Chapter 180 TV Shows
ABC TV has had a high rating recently, especially since ABC reported that it was going to broadcast the rocket launch live. News from various TV stations is also being widely publicized, and many viewers have called to inquire about related matters. In this era, the name of Rocket is usually connected to nuclear bombs, and people know that the nuclear warhead is installed on the rocket.
However, during this period, rockets have been associated with space. Since the Soviet Union launched its first satellite, the term rocket has been constantly mentioned by people. Countries around the world have begun to pay attention to their heads and look up at the stars.
The United States, which has always regarded the Soviet Union as a potential enemy, is very unhappy with an artificial satellite above its head. What's even more terrifying is that it was a satellite launched by the Soviet Union. God knows what this satellite can do, but one day the satellite turns into a nuclear bomb or other weapon and falls from the sky, the United States will suffer.
Since the first satellite came to the sky, the Soviet Union was preparing to launch several satellites in a row, and even planned to send a dog to space. As soon as these news came out, it immediately attracted more attention, and the Americans were even more panicked.
Especially since the US Navy failed to launch rockets, more and more people have begun to worry about US security. Americans have always been deeply afraid of redistributive countries. The McCarthyism, which had been joking before, clearly shows how fearful Americans are. The failure of rocket launch has added this anxiety.
So the emergence of SCC has just given people a hope that they will pay great attention before the Rockets were launched. People from all walks of life have turned their attention to the Houston Rocket Base, and more people have begun to pay attention to the ABC TV program trailer, and they do not want to miss this historic event.
Many critics were very surprised by the confidence of SCC. They wrote articles: "Since the failure of the US Navy to launch a rocket, the image of the US has plummeted internationally. At that time, the Navy did not dare to launch a rocket live broadcast, and they just invited some government officials to watch the launch. Now a private company is going against the trend and broadcast the launch process to people to watch it! How brave is this!"
Newspapers around the world also reported on this, among which the Times said: "The Americans are going to launch rockets again? This time it will be live broadcast!"
AFP reported: "In such a short time, two rocket launches are arranged. Are the Americans not afraid of failing again? Oh! It turns out that this time it was a private enterprise's behavior, and it's such a courage!"
The Soviet Pravda also joked: "Americans prepared for the second time after the first launch failed, but I heard that this is not the second time. There are still several launches that have not been successful. Do they think that the more launches, the closer they are to success? Before this, the department that launched the rockets was always the US Navy. Now it is a rewarding and courageous way to do it!"
Compared with the sarcasm of foreign media, the local media in the United States are much better. The New York Times said: "Although I don't know if SCC can succeed, it represents the efforts and struggle of us Americans! I hope this launch will be successful, and God bless the United States!"
As for other American newspapers, such as the Los Angeles Times, the Chicago Tribune, the Washington Post, the Christian Science Monitor and other newspapers, they also reported on this in large quantities. In general, they were not very optimistic about the launch. However, they did not have any outrageous harsh words when they were in the same camp. At least they would encourage them.
In addition, American audiences also talked about this, and many viewers picked up their phones and called the TV station to inquire about the live broadcast.
The audience asked the most: "When did the live broadcast of the Rocket launch start to be played?"
Some viewers asked: "Is there any way to watch the rocket launch on site?"
For such issues, as long as the Rockets are news, the audience likes to know. The ratings of other programs on ABC TV were also affected and greatly improved. In a moment, the audience of ABC TV suddenly increased. Almost twice as many viewers than before, the number of viewers soon became the same as that of NBC, CBS and other TV stations.
Since Alex acquired ABC TV, he has made great adjustments to the TV station's programs and added many new program content. These changes have greatly improved the quality of ABC TV's program and the ratings have been improving. However, the news trailer for the live broadcast of this Rocket launch has a greater impact on the TV ratings.
Many viewers who have never heard of ABC TV have watched ABC TV programs because of this news. Suddenly, they found that the program of this TV station is also very good, and many temporary viewers have become regular viewers.
Here, no matter what kind of viewers, you can find your favorite shows, and there are some TV shows that look very novel on the air.
In addition to popular science programs, music programs, news programs, etc., Alex also adds some variety shows.
One of the variety shows is called "Professional Guess Guess", and the guests guessed their peculiar careers by interviewing contestants. Once this show was launched, it immediately attracted the attention of the audience. When ABC TV attracted much attention due to the Rockets boom, the ratings of this show were almost catching up with the golden channel programs of TV stations such as CBS, NBC and other TV stations.
On this day, the day before the Rockets were about to launch, ABC TV's "Professional Guess Guess" program invited a short man in a white coat and thick glasses.
"Now we have invited all the guests to guess the profession of this gentleman!" the host said to the microphone.
