Chapter 210 Very Lively Airing Season
The managers Jed arranged for the Sherman Family Development Fund are basically members of the Sherman family or family members who have close ties. The reason why they didn’t hand it over to John and Shannette is because Jed believes that this part is his inheritance. From the property of the Sherman family, I have the responsibility to keep and develop it.The children and nephews of the Sherman family are very diligent, because the Sherman family development fund does not take the responsibility of creating "fundbabies". Any member of the Sherman family who wants to study and start a business can apply for investment from the family fund, even if they have no ability. Enter the foundation's companies to exercise for a while, but those who want to wait for free money can give up.After discussing things with Kerkorian, the 2 season began.
Although Galaxy Film Group's summer program is considered a failure by many analysts, no one dares to underestimate Warner Dongfeng Broadcasting Group's broadcast season.However, to most people's surprise, the TV program production business unit of Warner Dongfeng Broadcasting Group only launched a new reality show and a new series, and there is no other big move.
The reality show launched by Warner Dongfeng Production Company is a singing program that Jade has registered for a long time ago, "American Idol".However, Jed handed over the show to the Fox TV network, which made Lansing a little angry.Since taking charge of Dongfeng TV Company, Lansing has become more and more interested in watching TV programs or TV dramas. "American Idol" has been a program she has always admired since the project was established.Instead, Jed handed over the show to Fox Network.As soon as this decision came out, not only Lansing was dissatisfied, but Warner Dongfeng Television Company and Art Entertainment Television Network Company were also very dissatisfied.
Jed had to talk to Lansing alone, "I believe "American Idol" will become the most popular talent show in the United States and even in the world, but the problem is that whether it is our wireless TV network thewe or cable TV network a+e, the coverage It’s not as good as the Fox TV network. As you know, we still have plans for at least three talent shows that haven’t been implemented yet. Why not let Fox test the waters for us? Now Dongfeng Entertainment Group is also working hard on mergers and acquisitions. More TV stations, strive to cover our television network in the Caribbean, Guam, Hawaii and Las Vegas by the end of next year, and the American Pacific Islands in the year after.
"Okay!" Lansing also knows that thewe's current coverage cities are mainly the main viewing markets of the United States, and some second- and third-tier viewing markets can no longer be covered, let alone the overseas territories of the United States.In fact, the United States measures the performance of major TV networks in the second and third tier markets. "Will "CSI: Miami" continue to be broadcast on CBS? At the beginning, it was agreed that a spin-off of the CSI series would be put on our Thewe TV network! For this program, the crime investigation channel under the History Channel TV network also deployed a lot of manpower Added to the collection of drama data."
"Give "CSI: Miami" to CBS, we will do our best to produce "CSI: New York"." Jed said with a smile.Jed is very clear that in addition to this series in the csi series, the New York series is the most popular.Although Miami is also a well-known crime city in the United States because of the proliferation of drugs, the monotonous drug cases can easily bore American audiences.Therefore, "CSI: Miami" lasted for about three seasons before announcing the end, while "CSI: New York" has been serialized for more than a dozen seasons and is still on the air, and sometimes it is even worse than this series of "CSI." "It also needs to have a ratings appeal.
After sending off Lansing, Jed received a very good news from Samsung Sherman Technology Group. The portable high-definition camera that Jed had been looking forward to was finally successfully developed.With this high-definition camera, Jade's dream of filming a high-definition TV series has come true.The original high-definition cameras were bulky and only suitable for recording programs indoors.And with the promotion of high-definition and standard-definition standards in the United States, the Federal Communications Commission of the United States has mandated that all terrestrial TV networks and cable TV channels must meet standard-definition standards and realize digital signal transmission before 2, and finally realize high-definition signal broadcasting in 5 .
Since thewe TV network was established late, the cost of equipment update is not as difficult as that of the old TV network.As early as 2, thewe TV network realized some standard-definition TV broadcasts in major viewing cities. This year, it even trial-broadcasted high-definition channels in core viewing markets such as New York, Los Angeles, and Chicago.Therefore, there is no problem with the production and broadcast of high-definition TV series, and "Prison Break", which has always been regarded as an S-level work by the TV production department, seems to be ready to be produced.
"Prison Break", which was created by Jade and then polished by countless Dongfeng screenwriters, has been jokingly called "the unchallenged American drama classic in ten years" by Dongfeng internally.After getting a portable high-definition camera from the Samsung Sherman Group, Lansing asked to put the production of "Prison Break" on the production schedule.Jed thought about it and agreed.He ordered Lansing to find an abandoned prison and buy it, and then transform it into "Fox River Prison" according to the script of "Prison Break".
