The Goddess Shines on America

Once a career reaches its peak, it will never stop like a wind-up motor. The television network industry is the most typical example. As long as the program cannot be provided on time within the period, paying viewers will easily choose other businesses, and the loss of users is terribly strong. If any news network group wants to be able to provide 24X7 uninterrupted programs, it must have an extremely large extension team to support it.

DreamWorks Dream TV is located in the high-rise area of ​​the Alice Building, and has exclusive use of an entire floor as an office space. Today and weekdays are as busy as ever. Hearing the call from the front desk, the person in charge, Hauske, hurried forward to meet him.

"Miss Alice, Ms. Sophie, welcome to come."

He wiped the sweat from his forehead and said: "Today is a big day, oh, I mean, a lot of people came together. Advertisers, TV drama contracts, Japanese from Warner and Columbia, former CBS newscasters who are looking for jobs, oh my God, please forgive my incoherent speech..."

"Everything, Hauske, I believe that even if you leave this place for a while, it will be able to turn around completely." Sophie calmed him down with gentle words, while Alice strode directly into the office. Today is indeed very lively. If you don't pay attention, you can be bumped into by a small clerk holding a manuscript. You can still hear yelling in the office not far away. It seems that the screenwriter is not satisfied with his salary?

"It seems that our publicity work is doing well." Alice said with a smile: "The dream TV station of Hollywood DreamWorks is officially established, but this group of guys are very excited."

Large companies are picky about their employment, have clear rules and regulations, and the elite will go on to succeed; small companies are full of vitality and potential, and attract countless opportunists. This is the situation here now. Compared with the size of the film company, DreamWorks is of course inferior to the old qualifications of Universal, MGM, etc. This newly established TV network has not officially opened yet, and of course it cannot compete with CBS, ABC and other radio stations. But that's exactly what happened. Didn't those practitioners in related fields at the middle and lower levels of the industry just come forward one after another?

"Sir! Sir, please give me another chance!" Like here, a typical TV screenwriter was kicked out of the house, and Alice reached out and grabbed a passing employee and said, "What's the situation? The company can stipulate that they mail the manuscript Yes, this is?"

"The submission was rejected. If you want to come to the door directly, please move away." The employee gave a short answer, and immediately ran away with a stack of documents.

"Alice, let's go." After a while, Sophie and Director Hauske followed up, and the three walked through the busy public office areas and walked into the target's office together.

"It's so lively!"

As soon as the door was closed, Alice smiled and said, "I really haven't had much contact with news media companies before, Hauske, you are a professional, is everyone like this?"

Norwell Hausker, a veteran who has worked in the TV industry for twelve years, when Alice bought the small TV network during the "87 stock market crash", this old employee took advantage of the opportunity to become the leader Location. After "waiting" for two years, when this small TV network with a market value of only 1 million fans was finally ordered to be included in the Hollywood DreamWorks, he, Hausker, finally made his way to the top.

"It depends." He said modestly. Behind the desk was a panoramic view of Los Angeles at a height of 100 meters. Such a view through floor-to-ceiling windows, but he wanted to keep it with all his might.

"Journalists, in theory, are indeed 24X7. As long as there is something new, we will report back to the station as soon as possible, especially those in the financial field, who are on duty continuously. But in general companies, Let the individual journalists find their own stories and give some results on a regular basis."

Just a simple understanding, Alice is not here to listen to business experience. She just came back from New York three or two days ago, and she is so busy with all kinds of more important things, so she really took some time to look at the TV station. Naturally, the day-to-day operations are handled separately by Lawrence and Hauske. All she needs is a summary report.

"The preparations during this time... The directly affiliated TV stations in Los Angeles, Seattle, Chicago and New York have all been built. So after the official launch, we can basically guarantee that people in the United States can receive the program. Of course, Alaska and Hawaii still cannot. "

On the map, the broadcast range of each directly affiliated TV station is drawn, and there are also a large number of subordinate TV stations that have signed contracts with the company. After all, the development time is pitifully short, and Alice did not continue to invest large sums of money, so the high-end satellite live broadcast is not available to DreamWorks, otherwise, as Hauske said, Alaska and Hawaii can also receive It's time for the show.

"Prepare a detailed quotation from AT\u0026T and send it to my office later." Alice said, "How about the program?"

