Chapter 428

Tomorrow, October 20, is also the time for Pokemon animation to be broadcast in the United States.

Although boss Jia wants the world to show simultaneously, the problem is that each TV station has its own time point. It is obviously inappropriate to change an animation before the last animation is broadcast. Therefore, boss Jia can only set the world's broadcasting time in October as much as possible.

Among them, China will start broadcasting earlier, which will be broadcast on CCTV on October 12.

Then there is Fusang. The Pokemon animation will be played on October 18.

The United States is in third place, broadcast nationwide on October 20.

This time, boss Jia reached a cooperation with NBC television in the United States.

Note that it's NBC, not NBA.

NBC's full name is the National Broadcasting Corporation of the United States, and it is also one of the three major commercial radio and television companies.

The company is headquartered in New York and its parent company is the world-famous General Electric.

The company now has direct television stations in 7 cities, including New York, Los Angeles, Chicago, Washington, Cleveland, Denver and Miami, and 208 affiliated television stations nationwide, basically covering the whole country.

It is worth mentioning that the television policy of the United States is the same as that of Fusang. They are all private television stations, and they are all local. There is no television station that can cover the whole country.

So, like Fusang, in addition to setting up a direct television station in major cities in the United States, they will also take many local television stations in the United States as vassals.

Local TV stations pay part of the fees to NBC every year, so they can get the right to broadcast all NBC TV programs for free, but they must also broadcast advertisements in NBC programs.

These local TV stations can make profits through local TV fees. In addition, there are some self-supporting advertising businesses.

In a word, American TV stations are like one large alliance after another. Under the three major American TV stations, there are more than 200 affiliated local TV stations. The two sides are like the Three Kingdoms, competing for ratings.

As the third of the Three Kingdoms, NBC's recent days are a little sad, because NBC's third place in the United States is about to lose its position.

NBC launched an offensive against the US News Corporation, the US fox broadcasting company, which ranks fourth in the country. The boss behind the scenes is the Australian character Murdoch, the old man who married an ugly Chinese wife.

Recently, fox's momentum is very strong. The ratings in the country and the number of affiliated TV stations are about to reach the level of NBC.

The reason why fox can have such a rapid momentum is that fox has two sharp weapons in total.

One is fox's entertainment program. There are not many entertainment programs in the United States. The most famous program is talk show.

However, fox's boss is a variety master, who has created a lot of entertainment programs. The most famous is a show called Murray green hat, the American version of if you are the one, the American talent show, etc. these innovative variety shows refresh the American people who can only see the talk show every day.

The other is animation.

In other words, the president of NBC was very helpless. They had no power to fight back when an animation of fox was hit. Whenever they entered the broadcast time of this animation, countless people would tune the channel on time and transfer to Fox TV to watch this animation.

The audience rating of this animation can reach a new high every year. For example, in 1992 last year, the highest was 30.92 million people watching it at the same time.

By the way, it is not popular in the United States to count the ratings. They count the highest number of people watching at the same time, and any program that can be watched by tens of millions of people at the same time can become a legend of a generation.

The record of 30.92 million people watching at the same time is even more legendary. It can basically stand in the top 20 in American history.

In fact, the peak audience of this animation is 45.41 million, which is definitely the top five.

This animation is the national animation Simpsons of the United States. This magical animation, which has been broadcast for 35 consecutive seasons since 1989, has hanged all TV stations and opponents.

Of course, this animation is not very hot in China because it make complaints about the traditional culture of the American people and the animation of politics.

NBC's TV dramas are family skills. NBC has produced familiar American dramas such as friends (the American version of love apartment, if love apartment could be broadcast in 1993), and the story of the emergency room.

But in terms of animation, NBC absolutely can't. originally, NBC doesn't care about it. If animation doesn't work, animation doesn't work. The divine existence of Simpson's family can't be resisted by any animation. When NBC plays animation at the same time, it only has more than 8 million viewers.

Therefore, NBC had wisely chosen to give up the competition and regard its own TV station as not broadcasting animation.

But now, with Fox's pressing step by step, NBC is also a little anxious. They decided to grab some limelight in the animation and at least hold down the Simpsons.

But it's so difficult. NBC has tried three animations successively. As a result, all ratings are below 2 million, even less than a fraction of the Simpsons. As a result, NBC's program director plans to give up the foolish idea of challenging the Simpsons in animation.

But about ten days ago, NBC's program director suddenly received a report from one of his managers that he had found a super powerful animation. Even if he could not compete with the Simpsons, it should be no problem to get an audience of about 5 million.

The program director was interested and asked, which country is this? Which company produces animation?

Then his manager reported that this is the animation produced by the animation of the Chinese imperial dynasty.

In this regard, the program director almost didn't choke on a mouthful of salt soda.

What the hell is this? When did Chinese animation come to the United States?

It is said that China is still in a forced country where three people wear one pair of trousers and rely on people as cattle to plow the fields? Such a country has the face to produce animation to the United States???

The program director scoffed, wanted to refuse on the spot, and even advised him to take a look.

Under his command, the manager is very loyal and dutiful. He reports to the director again and again, and finally even swears to God that this is definitely an animation that can have 5 million viewers.

Well, for God's sake, the program director finally promised the manager to watch an episode of animation and see how it turned out.

"I only have 20 minutes to watch one episode. My daughter-in-law prepared apple pie for me at home. I'm dead if I don't go back!" the program director said to God before watching this episode of animation.

Then I heard that the wife of the program director sent apple to the company, because the director didn't come home all night and lied about working overtime all night in the company.

Finally, if the wife hadn't really found the program director with tired face but extremely excited spirit in the company's screening hall, she really thought her hair was green!
