Text Chapter 45: First audition for an American TV series

Previous page        Return to Catalog        Next page

    What Wang Huan told Natalie about the American TV series last time was of course true, but he did not want to copy that American TV series, but wanted to create something of his own. Among American TV series, he preferred criminal investigation ones, and several of them  His favorite is those related to psychology, including Psychic Detective, Don¡¯t Lie to Me, and Criminal Psychology. Unfortunately, the protagonist of Don¡¯t Lie to Me was made too annoying, and in the end the ratings were insufficient.  It¡¯s cut in half, but the micro-expressions of the human body are really attractive!

    Wang Huan has reached the point where he no longer needs to plagiarize to make money and become famous. At this point, he has begun to want to make his own achievements so that he can be worthy of his life. He has a very strong understanding of American TV series and has watched tens of thousands of hours.  American TV series, so it is not a dream to integrate and create the American TV series in your own mind.

    One of the biggest characteristics of American TV dramas is that there should be enough characters and the characteristics of the characters should be very full. This is basically the case for American TV dramas that are more than five or six years old. The more outstanding four or five characters can be, the more brilliant the time will be.  The longer it is, if a team of six or seven people can make the audience unforgettable, then it can be made into an American TV series for more than ten years. Among the American TV series currently broadcast, Wang Huan has only discovered a few TV series that have the potential to reach that level, including  Bones and Naval Crime, etc. Of course, this is from the category he likes the most. I can't say for sure about other categories.

    Although there need to be many characters, they should not be so numerous that the audience has no time to like them. For example, the once-popular Super Hero TV series, although it was very exciting, had too many characters.  In the end, it became too long-winded. In the end, there were so many characters that the audience had no time to get to know them. Due to various reasons, it was cut in half in the fifth season, so we must avoid this problem.  Half of the reason why the hero was cut in half was because of the screenwriter's wrong direction. This was the chief screenwriter's mistake.

    Wang Huan¡¯s idea is to use the framework of Criminal Minds as a reference and then re-create a more attractive team. Wang Huan¡¯s only complaint about the TV series Criminal Minds is that the team is not charming enough and does not have a team leader with the same backbone.  , just like Gibbs in Naval Criminal Investigation. Naval Crime without Gibbs is equivalent to missing more than half of its soul.

    Generally, the protagonists of American TV series are white men and some are women.  Unless it was specifically filmed for black people and it was a comedy, there were very few black protagonists. Even in the era of Wang Huan's rebirth, the first TV series with Asian protagonists appeared, and the only two TV series were both female.  One Nikita and one basic interpretation. Nikita is the only protagonist, and the basic interpretation is the heroine. TV dramas with male Asian protagonists. Wang Huan remembers that Sammo Hung once acted in one, but it ended miserably.  The screenwriter is so incompetent that I have no choice but to let Sammo Hung have a mouth!  Although Tang Jili is the director, the TV series relies on the script, and the protagonist is portrayed too perfectly.  How can a European and American be like a perfect Asian protagonist?

    Wang Huan does not intend to challenge the unspoken rules of the American people this time. A white male protagonist in his forties is a must.  But he can add Chinese characters.

    The first is the male protagonist. After Wang Huan set this man up, he subconsciously directed him towards Gibbs, the protagonist of naval crimes.  He is a real man and a pure man, and he is a man who is usually cold-faced but complains from time to time. He cares and loves his subordinates as much as a family. Wang Huan thinks that Gibbs is definitely the best character in American TV series for nanny and calf protector.  Out to the right.

    Anyway, even if the TV show Navy Crime is going to appear, it will still be three years away, not to mention that it may not happen yet. I have to get Mark Harmon first. CBS has offended him, so I will try to steal your corner.

    Now Mark Harmon doesn't have any TV series to accept. Although his performance in The West Wing is brilliant, he is not a starring role, which will not delay things at all. Moreover, his role will not be available for two years, so Wang Huan first finalized his role as  Starring in the role of a leader, as a leader, his talents in criminal psychology are not as specialized and powerful as those of his subordinates, but he has good standards in all types. The important thing is that he is a tough guy and a  Wang Huan is a retired Air Force pilot. He doesn't plan to get him a retired Navy sniper or something. If he does, he will be even more awesome.

    Next, what Wang Huan plans to arrange is a genius character, who is a mixture of black and Indian, or both. He has unparalleled role-playing ability for criminals, can perfectly stand in the criminal's psychological thinking, and has a high accuracy rate.  He is scary and is often the first person in the team to catch criminals, but socially he is a complete idiot. Wang Huan plans to give him the characteristics of several famous social idiots, such as Bones.  The missing heroine analyzes things completely with scientific logic, plus some of the characteristics of Shenard from The Big Bang Theory, including mysophobia and obsessive-compulsive disorder. A few words can make people half-popular.

      Then there is the Chinese character, who is good at boxing and kicking, and has a strong ability to observe micro-expressions. No lie can be hidden from his eyes. He grew up in the circus since he was a child. He is extremely skilled and has super-sensory abilities due to his performance.  He has an incredible ability to control others. In this regard, he often competes with his black partner in bets. This character is the protagonist of the enhanced version of the super-sense detective.

