Although it was a celebration party organized by a girl who hoped that it would be as noisy as possible, there were too many MGM and two TV station managements present today, and the atmosphere of the party was not as noisy as before. Although there was music playing in the venue, it was opened There were also quite a few people dancing on the dance floor, but generally speaking, everyone gathered in small groups and chatted with champagne in low voices.
"The popularization of cable TV is already a general trend. The development of E! Entertainment and Brvao TV has lagged behind Lifetime, but compared with many cable TV operators who have not yet woken up, we still have plenty of time Yes, what you need to do next is to continue to increase investment in original content, increase the marketing efforts of TV stations, and get a firm foothold before other TV station operators wake up."
On the terrace overlooking the entire Los Angeles, Eric and Amy Pascal naturally occupied this position with an excellent view, and they were talking about the future development of the two TV stations.
"Eric, "Desperate Housewives" has already succeeded. Didn't you say that there is another reality show that is very suitable for Brvao TV?"
As the producer of "Beverly Girls", Kris Jenner was also lucky to be invited in this small group. After Eric finished speaking, the woman asked without any hesitation.
Although Amy Pascal and the others felt that Kris Jenner was too eager, they all looked forward to Eric. They also wanted to know Eric's other reality show idea.
In fact, creativity is the most indispensable thing in Hollywood, but whether it is a studio or a TV station, they often have a superstitious idea of authority. Once one of your projects is successful, then your next thoughts, will be admired by all. If you're just a penniless newcomer, it's hard to get Hollywood's approval no matter how creative you can come up with.
Eric nodded and said: "The idea of this reality show is similar to "Beverly Girls". It is also a reality show about life. The actors and potential audience groups participating in the reality show are all housewives. If Lee Hills starts recording, this reality show can be called "Beverly Housewives". However, compared with "Beverly Girls", this series of reality shows can do a lot, just in Greater Los Angeles, you can completely "Real Housewives of Beverly", "Real Housewives of Orange County" and "Real Housewives of Malibu" can be made, and if the analogy is extended to other regions, such as New York, San Francisco, Chicago, even overseas London or Paris, it is also applicable."
Amy Pascal and others looked at each other after hearing Eric finish speaking.
They all realized that if Eric's whole idea can really be made into a huge housewife series as he said, then this series alone is enough to support the original content of Brvao TV.
However, reality shows have a life cycle after all, and they are still skeptical about whether this series can continue.
Amy Pascal thought of something and said, "Eric, you just said that this housewife series can be made very big, it seems that "Beverly Girls" can't, why is that?"
"Young people like novelty. After "Beverly Girls", maybe we can develop a few more "Manhattan Girls", "Chicago Girls", etc., but these can easily make young people lose interest."
Of course, Eric knows that reality shows are easy to get high ratings, but they are also easy to lose the freshness of the audience. He explained: "However, the housewife series are different, because they are aimed at the group of housewives with a very fixed daily life pattern. , it can be said that the life of many housewives has been almost unchanged for decades. Once they get used to something, such as a TV show, then, out of habit, they will keep following it. So, I think, Compared with the "Beverly Girls" series, the life cycle of the housewife series will be very long, and the cost of such a reality show is very low, and it is even possible to develop several housewife reality shows in different regions at the same time, and broadcast them at different times out."
After saying this, Eric smiled and added: "Of course, this is just my guess, and everything needs to be proved by reality."
In the original time and space, the branches of the housewife series are very large, and Eric's reverse reasoning based on the results is basically a fact.
Kris Jenner is very excited at this time, if what Eric said can come true, as a producer, just this series is enough for her to maintain her position in the TV circle for more than ten years: "Eric , if this is really possible, the Brvao channel may never be short of TV programs."
Eric listened to Kris Jenner's implied compliment, shook his head and smiled and said: "It's definitely impossible, a popular TV show may allow a TV station to gain a lot of attention and ratings in a short period of time , but it is definitely not enough to support the development of a TV station. A good TV program is more like a kindling, if you want to keep the bonfire burning, you must keep adding fuel.”
