When Yang Huan was enjoying the unprecedentedly moving taste in her villa, far away in London, Sun Gold Medal columnist Steven Howard pushed open his door.

He just came back from dinner with a Premier League executive and is now exhausted and exhausted.

Sitting on the sofa, looking up at the ceiling, not long after, my eyes closed.

I don’t know how long it took for the phone to wake him up.

"Hey" Steven Howard was a little helpless.

Caller ID is Rebekah Wade, editor-in-chief of the Sun, his immediate boss.

"Steven, how about it? Have you heard of any news?" the editor-in-chief on the other side of the phone asked.

Steven Howard was so jealous in his heart.

You don’t care whether I’m tired or not, nor what time it’s now, but you only care about tomorrow’s news. Is there a little humanity?

However, he had to keep these words in his heart.

This is the case with the Sun, it is stressful, but it has great influence. The employees are paid well, especially gold medal columnists like Steven Howard, whose income and influence are unmatched by other newspaper columnists.

"I found out, but there was no valuable information. I heard that the negotiations were in a stalemate."

"Why?" Rebekah Wade was a little surprised.

Steven Howard held his cell phone in one hand and squeezed his frown brows with the other.

"It's mainly in Southampton."

This team is really a hot potato, but it is a hot potato that everyone wants to compete for.

"Sky TV hopes to give Southampton's top four teams treatment, broadcast more Saints' games, and even cut the live games of Arsenal, Liverpool, Chelsea, Manchester United and Manchester City."

"But the Premier League's idea is to increase the live broadcasts in Southampton without reducing the number of broadcasts of several powerful Premier League teams, and reorganize seven broadcast packets."

If a person who is not familiar with the inside story, even a senior fan, after listening to Steven Howard's words, he would hear the clouds and mists, and he would not understand how many tricks there are at all.

Rebekah and Wade could understand.

Once the number of live broadcasts increases, the number of live broadcasts for each of the seven broadcast packets will also increase.

In other words, broadcasters need to pay more to bid for these broadcast packages.

Sky TV is undoubtedly the most important broadcaster in the Premier League. This TV agency is almost the most important source of Premier League broadcast rights revenue. However, in the UK, Sky TV is also highly dependent on Premier League broadcast rights.

In recent years, more and more TV organizations have begun to consciously challenge Sky TV's leading position in the UK's paid TV, and its most powerful weapon is the Premier League broadcasting rights.

This year, I heard that BT is interested in intervening, which will inevitably lead to a struggle between EpN BT and Sky TV. The last price will be higher.

If the number of live broadcasts of the Premier League is increased in this case, the broadcast cost of television organizations will be higher.

In other words, the Premier League broadcast rights are likely to create another sky-high price

"In the evaluation of the Premier League and Sky TV, Southampton's appeal in the UK is not inferior to Manchester United, Chelsea and Arsenal, and especially this team's move to greatly increase the face of British football in the UEFA Cup this season has won the favor of countless local fans."

"As for high-quality resources, all three TV stations are fighting for, and the Premier League is also fighting for maximum profits. So, the negotiations are a bit stalemate now, but..."

After Steven Howard's salute, Rebekah and Wade immediately became a little anxious.

"But what?"

"However, judging from the current situation, regardless of whether the number of games increases or not, the price of a single broadcast must exceed 6.5 million pounds."

Six and a half million pounds?

Rebekah or Wade had planned that even if the live broadcasts were not increased, the broadcast rights in those three years would have exceeded 3 billion pounds.

This is twice the previous broadcast rights contract

And it can be seen that the Premier League now takes the initiative and does not increase the number of games. Yes, the single-game broadcast fee must be increased.

If you don’t want to raise too much of a single broadcast fee, it’s OK, so increase the number of broadcasts

“Southampton is really troublesome”

When Manchester City rose before, it did not cause such trouble.

But Southampton is obviously different from Manchester City, and the Saints have more market appeal and influence.

Thinking of this, Rebekah and Wade also understood that there would definitely be no way to make the front page of this news tomorrow.

Fortunately, he made preparations for everything.

"Steven, you're now on Youtube."

"What?" Steven Howard was a little surprised.

It's so late, I'm tired and going to bed, are you going to be a terrible person?

"Your old friend, Charlene Lahry's self-media interview program [off-site] has been released."

"Is that?" He was very busy today.

"I watched that show and the response was very good, especially some of Yang Huan's words in it, which not only cleared the names of countless new fans, but also challenged some old fans' understanding of football. It was very interesting."

Steven Howard suddenly turned into a bitter gourd.

He could have heard the editor-in-chief's subtext.

"Are you planning to use this as the front page headline for tomorrow?"

Rebekah Wade smiled helplessly, "There is no way, there is no big news today, so I can only do this."

Sure enough, after laughing, Rebekah O Wade said again: "You go and have a look, and you'll get a comment to you at night."

Without waiting for Steven Howard to say anything more, Rebekah and Wade said, that's it, and then hung up the phone.

"That's it?" Steven Howard almost cried.

What time is it?

It's midnight, and I'm still asking me to get the manuscript?

Are you human? Is it human?

But the editor-in-chief has been suppressed, and he can't do it.

I could only get the laptop with resentment, and after opening it, I logged in to Youtubi directly.

Charlene Lahry's off-field is recommended on Youtubi's homepage, click to enter.

“Wow, the praise is very popular”

Looking at the comments below the Youtubi video, most of them are positive comments and praise.

Occasionally mixed with some criticism, but it was quickly swallowed up by the saliva of praise.

How long does it take?

The click rate is as high as one million

Steven Howard was stunned.

It turns out that being a self-media is so popular these days?

"I'm not a fan of Yang Huan. Even in the past, I always felt that he didn't understand football."

"At least, he didn't have a deep understanding of professional football."

"It is undeniable that he is a very, very talented person. He has done a lot of things and achieved very high and high achievements. But in the field of football management, I have always felt that he is not successful."

"In the past, I have also heard many of his remarks, including sensational remarks like giving free tickets, but in my eyes, it is more of a boast that is not surprising and endless, which is impossible to achieve."

"But after watching this interview program between him and Charlene Rahry, I completely overturned all my previous impressions of Yang Huan. I found that he might not have had a deep understanding of professional football."

"However, his sharp and sharp and forward-looking vision leads us to clarify the current football context and let us understand the future development trends of professional football."

"It reminds me of one thing, he is only twenty-two years old, a complete young man."

"In the interview, he seemed to represent the young fans around the age of twenty, making their voices."

"Football is a sport, and this sport belongs to fans, both old and new fans. In the final analysis, its future belongs to new fans, including those pseudo-fans who are always looked down upon by old fans."

"He is also protesting. It is not just about coming to the scene to watch the football game, only when he sits in front of the TV and in front of the radio to watch and listen to the game, he is called a fan."

"As long as you like football, as long as you have the stars and teams you like, even if you never go to the scene to watch the football or watch the game broadcast, you are considered a qualified fan."

"What he said made me feel that he was subverting our past impression of fans."

“He is also disrupting our understanding of the sport of professional football.”

"After watching this interview program, I felt a lot, but my originally tired spirit became very excited."

"I was thinking, maybe it wasn't that he didn't understand football, nor was he not doing his job properly."

"But he thought too far and went too far."

"But no matter what, from now on, I will start to follow Southampton and Yang Huan"

When Yang Huan sat in the office of the Steptwood training base, crossed her legs and looked at the Sun this morning, her mood, which was already very good because of the refreshing enjoyment last night, suddenly became better.

I kept laughing on my face and saw the signature of the reporter below the newspaper comments.

"Steven Howard"
