"If I'm not mistaken, he means that the show has been vetoed internally by the ABC?" Watching Bruce turn away until his back disappeared in the doorway, Mr. Brown turned his head and said to Richard, "Is that really what ABC thinks?" Are you all stupid? Can't see that this is a good TV series? ”

"We're just having an internal discussion, and we haven't decided on it yet......"

If it is said that the TV series is unsuccessful, then Richard will not hesitate to say that the TV series has been vetoed, and ABC only produces high-quality products, not bad things. However, now that the TV series is so successful, he doesn't dare to say big things anymore, so he can only use ambiguous words to stabilize advertisers.

"This kind of drama still needs to be discussed? No wonder you can't beat NBC. Richard's words were immediately interrupted by Brown.

"We want to be more responsible for our customers......"

"If you want to be responsible for customers, you have to come up with good things first, and you are qualified to make me your customer, if you can't take out good things, what do I need you to be responsible for? Is the premiere right of the TV series still in the hands of ABC? Brown didn't wait for Richard to finish, he directly interrupted him, he was not afraid of offending ABC, and directly asked the most crucial question. Richard was stunned for a moment, and he was a little difficult to accept Brown's blunt approach.

However, even if he can't accept it, he has to learn to accept it. In front of producers, ABC is an incomparable giant that no one dares to offend, but in front of advertisers, ABC can only please each other.

Whoever pays for it is the uncle, and if the advertiser has money, it is the uncle.

Moreover, he also understands what these people think - after all, it is not once or twice that TV networks take the opportunity to raise prices when they see that TV dramas are good. This is business, and no one can be kind.

"It should still be in your hands, you are willing to broadcast it, and it is good to watch TV series, you don't want to lose money, you want to find someone to take over, right? The big interests are invisible, but the small profits are not let go...... That's fine, tell me about the production company, I can help find a buyer for ABC for such a TV series. Mr. Brown muttered to himself again.

"No, no!" Richard was also anxious when he heard this, and determined what he made money, how could he give it to others, "ABC is the owner of the premiere rights." ”

"Who the hell denies it? David Westin? He's not a fool, how could he make such a mistake? Mr. Brown continued.

"It's Mr. Eisner."

"Eisner ......," Mr. Brown laughed, "it wouldn't be strange, but there's nothing more to say, and if he denies it, he'll certainly not allow the show to be re-released." Tell me the contact information of the production company and stop talking nonsense. ”

"Mr. Brown, the producer of this TV series, Mystery Company, is a friend of the company's top management, and no matter who holds the premiere rights, ABC Company is the first choice when this TV series is broadcast." Richard knows that he can't handle this matter well, that is, he can't get along with the company's money, and the company can't get along with himself if he doesn't have money, "ABC is a big company, and we have a lot of great producers who have close relationships, and their works, just like our works, we want to get the premiere rights, and we can get them at any time." You don't have to worry about anything at all. Moreover, this TV series is not our best TV series, we have many other TV series, you can browse and visit, maybe you can see TV programs that are more suitable for your company's investment, so as to ensure that your company's advertising dollars will not be wasted......"

"ABC's other TV shows, it doesn't make much sense to watch them or not. Your TV shows are too bland, those TV shows are for children, and men don't watch that kind of TV series - is your boss sick, why do you have to do something young? Doesn't he know who has the purchasing power? Brown shook his head and rejected his claims.

The all-age model has to be considered to sell to all age groups. However, works that are suitable for all ages, in a sense, are also considering the lower limit, considering the bottom line that children and housewives can accept. Housewives and children, their tastes are too different from those of men in their 40s.

"I still like this one. Tell your boss that they need to come up with a solution. I'm not in the habit of waiting for someone, especially when I'm ready to spend money. ”

Richard nodded submissively, he had no resistance to coercion and temptation: he was here, and if he said the wrong word, he would lose his job.

Perhaps, I have to suggest the company and think about it again, whether to leave this TV series? It is said that the earliest time this TV series was obtained through the relationship between the company's top management, is it possible to keep it?

It had to be suggested: Brown was just talking, but the others, after hearing that the show had been rejected internally, had already called -- Richard didn't think they were calling his wife at home and telling her that he had seen a good TV series. I'm afraid that the news that a high-quality TV series has been vetoed internally by ABC will already be known by NBC, CBS, and FOX people in less than an hour. In order to pay less for advertising and introduce good TV series to TV stations, these advertisers are not impossible.

