Hollywood legendary director

Andrew is a thoughtful person.

Because of the good results of "Prison Break", it can be regarded as a new situation in the TV series. Naturally, it is unwilling to remain silent. In a short period of time, in addition to contacting more advertisers to pull funds, the company's production department Also cooperated with another film and television company for a new drama.

It also focuses on the youth market. It is a campus comedy genre. It is scheduled to be played at 10 o'clock in the evening after "Prison Break".

Thanks to the audience traffic driven by "Prison Break", the first episode of the trial broadcast also had a ratings of 1.7. Although it is not high, the production costs of the series are not much. If you keep it, you can still make good profits.

Unfortunately, the WB TV station did not form the most favorable momentum for multi-situation development.

Other programs, should it not work or not.

It's like NBC's bonuses played by "Friends", other aspects of performance have also risen sharply.

And Lehman didn't reveal any idea of ​​making a new drama, so Andrew wanted to use the production capacity of Firefly Pictures to open up the WB TV station, and his aggressive plan naturally failed.

Fortunately, he held the broadcasting copyright of "Prison Break" ahead of time, and before the three seasons mentioned by Lehmann finished broadcasting, he would not immediately fall into depravity.

Regarding the performance of this drama, it can be regarded as refreshing his psychological expectations. At present, as long as the situation can be stabilized, the TV station is undoubtedly the most assured.

Andrew's "sight" was also praised by some senior officials in Warner headquarters.

The reorganization that I mentioned earlier has also lost its voice.

After all, for Warner, as long as the WB TV station can be self-sufficient, it doesn't matter if it can't make money, don't keep getting blood transfusions.

Then, entering the first weekend of November, Lismanwish Pictures had a different movement.

Charles did not appear as harmonious as he used to be in a cooperation appointment with ABC.

"How can you do this? This is an act that violates the spirit of the contract. I won't agree."

Charles angrily yelled at an acquaintance he had worked with many times-a man with glasses, thin hair, about fifty years old, and one of the executives of the ABC TV series, Rodel.

Rodel looked at him so angry, but he still looked as if he hadn't heard him, without the slightest anger.

After all, what he did was to offend people, and people should be angry.

"This is the meaning of the above, I just deal with you often, and I will let you know in advance. If I refuse, the schedule of the broadcast will not be coordinated."

Charles's face darkened.

The new drama "Man to Middle Age" produced by my own company hasn't done "Prison Break". Nowadays, ABC even tears up the signed broadcasting contract.

I want to downgrade "Middle Age", cut it in half, and replace it with other new dramas to compete with WB in order to win the favor of advertisers.

You must know that the production cost of "Middle Age" is not high, and the ratings were 2 during the trial broadcast. Renewal is definitely a profit and a win-win situation.

But now, tell him no, ABC will no longer be broadcast.

Play it!

The love of cooperation in the past did not give Charles any face.

Can you not be angry?

In all fairness.

"Man to Middle Age" is a small production of sitcom type.

It does not overlap with the audience market of "Prison Break". No matter how popular "Prison Break" is, it will not affect much.

The previous life has also been successfully broadcast for a season, which is the type that makes money steadily.

It won't break out, and it's hard to lose the market. Unfortunately, Lehman hit Lehman with "Prison Break" at the wrong time. After a big fish appeared in the winter schedule, ABC couldn't bear to play this mediocre drama.

how to say?

Several major TV stations are competing with each other, how can they fall behind too much.

As for Rodel’s personal relationship with Charles...

Business is business, right?

This is not something that business should consider.

After all, the top management has already made a decision. Whether to say or not, "Man to Middle Age" has to make room. This is not something Rodel can circumvent.

"The ratings are incomparable, but the TV series itself is not bad, it has an audience base, why bother to cut your TV station?"

"Some of them are also being pressured by advertisers, who believe that "Man to Middle Age" is not eligible for placement of ads."

"Renewable contracts have been signed, and the crew is also working hard to catch up with the progress of the filming. Can these be voided?"

"Ha, we will compensate. It will be enough to make up for these losses and will not make you lose money."

"this one?"

Charles laughed angrily.

If the TV series can’t be broadcast, you won’t get a share of the ad placement fee, and you won’t be able to burn discs. The offline market will be harvested. In addition, the crew that is still filming will also be disbanded. The actors will definitely be evil-those You don’t need to care about Xiaolongtao, but the lead actor has worked with Charles many times, and both parties have personal relationships. On weekdays, whenever there is a project, they will basically be invited like him. People are also very happy to spare the schedule for shooting...

Can these losses also be measured with funds?

Moreover, ABC has no conscience at all, and only promised to compensate for the losses caused by the suspension of filming. This money is too far from the profit of Charles's project. How can it be satisfied?

It was a good meeting between friends, but at the moment it was mixed with fire and smoke.

Rodel lowered his head, said nothing, but sneered in his heart, not taking Charles seriously.

If Lismanvish Films hadn't brought ABC film sources and profits, who would have been with you?

Kindly inform me, give me some preparations, and don't appreciate it.Ah.

There was no attitude on his face, no smile to hide it.

As for Charles's gaffe, it is because it was a TV series produced by Lehman.

If the other film and television companies do nothing, let it go, lose or lose, and withdraw the file.

But the opponent is still pursuing the purpose of acquiring his own painstaking effort, and has been quitting personnel, let alone bringing the production team to make progress together. Now it is still suppressing, and Lionsgate is intervening in the personnel department, which makes Charles always suffocated.

This is not bad, the evil spirit has not come out, but it has deepened.

Charles's heart was called a big fire, and the abandonment of ABC only aggravated the fire.

Can this not break out?

He waved his hand and said unceremoniously: "In this matter, ABC can do whatever it wants. I have no problem."

"Yes. In that case, I will also go back first. The company has a lot of business, but it is not as leisurely as you."

Rodel said the same rude words, which hurt a horse.It also shows that the two people's fairly harmonious friendship has broken.

He stood up decisively and said:

"Remember to send someone over tomorrow to re-sign a copyright contract."

After speaking, he left the clubhouse directly.

But I am not worried about the consequences of actively tearing up the contract.

Anyway, the always strong ABC is not afraid.

Charles's face is even more ugly.
