  Chapter 61

  Dennis had a cigarette in his mouth, and looked at the arrogant Catherine opposite him: "Miss Catherine, haven't you ever lied?"

"Yes, my parents taught me from a young age, don't tell lies, no matter what mistakes you have to tell them as soon as possible, lies will only make that mistake more troublesome, I have tried it, and I think they are right, so I will never lie again. lie."

   "How did you do the experiment? Tell them that you didn't steal the ice cream, but you ate yourself into the emergency room?" Dennis slowly approached Catherine and asked.

Catherine stared at Dennis, smiling prettily: "No, when I was eleven years old, I lied to my parents that there was a boy who kissed me forcibly. After that day, the boy never dared to appear in my sight again. That boy was actually He didn't kiss me forcefully, he just ran to my side and said in my ear that I was dressed too badly, what a pity, actually I still have a crush on that boy, so do you want to get closer?"

Dennis quickly distanced himself from Catherine, and laughed at himself: "This is the reason why I seldom associate with girls in private high schools. People are always willing to believe the lies of rich and beautiful girls, so what can I do for you ,Miss?"

"I'm going to call my father, and then you can convince him to believe the comedy that poor Tommy said, and let him contact Nickelodeon for me." Catherine said, picked up the phone receiver, and dialed a series of numbers: "Dad , I had a lot of fun at the camp, of course, and I had a very interesting thing, yes, very interesting, so interesting that I... want Nick TV to interview everything that happened here, and I asked my subordinate Dennis Let me tell you."

  Catherine handed the receiver to Dennis: "You'd better convince my dad to agree to help contact Nickelodeon, otherwise you will see my lies like that boy back then."

"Mr. Nunn, you can call me Dennis, the chief of the St. Vincent's National Police Department, and a loyal subordinate of your daughter, the Minister of Defense. This country is like a primitive tribe. Sir, we high school students are worshiped by the black people in this country like God. You My daughter is now commanding the largest armed force in the country, I'm not joking, it's true, before we came, this country didn't even have a toilet." Dennis took the receiver and said:

"That's why Catherine, Minister of Defense, decided to ask Nickelodeon to help record her summer camp experience. After all, I think since the founding of the United States, there has been no news that a high school student can attend a summer camp and manage a country by the way. No, no, no, it's true. I am also the real national police chief, I am in charge of 17 police stations, and solve countless cases every day, this country is now free from genocide because of the existence of us American high school students."

Catherine looked at Dennis with disgust on her face. After Dennis talked on the phone for a few minutes, he hung up the phone and looked at Catherine: "Your father said that he can help contact the TV station, but the specific fee needs to be paid by the summer camp. Don't think about it." Because his daughter is at camp, let him pay the bill."

   "There are no toilets in this country?" Catherine's eyes widened, and she asked Dennis, "Genocide without us? What makes me even more embarrassed is that my father actually believed your words."

Dennis grinned: "Rich people all over the world want to hear news of other people's miserable lives. Only when others are miserable can they be happy, and then have a little bit of pity. In Warwick, every time the county councilor visits, Me and Tommy, Pam's family will say that if you want a toilet, you have to tell others that you don't know what a toilet is, so that they are interested in treating you like a monkey and giving you a toilet. Flushing the toilet, and then laughing at the way you are at a loss in front of the toilet, this is the survival wisdom accumulated by the poor in Warwick for many years, learn from it, sweet girl."

   "If you were really wise, you wouldn't have been poor for so long." After listening to Dennis' complacent explanation, Catherine sneered mercilessly: "So do you know what a toilet is?"

  Dennis said: "Of course I don't know. Ever since I was a child, every time I wanted a tuba, my father would take me to the gate of the city hall to solve it."

  …

   Nickelodeon is located in One Astor Place in Midtown Manhattan, New York. This is a 54-story office building surrounded by Broadway theaters. The art population density may be the highest in the world.

  People who work in this building once joked that accidentally spilling a cup of coffee out of the window can burn at least seven Broadway musical actors.

At this moment, in the conference room on the twelfth floor of this building, the roar of the channel director is being heard: "460,000 paying subscribers! Fucking 460,000 paying subscribers! This is how you helped Disney Channel in this blockade." A perfect answer sheet!"

  Several producers of Nickelodeon’s popular programs sat down in silence in their seats, allowing their superiors to vent their anger with swear words and ridicule.

  Disney Channel began test broadcasting half a year ago. It can be said that from the moment it was established, it wanted to compete with Nick Channel for the market.

Therefore, in order to suppress Disney's subscriptions, Nick Channel has been making various efforts in the past six months, but apparently Disney has prepared more adequately. The program duration of 16 hours a day is more in line with the tastes of teenagers and young people, making Disney short In half a year, it won 460,000 channel subscribers.

  The Nickelodeon Channel was established in 1979 and has only 1.8 million subscribers until now. It has just barely achieved profitability. According to this momentum, Disney will be able to swallow them alive and then pull them out completely in two years at most.

"The "American Heritage" program produced by Disney is a documentary-style variety show featuring teenagers who include treasure hunts, historical excavations, and scenic wonders. It is full of fun and historical depth. Not only countless families subscribe to that program Disney Channel has received unanimous praise from various newspapers and magazines. Elton, you seem to have more say in this program than I do, because it is this program that beat your contemporary "Are You Afraid of the Dark?" .” The director looked at his own variety show producer Elton with an ugly face:

"How did you come up with the idea of ​​launching a horror, suspense and puzzle-solving program for the majority of teenagers in the United States? Did you think their life under the control of their parents wasn't scary enough? What's even more **** weird is that I was actually caught by you Speak up and agree to a request that now seems absolutely stupid."

   "Sir, I think..." Elton wanted to explain.

The director directly interrupted his words, and said in a cold tone: "I don't want you to think, what I want to tell you is, or as soon as possible, come up with a film that is deep enough and attractive enough to truly match Disney Channel's "American Heritage" Singing the right show, or write me a resignation letter, so that I can save some money as headhunting funds, and recruit Disney producers to work for me."

After finishing speaking, the director turned and walked out of the conference room. Elton exhaled, cursed softly, and walked back to his own office. The assistant came over and said: "Boss, our previous client called and said there is a summer camp. Want to work with us to promote their students."

"Don't bother me, let me think about how to complete a resignation letter without swearing but with vicious words, Butch." Elton leaned on the seat irritably, with his hands behind his head and his legs crossed. Said on the table.

  The assistant brought over the phone records he had made before, and insisted: "I think Boss, you can read the information records I made before writing the resignation letter."

   The two updates are here, the number of words is a bit small, so let’s just read it. After I get better, I will try my best to bring back both the quality and quantity.
