Three hours after takeoff, after having a lunch equivalent to European local time on the Boeing 767, the atmosphere in the cabin became relaxed, and some people even borrowed the guest bedroom to rest.
During this period of time, Nadja Orman basically said hello to everyone in the cabin, and she was able to establish a preliminary network of contacts.
However, due to language issues, she was unable to talk too much, which made Nadja Orman determined to arrange English classes for herself as soon as she got off the plane.
Beautiful women always have some inherent sense of superiority.
In the past, I always felt that my body was already good enough, God was taking care of me, and of course I didn’t need to pay too much in other aspects.
After experiencing this flight and seeing people and things on a higher level than herself, Nadja Orman once again felt motivated to make progress.
Of course, if you can catch a certain man, your progress may be a hundred times faster.
After patiently observing for a long time, after the meal, I finally found an opportunity where I thought I could be alone. I followed quietly and came to the lounge between the front cabin and the middle cabin of the plane. I found that the man was blocked by another woman, but it was Jerry. ·Hall.
He hid in the corridor and didn't get closer, but he didn't retreat either. He was curious to see what the two of them would do.
He couldn't even help but have some other thoughts.
The two of them did nothing. Although, she clearly felt that if the man took the initiative, the woman whose figure and temperament did not belong to her would definitely eagerly cater to him. However, a man and a woman just chatted casually. Until the end, the woman seemed to quietly complain a few words about the man's incomprehensible amorous feelings, and even told her the address of her residence in Manhattan.
Then there were vague whispers.
and some other sounds.
I didn't dare to look around, but I could imagine where the crisp slapping sound was.
Accompanied by the woman's anger, the man left with a smile.
When the matter was over, Nadja Orman only stayed for a few seconds before a tall figure as tall as her flashed over. Without any hint of guilt, he came close and forced her against the wall: "Have you heard enough? "
She wanted to threaten her, but the woman aggressively grabbed her chin and kissed her.
Suddenly I felt a little confused.
A full minute passed, and when she realized what she was doing, the woman had already left with a smile, leaving behind a very nonchalant "little chick".
Some frustration.
I regret that I was too weak just now.
When she could overlook the outline of the East Coast of the United States through the port window, Nadja Allman felt that the eight-hour flight seemed very short.
Arriving in New York, it was still around 11 o'clock in the morning on September 30th on the East Coast of the United States.
Because of New York Fashion Week and Fashion TV, Simon planned to stay on the East Coast for a few days, and the couple and most of the others got off the plane in New York.
However, there are also some people who are going to Los Angeles and will set sail again later.
People who got off the plane left the airport through the VIP channel. Everyone said goodbye again and started going their separate ways.
Of course, the main destination must still be Manhattan.
Then again, Nadja Orman noticed the disparity between the group.
The Westeros couple has a dedicated fleet of cars, and Madonna also has her own full-time driver. Others are either sent by the company or picked up by the hotel. But she herself, because she forgot to communicate with the company in advance, was too embarrassed to ask for a ride. , finally, when everyone left, she could only quietly take a taxi, and waited for half an hour before taking a taxi.
When the taxi finally drove out of JFK International Airport, she even had a faint feeling of wanting to cry while sitting in the car.
I felt like a princess in distress.
Just a moment ago, he was enjoying being surrounded by thousands of people in the palace, but in the blink of an eye, he lost everything and ended up living in the slums.
At a certain moment, the idea of climbing up at all costs became even more determined.
The four major fashion weeks are back to back, and today is the first day of New York Fashion Week.
As a local luxury brand in the United States, CK’s fashion show is scheduled for October 3, Saturday.
After everyone got off the plane, they rushed to their destinations. Simon and his wife also rushed to the apartment on Fifth Avenue.
After talking to Sofia about Fashion TV last night in Milan, Simon sent an email to Robert Egger here in New York before going to bed.
The next day is Thursday, October 1st.
It’s officially October.
Arrive at Daenerys Entertainment’s East Coast headquarters in Greenwich, Manhattan in the morning to formally discuss fashion television with Robert Iger.
