Houston Rockets come to Shanghai every year to play a game, and its core players are interviewed by Shanghai Oriental TV.
This condition makes Zhao Taichang''s heart beat. With Yao Ming joining the Houston Rockets, the Houston Rockets has become the most popular and popular NBA team in China. Besides, the current Houston Rockets also have Michael Jordan, the favorite "God of basketball" of all basketball fans. This team is not only popular in China, but also well known around the world with Jordan''s joining.
After thinking for a moment, director Zhao made a decision.
"OK, Mr. Lin, I''ll be the initiator of this'' CSPN ''Chinese TV sports broadcasting platform." Zhao Tai said in a long and round way.
After all, the establishment of this "CSPN" will be beneficial to all local satellite stations. They can unite their collective strength to fight against the monopoly of CCTV, and give everyone a chance to compete with it. No one is willing to be pressed by others.
Later, director Zhao immediately contacted the directors of 13 TV stations in Liaoning, Jiangsu, Shandong, Hubei, Xinjiang, Guangdong and other provinces, and gathered in Shanghai to discuss the cooperation secretly.
"Ladies and gentlemen, this is the contract for the establishment of the ''CSPN'' sports broadcasting platform. As long as you agree, you will be able to get the free broadcasting right of the Houston Rockets home games in the next three years." As one of the initiators, Lin Feng also attended the seminar.
The heads of all TV stations looked at each other with a slight frown. They are very excited about the establishment of this "CSPN" Chinese TV sports broadcasting platform, which makes every TV station see the dawn of breaking CCTV''s absolute monopoly in sports events. In particular, Lin Feng is willing to transfer the broadcasting right of Houston Rockets home games for free in the next three years, which makes them even more excited.
In the next three years, the Houston Rockets will have the right to broadcast the games, and the profits of advertising in each game will be enough to make these directors envious. However, Lin Feng asked him to broadcast the whole process of the "E-sports competition" planned by his "second world", which made it a bit difficult for each director.
It is true that the "E-sports competition" is now in full swing in other countries in the world, but no one knows how popular it will be in China, how much profit it will bring, and whether it will lead to relevant condemnation and protest in the society. This makes the directors who are always cautious dare not make decisions rashly.
Lin Feng gave a cold hum to the director''s mind. I''ve been an official for a long time, and I hope to do anything with zero risk and high return. How can there be such a good thing in the world. Think of this, Lin Feng Chong Zhao Tai Long hit a wink.
Director Zhao understood.
"Everyone, it''s true that we have to take some risks in the whole live broadcast of the e-sports competition, but don''t forget that there is no profit without risks. What''s more, Mr. Lin has been willing to transfer the right of live broadcasting of Houston Rockets'' home games for free in the next three years. You should know how much advertising revenue will be in the next three years. At least, it will bring hundreds of millions of advertising revenue to our "CSPN" every year. What''s more, if this "E-sports competition" is held successfully, The economic profit is immeasurable. Don''t forget, when NBA chose to broadcast on TV, no one expected that it would be like today''s gold medal fight. " Zhao Tai Long a temptation, and then with a little unwilling to say, "do you always want CCTV pressure in the body?"
The other 12 directors'' faces were stiff, with a slightly unwilling look on their faces.
"Everybody At this time, Lin Feng stood up and said, "in the first E-sports League, our company will invest a total of US $10 million to stimulate the participation of players from all countries. Moreover, the first E-sports League, "CSPN" will get the right to broadcast free of charge. As for the broadcast of next year''s competition, we can talk about it again
In the conference room, all the directors of the 13 stations exclaimed, which was a big deal. In recent days, various TV stations have learned about the scale of the world''s e-sports, such as WCG. Usually, there are only about US $40000 or US $500000 in prize money. Lin Feng''s US $10 million prize money is really a big one. Moreover, it is not necessary to sign the broadcasting rights for several years, which also makes many directors excited.
"Well, ladies and gentlemen, let''s not hesitate any more. Let''s take out your decision. Anyway, on behalf of Shanghai Oriental satellite TV, I will definitely push forward this plan. " Director Zhao took the lead in signing the contract.
