Chapter 479: American drama negotiation

After the accident, Sam-Ryder felt a little angry and a little embarrassed. He just had so much, and Evan-Bell was listening to cross talk. However, although his heart was tumbling, Sam-Ryder was not a novice. He couldn't see anything strange on his expression, but with a gentle smile, he said, "I didn't expect to have an idea of ​​my own, but I'm sure of this idea. Is it mature? Competition may lead to the failure of both, and it may also trigger a more intense chemical reaction." Sam-Ryder can't give up so easily, he is still working hard.

Evan-Bell but smiled. It is impossible to win-win in the competition of talent shows, because there are too many overlapping parts of the audience, and even if there are many changes in the form, it is still "draft" in essence. This is definitely a direct dialogue between life and death. Evan-Bell thought of the situation of "American Idol", "Factor" and "***" in 2011, and the result was that "***" won and lost "Factor" failed to meet the expectations of "American Idol" The results have dropped significantly. In fact, except for the "***" that created certain topics and achievements, none of the three can reach the heights imagined.

Sam Ryder has to serve Evan Bell, which is an almost impossible task. Therefore, Evan Bell did not answer Sam-Ryder this time, but changed the topic "Sam, in fact, I would like to meet with you today, to find cooperation on another project to see if you are interested." Sam-Ryder Stunned, Evan-Bell directly bypassed the topic of "factors". Evan-Bell didn't even give BS a chance to make an offer. It seemed that he was determined not to agree. However, before Sam-Ryder had time to digest the news or sigh regretfully, his attention was drawn by Evan-Bell's second sentence, "Another project?" Sam-Ryder's words slowed down. , is giving yourself more time to react.

It has been two years since Evan-Bell debuted, and his experience can no longer be regarded as a secret. Currently, there are two projects directly related to Evan-Bell: digital music commercialization and talent shows. As a member of the entertainment industry, how could Sam Reid not know the huge benefits. At this time, I heard that Evan Bell's "another project" Sam Ryder made the common problem of smart people - thinking too complicated. In the space of a sentence, Sam-Ryder had already made countless guesses in his mind.

Evan-Bell didn't give Sam-Ryder much time to think about it, and answered directly, "Yes, another project. I have a very good script on hand, and it has entered the stage of preparation. I don't know if BS is in the stage of preparation. Interested?" "Script? Yes, TV series? ..., Sam Reid was stunned, this project has nothing to do with what he expected.

On Sam Ryder's old-fashioned face, there was a flaw in his expression at this time, and his surprise was directly revealed. Evan Bell seemed to be able to understand Sam Reid's astonishment at this time, but he didn't care, his purpose was to talk about the "Navy Criminal Investigation Service".

"As far as I know, BS has occupied a great advantage in crime dramas in the past two years, but the script I have in hand is an innovative form of crime drama." Evan-Bell replied with a smile.

Filming a TV series can be simply divided into two ways. The first is television investment,

The TV station sets up a crew, shoots, and then broadcasts it on the TV station. This is also a relatively common method: the second is to outsource the shooting. Simply put, the production company shoots and produces, and then negotiates with the TV station and broadcasts it on the TV station. Of course, in this process, the relationship between TV stations and outsourced production companies is not so simple and can be defined, and there are many forms.

However, the only thing that is certain is that the lifespan of a TV series is still in the hands of the TV station, and the standard of face evaluation is naturally the ratings first.

This time, the production of "Naval Criminal Investigative Service" by Eleven Studio is obviously the second type, outsourcing the shooting, and the Eleven Studio will conduct the shooting and production, and then seek the cooperation of TV stations for broadcast. However, Evan Bell has a very clear understanding of the current level of Eleven Studio. To shoot an independent film with the cost of "Deadly Identity", Eleven Studio can still cope with it, but it needs to shoot a long-term project such as a TV series. , Studio Eleven is still too naive. Therefore, if possible, he still hopes that the cooperative TV station can give some help. For example, the chief screenwriter is Sean Bonan of Eleven Studio, but in terms of regular screenwriting, the TV station can support some people. The success of American TV series has always been the result of the cooperation of screenwriters. A large TV series has more than a dozen people. Screenwriting is not uncommon: another example is the shooting location, location and other issues, if there is no studio in the eleventh studio for the time being, a TV station can come forward to solve it.

