Chicago 1990

Chapter 612

After the short documentary came out, the external response was good. BET has the credibility of the black community and the Chicago Tribune in the print media. Together with the local WGN TV station in Chicago, the coverage is generally good. After that, CUU contacted BET and wanted to buy the broadcast of the video material. And the re-editing rights are put into their in-depth news section, which is even more good news for Song Ya.

"BET is only ranked in the early twenties in the cable TV station, and CUU is the undisputed number of subscribers and influence on the cable TV station."

The Christmas holiday is approaching, and the managers of its businesses have all come to Chicago for a meeting. After the meeting, Song Ya happily praised another proud work of her crisis public relations, "Ilay, I don't know what to do without you."

It’s the second time to clean up yourself. This short film at least led the media’s discussion in the “right” direction. The subsequent release of the ban on relational media reports generally continued this route, reflecting on the problems of the black community itself, and blaming the whites for their resources. Not enough, and then review the rap circles, especially the bad habits of the bandit rap circles, coupled with the legendary story of Sinaloa’s crazy killings, cherish the memory of the FBI detectives, and the grievances of singers in the three major cities of the United States, depth and compulsion. , Gossip is also pretty good.

For a time, the rhythm brought by VIBE magazine was perfectly reversed, and the hero Eli stood up proudly and greeted gracefully.

At the end of the meeting, a group of people went downstairs to participate in the party, "Scott, A+ Apparel only has a small dividend this year. There must be no mistakes in the expansion plan next year. As a major shareholder, I am under a lot of pressure."

Song Ya and Scott talked as they walked, "Especially Mimi and I paid millions of endorsement fees from the company."

A+ Apparel has made a lot of money this year, but the dividends are still not very high. This year, the endorsement fees for him and Mariah Carey are settled at market prices. The other small and medium shareholders except Wal-Mart are Hayden, Song Asheng and others. Song Ya is not willing It happened again that he fell out with Roberto Clever from a good friend to a stranger.

"Don't worry, the company's operations are healthy and cautious." Scout made a package.

"Well, I believe you. I promised some media ads for next year. Are you okay?"

"It's a bit stressful, but it should be able to cope. It's not a bad thing to advertise more."

The two of them walked to the buffet table and ran into Samuel and O'Grady. After Samuel became the vice president of customer service at Beimi, he rarely met with Song Ya. The general accounting business was lost to Chicago. His Yongdao office handles it, but Song Ya, the client, will not lose it, so he occasionally comes back to exchange feelings.

"APLUS, congratulations to you and Miss Kelly on the sale of records."

This year, the soundtrack of My Life was sold late, so it did not make it to the top of the annual chart. However, Mariah Carey’s music box album was the second in total sales in 1994, second only to AceOfBase’s TheSign.

On other summary lists, Fujibi estimated that he earned 150 million yuan in income in 1994 and was undoubtedly ranked first as a singer. They even began to discuss whether he should be included in the list of the richest in the rice. , The current threshold to enter that list only needs more than 300 million yuan.

He also entered the American entertainment power list selected by the Hollywood Reporter for the first time, ranking 38th in the 100 list.

"Are you going to post a second album next year? Are the songs ready too?"

O'Grady of Northern Trust saw his saliva dripping, "Why don't you invest the cash again? You will lose a lot of money during the tax season."

"The second master is still a secret."

Song Ya blinked playfully, "I don't know where to go, do you have any good suggestions?"

"Ha, I'm eager for you to reveal some opportunities to me." O'Grady smiled self-deprecatingly, "Sorry, Apple's stock price has gone wrong, and it is still hovering near your cost line of one and three."

"Stop talking about these unhappy things, oh yes, speaking of opportunities, are there opportunities in the television industry?"

Song Ya took the opportunity to ask him and Samuel,

He put out a lot of blood for this crisis public relations, mainly because he talked with Scott before, put advertisements on some TV stations and paper media, and sold TV stations through MC. He thought that he could just get one by himself. Even if you don't make money, you can have a lot of say in the media industry, just like the potential influence of the American music magazine in the music circle, which loses money every year.