Among the guests are movie stars, rock singers, politicians and social celebrities. Among them, movie stars are the recently popular actress Hepburn, the rock singer is Elvis, the politician is Kennedy, and the social celebrities are Conrad Hilton.
Hepburn got the chance first, looked at the man in white coat and glasses, frowned and said, "This white coat is your work clothes? Uh, I guess you are a doctor or nurse in the hospital?"
The host immediately asked: "You guessed twice, don't foul this next time. Do you think he is a doctor or a nurse? You must choose one of them!"
"Bingo!" The host gave Hepburn a thumbs up and praised: "Hepburn guessed it! That's right, his profession is a Rocket expert!"
Countless colorful papers fell from the sky and fell on the heads of everyone, and at the same time, the entire scene hall shone with colorful light.
"Yeah, yeah!" Hepburn jumped up happily. Everyone else applauded and congratulated her on guessing the answer to the question.
After the atmosphere calmed down a little, the host asked the Rocket Expert to describe his daily work. Under the lecture of this Rocket Expert, everyone was very impressed, and even entertainment people like Hepburn and Elvis were very concerned about this.
Driven by his description, everyone was also interested and raised various strange questions. Some viewers called over and asked questions they wanted to know.
People have many problems, such as how fast the rocket is, how many objects can be carried, how far the last position of the satellite is from us, how large the area can the satellite broadcast signal cover, etc.
There are many people watching the show on this day. Among the audience, there is a special person. He is Walt Disney, the famous children's entertainment empire in the United States, which was founded by him.
The legendary Walt Disney started his business at the age of 18, but was full of confidence but failed repeatedly. Walt stumbled all the way, but never got up empty-handed. In 1923, 23-year-old Walt and his brother Roy established Disney Brothers Animation Production Company, the predecessor of Disney Company.
As the founder of Disney Company, the "Entertainment Kingdom", Walt's entrepreneurial journey has been extremely bumpy and tortuous. He always adheres to the excellent requirements of "achieve the best", keeps up with the market trend, and gets up from falling countless times.
At the beginning of the business, there were many crises. It was not until Mickey Mouse emerged and turned the tide before it fell. The storm-like company returned to life. Mickey Mouse was a gift from the goddess of art Muse to Disney. Walt said many times: "We must never forget one thing, everything starts with a mouse."
Walt has unique vision and unlimited creativity. In 1955, it invested in the construction of the first Disneyland. Since then, Disney's "mobile castle" has gone to the world. Disney's company, which has Walt as its soul, was once extremely brilliant and invincible.
After entering the 1950s, Walt had seen the decline of the film market and wanted to enter the television field. Dinis had already had a good cooperative relationship with ABC TV, and Walt even began to take over ABC TV.
Originally, he just wanted to wait for ABC TV's boss Edward Noble to put the TV station in his arms after his death. Unexpectedly, Alex appeared halfway through and acquired ABC TV, which regarded him as a Chinese dish of meat, was bought.
This made Walt deeply depressed. He thought Alex was just a little guy with a reputation and would definitely not be able to play with things like TV stations, and might end up going bankrupt in a few years. However, things did not develop in the direction he imagined. ABC TV station not only did not fall, but also became more and more prosperous.
A few months ago, after Alex was kidnapped, it was rumored that he could not find anyone. When Walt found out, he almost laughed out loud: "You have today too! Humph!"
But not long after, Alex ran out without relying on the help of others. Not only that, he turned around and started making rocket tricks. He also had to make a live broadcast.
ABC TV is about to grow into a big TV station like CBS, and Disney has never entered the TV field.
Seeing this scene made Walt Disney even more angry. This behavior of cutting off people's wealth is extremely bad. It is much more serious than killing parents.
Since Hollywood entered the 1950s, it has been losing audiences. A large number of entertainment methods have continued to emerge, resulting in the shrinking of the film market and lower box office. On the one hand, it is because film companies are used to shooting shoddy films, and on the other hand, the audience's tastes are becoming more and more picky, and they are unwilling to go to the cinema to watch when they see the movies are too bad.
As a result, because the film companies are not willing to invest more money in making good movies because the films they make are not good, and the audience is unwilling to watch poor-quality movies. This creates a vicious cycle, which makes Hollywood film companies less and less likely to get along.
After the decline of the movie, Disney Company was also greatly affected, and its performance fell day by day. If it weren't for this, Disney Company would have gritted its teeth and raised funds to buy ABC TV.
I didn't expect it, I didn't expect it! I was finally defeated by a boy who came out of nowhere!
In recent years, Disney has made a lot of money by relying on Disneyland, and Walt has a new idea of the TV station. He wants to have a TV station of his own! He once had a good opportunity, but unfortunately he didn't seize it. If he had another chance, he would definitely not give up so easily.
"Alex!" Walt sighed in front of the TV where light and shadows were constantly flashing: "What a pity! What a pity!"
