Chapter 348: 348

In fact, the high string just gave Nixon face. How busy can the other party step down in the humiliating way of "Watergate incident"? It is nothing more than writing an autobiography according to the political tradition; Give full play to the waste heat of political elders; And preparing to build a museum for himself as a legacy of the former president of the United States.

Especially because of the negative impact of the Watergate incident, although Nixon's comeback had a good start with the help of Gao Xian, all walks of life in the United States still kept a distance from him for fear of being dragged down, which gave Nixon less room to play than other former American presidents.

Therefore, seeing that Gao Xian sent himself the activity arrangement, Nixon readily agreed without thinking.

Gao Xian then proposed: "I think you can set up an office in Xiangjiang to facilitate your future work trip in Asia, such as visiting China next year. Although the upcoming Chinese tour is not Xiangjiang, you know, China US relations have become a hot spot in the United States. At present, there are an endless stream of American elites from all walks of life who go to China to learn about this strange country 。

Under such circumstances, it would be very convenient for Nixon to have an office dedicated to his work in Xiangjiang, the bridgehead leading to China. Moreover, Nixon had visited Xiangjiang many times before, and there was nothing inappropriate in the environment.

However, Nixon was very excited, but he still hesitated. He was worried that he could not afford the relevant expenses of the office because he was short of money.

In terms of the main income, the $200000 monthly living expenses given to Nixon by the US Congress stopped in February this year. Due to the negative impact of the Watergate incident, Nixon found it difficult to find a decent job suitable for his status as a former US president in the US, that is, a high-string business speech activity of $500000 and a television interview festival of $600000 But the latter progress is slow because of some factors.

In terms of large expenses, due to the negative impact of the Watergate incident, the US Congress asked the US Department of justice to withhold some White House documents that should belong to Nixon. According to practice, Nixon, who wanted to establish a museum to commemorate the historical heritage of serving as the US president, needed these documents as collectibles, so the two sides inevitably fought a lawsuit destined to resist Japan for a long time But it costs money.

"If you can set up an Asian Affairs Office in the Chinese bank building, you will certainly improve the popularity of the Chinese bank building. In return, you will certainly provide excellent benefits in terms of office expenses as much as possible," said the high string of observing words and colors, before Nick revealed his obvious embarrassment

After Nixon tasted the meaning that "preferential" in Gaoxian's words was equivalent to "free", he nodded, "it would be great to set up an Asian Affairs Office in Xiangjiang."

After chatting with Nixon, Gao Xian turned to another thorny thing, Nixon's TV interview program.

Gao Xian is so enthusiastic about this matter, not only because of Nixon's value, but also because the project is "fresh" and "nutritious".

When Gao Xian came to this era, his achievements today can not simply rely on the golden finger of asymmetric information, but also his continuous learning and self-improvement.

Nixon's TV interview program is a valuable learning opportunity for Gao Xian, that is, to closely observe the mystery of Western media operation and public opinion guidance.

This operation requires some elements, including authorization, producers, funds, broadcast media and so on.

About authorization, Nixon promised happily; the producer looked for David Frost, a famous British media man who is good at interviewing senior Zhengzhi figures; the capital is simpler. Gao Xian's main business is to play with money in a dazzling way. After contacting him privately, he scraped up funds including $600000 for Nixon.

It's a little difficult to broadcast media, because American media platforms such as ABC, NBC and CBS disdain it.

The apparent reason is that Nixon TV talk shows belong to check news, that is, spending a lot of money to buy information about crime or celebrity privacy as news material.

It has to be said that at this stage, the major American media at least have a little face on the surface. They care more about the integrity of the media people and think that the check news is immoral, resulting in the lack of objectivity and impartiality of the news. That is, the small media play this little trick that can't be on the table in order to pursue sensational effect.

In the "old script", in the next few decades, such as the sexual harassment case of Michael Jackson and Clinton's improper relationship with Jennifer Frith during her participation in the 1992 US presidential election, the media have long broken their integrity in order to attract attention.

But for practical reasons, everyone tacitly understood that broadcasting the Nixon interview program is easy to violate the correct wind vane of the current American governance.

Fortunately, in addition to the three major broadcasting networks with developed media industry and shelf, there is another mutual broadcasting company with the same long history. It is only backward for various reasons, but therefore, it does not reject the so-called check news and is willing to broadcast Nixon TV interview programs.

In addition, there is a loophole in the American radio and television industry, which is called "broadcast joint sale", which means that when the radio network is not handled, all TV stations and radio stations directly obtain the broadcasting rights of TV and radio programs.

Therefore, although the three major broadcasting networks, the American Broadcasting Corporation, the National Broadcasting Corporation and CBS, have a cold attitude towards Nixon's TV interview program, many of them have a strong interest in the TV stations inside.

It can be said that the preparation of Nixon's TV interview program can be regarded as important people, money and platform. It should be progressing smoothly, but it is still stuck.

Gao Xian, who originally thought that as long as resources were available, could start work, was quite surprised. After a little understanding, he knew that it was not so easy to reach an agreement on the demands of both sides.

Nick Songken authorized the TV talk show. In addition to taking the $600000 reward to ease the financial situation, he also wanted to reverse his public impression; David Frost hopes to reveal some previously undisclosed news about the Watergate incident through the TV interview program. In particular, Nixon wants to show an attitude that is in line with everyone's correct political expectations, that is, to plead guilty to the Watergate incident.

This shows how big the differences between the two sides are!

