Chatty Hollywood

Of course, it is not Mr. Westwood's purpose to complain about Charlotte's attitude towards literary films.

He was about to talk about how to shoot "Prison Break", but Charlotte pulled out two more scripts.

"This is!?"

Mr. Westwood glanced at the names of the two scripts--

""Evil Force" and "The Vampire Diaries"!?——This is also the script of the TV series!?"

"Yes."

Charlotte nodded.

"Although with "Death Note" and the next stage of "Prison Break", our ghost party studio's main suspense crime theme is no longer a problem. But after all, this theme is similar to science fiction and requires very high scripts. It’s not conducive to long-term renewal, and it’s hard to last more than ten years like some longevity dramas."

"so!?"

"So we need some more ordinary series, the ratings may not be that high, but the production difficulty is also lower, and it is easier to shoot for a long time."

Charlotte explained,

"In this regard, the most suitable series are actually those series with one story per episode. However, our Ghost Party studio is better at it, and it has always been the subject of suspense and horror, so I prepared the story of "Evil Force" ."

"So, this is a fantasy series? A... well, a story about two brothers catching ghosts!?"

Opening the script that Charlotte handed over, Mr. Westwood immediately understood what the selling point of "Evil Force" was.

He frowned.

"This kind of subject does have a fixed audience, but it doesn't seem to be a popular subject? If you are unlucky, you may be cut in half because the ratings are too low."

"indeed so."

Charlotte nodded.

He naturally knew that Mr. Westwood was telling the truth--

Whether it is science fiction, fantasy or horror themes, on American TV screens, they are all niche themes, and the shooting difficulty is relatively high.

Therefore, even if these dramas are on fire, they often don't live a long life. It is already very good if they can last for five or six seasons.

On American TV screens, legal dramas and ordinary detective dramas are the real evergreen trees.

However, this kind of drama is not helpful for Charlotte to gather the emotional power of the audience, and then gather mana. It does not meet Charlotte's plan to kill two birds with one stone.

Therefore, Charlotte does not intend to dabble in these types until the manpower of the TV series department of the Ghost Party Studio is sufficient.

——As for the problem of fantasy subject matter due to small audiences and low ratings, Charlotte has other solutions.

"We can use the partnership with Warner to directly broadcast on Warner's wb TV station-there is a relationship with the "Harry Potter" series. As long as the series we produce are not bad, then Warner wants to maintain the relationship with us. Relationship, we won’t easily cut our episodes."

"...Can do this!?"

Although this approach to insider trading is not unplayed, Mr. Westwood is still a little surprised that Charlotte can be so proficient.

On the other hand, he was also a little worried.

"Even if the WB TV station is willing to broadcast our series, the TV station itself has not always had a very high ratings. "Evil Force" is broadcast there. If the ratings are average, we should not make much money. Bar?"

"Nor can you say that."

Charlotte shook her head.

"On the one hand, the basic price is still indispensable. On the other hand, we can sell peripherals!"

Charlotte knows very well how the series "Evil Forces" survived for a long time in his original time and space.

——The ratings of this drama have not been particularly high.

At the beginning, it was good at the wb station, and later on the cw station which merged with the cbs at the wb station-that is, the famous small broken station or toilet station-no matter what, it is the same.

However, this drama has not been cut in half, and it has even been shot for more than a dozen seasons, which is comparable to many classic longevity dramas.

The important thing is that this series is very suitable for selling peripherals.

Charlotte now wants to make money and practice spells, so naturally he considered copying this method.

Especially, the current wb TV station and the future cw station are themselves this kind of business strategy——

Among all the first-line TV stations in the United States, it is the only one that targets young audiences aged 18-34.

These audiences do not like watching TV as much as middle-aged and elderly audiences, so for their dramas, it is natural to have a high ratings, but a low rating is fine as long as it is not excessive.

——These people tend to invest in the surroundings more than middle-aged and elderly people.

Therefore, the cw station is largely the peripheral money earned.

Whether it is the future dc comic series led by "Arrow" or youth dramas such as "Gossip Girl", it is all thanks to the targeted strategy of cw channel that can shine. .

Although wb and cbs may take a few years to merge into cw, but before that, wb TV has already instinctively made this attempt.

Charlotte just wanted to borrow the east wind in this regard.

When necessary, he can also mention Warner's aspects through personal relationships, and even promote the birth of cw station in advance...

"Well~www.readwn.com~According to you, there is indeed no problem!"

Mr. Westwood nodded.

"However, in this way, in the shooting of "Evil Force", don't we need to be too obsessed with it?"

"On the contrary!"

Charlotte shook her head.

"Because the script itself is not as exciting as "Death Note" and "Prison Break", we have to pay attention to shooting-the difference is that in those two series, we attract the audience through complex plots and gradually build characters. "Evil Force", we need the charm of the characters themselves to attract the audience."

"Simply put, it means to have more handsome men and beautiful women?"

Mr. Westwood directly made Charlotte's words simple and popular.

Charlotte did not object.

——This is the fact. One of the attractions of the original "Evil Force" is that there are so many handsome men and beautiful women.

In addition to being the protagonist, the Winchester Brothers, who have been traveling all over the United States to exorcise the devil, and the heroine of each episode, there are also many high-valued people.

——This can be said to be an important aspect of this series, especially in the first two seasons.

Charlotte is also preparing to restore it intact in this regard.

Moreover, he also prepared another gimmick——

"You hope the crew will go to some supernatural places in the United States to shoot from time to time!?"

Seeing Mr. Westwood wanted to cover his heart again, Charlotte explained quickly,

"This is just a publicity gimmick. Moreover, I also hired the famous psychic master Patrick Jane as a consultant for the crew-so there will be no problem!"

Of course, the facts are another matter...
