Chapter 867 We only broadcast TV series
Donald knew this very well, and he did not think about deceiving Boss Huang, so he frankly told all the problems in it, and then said, "Sir, if you really want to make this TV station possible, then I would recommend that you operate according to the normal TV station method, otherwise you will fail like me in the end!"
"No, the current TV operation rules are actually out of date!" Huang He said, seeing Donald's expression disapprovingly, he asked, "Mr. Donald, do you think if I operate according to the TV operation rules that everyone uses. Even if I invest a huge amount of money, will it be possible to defeat the current five major TV networks?"
"..." Donald stopped talking. He once thought he could do this, but countless facts proved that this was impossible. Not to mention anything else, just a cable TV network covering the whole of the United States was something that could not be done. The five major TV stations were in unison. As long as they pinched the cable TV signal, the gods would not even think about developing.
Unless Huang He intends to invest in a new cable TV network covering all meters, this is obviously impossible.
"So we need to change a brand new idea to operate Los Gaitu TV Station, and this idea is the idea currently used by Los Gaitu. This is the only way we can defeat the five major TV stations at present!" Huang He said.
"This is impossible!" Donald shook his head. "There are too many difficulties and problems here, and they are not something we can solve at the moment!"
"Okay, then list the problems and difficulties one by one, and I'll solve them on the spot for you to see!" Huang He was very straightforward.
Donald was stunned when he heard this, and was not polite, and said directly, "The first problem is the problem of a large number of TV series resources and variety show resources. How to solve this? If you want to meet the operating method you mentioned, even if you calculate the replay, our TV station must prepare more than 50 TV series resources and at least ten different variety shows resources every year!"
"This is the best solution!" Huang He smiled and said, "Netfei is mine. Netfei has many copyrights for TV series. You can transfer all of them to Los Gaitu TV station to play!"
"In addition, I have a large number of TV series and film and television resources in China. I plan to establish a special beautification group when all of these TV series resources in China are beautified!"
"Of course, foreign TV series are not easy to open up the market, so I plan to invest about $1 billion to go to the US TV series production company in the United States to acquire the copyright of the TV series they have broadcast... The copyright of these TV series is actually very cheap, but many viewers actually don't mind watching the replay, and even really hope to watch these TV series again."
"I've found someone to calculate that $1 billion is enough to get the copyright of more than 5,000 TV series. These resources are enough for Los Gaitu TV to play for more than ten years!"
"..." Donald was shocked by Boss Huang's generousness. He spent $1 billion without blinking, as if the money was not money.
But Donald was not so easy to admit defeat. He quickly retorted, "These resources are just to allow TV stations to broadcast continuously. This is just a basic requirement of a TV station. If our TV station really wants to defeat the five major TV stations, we must continue to launch popular TV series!"
"No need to be too much. As long as we can launch a hit TV series like the Big Bang Theory every year, we have the hope of gathering a lot of popularity and defeating the five major TV stations!" said Donald.
"I know this too!" Boss Huang nodded. "You may not know that I also have Marvel Film and Television, American Tangren Film and Television, and Vita Studio in New Zealand. These are all film and television resources owned by Jiangnan Group. In the past few years, more than 10 films have been completed or in production!"
"Next, I plan to draw some elite forces from these companies to establish the Los Gaitu TV production department. We can shoot the TV series we want to shoot ourselves, or invest in other companies to produce TV series, etc. And we do our best to create high-quality TV series at all costs!"
"In my plan, we will create a super TV series with a total cost of more than US$200 million every year, and five high-quality TV series with a total cost of between US$20 million and US$100 million. At the same time, we will also invest in creating other TV series with a total of about 30 steps, with no limits and only watching the good and bad scripts. Do you think we will not have excellent content with such a huge investment?"
Huang He's words made Donald lick his tongue. He suddenly realized that if Huang He was really willing to spend money like this, the content of the TV series would really crush the so-called five major TV stations.
