Chapter 173 The Ace of the Galaxy Movie
At this time, Tyra Banks can only be regarded as a minor celebrity in the modeling industry, and she has not even touched the threshold of a supermodel.Although the concept of supermodel was invented by Americans, the standard for measuring supermodel is closely related to Europe.American fashion magazines generally believe that a model can enter the ranks of "supermodel" as long as he can do two of the following things.One is to receive more than 15 catwalk invitations in any fashion week in Milan, Paris or London; the other is to become a queen model for any of the top brands such as Chanel, Valentino, and Saint Laurent; Cover model or feature model of Italian or French editions of top fashion magazines such as vogue and elle.
Although Tyra entered the European market at the age of 16, she is still just a humble model among many models in Europe.Once, Tyra had a chance to be in charge, but she was blocked by her senior - Naomi Campbell.In order to block his younger generation and keep the crown of "Black Pearl", Campbell did everything possible. For big brands, he took the initiative to cut prices to grab Terra's job; cooperation", directly forcing Terra to only interact with third- and fourth-tier brands in Europe.
Because the situation could not be opened in Europe, Tyra could only return to the United States disheartened.Although Tyra later successfully became an angel of "Victoria's Secret", the editors in the fashion industry only think that she is a good "commercial model".Although commercial modeling is lucrative, it's a rather insulting title for the modeling industry.Just like in the film and television industry, others say that you are "a TV actor for life".Because models want to be "high fashion models" and actors want to be "film actors".
But Jed knows that Tyra Banks may be difficult to challenge Campbell's success in the modeling circle, but she is a successful model in the TV circle.Tyra Banks not only has two shows she is the producer of, she also has her own production company.In this respect alone, Tyra Banks is much more successful than her counterpart, Heidi Klum.Of course, Jade will not let go of such a future TV personality, and Tyra's "America's Next Top Model" is indeed the flagship of the cw network's reality show.
At the recent high-level meeting of Warner Dongfeng Broadcasting Company, everyone has a clear positioning for the future we TV network. NBC is a "men's channel", which currently focuses on sports programs, news programs and late-night talk shows; CBS is an "elderly channel", which focuses on news programs and late-night talk shows, and TV dramas mainly focus on more serious and mainstream themes; abc It is "mature women's channel", which mainly focuses on life programs and variety shows. The TV dramas are either soap operas that housewives love to watch, or white-collar beauties like to watch dog-blood dramas; fox is a typical slant, it can be regarded as an "alternative channel" ...
And the result of discussion between Jade and many high-level executives is that we TV network will become a "youth channel", focusing on young people aged 14 to 25, especially young women, so the programs of we TV network will be based on reality shows and idol dramas. Mainly.Although the "Desperate Housewives" purchased earlier is somewhat older, analysts believe that this TV series will help attract marginal audiences to the we TV network.On Tuesday, Jade has already provided an idol drama for we TV network, and that is "Smallville".
Although the copyright was purchased from DC comics, the entire TV series and comics are actually another story.Jed intends to tell the story of Superman in middle school, and superheroes can have puberty troubles too.On Wednesdays and Thursdays, there are two reality shows, "American Idol" and "America's Next Top Model."Now that Taye Banks has joined, it is basically not a problem to start the broadcast on time this fall.Although WE Network is a new network, its predecessors United Paramount Networks and Warner Bros. Networks are both experienced Intercontinental Networks.The only headache is that the TV series on Friday has not been confirmed yet. Friday is the broadcast time of the flagship drama, but we TV network has not even prepared the pilot episode for this fall.
In addition to preparing his own TV series, Jed has to prepare programs to please Fox and CBS. For Fox, it's easy to say that a "Big Brother" has already made them very happy, and this time Jed also spent his money to send "America's Got Talent" to Fox for broadcast. CBS's vision is naturally not something that can be dismissed by a reality show, although "Survivor" given by Jed is indeed very good.In order to satisfy CBS, Jed had to give them two excellent TV series, "The West Wing" and "The True Colors of a Lawyer". A spinoff.
Shirley Lansing actually knew that her boss was exhausted, and planned two TV dramas and two reality shows for the We TV network in just half a year.Lansing had already seen the pilot episode of Smallville, though turning America's superhero into a shy and withdrawn American high school kid was a bit of a stretch.But Lansing quickly discovered that although this TV series is full of handsome men and beautiful women, it feels like a youth idol drama, but there are not many thoughts about society and human nature behind it.
