Chapter 978(1/2)

Americans are very efficient at doing things, especially lunatics like Reed.

Unfortunately, David Finch and Kevin Spacey are also like this.

These crazy guys gather together, and the result is conceivable.

"House of Cards" only took ten days from the release of the script, to the establishment of the project, and then to the start of filming.

If this were done by traditional media, would you dare to imagine?

David Finch took over the script without saying a word.

This is both for the directing fee of $15 million and three percent of the revenue share, and because the script is really good.

Flix's film and television viewing department is newly established, so it is very simple to operate and does not have so many rules.

Anyway, the production fee of 100 million US dollars is just to create a TV series, which is really enough.

In order to save money, Shi Zhenqiu even specially asked the Korean Assetartist company to produce special effects.

Because after this drama is broadcast, As a shareholder, the Assetartist Company also has to participate in the sharing of accounts.

In this case, it is reasonable to let the assessartist participate in the production.

Anyway, with David Fincher in charge of the shooting, there will definitely be no problems.

"Reed, do we have the only one plan for House of Cards?"

Although Flix's work efficiency is fast enough, Shi Zhenqiu is not very satisfied.

Because he can stay in the United States for not long, and if he wants to come and participate in film and television production, it may take how long.

So Shi Zhenqiu wanted to take advantage of this opportunity to do more work.

After all, no one can't get along with money.

Reed is also a workaholic, but he faces real problems.

"Stone, although I want to blossom in full, but we have no extra money on our books, and we still need to get back and forth after the House of Cards is broadcast."

The online video platform produces its own film and television dramas. What is the prospect? Not to mention the outside world, even the flix company is not so confident.

Therefore, it can be imagined that it is difficult to get any particularly generous advertising contracts during the production of "House of Cards".

Without the sponsorship of advertisers, Flix's only hope is that it will become popular after the TV series is broadcast and rely on clicks and subscriptions to make money.

The result was that at this time, Flix's account was empty and he couldn't afford to do more.

But if Flix has no money, it doesn’t mean Shi Zhenqiu has no money.

In order to acquire shares of Flix, he raised a total of more than $1.2 billion.

In order to acquire, one billion was spent, and Shi Zhenqiu had more than 200 million in his account at this time.

If this money is not spent, it will become moldy.

So Shi Zhenqiu thought about using the Flix platform to do something new.

"Don't worry about the funding issue. It's not a problem to start two TV series at the same time."

When Reed heard that Shi Zhenqiu was going to invest, he was really moved.

"If you are the one who contributes the funds, how should we share the accounts? We have agreed in advance that although there is no money in the Flix account, we can still provide enough staff to complete the shooting."

This is what Shi Zhenqiu wants.

"That's good, our Asian Film and Television Production Alliance is responsible for funding, and Flix is ​​responsible for production and broadcasting. The final account sharing, whether it is the revenue from clicks and subscriptions, or the revenue from advertising sponsorship, is all 50%?"

Reed thought for a while, and finally nodded and recognized Shi Zhenqiu's plan.

He also felt that Flix only produced one TV series, and it was indeed impossible to form an economist.

If you come up with another fine product that is similar to "House of Cards", then no one dares to underestimate FLxi.

Having gained Reed's approval, Shi Zhenqiu no longer delayed it and took advantage of the last little time to start work quickly to produce his second work in Hollywood.

Two days later, he found Reed with the script.

"I need a director and actor in this drama, and Flix needs to come forward. The director is Mark Muschenko, and Flix should have channels to contact. As for the actors, Martina Hill and Mark Benjamin Puch, they are German actors, but it is definitely not difficult to contact."

Reed was stunned when he heard this.

"What kind of drama are you doing? You actually need German actors? Isn't there a suitable one in Hollywood?"

Shi Zhenqiu just smiled and shook his head.

"Reid, you will know if you work with me more in the future. I always look for directors and actors."

Reed became even more curious.

