Chapter 804 Broadcasting Rights

Well, it's really great to have the ability, but fortunately, Oliver is in the same boat with herself, the stronger her ability, the greater the EO Group's development, the more it will help herself, and I am happy to see its achievements are.

At this time, Xu Xiaoming said, "If you want to say that the three sectors under EO Media Company, the record business is the least changeable, the model of the music market is that resources are king, this resource is both singers and songs, no matter which one can be piled up by scale, and the existing major record companies with rich resources are doing well, whether it is Warner, EMI, or Rolling Stone, Polygram, it is impossible to accept the acquisition of EO Media, no matter how much money there is, because people are unwilling to sell, and it doesn't make much sense for other small companies to buy it, so EO Records can only work hard from singer discovery and record distribution, and these two pieces are not effective in a short time, publicity channels can be used to broadcast and television networks, and distribution can also borrow the terminal counter of the videotape, but the most important thing is people, people who sing and people who write songs, about this, I heard Jianxun say that the headquarters has a complete planning plan, and it will be officially launched after the end of the Olympic Games, but for the sake of confidentiality, except for Miss Jones and the project planning team, no one else knows, but, I'm a little guessed,"

Xu Xiaoming had a little thought in his eyes, "Phoenix TV has been holding a singer contest with Phoenix Records in the past two years, and the effect is also very good, and many potential singers have been discovered. ”

Anyway, when Miss Jones was there before, she also explained that in terms of secrecy, Chen Dahe is higher than him, so there is nothing that cannot be said.

The corners of Chen Dahe's mouth turned up slightly, and he guessed very firmly in his heart that the American Idol Project was about to appear.

Using a star-making program to make full use of the resources of the entire radio and television network can not only make the new company famous, but also make profits, and also discover a group of cutting-edge singers for the record company.

It's no wonder that after I told Oliver about the idea of this show, there was no movement here on Phoenix TV, and it still followed the previous singing contest of Li's station and wireless station, but it was a lot more important in terms of investment and specifications.

But how are you going to vote these days? Do you use mail-in ballots?

Well, now this is the only way to go, well, maybe a small number of mobile phone users participated, and by the way, gave the company's mobile phone a boost.

He didn't refute Xu Xiaoming's speculation, nor did he explain, he just chuckled, "Although Phoenix TV and EO Radio and Television Network are not the same system, they can also work together to build momentum, some people in Xiangjiang still sing well in English, and you can also make some preparations in advance." ”

"I understand. Xu Xiaoming nodded, originally he had an idea after hearing the news, but he was worried that if he didn't use it, it would be a waste of resources, so he didn't start it, and now there is Chen Dahe, even if he doesn't use it in the end, he is not afraid, and he must prepare according to the highest standards, in case it is used, then this efficiency will definitely impress the headquarters, and the benefits are higher than the risks, and it is worth a fight.

After chatting with Xu Xiaoming for a long time in the afternoon, he finally understood the recent actions of EO Media, so he politely declined Xu Xiaoming's dinner invitation to say goodbye and leave, and he had to go back to watch the opening ceremony of the Olympic Games.

The Olympics are a bit peculiar, because Los Angeles was given the right to host the Games without any rivals, because the IOC has stipulated that the host city bears full financial responsibility for organizing the Games, and the previous host cities have incurred huge losses in order to host the Games, so that fewer and fewer cities are willing to host them, almost to the point of being unsustainable.

Although Los Angeles took over this year, there was a law in California Welfare Asia, where Los Angeles was located, that public funds could not be used to host the Olympic Games, which forced the International Olympic Committee to agree to the Los Angeles Olympic Organizing Committee to use business to host the Olympics, thus creating a precedent for the modern commercial Olympics.

Well, these have nothing to do with Chen Dahe, he just wants to see the red flag raised for the first time in the Olympic Games, hotels and villas have satellite TV, through satellite TV should be able to see the ABC TV station in the United States, remember that the broadcast rights of this session in the information were bought by them with more than 200 million US dollars.

But when Xu Xiaoming sent him to the door, he suddenly said, "Chen Sheng, tonight we will simultaneously receive the signal from EO TV in the United States, broadcast the Olympic Games in Xiangjiang, and there will be athletes from the motherland competing at that time, do you think you should invite a few leaders of the visiting delegation to come over as guests?"

Wait, Chen Dahe turned his head suddenly, "EO TV? they bought the rights to broadcast the Olympics?

The broadcast rights of this Olympics should have been sold very early, how could it be bought by EO?

"Just two months ago," Xu Xiaoming gave him a strange look, "EO Media bought part of the broadcast rights of the Olympic Games from ABC Company at a price of nearly 200 million US dollars, which can be co-broadcast simultaneously with ABC Company, which has been reported by our TV station before, and it has been publicized during this time,"

Speaking of this, Xu Xiaoming paused, patted his forehead and smiled, "Yes, you only came to Xiangjiang the day before yesterday, and you have been busy with business these days, so you may not have seen our promotional video." ”

The acquisition of nearly $200 million is equivalent to sharing most of the risk for ABC, but it has little impact on their own live broadcast, because how much of a threat can a company that previously had only a few direct stations and is now in the midst of a takeover war be able to threaten them?

No wonder ABC TV is willing to let go, but Oliver is really bold enough, so he is not afraid that he will not be able to return to his roots.

Well, she is already very bold, and there is an advantage to doing this, that is, she can warm up and drain EO TV in advance, and then start the American Idol project again, and the momentum will definitely be many times greater under the seamless connection.

Seeing that Chen Dahe began to be stunned again, Xu Xiaoming couldn't help but call softly, "Chen Sheng?"

If the motherland can really win medals, there will be one or two people who are familiar with athletes at that time, and they will definitely be able to dig out some interesting points, even if they are not familiar with athletes, it doesn't matter, at least people from the mainland know more about the situation than them.

As for the small issue of cooperation with the mainland, it is not within his scope of consideration at all, Phoenix TV and the mainland central station have been cooperating for several years, except for a few clowns who jump off the beam, who has said anything.

Chen Dahe came back to his senses after being called by him, thought for a while and said, "I can't answer you about this matter yet, we have internal discipline, we can't just be on the camera, go back and ask the above for instructions." ”

"Okay," Xu Xiaoming nodded, and there was not much disappointment on his face.

It was originally a whim, and it doesn't matter if it is gratifying or not, and as soon as the Olympics start for half a month, even if it is too late to join in time, the key is to have this gimmick.
