Unscripted Life of a Transmigrated Tycoon

Chapter 13: Chapter 13 Talent Show



"A moving fable about loss and the pain of adolescence, written through the lens of a brilliant imagination." ----- Los Angeles Times

"Written in a clear and engaging way, Dark Fairy Tale is a captivating, magical, and thoughtful book." - USA Today

John was a little flattered when he read the book reviews in major newspapers. He knew that "Dark Fairy Tale" was not as good as some newspapers boasted. Xuele Publishing House played a huge role in it. This was also the biggest gain after signing with them. Bar.

The book review in "USA Today" is very pertinent, written in a clear and engaging way. This is indeed his current writing method. The description of the movie scene is full of pictures. John folded the newspapers one by one and put them on the side of the dining table. Continue to eat his mixed Chinese and Western breakfast.

After breakfast and a short rest, he began to exercise in the fitness room. Under the guidance of a fitness coach for a month, his fitness training has become a habit.

After a month of understanding, the fitness coach discovered that John's physical fitness was not as weak as it seemed on the surface. Instead, he found that his strength was improving rapidly with exercise. However, John did not know how to use this strength and just blindly He had to use equipment to consume energy, so the coach suggested that John learn boxing and yoga to better control his body's strength.

Seeing the muscles on his body becoming more and more obvious, John was a little distressed. He didn't want to become that kind of muscular man.

As for Chinese Kung Fu, John has nothing to think about. He has no foundation in practicing since he was a child. His current brute strength alone is just a flower in the mirror. If he fails to practice Cha Choi again, his body will become useless. An unjust death.

Boxing and yoga can not only control the way you use strength but also exercise your body's flexibility. Coaches are easy to find, but if you want to find a powerful martial arts master, you're really looking for a needle in a haystack. As for those martial arts schools, John can only wonder.

After an hour of exercise, John was covered in sweat. He wiped the sweat off his face and neck with a towel, took off his shoes and socks while sitting on a rest chair, walked into the bathroom barefoot, and stripped off his clothes, which were wet with sweat. I put on my sports vest and shorts, turned on the water valve and started taking a shower.

When he thought about the new book he wanted to write, he couldn't help but hesitate. It was really difficult to choose between "The Bourne Supremacy", "National Treasure" and "Inception".

It seems that the themes of espionage and treasure hunting cannot be published yet. After all, he still has the aura of a young writer. With little experience and accumulation, how can he be convincing?

On the contrary, the story of "Inception" can be written. As for the original author and director Nolan, John doesn't care.

Scripts and the like are not within the scope of his consideration. The script written by a new Hollywood screenwriter only costs 50,000 to 80,000 US dollars. A screenwriter with an annual salary of 600,000 is the salary of a famous screenwriter. Compared with the income of a famous writer There is simply a world of difference.

Put on comfortable casual clothes, come to the study room, sit in front of the computer and start thinking with your eyes closed.

The story of "Inception" tells the story of Dom Cobb, an experienced thief. He is considered the best in this industry because he can sneak into the dreams where people's spirits are most fragile and steal the subconscious mind. A valuable secret.

Cobb's rare skill makes him the most coveted target in dangerous corporate espionage, but it also makes him an international fugitive and without the love of his life.

Now Cobb has a chance to redeem his sins. As long as he completes one last task, his life will return to its original appearance.

Different from the past, the task of Cobb and his team this time is not to steal ideas, but to implant them.

If they succeed, it's a perfect crime.

But even if careful and professional arrangements are made in advance, it is impossible to predict that the dangerous enemy already knows their actions well, and only Cobb can predict the enemy's whereabouts.

John pinched his fingers gently and started typing. There was a knock on the door. John, who was busy on the keyboard, said "come in" without raising his head and then continued to type a paragraph.

"Sir, your coffee." Liu Yan put the coffee on the desk.

"Thank you." John raised his head and said with a gentle smile. His fingers did not stop typing. It seemed that multitasking was not difficult for him now.

Watching Liu Yan leave the study, John looked at the written part. The use of words became more and more skillful and appropriate, and the description was very picturesque.

It seemed that he was quite qualified as a fake writer. John shrugged his shoulders and drank a strong cup of coffee. However, the life of a nerd was a bit hard and he sighed softly.

