Chapter 1196 Talk Show Master
Boston, USA.
As a radio station with frequencies throughout the United States, Mutual Radio Network is not small in scale, with a headquarters covering hundreds of acres in the suburbs of Boston.
Because there is no Internet yet, radio stations now, even in the United States, have strong vitality and very strong profitability.
Since the radio station's nighttime audience accounts for one-half of the audience, the radio station attaches great importance to this part of the audience, and many good programs are scheduled between ten o'clock in the evening and two o'clock in the morning.
As one of the flagship programs of the mutual radio network, the night talk show is also scheduled at 11 o'clock, and the time spans a full hour. Although there are advertisements and breaks in the middle, the 45-minute broadcast is still very challenging. of.
It was already one o'clock in the morning by the time Larry King, the host of the nightly talk show, walked out of the building.
From Monday to Friday, one episode will be broadcast every day. After the broadcast, we will continue to discuss and summarize with the production team to prepare for tomorrow's broadcast. It is already very good to be able to come out and go home at once.
Although Larry King is 29 years old, he has been divorced twice and is now a bachelor. He does not worry about leaving early and coming home late.
His apartment is 500 meters away from the radio station. He chooses to walk to and from get off work on weekdays. On the one hand, he is also exercising to avoid a lot of minor problems caused by sitting for a long time.
After walking only a hundred meters, while waiting for the red light, a voice suddenly came from behind.
"Hey, Larry!"
Larry King thought it was his colleague, but when he turned around, he found that it was a handsome young man whom he did not recognize.
"You are..." Larry King said doubtfully.
"Introduce yourself." The handsome young man handed over a business card, "Robert Iger, Director of Disney Television Channel, nice to meet you."
Larry King took a breath of air and looked down. Sure enough, it read "Robert Iger, Director of Television Channels, Disney Company" written on it.
Disney TV Channel!
In the past year, which TV channel has been more impressive, more famous, and more sensational than them?
"Happy Hotel" alone, in its first season, has defeated countless opponents and surrendered.
If it weren't for the national treasure of the United States, "Fengx Doctor
Not to mention the more sensational "American Idol" which directly broke the ratings of variety shows across the United States!
On the first day of the New Year, our champion sang in the White House for the President and the elites of the United States!
What an honor and fame this requires to be treated like this!
Not to mention anything else, just talking about the advertising investment conference that started this month has shocked the United States.
BMW spent 100 million U.S. dollars as the exclusive title company, and then provided all the cars for the competition. It was so impressive!
Then when other advertisements are added together, it is said that the amount is about 400 million US dollars.
One can imagine that a variety show had a total revenue of 500 million U.S. dollars. This was a jaw-dropping concept in the United States in 1982.
As a result, the auditions only started in July, and now many newspapers have begun bragging about them for free. Countless young men and women are asking in various ways how to sign up.
In the variety department of the Disney Television Channel, several phones are constantly being buzzed.
Therefore, with a TV series and a variety show, Disney TV Channel suddenly became the first-class TV channel in the United States. It seems to be more famous than several CNN, CBS and other TV networks.
Larry King is famous now, but only to a radio audience.
To be precise, the people who like to listen to his talk show the most are people from the northeastern coast of the United States.
Compared to the world-famous Disney Television Channel, he is nothing.
Unexpectedly, Robert Iger, the director of the Disney TV Channel, came to him in person today. He really felt flattered.
"Mr. Egger, why did you come here today..." After calming down his emotions, Larkin raised his head and asked.
"Oh, just call me Robert." Robert Egger showed his trademark bright and gentle smile, "How about we go and sit at a McDonald's nearby?"
Not far from here, there is a 24-hour McDonald's.
"Yes, please!"
Larry King simply took him to McDonald's, ordered two Cokes, and the two sat down in the corner.
"Larry, although we have never met, I know that you are a very talented person." Robert Egger said, "I have also listened to your talk show. It is very good and very topical, but it is It’s not vulgar and makes people feel comfortable.”
"Thanks!"
Larry King smiled broadly.
"But I didn't come here on my own initiative this time." Robert Egger continued with a smile, "I came here under the entrustment of our chairman."
"Ms. Tang?" Larry King was surprised.
As a person in the entertainment industry, he certainly knows about the upstarts who are now powerful in Hollywood.
Robert Iger shook his head, "It's not her, it's the big boss."
"big boss?"
Larry King was suddenly shocked, "Is it...Mr. Jun?"
Nowadays, in the Chinese circle, Yin Jun is called Jun Shao.
In other words, Yin Jun is just 20 years old, otherwise people would just call him Master Jun.
Among foreigners, there are also two titles.
One is "Mr. Yin Jun" and the other is "Mr. Jun".
In contrast, the title Mr. Jun is more elegant and more respectful of Yin Jun's achievements in artistic creation.
