Early the next morning, very early in the morning, Ronald's own TV station sent two reporters over, and NBC sent an broadcast truck to do live reporting with Ronald's TV station for the first time.
After waiting for a long time, when it was almost lunch time, Ronald thought that the candidate and his wife would just go to the city hall to show off like ordinary politicians, when a minibus drove into the Lightning Light Factory.
In the worker community, the smiling candidate actually came down to say hello to them.
"The candidate for the leadership and his wife are conducting campaign activities outdoors. He greets everyone in every house and distributes his campaign video..." Rich Lake, the host of Ronald's Fat Girl, held a
The microphone began to introduce the situation at the scene.
Ronald, the driver Bud, and the bodyguard Daniel were on the roof of Ronald's aunt's house, using high-power binoculars to look at the houses in their factory workers' community in the distance.
"Shxt, he really shook hands with black people..."
Little Bud cursed in shock. The camera over there was still facing Richie Lake, but in the blink of an eye, the candidate had already shaken hands with a black child.
"What's your name, young man?"
"My name is Jamal Washington."
"Dxme, that's my sister's child, Dxme... I didn't expect that my nephew could shake hands with the future commander-in-chief of America..."
Little Bud was shocked again and kept yelling and cursing to vent his excitement. He even danced. If it hadn't been a long detour, he would have run over to take a photo with the candidate and his wife.
"We'll have to wait until he gets elected..." Ronald also looked at it with binoculars. He has experienced many elections. Candidates who really come to workers' communities and communicate face-to-face with people at close range are
Haven't seen any of them.
"How do you feel about becoming the commander-in-chief?" Little Jamal got excited and asked the wrong question directly.
"Hahaha..." This kind mistake certainly aroused everyone's laughter, especially his wife, who was wearing a red dress and the outdated bangs hairstyle of southern housewives. She was so happy that she couldn't close her mouth.
"I don't know, I haven't won yet, but I hope I have a chance to feel good..."
"Hey hey hey..." Little Bud's nephew could only giggle. Over the years, the black community has never seen a leader who is so friendly with them from the bottom of his heart. He is the kind of equal friendliness who really faces his friends.
The kind of friendliness, rather than the "friendliness" of just holding a black child in front of the camera for a show, and then immediately letting them run away when the camera moves away.
"Will you tell people to vote for me?" The candidate immediately used his charm and asked the "little supporters". Especially at this time, the camera was pointed at him and the microphone was stretched out in front of him.
"Hey hey hey", little Jamal still just giggled.
"Tell people you've seen me and I look good, okay?"
The candidate responded quickly and immediately ended the conversation with this silly kid who could only giggle with a sentence that made everyone feel good.
The candidates knocked on the door of every home, then walked into the door with a mosquito screen, and went in to chat with each family. Those people were also very relaxed, as if they were having a family affair, and told the candidates a lot about their expectations, hopes, and worries.
.
The most mentioned thing is the ongoing economic downturn this year. Many people are worried that their wages will not keep up with inflation. They are also worried that the unemployment problem that has occurred in some areas will one day spread to Staten Island.
.
…
"I hope you will send a message to this community, what kind of place do you want to live in, what kind of future do you want, just like in Back to the Future, and are you willing to live under the leadership of that kind of leader?"
In the evening, Ronald watched with interest the TV broadcast of the candidate's trip to Staten Island.
His TV station was branded with the NBC logo for the first time, and Rich Lake became the live news host for the first time after their TV station's syndicated program was broadcast nationwide.
"This guy is really charming. He compared old George to Biff, the villain in Back to the Future, which made everyone at the scene laugh."
The person who spoke was the manager of the television station, Ed Bastian. Today he followed the television program team throughout the reporting process on Staten Island. This small and broken island does not have the power to broadcast live satellite broadcasts. It was he who negotiated with NBC.
Through David Letterman's decision to leave NBC, we negotiated this cooperation with them.
After visiting several communities, the young candidate went to the town hall in the southern part of the island, where he delivered a keynote speech to supporters. After the entire program was edited and lasted two and a half minutes, their TV station’s first
It was a live broadcast of a nationally broadcast program, and the quality of the work was very good.
Afterward, CBS and ABC also called and expressed their desire to cooperate. In the future, they plan to use Ronald TV's broadcast signals for local news in remote places outside of Manhattan, New York. Their interviewing and camera capabilities are better than others.
The local small TV station is much stronger.
"Have you ever seen such a politician before? My aunt said that when Ronald Sr. was campaigning, he had never seen him meet and chat with ordinary people on such a large scale. Only very lucky people could write to him.
