Chapter 256 255. I'm a big brush, I'm not like the heroine

"Hahaha...you're really stubborn! You still refuse to give up on this pile of shit!"

Looking at the TV screen, Eric couldn't help but admire Fox TV still advertising "American Idol".

Charlize Theron lay in his arms, crawling like a lazy kitten, but her figure was so good that her height of 177cm didn't look that small even if she curled up.

"I really don't understand what these people are thinking. American Idol has been criticized so much. If it were me, I would definitely let the show fend for itself and just fulfill the contracts with the advertisers."

"I'm afraid Fox isn't worried either. After all, it was a hit just last year, and the first season simply triggered a ratings frenzy."

Eric thought about it and it made sense. Last year, the ratings of "American Idol" ranked third in the United States. It was an absolutely god-level performance and earned Fox hundreds of millions of dollars in profits.

It is said that they only spent 3 million US dollars to buy the copyright from the UK. They did not expect the show to be popular. They just wanted to temporarily take over the old variety show. Unexpectedly, it turned out to be a big hit.

Such a good seedling could have become a super cash cow, but unexpectedly it rotted in just the second season.

Not to mention Fox, anyone would be unwilling to accept the situation, and almost everyone would try their best to rescue the victim.

What's more, apart from "American Idol", Fox currently has other popular variety shows to offer, and the TV station will definitely want to hold on until the next big hit comes out before retiring "American Idol".

But the more resources they put in, the happier MGM was, the happier Lionheart was, and the happier Eric was.

Because judging by the current crumbling reputation of "American Idol," the harder it promotes, the more it gets criticized.

On the contrary, "The Voice of China" became the beneficiary, and a large number of viewers were attracted to Lionheart.com. It was really a waste of time!

"Honey, I am also a senior member of Lionheart Network and I contribute $12.99 to you every month." Theron smiled.

Eric pinched her cheek and said, "12.99 dollars, that's a huge sum of money. I'll make a note of it. So now you still owe me less than $1 billion."

"What!" Theron stared at him with wide eyes.

"Every time I pour soy milk for you, according to scientific research, it is rich in hundreds of millions of tadpoles, which are very precious."

"Did you know there's always a bounty on the black market? Someone's buying the tadpoles of various wealthy people and high-ranking officials at a high price."

"Ah? Is this true? No way!" Charlize Theron opened her mouth in surprise.

Eric caught her tongue and sucked it: "Surprised, right? But don't be surprised, because this is the truth."

"Bill Gates, Tom Cruise, Bezos, Vince Young and many other celebrities and wealthy people are on the list. I am one of them, and my ranking is not low."

"Those guys want, well, what do they want to do? What's the use of this thing?"

"What's the use? There are so many uses. You can artificially breed children. Do you know about in vitro fertilization? After having children, you can blackmail celebrities and rich people for money."

"It's hard to explain this kind of thing. As long as the DNA test is consistent, even if it's really not you, you can't argue. The media will definitely be very keen to eat melons at that time."

"If things get out of hand, they will only ruin their reputation, so many people choose to suffer in silence and spend money to avoid disaster."

"Baby, you may not have noticed since you're a woman, but in fact, near the homes of many male celebrities, in addition to the paparazzi, there are also a group of people squatting there. They will search through trash cans for used condoms."

"It would be best if there were fresh stocks in there. As long as you can get them on the black market, people who want to buy them will line up all the way to Washington. It is a scarce resource with a price but no market."

"Eh!!!" Charlize Theron waved her hands in disgust.

"Stop talking, I feel like vomiting."

Eric laughed: "You ate a lot, what's so disgusting about it? You said it tasted good."

"Yeah, it's true. It tastes a bit like sweet and sour orange."

"So, do you owe me a lot of money?"

“Go to hell!”

Theron hit Eric, and then the two rolled together and kissed passionately.

After taking a breath, Charlize Theron asked, "Honey, please get me some of The Voice's internal resources. I really want to see them."

"No, no, I have signed a confidentiality agreement and the original resources are at Meiyi. If I want to take them, I must tell Michael Jackson. Taking them without telling is stealing, no matter how good your relationship is." Eric shook his head and refused.