"Can you show me your script?"

Although he had just started working with Shi Zhenqiu, Reed could never help but be curious about Shi Zhenqiu's script.

Because Shi Zhenqiu's scripts are very detailed, even if someone doesn't understand film and television production, after reading his script, he will have a very close plot in his mind.

Obviously, Reed was planning to have a sneak peek.

Shi Zhenqiu was naturally irresistible. He took out the printed script from his bag and handed it directly to Reed.

I couldn't wait to get the script and only saw the title of the drama, Reed's expression became strange.

"knallerfrauen? Wow, what a novel name."

Shi Zhenqiu smiled and said kindly: "I hope you can keep it normal after reading the content."

He had kindly reminded him, but the Flix employees still found that their bosses laughed like fools in the afternoon.

What exactly happened?

Did the company's stock hit the daily limit?

Shi Zhenqiu didn't care whether Reed would become stupid, as long as he could work hard.

Fortunately, Reed's work attitude does not require doubt.

Two days later, Shi Zhenqiu was the first to meet director Mark Mushenko.

This person is incomparable to David Finch. Whether it is fame, status, or difficult situation, Mark Mushenko must take the initiative to seize every opportunity.

He didn't know why Flix came to him to film, and he didn't even know what Flix did.

But for him, who is very difficult to eat, someone asks him to film, and the rewards are still very generous. What if he does so much?

After waiting for him to arrive at Flix, when he saw that the person sitting in front of him was Shi Zhenqiu, Mark Mushenko suddenly felt that he was going to be lucky.

He is different from Reed.

Reed is doing behind the scenes work, and is also the most marginal DVD rental business in the film and television culture industry, so he is not familiar with Shi Zhenqiu.

Mark Mushenko is a director. In addition to his own job, it is also necessary to appreciate other people's works to improve himself.

Unlike the arrogance of the general American people, in order to enrich his artistic and creative nature, the director does not distinguish between nationality in film and television works.

He learned about Shi Zhenqiu through music and learned that he was a very powerful screenwriter in Korea, so he specially found all of Shi Zhenqiu's works to watch.

He really has no choice but to read the outrageous Korean family ethics drama and can't understand it.

But several movies written by Shi Zhenqiu made him realize that the person in front of him was definitely an amazing creator.

I really didn't expect that one day I would be able to cooperate with such an amazing person.

The two sat together and had a lot of common topics.

The poor life did not erode Mark Mushenko's vitality, and kept him optimistic.

Also because of his poor life, he always lives at the bottom, which makes him feel more sympathetic about the plot described in "Knallerfrauen".

During the conversation with Mark Mushenko, Shi Zhenqiu was also unlucky.

Fortunately, I found the original director of "knallerfrauen", otherwise his preparations would not be so smooth.

Another day later, his two designated starring actors, Martina Hill and Mark Benjamin Pach, also rushed over from Germany in turmoil.

For these actors, Hollywood is an even more irresistible holy place.

Martina Hill is a stage actor and has been active in Germany before. Although she is a little famous, she cannot get anything due to the market.

So once she got the call from Hollywood, although it was just a video website, she still came over without hesitation.

She is like this, and Mark Benjamin Pacher also holds the same idea, hoping to realize her dream on a bigger stage.

For the drama "Knallerfrauen", it is enough to have two starring Martina Hill and Mark Benjamin Phuch.

As long as the other actors have good acting skills, they can do it if they are anyone else.

There are not too many such actors in Hollywood. Because it is very convenient to find them, Shi Zhenqiu did not look for them as they did in the original work.

Besides, his scripts have been changed to English, and there are not so many German-speaking actors in Hollywood.

Shi Zhenqiu's time in the United States was limited and he could not afford to delay at all, so he immediately started the production of "knallerfrauen".

Compared with "House of Cards", "knallerfrauen" has no difficulty in production and no special effects cost. It is the most basic sitcom.

Many times, there is not even a line.