Of course, the most important positions of TV dramas, such as the decisive positions of executive producer and chief screenwriter, still have to be in the hands of Eleven Studios.

Although Sam-Ryder came to Evan-Bell today for the "factor", he didn't expect to be involved in a TV series. However, if the TV series is really a good work, Sam-Ryder will naturally not refuse. As a producer, you have to have a work in progress, and you have to take a cut and earn income. A TV drama with a successful ratings is absolutely inestimable. The potential of "American Idol" in advertising is also true of TV dramas.

It is clear at a glance with the simplest data. In the list of the most profitable TV programs in 2011, the advertising revenue of every 30 minutes of TV programs was calculated. Two and a half (T", "Grey's Anatomy (", "Desperate Lord fù (D

..., "The Big Bang (T"), "Modern Family (", etc. all have incomes of more than 2 million. "So "American Idol" can make money because of its high popularity, in other words, its ratings Excellent: Other TV shows make money as long as they have good ratings.

After listening to Evan Bell's description of "NCIS", Sam Ryder was indeed a little surprised. Although now is the era of "crime scene investigation...", the United States has always had an excellent tradition of crime detective dramas. After entering the 21st century, "crime scene investigation" has once again led to this trend, and it has come out on top. However, TV dramas similar to "NCIS" based on characters have always had a market. It's just this type of TV series. , It takes time to cultivate, as long as the ratings of the first and second seasons can persist, it is bound to attract more and more loyal audiences and achieve success.

Among the three major commercial TV stations in the United States, each TV station has its own style and policy. Sam Reid's BS TV station, because of the "crime scene tune", does have an extraordinary reputation in crime detective dramas. resource. Sam Ryder was quick to make his own verdict "NCIS . . . is indeed an excellent play and worth the investment.

With a preliminary judgment, Sam-Ryder quickly discussed with Evan-Bell from a professional point of view. Similar to the situation in the previous negotiation "factors...", the understanding of a TV program project must be verified in all aspects, including consideration from the standpoint of TV broadcast. For example, after the "Navy Criminal Investigation Service" landed on BS TV, it was What time period and which TV series will be broadcast later, what promotion strategy should be formulated to target what audience, how many episodes are scheduled for the first season, whether to pre-order 12 episodes for the pilot broadcast or just one season, then whether a season is 22 episodes or 24 episodes... … these are all things to discuss.

The most important thing is that Sam Reid not only has to discuss "Hai Qian CSI" itself, but also needs to consider BS TV's broadcast plan for the next year, and consider the strategic position of this show in BS TV's broadcast plan.... In order to formulate the contract of the "Navy Criminal Investigation Department", including signing a contract for several years, how much it will cost, and so on.

The TV system is much more complicated than the electric nose because it involves the TV and the long copying time. But no matter how complicated it is, in the final analysis, it is the "interest" that can be summed up in one word. Just like movies are calculated by box office, TV dramas are measured by ratings. In the commercial field, it is an eternal truth.

The progress of things was much smoother than Evan Bell imagined~www.wuxiaspot.com~ Like the historical track, BS TV always has a keen tentacle for crime detective dramas. "Opening up the situation, and then backed by the "Navy Criminal Investigation Service", before Evan Bell was reborn, there was a flood of crime detective dramas in the United States, but the leading position of BS has not been shaken.

After the initial communication between Sam-Ryder and Evan-Bell, they did not negotiate a specific contract. Both parties must go back to discuss it again and reach a conclusion at the second meeting. If necessary, Eleven Studio still needs to shoot the pilot episode, and use the most direct finished product to serve the high-level executives who really have the right to decide on BS TV, and serve them to pay!

Things went very smoothly. Although there was no consensus on the "factors", the "NCIS" was successfully moved to the production process. After Sam Reid left, representatives of B and NB TV arrived at No. 10 King Street and had an in-depth conversation with Evan Bell.

Even if Evan Bell does not plan to bring "factor" to the United States for the time being, everyone knows a truth: multiple friends have multiple paths, especially in the entertainment industry. So, everyone talked happily.

After the work was finally over, Evan-Bell returned home in the evening, and lay on the bed and fell asleep directly.
