As soon as he got up in the morning, Li Xiaole leaned comfortably on the pillow, looked out the window, and began to wonder about the future situation of the pirate platform in his mind. ”

Now that "The Walking Dead" has just aired an episode, the three major TV networks are still only using Pirate TV as a strategic pawn, and do not regard Pirate TV as a competitor, so the three parties are still trying their best to win Pirate TV to join their camp and use it to restrain the other two, but once "The Walking Dead" continues to rise, its influence reaches a certain level, and it shows the potential to compete with them, the situation will completely change.

At present, the wireless TV field in North America is controlled by the five major television networks, CBS (CBS), NBC, ABC, Fox (FOX), and the five major television networks of Columbia Warner Television Network (WB), which themselves are another carrier of the six major Hollywood companies. That's why the five major TV networks have grown to this point.

This is not simply because the companies that compete with them are not strong, but mainly because these five media outlets have strong legal, public relations, media mobilization agencies and so on.

In the brutal competition of the market, even if the competitors have the upper hand for a while, the five major TV networks will use all kinds of unexpected means to suppress their opponents, and the new companies often cannot withstand their attacks from other sides, and the result is only to give in to them and fall under the banner of one party.

Later, powerful media groups saw this situation clearly and knew that if they wanted to succeed, they had to avoid the hegemonic field of TVB and focus on the field of cable TV stations.

And Li Xiaole's initial motivation for acquiring the TV station was to establish his own media channels, so he acquired Pirate Station, a wireless TV station under Sony Columbia, but if Pirate TV shows the strength that can really threaten Sony, then he can fully predict what kind of public opinion he will encounter.

Of course Li Xiaole wants to fight back? But how to deal with his current weak strength in the United States? Relying on the iPhone alone is not yet mature mobile Internet and online media? No matter how naïve Li Xiaole is, he doesn't think that he just relies on the Internet to fight against the mainstream traditional media.

It is obviously unrealistic to confront the other party head-on, it is undoubtedly to hit the stone with an egg, Li Xiaole knows very well that he can only come to the yin, set a trap and let the other party jump in...... Then deliver the fatal blow.

Now think about it, Sony, Fox, what are they most likely to use to hit themselves?

The so-called persecution of public opinion is nothing more than two routines, the first of which is the most common, which is to smear and sing down through film critics and related media, and carry out all kinds of ridicule and sarcasm on "The Walking Dead", the purpose is to let audiences who don't know themselves and have not watched "The Walking Dead" establish a first impression: "Li Xiaole is a crappy director, and "The Walking Dead" is simply a terrible filming. ”

Especially if he has a scandal in an emotional or personal matter, then the other party will exaggerate it even more, and Paramount's previous smear of Tom Cruise is a trick.

Thinking of this, Li Xiaole hurriedly sorted out his experience in South Korea, China, and the United States in his mind, and he was pleasantly surprised...... I am usually upright, and I haven't done anything ugly that is worth exaggerating......

In addition, I am originally a Chinese, and my cultural foundation is different from that of the United States, so it may not be easy to make ordinary people disgusted with me with private behavior, after all, we are from a backward "barbaric authoritarian country", and the American people do not have much expectation of themselves...... There is no such great contrast from the national idol to the religious perversion of Tom Cruise.

In this way, it seems that the first routine is not very lethal, so it depends on the second trick......

In comparison, the second routine is even more vicious, to put it bluntly, it is to use legal proceedings against the target organization and the target person, and use the judicial liliang to completely destroy competitors, which is extremely good at giant companies in various fields in the United States, the most famous example of which is "Michael Jackson's fictional scandal".

At that time, the king of pop was suddenly accused of sexual assault by a 12-year-old boy since he tried to buy Sony, although after Michael Jackson's death, the boy's family came out to clarify that it was false and daoqian, but at that time, Michael Jackson's image was a devastating blow, and his career fell into a trough.

There are also such as illegitimate children, rape cases, drug abuse, infringement, and all other things involving legal issues, as long as the competitor has been suspected, it will suddenly be turned over, and many celebrities and competing companies themselves don't know about Chen Sesame and Rotten Grain, and they are suddenly accused......

Would an ordinary person have the ability to sue a celebrity or media organization? This is almost impossible in the United States, because as long as there is a trouble, celebrities and institutions will immediately use various means to settle out of court, and there will be no waves at all.

