Coquettish Rebirth

"It's not too much trouble..." Katzenberg thought for a while, and then began to educate Jia Hongjian. "In our US market, production and broadcasting are basically separated and self-made programs are mixed. Generally speaking, although there are relevant regulations that limit the number of self-made programs broadcast by commercial TV stations in the United States to no more than 15%, the problem is that this self-made program is only limited. The TV stations produced their own products, but did not limit the products produced by their parent companies or subsidiaries as self-made products. And the six major production companies that happen to produce TV programs are basically inextricably linked with the six major TV stations— —Warner Bros., Paramount, 20th Century Fox, Sony Columbia, Disney and Universal These are the six major production companies. They not only make movies, but also make American TV series. Then Warner Bros. has its own wb TV network, and Paramount has upn Television network, 20th Century Fox has Fox Television Network, although Sony Columbia does not have a share in CBS, but the film company Sony Columbia is originally owned by CBS Group, so the relationship between the two parties is very good, Disney owns ABC Television Network, except that the shareholder of NBC is Ge In addition, you see that big film companies are always related to TV networks, so in the end, a large number of programs produced by affiliated companies appeared on American TV networks, and the relatively weird one is Warner..."

Having said this, Katzenberg paused, "Warner Bros. Pictures has strong production capabilities, but their TV network is not strong. Their TV network was established in 95, and their own TV network It is also mainly aimed at the youth market, so a large number of American dramas produced by them need to be sold out. Especially the programs that are not suitable for broadcasting on their own TV networks. For example, "Friends" was produced by Warner Bros. and sold to NBC for broadcasting. Warner Bros. has made 30 billion US dollars by this. It is estimated that if it is filmed for ten years, it will earn 40 billion..."

Whoa!This is the case here in the United States!It turns out that if the film company has a doppelganger, then they can make TV dramas?But to put it bluntly, isn’t a TV series just an extended movie?Can make a movie but can't make a TV series?And what he said, it really made Jia Hongjian's mind active!It is true that DreamWorks has never produced any American dramas in history, but this does not prevent Jia Hongjian from developing American dramas!If you can make a TV series that has been filmed for ten years, just like "Friends", this company can earn 40 billion US dollars!Earn an average of 4 million a year, which is equivalent to investing in three or four top Hollywood blockbusters?After all, although Hollywood blockbusters seem to have a high box office.But don't forget that the investment is also high!The higher the investment, the greater the risk!That's a one-shot deal!Invest 1 to 2 million to enter.After earning 3 million at the box office plus the share, this is more than [-] million US dollars, and the sales of various DVDs are only [-] million US dollars to support [-] million?But this is a single business, and the risk is high.What if it doesn't work out?Relatively speaking, because American dramas shoot a few episodes, they will be shown to the TV station, or even a pilot episode will be shown to the TV station.The risk can be kept to a minimum!

That's right!The mode of American dramas is to film and play while filming!Although such a result may lead to a stinky and long plot.After patting and patting, the main creators couldn't figure out why the unfinished projects were cut in half one by one, but anyway, such a production model is less risky!Invest several million dollars to shoot the first episode or the first few episodes and show it to the TV station. If the TV station is interested, it will try it out.After the response is good and the contract is signed, then continue to shoot.In this case, even if you lose money, it will only be a few million losses, not the same as investing in movies. Even if you invest in a lot of money, you may not make much money!In any case, the risk of movies is still greater than that of TV dramas, right?

So from the perspective of making money, Jia Hongjian is really interested in developing DreamWorks' ability to produce American dramas!In particular, didn't Katzenberg still want to prove to Disney that Katzenberg is definitely a suitable leader?Everyone, Disney bought ABC in the 90s, and then produced a lot of American TV series.Under such circumstances, DreamWorks gradually has a strong ability to produce American dramas. Isn't this a good move to prove Katzenberg's ability to the outside world?Only by making DreamWorks more and more powerful, even gradually becoming stronger like Disney, can this satisfy Katzenberg's urge to prove himself, isn't it?

Look, when Jia Hongjian was doing something, after thinking about how it would be good for himself, the next thing he thought about was whether it would be good for others!As long as it is good for others and needs are found or created, it will be much easier to convince others!So after Jia Hongjian thought about it, he urged Katzenberg to say, "Then Disney is developing into the TV industry now? Obviously they think it's not easy to develop just doing animation...Jeffrey, let's If you don’t catch up quickly, you won’t be able to compare with them in the future. Later, those who forced Disney will say that you foolishly resigned and ran away, but the company that has been in business for so many years can’t compare with Disney... "

As soon as Jia Hongjian said this, Katzenberg's expression changed!Disney, this is Katzenberg's reverse scale, he will be furious when others touch him!It's just that this kind of rage is not directed at Jia Hongjian, but at Disney!In any case, everyone in the company thought that Katzenberg would take over after the former boss left, but who knew that instead of him, he was given to a person behind him!Who can bear this, old man, who is full of blood?This is simply saying that Katzenberg can only be a deputy for the rest of his life, and he doesn't even have the ability to take power and run a large company!How could he bear this?

