Rebirth in America

? The TV station’s ratings have been very high recently, especially when it was announced that the rocket launch would be broadcast live. The news on various TV stations was also widely publicized, and many viewers called to inquire about related matters. In this era, the name rocket is usually connected with nuclear bombs, and people know that nuclear warheads are installed on rockets.

However, during this time, rockets became associated with space again. Since the Soviet Union launched its first satellite, the term rocket has been mentioned constantly. Countries around the world have begun to pay attention to the top of their heads and look up at the stars.

The United States, which had always regarded the Soviet Union as a potential enemy, was very unhappy about having an artificial satellite above its head. What was even more frightening was that it was a satellite launched by the Soviet Union. God knows what this satellite can do. Maybe one day the satellite will turn into a nuclear bomb or other weapon and fall from the sky, and the United States will suffer.

Since the first satellite went into space, the Soviet Union has prepared to launch several satellites in succession, and even plans to send a dog into space. Once the news came out, it immediately attracted more people's attention, and Americans were even more panicked.

Especially since the U.S. Navy failed to launch a rocket, more and more people have begun to worry about U.S. security. Americans have always been deeply afraid of redist countries. McCarthyism, which was still in full swing not long ago, clearly showed how scared Americans were, and the failed rocket launch incident only added to this anxiety.

Therefore, the emergence of the company just gave people a hope before the rocket was launched. Let them pay great attention to it. People from all walks of life have turned their attention to the Houston Rockets Base, and more people have begun to pay attention to TV program previews. They do not want to miss this historical event.

Many commentators were very surprised by the company's confidence. They wrote: "Since the failure of the U.S. Navy to launch a rocket, the image of the United States has plummeted internationally. At first, the Navy did not dare to broadcast the rocket launch live, and they only invited Some government officials invited reporters to watch the launch. Now a private company bucks the trend and broadcasts the launch process live for people to watch! How brave this is!"

Newspapers around the world also reported on this, including The Times, which said: "Are the Americans going to launch a rocket again? This time it will be broadcast live!"

Agence France-Presse reported: "Two rocket launches were arranged in such a short period of time. Aren't the Americans afraid of another failure? Oh! It turns out this time it was the behavior of a private enterprise. What a courage!"

The Soviet Union's "Pravda" also ridiculed: "After the first launch failed, the Americans prepared a second one, but I heard that this was not the second time, and there were several other launches that failed. Could it be that Do they think that the more launches there are, the closer they will be to success? Before this, the department that launched rockets has always been the US Navy. Now it is an American company to do it. It is really commendable and courageous!"

Compared with the cynicism of foreign media, the domestic media in the United States is much better. Among them, the New York Times said: "Although I don't know whether the company can succeed, it represents the hard work and struggle of us Americans! I hope this launch can be successful, and God bless the United States!"

As for other American newspapers, such as the "Los Angeles Times", "Chicago Tribune", "Washington Post", "Christian Science Monitor" and other newspapers, they also reported on this in large areas. Generally speaking, they have The launch was not very promising. However, seeing as they were in the same camp, there were no harsh words, at least some encouragement.

In addition, American viewers are also talking about it. Many viewers picked up the phone and called the TV station to inquire about the live broadcast.

The most frequently asked question from viewers is: “When will the live broadcast of the rocket launch start?”

Some viewers asked: "Is there any way to watch the rocket launch live?"

Questions like this, as long as it is related to the Rockets, the audience likes to know. The ratings of other TV programs have also been affected and have been greatly improved. Suddenly, the TV station's audience suddenly increased, almost doubling the number of viewers before, and soon the number of viewers was the same as that of CBS, CBS and other TV stations.

Since Alex acquired the TV station, he has made great adjustments to the TV station's programs and added many new program contents. These changes have greatly improved the quality of the TV station's programs, and the ratings have been increasing. However, the live news preview of the rocket launch will have a greater impact on the TV ratings.

Many viewers who had never heard of the TV station tuned in to watch the TV station's programs because of this news. Suddenly, they discovered that the programs of this TV station were also very good, and many casual viewers became regular viewers.

Here, no matter what kind of audience can find their favorite programs, and there are also some new-looking TV programs on the air.

In addition to popular science programs, music programs, news programs, etc., Alex also added some variety shows.

