Vol 4 Chapter 575: Premier League Media Warfare

Fleet Street, or Fleet Street, is synonymous with British media.
As the leader of the modern media industry, the birthplace of the paparazzi, this one is only 500 meters long. It connects the political center Downing Street and the financial center London City. It has prospered for two hundred years. The crowded streets have only two hundred house numbers, but At its peak, more than 100 newspapers gathered.
Times, Guardian, Financial Times, Daily Express, Daily Mail, Mirror, Daily Telegraph ...
Almost all the newspapers that uttered their names once gathered here.
However, with the development of technology and the advancement of the times, more and more newspapers choose to leave Fleet Street.
The earliest left was the Times. Newspaper tycoon Murdoch introduced advanced Internet technology from the United States. Several of his newspapers left Fleet Street one after another. Subsequently, the Guardian, the Daily Mail and many other media also left.
In 2005, Reuters moved out, and the last newspaper left Fleet Street. The peak news street completely entered history. The Daily Telegraph headquarters, which once made countless media people rush, has now become Goldman Sachs. At the London headquarters in the United Kingdom, the original newspapers were transformed into courts and law firms.
Fleet Street is further east, Woping and Canary Wharf have become new gathering places for newspapers.
However, although Fleet Street in reality has become history, Fleet Street is still synonymous with British media.
...
In the UK, someone once described the audience of major newspapers in such a vivid way.
The readers of the Times are those who govern this country; the readers of the Mirror are those who believe that they are governing this country; the readers of the Guardian are those who believe that they should govern this country; the readers of the Daily Mail are those who govern the country The wife of the person; the reader of the Financial Times is the person who owns this country.
The readers of the Sun do n’t care who is governing and owning the country. They only require the third edition girl ’s chest to be big enough.
After two hundred years of historical development, newspapers that can survive the fierce competition on Fleet Street have their own fixed audience, which leads to the distinct style of each newspaper.
But the competition is still very fierce. Every newspaper is still training the first class of new reporters, and still tells them that the Fleet Street reporters must have the necessary weapons, four pence and a knife.
Penny is for making roadside calls, and a knife is for puncturing a competitor's tire.
But at the same time, they will also tell the new reporters the old stories of the restaurants and cafes on the Fleet River, not only how Dickens and Samuel Johnson wrote, but also how the major newspapers communicate with each other and exchange information.
Times have changed, but many things have not changed.
For example, the newspapers gathered in Woping and Canary Wharf are still rushing for news.
Or, the bigwigs of various newspapers will gather together from time to time and talk about something, except that the location will change from the crowded Cheshire Cheese Restaurant or Cafe on Fleet Street to Canary Wharf. An upscale five-star hotel nearby.

"When did the wind change? Even your Sun started blowing up Liverpool players?"
"Hah, yeah, did you change your taste recently?"
"Let me say that the Daily Mail has voted to win Yang Yang. I can understand it. After all, I heard that he has recently become very popular among female readers in the UK, surpassing Mourinho and becoming the most popular among women. Man, but how has the Sun changed, is he also popular with the third edition girls? "
There was a big laugh in the meeting room.
Whether it's outside or inside Fleet Street, the discriminatory chain is still a bit.
Even though the Sun newspaper has the largest sales volume, their status is not so high in Fleet Street, and they even occasionally become objects of ridicule to each other, just like today.
"The need for manufacturing sales." Stig Abel of the Sun said indifferently. "Besides, our report is not wrong. I think it is well written and neutral and objective."
Neutral and objective, these two words are spoken from the Sun ’s mouth, and they seem to have changed somewhat.
But everyone on the scene seemed to be used to it, and the smile passed.
...
The meeting was hosted by Evans of the Times and Henry Winter of the Daily Telegraph.
Both of them are old people on Fleet Street, and they are all Liverpool fans, so that some people say that if they want to enter the editorial department of the Times and The Daily Telegraph, they must first become Liverpool fans. Just fine.
It's as if the editorial department of the Independent newspaper only accepts Arsenal fans.
Although the Sun ’s position is not clear, it is clearly more biased towards Manchester United. At the time of the Ferdinand drug test, the Sun had been making a voice to defend Ferdinand.
As for the Daily Mail, their audience is more of Chelsea ’s fans, so that at that time, they will not hesitate to pick up Martin Samuel from the Times with an annual salary of 250,000 pounds, because the latter not only has a good column, It was also Lampard ’s best friend, and even a Chelsea fan.
