472 Chapter 467 Good News (seeking subscription, votes) (1/2)
Nowadays, in the era of algorithms and information flow, all show a truth: premium ”subscription”.
And if you are more careful, you will find that the development of human civilization always revolves around two most primitive desires:
Breed and kill!
Perhaps it is sex and violence in detail.
The content creation of the film and television industry cannot do without these two most important thematic elements from the day it was developed.
Godard said: ”Give me a gun for a girl and I can make a movie.”
Although exaggerated, there is no doubt that sex and violence hide countless story inspirations and are also inexhaustible material.
HBO is perhaps the most well-versed platform.
From ”The Sopranos”, ”The Wire”, ”The Brotherhood”...
HBO interprets their brand advertising with one after another fine American TV series-this is not an A movie, but HBO.
Since its inception in 1972, they have used the charm of countless dramas to attract nearly 25 million subscribers, accounting for 80% of the US pay TV channel market.
This means that for every ten paid TV subscribers, at least eight have watched HBO.
Rough calculations, HBO can earn more than 2 billion per year for subscription money alone (users have to spend 10 to 15 dollars a month on the basic package fee of tens of dollars to watch HBO's solo episodes) .
This means that without relying on advertisers, HBO can continue to flourish as long as they fully meet the viewing needs of subscribers.

Compared with the layman's attitude towards these data, everyone here can more intuitively appreciate the meaning of such achievements.
After all, the ”FireWire” series was HBO's trump card series last year, and it will continue to be produced this fall, with less than 20 million users following the series.
But ”The Walking Dead”, this is only the first episode, surpassing the achievements of the resource tendency of ”FireWire” in the past two years.
Only for a while, he seemed to see the shadow of ”Brothers” that brought HBO to the next level...
In terms of filming costs, ”The Walking Dead” does not have so many war scenes. It saves a lot of money and may have more profits.
Of course, it is no longer a measure of profit.
What HBO needs is brand influence, which is similar to Disneyland's golden sign in real estate...
”Can you elaborate on it? The statistics are clearer.” Someone suddenly raised his head and asked with wide-eyed eyes.
The appearance of some gaffes is also the inner portrayal of some executives.
Only the first CEO frowned in peace...
The person continued to report: ”The average ratings of the first episode were 6.1, and the highest statistic exceeded 6.4, and the signs of decline are very stable.”
