Cheng Long was surprised when he heard that Xia Tian wanted to make himself the male lead.

I remember when he went to Hollywood to film, he went through many troubles and went through several interviews alone.

I took a plane over ten hours and saw it there for people to take a look. It was not more than ten minutes before and after, and then I took a plane back for more than ten hours. A first-tier star in East Asia was called by those Hollywood producers and lingered, just like a three-grandson.

But now, in a word from Xia Tian, ​​the male protagonist fell on his head. It was so simple, so direct, so easy, it was really great.

"But Ah Long, Mr. Xia also said that this movie has two requirements..." Zou Wenhuai then told Cheng Long the original words.

Cheng Long was stunned when he heard that he would not let himself play kung fu in the movie. You should know that kung fu is his signature. If you don’t play kung fu, what else can you watch?

Learning English was even more terrible for him. When he was filming "Skyd", "Killer Trench" and "Detective of the Viagra", he also stayed in the United States for a while. Although everyone around him spoke English, he was influenced by it every day, but he still didn't learn a few words.

He learned first-class kung fu and designed the complex moves, he could tell how to play it after reading them twice. However, learning English is different from learning kung fu, and he didn't think so at all. After staying in the United States for almost a year, he only learned a few daily words.

"Along, if you think these two requirements don't matter, then I'll reply to Mr. Xia and ask him to keep this role for you." Zou Wenhuai said again, "If you don't think it's OK, then let's look for another opportunity."

"No, I agree." Cheng Long waved his hand quickly.

I had even made three grandsons to develop in Hollywood before, but now these two requirements are what are the requirements? Besides, these two requirements are not unreasonable. If I still talk badly, I will be greedy and swallow the elephant.

"Then let it be. I'll help you find an English teacher to tutor you right away. If you don't have a chance, you'll be fine. Let's see your sincerity." Zou Wenhuai nodded and said, "Along, this time I can go to Hollywood to develop, there is a rare opportunity. You must perform well."

"Don't worry, Mr. Zou, I will definitely not embarrass you." Cheng Long said immediately, "And even if I make a name in Hollywood, I am still a member of Jiahe and will never be a traitor!"

"I'm saying it's too far, I hope you have a good future." Zou Wenhuai smiled with relief when he heard him say this.

...

In the summer, I sent Lang Mayer to talk to Ted Turner, chairman of Turner Broadcasting Corporation.

Two days later, Long Mayer replied, and Ted Turner refused the summer acquisition request. He was very satisfied with the current development of Turner Broadcasting Corporation and was full of hope for its future prospects, so he did not intend to give it to others.

"Since that's the case, let's talk to the cable company and see if they are interested in selling it." Xia Tian then said to Long Mayer.

He has also collected some information about Ted Turner in the past few days, knowing that this person is a stubborn donkey, unable to take him away, and regress. He is also very business-minded and adventurous, and is a very difficult person to deal with.

When Ted Turner took over his father's company, it was just a small company responsible for outdoor advertising. But Ted Turner used mergers of weak opponents and conception of new ideas to gradually lead Turner Advertising Company to a new level and become the most well-known advertiser in the local area.

He then acquired a local radio station, sold advertisements through radio stations, and then used the advertising fees he earned to acquire radio stations. In two years, he had already won nine radio stations and became a well-known radio station king, with a booming income.

He then acquired a TV station on the verge of bankruptcy, and formed a Turner Media Group with his advertising company and radio stations. He still put it on the market without cash reserves, which shows his ability.

When he runs a TV station, he is also ingenious. When other TV stations play churchgoers every Sunday morning, he goes the other way and plays TV series. When other TV stations play news programs in the evening, he starts playing movies again...

It is this unique program arrangement that has made his TV station's ratings increasingly high and become the highest-rated TV station in the local area. But no matter how high the ratings are, the impact is limited to one place.

Ted Turner has no money to build signal towers across the country like NBC, ABC, and CBS, and spread his program signals across the country, which made him very unwilling to accept it.

However, in 1975, things finally turned around. That year, the American radio company RCA launched the world's first communication satellite, and since then, the TV signal can be transmitted all over the world with the help of satellites.

Ted Turner immediately saw hope. In 1976, his TV station signal passed through satellites to two million households in forty-seven states, and it also surged at a rate of 50,000 households every month.

This doubled the value of his TV station overnight, soaring to 40 million US dollars. In comparison, when he acquired it before, he only spent 2.5 million US dollars.

In 1980s, Ted Turner defeated the public and founded the famous CNN CNN.