One of the variety shows is called "Guess the Career", where guests interview contestants and guess their unique careers. As soon as this program was launched, it immediately attracted the attention of the audience. When the TV station attracted much attention due to the Rockets craze, the ratings of this program were about to catch up with the prime channel programs of CBS and other TV stations.

On this day, the day before the rocket was about to launch. On the scene of the TV station's "Professional Guess" program, a short man wearing a white coat and thick glasses appeared.

"Now we ask all the guests to guess this gentleman's occupation!" the host said into the microphone.

Among the guests were movie stars, rock singers, politicians and celebrities. The movie star was Hepburn, the recently popular movie queen, the rock singer was Elvis, the politician was Congressman Kennedy, and the socialite was Kang Ladd Hilton.

Hepburn got the chance first and looked at the man in the white coat and glasses. He frowned and said, "Is this white coat your work uniform? Well, I guess you are a doctor or nurse in the hospital?"

The host immediately asked: "You guessed twice, don't break the rules next time. Do you think he is a doctor or a nurse? You must choose one!"

Hepburn stuck out her tongue and smiled sheepishly: "Doctor! I choose him to be a doctor! As for nurses, they should all be women!"

The host laughed loudly: "Wrong! He is not a doctor! But because you are a beauty, you can guess again!"

Hepburn was shocked: "Huh? Is he a nurse? Then I guess he is a nurse!"

"Haha! I have no comment on this question, so I have to ask the next guest to guess!"

The host turned to rocker Elvis and asked: "Elvis! What do you think his career was?"

Elvis held his sunglasses and gently bit the bracket of the sunglasses in his mouth. He thought for a moment and said, "Is he a chemist?"

"Oh? Why do you think he is a chemist?" the host asked.

"Because I know some chemists who dress like that!" Elvis replied.

The host shrugged. Nothing was said. He looked at Congressman Kennedy, who seemed eager to try, so he asked: "Mr. Congressman, what do you think his profession is?"

Kennedy looked at the man in the white coat. He thought about it. Asked: "Can I ask him a question?"

The host hasn't answered yet. Hepburn protested loudly: "Unfair, unfair! If I had known, I would have asked him a question!"

The host spread his hands and smiled at Kennedy: "Look. Some people object, so we must not violate the rules! But if no one guesses his occupation in the first round, I will give everyone a hint next."

Kennedy laughed and didn't take it seriously: "I guess he is a teacher!"

At this time, Conrad also expressed his guess: "I guess he is a scientist!"

"The scope of scientists is too broad. You have to choose one of the majors. For example, Elvis Presley just said that he is a chemist!" the host said.

"Then I guess he's a biologist!" Conrad replied.

The host looked at the guests with a smile, then stretched the microphone in front of the man in the white coat and asked, "Tell me, has any of the four guests guessed your occupation?"

"Uh, I didn't guess that!" the man in white coat and glasses replied.

"Oh! What a pity!" The host turned back to look at the guests, and then said: "No one could guess in the first round of guessing. Next is the time for answering questions. Let me give you a hint."

The host paused, and everyone in the room fell silent. The atmosphere was tense.

"He is..." the host said in a long tone: "He has a very popular job!"

"Beep!" a long cry!

Elvis Presley quickly clicked the answer button and said hurriedly: "Expert! He is a technical expert!"

"What expert?"

"Uh...chemistry expert? Oh no, it should be a medical expert!"

"Wrong!" the host said loudly: "Let's continue to answer questions. A lot of people are talking about his career-related things recently! This thing has a pointed head and a long body! It can also spit fire from the back of its butt! "

Everyone became more and more confused as they listened. When Elvis Presley guessed that this man was an expert just now, he must have been involved, but what expert studies something that has a pointy head, a long body, and can breathe fire from the back of the butt?

They thought and thought, and suddenly everyone thought of the same thing!

"beep!"

"Rocket!" Hepburn reacted the fastest. She answered first: "He is a rocket expert!"

"Bingo!" The host extended a thumbs up to Hepburn and praised: "Hepburn guessed it! Yes, his profession is a rocket expert!"

Countless colored papers fell from the sky and sprinkled on everyone's heads, while the entire live hall shone with colorful light.

"Yeah, yeah!" Hepburn jumped happily. Others also applauded and congratulated her for guessing the answer to the question.

