"Boss!"
"Mr. Page!"
As soon as Kyle entered Conference Room No. 1, the hundreds of people sitting there, regardless of their status or how much experience they had in the screenwriting industry, all stood up.
In private enterprises, Kyle is like a local tyrant.
How dare they make trouble when they are relying on Kyle for their livelihood?
"Everyone, sit down. Don't stand. Please take a seat." Kyle greeted everyone with a smile.
No matter what Kyle's true appearance is, sometimes he always has to pretend to be approachable.
"Boss, let me introduce you,"
Alexander led four people, three men and one woman, all over 40 years old, to Kyle and said loudly, "Boss, these four are professors from Stanford University. They are Dr. Xingge, Dr. Tulian, Dr. Vivian, and Dr. Hotasky."
Among them, Dr. Xinge and Dr. Tullian are professors of physics at Stanford University, majoring in quantum physics;
Dr. Vivian and Dr. Hotarsky are both law professors at Stanford University, specializing in psychological criminology and behavioral criminology;
"I'm Kyle Page, and I'm very happy to meet you four." Kyle shook hands with each of them enthusiastically.
Kyle added: "Time is running out now, how about we talk about it in detail later?"
"No problem." The four doctors nodded.
The reason for inviting four doctors is that two of the four scripts planned by Kyle must use their professional knowledge, which is exactly what Kyle lacks.
The Big Bang Theory is a comedy, yes, but the two male protagonists in the show are both highly intelligent science geeks who are crazy about quantum physics, and the show involves a lot of professional knowledge of quantum physics.
How can Kyle write without the assistance of professional talents?
The same is true for Prison Break!
It is a crime-themed TV series, which requires a certain amount of legal knowledge to construct the skeleton of the script, rather than making assumptions out of thin air. Otherwise, the clips presented will inevitably be full of loopholes.
"Meeting~!"
Following Kyle's order,
The scene became quiet.
Video on!
Transcript turned on!
That's right, video and text records are essential procedures for meetings. Otherwise, if a copyright dispute occurs, you will not be able to win the lawsuit.
"Everyone, have you seen the four scripts in front of you?"
"The Big Bang Theory, 2 Broke Girls, The Walking Dead, and Prison Break. That's right, these are the four American TV series that our Golden Dawn Television Group will be focusing on next."
"Among them, two series, 'The Big Bang Theory' and '2 Broke Girls', will be broadcast on The WB Public Television;"
"And 'The Walking Dead' and 'Prison Break' will be broadcast exclusively on UPN Limited, exclusively for subscribers."
Upon hearing this, everyone present nodded in understanding.
Except for four PhDs, the hundreds of people present were all professionals working in the screenwriting industry. Reading the script at a glance was an essential skill for them.
In just over ten minutes, they had already understood the general situation.
"The Big Bang Theory" and "2 Broke Girls" are both budget-friendly comedies perfect for families to watch around the dinner table. Aren't the trivialities, neighborhood gossip, and family affairs perfectly suited to their tastes?
Overall, it's inexpensive and easy to shoot!
But....
The Walking Dead and Prison Break are two completely different shows.
Both have very high requirements for the scenes. The scene arrangement of each episode alone requires a lot of manpower and material resources, which is definitely a huge investment.
This is completely different from the cost expenditure of current mainstream American TV dramas.
In the 21st century, American TV series introduced to the world give people the impression of being well-made and of high-quality pictures. Each season is as exciting as a movie, and the requirements are extremely high.
But, that was in the 21st century!
In the American TV drama market in the late 1990s, the requirements and production costs of many TV dramas were not high. Most of them were similar to the series "Growing Pains" and "Friends". Apart from the high salaries of the actors, the production cost of each episode might be only $100,000.
The high-cost, well-produced American TV series was started by the mini-series "Band of Brothers" jointly created by DreamWorks and HBO TV!
And now, Kyle wants to be the first to try it!
Use high-quality, high-cost "The Walking Dead" and "Prison Break" to open up a new market for American TV series!
Especially for "Prison Break", Kyle gave the production cost of each episode as 800,000 US dollars, which is several times higher than the current mainstream TV series cost of 100,000 to 200,000 US dollars per episode.
The cost of filming the 22 episodes of the first season will be around 18 million US dollars, which is much higher than the cost of many Hollywood films.
Looking at the current mainstream market, who would dare to spend so much money to play?
No!
Not one!
"Hiss~~!"
Suddenly, everyone present gasped.
They all saw Kyle's "ambition", and at the same time they felt their blood boiling. No matter what the future results would be, they were proud and proud to be able to participate in such a groundbreaking drama.
The era of high-cost American TV series will be opened by Kyle~!
....
In fact, Kyle initially considered using a royal bomb at the start!
If "House of Cards" and "Game of Thrones" were to be shown now, they would definitely be the most powerful ones, sweeping away all demons, evil spirits and monsters!
But, Kyle couldn't do it!
The TV series "House of Cards" produced by Netflix in 2010 was based on the political novel of the same name by a British writer. However, as early as the 1990s, the British BBC Broadcasting Corporation had obtained the copyright and produced a related mini-TV series, which received rave reviews.
Kyle sold the copyright of "Got Talent" to ITV, which can be said to have completely broken up with the BBC.
Kyle sent someone to inquire about the copyright of "House of Cards", but was directly rejected.
In the short term, Kyle will have no chance of obtaining the copyright from the BBC.
"Game of Thrones" is even more troublesome!
George Raymond Richard Martin, the author of "Game of Thrones", is an old guy who is not short of money and is very shrewd. When Kyle sent someone to inquire about copyright issues, he was directly rejected.
"Dude, I've only published one volume of A Song of Ice and Fire, and you're so impatient! So you can only imagine how good my work is."
"You want my film and television copyrights, forget it now!"
"Well, I have to wait at least a few years until I publish a few more volumes of A Song of Ice and Fire. Besides, I have no shortage of money."
Well, these are the original words of George Raymond Richard Martin. With many works, even without "A Song of Ice and Fire", he would still be a billionaire.
(Note: A Game of Thrones, also known as A Song of Ice and Fire.)
What could Kyle do after being rejected by George Raymond Richard Martin?
All I can do is wait!
However, for now, Kyle's selections of "The Big Bang Theory," "2 Broke Girls," "The Walking Dead," and "Prison Break" are already quite good, and can be considered two kings with four 2s.
"In the original time and space, The Walking Dead was first based on comics, and then the TV series was adapted. Now that the comics haven't come out yet, I can definitely launch the comics."
"Well, isn't it wonderful to have the title of a comics master?"
In the following time, Kyle made specific requirements to the hundreds of screenwriters present, requiring them to complete the first draft within one month.
The launch of four American TV series is inevitable!
