The world is in trouble

Chapter 233: A great victory! Ergou's hegemony!
The ratings for the finale of "Insidious" are out.

Zhijiang TV accounted for 14.1%, Jibei TV accounted for 7.9%, and Guangxi TV accounted for 7.6%.

The real peak!
A true ratings miracle!
Unmatched!

As soon as this number came out, cheers broke out throughout Lightning Entertainment.

He really went completely crazy and killed people.

As for other satellite TV stations, they really feel their scalps tingling.

Once again completely speechless.

Who knows!

The first time Lightning Entertainment entered the TV drama market, it delivered such a horrific result.

As for "The Emperor of Han Dynasty 2", he was not only defeated, but his bones were broken and he was disabled.

No one even asked about the final ratings because the show was not even cut short.

Moreover, compared with the ratings myth of "The Disguiser", this TV series even seems a little ridiculous.

This is really the time to say that.

Leader Ergou is so terrifying!
Hahaha!
These three TV stations made a lot of money. Although they spent 1500 million to buy the first broadcast rights, even Guangxi TV, which had the lowest profit, has already made it back.

This high viewership rating is undoubtedly the highest among TV dramas this year, and it is a crushing first place.

Even the TV series on CCTV-1 this year can't compare to it.

As for Liao Feng, and even for Beijing TV, Anhui TV, and Sichuan TV, it just so happened that "The Emperor of Han Dynasty 2" and "The Disguiser" ended on the same day, because there were ten more episodes after all.

However, they all tacitly did not ask about the ratings.

When his subordinate brought the form, he just glanced at it lightly, and then felt a little nervous.

14.1%, too dazzling, too crazy.

The finale of "The Emperor of Han Dynasty 2" on the three major satellite TV stations had a viewership rating of less than a quarter of that of "The Disguiser".

This is more than just a loss.

It's just horrible!

He was completely pinned to the ground and slapped madly.

This time Liao Feng did not smash the porcelain, but felt a little numb.

There was actually only one sentence in his heart.

Ergou, can't you lose once?

Even once?
........................

At Lightning Entertainment's small party, Xia Xi hugged Li Shuang with her left hand and Xiao Momo with her right hand and danced happily.

"We have won a great victory in the variety show battlefield."

"In the battlefield of TV dramas, we have won a great victory."

"But don't stop, don't stop, start the third battlefield immediately, the movie battlefield."

"Wu Lingxi and Liao Feng have brought in the Hong Kong and Beijing circles to surround us. We will defeat them this summer."

"Big darling, you won the first two battles." Xia Xi kissed him hard on the face, then looked at Xiao Momo: "Little darling, the next battle depends on you."

Then she gave Bubbles a kiss on the cheek.

Well, now it's you who's being hugged left and right.

..............................

After the small party was over, Xia Xi was playing World of Warcraft in Lin Xiao's suite, taking advantage of her rare free time.

And Li Shuang is still working.

Bubble was a little drunk and lay lazily in Lin Xiao's arms.

"Do you want to take a break or continue writing the next script?" Lin Xiao asked.

Bubble thought for a while and said, "I want to write a new script. Please give me a story."

Lin Xiao thought for a while and said, "How about you come up with a story yourself?"

Bubble: "I'm very stupid. If you give me a story, I can write it well. If I write it completely on my own, I'm afraid I won't be able to write it well."

Lin Xiao: "You must have thought about it, tell me about it."

Bubble shyly glanced at Li Shuang and Xia Xi beside her, and then said, "I only have a rough idea of ​​it, and I haven't told the whole story yet."

"An old man and a young wife, 30 years apart. A wealthy man in his 50s marrying a beautiful girl in her 20s."

"Ten years passed like this. The husband was in his sixties and had become old and decrepit. The wife was in her thirties, in the prime of her life and full of charm."

"The couple became even more incompatible, and the husband became even more humble. He was neglected at home every day and was unhappy. Meanwhile, his wife went out to have a good time, being chased by countless men and enjoying herself."