In Western countries where media control is relatively loose, establishing a TV station is not as high-end as imagined.
Even some private individuals can transmit TV signals by themselves, just like what Mike Myers did in "The Stars". A studio in a basement or garage, a set of TV signal transmitting devices, and that's it. There are even more underground radio stations in the West.
Of course, if you want to operate commercially, you also need to apply for a formal TV license.
However, applying for a TV license is actually very easy.
It’s just that it’s more difficult going forward.
Running a TV station is definitely very expensive and requires sufficient resources and channels.
None of this is a problem for Daenerys Entertainment now.
Simon has been more inclined to acquire TV stations in the past. However, there are currently no large-scale fashion TV stations. If an acquisition is adopted, it will inevitably be a joint venture with other companies, and the rewards and efforts are not proportional.
So I plan to start from scratch.
After detailed discussions over the next two days, Simon and Egger roughly confirmed a plan.
There was no need to think too much about the name of the TV station. Since Fashion TV in the original time and space had not yet been established, Simon just used it and asked the Daenerys Entertainment team to apply for the Fashion TV trademark in various major countries.
Next.
The first thing is to form the team of the TV station.
The television industry in the United States is very developed and has a rich talent pool. It is not difficult to find a person in charge who is suitable for gradually establishing a fashion TV station.
During the discussion with Simon, Iger had already found several backup candidates.
Of course, more detailed follow-up contact is needed to confirm the other party’s ideas and compensation plan.
A more detailed operation team will also be formed at the same time, including the programming department, marketing department, advertising department, etc. Some businesses can be directly handled by Daenerys TV's existing team for the time being.
After confirming the team, it is time to create a program list, contact channel operators, try to contact potential advertisers, etc.
The follow-up work is relatively detailed and scattered.
However, Fashion TV will basically follow the operating model of existing sports TV stations.
The main content of the more successful sports TV stations in the United States, such as ESPN, is all kinds of advertisements.
For Fashion TV, the main broadcast content will be various fashion shows.
The fashion weeks that ordinary people are more familiar with are often only the four major fashion weeks in spring and autumn every year, but in fact, there are absolutely thousands of various fashion shows held every year around the world.
Unlike the broadcast rights of sports events, which require huge sums of money to purchase, the copyrights of fashion shows tend to be news-oriented. In order to pursue their own exposure, fashion brands cannot ask TV stations for the broadcast fees of fashion shows, just like they cannot ask magazines. The cost of covering one's own brand show is the same, and sometimes, it even has to be reversed.
This gives Fashion TV a content cost advantage that far exceeds that of sports channels.
On the basis of a large number of fashion shows, Fashion TV will also develop fashion-related commentary programs, talk shows, news programs, etc.
When it reaches a certain scale, Fashion TV can also organize its own exclusive fashion competitions or awards, just like the MTV music awards, which can further expand its influence.
In terms of channels, Fashion TV will mainly broadcast through cable and satellite platforms.
In doing so, you can also target your audience more accurately. Cable and satellite TV users are relatively more receptive to such professional and fashionable programs.
With the current strength of Daenerys Entertainment, several major cable television operators in North America such as Comcast, Warner Cable, and Telecommunications will not reject the TV station established under Simon's personal leadership.
Simon also plans to launch the TV station in Europe at the same time.
Cooperation partners in this area are also readily available.
Sky Broadcasting Company, a cable and satellite TV operator owned by News Corporation, is headquartered in London, but its user base covers most countries in Europe.
The plan is finalized, but preparations cannot be completed overnight.
It is already October 1992. According to preliminary plans, Fashion TV will be launched in February next year. The five-month preparation time will coincide with the 1993 spring fashion week.
The Simons were in New York until Sunday.
After finalizing the basic plan of Fashion TV, I also participated in CK's fashion show and returned to Los Angeles on Sunday afternoon.
Hollywood's "The Crying Game", a key project of Gomen Pictures personally selected by Simon, opened on a small scale with 37 screens in North American theaters on September 25.