As for "Desperate Housewives", Warner Dongfeng Broadcasting Company has already named this drama as a "rated drama".Presumably these two dramas will surprise the audience on Monday and Thursday respectively, and the reality shows on Tuesday and Wednesday are also worth looking forward to. The full-scale audition for "American Idol" is already in post-production. This kind of civilian-to-idol program is not only in line with the "American Dream" of the American people, but also in line with the mentality of the younger generation who want to show off.The only thing that makes Lansing a little worried is that the host of "America's Next Top Model" has not yet been decided. Although Jed already has a candidate, Lansing is worried that the running-in is not enough.
The only Friday skylight made Lansing helpless, not because Jed had no ideas, but because these ideas had to please other TV stations to fight for the living space of we TV network. The two reality shows "America's Got Talent" and "Survivor" are the guarantee of the ratings, while "The West Wing" and "The Lawyer" are not only the ratings guarantee, but also the Emmy Award and the Peabody Award. weapon.
"Shirley, inform the people at cbs and ask them to draw a group of people from the cbs studio, otherwise I won't be able to arrange manpower to shoot the new derivative series of "Law and Order". Tell them that trademark rights can It is owned by CBS, but we must be able to use it for free. In addition, the copyright of this drama belongs to us, and the first round of broadcasting rights are sold to them according to the old rules. The international broadcasting rights and rebroadcasting rights must follow the rules." Jed ordered .
The new derivative series launched by Jed is "Law and Order: Special Victims". This drama continues the myth of "Law and Order" in the new century, and it continues to broadcast after the home broadcast.Compared with my family, "Law and Order: Special Victims" focuses on cases of domestic violence, crimes against minors and sexual violence.Because the case is darker and the story is more bloody, although "Law and Order: Special Victims" has no way to challenge Jed's "Crime Scene Investigation" series launched last year, it is also the top ten in the weekly ratings at the same time.
Jed couldn't help shaking his head, if he tosses out the NCIs series again, I'm afraid that CBS will be regarded as its own monopoly.But what puzzled Jed the most was that cbs was able to persuade nbc to give up the right to adapt the spin-off series of "Law and Order". How do you feel if "Special Victims" is still on the air?
After dealing with the TV station, Jed began to pay attention to the comments about himself in the newspaper.There is an article that thinks that Yinhe movies are too focused on themselves, and that once they perform abnormally, it will affect the overall performance of Yinhe movies.Jed couldn't help curling his lips, why is he the only director of the Galaxy movie?Have they forgotten John Woo and Michael Bay?Did they forget about Luc Besson and Quentin Tarantino?Moreover, Galaxy Films also has two animation departments, Galaxy Animation Studio and Galaxy Animation Film Production Company...
But what makes Jed a little proud is that he harvested a young man from CBS in 1998.Although he is the contracted director of Galaxy Films, Jade has never restricted his creation.In addition to the fixed salary every year, there is also an unlimited budget. Unfortunately, this director has been shooting short films.But at the end of last year, he suddenly proposed a feature film shooting plan, and Jed immediately approved the budget after reading the script.The movie is called "Memento," and the young director's name is Christopher Nolan.
Jade has a superior-to-subordinate attitude when facing John Woo or Michael Bay, even when he meets Luc Besson or Quentin Tarantino, but only when he meets Christopher Nolan has a kind of teacher-friend attitude. a feeling of.Jed is very aware of Nolan's future achievements. Some people lament that he is "the last master of the film camera era".
Because Nolan has always insisted on using film cameras to shoot movies and is firmly against the use of digital cameras.Therefore, Nolan's films had to be handed over to the production company to reproduce in 3D, which made the film company miserable.But Jed appreciates him. Where can a real master not have a little temper and persistence?It's like the camera master who worked with Jed on "Schindler's List" and "Saving Private Ryan" and still insists on using a handheld camera!Regardless of his age, the camera was able to carry it without any problems, and the picture didn't shake at all. It almost made people think it was filmed on a rail car.
Christopher Nolan's filming of "Memento" has no leaks at all, and Galaxy Films' distribution strategy for this film is also relatively low-key.Unlike Michael Bay, Nolan needs a lot of advertising to set off. Instead, his movies follow the word-of-mouth route.For his first commercial feature film (Nolan's "Following" is the first feature film), Nolan is still very nervous.
In particular, the Yinhe film trial will not be very optimistic about the response to this film, because it is too difficult to understand.Jed didn't think that Nolan's movies well unified the tastes of cult movie lovers and mainstream movie lovers.It's a little dark, but not depressing.Although there are many violent scenes, they are more reflections on human nature.
The most important thing is that Nolan likes to make the audience brain-burning in the plot, which makes many cult movie lovers and so-called high-end movie fans very interested. This is why Nolan's movies not only have box office but also have a very good reputation. .Although Warner is now Jed's best ally, Jed does not intend to return Nolan to Warner Bros.
