Chapter 446: It's in the headlines
readx;
In the United States, the programs that can now exceed 10 million users are not at all, but they are relatively rare. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. biquge。 infoAfter all, even in the United States these days, although TV sets have also been popularized, but the popularity of TV sets does not mean that this thing is the price of cabbage. The price of any electronic product will not be low without too much competitive pressure.
And now in the United States, the majority of the TV industry is still a Japanese product. Japanese products are much cheaper than those made in the United States. But the Japanese TV is not a cabbage, and the real cabbage TV will only appear when it is made in China. Of course, if there is a Chinese manufacturing in any industry, it is basically cabbage, including steel as a raw material for heavy industry.
Under such circumstances, although television is popular, it is far from reaching the point where there is one per person, so in terms of total amount, even though the United States has a population of more than 200 million, the number of television sets is actually only a little more than 100 million, less than 130 million.
And so many TV sets, if the ratings of a certain TV station can exceed 10 million, it is equivalent to that he already has almost one-tenth of the national ratings, don't underestimate this tenth, compared to the domineering CCTV, whenever it reaches seven o'clock, it is all broadcast Celestial Empire news, in this place in the United States, you don't pay attention to this thing, no TV station, has never been so domineering. Therefore, being able to exceed 10 million viewers in the United States is basically equivalent to this TV program in the United States, which has a wide population base.
As long as the ratings of one episode of the program reach the 10 million level, then even if the show has stepped into the threshold of this 10 million club, even if other episodes of this program cannot reach such a height, the ratings will still not be low, the 10 million level is a threshold, and if it is crossed, even if it is shit, it can be sold at a sky-high price, and it can be said to be a big hit, and anyone who is related to this TV show can rise to the top. As for the average rating reaching the 10 million level, hehe, such a TV show has only one title, that is, legendary, which is completely phenomenal, and it is basically unattainable.
As for making the millionaire show a legend in the United States, even Li Mingbao never thought about it, after all, people who have such thoughts are either crazy or not sober, even if Li Mingbao has so much information, he doesn't think that the millionaire he made can become a legend. Maybe several other more interactive programs have this innate condition, but in the millionaire program, Li Mingbao feels that it lacks a necessary foundation.
Of course, even if it lacks a little necessary foundation, the excellence of the millionaire show itself can make DreamWorks TV production company make a lot of money, and this large amount of money will not even be much worse than making a blockbuster movie, it should be said that a TV show that really makes money will be more profitable than a movie. Even if he sells the series of movies "Home Alone", his total income is more than 300 million at one time, and of course, plus other income, there is a total net profit of nearly 500 million US dollars.
But if a program like Millionaire is done well, his income will not be less than 500 million US dollars every year, plus overseas copyright fees, his annual income on this show should not be less than 1 billion US dollars. Even the program group in history can make so much money every year on this, this is still only referring to the North American market, why can't Li Mingbao make more money?
And just when Li Mingbao and John were planning to do their own things, the millionaire show also came to the end of the show, and Louis, who was still strong on stage, not only convinced countless viewers in front of the TV at this time, but also convinced the female host of the show.
Since the broadcast time of this show is only one hour, the previous contestants have already spent a lot of time, plus the advertisements in the middle of the show, so when it comes to Louis, an hour is obviously not enough. When Louis answered the ninth question, the content of the first episode of the millionaire show was finished, and as for the challenge after Louis, it will not continue to be broadcast until the next episode.
Regarding this, all the people who watched this show were very angry, and they wanted to see if Louis could succeed in the level, but this show was shamefully finished at the time of **. This is equivalent to getting stuck at the apex when doing exercise in bed, can't go up, can't go down, and is also equivalent to a serialized novel.
is completely a bad taste, and this kind of bad taste, Li Mingbao also learned from those popular TV series in later generations. Doing so will make a lot of people who pay attention to the show, in the next episode, have to stand first, see the latest picture of the show, and then use it to maintain ratings, originally using such a means, for the vast majority of current TV shows, it is an ordinary thing, Li Mingbao naturally has to be good, anyway, there is no loss to him by doing so, and the audience's resentment will dissipate directly when the next episode is broadcast, so in doing so, Li Mingbao is not afraid of offending the audience, no matter how much they scold, Anyway, in the end, I will still watch my own program, and it can also improve the broader discussion voice of the program, which is a good thing for TV programs.
So Li Mingbao shamefully gave the millionaire a break in context, anyway, such a show is not an ordinary variety show, every episode has something to focus on in each episode, and the most important core point of such a show is not here, so even if it is out of context, Li Mingbao feels that it doesn't matter.
And within an hour after the show ended, the personnel on Nielsen's side put the latest statistical list of this episode of the show in front of Li Mingbao and John.
Seeing this form, whether it is Li Mingbao or John, they are all smiling very happily, and it is not okay if they are not happy, because this form accurately indicates what the highest ratings of the millionaire program are, which not only makes Li Mingbao their previous extravagant hopes come true, but also makes them all understand one thing, tomorrow's related newspaper headlines, they QBYTV TV, have been booked in advance.
"Hahaha, the highest ratings of the millionaire program have reached 10 million and 580 million viewers, and even the average ratings have reached 8.27 million viewers, if it weren't for the low ratings at the beginning, then the average ratings of this episode of our millionaire program can reach 9 million to close to 10 million viewers. This show was a complete hit, and we really succeeded. Tomorrow's headlines are our company's. John said incoherently.
Although he was very optimistic about Li Mingbao's program idea before, and even deepened the cooperation with Li Mingbao on this program, even some of the benefits that should have been fought for by the Twentieth Century Fox Company were generously handed over to Li Mingbao.
Making such a decision was also very stressful for John. After all, the board of directors of Twentieth Century Fox is not up to him alone, there are other shareholders, and other shareholders may not have the confidence of John, and the treatment that John gets on their side is really not good.
But once the show aired, John was able to speak with the facts, and the 10 million ratings at the top were enough to make any director within Twentieth Century Fox shut his mouth and cheer John's victory. This victory, which cannot even be said to be a simple victory, is a big victory, a complete victory, a victory that neither those opponents nor supporters like Li Mingbao have ever thought of.
10 million viewers, even for the largest TV station of Twentieth Century Fox, can have a celebratory feast, let alone just a regional TV station covering the West Coast, no matter how happy you are, it will not be too much.
As long as he can continue to cooperate with Li Mingbao, within Twentieth Century Fox, anyone who wants to oppose him must weigh whether it is appropriate, because such cooperation results are too amazing.
John is happy, Li Mingbao will not be cold-faced, the millionaire can achieve such good results, for Li Mingbao, it is definitely a surprise. Compared with his original goal, now cooperating with Twentieth Century Fox is definitely beyond his imagination, and since he has such rich resources in the TV industry, his speed of gold mining will be faster than he imagined before.
If he can join News Corp in the future, Li Mingbao's influence may not only be in East Asia and some parts of Hollywood, but can be broadened to the entire world through the channel of News Corp., and in that case, Li Mingbao's position in reality will be more stable, and he will be treated many times higher than now when he goes to any country. You must know that if a person like Murdoch visits China officially, his treatment can basically be compared to that of the head of a small country.
After a night of joy after Lee and John relieved themselves of all their duties, the next day many American newspapers, especially those in the entertainment section, had front-page headlines about the new millionaire show on QBYTV, which reached 10 million viewers. Even the Los Angeles Morning Post drew a cartoon of a wolf, and then used this wolf to predict what Li Mingbao's achievements in the TV industry mean to other peers.
