Chapter 1435 Golden Hour

Every night at 8 o'clock is called the "golden time" of TV because this time period is the highest ratings of each channel, which makes the cost of this time period comparable to gold.

Generally, this period will be used to play carefully produced TV shows and TV series, and then sell extremely expensive advertisements. Of course, if possible, the TV station is very willing to sell the entire period of this period. For example, the presidential debate likes to choose this time. In addition, the governor and the bosses of large enterprises also like to buy this period to make speeches to promote themselves.

The cost of prime time is high. Anyone who can buy the speech during this period is all the top American celebrities, especially Columbus TV's prime time, which is called "presidential time".

After learning about the relevant news about the TV station’s prime time, Zhou Ming immediately made a decision: I want to use the prime time to make a declaration!

After making the decision, Zhou Ming immediately called Columbus TV President Essek and told him directly that he would use the prime time tonight to speak and ask him to help arrange it.

Essek was stunned when he heard Zhou Ming say this, and he never expected Zhou Ming to make this request.

"Mr. Zhou Ming, it seems that today is not April Fool's Day." Essek said, his implication was to tell Zhou Ming not to joke here.

Zhou Ming also told him very directly: "I'm not kidding you. I do have to use prime time. And it's just tonight. I know the rules of temporary arrangements. I will add 20% more fees. If there are other programs in advance, I will compensate according to the price."

After hearing that Zhou Ming had no intention of joking, Essek became serious. He told Zhou Ming that this was not a matter of money, but that such arrangements were not appropriate: "If Mr. Zhou Ming, you really need a prime time in the evening, you can submit an application to the TV station through the business department, and then we will issue the time arrangements here, and we will discuss with each other and make a final decision."

"I know this is a normal application, but I have a special situation now. You should know what happened in the Federal Republic of Yugoslavia." Zhou Ming reminded.

Essek said that it had nothing to do with him, and then hung up the phone.

Essek was having a meeting on the TV station at this time. After hanging up the phone, he smiled at all the executives in the station and said, "Look, there are such so-called guys who don't know where to find my contact information. He opens his mouth and takes a golden period. He doesn't think about it. Is the golden period that ordinary people can use? The golden period is the top priority for our TV stations to shape their brands, and it is definitely not something that any cat or dog can use!"

By using Zhou Ming's call, Essek reiterated the importance of building a brand to his executives, and said that only by making the prime time less likely to be obtained can his value be guaranteed. This approach will definitely receive the support of the board of directors and the big boss!

But as soon as Essek finished speaking, his phone rang again like a death-thrust. Essek answered the phone and then heard Gant's roar: "Who told you to refuse? Let me give me the golden hour of the evening to Mr. Zhou Ming immediately!"

The expression on Essek's face froze at that time, and the expressions of the senior executives around him became awkward.

What is this? I just talked about the importance of building a brand, and also said that the board of directors and bosses will definitely support me, but the meeting has not yet been announced to end.

The boss called this questioning phone number, which was a slap in the face.

Of course Essek could not agree so. He immediately stated his thoughts to Gantt, saying that the prime time at night was the best opportunity to establish a TV station brand. If he just gave a speech to a Chinese, it would have a great impact on the overall image and future operations of the TV station.

Gantt was very dissatisfied. He said that he was not discussing this matter with Essek, but notifying that if Essek could not execute this order, he could consider another person.

Essek was stunned. He never expected that Gantt would be so tough this time. He used to be a little tougher, and his proposal was conducive to the development of the company. Will the boss give in? Why is the script wrong this time?

This is obviously because Essek's situation is not enough. Although for ordinary people, as the president of Columbus TV, he is already at the peak of his career, the problem lies here. Since Essek is only the president of Columbus TV, all his ideas are based on Columbus TV's .asxs., and he cannot see the changes in other places.

Regardless of the incident in the Yugoslavia or the fact that Zhou Ming wants to give a speech during the prime time this time, it is all related to the situation of the Capital World War. It was finally difficult for Gantt and the others to reach an agreement with Morgan Rockefeller to push the Wallace family out to make Zhou Ming vent his anger. If something goes wrong with the TV station at this time, Zhou Ming will take the opportunity to shift the finger at Columbus TV station and even the Gantt family, wouldn’t that be a disaster?

You should know that the United States is the three major media groups, and the other two are definitely willing to hand over Zhou Ming.

