Besides, Yi Feiyang, who returned after a failed attempt, seems to have been mentally prepared for not being able to convince Michael Jackson to join him in "Dance Floor". Therefore, when he returned to the company, the first thing he did was to write the script for this drama.
It has been revised in more detail to be closer to Mike's own story.
Script content: For Mike, recognized as the best dancer in the United States, dancing is not only a passion, but also the motivation for him to live! So, when he found himself betrayed by his sophisticated and manipulative partner Peter, he was expelled.
When he left the dance academy he founded, his dream was shattered in an instant. He lost the courage to continue struggling in the dance world, and even lost his confidence in life. The sarcasm and ridicule around him was like a sharp knife, which made him
Feel the pain in my heart...
By chance, Mike met three young and beautiful girls. They were all lovers of street dance. They were extremely talented and had an incomparable love for dance. Mike saw in them the youthful spirit of their youth.
Himself, he suddenly came up with the idea of whether he could train them to participate in the annual singing and dancing competition in the United States... With the emergence of this idea, Mike found the courage to fight again, and extremely difficult challenges also followed.
Come……
It can be said that Yi Feiyang directly modified the script of "Battle on the Dance Floor" into the story of Mike's personal struggle, and also transformed several male actors in the future drama into young and beautiful beauties. Since then,
The watchability of this drama has been greatly enhanced. Not only is the beauty eye-catching, but it is also closer to the aesthetics of North American audiences.
After the revision of the script was completed, Yi Feiyang considered how to send the script to Mike for reading.
This is a very arduous task. You must know that it is not easy to contact Mike, especially such trivial matters as sending scripts. It is said that there are enough scripts in Mike's trash can to pile up into a pyramid every year.
Mike was very dismissive of the script. He was even less interested in filming.
If I had rashly sent the script over, I would have been thrown into the trash can, not to mention that I had scolded Mike. Even if he hadn't been thrown into the trash can, he might have been torn into pieces by Mike to vent his anger.
After thinking about it for a while, Yi Feiyang finally made up his mind and secretly asked someone to send it to Michael Jackson's agent. He asked the agent to read the story of the play first and if he thought it was good or very good, he would then let the agent do it.
Give it to Mike to see... Although this roundabout way of going back and forth is much better than giving it directly to Mike.
With the idea in mind, Yi Feiyang began to send people to implement his plan, telling the client that he must let Mike see the script, no matter what the cost.
After finishing this matter, Yi Feiyang found Dures, the company's publicity director whom he trusted and valued most. He told him that he was going to start the "Dance Floor Battle" plan immediately and asked him if he had any good ideas.
Dures, as usual, spoke incisively and without being wordy. He said: "Hype, draft, select actors!"
A simple sentence, but Yi Feiyang's eyes couldn't help but light up. It's a very good idea. If you just hold a press conference, it will be thankless, and it can't compare with the promotion of "The Matrix". If it is just published in newspapers and magazines
Large-scale advertisements will be criticized as being too tacky and unoriginal, not to mention that it costs a lot of money. But now, under the guise of selecting actors, the promotion plan of "Dance Floor Battle" is implemented, killing two birds with one stone, absolutely cheap!
"That's it, Lao Du, I'll leave this matter to you!" Yi Feiyang made the decision directly.
Dures is definitely a genius in publicity. According to the traditional method of recruiting actors, it is nothing more than setting up a few tables in the company and then interviewing them one by one. It is like recruiting personnel in the early days of Fantasy Pictures. But Dures just can't
Taking an unusual approach, this guy actually proposed a TV talent show in conjunction with the American Fox TV station.
Fox TV is one of the largest TV stations in the United States. It and 21st Century Fox both belong to Fox Media Company. Its business policy has always been known for its bold innovation. It is one of the few innovators among TV stations. It does not like to follow trends and promotes itself ---fox
, don’t take the usual path!
In fact, Fox's business policy has helped it gain a firm foothold in the American television industry, which is full of strong players. It has also attracted countless creative young people to join the station, making the company's business prosperous.
There is a saying that the speaker has no intention, but the listener has intention.
Dures' words directly inspired Yi Feiyang. It seems that in his previous life, the popular program "American Idol" was also produced by Fox TV Company... Oh no, to be precise, in the UK in 2001
The TV station launched the original talent show "Pop Idol". At the end of the first session, three high-quality idols in the music industry were discovered. The idol whirlwind swept the world. Fox Broadcasting Company had a keen eye and bought the rights to the program for more than 70 million US dollars and adapted it appropriately.