After the heads of the other 12 TV stations looked at each other, they signed the contracts one after another.
"Happy cooperation!" People hold their glasses to celebrate the establishment of "CSPN" China TV sports broadcasting platform.
Subsequently, 13 directors and Lin Feng jointly held a press conference to announce the establishment of "CSPN" China TV sports broadcasting platform. This news is like a thunder on the ground in China, which shocked all Chinese people beyond words.
Since the beginning of the TV station, CCTV has been the domestic hegemony, monopolizing all resources. Especially in sports, CCTV 5 has always been worried about what sports events to broadcast, while other TV stations are worried about no programs to broadcast. The gap between the two is far away. Now 13 influential TV stations in China jointly launch this sports broadcasting platform, which is obviously intended to challenge CCTV''s absolute monopoly in sports.
For the first time, newspapers and magazines published their opinions one after another.
Guangming Daily said - this is definitely a good opportunity to promote the development of domestic sports TV. The emergence of CSPN is enough to diversify domestic sports TV and make it more mature in the interest structure. Competition makes progress. However, CCTV''s media power has been verified by various sports competitions, but can CSPN work?
Reference news also commented that the launch of CSPN is a good thing, but will it cause a waste of resources? Although the competition has made progress, the sports channel of CCTV has done extremely well and can offer the most wonderful sports events to all audiences. How can CSPN compete? Will there be vicious competition?
Although the reports of various media affirmed the positive response of CSPN''s launch, there was no accident that they favoured CCTV. After all, the imperial court station is the imperial court station, and in some aspects it has incomparable advantages over other TV stations. The comments from all walks of life in the media also made the 13 directors feel at a loss.
However, in a survey of Lin Feng''s google.com, more than 90% of netizens said they would go to watch the live broadcast of the CSPN game. As long as the program is good, they will choose a better TV station. The survey also gave 13 directors a sigh of relief.
And then Baidu conducted another survey - "in the new NBA season, if you play multiple NBA games at the same time, would you prefer to watch the Houston Rockets game or other teams'' games first"? 85% of the respondents chose to watch the Houston Rockets game first, and 10% chose to watch the Los Angeles Lakers and other strong teams'' games if the Games conflict, It doesn''t matter that less than 5% of people choose.
The vote gave 13 directors a long sigh of relief.
As for CCTV, the direct influencer of this incident, after learning that 13 domestic TV stations have set up the "CSPN" China TV sports broadcasting platform, an emergency meeting was held internally for the first time. After careful analysis and discussion, it was agreed that CSPN could not pose a real threat to it. Although the idea of CSPN is good, after all, it is a joint broadcasting platform jointly established by 13 TV stations, so there are 13 leaders. How do these 13 leaders divide power? This is a very realistic and practical issue, especially in China.
In the view of CCTV, "CSPN" will be divided sooner or later because of the leadership struggle and the live content of the game, which will lead to the final civil strife. Moreover, as the 13 broadcast platforms are scattered all over the country, how to gather excellent journalists and hosts is also a problem. In short, in the view of CCTV executives, there are many problems with CSPN.
However, what makes CCTV deeply taboo is that Lin Feng transfers the broadcasting right of Houston Rockets home games to CSPN for free in the next three years, which undoubtedly has a certain impact on CCTV.
After all, the Houston Rockets have Yao Ming, Jordan and a Chinese boss. The NBA team''s game is undoubtedly the favorite of all Chinese fans. Although CCTV has more high-quality resources, the audience''s "home team" complex can not be ignored. In particular, Baidu''s investigation is a heavy blow to CCTV.
Damn it, don''t you delay the broadcasting right of the "E-sports contest", and then you get a "CSPN", which is a jerk—— For Lin Feng, the high-level officials inside the imperial court were filled with bitterness. That''s disgusting, this man. It''s not that they don''t broadcast it, they''re just in a meeting to study it“ "E-sports competition" is a new thing, they must be cautious. As a result, without waiting for them to give Lin Feng a reply, Lin Feng has created a "CSPN". How can the high-level officials of the imperial court and Taiwan feel embarrassed!