Therefore, Gantt would not be able to offend Zhou Ming at this time no matter what, let alone give him a prime time and there is no trouble. Why are you doing this?

Gantt gave Essek the CEO face without scolding a bunch of gentlemanly languages ​​starting with F on the phone.

"Okay, now you can start to adjust the program schedule. Mr. Zhou Ming and I will go to the TV station in the afternoon. I don't want you to be not ready by then."

Leaving these words, Gantt then hung up the phone, making Essek messy in the wind on the phone.

It’s not just the embarrassment of being slapped in the face. After all, as the president, it’s not the first time he has been forced to do the task by the boss above. It’s just that he is asked to prepare now... He currently only has the name Zhou Ming, and he doesn’t even have a photo of him. What should he prepare? How to do an advertising trailer? He is one of the three major TV stations in the United States, so he can’t be too perfunctory.

This made Essek one head and two big, but when he looked up and saw the TV executive who was still sitting at the conference table, Essek suddenly felt energetic.

Ahem!

Essek cleared his throat: "Okay gentlemen, the boss has just assigned a very important task to the TV station. I need you to complete it together. It is a mysterious speech about the prime time of the evening."

Essek did not deliberately avoid everyone when he called just now, so these people were not surprised by Essek's words, and even wanted to try it out. After all, such an urgent task was personally followed by the boss above, and if done, it would mean a large bonus.

However, they waited for a long time, but Essek said only here. Essek told everyone:

"The person who will give a speech through prime time today is Zhou Ming, who is a Chinese, that's it."

that's all?

Listening to Essek's words, these Columbus TV executives were stunned. They were all old men who did the show, but when did they hear such a request? Boss, it's the prime time of the evening, can we be more rigorous? I won't say much else, at least we must understand the content bias of the speech and the speaker's identity information.

Seeing the confused expressions of the executives under his command, Essek felt much more relieved now. After all, he was not as depressed as a group of people.

Then Essek told them that he had just talked about these issues with the boss above, but the result was still the same, so everyone should do it as much as possible.

...

"Mr. Zhou Ming, I have arranged the matter of your speech in prime time for you to make a speech at night. You just need to come to the TV station to prepare at the right time in the afternoon... The fees are easy to say, you just need to give them at the normal price. After all, in this matter, my people don't know how to do things. If they hit you, I hope you don't mind."

Elgant personally called Zhou Ming, looking cautious and even took the initiative to reduce the cost, for fear that Zhou Ming would be really unhappy.

Zhou Ming knew how to advance and retreat, and did not make any progress. He just expressed his feelings that he knew. He also thanked Mr. Gant for his help and promised that he would go to the TV station to prepare at the TV station at 2 o'clock in the afternoon when he went to work.

After putting down the phone, Gant wiped the cold sweat from his forehead. He never expected that he could bear such great pressure even if he faced a young man.

'This guy must have done it on purpose. He deliberately put pressure on himself to put himself in a more favorable position. It's really sinister! Otherwise, I wouldn't have said anything to reduce the free use, so I could have a little more money this time.' Gant thought in his heart.

But Gantt didn't know that Zhou Ming on the other end of the phone was not trying to put some pressure on him, but he was cautious about this speech.

I just wanted to make a fortune in silence, but I didn’t expect that I would still come to the front of the stage in the end!

"Katelyn, you said if I messed up my speech today, would that guy Gantt want to kill me? After all, that's the prime time of the night." Zhou Ming said with a smile.

Caitlin was now tidying up the suits for Zhou Ming for TV in front of Zhou Ming. There was even a team of designers specially invited from Italy next to him, holding rulers and scissors in his hands and standing at any time. After Zhou Ming decided to give a speech on TV, Caitlin found Zhou Ming to customize the dress. If there were any problems now, they could modify them at any time.

Caitlin gave Zhou Ming annoyed and said, "Do you want to say that Columbus's golden period is more valuable than you at the evening? But in my opinion, what golden period is completely incomparable to you!"

After sorting it out, Caitlin took two steps back and looked up and down at Zhou Ming, and finally nodded to Zhou Ming and said it was OK.

The designers next to him who came from Italy only breathed a sigh of relief.

But they breathed a sigh of relief. Zhou Ming couldn't, because it was time for the stylist to appear next.

For Caitlin, this is the first time that Zhou Ming has to be fully prepared for his official TV...
