"So, can you tell me about your inspiration about the script, Allen?"

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 returns to Universal Pictures. Even for the sake of money, Ron Mayer will not shy his face at Zhao Yuan.

Facing Ron Mayer's inquiry, Zhao Yuan pretended to be careful to roughly tell the plot that had been prepared in his heart.

"Simply put, this is a sitcom narrated and filmed in the form of a pseudo-documentary. It mainly focuses on three different American families, ordinary American parents who raise three children, a homosexual husband and wife adopt an adopted daughter to form a family of three with Vietnam, a 60-year-old man welcomes him, the old husband and young wife marry a hot exotic beauty, and the beauty also has a fat 11-year-old son. These three families seem to have nothing to do with each other, but they have unique family connections."

"uh-huh."

After listening to the plot inspiration explained by Zhao Yuan, the polite smile on Ron Mayer's face gradually restrained and became a little serious.

"Pseudo-documentary sitcom, a good idea."

He nodded gently, and did not applaud the creativity as soon as possible, but did not directly reject the concept.

Instead, continue to ask.

"Can I know a further plot content, such as setting the background of the era and the introduction of characters in the play, of course, the most important thing is the overall tone of the whole drama?"

After hearing Ron Mayer's questioning, Zhao Yuan knew that the whole thing had been basically half successful.

However, this is not something that is too exciting.

After all, the script he gave has been tested in itself, and the renewal of eleven consecutive seasons proves how popular this drama is.

Therefore, Zhao Yuan just continued to maintain his calm expression and told the plot of the script as briefly as possible to Ron Mayer in front of him.

Although, it is difficult to show all the advantages of a sitcom through verbal explanation alone.

However, through the plot mentioned by Zhao Yuan.

Ron Meyer was still a little funny by some of the plots.

"It seems, Alan, you are not only talented in writing horror, but you are just as good at comedy."

After listening to the description of the first episode.

Ron Mayer couldn't hide the smile on his lips, and he also admired Zhao Yuan in front of him more and more.

A screenwriter who can create sitcoms must have a wider audience than a screenwriter who can only create horror scripts.

“In fact, before I created Texas Chainsaw Massacre, I had been gaining experience at work as a sitcom writer.”

Accept Ron Mayer's praise with ease.

With Wen Ziren's reminder, Zhao Yuan also knew that modesty is not popular in the Western world.

Instead of being so polite and distorted, it is better to admit it openly.

Anyway, no matter what the situation in the original world "Modern Family" is.

At least, in this world, the American drama "Modern Family" is already surnamed Zhao.

The reason why I chose the American drama "Modern Family" as my second stepping stone after the success of "Texas Chainsaw Massacre".

It’s not that Zhao Yuan likes this drama very much.

In fact, his first choice was "The Walking Dead", an American drama called the first zombie TV series in American television history.

After all, with the premise that a horror movie like "Texas Chainsaw Massacre" was successful, he would create a zombie-type thriller TV series at least not that strange. With the successful work of "Texas Chainsaw Massacre", the entire TV series will be much smoother.

Unfortunately, although the idea is perfect, the reality is not as beautiful as expected.

After his investigation, it was found that the story of "The Walking Dead" had a prototype. If he wanted to adapt it, he had to discuss it with the author of the comic. If Zhao Yuan's memory was not wrong, he vaguely remembered that he had heard of "The Walking Dead" in the original world and thought that the copyright relationship between the comic was sued.

Thinking of this passage, Zhao Yuan's interest in "The Walking Dead" suddenly decreased greatly.

He didn't want to think that in the future, he would think that the inexplicable relationship would be involved in completely irrelevant copyright disputes.

Leaving the Walking Dead, Breaking Bad or later Game of Thrones is also a good choice.

However, for both, the story of "Breaking Bad" season 1 seemed to have been written earlier, but it was not accepted by the senior executives of major TV stations. "Game of Thrones" is also somewhat more troublesome than the original script because of its adaptation.

Therefore, after thinking about it, Zhao Yuan finally chose a sitcom like "Modern Family" with a relatively simple plot and no need to spend a lot of energy to conceive.

"very good."

Nodding, Ron Meyer looked at Zhao Yuan in front of him and soon entered his role.

"For the sitcom you mentioned, Universal Studios is interested in participating in the production of the sitcom drama, so the most important thing next is the script. I hope to get the content of the first episode of this sitcom drama and do the next job well."

The filming of Hollywood TV series is not simply about holding the script.

On the contrary, because the production mode is adopted for shooting and playing.

The first episode of a TV series becomes extremely important, and it is also the result of the screenwriter's efforts to polish the creation. Because the quality of the first episode often determines the existence of the entire TV series. The plot impresses the TV station. So congratulations on at least this TV series has a life for one season, but if it fails, all efforts will be gone for a period of time.

This is why the plot of the first episode in American dramas is often wonderful, and the more loopholes it is, the more it is.

Unfinished endings are not only popular in novels and comics, but also the norm in American dramas.

Almost all American dramas with names cannot escape the fate of unfinished endings, just sooner or later.

"In fact, I've already 'created' the script for the first episode in advance."

Faced with Ron Mayer's decisive attitude, Zhao Yuan calmly took out the script he had "created".

“…”

Looking at the script handed in front of him, Ron Mayer's expression was slightly stunned.

He quickly came to his senses and looked at Zhao Yuan in front of him, Ron Mayer said meaningfully.

"It seems, Alan, you are full of confidence in this TV series."

"If I don't even believe in the script I've 'created', what can I use to convince you, Mr. Ron Mayer?"

Ron Mayer did not show too obvious reaction to Zhao Yuan's words.

As the vice president of Universal Pictures' film and television distribution department, he has read too many wonderful scripts, but the final result of the finished product he shot is in a mess.

Among them, the most recent example is "Fake God 2", which just made the world lose a lot of money not long ago.

Of course, Ron Mayer knew very well that it was stupid to argue with the screenwriter in terms of plot.

Therefore, he didn't say much.

I just lowered my head, looked at the script in my hand, and read out the name of the TV series.
Chapter completed!
