Chatty Hollywood

American Broadcasting Corporation, referred to as ABC.

This television company was born in 1945 and is one of the three major commercial broadcast television companies in the United States.

——However, it is currently the bottom one.

In 1995, under the leadership of Disney President Michael Eisner, Disney acquired ABC TV for a sky-high price of $19 billion.

At present, ABC's strength has improved, but it is still the bottom one among Sangda Commercial Broadcasting and Television Company.

There are two ABC headquarters.

One of them is located in Times Square in New York, the media center.

The other is located in Burbank, near Los Angeles. It is close to the entertainment center Hollywood, and is connected to the Disney Studios, the headquarters of the Disney Company, by a pedestrian bridge.

This is enough to explain the relationship between ABC and Disney.

You know, Robert Iger, who will push the Disney business empire to the top, is still working at ABC at this time.

Of course, the TV animation of "Harry Potter and the Philosopher's Stone" can be broadcast on ABC TV, but it has little to do with Robert Iger, the future president of Disney.

In fact, Charlotte didn't spend much time looking for a TV station to broadcast.

The headquarters is relatively close to Hollywood, and at the same time, because of Disney's relationship, he is more tolerant of cartoons-ABC was the first partner he asked about.

After ABC was acquired by Disney, it is also actively strengthening itself, striving to get rid of its status as the bottom of the three major TV networks.

Although ABC's news response speed is still slow, and the program settings are not rich and attractive enough, it is precisely because of this that their demand for good programs is the most serious.

Therefore, after seeing the trial episode of "Harry Potter and the Sorcerer's Stone" produced by the Ghost Party Studios, people from ABC were suddenly attracted.

No way, this is the first 3D TV animation they saw with such a high degree of completion.

You know, unlike 20 years later, 3D animation movies are just a few years old at this time, and the technology has not yet spread.

At present, the best at 3D animation can still be Pixar.

But Pixar is already too busy to develop new technologies and new movies, so how can it have time to make TV animations with less revenue.

Therefore, the current 3D TV animation is still a very tall thing for the staff of major TV networks.

The person responsible for purchasing new films on the ABC side was completely attracted by the exquisite 3D animation effects of "Harry Potter and the Sorcerer's Stone".

Besides, Charlotte drew them a pie--

"This animation is adapted from a fairy tale that has not yet been released in the United States. However, the author's story design is very large. The current plot alone will be enough for us to shoot for a long time..."

——In short, the problem that the most feared storylines of other TV dramas or TV animations can’t keep up is completely absent in the movie "Harry Potter and the Sorcerer's Stone". and--

"When the original book is available in the US market, we can still do some linkage activities..."

As an old river and lake who has worked for a long time in the ABC TV network, the person in charge of film selection naturally knows that linkage promotion often has an effect of 1+1 greater than 2.

With such a bright prospect, they were easily overwhelmed by Charlotte's PPT offensive and easily signed the animated TV version of "Harry Potter and the Sorcerer's Stone".

Of course, according to the habits of the U.S. television industry, only one season has been signed for the time being-

If the ratings are good, renew the subscription, and if the ratings are not good, it will be cut in half.

Unlike Chinese TV dramas that are sold to TV stations after all productions are completed, American TV dramas are all currently filmed.

Whether it is TV series or TV animation, they are generally broadcast at the speed of one episode a week, which makes their broadcast content very affected by ratings.

Once they find that the ratings have dropped to a dangerous range, editors will often make big moves, or add meat dramas, or make lunches, or at least make a big news story to boost the ratings.

——Of course, the practice of adding meat shows is generally only available to pay TV stations such as HBO, and public TV stations such as ABC still have to pay attention to the impact.

In short, this is the habit of the American television industry.

The first season of signing can be said to be a test of the waters. If the ratings are high, the subscription will generally be renewed soon, either to increase the number of episodes or directly book the second season.

Charlotte felt that with the plot of "Harry Potter and the Sorcerer's Stone" and the 3D effects produced by the Ghost Party Studio, it should not be difficult to renew the subscription.

However, in order to avoid capsize in the gutter, he still prepared carefully.

Although I came to work overtime during the Christmas holiday to prepare for the latter part, it was not because of worry.

——It's purely because a person has nothing to do.

Anyway, with the graphics processor integrated with the human skin book, Charlotte can output animation very easily——

He doesn't need to process animation frame by frame like other animation production companies.

As long as the character model and the scene model are designed, and there is a specific story, he can easily rely on the human leather book to directly synthesize an animation with sufficient accuracy.

——It may not be enough to use as an animated film ~www.readwn.com~ but it is more than enough to show it on TV.

Although this process also requires mana, it is more cost-effective than consuming a lot of manpower and time.

Besides, Charlotte still has the coolie Alexis available.

During the Christmas holiday, the two produced twelve episodes of animation content, which shocked all the people in the animation department of the Ghost Party Studio.

——After all, before Christmas, they just prepared all kinds of 3D models and settings, and finished one of the trial episodes. How come they have produced so many episodes after only more than a week?

"Boss, did you get Aladdin's magic lamp?"

Seton Witte, the programmer in charge of 3D technical support, asked jokingly, but he couldn't hide his curiosity.

"Yes! I got the magic lamp."

Charlotte shrugged and told the truth.

After all, Xu Fu, who was sealed by him, was the prototype of the lamp god-so it is not wrong to say that he got Aladdin's magic lamp.

Of course, this magic lamp cannot be used to make a wish.

Moreover, Charlotte also knew that this kind of truth he said, except for the old gun and other people who knew the truth about the spell, everyone in the studio would not believe it.

He also needs a more "credible" statement——

"I said before that I would find an outsourcing company to speed up the production speed, and now I found it-an animation studio called "Shen Deng" in China accepted this job. This is their recent achievement."

"Although the Chinese are not good at 3D design and technology, they are still very rich in manpower, especially-they are just Christmas!"

Charlotte blinked at her employee.
