Witness of the film and television world

Chapter 144 Sports Channel
"Washington Post": 13 people were hospitalized due to shock, Chainsaw, the pinnacle of federal thriller movies.

"Los Angeles Express": Quinn commented on Chainsaw, this is a milestone movie, I don't recommend children to watch it.

"Chicago Daily": John Dixon Carr, the "King of Secret Chamber Reasoning", commented that it is a masterpiece of non-essential works, and it is a work with 90 points for restricted works.

"Playboy": Rex Stott's evaluation, the terrifying chainsaw, the ultimate meaning of life!

"Entertainment Weekly": Brett Halliday's review, the best thriller film work I have seen.

……

In a blink of an eye, under Peyton's efforts, all the major media outlets in the federation started promoting "Chain Saw".

Among them, the most eye-catching ones are of course the recommendations of many famous reasoning writers.

Accompanied by the appearance of famous writers and recommended by Qiqi, their book fans began to walk into the cinema to enjoy this milestone film masterpiece.

A reporter from the New York Times even jokingly said: "The entire Mystery Writers Association is on the platform, but unfortunately this is not a novel, otherwise this year's Edgar Allan Poe Award will be scheduled."

For this, Payton can only keep thanking the reasoning writers who came to watch the movie.

On the other hand, seeing the influence of these writers, Clover, the investor of Chainsaw, took the initiative and reimbursed all the expenses of traveling to Hollywood for dozens of invited writers.

For this, he seems to be willing, at most only more than one hundred thousand dollars.

Nowadays, the box office trend of the movie is very good, with a cumulative total of 670 million, and it is expected to be at least another excellent work with more than 4000 million.

Clover, who took 50% of the profits, undoubtedly made a lot of money.

The other investors were also extremely enthusiastic, and they were more dedicated to their projects, and visited the crew several times.

Payton sighed a little: "To be honest, it's a bit beyond my expectation."

Clover was curious: "How?"

"Did you pay attention to the Washington Post report? My initial pitch was to use extreme horror."

"Let the audience faint and be hospitalized because of watching the movie, and define the movie as the most terrifying in history, thus arousing the audience's interest. Unexpectedly, it was directly overshadowed by the writers' movie reviews."

Peyton's original release plan was a variant of propaganda similar to Ghost Shadow, exaggerating the film's effect, and attracting federal people to willingly enter the cinema and pay for the film.

Unexpectedly, before the publicity started, it was completely overwhelmed by the voices of all reasoning writers.

Clover laughed: "That's Quinn, John Dixon Carr, Rex Stott... More than half of the federal people have read their works and spoke out together, plus you in Life is Beautiful and The reputation of The Sound of Music will naturally attract everyone's attention."

To be honest, Cloverfield is not a person who loves to read reasoning works, nor does he know who these authors are.

It wasn't until a few days ago that these authors published film reviews in newspapers, which aroused heated discussions throughout the federation, that he realized how influential these people really were.

Peyton nodded: "Okay, you continue to catch the publicity, the current trend is good, don't go wrong."

Clover nodded: "Don't worry, I know."

"Chairman!" Roussier saluted Payton respectfully.

Payton nodded: "Let's send the contract to the NBA."

"Yes, yesterday, Stephen brought people over to sign the contract."

"Chairman, what position should we place in NBA broadcasting?"

Payton thought for a moment: "Let's directly set up a dedicated sports channel."

"Chairman, isn't this too wasteful?"

Payton waved his hand: "No, it's not just the NBA. The sports industry in the Federation is developing well. Football, baseball, ice hockey, and the NCAA in colleges. Next, you can talk about their TV broadcasting rights. You can sign a longer one." , especially the NCAA."

"If you can sign an exclusive, sign an exclusive."

"At present, our TV shopping is doing well, but there are almost no advantages in other aspects. Even political talk hosting news is gradually surpassed by daily news. Our TV station must have core competitiveness. Starting with sports is a good choice."

Roussier suddenly realized: "Understood, I will get someone to implement it as soon as possible."

Payton gave an appreciative expression, thought of something, and said, "By the way, I remember that the International Olympic Committee revised the charter last year. Go and win the exclusive federal broadcast rights for the next session."

The television companies that broadcast the Olympic Games in 1956 all refused to pay the broadcast fee on the grounds that the Olympic games were news.

This incident caused quite a stir at the time, forcing the International Olympic Committee to amend its charter.

At present, there is no first TV station that pays for broadcasting, and Payton just happens to be the first person to eat crabs.

If you win it ahead of time, you will definitely not suffer a loss.

Payton and Roussier communicated some sports content.

Roussier immediately decided to hire professionals who understand various leagues, so that he can provide him with more professional advice.

After saying this, Roussier took out a document.

"Boss, you said earlier that you would make a TV series. This is the beginning of the three stories written by the screenwriters. After discussion, everyone thinks they are all good. Take a look."

Peyton opened the file and roughly browsed the content. They were all popular themes, family soap operas, and family comedies.

"Let's try this soap opera. First, train the team. At the end of the year, I'll get you two scripts."

"Yes."

……

Mattel, Wisconsin, a negotiation has come to an end.

"Happy cooperation!"

“Happy working together!”

Dale Lynson smiled and shook hands with Elliot Handler and Ruth Handler.

"Ma'am, welcome to the Marvel family, Barbie will definitely become a shining star under Marvel."

When Ruth Handler heard this, she also looked forward to it: "I hope that Barbie can really become a worldwide symbol under Marvel."

Dale Linsen laughed, looking very confident: "Of course!"

This acquisition went smoothly, without any obstacles that Dale Linson had expected before.

As the creator of Barbie dolls, Ruth Handler has a very strong idea of ​​promoting Barbie dolls. After Marvel came to her door and learned about Marvel's strength, she didn't have the slightest resistance in her heart.

And her husband Elliott Handler was also completely moved by the practical benefits given by Marvel.

Driven by practical interests and Dale Linson's description of a bright future, the husband and wife quickly agreed to this acquisition, making Barbie a member of Marvel.

Even Ruth Handler took the initiative to join Marvel, hoping to become the main promotion member of Barbie dolls.
