Back To 1995

  Chapter 336 Shrimp

Of course Song Yang understands Andy Lake's thoughts, but big news is not something you can pick up when you go out. news.

   "Lake, I understand what you mean. I also really want the launch of ICNC to use a big news to attract everyone's attention, but this kind of thing is not something that can be obtained immediately!"

   Song Yang looked at Andy Lake, who was about to make a big fight, and said that Andy Lake was a radical news media person who wanted to make big news everywhere.

Let him be the president of ICNC TV station, don't worry about the TV station, it will become an "elderly station", but there will definitely be some stupid news in the future, some news that offends some people, but I want to be the most beautiful cub on the TV station, Offending people is definitely a must. Unless, like the elderly TV station ABC, there is no desire, no one is offended, and only some innocuous news are reported, otherwise as long as some current affairs or trending news is reported, it will definitely offend one party. .

   "The future ICNC TV station can interview and report some special news, send war correspondents, or sponsor some special extreme adventure sports and programs!"

   Song Yang looked at Andy Lake and Williams in front of him and said that Battlefield News is a TV station, the fastest way to attract users. As long as the settlement fee is more, there will always be people who take risks.

   Otherwise, sponsor some adventure sports, such as a certain sports drink, a certain cow, your death is beyond imagination, no, your energy is beyond imagination, and the future ICNC can also sponsor some extreme sports.

Hearing Song Yang's words, Andy Lake couldn't help but light up. Compared with other TV stations, which are all dominated by old men, Song Yang, the new owner of ICNC TV station, obviously won't stick to the old rules, which is in line with Andy · Lake's appetite.

Shaking his head, Andy Lake said to Song Yang, "Boss, I understand what you mean, but if ICNC wants to compete with Fox and CNN, it has to steal everyone's attention. The market for news and TV media is only so big. , if ICNC doesn't compete for the market, users will be taken away by Fox and CNN!"

The market for TV users is right there. The annual revenue from paid TV and TV advertising is more than $70 billion. It looks like a huge cake, but there are too many people who share the cake. It cannot beat other TV stations and media. , can't grab this cake at all.

   Song Yang looked at Andy Lake, who was shining brightly. He could understand what Andy Lake meant. For Song Yang and General Electric, ICNC was also needed to shine.

But again, to make big news, you also need luck. Even if you make news, you have to be prepared. Now, it's only two months before the ICNC grass-roots team starts broadcasting, so I can barely do some talk shows, news, and variety shows. It's alright, making that kind of big news that shakes America is really not something that can be done with a US knife.

  At this moment, the phone in Song Yang's study rang. It was Ulf who called, and Ray Donovan, the "Security Supervisor" of Western Pictures, arrived at the villa first.

Ray Donovan was recruited by Song Yang to Western Pictures, responsible for the safety of the entire Western Pictures project, and by the way, let the "scavenger" keep an eye on the gang of people doing small tricks, this time Ray Donovan too Before the "Matrix" crew, they came to San Jose to see Song Yang.

   "Let him come up!" Song Yang said to Ulf, who was in charge of security.

A moment later, Ray Donovan entered the study, and he was as stern as when he first saw him, but he couldn't tell his emotions, but unlike the first time he saw him, Ray Donovan's complexion was obviously better. a bit.

   Entering the study, Ray Donovan nodded towards Song Yang and stood aside like a sculpture.

Ray Donovan's identity has also changed since he accepted the invitation of the "Security Director" and consultant of Western Pictures. It is not the same as before. He is a person who can't appear in the public in the underworld of Hollywood and Los Angeles. With the status of the director of Western Pictures, now Ray Donovan has been able to bring his wife and children to the big and small Hollywood parties. For Ray Donovan, this is the biggest One of the changes!

   "I will call on the relationship in the media industry and try to let ICNC get a big news." Williams said on the side, wanting to start from the media industry and get some "secret stories" of Hollywood or powerful figures to break the news.

  Andy Lake also said, "Maybe the bonus should be raised!"

This is to use a high bonus to attract some people to break the news. Under the heavy reward, there must be a brave man. In America, the money is given, and there is nothing that can’t be taken out. You can sell yourself to yourself. occur.

Ray Donovan, who had been standing in the corner, suddenly said, "I heard news that Jeffrey Wegener, a senior manager of a tobacco company, has recently resigned from a tobacco giant, and he has a Regarding the report on nicotine in tobacco, Wegener is looking for the media to expose this experimental report!"

