Reborn Capital Madman

The TV stations confirmed for acquisition will be controlled by Paramount Television Company, and the operation of the television network will be handed over to Paramount United Television Network Company. The first batch of network members include Paramount Television Company, Hughes Television Company, Hess Television Company

Special Television Company, as for the development and growth of Paramount United Television Network, it depends on the actual performance after the official launch. The risks involved cannot be taken lightly.

You must know that although the situation is favorable, there are only a handful of winners who have been written into the history of the development and success of their respective industries and are well-known to people. Countless losers have become fertilizer under the superficial flowers. At best, one can be left to do the work for others.

The reputation of wedding dress.

In order to control the deficit in the initial investment, Sir Gao, the financial backer, extended his control from Paramount Television Company to Paramount United Television Network Company. In other words, he further "intervened" in Barry.

Diller is proud of its expertise in television media.

Of course, this kind of "intervention" is completely different from the "tyranny" of Charles Bludorn. Instead, it is cloaked in the guise of "deliberation" and tries to be as "persuasive" as possible.

Barry Diller, who had been "trained" for several rounds, had some arguments, but in the end, he basically obeyed.

For example, Sir Gao asked in detail how Paramount Television Network builds momentum.

It is not difficult to imagine that the "professional" team headed by Barry Diller naturally hopes to make the noise as loud as possible and make it known to everyone. The attention of Paramount Network will increase, and the popularity of the audience will come, winning

With the favor of advertisers and sufficient income, business operations will enter a virtuous cycle as soon as possible.

Ever since, in the copy, Paramount Television Network was clearly positioned as the fourth television network in the United States, and it was also the successor to the earliest fourth television network, the Dumont Television Network.

Objectively speaking, it is not without sufficient basis to describe Paramount Network as the successor of Dumont Television Network.

Thinking back to those days, in the early days of the development of the American television industry, major Hollywood film companies such as Paramount Pictures, 20th Century Fox Pictures, Columbia Pictures, etc. all had their own ambitious layouts, but the times dictated that.

In the end, they all sadly left the show and continued to work on producing program content. Among them, Paramount held 40% of the shares of Dumont TV Network and cooperated closely with Dumont TV Network, and was even

Outsiders believe that it actually controls the Dumont TV Network.

Starting from this origin, allowing Paramount Television Network to debut as the successor to Dumont Television Network can indeed attract enough attention.

In fact, Gao Xian also attaches great importance to "inheritance" and "legal authority". For example, he maintains sufficient influence on Howard Hughes Company and has strong control over Gulf Western Company, all with the help of Howard Hughes's effective will.

Charles Bludorn's close friend is such a master of swordsmanship.

However, Gao Xian expressed his disapproval of the promotional copy describing Paramount Network as the successor to Dumont Network, and even disapproved of Paramount Network calling itself the fourth television network in the United States.

Because the rivers and lakes are deep, some things cannot be said and done, and some things cannot be done.

It is true that since President Ronald Reagan came to power, the United States has entered the neoliberal era and pursued a small government style. Many aspects of supervision have become much more "friendly" than before. IBM's complete removal of the shackles of antitrust litigation is an example.

But the vigilance that should be exercised should not be lost.

The relationship between Paramount and DuMont TV Network cannot avoid the drama of the antitrust lawsuit. The media industry is inherently good at using words and words, which will definitely attract all kinds of discussions with ulterior motives.

As for the gimmick of the fourth television network in the United States, Paramount Television Network can aim to create the fourth television network in the United States, but there is no need to sow hatred in the initial stage, for fear that the three major traditional television networks will not take action to suppress it.

Whether the audience buys into the content of the program or not has a lot of subjective factors. People can just pick it up, why are you not the fourth TV network? Why are the programs so bad? They are criticized a lot. Advertisers don’t have much time to distinguish the authenticity.

.

What's more, in the past 20 to 30 years, so many forces that wanted to establish the fourth television network in the United States ended in failure. There is no need for Paramount United Television to put itself on the fire from the beginning.

