Chapter 457 The Vampire Diaries

"I remember that "The Vampire Diaries" has always been one of the signatures of CW TV station? It is very popular among teenagers, why is this show not mentioned?"

This is one of the few American dramas that Yang Cheng can remember, and it happened to be filmed by CW TV station, so the impression was very deep. At that time, The Vampire Diaries was still popular in China for a long time. Audiences from many places voted her the most beautiful vampire, with that soft and charming face, she was born to play a vampire, but later this girl inevitably followed the old path of European and American actresses, and became disabled!

Mark was taken aback for a moment, apparently not expecting that **oss knew a lot about CW TV station, so he thought about it and replied, "Originally, according to the TV station's filming plan, the seventh season of "The Vampire Diaries" will be released in the fall, but we are currently facing several challenges. Whether to renew the TV station is also a matter of debate."

"Oh? Tell me." Yang Cheng was very curious. He didn't know the inside story, and his memory was a little fuzzy. He only remembered that this hit drama was very popular, but he really didn't pay much attention to the final ending.

"It's such a boss. The first problem that bears the brunt is the core of the show. The heroine Nina Dobrev has the idea of ​​quitting. Once this idea is put into action, the writer has to re-conceive the plot of the new season. It is too difficult to write the heroine to death while ensuring the attractiveness of the plot.

We have done a survey, and most of the viewers who renew their subscriptions to this show are due to the existence of the heroine. In this show, the heroine Elena is too charming. Losing her is equivalent to losing the core. That's why we are so entangled, should we simply cut this show and leave a regret for the audience, and when Nina Dobrev changes her mind and is willing to return in the future, it will bring even greater surprises, won't it? "

Donna Round listened for a while, then frowned and asked, "What's the reason for Nina Dobrev's withdrawal? Unsatisfied with the salary?"

Mark shook his head, "Our screenwriter talked to Nina, and she raised a lot of concerns during the conversation, such as the decline in popularity of "The Vampire Diaries". And the launch of the third season, but still after 6 years of filming, with the long production cycle and the complexity of the plot, many drama fans could not accept it and abandoned the drama one after another. Now it has been filming the sixth season, "The Vampire Diaries "The audience is not as large as before, which is probably the biggest reason for Nina Dobrev's withdrawal;

In addition, I also guess that she may not want to hang herself on "The Vampire Diaries". During the filming of this drama, Nina Dobrev hardly participated in any TV drama performances, only a few cameos Movies, Nina Dobrev was only 19 years old when she played the first season of "The Vampire Diaries", and now she is 26 years old. She has spent too much time and energy on this drama, and because this drama makes I have already been stereotyped, the path of the play has narrowed, and I haven't made any major breakthroughs;

As for the end, she revealed in the chat that she was unwilling to cooperate with the married Ian Somerhalder,

That is, the actor who played the leading role in this show. Nina Dobrev and Ian Somerhalder met when they were filming "The Vampire Diaries". The two fell in love and announced their relationship in 2011, but in 2013 They announced their breakup in 2009 and decided to return from lovers to friends.

Both are professional actors, so even after breaking up, the two still worked together for two seasons of "The Vampire Diaries". Recently, Ian Somerhalder has married his fiancée Nikki Reed, and Nikki Reed Nina Dobrev and Nina Dobrev were very close friends before. In order to avoid embarrassment, it is reasonable for Nina Dobrev to decide to withdraw from the filming of the seventh season. "

Yang Cheng is helpless, this tm is another old Hollywood drama, stealing girlfriends and boyfriends is very common.

However, after Donna Lande patiently listened to Mark's explanation, she became more and more dissatisfied, "They are all adults, and still have such a petty temper? Don't you just want to make a movie? You can talk to her, as long as she is willing." Continuing to star in "The Vampire Diaries", New Era Pictures is willing to sign her agency contract and provide her with the opportunity to star in movies, not a cameo, at least an important role for the second female lead, and it is not impossible for the first female lead to see her performance .”

Sure enough, to deal with women, you have to be their compatriots, really cruel, but Yang Cheng likes it, and added fuel to the fire, "That's right, let her sign directly to New Era Pictures, the future is bright , if she still stubbornly refuses to act, then she won't even think about working in Hollywood in the future."

To be honest, 99% of Hollywood's top six stars are gods, and there is no possibility of confrontation or saying no. Although they are very domineering, there is no way, except for people like Xiao Li, Tom Hanks, Tom Crewe Si and other few superstars are qualified to negotiate conditions with the Big Six, and the rest, even the hottest first-line red stars, will not bow down to the Big Six in their attitude, but they are also extremely flattering.

