The richest man starts with a blind box

Chapter 857 We Only Broadcast TV Shows

Donald knew these things very well, and he didn't think about cheating Boss Huang, so he told the people all the problems inside very frankly, and then said, "Sir, if you really want to start this TV station, then I still suggest that you operate according to the normal TV station method, otherwise you will fail like me in the end!"

"No, the current TV operating rules are actually outdated!" Huang He said, seeing Donald's disapproving expression, he asked, "Mr. Donald, what do you think, if I follow the rules that everyone uses? If this set of TV operating rules is used to operate, even if I invest a huge amount of money, is it possible to beat the current five major TV network?"

"..." Donald stopped talking. He once thought he could do this, but countless facts proved that it was impossible.Among other things, just a cable network covering the entire United States is impossible. The five major TV stations are in harmony. As long as they pinch the cable TV signal, the gods will not even think about developing it.

Unless Huang He intends to invest in a new cable TV network covering the entire meter, this is obviously impossible.

"So we need a new way of thinking to operate Los Gato TV, and this way of thinking is the way Los Gato is currently using. This is the only way we can beat the five major TV stations!" Huang He said.

"It's impossible!" Donald shook his head. "There are too many difficulties and problems here, and they simply cannot be solved by us now!"

"Okay, then list the problems and difficulties one by one, and I'll solve them on the spot for you to see!" Huang He accepted it very simply.

Donald was taken aback when he heard this, but he was not polite, and said directly, "The first problem is the problem of a large number of TV drama resources and variety show resources. How to solve this? If you want to meet the operation method you mentioned, even if you count the reruns, Our TV station also has to prepare more than 50 TV drama resources and at least ten different variety show resources every year!"

"This is the best solution!" Huang He smiled and said, "Netflix is ​​mine, and Netflix has a lot of TV series copyrights, and they can all be transferred to Dolos Gatto TV station to broadcast!"

"In addition, I have a lot of TV drama and film and television drama resources in China. I plan to establish a special beautification team, and when these TV drama resources in China are all beautified!"

"Of course, foreign TV dramas are not easy to open up the market, so I plan to invest about 10 billion US dollars to go to a TV drama production company in the United States to buy the copyrights of TV dramas they have broadcast...The prices of these TV drama copyrights are actually very cheap, but many viewers In fact, I don’t mind watching reruns, and I even really hope to watch these TV series again.”

"I found someone to calculate that 10 billion US dollars is enough to get the copyrights of more than 5000 TV series. These resources are enough to broadcast on Los Gato TV for more than ten years!"

"..." Donald was shocked by Boss Huang's magnanimity, and spent 10 billion dollars without batting an eyelid, as if the money wasn't money.

But Donald is not so easy to admit defeat. He quickly retorted that "these resources are only able to allow the TV station to broadcast uninterruptedly. This is just a basic requirement of a TV station. If our TV station really wants to beat the five major TV stations , then we must continue to launch popular TV series!"

"It doesn't need much, as long as we can release a hit TV series equivalent to the old... The Big Bang Theory every year, we can hope to gather a lot of popularity and beat the five major TV networks!" Donald said.

"I know this too!" Boss Huang nodded. "You may not be clear. I also have Marvel Films, Tangren Films in the United States, and Weta Studios in New Zealand. These are all film and television resources owned by Jiangnan Group. In the past few years, more than 10 films have been produced or are in production!"

"Next, I plan to draw some elite forces from these companies to set up the Los Gato TV production department. We can shoot the TV series we want to shoot by ourselves, or invest in other companies to produce TV series, etc. And we will do our best at all costs. Create a high-quality TV series!"

"In my plan, we will produce one super TV drama with a total cost of more than 2 million U.S. dollars every year, and 5 high-quality TV dramas with a total cost of 2 million to 000 million U.S. dollars. At the same time, we will also invest in creating a total of In the 1th step or so, there are no restrictions, and only the scripts are good or bad TV dramas, do you think we will not have excellent content with such a heavy investment?"

Huang He's words made Donald lick his tongue involuntarily. He suddenly realized that if Huang He was really willing to spend such money, then the content of the TV series would really crush the so-called five major TV networks.