"We can just lease the land from the state government, why bother to buy it?" Lansing objected.The price of land in the United States is actually not expensive, but the annual land tax is a headache for many companies.Especially if the land is used for construction, there are other taxes waiting to be paid.This is why the vast majority of film companies would rather rent their own venues than build them.Except for Universal, Disney and other senior companies that have parked their shooting locations, many latecomers or senior companies that did not think of it at the beginning have never built similar locations.
Jed himself feels helpless about the land tax in the United States. He is now thinking, how about investing in China to build an American city, and then attracting American film companies to make movies in China?But Jed is just thinking about it. Don't look at Hollywood's advocacy that this is a paradise for free creation, but Hollywood's xenophobia is well known.And go to a Chinese studio to shoot a movie. In the end, this movie is classified as a Chinese movie?Or American movies?American movies are not Hong Kong movies. For American movies, China is only one of the important overseas markets. They can actually survive by relying on the North American market.
From 2 to 2, the first new film to be released was "CSI: Miami" on the cbs TV network. Because of the support of this "CSI", the spin-off drama quickly gained the support of fans of American dramas.And different from this one, because Miami is a passionate city, all kinds of handsome men and beautiful women have attracted many fans of non-crime dramas.But the most popular of this season is Fox Network's "American Idol," a "sing it all" TV talent show.There is no gender requirement, no age threshold, as long as you like music, you can compete for the unique "American Idol" crown. "American Idol" not only dominated the prime time on Tuesday, but also won the ratings of the prime time for a week.
The good performance of "American Idol" made Murdoch happy from ear to ear, and even called Jed to announce the good news.Jed didn't care that such a popular show didn't stay on his thewe TV network, anyway, he signed the sharing agreement with Murdoch.He can also share 19% of the advertising revenue of the entire prime time, so Jade and Warner Dongfeng feel a lot better.The Friday prime segment of thewe TV network is still broadcasting the second season of the "Harry Potter" TV series. "Liport" won the first place in the ratings of Friday's prime segment.And the detailed research data released by Nielsen shows that among the young people aged 49 to [-], nearly [-]% of the audience chose "Harry Potter".This data not only shocked Nielsen internally, but also shocked advertising companies across the United States.
High ratings naturally means high advertising costs, and one of the most important reference lines in ratings is the ratings scale of the "age group from 19 to 49 years old".Because "ages 19 to 49" are recognized by advertising companies as the best advertising targets, they have the ability to consume and enthusiasm for consumption, as long as they are given some impulse to consume, they will soon be converted into consumers of the advertiser.After getting the broadcast data of the first episode of the second season of "Harry Potter", the advertising department of thewe TV network suddenly became the most popular meat and potatoes. "Special" TV show commercials.
The first three commercials before the hottest airing have already sold an average of 3 per episode at a "sky-high price", especially the ad that is closest to the opening title of "Harry Potter" was won by Pepsi for 45 million per episode.Even the pre-roll ads at the end of "Harry Potter" sold for a high price of 6 to 8. Countless people in the advertising industry shouted, "The most profitable TV series of the year is born!"
You must know that in addition to getting advertisements in the North American market, "Harry Potter" is also paid for by advertisements in Europe, Japan, India, and South Korea. off copyright.It is equivalent to the fact that "Harry Potter" made a lot of money as soon as it was produced, so the advertising revenue of the TV network is just icing on the cake.
After the "Harry Potter" TV series was warmed up for nearly two months, the promotional videos and posters of "Harry Potter and the Chamber of Secrets" suddenly appeared in major ticket warehouses around the world.Even the "Hollywood Reporter" couldn't help asking: "Who will tell me when this movie was finished? Where did our entertainment reporters go? Could it be that this movie was filmed on the moon?"
Harry Potter fans were pleasantly surprised by the seemingly sudden "Harry Potter and the Chamber of Secrets" promotion, despite Jed's assurances several times that every Harry Potter movie will be available to fans on Thanksgiving.But the news of Jed's sudden admission to the hospital this year made countless fans very sad, because on the one hand, they wanted to see Harry Potter as scheduled, but on the other hand, they didn't want to give up Jed, a great director.Whether it is Rowling or fans, they all think that Jed is the most suitable Harry Potter film director.Don't you see that "Harry Potter and the Sorcerer's Stone" has been praised by fans and ordinary audiences. During Jed's hospitalization, countless fans were worried that the director of the movie version would be temporarily replaced.Fortunately, Jed persisted, and importantly, the film was released on Thanksgiving as scheduled.
However, according to the agreement with Ms. Rowling, the world premiere of "Harry Potter and the Sorcerer's Stone" will still be held in the UK, and then moved to the US for release a week later.At the same time, in Japan, China and other important ticket warehouse areas, it will also be released around Christmas.
