Back To 1995

  Chapter 558 On the Self-cultivation of Actors

   Ken Williams, dressed in casual clothes, came out of the backstage in a big way, appeared on the Ellen show, and made a face-to-face ceremony with Ellen DeNigers.

Now the Ellen Show is already the trump card program of ICNC TV, and the ratings are soaring. Party bigwigs, including Tom DeLay and others, have appeared on the Ellen Show. Last month, the governor of Texas, He is also the new generation head of the cowboy family, and the little cowboy also appeared on the Ellen show.

   That episode was full of effects, which made the audience re-acquainted with this figure from the most powerful family in America. Not only ordinary audiences were watching, but the entire main altar of America was also paying attention.

   On the Ellen show, the little cowboy declared in a "casual" tone that he wanted to do a greater "contribution" to America, not just stay in Texas!

   This is regarded as a sign that the little cowboy is officially participating in the next general election. After participating in the Ellen show in that issue, the public opinion machines of the entire elephant party and the cowboy family were activated, and began to build momentum for the little cowboy in advance.

   The Elephant Party has always been a bit weak in the media industry, and it relied on Fox for support before, but Murdoch, the old man, may not be reliable at critical moments.

The emergence of   ICNC TV station, and there is a tendency to develop into a big TV station, so many people from the elephant party choose to speak on ICNC TV station.

Not only congressmen and powerful figures, but also the tech giants in Silicon Valley, they also sell the face of ICNC TV, and many of them have appeared on Ellen Show and other programs. Naturally, the funding has also continued to increase, and more celebrities and celebrities can be invited to participate.

Ken Williams's participation in the Ellen Show is almost a "stop". Xue Leshan and ICNC, one is a game company and the other is a TV station. It sounds like the feng shui is not as good as the horse, but both belong to ICQ, basically brother departments, not to mention , After ICNC started, the US dollars earned by Xue Leshan have subsidized ICNC TV station a lot.

After Ken Williams sat down, he leaned back on the sofa, just like sitting on his own sofa, with his hands on the armrests of the sofa, a proper boss style, compared to those congressmen, stars, and celebrities who appeared on the Ellen Show. And so on, the style is even bigger, he is here today to make the most of his style!

"Williams, some people may not know you now, but you are the pioneer of American games, the founder of adventure games, the Snow Mountain game you are in charge of, and now the largest game company in America, the publisher of "Diablo" God" set a new game record.

   What do you think of the game? "

Ken Williams listened to Allen's question, "I think games are the fairy tales of the new century, which can make people do things that they can't do in reality, and experience things that can only be experienced in fairy tales. Everything, warriors and dragons, magic and war, and more!"

All of them are their own people. Today, Allen will naturally not ask sensitive questions. He will say it nicely. The people who put on the show are short, carefully concocted all kinds of crying scenes, and then broke out all kinds of black material. To describe it in one sentence, that is Oprah's old rhythm master, with a rhythm.

"I think there are many viewers in front of the TV today, probably all Xue Leshan players. What they most want to know is, when will "Diablo 2" be released, and when will "StarCraft" be released?" Allen Pointing to the direction off the screen, he asked Ken Williams.

Ken Williams made a distressed look, "I want to give a definite answer, but it requires our engineers to give an answer, I promise, I am more anxious than you, I don't want to be kicked by the board of directors. butt!"

   Allen looked down at the teleprompter card in her hand. She didn't pay much attention to the game industry. The recording of the program this time was completely at the request of the ICNC management.

Listening to the voice from the director of the headset, the ratings of today's show are not bad, especially for young people under the age of 20. Many are watching this show today. Compared with Hollywood, the game industry is getting more attention now. It's still a little small, and it's not easy to have characters from the game industry appear on the talk show, and many players are naturally paying attention.

   "This year, the most important thing in the game industry is the TGA Awards Ceremony. Can Williams give us some inside information in advance to meet players' expectations?!"

Ken Williams showed a painful expression, "I can only say that in the game industry, there have been too many talented masters who have made too many memorable games, and the first TGA Game Hall of Fame, can't It's a pity for the entire game industry to have them all included..."

   The atmosphere of the show is not bad, Ken Williams is also a veteran, and this time on his own TV station, his performance is naturally prudent.