"Until one day, the husband had a heart attack while his young wife was still out at someone else's party, and he died in bed."

"However, he did not die. When he woke up the next day, he found that he had grown older."

"From now on, this man will begin to rejuvenate, becoming younger and younger. And his young wife will begin to age gradually."

"The man who had regained his youth began to spend his days drinking and carousing, and took revenge on his wife. The wife, who had become old, became depressed and became extremely humble in the relationship."

"Finally one day, the two officially broke up. The wife was old and ugly, and had a hard time surviving in the turbulent society. She worked as a maid and a nun."

"After wandering for decades, I became ill and died soon, so I sold all my belongings, traveled halfway around the world, and returned to the home I had lived in for decades."

"The house is in ruins and my husband is nowhere to be found."

"Unable to bear the torture of loneliness and illness, she took poison and wanted to die quietly. But she heard crying coming from the basement, so she went to the basement with all her strength and found a baby lying in the haystack."

“Looking at the birthmark on his body, she was horrified to find that the baby was actually her husband.”

"At this time, the poison in her body had begun to take effect and she was about to die. There happened to be a coffin in the basement."

"So, she held her husband, who had become a baby, in her arms and lay in the coffin, wanting to take him with her to leave this world, and finally closed her eyes."

"But when she woke up again, she found that she was not dead, but resurrected. But the baby in her arms, that is, her husband, was missing."

"Then, she was horrified to find that she was beginning to reverse her aging process and return to her youth."

"She started working hard to make money, and after twenty years of hard work, she became a wealthy woman."

"Then one day, she saw a familiar figure on the street. It was her husband, who was about twenty years old, handsome, and a poor painter."

"And at this time, she has grown backwards to the age of 55."

"It's just like when the old man and the young wife's husband met her, except that she remembers her husband now, but her husband can't remember her."

"It was at this time that she felt that her rejuvenation was over and she began to age normally again."

"She stared blankly at her young husband, not knowing whether she should go up and start this cycle all over again."

After Bubble finished speaking, he immediately stuck out his tongue in embarrassment: "Is this story a bad one?"

Lin Xiao was slightly stunned. It was a little complicated, but the idea was very good.

Although this story is similar to the Oscar-winning film "The Curious Case of Benjamin Button", the film was made four years later and was not available at that time. Moreover, Lin Xiao had never told Bubble a similar story before, so it was her original creation. The core reason was probably because she was bothered by the fact that she was a few years older than Lin Xiao.

In addition, the core of her story is quite different from "The Curious Case of Benjamin Button".

What she wants to explore is the essential core of gender relations, which can actually be sublimated and made purer.

"Paopao, write it down." Xia Xi: "After you write it down, keep upgrading it, make it better and better, and make it your masterpiece."

Bubble looked at Lin Xiao with her beautiful eyes. She instinctively felt that Lin Xiao should give her a story idea, and then she would use her keen emotional antennae to write it out, form a script, and start filming.

Lin Xiao looked at her with love in his heart.

He has always been thinking about one question: how to make Bubble happy.

Although she has always said that her ideal is to be a fashion designer or a screenwriter, marry a good husband, have two beautiful children, and then she has nothing else to ask for.

And everything that happened now was a little different from what she had imagined.

That is, her man's career is getting bigger and bigger, and his fame is getting bigger and bigger.

She became more and more invisible, and finally curled up in a small corner of the house, gradually losing herself.

"Well, write it down." Lin Xiao said lightly and pinched her chin gently.

He didn't say anything like finding oneself, but at least he gave her enough sense of security.

Even Xiao Momo hopes to be fulfilled and even shine.

....................................

"We have won a great victory this time. Next, we should use the remaining momentum to strike the entertainment industry for the first time." Xia Xi said.

"Our Facebook's IP traffic and page view traffic are once again approaching Renren."

Facebook is really awesome, chasing quietly.

At the beginning of the year, Lingxi Island and chianren merged, and both the registered users and daily traffic were booming.

During the past six months, Lin Xiao did not have any big moves except launching the YouTube online video website. However, he still unknowingly relied on his own internal motivation to catch up with Renren's traffic again.