    Then there are two female characters, one is a Latina girl with a hot temper and an equally hot body. I am talking about her nationality or mixed race. She also has extraordinary skills and superb marksmanship. As a federal agent sent by the FBI to cooperate with them, finally  In order to arrange for a white intellectual beauty to appear as an expert in children and women's psychology.

    ¡°Then we are arranging a computer expert with a PhD from MIT who is also white and a geek. Wang Huan plans to make him based on the character of McGee from the Naval Criminal Investigative Service.

    Finally, there is a gothic-style fat girl who is a forensic doctor and forensic evidence. This is of course the Abby in Naval Criminal Investigative Service. In terms of team personality and character creation, Naval Criminal Investigative Service is definitely the strongest, no one else, at least Wang  Huan thinks so. In terms of team charm, Bones can compete, but it is still weaker than the Navy Crime team.  As for the several CSI teams, Wang Huan thinks they are all far behind. Of course, this is all his personal opinion, but God and earth cannot control what he likes.  This American drama is created for the best team in his mind, and his objections are ineffective.

    He thought over and over again and fleshed out the characters, and finally formed the five main characters, plus two minor characters to form this team. Mikey and Abby have fewer appearances than the other five, but they will be particularly outstanding.  , even better than the two technical characters in Navy Crime Los Angeles, which is perfect.

    As for the plot, American dramas always advocate the approach of two lines running in parallel.  The main plot is hidden in the story of a season. It appears in the last episode or two, and then leaves a suspense at the end. It can be said to end or continue.  This is in preparation for being cut in half. The rule of American dramas is to continue filming as long as they are popular enough. If there is no popularity, no matter how many applauds there are, there is no way. For example, take the famous science fiction drama Firefly. Wang Huan personally believes that the world construction of Firefly  Very charming.  If some features can be explored deeper and better, it might not be cut in half. However, the cost of science fiction dramas is so high that it is inevitable to be cut in half once the popularity is insufficient.  He plans to make a movie first and then talk about a TV series, but that will be a few years later.  He planned to shoot the movie in 3D before Avatar did.  In this regard, he has novels as reference, and the success rate is extremely high.

    But for the Criminal Investigation Department TV series, Wang Huan does not plan to follow the route of one case per episode like ordinary criminal investigation TV series. He plans to have two or three criminals in one season, and each of them will have to do at least ten cases each.  One of them can be considered as a mini-BOSS. He originally planned to give up the suspense and learn from Rensaburo Furuga to reveal who the criminal was at the beginning, and then divide each episode into two parts, the team's investigation and the criminal's  The psychological description and behavior allow both parties to influence and overlap each other to form this story. This aspect is not without precedent. If it is done well, it will be very exciting, but if it is not done well, it will be extremely messy, which will ruin the TV series.

    Later I thought, this approach is too risky, so I might as well learn from Japanese mystery animations. The criminal will not show his true face, but just use various shooting techniques to show his various behaviors. It can create a sense of humor without using too bloody scenes.  The scary atmosphere, if it really succeeds, this TV series will definitely not be suitable for children!

    As for the case, Wang Huan plans to innovate by referring to cases from these American dramas, mainly referring to the famous cases of serial killings of human beings in the United States. There are many such cases in the United States, and with the addition of European ones, it would not be unusual to adapt them well.  The difficult thing is how to show the true perversions of these cases and criminals to the audience, and make them be wary of similar people.

    In short, this script is enough to keep him busy. Generally speaking, the first season does not shoot too many episodes. Wang Huan has to prepare a script for twenty episodes, but it is common for ten episodes to be used as a test. Although Wang Huan is very confident,  But Fox TV executives also have to consider and worry about it. Anyway, the ratings and influence are high, and there will be no pressure to continue filming subsequent stories.

    For the first case, Wang Huan plans to start with the most exciting and destructive serial bombing case. Although there is no famous case to refer to, he has seen too many cases. He can come up with good cases by referring to them. First of all,  The murderer is a fanatical anarchist, and his targets are mainly government- and military-related. But the trouble is that he is not limited to objects. They can be buildings or some important government personnel and military personnel. The pattern of explosions is also  There are many, timed explosions, remote control explosions, and even human bombs, which are extremelyCrazy and arrogant.

    Wang Huan plans to make four episodes of this case. The target of the first episode is that the other party wants to blow up the president. It is quite similar to the approach of the first episode of Navy Crime, where the target is to target the president's Air Force One. This gimmick is extremely  Powerful enough to attract the curiosity of American audiences.

    However, the difficulty is also extremely high. Wang Huan began to form a team of writers for this TV series. Criminal Minds attaches great importance to the power of screenwriters. If such a TV series is replaced by female editors, it will be ruined. There are too many cute ones.  Emotional dramas and the like will only ruin this type of TV series. Wang Huan felt that he couldn't stand it after the evil force replaced the female screenwriter. He really didn't like it. Even if it was an American drama, he had no love for emotional TV series, let alone  He doesn't like American dramas or Korean dramas that focus on emotional dramas without letting go.

