Chapter 140

Megan returned to the company and immediately summoned hank to talk to him about it.

Hank said, "lemes is my sister, four years older than me. We are all students of Professor Thompson. We don't have much intersection, but we met on the school day. We have contact with each other on the Trojan alumni network, and send some greeting emails on holidays."

Megan said, "Mark decided to set up a TV Department and took a fancy to his new play" intern gray ". Do you have any way to get online?"

Hank said, "of course, we are all students of Professor Thompson. We can contact him."

Megan said, "OK, it's up to you. Mark appreciates the talent of your alumni. You're responsible for bringing her over."

Hank said, "what chips do I have?"

Megan said: "she is responsible for the production. Mark will consider shooting the first episode. As for the production cost, it is not lost. Disney must have limited investment. No matter how much they pay, we are double them."

Hank said confidently, "boss, I won't let you down." As a hero of the mark Gang, Hank tried his best to show his value.

Limes suddenly received a call from Professor Thompson, the university tutor, and asked her to come to his office immediately. As a proud disciple of Professor Thompson, she has been in touch since she left school. She asked the professor to guide and correct every work she produced. After receiving the professor's call, limes immediately drove over.

In Professor Thompson's office in the teaching building of the film school of the University of Southern California, lemes saw Thompson talking happily with a young man. She also recognized that Hollywood is a circle, and there are all kinds of large and small circles in the circle. They are both people in the circle of partial drama producers. They are not strangers to each other, not to mention the other's complacency, A cutting-edge producer who is controlling a $40 million project.

Thompson smiled and said, "you are not familiar, but you must be familiar. Now I solemnly introduce you." He introduced two students with a difference of four sessions. Out of social etiquette, the two sides said hello to each other and shook hands before sitting down.

Remus said, "Professor, what's the matter with you calling me so urgently?"

Thompson said, "when you asked me to revise and polish the script of grey intern, I recommended some friends and relationships, including Hank's mm film. They are very interested, so they want to talk to you." He is happy to do the icing on the cake.

Lemmes said, "isn't mm film a film production company?"

Hank said, "we are preparing to expand our business and set up a TV production department. We have selected grey, an intern, from more than a dozen scripts, so we ask you out through Professor Thompson."

With a happy look on her face, lemmes said, "it's a great honor, but I've decided to sell the script of grey intern to Disney TV production department and officially signed it soon."

Hank was a little disappointed. He said, "that means he hasn't signed yet. Why don't you listen to our terms?"

"No problem," lemmes said Waiting to sell is the normal and smart choice in the industry.

Hank said, "I believe the cost of a single episode invested by Disney will not exceed one million. How much money to invest and how many episodes to shoot remains to be discussed. Our plan is to invest three million in a single episode and order all nine episodes. As the first work of MM TV, it does not rule out the possibility of mark directing the first episode. Several superstars of Mark's gang will guest perform."

Lemmes took a breath with emotion. This condition was unexpected. It was so good that she couldn't refuse. She said angrily, "I promised Luke, the director of Disney TV production, to sell the script to them, make a single episode of 800000, test the water for three episodes, and then decide on the subsequent plan."

Thompson said, "the data comparison is right in front of you. Do you still hesitate?"

Hank said: "yes, Disney is a large company and group, and we can't reach many advantages in resources and platforms. However, more than a dozen TV dramas are being produced in the Disney production center, and the competition is also large. What do you take to compete with desperate housewives and lost? How many resources can Disney tilt here? In mm just different, you are the only one. Mark and Megan have plenty of money, but aren't they extravagant enough to joke about tens of millions? With their relationship with Warner, publicity and operation is not a thing. With Mark's fame, is it a problem to be in prime time on TV? " Hank was the right lobbyist. He promised one big cake after another.

Thompson also said, "you have worked for Disney for five years since you graduated in 1998. These works have proved your strength, but they have not made you popular. Disney has not found your talent."

