Chapter 993 Cooperation

Things in North America are far more than that.

"Happy Hotel" has become a cultural phenomenon and is also the highest-rated TV series in North America before "Wind x Doctor x Nurse" was launched.

Not to mention the high ratings, its dialogue, its expression, and its various situations have become popular hot spots for people. The news all day long has the shadow of "Happy Hotel", which invisibly increases the popularity of "Happy Hotel" from another aspect, thus making it more famous and popular.

Such a strange flower is not only envious, jealous and hateful to the opponent, but also a bit jealous of ABC TV station, which is half its own.

All the programs on abc TV station are now suppressed by "Happy Hotel". How can they not be jealous?

Recently, their president invited Tang Shuxuan to have two meals in a row, and the meaning was "We are all our own people. If you watch any other good TV series, can you take care of us abc?"

There is no way, ABC, as a comprehensive TV network, is under great pressure.

nbc, cbs, hbo, etc. are not vegetarians. Over the years, because there is no strong entertainment group as support, it actually has a sense of lower and lower market share.

Historically, it was for this reason that they were acquired by the Metropolitan Corporation in 1985, and then 10 years later, in 1995, they were reborn by Disney, which began its steadily developing career with "there are people behind it".

However, the history of this life has changed. The emergence of "Happy Hotel" has given ABC a great hope.

It is not difficult to make a good TV series.

But it is not something that ordinary people can do to produce a god-level TV series like "Happy Hotel".

Especially the actors who starred in "Happy Hotel" are either newcomers or a group of old people, but in this way, they can be so popular that they are unreasonable, which only means that the script is very good.

Who wrote the script?

Written by Yin Jun!

Originally, others boasted that Yin Jun was "the number one screenwriter in Asia" and "genius boy", but in fact, Americans did not believe it before. Even if they believed it, they felt that it had nothing to do with the United States.

But now Yin Jun proves with facts that he is not only the "No. 1 screenwriter in Asia", but is probably not an exaggeration to be called "No. 1 screenwriter in the world".

Many people may not remember that two years ago, Yin Jun actually sold a variety show to CBS. Its name is "Millionaire". After it started broadcasting in February last year, it has firmly occupied the ratings champion in the same period. At present, the average viewership has reached more than 30 million, which is definitely a popular variety show.

Moreover, "Transformers", a popular cartoon across the United States, was also aired on CBS, and also brought them a large number of children's viewers.

Not to mention that everyone in the North American branch of Qilin Group knows that the last time Tang Shuxuan came back from Xiangjiang, Yin Jun gave her three TV series and one variety show.

Now "Happy Hotel" has become a magical drama. Before "American Idol" has begun to enter the main competition, it has swept the entire United States and has attracted ratings. When its knockout round comes out, it may be another god-level variety show.

Therefore, the senior management of ABC believed that since Yin Jun could produce a "Happy Hotel", a "American Idol", and a "Millionaire" before, the remaining two scripts will definitely not be bad, and at least 30 million viewers will start.

Since Yin Jun has such strong ability to write scripts, asking him to tailor a TV series for ABC will definitely bring great changes to ABC. Let ABC have a leading TV series, just like "Happy Hotel", what's wrong with it?

Of course, they also knew that there was no free lunch in this world. If Yin Jun wanted to make such a TV script, ABC would definitely have to pay a lot of things.

abc made a very attractive proposal.

That is stock exchange.

Abc's current assets are about US$5 billion, while Disney's assets are about US$4 billion.

They intend to exchange 20% of their shares in equivalent to 25% of Disney shares.

In this way, everyone becomes an affiliated company, and Disney becomes the second largest shareholder of ABC, making it easier to do things in the future.

Tang Shuxuan refused without even asking Yin Jun.

She knew that Yin Jun had so much effort to borrow $3.7 billion and bought Disney and Lianyi Film Company just to own it solely and would not let outsiders restrict him.

Although abc is very good, as one of the major American TV networks, it is a powerful media group, but it is not that important for Yin Jun.

At least that's true now.

After abc's suggestion was rejected, they were not discouraged and continued to propose the second condition.

That is, this TV series is produced by two companies, with equal expenses and promotions all done by ABC. Disney has 60% and ABC40% revenue, but the two companies have to occupy the copyright of the production of this TV series.

Tang Shuxuan refused to ask Yin Jun for this condition.

Her answer was simple, "It's obvious that we Disney can do it ourselves, but we don't have money, so why do we share the profits and benefits for you?"

abc has no choice but to continue to propose the third condition.

The cost is still equal, and the copyright is half of the promotion and distribution of ABC, but ABC will further strengthen the publicity and attention of Disney TV channels, and their income is only 30%.

Tang Shuxuan did not refuse directly this time, but told Yin Jun.

