Chapter 258

After Henry acquired the TV station, the whole American TV industry became alarmed and increased its investment. Even CBS and NBC reached a tacit agreement to encircle ABC broadcasting company for a short time. Soon afterwards, some high-quality programs were authorized to broadcast to each other, including TV, movies, sports, news, games, cartoons, music and so on, so as to enhance the competitiveness of both sides.

Henry is too rich, so the two TV stations have a kind of pale feeling about him. As we all know, the television industry is a "zero sum market", one makes money, the other loses money. ABC broadcasting company in Henry's financial support to develop and grow, will inevitably cause huge losses to CBS broadcasting company and NBC broadcasting company! Therefore, when Henry just entered the industry, it is necessary to give him a bad impression or a head-on blow!

The alliance between CBS broadcasting company and NBC broadcasting company makes both sides have more excellent programs and the audience rating has increased! On the other hand, ABC's ratings have dropped a lot.

Many "Gunners" at the level of experts and professors have come up with their own stories one after another and made a lot of bad calls on ABC broadcasting company.

"The water in the TV industry is deep. Don't think that money is enough. Henry Williams' acquisition of ABC broadcasting company is bound to prepare for long-term losses. At present, ABC broadcasting company has been under the joint encirclement and suppression of many broadcasting companies, resulting in the reduction of the audience rating now! "

"Disney's programs have always been broadcast on ABC TV station, which has become one of the important guarantees for the audience rating of ABC TV station. But recently it came out that some senior executives of Disney group are in contact with CBS broadcasting company, intending to buy CBS broadcasting company! Obviously, Disney group has made a plan to break up with ABC broadcasting company. It may not be long before all Disney group's programs will appear on CBS TV station instead of ABC TV station.... "

“……”

As a result of a lot of negative news, and ABC's current situation is really a mess, so the stock price plummeted, many investors have sold shares!

Henry didn't expect that before long after he bought ABC broadcasting company, he felt besieged, and ABC broadcasting company was in a panic!

In order to stabilize morale, Henry promised to increase wages by 5% to 10% and announced that the company would launch an equity incentive plan!

"ABC's stock price has plummeted recently. It's a good opportunity to get the bottom! If you believe me, go and buy shares of ABC broadcasting company. I'm sure you will make a lot of money in the future! " That's what Henry said when he spoke to the staff on ABC television.

Henry talked about the chance to get rich. As for how many people would like to listen to him, that's their business.

Those who believe in me are full of money; If you don't believe me, you can't repent!

In Henry's opinion, the ratings are directly related to the programs. As long as there are good programs, the ratings will increase. Henry wants to make all the broadcasters stupid this time!

This time, NBC broadcasting company and CBS broadcasting company alliance, to beat ABC broadcasting company, not because there are more good programs than ABC broadcasting company?

What Henry needs most is good program ideas!

TV series, variety shows and so on, Henry can spit out dozens of classic programs!

Just as the outside world was singing Down ABC broadcasting company, Henry sat in front of his computer typing and designed nine variety shows for ABC TV station: "American Idol" and "the voice of America" were broadcast on Saturday night, "Survivor" and "survival in the wilderness" were broadcast on Sunday night, "speed forward", "running man", "America's got talent", "American supermodel rookie contest" and "millionaire" will be broadcast from 19:30 to 21:00 from Monday to Friday, and after 21:00, it will be TV time!

American TV plays play one episode a week, so there will be five different TV plays from Monday to Friday!

Henry's requirements for TV stations are basically original works, in addition to purchasing a small number of excellent works.

To do original works, we need to recruit a lot of talents.

ABC broadcasting company has its own production department, but many programs are purchased! Therefore, Henry's request could not be satisfied for the time being.

As a result, Henry decided to inject $2 billion into ABC broadcasting company for development!

In addition to ABC TV station needs to shoot a large number of programs, movietv also needs to shoot a large number of original movies, original TV movies!

In addition, the output value of animation is immeasurable, so we need to recruit more TV animation talents, launch more excellent children's animation, and create an excellent children's channel BabyTV.

At the same time, CNN news also wants to recruit more journalists and collect more news all over the world!

