"Ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhah

David was really choked by his saliva. He was too shocked and too surprised that he couldn't organize his language, and then he coughed more and more severely.

"Relax, relax!" Lan Li's eyes were soothing with a smile, "Don't think about it in your mind, nothing happens yet."

David breathed heavily, finally letting the cough smooth out, but the doubt still couldn't be eliminated, "...what happened just now?"

After a thousand words, David finally chose such a question to express his doubt.

Lan Li pursed the corner of his mouth, but didn't answer immediately.

This pause changed David's curiosity again, and then he caught the light smile in Lan Li's eyes, and then he understood:

No wonder Lan Li is known as the "king of pranks." No wonder reporters are always helpless when facing Lan Li. The ridicule and ridicule are like hiding needles in cotton, always appearing in casual corners. They are completely guarded against. Inexplicably fell into the trap.

Obviously, Lan Li's silence is teasing David's impulse and restlessness-this is very different from David's previous focus and devotion.

Those eyes seemed to say: So you are so gossip.

David was also a little embarrassed.

But the cleverness of Lan Li is that he didn't continue to tease David until he clicked, but returned to the topic, "She is just a passionate fan."

what?

David didn't keep up with his thoughts, and his eyes raised his own questions.

"We don't know each other. She is just an ordinary fan and expressed warm greetings. That's all." Lan Li further explained, "The only difference may be that she is Italian, showing us that The enthusiasm of the locals is comparable to the level of the Venice Film Festival."

David was slightly stunned, turned his head and looked in the direction where the lady was leaving, opened his mouth to try to say something, then paused, but after another thought, he still couldn't hold back, "... ordinary fans. ?"

Lan Li laughed happily, but did not continue to circle around the issue, "Yes, I am willing to give it a chance to try to read it."

"..." David was half a beat slow.

After a pause, the reaction came. Renly was answering the previous question, an affirmative answer. Originally this should be gratifying news, but after the Italian lady's interruption, doubts and surprises mixed up. Son, David can't be happy either.

"...Okay." David gave a lukewarm answer.

Lan Li's eyes flowed with a smile again, "A bit disappointed, you don't look too happy. Or, let's just forget it?"

David had fully recovered at this time, and he immediately understood that Lanly was teasing himself-no one in Hollywood dared to make jokes about David like this, because David did not like such jokes, and such pranks always carried a kind of prank. Aggressiveness, this is not his preferred way of getting along.

"Why, do you want me to raise my hands and cheer for joy?" David replied stiffly.

Lan Li curled his lips, "Accurately speaking, this is not the scene I expected; but if you are willing to show it, I'd love to appreciate it."

David was choked, but couldn't help but laugh: because the emotional change in just two minutes was too violent, it was really funny.

But jokes were not David's strong point after all, and he did not continue to entangle with Lan Li, "Are you going to read the script?" Unknowingly, David's mood eased slightly.

Although not tense, David's state is indeed a bit tight in the face of Lan Li: it can be said that it is tit-for-tat, it can be said that it is deliberately provoking, or it can be said that it is full guard. In short, David's conversation rhythm and state are not in the normal state, and until now, he can obviously feel a lot of relaxation.

David himself is a director who is very good at capturing the emotions of the picture. He can also feel the subtle changes in himself, and the look in Lan Li's eyes again is a little more amazed.

"Yes." Lan Li nodded and gave an affirmative answer, "Sorry, I am still not sure, I know, your statement is very seductive/confusing; but obviously my chemical reaction system has a serious failure. I need to read the script and explore the status of the character from the beginning."

David didn't mind at all. In the low period of burnout, this state is really normal. It takes time. "Hey, at least you are willing to read the script. This is the beginning."

"Ha, you don't seem to leave me too much room for rejection." Lan Li joked, and then asked, "What stage is the script writing now?"

On the whole, the creation cycle of TV drama scripts is relatively short-but it is only relatively speaking, because the script creation process of TV dramas needs to take care of more roles and branches, which also means the division of labor and cooperation between screenwriters and spark collision. , These details are more important.

