Kyle's decision to personally write the TV drama script was definitely not without reason!
Looking at the American TV drama market, it is an important industry chain that is not inferior to the Hollywood film market in terms of scale, output value, and even influence.
There are thousands of American TV series, but not many of them are classic and highly rated.
Or very little.
It is very difficult to expect to collect excellent TV drama scripts from external screenwriters or from the "blacklist" because Golden Dawn Entertainment Group cannot compete with TV giants such as ABC and NBC in terms of strength.
Why do you expect others to sell you excellent scripts?
Are you God?
Excellent scripts will never lack buyers!
Without going into details about TV giants like ABC, NBC, CBS, and FOX, countless excellent screenwriters personally come to their doors to hand over scripts to them; as for other second-tier TV stations, they also have dedicated people who are responsible for collecting excellent scripts at all times.
Basically, as soon as a good script comes out, it will be snatched up!
What can Kyle use to compete with them?
Headbutt?!
Moreover, considering the time aspect, it is not allowed at the moment.
Therefore, Kyle had to take charge personally.
"I watched quite a few American TV series in my past life, but putting them down on paper is difficult. TV series are different from movies. They are dozens of episodes long, and most of them are feature films that last for several or even more than ten seasons. Even if I racked my brain, I still couldn't fully recreate them."
"However, fortunately, I am not just a screenwriter!"
"I'm the boss of a film company!"
"The company employs dozens of talented screenwriters. I only need to provide a story outline and basic character settings, focusing on the main plot, and let the screenwriters fill in the side stories, action, dialogue, and other related plot points. Finally, I will definitely review it personally."
TV script under consideration...
The first principle, of course, is good quality and low price!
.....
When Kyle was in seclusion writing the script,
The outside world was in an uproar.
The second season of "America's Got Talent" is as exciting as the first season, but it has completely surpassed the first season in terms of sensation. The performances of the talents and geniuses have directly ignited the enthusiasm of the audience.
Carnival~!
American families, after dinner, at work, at school, and in other places, repeatedly discuss "someone" who is an outstanding talent contestant, and believe that "someone" can become the champion of this season.
Of course, the latest uploaded variety show, "Who Wants to Be a Millionaire", has also been welcomed by countless people.
"Knowledge changes destiny, wisdom creates wealth!"
This is a stage where everyone, regardless of age, skin color, job, or family, can win a million-dollar prize through their knowledge as long as they dare to challenge themselves.
During the trial broadcast period of "How to Be a Millionaire", it adopted a broadcast mode of one episode per day, which really made many people feel excited!
The ratings, market share, and social discussion are all rising steadily~!
Countless advertisers, manufacturers and well-known companies flocked in!
Coca-Cola representative: "We at Coca-Cola want to be the title sponsor, no matter how much it costs."
Pepsi representative: "We are not short of money. No matter how much Coca-Cola offers, we will always pay a higher price."
The General Motors representative said, "Ms. Donna, we are old friends. We have had a good cooperation with your company on the 'Got Talent' project. We can't abandon our old friends on this 'Millionaire'!"
Hundreds of American companies, large and small, came to compete to become the program's title sponsor and advertising space, each showing off their skills.
The price offered is very tempting!
Not only that, even large companies in Europe, South America, Asia and other places that are interested in expanding into the American market are willing to spend any amount of money to get an advertising spot.
A few days later.
On behalf of the "Who Wants to Be a Millionaire" program team, Ms. Donna, with the approval of the parent company's CEO Victor, finalized advertising contracts with 17 companies for a total of 58 million US dollars!
remember!
"A $58 million contract is not a one-year contract!"
Kyle learned the lesson of Disney, the North American production company of "Millionaire" in the original time and space, which exhausted all the resources. He does not plan to broadcast the show every year, nor does he plan to broadcast 3 to 5 episodes per week.
Frequent broadcasting will only make the audience bored and lose its sense of freshness.
In the original time and space, "How to Be a Millionaire", produced by Disney and broadcast by ABC TV, did not take these into consideration. In order to pursue ratings, profits and rising market value, they squeezed "How to Be a Millionaire" to the extreme.
Play all year round;
3~5 programs are broadcast every week;
The duration of each episode has increased from 1 hour to 2 hours, or even 4 hours;
Frequent production and broadcasting have resulted in the questions and answers in the question bank being lackluster and lacking in originality;
...
Due to various bad operations, the flagship program "Who Wants to Be a Millionaire" was discontinued after only three years of broadcasting.
It is not advisable to drain the pond to catch all the fish!
Therefore, Kyle's "Millionaire" program also adopted a seasonal broadcast format.
Each season lasts for 3 months;
2 programs are broadcast every week;
Two seasons are broadcast every year.
Even if a healthy broadcast method inevitably makes viewers lose interest in the show later on, its lifespan will be greatly extended. At least the five-year production rights that Golden Dawn Entertainment Group obtained from ITV are more than enough.
Of course, in the last year of the authorization, Kyle didn't mind broadcasting it all year round to fully squeeze out the value of "Millionaire".
Advertising fees of 58 million US dollars per season are really not low!
Furthermore, at the end of the second half of the year, advertising fees will be collected again for the second quarter, and the revenue will definitely not be less than $58 million.
After the media learned the news, they were completely shocked.
As for their television colleagues, they were furious, ashamed, and extremely jealous.
The copyright holder of "How to Be a Millionaire", the British ITV Broadcasting Company, is even more regretful - regretting that the price was too low!
Of course, the disturbances in the outside world cannot disturb Kyle at this moment.
Student Kyle is still in seclusion, working hard.
.....
June 15th.
After spending half a month, Kyle finally came out of isolation and set off for Golden Dawn Television Group with the scripts of four American TV series.
"The Big Bang Theory," "2 Broke Girls," "The Walking Dead," and "Prison Break."
"Boss, following your instructions, the 50 screenwriters mobilized from Page Pictures and the 35 screenwriters from WB Television Network and UPN Television Network have all arrived and are waiting for you in Conference Room 1," said Chief Assistant Alexander.
Kyle nodded, and then, under the protection of more than a dozen security team members, he went straight to Conference Room No. 1, which could accommodate 200 people.
