Chapter 370: Who's Afraid of Whom?
When Yang Huan was in his villa, enjoying the unprecedented moving taste, far away in London, Steven Howard, a gold medal columnist for The Sun, pushed open the door of his house.
He had just returned from dinner with an executive from the British Alliance, and was now tired and tired.
Sitting on the sand, looking up at the ceiling, it didn't take long for his eyes to close.
I don't know how long it took for his phone to ring.
"Hey" Steven Howard was a little helpless.
The caller ID was Rebekah Wade, the editor-in-chief of The Sun, his immediate boss.
"Steven, how's it going? Did you hear anything? The editor-in-chief on the other side of the phone asked.
Steven Howard has that belly in his heart.
You don't care if I'm tired or not, and you don't care what time it is, just care about tomorrow's news, is there still a bit of humanity?
However, he had to keep it in his heart.
The Sun is like that, it's stressful, but it's also influential, and the staff pay well, especially for a gold medal columnist like Steven Howard, whose income and influence are unmatched by columnists in other newspapers.
"I inquired, but there was nothing too valuable, and I heard that the negotiations had reached a stalemate."
"Why?" Rebekah O Wade was a little surprised.
Steven Howard leaned over to his ear with his phone in one hand and a furrowed brow in the other.
"It's mostly Southampton."
This team is a hot potato, but it's a hot potato that everyone wants to compete for.
"Sky wants to give Southampton's top four the same treatment and broadcast more of the Saints' games, even cutting back on the likes of Arsenal, Liverpool, Chelsea, Manchester United and Manchester City."
"But the idea is to increase the number of live broadcasts in Southampton and restructure the seven packages without cutting back on the number of broadcasts by the UK's biggest teams."
If you are not familiar with the inside story, even if you are a veteran fan, after listening to Steven Howard's words, you will hear it in a fog, and you don't understand how much of it is boring.
Rebekah o Wade understood.
Once the number of live broadcasts increases, the number of live broadcasts in each of the seven broadcast packages will also increase.
In other words, broadcasters will have to pay more to bid for these packages.
Sky is undoubtedly the UK's most relied on broadcaster, and the TV organisation is almost the most important source of revenue for UK rights, but in the UK, Sky is also highly dependent on UK rights.
In recent years, more and more television organizations have begun to consciously challenge Sky TV's leading position in British pay television, and the most powerful weapon is the British broadcast rights.
This year, I heard that British Telecom intends to intervene, which will inevitably cause a wrestle between the three major television organizations of EPN British Telecom and Sky TV, and the highest price will be won in the end
If in this case, the number of live matches of the English league is increased, the cost of broadcasting will be higher for TV agencies.
In other words, the British broadcast rights are likely to create another sky-high price
"In the assessment of the English League and Sky TV, Southampton is not lost to Manchester United, Chelsea and Arsenal in the United Kingdom, especially this team's move to greatly improve the face of English football in the Europa League this season has won the favor of countless local fans."
"High-quality resources, the three TV stations are all fighting, and the British Alliance is also striving to maximize interests, so now the negotiations are a bit deadlocked, but ......"
Steven Howard was so stunned, and Rebekah Wade was immediately a little anxious.
"But what?"
"However, judging from the current situation, regardless of whether the number of shows is increased or not, the price of a single broadcast must exceed 6.5 million pounds."
Six and a half million pounds?
Rebekah O Wade calculated, even if the number of live broadcasts was not increased, the broadcast rights in those three years would exceed 3 billion pounds.
That's twice as much as the previous broadcast rights contract
And it can be seen that the British Alliance is now holding the initiative and does not increase the number of shows, yes, the single-game broadcast fee must be increased.
If you don't want to mention too much about the broadcast fee for a single game, it's okay, so increase the number of broadcasts
"Southampton is really in trouble"
When Manchester City was on the rise, it didn't bring such trouble.
But Southampton is clearly different from Manchester City, and the Saints have more market appeal and influence.
Thinking of this, Rebekah O Wade also understands that there will definitely be no way to make headlines with this news tomorrow.
Thankfully, he was prepared for everything.
"Steven, you're on a turtle now."
"Yu?" Steven Howard was a little surprised.
It's so late, I'm tired, I'm going to sleep, is it okay to be a turtle?
"Your old friend, Charlene Lahri's self-media talk show [off-site] has been distributed."
"Really?" He's been busy today.
"I watched that show, and the response was very good, especially some of Yang Huan's words in it, which not only justified the name of countless new fans, but also challenged some old fans' understanding of football, which is very interesting."
Steven Howard's face suddenly turned into a bitter melon.
He could have heard the subtext of the editor-in-chief.
"Are you going to make a headline tomorrow?"
Rebekah o Wade smiled helplessly, "No way, there is no big news today, it can only be like this"
Sure enough, after laughing, Rebekah O Wade said again: "You go and take a look, hurry up in the evening, and publish a review draft"
Without waiting for Steven Howard to say anything more, Rebekah Wade said, that's it, and hung up the phone.
"That's it?" Steven Howard almost cried.
What time is it?
It's midnight, and you still want me to rush the manuscript?
Are you human? Is it human?
But the task of the editor-in-chief has been pressed, and he can't do it if he doesn't do it.
I can only take the laptop with a stomach full of resentment, and after opening it, I can directly board the 6 excellent turtles.
