American Fortune Life

"On the surface, the decline of traditional media is accompanied by the decline of circulation, but in essence, it is the decline of traditional media's influence in its field. It is losing its status as a source of information, truth, opinions and trust. This aspect has nothing to do with it. The tightening of investment in the content field is related to the decline in quality. In recent years, the loss of core content talents of mainstream market-oriented newspapers and periodicals is an example.

If nothing else, it is no longer a suspense that things like newspapers will be ruined in the hands of our generation of journalists. We are still young, but the newspaper is old, and the elegy is faintly heard, and it is the day of leaving the temple in a hurry. What would happen to the world if Jesus lost the Church? Maybe there is nothing worse than that. . . But if all you lose is your chains, you may enter a new and beautiful world, where news is immortal and news is nirvana. . . "

The layoffs of "Newsweek" have finally attracted the attention of various media. After all, since Andy Smith took over "Newsweek", the performance of the newspaper has made great progress, and it is likely to rise again.

However, the revived newspaper office has inevitably started to lay off employees to survive the cold winter of the financial crisis. In addition, Tribune Newspaper and other groups have reported that they are rushing to choose buyers, hoping to get rid of the bankruptcy crisis. News, all of a sudden, articles that bad-mouth the newspaper industry abound.

Under such circumstances, Andy accepted an exclusive interview with his TV station news channel. After all, "Newsweek" has an extraordinary influence. Newspapers like theirs that seem to be operating well from the outside world have begun to lay off staff, which is bound to cause a lot of problems. Newspapers followed suit.

Facing the lens of the camera, Andy relaxed and crossed his legs, his eyes were bright and wise, his face was calm, and he spoke in a calm tone.

"...Due to the limited positioning of newspapers and the limitations of journalists' interviews, the high repetition rate of newspapers in the same area makes the existence of many newspapers seem meaningless, because people only need one newspaper to know what is happening in the area. Important news, homogenized competition has reduced many newspapers to tasteless.

Finally, it is also important to point out that advertising revenue, as the pillar of the media's financial income, "is not yet available to be self-responsible for its own profits and losses." Traditional media represented by the newspaper industry will naturally be unable to escape the fate of decline.

The rules of the game in the market economy are actually very clear. Whether it is traditional media or new media, it is a business. Whether the business is good or bad is determined by the ledger, the numbers on it will not lie, whether it is scolding or bragging, after caressing, you will be very self-aware. "

. . . . . .

In the president's office of AMC TV station, Andy stood there and his assistants and staff took off his microphone. After shaking hands with the news anchor of his own TV station, Andy watched the group leave.

He walked to the boss chair behind the desk and sat down, picked up the coffee on the table and took a few sips, stretched out his hand to loosen his tie, since Ivana used various food supplements to nourish him, he often felt physically weak. It's hot, not to mention it's midsummer.

After taking a few sips of coffee, although he was articulate, he was also a little thirstier, so he stood up helplessly and walked to the refrigerator beside him, opened it and took out a bottle of cold rain mineral water, opened it and drank it.

Boom——

"Boss, Mr. Plepler is here..."

"call--"

The cold feeling made Andy feel much better. He exhaled, looked back at the little assistant and said, "Let him in."

"Boss, this is the progress of the TV station's various projects during this period..." Plepler walked in, came to the desk, and handed the folder in his hands to Andy.

"Sit first." Andy put the frosted crystal bottle on the desk, reached for the folder, then sat on the boss's chair, opened the folder, and read it.

Looking at the data displayed on the document, Andy was also quite speechless. He was so popular at the Emmy Awards, and the ratings of "Mad Men" who won a lot of awards are really a little sorry for those awards. It can only be regarded as average, well, it is very generally.

On the contrary, the ratings of "Spartacus", which has been criticized in various ways, are gratifying.

The ratings of the last episode of the reality show "The Real Housewives of Beverly Hills" reached a new high.

Seeing the last three project application documents in the folder, Andy glanced at Plepler with satisfaction and said with a smile: "Yes, the efficiency is quite high."

