Hollywood Starts with Animation

June 22.

Zucker left Los Angeles on a private transfer to London, England.

On the plane, Zhu Ke said, "Ms. Donna, what do you think is the chance that UPN will win the rights to broadcast the UEFA Champions League?"

Hearing this, Donna Langley, the president of the television group under Zhu Ke's name, did not answer immediately, but fell into deep thought.

To be honest, she was surprised!

Last night, Zhu Ke suddenly called her and said that he would participate in the competition for the broadcasting rights of the UEFA Champions League in the 2003 season. She was surprised when she received the call.

why?

Throughout the Premier League and Champions League matches, the TV stations that have always been able to obtain broadcast rights, except for the British Broadcasting Corporation (BBC), which is Sky TV.

The strength of these two TV stations is undoubtedly very strong.

In addition to French TV 4 and German Satellite TV 1, they are collectively known as the "Four Major Pay TV Stations in Europe".

Among them, the British Broadcasting Corporation is the most powerful!

It is not only one of the four major paid TV stations in Europe, but also the largest public TV station in Europe. In terms of scale, volume, history, revenue, etc., even the British independent TV station, which has always maintained a close cooperative relationship with Zucker The TV station (ITV) is also slightly inferior.

"Ms. Donna, what do you think is the chance that our UPN TV network will win the rights to broadcast the UEFA Champions League?"

Zhu Ke asked again.

Donna Lang Lei smiled bitterly, shook her head and said, "Boss, the chance you mentioned is only theoretically possible."

no way~

Who made the BBC and Sky TV so powerful? !

Hearing that, instead of worrying, Zhu Ke said joyfully: "That is to say, from a legal point of view, it is legal for us to participate in the competition for broadcasting rights."

"Well?"

Ms. Donna was taken aback for a moment, and then she reacted and said, "Boss, you are right. However, I still want to say that there is a theoretical possibility for us to win the broadcast rights of the Champions League."

At this moment, Zhu Ke smiled and didn't say much.

Theoretical possibility?

Without any certainty, is Zhu Ke leaving the United States in a hurry and letting go of the opportunity to make a lot of money from the WorldCom incident? !

 …

Move forward a few hours in time...

Yesterday, in the evening.

The golden finger system that Zhu Ke had traveled through and had been silent for a long time reappeared.

[Congratulations to the host for getting a piece of future news. 】

The content is as follows:

On November 24, 2002, Sky Sports, a subsidiary of Sky TV, united with British Independent Television (ITV), defeated strong competitors such as the BBC and Channel 4, and obtained the rights to broadcast the UEFA Champions League in the UK.

The agreement states:

ITV, which will broadcast both games on Tuesday;

Sky Sports, which will broadcast both matches on Wednesday;

Since the establishment of the Premier League in 1992, the broadcast rights of the Premier League have been taken over by Sky Sports.

The Premier League's first Sky TV deal, worth £191m over five seasons;

The second contract, a total of 4 seasons, the broadcast fee rose to 670 million pounds;

The third contract is 1.1 billion pounds!

Time from August 2001, a total of three seasons.

"Sky TV is really rich!"

"However, if it were me, I would definitely be willing to pay this amount of money. The price of the Premier League broadcast agreement is higher and higher every time, but it does make money! As far as I know, Sky Sports earned at least 3 billion US dollars. .”

Zhu Ke muttered to himself.

Is the broadcast fee of 1.1 billion pounds a lot?

hehe!

As a time traveler, Zhu Ke knows much more than others, not to mention the 1.1 billion US dollars broadcast for the three seasons that took effect in August 2001, and the fee for the re-signed pen transfer agreement in 2018 is also 3 This season, but the price tag is as high as 5.3 billion euros,

Converted into British pounds, it is also as high as 4 billion.

Will Sky Sports, as the signer and buyer, lose money?

of course not!

In the 2018-2019 season alone, Sky Sports earned tens of billions of pounds, with a net profit of more than 3.7 billion pounds.

In a word, it made a lot of money, and it made a lot of money.

"Oh~"

Zhu Ke sighed suddenly: "It's a pity~ In 2001, I also wanted to participate in the competition for the broadcasting rights of the Premier League. However, the UPN TV network under my name is very strong in the United States, but in the UK and European markets. , but the role of a younger brother!"

It's just no better than others, this is reality.

Zhu Keming knew that he could make a lot of money here, but he was not strong enough to compete with Sky Sports and the British Broadcasting Corporation (BBC).

However......

"I failed to compete for the broadcasting rights of the Premier League...but it is very possible to compete for the broadcasting rights of the Champions League!"

In terms of strength in the UK and Europe, the UPN TV network under Zhu Ke's name is indeed no match for Sky Sports and the BBC, but now that a year has passed, the UPN TV network has achieved significant overseas strength. The growth rate is almost a day-to-day change.

Zhu Ke is determined to do his best!

"This time...the system is very powerful."

Zhu Ke has always hoped that his own TV group can grow into a global media giant. Whether it is the WB TV network as a public TV station or the UPN TV network as a pay TV station, Zhu Ke has high hopes for it.

After several years of unremitting efforts, plus open-ended plagiarism, the most important thing is to spend a lot of dollars, which adds up to more than 400 million US dollars, second only to the cost of expanding overseas distribution channels of movies.

Up to now, the WB TV network has established a firm foothold in the UK and Europe, and has maintained a considerable degree of cooperation with the British Independent Television (ITV).

Of course, the current level of profitability overseas is somewhat poor.

It is necessary to pay tuition fees, but judging from the current situation, by around 2003, WB TV Network's overseas operations will be self-sufficient and no longer need financial support from the head office. If it develops smoothly, it will definitely make a lot of money.

What about the UPN television network?

Hey~~

It's hard to say!

The UPN TV network has never been able to gain a firm foothold in the European and British markets, and its brand influence is slightly lacking!

No, or far from it.

"However, as long as we can win the broadcast rights of the Champions League this time, let alone how much money we make, the increase in brand influence alone is enough to make all our hard work pay off!"

The content of the information provided by the system this time not only includes the content of the agreement reached a few months later, but also includes some secret news.

Why did Sky Sports abandon the British Broadcasting Corporation (BBC) and switch to ITV?

What's in it?

"I know now, and this is where I am sure!"

Zhu Ke couldn't help clenching his fists fiercely.

Making money can always keep Zhu Ke full of energy and fighting spirit, but successfully creating a world-wide media giant makes people feel full of accomplishment!
