Reborn Tycoon Rise

ABC TV station, the full name is American Broadcasting Corporation. In fact, you can tell from the name that it is a very powerful company. The name of the company is American, which is equivalent to the State Grid and the Bank of China in later generations. etc.

But the difference is that this is a completely private company with no relationship with the government - at least not in terms of equity.

In the United States in the 1970s, there were three major television giants in the United States, namely ABC, NBC and CBS. Fox, which will be as famous as these three in later generations, has not yet become a giant, and CW was born nearly 30 years ago.

The program launched by ABC this time is to celebrate the upcoming Father's Day. In traditional concepts, maternal love has always been the focus of descriptions in Hollywood movies and novels, but ABC has taken a different approach this time and launched a touching video solicitation of father's love. programme.

However, we are not yet in the era of smartphones. I want to make a short video. In this era, the investment is not high, but it is not cheap either. Therefore, ABC’s program this time is mainly targeted at Los Angeles and New York. The former has Hollywood heroes. Gathering, the latter is a place where traditional culture is inherited such as Broadway.

The requirements for submissions are very simple: 3-10 minutes of video, with the theme of fatherly love and reflecting fatherly love.

Once this project was broadcast, it aroused the interest of many people, especially a group of young teenagers who dream of becoming famous overnight in Hollywood.

If you don't know a profession, if you don't understand a profession, if you want to get into a movie, even if it's a small supporting role that can only speak a few words, in fact, for many young people who have dreams, it is probably a dream that will never be achieved in their lifetime.

Whether it is Hengdian in later generations, Hollywood in all eras, or even Xiangjiang now, countless people are just eating box lunches and earning barely a living wage. In fact, they are just daydreaming day by day.

But the ABC program is different. You only need to buy some film and rent a camera to shoot. As for labor, they are a group of people who are idle every day, so there is no such thing as labor.

Lin Siqi not only went to Burbank, where ABC is located (a city very close to Los Angeles), to make detailed inquiries, but also went to Hollywood for a few days at public expense, collecting a lot of information along the way.

Xu Zhi looked at the conclusion that Lin Siqi came to and said with laughter and tears: "You mean there are more than 300 small teams involved in this project in Hollywood alone?"

Lin Siqi nodded and said: "Yes, many Hollywood extras have signed up to participate, and there are also some students from several universities in nearby cities who want to participate. If we also enter, there will be too many competitors."

Xu Zhi shook his head and smiled: "Why are you afraid of having too many competitors? No matter what you do, having too many opponents is never a problem. You should be more concerned about whether your opponents are strong or not!"

Lin Siqi thought for a while and said: "But this is the United States after all. Although we all know English, we don't understand the culture here very well. Even if these people participating in the show are amateurs, it will be difficult for us to win?"

Xu Zhi shook his head and said: "No, you are wrong. Love does not distinguish between cultures, especially father's love and mother's love. No matter what your culture is, it is always universal. Even among animals, there is maternal love or father's love. Even if It’s the love between animals that can often touch humans.”

Lin Siqi shrugged and said, "Not necessarily. I know that when kangaroos are in danger, they will throw their children to the enemy and then run away!"

Xu Zhi couldn't help but almost rolled his eyes, and didn't bother to explain to Gang Jing, and said: "You follow my request. I will write the script in the next few days. You first go to the Hollywood Guild to find some actors. My request It's a male protagonist around 30 years old, and a woman plays his wife, but it's just a supporting role, the kind of person who hangs up as soon as she appears, and then just find a few passers-by, A, B, C, and D. The most important thing is to find a baby. It’s a headache, but it’s okay to spend a little more money. I’m just afraid of causing trouble.”

Making a movie in Hollywood is not as easy as you think.

The union organization in Hollywood is extremely strong. Anyway, there will be an actors' strike every few years. A few years later, there will be another directors' strike, and then a few years later there will be another writers' strike...

Occasionally, when the mood strikes, there will be a strike by the behind-the-scenes staff, which means that all the behind-the-scenes staff that most people cannot name will go on strike. Anyway, the union is so awesome - how can it reflect the value of its existence without going on strike?

If there will be dogs, horses and other animals in a movie, then I'm sorry, you have to hire someone from the Animal Protection Association to review it and confirm that there are no problems before you can start production.

When it comes to babies, the rules are even stricter, and it is best to have professional wet nurses and medical professionals present.

In short, it's okay if you are a strong local company, but if you come from other places, there are countless rules and regulations that can make you happy.

This is the trouble when it comes to babies. After all, babies are more fragile. After all, this is the United States, and any baby may become the future president, so...

Xu Zhi said to Lin Siqi: "In addition to this baby, you also need to find a director in this field, preferably one who has filmed zombies."

Lin Siqi couldn't help but trembled: "Why do you want zombies to appear in a father's love video? Do you want the father to save the baby among the zombies? This is too cliché!"

Xu Zhi smiled and shook his head and said: "You don't have to worry about how I shoot, just go and get ready. Once you find the person, make an appointment first. We will go back to Xiangjiang soon. Although He Guoyuan is there at the arcade, I also want to go there." Let’s go back and take a look, and then we have to go back to the United States to shoot this short video. This period happens to be a blank period when the arcade machines are shipping on the sea, otherwise, when the arcade machines come, I won’t have so much time.”

The first batch of arcade machines were shipped by air, but that was to open up the market and was an emergency measure. The batch of arcade machines going to Las Vegas has already been shipped by air. According to feedback, the effect in the casinos is pretty good, and there will be follow-up some orders.

The next batch of orders is for 1,500 units. Arcade machines are large items. It is estimated that several 747s cannot fit so many units, not to mention the cost, so they can only be shipped by sea.

The shipping time is slow, which gave Xu Zhi a blank period to shoot this short video, which was enough.

When Lin Siqi heard that she was going back to Xiangjiang, she immediately said happily: "I can finally go back."

Xu Zhixiao asked: "Is life not good here in the United States? You live in hotels and ride in luxury cars every day, aren't you satisfied?"

Lin Siqi replied: "These are two different things! No matter how nice this place is, it is not my home! I also miss my family! In fact, whether it is the UK where I studied abroad before, or the United States now, if I come here for fun, stay here Ten days and a half month is quite good, but if you live there for a long time, you really feel out of tune and always feel uncomfortable."

"It feels like not being at home!" Xu Zhi said with a smile. In fact, he felt the same, but now he mainly needs to stay here during the development of his career.

A golden den and a silver den are not as good as your own wolf den!