"Luke promised me to take part in directing and producing. My chance has come," lemes said

Hank said: "the amount of investment determines the CASS of the drama. Three million single episodes. Mark directs the first episode. Mark helps to participate in guest appearances. It's difficult whether you want to be popular or not. More importantly, you may not pay attention. Mark just directs the first episode and opens up the situation for you. You take over the rest. The producer and director are yours. This is your opportunity."

Lymes couldn't believe it and said, "why did Mark give me such good conditions? I'm just a newcomer, of course, for producers and directors. "

Hank said, "mark is a very talented and accurate person. He thinks you have to do it if you can. For example, he asked me to be the producer of chainsaw 2. This is a $40 million investment and I have a lot of pressure. However, mark trusted me and encouraged me. Sister, you must understand that MM has money and choices, It's a pity to miss it. "

Lemes hesitated for a long time, but she couldn't make up her mind. "I need to think about the time," she said

Hank left a business card and said, "I hope as soon as possible."

When she was in high school, rimes often spent her time as a volunteer in the hospital and aroused interest in studying the hospitalization environment. After graduating from high school, she entered Dartmouth College and obtained a bachelor's degree there. During her study in Dartmouth, she spent almost all her leisure time studying novels, directors and Drama performances.

After graduating from college, Shanda rimes moved to San Francisco with her brothers and sisters. One day, she saw a news report that "it is more difficult to enter the film school of the University of Southern California than the Law School of Harvard University". She likes to challenge herself. She didn't miss this opportunity and smoothly entered the film school of the University of Southern California to study film and television, She ranked high in the class and won the famous Gary Rosenberg writing scholarship. After a period of study, she obtained a master's degree in art from the school of film and television of the University of Southern California.

Before selling her first screenplay, lemmes worked as a film promotion assistant for several years. Until September 2001, she moved into a quiet rental house in Vermont to concentrate on creating her next screenplay. The shocking "9 / 11 incident" a few days later prompted lemmes to reassess her future and goals. She decided that her first task was to adopt a child, and she did. Nine months later, lairis adopted her daughter Harper and became a single mother (actually forced marriage by parents).

Writing a script for Princess Diaries 2 made her famous, but it was far from meeting her expectations. During this period, she wrote the script grey, an intern. In her eyes, it turned her fate. Disney TV Production Department wanted to make it a TV play. Mm may be preparing to take over the project with huge profits, which made her feel popular, At least it made her, a single black mother with more than 200 pounds, feel like a hot commodity.

After repeated consideration, she consulted some people she respected and believed, and finally decided to join mm. Disney gave her the condition that she would have a chance to be popular and successful after the success of the drama, but mm gave her this now, and MM's investment and attention in resources are far from comparable to Disney. If the gap in status between the two sides is not too large, Maybe Remus doesn't have to think about it.

In this way, Remus became the third director and producer to join mm. Megan and they also held a welcome party.

Lemmes is still an unknown person. Screenwriters in the United States are high-income occupations, but few can really become professional screenwriters with so many graduates every year. Lemmes volunteered to ABC TV station, but was mercilessly rejected. During this period, she worked as a cleaner in the hospital in order to save living expenses, After graduating for a long time, she won her first internship. As a result, Princess Diary 2 became the first Waterloo in her life. However, in the face of all the bad comments, Sanda said, I was not born to fail.

Mark appeared at the welcome party, which surprised lemmes. Mark was also happy and proud. Lemmes is the first sister in the future screenwriting industry. Grey intern is one of the three magic dramas of ABC. As a screenwriter, she has successfully produced three hot American dramas. She has almost failed in all her screenwriting and production. She not only has good ratings and good reputation, but also can make money, She once contracted ABC TV on Thursday. On Thursday, three Shanda's works were broadcast one by one. Shanda's response to the trust of the TV station was that she helped the TV station earn 300 million US dollars, and lemmes was also among the top 100 people on the Hollywood power list. She won the Emmy Award and became popular with countless stars.

Now the great God is under MM's banner, which makes mark very happy. "Grey intern" immediately enters the preparatory stage. Mark, who does what he says, immediately authorized lemes to officially prepare the drama, and mm TV Department began to recruit troops and buy equipment and tools to prepare for the new drama.