However, Renren has three so-called big moves.

One is the arrival of a large number of celebrities.

The second is the launch of Renren Video.

The third is the “Super Girl” strategy.

Of course, the second move is a poisonous one. Renren.com’s social foundation is not strong enough to begin with, and once Renren Video is launched, the entire website will be further torn apart.

In Lin Xiao's strategy, the entry of a large number of celebrities, commercial organizations, and official organizations into Facebook is the key to achieving the transformation of authority.

"Renren relies on two allies in the entertainment industry, the Beijing and Hong Kong circles." Xia Xi: "This time they're going to hit the Hong Kong circle first, using courtesy before force?"

Lin Xiao said: "Okay."

………………

Xia Xi left Shanghai and flew to Hong Kong in person to visit the Emperor Group first.

This is one of the biggest forces in the Hong Kong circle, with Xie Tingfeng, Rong Zuer, TWINS and so on under its command.

Currently, the local film market in Hong Kong is declining, and a large amount of film capital is moving north. Emperor Entertainment, Media Asia, etc. are representatives of Hong Kong capital.

Emperor Entertainment treated Xia Xi quite well.

The person who met with Xia Xi was Ms. Huo from Emperor Entertainment, who was also a woman.

Mr. Huo: "I'm sorry, Mr. Yang is out of the country for business, otherwise he would definitely receive you in person."

Xia Xi: "I've heard of Mr. Huo's name for a long time, and I've always wanted to meet him."

Mr. Huo smiled and said, "Your Lightning Entertainment is really sharp. Several of your variety shows have dominated the mainland market, and the latest TV series has broken the ratings record of the past two years. I often travel between Hong Kong and Beijing, and the one I hear the most is your Lightning Entertainment."

Xia Xi: "I grew up watching your Emperor Entertainment Group's dramas."

"Boss Xia, you make me sound old." Boss Huo half-jokingly said, "Your movie will be released soon, and our movie will be released soon too. I hope you can go easy on us."

Xia Xi: "Boss Huo, you're joking. Our Love Is Not Blind is just a low-budget romance movie. It can't compare to your mega-production The Matrix 33."

Mr. Huo: "We have great confidence in "The King's Avatar 2". We have invested hundreds of millions of Hong Kong dollars in this film and we can definitely afford to make mistakes."

However, both parties avoided talking about the release dates, probably hoping that the other party could avoid the spotlight.

Xia Xi changed the subject: "There is one more thing I want to discuss with Mr. Huo. You have many first-line artists under Emperor Entertainment Group, and now is the era of the Internet. Are you interested in letting your artists join our Facebook?"

Mr. Huo was stunned: "Thank you for Mr. Xia's invitation, but this matter is quite important. I need to report to Mr. Yang."

Xia Xi: "Okay, I'll take my leave now."

Mr. Huo: "I'll take Miss Xia there."

After leaving the building, Xia Xi called Lin Xiao: "The other party is very arrogant and doesn't care about our goodwill at all. Even our goodwill is very hypocritical."

Lin Xiao: "You weren't invited to dinner, nor was there a welcoming banquet?"

Xia Xi: "Don't overthink it. I'll go visit other people."

........................

After Xia Xi said goodbye, Mr. Huo went to report to Mr. Yang.

"What do you mean? To win us over?"

Mr. Huo: "Yes, let's give up the cooperation with the Wu family and cooperate with Facebook instead."

"First, we want our movie 'The King's Woman 2' to avoid the release date of 'Love Is Not Blind'. Second, we want our artists to join Facebook in large numbers."

Mr. Yang smiled lightly and said nothing more.

He is a big shot in the Hong Kong circle, with businesses spanning real estate, watches, jewelry, entertainment, etc.

They really don't take the mainland upstarts like Lightning Group seriously.

Mr. Yang took a sip of wine and said, "Young man, you don't know how high the sky is and how deep the earth is."

"Who do we think we are? Just because a few variety shows and a TV series are popular, you think you have the capital to negotiate with us?"

