Head-to-head with Hollywood Text Volume Chapter 788 Dunn was the first to visit the largest and oldest public television station like NBC. At 8 o'clock the next day, Dunn and Steve Burke and his group joined together and went to the 30th Building at Rockefeller Center, which is the headquarters building of NBC. On the way, Dunn has a feeling. New York...is really a financial and economic business center. In the morning work period, the flow of people is too high. In Los Angeles, that is, Disneyland and Universal Studios, you can see such crowded scenes. Moreover, almost all men are in suits and leather shoes, and they have already started their busy work while walking quickly and talking on the phone. Compared with the dull and slow West Coast, the pace of life on the East Coast is really much faster. When I arrived at the entrance of the headquarters building, I saw a lot of people lining up there. Two arrogant black guards with electric batons in their hands were maintaining order. It's like going through a plane security check, it's very strict. "They are tourists, so they need to check. We don't need to, just go in." Seeing Dunn stop, Steve Burke quickly explained in a low voice. Tang En smiled and shook his head slightly. He was just curious. Then, I heard one of the tall blond girls gently ask with a Nordic accent: "Is there a fee for visiting?" I saw the black doorman, pouting his lips with disdain and said: "Of course there is a fee! Here It's New York!" Good guy, the tone is really big! A doorman can be proud and ignore these foreign tourists at all. This is probably the most prosperous, but also the most indifferent city in the world. After a short pause, the NBC staff warmly walked over to greet him. Surprisingly, the leader turned out to be the beautiful and talented Maria Bartiromo! She is the ace host of CNBC's financial channel and is probably the common goddess in the hearts of American elite men. She is not only a host, but her opinions on the stock market, economy, finance and other aspects are different and intrusive. Even group presidents like Goldman Sachs and Citigroup have to pay homage to her and read her columns every day. Before the dotcom crisis, she had repeatedly called on investors to be cautious and wary of irrational exuberance. Of course, she is also a very beautiful woman, and she is only 37 years old this year. Dunn did not fantasize, but it did not hinder her admiration for her talent. A woman can become famous and respected in New York, especially in Manhattan, an area with a very prominent patriarchal atmosphere, which is probably what Oprah can do. The next process is very simple. Visit, explain, tell jokes. With the attitude of speaking less when he can speak less, Tang En followed the army. I have to say, NBC Group... is really a big company! too big! "This is the live recording room of the Oprah show. The cameras here are all HD cameras, and each one is worth millions of dollars." Although two NBC vice presidents followed the delegation, Maria Bartirome remains the keynote speaker. She's the host, and she's eloquent. Dunn saw that Ella Fisher, who was wearing a skirt, was trembling with cold, and frowned: "Here... will the cold air be too much?" Maria Bartirom said helplessly. : "There are six heads in total, and there are more than 360 large and small spotlights on the ceiling. If there is no air conditioning, it will be a huge stove with a very high temperature when the broadcast starts. Even on a rest day, the low temperature... It is also good for condensing water vapor, thus protecting all the video equipment and lamps." Dunn said displeased: "But this kind of cold air is very unfriendly to women!" It is now May, and the weather is slightly hot. But the entire Rockfield Center building is full of air conditioners, and the temperature is... very low. Men are fine, they all wear suits, but what about women in professional dresses? Indeed, machismo prevails! When Maria Bartirom looked at Dunn, she became a little closer, and said lightly: "This is the case in the whole of New York, here is the largest refrigeration and air conditioner. Fortunately, we women are used to it. , Antifreeze." Steve Burke said half-jokingly: "Oh, it's almost the same. Women need to learn to resist freezing, men need to learn to resist heat, this is the law of survival in New York." Dunn had nothing to say. Yes, took off the blazer and put it on Ella Fisher. This heart-warming picture was immediately captured by the accompanying cameraman with a camera. Whether it was the inspection group or the reception group, they looked at Tang En and got a little closer. As for the female staff, they looked at Ella Fisher with envy, jealousy and hatred. Next, I went to the music program video room, which is probably the largest studio in the whole building. There are two main stages, which can be switched alternately during broadcast. The most fun is when visiting the Weather Forecast Live Room. There is a low-cut female host who is lively broadcasting the weather forecast for the day. I have to say that I am really talented. In such a low temperature environment, I can still show off my eloquence and talk about the weather, and make the weather forecast like a funny joke. The sports studio... is being newly renovated in preparation for