Chapter 1185： Decline in circulation

Yang Cheng reminded Hansen to be more mindful and always be vigilant for relatives and friends who appear inexplicably around him. The world is too cruel, especially when you have the money and power that countless people envy, "There are always people who want to The thought of harming me became more and more serious.

. . .

On the last day of January, "Fifty Shades of Darkness" successfully held its premiere in London. Prince William and his family of four personally joined the show, setting off the biggest red carpet GC that night.

But then the media frantically condemned William’s move to bring his children to watch the movie. Because of the scale of "Fifty Shades" itself, let alone children, even young people between 14 and 5 could not enter the cinema to watch. A member of the royal family, Prince William actually took the lead in doing things that violate the rules. The media who thinks they have grasped the handle will not let it go, especially those media that specialize in reporting royal gossip. That crazy posture is great. Don't let the royal family collapse.

As a result, William was prepared for this. He posted a photo of the little prince and the little princess resting in the independent lounge through social media early, with a text, "The rules are unbreakable. As a member of the royal family, you must take the lead."

Okay, it looks a little naive, but the effect is excellent. After a few celebrities reprinted it, the gossip disappeared without a trace, and it came and went fast. It was these annoying things. Gossip media.

In any case, because of this accident, the popularity of the film in the UK and even in Europe has risen several steps. It seems that the film has not been affected by the source of the film.

Moreover, after re-editing, it focuses more on the plot and makes the whole movie look smoother. The action love scene that has been the mainstay before has also become the finishing touch of the auxiliary plot. I have to say that Harvey has done this. It's a pleasant surprise.

The United States was also released at the same time, because this is the main market where the source of the film leaked, so the entire company paid special attention to the box office performance of North America.

Fortunately, as a vanguard against Harvey, New Era Pictures has achieved great success. The theaters that have suffered from being oppressed by Harvey for many years are regarded as turned serfs and sang. In return, the theaters took the initiative to increase the rate of filming in North America. With the scale of 3,300 theaters opening, the box office hit $50 million on the first day of the show.

It then further expanded to 3,600 theaters, grabbed another $42 million in the box office the next day, and finally won a total of $125 million in the first weekend of the first four days, breaking the series of records set by the first part of the series.

Not only did the North American market perform well, but the movie "Fifty Degrees of Darkness" was once again set off overseas. As the premiere venue, the UK, driven by hot news, directly grabbed US$12 million in the box office in the first week. The German box office with more than 11 million yuan has become the largest box office in Europe.

Overall, "Fifty Degrees of Darkness" won US$194 million in the first week of its release, breaking the box office record of the last US$188 million in the first weekend. Unfortunately, it is only one step away from the US$200 million mark. remote.

The box office sales were a foregone conclusion. After reading the briefing from Donna Lande, Yang Cheng relaxed and turned his attention to other places.

However, when he saw the next briefing, he was furious and skipped Susu directly. A phone call was made to Eddie’s office, and he was scolded and asked him to take the CEO and editor-in-chief of The New York Times. Meet him as quickly as possible.

Yang Cheng’s anger spread through the telephone receiver. Eddie didn’t dare to neglect, and hurriedly informed the two heads of the New York Times, no matter what method is used, rush to the boss’s office as quickly as possible, otherwise you will be at your own risk. .

Needless to say, they also guessed why Yang Cheng was angry. As early as when the newsletter was finished and sent to Yang Cheng, they knew that Yang Cheng would summon, but they waited nervously for a few days, thinking that the matter could be fooled. , I didn't expect my heart to relax a little less than a long time, and then he chased me with a call to life.

How to do? Accept your fate! Anyway, stretching one's head is a cut and shrinking one's head.

In less than half an hour, the three outsiders are big-time figures in the hearts of countless people. They gathered outside Yang Cheng’s office with their heads and their heads drooping. They first communicated with each other with their eyes, except for helplessness or helplessness. In the end, Eddie, who is most familiar, tried a few words with Susu, mainly concerned about Yang Cheng's state at this time. Has his anger been calmed? Still irritable?

Susu's answer to this is, "The boss won't let me in, so take care of yourself, good luck~"

Well, it's better not to ask. The three men who are more than 100 years old in total feel that their mentality is about to collapse, especially when Mark Thomson, CEO of the New York Times who doesn't see Yang Cheng often, suddenly feels a pain in his calf. , It may be cramps.

There was a cold sweat on his forehead for an instant, which was really painful.

As a result, two colleagues who were short-sighted pushed the door and went in. There was no way, dragging a cramped leg and following in step by step.

