Chapter 894: Shoot Yourself!

"Joy Hotel", also known as "Cheers", is not the first sitcom in the United States, but it is the most successful sitcom in the United States.

What do you say about "Six", "The Big Bang Theory", "Bankruptcy Sisters", how crazy and good-looking the ratings of these latecomers are, in front of "Happy Hotel", they are not enough to watch.

In terms of ratings, "Happy Hotel" spans 20 years, and the ratings have repeatedly exploded, much higher than "Six", "Bankrupt Sisters" and "The Big Bang Theory".

In terms of influence, without the success of "Happy Hotel", later sitcoms would not have appeared so frequently.

Later, "Late Night Canteen", which became a hot mess in Japan, isn't this also a canteen version of "Happy Hotel"?

In addition to food or something, there is also the precipitation of American humor into Japanese-style precipitation, which is really a living plagiarism!

Even those sitcoms in our country are too deeply influenced by "Happy Hotel".

So, basically, it can be said that "Happy Hotel" is the originator of future sitcoms.

Such a sitcom is the originator, and now it has begun to prepare for filming.

is different from the effect of filming and watching in his previous life, Yin Jun told Tang Shuxuan that if this TV series is done well, it will be the signature of Disney TV channels within 20 years.

On the plane back to the United States, Tang Shuxuan began to read its script.

The script given by Yin Jun only wrote about the first 20 episodes.

But what is more detailed than these plots is the setting of the characters in the play given by Yin Jun.

Yin Jun has set up a total of 33 important characters, each with their own unique personality and their style of doing things.

In the first 20 episodes, there were only 12 in total, but Tang Shuxuan read a kind of intriguing taste from them.

These people, who are not very successful people, do not boast about their success and money in the hotel all day long.

On the contrary, Yin Jun put the focus of the script on one small thing after another.

Or it's a unit drama one by one.

Each unit drama has its own unique characteristics, sometimes it is connected with other units, and sometimes it is not connected at all.

What makes Tang Shuxuan feel powerful the most is that Yin Jun has set all the personalities of these people extremely appropriately, which fits perfectly with the plot.

It is no exaggeration to say that Tang Shuxuan just looked at the script and felt as if Yin Jun had been to this hotel before, and sat in the corner of the hotel, observing them carefully for a while.

A TV script writer can transform the written words into a taste, and directly make the person reading the script feel as if they are there, which is a rare thing in itself.

Tang Shuxuan has read so many scripts, that is, Yin Jun alone has this kind of water product.

Yin Jun's script has nothing particularly beautiful, nor is there anything esoteric and difficult to understand, it is simple and clear, and can highlight the key points, and can also point out the main points very precisely, which is considered by Tang Shuxuan to be one of Yin Jun's most successful places.

Basically, if you take Yin Jun's book, as long as you don't have too many whims, then you will definitely be able to make a good film.

The directors of Xiangjiang have used various successes to prove that Tang Shuxuan's inference is correct.

Yin Jun's first published books "Jurassic Park" and "The Da Vinci Code" were both translated by Tang Shuxuan.

This made Yin Jun fully feel his shortcomings.

So for the past two years, he has been training his English speaking and writing skills whenever he has free time.

After about half a year of practice and continuous conversation with Americans, it is natural that Yin Jun's English will reach the point where he can speak directly.

But English writing is completely different, it requires too much familiarity with grammar, vocabulary, customs, etc., in order to write a good essay.

The real European and American excellent books, even if you only read the original English version, you can appreciate the beauty of vocabulary and charm.

This is similar to Chinese books, good writing, there is no barrier, it can cross the barrier of language.

According to Yin Jun's attainments in English, it is very difficult to write a book, or a script.

But Yin Jun has a characteristic, or strength.

That is, he will continue to challenge himself, improve himself, learn what he doesn't understand, and practice what he can't.

Especially if you want to develop in Hollywood in the future, you need others to help you with everything, how can you be a good script writer and director?

Face-to-face direct communication is definitely better than conveying the meaning through translation, and it is conducive to the cooperation between the crew.

There is no time, Yin Jun will sit down and write a paragraph in English every two or three days, as for holding an English book to read, it is not a day or two, Yin Jun has read more than 50 English classics in recent years.

This is not a reading of ten lines, but a word-by-word reading, paragraph by paragraph to figure out the meaning and artistic conception.

Reading in this way is not a pleasure at all, but a sin.

But Yin Jun still persevered.

What if you don't stick to it?

Are you going to give up now?

A dream with so many expectations, how can it be buried at the beginning of the dream?

There are some things that you may not succeed in gritting your teeth, but you will definitely not succeed if you don't grit your teeth.

So, Yin Jun worked hard day by day and made progress day by day.

Finally, by now, his "Beverly Hills Detective" for Bruckheimer was written in English, and "Happy Hotel", "Dragon Tiger Boys" and "Beach Rescue Team" for Tang Shuxuan were all in English.

