The King of American Dramas: Beginning to Fool HBO Producers

In 1998, TV series were just "fast food" substitutes for movies, and no one believed that the small screen could produce epics. Sean Liu, a Chinese-American student with huge debts and rejected from the movie dream, carries with him the memory of an era - the golden era of Game of Thrones. When the HBO executive was still confused about "seeing a psychiatrist", he pushed a Corleone videotape in front of him: "The audience no longer wants to watch God. They want to see how a god who has fallen to earth struggles with his own humanity." When everyone is pursuing a great and upright hero, he tells the world through Lao Bai: "Sometimes there is only a hospital diagnosis between the so-called 'good guys' and the 'bad guys'." He used "Game of Thrones" to define what an epic is, used "House of Cards" to start the binge-watching revolution of streaming media, and used "The Three-Body Problem" to spread the legend of human civilization in the universe. Scarlett Johansson regards him as a talent, Anne Hathaway was transformed by him, and Taylor Swift lent her voice to his series... He is the driving force behind countless superstars and the most mysterious and irresistible existence in their eyes. He never directed, but he had his finger on the pulse of Hollywood. He is not a star, but he is more dazzling than any star. Some call him the architect of the golden age, while others regard him as the king of the small screen. But everyone agrees that in 21st century Hollywood, there is only one "godfather" - his name is Sean Liu.
