Chapter 432: Millionaire

readx;

To set up a company in the United States, the procedure is very simple, as long as you have money, even if there is only one person and there is no department, you can get the company's license. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 Info such a company, usually also called a leather bag company, anyway, the registered capital or something, you don't have to care too much about it, buy a company certificate, it's really not too difficult.

The company that Li Mingbao wants to set up will naturally not be that kind of leather bag company, because he does not need such a company, and there is no need to set it up in person. In the United States, the company that makes TV shows is not Li Mingbao's original, there are a wealth of related practitioners here, and there are also related companies. Even many companies of this kind are usually affiliated with a certain TV station and exist as an independent subsidiary of the TV station.

After the establishment of the company, Li Mingbao did not recruit too many personnel for the time being, because at this time, there were personnel supported by the Twentieth Century Fox Company, and there was no need to recruit them himself, although there was a suspicion of a leather bag company, but in terms of strength, it was quite strong, and the reason why he did not recruit those personnel was to save expenses, and the other reason was that the newly recruited personnel wanted to quickly produce the program well, which was not so simple, and it took a certain amount of time to run in.

And now Li Mingbao, what he lacks the most is this kind of run-in time, in the era when everything pays attention to efficiency, where is there time for him to run in his own company, so he simply let the people from the Twentieth Century Fox Company do it for him, anyway, he pays for it, and he is not afraid that they will not do well.

And the name of the new company is also through the name of DreamWorks, the name is called DreamWorks TV Program Production Company, which is an independent subsidiary of DreamWorks, but the relationship is not so deep, and the most important thing is to borrow DreamWorks' existing territory and fame. Anyway, the most important value of this company is not in these actual industries, but in those programs. Spending a sum of money to buy another place is not cost-effective for Li Mingbao.

It's clear that it's a company to sell, so why do it like that? If the housing prices in the United States will grow like crazy within two or three years, or other industries or something, it will grow like crazy, and Li Mingbao doesn't mind making a lot of money on it.

It's a pity that the situation in the United States, especially in the prices of related industries, has not risen much, and there is no benefit at all.

In cooperation with Twentieth Century Fox on this project, what Li Mingbao really needs to do is actually quite simple, which is to get the complete content of the show out, and then hand it over to the producer over there. He doesn't have to participate much in the specific content, at most, the lawyer on his side will follow up, so as not to let Li Mingbao suffer in some small traps.

The first show Li Mingbao wants to do is naturally the millionaire show that John watched before. If you want to make a name for yourself, this show is a very good stepping stone, and it can attract all the viewers who watch Twentieth Century Fox TV as quickly as possible. And to be able to cause a lot of interaction.

To be honest, in this day and age, the TV station's programs are not very advanced in terms of creativity, and the most important performance is the interaction between the TV station and the audience, which is not very eye-catching, and even most of the TV station programs are very weak in terms of the interactivity of the program. At most, it is on the TV series, and it is a little more expressive. And this performance is usually on the plot, if the ratings drop, then cut the show, which is quite rough.

And to really make all TV programs care about the node of audience interaction, it is still necessary to go to Friends, in this TV drama program, the TV station is relatively mature for the content interaction of the program. On Friends, they no longer have a decline in ratings, so they immediately cut the TV series rudely and replaced it with a new TV series, but according to the audience's feedback, appropriately add or delete some content that everyone is willing or unwilling to watch.

Originally, a TV series, from the start to the end, the cost of investment is not a small amount, simply because of the ratings of the TV series, the program is rudely cut or extended, whether it is for the TV series or for entertainment programs, it is not an act in line with capital.

In the TV series Friends, the producers, or the TV station, have implemented innovation, they do not decide the direction of the program according to the ratings of some individuals, but according to the changes of the audience, and make changes to the program, and do not directly kill the program because of the low ratings in certain periods, but through the audience's feedback, to determine the direction of the TV series.

Just such a change has turned Friends into a long-lasting TV series that has been broadcast for many years. In terms of cost, it saves the production of TV dramas, and also allows TV viewers to increase the viscosity of TV stations infinitely because of a TV series.