"Since when does not clashing with our schedule become a bargaining chip?"

"We have Cheng Long in this movie, with an investment of hundreds of millions of Hong Kong dollars. He should be the one to take the initiative to give way."

Mr. Huo: "How should we respond? Should we be more tactful or more direct?"

Mr. Yang: “Just be more direct.”

More than half an hour later, Mr. Huo called Xia Xi.

"Sorry, we have no intention of cooperating with Lightning Group for the time being."

Xia Xi: "Understood."

………………

Emperor Motion Pictures announced that "The King's Avatar" will hold its grand world premiere in Beijing on July 2.

This big production has been brewing for so long, and finally its premiere has been announced.

It’s also a kind of demonstration.

The big productions worth hundreds of millions of dollars are coming, and all other movies have to give way.

The next day, Lightning Entertainment announced that Love Is Not Blind will premiere in Shanghai on July 33.

When this press conference was released, Emperor Entertainment Group was stunned. What does this mean?
You came to chat me a few days ago, and I thought you were seeking peace, but it turned out you were being polite before using force?
There are so many open days, but you insist on choosing the same day as me?
This is a direct confrontation!

Other forces in the circle were also slightly surprised, because Lightning Entertainment had always been passive before.

Whether it is a variety show or the TV series "The Disguiser", they are all passive counterattacks, and are often attacked from both sides.

This time, you, Lightning Entertainment, took the initiative?

Let’s take another look at the production lineup.

Director Han Jie, actors Hu Ge and Ou Feifei.

Screenwriter: Bubble.

Still a complete newcomer and still a grassroots director.

However, this time, almost no one made sarcastic comments and questioned the issue in the media or on portal websites. After all, the lessons of last year were still fresh in people’s minds.

At that time, "Crazy Stone", a movie produced by grassroots directors and actors, completely replaced Huayi's all-star cast's "Cell Phone".

However, the casts of the two films are even more disparate this time.

That movie is starred by Big Brother Jackie Chan, Zhen Zhidan, and a bunch of other celebrities, and the investment is said to be over 100 million.

How much investment did you put into Love Is Not Blind? It must be several million again. And the last screenwriter was Er Gou, but this time it’s a completely new screenwriter that I have never heard of.

Who is this bubble?

........................

Many celebrities are puzzled again.

Because, they received two invitations again.

One was an invitation from Emperor Entertainment Group, and the other was an invitation from Lightning Entertainment, and the premieres were held almost on the same day and at the same time.

Before, they could certainly choose Emperor Entertainment Group without hesitation.

But things are a little different now. Lightning Entertainment is really awesome this year. The three major variety shows have unified the entire screen, and the TV series "The Disguiser" has become the ratings champion again.

If you stand on the wrong side at this time, you will be in trouble in the future.

After all, Lightning Entertainment said that there will be three movies and three TV series every year in the future.

Among them, Mr. Zhen Zhidan is almost the most difficult one.

Because he once again received an invitation from Lightning Entertainment. If it was before, he would definitely go without saying anything, after all, he participated in Facebook Night, and he took the initiative to visit Lin Xiao some time ago, expressing a strong willingness to cooperate.

But this time it’s different. He is the leading actor of "The King's Avatar 2" and also an action director. If he does not attend the premiere here and instead attends the premiere of "Love Is Not Blind", it would really be a fallout.

Although I want to go north and rise.

But if such a choice is really made, it would mean a complete break with the Hong Kong circle.

And just at this moment, Gao Changhe called.

"Mr. Zhen, as the action director and lead actor of The Matrix 2, you should speak out in the media and invite Mr. Lin to attend the premiere of The Matrix 2."

"As for us, I have also made it public in the media. How about inviting you and Director Yuan Kui to attend the premiere of Love Is Not Blind?"

..............................

The next day, Zhen Zhidan spoke publicly during an interview with Sina Entertainment.