Fortunately, Yang Cheng focused on the computer and didn't see his embarrassment. Otherwise, he had to be turned on. Such an unpromising subordinate, whoever wants it.

The three of them walked to the desk as gently as possible. You look at me and I look at you. No one dared to speak first.

In fact, Yang Cheng had already noticed that someone had come in. Nonsense, the three big living men opened the door and walked in. The blind man could feel it, and he was not blind.

But he just didn't turn his head, and deliberately left them in the air, first to wear away the courage in their hearts to refute, otherwise these elites would not necessarily listen to him as a young man.

However, he really thought a lot. Jun didn't know what the state of these three people were before they came. They were ready for the last round of being scolded by the 18th generation of the family's ancestors.

Time was walking minute by minute, needle dropping in the huge office was audible, and even the breathing sound was extremely weak.

Unknowingly, Eddie, who is most familiar with it, also realized that the situation is not good. It seems that the boss is no longer just angry, I am afraid that the anger of the wife running away with others is also the same?

The three of them lowered their heads slightly, just like the elementary school students who made a mistake. They didn't dare to get out of the air. Their feet were almost numb and they didn't dare to move a step. If they were seen by outsiders, they would definitely scare their teeth.

It took a full 20 minutes for Yang Cheng to finally move. He pointed his eyes towards the computer at the three of them. It was not that he did not want to continue. It was really too tired to maintain the same posture. He almost couldn't hold on to it. He turned around, but whenever he changed a comfortable position, he had to fight them for another 20 minutes.

A pair of eagle eyes scanned the three of them back and forth. After a long while, they coldly snorted, "Tell me, know why I called you here?"

The first reaction of the three people was not to answer the question, but to breathe a sigh of relief. It would be good to be able to speak, and the pressure of silence was really unbearable.

Eddie looked at Dean Barquette and said, "You are the editor-in-chief of the New York Times, and you will answer."

Barquette was not fooled. This bald head, who also had Indian ancestry, raised his glasses and looked at Mark Thomson beside him, "You are the CEO in charge of operations, you said."

Mark Thomson was a little pale at the moment, his calf muscles had not been relieved just now, and now he has been scammed by two shameless pig teammates, and this day cannot be passed.

Looking at Yang Orange who also looked at him, suddenly there was an urge to find a hole in the end to save his life.

Forget it, isn't it just a curse? What's the big deal, Mark Thomson made the final mobilization in his heart, raised his hand to wipe off the cold sweat on his forehead, and sneered, "Because the circulation of newspapers has declined severely this month."

"Well, you still know it, so you give me a reason now, why is there such a serious decline, 9%, what is the average circulation now? You suddenly lost one-tenth, why? I think it’s time for the newspaper to lay off staff? Are you going to be the first one?"

Yang Cheng didn't open his mouth and it was fine. When he opened his mouth, it was a posture of landslides. When swimming normally, he did not see his lung capacity so good, but he didn't even need to change his breath when he screamed.

"Boss, listen to me. The decline in circulation this month is purely an accident." Mark Thomson is in a hurry. If you don't rush, the job will be gone. It is not easy to find a high-paying job these years!

Yang Cheng felt reasonable and leaned back in the chair, staring at Thomson without speaking.

Thomson ignored his sweat, swallowed, moistened his dry throat, and smiled bitterly, "This month the entire northeastern United States has suffered severe snowstorms and cold snaps. Newsstands have been closed, and newsboys are prohibited from going out. This led to a sharp decline in circulation.

However, it is not without good news. Our pure digital subscriptions have exploded. The current number of users has exceeded 1 million. If the growth curve continues, revenue at the end of the year will exceed 200 million US dollars. "

Thomson is also a bit quick-witted knowing that it's useless to explain mistakes, so he has to use good news to divert Yang Cheng's attention.

Sure enough, Yang Cheng's momentum receded, her body leaned forward slightly, showing a curious posture, and asked, "Tell me in detail."

Before the acquisition of The New York Times, Yang Cheng knew that in the process of digital transformation of traditional media, the construction of the paywall of the New York Times was unique, and it was a rare bright spot in the media landscape of a place.

But because of the existence of the headline app, the functions of the two overlap in part, so he has been considering whether to merge the two departments. However, because the New York Times has just joined the group family, it is not easy to make big moves for the time being. The matter has been pressed down.

However, he did not expect Mark Thomson to give himself a big surprise. Just like those outside experts preached, it seems that the pay wall of the "New York Times" is the Great Wall of the American newspaper industry. Its building block news, VR news, live video, etc. The quasi-model drama project is a supernatural power, and now that the power has been accomplished, it can be used alone.
