Chapter 763 The old man also has spring(1/2)
In fact, Tang En had an interest in sports stations as early as when he was operating Starz TV.
However, the flames were extinguished as soon as they rose.
Although the sports channel is also a paid cable channel, it is a popular program that can connect all levels of the upper, middle and lower classes, and is a must-have channel for American families. Although the programs of Starz TV Station are good-looking, they are not necessities for daily life and are optional.
Therefore, when operating a sports channel, you must have traffic import.
For example, behind ESPN is ABC, Fox Sports is backed by Twentieth Century Fox, NBC Sports is backed by NBC...
A boutique channel like Starz does not rely on traffic, but on content to gain popularity, especially its attraction to the middle class or above.
New Global can run Starz TV well, but it is difficult to run a sports well.
fox, nbc, cbs, time warner... are all engaged in sports TV, but they are all half dead. Adding up, they are less than half of espn's market share.
In other words, New Global is invincible in the film market and swept everything. But compared with this monopoly, there is still a big gap between ESPN's monopoly on sports live broadcasts.
This year, espn has completed signing contracts with many large event institutions around the world, and the event broadcasting fee is more than US$4.5 billion!
This is just the beginning, and the cost of broadcasting the event will be higher.
There is really no need to get into this muddy water.
Let Twentieth Century Fox, Viacom, Comcast, Time Warner, Disney and other giants compete in the field of live sports events.
Tang En stopped playing!
Although there are mountains of gold and silver here, the competition is too fierce, so it is better for Tang En to find new treasures.
For example…theme parks and chain store businesses.
Disney has three leading sectors: sports event broadcasting, Disneyland, and Disney Store.
Now, if Donn wants to focus on developing Universal Studios and the new Universal Store, it will inevitably compete with Disney.
If Donn intervenes in the live sports event market at this time, Michael Eisner will be furious!
Disney's largest profit sector is ABC Group; ABC's largest profit sector is espn!
This is the basis for Disney to make money and the foundation for ranking among the Fortune 500 in the world.
When the new Universal and Disney League are in full swing, there is no need to have another dispute.
It's just a few more years to wait!
Although espn is so powerful now, he still has to admit defeat in the face of the general trend of the Internet.
There are only two ways to go: either compromise with the Internet and launch espn's streaming service; or... wait to die!
In front of streaming media, traditional TV sports channels are destined to be desolate.
In the past, people always sat in front of the TV and waited for the show to be staged, but now the highlights of the competition have long been spread on some video websites and social media.
There are real-time score updates on social media such as Twitter and Facebook, which is much faster than the newsletter of sports news.
Eventually, this is especially true for live events.
Sports broadcasting requires traffic import, but can ABC's traffic be compared with Facebook with 2 billion users around the world?
In general, Tang En is not in a hurry.
After establishing the interactive entertainment department and developing Netflix and Facebook smoothly, the future film and television world will inevitably belong to the New World!
...
As April entered, Donn and Catherine Elizabeth Hudson recorded their last song "Fireork". In their previous lives, this was her popular song.
After recording the song, Tang En also specifically notified the record company and agency, giving her a new stage name - Katy Perry.
Despite Donne's push, even though she still called "Catherine Elizabeth Hudson", a name that looked a bit "old-fashioned", "stiff" and "not trendy enough", she still became famous.
But... she is Fruit Sister, so it is better to call Katy Perry.
In the past period of time, Tang En was surrounded by girls like Katy Perry, Avril, and Cheryl, who were full of youthful atmosphere. After playing for a long time, he wanted to change his taste.
"Marl, see what Kate is doing and help me arrange it." Don Eun, who was writing the script in the office, called Jasmine Bloom and ordered the sign.
Jasmine Bloom blinked, "Is Kate... Kate Beckinsale?"
"Yes, it's her!"
Tang En answered without raising his head.
Last time I dated, this mature and charming British rose left a very good impression on him.
British women, regardless of their accent, temperament and contact feeling, seem to have an innate sense of aristocracy and full of charm... This is very different from the honest and close American women and the generous and refreshing Australian women.
Now, Katherine Zeta Jones and Rachel Vizi have a stable personal life, and it is also good to let Kate Beckinsale take over.
Don En had completed the script outline of "Hunting" and then put it aside.
He will shoot the commercial blockbuster "Avengers" this year and devote more energy to this movie.
For movies like "Avengers", the script design is actually very simple, and the storyline is very clear. Just follow the plot of the comics.
The difficulty is what kind of shooting techniques should be used to show it.
If so many superheroes appear in the same movie, it means that the movie suddenly has five or six male leads.
This has never happened in the history of film.
After recording the song and post-production of the album, he ignored it and once again "mirrored possession". After "Titanic" and "Spider-Man", he possessed James Cameron's ability for the third time.
He wants to use the perspective of this king of commercial films to more perfectly plan the visual presentation of "Avengers".
The original "Avengers" was directed by the unknown Jos Whedon, and his level was average! He just used the simplest shooting skills to tell the story of "Avengers gather together to fight against powerful enemies."
It's like a book-writing essay, without any beauty.
It does not show the overall view and art of using mirrors that a director should have when telling a story.
In contrast, the Russell brothers, the director who filmed "Avengers 3", have much higher levels.
This is the first assembly of the "Avengers" and a phased finale of Marvel Studios. Don Eun wants to take action personally to set the tone!
Of course, with his current real strength, he is far from Joss Weden, for example, and must rely on the strong support of the sunglasses system.
"Tang Eun, there's a little problem."
Just as Tang En was seriously drawing the storyboard, Jasmine Bloom was back.
Tang En looked up and was a little surprised, "What's wrong?"
Jasmine Bloom looked confused and shook her head, "I don't know, Kate's side... It seems that there is a problem. In a while, Mr. Orwitz will call you to explain it to you."
Tang En was a little surprised.
Michael Orwitz?
This old man took action so quickly and has completed his new plan for her career?
Could it be that Kate Beckinsale has already won the new film contract and can't separate him?
Sure enough, within 5 minutes, Michael Orwitz called.
"Donn, I heard... are you asking for Kate?"
"Yeah, hehe, I met her once last time and it felt pretty good."
Half a month ago, Donn slept with Kate Beckinsale. Because he had no energy to arrange her career, he entrusted Michael Orwitz to help.
This knowledgeable old man can definitely guess the secret transaction between the two.
No concealment is allowed.
He is a veteran agent and has a lot of knowledge.
The unspoken rule method that is popular in Hollywood today is the first of its kind by Michael Orwitz!
Usually, the producer or director will invite an actress to a hotel in the name of audition or talking about roles.
After the actress goes, she will find that the other person has taken a shower and is wearing a bathrobe.
This is a hint.
After the infamous red sofa audition in the 1970s and 1980s, Michael Orwitz led the Caa to find such a "subtle", "restricted" and "moderate" unspoken rule method.
In essence, women are all exchanging roles with their bodies.
However, compared with the hegemonic red sofa audition in Hollywood in the past, the "date" in hotels has a good atmosphere, soft means and obscure methods, which also gives actresses a lot of choices.
If you don't agree, you can leave.
There is no risk of being banned, either.
Like a normal transaction, you are willing and fair.
If it were placed in Hollywood in the early years... Humph, the big guy made the request for a red sofa audition, and the actress would not have the right to refuse! Otherwise, the ban at the least, and the severity would be abused!
There are also female celebrities who suddenly evaporate from the world!
From this perspective, Michael Orwitz has done a lot of good things for actresses.
Of course, Don Eun's current position in Hollywood is too transcendent, far from being an ordinary producer or director.
