Chapter 93: Water World Animation Studio
After the end of the day-long inspection of Wald Pictures, Zhu Ke, together with the team of the head office, began the second stop again.
Second stop: UPN Television Network.
It is currently a subsidiary of Zucker, second only to Wald Pictures, and its importance needless to say.
Although Zhu Ke entered and exited the UPN TV network recently and stayed in the program group of "The Talent Show" for a long time, he did not pay much attention to other related departments of UPN TV network.
Taking advantage of this review opportunity, of course, we have to look at the situation of the acquisition of UPN in the past six months.
"Boss, thanks to the popularity of the two ace shows, "SpongeBob SquarePants" and "America's Got Talent", the ratings of other channels on our TV network have also risen a lot, especially the newly launched ones. According to hot news reports, the ratings have broken 1.5%," said the company's executive Alexander Alexander.
Zuke nodded.
Zhuke still knows Alexander, who is the director of the channel department of the UPN TV network.
In recent exchanges, I found that he is a very thoughtful person.
More than two months ago, Zhu Ke communicated with him for the first time, but only mentioned that he has a good impression of Chinese Americans. In addition, Alexander himself is also a member of Russian descent, and he is also a minority in the United States.
Alexander immediately became active!
In just half a month, he planned and prepared a news section aimed at foreign minority groups.
The result was unexpectedly good!
It should be understood that although the news media advertises the principles of fairness, impartiality, and seeking truth from facts, it is often difficult to achieve this due to human manipulation, especially for the Chinese and Asian groups, and many TV media even use this for a long time. joke.
Well, or to be precise, it is basically full of prejudice and discrimination!
For example:
In the 2016 U.S. presidential election, in a debate, because the candidate mentioned the "Great Heaven" 12 times, then Fox TV sent reporters to Chinatown in New York to conduct interviews and interview public opinion.
It's going to be a stroke here.
Mentioned the "Great Heaven" in the debate, so you go to Chinatown?
Is there a fundamental connection between the two?
is like mentioning Mexico. Is it necessary to send someone to interview Taco Bell (fast food restaurant)?
To some extent, Da Tian Dynasty is completely different from Chinatown, okay? !
Another example:
is also a street news interview on Fox TV.
A Satay host wearing a white shirt interviewed Chinese in Chinatown. This is nothing in itself, but your mother specifically interviewed those elderly people who do not understand English, and then asked them their opinions.
What is this Nima called? !
Because they don’t understand English, what can they say when facing the interview camera?
They can only respond in polite ways such as silence, smile, nodding, etc. However, these responses have become videos of the fame of the sinister host.
As soon as the report came out, let alone many overseas Chinese were angry, even many netizens of the Great Heaven Dynasty also cursed the host as a sand sculpture!
(Note: This news was very violent at the time. When the Minister read it for the first time, he was very angry. Even if it was discrimination, he did not engage in it like that.)
Many foreign news media do not follow the principle of seeking truth from facts. They only agree with the principle of "the result you want" and report false news time and time again.
Therefore, when Alexander launched a news program aimed at "Chinese", "Asian", and "minority" groups and upholding the principle of "fairness and justice", it opened the market in one fell swoop and won the favor of many TV viewers.
This is also one of the few popular programs that UPN TV Network has spontaneously formed without Zhu Ke's participation.
Talents can get attention wherever they go.
"Alexander, you did a good job. If you have the opportunity, it is not impossible to transfer you to the head office." Zhuke praised.
Upon hearing this, Alexander was overjoyed immediately.
UPN TV network is good now, but how can it be inferior to working in the head office?
In the following time, the directors of other UPN departments also reported to Zhu Ke.
Especially the person in charge of the advertising department, the corners of his mouth are cracked.
The popularity of "America's Got Talent" has not only caused the advertising department to take a lot of platform broadcast fees, but also the advertising fees of other channels.
Only half a month after the launch of "America's Got Talent", the advertising fees of other channels also increased by 60% year-on-year.
The results are gratifying!
The market value of UPN TV network today is several times higher than when Zhu Ke just acquired it six months ago. Of course, the main reason is that the copyright of "American's Got Talent" is valuable.
This can be eliminated, and CEO Donna is also indispensable. With the popularity of "SpongeBob SquarePants" and her strong personal skills, the overall TV network ratings have risen, the overall operation has become smoother, and she has gotten rid of the debt-laden situation before the acquisition in one fell swoop.
"It is indeed the woman who can serve as the president of Universal Pictures in the original time and space. Even if her current ability cannot keep up with her peak period, it is definitely not bad. It is completely better than many people in the same industry."
Zhu Ke heartily sighed at the same time, there is also reason to believe that UPN will definitely be able to become more and more glorious in the field of American cable TV in the days to come.
......
The third stop of the tour: Water World Animation Studio.
It was originally an animation department under Wald Pictures, but thanks to the achievements of "SpongeBob SquarePants" and Zhu Ke's plan for the future, it became independent and became a subsidiary of Golden Dawn Entertainment Group. .
During his tour of the Water World Animation Studio, Zhu Ke found a lot of newcomers he hadn’t met, hundreds of strange faces.
"Everyone, I am your boss, Zhuke Wald!"
"Many of you are old people who joined the studio when it was founded~www.wuxiaspot.com~ and there are hundreds of newcomers who have joined recently, but I want to tell you, no matter how long you have been in the company, no matter where you are from. , As long as you have ideas and capabilities, then you will surely be able to succeed in Water World Animation Studio!"
"Have you seen the results of "SpongeBob SquarePants"?"
"It has achieved 3% ratings, and within a week after the end of each episode, 60 million viewers can be watched. It is the trump card animation in the American TV animation series today!"
"But, are these you satisfied?!"
"I tell you, this is not our end!"
"The big screen of the theater, the box office charts in North America, and the global sensational movie animation, it is our goal!"
""Finding Nemo"!"
"Yes, I'm talking about "Finding Nemo", it is our first feature-length 3D computer animation, what we have to do now is to complete it together!"
"Think about it, guys. As long as you finish it, then the dollar, reputation, etc. will all follow!"
An inspirational chicken soup speech is enough to make many new people who have joined the animation studio excited for several days.
However, these are actually useless.
Mainly because Zhuke has thought about mouth addiction.
Say a thousand words and ten thousand, no matter how good it is, there is no real dollar. Of course, if Zucker has the fascination ability like a German mustache, it definitely works. However, if Zhu Ke has that kind of ability, then what capital he is doing, he must be a politician early in the morning.
The first update of "" is sent.
Thanks to the book friend Taizong Tang Taizong on the Westward Journey for giving another reward.