Before that, when everyone heard that he was going to start a TV station that broadcasts news for 24 hours a day, they were all sarcastic and thought he was crazy.

As we all know, it is not profitable to do TV news at all. News programs have always been a public service to comply with the Federal Communications Commission's regulations. Turner has to do news, and it is broadcast in a 24-hour rolling manner and profit. Isn't this the biggest joke in the world? Some people even commented: "The era of Turner's sober navigation has passed."

But Ted Turner was not moved by the cold words of the outside world, and sold his money, and raised 35 million US dollars to found CNN. As expected, CNN soon suffered a loss. It cost 30 million US dollars in a month, and soon Ted Turner suffered a huge debt of 250 million US dollars.

But Ted Turner did not give up. While streamlining his manpower and eliminating redundant staff, he boldly received and expanded his capital. He finally ushered in a turning point in the 1981st. At that time, he was assassinated with the president, and CNN reported first, and finally became a hit.

In 1986, the Challenger Aircraft crashed, and CNN was also the only live TV station, which dwarfed NBC, CBS, and ABC. Therefore, CNN's reputation became more and more famous and profits began to increase greatly. At this time, people finally saw the value of CNN and admired Ted Turner's long-term vision.

Ted Turner not only has outstanding business vision, but also has a great courage. In the 1981, RCA (American Radio Company, a giant) failed to launch a communication satellite, but it refused to sell satellite transponders that can broadcast CNN programs. In this way, the new CNN will face premature death, and the 35 million investment invested by Ted Turner will be gone.

At this time, Ted Turner fought against the enemy and sued RCA in court, accusing it of violating the contract and demanding to allocate a forwarder to CNN, otherwise it would compensate CNN for its losses of 35 million US dollars. That is his investment.

At that time, no one was optimistic about the lawsuit. Because RCA was a giant in the communications industry, Ted Turner was just a little famous rich man. In front of RCA, he was as small as an ant.

But Ted Turner was not scared, but fought unremittingly. After a difficult struggle, RCA finally compromised and sent a forwarder to CNN so that its signal could be transmitted throughout the world.

And confronting RCA is nothing, Ted Turner even confronted Baigong.

In history, the United States has set up a Hundred Palaces Press Corps, and only large media companies are allowed to enter. This is a privilege and is firmly controlled by the three major TV networks.

Ted Turner knew that if he wanted to strengthen CNN and increase its popularity, he had to join the Hundred Palaces Press Group. In order to interview the most valuable news as soon as possible, otherwise he could only follow the three major TV networks to eat dust and pick up other people's reports. However, his request to join the Hundred Palaces Press Group was rejected very arrogantly by Hundred Palaces.

In a rage, Ted Turner sued Hundred Palaces in court, accusing it of establishing Hundred Palaces reporters of violating the Fair Trade Act, and also listed President Li and Secretary of State Heg as defendants.

After eight months of long lawsuits, the law finally gave Ted Turner a fairness. CNN reporters allowed to enter the Hundred Palaces for interviews and won a seat in senior journalists. Ted Turner won again!

...

From the above things, we can see that this guy is really not a good person. He is smart, courageous, and has a good vision. Therefore, it is not easy to fight with him, and you must be prepared for a long-term battle.

Although Xia Tian coveted the assets of Turner Broadcasting Corporation, time waited for no one. If he could not make plans in cable TV for a long time, he would have to fall behind in the end.

China's century-old humiliation tells the Chinese people a profound truth, that is, if you fall behind, you will be beaten. This is like this in a country, a nation, and a company. So in summer, I can only give up Turner Broadcasting Company first and start with the idea of ​​Rainbow Media first.

Although Rainbow Media is not as well-known as Turner Broadcasting Corporation, its assets are also very delicious.

AMC TV has produced many good programs in his previous life, such as "Breaking Bad", "Mad Men" and "The Walking Dead" all launched by it. Not only has a good reputation, but its ratings are also quite high.

SPORTS-CHANNEL, the earliest sports channel in the United States, followed by Fox Sports Channel, Concoster Sports Channel, etc., all followed it.

Americans like sports very much, such as ice hockey, basketball, rugby, hockey and other events, have very high ratings in the United States. Therefore, SPORTS-CHANNEL is also of great value.

In addition, Playboy Channel is also a well-known adult channel. With the help of Playboy's name, this channel also has very good subscription volume.

Moreover, as far as summer knows, the size of the American love film market is even larger than that of regular movies, so this channel also has great potential.