   Ray Donovan, who had always been taciturn, suddenly spoke up, causing Song Yang to be stunned for a moment. He took a deep look at Ray Donovan, but Andy Lake, who heard the news, lit up.

As a media person, Andy Lake sniffed out this incident. There must be something strange. The American tobacco industry has already heard all kinds of bad news, but they all rely on their wealth to lobby Capitol Hill, plus The big samurai knife has blocked the mouth of the media industry, which has prevented a lot of bad news from spreading.

   "Can this Jeffrey Wegener be found?!" Andy Lake asked Ray Donovan.

  Ray Donovan got his eyes and looked towards Song Yang. As a "scavenger", he naturally had his own channels and ways to get news.

The reason why I say this today is also because of Song Yang. Song Yang gave Ray Donovan a new identity, so that he and the entire Donovan family can start over. Ray Donovan regards Song as Yang is "his own person", otherwise according to his character, he would not say a word more.

  Andy Lake and Williams' eyes also turned to Song Yang at this time. Song Yang's attitude at this time was related to the attitude of the entire ICNC news in the future. Whether to pretend to be invisible, or to make a wave of things.

Hearing nicotine, Song Yang vaguely guessed something, which is probably related to the lifeblood of the entire America's tobacco industry. The matter of nicotine is not a secret in the medical and academic industries, but it is not a secret to public opinion and the media. The effect of nicotine on the human body has never been disclosed to the public.

If ICNC reports on nicotine, it will definitely be a sensation in America, or even in the world, but what we have to face is the targeting of American tobacco giants, all companies in the Tobacco Association, and even global tobacco companies. Taiwan hated to the bone.

If the ICNC newspaper did not report this incident, just in Song Yang's thought, it was to make ICNC famous in one fell swoop, but it may cause a lawsuit of billions of dollars. Over there, I got a huge "non-disclosure agreement compensation fee".

  Andy Lake also stared at Song Yang closely. Song Yang's decision will let him know whether ICNC is where he wants to stay, and what kind of media sponsor Song Yang is.

  Ray Donovan didn't say a word, waiting for Song Yang's decision. If Song Yang wasn't going to intervene in this matter, then Ray Donovan wouldn't care about it anymore.

Song Yang couldn't help rubbing his brows. Ever since he came to America, Song Yang didn't know how many people he had offended, but as Andy Lake said, the cake was so big, if he didn't go up to grab it, he would be killed. Someone else stole it.

As for the tobacco industry, it is of course a behemoth. To a certain extent, if you would rather offend the Trade Commission, or even the judiciary and other departments, then maybe your life will be better. It is necessary to have a face, and the interior is not monolithic, after all, there is an opportunity to take advantage of it.

   But the tobacco industry, the military-industrial complex, the medical complex, etc., they can do anything, and they can do anything urgent.

But on second thought, ICNC TV is not owned by Song Yang's family. The sky is falling, and there is still a tall one, General Electric, Microsoft, Comcast, and then the entire American media industry will be pulled up. Who will suffer the loss of dumbness at that time, maybe that time.

   Even if you die, you still have to take a backseat, right? If you drag on to a lawsuit, even if it is a lawsuit of billions of dollars, it will be easier, and it will be a big deal.

   And if relying on this matter, ICNC TV can become the most "just" TV station in America, and it may not take a few years to become the TV station with the highest ratings in America in one or two years.

   Once the merger is completed, whether it's a lawsuit or something else, it's really nothing.

   "Let the people from Blackwater Security follow along to deal with this matter. If the tobacco group is involved, I don't think it will be so easy!"

If the nicotine matter is really exposed, Song Yang feels that he still needs Blackwater Security to send someone to protect Jeffrey Wegener, otherwise I'm afraid I won't be able to wait. Maybe you've lost your game.

   Hearing that Song Yang asked ICNC to report the incident, Andy Lake couldn't help but be shocked, "I'll go meet Jeffrey Wegener as soon as possible!"

Since he wants to do it, Song Yang is not afraid of doing it. Anyway, the tobacco industry cannot advertise. The TV industry spends tens of billions of dollars in advertising fees every year. ICNC and even Song Yang's side, after this time, and the companies behind the American Tobacco Association are basically dead enemies, and they are not afraid of provoking anything.

   "After this program is finished, if the effect is good, you can adapt this incident into a movie, called "Shocking Insider" or something like that, and let the world remember this incident!"

   was still a little worried about Williams. Hearing this, he took a deep breath. Song Yang is disgusting for those companies, and he will be nailed to the pillar of shame for the rest of his life!