So much so that it limits specific operations.

Finally, Gao Xian concluded: "My opinion is that the noise from the outside world is often an invisible quagmire. We should not take the initiative to jump into it. As for the competition among peers, we do not expect to paralyze them. We only need to let them despise them more or less."

This provides a valuable buffer needed to grow and thrive.”

"At the same time, Paramount Networks is not going to upset the FCC's sensibilities."

"Of course, in addition to claiming to be the successor of Dumont Television Network and building a fourth television network with great fanfare, your copywriting is perfect. I appreciate it very much and give my support."

Listening to what Sir Gao said is reasonable and well-founded, what can Barry Diller do? After all, whoever controls the money bag has more say.

However, Barry Diller still did not expect that the "moderate low profile" required by Gao Xian could further "intervene" in his "professional" field.

I saw Gao Xian taking a document from his assistant and shaking it, "The Federal Communications Commission's supervision of television networks is still very stressful. I would like to make a suggestion. In the early stages of the operation of Paramount United Television Network, the gold

The time slot is one hour shorter than the traditional three major TV networks, that is, from 8 to 10 pm every Monday to Saturday, and from 8 to 11 pm every Sunday."

"In doing so, we are effectively lowering the standards for Paramount Network and thus avoiding some of the FCC's regulatory provisions for television networks."

Many of the Paramount executives sitting around the conference table secretly muttered that Sir Gao's business was getting bigger and bigger, but his courage was getting smaller and smaller.

Gao Xian continued: "Paramount United Television Network's syndicated programs need to be compiled into two versions. One can be called the standard version, which is what you wrote in the plan; the other can be called the clean version.

In the section that simulcasts advertising or promotional content across the United States, certain gaps are left to allow member TV stations to broadcast their own local content. As for the specific additional restrictions, you have formulated them."

"It is no exaggeration to say that this flexibility in programming simulcast programs can become a major feature of Paramount Network that is different from the three traditional TV networks, and should be an advantage in attracting more TV stations to join the network."

Sir Gao's controlling hand stretched longer and longer, which made everyone feel numb. Fortunately, what refreshed them was that Gao Xian finally stopped taking documents from his assistant, and said very straightforwardly: "

Okay, these are my opinions, so you don’t have to worry about being stuck by me anymore.”

Everyone was indeed relieved, so much so that when a series of issues including how Paramount provided outsourced programming for Paramount Network's television stations were discussed, enthusiasm became significantly higher.

The sharp-eyed Sir Gao kept smiling. After listening carefully for a while, he looked at his watch casually, said "I have other meetings to attend", and left with his assistant.

Michael Eisner, the president in charge of film industry affairs, saw an opportunity, moved to sit down next to Barry Diller, and whispered: "During this period, Paramount's internal adjustments are not small. I feel that there are many changes.

The place is not reasonable, I think you can feel it to some extent during this meeting."

"It's not bad, at least Sir Gao is no more difficult to deal with than the original boss, Charles Bludorn." Barry Diller looked at Michael Eisner, "You are now the president in charge of the film industry, which is a promotion.

What, what, are you not satisfied?"

Michael Eisner chuckled and subconsciously looked at Jeffrey Katzenberg sitting far away, "On the surface, the position has indeed been promoted, but the actual power has many constraints. It is not as good as Jeff

The vice president of Rui is so gentle, I even have some doubts about whether Sir Gao has a problem with me."

Barry Diller, who is now focusing on Paramount United Television Network, couldn't help but have a headache when he heard Michael Eisner's words about fighting for power, so he had to patiently reassure him: "The knowledge of group structure setting is very important."

Shen, if Sir Gao is really dissatisfied with you, why would he put you in the important position of president in charge of the film industry?"

"By the way, now that you are the president, you have to be more thoughtful than before. When you appoint your own people, don't be so deliberate, so as not to be gossiped about all the time."

Michael Eisner did not find a "soulmate" in Barry Diller, and was beaten a little. He was very bored. After agreeing listlessly, he made an excuse and left the conference room.