    The first thing he looked for was a psychology professor at Harvard University. It was not just a first-come-first-served idea.  You must know that Harvard's psychology major is ranked third in the United States. That is not a boast. Although criminal psychology is not their specialty, they can still provide a lot of help.  The professor he was looking for was Professor Robert who he attended the last class.

    Professor Robert looked at the script with great interest. Naturally, he had heard of Wang Huan's reputation. As the only billionaire student currently studying at Harvard and a billionaire international student, the school still attaches great importance to Wang Huan, not just money.  Huan is also very famous. Not everyone can win the Oscar for Best Screenplay as the youngest winner. Wang Huan is also a leader in top universities like Harvard.  An absolute celebrity student.

    Wang Huan¡¯s script is very brilliant, and the characters are even more interesting. You must know that Wang Huan has now discovered the magical function of the computer in his brain. As long as there is enough information, it will be a script novel.  He can synthesize videos, which is amazing!  You can see the works in his imagination without filming. It can be done in animation, movies and TV shows. This is very conducive to the completion of his works during real shooting, and it also makes his scripts have a strong appeal.  Let people feel the effect of the lens.  If you are an experienced director, you can completely imagine this shot in your mind.

    Professor Robert is also a person with rich imagination. He was also moved by the excitement of the script. He quickly read the outline of the first case and quickly made some professional mistakes.  Then he gave him a detailed introduction to the most crazy behaviors that anarchists can show, but he still suggested that the other party should contact the professors at the FBI Academy established by the FBI in Quantico.  The other party is the most suitable criminal psychology expert, and they are the most suitable consultants.

    Wang Huan also nodded in agreement.  He had planned this for a long time, but it was difficult to contact him. He just happened to use Professor Robert's relationship to contact him. He was looking for help from Fox TV. By then, he should be able to get a specially appointed expert consultant or something.

    After Wang Huan contacted Fox TV, their executives did not dare to neglect them. In terms of movies, some people can question the power of screenwriters, because the effect of the same script shot by a top director and a third-rate director may be earth-shaking, but TV dramas will not.  , as long as the director strictly follows the script, no matter how bad it is, it won't be that bad. It would be better if he can improvise and create sparks of inspiration with the screenwriter, but not doing so will not make a good TV series script bad.

    So they understand the concept of an Oscar-level screenwriter's script. It's rare that the other party is willing to contribute to the small screen. It would be a fool not to catch such a character. If it weren't for the cooperation with the main group, they would  Can you get such a good opportunity?

    Especially when they saw the script and learned what type of TV series it was, they were ecstatic. They must know that most of the good crime investigation TV series are owned by CBS. The CSI series, the king of crime TV series, is their treasure.  , and in the future there will be Naval Criminal Investigative Service, Psychic, Digital Murderer, etc., but Wang Huan seems to have caught up with Fox TV later, including Bones, etc., which are all quite brilliant.

    As a wireless TV station that aspires to replace one of the three major wireless TV stations and become a top wireless TV station, it is very important for them to get a few good TV series. How much have Friends and CIS strengthened NBC and CBS respectively?  It¡¯s hard to calculate!  ABC has Grey's Anatomy, Desperate Housewives, and Lost. These are all ace shows, and Fox TV must have its own ace TV series, otherwise there is no hope of replacing them and becoming one of them.

    In Wang Huan's memory, Fox also has good TV series, such as The Simpsons, but they are animations, and the real ace TV series is still insufficient. The end of Doctor House has left medical dramas gone, and the loss of Prison Break is a heavy blow. It is a pity.  What¡¯s more, Prison Break is not a genre that can be filmed for more than ten years. If it can be filmed reluctantly, it is not as happy as the end of one or two seasons. The criminal investigation genre relies on Bones, and the sitcom also relies on Bones.American Dad and the Funny Family, and it doesn't seem to be a good long-running show. The X-Files ended and was on the verge of becoming a half-hit show. The biggest trump card is American Idol.

    In this life, they still have American idols. Wang Huan feels that this is probably the beginning of cooperation between Murdoch's News Corporation and him, but they don't have other good dramas. Wang Huan doesn't plan to make Prison Break. This one  If the Criminal Psychiatric Investigation Division can become the ace, it would be a good start.

    Wang Huan's current idea is to own part of the shares of Fox Film Company and have a certain say in Fox TV. He is still talking about whether he can acquire it in the future, but he is very optimistic about this TV station. It depends on the bargaining chip with Murdoch in the future.  Enough is enough.

    The top management of Fox are now unanimously optimistic about this TV series, not only because of Wang Huan, but also because of their screenwriters, who have formed a strong editorial team. They have now begun to look for actors, and they have also given the list of actors given by Wang Huan.  I don¡¯t object much. Anyway, the casting director Wang Huan needs to communicate with the director before the decision can be made, so it won¡¯t be completely messed up.

    ¡°With all your hard work, let me create the most luxurious lineup of American TV series!¡± ()