Henry designed nine variety shows that night, and then applied for intellectual property rights! Although the program has no patent right, it has copyright. In the United States, programs with high similarity can be sued for infringement!!!

After ABC recruited a large number of talents to produce programs, Henry gave his own programs to the company.

Nine programs, all classic!

The program production team has been shocked to the point that people can't help talking about it.

"The voice of America and American Idol are two music talent shows. They are novel, interesting and interactive. After they are broadcast, they will be very popular. I think we can set up ABC record company and sign up for these new talent candidates! "

"Survivor" is very interesting. It throws 16 participants to an exotic desert island, limits them to rely on limited tools to survive, and participates in the competition. By voting out their opponents, the survivors who stay can win a million dollars prize! What's interesting about this program is that it strengthens the conflict between human and natural environment! There are no rich fruits on the desert island, and the survivors are not allowed to bring their own food. They can only cut firewood, make fire, build houses and rafts, and live a life of eating insects and mice, being bitten by insects and being frightened by snakes and scorpions, just like Robinson did in those days. In order to survive, the participants have to use all kinds of tricks, so that the opposition between man and nature reached a climax, and the audience seemed to have a good time! In addition, because the voting is elimination vote, there will be no less infighting between each other. It's also a big play. League, estrangement, inducement and other tricks can be used. If there are several sexy girls in the program, I can guarantee that the audience rating will not be low! "

"Survival in the wilderness is even more powerful. It directly throws a person to a deserted place without any tools. The risk factor is extremely high! Mr. Williams wrote a special sentence in the design draft. I think it's very accurate to describe the brave men who dare to participate in this program. That sentence is "the man at the top of the food chain"!!! Yes, he will eat anything he can on the show

……

……

In the face of doubts from the outside world, ABC TV station has started the preparatory work of nine variety shows in full swing!

On the other hand, Henry wrote a TV play friends, only two episodes and a general outline, and the following content was directly handed over to other writers to imitate this style. The American screenwriter industry has set up an assembly line work mode. The screenwriters write according to what they are good at, and even each screenwriter is responsible for describing a character!

So, although friends will be different from the previous life, as long as the style is the same, it will be very good-looking!

"Friends" is also called "six people", the content of the play is six friends living in Manhattan as the center, in the life of a series of funny stories! This TV series is really too classic. Once it was launched, it was well received and set off a frenzy of ratings. It lasted 10 seasons from 1994 to 2004, becoming one of the most popular TV series in the United States.

Ten seasons of friends, Henry can say that an episode does not fall, familiar with the characters and content of the play!

In order to keep friends as original as possible, Henry asked for the six stars. Henry was deeply impressed by the excellent acting skills of the six actors. Therefore, there is no need to change other people to play!

As for the six stars, they are all on the stage now, but they just don't show up. It's easy to find their contact information from the American actors union!

After Henry gave orders, the staff began to contact the six actors.

At this time, Bob Robin came to Henry's office with a smile on his face.

"Chairman, at 3 o'clock this afternoon, the Los Angeles Lakers and Chicago Bulls will hold a friendly match at the Los Angeles stadium, where ESPN TV will broadcast the whole game live. Are you going to watch the basketball match?"

"Michael Jordan is still with the Bulls?" Asked Henry.

"Of course it is!" "But there's a rumor that Jordan is going to retire in 1993," said Robbie, pausing

"Oh..." Henry looked down and thought for a moment, then said to Bob Robin, "OK, since we're going to retire soon, let's watch his game!"

"ESPN will leave at 2 o'clock and get there ahead of time. We can go there with the film crew. By the way, we can meet the members of the Lakers and the bulls in the backstage lounge," he told Henry with a smile

Henry nodded: "OK, let's go there with the ESPN crew..."

After lunch, Henry took an hour off, and Bob Robin informed Henry that the film crew was ready to leave. Henry answered and went out of the office to join them. Henry also called Helen to watch the game.

It's 2:20 p.m. at the Los Angeles stadium. The crew split into two groups and went to the Lakers and bulls for interviews. And Henry went with the crew to the Bulls
