Manhattan Reborn 1978

Some people always make choices in their lives unintentionally, helplessly, helplessly, and hesitantly.

good and bad.

Success and failure.

Only time can give them answers.

Sonny does.

Forrest Gump is like this.

Andy and Red, too.

Elena packed her things and got ready to board a plane to Jacksonville.

Mr. Parker was chatting with several Wall Street bosses, chatting and gossiping together.

Everyone knows what they want, and they also know that everyone here has their own purpose in getting together today.

But they all chose not to talk about the topic, and drank coffee peacefully, listening to other people's nonsense.

If this happened to David, he wouldn't be able to bear it.

It has never been his style to talk in a roundabout way like a cloud.

Harvey Studios.

Tangtang was busy filming on the set. David and the four bodyguards were standing behind Tangtang, watching with interest as Tangtang directed Lori to shoot a short film.

On the other side of the venue, there was a group of people filming another short film.

It has to be said that when art became industrialized, streamlined, and industrialized, the energy that exploded made David feel that Harvey already has the kind of film and television industry in Hong Kong that will be there in a few years, without scripts. Productivity while shooting.

At this point in time, as long as David can get Da Film and Television Company to produce programs of average quality, he can gain a large number of loyal viewers sitting in front of the TV, thereby expanding the influence of media groups, TV stations, and film and television companies. force.

"Okay, very good Lori, we will shoot another one tomorrow. I have other things to be busy with today..."

"Okay guys, put away the sets, roads, lights, and machines. Let's take a rest first. We'll have a meeting later."

Tangtang arranged the work on the set very skillfully. After doing this, she looked at the obscene and drooling five-person group standing behind her and didn't know what to say. .

David feels that he is in a very beautiful mood now after admiring such attractive art!

No wonder that silly boy Tim is obsessed with Lori.

This girl is so charming now!

She fully fulfilled all of Tim's fantasies about women.

"Tangtang, you are amazing!"

He said and gave Sugar Beauty a hug.

Tangtang patted David's back and said with a smile, "Why did you become so considerate after you returned home?"

"I've always been like this, you just didn't realize it. Haha~"

After joking for a while, the two walked into Harvey's office.

Harvey was on the phone just now to contact the screenwriter and crew from Los Angeles.

The two screenwriters have been in New York for a week. For the TV series to be filmed at the Wildfire Bar, each has written a few episode scripts and is ready to review them when David returns.

Harvey saw the two of them coming in and brought them drinks and wine: "The screenwriters will be here soon. Let's talk about the filming of the show first. David, that's why you came today, right?"

"Yeah, how are you doing here? Has the host found a suitable candidate?"

Harvey took out a bag from the drawer of his desk: "I found a few alternatives, and they are all here. They include the original TV host, the radio host, and this former newspaper food column. reporter."

"Reporters and anchors?"

David looked through the information and photos of several people, and the one he liked the most was this columnist. The information stated that she was 37 years old, but her photos looked very young.

"Have you met this reporter? How was the conversation?"

"I've seen Lindy Sherbert, divorced with two children. Her articles used to be often published in the New York Times. I've also read her articles in newspapers, but now she's not living as well as Once upon a time.”

"So do you think she is suitable to film a food show?"

Harvey thought for a moment and nodded: "When we met, after listening to my introduction, she wrote a host's lines on the spot. You see, here, I think she is quite suitable for our program."

David took a piece of paper, and a host's opening remarks were written on the paper.

"It's not bad. Can you contact her and let's meet? If possible, let's let her try shooting one episode first to see the effect."

"No problem. She lives very close. She should be at home at this time. I have a phone here."

Harvey picked up the phone and contacted Lindy.

David found the program plan, paper and pen he had written before on the table, and wrote down some of his new ideas.

Tangtang curiously approached David to see what he would write.

After thinking about it for a while, David looked at the plan and added some details that were not clearly explained.

Food programs are the type of programs that slowly gain popularity, gradually spread to the entire audience, and slowly ferment.

In the early stage, you can invite several chefs from well-known restaurants to cooperate and participate in the program. While advertising their restaurants for free, it will also increase the quality of the program.

The selection of dishes in each episode should be as close to the people as possible, with more home-cooked dishes, so that all housewives in front of the TV can develop a habit of watching the show and learning to cook.

In addition, at the recording and shooting site, several audience participation hotline numbers are broadcast in each episode, so that viewers can call in at a fixed time to participate in the filming, increase interaction with the audience, receive suggestions from the audience, and get closer distance from the audience, so as to adjust some details to make the program more perfect.

After filming the first few episodes, you can carefully select some enthusiastic viewers who are willing to participate in the filming of the program based on calls from the audience, and let them learn cooking skills from the chef and make delicious dishes with the host at the filming site.

After filming ten or twenty episodes in this way, all the lucky viewers who came before can be invited as guests to participate in the production of Thanksgiving and Christmas dinners.

Several chefs are invited to come up with one or more Thanksgiving and Christmas menus based on the votes of lucky viewers and the telephone hotline, and they are produced on the spot for the audience to taste and judge.

