It was also the first time that Donn had visited the largest, oldest-school public television station like NBC.

At 8 a.m. the next day, Donn and Steve Burke and his gang converged on their way to 30 Rockefeller Center, the headquarters of NBC.

On the way, Don had a feeling.

New York...... It is really a commercial center of finance and economy.

During the morning work period, the flow of people is too high. In Los Angeles, which is Disneyland and Universal Studios, you can see such crowded scenes.

Moreover, almost all men are in suits and leather shoes, walking rapidly, talking on the phone, and have already started their busy work.

Compared with the dull and sluggish West Coast, the pace of life on the East Coast is really much faster.

When I arrived at the door of the headquarters building, I saw a large number of people queuing up there, and two high-spirited black doormen, holding electric batons in their hands, were maintaining order.

It's like going through the security check of an airplane, it's very strict.

"They are visiting tourists, so check out. We don't need to, just go in. Seeing Don stop, Steve Burke hurriedly explained in a whisper.

Don smiled and shook his head slightly.

He was just curious.

Then, one of the tall, blonde girls in a Nordic accent was heard asking softly, "Is there a fee for the tour?"

I saw the black doorman, pouting with disdain and saying, "Of course! This is New York!"

Good guy, what a big mouth!

A doorman is not proud and does not pay attention to these foreign tourists at all.

This is probably the most prosperous and indifferent city in the world.

After a short pause, the NBC staff came over to greet them warmly.

To my surprise, the leader turned out to be the beautiful and talented woman Maria Batirom!

She is the ace host of CNBC Finance Channel, and is probably the common goddess in the hearts of elite American men.

She is not only the host, but also her views on the stock market, economy, finance, etc., and she has found a new way to get into the wood, even if she is the president of a group like Goldman Sachs and Citigroup, she must bow down to her, and read her column every day.

Even before the dot-com bubble crisis, she had repeatedly called on investors to be cautious and wary of irrational exuberance.

Of course, she is also a very beautiful woman, and she is only 37 years old this year.

Don didn't think about it, but it didn't prevent him from admiring her talents.

A woman can make a name for herself and be respected in New York, especially in an area like Manhattan, where the patriarchal atmosphere is extremely prominent, which is probably what Oprah can do.

The rest of the process is simple.

Tours, explanations, jokes.

Tang En, in line with the attitude of talking less if he could, followed the large army.

It has to be said that NBC Group ...... It's really a big company!

It's too big!

"This is the live studio of the Oprah show. The cameras are all HD cameras, and each one is worth millions of dollars. ”

Although two of NBC's vice presidents accompanied the delegation, Maria Batirom was still the keynote speaker.

She's the host, and she's sharp-tongued.

Don saw Ella Fisher, who was wearing a skirt next to him, shivering, and frowned, "Here...... Will the cold air turn on too much?"

Maria Batirom said helplessly: "There are six noses in total, and there are more than 360 large and small spotlights on the ceiling. If there is no air conditioning, it will be a very hot stove when the broadcast starts. Even on a rest day, the low temperature ...... It is also beneficial for condensing water vapor, thus protecting all video equipment and lamps. ”

Tang En said unhappily: "But this kind of cold air is very unfriendly to women!"

It's already May and it's a little hot.

However, the entire Rockefeller Center building was full of air conditioning, and the temperature was ...... Very low.

Men are all wearing suits, but what about women in professional skirts?

Sure enough, machismo prevails!

Maria Bartirom looked at Donn with a little more intimacy, and said lightly: "The whole of New York is like this, and this is the largest refrigeration and air conditioner." Fortunately, we women are used to it, frost resistant. ”

Steve Burke half-jokingly said, "Hehe, it's pretty much the same." Women must learn to resist the frost, and men must learn to resist the heat, which is the rule of survival in New York. ”

Don had nothing more to say, took off his blazer, and put it on Ella Fisher.

This heartwarming picture was immediately captured by the accompanying videographer with a camera. Whether it was the inspection group or the reception group, the eyes that looked at Tang En were a little closer.

As for the female personnel, the eyes that looked at Ella Fisher were naturally envious, jealous and hateful.

Next, we went to the Music Studio, which is probably the largest studio in the building, with two main stages that can be switched alternately during broadcasts.

The most interesting thing is when you visit the weather forecast live room.

There is a low-cut female host, who is provocatively carrying out the live broadcast of the day's weather forecast. I have to say, I am really talented, in such a low temperature environment, I can still talk about the weather with eloquence, and tell the weather forecast like a funny joke.