As of now, ABC is the most important partner of Disney TV Channel. If there is no benefit, they will not get any of them, which may affect the future cooperation between the two companies.

Yin Jun naturally understood this truth.

But he also understood that the cooperation between ABC and Disney TV Channel was actually very fair. They gave Disney TV Channel convenience, and the programs broadcast on Disney TV Channel gave them greater fame.

With excellent ace programs, even if Disney TV Channel doesn't cooperate with ABC, other TV networks will immediately come to invite Disney TV Channel to their place.

Therefore, Disney TV channels have an advantage in this regard.

Otherwise, ABC would not have reduced its value again and again to seek cooperation.

Yin Jun is very ambitious about ABC.

In 1995, Disney acquired ABC for a sky-high price of 19 billion US dollars, thus winning another piece of the entertainment empire.

Disney is not yet time to swallow up ABC.

Even in 1985, four years later, the Metropolitan Corporation would acquire ABC for a mere US$3.5 billion, but Yin Jun would not rashly make the acquisition.

The first is that Yin Jun doesn’t have that much money.

The loan of $3.7 billion before was already Yin Jun's limit, which caused great trouble to the cash flow pressure of Kirin Group. If you borrow another $3.5 billion, Kirin Group will be directly overwhelmed.

Even though Yin Jun is able to pay off all the loans within 5-10 years, what Yin Jun has to do is not just acquire ABC. There are still many things to do in recent years, so you must not put all your funds on it and spend every day paying the loan interest.

The second is even more important.

Yin Juncai swallowed Disney and Lianyi Film Company in one breath. If he swallowed ABC in a short period of time, not only the US media giants would be extremely hostile to him, but even the US regulatory authorities would begin to focus on "care" Yin Jun and impose various restrictions on him.

In fact, if you want to get rid of this trouble, the solution is very simple.

That is to learn from Murdoch, and Yin Jun was directly naturalized in the United States. In this way, even if he acquires more media and entertainment companies, there will be no problem.

But how could Yin Jun enter the United States and his nationality?

So this method is destined to not work.

Since Yin Jun could not untie the knot, he could only temporarily endure it.

When he completely digested Disney and Lianyi Film Company and gained a foothold in Hollywood, he would talk about the acquisition of ABC.

Before this, it is very necessary for Kirin Group and ABC to maintain close ties.

Yin Jun will not get involved in how to negotiate terms with ABC. Tang Shuxuan has done a good job in this regard.

What he had to do was to bring out a few beautiful TV series to let everyone know that even if he changed the platform, he could create the ratings myth again and gain fame for the Kirin Group.

In fact, the TV series Yin Jun prepared for Disney TV Channel is not just the previous three.

Starting last year, after confirming that it could acquire Disney, Yin Jun began to take out the scripts in the safe of the "American drama" and began to organize and expand the content.

Now "Happy Hotel", "Dragon and Tiger Teenagers" and "Beach Rescue Team" have been given to Disney, and Yin Jun has three scripts that have already written the first season.

"Tianlong Special Attack Team"

Detective Hooker

"The Knight"

"Tianlong Special Attack Team" is a popular American drama broadcast by NBC TV in 1983. It is known for its excellent production and grand scenes. Its average viewership exceeded 30 million and is one of the leading NBC's signatures.

The later popular "24 Hours" actually borrowed the meaning of "Tianlong Special Attack Team" in terms of scene design.

In addition, "Tianlong Special Attack Team" also made a movie, and the response was also very good.

"Detective Hooker" is a TV series broadcast on ABC in 1982. It also has the main action, but the scene is not grand. There are also some love factors. It is a standard police and gangster drama with a viewership of more than 20 million, which is a little weaker, but it is a good TV series as a temporary choice.

According to Yin Jun’s knowledge and Hollywood habits, if "Detective Hook" has appeared, at least the filming will not start until the end of this year.

My own script was registered two years ago, and whoever does it will be destroyed.

The last movie "The Knight" is a very interesting and very famous TV series in China.

Its roughly contains a story about a police detective who changed his identity after being injured and drove a sports car to perform various tasks and fight crime.

What impressed the audience the most was the super cool sports car of the protagonist, which made the Chinese audience who had little experience in that era drool.

This TV series was also produced by NBC. It was in September 1982. Yin Jun made it now, so it is naturally impossible for any crash.

As for why ABC only requires one TV series, Yin Jun took out three.

The reason is very simple.

These are all high-quality TV series that will be produced next year and next year. If you don’t use it now, wouldn’t it be a waste?

As for why ABC wanted a magical drama like "Happy Hotel", Yin Jun only gave 20-30 million viewers a boutique TV series?

It's very simple, too.

Wouldn’t it be a waste to give such a good TV series to others?

I can't every TV series is a magical drama, right?

It depends on luck, right?
