America 1982

This was the first time that Tommy heard someone question Rick Luthor's lack of sincerity. You know, although this guy who always has red hair and likes to wear colorful floral shirts looks like the most common guy on the beach in California. A smooth-talking white drug dealer, but in fact, Rick is indeed very sincere to people. This is not Tommy's boast, but is recognized by many people in the industry.

With the success of BT's self-produced programs, many program producers from other TV stations or production companies will also come to BT Entertainment as guests, or invite Rick to visit their companies, to exchange ideas about each other's work. Ways to expand your social circle.

The way Rick treated those people was, in two words, sincere.

They will never flatter each other hypocritically, but will tell each other honestly and openly about their thoughts on the production of the program.

He will not hide his previous working experience in San Fernando, nor will he shy away from the vulgar angle that every time he designs a new program, he is accustomed to mobilizing the audience's voyeuristic desires and providing the audience with visual enjoyment that has nothing to do with television art. Cut in.

It's just that few of his colleagues can learn any useful knowledge from Rick's sincere teaching, because each of them has their own pursuit of television art, and Rick Luthor, from the day he helped Tommy start work, felt that he The reality show produced is no different from the short movies shot in San Fernando before. Artistry, appreciation, depth, and level are all shit. His only pursuit is to let the audience get satisfaction after watching it.

But even if those colleagues can't learn Rick's exclusive secret, they also understand that Rick's attitude towards people is very sincere. The reason why they can't learn it may be a matter of talent and personal artistic pursuit.

Now, Rick said to Tommy, Little Turner actually questioned the lack of sincerity of his most valued teacher, Rick Luther, who can help advertisers squeeze oil from a large number of low-level niggas?

Tommy immediately stood up and walked towards the conference room. A boss must understand one thing when dealing with outstanding employees, that is, if you need your subordinates to help you make money, then you need to support your subordinates.

Moreover, the old guy asked his father-in-law's friend to come to discuss cooperation. It's not like Tommy's BT Entertainment has no jobs. No matter what kind of film and television tycoon he is, he can't be so confident when he comes to ask for cooperation?

Are the ancestral red necks of the Democratic Party powerful? Tommy was made anxious, and with a phone call, his father's hardcore Republican white trash from the Warwick countryside flew over to talk to him about their different views on environmental protection, racial equality, and nuclear deterrence.

Seeing Tommy come back in, little Turner still had anger on his face. Before Tommy could sit down, he asked: "Tommy, your subordinate is completely opposite to you. He is a bit hypocritical."

"My man said exactly the opposite to you, Mr. Turner. He said you deserved a beating." Tommy directly pulled up the seat to the position next to little Turner, turned his body to face the old guy, and put half of his He put his arms on the table and stared at the other person.

Little Turner glanced at Rick Luther in the distance and looked at Tommy: "I look like a guy who flew all the way from New York to Los Angeles just to find someone to beat him up?"

"You want to chat with my best producer. Rick Luther is BT's top producer. He turned down other work arrangements and dedicated two hours to chat with you. You think this is hypocritical. ?Everyone knows you have a bad temper, Mr. Turner, and I've certainly heard of it, but if you think that because you have a bad temper, everyone should respect you and fear you, you're looking in the wrong place."

"You think I'm slandering him?" Sensing that Tommy seemed a little angry, Turner was stunned: "You think I, coming here to visit, would be rude enough to slander someone I really want to ask for advice? No matter how stupid I am, People should also understand that they should respect wise men who can help them, and this little slippery man is just a hypocrite."

"The provost of Brown University who caught you having sex with your female classmate in the dormitory must also be a wise man. However, I heard that he ended up not very well that day because he interrupted your interest. The wise provost got it in your mouth. The humiliation is more damn dirty than the jokes German women heard when they welcomed the American troops. You also tried to put some water stains into the other person's mouth to let the other person, a fifty-six-year-old man, taste the taste of youth." Soup Mi opened his mouth with a long list of little Turner's fierce experiences when he was young:

"It can be seen from this that the respect you show for wise men is not very understandable to normal people."

Herbert Siegel has long told him about Little Turner's character. If you are unhappy with him, you can confront him face to face. If the old guy realizes that he is at fault, he will apologize. If the problem is with the other party, he will also complain directly. , is a very cute and upright old man.

When a reporter interviewed Turner Jr. and asked him why he only retained the copyright of MGM's film library instead of continuing to hold the entire MGM studio, Turner stared at the reporter for more than ten seconds: "I can only follow you. The reason for marrying a wife is the same, poverty.”

What Tommy was talking about just now was the legendary experience of little Turner skipping class and sleeping with girls in the dormitory when he was studying at Brown University. He was blocked by the school on the bed. If he was blocked by the dormitory administrator, the problem might not be big. The problem happened that day. When he got to the provost, and faced with the provost's dissuasion, little Turner was undaunted and threatened to give an old guy like him, who had probably been impotent for many years, a taste of youth.