"Then I won't make it difficult for you. Just tell me who the champion is."

"I have no idea."

"You're lying! You're the producer, how could you not know? Tell me now, I won't leak the secret."

"I really don't know. The finals haven't been recorded yet. Michael Dunk wants to see the live performance. He hates the unspoken rule of pre-determining the champion."

"The finals weren't recorded, which means the semi-finals were recorded? Then tell me who the winners of the four teams are."

Seeing that the man was in a dilemma, Theron took Eric's hand and put it inside her pajamas.

"Okay, okay, just tell me, dear. Katy Perry will definitely stay until the end. She is my favorite."

Eric's mouth was pulled into the waist of his cotton pants because he was so dazzled by Theron's coquettishness.

"You guessed it right, Katy Perry did make it to the end, along with Bruno Mars, Taylor Swift and Celyn Trudeau, the four of them will be competing for the title."

"Who's winning?"

"Baby, it's useless to try again and again. The finals haven't been recorded yet, and I really don't know."

Theron puffed up her cheeks and said, "I don't believe you! By the way, I want to ask you something else."

"What?"

"What do you think of making a TV series? Which one has more potential, movies or TV series?"

Sensing that she seemed to realize something, Eric smiled and said, "Why would there be such a question? Of course, movies are better than TV series now."

"I know movies are stronger now, but I mean the future. Have you noticed? It seems that suddenly many movie stars have started to move to the small screen."

"Especially the House of Cards just released by Lionheart. My god! Kevin Spacey's performance is so charming. The ups and downs of the plot coupled with the actor-level performance, this drama is like a whirlpool that firmly attracts the audience."

"You know what, honey, I finished it in one day. Last weekend, I spent two days lying on the bed and sofa watching variety shows and House of Cards for the entire day."

"The last time I saw this kind of behavior was probably in high school."

"By the way, didn't you propose a new concept a few days ago? What was it called?"

“Binge-watching!”

"Yes, it's binge-watching. Now a new word has been extended to it, called binge-watching, which refers to people who watch "The Voice", "House of Cards" and "Supernatural" all at once. Now I am a big binge-watcher."

"Hahahaha." Eric couldn't help but burst out laughing.

"The Voice of China" is the first work of Lionheart Network to become popular due to its superstars, duels, PK and other gimmicks.

"House of Cards" is not far behind. Those viewers who have finished watching the first half of "The Voice" will soon shift their attention to "House of Cards".

In particular, "House of Cards" is well-made. The 12 episodes are not too long, the pace is very fast, and each episode contains several climaxes and conflicts.

After watching the first ten minutes of the first episode, most viewers couldn’t take their eyes off the screen, and they continued to watch episode after episode, finishing the entire series before they knew it. Afterwards, they were still unsatisfied and wanted to find someone to discuss the plot with.

IMDb has already released its score, and "House of Cards" lived up to expectations and scored 9.1 points, of which 75% of the votes were 8 points or above, which is an absolutely high reputation.

Although according to convention, the score will generally decline as the number of raters increases and time passes, it has already shocked many people.

The latest novel is published first on Liu9shuba!

Currently, "House of Cards" ranks 11th on the imdb drama rankings, almost making it into the top ten.

This ranking not only includes TV series, but also various animations. The base is larger and more complex than the movie list, so you can imagine how difficult it is to get a high score.

Take a look at the comments below, that’s the scene many directors dream of.

"House of Cards fully proves what is amazing. Even though I hate watching political dramas so much that I feel physically disgusted and nauseous, this drama is still so good that I can't stop watching it. This is amazing!"

“Amazing drama! This drama fully demonstrates that politics is a game for people with high IQ, high EQ and low empathy.”

"House of Cards is definitely the best TV series of the year. It's so exciting to watch the bloody life of well-dressed politicians, media and upper-class people fighting against each other. I just like to watch them fight each other. It's so cool to finish watching it in one go!"

"I've watched the British version, so I signed up as a member to watch this version. Unlike the British version, Eric Cooper's version of House of Cards is completely dark. It's a political thriller filled with cold-blooded politicians. Frank always likes to break the fourth wall and talk to himself, because their stories can only be told to themselves."

"Satan, the throne belongs only to you!"