This outstanding political thriller drama has received unanimous praise from the North American media. After the premiere, the comprehensive film review score reached 9.4 points.
If it were just that, "The Crying Game" might not arouse much response from the audience.
What ultimately made the film's reputation and popularity spread was the twist that the 'heroine' in the film turned out to be a man.
The Gomen Pictures team also cleverly adopted a mysterious marketing strategy.
Under the operation of the publicity team, most film critics, while expressing their approval of the film, also invariably and implicitly mentioned the "big twist" in the film.
Just like the original "The Sixth Sense".
This reversal has gradually attracted the attention of more and more people.
In its first week from September 25th to October 1st, "The Crying Game" earned US$1.26 million on 37 screens in North America, with an average of more than US$34,000.
As the film's reputation and popularity continued to spread, the number of screening screens increased to 86 in the second week, but the average theater price still reached US$31,000. In the week from October 2 to October 8, it continued to earn US$2.67 million.
Within two weeks of its release, the cumulative box office of "The Crying Game" has reached $3.93 million.
The production cost of this movie was only $3 million.
In other words, it only took two weeks for "The Crying Game" to exceed its budget at the box office.
However, everyone discovered that this was obviously just the beginning.
In the third week that started on October 9, in order to arouse the curiosity of the audience as much as possible, Gaomen Pictures still did not launch large-scale screenings, and the number of screening screens was only increased to 155.
According to the plan, the screening scale next week will not expand too much and will still remain within 200 yuan.
After four weeks, when the audience's expectations for "The Crying Game" reach their highest, Gomen Pictures will increase the screening scale of the film to about 500 yuan. Then, this screening scale will continue throughout the end of the year until the arrival of the awards season.
As a low-cost independent film with a niche genre, it cannot be rolled out at once like a commercial film.
This long-term distribution strategy is the most correct.
Simon returned to Los Angeles and began to pay attention to Daenerys Entertainment's release plans for several movie schedules at the end of 1992. At the same time, the 1992 U.S. presidential election also entered the final sprint.
When the current President George Bush and his opponent Bill Clinton were engaged in the final game of back-and-forth, the biggest variable in the 1992 election appeared again.
On October 12, Ross Perot, an independent candidate from a third party who announced his withdrawal from the presidential election three months ago, suddenly publicly announced that he would re-enter this year's presidential election.
Ross Perot took direct aim at George Bush this time, accusing the White House of manipulating the FBI to ruin her daughter's wedding.
After announcing his withdrawal from the race in July, Ross Perot disappointed a large number of voters who supported him, but his popularity has remained.
Moreover, under the operation of thoughtful people, in the few months since Perot withdrew from the election, news about his possible comeback has not stopped, which has also ensured Perot's popularity to a large extent.
Now, rejoining the election, Perot has quickly regrouped a large group of supporters, although he has faced fierce criticism from conservative media.
On the other hand, after announcing his re-election, Ross Perot also showed very obvious targeting.
There is only one month left until the final general election vote.
However, in this month, Perot's campaign lobbying plans have basically focused on states and counties where George Bush leads in support, such as Florida and Texas.
To the discerning eye, the purpose of this is obvious.
As a conservative, Ross Perot's actions will undoubtedly further dilute George Bush's votes in these states and counties where he is already in an advantageous position.
At the same time, in the last month, the media offensive from all major camps has become increasingly fierce.
Now that it has chosen to take a side, as the Yigret portal currently caters to almost the entire Internet user base, it has also shown a clear preference for Bill Clinton during this period.
In the Yigrit information section, anyone who is a little careful can find that the news about Bill Clinton far exceeds that of George Bush. Not only that, many of the news about Bush are negative.
After another half year of rapid development, the current number of Internet access users in the United States has exceeded 24 million.
Therefore, even if they were insensitive to the rise of Internet media platforms, the Bush team realized that something was wrong and began to use various means to try to require the Yigrit Portal to show its due neutrality.
