Nine Hundred and Fifty-Ninth Chapter Big Series
Although it was a celebration party started by a girl who hoped to make more noise, but today there were too many MGM and the management of the two TV stations in attendance, and the atmosphere of the party was not as noisy as before. There were also a lot of people dancing in the open space for the dance floor, but in general, everyone gathered in groups of three or five to chat in low voices with champagne.
"The popularity of cable TV is already an overall trend, and the development of e! Entertainment and brvao TV stations has lagged behind life, but compared with many cable TV operators who haven't woken up yet, we still have plenty of time. Yes, what you need to do next is to continue to increase investment in original content, increase the marketing efforts of TV stations, and gain a firm foothold before other TV station operators come to their senses."
On the terrace overlooking the whole of Los Angeles, Eric and Amy Pascal have taken the position with excellent view of course, talking about the future development of the two TV stations.
"Eric, "Desperate Housewives" has been successful. Didn't you say that there is another reality show that is very suitable for brvao TV?"
As the producer of "Beverly Girls", Kris Jenner was also lucky enough to be invited to this small group, and when Eric finished speaking, the woman asked causally.
Although Amy Pascal felt that Kris Jenner was too eager, they all looked at Eric expectantly, and they also wanted to know about Eric's other reality show ideas.
In fact, creativity is the most indispensable thing in Hollywood, but whether it is a studio or a TV station, there is often a superstitious idea of authority. Once one of your projects is successful, then your next thoughts, will be admired by all. If you are just a newcomer with no money, even if you can come up with a creative idea, it is difficult to get the recognition of Hollywood.
Eric nodded and said: "The idea of this reality show is similar to "Beverly Girls", and it is also a reality show of life. The actors and potential audiences participating in the reality show are housewives. If you come from Beaver If Leigh Hills started recording, this reality show could be called "Beverly Housewives." However, compared to "Beverly Girls", this series of reality shows can do a lot, just in Los Angeles, you are completely You can make "Beverly Housewives", "Orange Housewives", "Malibu Housewives", and if the analogy is applied to other regions, such as New York, San Francisco, Chicago, or even overseas London or Paris, the same applies."
Amy Pascal and the others looked at each other after listening to Eric.
They all realized that if Eric's whole idea can really be made into a huge housewife series as he said, then this series alone is enough to support the original content of brvao TV.
However, reality shows have a life cycle after all, and they are still skeptical about whether this series can continue.
Amy Pascal remembered something and said: "Eric, you just said that this housewife series can do a lot, as if "Beverly Girls" can't, why is this?"
"Young people like novelty. After "Beverly Girls", maybe we can develop a few more "Manhattan Girls", "Chicago Girls" and so on, but these can easily make young people lose interest."
Of course, Eric is aware of the shortcomings of reality shows that are easy to get high ratings, but it is also easy to lose the novelty of the audience, explaining: "However, the Housewives series is different, because they are aimed at the group of housewives whose daily life patterns are very fixed. , It can be said that the lives of many housewives are almost unchanged for decades. Once they get used to something, such as a TV show, then, out of habit, they will keep following. So, I think, Compared with the "Beverly Girls" series, the life cycle of the Housewives series will be very long.
Moreover, the cost of such a reality show is very low, and it is even possible to develop several housewife reality shows in different regions at the same time and broadcast them at different times. "
After saying this, Eric added with a smile: "Of course, this is just my guess, and everything needs to be proved by reality."
In the original time and space, the branch of the Housewife series is very large, and Eric's reverse reasoning based on the results is basically a fact.
Kris Jenner is very excited at this time. If what Eric said can come true, as a producer, just this series will be enough for her to maintain her status in the TV circle for more than ten years: "Eric , if this is true, the brvao channel may never be short of TV shows."
Eric listened to Kris Jenner's implied compliments, shook his head and smiled: "It's definitely impossible, a popular TV show may be able to get a TV station high attention and ratings in a short period of time. , but definitely not enough to support the development of a TV station. A good TV program is more like a kind of fire, if you want to keep the bonfire burning, you must keep adding fuel."