That's why Donna Lande said it is so reasonable. After decades of working in Hollywood, she has always had this kind of attitude towards the so-called big stars. Unless you grow into a super star, it is possible. Get her respect.

Not to mention Yang Cheng, the pride in his bones is not comparable to that of ordinary people. It would be good if he didn't directly tie people up. I have to be grateful for growing up in the new era, where media cameras are everywhere, otherwise there is still room for conversation?

During the darkest period of Hollywood's barbaric growth, people who were as famous as Michael Jackson were not the ones who were cheated by the economic company in the end. They were neither human nor ghost, such as skin whitening and pedophilia, are they really discerning? Clear, but you have no choice. In that era when the media was underdeveloped and there was no way to justify grievances, you could only throw all your face into the sky and make money for the purpose of living, which is the kingly way.

It's not like now, a small 18th-line celebrity filming a film has a broken finger, and he has to post Weibo to ask for comfort, and then spend money to hire navy soldiers to hype it up. , but also tm comfort distressed.

Far away, in short, Yang Cheng and Donna Langde spoke together, how dare Mark Pedewitz say no, this matter must be done, otherwise he can only pack up and leave.

After chatting about the TV series, Yang Cheng asked about the copyright of the North American live broadcast of the Premier League.

"Donna, how are the negotiations with the Premier League going?"

"Boss, I'm very sorry. NBC has already started formal negotiations with the Premier League. The good news is that the other party probably doesn't know about our involvement. The members of their negotiating team seem determined to win." Donna Rondo apologized guiltily. In her opinion, Yang Cheng has already paved the road, and she is waiting for her to draw a line on it. In the end, she didn't do such a small thing well, and she was very dissatisfied with her ability and efficiency.

Although Yang Cheng didn't blame her, she sighed deeply, "It seems that it's impossible for us to pick up the loopholes. Let's get ready to follow nbg."

Donna Langde nodded heavily and said, "Indeed, before I came here, I asked my subordinates to do a survey. After all these years of disdainful efforts by NBC, the Premier League has crossed the last boundary and won the approval of the American market, because NBC's coverage of the Premier League has made football a mainstream sport in the United States.

According to ratings data: In November 2014, the average number of viewers of Arsenal vs. Manchester United reached 1.41 million, setting a record in the United States. So far in the 2014-15 season, the total number of viewers in the United States (all games combined) has approached the 200 million mark. After the end of the season, this number will not be a problem. This number is very impressive and very beneficial to us, which means After we get the copyright, we don't need to spend too much money on the promotion of the Premier League, and we can just concentrate on live broadcasting.

The current current copyright agreement for the 2013-16 season, the contract price is 55 million pounds. According to our estimation, if we want to successfully win the next six-year long-term contract, this price must be doubled at least, that is to say, the total price It is bound to exceed 1 billion US dollars.

However, we can’t be too optimistic. After all, there are so many ways to watch games today. Almost one-third of the audience choose to watch games outside their homes. At least half of these people watch games through computers and laptops. , tablet or mobile phone to watch the game, we must be prepared to be diverted by other terminal platforms. "

Yang Cheng went through Donna Land's investigation report again in his mind, took a sip from his teacup, and said, "It's easy to talk about diversion. CW TV station can develop a client for PC or mobile phone with the help of Toutiao, or simply It can be solved by directly embedding the live broadcast signal in the Toutiao app.

The key question is whether the total contract price you expected can be achieved. If you can indeed win the contract with a price of 1 billion US dollars, I think it is very cost-effective. We also have a large profit to make, but NBC will sit back and watch us Raise the price and not fight back?

If the two of us fight and lose both sides, only the Premier League will benefit in the end, not to mention our goal of increasing the ratings share of CW TV through the live broadcast of the Premier League, and the contract of more than 1 billion US dollars, our profit margin will be overwhelmed At the very least, not to mention that we have to fight for cooperation in other aspects of the Premier League, which requires a lot of money. "

Yang Cheng paused, hesitant to speak. In fact, he wanted Donna Langde to find out inside NBC through his personal relationship, what is the upper limit price for the next Premier League copyright contract. After all, Universal and NBC are brother companies.

But after thinking about it, the upright Donna Lande should disdain to use such immoral means to inquire about the business secrets of her old club.
