Hollywood Hunter

Of course, if you can catch a certain man, you may be a hundred times faster.

After patiently observing for a long time, after the meal, I finally found an opportunity that I thought I could be alone. I quietly followed up and came to a lounge where the front and middle cabins of the plane bordered, only to find that the man was stopped by another woman, but Jerry. · Hall.

Hidden in the corridor and didn't get up again, but didn't return, curious to see what the two would do.

Even can't help but give birth to some different thoughts.

The two did not do anything, although she obviously felt that if the man took the initiative, the woman who did not belong to her body and temperament would definitely eagerly cater to it, but the couple just chatted casually. Until the end, the woman seemed to whisper a few words about the incomprehensible manners of the man, and also said her address in Manhattan.

Then there was a vague whisper.

And some other sounds.

I didn't dare to look at it, but I could imagine where the crisp slap was hitting.

Accompanied by the woman's anger, the man smiled and left.

When the matter was over, Naja Allman only stayed for a few seconds, and a figure as tall as her flashed over, without the slightest guilty conscience, and pushed her close to the wall: "Have you heard enough? "

Wanting to threaten a few words, the woman grabbed her chin aggressively and kissed her.

Suddenly a little confused.

After a full minute, when the reaction came, the woman had already left with a smile, and she also left a very disapproving "little chick".

Somewhat frustrated.

I regret that I was too weak just now.

When you can overlook the outline of the East Coast of the United States through the porthole, Naja Allman felt that the eight-hour flight seemed very short.

Arrived in New York, the east coast of the United States was still more than 11 o'clock in the morning on September 30.

Because of New York Fashion Week and Fashion TV, Simon planned to spend a few days on the East Coast. The couple and most of the others disembarked in New York.

However, some people are going to Los Angeles and will set sail again later.

The people who got off the plane left the airport through the VIP channel, and everyone said goodbye again and started to go their separate ways.

Of course, the main destination is definitely Manhattan.

Then, Naja Allman also noticed the gap between these people again.

The Westeros have a dedicated team. Madonna also has her own full-time driver. Others are either the company sent the car or the hotel picks it up. She herself, because she forgot to communicate with the company in advance, was embarrassed to hitchhiker. In the end, when everyone left, she could only go quietly to take a taxi, and waited a full half an hour to catch it.

When the taxi finally drove out of JFK International Airport, she even had a faint feeling of crying while sitting in the carriage.

I feel like a princess in trouble.

Just enjoying the crowds of thousands of people in the palace, he lost everything in a blink of an eye and ended up in a slum.

At a certain moment, the idea of ​​climbing up regardless of everything became more determined.

The four major fashion weeks back to back, today is the first day of the opening of New York Fashion Week.

As a domestic luxury brand, CK's fashion show is scheduled for Saturday, October 3rd.

After getting off the plane, everyone rushed to their destinations, and the Simons rushed to their apartment on Fifth Avenue.

I talked to Sofia about Vogue TV in Milan last night, and Simon sent an email to Robert Iger in New York before going to bed.

The second day is Thursday, October 1.

Officially enters October.

In the morning, I arrived at Daenerys Entertainment's East Coast headquarters in Greenwich, Manhattan, and officially discussed with Robert Iger about fashion television.

In Western countries with relatively loose media controls, the establishment of TV stations is not as high-end as expected.

Even some private individuals can transmit TV signals on their own, just like Mike Myers did in "Wisdom Fighting", a studio located in a basement or garage, a set of TV signal transmitters, nothing more. There are even more underground stations in the West.

Of course, if you want to conduct commercial operations, you also need to apply for a formal TV license.

However, it is actually very easy to apply for a TV license.

It's just that it will be more difficult afterwards.

Operating a TV station is definitely very expensive, and it also requires sufficient resources and channels.

These are not a problem for Daenerys Entertainment now.

Simon has been more inclined to acquire TV stations in the past, but at this stage, there is no fashion TV station of a relatively large scale. If acquisition is adopted, it will inevitably be a joint stock with other companies, and the gains and contributions are not proportional.

So I intend to start from scratch.

After two days of detailed discussions, Simon and Iger also roughly confirmed a set of plans.

The name of the TV station does not need to be considered too much. Since the original FashionTV has not yet been established, Simon directly used it and asked the Daenerys Entertainment team to apply for the FashionTV trademark in various major countries.

Next.

The first is to form a team for the TV station.

The television industry in the United States is very developed and has a rich talent pool. It is not difficult to find a person in charge who is suitable for gradually establishing a fashion television station.

In the process of discussing with Simon, Iger had already found several alternative candidates.

Of course, more detailed contact is needed in the follow-up to confirm the other party's ideas and salary plan.

A more meticulous operation team will also begin to be formed at the same time, such as the programming department, marketing department, advertising department, etc. Some businesses can be directly handled by the existing team of Daenerys TV for the time being.

After confirming the team, it is to create a program list, contact the channel operator, try to contact potential advertisers, and so on.

These follow-up work are relatively detailed and fragmented.

However, FashionTV will basically refer to the operating mode of existing sports TV stations.

The more successful ESPN and other sports TV stations in the United States mainly contain various advertisements.

For FashionTV, the main broadcast content will be various fashion shows.

The fashion weeks that ordinary people are more familiar with are often the four major fashion weeks in spring and autumn each year, but in fact, there are definitely thousands of fashion shows held every year around the world.

Unlike the broadcasting rights of sports events that require huge purchases, the copyright of fashion shows is biased towards news. In order to pursue their own exposure, fashion brands cannot ask TV stations for the broadcasting costs of fashion shows, just as they cannot ask magazines. The cost of reporting on your own brand show is the same, and sometimes it even has to be posted backwards.

