Chapter 435: Li Mingbao's concessions
readx;
As a big boss, at the beginning, John was indeed taken to the ditch by Li Mingbao with a title, but John's ability to be the boss of Twentieth Century Fox also shows that he is not a simple person. Pen fun and pavilion www.biquge.info so he can jump out of the trap of the question as quickly as possible, and then look at the problem with the mentality of the boss.
With just three questions, John agreed with Li Mingbao's so-called simple questions from the bottom of his heart. The so-called basic problems, when they arrived at Li Mingbao, were one big pit after another, and if they fell into this pit, it would be difficult to climb out. Because Li Mingbao's topic is simply tempting people to put their thinking completely on the topic, rather than looking at whether these topics are really simple through the views of outsiders.
So after understanding how much this topic is, John no longer dwells on the question of the topic: "Okay, Mr. Li, on the question of the question bank, I think your approach is quite mature. Rather than testing those contestants with the most difficult questions, I think this way of asking questions can really play a role in blocking. And it can also make everyone think that our questions are quite simple. ”
Originally, Li Mingbao was still waiting for John to continue answering questions, and then tortured him with one question after another. But Li Mingbao didn't expect that just three questions would let John get out of the trap of the topic, and then return to his normal train of thought. Li Mingbao also admired John's reaction.
"John, it seems you understand what I have in mind. Compared with those topics that are very difficult at first glance, we make questions like this, so that people will not feel that the million dollars in cash is not so difficult to get, even if the vast majority of people fail, and it is even difficult to have a character who clears the customs all year round, they will not think that our company will create traps for them, but reflect on whether they really have a comprehensive grasp of knowledge, and no one will put the contradiction on our program group at that time.
And in doing so, they can also gain a broader market, after all, even ordinary people, they can answer a few questions casually, and then see the poor performance of those contestants on stage, they will only think that those who participate are stupid, not that our program team is not friendly enough. In this way, the show can be done for a long time.
Of course, we are not saying that we will not improve the difficulty of the program's question bank at all, just like we have several ladders of questions before a million cash, and put the difficulty on the bright side, which will also make others understand that we are not playing tricks and can get more positive reviews, which is quite beneficial for our program. Li Mingbao continued.
At this time, John had no objections to Li Mingbao's idea of the millionaire show. John thought that if he came to do this show, he would not be as mature as Li Mingbao at all. Just like the question bank question, he was worried at the beginning, but at this time, it was a complete joke, if such a question can answer fifteen questions correctly in a short period of time, such a person will get a million dollars, it is definitely not any accident.
"Okay, on the issue of the show, I have decided not to interfere in the future, what you need, we will support on the side of Twentieth Century Fox. One of the most important problems is that this program must be put on our TV station as soon as possible, and I believe that as long as this program is broadcast, it will definitely cause quite a stir. What kind of publicity you need, I will give you what kind of publicity, as long as the speed, spend a little more money, it doesn't matter. John said very generously.
"On the issue of publicity, you really need to do a lot of things, and after the studio is renovated, you can start to enter the official publicity stage, and you also have to recruit participants from the public. If this show wants to be really popular, for us, the question bank must be handled well, and for those audiences, it must be fair and just.
Therefore, in terms of the contestants, we must not make small moves, nor can we leak the question bank, let us come by ourselves, in order to achieve the purpose of saving costs. If we really want to do this show well, we must let real outsiders get money, not we distribute it internally, and we must strictly implement this point. We don't lack that little money, but we must have a fair reputation, so that we can achieve our goals.
Also, when promoting, you have to put out the signboard of our DreamWorks program production company, so as not to let others think that this program is from your TV station. Let everyone know that this show is a collaboration between our company and your company, not one. That's how we can sell our DreamWorks at a good price. Li Mingbao said with a serious expression.
"Okay, do it according to your requirements, as long as this show is popular, your company can be as popular. I'm here to congratulate your company on its promising future, and if it really comes to an acquisition, your company will definitely sell it for a good price. "John's request for Li Mingbao is to meet it with all his might, and he has no bad ideas.
