In the office building of DreamWorks, Li Mingbao sat in his boss's chair, and behind him stood Li Mingbao's new personal secretary, Mieko. As a secretary who can be admired by Li Mingbao, www.biquge.info Pen Fun Pavilion is naturally quite good, coupled with an OL costume designed by Li Mingbao himself, even John, who doesn't appreciate the beauty of Oriental people, glances at Mieko from time to time on Li Mingbao's side.

On the desk, Li Mingbao was full of all kinds of materials, and then said to John: "Studio or something, you don't have any problems with Twentieth Century Fox, right?" ”

Hearing Li Mingbao's question, John naturally said: "Of course there is no problem, don't you still believe in the strength of our company?" It's this initial investment, which is a bit big, especially if you also need a very modern studio, which is not a small amount of money. And you actually want to use that kind of personal computer to display the question bank, and also need a projector, isn't it a bit too expensive? Its practical panel or something,It's okay,After all, most of the TV stations now,It's like this program,You actually have to get a projector,And install some computers,This cost,For the program,Is there any essential improvement? ”

In the end, John was a little in pain. Because of the program planning given by Li Mingbao, it is very good, even he John can't say any shortcomings when he watches it, but the problem is that it is so good, it is based on large-scale investment, just such a studio, their investment is millions, this is still dollars, and they share it with Twentieth Century Fox, which is also very painful. Although it is a one-time investment, it will take a long time after that, but this one-time investment is even higher than the cost of filming a TV series.

Especially before the show was not profitable, such an investment was really distressing. So John really doesn't understand what Li Mingbao thinks about this aspect of the problem, because in his opinion, investment doesn't need so much money to achieve results, and the external environment is actually not too useful for this show, the real core is still the dream of making a fortune, with this thing, even if the decoration is simple, it doesn't matter at all.

"John, on this issue, I can tell you clearly, in fact, I am not very satisfied with the current decoration, mainly because the technology cannot keep up at all, otherwise, even if it costs tens of millions of dollars, I will not blink.

You know, what's the name of our show? The names are all millionaires, and the external packaging environment, if it is very poor, doesn't it make people think that our show is not of high grade? You can make an ordinary person a millionaire, but your decoration is in tatters, doesn't it look quite unconvincing?

To put it bluntly, the real core of this show is that it is not bad for money, how to let those contestants know that we are fully capable of paying? This outer packaging is an important link. If you save on the outer packaging, how can you win people's trust? So this decoration, packaging, we must do it in accordance with the top decoration now, and we also have to take some quite high-end things to support the scene, in a word, it is to let all people understand that our program is not bad for money. Even during the production of the show, we had to get a million dollars in cash and put it there on the spot, so that everyone knew that as long as he could answer our questions, then the million dollars in cash could be packed and taken away.

We do this show, we must not give the contestants checks, after all, although the check is the same as cash, but the ability to attract attention, cash can be much more useful than checks, such an arrangement, not only can make the contestants on the scene red, but also can make all the people who watch our TV program red, just these cash, can support part of the ratings, after all, the average person is different from us, it is difficult for them to have the opportunity to see so much money at one time. And to see so much money, they have to watch our show.

Thinking about the millions of dollars in cash piled up on the spot, isn't it a bit like going to Las Vegas? Ordinary people don't have such a chance to spend a lot of money, never will, and now, our program can meet their requirements, as long as they can answer fifteen questions, then a million dollars, it's his. This is equivalent to a person who has no capital, but can gamble so much money through his knowledge, which is completely a business without capital, who can not be impressed? Li Mingbao said with a smile.

Li Mingbao's description made John a little moved, imagining that as a contestant, the bright banknotes were in front of his eyes, but he could gamble without a penny, completely use knowledge to gamble, lose without any loss, win is a million, even if he doesn't win a million, three or five thousand dollars, for Americans now, it is not a small amount, at least you can buy a second-hand car. Such a show, for all the contestants, is completely a business without capital, there is no price for losing, and there is no reason why it should not be attractive if you win.

But John's brain quickly cleared up, after all, he is not an ordinary person, although a million dollars is more, but it does not affect the play of his brain, so Li Mingbao proposed these things, although John agrees, but still has a doubt.

