American Entertainment: Taylor Swift wrote a song for the beginning

Chapter 164 you are fired! ! (Additional chapter for the leader of the Sheep Catcher)

"You mean... Ryan Rivers wrote this script???" DeWine confirmed repeatedly.

"Yes, it's true." Julie nodded.

"Tsk, stop lying. This rhetoric may only fool your brainless fans." The content manager was the first one who didn't believe it.

"I'm not lying. Ryan dictated the entire script himself. I saw it with my own eyes. Although it's hard to explain with common sense, every genius can't be explained by common sense, right? Einstein and so on." Julie said with a smile.

It is really not easy to convince others that Ryan wrote "2 Broke Girls", after all, the two fields of electronic music and scriptwriting are too far apart.

"Then we must reconsider the commercial value of this series." Devin immediately looked at the marketing director.

"We can collaborate with Ryan and promote the series with the selling point of 'the first screenwriter's series by a talented musician.' Of course, Ryan must make a guest appearance, and do it frequently. We have to give him a role," the marketing director said immediately.

If a TV series can invite a celebrity to help out, and this celebrity happens to have some "box office appeal", then the popularity of the show will definitely go to a higher level.

"But in that case... the fee for the exclusive broadcasting rights will be higher. Let me be frank with you first." Julie repeated what Ryan had told her before.

"Do you think we can't afford the money?" Devin smiled.

"Of course not," Julie quickly denied.

Ryan called back faster than expected.

"Yes, the other party showed great interest? What? Don't you want to consider it again? I see." Julie put down the phone temporarily and shook her head at everyone.

Dewen waved at her, meaning to give me the phone.

Julie handed over the phone.

"Hello, young man. My name is Devin Ostrov. You can call me Devin. I am the CEO of CW TV." Devin introduced herself.

"Hello, Ms. Devin, I know you are very interested, but..." It was Ryan Rivers' voice on the other end of the phone.

"No, no, no, young man, don't be anxious. Wait for me to finish. We are a TV station, but we are more than just a TV station. Standing behind us are Warner and CBS. The executives of these two companies are here now. I can ask them to talk to you. Ryan, you have great looks, and I have to admit that you are damn talented. I don't swear often. Sorry."

"I'm not in a hurry, but I feel like you are." Ryan laughed on the other end of the phone.

"Yes... I may be a little anxious. I just want you to know that we need this series and we need you too. We need you very much." Devin took a deep breath.

"Then can you talk about the price?" Ryan asked.

"75 per episode, including one premiere and one rerun. If the response is good, there will be additional broadcast fees for each subsequent rerun. This is the highest budget we have given to a sitcom in its first season."

"This is why I don't want to work with you. You haven't even aired a popular sitcom. Do you know how much money my nightclub makes in a day?"

"A nightclub relies on cash flow, while a TV series relies on long-term profits. I think Julie has made this very clear to you. I'm only talking about the budget for the first season, and it's a one-time broadcast. I'm confident that this series will bring you profits in the future that are no worse than your nightclub."

The production cost of a sitcom is very transparent, with fixed scenes, indoor shots, and a small number of actors, the production cost is 50 to 150 million per episode.

However, the production cost will increase each season because the actors' salaries must increase each time they renew their contracts for a new season, and the same goes for other core positions.

Take Friends as an example. In the early days, the cost per episode was no more than 150 million US dollars, but in the later seasons, the cost per episode soared to 500 million US dollars.

In other words, the price offered by Dewen was already very high, and the TV station was not obligated to bear the entire cost.

"I'm sorry, I'm short-sighted and I care more about immediate benefits. You want me to make a cameo appearance, which will of course increase the cost."

"Okay, I'll calculate your pay. For each episode, I'll give you 30 yuan. Your pay will increase every season thereafter." Devin said.

"It's not just me, it's also Taylor Rivers, and other celebrities, Paris Hilton and stuff, I think it might as well be included in the production cost."

"$120 million per episode, that's my bottom line."

"100 million. This is the highest authority I can use. If it's higher, you can only negotiate with the top management of Warner and CBS."

"No problem, I'll contact CBS right away..."

