American Fortune Life

“Boss, Colorful Cigarettes and Canadian Club Whisky are very satisfied with the advertising results broadcast by season 1 advertisers. We have no objection to our request to increase the price of the ad placement. Colorful agrees to a $10 million quote, and Whisky's $6 million is happy to agree. ”

When he heard the good news from AMC Cable's CEO, Prepler, Andy nodded, "The advertising price for cigarettes should be a little harsh, but under California law, actors can't smoke in the workplace, and these tobacco cigarettes should still be trademarked, and since they have money, they should be professional. ”

“Understood, boss.” Prapler nodded with a smile and replied, frankly jumping from HBO, he took a huge risk. After sitting on the CEO's throne, he directly hung up as a producer and participated in the production of the TV show "The Advertiser".

Successful, the viewership rate was not great, but the reputation burst, which also held him steady on the throne, while his thoughts began to get agitated when he was HBO as the director of television drama production, all he admired was all kinds of great CHI degrees, heavy kou flavor, he was always looking for new ideas.

But at this point, a talented young boss threw out a rough story-setting outline that couldn't be called a script, totally exciting to Prepler, royal, violent, bloody, all kinds of elements set to pile together, like no bottom line and no string of heavy KOU flavors.

Indeed, the position of HBO was also shocked by the gunfire and red.

“Boss, this is Johnson Johnson's novel, The Beachfront Empire, and I want to buy his film and television adaptation rights as a future annual feature episode. ”

Andy, who was drinking coffee, heard Prapler's words and saw the book on the table, almost sprayed the coffee out of his mouth, swallowed it hard, coughed a few times, and Amanda, sitting beside him, rushed out and handcuffed it to Andy.

“Pryor, I've read this novel, and I like it, but you know what it takes to restore the Atlantic City of the '20s, and build a virtual city with real gold and silver? ”

Andy would certainly not be unfamiliar with the Atlantic Empire, but he also knew that the first episode of the show had cost about $18 million to build a virtual city in Brooklyn, New York, where, quite frankly, despite its strong ratings and reputation, it did burn a fortune.

“Boss, this novel is really valuable, and I know it's going to cost a lot, but I'm sure it'll pay off.” Prapler also knew it would cost a fortune, but he was confident that he would recover the cost and make a profit.

“Let's buy the copyright first. As for the filming plan, after all, we already have the highly acclaimed ephemeral of advertising maniacs. There is no need to bring out another ephemeral, the historical drama of Blood and Sand. Now the first thing is to make another modern fashion drama. Have you two seen the British" Shameless "drama? Have you seen them all? Well, go buy its overseas copyright, which is the script outline of my boring adaptation of the American edition of Shameless and the first episode... ”

That's right, this time Andy has targeted Shameless, the poorest family in the United States, as a story of death, frightening tens of thousands of young girls and tarnishing the social atmosphere... an old gangster show!

As a family life drama, vibrancy is definitely the most visible label for Shameless.

Whether it's a picture or a plot, it gives Andy the impression that the drama has been shaking Andy's shaky three-way view of heaven and dynasty, and brazenly says to him, "Little darling, you've seen so little world!

“Pff--”

Prapler looks at the settings of the main characters, as well as the first sentence of the first episode: “WARNING: The following is wuhui extreme, please keep your mind pure as you read when you are 18 years old. As the sun rose, the high-ranking animals of the Chicago Glades began another day of" Better Dead Than Alive "... ”

The more you look, the more you make Prepler feel the creeps, the more you look up at the young boss, the more you seem to see the light... Cough, all kinds of problems that can't get to the table are torn out by "live shots”. Emperor, it's a take-off. In contrast, HBO episodes can only be considered serious historical documentaries.

“Pff--”

“Ha ha, that's disgusting, Andy, I didn't even know you... Ha ha, how could you write such a story, lol... ”

Amanda looked at the script in her hand, at those stinky, flying conversations, and she just sprayed a smile, and the branches were trembling, and the laughter couldn't stop.

Andy smiled and looked down on his prayer Prapler and said, "Go buy the copyright, I'm sure the show will be popular. ”

“No, boss, this is going to be a theatre, a theatre like Old Friends! I made it myself, I must come myself... ”

Andy shook his head laughingly and watched as Amanda grabbed the script and left the office in a flash, knowing that he, the CEO, would definitely contact the UK the first time.

“My God, this family is pathetic. Do you have a prototype of the story you wrote? I'm willing to give them a hand... ”

After laughing, Amanda said with a little pity, she couldn't help but turn a white eye and spit out: “It's just a story. These things are everywhere in America's slums, and the biggest villain in life is -- poverty! “

“God, I can't really live like them, how they can go on, they're pathetic... By the way, darling, how's your game going? I'm going to try it first. I don't believe it's going to be that hard. ”

Andy smiled and said, "You'll see for yourself then. I've warned you, don't yell at me or drop your phone. ”

“How is it possible... ”

Amanda's uncomfortable and delicate voice came out of the office, and as for the poor, it was just an emotion for them, and no one would care after that, and that was the real world.

In the Cadillac SUV on the streets of Manhattan, Andy looked at the people walking along the roadside, and he also had a little anticipation. His favorite drama of his previous life, he didn't know what new plots the writers would make to keep him going in the world according to his own settings.

On the evening of December 30, 2007, one day before the New Year, Manhattan was lit with colorful colored lights in preparation for the New Year.

“Ah--honey, I hate you! Hate you! What a shitty game... I hate you... I can't believe I can't even get past the first obstacle! Damn, I don't believe... ”

Andy, who was in the study and several of his CEOs having a video conference, got up somewhat embarrassed, walked to the study door and closed the door, and Ivana's impatient shock screamed and spit slotted straight through the hallway into the study.

“I'm sorry, Ivana is trying to play Stupid Birds First, and you should understand...” Andy helplessly opened his hand and continued: “It's a crazy game, it's a little anti-human, and people with good temper are driven crazy... ”

A few of the video windows on the computer monitor were a little embarrassed, and they were also typical cases of being tried and almost tortured crazy, but what made them feel even crazier was that they were trying like demons once, dying, trying... Unconsciously caught up in that infinite loop of shaking M attributes.

“Boss, you've developed a crazy game that... I can't imagine how fascinating it would be. ”

Talking to Dr. Jiaye, the genius, was also a victim of the trial version, but when he passed the first obstacle, he restrained the urge to continue looking for abuse and chose to uninstall it, even if it was the first player that tens of millions of people dreamed of, and he didn't care.

“Seriously, I was thinking about it, and it would be fascinating, and I wanted to give players 24 hours to download and then get off the shelf... ”

“How can that be! Boss, I strongly disagree! Boss, it will take the world at the shortest possible speed, this time giving the Free City Software Store a qualitative change in visits and downloads, and, Boss, we still have a lot of project results to test in this time, and it won't come out in a short time. Am I right, Ye? ”

Watching his software store CEO react excitedly, Andy is also smiling, of course he understands Michael's mood and everyone knows how popular and admirable this heartbreaking game will be.