You know, the person who single-handedly wrote all the main story outlines of "Qilin Weekly" has written such classics as "Jurassic Park", "A Song of Ice and Fire", "Forrest Gump" and "The Da Vinci Code" The writer of novels, the director who made heart-warming classics like "The Shawshank Redemption"... A person of this status, even if he is not from Europe or the United States, deserves the respect of many people.
Robert Egger smiled even brighter when he heard the name Larry King.
"The big boss listened to a lot of your talk shows when we were filming "The Shawshank Redemption" and thought your characteristics were very promising, so he gave me some instructions." Robert Egger looked at him calmly and said : "How about it, are you interested in coming to Disney TV Channel and doing a talk show just for you?"
"TV station? Live talk show!?" Larry King suddenly became excited and said with bright eyes: "What do you say? Is it specially made for me?"
"It's not just that." Robert Egger replied, "What the big boss means is that you serve as the producer yourself, you form your own team, and you produce this talk show yourself. All expenses are paid by Disney TV Channel, and you only need to be responsible for Just make it the best it can be.”
"Isn't it? You didn't lie to me?" Larry King was surprised. Instead of being surprised, he became wary: "What do you want from me?"
Americans are mainly composed of European immigrants, so their ideas, customs and thinking abilities are similar to those of Europeans.
They are accustomed to equal exchange and do not like receiving gifts.
If you give too much, they will be suspicious and nervous and feel untrustworthy.
This is clearly where Larry King is today.
Robert Egger was very experienced and smiled when he saw this, "Please, what is it about you that our big boss should be worried about? Talent? Wealth? Power?... He just thinks you have talent and lets you give it a try."
If Robert Iger followed Larry King's interpretation, Larry King would definitely become more and more suspicious.
But after hearing what Robert Egger said, Larry King calmed down.
yes.
He is just a small radio talk show host, while Mr. Jun is already a well-known rich man in the world. He controls two major companies, United Artists Pictures and Disney. How could he possibly plot against him? Is this useful?
So, I'm afraid there's only one reason why they give so many benefits.
Mr. Jun is very optimistic about his future!
As someone who has known Yin Jun, Larry King knows very well that Yin Jun's vision is world-class.
As long as he values people, whether they are actors or directors, they can eventually soar into the sky and become superstars.
For example, Eddie Murphy.
Before "Police Academy", Eddie Murphy had never made a movie at all.
"Police Academy" made Eddie Murphy famous, "Speed" made Eddie Murphy stand out, and "Beverly Hills Cop" immediately made Eddie Murphy a first-rate movie star.
Take Schwarzenegger, for example. Before he starred in "Terminator", who would remember this bodybuilding champion from the movie?
But as soon as "Terminator" came out, Schwarzenegger became a fierce robot. His cold and cruel evil charm simply made movie fans around the world love him to death!
Let’s talk about the director.
Before "Terminator," who knew who James Cameron was?
Didn't Warner joke that he was a "truck driver"?
As a result, you see, Yin Jun promoted him directly and didn't mention he became the director. In addition, he actually gave him the final editing rights. How much trust is this?
James Cameron's reward for Yin Jun is also very simple, it is "Terminator" that shocked the film industry!
"The Ultimates" has just been released in big cities here, and the video tapes went on sale immediately, and are still being sought after by countless fans.
It is said that more than 2 million copies were sold in half a month, which is really amazing!
When I think about it, isn't my treatment somewhat similar to that of James Cameron?
It was also Yin Jun who took a fancy to him at first glance, who was also entrusted with important tasks as soon as he came up, and who was also not famous before...
So, if I went to the Disney TV Channel, would I be able to achieve the same achievements as James Cameron?
Larry King didn’t know this question for others, but if he asked Yin Jun, Yin Jun actually admired his courage to compare with James Cameron.
In fact, Larry King is not bad at all.
The boss of talk shows is Oprah, a woman.
But among the male talk show hosts, the most powerful one is Larry King!
If Yin Jun hadn't taken out the script of "Ghostbusters" some time ago and remembered that Larry King had a role in it, he would have really forgotten about this talk show master!
How can a good television station be considered a first-class television news network without its own ace talk show host?
As a result, this future CNN ace talk show star came into Yin Jun's sight.
After learning that he was still doing a radio talk show, Yin Jun told Robert Egger his idea and asked him to take charge of it.
What he wanted to do about being a part-time producer, forming his own team, etc. was actually decided by Robert Iger himself. He just told Larry King in the name of Yin Jun to increase the bargaining chip for poaching people.
The reason why he paid so much is that before Robert Egger came, he asked Yin Jun something.
"What's the future for this Larry King?"
"The future is bright, this is the best talk show master!"
This is the boy's answer.
