Chapter 252 Goal: Winning the exclusive broadcast rights of the Olympics
Is Waterworld a bad movie?
Wang Lei doesn't think so. Even after decades, he is still deeply impressed by this film.
A certain score is 7.5, which is better than 87% of science fiction movies and better than 86% of action movies.
In his opinion, Future Water World is an advanced environmental film.
The character creation and background setting are all very valuable, and the portrayal of human nature is particularly realistic.
The special effects and background music are both top-notch, but sadly, this film really hit the market.
"Brother Lei, what's wrong? What do you think is wrong?"
Wang Lei ordered her:
"Tell Kevin Reynolds to come see me this afternoon."
Qi Xiaona nodded slightly happily:
"Brother, I knew you would use him. It would be a pity for such a master to change careers like this."
Wang Lei blinked. Qi Xiaona has been lively and active since she was a child. She probably fell in love with Kevin's wilder shooting style.
"Since Xiaona you think so highly of him, why not give him another chance?"
……
In the office, Michael Davis was playing with his fingers boredly.
He is well-known in the television industry, and was quickly promoted by CBS Group thanks to several excellent gold medal productions.
At only 32 years old, he became the head of the TV series production department.
CBS TV station is rumoring that he will become the president's successor in the future.
But Michael doesn't think so. CBS TV station is very conservative and is often nicknamed the old man's station. The top management is cliquey and the internal competition is fierce. He thinks that he rose to the top based on his own ability and is not suitable for this atmosphere.
If he is unable to integrate, he may never remain in the position of director of the production department.
By chance, he encountered a high-paying recruit from Paramount, who offered him an offer he couldn't refuse - the president of a new business segment, a television station!
Paramount has become famous in the industry in recent years and has developed several movie series, which can be said to have unlimited potential.
The other party is still a new player in the field of television broadcasting, and no one can guarantee what will happen in the future.
It contains unlimited opportunities and risks, and the position of president is an unprecedented challenge for him.
Whether to continue to shine in a familiar position or to go out and give it a try, Michael chose the latter.
He likes challenges and likes to use his talents without restraint.
Paramount, which had nothing in the television field, was his best chance.
After joining the company, he discovered how difficult it was to establish a new TV station.
Fortunately, Paramount's management is very supportive of his work.
I had a great time getting along with President Xue Li, as well as Nita and Jane from the President's office.
But for Paramount's boss, Wang Lei, he had a big question mark in his mind.
The reputation of this son of finance in the news is not very good. Some people say that he is a playboy and bought Paramount just to covert Hollywood actresses.
Paramount's CEO office is full of beautiful women, which makes him convinced of this statement.
The only advantage of such a boss is that he only needs a girl and is willing to be a hands-off shopkeeper, but he may not see anyone for a year and a half.
Being summoned suddenly, Michael was wondering in his mind whether the other party still wanted to discuss business with him.
He, Michael, was not a flatterer, and he would never do anything like doing whatever he wanted to please the other person.
At this moment, Wang Lei and Qi Xiaona walked in, talking and laughing.
Seeing the closeness between the two, Michael felt disgusted from the bottom of his heart. In his opinion, maintaining a pure relationship with his subordinates was a necessary accomplishment for a professional.
But when he thought of Wang Lei's identity, he felt relieved again.
Any rules and restrictions are not applicable to Wang Lei, who is the big boss?
Although Michael looked serious, his eyes betrayed him.
Wang Lei didn't expect that he would be despised by others.
But after looking at the other person's resume at CBS, he is a ruthless person who can make late-night radio a prime segment.
There is indeed such confidence.
"Sir, why did you call me here? There is still a lot of work in the TV station..."
"Michael, don't worry, I invite you here this time just to talk about the new show.
I heard that you want to apply for a grant to win the TV rights to the Atlanta Olympics? "
"Yes, I think broadcasting the Olympics is the best opportunity for our TV station to get into the audience's horizons.
Broadcasting the Olympic Games will not only allow us to earn a lot of advertising fees, but also promote our other new programs to hundreds of millions of viewers in this beautiful country! "
When he said this, Michael's eyes lit up and he was full of confidence.
Wang Lei also nodded secretly, this person is indeed quite capable.
Olympic television rights have always been the magic Midas.
The newly established Paramount Television does lack an opportunity to let the public know about it. Broadcasting the Olympic Games is indeed a good breaking point.
"I approved the plan, but the Olympic broadcasting rights have always been reserved for the three major TV stations, and the bidding prices have remained high..."
Michael's heart skipped a beat. Could it be that the boss was reluctant to spend this little money?
In order to win the broadcast rights of the Calgary Winter Olympics, the ABC TV station that participated in the bidding spent US$3.09 million.
NBC spent $1992 million to acquire the rights to broadcast the 6 Barcelona Olympics.
As the Atlanta Olympics is held in the beautiful country, it is bound to become a top priority for the competition among several major TV stations.
According to Michael's estimate, a budget of at least US$96 million is needed to win the broadcast rights for the 9 Olympics!
President Xueli supports him to fight.
“Now that we have decided to acquire the broadcast rights for Atlanta, we have to take a longer-term view.
How about we buy out the exclusive broadcast rights for the next four Olympic Games and spend huge sums of money to build the Olympic TV Network! "
“Olympic Television Network!!!”
Michael thought of something and got goosebumps all over his body.
He kind of likes this dragon country tycoon who spends a lot of money. He didn't expect this big cultural concept.
If Paramount TV is really bound to Olympic broadcasts for 13 years, their TV station will definitely become one of men's favorite TV stations!
"If the boss wants to buy out the broadcast rights for the four Olympic Games, wouldn't he have to spend at least 40 billion U.S. dollars. Paramount Group's budget..."
Sydney can allocate a budget of 15 billion US dollars to Michael, which is all it has. A budget of 40 billion US dollars is enough to bring down Paramount, which has just started to improve.
Wang Lei waved his hand:
"Don't worry about the budget, I will make an exception and give you enough funds to bid.
When negotiating, you can play a trick and make payment in installments no matter what the total price is. "
Money will depreciate. There is a big difference between giving 15 billion directly in more than ten years and giving 15 billion directly now.
Michael nodded happily, and his impression of Wang Lei, the big boss, also changed greatly.
The other party is indeed a big boss in terms of business operations.
