In addition to the filming of several movies, the copyrights of several variety shows under Tianxia Production, such as "Survivor" and "Big Brother", were sold very smoothly.

The two variety shows, "Survivor" and "Big Brother", have become very popular after being broadcast in the United States because of their novel form, high ratings and high topics. The ratings have always remained high, becoming the treasure of the TV station.

Its success naturally attracted the attention of many TV program production companies. Like the film industry, in fact, good ideas are scarce in the TV industry, especially the program ideas that have been proven to be successful, and they can be called "hot cakes".

A good program creativity can make a lot of money on TV stations, make production companies reach the top, and can attract many big stars.

For example, after "American Idol" was aired on Fox TV, its ratings remained high for more than ten years. Not only did it earn a lot of advertising fees for Fox TV, but it also made many new stars famous in the entertainment industry.

Because this show is very well-known, many big-name stars are willing to make guest appearances or even be judges. Making money and gaining popularity can be said to kill two birds with one stone.

The domestic "Running Man, Brothers" also made a lot of money for Blueberry TV. Every time the host changes, it will cause a lot of noise in the circle.

Many agency companies want to stuff their artists in, and they fight openly and secretly for this, which can be said to be even more bizarre than "The Scheme of the Palace".

"Survivor" and "Big Brother" have become popular after it aired on Columbia TV and Snow Media's cable channels, and have proved its worth.

As the saying goes, a family of women asks for a hundred families! When a TV program production company sees such a popular program, it naturally wants to come and get a share.

Tianxia Production then authorized the copyrights of the two variety shows "Survivor" and "Big Brother", including production companies from Canada, the United Kingdom, France, Germany, Denmark, Finland, Australia, Patsima, New Zealand and other countries.

This not only greatly increased the popularity of "Survivor" and "Big Brother", but also produced for the world, to be precise, brought a lot of income to summer.

Because the copyright of these two programs is summer, Tianxia Production is only responsible for helping him sell, and only earns a little agency fee at most.

More than a dozen production companies introduced copyrights, which brought nearly 150 million US dollars in revenue to the summer, which was a small profit.

And this is just the beginning. In the next few years, as long as these companies continue to produce "Survivor" and "Big Brother", they will continue to pay for summer copyright fees. Moreover, Tianxia Production can also adjust the licensing fees according to the ratings of their programs.

In short, these two shows can make at least $2 billion in summer. With such a high profit, it is no wonder that the TV program production company has worked hard and has to develop its own program creativity.

...

Although he made a small profit of 150 million US dollars, Xia Tian didn't care.

Such a little money is just a small fortune to him.

What he really cares about is a big business worth tens of billions of dollars.

In 1998, Microsoft began to gradually promote its new operating system, Windows 98.

Windows98 is also a 16-bit and 32-bit operating system. Compared with Windows95, it has the following advantages.

First, it fully integrates Internet standards, and uses Internet technology to simplify the desktop, making it easier for users to find and store information on computers and the network; second, Windows 98 is faster, more stable in performance, and has self-maintenance and update functions; third, Windows 98 has also made great improvements in functions and security compared to Windows 95.

These are the advantages of Windows 98.

In Xia Tian’s view, Windows 98 is a major impact on Tianxia Technology. If it is not conducive to the response, Tianxia Technology may encounter great trouble.

One reason is that Windows 98 has really advanced functions. It comes with more than 1,900 hardware drivers, which eliminates the user's trouble of finding drivers and makes its installation more convenient and fast; it improves the user interface and makes the operation easier and faster; it also launched a new file system fat32, which allows users to get nearly 30% of the storage space on average; Windows 98 supports directx5.0, which can enable users to enjoy better audition.

In comparison, although the genius operating system has been improving over the years, because the system is too fragmented, overall, the progress is not as obvious as Windows 98.

Because the genius operating system is a free and open source operating system and is very easy to transplant, it has been widely used. Computers, CNC lathes, mmcd players, medical machinery, and atm machines...

Because the carriers are different, the genius operating system often needs to "cut the foot and fit the shoe" to meet the needs of the carrier by adding and decreasing various functions. This makes it possible that although it is the same genius operating system, there may be differences between the world between the system.

Also because the system is too fragmented, the upgrade faces great difficulties. Because there are too many things to worry about during the upgrade and too much debugging work is required to avoid problems after installation.

In comparison, the Windows operating system is supported by the Wintel Alliance, and all hardware is almost standardized. For example, although the motherboard models are different, the chipset and driver are almost the same.

In this way, the debugging work is greatly reduced, which naturally accelerates the speed of Windows upgrade. As long as users purchase Wintel Alliance products to assemble computers, they can basically install the Windows system without any problems.

Therefore, this is also an advantage for users.

In the next step, summer preparations should also strengthen the standardization of the genius camp to make system installation and debugging easier, so as to compete with Windows for the market.

Otherwise, Windows will likely drive the genius operating system out of the civil computer field with its easy installation, easy upgrade and easy operation.

Second, Windows 98 integrates a large number of Internet software. For example, the outlook-express, which sends and receives emails and reads news, has the function exactly the same as the summer lightning mailbox. Moreover, the outlook-express is provided with the system, and users can use it directly without downloading it. This is a very big threat to the summer lightning mailbox;

Microsoft-net-meeting can provide users with online video conferencing services. This software is exactly the same as Kuaike Chat in Summer;

Microsoft -front -page, a web page editing software, its feature is that what you see is what you get, it is simple and convenient to operate, and basically you can use Word to design your own web pages.

In this way, the future Internet may be all web pages designed by frontpage, so Microsoft will have the right to speak on the Internet.

Microsoft-net-show is a network multimedia platform with basically the same functions as the digital advertising platform under Xiatian.
