Special thanks to both IL PALLINO and iChoro for sharing how they got a 10/10 rating in recent years. This guide has now been updated with their numbers so that it's easier to find than looking through the comment section.

If you find this guide helpful, please give them both a big THANK YOU in the comments! It wouldn't be the same without them.
Things to Know Before Continuing...
There is a very specific reason why I've only included the recommended point distribution amounts for a total of 180, 280, and 355. This is because it is about as "balanced" as can be.

How did you come up with those numbers?


I started the game with Generalist as my channel's theme. This meant that I did not receive any bonus production points, or have points taken away based on the genre of film I was creating. Additionally, I always had a level 3 production assistant, which provided me an extra 30 points to distribute. I always get at least a level 3 production assistant. Do not underestimate those 10 point increments! So with that said...

150 base + level 3 production assistant (30 points) = 180 points.
180 points + level 1 production upgrade (100 points) = 280 points.
280 points + level 2 production upgrade (75 points) = 355 points.

How is 180, 280, and 355 "balanced"?


By keeping the level 3 production assistant throughout the game, this meant that the only thing that changed your total distribution points was Doc's upgrades. This means that if you're looking at this guide and you have less than 180 points, you can take a couple of points off of an A or A+ rating and give it to a C or B rating, without decreasing your overall score too much. Similarly, if you have more than 180 points, you can keep all points where I've suggested and just put the leftovers into the C or B ratings to increase your overall score. This makes it pretty easy to follow throughout your progression, without needing a category for every single point total possible.

Tips on Achieving a Perfect 10
You will need:
Masterwork script (any genre)
At least a 9.7 resource distribution score
All production upgrades from Doc, found on level 4.
Level 3-5 production assistant (depending on chosen genre)
Two 5 star actors
  • I did it with my lead actor having 10/10 skill for the genre, while the supporting actor only had 9/10. Your odds would surely increase if they were both 10/10, but it isn't necessary.
Both actors performing excellently.
  • A public relations worker can help. Level 5 provides an 8 hour boost in their performance for $150,000. Though this isn't mandatory, and sometimes doesn't seem like it helps all that much.


Things to keep in mind:
It may be possible to achieve a perfect 10 with less than what I've mentioned. I haven't received enough perfect scores to be able to really compare my findings. I would imagine that having a better resource distribution score, paired with everything else mentioned previously, would increase your odds of receiving a perfect score.

It may take you several tries to get it! Even when things were bound to succeed, some actor would muck it up by not preforming as well as they should have. Keep trying, and good luck!

Some early game values are off: Fantasy: Makeup & hairstyles 3 is a C, not an A. Sceneography is an A+ at 4. Eroticism at 4 is an A+

Comedy: Eroticism can be as low as a 3 and get an A.

It all started with FenderBenter. Unfortunately for him, an update ended up changing the attributes for the perfect show/movie. While I had some trial and error to try and find out what the new attributes are, I really couldn't have done it without FenderBenter.

This guide right here is perfection! Kinda tempts me to buy the game!

I got back into playing Empire TV Tycoon again... And how did I not notice that the recommended points allocation for comedy was incorrect the previous two times?! At least I managed to make the perfect comedy for once!

I've just filmed a fantasy movie with perfect resource allocation, and now my job of nit-picking at FenderBenter's guide is done.

I finally managed to play Empire TV Tycoon again. I did the logical thing when making a drama, and dumped all of my remaining points into Sound Editing , and I certainly wouldn't be posting a screenshot unless I did something right!

Now I made the perfect game show. The guide (currently) calls for an "8" in Costume Design . I allocated "10" points and got an A+.

Actually A-Kun, I'm just fine-tuning FenderBenter's work.

I came back to say that an action movie/show only needs an "8" for Costume Design to be perfect.
