Chapter 14 Preparation

After handing over the script of the first episode of "Modern Family" to Universal, the whole thing basically came to an end.

The subsequent matters of the TV series will be carried out by Global's film and television distribution department, including subsequent TV station negotiations. Global has a dedicated lawyer to handle the copyright of the TV script for him.

So, the only thing Zhao Yuan can do now is to wait quietly.

Once the global film and television distribution department and which TV station reach a consensus, the subsequent TV series shooting will begin.

However, the Thanksgiving holiday is coming soon.

In America, Thanksgiving is a relatively important festival, although the person you are grateful for is now buried.

But this does not prevent Americans from paying attention to Thanksgiving.

As a legal holiday, even Hollywood big capital like Global must have a regular holiday. Therefore, Zhao Yuan estimated that when "Modern Family" really starts to contact major radio stations to invest in scripts, it will take a few more days tonight.

Not to mention, even if the TV station expresses its intention for the script, the crew will be ready to finish the first episode, the filming of the film and the subsequent investigation, and will be delayed until April and May next year. In other words, Zhao Yuan will have to wait at least half a year before "Modern Family" is officially put into filming.

The whole process is cumbersome and complicated.

The only good news during this period is that once the script is selected, the TV station will pay the screenwriter a certain amount of remuneration to buy the script for the first episode. The remuneration costs are often closely related to the screenwriter's reputation as a lawyer. Judging from Zhao Yuan's experience, the remuneration will move up and down from 50,000 to 500,000, and the more famous the screenwriter gets, the more it will get.

It seems a lot, but all of this is based on the screenwriter's creation and revision of scripts in recent years.

Moreover, the premise for the TV station to pay remuneration is that the script is selected to shoot the pilot episode. If it is not selected, it basically means that the screenwriter's efforts throughout the year are in vain.

Even if the first season of the TV series is renewed successfully, it is common to be cut off once the ratings do not meet the TV station's expectations.

For example, Zhao Yuan in this world was killed in the scene drama where he was originally hired, and was in a trance of poverty and despair, so he was now traveling through time by him.

Although, the market for TV series is cruel and uncertain.

However, Zhao Yuan had full confidence in the script he had "created".

It is naturally not easy to be able to be successfully renewed for the eleven seasons of TV series.

Not to mention, the series of awards behind "Modern Family" also gave Zhao Yuan greater courage and confidence.

Of course, even if the "Modern Family" is just like that, it may be a trauma for ordinary screenwriters, but for him it is just an occasional parallel world butterfly effect. Compared with these ordinary screenwriters, his biggest advantage is naturally that the assets of the entire world that he is backed by behind him provide his inspiration for his "creation".

If so, it fails again.

Well, he still has a system.

...

During the day, the Chinese area of ​​Compton in Los Angeles became a little bustling.

On the messy streets, all kinds of African-Latinx immigrants gathered together in vain. Occasionally, women wearing exposed clothes walked through the streets, and they could hear their strange screams like baboons in heat.

Through these black people's gathering places, Zhao Yuan was 100% energetic and looked straight.

Although it is daytime now, it does not mean that Compton is not in danger.

The diligent blacks who "according to laws and regulations" only exist in TV news reports. Most of the blacks wandering here are a group of idle and dangerous people.

"Maybe, I should have moved out from here soon."

Every time I experience the ‘simple’ folk customs of Compton, Zhao Yuan’s idea of ​​moving away becomes stronger and stronger.

However, on the one hand, the lease he signed with the landlord had only half a month left. If he moved out now, the stingy landlord would never return the remaining rent to him; on the other hand, Zhao Yuan felt that the chaotic security situation in Compton was simply the most ideal place for the evolution of the script.

After these days, Zhao Yuan had basically chosen the [evolution location] of his next script.

All that needs to be carried out next is the creation of the second script and the preparation of materials.

With the experience of the first script "Cycle", Zhao Yuan had plenty of time to deal with everything in the new script and avoided being in a hurry like before.

In my mind, I was thinking about the content of the new script.

Zhao Yuan passed through several dirty and messy neighborhoods full of graffiti, stopped in front of the sign of "Kelaile" and quickly walked past.

After passing the restaurant location and walking nearly a hundred meters further, an apartment full of the 1970s appeared in front of Zhao Yuan.

Seeing the apartment he was familiar with, Zhao Yuan felt relieved in his heart, and the heart he had already raised was relieved.

Drop, dop!

However, before he could get close to the apartment, the harsh whistle of a car coming from behind him rang out.

Turning his head and looking at the car less than four or five meters away from him, Zhao Yuan subconsciously gave in to the side.

The car passed by him and parked accurately in front of the apartment.

When he opened the car door, a black girl dressed in a hot and explosive head walked out of the car.

"Dear, come and pick me up tomorrow..."

He reached out to take a few bills from the driver's window. The little black girl lowered her head and gently pointed at the man in the car, turned her head and looked at Zhao Yuan not far away, rolled her eyes at him and showed a disdainful expression, then twisted her waist and walked upstairs.

"As old as a child, you can be a grandpa."

Zhao Yuan didn't take Hei Niu's disdain seriously.

On the contrary, his eyes swept over the driver's seat in the car, and his eyes stopped on the other party's gray hair for a moment, and he couldn't help but nod.

...

"…Fu** you, you, Bichi, are getting along with that old man again..."

When I went upstairs and passed a room in the apartment, the quarrels from inside were clearly heard through Zhao Yuan's ears even through the door.

Ignoring this quarrel scene that was almost every day, I came to the door of the room I rented and stopped.

Open the room and close the door.

The fierce quarrel became looming, and Zhao Yuan's eyes fell on the items he had prepared in the room.

"Finally, everything is ready."

Looking at the [materials] he prepared for the next new script, Zhao Yuan said with a look of eagerness to try.
Chapter completed!
