"So, can you tell us about your inspiration for the script, Alan?"
New York, Universal Pictures.Ron Meyer looked at Zhao Yuan in front of him with a faint smile on his face."
Texas Chainsaw Massacre" has brought more than double the excess income to Universal Pictures, even for the sake of money, Ron Meyer will not throw a face at Zhao Yuan.In the face of Ron Meyer's inquiry, Zhao Yuan pretended to carefully say the plot that had been prepared in his heart.To put it simply, this is a sitcom narrated and filmed in the form of a pseudo-documentary, focusing on three different American families, ordinary American parents raising three children, a gay couple with Vietnamese adopted daughters to form a family of three, a 60-year-old man Ying, an old husband and young wife married a hot exotic beauty, and the beauty also has an 11-year-old fat son.These three families may seem to be unrelated to each other, but they have a unique kinship with each other. ”"Uh-huh."
After listening to Zhao Yuan's plot inspiration, the somewhat polite smile on Ron Meyer's face gradually converged and became a little more serious."
Pseudo-documentary-style sitcom, good idea."
He nodded his head and didn't applaud the idea at first, but he didn't reject the concept outright.Instead, he continued to ask."
Can I know the further plot content, such as setting the background of the era in the play, the introduction of the characters, and of course, the most important thing is the overall tone of the whole play?"
Hearing Ron Meyer's questioning, Zhao Yuan knew that the whole thing was basically half of the success.It's not too much to get excited about, though.After all, the 'idea' of the script he gave was already tested, and the eleven consecutive seasons of renewal are a testament to how popular the show is.Therefore, Zhao Yuan just continued to maintain his calm expression and told the plot of the script as plainly as possible to Ron Mayer in front of him.Although, it is difficult to show all the advantages of a sitcom through words alone.However, through the plot in Zhao Yuan's mouth.Ron Meyer is still a little amused by some of the plots."
It seems that Alan is not only gifted in writing horror, but also in comedy."
After listening to the description of the first episode.Ron Meyer couldn't hide the smile on the corner of his mouth, and he appreciated Zhao Yuan in front of him more and more.A screenwriter who can create and write a sitcom definitely has a wider audience than a screenwriter who only writes horror scripts."
In fact, before I created 'The Texas Chainsaw Massacre,' I was working as a sitcom writer."
Accept Ron Meyer's praise calmly.With Wen Ziren's reminder, Zhao Yuan also knows that modesty is not popular in the Western world.Instead of twisting it politely, it is better to admit it generously.Anyway, no matter what the situation of the original world "Modern Family" is.At least, in this world, the American drama "Modern Family" is already surnamed Zhao.The reason why he chose the American drama "Modern Family" as his second stepping stone after the success of "Texas Chainsaw Massacre".It's not that Zhao Yuan likes this drama much.In fact, his first choice at first was "The Walking Dead", an American drama with what is claimed to be the first zombie TV series in the history of American television.After all, under the premise of the success of a horror movie like "Texas Chainsaw Massacre", he went to create a zombie-type thriller TV series, at least it wouldn't feel too strange and disobedient, and with the success of "Texas Chainsaw Massacre", the entire TV series production process would be much smoother.Unfortunately, unfortunately, although the idea is perfect, the reality is not as good as expected.After his investigation, he found that the story of "The Walking Dead" has a prototype, and if he wants to adapt it, he must discuss it with the author of the comics, and if Zhao Yuan's memory is not wrong, he vaguely remembers that he had heard "The Walking Dead" in the original world and thought that there was a lawsuit over the copyright of the comics.Thinking of this paragraph, Zhao Yuan's interest in "The Walking Dead" suddenly decreased.He didn't want to be dragged into a completely unrelated copyright dispute in the days to come.Leaving The Walking Dead aside, Breaking Bad or Game of Thrones is also a good choice.However, the story of the first season of "Breaking Bad" seems to have been created earlier, but it was not accepted by the executives of major TV stations, and "Game of Thrones" is also more troublesome than the original script to some extent because of the adaptation.Therefore, after thinking about it, Zhao Yuan finally chose "Modern Family", a sitcom with a relatively simple plot and no need to spend a lot of energy to conceive, as his stepping stone."
Good."
Nodding, Ron Mayer looked at Zhao Yuan in front of him, and soon entered his role."
For the sitcom you mentioned, Alan, Universal Pictures is interested in participating in the production, so the next most important thing is the script, and I hope to be able to get the content of the first episode of this sitcom so that I can run the rest of the work."
The filming of Hollywood TV dramas is not just about starting with a script.On the contrary, it is a production mode that plays while shooting.The first episode of the TV series has become extremely important, and it is also the result of the screenwriter's most energy polishing and creation, because the quality of the first episode often determines the existence of the entire TV series, and the plot impresses the TV station, so congratulations on at least this TV series has a season of life, but if it fails, all the efforts will be in vain for a while.This is also why the plot of the first episode of American dramas is often wonderful, and the further you go, the more holes it becomes.Unfinished endings are not only popular in novels and comics, but also in American dramas.Almost all the famous American dramas can't escape the fate of unfinished, it's just sooner or later."
In fact, I have already 'written' the script for the first episode in advance."
In the face of Ron Mayer's resolute attitude, Zhao Yuan calmly took out the script he 'created'."......" looked at the script handed to him, and the expression on Ron Meyer's face was slightly stunned.Quickly came back to his senses and looked at Zhao Yuan in front of him, Ron Meyer said with a meaningful face."
It seems that Alan, you are full of confidence in this TV series.""
If even I don't believe in the script I've 'written,' what can I do to convince you, Mr.
Ron Meyer?"
Ron Meyer did not show too obvious a reaction to Zhao Yuan's words.As vice president of film and television distribution at Universal Pictures, he's seen so many great scripts that the final result is a mess.Among them, the most recent example is "Fake Gods 2", which just made Universal lose a lot of money not long ago.Of course, Ron Meyer is well aware that arguing with the writers about the plot is a foolish thing to do.Therefore, he did not say anything more.just lowered his head, put his eyes on the script in his hand, and read out the name of the TV series."
