Manhattan Reborn 1978

Okay, it’s still one of the fixed scenes.

Top floor, living room.

Among the few people, Blumer was the first to speak.

He pointed at David: "You bastard, weren't you talking about the program today? Why did you start the TV station business?"

Giles realized something: "Our Morgan family has already invested in several TV stations. If we create another one, wouldn't we be fighting with our own family?"

David didn't know these things and looked at Pine.

Pine nodded, and he also stood up and sat on the carpet next to David.

Picked up a small red shrimp and threw it into his mouth.

"The Morgan family has shares in NBC, ABC, CBS, and some sub-tier TV stations."

He raised his head and looked at Giles: "But David's proposal is very tempting. You have to know that in those TV stations, it is difficult to complete a large change in shares, and each company will not let it go easily."

"And if we build a new TV station that can break through the siege and occupy a certain market share, it will become the most powerful bargaining chip in our hands. The presidential election needs our support to go more smoothly. Who would not be greedy? Want to join?"

Kennedy, the unlucky guy, was nicknamed the TV President. .

Pine understood what David was thinking.

If this TV station can become popular, the economic benefits it will bring can be ignored for the time being.

The influence it brings is what everyone pays attention to.

David nodded: "The direction of public opinion can always come out of your mouth and into the ears of others."

"Whoever has a TV station with a large audience and high ratings can control public opinion to a certain extent!"

"Anyone can constantly output opinions and remarks that are beneficial to themselves to the audience in front of the TV!"

"Now if our TV stations want to break out of the tight encirclement and rise rapidly, it will inevitably start a merger war in the TV industry."

"The round-the-clock real-time news broadcast method that our TV station will adopt can easily be copied by other major TV stations."

"At that time, several major TV stations will begin to slowly occupy larger and more market shares, and they will usher in a new era of fragmentation among the dominant players in the TV industry."

"Therefore, our TV station must rise quickly. Before anyone can react, we are already standing at the cake-sharing table, raising the knife, seizing the initiative, and re-dividing the cake for everyone. market share."

"Only then will our TV station truly become a mainstream news media in the United States and even the world."

"At that time, we can open one or more sub-channels."

"The main channel broadcasts the latest news and information from the world and the country 24 hours a day."

"Sub-channels can broadcast comprehensive programs with a wide audience in film, television, entertainment, sports, science and education, etc., expanding the audience of our TV station."

"In this way, we can achieve full coverage of TV programs!"

"As long as someone turns on the TV!"

"Want to know the latest world situation and the latest news and information happening in various countries?"

"Please watch da TV station!"

"Want to see the latest and most authoritative real-time information in the United States?"

"Please watch da TV station!"

"Want to watch the funniest and most exciting entertainment?"

"Please watch da TV station!"

"Want to watch the latest sports broadcasts and recorded programs?"

"Please watch da TV station!"

Forehead. .I won’t write these water words anymore. .

Pine sat next to David, holding a small dried fish found somewhere in his hand to use as a toothpick. .

Brows furrowed.

Giles and Bloomer's faces flushed with excitement.

Polly was relatively calm. She held the wine glass and hugged her chest, watching David try to make a pie. . .

Shirley had never heard David cheating like this before, and she was a little bit taken aback. .

This wasn't the first time Ludy heard David cheat, but he was a little bit over it now. .

David saw that it was almost done.

Bullshit cannot be divorced from reality.

He briefly summed it up: “It seems now that the era of major mergers in the TV industry that I predicted has not yet come.

This is the last window period for us to set up a TV station and enter this industry. "

"If we miss this point in time, it will be very difficult for us to obtain such public opinion guidance rights again."

"Because several major TV stations have already divided the cake, found their respective positions, and will also have some fixed audience groups."

"By then, we will have to pay at least ten times the price now, or even more."

Pine nodded cooperatively.

David is right about one thing.

Today's TV station industry has begun an era of competition among the best.

Television stations in various cities, states, and the country, including cable and wireless TV stations, are all vying for this big piece of cake.

Ratings are the goal that everyone is competing for.

Because of their competition, more than half of the companies in Hollywood in Los Angeles are supported.

Because of the fighting of these TV stations, a number of ratings statistics companies have been supported. . .

In the current economic context, these statistical companies are not affected at all.

My little life was still enjoyable, which surprised countless people.

Of course these Pines knew.

One morning a few days ago, he received an application for financing.

hbo television station.

Yes, there is HBO in this world!

Pine told David about the station's funding application.

David was shocked!

All the little red shrimps fell off. .

What are you doing! ? ~

Ah ~

This TV station is famous, eh. .What a great drama! ~

Known as a large-scale drama about the egg-laying rooster!

Definitely a fighter among cocks!

Oye!

Seeing that David was a little distracted, Pine smiled and introduced to David: "HBO was established in 1972. Its more accurate name should be HBO TV Network."

"Since its inception, it has not produced high-quality original programming. It has been all purchased movies, TV series and other programs."

"This gradually reduced its competitiveness. It was not until last year that video recorders and video tapes became more popular."

"The studios in Hollywood make all the movies into video tapes for sale, and HBO obtains the broadcast authorization six months after the video tapes are released. The timeliness is also perfectly reflected in this matter!"

"HBO's current premium cable channels have begun to experience a significant decrease in subscriptions. This vicious cycle is caused by their unwillingness to adapt and their inability to keep up with the development trend."

"I have seen HBO's financial statements, and its current valuation has reached a price that can be purchased."

"Maybe we can buy HBO and make it the sub-channel you mentioned, and then buy a national wireless TV station as the main news channel, and then acquire some local TV stations to supplement it as a base."

"In this way, we can achieve what you call full coverage of the entire TV audience, achieve a rapid rise in a certain sense, and gain the right to pick up the knife to share the cake!"

David nodded dumbly: "This is possible! Pine, if HBO buys it, let me plan its program development!"

Pine glanced at Giles and Bloomer, who were laughing happily.

He nodded to David: "You can't do it if you don't do it, David! Your pie painting makes people drool!"

David nodded, thinking of other questions.

A question he ignored again and again.

Super big question! !

The emergence of HBO in the face of this problem is simply child's play.

His current world is a comprehensive world of film and television.

There is Forrest Gump and Andy here.

There may be other plot characters that he is not familiar with.

So which of the movies David watched in his previous life will actually appear in this world?

Thinking about this, David started to sweat!

Depend on!

Something big is about to happen!
