Chapter 15 The Script
Tian Xiaopeng is not a plane son like Zhang Junsheng, and he comes with a BGM...
He has real skills!
After graduation, he went straight to Pixar, stayed up for two years, and then personally participated in projects such as "Toy Story 2", "Superman Story", etc. Whether it is technology or vision, he knows a little!
He knows the current situation in Hollywood much more thoroughly than Zhang Junsheng, a half-baked time traveler.
The current situation is that Warner Bros. ranks first, and the others have to kneel down, especially Disney!
Although "Pirates of the Caribbean: The Curse of the Black Pearl", their most proud anime projects have been completely suppressed!
DreamWorks released "Monster Shrek", Blue Sky Studio has "Ice Age", plus the arrogant Pixar...
Disney, which relies on Mickey Mouse and Donald Duck, has lost anime movies...
Disney is even in a merger and acquisition crisis - Comcast Group has made a $54 billion acquisition offer to Disney!
What made Disney even more complained was that the 45th animated feature film "The Ranch Is My Home" released last year suffered a heavy blow, with a production cost of up to US$110 million and a box office of only more than US$50 million. The global box office was not even enough to make ends meet;
The production cost of the live-action movie "The Legend of the Border Town Heroes" is nearly US$110 million, and the total global box office is less than US$26 million...
They can't afford to lose!
Tian Xiaopeng thinks this is an opportunity!
He devoted all his energy to negotiations with Disney.
Warner Brothers are rich, but they now have the Little Wizard series in hand, so they are not in a hurry to start a new project!
Disney's new CEO Robert Eiger is particularly clear that if you want to restart Disney's glory, the key to pay attention to the animation department!
Acquisition of Pixar is imperative, so Tian Xiaopeng, a former Pixar executive, naturally received his attention!
Tian Xiaopeng detailed the creative source and world of "Kung Fu Panda" and the story structure. Of course, he also took out the five-minute video. In order to increase persuasion, he also took out the documentary "Going Daily Cute" specially prepared by Zhang Junsheng.
Then, Robert Eiger and Andrew Milstein said they would take a look—this is a normal operation, after all, this is an investment involving a $100 million investment!
...
After listening to the report, Zhang Junsheng rubbed his head, which was still a little swollen: "How much do you feel are they sincere?"
"This is not clear, but Hollywood generally conducts a research cycle for an anime work for three months..."
Three months?
Zhang Junsheng frowned.
Three months, it's been a bit long...
"In this way, I'll go back to write a variety show and several dramas to the creative side of the Disney side... This time I asked Fatty Zai to talk to them, where is Fatty Zai?"
"He is in the next room...it should be quite busy..."
"What are you busy with?"
"Well... spread the harmonious friendship between China and the United States... It's rare to come to the United States..."
Tian Xiaopeng stammered and explained.
Damn, you, a fat man, aren't you afraid of losing face as a Chinese man?
"…Let him not spend money randomly... Forget it, let him not mess around, remember to wear condoms!"
I originally wanted to say that I should not seek reimbursement for this kind of money...
Then I thought, a Chinese man who came to the United States and didn’t find a try on the ocean horse, and I felt a little sorry for myself...
Be careful!
After all, the United States is a place with AIDS-prone area.
...
Professional black fans must have something real!
If you hack domestic dramas, you must find a basis. The blind Ji Ba Hei is easily misunderstood as a navy army!
For example, if you want to watch "The White Night Chase" at least, you need to watch "True Detective", "Serious Crime Team", "Crime Scene" and so on, then compare and point out the shortcomings, and conclude that "The White Night Chase" is just that, not worth 9.0 points...
It is necessary to sing the opposite tune when the whole nation is sought after. This is the right thing a black fan should do - he earned 8,000 yuan in that single!
You have to watch "Yuzui", "Prison Break", "Prison Storm"?
As you watch, you will think that American dramas are really interesting, and domestic dramas are incomparable...
It’s a normal thing. When you come into contact with American and Japanese dramas, you will think that domestic dramas are really trash!
Different countries have different focus!
American dramas, criminal investigation dramas are about solving cases. The plot mainly focuses on how the police are dedicated, the criminals are cruel, and how the process of solving cases is tortuous;
Law dramas are about law, and the plot is about how lawyers are dedicated and how to strive for benefits to clients;
Medical dramas are about medical treatment, focusing on the work of doctors, trying their best to cure diseases and save people;
Japanese dramas like to add some descriptions of human nature, such as criminal investigation dramas, which use cases to express the darkness of society and expose the ugliness of human nature;
Legal dramas use cases to express the darkness of society and the ugliness of human nature
Medical dramas simply borrow doctor-patient disputes, internal conflicts in hospitals, etc. to express the darkness of society and the eternal theme: the ugliness of human nature
Domestic dramas have one theme: falling in love!
Criminal Investigation Drama: The Love Story of Police
Lawyer Drama: The Love Story of Lawyers
Medical dramas are the love story of doctors...
By the way, there are also standard features: both men and women with bad taste...
Love has become an eternal theme, and it is normal for any film and television drama to have a love scene!
But as a professional drama, you cannot just focus on love dramas and make a lot of ridiculous mistakes. Then, love dramas are extremely clichés...
Even the heroines of the Anti-Japanese War drama were dressed well, and the female soldiers in the drama all worked hard on their eye makeup. Their eyelashes flashed and they were comparable to idol dramas, and some even had eyeliners - they wandered on the line of life and death every day, and they still had time to put on makeup for themselves?
Zhang Junsheng didn't want to copy American dramas at first. After all, although he watched a lot of them, there were only a few that were deeply memorable, and most of them could only recall the plot outline...
But these are enough!
The creation model of American dramas is different from that of domestic dramas. They have a chief screenwriter responsible for controlling the overall direction, and the script will be hired to write professional screenwriters...
That night, Zhang Junsheng created the plot outlines of two TV series and their first two episodes of scripts - "The Big Bang Them" and "Prison Breakthrough"...
After writing it, I only read it for three o'clock, so I copied another variety show project for "America's Got Talent" and also did the plans for "America Supermodel Contest" and "The Voice of America".
In fact, the variety show planning is similar. "America's Got Talent" and "The Voice of America" are just different focuses...
As for "American Supermodel Contest", Americans just like supermodels, from big stars to just know how to leave...
Chandler and Joey in "Friends" are familiar with all supermodels, including Rose!
I searched online and found that the most popular variety shows in the United States are "Survivor" and a bunch of talk shows. It is not yet time for talent shows to take over variety shows...
ABC TV, also known as Disney's TV station, is still doing "Who Can Be a Millionaire"...
The show's ratings hit a record low last year and it was already underpaid…
After completing these tasks, he compressed everything into a file package, and sent it to Tian Xiaopeng, and asked him to translate it into English and then use it to negotiate terms with Disney. As for the more the price, the better, he gave a friendly reference price - FOX spent $67 million when purchasing the copyright of "American Idol"...
