Manhattan Reborn 1978

David sent Pine to Polly to discuss follow-up investment.

He returned to the office and took Harvey and Tangtang to study the filming issues of several programs.

The original film crew was not enough.

Among the several programs David has planned, the food program has the simplest shooting requirements.

You can even go directly to Harvey’s kitchen, decorate it and take photos!

Then the three of them talked about outdoor competitive programs.

Harvey's eyes started to shine when he heard it, but his questions also came: "David, this show will sign a contract with HBO."

"Will our film and television company still be restricted and governed by people sent by HBO?"

David thinks this is a problem. A set or a program cannot be decided by just a few people, and things will get messed up.

"Da Film and Television will produce it independently, and HBO will purchase and broadcast it. I will talk to Pine about this later."

"After the acquisition by HBO, Pine will not be involved in specific matters. Then Harvey, on behalf of our film and television company, go and do business with their person in charge. We will talk about this later."

Harvey nodded and took note. He was now learning from David and was used to using small notebooks.

David was thinking of managing Da Film and Television and Da Media separately.

One is for production and the other is for broadcasting, with clear division of labor and self-responsibility for revenue.

After all, Da Media will develop into a media group giant spanning the world in the future.

David's shares in it are his personal shares.

Da Media is only his personal investment and has nothing to do with Da Group. It is just a name.

He told the two of them in detail about the plan for the show.

"For the outdoor program, we need to find suitable permanent guests. In this regard, Harvey needs you to finalize the list of candidates."

"Guests need to have high recognition from the audience and no negative news. The scope of search is not limited to stars such as film, television and music, including sports, music, hosts, etc. You can find them to see who is popular. It has a higher degree of accuracy and is the most suitable for our program.”

"In terms of the contract, we need to sign it with the guests for a longer period of time, and we need to sign a non-competition agreement with them!"

"They are restricted from accepting invitations to similar programs other than ours. In this regard, you can discuss the corresponding terms with George when the time comes."

"We can add to the contract that if the show becomes a hit, their income will increase accordingly."

"Our program is not for making money, it is for our subsequent production, to lay a foundation, build a reputation, and accumulate valuable experience!"

"We are not just doing this show anymore. When we are producing this show, our team will also develop a better understanding."

Harvey nodded frequently and wrote it all down in his notebook.

David picked up the coffee and took a sip. The program was generally done, but the details would need to be adjusted later based on Harvey's work progress.

"For TV series, we need several leading actors. They can be lesser-known actors, but they must have good acting skills! They must have personal performance characteristics that can make the audience remember their roles!"

"There is also a scene, which will be set at the Wildfire Bar. After I buy it, we will shoot it during the day and then open it at night depending on the situation, so that there is no delay in the two."

"In terms of plot setting, Harvey, you need to talk to the director and screenwriter yourself."

"Let them give the leading actors an accurate character positioning."

"For the supporting roles in the play, we can find some non-professional actors to perform according to the plot of each episode."

"Tell the director that the biggest selling point of this drama is its authenticity! After watching it, the audience will feel that the people and things in this bar have appeared and happened around them!"

David thought about it: "Also, Da Film and Television needs to set up a department. Its role is to find those good scripts and good program ideas."

"They will become a reserve for Da Film and Television to continue to produce new products!"

"No matter who has good ideas or creative ideas, they can come to da Film and Television to try their luck."

"In this regard, we need to make a promotional video and then show it on HBO."

"Tangtang, you will be in charge of this department for the time being. We will recruit some smart, careful and patient people to help you. Seriously find a good and suitable book for our company!"

"After you receive someone submitting a manuscript, call all the contributors and inform them of the specific process and time of our review so that they can rest assured."

"If his book is included in our reserve, we can give him a reward."

"When his book is filmed and turned into a work, we will pay him dividends based on the actual situation."

"If his book fails to enter our company's reserve, you must also tell the other party clearly and let them know the reason."

"Let them think of us Da Film and Television immediately when they come up with good ideas and scripts in the future."

"These systems must be perfected in these days! Tangtang."

Tangtang nodded beside her, holding a pen and paper in her hand as she kept taking notes.

David put down his coffee cup.

almost.

"Let's do this for today. You start doing what I just said. If you have any questions, you can ask Polly."

"Or call Sally and leave me a message."

Harvey and Tangtang packed up their things and stood up to leave.

David walked them to the stairs.

He pulled Harvey: "Da Film and Television, the tentative office location is your studio.

