Hardy Empire 1945

Chapter 180 Don't wait to see the little book

Taylor, you also appeared in the puppet show Sesame Street today, how do you feel, is it fun? Elaine asked.

It's very fun. When shooting, the director told me that it's just like playing with friends. Big Bird, Hu Hu Zhu, Elmo, Cookie Monster, these guys are sometimes good and bad, and they often imitate my words. Taylor Hehe said with a smile.

The 15-year-old girl is as beautiful as an angel, with purple eyes, and her sweet smile is enough to make countless people's heartbeat.

Let's talk about your movie This Killer Is Not So Cold. Now the movie has been released for two weeks. According to statistics, the box office has reached 6 million. It is very likely to become the box office champion of this year. May I ask Mr. Grant and Ms. Taylor, what do you think? Not very happy. Elaine asked.

Of course I'm happy. Cary Grant nodded with a smile.

When I heard the news, I was excited for half the night. Taylor said with a smile.

Is it only half the night?

Oh~~ I fell asleep after being overly excited in the middle of the night. Taylor stuck out his tongue, full of girlishness.

The audience laughed along.

Mr. Grant, what do you think of Taylor's performance in the movie? Elaine asked.

It's amazing, I've worked with so many actresses and Taylor is definitely one of the best, her acting is so vivid.

The talk show is very relaxed, the host and the guests chat like friends, the live audience can ask questions, and the off-site audience can make phone calls to interact. This mode is simply too fresh.

The whole program lasted for an hour and a half, and there were two commercials in the middle. During the commercials, the audience did not switch to other channels, which shows that the bonding of this program is very high.

NBC executives are still watching the program in the broadcast room. They have been sitting here for a whole day, and some of them are already showing signs of fatigue.

Watching the interview and chatting, a CEO said: We also have talk shows. This is not new. During the questionnaire survey, our talk shows were also ranked among the top audience favorites.

Statistics on audience ratings are not as easy as later generations. You can see them when you turn on the computer. Now you can only collect data in the form of questionnaires, so the feedback is a bit slow. It often takes a month or two to know whether the audience loves a program. Look.

However, this mode of on-site interaction and telephone questioning is really worth learning, so that the audience will have a sense of participation. If the host asks his own question, it is equivalent to talking to a big star himself. That feeling must be very good.

The president thought for a while and asked, Can this be borrowed?

Yes, yes, I'm afraid that ABC will come up with another copyright. Someone said.

President of NBC: .

And the bosses of several film companies,

But I have my own discovery. During the film's release, accepting TV interviews will definitely play an excellent role in promoting the film.

Mayer, the boss of MGM, wondered whether because of this interview, the box office of the movie Killer Is Not So Cold will jump up tomorrow.

He also benefited from the increase in the box office.

The talk show ended with warm applause from the audience. Elaine completed her debut. The whole process was perfect. Many people immediately remembered this smart and beautiful hostess of ABC TV.

After the talk show, there was another big advertisement.

Hardy Grand Hotel Las Vegas will open soon, and we look forward to your visit!

In the advertising film.

The casino is as magnificent as a palace. There are rows of slot machines and dozens of gaming tables in the casino. A group of people are playing excitedly.

Bar, gym, tennis room, swimming pool, hotel.

Wine, beauty, excitement, joy.

Finally, a group of young beauties in bikinis appeared in the camera, loudly inviting people to Las Vegas to play, and then jumped into the water one by one with cheers.

The casino was about to open in half a month, and Hardy began to advertise the industry. This time, the opening of the casino must be a hit.

Ad ended.

Play the movie Red Dead Redemption.

This is also one of the finale programs tonight.

Red Dead Redemption was only released last year. It is considered a new movie. It won the box office championship last year, and then won the Golden Globes and Oscars this year. It has achieved remarkable results.

Such a good movie was shown on a TV station. Many people marveled at the generosity of the boss of ABC. You must know that once a movie is broadcast on a TV station, it is almost impossible to show it in a movie theater in the future.

Now that they can watch movies for free, many people feel that they have earned money. The programs on other TV stations tonight are destined to be less popular.

The movie plays.

Executives from NBC and CBS returned to the conference room.

They knew that was the end of tonight's ABC show.

Next,

They will study how to deal with the rapid rise of ABC television station.

Although today is only the first day of broadcasting, both TV stations feel a strong sense of crisis.

After watching ABC's program, and then watching my own program, I feel that I am inferior to others. How can the audience not feel it.

If ABC maintains this state, then the audience of the two TV stations will be pulled away by ABC, and the ratings will decrease, and the advertising revenue will also decrease accordingly, and life will be even more difficult in the future.

A vice president was annoyed: How much does it cost them to produce so many programs? That Jon Hardy is really willing to spend money.

Another vice president spread his hands, No way, he is indeed rich, among other things, a Playboy magazine can support a TV station.

The question now is what should we do, increase the duration of the program together, and produce more high-quality programs? The president asked with a frown.