"All for the telecommunications bill."

Samuel analyzed: "It is estimated that the bill will be submitted to the Senate for deliberation before the middle of next year. Although the specific provisions have not been implemented yet, depending on the actions of major companies, we should prepare for the fierce competition after the bill takes effect. So... "

He poured cold water on Song Ya, “I’m afraid it’s a bit late to enter the market now. It is estimated that there will only be some major players left in the cable TV industry.”

"That's it." Song Ya nodded thoughtfully.

"But you just mentioned Comcast, if you want to get a TV station, they have a chance. In the field of cable TV, they only have more than 4 million users and lack channel resources, so they are eager to imitate TCI's 500 stations. The plan is to provide users with a richer choice. They need TV stations, the more the better, so they don’t hesitate to pay a high premium for the acquisition."

Samuel said: "Moreover, Comcast is in a leading position in the laying of TV and network cable and optical cables. Their main investment is actually there. With this unique advantage, their number of cable TV users is expected to continue to grow this year. The stock has just gone public and is very popular."

"But now the opportunity to buy TV stations has been lost. Major companies are expanding, and there is no cheap choice."

Seeing Song Ya's interest, O'Grady kindly warned: "According to their actions, it is not difficult to guess that the telecommunications bill will tend to open up competition, which is also in line with the economic policy of the current chief. So... there are opportunities, but The risk is greater."

"I'll just ask."

There was a disagreement between the two of them. Song Ya listened to them arguing for a while, and felt that there was a quarrel, and quickly changed the topic, "If competition is allowed, will the status of the three major wireless TV networks be challenged?"

"Of course, ABC is likely to fall behind. The Turner Network, where CUU is located, and the Fox Network, where FOX is located, have the best chance to replace it."

Samuel said: "So next year, Metropolitan Communications, which owns ABC, is likely to sell it to Disney, otherwise it will inevitably fail in the competition with emerging forces."

O'Grady also agreed on this point, “FOX is okay, CUU is a beast in a cage. Their unique 24-hour news station model has established a good authority. If it is approved by the telecommunications bill from Turner Television Network All the major channels of the three major TV networks are unable to compete."

"Who will watch the news twenty-four hours?"

Song Ya actually doesn't watch CUU very often. Now NBC, CBS, and ABC's integrated channels all have news on the hour in the morning, midnight and evening, and then show TV dramas during prime time, followed by variety shows and talk shows, and show old movies late at night. What's more, rich in content and much more interesting.

"Maybe people don’t stare at it often, but the user’s needs are there. Most people can just press the remote control when they want to watch the news. I feel that as long as they can order CUU, no one is unwilling to order it at home. Come on, so I agree with O'Grady on this matter that CUU is a beast in a cage."

Samuel said: "The world moves around 24 hours a day. No channel can fight the timeliness and authority of the 24-hour news station. By then, the three major wireless stations will have an influence on the American people, especially politics. The influence of tendencies will be greatly weakened, and the owners behind the three major channels are certainly not happy to see this happening."

"Yes, CUU already has a very complete global news system. The live-streaming of the Gulf War has greatly increased their subscriber numbers. It is the only U.S. television station allowed to continue activities within the country after the war." O'Grady supplement.

"What? Do the Iraqis have a tendency to be abused?" Song Ya was shocked. "CUU broadcasts our bombing of their troops. They still allow CUU to operate in the country?"

"There must always be an external communication channel. Saddam believes in the neutrality and objectivity that CUU has always advertised." O'Grady replied.

Samuel smiled, "In fact, Saddam didn't know. CUU would like us to beat him up again. Otherwise, how can we repeat the good thing about the soaring number of subscribers? A peaceful Middle Eastern country can't bring big news."

"Tsk tsk..."

Song Ya repeatedly wondered, "So how will the three major wireless stations deal with this beast that will be released soon."

"There is no good way. It is estimated that I will also get a competing product to deal with it. The three major stations are already very old and the internal operation is extremely inefficient. If you don't inject fresh blood and vitality, it will be difficult in the future..."