“Are all your reviews so complicated? My biggest feeling after reading them is that office workers really need a rowing machine. Where can I buy one?”

"My dad and I watched all 12 episodes in one go. We didn't even have much to eat for lunch. I hope Lionheart Network will quickly produce the second season. I also hope that it can produce more excellent dramas like House of Cards to help me lose weight."

"Raise your hands if you finished reading this in one go. I'm a big shot!"

"The relationship between the male and female protagonists is truly divine. From them, I understand that interests are always more reliable than feelings."

“Breaking the fourth wall is a very clever trick that not only explains the conspiracy hidden beneath the surface, but also maximizes Kevin Spacey’s personal charm. The whole show is presented in a gloomy tone, with juicy dialogues and a complicated direction. It’s really to my taste.”

"I haven't wanted the villain to win since Tom and Jerry for a long time, but are there really any positive characters in this show?"

"My cousin recommended it to me. I paid for the membership for House of Cards. I must admit that it was worth the money. Eric Cooper always hits my sensitive spots accurately."

"House of Cards was written and directed by Eric Cooper. I find that all his films are excellent. He is definitely the top 1 among young directors. When I say young, I mean under 40 years old."

"Praise Eric Cooper!"

Because of the popularity of "House of Cards", some viewers even questioned why Eric did not win the Oscar for Best Director. Even if he wanted to stay behind the scenes, his ability was too strong.

Oh! I can’t allow it, I really can’t allow it! “Honey, because of the success of House of Cards, Kevin Spacey’s salary has risen sharply, and now the market value has reached 13 million US dollars.”

"Are you envious? When Inception is released, your salary won't be lower than this figure."

"Not entirely. I just think filming a TV series is a good choice. As long as you come across a suitable script, you can give it a try. What do you think?"

Eric shook his head: "My advice is to wait, at least until a year later, when the market should have changed significantly."

"What do you mean? You always say vague things like that. I don't think everyone can see things as clearly as you do."

"Baby, Lionheart.com will completely change the market environment for film and television dramas, at least TV dramas. Its existence will help or force film and television dramas to develop in a more sophisticated direction."

"If you want to make a good drama, investment is essential. Money is the foundation of everything. Maybe in a year, more and more movie stars will join in. Then it won't be too late for you to get out."

Eric's suggestion was based on the development trajectory of the American TV series market before the time travel, and judging from the current situation, things are indeed moving in that direction.

It was afternoon on the other side of the ocean.

In Yanjing, a press conference is underway.

A deputy director of the Optoelectronics Bureau, a deputy director of Yanjing Satellite TV, a manager of Longteng Company, two male protagonists of "Supernatural" and Liu Yifei are all on the list.

Among them, Longteng Company is a newly established company in China, responsible for the introduction of American TV series. As for whether it will expand its authority in the future and take charge of other types of dramas, it is unknown.

Currently, the company is affiliated with the Optoelectronics Bureau and is a subordinate unit. The general manager and legal representative are both Han Sanping.

"Manager Chen, is Supernatural the first American TV series officially introduced to China after the millennium? Can you tell me about its significance?"

"Ahem. Strictly speaking, it's not Supernatural. CCTV Overseas Theater has actually been broadcasting American TV series all the time. I think a lot of people have watched Band of Brothers."

"However, the broadcast of Supernatural on Yanjing TV this time means that the door to local TV stations for introducing new shows has been reopened."

Everyone present knew that a new official document had been issued some time ago, and they immediately realized that today’s press conference had been implemented.

The reporter then asked Liu Yifei: "What is the main responsibility of the character you play in the TV series?"

Liu Yifei looked at the Wen family duo next to her: "Dean and Sam are evil spirit killers, and I can also be considered a demon hunter. We were opponents at first, but later became friends. I help them deal with evil spirits and demons."

"So you're the heroine?"

After hesitating for a moment, Liu Yifei looked to the side again, and then communicated with the other party in English. The two evil spirits of the Wen family immediately laughed.

"I don't know how to answer this question, but I can't say I'm the heroine either. However, I have the most scenes among all the female characters."

"Who do you have romantic scenes with in the play?"

"None of them, that's why I said I don't look like a heroine!"
