake. Fortunately, Evan Bell has already had a draft.

"I think we can make a plan for the program's innovation ahead of time and start negotiations with ITV immediately." After listening to Maria-Cott's narration, Evan Bell did not seem to be troubled at all, but he was confident. ōng expressed confidence, which surprised Maria-Cotter. ! .
