Hollywood Tycoon [US Entertainment + Business War]

For American TV stations, the way to increase their ratings is TV dramas and TV programs; but to improve the credibility and qualifications of their TV stations is to produce news programs.There are actually many categories of news programs in the United States, the most typical of which are "evening news program" and "midnight news program".Because the viewers of news programs are generally adult men, the ace news programs of major TV stations are the evening news programs at ten o'clock every night, followed by the midnight news at midnight.

In addition, morning shows, daytime talk shows, late-night talk shows, and Sunday talk shows are all spin-off types of news shows.The morning program used to be called the morning news program, but as this type of program period began to focus on providing various life information and light news content, it was renamed the morning program; daytime talk programs are generally aimed at housewives, Therefore, the topics discussed are generally parents' short stories, which have little to do with international news; but late-night talk shows are aimed at international news, and at the same time, the hosts' lips are becoming more vicious; the style of Sunday talk shows is between daytime talk shows And between late-night talk shows, it's usually a relatively big topic for discussion.

Of course, news magazine programs can best reflect the strength of each TV station's news programs. This type of program is not only the favorite of the Emmy Award judges, but also the focus of the Peabody Awards. ABC TV network has two news magazine programs "Nightline" and "20/20"; NBC TV network, which is good at sports programs, also has a news magazine program "Date Line"; It is sitting on the three news magazine programs "48 Hours", "60 Minutes" and "CBS Sunday Morning News"; in addition, the public television network as a public service also has a news magazine program "Frontline"; while Fox and We The two up-and-comers were completely incapable of producing newsmagazine programming.Among all the news magazine programs, "60 Minutes" is naturally the most experienced and most credible news magazine program.

《60分钟》自1968年9月24日开播以来，就秉承节目必需精益求精的态度。能在这档节目露脸的主播、评论员和记者，哪个不是业内从业数年的精英分子？而且《60分钟》的主播可不仅仅是主播，他更是这档节目的制片人和责任编辑。所以《60分钟》每个主播都给这档节目留下了不可磨灭的痕迹，而这次负责采访杰德的主播正式1991年接手《60分钟》的莱斯利斯塔尔。她与1996年加盟节目的鲍勃西蒙组成了《60分钟》现任的责任编辑团，而且她也是《60分钟》启用的第一个女主播。

Unlike other female anchors, Leslie is a very objective and rational person.Her interviews will leave enough time for the interviewee to speak, but at the same time, her press team will dig out a lot of content that is different from what the interviewer said.Her style, while not overly aggressive, often gets a lot of people down.But even so, there are still countless people begging for "60 Minutes" to interview themselves once a year.But Leslie seldom interviews others, and even the occasional interviews are edited to only ten minutes.

The recording site of cbs "60 Minutes" is definitely the most rudimentary place Jed has ever seen. It seems that he just randomly finds a corner in the studio, then puts on the lights and starts recording.The entire recording scene can only accommodate four or five people, and the lighting engineer and cameraman stand in the vast majority, so it means that Jed has to face Leslie alone.American interviews never give an outline. The anchors usually ask what they think of, especially your sore feet.

"Mr. Sherman, your plan to immigrate to the Commonwealth of Nations with Mr. Colombo, does it mean that you have despaired of the gay rights movement in the United States?" Leslie threw out a question that gave Jed a headache as soon as he came up.

"Yes, I am indeed somewhat disappointed with the domestic gay rights movement." Jed did not hide his thoughts, "Although the gay rights movement first originated in the United States, what has our country achieved today? The federal government is still rooting for the Defense of Marriage Act, and more than half of the states have ruled that same-sex marriage is illegal. What I want to know is, who gave the government this power? Marriage is originally a kind of marriage between two people who love each other Combined forms, this is a basic human right that God has given us, and the government says they have the power to take away this human right. If the founding fathers knew, I wonder if they would crawl out of their graves and throw the Declaration of Independence into these legislation on the face of the victim."

Jed's sharp answer made Leslie immediately interested. For an interview, if the interviewer only takes the initiative and the interviewee avoids it, then the interview is meaningless.Leslie's questions were tricky enough, and Jed's answers were sharp enough.As a liberal elite in the United States, Jed has never concealed his position on social movements and political activities, especially because he is rich and powerful, and he is also a leading sponsor of various affirmative action movements.The release of Jed’s mocking of the U.S. Congress just now will definitely get cheers from American affirmative action activists, and of course, curses from ultra-conservatives.Leslie continued to ask: "It is undeniable that our country is a country that regards Christianity as the basic moral norm. The "Bible" defines the 'union of a man and a woman' as marriage, and the union of gays does not seem to conform to this. bar?"