this summer's Olympics. For many years, NBC has been the exclusive broadcaster of the U.S. Olympic programming. The further up you go, the higher the confidentiality. After the 20th floor, ordinary tourists cannot go there. The 23rd floor is the production center of the TV series. Steve Burke is very interested in this place and needs to focus on it. Although Tang En was here for the first time, he knew it very well. The person in charge here before... is now his subordinate, Jeff Zucker of the TV and Media Department. NBC broadcasts a large number of TV programs every year, so TV program production is a top priority. The director of the TV program production center is also one of the most powerful executives in the entire NBC group. Here, about 20,000 program applications are received every year! Almost all TV producers and directors from all over the world come here to apply for projects. Among these 20,000 projects, NBC will conduct a series of competitions to select about 500 draft TV projects with more development value. Then, 30,000-50,000 dollars will be provided to the applicants of the project, so that they can first write a detailed script, content planning and storyboards for an episode. If the writing is not good, it will be eliminated; if the writing is good, it will pass and go to the next link. According to the theme of the project, NBC will provide project funds of 300,000 to 3 million US dollars and provide it to the application team of the project, so that they can shoot an episode first according to the settings. Check out the effect. If the shooting is good, the project can be formally established and the project can be truly photographed. If the test results are poor, then I am sorry, and can only be eliminated. This is almost a self-made mode that major TV stations such as CBS, ABC, and NBC will adopt. Although not very efficient, the risk is minimal. This is the most traditional TV production mode. Of course, the main OOs are mostly newcomers and some lesser-known project teams. If it was a well-known TV producer like J.J. Abrams, I'm afraid he would be robbed. "Dawn, this year Universal Television Group... is also starting to increase the production of TV series?" Steve Burke visited with his hands behind his back, listening to the careful introduction of the NBC staff, his expression was indifferent. NBC's self-produced TV show has had terrible ratings over the past few years. Apart from "Friends" and "Seinfeld," there are few shows that catch the eye. Steve Burke has great ambitions. After he left Disney, he was determined to build an entertainment empire comparable to Disney. NBC is one of his goals. Producing high-quality TV shows that can fire is the best way for NBC to self-feed. If you want to change, it must be a change in the production mode. He wants to choose the best. Dunn made a light "um" sound. "Is your project selection also this model?" Steve Burke asked curiously. Tang En laughed and said, "How is that possible? The TV series that we promote are all planned and planned by me personally, and they are immediately launched. How can there be so many complicated procedures?" Steve Burke rolled his eyes. Almost fainted. One person can wrap up more than a dozen TV shows that Universal TV will produce in a year? Including reality TV and TV series? This is a BUG! Ella Fisher was wearing Dunn's suit jacket, and a touch of pride and pride appeared on her pretty face~www.novelhall.com~ Such a large TV production center, hundreds of staff members, Have a fart? Not as good as Dunn alone! Steve Burke asked reluctantly: "Starz TV broadcasts so many high-quality TV programs, as well as a lot of content from Discovery Communications Channel... Is it all up to you?" Dunn shook his head and said, "This is the The leading effect has come. I personally planned several TV programs, set the template, and gave them a good lead. They will naturally understand how to do the next work. It is impossible for me to do everything for such a large company.” “The leading effect ?" Steve Burke was a little bitter. New Universal has you, so it has a leader, which can drive the overall value expression. However, who is the leader of NBC? There is only one Dunn Walker in the whole world! Ella Fisher pursed her lips and smiled: "Mr. Burke, don't worry. As far as I know, NBC and New Universal have reached a cooperation agreement for two TV series, as well as the previously renewed "Universal Super League". Model Contest" and "The Bachelor" two reality shows, NBC already has four excellent TV shows!" Dunn laughed, patted Steve Burke on the shoulder, and said, "That's the truth! New Universal is the leader, and the four TV shows are enough to drive the revival of NBC!" NBC's reception staff looked at each other, looking at Dunn and Steve Burke like a fool. Are these two insane? With four TV shows, New Universal can lead NBC with a leading role? It's not like bragging, is it? Steve Burke is even more exaggerated. Now NBC is still an asset of General Electric and has nothing to do with Comcast! What is your attitude? It seems to have been eaten. It completely treats NBC as its own turf. How can one be more arrogant than the other? Is this the attitude of the big man? Please remember this book's first domain name: . Mobile version reading website:
