Owning your own TV station is not a temporary idea to take care of Kate's program.

Now Chen Tian has his own film production company in the United States and a strong special effects team. He has a good relationship with other Hollywood giants.

But the gap between independent production companies and the seven major Hollywood players is huge. Although this year's matrix seems to have a trend of catching up in the box office, it is only temporary. Warner, Fox, Paramount, and Universal may be a little surprised and then sneer. It's no big deal.

This is true, because Matrix is ​​Chen Tiandu’s toy alone, and all the movies are currently made by him, which destined that Matrix cannot surpass the seven major Hollywood games.

The real problem lies in the publicity channel!

Chen Tian knew very well that if he wanted to become a strong independent company, he needed a lot of resources in the channel. Only when he had his own powerful media as a propaganda support would he be invincible. Otherwise, he would be abandoned at any time like the dilemma encountered in "Pirates of the Caribbean". Why did he take the Disney ride in a silly way because large companies own channels that are far from small production companies.

Although Disney will still release "Pirates of the Caribbean", he always turns against Disney and he doesn't want to wait until that day is caught off guard.

At present, the existing publicity resources he has are just Google's Internet resources. Although he is at the forefront of online marketing, this is not a manifestation of narrow resource channels. Fortunately, he still has 3.2% of Apple's shares, "By the way, should you perform your shareholder business? Apple's recent development is not very good."

But it will take several years to wait until the day Apple spreads all over the world.

And even if he owns these Internet resources, it is inevitable that he will seem a bit thin if he relies solely on this. Think about it, such as American Online behind Time Warner, which has television, the Internet, publishing, music, and even the Hilton Hotel... let alone the News Group behind Twentieth Century Fox.

Google is a comprehensive website and obviously cannot compete with these media giant groups that look at various fields. It also needs some media carriers closer to ordinary people, such as video websites, magazines, newspapers, and TV stations...

Among all kinds of media, Chen Tian almost didn't have to think about it and quickly chose TV station as his next target. This is natural. TV is the most influential media in people's lives now. You can not read newspapers, magazines, or video websites. But you always have to watch TV... Acquisition of a TV station is undoubtedly the best choice to expand your matrix business.

"Donny, let me introduce to you the general situation of American TV media first?" Chen Tiandu said.

Donny nodded and sent a copy of the information he had just sorted out to everyone around the sofa, saying: "There are more than 1,300 commercial TV stations in the United States. There are no detailed statistics on the specific numbers, and there are probably no more than 1,400. Among them, there are 172 companies covering the country, and almost most of these 100 companies are controlled by six major controls."

"There are 39 TV stations in Sony CBS, Viacom Paramount jointly controls 39 TV stations, Fox TV network (Fox) controls 37 TV stations, Warner's NBC owns 29 TV stations, Walt Disney Holdings' ABC owns 10 TV stations... Some of the remaining ones are various commercial, reality shows, news, sports, and pornographic theme TV stations."

Chen Tiandu interrupted him and said, "Get rid of the cable TV station, let's take a look first."

Although cable TV stations benefit from revenue from paid users, their communication channels seem too closed. Even if they are acquired, they will not have any influence in the short term.

The information is purchased directly from the Federal Communications Commission, which does not cost much, and will be listed in detail.

It includes basic information about these TV stations, such as which TV shows have been produced and which TV series have been released; and the current situation information and analysis of these companies, which companies have launched a bad TV series with poor ratings, resulting in a large loss; which companies have made another deal, and are probably in a debt crisis at present; and which companies' chairman has the intention to sell the company.

Kate walked behind at some point, and Maria smiled and made way for her to sit down.

Chen Tian has been looking through it for a long time, and now he sighs: "No wonder the six great masters have stood firm in Hollywood for nearly a hundred years, and they can have the possibility of rising even in the trough period. Just look at these information to understand."

Doramick pushed glasses and said, "This is not surprising. The right to speak and controlling public opinion across the United States is the foundation of their foothold. The United States can often change presidents, but the right to speak is in their hands. When their movies are released, various announcements will be ahead of other companies. We have experienced these many times. I highly agree with the matrix's acquisition of a TV station, and this TV station must have a certain influence and the audience targeted cannot be too thin."