John can cooperate so much, naturally because he and Li Mingbao now have common interests. Under the premise of this interest, even if DreamWorks is allowed to take advantage of it, it doesn't matter, anyway, in the end, it will always be the party with the majority of capital like them who will benefit. Unless Li Mingbao's company is more promising than Twentieth Century Fox in the future, they will always take advantage of the cooperation. As for if DreamWorks really makes it bigger, in fact, it is not a loss for John himself, after all, he is very likely to join DreamWorks, and then the capital will be changed from left hand to right hand, in essence, it will not make much difference to him. As long as the capital is still there, he will not lose money.
Seeing John talking so well, Li Mingbao was also very happy. After all, the biggest problem for a program, especially a cooperative program like this, is that the relationship between the program producer and the TV station is not so friendly, and if that happens, it will be a disaster for the production of the program. This is also part of the reason why Li Mingbao wanted to buy a TV station at the beginning, only his own TV station, the program can be done as much as he wants, and it is not so neat to cooperate with others. And now being able to work with John so happily is of course good news for the show.
So Li Mingbao didn't mind revealing a little more content to John, anyway, the power of the show is now in the hands of Li Mingbao, and it is beneficial for both parties to release some power appropriately.
"John, on the issue of the show, in fact, you can also make more efforts on your side, such as the host, on this, the reserves on my side are basically equal to zero, and on this show, there is no role at all. And for you Twentieth Century Fox, I am afraid that there are a lot of talents in reserve, especially those who need to be the best program hosts, let them host the millionaire program, wouldn't they be able to quickly make their own fame, and even in the future, they can rely on the millionaire program to produce famous program hosts in turn.
In this regard, I think there is a lot of room for cooperation between the two of us, as long as our DreamWorks programs are effective, then the programs in my hands can be continuously broadcast, and then I will produce the show, you will be the producer, in front of and behind the scenes, which can make DreamWorks develop rapidly, but also allow your people to get sufficient exercise, under the complementary advantages, we will both benefit from the benefits will not be small, what do you think?
We can even make different millionaire programs because of the different styles of different program hosts, which enriches the connotation and fun of the millionaire program, and can also allow the people on your side to get full exercise, and I think there is still the possibility of further cooperation between the two sides. Li Mingbao looked at John and said very sincerely.
Hearing Li Mingbao's words, John's expression was obviously better. For him, letting Li Mingbao take advantage of Twentieth Century Fox is of course because there is a greater interest in front of him. But if Li Mingbao doesn't know how to advance and retreat, John's opinion of Li Mingbao will always decline.
And Li Mingbao's concessions to the production staff and the people in front of the stage made John's mood much better. After all, these personnel are the property of Twentieth Century Fox, and it is not a loss for Twentieth Century Fox to increase the value of these personnel. Originally, in terms of the arrangement of these personnel, even if Li Mingbao wanted them all, John couldn't say anything, after all, the show was all made by Li Mingbao, so what was the big deal if he arranged a few people?
But this way of eating meat and drinking soup is obviously not a normal mode of cooperation. For any collaborator, a win-win situation is the right way to consolidate everyone's interests. And Li Mingbao is doing this, which is obviously making profits, not the kind of cooperation that is too fierce, which also makes John a lot easier.
And John's idea is exactly what Li Mingbao wants to express. After he understood the real rules of Hollywood, he was changing his work model, and now he obviously wants to stand with John, so he is willing to let go of these benefits that should have been obtained by him, so that he can not only gain the favor of John and Twentieth Century Fox, but also save his own capital, such a thing, Li Mingbao naturally has to do. If you really want to establish your own sphere of influence in the American TV market, it is obviously not the right time, so Li Mingbao is not in a hurry, he has time, and when the external environment is good, with his ability, it is easy to achieve his goal.
Since this is the case, Li Mingbao does not need to be so hurried to get his forces out when the external environment is bad, not to mention distracting his own energy, it is not easy to produce results. If you do something after your DreamWorks TV program production company is famous, at that time, you will be able to achieve the goal of being a matter of course.