You know, before President Ford pardoned Nixon, he wanted Nixon to write a "confession" to the Watergate incident, but Nixon refused; Considering the sensational effect of the program, David Frost also wanted Nixon to plead guilty to the Watergate incident, which was too fanciful.

But anyway, the key to the jam of Nixon's TV interview program is still Nixon.

When referring to this matter, Gao Xian first pointed out, "David Frost is the most suitable producer. Everyone has chosen him. As early as 1968, he had a pleasant interview with you, and you met David Frost and his family at the White House in 1970."

"This foundation is very rare, enough to ensure that David Frost will maintain his goodwill to you during the interview."

Speaking of this, Gao Xian specially stressed, "in fact, David Frost is easy to convince. You might as well ask Colonel Jack about David Frost."

Jack Brennan was a Marine Corps assistant promoted by Nixon after he became president of the United States in 1969; Jack Brennan was one of Nixon's entourage when he visited China in 1972; After Nixon resigned and dissolved the staff team, only Jack Brennan was left as chief of staff.

This chief of staff belongs to the title of pretending to be Boyi, which is actually an assistant.

Jack Brennan's work content is roughly as the liaison between Nixon and the US Congress and the US general affairs administration, dealing with Nixon's mail and financial budget, as well as small-scale personnel employment, etc.

Gao Xian's implication is that Nixon's attitude towards the TV interview program does not need to change from his original enthusiasm to his current frustration. Jack Brennan and David Frost can talk about the conditions directly.

Nixon sighed softly. "Maybe some things are more appropriate to express through the memoirs I'm writing."

Gao Xian shook his head slightly. "Television is now the closest media to the public, and its influence is so great. I think you must have realized that Kennedy defeated you by a narrow margin in the presidential election in 1960. It didn't depend on the television media."

Then, Gao Xian applied the experience of high traffic V in the Internet era decades later in the "old script" and said: "for you, forgetting is more terrible than controversy. If you lose attention, you will completely become a figure in the public view as some people hope."

"In fact, I think if people today can live to the end of this century, they will realize how important your historical contribution is compared with the controversy caused by the Watergate incident!"

Gao Xian's painstaking lobbying seemed to hit Nixon's heart. He muttered, "how many people understand my historical contribution?"

"Therefore, you need to further contact with the public, and TV interview program is the most suitable way at present. The audience is willing to go far beyond the traditional memoirs." Gao Xian took the opportunity to answer.

Nixon nodded and said, "let Jack talk to David Frost again."

Feeling that Nixon was still unusually cautious, Gao Xian said, "I recommend you an expert in the field of public relations. I think some of your questions can be answered."

Nixon said with great interest, "it must be very good to be recommended by you personally."

"That's true," Gao Xian said with a smile. "He's the famous Hollywood agent Owen Lazar."

When it comes to Hollywood agents, the "old script" must be Brian Lord of the innovative artist agency and Ellie Emanuel of William Morris and endeavour entertainment in a few decades.

But in fact, every age has its own heroes, and Owen Lazar is the best at present.

At the end of the century of "old script", the American Film Society selected 50 greatest stars from the 500 film stars in the American film industry in the 20th century, as an important part of the "100 years and 100 big" series of the American Film Society - "AFI 100 years and 100 big stars".

Among them, the first is Humphrey Bogart and the second is Gary grant, with Owen Lazar as the agent.

In addition, Owen Lazar is also the agent of the famous American writer Hemingway.

This is only a small part of Owen Lazar's customers who are generally recognized and well-known. There are more heavyweight Hollywood stars, screenwriters, novelists and so on.

Owen Lazar can achieve such a high level of his career as an agent, which can be imagined in the field of public relations.

After Gao Xian introduced it, Nixon basically agreed: "arrange for Owen Lazar to meet me sometime."

Gao Xian has become a powerful figure in Hollywood through paramount. He has dealt with Owen Lazar for a long time. Coupled with the brand of Nixon, Owen Lazar is almost ready to come.

Nixon certainly didn't need an agent. Gao Xian introduced Owen Lazar to a job as a public relations consultant.

Owen Lazar was very interested in this, and soon found out his scope of responsibility and quickly gave corresponding opinions, that is, the TV interview program is conducive to the public to understand Nixon, but the TV interview program obtained by David Frost, if the editing is unreasonable, is easy to confuse the topic focus and is harmful to reversing Nixon's public image.

After Owen Lazar's old advice, not to mention Nixon who murmured in his heart, he suddenly realized that even the high string followed him.

Finally, Nixon made it clear that he would talk to David Frost about how TV talk shows work.

Specifically, Jack Brennan, Owen Lazar, David Frost and others sat together to renegotiate, and Gao Xian, the behind the scenes driver, listened.

After the Nixon TV interview program ran aground, it also helped everyone to have a deeper understanding of all aspects of the project.

First of all, David Frost must ensure the attraction of the program, not to mention how sensational it is, but there must be new things that have not been disclosed. In particular, Nixon inevitably has to make a statement about the "Watergate incident". Otherwise, the program has no meaning to continue.

Second, Nixon wanted to reverse his bad personal and public image, even if it was difficult.

Owen Lazar took the lead in making concessions. Nixon could express regret over the Watergate incident, and even David Frost's questions could be sharper.

David Frost also promised to create a faint atmosphere of sympathy in the program to guide the American audience's aversion to Nixon.

Listening to the participants discuss the specific operation of how to guide public opinion one by one, Gao Xian couldn't help but praise himself. Sure enough, all these people are elites who are familiar with American rules.