In recent years, although "Yu Want City", "Project Runway" and "America's Next Top Model" have always been the mainstays of Lifetime TV, Lifetime TV's investment in new program development and acquisition of program copyrights has always been spare no effort. As a result, lifetime's overall ratings and financial revenue continued to rise, and Lifetime TV even opened two sub-stations.
Continued content investment, ratings and revenue growth have formed a very virtuous cycle. As long as the management team does not make too stupid decision mistakes, Lifetime TV will continue to grow in this virtuous circle.
Eric naturally also hopes that e! Entertainment and brvao can form such a stable and healthy development.
The three TV stations, one for the urban elite female group, the other for the housewives group, and the last one attracts teenagers who are interested in entertainment, fashion and news gossip. Therefore, the three TV stations do not have too many factors that may cause internal competition. Instead, they can form a mutually reinforcing state.
Since it was a celebratory party, it was naturally not suitable to keep talking about business affairs. Everyone communicated for a while, and soon dispersed, looking for interested guests to chat.
Eric and the girl stayed on the terrace for a while, and were about to leave when Kris Jenner and his wife came over with three girls: "Eric, introduce, this is my daughter, Kurt. Ni, Kohler, and what you've seen, Kim."
This is the first time Eric has seen the three Kardashian sisters face to face. The three girls are all under 20 at this time, obviously they don't use much knife, and they all look young.
Eric has changed a lot of things. "Beverly Girls" and the future Housewives series are enough to satisfy Kris Jenner's ambitions. The other party obviously won't spend any more time on his daughters. She is so shrewd. Women, of course, will also know very well that it is very big to want to make her three daughters with mediocre talents. It is estimated that there will be no more reality shows like "Keeping Up with the Kardashians" in the future.
Courteously hugged the three girls one by one, Eric just looked at Kim Kardashian, who was more familiar, and asked with a smile, "What are you doing recently?"
"Go to school," Kim Kardashian glanced at Drew, who walked away with a smile, as well as her mother and stepfather who also left, looking at Eric with a bit of a whimper, "I graduated from high school this year, and my mother plans to Put me in the USC Film School."
"Oh," Eric beckoned to a passing waiter, took a glass of champagne from the other's tray, leaned against the balcony railing, and said jokingly, "Can you pass the test?"
Although the USC Film School is known as the Academy for the Children of the Rich, people with poor family backgrounds and few connections will basically not go to this department. Of course, if the grades are too poor, it is estimated that USC will also take a face.
"Eric, it's really hurtful for you to say that," Kim Kardashian raised her hand, but didn't dare to hit Eric, she just said, "However, I don't really have any confidence, I I want to study fashion design.”
"This is a little more reliable," Eric nodded with a smile and looked at the other two women. Among the three sisters, the youngest Khloe Kardashian was the tallest, which naturally attracted Eric's attention and said, "Your name is Kohler?"
Khloe Kardashian just saw her second sister and Eric chatting warmly and a little jealous, listening to Eric talking to herself, she nodded quickly: "Yes, Mr. Williams, I like yours very much. Movie."
"Oh, which one?"
Khloe Kardashian said shrewdly: "I like every one, starting with Home Alone."
The older sister Kourtney Kardashian, who felt that she was being left out, took down her younger sister's stage and said: "Khloe, you are mistaken, Mr. Williams' first film is "Return to Seventeen". "
"Of course I know," Khloe Kardashian rolled her sister's eyes and said, "However, I was only four years old at the time, and I watched "Back to Seventeen" later."
Kim Kardashian saw her eldest sister and younger sister began arguing in front of Eric, feeling a little embarrassed, and quickly said to Eric: "Eric, can I invite you to dance together?"
"Oh, of course," Eric glanced at Kris Jenner and his wife who were not far away, the other party was with e! The president of the entertainment TV station didn't seem to care at all while chatting, and he didn't know what the woman was thinking about introducing her three daughters to her side.
