Although TV threatens the survival of Hollywood, TV programs, such as the content production of dramas, have to turn to Hollywood; Under the pressure of survival, Hollywood also had to lower its arrogant head and shoot TV dramas that they regarded as second-rate art.
Gao Xian means that instead of passively shooting TV dramas, it's better to actively do this business.
The change of business strategy is not as simple as touching the upper lip and the lower lip. After all, the profit model of TV series is different from that of movies.
In fact, Hollywood giants, including Paramount Pictures and Columbia Pictures, all intervened in this field in their own forms in the early stage of TV development, but they basically ended in failure.
For example, paramount became a shareholder of Dumont television network by buying the shares of Dumont laboratory, a TV manufacturer, and then got involved in the pay TV business. Under the supervision of the Federal Communications Commission and the commercial game of various forces, Paramount's calculations fell one by one, and all its investments failed.
At this stage, the water in the American TV industry is also very deep. With the emergence and maturity of cable TV, satellite TV and other modes, the competition for resources such as cable network and operation license is like black and will be in hot competition.
Of course, paramount doesn't need to wade in this muddy water. What it needs to do is to give full play to its expertise in content production and provide TV program content with a forward-looking attitude.
No big deal. After the brutal competition in the field of television is over and all resources are concentrated in the hands of a few oligarchs, they can enter through capital operation.
As for the qualified candidates, Gao Xian already knew well. Within two days, he asked each other out for a detailed discussion.
This man, Barry Diller, has served as vice president of ABC since 1965. His most dazzling achievement is the weekly film program, which can be regarded as creating the concept of "TV film".
Hollywood regards TV as second-class media, but the threat of TV can not be underestimated. Therefore, when TV with insufficient program content asks for movies, it charges high fees in order to suppress each other.
In this case, TV operators had to shoot low-cost films with a duration of about 90 minutes to meet their own program needs, so the form of "TV film" appeared.
The TV operation mode in the United States is different from that in Asia, so "TV film" is not very common for Asian audiences.
To give a slightly familiar example, the star club, which brings together celebrities including Andy Lau, Zheng Shaoqiu, Liu Songren, Stephen Chow, Wu Mengda, Guo Fucheng, Wan Ziliang and so on, is a TV film.
It can be said that TV film is the product of the mutual penetration of TV and film, and Barry Diller has rich experience in this field, so it's not too much to be an expert.
After Gao Xian and Barry Diller met, they didn't need to introduce each other too much. Gao Xian has long studied Barry Diller's resume thoroughly, and Gao Xian is no stranger to Barry Diller. Some days ago, the male protagonists kidnapped by the extremist organization symbiotic guerrillas alerted the American government and the public, and mobilized the efforts of the FBI, California, San Francisco and other levels to carry out rescue. Its weight can be imagined.
"Barry, how do you feel after working for ABC for so many years?" Gao Xian asked first with ease.
Barry Diller replied quietly, "not bad, happy work and full harvest."
"However, the vice president is not the leader after all." Gao Xian smiled. "Barry, don't you realize that your career development has met the ceiling?"
Barry Diller subconsciously stirred his spoon in the coffee cup without saying anything immediately.
Gao Xian said leisurely, "Barry, I asked you out this time to give you a real chance to be the president of paramount."
"You don't have to doubt the authenticity of this invitation. I am an important shareholder of paramount and have accepted the entrustment of Charles bludorn, the boss of Gulf and western industries, Paramount's parent company, to find a new president for paramount. You are one of my goals."
It has long been guessed that Gao Xian wants to dig his own Barry Diller. After hearing the position of "President of paramount", he still couldn't help showing surprise. "As far as I know, under the leadership of Robert Evans, Paramount's operation is commendable."
Gao Xian shrugged. "There is no feast that never ends. Robert Evans has his own personal ambition. At the same time, paramount also has a new development strategy, and you are more in line with this new development strategy."
Barry Diller said tentatively, "Gao, can you tell me why you chose me?"
"Of course, it's your excellent performance in ABC." Gao Xian said concisely and concisely: "Paramount's new development strategy is to actively face the media of television, and your senior resume in the television industry should help paramount."
Barry Diller nodded suddenly. "I see. I'm honored."
Gao Xian raised his eyebrows and showed off his strength: "although the film industry is going downhill, it is no secret in the industry, but it is a rare development opportunity for capable people."
"The supporters behind paramount are not only the parent company Gulf and western industries, but also me, according to the newspaper, a local rich man with oil fields."
"Therefore, there is no problem with Paramount's financial support. It depends on your ability and how high you can develop it."
"Of course, your treatment is easier to say, at least twice that of American advertising companies, and there will be room for improvement with the development of paramount."
Barry Diller thought about it for a while and then asked, "Gao, if I accept your invitation, can I bring a team over and appoint the position according to my wishes?"
"It shouldn't be a problem." Gao Xian smiled playfully. "Just, it's best for me to see them in advance."
"In addition, I have a tight schedule. You must move faster."
Obviously, Barry Diller attached great importance to this life opportunity from the sky. After turning around, he took several people to Gao Xian and enthusiastically introduced them: "Gao, this is my assistant Jeffrey kasenberg; this is Michael Eisner, the program director. However, he still wants to stay in ABC. I want you to convince him."
"Sure enough," he whispered in his heart, and couldn't help laughing.