The other vice presidents didn't speak for a while.

In the past, they broadcast programs for 5 hours a day, from 6:00 p.m.

They have to add 11 hours of programs to catch up with ABC. It is a headache to think about what to broadcast in these 11 hours.

Besides,

The quality of the programs produced by ABC is so high, the board of directors will approve how much investment is needed to produce their own programs.

It seems that many problems are unresolved.

A vice president suggested, President, why don't we also set up a TV shopping, bite the bullet, what's wrong with the infringement, let ABC sue, it takes time to file a lawsuit, let's find a lawyer to delay it, at least half a year and a year Yes, even if the lawsuit is lost in the end, it is a big deal to compensate part of the money.

During this period of time, we can earn a lot of money. The board of directors will not care about the money even if there is a lawsuit. We can also get the money and produce more programs.

The president is also jealous of TV shopping.

He thought for a while and said, I need to communicate with the chairman about this matter.

Go back and write a development plan for the TV station, and give it to me in two days. If we want not to be abandoned by ABC, we must improve. Let's brainstorm together to deal with ABC. Let's end the meeting.

They watched TV all day, and they were all very tired.

CBS executives are also studying ABC. Everyone feels the threat from ABC, and even feels that the two sides are not of the same magnitude at all.

CBS executives held meetings until after three o'clock in the morning, and finally decided on several directions.

The duration must be increased, at least there must be programs in the main period. As for what programs to produce, it is unrealistic to produce high-quality programs on a large scale, but ABC's teaching programs have inspired them.

Find two people to play chess, and there will be an explanation next to it, which is called chess teaching.

Make three people fight the Landlord,

Four play bridge,

Everything can be turned into a show.

There are even French-taught, Spanish-taught programs.

Or a fishing show.

It was even suggested that the teaching of home appliance maintenance could be carried out.

As for high-quality programs, one or two must be produced, and the audience must be retained. The final result of the discussion is to imitate ABC and produce similar programs, but not to infringe and only borrow.

And those bigwigs in the film industry who pay attention to the TV industry were also shocked tonight. Before NBC and CBS, they didn’t feel threatened. Now after watching ABC, they finally understand that it’s not that the TV industry is not threatened, but that The level of production of the two is not good.

Now watching ABC, they find that given the choice between movies and TV, they are more likely to stay home and watch TV.

why,

Watching movies is very troublesome, you need to drive to the cinema, you need to spend money to buy tickets, and you are also affected by the weather, safety, and so on.

The TV does not need it. You can enjoy your favorite programs while wearing pajamas and lying comfortably at home.

The bigwigs in the film industry were still dissatisfied before, but now they have all given up their previous contempt.

the next day.

Several major newspapers reported on the launch on ABC.

ABC TV's programs are very novel and attractive, and they can hold on to the audience. If the other two TV stations don't change, I'm afraid they will be far behind.

An 11-hour increase in program quality has greatly improved, and ABC's owners are ambitious. NBC and CBS are obviously being compared, but we are happy to see this situation, because viewers can enjoy better entertainment programs.

In a week's time, the Los Angeles Times is preparing to conduct a new round of surveys on television stations, which will include ABC Television.

Eight o'clock the next morning.

ABC TV continues to broadcast.

Everyone knows that other TV stations have no programs during the day, so they all set the channel to ABC TV station logically.

Today's column is not Estee Lauder Teaches You Makeup, but a program called Beautiful Kitchen, which teaches housewives how to cook delicious food.

A gentle-looking woman in her thirties taught women how to cook delicious food while talking to the audience on TV.

Cakes, toast, tarts, sandwiches, salads, roasts, vegetable mixes, chicken wings, ribs and more.

There will be a lot of ingredients and home appliances in this program. The TV station has found dealers to advertise these things. It’s just that this kitchen uses hundreds of kitchen utensils and ingredients.

Is it expensive to advertise on TV at $2,000 each?

It's cheap as hell.

Calculated in this way, the annual advertising fee for this beautiful kitchen program is 2 million US dollars, which is definitely an astonishing amount of income.

After the teaching time, it is still a documentary, and the documentary played today is.

The Battle of Iwo Jima.

This documentary records how tragic the U.S. Army and the Japanese army were fighting for Iwo Jima. This documentary was produced by Hardy.

The U.S. military has never been short of war reporters, and they recorded a lot of images. Hardy asked Major General Williams to buy a copy from the military and asked HD Films to make it.

This kind of documentary is not difficult for the HD film industry. It only takes two or three days to complete the video plus dubbing commentary.

In the documentary,

The U.S. military was killed by the Japanese a lot, and even more were injured. It was very miserable. Seeing their own people being killed, the Americans felt even more cruel to the Japanese.

Yesterday was The Bombing of Pearl Harbor,

Today is The Battle of Iwo Jima,

Some people say,

How much this ABC TV station does not want to see the Japanese!
