Chapter 231 Born Noble
It was the first time Tommy had heard someone question Rick Luthor's lack of sincerity, you know, although this guy with his red hair and bright floral shirts looked like the most common type on California beaches An oily white drug dealer, but in fact, Rick is very sincere to people. This is not Tommy boasting, but has been recognized by many people in the industry.
With the success of BT's self-produced programs, many other TV station or production company's program producers will come to BT Entertainment as a guest like Little Turner, or invite Rick to visit their company, etc., to exchange ideas about each other's work Way to expand your social circle.
The way Rick treats those people is two words, sincere.
Absolutely will not flatter each other in hypocrisy, but tell you everything you know about the production of the program, and tell it frankly.
He will not hide his previous work experience in San Fernando, nor will he evade every time he designs a new program, he is used to mobilizing the audience's private desire and providing the audience with visual enjoyment. These two points have nothing to do with TV art. cut in.
It's just that few colleagues can learn any useful knowledge from Rick's sincere teaching, because each of them has the pursuit of TV art, and Rick Luthor, from the day he helped Tommy start work, felt that he The reality show produced is no different from the small movies shot in San Fernando before. The artistry, appreciation, depth, and layers are all shit. It is his only pursuit to let the audience get satisfaction after watching it.
But even if those colleagues can’t learn Rick’s exclusive secrets, they also understand that Rick’s attitude towards people is very sincere. The reason why they can’t learn it may be a matter of talent and personal artistic pursuit.
Now, Rick said to Tommy, Turner Jr. actually questioned the lack of sincerity in his most important teacher, Rick Luthor, who can help advertisers extract oil from a large number of low-level niggers?
Tommy immediately got up and walked towards the meeting room. The boss must understand one thing when dealing with outstanding employees, that is, if you need your subordinates to help you make money, then you need your subordinates to support you.
Moreover, it was the old guy who found his father-in-law's friend to come to discuss cooperation, and it wasn't Tommy's BT Entertainment who had no work to do. No matter what film and television tycoon, he couldn't be so confident when he came to ask for cooperation?
The ancestral red neck of the Democratic Party is prestige? Anxious Tommy, a phone call, let his father's **** Republican white trash fly over to chat with him about different views on environmental protection, racial equality, and nuclear deterrence.
Seeing Tommy re-entering, Little Turner was still angry, and before Tommy sat down, he asked: "Tommy, your subordinate is completely opposite to yours, he is a bit hypocritical."
"What my subordinates said is exactly the opposite of what you said, Mr. Turner, he said you deserve a beating." Tommy pulled out the seat directly to take the position next to Little Turner, turned his body to face the old guy, and turned half of his body With his arms pressed against the table, he stared at the other party and said.
Little Turner glanced at Rick Luthor in the distance, and looked at Tommy: "I look like a guy who flew thousands of miles from New York to Los Angeles just to find someone to beat him up?"
"You want to chat with my best producer. Rick Luthor is the top producer of BT. For this reason, he turned down other work arrangements and spared two hours to chat with you. Do you think this is hypocrisy? Everyone knows that you have a bad temper, Mr. Turner, of course I have, but if you think that because of your bad temper, everyone should respect and fear you, you are in the wrong place."
"Do you think I'm slandering him?" Sensing that Tommy seemed to be really angry, Turner was taken aback for a moment: "Do you think that I, who made a special trip to visit him, would be rude enough to slander the person I really want to ask? No matter how stupid Humans should also understand that they respect wise men who can help them, and this little slippery fellow is a hypocrite."
"The dean of Brown University who caught your female classmate in the dormitory should also be a wise man, but I heard that he didn't end well that day, because he interrupted your interest, and the wise dean got it in your mouth The humiliation is even dirtier than the jokes German women heard when they welcomed the U.S. military, and you also tried to wipe some water stains into the other party's mouth, so that the other party, a fifty-six-year-old man, could taste the taste of youth." Soup Mi Kaikou is a large section of young Turner's fierce experience in his youth:
"It can be seen from this that you don't quite understand the respect shown by wise men to normal people."
Herbert Siegel told him about Turner Jr.’s character long ago. If you are upset with him, even if you face him face to face, the old guy will apologize if he realizes that the fault lies with him. If the problem lies with the other party, he will directly complain , is a very cute and straightforward old man.
When a reporter interviewed Turner Jr. and asked him why he only retained the copyright of MGM’s film library instead of continuing to hold the entire MGM Pictures, Turner stared at the reporter for more than ten seconds: “I can only talk to you. The reason for marrying a wife is the same, poverty."
The end result is that countless boys at Brown University have slept with girls in the dormitory, but the only student who was directly expelled for sleeping in bed was Little Turner.
