Chapter 515, the wind-up TV station and the visitor from the sky

Once a career reaches its peak, it will never stop like a winding motor, and the television network industry is the most typical example. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 As long as the program cannot be provided on time within the cycle time, the paying audience will easily choose other businesses, and the user churn is terrible. If any news network group wants to be able to provide programs 24X7, it must be supported by an extremely large outreach team.

DreamWorks is located on the upper floors of the Alice Tower, with an entire floor dedicated to its offices. Today and Sunday are as busy as ever, and when I heard the shouting at the front desk, the person in charge, Hauske, hurriedly came forward.

"Miss Alice, Miss Sophie, welcome to you. ”

He wiped the sweat from his forehead and said, "It's a big day, oh, I mean, a lot of people have come together." Advertisers, TV series contracts, Japanese in Warner and Columbia, former CBS newscaster looking for a job, oh my goodness, forgive me for my incoherent speech......"

"All right, Hauske, I'm sure this place will be able to turn around even if it leaves you for a while. Sophie's gentle words calmed him down, and Alice strode straight into the office. Today is indeed very lively, if you are not careful, you can be bumped into by the little clerk holding the manuscript, and you can still hear the sound of yelling in the office not far away, it seems that the screenwriter is not satisfied with his remuneration?

"Looks like we're doing a good job of publicity. Alice laughed: "Hollywood DreamWorks' Dream TV station is officially established, which can make these guys very excited. ”

This is the case in large companies with fastidious hires and clear rules and regulations, and elite companies that will succeed them, while small companies are full of energy and potential, attracting countless opportunists. Compared with the scale of film companies, DreamWorks is certainly not as good as the old qualifications of Universal and MGM, and the newly established TV network has not yet officially opened, and of course cannot compete with CBS, ABC and other radio stations. But it is also the case that those practitioners in related fields at the middle and lower levels of the industry will not come forward one after another?

"Sir, please give me another chance!" Like here, a typical TV screenwriter was kicked out of the house, and Alice reached out and grabbed a passing employee and said, "What is the situation?

"The submission was rejected, and I want to go directly to the door, please get out of the way. The employee gave a brief answer, and immediately ran away with a stack of papers.

"Alice, let's go. In a few moments, Sophie and Director Hausk followed, and the three of them walked through the busy public office area and walked into the target office together.

"It's hilarious!"

As soon as the door was closed, Alice smiled and said, "I really haven't had much contact with news media companies before, Hauske, you are a professional, is everyone like this?"

Nowell Hauske, a veteran of the TV industry for 12 years, took the lead when Alice bought the small TV network during the '87 crash. After two years of "waiting", when this small TV network, which had only a million market value of pink stocks at the trough, was finally classified as Hollywood DreamWorks by a paper order, he Hausk finally rose to prominence.

"It depends. He said modestly, behind his desk was an unobstructed panoramic view of Los Angeles from a height of 100 meters, such a view from the floor-to-ceiling windows, but he tried his best to keep it.

"Journalists, theoretically, are indeed 24X7, as long as something new happens, we will report back to Taiwan as soon as possible, especially those in the financial field, directly on duty. But in most companies, it is just for journalists to find news on their own and give some results on a regular basis. ”

A brief understanding of Alice is not here to listen to business experience. She only came back from New York three or two days ago, and she couldn't finish all kinds of more important things, so she really took time out to take a look at the TV station. Naturally, Lawrence and this Hausk are handled separately in the day-to-day operation, and all she needs is a report summary.

"The preparation for this time...... Direct television stations were built in Los Angeles, Seattle, Chicago and New York. So after the official broadcast, we can basically guarantee that the whole American people can receive the program, of course, Alaska and Hawaii are still not good. ”

On the map, the broadcast range of each directly affiliated TV station is drawn, and there are also a large number of subordinate TV stations that have signed contracts with the company. Due to the pitiful short development time after all, and Alice has not continued to invest large sums of money, it is not the turn of DreamWorks to broadcast live satellite at the same time, otherwise it is really like Hausk said, Alaska and Hawaii can also receive the program.

"Prepare a detailed quotation for AT&T and send it to my office in a moment. Alice said, "How's the show?"