Um. .

After writing this, David put down the pen and read it again. He thought it was pretty good, so he handed it to Harvey.

Tangtang smiled and patted him on the shoulder: "How come I didn't notice before that you are so expert and good at filming programs?"

"So, you don't know me well enough, and you don't have the eyes to discover my strengths."

"Discover your...advantages?"

"Are you saying you want to date me?"

"Wow~ I didn't expect that you finally got the idea? Haha~ I happen to have time tonight, so why don't you invite me to a romantic restaurant for dinner together to get to know each other better?"

"No problem~ You can pick whatever you want to eat. I can call and reserve a place now. Do you like Italian food?"

"The food at Bonini's restaurant tastes very good. If it's paired with a cocktail I've carefully prepared for you, I'm sure you'll be satisfied tonight."

"You don't know Tangtang, I've already invited you to have dinner with me."

"Now, can you give me this chance?"

Tangtang smiled and pointed at David: "You never made me happy like this before, David."

"You kid is starting to learn bad habits~!?"

David smiled and held Tangtang's hand: "My Tangtang, actually, if we want to get to know each other better, we don't have to wait until night. Why don't we go now...find a room?"

Tangtang smiled and patted off David's dirty hand: "fxxx! Bastard! ~ Stop it! My goosebumps are rising! ~ I really can't stand you! ~"

Harvey sat across the table and put down the phone, looking at the two people interacting closely, feeling a little speechless.

It is said that if David wanted to take down Tangtang, he would have done it long ago.

Tangtang has been coveting David for more than one or two days.

Standing on the street was Tangtang's original livelihood and job. She had no choice, and it was impossible for her to choose according to her own whim.

That means you will be hungry and have nothing to eat!

But now, faced with David's teasing, Tangtang also played a drama of wanting to welcome and rejecting. .

This made Harvey a little unbearable. .

Office door.

The four bodyguards who came in quietly just now were holding their shoulders and laughing.

Filming was no longer going on outside, and the beautiful actress had left. They didn't expect to see such a funny scene of David teasing Tangtang in the office.

"cough~"

Harvey coughed hard and said, "Lindy has been contacted. She will be here in 10 minutes."

"David, is this what you wrote... a supplement to the shooting planning? I didn't expect you to have thought about the program in such detail!"

Harvey shook the piece of paper and said, "Do you have a goal for the chef we are hiring for this show?"

"Well, there is no target yet."

"We need to do some research on this, to study the ethnic ratio of the audience groups covered by Pine's TV network, and which audiences we really need."

"I am going to hand over this survey to the college students who will apply for the job in the next few days, and ask them to visit, check information, and do test papers to complete this matter."

"Examination paper survey? What is that? Is it handing out leaflets?"

"No, Harvey, I can't explain this to you now. You will understand it when you see the results!"

"ok~!"

"David, where do you think the filming location of this show should be? If my studio is renovated, maybe it can be completed in a week."

"That's the question... let me go out and take a look."

David gave each of the four bodyguards a punch to say hello, and then walked out of the office and walked around.

Harvey's studio was really well chosen. It is now divided into three shooting locations and an office area.

In the middle of the three venues, there is also a small area for makeup and rest.

As for the dressing room and clothing room, what is that?

After walking through the gate here, follow the director's instructions and the filming is over.

Where can there be so much attention to detail?

The people who come here for filming are all veterans who have seen all kinds of beautiful actresses.

Only David and a few bodyguards would drool over the beautiful actresses working in the film if they didn't see these scenes often.

After walking around in a big circle, I looked at the sundries and props room.

David shook his head.

The place here is large enough, but it needs to be renovated, which is time-consuming and labor-intensive. Some basic water, electricity, flues, lighting, etc. need to be redesigned and constructed, which is too troublesome.

It is better to find a venue with complete infrastructure and large enough space, use it as a blank sheet of paper, and redesign and decorate it.

He walked back to the office and sat back down.

"Harvey, what about the kitchen at your home you mentioned last time? It would be too troublesome to transform it into a filming location. I might as well go to your home for filming."

Harvey suddenly choked on his words, smiled awkwardly and stopped talking.

Tangtang couldn't help laughing when she heard this.

David doesn’t know yet, but Harvey is managed by his wife, so that’s what he calls a good boy~

It turns out that Harvey, who was still a fat little guy with a beer belly, was forced by his wife to give up beer, French fries, Coke, cheese cake, etc.

Only eat healthy, green, nutritious diet cookies. .

Looking at Harvey now, he really looks like a wild wolf and wants to cry. .Thin Ma Gan ~

Tangtang glanced at the four idiot spectators standing at the door, put her arms around David's neck, and told him about the situation at Harvey's house in his ear.

David looked up and down at Harvey in surprise: "So, what you told me last time was all just false talk and deceiving me?"

Harvey smiled sheepishly: "You can't say that. If we set the shooting location in my home, we can also renovate my home, right? My wife will definitely, should, maybe agree... right?"