And behind the trouble that can be caused by these things, most of them are manipulated by media groups to attack competitors.

This kind of vicious routine is absolutely devastating to anyone's reputation, because just like Michael Jackson was accused of sexually assaulting minors, although this thing does not exist at all, but as long as it makes a fuss, the media giants instigate and instill the dark side of the parties to the public, even if the lawsuit is finally won, the image of the parties will be ruined, so no matter what the outcome of the lawsuit is, the parties will lose from the beginning, which can be said to be unpreventable.

Li Xiaole thought of this, almost completely sure that Sony and Fox would definitely use this trick against him, if it were an ordinary person, I am afraid that at this time they would feel desperate to raise their hands and surrender, but Li Xiaole is not a fuel-efficient lamp, he himself has cheated countless people, he is very familiar with these tricks, public opinion framed, he is very familiar with this trick, and the domestic media use it much more than these capitalists in the United States.

There are many ways to deal with this kind of deliberate framing of public opinion, the most important thing is to grasp the pulse, first know what legal disputes you have that are worthy of attack by the other party?

Li Xiaole only needs to think about the lawsuits encountered by "The Walking Dead" and "Plants vs. Zombies" in the future to figure it out, usually after a person succeeds, there are always some people around him who want to get a piece of the pie, of course, without the support of Shili behind it, it will generally only be lace news.

"Plants vs. Zombies" has not been prosecuted, but since it is a game made by the original Pop Games, there should already be a prototype of this game...... Li Xiaole checked on the Internet and sure enough, there is a game of "Seeds" that is somewhat similar to "Plants vs. Zombies".

"The Walking Dead" has a well-known copyright dispute, after the series was a big hit, the original author Robert Kirkman received millions of royalties, and was soon sued by his former colleague in "Image" Tony Morro, demanding a share of the copyright fees, because Tony Moro was involved in the production of the first two episodes of "The Walking Dead" comics...... Of course, this matter was proved by the court that Tony Moro was not qualified to be the author of "The Walking Dead" at all, let alone copyright.

Li Xiaole pondered and recalled in bed for a long time, and finally determined these two facts, since he knew these two fates, he could spend a little money to get these two things in advance, but if he really did this, Sony, Fox would find more things, he would still be passive, rather than this, it is better to set a trap......

After constructing the details of Jihua in his mind, Li Xiaole immediately called Lei Ting.

"Sister Tingting, you now put down everything and help me monitor the information of these people, the first is Sony, the legal department of Fox Corporation, followed by Baokai Game Production Company, and Tony Morro, the former cartoonist of "Image", if there is any connection between them and the content of the transaction, you must get solid evidence."

"What are you going to do? I need to know the specific purpose of their contact so that I can target the investigation. Lei Ting asked coldly on the other end of the phone.

Li Xiaole roughly said his jihua, and Lei Ting was silent for a long time after listening to it, and then said in a somewhat complicated tone:

"Seriously...... I think I'm already very dark in my mind, but sometimes I feel that you look at life more negatively than I do, do you think things are really as bad as you think? ”

"Sister Tingting......" Li Xiaole heard Lei Ting's concern for herself, and couldn't help but warm her heart, but she laughed on her mouth:

"Actually, I've always felt that there are more good people on shijie, but I'm a bad person, I can think of these crooked minds to rectify people, and I can't make sure that others will come to this set, so it's always no harm to prevent it."

"Okay, since you insist, I'll do my best......" After Lei Ting replied simply, she added in a rare cold tone before hanging up the phone: "Remember, this shijie is still very beautiful haode~~~"

Li Xiaole couldn't help but listen to it, touching his head and thinking about how dark he was in Lei Ting's mind.

After Li Xiaole made the arrangements, the time finally came on Monday, just when Sony's CEO of North America, Tatsumasa Kangfu, discussed with his subordinates whether to buy the series at a price of 200,000 more or 500,000 after the ratings of the second episode of "The Walking Dead" declined, and the second viewership of "The Walking Dead" once again caught them off guard. They received a jaw-dropping report, and the second episode of "The Walking Dead" not only did not drop in ratings, but increased the population by 2.5 million to 8.57 million~!! And the proportion of people aged 25-40 is as high as 90......