Hausk then reported. First of all, in terms of TV shows, of course, Alice took the time to write the script of "The X-Files", and it was the final run-in period for the crew, which was the business of DreamWorks headquarters. In addition, since Dream TV settled in Alice Building, as she saw when she first came in, a large number of screenwriters are holding their works to go forward and succeed, and the accumulation of foundation is obviously not a problem.

"In terms of advertising, Microsoft, Cisco, Oscar & Hannah all sent several copies of the finished product. It wasn't just Hausk who was laughing when he said that. "So I have an idea, Miss Alice. ”

"Please. ”

"For example, let the TV station set up an investigation team, visit and investigate the internal floors of our Alice Building, and shoot a series of various promotional videos for each company's products or certain brand promotion matters?

Alice agreed without thinking. How important publicity is to the development of an enterprise, how many business people have been setting an example for many years, and she has her own experience. Wouldn't all those Internet companies in the 21 st century throw large sums of money into the bidding rankings of search engines? With Dream TV as the axis, it was one of the big plans to comprehensively promote her entire career.

"Assemble your team, but be careful, don't be too clear about the presence of the group company, and the advertisements are different. Alice meant that if she had added a hexagonal logo of an umbrella to the end of every advertisement, she would have to run to the toilet and cry, wouldn't that be a clear announcement to the world about the establishment of a super-large monopoly consortium?

Although this logo is not only in the Roswell Building, it has also been printed on the stone monument at the entrance to the Alice Building.

Commercials, then the preparation of TV series such as "The X-Files", and of course the live broadcast of sports events and news, the current job of the TV station is to finalize the content of the program. Originally a small company that was just a small company, after Alice threw in hundreds of millions of dollars, it has sprung up four directly affiliated TV stations across the country, and after two years of slow development, it has been able to improve its hardware facilities.

Although the market size is certainly not as big as CBS and ABC's old credentials, Alice has no shortage of time in this regard.

At lunchtime, the mother and daughter shared a plate of Chinese food in the staff cafeteria, and the floor-to-ceiling windows were as usual with an unobstructed view of the city.

Sophie swallowed a mouthful of rice and said, "If the ratings are good, how many seasons of "The X-Files" are you going to make?"

"If this drama is really completely launched, it will not be a problem to shoot at least seven or eight seasons. Alice smiled and said: "It's just two or three things about the government and aliens, from the perspective of the detectives, a wave of aliens can completely make up a large conspiracy network that spans many years of history." And then, woo...... It's just a matter of accumulating in turn, and then adding a few kinds of aliens is a matter of how many nets are made, we just need to do a good job of connecting the nets with the nets. ”

It's definitely easier said than done, but Sophie fully believes in her daughter's strength, but she didn't forget to remind: "You must not let the plot go into clichΓ©s, such as the villain dead and alive, alive and dead and alive, if I look back and really see this kind of bloody scene on TV, you see how I clean you up when I turn around!"

Alice giggled, and it just so happened that at this juncture, the big brick mobile phone she kept in her hand rang, and when she took it out, she saw that it was actually the front desk dialing to the top floor and then relaying it to her mobile phone.

"Ah......h Is it Anna?"

Anna's timid voice did ring on the other side of the phone: "Hello, Miss Wang, there is an unbooked guest who wants to see you. ”

Calling herself so formally, and being an unreserved guest, Alice's interest was piqued: "Did you tell your name?"

Sophie sat quietly across from her daughter, looking at her with a look of astonishment.

"Anna...... Are you sure?"

After a moment, she said quickly: "Please wait a moment for this gentleman, no, just come up, I'll see him in the office." ”

Seeing her daughter quickly hang up the phone, Sophie was curious: "Who suddenly visited?"

"One...... How to put it, very powerful officials. Alice solved the leftovers in the bowl at an incredible speed, and quickly wiped her mouth and said: "You don't have to follow first, I'm afraid he won't be able to let go of it with you, anyway, Mom, let's see you later." ”

After saying that, before Sophie could ask more, Alice rushed out of the restaurant in a hurry.

Came straight to the door?

Hearing the other party's name, Alice's first feeling was shock, although Anna reported the person's current identity, but Alice didn't think that the other party's business on the face could have anything to do with her.

But then there was a mood of ecstasy.
