Blooming America

Catherine handed over the commissions of the two CEOs of Intel and Apple to Sanders, the president of the "future" AMD.

　　 Every time I think that the president of AMD is now the president of Intel, Catherine finds it very interesting.

　　 Sometimes, Catherine is a bit nasty and funny.

　　 After Sanders took office, he began drastic reforms.

　　 First of all, the price of personal computers has been drastically reduced by $300 in all directions, and at the same time a "zero profit" advertisement is launched.

　　 This news caused a huge sensation as soon as it hit the market.

　　 IBM held an emergency meeting, and Hewlett-Packard seems to be preparing to contact the other party.

At this time, Sanders did not stop, but announced that the second generation of Microsoft computers will open the hardware platform, and at the same time, part of the software source code will be opened to facilitate other companies to develop software and games on the DOS platform. .

　　 And Intel and Apple will be happy to inform interested hardware manufacturers about the development of the next-generation application platform in advance.

　　 At the same time, Sanders also hopes that Blizzard Entertainment can step up the development of computer games. In terms of game entertainment, it can be said that it is a very important reason for people to buy computers.

　　 As for the company structure, he greatly simplified the company structure due to his childhood hardships and respect for lower-level people. There are not many intermediate links between the top level and ordinary employees.

　　 In history, Sanders is a very loyal person. For Fairchild, he can say that he will never leave, but in the end he was squeezed out, and finally left in anger and founded AMD.

　　 Catherine knows Sanders, after all, she used to be a software developer, and she knows a little bit about this.

　　 It is absolutely impossible for Catherine herself to behave like Fairchild.

　　 Reassuredly handing over the electronics industry to Sanders, Catherine focused her attention on the television and film industries.

　　AB TV station will adopt the pair of classic angel wings as its logo.

　　 Catherine's positioning of this TV station is film and entertainment.

　　 Of course, a TV station cannot have only one program.

　　Of course, it is impossible for Catherine to be responsible for developing all the programs.

　　 She is going to make a show-American Idol.

　　 Most of the things Catherine makes are based on precedents, otherwise Catherine would not do it.

　　For example, GameTV. In the age of Catherine, foreigners who were really painful were able to start empty-handed, making their own integrated circuits, writing their own programs, and then making a Tetris game console with an integrated output display. Unlike Catherine, they use LED lights, while Catherine uses a TV screen.

　　 American Idol is Catherine’s flagship product.

　　 The original American Idol was adapted from "Pop Idol" by Fox and launched in 2002. The goal is to find the queen of American pop music. Participants first participate in the primary selection in the designated city, and the contestants selected by the judges and guests (all the big names in the pop music industry at the time) can go to Hollywood to participate in the next round of competition.

　　 The domestic "Super Girl" can be said to be a remake of "American Idol" and "Pop Idol".

　　 Catherine expanded the range of popular songs to basically cover the more mainstream music industry shows. She wanted to make a big show.

　　 After the Civil Rights Act of 1964 and the Electoral Rights Act of 1965 came out, Catherine believed that her program would be smooth sailing.

　　 Things need to be prepared step by step, and Catherine also needs heavyweights to join.

　　 She set her sights on Elvis Presley.

　　Unexpectedly, when she sent the letter to Elvis, her agent asked for a million-dollar initial fee.

　　 Elvis' agent, named Parker, or nicknamed "Major Parker".

　　 "Major" Parker, although the outside world generally regards him as a gold medal agent. But in Catherine's eyes, this guy is an out-and-out vampire, out-and-out cold-blooded monster.

　　 Before Elvis died on May 21, 1977, Elvis was already extremely weak, but Parker was furious.

　　 He even roared: "Listen to me, the only important thing is that he is going to perform tonight!"

　　 It can be said that the death of Elvis was directed by the other party alone.

　　 And even more brutal, after the death of Elvis, Elvis's loyal fans began to make pilgrimages to Memphis from all over the world. Parker booked a ticket, not to Tennessee, but to New York, where he met with American Radio, because the company sold more tapes and records for Elvis than all actors in history. He accurately predicted that every store in the country would sell Elvis's song recordings within 24 hours. Parker put pressure on the American radio company to increase prices and place orders with some major record suppression companies to push them aside minor orders to keep the river of Elvis Records flowing. Then Parker met with a merchant to lower the prices of some Elvis tie-ins. It was only on August 18, the day Elvis’ funeral was held, that he rushed to Memphis.

Elvis’s attending doctor Nick prescribed about 12,000 pills to Elvis in just over 20 months, which was also requested by Parker. It is also one of the causes of Elvis’ death, and it is the most important.

　　Moreover, Parker coldly wanted to **** the copyright of Elvis’ song from Elvis’ 11-year-old daughter.

　　 Elvis' talent was ruined by him, and his health was ruined by him.

　　Since 1961, although Elvis has always been in fashion, his condition has gone from bad to worse, and he has tried to get rid of each other many times, but he has no chance. UU reading www.uukanshu.cóm

In a concert tour in 1977, Elvis earned a total of 2.3 million U.S. dollars, but in the end he was so poor that he had no money to check his health. Instead, he relied on the doctor arranged by Parker, and all the funds were exploited by Parker. Up...

　　 At this time, Catherine's eyes lit up.

　　 Maybe... I can dig Elvis here?

　　 At this time, many singers actually have an attitude towards Parker.

　　 "Despise Parker, but respect him like a savior, because the singer doesn't manage his life at all."

　　 Catherine sent a letter directly to Elvis, which simply bypassed Parker.

　　 She believes that if she does this by herself, the success rate is or higher, even if it is millions of dollars, it is worth it to bring Elvis over...

Although 　　 has done so much, the limelight of "Radiation" on the other side has been overshadowed.

　　 "Cleopatra" with an investment of US$40 million was born. The huge amount of money has attracted most people's attention.

　　 In June of this year, "Cleopatra" will be released. The other party's doing so is obviously hype!

　　 But Catherine laughed and said nothing about it.

　　High, the higher the cost, the more you will lose!

　　 "Cleopatra" is the biggest investment in Hollywood movie history, but also the most miserable period costume production.

　　 Catherine's film, but fully absorbed the fault of "Cleopatra", it is absolutely impossible to repeat the same mistakes.

　　 The preparations for the TV station will not be until next year, and it is impossible for Catherine to complete everything by herself. She decentralized the power and rushed back to the studio.

　　Eastwood is waiting for her there...
