Chapter 206: Crossing the Line First

Manhattan, inside the ABC office building.

Executives, including CEOs, are having a high-level meeting.

"Although because of the hit of "Abnormal Creature Observations", the ratings of Saturday night film and television dramas have surpassed CBS. ”

But with "Friends" and "Seinfeld", CBS's influence is still firmly in the first place among the three major wireless television networks. ”

The CEO put down the document and glanced at Zai Zhang's executive with a serious expression.

A minute later, he continued: "And NBC, although it is inferior in film and television dramas. ”

"But they've invested heavily in news broadcasts and live sports, and they're no less influential than CNN and ESPN. ”

The CEO threw a document onto the table, "Look at the 'freeway, police driving after fugitives' in Los Angeles last week, their ratings were two instantaneous percentage points higher than ours alone!"

"Do we have fewer helicopters than them, or are the cameras lagging behind them?"

Looking at the silent office, the president rubbed his temples and sighed.

"As the three major wireless television networks, we must have a sense of crisis. ”

"There are so many TV viewers in the United States, and there are more people who watch the other two, and naturally fewer people watch us!"

"Alright," he said, picking up the remote control and turning on the TV in the conference room, "today, NBC will send a large number of reporters to film the Olympic torch relay ceremony in New York." ”

"Let's take a look at how they shoot it. The CEO looked at the head of the news department, "By the way, think about why NBC's coverage of the same piece of news is more attractive than ours." ”

James, who was sitting at the end of the conference table, looked at the TV screen with a serious face.

It's just that his thoughts have long since flown to where they have gone.

"The ratings of the first episode of "Anomalous Creature Observations" can reach the target, and this is still when the plot is not fully developed. ”

And with the full development of the follow-up plot, this drama may not be able to dominate the TV screen of the day like "Friends". ”

"So... Even if ABC is acquired by Disney, it's not necessarily a bad thing. ”

"Maybe I can be the head of Disney's production company!"

At this time, the CEO's voice brought him back to his senses.

"Look at the NBC report, the helicopters in the sky and the reporters on the ground, working together. ”

"Panoramic shots and close-up shots give the audience a sense of being there!"

"We... That's how it works. The spokesman for the Department of Public Information muttered quietly.

"That's when the crowd isn't crowded," the CEO shouted, "the torch relay is coming to Wall Street, keep your eyes open." ”

The elderly white man sat up from his chair and pressed his fingers firmly on the TV screen, "This is in front of the NASDAQ, the most crowded place in all of New York!"

"Look at the crowd density now, NBC's shooting is still smooth!"

Only, his voice grew quieter and quieter, until his eyes widened and he looked at the TV screen.

And the attention of others in the office is becoming more and more concentrated.

The people in the Ministry of Information even gloated in a low voice, "Ha, there was a live broadcast accident." ”

The three major wireless TV networks, when they broadcast live in the United States, there was a live broadcast accident?

"Hey," James took a sip of his coffee.

His current mentality is completely to watch the excitement and not think it's a big deal.

"Ewing is so attractive, should we ask him to shoot a commercial?" whispered from the advertising department.

On the sports department, there was a commotion.

James listened carefully, and the content was probably "Ewing fans, how can they wear a Los Angeles Lakers jersey?"

"Actually, it's also a good choice to let Ewing come and make a cameo appearance as a demon. ”

"Well, when filming the demon world, contact each other. Although James stared at the TV with wide eyes, his mind was still immersed in his own world.

"Protest against ABC's deletion of "Abnormal Creature Observations", Wang, we will always support you!"

"What?" he rubbed his ears, thinking he might be hallucinating.

"Alas, I've been putting too much energy into 'Anomalous Creature Observations' lately. ”

"James. A colleague next to him patted him on the shoulder, and finally got his attention back to the office.

Seeing that everyone, including the CEO, was looking at him, James finally got serious about watching TV.

Is that... Wang Gradual?

His Twitter, it looks like he's going to go public today.

But why did the group of people in white T-shirts surround him?

"Protest ABC..."

James listened carefully for a long time, and finally scolded: "Bull shit!"

"I've obviously communicated with Wang!"

The CEO thought for a moment and put on a smiling face.

"It's okay, this will help increase the popularity of Anomalous Creature Sights. ”

"Without the participation of the 'black equality' movement, the rest of the organizations would not have much impact. ”

"Besides," the CEO sat back in his office chair and said calmly, "According to the unspoken rules between the three major wireless television networks, we will not attack each other." ”

"Rest assured, the camera will switch back in no time. ”

With the CEO's words, the camera immediately switches to Ewing's close-up.

James breathed a sigh of relief in his heart, and by the way, he didn't forget to look at the CEO of ABC with adoring eyes.

The CEO smiled and took a sip of his coffee.

But the next voice on the TV was: "I firmly oppose discrimination against African Americans, why did I choose a black actor as a demon in ABC's "Anomalous Creature Observations"?"

"What about the plot where the devil helps others and gives back to the community?"

With a "poof", the coffee in the CEO's mouth squirted out.

He suddenly looked back at the TV, only to see the famous football star Ewing, holding the Olympic torch, striding towards the door of the NASDAQ.

"I support you, King," Ewing raised the left hand of a young Asian American, "In your Anomalous Creature Observations, all races can coexist amicably and equally. ”

"And the adaptation of ABC ruined all this!"

There was a burst of cheers from the scene, and the crowd began to shout in unison: "King, we support you!"

This...

James swallowed, "Mr. President, I can contact Wang Jian and ask him to issue a clarification statement." ”

"Look at the camera, his expression..."

"I'm sure he'll do it. ”

The CEO turned his head to look at the TV, only to see the Asian smile awkwardly but politely.

He thought for a moment, then shook his head slowly.

"That would cause "Anomalous Creature Observations" to be attacked from all sides, which would cause a drop in ratings. ”

"That's... We're just acquiescing?" asked the head of the Department of Public Information, incredulously.

Holding the three major wireless TV networks, you still have to take the blame for others?

This young Asian is paid more than the president of the United States!

"We went to work with this Asian writer and put on a show to calm the anger of these groups. ”

"On the other hand," the CEO looked at the head of news, "to collect some NBC stuff." ”

"This time, they crossed the line first!"