This gives FashionTV a content cost advantage that far exceeds that of sports channels.

On the basis of a large number of fashion shows, FashionTV will also develop fashion-related commentary programs, talk shows, news programs and so on.

Developed to a certain scale, FashionTV can also organize its own exclusive fashion competitions or awards, just like MTV music awards, which can further expand its influence.

In terms of channels, FashionTV will mainly broadcast through cable and satellite platforms.

By doing so, the audience can be more accurately positioned. Cable and satellite TV users are relatively more likely to accept such professional fashion programs.

With Daenerys Entertainment's current strength, North America's Comcast, Warner Cable, Telecom and other mainstream cable operators will not refuse the television stations established by Simon himself.

Simon also plans to launch this TV station in Europe at the same time.

Cooperation partners in this area are also readily available.

Sky Broadcasting, a subsidiary of News Corporation, although the cable and satellite TV operator is headquartered in London, its user base covers most countries in Europe.

The plan is finalized, but preparations cannot be done overnight.

It is now October 1992. The preliminary plan is that FashionTV will start broadcasting in February next year. With five months of preparation time, it will coincide with the spring of 1993 Fashion Week.

The Simons stayed in New York until Sunday.

Finalized the basic plan of FashionTV, participated in the fashion show of CK, and returned to Los Angeles on Sunday afternoon.

For Hollywood, the key project "Cry Game" selected by Simon himself by Gaomen Films was opened on September 25 with a small scale of 37 screens in North American theaters.

This excellent political thriller drama has won unanimous praise from the North American media. After the opening of the painting, the comprehensive film review score reached 9.4 points.

If this is the case, "The Crying Game" may not attract much response from the audience.

What ultimately made the film’s reputation and popularity technology spread was the reverse setting of the "heroine" in the film that turned out to be a man.

The Gaomen Pictures team also cleverly adopted a mysterious marketing strategy.

Under the operation of the publicity team, most film critics, while expressing their approval of the film, also implicitly mentioned the "Great Reversal" in the film.

Just like the original "Sixth Sense of Supernatural".

This reversal has gradually attracted the attention of more and more people.

From September 25 to October 1st, the first week of the painting, "Cry Game" made 1.26 million US dollars on 37 screens in North America, and the museum averaged more than 34,000 US dollars.

As the word-of-mouth and popularity of the film continued to spread, the number of film screens increased to 86 in the second week, but the museum average still reached 31,000 US dollars. From October 2 to October 8, the week continued to receive 2.67 million US dollars.

Within two weeks of its release, the cumulative box office of "Crying Game" has reached $3.93 million.

The production cost of this movie is only 3 million US dollars.

In other words, in only two weeks, the box office of "Cry Game" has exceeded the budgeted cost.

However, everyone found that this is obviously just the beginning.

In the third week that opened on October 9th, in order to maximize the curiosity of the audience, Gaomen Films still did not launch a large-scale painting, and the number of screens only increased to 155.

In the plan, the scale of the screening next week will not expand too much, and will still remain within 200 yuan.

Four weeks later, when the audience's expectations for "Crying Game" reach the highest level, Gaomen Pictures will increase the film's screening scale to around 500 yuan, and then this screening scale will continue throughout the end of the year until the awards season.

As a low-cost independent film with a partial genre, it cannot be rolled out like a commercial film after all.

This long-winded distribution strategy is the most correct.

Simon returned to Los Angeles and began to pay attention to Daenerys Entertainment's release plans for several film schedules at the end of 1992. At the same time, the 1992 US presidential election also entered the final stage.

When the current President George Bush and his opponent Bill Clinton started the final game, the biggest variable of the 1992 election appeared again.

On October 12, the third-party independent candidate Rose Perot, who announced his withdrawal from the presidential election three months ago, suddenly publicly announced that he would rejoin this year's presidential election.

Rose Perot pointed the finger directly at George Bush this time, condemning the White House for manipulating the FBI to destroy her daughter's wedding.

After announcing his withdrawal in July, although Rose Perrot disappointed a large number of voters who supported him, his popularity has always been there.

Moreover, under the operation of a caring person, the news about his possible comeback has not been interrupted during the months of Perot's withdrawal, which also largely guaranteed Perot's popularity.

Now, rejoining the election, although Perot has encountered strong criticism from the conservative media, he has quickly regrouped a large number of supporters.

On the other hand, after announcing his re-election, Rose Perot also showed a very clear pertinence.

There is only one month left to vote in the final general election.

However, in this month, Perot's campaign lobbying plans have basically been gathered in states and counties where George Bush's approval ratings are leading, such as Florida and Texas.

For a discerning person, the purpose of doing this could not be more obvious.

This is a conservative, and Rose Perrot will undoubtedly further dilute George Bush's votes in these states and counties where he is already in a dominant position.

At the same time, in the last month, the media offensive of the major camps has also become more fierce.

Now that the team has been selected, as the Igreat portal for almost the entire Internet user group at this stage, Bill Clinton has also shown a clear tendency during this period.

In the Eaglet information section, anyone who is more attentive can find that the news about Bill Clinton far exceeds that of George Bush. Not only that, but many of the news about Bush are negative.

After more than half a year of rapid development, the current number of Internet users in the United States has exceeded 24 million.

Therefore, even if they are no longer sensitive to the rise of Internet media platforms, the Bush team has realized the disadvantages and began to adopt various methods to try to require the Eaglet Portal to show its due neutrality.