In the past few years, although "Desire for the City", "Project Runway" and "America's Next Top Model" have always been the mainstay programs of Lifetime TV, Lifetime TV's investment in new program development and purchase of program copyrights has also been constant. spare no effort. As a result, Lifetime's overall ratings and financial revenue continued to rise, and Lifetime TV even opened up two sub-stations.
Continuous content investment, ratings and revenue increase have formed a very virtuous circle. As long as the management team does not make too stupid decision-making mistakes, Lifetime TV will continue to grow and develop in this virtuous circle.
Eric naturally hopes that E! Entertainment and Brvao can form such a stable and healthy development.
Three TV stations, one for urban elite female groups, one for housewives, and the last one attracts teenagers who are interested in entertainment, fashion and news gossip. Therefore, there are not many factors that may cause internal competition among the three TV stations. form a complementary state.
Since it was a celebration party, it was naturally not suitable for talking about business affairs all the time. Everyone communicated for a while, and soon dispersed, looking for interested guests and chatting.
Eric and the girl stayed on the terrace for a while, and when they were about to leave, Kris Jenner and his wife walked over with the three girls: "Eric, let me introduce, this is my daughter, Kurt Neil, Khloe, and you've seen it, Kim."
This was the first time that Eric saw the three Kardashian sisters face to face. The three girls were all under 20 years old at this time. They obviously didn't do much surgery, and they looked very young.
Eric has changed a lot of things. "Beverly Girls" and the future housewives series are enough to satisfy Kris Jenner's ambition. The other party obviously won't spend any more time on her own daughters. She is so shrewd Women, of course, will be very clear about how big it is to make their three mediocre daughters popular. It is estimated that there will be no reality shows like "Keeping Up with the Kardashians" in the future.
After hugging the three girls politely, Eric just looked at the familiar Kim Kardashian and asked with a smile, "What have you been doing lately?"
"Go to school," Kim Kardashian glanced at Drew who walked away with a smile, as well as her mother and stepfather who also left, and looked at Eric with a bit of a tone, and said, "I'm graduating from high school this year, and my mother plans to Let me go to USC Film School."
"Oh," Eric waved to a passing waiter, took a glass of champagne from his tray, leaned on the balcony railing relaxedly, and jokingly said, "Can you pass the exam?"
Although the USC School of Film is known as the school for the children of the rich, people from poor families and no connections, basically would not go to this department. Of course, if the grades are too poor, it is estimated that USC will take some face.
"Eric, it's really hurtful for you to say that," Kim Kardashian twitched and raised her hand, but didn't dare to hit Eric, just said: "However, I don't really have much confidence. I would like to study fashion design."
"This is more reliable," Eric nodded with a smile, and looked at the other two girls. Among the three sisters, Khloe Kardashian was the tallest, which naturally attracted Eric's attention, and said, "Your name is Kohler?"
Kohler Kardashian just saw her second sister and Eric seem to have a warm conversation, and she was a little jealous. Hearing Eric talking to herself, she nodded quickly: "Yes, Mr. Williams, I like you very much Movie."
"Oh, which one?"
Khloe Kardashian said shrewdly: "I like every movie, starting with "Home Alone."
The elder sister Kourtney Kardashian, who felt left out, dismantled her younger sister and said: "Kohler, you made a mistake, Mr. Williams's first movie was "Seventeen Back". "
"Of course I know," Kohler Kardashian rolled her eyes at her sister, and said, "However, I was only four years old at that time, and I also watched "Return to Seventeen" later."
Kim Kardashian saw her elder sister and younger sister start arguing in front of Eric, feeling a little ashamed, and quickly said to Eric: "Eric, can I invite you to dance together?"
"Oh, of course," Eric glanced at Kris Jenner and his wife not far away, who were talking to E! The president of the entertainment TV station chatted, and seemed not to care about this at all, and he didn't know what this woman was thinking about introducing the three daughters to him.
Although I don't have much interest in these three mediocre-looking girls, the current situation is quite interesting and even a bit exciting.