The purpose was to discover local American singers. Later, the same producer of this show also produced the dancer talent show "Dance Floor Battle"...
Thinking of this, Yi Feiyang told Dures about the composition, judging, and the entire process and model of the two sub-programs of the talent show "Dance Floor Battle" and "American Idol" that he conceived.
What kind of person is Dures? When I heard this, I immediately became alert. This pair of sentences is a new type of program that can make history!
At this moment, Dures looked at Yi Feiyang, as if he had seen a monster. If he had just touched the surface of these two talent shows, Yi Feiyang had directly touched his soul. No, to be precise, he was able to do so in such a short period of time.
Within a short period of time, the entire process and entire model of the two talent shows were completely designed. This is simply a fucking genius!
Dures suddenly felt that he had always considered himself to be more talented than anyone else, but compared to his boss Yi Feiyang, he was insignificant and incomparable.
If Dures used to be a "genius" and "strategist" in Fantasy Pictures, he was no match for anyone. But now, he has completely surrendered in front of Yi Feiyang. He admires Yi Feiyang.
The whole body fell into disbelief!
Just do it if you think about it!
According to the model of the two talent shows "Dance Floor" and "American Idol" mentioned by Yi Feiyang, Dures drafted the plan overnight and found his old friend and classmate the next morning.
, now the production manager of Fox Television Company, Scott.
The two old friends met and each sighed. Scott considered himself to be in a high position now and was very prominent in the TV station. In comparison, Dures was just the publicity director of a small film company, so he was inevitably a little proud.
But he said that if it hadn't been for the situation in the Dures family back then, the current situation might be better than his own. Then Scott started to say that his car had problems recently and he was planning to pay a down payment of 300,000 to buy a new car.
, if there is a chance, I will take Dures for a ride. As an old friend, I want to get together more...
Dures didn't say much about this. Faced with the show-off from his old friend, he just picked up the phone lightly and directly pre-ordered a sports car worth 1 million US dollars. Then he shrugged and said to his friend Scott: "
I got a little dividend last month, and I can just pay off it in one lump sum to buy a car and go for a ride, so I don’t have to take yours!”
Scott: "...?!"
After a moment, he came back to his senses and coughed a few times, "Brother, I think we should get down to business!"
…
In the office.
Dures laid out the two plans of "Dance Floor" and "American Idol" very simply and neatly.
Scott was also a good judge of goods, so he immediately knew how much energy it contained. He immediately called the top person in charge of the TV station and several senior executives.
Not to mention, as one of the top TV stations in the United States, their work efficiency is the same as their news efficiency, which is super high! Unlike Tianchao, they study and study again and again, and hold meetings again and again. After the project is established, the day lily is cold.
After a brief exchange of ideas, Fox executives agreed that this was a rare opportunity and an extraordinary idea. If it can be successful as planned, American entertainment programs will suffer an unprecedented earthquake in the future.
The people at Fox are all monkeys and monkeys. After realizing this, they immediately proposed to Dures that they were willing to pay a high price to buy out these two talent shows from Dream Company.
Dures and others smiled slightly and only said, "We can develop it together, but we won't sell it!"
The meaning is very simple and clear. Let’s do it together and make money together. We will not sell this thing to you.
In the United States, copyright is a very important thing. Whether it is a TV work, any book, or any completed project, as long as you apply for legal protection, other companies cannot use or copy it casually.
Fox TV Company unexpectedly had such a huge appetite on the part of Dreams and wanted to join forces with Fox to enter the television industry... If Yi Feiyang were here, he might have shouted out a misunderstanding. He only came up with this idea by accident. As for entering
TV shows have no such intention at all.
However, for Yi Feiyang's strategist Dures, this is definitely a rare springboard to directly expand the market from movies to television. In any case, it is a very cost-effective deal.
Fox people started meeting again.
Dures was calm, drinking coffee, and when he got impatient, he said, "I'm sorry, if you haven't decided yet, I have a date with ABC TV station..."
Just this sentence directly caused everyone at Fox to shorten the meeting time, and finally made a decision to Dures, "Okay, let's do it together!"