Henry Winter is Gerald's best friend, the most unfamiliar is Martin Samuel, both of whom died in the column.
Of course, Martin Samuel is not yet qualified to attend their meeting today.
...
"Today everyone is invited, mainly to hope that we can reach a consensus as much as possible." Henry Winter said.
Everyone looked at each other, "What consensus?"
"Yeah, what can I say?"
Henry Winter signaled everyone not to worry, "I believe everyone will not deny the fact that today Yang Yang has become the veritable number one star in the Premier League and the most appealing star.
The Stig Abel of The Sun opened his mouth, as if to say something, but in the end it didn't say anything.
Although he is quite unfair to Manchester United's Cristiano Ronaldo, Henry Winter is also right.
Judging from the current situation, the Portuguese are indeed slightly inferior to the Chinese.
Other newspapers are even more dissatisfied, because this is an unrecognized fact.
Otherwise, several media outlets such as the Daily Mail, The Sun, and even the Independent newspaper have focused on Yang Yang.
The audience of each newspaper may be different, but the fanaticism of football is the same, and Yang Yang is the most influential and appealing star in the Premier League.
If nothing else, let ’s say that Yang Yang ’s girlfriend Su Ye is now a member of the Premier League ’s most popular wife group, and also often appears in major newspapers. In the previous fan selection, the attention has even exceeded the Chelsea left guard Ash Licol's wife Cheryl and Gerald's girlfriend Kuran only lost to Beckham's wife Victoria.
To a certain extent, the attention of the British media is equivalent to the attention of the media all over the world.
"What do you want to say?" Stieg Abel asked.
Henry Winter smiled, "We have never had a player win that award in the Premier League!"
Mr. World Football, born in 1991, has a history of 17 years. Twelve world footballers have been born, because Ronaldo received three times, Zidane and Ronaldinho twice.
But what is unacceptable is that it all comes from Serie A and La Liga.
And even the so-called more professional European Golden Globe, from 1991 to the present, the Premier League has only received one time, that is, Michael Owen in 2001, with his outstanding performance in Liverpool, won This award was lost to Luis Figo in the selection of Mr. World Football.
Although no one wants to admit it, he has to accept the fact that the European Golden Globe Awards are gradually declining.
"The twelve world football players are from La Liga and Serie A, but the French have got it, the German got it, Portugal and the Netherlands have also got it, only the Premier League and the English have not."
Everyone on the spot nodded their heads. There was a chance in 2001, but Michael Owen's card was obviously not as big as Figo.
"I received the news that a Milan has come forward, the Italian media has unified their direction, they want to take out Kaka, they will start to build momentum for Kaka."
Henry Wenger's words just fell, and everyone on the scene was unhappy.
"What do you mean? What does Kaka compare with Yang Yang?"
"Yes, he is not as good as Yang Yang in terms of achievements, championships and performance."
"However, there is no way to say that such a precedent is not without."
"I think that Yang Yang's biggest weakness is that he came from a weak football country."
"Yes, Mr. World Football has only sixteen sessions, seven of which have been given to Brazil. Players from non-football powerhouses have won the award only once, or they have played for George Via in Milan in 1995."
"At the time, a Milan could build Shevchenko's momentum and eventually succeed, and this year will certainly do the same."
"The operational capabilities of the giants are still very good. The most typical ones are Real Madrid and Barcelona. These two clubs are quite powerful in this respect."
"That was Real Madrid during Florentino, not Real Madrid now."
"But I think Henry is right. This year is indeed a very good opportunity. Yang Yang performed so well last season and performed so well. Now it is in a state of affairs. If we add another fire ..."
"If he wins the prize, we will also benefit, right?"
"Yeah, this award is like a halo. After getting it, Yang Yang is like an inexhaustible treasure trove. We don't need to worry about not speculating in the future."
"What does Liverpool say?"
Evans, who had not spoken for a while, nodded: "Rick Parry stated that Liverpool did their best to support Yang Yang."
This is not surprising, because as long as Yang Yang gets this honor, the commercial value of Liverpool will also be greatly improved. Even if you want to sell it in the future, you can sell it for a higher price.
"I think it can be considered."
"I also support that in the future we will continue to look the same internally, but externally we will have the same goal."
"In addition to the Italian media, pay attention to the Catalan media and step on Yang Yang to support Messi all day."
"A person who has even had five people let them blow for half a year, and they still blow."
"I really hope that Yang Yang will come to connect five people and die in disgust."
"This will be said later, and we will now reach a consensus."
"I don't think there is any problem."
"me too."
"I also support."