After the atmosphere calmed down a bit, the host asked the rocket expert to describe his daily work. Everyone listened with great rapture to the rocket expert's narration. Even entertainers like Hepburn and Elvis were very concerned about this matter.

Driven by his description, everyone became interested and actively asked all kinds of weird questions. Viewers also called in to ask questions they wanted to know.

People have a lot of questions, such as how fast the rocket is. Able to carry multiple objects. How far is the last position of the satellite from us, how large an area can the signal broadcast by the satellite cover, etc.

Many people were watching this day's program, and among the viewers, there was a special person. He is Walt Disney, who founded the famous American children's entertainment empire Walt Disney Company.

The legendary Walt Disney started his own business at the age of 18. He was full of ambition but failed repeatedly. Walt stumbled all the way, but never got up empty-handed. In 1923, 23-year-old Walt and his brother Roy established the Disney Brothers Animation Production Company, the predecessor of the Disney Company.

As the founder of the "Entertainment Kingdom" Disney. Walt's entrepreneurial path was extremely bumpy and tortuous. He always adheres to the excellence requirements of "achieving perfection", keeps up with the market trends, and gets up from falls countless times.

At the beginning of starting a business, there were many crises. Until Mickey Mouse was born. Turn the tide before it falls. The company that had been in turmoil came back to life. Mickey Mouse was a gift from the Muse, the goddess of art, to Disney. Walt said many times: "We should never forget one thing, everything started with a mouse."

Walter has a unique eye. With unlimited creativity, in 1955, he invested in the construction of the first Disneyland. From then on, Disney's "Moving Castle" went to the world. The Disney Company, with Walt as its soul, was once brilliant and unrivaled.

After entering the 1950s, Walt had seen the decline of the film market, so he wanted to enter the television field. Disney already had a good cooperative relationship with the TV station, and Walt had even started planning to annex the TV station.

Originally, he just wanted to wait until the TV station owner Edward Noble died to take over the TV station. Unexpectedly, Alex came out halfway and bought the TV station that he regarded as his food.

This made Walter deeply depressed. He originally thought that Alex was just a little guy with an empty reputation. He would definitely not be able to play in something like a TV station, and he might go bankrupt in a few years. But things did not develop in the direction he imagined. Not only did the TV station not collapse, but it became more and more prosperous.

A few months ago, after Alex was kidnapped, it was rumored that no one could be found. When Walter found out, he almost laughed out loud with joy: "You have today too! Humph!"

But not long after, Alex ran out by himself without relying on the help of others. Not only that, he also started doing some rocket stuff as soon as he turned around, and even broadcast it live.

The TV station is about to grow into a big TV station like CBS. As for Disney, it has never been able to enter the TV field.

Seeing this situation made Walt Disney even more angry. This kind of destructive behavior was extremely bad, and it was much worse than killing his parents.

Since Hollywood entered the 1950s, it has been losing audiences. A large number of entertainment methods have continued to emerge, causing the movie market to shrink and the box office to become lower and lower. On the one hand, this is because film companies are accustomed to shooting shoddy films, and on the other hand, audiences are becoming more and more picky in their tastes and are reluctant to go into theaters to watch movies that are too bad.

As a result, because the movies they produced did not sell well, UU Kanshu www.uukanshu.net was unwilling to invest more money to make good movies, and the audience was unwilling to watch poor-quality movies. This creates a vicious cycle, making life increasingly difficult for Hollywood studios.

After the decline of the movie, Disney was also greatly affected, and the company's performance dropped day by day. If this were not the case, Disney would have raised the funds to buy the TV station.

I didn’t expect it, I didn’t expect it! In the end, a kid who appeared out of nowhere got the first chance!

In the past few years, the Disney Company has made a lot of money from Disneyland. Walt once again had the idea of ​​​​a TV station. He wanted to have a TV station of his own! There was a good opportunity once, but it was a pity that he didn't seize it. If there was another chance, he would definitely not give up so easily.

"Alex!" Walt sighed in front of the TV with flickering lights and shadows: "What a pity! What a pity!"

I don't know what he regretted, whether it was Alex or that he had lost the opportunity to acquire the TV station. Under the light of the TV, his face was dim and bright, looking a little weird and a little scary. (To be continued...)