Plepler smiled respectfully. Those three projects were all matters that the big boss in front of him paid attention to and explained. Naturally, he didn't dare to neglect and delay.

"Breaking Bad", "Shameless" and "Truth or Dare", two American TV dramas and a variety show reality show, have all been prepared, "Breaking Bad" has already started filming, and "Truth or Dare" "Also has selected several participants, and is conducting an in-depth understanding of the participants in order to dig out the true side of the participants' innermost beings and set up targeted questions for them.

The adaptation rights of "Shameless" have been bought from the UK, the crew has also been formed successfully, and casting work is in progress.

As one that frightens thousands of girls and discredits the social atmosphere. . . The old hooligan drama, "Shameless" is definitely the only favorite sao raunchy American drama in Andy's heart, so he also attaches great importance to it.

"Amy Rossum, have you agreed to play the eldest sister Fiona?" Andy saw the list of confirmed actors in the role list, saw Emmy Rossum's name impressively listed, and looked up at Plepler.

"Yes, the boss. After reading the script, she likes this role very much and wants to challenge it."

Andy nodded. He naturally knew that the role of the eldest sister, Fiona, was indeed very attractive, which was enough to attract the interest of many actresses. However, Emiro, who was also known as "Little Hepburn" because of her fresh and cute temperament Sen, recent private life has been a lot of trouble.

"Isn't she in a divorce lawsuit? Doesn't it affect the filming of the drama?"

Plepler shook his head helplessly and said with a smile: "The result is almost over. Justin Siegel cheated first, and his ridiculous request for alimony from Amy Rosen and for Amy to pay the divorce fee was rejected by the court. This ridiculous child's play marriage is over."

Andy nodded, and then said with a sneering smile on the corner of his mouth: "Amy Rossum is stupid enough, even though the media has exposed that her ex-husband's billionaire status is fake, she still chose to marry Give it to the other party, it’s okay now, it’s disgusting, it’s okay, this is very different from Fiona’s. I believe she can perform supernormally!”

"Ahem..." Plepler coughed lightly. He almost couldn't hold back his laughter at the big boss's complaints. After all, the big boss's positioning of the boss Fiona is "Love? I don't know how much I lost." Time, creation? The one who was on the scene even forgot himself. Married? Married, divorced. Mistress? Been, divorced. I have seen all kinds of worlds, and I have been in prison."

"Boss, do you want to arrange to meet the crew members..."

Hearing Plepler's words, Andy looked at the other person with deep eyes, pondered for a while and shook his head slightly and said: "Let's talk about it later, there are too many things going on recently, well, that's it, you go and get busy first. "

Seeing the back of Plepler leaving, Andy couldn't help shaking and laughing at himself, Nima, is it that everyone knows about his seductiveness? Why does this group of his subordinates always want to pull PI messages for him.

Well, Christina Hendricks, the big bear in "Mad Men", the fair skin, and the fox Jing temperament secretary, Christina Hendricks, didn't even have time to taste it, tsk tsk, Nima thought of the amazing arc of the other party, and just It gave Andy the urge to make a mian mess.

"call--"

Andy, who was already sizzling with love, had his inner flames aroused by his wild thoughts. After taking a deep breath, he stretched out his hand and pressed the answering machine.

"Come in!"

Soon the office door was pushed open, and a little assistant in a tight short-sleeved white shirt and a black gauze skirt walked in.

"Close the door."

Andy turned the direction of the boss chair, then raised his hands and crossed his head behind his head, looking like a grandpa waiting to be served.

After hearing the order from the Great Demon King, the little assistant naturally knew what he wanted, her eyes sparkled, and after the door was locked, she took off a silk square scarf on her wrist, then quickly gathered up her loose hair, folded it with a The square scarf that got up tied up a ponytail and walked to Andy. . .

Under the financial turmoil and the economic downturn, it is not easy to be an assistant or secretary!

After 40 minutes, the anger finally dissipated. Andy tidied up refreshed. He picked up the mineral water on the table and was about to drink it when he suddenly remembered something. He took out a bottle, opened it, and drank it. At this moment, the little assistant came out of the bathroom while wiping the water stains on his face, and gave the big devil an angry look.
