411 Chapter 409 (1/2)
This wave of confrontation between Lyman and Andrew is a kind of exchange of interests after both sides have calculated.
Lehman doesn't want to use the advertising division, and he is betting that ”Prison Break” will become popular, so the long-term benefits are far more worth fighting for than short-term benefits—for example, the current film and television drama market in the distant homeland is not standardized.
But in the future, it will certainly be taken seriously, and it is good to seize the opportunity.
”Prison Break” is a phenomenon-level enlightenment American drama over there. On the contrary, there is no such momentum here in the United States. It can only be said that it is not bad, so that it will not break 7 or 8 like ”Friends”.
Why do you say that?
It may be that some of them have been exposed to American dramas very early, but they have always been a very small circle.
Until 2004 and 2005, the market for American TV dramas suddenly blew out in the Mainland.
The madness of chasing drama.
”Prison Break” has caught up with the best time.
Because I used to watch those American dramas through pirated discs, and when ”Prison Break” started broadcasting, it encountered a breakthrough in bt download technology.
Many of the popular American dramas at this time are spread on a large scale by the trend of new media such as blogs and forums.
For newcomers, the plot of ”Prison Break” is cooler, more suspenseful, and easier to accept.
When the dug pit is filled and there is no suspense, it is also the biggest key to ”Prison Break” not so prominent in the United States.Of course, now it’s not as water-filled as the original version, and the stamina must be plenty.
As for why the mainland has become a phenomenon, there are actually several reasons.
The first one is definitely the change in internet speed and quality, from squeaky kittens surfing the Internet to broadband, otherwise the bt download technology will break through and there will be no soil for cultivation;
The second is the rise of subtitle groups. It is difficult to enjoy the viewing experience when you come into contact with American dramas and do not understand English;
The third is justified. Many student groups can learn English directly on the grounds of watching American dramas, and they are supported by many parents and teachers.
How did the number of viewers soar at that time?
for example.
At that time, the forum was down. It was not like the current social media that caused the server to crash because of star following or some very popular scandal news. On the contrary, the weekly update of ”Prison Break” caused crazy discussions. The forum server went down.
Its charm is immeasurable for a while.
Of course, no matter how high the amount of BT downloads, Lehman can't make a dime from there now, but the market foundation laid in advance is undoubtedly a good move for companies in the film and television industry.
But for Andrew, he certainly didn't have such a long-term vision.
He was able to agree to this condition because he was betting on the name Lehman, and the future market value would definitely not be decadent.
Right now, WB TV does not have many very competitive programs, and its market share is completely incomparable with other companies. It can be said that it has already stood on the edge of a cliff. If it retreats, the TV station will definitely not escape the fate of reorganization.
He himself hadn't been warned like this.
Furthermore, many of the programs produced by TV stations are not very competitive.
Not to mention that profit is not profit, you can't even go on the road, and it is useless to make a little bit more.
The TV stations are gone, and I have been fired, so why are they fighting?
In fact, if the TV station had not supported the ratings of ”Prison Break” and its own news section had some background, the financial statements of the last few months would have been ugly.
In this way, there are dramas with market potential and indirect or direct advertising costs-more than 50 minutes of content inserted six advertisements, and a total of more than 130 million US dollars.
The TV station's revenue is close to more than 83 million.
A wave of blood came back.