The reporter asked: "Mr. Zhen, there are rumors that Lightning Entertainment has become domineering and is forcing many people in the entertainment industry to take sides. What do you think? Many celebrities in the industry have received invitations to the premieres of two movies at the same time and are at a loss. What do you think?"

Zhen Zhidan: "I don't think that's the case. We are all Chinese-language films, and harmony is the most important thing."

The reporter was stunned. You don’t attack Leader Ergou or Lightning Entertainment?
"However, many celebrities in Beijing told us that they did receive two invitations at the same time."

Zhen Zhidan: "Isn't this a good thing? It proves that the film industry is becoming more and more prosperous. As one of the main creators of "The Matrix 2", I can also extend an invitation to Mr. Lin from Lightning Group."

Then, he faced the camera and said, "Mr. Lin Xiao, Mr. Gao Changhe, on behalf of The Matrix 2, I would like to formally invite you to attend the premiere on July 7."

Suddenly, Emperor Motion Pictures was a little confused.

What are you doing?

Who told you to talk nonsense?
The Lightning Group has already attacked us, and you still say that peace is the most important thing?
This is a confrontation between two groups. Is it your turn to be a good person or a peacemaker?
However, this footage soon appeared on Beijing Satellite TV and several major portal websites.

Soon, Lightning Entertainment responded.

Gao Changhe said to the reporter: "Our General Manager Lin is very happy to receive the invitation from Mr. Zhen Zhidan. Even if General Manager Lin doesn't have time, I am very happy to go."

"Here, we also invite Mr. Zhen Zhidan, Director Yuan Kui, and Director Liang Bojian to attend the premiere of Love Is Not Blind."

Suddenly, the media was even more confused.

Depend on……

what does this mean?

........................

Huayi Company.

Mr. Wang: "This kid is really arrogant. He just ruined the place."

President Fei: "Now I can see his moves. Renren Group has won over our Beijing and Hong Kong circles. This time he is specifically targeting the Hong Kong circle, and next he will target our Beijing circle."

Mr. Wang: "It was fine that he caught us off guard last year, but he wants to do it again this year? You're just dreaming, right?"

"Last year we only had one movie, 'Cell Phone', which was considered a low-budget production. This year we have two super-big productions, 'A World Without Thieves' and 'Kung Fu', plus the new 'House of Flying Daggers'. As for his 'The Last Days', I'll have to hope for the best."

Mr. Fei: "In short, he came with bad intentions. He dominated the TV market in the first half of the year, and he will move towards the film market in the second half of the year."

"Ultimately, he is doing this for Facebook. He wants to bring the entire entertainment industry's traffic to Facebook, not Renren."

Mr. Wang: "Then you should humble yourself. It is a sheer pipe dream to think that you can force everyone to compromise by charging recklessly."

"We are stuck in the Beijing circle, and the Hong Kong circle is stuck in the south. We can't expect a large number of celebrities to join Facebook."

..............................

In the new scene, Master Zhang and Zhang Weiping received invitations again.

"Otherwise, let's go there." said Master Zhang.

Zhang Weiping: "Give him face?"

Zhang Weiping is absolutely wary and hostile towards Lightning Entertainment.

Firstly, I can't stand a young man like Lin Xiao, who was working on the Internet but ended up running rampant in the entertainment industry. Wasn't your success on TV in the first half of this year enough for you? Wasn't your success enough for you?

Another reason is that they are worried that Lightning Entertainment will poach Master Zhang.

Columbia originally collaborated with Huayi and New Picture.

As a result, now Lightning Entertainment and Columbia have the deepest cooperation, and the "The Last Days" will be released at the end of the year.

In his opinion, this is a zero-sum game. Columbia has only so many resources. If Lightning Entertainment gets more, Zhang Weiping will get less.

Then, Zhang Weiping threw the invitation letter into the trash can without saying anything.

Master Zhang sighed but said nothing in the end.

........................

Lin Xiao once again called Columbia's female president, Amy Pascal.

"Lin, I'm already feeling uneasy." The female CEO said, "You're definitely going to make unreasonable demands on this call."

Lin Xiao: "I heard that Britain's Got Talent has been recorded and will be broadcast soon?"

Columbia's female president Amy said, "Yes, and as you wished, ITV invited Simon Cowell to be a co-producer, and he also became one of the three mentors."

Amy still cares very much about "Britain's Got Talent".

Because this is the first work of the tripartite joint venture company Fantasy Vision, and it is also the first time that a European and American TV station has purchased the copyright from a Chinese company.

Of course, the most important thing is that this joint venture was initiated by Amy. If the show fails, it would be a bad start.

"Congratulations on your success in the domestic television industry, Mr. Lin Xiao." Female CEO Amy said, "Now, you can openly state your purpose."

Lin Xiao: "I heard that the Chinese distributor of Kung Fu will choose Huayi?"

Female President Amy: "Yes, we agreed on that before."

Lin Xiao: “Change it!”

"Let Bona distribute it."

Suddenly, President Amy was stunned. Are you stretching your hand too far?
Lin Xiao also tried his best to crack down on dissidents.

In the first half of this year, the battle in the TV market was over.

In the second half of the year, we will punch Emperor Entertainment Group and kick Huayi Entertainment Group.

"Kung Fu" is so awesome and so classic.

Huayi's acquisition of the distribution rights for "Kung Fu" was like adding wings to a tiger, so awesome.

Then we can solve the problem directly from the root and get rid of the distribution rights.

Female President Amy: "Don't let your imagination run wild. Huayi has invested in the movie Kung Fu."

Lin Xiao: "But the investment is small, isn't it? The biggest investor in this film is Columbia, and Mr. Zhou Xingchi will definitely respect your opinions for the sake of the international market."

Amy: “We had a huge disagreement with Stephen about this movie because the investment was so huge.”

Lin Xiao: "Also, regarding Mr. Zhou's next movie, we at Lightning Entertainment can become his investor in the mainland. I can even provide him with the script."

Anyway, Mr. Zhou, you will have a falling out with Huayi sooner or later, it doesn’t matter if it’s one day sooner or later.

Amy: "Mr. Lin Xiao, I find that you are the type who likes to push for more. I don't want you to use our Columbia influence to suppress dissidents in the Chinese market, or even to exert your entertainment hegemony."

Lin Xiao: "But if you cooperate with me, you can get the most benefits, right?"

Amy: "Mr. Lin Xiao, I haven't seen any benefits from my cooperation with you so far."

Lin Xiao: "The results will be out soon. Britain's Got Talent will be aired in two days?"

Amy: “I’ll wait and see.”

Lin Xiao: "On July 7, I invite you to attend the premiere of Love Is Not Blind. I will also invite Mr. Zhou Xingchi to come along."

Female President Amy has a huge headache.

Lin Xiao is like this. He starts with a small start and then presses forward step by step, resulting in deeper and deeper cooperation between the two parties.

Even the premiere of "Love Is Not Blind" was turned into a stage for him to maneuver.

Amy could almost imagine that if she attended, Lin Xiao would invite Zhou Xingchi to attend.

Now that the "Kung Fu" movie has been completed, the next step is overseas, which is crucial and we have to rely entirely on Columbia.

As long as these two people are present, Lin Xiao will decisively initiate the next cooperation.

Then, the distribution rights of "Kung Fu" were replaced, which dealt a critical blow to Huayi.

In addition, for Amy, he is the president of Columbia. The last time he attended the premiere of "Crazy Stone", he came secretly and with the intention of conducting an inspection.

This time, the premiere of "Love Is Not Blind" was open and grand, and it was completely in competition with Emperor Entertainment Group and Hong Kong entertainment forces.

If Amy participates, it means she is fully supporting Lightning Entertainment.

She is a Hollywood mogul, so she really shouldn't do that.

And she also didn't want to become Lin Xiao's weapon to attack dissidents.

..........................................

Zhou Xingchi received an invitation letter and a phone call again.

"Thank you for your invitation, Mr. Lin."

"I will seriously consider it, and hopefully I will have time one day."

"Goodbye!"

His relationship with Emperor Entertainment Group is not very good, but they will meet each other sooner or later.

As a super boss of Hong Kong films, it would be a slap in the face if he attended the premiere of Lightning Entertainment instead of Emperor Entertainment Group's film.

And the most crucial thing is that the relationship between Lightning Entertainment and Huayi Group is like fire and water.

But now he is working with Huayi again.

If he goes, he will be supporting Lightning Entertainment, and everyone will be embarrassed.

However, Lightning Entertainment is Columbia's closest partner, and the two parties have even established a joint venture.

So, Master Xing finally picked up the phone and called President Amy.

"Yes, Lin Xiao also invited me to attend the premiere." Amy: "I haven't agreed yet."

Stephen Chow: "Will 'The Last Days' and 'Kung Fu' collide in the global market at the end of the year? At least in the Chinese market, will there be a strong conflict?"

Amy thought for a while and said, "That may not be the case. He is very smart and he also respects Kung Fu."

"But I can tell you that within Columbia, Kung Fu takes precedence over The Last Days."

That's for sure. Columbia only invested two or three million dollars in "The Last Days", but invested more than 10 million dollars in "Kung Fu".

So in Amy's opinion, Lin Xiao's idea of ​​using Columbia's power to attack Huayi Company was really a bit unrealistic and overreaching.

Stephen Chow: "Ms. Amy, if you are going to attend the premiere of Lightning Entertainment, please let me know in advance."

Amy: “Yes, Stephen.”

....................................

For President Amy, Lin Xiao has already exhausted Colombia's friendship.

Of course, this so-called friendliness is actually a quantification of benefits and reputation.

Although the two sides have already carried out in-depth cooperation, Lin Xiao should not ask for more before he brings more benefits to Colombia.

She had only heard about Lin Xiao's success in the Chinese television market, but had no feelings about it.

After all, she cares almost nothing about the Chinese television market.

The only thing she cared about was the success of Britain's Got Talent, because it was the first business of the joint venture between Columbia, Lightning Entertainment and SoftBank Group, and it was also the one she handled.

To put it more seriously, it can be regarded as a small attempt by Columbia to develop a television network.

She called ITV's creative director David Wynne.

"David, Britain's Got Talent is on July 7th?"

David Wayne: "Yes, Ms. Amy."

Amy: "What is your overall prediction for ITV?"

David Wayne: "I don't know. More than half of the people are not optimistic about it. Although it has not been publicized, they know that the copyright was purchased from a Chinese entertainment company. They have a natural contempt for China."

"But the other half are very optimistic, especially Mr. Simon Cowell, who likes it very much and is very involved."

"But we will face a very strong opponent in BBC's Strictly Come Dancing."

"Since the show started airing on May 5, the ratings have been very high and its influence is also very great."

"ITV itself is not as influential as the BBC, and we have to compete with their most popular show this year, Strictly Come Dancing. So even though we have spent a lot of money on publicity, we are still not too optimistic about the ratings."

"I'm very, very nervous, Ms. Amy."

"For you, this is just a business. But for me, it is related to my future and career."

"I was the one who led the introduction of this program and paid a huge price. The key is that its copyright comes from an ancient and backward Eastern country. If it fails, then I will definitely be responsible."

Amy: "Then I can tell you a good news. The ratings of China's Got Talent are very high. It is an unprecedented success."

David Wayne: "I know, I know, but that doesn't make me doubt it."

"I can only ask God to bless me and Britain's Got Talent."

Amy Pascal said, "David, first of all, I wish you success. Secondly, when the ratings come out, please call me as soon as possible, okay?"

David Wayne: “Of course!”

Amy: "Good night then, and good luck to you."

David Wayne: "Good night, and wish us good luck."

"God bless!"

7 Month 10 Day!
The final of Shanghai TV's "China's Got Talent" is officially aired.

This variety show, which created a ratings miracle, has finally reached its peak.

On the other side of the earth, after deducting the time difference, the first episode of "Britain's Got Talent" was officially broadcast.

One beginning and one end, one after another.
