Chapter 67 Before the TV station cuts the ribbon

Time slowly caused a stir in the shooting, and a month passed quietly without realizing it. No one could catch the quietly passing tail, and Lin Zilong could not, even if he was a time traveler.

During this period, Lin Zilong focused on filming "Prison Break", of course, he would deal with the TV station's affairs from time to time. In this month, the entire TV station was progressing very quickly, and all the staff had arrived. At the same time, due to Lin Zilong and Kirk Kerkorien, many talents who were originally affiliated with MGM were poached. Anyway, MGM has now been acquired, so these employees facing layoffs jumped over happily.

Many of the types of employees of film companies are also suitable for TV stations. Apart from some completely incompatible things, most of the jobs are still competent. This also invisibly reduces some of the grassroots dominance of NBC on the entire NBC-Long TV station. However, NBC doesn't care. This giant in the TV entertainment industry is still in a wait-and-see state. The success of a TV station requires time to verify to a certain extent. NBC cannot guarantee the potential value of this TV station, so they can only wait. If the TV station's performance is excellent, then this giant will definitely find ways to gain control.

Of course, this depends on whether Lin Zilong and Kirk Kelcorion agree. So at this stage, Lin Zilong must reach an agreement with Kirk Kelcorion. Fortunately, Kirk Kelcorion also has the intention to leave NBC, but now they still cannot live without NBC.

Under Lin Zilong's inspection, the American Idol program production team was slowly established by James Pitt. In a month, most of the progress has been completed. Now we are just waiting for the program to be selected across the country after the program starts. Now, advertising has begun to take turns among NBC TV stations, but the advertising fee is not much. No matter what, NBC has always been the largest shareholder of NBC-Long TV.

However, this program has not received much attention in the past few days, and people are watching, and most people say they are looking forward to it. Even many newspapers just think this is a gimmick created by NBC. However, NBC-Long, a TV station that is still under construction, has attracted widespread attention from the media.

The New York Times took the lead in responding and made some reports on this: NBC Expand TV Station, Casino Tycoons joined the family franchise, MGM General Manager transformed into executive director, using idol gimmicks to attract attention.

The Washington Post also reported on this: the new TV station was established and the new program attracted the attention of the whole United States.

The Washington Post report is much more neutral than the New York Times. For this American Idol program, they think it is a brand new attempt and if it succeeds, it will definitely cause a sensational impact.

However, although Lin Zilong is also paying attention, most of his focus during this month is on the shooting of "Prison Break". In fact, he has no more good solutions for the production of programs like American idols, so he can only propose ideas according to the script. As for the production of the entire program, he is not as good as an old man like James Pitt. But shooting TV series is different.

The time travel man born in a professional director department has indeed matured a lot in the position of director during this TV series shooting. Although Lin Zilong has made some progress after filming in "Legend of the Night", most of the work was completed by Ren Wiseman at that time. This time, it was his own creation, including the script.

In the early stages of filming, perhaps the newborn calf and his infinite confidence in himself after "The Legend of the Night", Lin Zilong felt that he could do all the movies, but it was not until after filming that Lin Zilong realized that it was not that simple. The only thing that is fortunate is that the shooting of the TV series is much easier than that of the movie. This made Lin Zilong more clearly realize his shortcomings and then use all his strength to make up for it.

This also led to the fact that the shooting progress was very fast in the early stages, but it became a little slower later. But no matter what, in a month, Lin Zilong had filmed one to five episodes of "Prison Break".

But at this time, Lin Zilong had to stop shooting in Chicago and flew overnight to Las Vegas. Tomorrow is the time when NBC-Long TV was officially established.

Various constructions of the TV station are almost completed, and the transmission of the TV signal has been completely done after testing. Now the rest is to officially meet in front of all viewers across the United States after the ribbon is cut.

The plane stopped at Las Vegas Airport on time. After arriving, Lin Zilong rushed to the MGM Hotel without stopping. But on this night, Lin Zilong couldn't sleep. Because tomorrow will be the day when his TV station was officially established.

Lin Zilong didn't fall asleep until very late, and early the next morning, Lin Zilong got up again and carefully dressed up himself up. Lin Zilong stepped out of the MGM gate with great energy.

The long extended Lincoln car parked outside the MGM Hotel. When Lin Zilong stepped out of the hotel gate, he found that Kirk Kelcorion was already sitting in the car.

With a smile, Lin Zilong greeted him. "Mr. Kelcorion, you look so beautiful today."

"Hahahaha, Blatt, you are really good at talking." Kirk Kelcorion laughed, then signaled Lin Zilong to get in the car and said to Lin Zilong: "I'm old, but you will definitely steal all the limelight from us old guys by then. How about it, I slept well yesterday."

