The next morning, New York City.

Wang gradually sat in his office, looking at the many soap opera magazines sent by the website staff.

These soap opera magazines will make their own evaluations of the film and television dramas that are currently airing.

And among them, about prison breaking, it is probably "The plot can't stand up to scrutiny at all, it's just the screenwriter's imagination!"

"Disgusting! This kind of drama can be logged into CBS, the United States is going to end! The American film and television drama market is going to be over!"

"The actors are beautiful, and other than that, there's not much to say. ”

These film critics have such a low evaluation of "Prison Break"?

The king gradually did not believe in evil, and continued to flip through the magazines.

Finally, in the last magazine, he finally saw the only positive testimonial.

"After "Friends" swept the major ratings lists, it seems that sitcoms have suddenly become the mainstream of TV dramas.

The old jokes and blunt acting skills of the works that follow the trend simply make the audience feel embarrassed across the screen.

But a few days ago, a series called "Prison Break" with the theme of the heroine entering prison landed in the morning session of CBS, which can't help but make people's eyes shine.

It is recommended that those crappy screenwriters watch it carefully and learn how to write an ironic comedy. ”

Belch...

Ironic comedy of GodTM.

Wang gradually took a sip of strong tea, feeling a faint bitter taste permeating his mouth.

At this time, Tom walked into the office and handed a document to Wang.

"This is the ratings report that has just been received, faxed by Cbs. ”

"Just say it. Wang gradually opened the drawer of his desk and took in all the soap opera magazines.

"At the same time yesterday, "Prison Break" ranked first in the ratings. ”

"At present, the number of viewers is not enough, and it should be dragged down by the low viewing period in the morning. ”

CBS expects to meet the renewal criteria by the time the third episode of Jailbreak airs. ”

Well?

Wang Yan, who had just been hit hard by the soap opera magazine, raised his eyebrows and hurriedly took the ratings list.

By the way, due to the impact of the broadcast of film and television dramas, the paid readers of the "Prison Break" novel serialized on the website have also increased significantly. ”

"And most of these readers are women!" Tom continued.

And in the same New York, in the Goldman Sachs office building.

Lyman, a junior partner who was in a happy mood and drinking hand-ground coffee, also took over the ratings list handed by the secretary.

Then, his brow furrowed.

What the?

Even that bad script, can you get the first place in the ratings in the same period?

Unconvinced, he picked up the phone and dialed the CBS staff.

A few minutes later, Lyman hung up the phone and glanced around the office in a trance.

Then, he sighed with a swear word that is usually impossible to say: "Why is there so much stupidity in the United States?"

"Sir, the website project leader asked you to come to his office. The secretary's voice interrupted his thoughts.

"Got it. ”

Lyman took a deep breath, straightened his clothes, and left his office.

Moments later, inside the office of the project team leader.

"Sit down. The old man stood in front of the floor-to-ceiling window, his back to Lyman and commanded.

"That adapted film and television drama has already been broadcast, right?

"Uhhh According to CBS, meeting the renewal criteria is not a big problem. ”

"That means we've almost lost the VAM deal?" the project team leader turned around, his eyes sharp.

"We can contact the CBS people and turn the ratings up...", Lyman's voice grew lower.

"Nonsense. The project team leader walked up to Lehman and stared at him condescendingly, "What is the name of our investment bank, and what is it called on Wall Street?"

"Goldman Sachs, "White Knight"?" Lyman looked up at the project leader.

"Then what is our investment strategy?" the eyes of the project team leader are still full of oppression.

"Before a successful project goes public, exclude other investment institutions as much as possible, and do not hesitate to fight for this!"

Like the students who were taught, Lyman recounted the education he received from his first day at Goldman Sachs.

"And when the project can continue to bring profits, we don't act rashly. ”

"So you remember. The project leader pointed to the computer screen, "So what do you look like?"

Lyman looked up at the computer screen.

I saw that what was displayed on the screen was the data of the rapidly expanding website.

The manga adapted from the website's work "Arcane Throne" is currently ranked second in the annual manga sales list;

And its eponymous game is currently competing with Diablo for the first place in the annual game sales list.

A physical book co-published by the website and Random House, "Harry Potter and the Philosopher's Stone" has also climbed the bestseller list.

and "Prison Break", co-produced with Goldman Sachs, ranked first in the ratings list of the same period.

At this time, the project team leader said: "Even if you don't look at this, just look at the skyrocketing number of users and the payment rate of that website." Then this investment will be a sure success!"

He walked up behind Lyman and put his hands on Lyman's shoulders, "Then you say, what are we going to do?"

Lyman felt the increasing force on his back and replied quickly.

"While using the pressure of other investment institutions, the website management completely guided us. ”

"On the other hand, when the website can still bring us profits, use the influence of Goldman Sachs to escort the website price. ”

"Correct. The old man put his hands off Lyman's shoulders, "So, you know what to do?"

"Yes, uncle. He stood up and looked directly at the project leader.

"Very well, go ahead and get your hands dirty. ”

Lyman bowed to the old man and walked out of the office.

It's just that he muttered to himself: "Wang Yan, pray that God will bless you and go on smoothly." ”

A few minutes later, inside the site's office, the phone rang.

Wang gradually picked up the phone and asked casually, "Hey, who are you?"

"I'm Lyman from Goldman Sachs. ”

"In accordance with the requirements of the VAM agreement, you hope that Goldman Sachs will help promote the tax-exempt status of the "Literary Creators Charity Fund". ”

"So, tonight on a cruise ship in New York Harbor, there's a banquet. Among the invited guests, there are some politically related people. ”

"When the time comes, I hope that the person in charge of the website, who is the subject of the application, will be able to attend on time. ”

""Prison Break" hasn't fully met the renewal criteria, right?" Wang gradually took out the ratings list again and looked at it carefully.

"Goldman Sachs has full confidence in the website and in you. We don't mind showing Goldman Sachs' goodwill through practical actions. ”