Hauske then reported. First of all, in terms of TV programs, Alice of course took the time to write the script of "The X-Files", and the things that were filmed and broadcast at the same time, now is the final adjustment period of the crew, which is the work of DreamWorks headquarters. In addition, since Dream TV settled in Alice Building, as she saw when she first came in, a large number of screenwriters are carrying forward their own works, and the accumulation of foundation is obviously not a problem.

"In terms of advertising, Microsoft, Cisco, Oscar \u0026 Hannah have all sent several finished products." When it comes to this, Hauske is not the only one who laughs. "So I have an idea, Miss Alice."

"Speaking."

"For example, let the TV station set up an investigation team to visit and investigate the internal floors of our Alice Building, and shoot a series of various promotional videos for the products of each company or certain brand promotion matters?

Alice agreed without thinking. How important publicity is to the development of an enterprise, how many people in the business world have set an example over the years, and she still has her own experience. Think about those Internet companies in the 21st century, don’t they all throw a lot of financing money into the bidding rankings of search engines? Taking Dream TV as the axis to comprehensively promote her entire career was originally one of the big plans.

"Let's form your team, but be careful not to reflect the existence of the group company too clearly. Each advertisement has its own." Alice pointed out that if it is true that an umbrella is added at the end of each advertisement With the hexagonal LOGO, she has to go to the toilet and cry. Doesn't that clearly announce to the world the establishment of a super-large monopoly consortium?

Although this LOGO is not only in the Roswell Building, it has also been printed on the stone tablet at the entrance of the Alice Building.

Advertisements, and then preparations for TV series headed by "The X-Files", and of course live broadcasts of sports events and news. The current job of the TV station is to finalize the content of the programs. Originally, it was just a small company, but after Alice invested hundreds of millions of dollars, four directly affiliated TV stations have been established nationwide. After two years of slow development, it has been able to improve its hardware facilities. .

Although the market size is definitely not as good as the old qualifications such as CBS and ABC, Alice has no shortage of time in this regard.

At lunchtime at noon, the mother and daughter shared a plate of Chinese food in the staff canteen, and the floor-to-ceiling windows, as usual, had an unobstructed view of the city.

Sophie swallowed a mouthful of rice and said, "If the ratings are acceptable, how many seasons do you plan to make "X-Files"?"

"If this show is really fully developed, at least seven or eight seasons will not be a problem." Alice said with a smile: "It's just the two or three things between the government and aliens. From the perspective of an agent, a wave of aliens It is completely possible to weave a large conspiracy web that runs through history for many years. Then, oh... just accumulate in order, and more aliens are just a matter of how many more webs are compiled. We only need to Just do a good job of connecting with the Internet.”

Absolutely easier said than done, but Sophie completely believes in her daughter's strength, but she still did not forget to remind: "You must not let the plot fall into a cliché, such as the villain dies and lives again, lives and dies again." Live plot, if I really see this bloody plot on TV later, you see how I will deal with you later!"

Alice giggled, and at this stall, her big brick cell phone rang, and she took it out to see that it was the receptionist dialing to the top floor and then broadcasting it to her cell phone.

"Ah, hello... is it Anna?"

Anna's timid voice really sounded on the other side of the phone: "Hi, Miss Wang, there is an unreserved guest who wants to see you."

Calling herself so formally, and being a guest without an appointment, Alice's interest was aroused: "The other party is a man or a woman? Have you informed your name?"

Sophie sat quietly opposite her daughter, watching her with a shocked expression.

"Anna... are you sure?"

After a while, she said quickly: "Please wait a moment, this gentleman, no, just come up directly, I will see him in the office."

Seeing her daughter hang up the phone quickly, Sophie asked curiously, "Who is this sudden visit?"

"A... How should I put it, a very powerful official." Alice cleaned up the leftovers in the bowl at an incredible speed, and quickly wiped her mouth: "You don't have to follow, I'm afraid he can't do it with you around." I can't let it go, anyway, mom, let's see you later."

After finishing speaking, before Sophie could ask any more questions, Alice rushed out of the restaurant in a hurry.

He came directly to the door?

Hearing the other party's name, Alice felt astonished at the first moment. Although Anna reported the person's current apparent identity, Alice didn't think that the other party's apparent business could have anything to do with her.

But what followed was full of ecstasy.