Got a reply postcard.”
Ronald was amazed. Is it really possible to drive a bus and cruise around the states like this? That requires superhuman energy and strong communication skills.
"No, I heard from people in their team that the candidate couple actually traveled by plane. After arriving at the airport, they changed to a car to go to the destination, and then changed to a bus outside the community. Otherwise, no matter how powerful the ironman is, he would not be able to withstand it.
Live a bus tour like this." Ed Bastian explains.
"That's pretty awesome...not simple, not simple..." Ronald nodded repeatedly.
NBC's broadcast of their TV station's interview segment has ended, followed by a longer version of their own TV station's special program, which will be broadcast exclusively in Staten Island, and small towns in eastern and northern New York state. The candidates will go to Salvador tomorrow.
Start bus tour to Latoga Springs, Schenectady and more.
"What do you think of your husband, Mr. Candidate's practice of communicating directly with the people?"
The camera moved to their team's minibus, with Rich Lake sitting on the seat, and opposite the candidate's wife facing the camera.
"It's not uncommon for people to talk to him and say things that they and others don't want to say, and there was a lot of that when he was running for governor in Arkansas...
I think, at least part of the reason is that he is not a seemingly perfect candidate. He has his own problems, so when he hears the people's problems, he will not deliberately ignore them or act condescendingly.
If you say something nice, he will really listen to what their problems are..."
When the candidate's wife talks about her husband, her eyes show more appreciation than love.
"The candidate of the Donkey Party is now under intense attack from the opposite team. He has issues with evading military service during the Vietnam War, he has had extramarital affairs with multiple women, and has been unfaithful to his wife. There is also the issue of his being the governor of Arkansas.
The multiple issues surrounding his wife’s law firm’s use of power for personal gain..."
Rich Lake finally summarized the problems encountered by current candidates, but this seems to be unable to stop his rapid rise in the polls.
From the third place at the beginning of the year to the withdrawal of Perot, who currently has the highest opinion polls, the election has become a traditional two-party game.
His performance was so good today that Ronald conveyed a request of his to the candidate through Donna's channel, and he was even more inclined to help him.
"What does NBC think about David now?"
Ronald turned around and asked about Richard. During this time, he and Ed Bastian were also helping David Letterman find a home.
The show that was supposed to take over Johnny Carson had a slight turnaround, but because the president who was friendly with Ronald retired due to an accident with his son, Jay Leno's agent was so strong that
Blatant interference in Tonight Show production and guest invitations comes up.
Originally, the candidate and former governor wanted to appear on NBC's talk show again and show off his saxophone skills. After all, he was the governor of a remote small state in the south-central part of the country. If his photo was used for polls, only less than
40% of the people recognize who he is. Not as high as Tom Cruise's recognition rate.
The pleasant experience of playing saxophone on a talk show last time made him want to do it again, but he was rejected by the new host of The Tonight Show, Jay Leno. So he asked Ronald to do it again, hoping that he could do it again.
But Ronald knows that his influence on the Tonight Show has been approaching zero with the slow retirement of Johnny Carson. There may be only one late night show with David Letterman that can help.
"However, now that NBC knows that we are helping David find a home, they still have the luxury of keeping David and not letting him go to other TV stations to compete in the ring, so now they are a little bit obedient to his request."
When Ronald heard this, he knew what was going on. As long as he conveyed it through Donna, saying that he had already agreed with David Letterman, he could just go to him directly. David Letterman, who must have been trying to increase his bargaining chip to change jobs at this time, would not be able to do anything at all.
I will not refuse this candidate the opportunity to appear on the show.
As for the matter itself, it is very sensitive at the moment, so it is better not to come forward, lest any clues be revealed.
"As the Donkey Party candidate's first thousand-mile campaign was launched in New York State, New Hampshire, and other places, his support rate increased rapidly. He has abandoned the support of the current leader and is moving towards the former Perot
Moving forward from the highs he has reached...he is known as the comeback kid (The eback Kid)"
In the next few days, the candidate traveled through several states in the Northeast, constantly going to various locations to directly communicate with the people. Such videos were broadcast on national television networks, and coupled with word-of-mouth spread from people who had communicated with him,
His support in northeastern New England grew rapidly and dramatically.
David Letterman also became very unusually serious. He chatted with him on the show in a normal manner, and even invited him to play "Heartbreak Hotel" with the live band. The candidate wearing sunglasses was very stylish, which made him look very cool.
The band is as happy as playing with a jazz master.