It wasn't until he became a billionaire and donated a large sum of money to the school after he died of the dean that the school awarded him a degree that was late for many years, and canceled his punishment by the way.
The old guy was so **** off by Tommy's words that he almost had a heart attack on the spot. His breath was choked in his chest, and it took him a long time to catch his breath.
But considering that his monthly subscription fee has been reduced from 20 cents to 10 cents, but still can’t stop the loss of subscribers, Turner feels that it is necessary to explain why he thinks that red-haired boy is hypocritical:
"I asked him about reality TV, and he recommended me to watch a few adult movies, saying that the answer would be found in that stuff, and I said that I have slept more in my life than the movies made by small movie stars. There are many women and rich experience in actual combat. I like to talk about this kind of topic involving beautiful women, but not now. I want to know about reality shows, an American reality show with depth and connotation that makes the audience willing to pay to subscribe. You Know what he said to me? He said he can't do anything and he doesn't know how to make a reality show like that, you can just tell me, because it's a **** trade secret or something so I can't comment, but you You can't tell me so perfunctorily, I won't, I can't do anything, Sorry, the door is over there."
"Uh... I can assure you, he didn't lie." Tommy said after hearing the angry old man Turner's complaints.
Tommy waved his hand at Rick, signaling him to go to work first, and explained to Turner Jr.: "Some misunderstanding, Rick is not the TV guy you dealt with before, he doesn't think about connotation, depth, etc. He makes programs The first headache is how to shrink the scale to avoid being stopped by the FCC. This is a misunderstanding. I am very sorry for mentioning your youth just now. I am willing to donate 100,000 yuan to the American bison you want to protect. Food, to make up for the damage you have suffered."
Little Turner started a follow-up topic on his own: "I received news that Fox is preparing a reality show about high society for their paid variety channel, and it is popular on BT TV network "Fake Girl" and Inspired by the hit CBS show "Big Brothers."
"Those women in your life are just floating clouds, and only Murdoch is your true love, Mr. Turner." Tommy said weakly with his hand on his forehead.
Ever since Little Turner cheated because Murdoch intentionally knocked over his boat in the yacht race in Australia, the old man seemed to be a little crazy, always looking for an opportunity to teach Murdoch a lesson and get back on the field. Before that, he was invited to the afternoon of the development conference Murdoch went to Las Vegas to fight a boxing match to decide the winner. After being ignored by Murdoch, he began to be indifferent in the production of programs. Murdoch's Fox produced any brilliant programs, and Turner Jr. always It is necessary to produce a program competition of the same theme.
After fighting for so long, everyone's evaluation is that Murdoch is indifferent and Turner is mentally ill.
Depending on the situation, this is still not giving up. I feel that my production team may be a little poor. This time I found BT Entertainment as foreign aid.
""Natural Nobility" satisfies people's curiosity about the upper class, follows the young heirs of five upper-class families, peeps at the changes in the fate of five wealthy families, and claims to be a realistic version of "Grandmas".
Users of cable premium channels are completely different from audiences of TV networks like BT. This kind of voyeuristic reality show that looks more advanced can indeed make people with a slightly higher level than free viewers willing to pay for subscriptions, and listen to it. According to Turner Jr., Fox has indeed paid for this paid reality show. The five families are all real, and their social status includes senators, billionaires, socialites, etc. This is not just a payment. Those who can be invited to appear on the scene.
If Tommy remembers correctly, he did watch a similar pay channel reality show in his last life, but he was not sure if it was produced by Fox, and he forgot which season it was, but he felt that the show was very well produced, and there must be deductive elements, but not There are many, true and false giants intrigue daily.
"People do like to peek into the lives of rich people and make them feel hazy and mysterious because they haven't experienced it themselves, which is really fascinating, but I was just thinking, maybe people will have another question, how do I become a rich man? Money man." Tommy sat beside Little Turner in silence for a while, and then said to the old man: "I have an idea, but I don't think Rick and the others can do all this, they are not good at this kind of thing, I can introduce For you to meet someone who can do it and is absolutely interested in doing it."
"The top elite in the film and television industry?" Little Turner asked with some doubts.
According to his understanding, at present, reality show is the most well-known subdivision of film and television, BT Entertainment. If it weren't for the headhunting company that failed to poach Rick Luthor, he wouldn't have to sit here with someone younger than his own son. A young man recalls his unbearable college years.
"Undoubtedly an elite in the industry, let's put it this way, 60% of Hollywood actresses have worked with him." Tommy looked at Little Turner and said seriously:
"Steve Bean, owner, producer, director, and writer of Paradise Productions."