Now that everything is planned, then complete it unswervingly. Once this book is published, it will definitely attract the attention of major Hollywood film companies and directors. This is also a stepping stone for you to become famous in the Hollywood film factory, and you must take it seriously.

"My life has just begun."

Two days later, the negotiations between Nielsen and NBC also entered the final stage. Since NBC and CBS learned that the talent show creative program had sold the British rights for 20 million pounds, they contacted Nielsen again for negotiation.

However, due to the price, CBS finally withdrew from the bidding. They believed that the risk of spending tens of millions of dollars to purchase a program idea was too great.

However, NBC is more determined to buy the rights. They are too jealous of the ratings of Fox's American Idol every spring. Since the British independent television stations are willing to spend high sums of money to buy the rights, they will not be stingy. This amount of money means nothing to NBC, which is willing to spend US$12 billion to purchase the North American broadcast rights for the Olympic Games.

Apple's stock has begun to rebound, and John doesn't want to drag it out any longer. In this way, both parties made concessions on the premise that they were willing to cooperate. NBC spent US$40 million plus 5% of advertising revenue to obtain North America. Copyright (Canada, United States and Mexico).

At John's request, NBC agreed to only report on Mockingjay Copyright Company during promotions, downplaying John's identity as the founder of the show.

As soon as the money arrived, John met with his financial management team and made the same request to buy all Apple stocks.

David was a bit speechless about his boss's paranoia. He advised him more than once that he couldn't put all his eggs in one basket. There were still many potential stocks that could be operated. However, John was noncommittal about this, although he was very interested in David's suggestions. He didn't adopt it, but he still expressed his appreciation and praise for his professionalism.

For Steve Jobs and smartphones, John knew what kind of changes they would bring to the world.

After ITV obtained the copyright of the talent show, it began to operate at full capacity, because it had a detailed program process and plan written by John. After two weeks of preparation, after completely copying John's suggestions on the selection of judges, Simon Cowell, Piers Morgan, Amanda Holden become judges on Britain's got talent.

Because only the semi-finals are broadcast live, the talent show's audition advertising has been fully rolled out in the UK with great momentum. The winner will not only receive a false name, but also a bonus of 100,000 pounds and the opportunity to perform for the British royal family.

The selection of the program has no restrictions on age, region, or race. During the audition period, no matter which city the program crew comes to, there will be a wave of applications. The program has already aroused the enthusiasm and curiosity of the British people before it is broadcast.

Everyone wants to be a star and win prizes. All kinds of weird people and talents, coupled with the ruthless judgments of the three judges and the dazzling X-shaped red lights, undoubtedly make people full of expectations for this show.

Britain's Got Talent is in full swing and has become the target of British newspapers. It is only a matter of time before the show becomes popular. This undoubtedly makes NBC in the United States feel a lot more at ease, and it also increases publicity in the United States.

"There's nothing you can't imagine, nothing you can't see. America's Got Talent wants you to look good this summer!"

This slogan appeared on almost all NBC stations, and they even raised the prize to US$1 million. The number of phone calls asking for registration information was almost overwhelming every day. The popularity made the rival Fox TV station feel deeply worried. .

Summer has just begun with America's Got Talent, hosted by Regis Philbin and judged by David Hasselhoff (Knight Rider), Piers Morgan and Brandi Norwood.

A singer with a nonsensical accent, a middle-aged man who is over fifty but still wants to show off his strong muscles, a folk acrobatic performer, a mediocre dancer...

Along with the strange performances of the contestants, the judges became more and more mean and sarcastic.

The broadcast of the first episode hit a ratings peak and set off a trend across the United States. NBC executives looked at the soaring ratings and the sponsors waving checks and were almost grinning from ear to ear.

John watched the first episode at home and was given the ratings figures at the end with a proud smile on his face.

With successful examples, the copyright in his hands can be easily sold. As for the plagiarism problem in some countries, he can only ignore it. In China, copycats are a common phenomenon and he has long been used to them. Besides, he also plagiarized his ideas.

It's just that he still has two program ideas in his hand that he hasn't sold yet. He will wait until the talent show becomes a trend around the world and then sell them out, and then he can make a lot of money.