And in another aspect, what Jia Hongjian said was indeed correct!He, Katzenberg, just started this company with Spielberg and David Geffen. What is his own idea?That is to prove that you are capable!And in his wildest dreams, the happiest thing is that one day his DreamWorks will be a big hit, and then he will compete with Disney to the point of crushing Disney!Only in this way can there be a happy and enmity rush!And if he really wants to realize the scene in his dream, then it is necessary for DreamWorks to develop quickly!After all, this Katzenberg is also several dozen years old - before he was able to be the deputy to the CEO of Disney, is this something young can be?He's almost 60 this year, if you don't hurry up, don't look back, he will die. DreamWorks is still a small company, how can you take revenge?

So after being so provoked by Jia Hongjian, Katzenberg thought for a while, and almost immediately nodded in agreement. "Okay, I'll take care of this. I'll go back and find a producer with a wide network in the industry to recruit a team! Then I'll find an idea to find a team, and try to find a good story to start working on within this year!" Looking at Katzenberg Interested, Jia Hongjian smiled beside him, put his hand on Katzenberg's shoulder, and said tacitly: "Old man, I have an idea! I have tons of ideas here! As long as you If you want to run an American TV series, as long as you can recruit a team, I will take care of the creative work, and make sure that every idea will make our company profitable, and that every company will make our company famous!"

That's right!Who is Jia Hongjian?Reborn!What is the most attractive advantage of the reborn?That is, all walks of life will know what will be popular in the future!Similarly, after entering the 21st century, American dramas are becoming more and more popular in China, Jia Hongjian still doesn't know?He also watched a lot of American dramas in his previous life, so we stole the ideas of those well-known American dramas in advance, isn't that okay?Anyway, he doesn't need Jia Hongjian to supervise the production or anything, and he doesn't need him to accompany the whole process like helping to make a movie. He just needs to come up with an idea and a framework for the plot!Even if it's a bunch of American dramas that have been cut before, those American dramas that Jia Hongjian knew were at least quite well-known at the beginning!And in this way, wouldn't it be possible to establish the name of DreamWorks in a short period of time?As for why DreamWorks couldn't produce such a series of wonderful American dramas after 2012... Is it Jia Hongjian's business?It's time for Jia Hongjian to retire!Americans can't force him to come out and work again?And by then, DreamWorks will not have so many high-quality products at most, but after the whole shelf is set up, it will not be difficult to produce one or two good American dramas in a year or two!

For example, the first episode of "Anti-Terrorism 11 Hours" should start broadcasting in November this year. This film integrates terrorist attacks from various Hollywood blockbusters into one episode, and then has a limited time ——The 24 hours in the play must be cracked, plus the 24 in September will make people rush too much and be too nervous!Of course, maybe people have already started planning for this film, and they have already started casting and shooting concept short films.Then Jia Hongjian didn't necessarily have to copy other people's things completely!Nobody knows 9/911 is going to happen these days, nobody even pays attention to the Middle East!In Jia Hongjian's impression, the first episode of "Anti-Terrorism 911 Hours" seems to be mainly about the bombing of the Yugoslav Federation in 24, which led to Milosevic's cronies coming to assassinate the President of the United States!

And he, Jia Hongjian, can change his appearance, and set the idea that the Middle Easterners who have not noticed at this time are coming to attack!It doesn't have to be a plane hitting a building, it could be a car bomb exploding in a downtown area or something, but a human bomb or something!At that time, how much will this fit the hearts of the people after 911/2012?Moreover, as a reborn Jia Hongjian, he can design the overall situation so that it roughly matches the general trend of the world before [-]!How awesome is that?It means that ordinary people can watch the general trend of the world and the trend in the TV series in advance or simultaneously. How shocking is this?How attractive is that?

There are other American dramas such as "Prison Break" that have been on the air since 05. Jia Hongjian can copy them all!Although the first season of "Prison Break" was better in Jia Hongjian's view in history, the second and third seasons are a bit of a sequel.But let's start to make it ahead of time now, so can't we let the screenwriters make up the story in advance? (To be continued..)