Hearing Eric's consent, Kim Kardashian glanced at her sister proudly, stretched out her hand, and walked towards the dance floor with Eric on her arm.
Seeing Eric and his sisters leaving, Kourtney Kardashian and Kohler Kardashian glared at each other and said in unison: "It's all your fault."
After the words fell, Kohler Kardashian immediately said: "You didn't pick it up first, and now it must have left a bad impression on Williams."
After all, Kourtney Kardashian felt a little unreasonable. She turned her gaze to Los Angeles at the foot of the mountain, leaned on the railing and looked at the lights of the entire city. After a while, she said enviously, "I really want to have a villa like this."
Kohler Kardashian naturally had the same thought in her heart, but at this time she still felt a little resentful for her elder sister to pick on her own language, and sarcastically said without hesitation: "Do you know how much this villa costs?"
Although Kourtney Kardashian was only visiting Drew's mansion for the first time, she heard what Kim said about coming here.
Although the area of this mansion is not too large, but because of its great location, the current conservative price is more than 15 million US dollars. According to the rate of real estate appreciation in Los Angeles, the value may rise to 20 to 30 million in the next few years Maybe.
Although both their biological father and stepfather are considered wealthy in the United States, their net worth still cannot afford such a villa.
Rubbing a few times on the smooth railings while thinking wildly, Kourtney Kardashian turned her head to look at the open-air dance floor not far away, but the lights over there were relatively dim, and she did not find her sister and Eric.
"I read in a magazine that Mr. Williams' net worth may be close to 150 billion U.S. dollars. I don't know what it feels like to have 150 billion U.S. dollars."
Khloé Kardashian gave her sister a blank look, and said: "Although it must be more than 100 billion US dollars, how can there be 150 billion US dollars? You read it as a gossip tabloid. However, if there are really 150 billion US dollars, we can Buying 100 of these villas at random without blinking an eye."
Kourtney Kardashian subconsciously said: "100 buildings, how much is that?"
Khloé Kardashian thought for a while, then shook her head confidently: "How do I know, you figure it out yourself."
Kourtney Kardashian glanced at the dance floor again, but still couldn't find her sister and Eric, and said with some regret: "It would be great if I could be Eric Williams' girlfriend Yes, he can help me buy such a villa with just a wave of his hand."
Kohler Kardashian remembered what happened just now: "He has been taken away by Kim now, just dream, it's all your fault."
"I didn't do it on purpose, obviously you made a mistake."
"If I'm wrong, you have to point it out. Are you still my sister?"
Kourtney Kardashian said quietly: "It's really not sure."
Kohler Kardashian immediately looked like a cat with blown hair: "You have the ability to dare to say that in front of your mother, and see if she doesn't beat you to death."
"I'm too lazy to argue with you," Kourtney Kardashian said just now, and immediately realized that she had made a slip of the tongue.
Whether it is their biological father or stepfather, the sisters are not afraid at all. Since they were young, they are only afraid of their strong and pungent mother. If their mother knows what happened just now, they will inevitably be slapped.
Feeling that her elder sister was subdued, Kohler Kardashian proudly said: "Hmph, be careful, I will tell my mother."
"Go ahead and talk about it," Kourtney Kardashian said, but once Kourtney Kardashian is not afraid of her little sister's threat, it's no wonder she dared to talk about such a sensitive matter with her mother.
Kohler Kardashian naturally didn't dare to say it. Seeing that her threat was ineffective, like her sister, she looked towards the dance floor with some expectation and said, "Let's go over there, maybe we can talk to William later." Dance with Mr. Mus."
Kourtney Kardashian nodded, and said again: "Did you hear just now that Kim called Williams by his name directly? Tell me, let's call him that too, shall we?"
"I don't know, if I want you, you call first?" Kohler Kardashian immediately urged.
Kourtney Kardashian was a little moved, then shook her head in a blink of an eye, and found an excuse for her timidity: "Mom said let's be more polite." (To be continued.)