That is, starting from Friends, and then TV dramas all over the world began to develop programs that can flourish for a long time, which not only saves costs, but also improves the viscosity of users, which is a good thing for TV stations and capitalists.

Of course, there are not many TV dramas that can really be prosperous, after all, most of the programs have congenital problems, and they are not programs that can be put down for many years, even if they are excellent, they can't grow. This is not something that can be changed by the will of the audience. There are also some programs with congenital screenwriters that are confused, and the ratings are not very good, and they still want it to live a long time, which is just a joke.

The really long-lived TV series is not that there is only one Friends, before Friends, Japanese and Korean TV dramas also had the kind of programs that were very long, even broadcast for decades, but this kind of program was famous in the local area before, and after it came out of some places, the influence was almost non-existent. It was only after Friends that such programs were promoted around the world, and TV stations began to focus on this type of program.

And for the current Li Mingbao, the issue of interactivity, the performance of the TV series, the highest achievement, is like that, if you want to go on all the time, there is no end, it is basically difficult, it is very simple, no matter how good the content of the TV series is, he must rely on the actors to promote. Actors are the key to the longevity of a TV series, if several actors have accidents at the same time, then no matter how good this TV series is, it will not be able to continue, because the audience is watching those actors, and your actors are gone, and the audience is still watching eggs.

Therefore, the interaction of TV dramas has great limitations, and the risk is also very high, especially the risk of actors, and then those TV stations also understood this risk, so in the subsequent TV dramas, new roles are constantly introduced, and then there are constantly key roles that are retained.

This is done so that the show will not be completely unplayable because of one or two main performances. If it's really a problem with the main performance, then directly let the leading actor become a supporting role, and then the supporting role becomes the protagonist, so that the story can continue to be made up and will not affect the whole movie. But in any case, the interaction of TV series has such a flaw, and the congenital problem cannot be changed at all.

And an entertainment program like Millionaire is much easier than a TV series, the host or something, as long as the audience is not satisfied, it doesn't matter if you replace it, as long as there is a profit, it is not a big deal to change a host in every episode. Anyway, the core of variety shows is not in the host, but in the creativity of those programs, so in terms of risk, it is much smaller than that of TV dramas.

The real difficulty of the millionaire show is not in other issues, but in the question bank. After all, Li Mingbao and John didn't really want a millionaire to appear in every episode of this show, so that the show would still have a fart to make money?

Millionaire, in fact, is a slogan, in fact, there are millionaires in every issue, so millionaires in the United States are a little too cheap. There is no benefit to the show. Don't you see, even when the whole world is engaged in this show, when there are real passers, there are very few people, and most of them just get some consolation prizes, tens of thousands of dollars or twenty thousand dollars, which is not a big deal for the cost of each program.

Therefore, the real connotation of millionaire lies in the question bank, something else, but an external thing, the core is the question bank. And this question bank, and can't make it too difficult, because it's too difficult, maybe everyone will feel very fresh at first, but after a long time, everyone will not be interested in such things, after all, even fools understand, if you really want to get so much money, it is impossible at all, even if you are a professional scientist, you can't know too many things, especially at the current stage of social development, even if it is under a large framework, there are countless sub-categories, no matter how awesome the talent, you can't play all the trades.

And the question bank is too difficult and too high-end, and from the beginning it will lose a large part of the participation of the population, because they understand very well that it is quite difficult for them to answer one of those questions, and if they want to answer fifteen questions in a row in the shortest possible time, it is no less than letting them memorize the book, which is completely a provocation to the IQ of the majority of the people, and the people who watch the show, the largest group, are such a group of people, and if they do this, they can directly kill people, and no one is willing to go up to find abuse, popularity or something, naturally there will be no.

Therefore, this question bank must be very simple, quite simple, even the vast majority of people can know, all the questions, must be the simplest, the most basic kind of thing. And in this way, it is easy for people to blow up the question bank answers. So there must be a balance between simplicity and difficulty, and how to balance it is the real key point of the success of this show.

Li Mingbao naturally has a very clear set of ideas about the external decoration of the show, so at this point, he won't worry too much, draw the sketch or something, and the people below will naturally be able to do it well.