"Not very good, Mr. Kelcorion. You know, today is my big day, and I was always very excited last night." Lin Zilong smiled and said. His words immediately made the casino tycoon laugh again.

"Haha, Blatt, I was like that back then. Just get used to it. Let's go. Today I will introduce some friends to you, but you must be careful, because these friends are all seamless flies." Kelcorion said. During their chat, the car had slowly started and drove towards the center of the NBC-Dragon TV.

"By the way, Blatt, how is your TV series? You've been busy all this time," asked Kirk Kelcorion, who was very interested in this. He has read the entire script, but watching the script is completely different from watching the TV series. A good script is not necessarily good.

In fact, many classic Hollywood movies, if you just read the script, you may not necessarily think there is anything, just like singing and dancing movies like the youth of the song or dance, or for example, Forrest Gump.

Although subjects like jailbreak can psychologically capture the audience's attention, if it is just a novel, you will definitely feel that it is far worse than the original "The Lord of the Rings", or Harry Potter, and the Twilight. Of course, it is even worse than the same novels that rely on psychological or suspense that catch the eyes of the Sherlock Holmes series. Just as Lin Zilong chose to publish "Pirates of the Caribbean" at that time, novels adapted from different types of movies will definitely bring different effects.

At least when Kirk Kelcorion watched "Prison Break", he felt that he was a little inferior to "Pirates of the Caribbean".

"We have filmed five episodes and have been edited. I believe that when the TV station gives the signal officially released, we can start to release and test the audience's reaction." Lin Zilong said slowly. The production of American TV series is not edited together after the filming is finished. Many TV series start editing after the filming is finished. American TV series is played once a week, and many directors are enough to shoot an episode and edit it in a week. But Lin Zilong has not yet reached this level.

"Haha, this is not just a tentative reaction. Blatt, the establishment of the TV station must be very successful at the beginning, so that most of the audience can be retained." Kirk Kelcorion said, although with a hint of smile, it was enough to make Lin Zilong feel pressured.

Kirk Kelcorion has always supported Lin Zilong during this period, but Lin Zilong knew that if the TV station did not achieve the expected effect at first, the casino tycoon might have to do it in reverse. Every businessman is the same. When he feels that he can invest, he can treat you very well, but once he feels that there is no need to invest, he will give up without hesitation.

After smiling, Lin Zilong nodded and said, "You can pay attention. I think you can recover your investment costs soon."

"Haha, I think so, Blatt, you are the most optimistic young man in this century. I believe in my own vision." Kirk Kelcorion said with a smile.

The two of them were chatting about some TV programs, and soon they arrived at the center of the TV station. As soon as Lin Zilong got out of the car, the sound of the camera suddenly came over.

Countless reporters were bombarded with spears and cannons, and like a tide, Lin Zilong and Kirk Kerkorien rushed over as they got off the car.

The security guards were struggling to block the reporters, and Kirk Kelcorion's personal bodyguards also surrounded the casino tycoon and Lin Zilong.

"Mr. Kelcorion, what made you invest in a TV station?"

"Mr. Kelcorion, MGM is no one cares about now, how do you feel?"

"Mr. Brat Francis, I heard that you are the executive director of this station, how did you get NBC to agree?"

"Mr. Kelcorion."

"Mr. Brat Francis."

Flashes of noisy sounds flocked from the reporters to Lin Zilong and the casino tycoon, and various problems that could not be heard were echoing in his ears like machine guns firing.

Lin Zilong, who had the last experience, did not make a fool of himself this time, but looked at the reporters calmly and did not speak. However, when he looked at Kirk Kercorion, he realized that he was really tender.

The tycoon of the casino smiled on his face, kept waving to the reporter group, and then walked towards the TV station calmly under the protection of the security guards and bodyguards. Lin Zilong looked from the side and found that a hearing aid suddenly appeared on the old tycoon's ear. Lin Zilong had never known that there was something wrong with the tycoon's ear, which surprised him.

After they arrived at the TV station, Lin Zilong couldn't wait to ask Kirk Kelcorian: "Mr. Kelcorian, you

Lin Zilong pointed to the hearing aid on the ears of the casino tycoon and did not finish speaking, but the casino tycoon reacted and then smiled very clearly.

"Just a little trick, Blatt, I'm old, and people always need some help when they get old. This hearing aid is very good and can completely block their voices. I don't want to hear MGM always."

After saying that, Kirk Kelcorion walked in first, leaving only the stunned Lin Zilong and the group of reporters who were still shouting loudly behind.

"There is also a great way to do this
