Chapter 192 The MTV that Came Quietly

Chapter 192 The MTV that Came Quietly

When integrating resources, Barry Diller found that the boss's previous preparations were very interesting. The cable TV station actually developed its business around MTV, and the development seemed to be pretty good.

In fact, to a large extent, this is because he overestimated his boss. William White is very hardworking. He doesn't have a ready-made film library. It is a dream to set up a TV station like HBO.

MTV is different. Although William White also owns a record company, there are no singers yet. It is not necessary for the boss to sing by himself. Since there is no competition, other record companies are also interested in the promotion of this situation.

The music programs of this era are not as interesting as those of the later generations. A bit of stage imagery would be good. As for the mode of condensing it into a micro movie, no one does it at all.

The so-called MTV is actually a misnomer, but it doesn't matter, William White has plenty of time and enough people to help him complete the filming.

How to shoot?

This is also very simple. William White bought out some adaptation rights and began to write the script of the music short film.

As for who will shoot?

That's even simpler. Where is the film academy and where are the talents? It only needs a small fee, and a lot of people will join it.

The first prize is $10,000, the second prize is $5,000, and the third prize is $3,000. There is no upper limit on the number of people for each award. The filming rewards of this MTV are internal, and only students from Southern University of California can participate. The general meaning is, if you shoot hard, you will be reimbursed for the cost. If you shoot well, you can make a small profit.

Is three thousand dollars too little?

Quite a lot, some people earn only 500 dollars a month, and the currency depreciation is real. Later, everyone has 5,000 dollars a month, and the purchasing power may not be higher than the current 500 dollars.

You said the TV set is cheap.

There is no way to argue about this thing. The prices of things necessary for life are rising. Household appliances are not necessities. You can’t eat TV even if you are hungry.

"Boss, you are not so big, are you?"

William White, who was confused, was a little amused, "Jason, what's the big deal? Why don't I know?"

"Aren't you right? Now that there are no cameras available for rent, a large group of guys are starting to prepare for the crew."

"Damn, it's not like this, you hurry up and talk about it, don't repeat yourself."

"I know, no one is so stupid. Boss, is it true that everyone gets a prize?"

"Yeah, unless you do something too outrageous, then don't blame me."

"Okay, I know what to say."

Knowing that this guy has a good relationship with William White, many students naturally want to ask what is going on.

Don't underestimate these children. College students in this era are indeed the darlings of the era, and they are the same everywhere.

What is film school for?

Isn't that what trained these guys?

Let you make a movie as soon as you come up?

Haha, have you woken up yet? It would be nice to have a commercial shoot, what are you thinking about!

Now is the opportunity, if there are three to five minutes to express the artistic conception of a song, it really makes people feel a headache.

William White has compiled two scripts, you should shoot them first and see, if you can't learn these, you should go back to school.

The professor of the film school really talked about how to shoot this thing. William White was also responsible. Not only did he write the storyboard script, he even described the scene. If you still can’t shoot it, you’d better change careers.

Huh, that looks like fun.

Damn, am I on TV?

Compared with those stage images, the good and bad are naturally clear at a glance. Many record companies have also noticed this change. The reason is very simple. The old records in their warehouses are selling well again. The conclusion of the investigation company is also very simple, MTV.

I rely on it, it seems not expensive.

What are you waiting for? Aren't the guys in the film school very empty, then try to make two films, and call the bastard who sings, and don't even want the chance to show his face, what a bastard.

There is a lot of power in numbers. This sentence is very reasonable. If William White makes a fuss on his own, it will never be possible to promote this thing. Now it’s all right, and those old videos are all thrown into the trash.

If you want to say how good the quality is, then it is pure nonsense. In William White's view, these are all rubbish. He thinks so, and TV viewers naturally have different opinions.

Barry Diller also didn't expect that after he integrated the resources, the MTV, which the boss has always attached great importance to, would suddenly go crazy. The initial ratings were only a few hundred thousand. What did he see now? 3000000!

Don't think it's easy. There are too many TV stations in this era. Disney's ratings are only a few million, and any TV station that exceeds 10 million is a good program, and no TV station will ignore it.

Although it is 3 million now, you have to know that it has only been established for a few days. Not long ago, this thing had only a pitiful ratings of hundreds of thousands, or even tens of thousands.

What were you talking about?

William White's Waterloo.

Hey, people may not know that there is such a TV station under their banner, and now it explodes just after being integrated, this Barry Diller really has a set.

This kind of statement really made Barry Diller ashamed, but the old man didn't do anything. When you see NBC's follow-up action, don't take it on the old man.

He knew very well how MTV became popular. The boss really didn't spend too much money. Not only the students in the film school were grateful to him, but the professors were also very satisfied.

"In order to commemorate the birthplace of the first MTV, the MTV Grand Prix will be held on April 28 every year. The professional evaluation committee of the awards will be composed of three parts: professional media, All-Meter Recording Association, University of Southern California, professional The judges get 60% of the votes and the remaining 40% goes to the audience."

Well, USC has been forcibly tied up. Of course, they are also happy to see the results. As for the Music Association, you can try not to participate. They are giving you face. If you don’t give face, then don’t blame people Everyone is slapped in the face, you think there is no music association in Europe.

They have a deep understanding of William White's omnipotence. One very obvious thing is that Europeans look down on old Americans. Your country music is only for migrant workers. As for those ridiculous raps, those are all It's an unhealthy thing.

Well, they do have stereotyped prejudices. If you want to talk about rapping, it’s really a bit disgusting, not to mention the ones you heard in China, most of the unhealthy ones are blocked.

There is still some truth in preaching bad children. It is an indisputable fact that there is a lot of foul language, and there are some very unhealthy hints.

Alright, alright, the current students would be terrified without being taught, this is a matter for the beholder to see, and each has its own reason anyway.

One thing is clear, rap singers are mostly black buddies, and their living conditions are indeed very bad, and all the bad things you can think of are common to them.

Many people dislike these kinds of music. There is really no way to say that. To paraphrase an old saying, each has its own love.
