Chapter 424 Expensive Episode (Earth)

"My Lady, this is Shen."

Zoroaster introduced the Heroic Spirit in front of Lilith to Lilith.

The place is at the "William Triton Tank Research Institute", before "William Triton" was a personal name, the name of a mad scientist, and now it has become a place name, because just two hours ago, this mad scientist The "legend" in the past has been blown up to the sky by this heroic spirit named "Shen".

It really blew up.

Zoroast watched William Triton, who was integrated with the tank, be cut in two from the center, the first half smashed through the roof and was thrown into the air, and finally turned into a star in the sky, and The back half of him hit the wall and bounced back, turning into a strange wriggling mass of rotting steel.

A young man in a strange yellow military uniform who rescued the people in Suo Roast at the critical moment said that his name was "Shen Shuigen" and he came to protect the Virgin.

Zoroast judged that Shen was a heroic spirit, because during the conversation, he found that he had the memory of another world.

"You came from the original world? Do you recognize Truman?" Lilith asked.

"Report to the chief!" Shen saluted Lilith with a strange salute, as if he believed that Lilith would lead him, "I don't know Truman! I came from mainland China in 1950!"

Oh... Lilith nodded, a little disappointed, but she knew that the source world was full of mysteries. It was a huge world composed of different time and space fragments. Even if a piece of paper fell into this world, it would become a world full of The existence of power, so this situation is also normal.

"Brother Shen, do you know the great leader?" Zhuge Liang asked Shen.

Shen was slightly puzzled.

"It's okay, it's just that brother Suo got a decree some time ago, saying that Trumen might send a leader from the source world who can lead the world out of the haze. I thought it meant brother Shen, but it seems that brother Shen is more proficient in fighting." Zhuge Liang said, "Perhaps that great leader is not in the same 'era' as Brother Shen."

With Zhuge Liang's wisdom, he already has some understanding of the forms of the two worlds. Although limited by the knowledge structure, he cannot clearly describe them, but the basic philosophical speculation is what he has been doing in his heart.

The word 'era' was also conceived by Zhuge Liang. The source world is huge and contains thousands of eras. The heroes of each era can fall into another world and become a heroic spirit. Zhuge Liang's own era is different from Shen's. Times, obviously, were different.

"Sir, I know someone who can be called a 'great leader'." Shen Que said, "I was thinking just now, whether the person Mr. Zhuge asked is the leader of this war or the leader of the entire country."

oh?Zhuge Liang asked with great interest: "Who should be the leader who can save the world?"

"Then there is only one person," Shen said.

Zhuge Liang noticed that when Shen uttered these words, his chest puffed up, and his eyes were full of pride, as if just this name could bring him thousands of honors.

If you can train fighters to such an extent, you should be a generation of heros, right?Zhuge Liang thought.

……

Earth.

When they learned that Truman's latest creative direction was a war-themed TV series, several major movie studios who were used to cooperating with Truman were puzzled.

The theme of war... is still a TV series, which is not uncommon. In the past, there were "Garrison's Death Squad", "Band of Brothers", "Pacific War" and so on. Recently, there was also "Navy Seal Commando" produced by CBS in 2017. The ratings were still low. Yes, we have already filmed the seventh season.

But filming a TV series with mainland soldiers as the protagonists, and almost every episode has a different protagonist... TV dramas are not like movies, a one-shot deal.

TV series must be able to attract mainstream viewers sitting in front of the sofa, and the current mainstream TV audience in North America is young and middle-aged people aged 30 to 60, who are less educated and have a strong sense of national pride. , this theme is obviously not the kind that can attract mainstream audiences under the research and judgment of several major film manufacturers.

In addition, the sales of TV dramas are actually a one-off sale. It can only be sold to TV stations at one time. Even if the price is high, the possibility of further profit will be lost.

With Truman's current career trend and audience influence, why do you want to shoot a TV series?Whether it is a superhero theme like "Shang Qi 2" or a war theme like "Blood Battle on the Eagle Peak", it will be an option that people are flocking to.

"Refused?" Truman was surprised.

"Yes." After observing Truman's expression, Adam realized that Truman was obviously not surprised, and he would also be rejected by the film studio one day, "Disney, Universal and Time Warner are not willing to invest in your new TV series, they all think TV dramas featuring a group of Chinese fighters will not be liked by audiences."

"Then what should we do?" Truman asked, "Give up this idea?"

"That would be the best!" Adam said immediately, "You can direct another war-themed movie like "Blood on the Vulture Peak", and they are all willing to invest!"

"But if I can only make one movie a year, how many years will I have to shoot to gather an army..." Truman murmured.

"Clint Eastwood can take the lead tube to 96 years old, and you have 70 years left, you can make as many movies as you want." Adam said.

Truman thought for a while and said, "I still want to make a TV series. We can invest in it ourselves."

Now Truman's expression is like a child who is unwilling to lose candy. Adam shook his head and said: "There is no problem with investment. The cost of a series is much lower than that of a movie, but how to distribute it? I have consulted with CBS, NBC and other TV series, and they also I'm not interested in movies of this kind."

"It can be sold to the sixth princess." Ting Jun said suddenly.

"To whom?" Adam didn't understand.

"Television stations in mainland China." Ting Jun said, "They will buy it. I have received emails from Six Princesses asking if we would like to sell them film copyrights. If it is a TV series, talk to them, and they should be willing to buy it. of."

"How much can they pay?" Adam asked, "CH, tell me how much does your TV show cost per episode?"

"1000 million." Truman thought about it and said, war movies must cost more, otherwise it would be an anti-Japanese drama.

"1000 million RMB...is really a bit expensive." Ting Jun said.

"Is 1000 million dollars?" Adam asked Truman.

Truman nodded embarrassedly.

"Sorry to interrupt..." Ting Jun retreated silently.

With a cost of US$1000 million, dozens of anti-Japanese dramas can be filmed in China.

Obviously, the sixth princess would not buy a TV series at such a price, even if it was produced by Truman, not because she didn't want to buy it, but because she had no money.

"Let's talk to Netflix." Adam sighed when he saw this. "Only Netflix can buy and distribute your expensive TV series."
