Must know that the Firefly system had FFM, although from some HBO also disparities, but this charge wired stage actually surpasses Showtime to be many now” 时间还早,没有立刻点餐,只是要了一些餐前甜点,马修・布兰克便主动道:“艾瑞克,我可以先了解一下你打算让Showtime电视台朝哪方面发展吗？要知道,萤火虫体系已经拥有FFM了,虽然距离HBO还有些差距,但这家收费有线台现在却是超过Showtime很多的” Eric had not replied that instead lost the issue: „I will not let Showtime and FFM have the direct competition, according to this mentality, you can say that what idea you do have?” 艾瑞克却没有回答,反而将问题丢了回来:“我是不会让Showtime与FFM产生直接竞争的,按照这种思路,你可以说说你有什么想法？” Matthew Blancke clearly also early is prepared, hears saying: „This, I thought that can imitate HBO and its attached stage Cinemax mentality, Showtime TV Station walks large size one after another. However, Eric, in this case, actually also somewhat wastes the foundation that Showtime builds in recent years. After all, Cinemax that type of soft color clear route, makes many payment audiences repugnant, if they want these contents, perhaps is willing to subscribe the playboy channel.” 马修・布兰克显然也早有准备,闻言道:“这样的话,我觉得,可以模仿HBO和它的附属台Cinemax的思路,Showtime电视台走一种更加大尺度陆续。不过,艾瑞克,这样的话,其实也是有些浪费Showtime最近几年打下的基础的。毕竟,Cinemax那种软色晴的路线,还是让很多付费观众反感的,如果他们想要这些内容,或许更愿意去订阅花花公子频道。” The Eric approval nods, said: „Therefore, you were only half right that Showtime TV Station truly meets the walking the watch large scale the route, but is not that criterion that you consider, but is one type all-around moves the criteria of various sensitive issues. And is only the color is not only clear.” 艾瑞克认可地点点头,道:“所以,你只说对了一半,Showtime电视台确实会走更大尺度的路线,但并不是你考虑的那种尺度,而是一种全方位的触碰各种敏感话题的尺度。并不仅仅只是色晴。” Matthew Blancke as if understood anything, somewhat worries saying: „Eric, such does will very likely arouse the disapproval, I mean, some topics, we make TV Station can do not move, not bump to well, for example, the racial discrimination, this absolutely is a mine field.” 马修・布兰克似乎明白了什么,又有些担忧道:“艾瑞克,这么做很可能会引起非议的,我的意思是,有些话题,我们做电视台的能不要触碰,还是不碰为好,比如,种族歧视,这绝对是一个雷区。” „I know certainly, in fact, I hope to obtain, is one type maintains the political correct premise pursues a bigger criterion. Moreover, the localization of this criterion and FFM has the significant difference, simply speaking, what FFM pursue is the depth, is Emmy, but Showtime pursue is actually the criterion, color clear beside, homosexuality, neurosis, violence wait/etc., but these elements also will not have the bottom line present to the audience. This point only 1-2 words are very difficult to explain, must be able to display through the manufacture television program, these days I will find the time to choose some projects personally.” “我当然知道,实际上,我希望得到的,是一种保持政治正确的前提下去追求更大的尺度。而且,这种尺度与FFM的定位有着明显差异,简单来说,FFM追求的是深度,是艾美奖,但Showtime追求的却是尺度,色晴之外,还有同性恋、精神病、暴力等等,但这些元素却又不会毫无底线地向观众呈现。这一点单凭一两句话很难解释,还是要通过制作电视节目才能表现出来,这段时间我会抽时间亲自挑选一些项目。”