After all, these TV stations have never invested in any TV series that costs more than $10 million, but now this new boss starts with 6 TV series worth tens of millions of dollars every year. This domineering level is terrifying.
"Okay, I won't talk about the TV series itself for the time being, but in terms of the TV station's program arrangement, I still don't agree with this kind of program that is all TV series connected. This is actually not friendly to the audience..." Donald said.
"What you said makes sense. If you simply broadcast TV series, it is indeed very easy to make the audience feel tired. But you must admit that 60% of the audience actually do not want to watch news. They only like to watch TV series or variety shows, or some funny talk shows. Serious news cannot be loved by most viewers!"
"And there are too many TV stations that produce various news columns. Each TV station has to invest huge amounts of money to collect and produce various news columns, but in fact, there are not so many news in the world. Many TV stations only broadcast the same news. Such competition is meaningless."
"So it's better to open up differentiated competition directly, so that the entire TV station will not broadcast news, or broadcast traditional news anchor programs, but instead create news and interesting columns similar to talk shows!" Huang He said.
"That's right! But it's hard to reconcile between these two points. The most important thing is that the TV series you broadcast may not be loved by most viewers. Moreover, large-scale broadcast of TV series can easily lead to missing episodes and other problems..." Donald repeated again.
"Okay, skip this first, let me continue with other questions!" Boss Huang actually skipped directly.
Donald felt a little uncomfortable, but continued to say, "The advertising asked, if you produce TV series according to the standards you mentioned before, just charging the annual cable TV service fee will probably not meet such expensive TV series production fees. But you promise not to charge advertising fees, so I really can't think of why you want to do this business, it's obvious that you have to lose money!"
"Skip this first! Continue with other questions!!" Huang He actually skipped again.
"I won't be helpless this guy!" Donald muttered in his heart, but he continued obediently. In the end, it's the problem of cable TV network. If we enter the market on a large scale, the five major TV stations will definitely cut off our cable TV signals. We have no way to resist this!"
"Are there any other questions?" Huang He continued to ask after listening carefully.
"No more, there are only a few of them. Although there are still others, they are not important and can be overcome!" Donald shook his head and said.
"Very good. Actually, the reason why I want to jump away from the first two problems is because these three problems can actually be solved in one way, that is, change the thinking, change the track, and stop playing with them!" Boss Huang said with a smile.
"Change the track?" Donald was stunned. It was not that he couldn't understand the meaning of changing the track, but that he didn't understand where the track was!
"The track is here!" Huang He walked to the TV in the room and pulled off the TV cable above.
Looking through this cable TV cable, you will find that the TV cable is not directly connected to the cable TV hole on the wall, but is connected to a box. In addition to the cable TV cable, this box has another line connected.
If you look along this line, you will find that the network cable is finally connected to a computer.
"In the United States, most of the network cables extend from the telephone cables, right?" Boss Huang asked suddenly with a smile.
"Yes, most of the network cables are telephone cables!" Donald nodded.
In the eyes of many readers, TV cables are TV cables, telephone cables are telephone cables, and broadband is broadband. These are three completely independent communication lines and are not affected by any influence.
But in fact, in the early 21st century, most cities did not lay expensive broadband lines. Even the great United States would have to wait until 2012 before broadband would be popularized.
Before this, the network line was basically mixed with the other two lines.
In China, this line is a telephone line. Readers with memory should remember that when they used something called a cat to go online, they would constantly make a sizzling sound. This was the only way to access the Internet at that time, and they needed to separate the network signal from the telephone line. This is why China's network was operated by Huaxia Telecom at the beginning. After all, all the lines were controlled by others.
But the United States is different. In the United States, the number of telephone lines used to connect to the Internet is actually very good. The actual line used to connect to the Internet is actually cable TV lines.
Because of the need to transmit video signals, the cable TV line's ability to transmit network signals is actually very strong, not much worse than that of early broadband.
The American cable TV network was launched very early, so when their network was built, they basically chose to mix it directly into the cable TV line. Therefore, American cats are not connected to the telephone line, but to the TV line!