"It is true that this can mobilize everyone's enthusiasm, but there is one question that I don't know if you have considered Mr. Li, that is, doing so can easily cause some critical remarks, saying that we use cash to tempt people, which is a violation of human rights. Although we don't care much about such statements, there will be some troubles after all. It's like a rich man showing off his wealth, for an individual, it doesn't have much impact, but for a show, the negative impact will always be a little troublesome. ”

Hearing John's concern, Li Mingbao replied disdainfully: "This can also be regarded as a negative impact? To solve such a problem, in fact, it is quite simple, we can use our hands and feet in publicity, and directly say that knowledge is wealth, and knowledge changes life. In line with the theme of this show, it can be turned into a positive discussion, and cash is used to stimulate everyone's attention to knowledge, which is completely a praise for knowledge, maybe the major schools still have to sing praises to us, how can there be trouble? ”

If it is in the implicit East, this may indeed cause some unnecessary trouble, after all, in Chinese culture, there is still a saying that you do not bend your waist for five buckets of rice, so directly using money to smash intellectuals may not be too effective. But for the Western world, it is the interest relationship of Chiguoguo, who doesn't learn knowledge to make money? So there will be no market for such remarks at all, a show like Millionaire is completely in line with the worldview of Westerners, and there will be no trouble at all, otherwise, how can such a show be popular in the Western world and become popular directly?

If a small TV station engages in such a money-making project, then perhaps those capitalists will use the media to clean up such programs in order to get a piece of the pie, but now it is the 20th Century Fox Company that has launched this program, and in the future, it will be the News Corporation, and when dealing with such media groups in public opinion, as long as they are not stupid, they will know what the consequences are. So even if the show is a little more explicit, Li Mingbao doesn't mind at all, after all, it is not himself who is doing the show now, but a huge interest group, and there is no reason why everyone will not protect such a Jinshan.

With Li Mingbao's words, John is completely relieved about this show. No matter where you look at it, there is no risk of hitting the street in such a show, and it doesn't matter if you want to make more money and increase investment, it will be high, so that everyone can understand at once that this show has connotations, but it can make everyone feel at ease.

Seeing that John nodded and agreed with his statement, Li Mingbao said again: "These external things, in fact, are not difficult for us at all, the key lies in the connotation of this show, those databases, how did you get them?" I'm not very good at these things because of my connections in the United States, but you shouldn't have much of a problem with this stuff, right? ”

"The problem is not very big, the most important thing is the idea of this question bank, you said before, this question bank can not be too difficult, the standard is that all the questions, ordinary people can answer, completely eliminate the kind of questions that only professionals can answer. In this way, the question is easy to do, but the key is that the question is too simple, which will greatly improve the clearance rate. If there is a millionaire in every issue, then we will not lose money? John complained to Li Mingbao.

Just because a simple question is true doesn't mean it's really simple. It's entirely possible to make big obstacles to the choice, using similar options to confuse the correct answer. And our topics must cover a wide range, whether it is astronomy, geography, or cultural mathematics, each topic must cover a wide range. Although these are basic questions, after doing so, it is impossible for ordinary people to answer them unless they have the most extensive knowledge. But for those viewers, they won't know the trap here, and some of the multiple-choice questions that the public knows will give them the illusion that they, ordinary people, can answer a few questions correctly. As long as we can achieve this goal, then we have succeeded.

We don't use difficult questions to test the contestants, but we torture them with a vast sea of questions, and we want to answer all the questions in the shortest possible time, and there are not too many such people in the world. So what you think is a big increase in the clearance rate is simply impossible.

In ancient times, when there were not many knowledge points, there might have been many erudite people, but now, who dares to say that they are very erudite? People who can give a certain aspect and a point to a thorough study can be regarded as out-and-out scientists, in this case, the amount of personal knowledge, under the teamwork, is simply inconspicuous, John, how many people in the world can use a person's knowledge to pick up dozens of artificial question banks in different fields? Li Mingbao is really not optimistic about the challengers of this kind of show.

The big guy did a similar show back then, and after going deep into the internal understanding of the show, he showed sympathy for those challengers.
