"Talent show!" It is one of the most popular TV programs in the future.
America's Got Talent, Britain's Got Talent, China's Got Talent... Just from copyright sales alone, a company can amass significant wealth, no, it can generate hundreds of millions of dollars!
This ridiculous system often remains inactive, but when it does take action, the effect is monumental!
Indeed, Kyle had seen the Talent Show in his past life. As someone with ties to the entertainment industry, he was familiar with the selection criteria and the program's process, yet that knowledge alone didn't equip him to strategise for the "Talent Show." However, things were different now. He has many people who can do it after all he has money!
I'm exhausted, exhausted, exhausted!
Hundreds of millions in wealth!
Not just money, with the help of Talent shows he can also sign celebrities who will become famous in the future, for his company.
Just thinking about this an unconscious smile appeared on Kyle's face.
He immediately called His lawyer Paul and told him to secure the copyrights.
.....
The sun rises every day.
It's a new day again.
"Hard Candy", "Wrong Turn" and "Juno" are three films that are in the preparation stage at the same time. Now the post-production work of "Hard Candy" is about to be completed and the film is about to be completed; "Wrong Turn" has just finished filming; only "Juno" is still in production.
"What?"
"This guy Richard Linklater hasn't finalised the Juno script yet?!"
Kyle looked at CEO Victor in confusion.
"Yes, boss," Victor replied.
Suddenly, Kyle became more and more curious. In my opinion, Richard Linklater was very demanding on the script and was not the kind of quick shooter who could shoot a movie in a month, but he was not a slow shooter like Wong Kar-wai. Why was he so slow this time?
Immediately, Kyle and Victor walked out of the office and entered the company's screenwriting department.
The scene that caught my eye was Richard Linklater, the best director of the Berlin Film Festival, excitedly talking to a group of screenwriters.
"Guys, the script needs to be changed!"
"Yes, the script for Juno is great, that's true, I admit it and I agree with it, but it still has flaws."
"What? You ask me where the flaw is?!"
"Oh~, my God! I'm the director, and you are the professional screenwriters!"
"Okay, I'll say it."
"After a long period of reflection, I found that the original script of Juno, in addition to the flaws in the daily dialogue, lacked a grasp of the pulse of the times, and most importantly, lacked warmth."
"What warmth? Of course, it's the underage heroine's extremely conflicted and tangled psychology during her pregnancy, and the meticulous care given to her by her family. The laughter, scolding, fighting, anger, and quarrels between the lines are all aimed at enhancing the warmth of the entire film!"
The pulse of the times?
Warmth?
"I see."
The other screenwriters hadn't reacted yet, but Kyle had something on his mind.
The script of "Juno" was written by Kyle, who had also seen the finished film in his previous life. However, he had only seen it, and how could Kyle remember the dialogue between the lines?
At the same time, this film was originally released in 2007, but now it is only 1996. It should be noted that films of different periods reflect different era characteristics. If they are copied forcibly, they will not adapt to the local conditions and will greatly cause difficulties for the audience to watch the film.
For example, the movie "Shaolin Temple" was a classic in the 1980s and a popular movie loved by audiences. But if it were moved to 2020, would young audiences like it?
The answer is no!
For example, if the Hollywood blockbuster "Avengers" were released in the 1980s, would it have become a hit movie? The answer is yes! Because its extremely special effects will make people excited, how can it not have a high box office? However, the high technology shown in the film was extremely unfamiliar to the audience in the 1980s, which would cause great difficulties in watching the movie.
Therefore, the pulse of the times is very important.
Especially for a film like "Juno" that reflects on the story of an underage woman getting pregnant before marriage, which is closely related to the times, it has very high requirements for the characteristics of the times!
In 2007, unmarried pregnancy among underage women was a hot topic and the pulse of the times.
However, in 1996, the cinema market was still dominated by audiences who had not yet accepted the explosion of the Internet. Could they accept the situation of an underage and unmarried pregnancy?
Yes, but there definitely won't be many of them!
It may even be resisted by some people, especially families with children.
"Without topics and hot spots, and a large number of young people supporting us, how can we create a high box office?"
Kyle thought to himself: "As for the warmth shown in the film? Sorry, I can't doo it"
For a moment, Kyle was filled with sighs.
A famous director is a famous director, and it is indeed not simple.
The $1.2 million salary was not in vain!
In the following time, Kyle had a passionate chat with director Richard Linklater and then left with Victor.
When I entered CEO Victor's office again, I was interrupted before I started talking about work.
Sister Martha is coming in!
"Mr. Jones, uh... the boss is here too? That's great, so I don't have to notify him again."
"What is it, Martha?" Kyle asked.
Sister Martha said, "That's right, boss. I just confirmed with several theatre chains, and they are more inclined to release our film "Hard Candy" on July 19. I came here to ask about your decision."