After all, these TV stations have never invested in any TV series with a cost of more than 1 million US dollars, but now the new boss starts with 000 TV series with a scale of 6 million US dollars every year. This level of domineering is frightening.

"Well, let's not talk about the TV series itself, but in terms of the program arrangement of the TV station, I still don't agree with this kind of program that is all TV series. This is actually not friendly to the audience..." Donald said.

"What you said is very reasonable. If you simply broadcast TV series continuously, it is indeed very easy to make the audience feel tired. But you have to admit that 60% of the audience actually don't want to watch the news. They only like to watch TV series or variety shows. Programs, or some funny talk shows, serious news cannot be loved by the vast majority of viewers!"

"Besides, there are too many TV stations currently producing various news columns. Every TV station has to invest huge sums of money in collecting and producing various news columns, but in fact, how can there be so much news in the world? , Many TV stations broadcast the same news, such competition is meaningless."

"So it's better to just open up and conduct differentiated competition, and completely let the entire TV station stop broadcasting news, or not broadcast those traditional types of news anchor programs, but instead produce news and talk programs similar to talk shows!" Huang He said. .

"That's right! But it's difficult to reconcile these two points. The most important thing is that the TV series you broadcast may not be liked by most viewers, and broadcasting TV series on a large scale may easily cause problems such as missing episodes and so on. ..." Donald repeated.

"Okay, skip this point first, let's move on to other questions!" Boss Huang actually skipped it directly.

Donald felt a little uncomfortable, but he continued to say, "Advertisement, if you produce TV series according to the standard you mentioned earlier, I am afraid that the annual cable TV service fee alone cannot meet such an expensive TV series production fee. But you And promised not to charge advertising fees, then I really can't think of why you want to do this business, it's obviously going to lose money!"

"Skip this one too! Continue with other questions!!" Huang He actually skipped it again.

"I'm sure I'm out of luck with this guy!" Donald muttered in his heart, but he continued obediently, "In the end, it's the problem of the cable TV network. If we enter the game on such a large scale, the five major TV networks will definitely cut us off." Cable TV signal, there's nothing we can do to fight that!"

"Are there any other questions?" Huang He continued to ask after listening carefully.

"No more, these are the main ones. Although there are others, they are not important and can be overcome!" Donald shook his head.

"Very good. In fact, the reason why I want to skip the first two questions is because these three questions can actually be solved by one method, that is, to change the way of thinking, change the track, and stop playing with them!" Huang The boss said with a smile.

"Change the track?" Donald was stunned. It wasn't that he didn't understand the meaning of changing the track, but he didn't understand where the track was!
"The track is here!" Huang He walked to the TV in the room, and then unplugged the TV cable on it.

If you look along this cable TV cable, you will find that this TV cable is not directly connected to the cable TV hole on the wall, but connected to a box. Another line came out.

If you follow this line, you will find that this network cable is finally connected to a computer.

"In the United States, most of the network cables extend from the telephone lines, right?" Boss Huang suddenly asked with a smile.

"That's right, most of the network cables are telephone cables!" Donald nodded.

In the eyes of many readers, the TV line is the TV line, the telephone line is the telephone line, and the broadband is the broadband. These are three completely independent communication lines without any influence between them.

But in fact, at the beginning of the 21st century, most cities did not have expensive broadband lines. Even the great United States will have to wait until after 2012 to popularize broadband.

Prior to this, network lines were basically mixed with the other two lines.

In China, this line is the telephone line. Readers with memories should remember that when surfing the Internet, you need to use a thing called a cat. When connected to the telephone line, it will continuously make a squeaky sound. The only way to access the Internet is to separate the network signal from the telephone line, which is why Huaxia's network was originally operated by Huaxia Telecom, after all, all the lines are in the hands of others.

But the United States is different. In the United States, the number of telephone lines used to connect to the Internet is actually very good, and the lines actually used to connect to the Internet are actually cable TV lines.

Because of the need to transmit video signals, the ability of cable TV lines to transmit network signals is actually very strong, not much worse than the early broadband.

The cable TV network in the United States was rolled out very early, so when their network was built, they basically chose to mix it directly with the cable TV line, so the cats in the United States are not connected to the telephone line, but to the TV line!