Sports Studio...... I renovate it newly and prepare for Olympics this summer.

For many years, NBC was the exclusive broadcaster of the U.S. Olympic program.

The higher you go, the higher the confidentiality.

After the 20th floor, ordinary tourists can't go.

The 23rd floor is the production center of the TV series, and Steve Burke is very interested in this place and wants to focus on it.

Although it was the first time for Don to visit, he knew it very well.

Previously, the person in charge here ...... Now it's his subordinate, Jeff Zucker of the Television and Media Department.

NBC airs a lot of TV shows every year, so TV production is a top priority.

The director of the TV production center is also one of the most powerful executives in the entire NBC group.

Here, around 20,000 applications are received every year!

Almost all TV producers and directors from all over the world come here to apply for projects.

Among the 20,000 projects, NBC will conduct a series of competitions to select about 500 TV project drafts with more development value.

Then, $30,000-50,000 will be provided to the project applicants, and they will be asked to write a detailed script, content plan, storyboard, etc.

If you don't write well, you will be eliminated, and if you write well, you will pass and move on to the next link.

NBC will allocate $300,000-3 million in project funds according to the theme of the project and provide it to the project's application team, so that they can shoot an episode first according to the setting.

See how it works.

If the shooting is good, you can officially set up the project and really shoot the project. If the trial effect is poor, then I'm sorry, and I can only eliminate it.

This is almost a self-made film model adopted by major TV stations such as CBS, ABC, NBC, etc.

It's not efficient, but it's the least risky.

This is the most traditional mode of TV drama production.

Of course, the main target audience is mostly newcomers and lesser-known project teams.

If it is J· A well-known TV producer like J. Abrams is probably going crazy.

"Donne, this year's Universal Television Group ...... Are you going to start ramping up the production of TV series?" Steve Burke visited with his hands behind his back, listening to the careful introduction of the NBC staff with an indifferent expression.

NBC's homemade TV show has received extremely poor ratings over the past few years. Except for "Friends" and "Seinfeld", there are almost no programs that can catch the eye.

Steve Burke was very ambitious, and after he left Disney, he set out to build an entertainment empire comparable to Disney, and NBC was one of his goals.

Producing high-quality TV shows that can be popular is the best way for NBC to self-supply blood.

If you want to change, it must be a change in the production model.

He is to choose the best.

Don let out a faint "um".

"Is this the same pattern for your project selection?" asked Steve Burke curiously.

Tang En smiled and said: "How is it possible? The TV series we are promoting are all planned by me personally, and they are directly launched, how can there be so many complicated procedures?"

Steve Burke rolled his eyes and almost fainted.

One person can cover more than a dozen TV shows that Universal TV has to produce in a year, including reality shows and TV series?

It's a bug!

Ella Fisher wore Donn's blazer, and there was a touch of pride and pride on her pretty face.

Such a large TV production center, with hundreds of staff, is there a fart?

It's better than Don alone!

Steve Burke asked reluctantly, "Starz has so many high-quality TV shows and a lot of content from Discovery Channel...... Are you all alone?"

Don shook his head and said, "This is the dragon head effect." I personally planned a few TV shows, set the templates, gave them a good lead, and they naturally understood what to do next. With such a big company, I can't do it all. ”

"The faucet effect?"

Steve Burke was a little bitter.

New Global has you, so with a leader, it can drive the overall value embodiment.

But who does NBC rely on?

There is only one Don Walker in the world!

Ella Fisher pursed her lips and smiled, "Mr. Burke, don't worry. As far as I know, NBC and New Universal have reached a cooperation agreement for two TV series, as well as two reality shows "Globe Top Model Competition" and "Bachelor", which have been renewed, and NBC already has four excellent TV shows!"

Don laughed, patted Steve Burke on the shoulder, and said, "That's the truth! New Universal is the leader, and four TV shows are enough to drive the NBC revival!"

NBC's reception staff looked at Donn and Steve Burke like fools.

These two people have lost their minds, right?

With four TV shows, New Globe can lead NBC as a leader?

That's not how bragging, right?

Steve Burke is even more exaggerated.

The current NBC is still an asset of General Electric, and it has nothing to do with Comcast!

What is your attitude?

It's as if you've already made up your mind.

It's completely NBC its own turf.

How can one be more arrogant than the other?

Is this what the big guys do? (https:)
