Hollywood legendary director

"Can you two stay for a while and answer a few questions?"

Near Santa Monica Square, there are many commercial buildings. At three o'clock in the afternoon, a statistical investigator who was commissioned by the WB TV station for an on-site interview stopped a pair of slightly younger men and women.

Perhaps it is more secure for couples.

After the two stopped, they did not show any impatient emotions.

So the man said again: "I want to ask, have you two watched the TV series "Prison Break"?"

Random investigations and street interviews are common in the United States.

Among the men and women who were stopped, the girl among them replied first: "I have seen it. Very good."

"Not yet." The boy also said, and then quickly added, "If you have time, you can definitely watch it. The TV series that Sally can approve are obviously the best."

After speaking, the girl gave the boy a blank look.

But he was still very satisfied with his behavior in such a way. With joy in his heart, he grabbed the boy, stood on his toes, and kissed him on the cheek.

Then, the boy responded.

The sour smell of love exuded the two people who were not alone, making the interviewer had to escape from the plague.

Heaven can see pity, he is still single!

"Hello, can you take a moment to ask some questions?"

The man continued to visit on the street.

"Are you an employee of the WB TV station? Can you help you react, don't do such wicked things, how can you control the duration like this, and put a little suspense at the end?

"Oh, that's right. It made me uncomfortable last night, just a little bit of the plot is not finished yet, I want to see if Miller's digging is discovered, and if something happened." The person next to him heard the interview. Run over to join in the fun.

The afternoon passed quickly.

Men surveyed 123 people, 42 of them had watched "Prison Break", and 38 people thought the TV series was good.

As for which character you like the most, what needs to be improved is also a must.

On the other side, the headquarters of WB Television.

Director Andrew Hernandez also happily continued the call.

It was from a member of the board who supported him.

"How long can the TV series be played, and will there be any files after the show?"

After chatting, I still talked about "Prison Break".

"One episode a week, it can last for three months. As for taking over the repertoire, there is no suitable one yet."

"Oh, will it be gone after it's finished?"

Andrew Hernandez sweats profusely.

In fact, he didn't even complete the follow-up play of "Prison Break".

But can he say it?

Can only cope with it.

...

WB TV station is pretty impressive.

This is the second time Lyman has come here, but he has special feelings.

Ten minutes later, the director's assistant ran down to pick him up.

This point was just in time for the TV station to get off work, and two people walked on the road. Lehman looked at these employees in a good mood, and joked, "Are there any good things? The pay?"

"Nothing." The female assistant smiled.

Regarding this denial, Lehman did not follow up.

The situation inside the TV station was pretty good. He didn't have this atmosphere last time.

Two people got up the elevator to the fifth floor, got out of the elevator, and walked straight to Andrew's office.

open the door.

Still familiar with the layout, Andrew sat behind his desk.

Hearing the movement, he has already moved his eyes to this side.

"President."

The female assistant greeted with a smile.

After the person was brought, he hid the door and left.

As soon as the female assistant left, Andrew got up and shook hands with Lyman very enthusiastically.

"Presumably you also know that the results of "Prison Break" are not bad."

Obviously, as far as friendship is concerned, the two have just met once and are not familiar with each other.

But in the business arena, what should be expressed must be expressed.

Lehman also smiled and said, "I haven't seen him for two months, Mr. Andrew has the same temperament. We still need to take care of our company in the future."

"you are welcome."

The two chatted and sat down.

Andrew also didn't want to be verbose, so he hurried to the topic, "Isn't it time to officially sign a contract for "Prison Break"?"

"I came here this time, of course with the idea of ​​continuing to cooperate, but..." Lehman paused.

Andrew frowned slightly.

The person on the other side showed a somewhat shy smile that wanted to make money.

"Of course there is no problem with cooperation. A platform like WB is also what we need. However, I think we can work on the details that were initially negotiated last time."

The smile on Andrew's face weakened slightly.

No way, the situation is better than people.

Immediately afterwards, Lehman said: "Furthermore, after the first season of "Prison Break", there will be two more seasons behind, and we also have ideas."

Andrew thought for a moment and asked: "The end of the three seasons?"

"Yeah." Lehman nodded and said: "The plot of the whole drama advances, we already have an idea."

"Is that so?" Andrew hesitated.

Lehman laughed and said: "I went to shoot for a boutique drama, and I will never procrastinate and stretch the plot. Three seasons are already the limit, and filming again will only reduce the audience's sense of expectation. That is meaningless.

"Can you sign together?"

After hearing Lehman talk about this, Andrew did not hide his determination to want, "Together for three seasons."

"Is this a good quotation? Without the support of the statistics of the ratings, I said it is high, you are not willing?" Lehman asked.

Andrew was silent for a while.

"If it's low, would I be willing? I don't think the ratings of three will be the end of "Prison Break"."

Andrew pondered for a moment, then remained silent.

"Let's come season by season. If the first season breaks through 4, we will definitely give in." Firefly Pictures is just a newcomer in the TV drama industry, and WB TV can't give too high a signing framework.

"Okay." Andrew gave a wry smile.

Do young people now have such accounting comparisons?

Of course, he didn't think that Lehmann could have such a result.

Otherwise, it will not be required to renew the subscription as long as the stability exceeds 1.3 during the trial broadcast.

"Look at the terms of the contract first, can you accept it."

The template for the pilot contract was brought over.

"It's not a big problem." Lehman looked over, followed by a sentence, "The offline share of "Prison Break", I hope I can get another 5%."

Andrew thought for a while before practicing Tai Chi: "I need to discuss this with someone."

Lehman sternly said: "I didn't make any comments on the advertising division, but the offline segment is about making long-term money. In fact, it should not be so embarrassing to exchange time for revenue. There are two more seasons to come. , You can't do everything at once."

Andrew was silent for two or three minutes, and chose to let go, "Okay, at this price, sign the contract as soon as possible."

No matter how uncertain, WB TV station can't afford to delay time, just as it is for better cooperation in the future.