…
Old George's campaign momentum suffered a setback, and their campaign team began to think of ways to publish negative information about various Donkey Party candidates. It is estimated that they were under a lot of pressure...
Ronald is under a lot of pressure...
The box office performance of "Reincarnation Warriors" was very weak. The production cost of 23 million yuan only earned a domestic box office of over 30 million yuan after being released in theaters for five weeks.
Although as long as overseas distribution and video tape income are added, profitability is not a problem. However, this time point cannot be achieved this year. Overseas distribution and video tapes will slowly return the money bit by bit. This movie may become a day-to-day
Dream Pictures is the biggest failed project this year.
The two leading actors have been working hard on and off the screen since last year, pretending to have conflicts at press conferences and premieres. This kind of exposure has resulted in a huge increase in the number of moviegoers during the first weekend.
However, the problem is that not all of them are fans of science fiction and action movies. Some of them are fans of Jean-Claude Van Damme and others of Lundgren. As a result, in a movie, there are no scenes where the two of them face off.
If there are many, the reputation will fall sharply.
This kind of science fiction movie combined with action fighting and firearms is still very attractive in overseas markets, but at home, the audience's taste has been spoiled by Cameron's Terminator 2.
The plot was well prepared, but when it reached the final climax, the Terminator-like battle that the audience expected did not happen. The disappointment spread seriously among the audience.
Movies produced and directed by Ronald himself can maintain quality and audience expectations through carefully polished scripts and the participation of big stars.
But those films led by Daydream, medium-sized investments, and films created with the idea of exploitation films are now experiencing a serious crisis.
Michelle Cannold and David Simkins were both sitting seriously at Ronald's house for a meeting. As soon as the boss returned to Los Angeles, he saw the unsatisfactory box office numbers and looked serious during the meeting.
The root of the daydream is this kind of fast-production medium-sized production. If there is a large-scale box office slump, then either the number of productions or the production budget will be reduced, otherwise there will be a cash flow crisis.
Ronald made it very clear to them that Daydream is not a production company that is dedicated to art like Orion, nor is it a production company that is heavy on gambling and relies on big productions and big projects like Carloco.
In essence, the pipe dream is a Roger Corman-style lawsuit involving small productions that rely on faster turnaround and more money. If medium-sized productions cannot return their money as expected, the company returns to a Roger Corman-style lawsuit.
The production method will have conceivable results.
This is not a good thing for the senior management of the company. They have to find a way to find a medium-sized production path that can ensure that they do not lose money.
"Don't be so gloomy. At worst, we can participate in more big productions with big studios and make more small productions on our own..." Ronald saw that morale was a bit low and wanted to encourage everyone.
He will not give less money, but if they really want the power to decide big productions, Ronald is not willing to give full power to his subordinates. This kind of thing that allows executives to take the boss's money and enjoy the power themselves,
It's really not a good way to do business.
"Take a rest, I've found someone..." Ronald arranged for a barbecue chef to come to the house to cook, and also hired some entertainment teams to add some fun to the high-level meeting. Anyway, it was a great experience for their partners and children.
It’s a good way to reduce stress. Maybe once you relax, you’ll be able to figure it out?
"Children, here is the latest Street Fighter II. You can choose the villain in the next four levels. Here are coins. You all come... don't grab it, don't grab it..."
Capcom's new version of Street Fighter has been delivered to Ronald's home. The older children and younger employees of the company love it very much, and they are rushing to get the latest arcade machine that can choose the villain in the last four levels.
The old version of the arcade where only eight players could be selected is no longer popular.
"Boss, I have an idea."
David Simkins came over. Such a popular game gave him new inspiration. Now, whether in Japan or America, the most popular arcade machine is Street Fighter.
As soon as the battle mechanism was introduced, it became popular in various bars. Many people wanted to defeat their companions and win the favor of beautiful women. Arcade became another game after billiards to show off their abilities. Sometimes, the game
The fighting in the machine will also be upgraded to a real-life fight between people playing the game.
"A movie like this is not cheap..." Ronald calculated silently. Among other things, the salaries of the twelve fighting masters were not low, plus some unique tricks such as adu root and oyster sauce root.
special effects, this is definitely a much more terrifying investment than "Reinventing Soldiers".
"But, boss, this game company has made so much money, why doesn't it have the idea of investing in a movie? We can take the initiative to convince them, they will pay for it, and we will produce it, so that we can avoid risks."
"That's not my money," Ronald thought to himself. I also have shares in Capcom. But indeed, if the movie adaptation can go through, there will indeed be another way for film production to make a profit without losing money.