Seeing that the fire was almost over, Ellen DeNigelles glanced at Ken Williams, and finally asked the most important question of the day, "Williams, what will Xileshan become in the future? I heard rumors that Xue Leshan will join the parent company ICQ on the Nasdaq, and Xue Leshan will soon give birth to countless billionaires.

   There will definitely be countless people who want to enter the game industry, what would you like to say to them, Ken Williams? ! "

  Ken Williams knew that this was the most important scene of the day, which made her face dignified. She had also rehearsed this action for a long time.

"Every industry has its own rules. To become the top person in the industry requires talent, sweat and a bit of luck. There is a proverb in the East, the times create heroes, and the same is true in the game industry. There may be geniuses in the gaming industry, but it takes context!"

  Ken Williams is euphemistically telling those who want to break into the game industry and get rich, there are indeed opportunities in this industry, but it also requires genius and sweat, or it is just to give money.

"I hope that Xue Leshan can become the best game manufacturer in the world and become the company of countless people throughout their lives. It is Xue Leshan's game that accompanies them in their lives, joys and sorrows, luck and misfortune. Xue Leshan exists. but…"

When the conversation changed, Ken Williams showed dissatisfaction on his face, "I don't think it's the best time to list Xueleshan now, and it can't reflect the value of Xueleshan at all. Xueleshan contributes 70% of ICQ's entire revenue. It is the best game company in the world, but now, Xueleshan can't even show its name on NASDAQ, which is unfair to everyone in Xueleshan!"

   "Good acting, I think Oscar owes you a golden statue!"

   Song Yang looked at the TV station with a straight face, with anger and dissatisfaction, and the person who was angry at ICQ raised his glass to Ken Williams, who was sitting beside him.

  Ken Williams reluctantly raised his glass and had a cup with Song Yang. The internal discord at ICQ and the news of infighting began to spread after he participated in the Ellen Show.

   The last remarks on the Ellen Show were almost a public challenge to the ICQ management, just to say that ICQ was raised by Xue Leshan, without Xue Leshan, ICQ would be nothing!

  Irene also cooperated with the show and declared in public, "There is a problem within ICQ, and some people have completely forgotten their identities!"

  The news of Ken Williams and Doherty Irene's feud has now been published in major financial and economic media in America, and it is a noisy uproar.

The consequence of this is that ICQ, which was a big hit in the past, will inevitably experience ups and downs in its listing. After all, Xue Leshan is ICQ's most profitable game department. If there is internal strife, even if it goes public, it will make those investors not. Don't worry, I don't know if ICQ will suddenly explode.

  Song Yang put down the drink and was about to leave Ken Williams' office. Today is Jenny's day back from Los Angeles, and Song Yang has to pick him up.

Not only Jenny, but also the people from the Zhou family in Yangcheng will also arrive in America in these two days. The people from the Zhou family are going to study in America. In any case, Song Yang has to meet and make arrangements. OK

   "Williams, these days, you still need to do more interviews in front of the media!"

  Song Yang said to Ken Williams with a smile, the play is done, and only when Ken Williams is making a fuss can Song Yang "justifiably" separate Xue Leshan from ICQ.

  Ken Williams nodded reluctantly, anyway, the blame has been taken, so what's the fear of acting in a play, his reputation on Wall Street is already rotten.

The spirit of contract is actually not recognized by Wall Street, but there are some things that can be done or not. Ken Williams sang the double reed this time, which is also equivalent to jumping backwards, and doing it back is like a Disney infighting. If one day a department manager suddenly rebels and ousts Disney Emperor Eisner, it is estimated that the first reaction on Wall Street is to be afraid of this department manager.

Now what Ken Williams is doing is basically the same. This time, if Xue Leshan is split from ICQ, then anyway, in the future, it is estimated that no big company will dare to take Ken Williams, for fear that someday He does another shit.

However, as long as he doesn't leave Xueleshan, after this incident, no one can challenge Ken Williams' right to speak in Xueleshan. If you give up, you will get it. If you are a villain, your reputation will be bad. , but no one dared to provoke it.

   "What's going on at ICQ?"

   General Electric's headquarters in Boston, Welch, who was in trouble, called Immelt to the office after receiving a call from the board.