In the annoyance of Lin Feng, the imperial court held a press conference.
The official spokesman of court Station - we welcome competition, so that we can offer better games to all audiences. We hope that CSPN sports broadcasting platform can also offer better sports events to all audiences. Here we want to announce one thing. We have reached a cooperative relationship with NBA officials in the next five years. We will broadcast high-quality NBA games at the first time and dedicate the most wonderful NBA games. As for other events, Serie A and Bundesliga, we will still live the whole process. There are also F1, tennis and other competitions. I believe all the audience can enjoy the best service and the most exciting sports events in CCTV sports station.
This is obviously aimed at "CSPN". After all, "CSPN" has only one NBA, and it can only live the Houston Rockets game. In terms of the content of the game, it''s too monotonous.
Although the directors of the 13 TV stations vowed that they would send the best reporters and invest the most money to launch live broadcasting of other sports events in the shortest time, the audience would not buy it. I''m used to watching CCTV, so it''s hard to watch "CSPN" on the turntable for a while.
For the 13 directors who are building a 4000 square meter "CSPN" live broadcasting base in Shanghai, this is undoubtedly a headache.
Lin Feng a smile, this early in Lin Feng expected. In South Korea, Lin Feng foreshadows.
"Don''t worry, folks. Now that we are in the initial stage of organizing such a sports joint broadcasting platform, and we can''t compete with the imperial court station in all aspects of resources for the time being, it''s better for us to give up the live broadcasting of other competitions and only broadcast some of the most attractive sports events. " Lin Feng said confidently.
In a daze, the directors of 13 TV stations looked at Lin Feng and didn''t quite understand what Lin Feng meant.
"Ladies and gentlemen, among dozens of types of sports events around the world, the most popular sports events in China are few. Now the first is undoubtedly football, the second is basketball, and then table tennis, tennis, F1, chess and so on. Among them, due to the limitation of game style, the ratings of chess and go are always low. Therefore, the most popular sports are ball games and motor racing. We can also give up racing for the time being because of its impact and live broadcast cost. It''s better to specialize in ball games. After all, ball games are more exciting and popular Lin Feng talks about it.
13 directors nodded.
"However, most of the ball games have been won the right to broadcast by the court, and CSPN has no room to intervene. Therefore, I suggest that we focus on football and basketball now, and make great efforts in these two aspects. After all, these two ball games are also the most popular Lin Feng said after taking a breath, "basketball, at present, can only win the home game broadcast right of Houston Rockets. In the future, we can see whether we can reach an agreement with other NBA local stations. As for football, the court monopolizes the four leagues in Serie A and Bundesliga. We can consider the Premier League and Spanish League
People frown slightly, we are used to watching Serie A and Bundesliga, will watch the Premier League and La Liga? Especially the La Liga match is too late, which is not suitable for Chinese fans. The Premier League is a good choice! But will fans watch the Premier League?
Lin Feng smiles. At this time, the Premier League has begun to highlight the charm of the world''s first league in the future, but unfortunately, most of the country are used to enjoying the slow pace of Serie A and Bundesliga, and have not really appreciated the charm of the Premier League. Serie A has been regarded as the concept of "Small World Cup", which is deeply rooted in the hearts of all domestic fans.
However, Lin Feng has a way to deal with this situation, and believes that as long as fans watch a few Premier League games, they will be attracted by the Premier League. As for Abramovich, Suleiman and others into the Premier League, its repeatedly set off a transfer record will attract global attention. What''s more, he will also be in the Premier League, closely combining sports and games. CSPN broadcast Premier League, no doubt to promote their future teams and companies also have great benefits.
"Ha ha, don''t worry about this, because I will invite one person to be the commentator of football." Lin Feng smiles and says in a loud voice, "we can invite Huang Jianxiang to be the football commentator of CSPN."
The directors of 13 TV stations were delighted（ To be continued, if you want to know the future, please log in www.qidian.com , more chapters, support authors, support legitimate reading!)