Charlene Lahry's off-site recommendation is on the page of Youtu turtle, click in.
"Wow, rave reviews"
Looking at the comments below the video of Youtu turtle, most of them are praise, and they are all praises.
Occasionally, it was mixed with some criticism, but it was quickly swallowed up by the saliva of praise.
How long has it been?
The click-through rate is already as high as 1 million
Steven Howard was dumbfounded.
It turns out that being a self-media in these years is so popular?
"I'm not a fan of Yang Huan, and even in the past, I always felt that he didn't understand football."
"At the very least, he didn't have a deep understanding of professional football."
'There's no denying he's a very, very talented guy, he's done a lot of things and he's achieved a lot, he's been very high, but in football management I've always felt like he's not been successful.
"In the past, I've heard a lot of his remarks, some of which are sensationalist remarks like asking for free tickets, but in my eyes, it's more of a kind of rhetoric that is not shocking and endless, and it is impossible to achieve."
"However, after watching this interview show between him and Charlene Lahri, I completely overturned all my previous impressions of Yang Huan, and now, he may not really have an in-depth understanding of professional football."
"However, his sharp and forward-looking vision has led us to clarify the current context of football and let us know the future of professional football."
"It reminds me of one thing, he's only twenty-two years old, a young man through and through"
"In the interview, he seems to represent the young fan base in their twenties, and they call out."
"Football is a sport, this sport belongs to the fans, both old fans and new fans, but in the final analysis, its future belongs to new fans, including those pseudo-fans who are always looked down upon by old fans."
"He's also protesting that it's not just about coming to watch the game, it's just sitting in front of the TV and in front of the radio to watch and listen to the game."
"As long as you like football, as long as you have a favorite and follow the stars and teams, even if you never go to the stadium to watch the game, never watch the game broadcast, you are a qualified fan"
"His words make me feel that he is subverting our past impression of fans."
"He's also changing the way we think about the sport."
"After watching this talk show, I felt a lot, but my originally tired spirit became very excited."
"I was thinking, maybe, it's not that he doesn't understand the ball, it's not that he doesn't do his job."
"Rather, he thinks too far ahead and goes too far"
"But in any case, from now on, I will start to pay attention to Southampton and Yang Huan"
When Yang Huan sat in the office of the Stauptwood training base, crossed Erlang's legs, and looked at this morning's Sun News, the mood that was originally so good because of the joyful enjoyment last night suddenly became better.
With a smile on his face, he saw the reporter's signature under the newspaper commentary.
"Steven O. Howard"
Yang Huan remembers that this reporter, Charlene Lahri's friend, has been included in the ranks of Charlene Lahri's self-media guests.
Charlene Lahri's self-media has been recorded for five episodes so far, and the first episode was released yesterday, and the results were very enthusiastic.
As of this morning, the hits have exceeded 3 million, and it is expected to reach 5 million in 24 hours.
This is not easy for a self-media program.
Yang Huan took out his mobile phone, opened WeChat, found Charlene Lahri, and quickly clicked on the screen with his fingers to go to a message.
"Miss Lahri, the show is on fire, when will the conditions you promised be fulfilled?"
When I think of the fragrant conditions, my heart warms
Soon, the other party replied with a cute expression with a blushing face, followed by a sentence.
"Can you stay up all night now?"
Yang Huan pursed his lips, smiled, and replied, "It's okay for a few days and nights, let's say, when?" ”
"Anytime"
Wow, it's quite a big breath.
Yang Huan's mind reappeared with Charlene Lahri's provocative appearance, and he was a little excited in his heart.
"Then why don't you leave it right now?"
"Now?"
Soon, another one came.
"I'm at work"
Yang Huan immediately passed over with a triumphant expression, "Then you still said at any time?" ”
She quickly replied with a look of anger and wanted to give him a knife.
"Now is now"
"Your house or mine?" Yang Huan immediately asked with a smile.
The other party was obviously a little hesitant, and only replied after about ten seconds, "My family, if you have the ability, you can come."
"Who is afraid of whom, the turtle is afraid of the hammer"
After speaking, Yang Huan turned off his mobile phone, and then looked at Long Wu, who was playing mobile games, and he was a little worried in his heart.
"Old Five, give me the car keys, you stay here, I'll go out and come back"
The matter of stealing jade and stealing incense must be known to fewer people as much as possible.
"Young Master, where are you going?" Long Wu immediately turned off his phone and stood up.
Didn't you say that you have to wait for Bielsa to finish the morning training session and talk about the transfer?
Why are you leaving all of a sudden?
This kid looks loyal, no matter what is in front of him, he will follow him to the death.
Yang Huan smiled bitterly.
Sometimes being too faithful is not necessarily a good thing
"It's okay, just go out for a walk, you're waiting for me here."
"Oh," Long Wu could only agree.
I wondered in my heart, wherever the young master usually went, he followed him, why did he have to act alone now?
Don't
Yang Huan took the car key in Long Wu's ambiguous and playful eyes, turned around and left.
It's a depression in my heart.
I'm such a serious person, how can I always be misunderstood?
Could it be that I have the word pervert written on my face?
It seems that the main reason is that I am too honest and do not know how to pretend
But he didn't see that something was wrong on the training ground downstairs