"Forget it, it's just 120 million per episode. But correspondingly, with such a high cost, we also have additional requirements for ratings. I will order five episodes this time and then see the situation." "Order the first five episodes first...Okay, give the phone to Julie." Ryan said.

Julie answered the phone again.

"Yes, there is such a rule. In fact, most dramas are not ordered for full seasons unless they lead in the ratings." Julie explained to Ryan.

After talking for a while, Julie put down the phone.

"Ryan has nodded. The contract can be signed today." Julie also breathed a sigh of relief. The successful negotiation for "Go Broke" meant that her "The Vampire Diaries" had also been settled.

"The Vampire Diaries will first order the first three episodes, and then we'll see how things go with the rest." Devin began to calculate carefully.

In fact, the TV station's annual profit is directly linked to her bonus, so of course she has to be thrifty.

·
600 million yuan in hand! Ryan put down the phone and breathed a sigh of relief.

There will be no need to build scenes for future filming, and the cost will only get lower and lower. As for guest appearances, they are just guest appearances, so why should they be paid? In other words, the subsequent production costs are very low. Of the 600 million yuan, at least half can be netted. Moreover, this is only the first broadcast, and every rebroadcast afterwards can earn profits!

"Where were we just now?" Ryan looked up at the two secretaries standing in front of him.

"She was the first to attack," Teresa said slowly. Her collar was torn, several buttons on her shirt were missing, her sleeves were torn off, her hair was messy, blood was dripping from the corners of her mouth, her lips were cracked, and there was a bruise where her eyes were. The straps of her bra were torn off, and she was topless.

"She was the first to disrespect me!" Terra gritted her teeth. Her injuries were much lighter than Teresa's, but there were several scratches on her face and her stockings were torn in several places.

This time when Ryan returned to Florida, he waited for a long time at the airport but no car came to pick him up. When he took a taxi back to the bad room, he heard screaming as soon as he got out of the elevator. Then he saw two secretaries wrestling in the office, pulling hair, tearing clothes, biting with teeth, scratching with nails. In short, it was a terrible fight.

"Tell me how she was disrespectful to you."

"She looks down on me. Relying on your favor, she turns a deaf ear to what I say and even calls me a sellout." Terra was furious.

"You were the first one to call me a bitch." Teresa said coldly.

"Shut up, bitch!"

"Do you still want to fight?" Theresa yelled.

"Okay, okay, Terra, you were the one who started it, right?" Ryan narrowed his eyes.

"She was the one who ignored me first!" Terra shouted.

"Teresa, is what she said wrong?" Ryan looked at Teresa again.

Theresa said nothing.

"Cancel your bonus this month and go back to your office now." Ryan asked Theresa to leave first.

"That's what you should do. You should have put a stop to her arrogance a long time ago. This bitch takes advantage of the fact that you like her and does nothing every day!" After she left, Terra immediately started to complain.

Ryan didn't say anything, but took out a brand new contract from the drawer and threw it to Terra.

"what is this?"

"Confidentiality agreement, Tyra, thank you for your contribution to the record company... I have decided to temporarily transfer you to a marginal position,"

She is too jealous. If she is not kicked out now, it will bring greater hidden dangers in the future. It is better to forget about the jealousy here. However, Ryan did not go to extremes.

Terra was stunned for a few seconds, then sneered: "Very good, you're going to throw me away when you're tired of playing, right?"

"I'm just asking you to calm down for a while. If you figure it out, you can always come back later."

"Come back? Will there be a place for me at that time? Do you believe this? You're just going to send me away like this, right? Very well, since you are so ruthless, don't blame me for being cruel!" Terra turned around and left the office.

　I still need 10 chapters. Also, don’t think the ending of this chapter is too bloody, because the subsequent development is really different from what you think! Trust me. (Highlight the key points)
　　After reading everyone's feedback, everyone hopes that the career aspects will be more detailed. Generally, as long as there are many people who say so, I will adopt it. However, today's four chapters were coded the day before yesterday, so the changes cannot be presented quickly. Tomorrow's chapters will be changed. (Tomorrow will continue to add more)