Maria said: "It's risky to run a TV station, and it doesn't seem that easy to buy."

"Of course it won't be easy."

Donnie added with a smile: "The good news is that the six majors are not smooth sailing. Paramount is already in a financial crisis, and its UPN TV network is also heavily in debt. Warner's WB TV network is also poorly managed and is in a state of loss. There are many of them with huge losses, and they are looking for buyers to take action. These are our goals."

"How many?" Bill asked.

"Flip to page seven to take a look."

Everyone immediately started to read it, and the information on this page suddenly decreased. Kate also counted it and there were no more than 30.

Chen Tiandu spoke again and said, "Get rid of the TV stations that do not have production and rely solely on buying programs to play."

This requirement made Chuck and Bill nod frequently. Since he joined the matrix, he has been busy setting up a TV series creation department, and the hard work is the deepest touch. If he acquires another TV station and does not have the production capabilities, wouldn’t he have to start from scratch again?

If some bad movies are excluded, the small broken TV stations with miserable ratings will be clear at a glance.

In fact, it is not difficult for a TV station to establish its own production department, but with more production departments, it means that the company has more departments and more employees. The production cost is not only a huge expenditure, but also a lot of consumption of personnel and equipment. Generally, TV stations tend to buy programs and TV series from independent production companies, which will be much smaller. Even if they have their own production department, it is very simple.

The living room suddenly fell into a craze of discussion and analyzed one by one. During this period, Victor came over to remind him that he could have a meal, but it was temporarily postponed by Chen Tian.

As the goal became clearer, Chen Tiandu finally made the decision, "Let's just these two companies, let's contact them privately first, and try to win one of them before the end of the year."

Everyone immediately saw the target that Chen Tiandu had put forward.

upn is one of the 39 TV stations under Sony, Viacom TV Group, and wb is also one of the TV stations under Warner Bros.

"Wb Warner TV, upn Paramount TV?!" Chuck Noll was surprised and looked at her partner Bill, and couldn't help but feel a little happy and expectant.

Peck is a little worried about how much it will cost. "The U.S. Paramount Network is upn, but this is a big TV network covering the entire United States. Can it succeed by snatching things from Paramount?"

Donnie also quickly searched the information and sighed: "Wow, boss, I have to say, your vision is too accurate, they are in a financial crisis. And Paramount himself is difficult to take action, and it is more easy to acquire WB TV from Warner."

This made everyone excited. Bill said excitedly: "Then will we postpone our "Two and Half Men"? There is also the boss, your script "Big Bang Them", and you have not found a suitable actor yet."

"Two and Half Man" is a drama they created. When they joined the Matrix conference, the script that Chen Tiandu threw out was the "Big Bang Them", the ratings king that has been popular in the United States and even the world for many years since then!

It took him several months of traffic to download this series.

"Gentlemen, I don't think it's a good time to talk about TV programs now. Should I talk about the situation of this TV station first? They are not a matrix yet, right? And the conditions are so good that there must be many people who want to own this TV station, but why is no one taking over?" Maria always has the ability to cool down this group of excited men at the right time.

Chen Tian pinched his chin, "Let's aim at upn first and investigate in detail." Victor just happened to come over for the second time, and he continued: "It's time to eat, let's have a meal together. We haven't had a meal together for a long time. We have a second topic after dinner."

Everyone was stunned. This was not the purpose of coming. Then they lamented, "It's over, this Christmas."

"Three times the salary, double the bonus!" Chen Tiandu still didn't know what they thought. As soon as he said that, his lament suddenly turned into cheers, "The boss is so cool!", "Hehe, I like Christmas work!", "The worst thing is to cancel the vacation."...

As soon as the meal started, children who had not known where they had just flocked to appeared, happily, as if they were celebrating the festival. In fact, it was really a festival, and Christmas was coming soon. Moreover, Chen Tian even decorated the house so festively, with colorful lights everywhere, and when it was dark, it immediately became a paradise for children.

On the trees, on the road, on the beach, on the garden, and on the rooftops are full of monsters decorated in various strange shapes.

Americans don’t like to talk about business when having dinner, which is exactly the opposite of China.
