Chapter 46 Full Coverage
"Of course, we'll be promoting the return of 'Lost' from June in the summer, including TV commercials, physical newspapers, gossip magazines, and so on. Old man Charles nodded.
"Lost", which was urgently removed from the shelves last year because of 911, will finally return to Fire Lion TV in October this year after a year of waiting.
As the highest-cost sci-fi American drama in history the year before last, "Lost" has always had a high reputation and popularity among sci-fi fans, and the ratings are even more top-notch American dramas comparable to "Desperate Housewives" and "24 Hours".
At the same time, "24 Hours" will also return on time in September with the power of the Golden Globe and Emmy Awards. At the same time, sequels will be released for series such as "Doctor House" and "Bone Trace", as well as "Fairy Tale Town" and "Mom and Dad Romance".
In addition, the new comedy "Ugly Betty" is also in production, although the number of new episodes has not been expanded in one go, but the old drama is added to the new series, and Fire Lion TV will also have a full nine dramas this year.
And all of them are top American dramas that lead the coquettishness for a while.
In addition to these, "American Idol", "Dancing with the Stars", which entered the third season, and "Survivor", which doubled a year, have already become the treasures of the Fire Lion Town. The twin blind date shows "The Bachelor" and "The Bachelorette" both entered the third and second seasons.
The "old-fashioned" indoor reality show "Big Brother" is also in its fourth year, and "Miami Housewives", produced by Britney's parents and reflecting the lives of upper-class housewives, will also premiere in the summer.
This makes the number of reality shows not as good as the American drama department, but it is indeed a well-deserved mainstay of Fire Lion TV and even the entire Fire Lion Group.
Low investment, fast time, high returns, the reality show opened up from "Survivor" has profoundly affected the entire North American TV circle step by step, and the four major TV networks that were left behind by Fire Lion TV have also begun to develop their own reality shows, in order to compete with Fire Lion.
The ABC television network has introduced a family reality show called "Wife Exchange" from the planning book of the British channel 4 television station.
Full of the name and content of the marginal ball, this show has attracted a lot of attention from the beginning of its planning, and "American Weekly" even opened a column to introduce it at length.
Although NBC still holds popular ace comedies such as "Friends" and "Will and Grace", "Friends", which is about to enter its ninth year this year, is not the first time that rumors of the end of the show have been rumored, and the sky-high salary of $1 million per episode for each of the six leading actors has repeatedly refreshed the salary ceiling in the North American TV circle.
As for the Fox television network, although there are still the long-lasting "The Simpsons" and "The Orange County Boys", the twists and turns after the change of the protagonist of "The X-Files" seem to cast a dark cloud over them.
Although in terms of reality shows, the Fox TV network has not made a good breakthrough, but they still have a large number of middle-level dramas in American dramas, which is enough to ensure the normal operation of the TV network.

Shirley Sandberg looked at the contract in front of her as usual, and then she signed her name on it, and she immediately looked at the negotiation partner opposite, who was also bowing his head and signing.
After the two sides signed, they transferred the contract again and signed their names on each other's copy, and then they stood up and said with a smile: "Then, happy cooperation!"
"It was a pleasure to work with, Ms. Sandberg. AOL Time Warner's head of networking said with a smile.
After more than a year of lengthy negotiations, Shirley's negotiations on the cooperation between Google and AOL Time Warner on the search engine were finally settled.
AOL will agree to use the embedded Google search engine to provide search services on its own portal. This also allows AOL to surpass Yahoo as Google's largest user, and it is foreseeable that with the cooperation with the two largest Google portals today, Google's revenue will steadily increase.
Although Google has not yet reached the level of a giant in the future, as a professional company in search engines, after several years of careful management, it has become a unique expert in search engine technology in Silicon Valley.
Coupled with Google's long-standing "harmlessness", other large companies and portals have easily outsourced their own search operations.
What Google has gained in this process is not only the expansion of its search business and the growth of profits, but also the cooperation with these full-fledged Silicon Valley predators, which can maximize the access to the search data of rapidly growing Internet users.
Although the concept of data is king has not yet been formed in Silicon Valley, how can Google and Sid, who are "prescient", miss such a good opportunity?
This cooperation with AOL Time Warner not only "eased" the relationship between Sid and AOL Time Warner in disguise, but also allowed Google to achieve full coverage of the portal.
You must know that it is not only North American users who use Yahoo, MSN and AOL, but also overseas users such as Europe and Pacific Rim, and with this massive amount of data, it has laid a solid foundation for Google's next move.
Of course, after the contract is signed, there will be a celebratory party.
Although Google, a Silicon Valley company, is not good at hosting entertainment parties, with Shirley, the vice president of sales temporarily seconded from Fire Lion, it is not difficult to organize a decent celebration party.
After AOL acquired Time Warner, it was also contaminated with the "luxury" style of many Hollywood colleagues, and this celebration party at the Four Seasons Hotel in San Francisco finally had such a lively appearance.
"Well, we're almost ready to get started. Sid said lightly that it was none other than Google co-founders Larry Page and Sergey Brin.
Not far away, Google's CEO Schmidt was entertaining guests, and the employees and executives of AOL's Time Warner Networks division, or the former AOL, were shuttling through the party.
"Hehe, I've been working on Pyra labs for a long time. Larry Page chuckled, and Sergei's eyes shone brightly.
Pyra Labs is the company that provides blogger services, and it played an important role in Sid's original plan to "steal the day".
Historically, Google's acquisition of Blog was too late, when the social networks MySpace and Facebook were not coming out much, and Blog was already old, which made Blog not play its due advertising link effect and online advertising revenue.
