Chapter 464 (1/2)

After washing and mending, Chris Jenna walks out of the bathroom and sees that Simon has returned to the round table on the terrace. She has a little upset in her heart. You don't have to worry about anything.

Of course, I dare not show it on my face.

In the courtyard, the music and laughter of the party remained the same.

No one seems to have noticed what happened in the past half an hour.

After finishing the skirt of the red low cut dress again, the woman walked over carefully and sat down next to him with the permission of the man's eyes.

Having just observed the angle, she was sitting at the farthest distance from the fence and would not be seen by people downstairs.

Although she doesn't mind and even wants to be seen, smart women obviously know what can and can't be done.

”The project team has arranged an interactive cross between” Beverly's wife ”and” New York's wife ”. In recent days, they have been shooting here. During the day, they met Mr. Friedman when talking about things. He said that there is a party tonight and I will come.”

When she saw that the man was just leaning on the back of his chair and quietly looking downstairs, she didn't mean to chat with her, so Chris Jenna closed her mouth wisely.

Anyway, this ”tiger skin” is enough.

This man does not give, she can not take the initiative to ask for anything.

At least Jonathan Friedman must have known she was here.

A moment later, when Chris Jenna heard the man tell her to have a glass of wine delivered, she knew it was a rush, so she got up and left the terrace.

Because of meeting this woman, Simon just thought of USA TV network.

After the merger last year, through the two series of ”Beverly's wife” and ”New York's wife” launched by USA, USA has successfully transformed into a female TV network.

But that is clearly not enough.

However, in the past year, two major acquisitions and other things have consumed most of Simon's energy. He does not have much time to take into account the development of USA, even MCA records, which he likes very much. All these can only be entrusted to a group of senior executives of the company.

The new year has just begun. It's still a lot of things.

Until now.

After several years of close attention, Denise Entertainment's film business has been very stable, and it is probably the time to turn her energy to other businesses.

Cable TV can still flourish for at least 30 years. In music, although the real record industry will decline rapidly with the rise of the Internet, in the west, where the copyright protection system is very perfect, the record industry will never disappear, nothing more than transformation.

What's more, the major record giants who survived a merger and reorganization in my memory have been making money all the time, although they always claim that life is hard.

In addition, the record industry is still on the eve of the last boom of the 1990s.

Michael Jackson, Madonna and other old celebrities still dominate the singing world. However, in the 1990s, it was the period of the rise of teen pop music.

During this period, a large number of young pop singers, such as backstreet boys, Britney Spears and even spice girls in the UK, have attracted most of the attention of the western music industry and spread this trend all over the world. Until many years later, the South Korean entertainment industry is still continuing the combination model that emerged in Europe and the United States in the 1990s.

In Simon's opinion, the biggest feature of teen popularity is that it can make stars in batches.

The rise of traditional superstars such as Michael Jackson and Madonna has a lot of strength and luck. However, for young pop singers, as long as they have a good bag, their performance quality is not too bad, which is almost enough. The next step is to pack them according to the fixed routine.

Not only that, but there are also some more direct and fast methods, draft.

None of this can be achieved overnight.

After careful consideration, Simon decided to start with USA.

With so much experience of two generations, Simon can easily sort out some rules: the rise of a TV network or media platform often needs a phenomenal TV program. For example, HBO's ”the underworld family” in the late 1990s pushed the TV network to the peak. Later, because of ”house of cards”, Nafi's development also entered the fast lane.

At this stage, there is no trend of American Drama Classics falling out later.

Cable TV networks invest far less energy in TV dramas than in movies.

We have to start from the 1970s.

When Barry Diller worked in ABC television network, he found that it was often too expensive for television network to buy movie rights from Hollywood, so he created a TV movie model. Compared with Hollywood movies, TV movies often cost a lot of money, even hundreds of thousands of dollars can be made, and the cycle is shorter. One movie can be launched every month, and it can also be owned Exclusive premiere feature.

Again, Hollywood is very conservative.

After a business model emerged and proved effective, people flocked to it.

Especially in recent years, with the rise of cable TV, in order to compete for audience resources, TV movies with many advantages are more prosperous. Many Hollywood stars who can't survive on the big screen can switch to shooting TV movies. Even if the pay is not high, it can't bring much popularity, but there are enough opportunities to win.However, in Simon's view, TV film also has its disadvantages that can not be ignored.

The unsustainability of popularity.

When a TV movie is shown several times, the audience will be interested in it, and then turn to the syndicate platform and video channel. After mining the surplus value, it will be gradually forgotten. Relatively speaking, the popularity cycle is very short.

However, the phenomenal TV series are different.

Like ”the underworld family,” like ”house of cards.”.

In my memory, ”the underworld family” has been filmed for six seasons, and HBO has been developing rapidly for six years. Similarly, house of cards has a similar effect.

According to the information in his mind, Simon roughly judged that it was in the late 1990s that the appearance of American dramas such as ”the underworld family” squeezed the living space of TV movies, and further led to the decline of this TV business model.

As for now.

Hollywood, or the American media industry, obviously doesn't realize that.

In short, Hollywood has always been developing. More than ten years ago, now, it is not what many people see in ten or twenty years. Even in Simon's view, before the rise of blockbusters and CG special effects in the 1990s, Hollywood's film industry was not stable. Everyone was just ”taking a chance.”.
