Text Chapter 48 The King of American Dramas (Part 2)

Previous page        Return to Catalog        Next page

    Wang Huan himself was mesmerized by it. After all, filming of movies and TV series is not done in order. Often scenes with several actors are shot in one go. Some have to watch the weather, and some scenes require special weather conditions.  Naturally, you have to film it first to avoid trouble. TV dramas are okay. The development of American TV dramas lies in their powerful computer special effects. Anything can be synthesized for you under the green screen. Wang Huan heard that you were performing indoors  , in the later stage, the scene of the actor in the car can be synthesized for you, and even the reflection can be done for you, let alone in places such as home and work. This is the power of high technology. Why did Wang Huan come to the United States to develop?  Why not just learn these things, buy them home and take them back? He has the money to burn and improve the standard of Chinese TV dramas on his own.

    Therefore, Wang Huan himself watched it intermittently, and he did not have much involvement in the later editing and synthesis. Although he watched it briefly, he can understand more things when watching it again, which is excellent for him.  Opportunities for learning and progress. After finishing the classic American TV series, he has to innovate when he has finished his old job. He has the confidence in this aspect, but he must keep up with his studies.  .

    The first episode of Criminal Minds showed the king's demeanor. This is the opinion given by Wang Huan. As a senior American drama fan, he will know how many seasons of some American dramas can be made after watching one episode. Of course  It specifically refers to the type of American TV series he likes. If it were replaced by Orange County Boys Basketball Brothers, he would be in trouble.

    The charm of the team is like a bottle of old wine that gets better and better with age. Wang Huan even has his own theory.  Just as idol teams have become the general trend, TV series with multiple characters are the key to longevity. Not only does the expansion of the audience allow every viewer to find their favorite type of character, but more importantly, there are more things to explore.  Well, it's not difficult to film a TV series with one or two characters supporting it for seven or eight seasons, but it's much more difficult to film a TV series for more than ten seasons. From this point of view.  Wang Huan feels that there are several similar TV series with only two people as partners, such as Super Sense Detective and Miao Thief Detective, which have insufficient potential. Miao Detective is slightly better but not much better. If you don't find a way to increase the number of people and expand the plot.  It¡¯s only ten seasons at most, but big teams like Navy and Bones can easily break through ten seasons without any pressure.

    Although it can be said that it is his own fallacy, it is not unreasonable.  For example, in the Naval Criminal Investigative Service, every character has a story that can be explored. The story of McGee secretly writing a novel and becoming a best-selling author can trigger an interesting story, and other people can more or less trigger it.  After several stories have been released, Gibbs, the boss, has a lot to discover. The same is true for Bones. Wang Huan thinks that Bones is better because it also includes several emotional scenes in it, and  It's less boring and more interesting. The navy aspect is just a little ambiguous and lacks enough highlights.

    Wang Huan said that for the team of the Criminal Psychology Investigation Department, the emotional drama should not affect the main story.  The love between each other should be sincere and interesting. Don't make annoying love triangles or polyamorous things, which will take the spotlight. Each person's background story must be explored to the limit, and new characters must be introduced.  These characters may not appear often, but they can all bring certain stories, such as their families and the like. The Navy does this very well, and the same goes for Bones. These are common techniques.  But it's very effective.

    As the first broadcast, Criminal Investigation Bureau aired two episodes in a row, which brought great benefits. Many viewers were already very anxious after watching the two episodes. It is rare for American crime-solving dramas to fail to solve a case in consecutive episodes.  Yes, why is jailbreak so popular?  The main reason is its compact and extremely tense storyline, which makes people want to stop and get excited. Once this is lost, Prison Break will lose its greatest charm. It is for this reason that Wang Huan planned several episodes of one case.  , so that the audience has enough hunger and expectation, and can use online interaction to stimulate the audience's sense of participation. This sense of satisfaction is by no means comparable to that of American dramas that have one case per episode.

    The concept of psychology has always been mysterious. For many Americans, it is incredible if you have never seen a psychiatrist in your life. Of course, this statement is bullshit in the eyes of conservative Americans.  But I have to admit that psychology has gradually become a recognized and very useful science, among which criminal psychology is the most mysterious pearl. This is the first time in the United States that someone has filmed a related TV series. Wang  Huan knows that the first one to eat crabs is always the most successful, such as The Big Bang Theory. At first, he was strongly opposed by people because of the failure of idiots and freaks, but what happened next?  Everyone loves science, loves Shenard, and loves geek culture to death.

    Now the audience has seen that psychology is so interesting and not as boring as they imagined. It is more of a knowledge of controlling people. Wang Huan learned his lessonThere is no such aggressive approach as in "Don't Lie to Me". After all, people all have desires, and it is taboo to peek into other people's hearts. The practice of constantly looking into people's hearts is actually a violation of their most valued desires.  It¡¯s free, that¡¯s how Wang Huan analyzed it, otherwise the novelty of Don¡¯t Lie to Me would never have been finished in just two seasons.