Allowing such a TV series to slip away is definitely a big loss for the company. Doing your best to stay in the TV series is a must - you have to contribute to the company.

"This TV series, and two other episodes have also come to our hands. If you're interested, how about we keep watching? ”

－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－

"Mr. Eisner, have you gotten the news from the screening?" Just as Richard was stabilizing everyone at the screening, inside ABC, David Westin, the president of ABC, was also making a final effort in front of Eisner.

As soon as he got the news of the screening, he asked to see Eisner. Although he is the president of ABC, as a subordinate of Disney, he does not dare to go against Eisner's resolution and make a direct decision, and he still has to ask Eisner about this question. He knows that Michael Eisner, who has always been called a Disney tyrant, doesn't like his subordinates to act arbitrarily, "Of all the new dramas we've produced this year, CSI is the one that has received the most responses. Other TV series are basically not qualified to challenge NBC, and only this one is somewhat likely to ......"

"I remember this TV series, which has been vetoed by me, don't talk about it anymore." Eisner looked up slightly, glanced at the report, and then looked back again.

"But its response is really good, better than other TV series."

"That's because the other TV series you made are not good, this drama is just not good." Eisner said without looking up.

"No, the TV series has already been produced, and the response has been great."

"I've seen a lot of predictions when they're wrong." Eisner looked up, his tone a little tough.

"But advertisers are willing to pay money, it doesn't matter if the prediction is wrong, it's important to make money, this is a TV series that can really make money, and you can make a lot of money." David Westin suspected that Eisner might not have been quite clear, "We don't have to get along with money. ”

"If you deny this TV series, you can't get along with money...... You're right. Eisner nodded, but immediately, his tone became much more stern, "But you don't care, using this TV series, you just can't get along with me?" ”

Westin suddenly understood something: this TV series was denied by Eisner himself, and he said that he was good, Eisner must be unhappy, and he repeatedly said that the TV series was good, which was basically saying that Eisner's concept was wrong - Eisner had just emphasized Disney's concept, and he said that TV series that did not adhere to this concept would have better ratings, which was undoubtedly a slap in Eisner's face.

"Sir, I didn't mean to disrespect you......"

"To question my decision is to disrespect me! You bring something I denied to me and say it's good repeatedly, do you respect me? Eisner's voice was high-pitched, "Why did I take out the things I denied again?" I said no, do you need to think about it again? Just for the money? How much money can a TV series make? 100 million? Two hundred million? With such a small amount of money, can you go against my ideals? ”

Money, money, money, these guys, do you think it's such a small amount of money? For this little money, can you come and fight me? What is money? What Disney has is money! Is it necessary for me to go against my own philosophy and slap myself in the face for some money?

"I just think that no matter what the order is, it should be linked to making money. What we need is the idea of making money, and what is the use of the idea of not making money? Westin retorted dissatisfied: he was the president of ABC, and it was impossible for him not to consider ABC's interests.

"You don't have to care if it's useful or not, just remember that this is my philosophy. Remember, this is Michael Eisner's philosophy, it's your boss's philosophy, and that's enough! Michael Eisner's philosophy is not to be questioned! Eisner yelled him back again, "Why didn't that receptionist named Richard directly tell the advertiser about our attitude?" Such self-assertive employees can be dismissed. Can a TV series make you disobey me so much? Remember, I'm Michael Eisner, and not anyone can disobey me. Want to be Pixar and work against me? Pixar isn't that easy to do! ”

Eisner's face was flushed with extreme excitement. Westin suddenly understood something: the production of Pixar's 3D animation was undoubtedly a heavy slap in the face, slapping Eisner who insisted on 2D and insisted on the classic, they had destroyed Eisner's self-confidence, and now Eisner's face was already swollen and couldn't withstand another slap.

CSI's success, which hit him in the face again after Pixar, him off.

Is it because of failure that this person becomes stubborn, or because of self-righteousness, this person will fail? At this point, Westin was a little unclear.

"There's no need to fire Richard, he's also for the good of the company."

"He's questioning me, questioning my employees, is it necessary to stay?"

That's because your approach is questionable...... Westin was speechless: he had a vague feeling that maybe it was another Disney and Pixar story. Got rid of the mystery company, and ABC will regret it one day.
