Chapter 1754 Dealing with Matters

"The latest data of "Sports and Entertainment News" is out. Since the launch of the issue in August, the sales volume has stabilized at 300,000 copies, and the sales network covers 20 major cities in the United States." Ye Linqinwa took the folder and continued Said, "But their expenses were equally staggering. After the US$200 million in the preparation period was spent, they applied for another US$100 million in funding from the US headquarters.

In addition to further poaching editors, columnists and reporters, the funds are also used to continue to stabilize and strengthen the channels, striving to focus on these 20 major cities and radiate to two or three cities near them. . Of course, the most important part of the funds is still in acquiring news information and valuable and timely photos. "

After a pause, Ye Linqinwa's voice became colder, "Of the 100 million US dollars, at least 10 million were used to buy daily photos of sports stars, especially photos of female sports stars. Because according to their survey, readers are The photos of this part are of great interest.”

"Linwa, do you think it's bad to publish so many photos?" Yin Jun asked.

"No, but I feel a bit like...a crooked newspaper that relies on beauty to attract readers." Yelinqinwa said, "Is it a bit...a bit low-key? It's like "The Sun" 》That way?”

In 1984, Murdoch had not yet acquired The Sun, but this entertainment tabloid, which had been published in the 1960s, had already had three pages of girl content in the 1970s.

Because of this, "The Sun" has completely become a newspaper for ordinary people to enjoy, rather than a newspaper for educated people to read.

But its sales have also increased significantly because of the third page of girls.

Ye Linqinwa was worried that their "Sports and Entertainment News" would ignore the style of the newspaper and lower its grade because they wanted to increase sales.

"What they purchased were very formal portrait photos, which were specially taken with the consent of the sports stars." Yin Jun said, "These photos reflect the beauty of strength and muscles, and also show a sunny and positive atmosphere... … They’re all positive and make people feel good, unlike The Sun.”

As he spoke, Yin Jun looked at Ye Linqinwa and said, "Just like you, Linwa. Every day when I see you, I feel in a good mood, and my work efficiency will naturally improve! Isn't this the result of beauty?"

Ye Linqin looked cute and blushed, but she was not angry.

As a European, this level of teasing and joking is still acceptable.

What's more, she knows Yin Jun's character and won't be so boring.

At the same time, Ye Linqinwa also understood what Yin Jun meant. After thinking about it carefully, she nodded secretly.

She felt that "Sports and Entertainment News" started quickly and developed faster, but in fact Yin Jun didn't think so.

The young man thinks that Sports Entertainment News has not taken off yet.

Backed by an entertainment and media giant like the North American branch of Kirin Group, it has given such a sufficient budget and prepared for such a long time, but it only has a scale of 300,000 copies.

Of course, Yin Jun also understood what they meant.

A strong start will inevitably be accompanied by the consumption of huge amounts of funds.

They have now spent 200 million US dollars in less than half a year, and will need to spend an additional 100 million US dollars. This group of newspaper industry elites is already a bit frightened.

You want to ask them to apply for 1 billion U.S. dollars in funding and start with a daily circulation of 1 million copies. Do they dare?

However, the development trajectory of "Sports and Entertainment News" is still on the right track, and their development direction is also on the right track. It can be seen that they are very capable.

Seeing that their minds were clear, Yin Jun decided to let them continue. Otherwise, it would be better to replace them now rather than later.

"Then it's the United States." Ye Linqinwa calmed down and said, "The film shooting plan of "The Bridge of Lost Dreams" has been included in next year's United Artists Film Company's film budget. According to your requirements , at the beginning of this month, sent out 1 million questionnaires to female readers around the world through various channels to determine who would play the male and female protagonists.

The response rate of the questionnaire reached 85%. Many female readers who did not receive the questionnaire also called or sent letters to express their opinions. According to statistics from United Artists, Ms. Meryl Streep ranked first on the list of candidates for the heroine with 75% of the votes. The top vote-getter for actor was Robert De Niro, with 63% of the vote. "

The plan to launch a major movie about "Bridge of Lost Dreams" has always touched the hearts of female readers around the world.

They have been calling on Yin Jun for a long time to put this classic on the big screen as soon as possible. It is best for Yin Jun to direct it himself.

If the protagonist in the novel hadn't been white and over forty years old, they would have pushed Yin Jun to play the role.

Because these women stubbornly feel that only Yin Jun can perfectly interpret the plot and the entanglement of love and hate in the novel.

