Chapter 8 American drama, the big bang of life

As soon as the latest episode of "Jamie Talks about America" was broadcast, it caused an uproar in public opinion and also caused an uproar in the entire press circle.

Link was instantly thrust into the limelight, commented Steven Mofson, a senior editor at The Washington Post, in a recent issue of Yomiuri.

"Link, and his CAA TV, owe the world an explanation......"

And this whirlwind of "asking for A TV station" has also spread to the Internet.

Yahoo News also pointed out in an article that, according to insiders, CAA TV was still a little-known "little person" before the "911 incident", only among Chinese Americans, with a high reputation, and the ratings have been kept below 1 percent, and the highest rating index has never exceeded 0.5 percent.

However, in the "911 incident", CAA TV was the first television media to report on the "911 incident", and the audience soared by 10 million.

At the same time, the joint live broadcast with ABC TV is also the highest-rated news file at present!

Although the article only lists some before and after comparison data, it has to be thought-provoking.

Netizens in major forums also have different views on this matter.

It has been said, "Those who benefit are the initiators." ABC and CAA are the beneficiaries of 911 and must be punished severely. ”

And other netizens commented: "I am God's people, so I would like to believe that Link still has his CAA TV." If there are any beneficiaries of the '911 incident', none of the television stations in the United States have escaped. By the way, I like their streamer Linda. ”

In the next two days, the "911 incident" turmoil not only did not decline, but on the contrary intensified.

The United States has been convinced that it was the leader of al-Qaeda, Ben Ben, who started the "911 incident", and strongly condemns Afghanistan for harboring Ben Chenngfu. And responded with a threatening tone, and the United States would retaliate with a strike.

President George W. Bush also made a televised address in front of the White House, and CAA television received an invitation.

"A terrorist attack can shake the foundations of our largest buildings, but it can't touch the foundations of America," he said. These acts of terror have destroyed steel, but they cannot in any way weaken the steely determination of the United States"

As soon as this television speech was broadcast, Bush Jr.'s poll approval rating reached the peak of his term of office, reaching 89.58 percent.

As for Link, he has been busy participating in interviews with major TV stations and interviews with many media outlets these days.

Not only that, but he has to deal with those reporters who are chasing and intercepting him every day.

"Shouldn't you go and shoot those big stars?"

As soon as Link walked out of the door of CAA TV, he was blocked by a large number of reporters, and he couldn't help but start complaining.

A female reporter with a microphone in her hand said with a smile: "Is there a bigger 'star' than you in the United States now?" ”

Link can only be helpless.

"Oh my boss, I'm so busy, I haven't been home for days, and you look like you have nothing to do."

Jack also complained that his fat body had lost a lot of weight in the past few days.

"If even I have to be as busy as you, then why do I want you to do it?"

Link sat wearily in his office, facing a large pile of papers that he needed to sign. In the past few days, he has not only had to participate in various talk shows, but also had to be asked countless questions by those reporters, and he had to plan for the future of CAA TV, which made him physically and mentally exhausted.

"Jack." Link suddenly said, "Is this year's broadcast season coming?" ”

Jack rubbed his fat face and replied, "Yes boss, the annual broadcast season is scheduled for mid-September, which is these two days. But thanks to **, now that the whole United States is covering 911, who cares about the broadcast season? It is estimated that the American dramas produced by major TV stations have now been postponed. ”

Link nodded silently, he has watched a lot of American dramas and Hong Kong dramas since he was a child, and September every year is the time for new dramas to be released.

However, due to the impact of the "911 incident" this year, almost all major TV stations in the United States did not dare to mention the broadcast season of American dramas.

It's a time of disaster in the United States, and all major TV stations are covering 911, and no TV station dares to stop reporting at this time. Even if everyone is tired of it, as soon as you turn on the TV, every channel is the same picture.

Jack suddenly asked, "My boss, what are you asking about the season?" We are a Chinese TV station, we have never produced or bought an American drama? ”

When Link heard his words, he became angry and yelled, "Jack, is your brain inversely proportional to your weight? ”

"Can CAA continue to be a Chinese TV station now? If we want to continue to be a Chinese TV station, is it necessary for us to work overtime every day? It's better to continue to broadcast the rest of the Hong Kong dramas now, anyway, Uncle Wu in front of the door still cares, Xiaolongnu and Yang Guo. ”

Jack was also taken aback by Link's sudden irritability, and whispered, "That'...... What do you mean, boss......"

Link rubbed his forehead, although the low blood sugar had been reduced a lot, as long as he was impulsive, he still felt dizzy.

None of this is the problem, the problem is that no one can understand his hard work now. He has been participating in interviews and being interviewed non-stop in the past few days, not to make himself famous, but to let CAA enter the public's attention and let everyone know that there is a TV station called CAA in the United States.

In order to develop the TV station left by his father, so that he will not be unable to pay his employees' salaries.

Moreover, he also held back a lot of energy in his heart, he wanted to show old Jim that CAA was still turning around without his shares. And he has to do bigger and stronger, so that old Jim regrets his decision to withdraw his shares, and pays the price for his original behavior.

Although he was distressed, he still said: "Jack, we need an American drama, do you know the American drama? We are no longer a Chinese TV station, we want to be the top TV station in the United States, and we are not inferior to the big TV station of the four major TV networks in the United States! ”

Link said his dream, although the current CAA TV station has a rating base of about three million, but this is not enough, far from enough!

In the days that followed, Link stopped giving any interviews, there was no new development in the coverage of 911, and major television stations were also doing circular reporting and tracking the aftermath of the World Trade Center building.

Link was completely free, and he put Jack in charge of the command on CAA TV.

"Now is the right time!" Link was unusually excited. "Although I have the first picture of 911 in my hands, it doesn't last long. In a few days, people don't care about 911 anymore, and CAA TV is going to face the embarrassing situation of having no audience. ”

Link shouted in his heart: "I don't want to be just a small Chinese TV station, I want to be the largest and most watched TV station in the United States." ”

"As long as I take pictures of what is in my brain, are I afraid that I won't be able to do it?"

Link's eyes are hot, the future is just around the corner!

September 15, 2001.

It's been four days since 911, and Link hasn't decided what kind of American drama he's going to make.

"Prudence, prudence must be prudence." Link went back to the house his father left for him, he didn't sleep all night yesterday, and until now he is thinking about what kind of American drama he is going to make.

"Prison Break? No! Although this American drama is very colorful, it is completely unsuitable for the current American atmosphere. ”

"What about The Walking Dead? It is just right to cater to the current oppressive atmosphere in the United States. Link's brows furrowed, and after thinking for a moment, he shook his head in denial.

Suddenly, Link's eyes lit up, and an American drama popped up in his brain.

"That's right, that's it!"

The Big Bang Theory!