I will arrange a suitable place for you to move here later.

And the Sidrich family, if they complete the preliminary work of Popular Entertainment Company, they will need your help to form a review team.

You are very familiar with the process of screening directors who make small films, so I believe it will not be too difficult.

However, Harvey, your dream of directing may have to be put on hold for the time being. "

"In terms of company management and coordination, if you don't understand something, come to the group and ask Polly, or call Pine."

"For financial matters, you can talk to Andy when the time comes."

Time is tight and tasks are heavy.

I don’t know if Harvey can survive it.

Harvey puffed up his chest, as if he had grown taller: "Don't worry David, I've been waiting for this opportunity for more than ten years. It's a dream to be a director. There will be opportunities in the future, right?"

David smiled and hugged Harvey.

Tangtang next to her also asked for a hug.

"Thank you David! Thank you!" Tangtang said with water splashing in her smiling eyes.

David looked at her and sighed in his heart.

This sister finally doesn’t have to worry, she won’t stand on the streets anymore. . .

This earned him his first pot of gold, the Tangtang mascot, and he accepted it.

amount.

In other words, the box office revenue of "Little Red Riding Hood" may not be settled until the end of the year and Christmas. .

He stepped forward and hugged Tangtang to calm her down.

Harvey was on the side, and his smile was also very good.

There really aren't many girls like Tangtang in Manhattan who know how to make progress and work hard to change their own destiny.

Most of the girls here are confused, just have fun today, but don't know where they will be tomorrow.

They came here, were assimilated here, bloomed, withered, withered, and rotted here. . .

"Tangtang, your work is very important. At the same time, it can broaden your horizons and increase your accumulation. You have to study harder. When you find the right person to replace you, you can come to me with your favorite script. , I’ll invest in filming it for you!”

Tangtang nodded.

This time she went to Los Angeles.

What you see, what you hear.

Ridiculed, ignored.

Some regard her as their goal, and some covet her body. .

She has made dozens of short films.

Many people know her as an actress.

This time when she went to Los Angeles, her identity changed to that of a director.

Attracting a confused look. . .

However, she succeeded.

Although he didn't win the directing award.

But the movie "The Wolf Man and Little Red Riding Hood" won the Best Film Award, Best Creative Award, and Most Popular Award of the Year.

As an investor, director, and producer, she went on stage to receive the award.

Tangtang looked at the people in the audience, their and theirs, all kinds of looks that she couldn't describe.

Make up your mind to seize the opportunity now and bid farewell to your previous life completely.

After Tangtang came to da company today, what she saw and heard may need to be digested for a while after she goes home.

Patting Tangtang, who was slowly recovering, David said goodbye to the two of them.

Watching the two people go downstairs, David also let out a sigh of relief.

The more he works now, the more work he has to do, and there are not enough tool workers~

It can't go on like this!

You must find a way to get these tasks done, and then take a lazy break to recuperate!

Rubbing his forehead, when passing by Polly's office, he saw Pine and Ludy sitting inside.

He called Ludy out, and the two came to David's office.

He took out the blank check and told Ludy about the idea of ​​buying the Wildfire Bar.

"Do you really want to buy it?" Lu Di heard Mark Bai mention this matter.

"Yes, we Da Film and Television are going to shoot a TV series. I want to use the Wildfire Bar as the filming location. This will affect its business."

“Also, Wildfire Bar is where I first came to work in Manhattan and I absolutely loved it.”

"I want to ask you, how much is the appropriate price to pay for the Wildfire Bar?"

Ludy picked up the blank check, looked at it, and said with a smile: "How do I know? You'd better go talk to old Malkin about this matter."

"However, the penthouse above Wildfire is now in my name because of some previous events."

"It's not a good idea for you to always rent an apartment. Why not open up a few apartments upstairs and decorate them as your residence."

David thought it was a good idea.

As a Chinese in my previous life, I am still very interested in having my own nest!

You have a home only if you have a house.

This can be!

"How much?" David asked happily.

Lu Di stood up with a smile: "It's for you, David! I'll ask Mike Bai to give you the key. I'll go to George to complete the formalities. You just need to sign it then."

"But when you get married in the future, don't even think about asking me for gifts! Haha~"

"Don't forget that the nightclub will open the night after tomorrow. Let David know and ask him to come over and have a party together!"

He said and went to Polly's office.

amount.

David stood up and froze.

Ludy's gift confused David a little.
