For a TV series, the production and shooting cost of $3 million is not high. On average, it is only $300,000 per episode. This determines that "Grey's Anatomy" will not have any particularly large scenes and will not hire well-known actors or directors.

In addition, this type of TV series basically does not require special effects.

According to Shanda Remus' plan, some bodies or lesions that appear during surgery can be replaced by animal bodies and internal organs.

This can effectively save costs.

The caa moves very quickly. After signing a formal package service agreement with Shahai Entertainment, not only did it pass the information of the relevant cast and crew to Ronan and Shahai Entertainment, but also sent the script and project plan of "Grey's Anatomy" to four major TV networks.

For this type of TV series, the preferred playback platform is definitely the public TV network.

I have to say that caa does have considerable energy and has provided packaging services for many excellent TV series in the past. The projects they recommend have attracted the attention of TV stations even more.

Soon there was good news feedback. ABC TV said that it hopes that Shahai Entertainment can first shoot and produce a pilot series for "Grey's Anatomy" and conduct a pilot series on ABC TV.

Fox TV also expressed its concern appropriately.

A small-produced original drama has attracted the attention of two major TV stations before it was officially prepared, and caa played an important role in it.

Ronan also believes that the cooperation with Caa this time is very worthwhile and will help Shahai Entertainment accumulate relevant experience in shooting and production of TV series.

Shahai Entertainment has officially established a TV series production department and will be involved in more TV series shooting and production in the future.

Ronan also has plans in this regard, so Robert Lee needs to take on important tasks again.

In the study of the Future World, Robert Lee looked at Ronan and asked, "What is the goal this time?"

"A fantasy and magical." Ronan took three books from the bookshelf and handed them over to Robert Lee: "You go and contact the publisher and creators, don't worry. This belongs to our future plan, and you have plenty of time to negotiate."

Robert Lee looked at the three thick books in his hand, and the name of "Song of Ice and Fire" on the cover was particularly eye-catching.

Behind "Song of Ice and Fire", each book also has subtitles, namely "Game of Thrones", "The Disputes of Kings" and "Storm of Ice Rain".

It is obvious that this is a series, authored by George Raymond Martin, published in 1996, 1998 and 2000, respectively.

This series is strange, and Robert Lee is sure that he has never seen it or even heard of it.

In the past year, he has been dealing with all kinds of copyright holders and has basically known about works that are well-known in North America.

Since I haven't heard of it, I can only say that this series of market response is average.

Robert Lee didn't say much, just asked: "Will you shoot a movie in the future?"

Ronan shook his head: "It is estimated that it will take five years to shoot a TV series at the earliest." He reminded: "This series has not been completed yet. Please pay attention to obtaining the copyright of subsequent works during negotiations, and at least have priority."

"I understand." Robert Lee said.

He couldn't help but be curious, opened it and flipped it up quickly, after reading a few pages, he said, "It feels a bit like Tolkien's "The Lord of the Rings" series."

Ronan replied casually: "As far as I know, George Martin is a Tolkien fan."

In this series, especially in magic, George Martin once again followed the practice of his idol Tolkien and never used magic easily, making it just an element needed to render the atmosphere and rarely used on people themselves.

Therefore, some people think that "Song of Ice and Fire" is more like a parallel history of a fictional world than saying that "Song of Ice and Fire" is extremely "low demon" fantasy.

Robert Lee didn't stay for too long and quickly left with him.

Ronan is very confident in obtaining the copyright of the film and television series. The first three films that have been published do not even cost much. It is only 2001 now, and there are not many people who have noticed the "Song of Ice and Fire" series, and their influence is not very large.

The "Song of Ice and Fire" series still takes time to ferment.

In his previous life, the TV series adapted by HBO has a great influence. The sales of CDs alone have made HBO make a lot of money.

Ronan has never read George Martin's original work, but he has basically watched every episode of the TV series from season 1 to season 7. His last impression of this series is still on the fast-paced aunt and nephew who are faster and faster as the producer accelerates the plot progress.

Heavy tastes are never a problem for cable TV series.

This series also has a nickname called "Song of Killing and Fucking".

Apart from Jiong Xue and Long Mom who have opened up the cheats, the other main characters are so clean and neat.

I believe that those who have watched the series will still remember the bloody wedding. Robert Stark, who looks very good at the protagonist, was killed like a pig...

