Chapter 177 Wasn't it to meet a certain model?
That night.

Hoshino Yuko barely moved her chopsticks.

Su Rui accidentally ate too much, and his stomach felt uncomfortable.

The two walked blindly in the cold wind, and did not return to the Le Meridien Hotel near Central Park until after nine o'clock.

New York time is a full six hours ahead of Hawaii.

Yuko Hoshino took off her make-up and went to bed early, while Suri didn't feel sleepy, staying in the small study in the suite, watching TV on the hotel computer.

Through Netflix Entertainment Network, he found a comedy called "Happy Family".

Around 1995, Su Rui had watched a few episodes. At that time, she thought the show was not interesting. Today, she patiently re-watched it for a while and found it quite interesting.

The sitcom "Happy Family" has a total of eleven seasons and more than 200 episodes. It was completed in 2004.

When the National Broadcasting Corporation (NBC) licensed it and the network broadcast rights of "Friends" to Netflix, Suri had not yet stepped in to form Netflix Entertainment.

Now, if I want to ask NBC for the authorization of film and television dramas, the other party will not be so easy to talk to.

The existence of Internet TV has touched the core interests of major traditional TV stations. Giving copyright to Su Rui is tantamount to sending bullets to the enemy.

In Su Rui's view, this is mainly because the interests have not been agreed upon.

When Netflix Entertainment grows stronger and has the strength to burn more money, it can always find a way to buy more online broadcasting rights for film and television dramas.

For example, HBO, a subsidiary of Time Warner Group, has publicly announced the formation of a streaming media division in an attempt to compete with Netflix Entertainment.

Once these traditional giants finally realize that not only will they not be able to completely eliminate Netflix Entertainment, but they will also have allies around them secretly stabbing knives. I believe it will not take long before internal friction will start between them. For their own benefit, it is obviously better to follow the Su Rui cooperated and took the opportunity to make more money.

The news of coming to New York is estimated to be discovered by the paparazzi soon.

Therefore, while busy watching the drama, Suri also sent a text message to Daddario, telling her that she had arrived in New York, and made an excuse that she needed to go to Wall Street to meet investment bankers to discuss how to raise Tesla.

It took a long time for Daddario to reply, and the text read - "Really? Not to meet a model?"

Su Rui had a cheeky face, and only replied—"Thanks for the reminder, I just happened to visit the Victoria's Secret talent show tomorrow, and the TV series was filming OK?"

Daddario quickly called and told him that the crew would be off for a few days.

On the one hand, it is necessary to prepare new sets and props, on the other hand, it is also necessary to try to edit two episodes first to see how the effect is.

In case of a detour, there is a problem with the rhythm and style, it is convenient to get back on track, so as not to waste time and energy in vain.

When American TV stations broadcast new dramas, they often shoot some trial episodes first. The first season may only have a few episodes, and some new dramas only air three or four episodes. When it is found that the audience does not like it, they are cut off immediately.

Director David Lynch is right to be cautious.

The usable area of ​​the hotel suite is about 115 square meters. There is a spacious living room between the study and the bedroom.

Su Rui closed the door and made a normal phone call, not afraid of being overheard by Yuko Hoshino, even if they were caught alive on the spot, the two of them even lived in the same suite.

Through the mobile phone, Suri said to Daddario:

"When the editing is finished, I should be able to take the time to go over and watch it, hold an internal preview, and give comments anonymously."

"Remember to remind Director Lynch for me that storytelling is important, but I want a documentary like "The Walking Dead" that reveals the truth everywhere, rather than a popcorn movie where American soldiers save the world. American audiences It’s almost time to see this routine, but it’s still popular in the international market.”

"What I want is a real sense of substitution, even if the pace is a little slower."

over the phone.

Daddario's tone was suspicious: "Shall I remind you? It will look like I'm teaching him to make a TV series. It's a little bad, or you can call Director Lynch yourself?"

"As an actor, I was afraid of this and that, so I asked you to convey these thoughts to him when I was on the phone. The first two episodes briefly explained the background of the story, and the plot will soon be advanced, and the style needs to be determined. .”

After Suri finished speaking, Daddario had a headache and said:
"Okay, it's a little late today, I'll go to Director Lynch tomorrow morning. So are you staying in a hotel now, chatting with my mother in the evening, she said that it's snowing in New York today."

Su Rui looked out the window and said with a smile:
"Yes, it's still snowing. I'll take a photo for you later. It's already midnight, and the buildings are still brightly lit. Are there so many unlucky people working overtime?"

As a native of New York, Daddario knew a little more about this place, and immediately explained:
"No, there is a rule in New York that office buildings are not allowed to turn off the lights at night. I guess it is to look more beautiful. The state will give some subsidies, so everyone keeps the lights on from morning till night."

"."

Not many times in New York, Su Rui heard about this for the first time, and said speechlessly: "This is really wasteful and vain. I guess the shareholders of the power plant should give gifts to the state."

Daddario smiled happily, skipped this topic, and then introduced him to some local attractions.

Su Rui still remembers that in 1996, he traveled to New York with his parents for the first time in his life. He had already seen the Metropolitan Museum, the Statue of Liberty, etc., and he could only say that meeting was not as famous as it was, which was quite boring.

The Empire State Building has long been old, and few big companies are willing to move in. Broadway is also dilapidated, with one family closing down one after another. As for Central Park, night is a paradise for crime. People would rather take a long way than go through it.

At that time, Su Rui was only interested in high-quality stocks on the Nasdaq exchange.

Chatted on the phone for a while, then continued watching the drama after hanging up.

Episode after episode, when I started to doze off, it was already past three o'clock in the morning local time in New York.

More than seven in the morning.

Su Rui was woken up by Yuko Hoshino, his head seemed to be filled with cement, and he couldn't move at all.

Originally, he planned to send her directly to Victoria's Secret Company, and used the purchase of the online broadcasting rights of previous Victoria's Secret shows as an excuse to find out.

Unexpectedly, a group of reporters surrounded the entrance of Victoria's Secret Company today, interviewing the models who came to interview one by one, and even set up a special photo area for the models to show themselves.

If there are beautiful women who can stand out and get people's attention first, the chances of being selected for Victoria's Secret will be greatly increased, and this has been proven.

Therefore, many models who came to the interview, in front of the media, tried their best to show enthusiasm and pleasing side, and dressed in fashion.

Su Rui turned his head to read it, and said to Hoshino Yuko:

"They are very hardworking. They wear black silk in winter, and some people wear shorts. Your down jacket has no advantage. Now take you to change clothes?"

"No need, they are all my competitors. It would be better to freeze them to death. I think you should stay in the car. If you are photographed with me, even if you successfully sign a contract with Victoria's Secret, others will only say that I went through the back door." .”

"Okay, come on, let's go in first, I will turn around later to see if there is a side door"