His voice became softer and softer, causing David and Tangtang to laugh. .

David really didn’t expect that this Harvey would be so loving, henpecked, and so interesting~

"Okay, I'll figure out how to handle the venue. Let's decide on the host first, then do a survey to see the data, find a restaurant to hire a chef, and get the process started."

"Also, Harvey, you need to recruit more professional talents to form a large shooting team that is reliable, capable and well-coordinated."

"The programs we want to film are not just food programs, but also job hunting, investment, and outdoor competition programs."

"So Harvey, as the manager of Da Film and Television Company, you need to recruit several capable and experienced directors to direct."

"By the way, there is also a TV series we are going to shoot. You need to find a suitable director. I can help you with the script in the early stage. You will also need to form a team to handle it later."

"Man, from now on you have to step into a new role and take charge of the overall situation."

"You're not the boss of Harvey Studios anymore, man!"

"You are now General Manager Harvey of our Da Group Film and Television Company!"

After David said what he said, he held back the last sentence: "If you fall behind and cannot keep up with the pace of development, you will face elimination."

Now the film and television company is still a mess, with only a few little sparrows.

By putting excessive pressure on Harvey, David was afraid that he would not be able to complete these initial and most difficult tasks.

Harvey was opposite, taking notes and nodding.

Of course he understood that this was an opportunity to change his destiny.

From that day, after the two of them finished talking at the door of Bonini's restaurant, Harvey nodded and agreed to David's invitation.

He had been tied to David's broken ship and could not get out. .

Um. .

To say that I can't go on is a bit exaggerated.

It should be said that Harvey now fully understands how lucky he is to be able to hook up with David.

After David gave the Sidrich family a business idea for making a small film.

Those guys from the Sidrich family began to use various methods to get most of the private film and television studios in New York, integrating this industry that was not favored by gangs in the past, but with fast money and a booming market, and wanted to In the eastern United States, they have joined forces with multiple gangs to monopolize the small film industry.

Trust to find out!

It belongs to the super trust company in the small film industry-da Popular Entertainment Company~!

What a weirdo!

After hearing David's plan, Harvey complained and lamented, all that was left was sighing and self-examination.

Can you follow David's plan and complete all the filming plans of the film and television company as needed?

This is the biggest life opportunity and test before Harvey.

"David, I have watched your other program planning several times. Among them, after the food program, we are going to shoot an outdoor competition program. It needs..."

Harvey arranged all the planning books written by David and discussed their details and program requirements with David one by one.

David came here today just to settle this matter.

So the two started chatting about the show.

This conversation lasted until about ten o'clock in the evening.

In the meantime.

David met the beautiful reporter Lindy, chatted with her about the show's shooting plan, and asked her to improvise some of the host's lines on the spot.

David was very satisfied with Lindy's appearance, figure, temperament and conversation.

Lindy, 37 years old, stood there like a beautiful housewife in her neighbor's house.

The kindness and affinity that are ingrained in her bones make it easier for her to be accepted by the audience when she hosts the show.

After chatting about some details, we made an appointment to sign the shooting contract.

Lindy held Boss David's hand and whispered goodbye to him in a soft voice.

She never wanted to let go of her hand. . .

For such a young, handsome, talented and rich boss, Lindy would not have any idea unless she was a fool.

Lindy told David her address with a wave of eyes, hoping that he could go there if he had time, have a drink together, and have some in-depth communication.

Of course David understood what she meant, smiled and nodded, saying that he would definitely visit her someday.

Send off the new food show host, Lindy.

Tangtang and Harvey looked at David with smiles.

It seems that this little piece of meat has been targeted by a werewolf who can transform.

David said: "Haha~ You are all overthinking it. I am not the innocent Little Red Riding Hood in the fairy tale! A werewolf or something wants to eat me, and she needs better teeth!~"

Harvey laughed.

Tangtang scoffed at this! ~

After Lindy left, two screenwriters from Los Angeles also rushed to Harvey's office.

David chatted with them about the idea of ​​filming a TV show in a pub.

He had watched a similar TV series in his previous life, and several of the episodes made David laugh from ear to ear.

Therefore, the main positioning of this TV series is to be real, relaxed, funny, and have accurate character positioning.

In terms of plot, you can incorporate real hot news topics and some illogical and funny plots. After seeing how well the audience accepts it, you can continue to improve and write the script.

It was obvious that both screenwriters were fooled by David.

This is simply not the amount of work that two people can accomplish!

David made it clear that the treatment would be favorable, and they could invite friends to work here. As long as the quality of the shooting was guaranteed, everything else could be negotiated!

The two screenwriters immediately patted their chests and said: There are plenty of people, and as long as we have enough money, it won't be a problem to get [-] good people to come to New York!

hehe~

David smiled and continued chatting with them for a while.

But in my heart, I mourned for a few seconds for these two guys who had never seen Landlord Polly's powerful methods.

Money, want to dig it out of Polly's hands?

Man, you guys are really overthinking this!