    For Americans, their understanding of psychology is not particularly high compared to other countries. The degree of conservatism and ignorance of many Americans is absolutely shocking. Don¡¯t think that because their economy is strong and the quality of their citizens is high, they have nothing to do.  I don¡¯t know, they are not as good as Asians in terms of common sense, and the biggest influence of this TV series is that as long as you are human, your mind is no longer as safe as you think. Human beings are all curious, and they  It is instinctive to want to know this kind of knowledge, whether it is to protect one's own soul or to peek into other people's souls. Wang Huan can fully imagine how many more people in the United States will try to guess other people's hearts the next day.

    Thinking of the music ringtone on his cell phone, Wang Huan took out his cell phone. He believed that it was impossible for the United States to have the same music ringtone as his.

    "Mr. Hawke, I hope what you bring is good news." Wang Huan said with a smile.

    "Of course! Of course my dear Wang. Although we can't get the final statistics yet, 20 million, God! 20 million is still too low. You know, Wang, God! It has already reached 20 million in the second episode.  Eighteen million, and Fox Television has the utmost respect for having a great collaborator like you."

    Wang Huan smiled and said to everyone: "Guys. The second episode has a viewership of 28 million, we succeeded! Cheers!"

    Wu Yanzu and others paused for a moment, then looked at each other with expressions of disbelief on their faces.  Then everyone became ecstatic. What does this result mean?  They couldn't be more clear, if they could keep it.  This is definitely a number that can rival or even surpass CSI. They will soon have the prospect of being as popular as the leading actors in Friends. This is not a boast. Even if they cannot reach that level, it will greatly expand their acting careers.  The rise is unquestionable.

    "Oh oh oh! Frankie is so cool!" The black boy shouted. Among these actors, he is the least famous. Even Daniel Wu is the best in Asia, and he has the greatest pressure and hopes.  Wang Huan's famous title of Hand of God was his greatest expectation. It was for this reason that he agreed and was even overjoyed.  He succeeded, he put in all the efforts for this TV series, oh my god!  Oh my God!  He felt like he was going to heaven.

    As young people, they can shout as much as they want to vent their excitement, but Mark Harmon will not do this, but it can be seen from his clenched fists that this handsome white-haired uncle is not a saint without excitement.  .

    "Oh my god! Oh my god!" Daniel Wu was too happy to say complete words.  He has always dreamed of becoming a real Hollywood actor, and becoming the next Bruce Lee was his dream, but this dream was ruthlessly shattered by his accent, and now he seems to see the possibility of his dream coming true.

    The next morning in the United States came again, and it seemed to be no different from the United States as usual, in Brooklyn, New York.  A group of fifteen or sixteen-year-old children were chattering and making noise on the school bus, just like usual. The school bus also stopped at various gathering points to let the waiting children get on the bus. Uncle Tom was driving the bus day after day.  That's what one day does.

    "Good morning Uncle Tom."

    "Good morning, little Tommy." Uncle Tom looked at little Tommy getting in the car and said with a smile. This black boy got along well with him because he was really smart. He was not only good at sports but also had a good mind. His grades could make  He chose a truly excellent university. This is a very good plan. As a black man, this is the best way to change his destiny.

    "Oh! Uncle Tom, the poached eggs you had in the morning look delicious!" Tommy said suddenly.

    "Hey! Do you know the poached eggs I ate?" Uncle Tom was surprised.

    "Oh! Are you surprised? It looks real. Don't forget to wipe off the egg yolk on your clothes next time!"

    At this time, the teenagers on the school bus burst out laughing. They shouted: "Oh! Tommy, your imitation is so bad. You are far from Daniel Wu. Can you be considered a master of super-sensory skills?"

    That's right, countless people across the United States subconsciously observe details such as their clothes and fingers after meeting their friends, colleagues, and classmates. There are also people who are observing other people's faces in an attempt to capture the legendary micro-expressions, and even more  Some people use psychology to analyze other people, and all kinds of embarrassing things are happening all over the place. This has simply become the most popular behavior that day, on Twitter and in videos.On the Internet, this behavior is even more overwhelming, and there is no way. The forensic things of CSI are not accessible to ordinary people, but psychology is different. Individuals can try it as long as they want to, and get great satisfaction, even if it is  Pranks are fun, right?

    This trend has spread across the United States. The American humor is vividly displayed in this aspect. Various talk shows have imitated it. They use professionalism to explain the micro-expressions of politicians who are not pleasing to the eye. Many classics  The picture appeared, just in time for the 2000 US election. Bush and Gower were quarreling with each other. As a result, Bush and Gower soon appeared on the picture in their speeches, and they were continuously captured in various ways.  Micro-expressions, and then let experts interpret them, that¡¯s a joke!  What contempt!  Sneer!  Disdainful!  Angry!  Ignore it!  As cute as you want!