Although I don't have much interest in these three mediocre-looking girls, the current situation is quite interesting, and even a little exciting.
Hearing Eric's answer, Kim Kardashian glanced at her sister proudly, reached out her hand, and walked towards the dance floor holding Eric.
Looking at Eric and his sisters leaving, Kourtney Kardashian and Khloe Kardashian glared at each other and said invariably, "It's all your fault."
When the words fell, Khloe Kardashian immediately said: "You didn't pick it up first, and it must have left a bad impression in Williams' heart now."
After all, Kourtney Kardashian made some mistakes. She turned her vision to Los Angeles at the foot of the mountain, leaned on the railing and looked at the lights of the whole city. After a while, she said enviously, "I really want to have a villa like this."
Khloe Kardashian naturally had the same idea in her heart, but at this time she still had some resentment that the eldest sister just picked on her own language problem, and sarcastically said without hesitation: "Do you know how much this villa costs?"
Although Kourtney Kardashian was only visiting Drew's mansion for the first time, she heard about Kim's coming here.
Although the area of this mansion is not too big, because of its excellent location, the conservative price is now more than 15 million US dollars. According to the real estate appreciation rate in Los Angeles, it may appreciate to 20 to 30 million in the next few years. Not sure.
Although both their biological fathers and stepfathers are considered wealthy in the United States, their net worth still cannot afford such a villa.
Thinking about rubbing a few times on the smooth railing, Kourtney Kardashian turned her head to look at the open-air dance floor not far away, but the lights there were dim, and she did not find her sister and Eric.
"I read in a magazine that Mr Williams might be worth close to $150 billion now, and I don't know what it's like to have $150 billion."
Khloe Kardashian glanced at her sister and said: "Although it must be more than 100 billion US dollars, but there is no 150 billion, you can see it as a gossip tabloid. However, if there is really 150 billion US dollars, we can Just bought 100 of these villas without blinking an eye.”
Kourtney Kardashian subconsciously said: "100 buildings, how much does that cost?"
Khloe Kardashian thought about it for a while, then shook her head confidently: "How do I know, you calculate it yourself."
Kourtney Kardashian glanced at the dance floor again, but still couldn't find her sister and Eric, and said with some regret: "If only I could be Eric Williams' girlfriend. Now, with a wave of his hand, he can help me buy such a villa."
Khloe Kardashian remembered what happened just now: "He has been taken away by Kim now, you can dream, it's all your fault."
"I didn't do it on purpose, you are obviously wrong."
"If I say something wrong, you have to point it out. Are you still my sister?"
Kourtney Kardashian said quietly: "It's really not necessarily."
Khloe Kardashian immediately looked like a blown-up cat: "You have the ability to say that in front of your mother, and see if she doesn't kill you."
"I'm too lazy to argue with you," Kourtney Kardashian said just now, and immediately realized that she had made a blunder.
Whether it's their biological father or stepfather, their sisters are not afraid at all. From childhood to adulthood, they only felt terrified of their strong and aggressive mother. If they were known by their mother just now, they would definitely be slapped.
Feeling that her eldest sister was soft, Khloe Kardashian said proudly: "Hmph, be careful I tell mom."
"Go ahead," said Kourtney Kardashian, but once she wasn't afraid of her little sister's threat, it's no wonder she dared to talk to her mother about such a sensitive thing.
Khloe Kardashian naturally did not dare to say it. Seeing that her threat was ineffective, she, like her sister, looked towards the dance floor with some anticipation, and said, "Let's go over there, maybe we can talk to William later. Mr. Muss dances together."
Kourtney Kardashian nodded and said again: "Did you just hear that, Kim called Williams' name directly, you say, we call it the same, okay?"
"I don't know either. If I want you, you should call first?" Khloe Kardashian urged immediately.
Kourtney Kardashian was a little moved, shook her head in a blink of an eye, and found a reason for her timidity: "Mom said let's be polite."