It's just that for Tang Shuxuan, there are three Chinese scripts.

After reading it, Tang Shuxuan felt that Yin Jun's writing was not bad, at least it was easy to understand, as for the context or something, then don't be too particular.

As a newbie, it's really okay.

Yin Jun told her about the characteristics of the three scripts and the heights they can reach.

Tang Shuxuan's first decision was to shoot this super classic that can be used for 20 years - "Happy Hotel".

As a result, when he was still preparing, Tang Shuxuan encountered a problem.

"What?"

Tang Shuxuan looked at Perez in front of him, and couldn't wait to slap him.

"Our five TV drama directors were all poached, and you came to tell me after they handed in their resignation letters?" Tang Shuxuan said angrily, "What do I want you for?"

Perez also looked bitter, "How do I know, president, I'm just here, I've been sorting out relationships, and cleaning up assets and liabilities, where can I have time to take care of all this? According to me, it's all the Disney family's ghosts, if it weren't for their cooperation with outsiders to poach each other, how could all five of them leave?"

Tang Shuxuan nodded when he heard this, Perez said the same, he has been very busy recently, Disney and United Arts Film Company are taking care of it, and people have lost a lot of weight.

If it's really the people of the Disney family who are making trouble, with their deep connections and influence, there is really no way to stop it.

It's just that now is not the time to hold accountable, but to see how to solve the problem.

"You said that now we go outside to find a director and a production company, can we find a good one?" Tang Shuxuan asked again.

A hint of hesitation flashed on Perez's face, but he still said it: "President, I have also asked about this matter. The best production companies out there have all turned me down, and they all said that they don't have time to produce other people's TV series recently...... But as far as I know, it's the big Hollywood giants who are putting pressure on them. For example, Time Warner, Universal Group, etc., are all media giants. ”

"Hmph, this is trying to make us die!" Tang Shuxuan said to himself.

Perez didn't dare to answer, but he thought so in his heart.

He now regrets jumping out so early, and the joint pressure of the six Hollywood giants is really not so easy to accept.

Once the Kirin Group can't hold on to it and leaves at a loss, no matter who takes over, his life will not be easy.

Of course, this also prompted him to have no way back, so he could only follow Tang Shuxuan all the way to the end.

"If it really doesn't work, there are many small and medium-sized production companies in the United States that can also produce good TV series. Perez handed over a document, "I have more than 20 production companies here, they are small and not very susceptible to the influence of Hollywood giants, if they take the job, they can still complete the task." ”

"Not necessarily. Tang Shuxuan shook his head, "They can start before the production starts, are you sure they won't start during the production process?" For example, when it is the most critical, suddenly there is a little situation over there, they break the contract and do not shoot, or the director and actors leave directly...... Can we bear the consequences?"

Perez gasped, and wanted to refute Tang Shuxuan, but his face still changed: "Then what should we do?"

"No, I'm the only one here. Tang Shuxuan thought about it and made up his mind.

"What are you talking about, what are you doing?" Perez didn't hear clearly.

"I'm a director, and I know the United States so well, so there shouldn't be much of a problem in making such a TV series. Tang Shuxuan said, "They poached our director, but Disney's own production team is still there, so let's do it ourselves! I don't believe it, with such a good script as Yin Jun, can it still be difficult for them to be troubled by this group of waste?"

Perez had nothing to say.

The president has decided to go down in person, so is he still going to stop him? If he doesn't go on himself?

Definitely not.

So he could only nod, "If you insist on this, I will take care of all the logistics." ”

Tang Shuxuan looked at him, "This time, you must not make a mistake." Otherwise the consequences you should know. ”

"If I make another mistake, I'll resign myself. Perez gritted his teeth.

"Alright, I'll give you the first task. Tang Shuxuan handed him a piece of information, "This is the requirement of the actors of the TV series, you go and select the right person for me, and I will personally interview and decide." ”

"Yes!"

Perez took the list and nodded solemnly.

Regardless of whether Tang Shuxuan can do it or not, since she has to do it, then her own work must be done well.

"Also, you prepare a new contract for me. Tang Shuxuan also remembered Yin Jun's advice, "The actor of this TV series, we must sign a contract for 15 years, who doesn't want to, then you don't have to bring him to me." ”

"Huh, so long?" Perez said in surprise, "This will put a lot of pressure on us! Such a long contract, without good conditions, others will not want to sign." ”

"Who told you to find famous actors?" Tang Shuxuan said, "This drama can be popular, not relying on well-known actors to make popular dramas!

"This ...... Alright!"

Perez can only choose to obey, Tang Shuxuan is the president of the North American branch of Kirin Group, and when she wants to make a TV series, no one can stop her decision.

15 years is 15 years, anyway, there are many long-term contracts like this in Hollywood.

As long as there is a chance to become famous, the thousands of fledgling young actors will not care about the length of the contract!