The result is that countless boys at Brown University have slept with girls in the dormitory, but little Turner is the only student who was directly expelled for sleeping with them.

It was not until he later became a billionaire and donated a large sum of money to the school after surviving the death of the provost that the school awarded him the degree he had been late for many years and canceled the punishment against him.

The old guy was so shocked by Tommy's words that he almost had a heart attack on the spot. He choked on his chest and took a long time to catch his breath. His face was full of anger, and he almost got up and left in anger.

But considering that his monthly subscription fee has been reduced from 20 cents to 10 cents, but it still cannot stop the loss of subscribers to the paid variety show channel, Turner feels it is necessary to explain why he thinks the red-haired boy is hypocritical:

"I asked him about reality shows, but he recommended me to watch a few adult movies, saying that the answers could be found in those movies. I said that I had almost slept with more movies in my life than those made by young movie stars. There are many women with rich practical experience. I like to talk about topics involving beauties, but not now. I want to know about reality shows now. An American reality show that is deep, connotative and makes the audience willing to pay for subscriptions. You You know what he said to me? He said there was nothing he could do, and he didn’t know how to make a reality show like that. You can just tell me, because it involves some fucking trade secrets or something like that so I can’t comment, but you You can't tell me so perfunctorily, I don't know how, I can't do anything, sorry, the door is over there."

"Uh... I can guarantee that he didn't lie." Tommy said after listening to the angry old man Little Turner's complaints.

Tommy waved his hand towards Rick, indicating that he should go to work first. He explained to Little Turner: "There is some misunderstanding. Rick is not the TV people you dealt with before. He doesn't think about issues such as connotation and depth. He produces programs." The first headache is how to shrink the scale to avoid being shut down by the FCC. This is a misunderstanding. I am very sorry for mentioning your youth just now. I am willing to donate 100,000 yuan worth of bison to the American bison you want to protect. Food to make up for the damage you’ve suffered.”

Little Turner was minding his own business and started to follow up the topic: "I received news that Fox is preparing a reality show about the upper class for their paid variety show channel, and it will be a popular reality show on the BT TV network "Fake Girl" and Inspired by the hit CBS drama "The Big Deal."

"Those women in your life are just floating clouds. Only Murdoch is your true love, Mr. Turner." Tommy put his hand on his forehead and said a little weakly.

Ever since Little Turner cheated in the yacht race in Australia because Murdoch deliberately knocked over his boat, the old man seemed to be a little obsessed. He always wanted to find opportunities to teach Murdoch a lesson and regain his place. Before that, he had invited Murdoch to a press conference. Murdoch went to Las Vegas to have a boxing match to determine the winner. After being ignored by Murdoch, he began to make mistakes in program production. Whatever programs Murdoch's Fox produced were outstanding, Little Turner always To produce a program with similar themes to compete.

After fighting for so long, everyone's evaluation is that Murdoch is immovable and little Turner is mentally ill.

Depending on the situation, I still didn’t want to give up. I felt that my production team might be a bit inferior, so I hired BT Entertainment to act as a foreign aid this time.

""Born Noble" satisfies people's curiosity about the upper class. It follows the young heirs of five upper-class families and peeks into the changes in the fate of the five wealthy families. It is claimed to be a realistic version of "The Grudges of the Rich"."

Users of paid cable channels are completely different from viewers of TV networks such as BT. These seemingly more advanced voyeuristic reality shows can indeed make groups with a slightly higher level than free viewers willing to pay to subscribe and listen to them. According to Little Turner, Fox has indeed spent money on this paid reality show. The five families are all real, and their social status includes senators, billionaires, socialites, etc. This is not just about paying a salary. Someone who can be invited to appear on camera.

If Tommy remembers correctly, he did watch a similar reality show on a pay channel in his previous life, but he is not sure if it was produced by Fox, and he has forgotten which season it was, but he feels that the show is very well produced, and there must be an element of interpretation, but not There are many real and fake wealthy families fighting against each other on a daily basis.

"People do like to peek into the lives of rich people and make them feel hazy and mysterious because they have not experienced it personally. It is indeed very attractive, but I was just thinking about it. Maybe people will have another question, how do I become a wealthy person?" Rich man." Tommy sat next to Little Turner and was silent for a long time before he said to the old man: "I have an idea, but I don't think Rick and the others can do it all. They are not good at this. I can introduce it. Meet someone who can do it and is definitely interested in doing it."

"The top elites in the film and television industry?" Little Turner asked with some suspicion.

As far as he knows, the most famous one in the current film and television subdivision of reality shows is BT Entertainment. If the headhunting company hadn't been able to poach Rick Luther, he wouldn't have had to sit here with someone younger than his own son. The young man recalled his unforgettable college years.

"Undoubtedly an elite in the industry, let's put it this way, 60% of the female stars in Hollywood have worked with him." Tommy looked at Little Turner and said seriously:

"Stephen Bean, owner-producer-director-writer of Paradise Productions."