"My God, Ms. Starr!" Jed exclaimed, "I think we should go to the National Museum of the United States and take out the original text of the American Bill of Rights and read it on the show. The First Amendment to the Constitution of the United States of America The full text of "seems to be 'Congress shall make no law concerning the establishment of a state religion or the prohibition of the free exercise of religion; or the abolition of the freedom of speech or of the press; or of the right of the people to assemble peacefully and to petition the government for redress'? And in 1947 the " In Iverson v. Board of Education', the Supreme Court Justice Hugh Blake ruled, "There must be a wall of separation between the government and the church ... and this wall must be impenetrable. We cannot violate this in the slightest." Clause.’ Therefore, using the Bible to restrict our behavior is simply the greatest mockery of the American political system and the US Constitution!”

"So Mr. Sherman thinks the Defense of Marriage Act is unconstitutional to the 'First Amendment'?" Leslie asked.

"No, I think it's more of a violation of the 'Fifth Amendment. , liberty or property'. But for the gay community, they have not gone through any form of legal process to be told that their right to marry does not exist. At the same time, I also think that the "Defense of Marriage Act" has a negative effect on the 'No.14 Amendment The 'Equal Protection Clause' involved is also violated. We cannot have a law in our country that protects the rights of one class of people while denying the same rights to another class. fair!"

Leslie and Jed discussed gay marriage for more than half an hour. Jed's lawyer's license and the usual teaching of the lawyer team obviously played a big role.And the public relations team that has been on the field is also very satisfied with Jed's performance. Jed is not going to participate in the US presidential election, so he can act very smart.After all, Jed has always been positioned as a liberal elite, and if he fails even this kind of question and answer, then Jed will be ashamed to a great extent.Fortunately, Leslie is also a smart host. After digging up enough material, she didn't mind promoting Jed, so she asked, "Mr. "Alliance" will be your retirement work, why did you choose such a work?"

"Actually, it doesn't matter whether I retire or not, it's just that I will retire from the front line of filming." Jed responded indifferently, "Because of some things in the past, I gradually feel that children and family are the most important things in my life. Important. Since this is the case, I should spend more time with my children and family. For me, all the glory brought to me by the movie is already there, and I don’t have much motivation to pursue more The future of "The Avengers" is a very special movie. The series of previous movies often have a single protagonist, but the "Avengers series" is a series with multiple protagonists. There are not only movies, but also TV series. Even this series will cross with other series, which is a very interesting attempt. After this film, I will still be the producer of this series of films and will not leave the film industry completely."

The entire interview lasted more than an hour, far exceeding Leslie's expectations.The important thing is that neither of the two people's words are aimless, on the contrary, they have something in their words.Not to mention every word, but it is also quite meaningful.After watching the original edited version, Leslie ordered: "Cut it into two episodes, one episode is about him as a gay, and the other episode is about him as a filmmaker. He is a man. A controversial comrade, a highly anticipated tycoon, actually retreated from his prestige when he became famous... Tsk tsk, let's take advantage of the Hollywood awards season to lower the ratings."

Jade was on his way back when the secretary handed him a document. "Mr. Sherman, Media Asia Pictures in Hong Kong sent a notice saying that the movie we have been preparing for a long time can finally be filmed." She said and handed the document to Jed.

Jed glanced quickly, "It's finally ready to shoot." This was his idea when he was the assistant director of "Schindler's List". Photographed approval.Although Jade appreciates Zhang Yimou's approach in "The Thirteen Hairpins of Jinling", in his opinion, it is still not thrilling enough.Since it is a tragedy, the beautiful things must be destroyed for everyone to see.But Zhang Yimou left a lingering sound in the end, he did not show the cruelest side.This may be a kind of restraint and introspection, but in Jed's view, it is a kind of compromise. "Let's shoot the script according to the original agreement. I will be the producer. Don't worry too much about the money. If Media Asia can't afford it, there will be Galaxy, MGM, and me!"

After finishing speaking, Jed began to close his eyes and meditate.