Especially the kind of love that can't be achieved. In the end, the two can only keep the love in their hearts and continue their ordinary lives. I don't know how many true portrayals of women.

Because it touches people's hearts directly, the story can be moving.

Female fans have always been the most die-hard fan group.

Otherwise, Yin Jun would not have written such a "Bridge of Lost Dreams".

Facts have proved that this effect is very good. Nowadays, women all over the world regard Yin Jun as a "friend of women", and many people have directly become Yin Jun's hardcore fans.

Staying in front of the TV and watching variety shows and TV series produced by Yin Jun has become the entertainment and pastime choice for many of them.

ABC's viewership continues to increase, and this is definitely a part of it.

If someone wants to criticize Yin Jun, the first thing they will face is not the counterattack from the Qilin Group, but the overwhelming rebuttal and scolding from this group of fans who brought their own food.

Women can be unreasonable when they scold others, but you can't scold them back, otherwise it will be disrespectful.

With such powerful help, Yin Jun has encountered many fewer obstacles in his career in the past two years.

After receiving benefits, he naturally wanted to repay others, so Yin Jun started the production and planning of "The Bridge of Lost Dreams" with great fanfare, and then invited female readers to participate and let them decide on the male and female protagonists.

This gives them a proud sense of participation. When the movie is released, how could they not see how the leading actors and actresses they chose perform?

Of course, the prerequisite for this is that United Artists Film Company will definitely select the actor or actress with the highest number of votes as agreed.

Yin Jun was a little surprised when he heard what Ye Linqinwa said.

There is certainly no doubt about the heroine.

Aunt Mei starred as the heroine more than ten years ahead of schedule, and she still looks more charming.

But the male protagonist was beyond Yin Jun's expectations.

He originally thought that female readers would choose Clint Eastwood, an old cowboy, but unexpectedly they would choose Robert De Niro, a handsome Italian-born boy.

But when he thought about it, Yin Jun understood again.

The casting of female readers this time involved participation from all over the world.

Everyone likes handsome Italian guys. Compared to Clint Eastwood's cowboy look, the gentle Robert De Niro is more handsome and unrestrained, and he has a stronger romantic libertine vibe.

Don't worry about Robert De Niro's acting skills. He is not an actor like Tom Cruise and Brad Pitt who only rely on his face to make a living.

As one of the four greatest actors in Hollywood in the 1980s, Robert De Niro was more than qualified to star in "The Bridge".

"Then just the two of them!" Yin Jun muttered as his thoughts passed, "Announce the results to the outside world, and then be a little more sensational, and then have more interactions with them during the production process. Let these female readers know, How much we respect their opinions.”

"OK."

Ye Linqinwa remembered what Yin Jun said.

She is not familiar with Hollywood, which is where she will increase her knowledge base in the future.

Not only because this is her job, Hatekova is also working hard in Hollywood!

If Ye Linqinwa can do well here and get Yin Jun's approval, it will be of great benefit to her sister's work in Hollywood.

She knew that her sister's ability was actually better than hers, but it was just because her family was poor and in order for her to study, her sister gave up going to college and worked so hard to pay for her tuition.

Ye Linqinwa never talked about this love, but she kept it in her heart.

"Next is Xiangjiang." Ye Linqinwa looked at the abstract in the folder and said: ""The Five Lucky Stars" was released for three weeks and the box office was very good, so Mr. Hong Jinbao invites you to attend the celebration party on the weekend."

The young man nodded, "Please arrange your time and free up weekend nights."

"good!"

Ye Linqinwa is now the most personal secretary, so she has the right to decide many things for Yin Jun, such as time arrangements.

Usually when people want to make an appointment with Yin Jun to talk about something, they convey it through her.

Yin Jun also valued that she had just arrived in Xiangjiang, had no relatives, would not act as a lobbyist for others, and would most faithfully carry out the things arranged by Yin Jun.

It’s not that the current female secretaries in the Secretariat are cheating, but they are faced with overwhelming fawning and entanglement every day. Many times they cannot be hard-hearted enough to refuse, so many things are a bit delayed.

Yin Jun brought Ye Linqinwa back this time, which also made them wary.

His secretaries must not only handle secretarial work well, but also have more important tasks for them to do.

If they can't implement their own ideas well and don't have a decisive temperament, I'm afraid they won't be able to stay in the Secretariat for long.