As far as Lan Li knows, the script of "Mind Hunter" only created the first two episodes before, and then was shelved because of the abandonment of HBO, and the subsequent script creation work could not continue. This is also the biggest difference between TV series and movies——

After most, movie scripts will be completely created before the project is formally established, and the scripts are used to seek investment. Only Marvel or Star Wars are a few exceptions; TV dramas are often created for the first episode or the first two episodes, and the entire Project ideas, and then seek investment.

In traditional public TV stations, they are more accustomed to shooting a pilot episode, and then testing it in the high-level interior to see how the effect is. After obtaining approval, they can put into post-production, and how the production of the first season will be. A lot of attention, some projects can get a full twenty-four episodes reservation in the first season, and some projects only get a reservation for twelve episodes, the entire broadcast plan can be adjusted at any time.

Netflix broke with the traditional production model of "House of Cards", where all the content of the "House of Cards" is released in one go. The producer must take more risks, but for the audience, they can watch all the content at once, making it easier to participate in the series. Among.

Such a model can be said to have pros and cons, but it is certain that it has changed the viewing habits of viewers and at the same time changed the production model of TV series.

Such as "Mind Hunter" is like this.

"The script creation is temporarily in the seventh episode. We expect that the first season should be around ten to twelve episodes." David gave an unexpected answer.

Lan Li was slightly surprised, "Oh? How do I remember that there were only the first two episodes?" Afterwards, because of HBO's divestment, the screenwriter was unable to continue working without income, and the script creation was naturally stranded. This is also Lan Li's concern. One: If a screenwriting team is reorganized, will the content and framework of the script need to be modified, and will this change the quality of the series? Who should control the script?

Sisyphus Pictures still lacks a helmsman for content operation and review. It is only supported by Renly's guest appearance. If it continues to expand in the future, this will definitely not work.

"Yes, but we have nowhere to go. We are looking forward to getting Netflix's investment. So the screenwriters have to complete the script creation without guarantee. I personally signed two checks and paid part of the salary, hoping to have it. Enough chips to impress Netflix."

David said frankly, he didn't conceal Netflix's part, but the helplessness and ridicule in his tone did not conceal--

Because Netflix refused.

Lan Li suddenly realized.

David cast a gaze toward Lanly, "I must admit, I need to formally thank you, if it weren't for Sisyphus Pictures..." He might be bankrupt, after all, he can do it for one The project was desperate, but could not drag other screenwriters to face risks with him.

"Thank you!" David said solemnly, "Also, sorry. Obviously, my attitude just now should never be the right way to treat you."

Lan Li also showed no politeness, but showed a big smile, "My honor. To be honest, I'm somewhat thankful that Netflix has rejected you, and you are also willing to come to Sisyphus Pictures to have a try. This is also true. Robert, Ethan and I have been trying hard."

At this point, David just had a flash of inspiration, "Can you explain it in detail? I mean, Rooney told me something at the premiere of Jurassic World, but I always feel that it’s not. Reliable, there is only a vague concept. Are you sure you know what you are doing?"

"I'm glad you asked." Lan Li laughed lightly. "In short, we hope to replicate Netflix's model and build our own streaming media platform."

In one sentence, Lan Li explained all the concepts in one sentence, but he threw a heavy weight in David's mind, and then the first sentence that he blurted out was, "Wow! You are really ready to rock and roll." ."

There was a look of joy in Lan Li's eyes~www.novelhall.com~ You are the first person who didn't question whether I was irrational. "

"Including Robert?" David jumped up again.

"'Are you crazy?' This was Robert's first reaction." Lanly replied.

David smiled, "It's not unexpected." Then he continued, "I know, this is a crazy idea, definitely not imaginable by ordinary people; but the problem is that you are not an ordinary person, you are Lan Li- Hall..." David paused for a while, and he suddenly realized: Perhaps the only one in Hollywood that can promote such a plan is Renly, even Steven Spielberg and Tom Hank. Neither will work.

"I must admit that I have also thought about the possibility of creating a platform that allows artists to complete their creations according to their own ideas, and then allows all audiences to choose their favorite works instead of being imprisoned in two sets of tights. "In the middle." David said honestly, "but I don't know how to achieve profitability, and I don't have such a charisma. Of course, I can't leverage Wall Street capital, so..."

David shrugged, everything was silent, and then he looked at Lan Li expectantly, "So, how are you going to implement this plan?"