    Wang Huan felt that these people were really talented. Don¡¯t lie to me at first and just used the expressions of some famous people from the past.  But these people just made fun of George W. Bush. This man with unlimited IQ and moral integrity just treated it as entertainment for the public, which made me laugh so hard.

    Every week that followed, the popularity of the Criminal Psychology Bureau slowly increased, and team members began to reveal their life stories. Everyone had unknown secrets, and they also had many secrets. Boss Ji  Why did Booth get divorced five times?  What happened to him that made him spend every day building boats in his basement?

    The influence of this TV series has been comparable to that of CSI.  No media will continue to say that CSI is the king and the Criminal Investigation Department is just mediocre. A new king has emerged to challenge the old king. This is the way to go!  This topic is much hotter than that one.

    But some media are curious.  Is it true that Wang Huan said that if 30 million people watch it, a new sitcom will be created?  Even the top executives of Fox TV have this question. If it is true, they will definitely take it down without hesitation. After all, sitcoms have a very high status in the United States.  And the cost is very low, it is easy to make a lot of money.

    Wang Huan originally wanted to show The Big Bang Theory, but then he thought that geek culture has not yet reached its peak. Without a sufficient mass base, it is difficult to get high ratings, so he might as well show Two and a Half Men.  .

    Wang Huan's love for Two and a Half Men is not particularly high. In fact, he only likes the American sitcom The Big Bang Theory, and doesn't like the other ones very much. After all, a lot of the humor in them comes from American culture.  Most of them are incomprehensible, just like asking foreigners to immediately understand the humor in Chinese culture.  It's too difficult.

    So he is very successful. The most important thing is that he only has the first three and a half seasons of Two and a Half Men on his computer. He has nothing to do later, let alone success.

    After thinking for a long time, Wang Huan couldn't figure out how to solve this problem.  He searched over and over in his computer for inspiration, and finally he found an inspiration. This inspiration did not come from other sitcoms. After all, there were only a few sitcoms in his computer.

    Later, Wang Huan discovered a suitable TV series, that is, the famous "High School Musical" and the Glee Club, which had the same purpose as him.

    "High School Musical" was originally a Disney Channel TV movie, so it was easy to use it as the main story line.  Glee is a very suitable show. Wang Huan plans to focus on the story line of Glee and add elements from High School Musical. A sitcom with sunny youth and high humor as its selling points has emerged. Among them  There's also plenty of music and dancing to add to the selling point, which is undoubtedly very appropriate for today's sitcoms.

    Wang Huan spent a certain amount of time producing this script. He did not need to compose songs. He only needed to write down the style of music needed somewhere. If there is a suitable music choice, just find the musician directly.

    However, what Wang Huan was thinking about was whether to follow the style of Glee, which does not require beauties and handsome boys. Instead, it should be composed of students who are not very good-looking and are famous for being weird in school. Later, he thought about having them all. Freaks can shock people with their singing, handsome boys and beautiful girls.  It can also attract a certain amount of ratings, but it just needs to be balanced and measured, what is the selling point, what is the main line, and don't be messy.

    The national competition is the most suitable main line. The ending of each season of the year is to challenge the national competition. Success and failure, passionate spirit, beautiful singing. In short, this musical sitcom must be very interesting.

    This is what Wang Huan said to the Fox executives. Just four weeks later, the Criminal Investigation Department finally reached the peak of 30 million. Because this episode was the episode where the bomb maniac was arrested, the ratings were naturally astonishing, and it was watched all over the United States.  I looked at it with side eyes. You must know that 30 million is just a step. Very few can reach it. If it can be maintained, it will definitely be a miracle.Wang Huan also honored Chen Nuo and took out the script. Although no one bet with him, he kept his word and the script was ready. However, the response was not as high as expected. No one was optimistic about the script. For them, singing and dancing  TV movies have been out of date for too long. There are no classics after Dead Poets Society became popular. It is really difficult for Wang Huan to inspire their courage if they want to go against the grain.

    Wang Huan sneered. He didn't intend to beg the other party. Who was he?  It's just a sitcom that he can produce solely by himself without any pressure. If you don't order it and wait for me to produce it, you may not be able to sell it.

    Wang Huan thought about it and decided to make High School Musical first and bring musical movies back to everyone, so that the American generation born in the 1980s would have their own classic musical movie. This is the general trend and no one can stop it. I will beg you when the time comes.  I own more than just the Fox TV station. How dare you look down on me?  Don't think that I have to rely on you Fox. If it weren't for Murdoch's sake, who would I sell?

    Soon, the Screen Actors Guild of America received a request from Wang Huan. He wanted to select actors for a new movie, including male and female leads. The name of the movie was High School Musical, the Movie!