Of course, Ronan knew very well that the success of "Game of Thrones" was not based on pornography and taint.

A grand world view, touching plot, full characters, and excellent production... made this magical drama.

If you want to succeed, it is not just about getting the copyright. With Shahai Entertainment's current production strength, it is far worse than HBO in his previous life.

At that time, hbo was also called yellow (h) violence (b) and defilement (o) in the Celestial Empire. He made good use of taboo stimulation and regarded moral integrity as nothing. The amount of information was so large that it could make all Chaoyang aunts in the entire capital faint.

Shahai Entertainment is just a first-time entry in this regard.

Therefore, even if the copyright of the "Song of Ice and Fire" series is successfully obtained, Ronan will wait a few years or even longer before it will be put on the production schedule.

This requires accumulation, not only production capabilities, but also funds.

The Hbo dramas in previous lives had the same killer weapon, that is, they were not short of money.

After millions of years of evolution, humans have thought hard and summarized two eternal truths: the more expensive everything is, the better. If expensive things are not good, either they have not spent enough money or the right place.

Ronan vaguely remembers that the average production cost per episode in the first season of Game of Thrones reached $6 million, and by season 6, this number reached an astonishing 10 million, which is called the most "money-burning" series.

If you want to make movies and TV well, you have to burn money.

The kind of film where a bunch of people sing together and brags about being a god may be able to become a god movie within a niche range, but it cannot become a public classic.

As long as Shahai Entertainment has the hard power in TV series production, Ronan believes that "Game of Thrones" will become his profitable weapon.

Perhaps the night watchman's oath will be spread more widely than in previous lives.

"The long night is coming, and I will watch from now on, and I will not rest until death. I will not marry my wife, not have a fief, nor have children. I will not wear a crown, nor have I compete for honor and favor. I will do my duty and live and die here. I am the sword in the dark, the guards on the Great Wall, withstand the flames of cold, the light at dawn, awaken the horns of the sleepers, and the shields of the kingdom. I will dedicate my life and glory to the night watchmen, and this will be the same every night."

"Grey Intern" officially kicked off the prelude to Shahai Entertainment's entry into the production of TV series.

While improving the script, Shanda Remus is also forming a crew, and related work is being carried out one after another.

News soon came from Robert Lee that he had a preliminary contact with George Martin. George Martin was very interested in adapting the "Song of Ice and Fire" series into a film and television series, and was willing to negotiate with Shahai Entertainment.

But unlike Ronan's expectations, the negotiations did not go very smoothly. Before George Martin became a writer, he worked as a screenwriter in Hollywood for many years and was not unfamiliar with Hollywood, so he put forward many conditions.

As for negotiation, it is about finding common ground on differences, and no other companies will notice the "Song of Ice and Fire" series in a short time. Ronan asked Robert Lee and George Martin to talk patiently.

Nowadays, like movies, behind the popularity is often a lot of investment in publicity and marketing.

For example, the "Harry Potter" series is a typical example of successful marketing cases.

There is also the Twilight: Twilight that has been launched.

This book has entered the North American book market for one year, and the Western book market for more than half a year. The total sales volume has not exceeded 200,000 copies. Its influence among young people is not much.

The reason is that the investment in publicity is very limited, and Ronan has not even actively invested a large amount of money to promote.

"The Hunger Games" was published and launched before September, but it did not cause any waves, but some media mentioned Lindsay Bill's name.

Ronan only signed three ghostwriter contracts with Lindsay Bill. Lindsay Bill has expressed more than once that he hopes to transfer to the screenwriter department of Shahai Entertainment after completing "The Fifty Shadows of Gray", so in the subsequent sequel, Ronan will also find other gunners to write for the subsequent sequel.

Shahai Entertainment has sent a recruitment on behalf of Ronan, who hopes to determine the candidate for the Gunners before the New Year.

As for Lindsay Bill, since she wants to be a screenwriter, let her adapt "Summer of Jeans".

This typical young female theme is also suitable for female screenwriters to play.

Time gradually came to the end of August. After six weeks of screening, "The Deadly Bend" has exhausted its market potential, just like most traditional American horror films, and officially dropped from North American theaters. The North American box office finally stopped at $53.69 million.

In addition, the film's overseas box office exceeded US$15 million, and the global box office cumulative amount reached US$69.24 million.

Overseas screenings continue. According to the Embassy Pictures estimates, the global box office of this horror film is expected to reach $80 million.
