Although he had already guessed that Sif would refuse, Jamie still put a regretful expression on his face.

Even so, Jamie got the idea out there to make Simple Living better.

"You just mentioned that the show "Simple Life" was inspired by Mark Twain's "The Prince and the Beggar", but the show is only going to shoot the part where the prince becomes a beggar, so that Paris and Casey, two rich daughters, can experience the life of ordinary people, but in my opinion, in fact, the beggar becomes a prince is the most interesting part of this show."

Both Sif and Serena had thoughtful expressions on their faces.

In order to make his statement more convincing, Jamie took out his mobile phone on the spot and dialed the phone number of his assistant Betty.

While on the phone, Jamie tells Sif that Betty's family lives in Queens and is a commoner family that can't be more standard.

The phone rang only twice and was quickly connected.

"Hi Betty, are you home now?"

"Yes, Mr. Dutton."

"Are Hilda and your father too?"

"That's right."

"Great, I want to do a telephone questionnaire for you and your family, you don't have to worry about anything, just answer the truth."

"Okay, no problem."

"That's right, remember the news you called me the night before? Just now, I learned more about the show from Mr. Roy, the daughter of Mr. Roy, the chairman of the Westar Group, that Paris and Casey will be going to a small town in Arkansas to experience the life of a common person, do you find this show appealing to you and your family? ”

"Mr. Dutton, I asked my sister and my father, and my sister is very interested in this show, she likes to watch all kinds of gossip news about Hilton on weekdays, while my father is the opposite, he thinks this kind of show is boring, and watching it is a complete waste of time."

"What about you?"

"I'm going to keep an eye on the show for work, but from the information I have so far, I don't think it's going to be very interesting and engaging."

"Then if new content is added to the show now, while the two rich daughters go to experience civilian life, two girls are also selected from the two civilian families to experience the life of Paris and Casey's rich daughters, will your family change their views on this show?"

"My dad said that the idea of poor people going to experience rich people is just as boring, but at least it is still very new to him, and my sister said that if the show is really filmed like this, she will definitely not miss every episode of the show, and as for me, to be honest, I am also curious about what it is like for a poor girl to live a rich life."

"Okay, thank you very much!"

Jamie hung up and looked up at Sif .

He had just turned on the speaker on his phone, and Sif heard the whole time of the call.

In fact, even if Jamie doesn't make the call, Sif thinks it's an interesting idea to increase the number of poor people to experience the life of the rich, and to set up a control group with Paris and Casey.

In fact, for the vast majority of audiences, the story of the rich who fell and became poor is obviously not as attractive as the story of the poor becoming rich.

But Sif also knew in her heart that Jamie had no good intentions when he pointed it out to her.

According to the normal idea of competition, Jamie should be trying all kinds of ways to obstruct, stir up pornography, and attack "Simple Story".

"Simple Story" ended up being a fiasco in the ratings, which was in Jamie's best interest.

However, just now, Jamie gave Sief a serious lesson, what is called a higher-end business war.

not only did not suppress "Simple Story", but put forward suggestions to make the show better.

But this is definitely not a rival, on the contrary, it is a higher-end way to suppress the opponent.

As Jamie said at the beginning, "Simple Story" does a better job and Paris gets more out of the show, and the two things are not equated.

Especially after joining the control group of poor girls to experience the rich daughter, Paris's limelight in the show is likely to be stolen by poor girls.

No contrast, no harm!

Paris herself is in a state of black and red, and everyone's attention to her does not mean that everyone likes her.

Now there's a girl from a poor family who takes Paris's place, and if she performs well enough on the show, she can easily win everyone's favor.

On the contrary, Paris will become the object of everyone's rejection in the show.

Paris participated in this show with the original intention of becoming famous, but it ended up attracting all infamy.

The more popular the show, the more people scolded her.

This definitely made Paris depressed and collapsed more than directly stirring up the show.

And Shiv knew that Jamie was using her, but in the face of such a suggestion that could make "Simple Story" a hit show and win more points in front of her father, she couldn't help but be moved.

As for the possibility of offending Paris by doing so, Sif didn't care.

And Sif has plenty of reasons to excuse herself.

Weisda TV is only responsible for doing a good job of the program, and as for Paris being scolded and hacked in the program, it is entirely due to Paris's own reasons, and it has nothing to do with the program team.

Of course, there is an important premise for achieving the "show effect" that Jamie envisioned, that is, to find a poor child who can experience the life of a rich daughter, must be of good character and likable enough.

The key two people's backgrounds can't be faked, otherwise when Paris comes to her senses, she will definitely use this incident to make a big fuss to win public sympathy.

In terms of the choice of two poor children, the program team actually has a lot of room for operation.

You can find two poor girls with good conduct and likability to be on the show, or you can find two poor girls with bad conduct or even criminal records to be on the show.

Although the latter will lower the reputation and ratings of the show to a certain extent, in the case of comparing with each other, it may increase Paris's popularity and reputation in the show.

Because of this, Sif has bargaining chips with Jamie.

"I'm in charge of convincing the program team to accept the proposal of swapping the identities of the poor and the rich, and even the two poor girls can be provided by you, but you also have to promise me one thing."

Sif said, glancing at Serena.

Obviously, the "you" she says is more of Serena than Jamie.

"What's the matter?"

Serena asked.

Sif returned to Jamie's face.

"I helped you this time, and if it turns out to be a success for "Simple Life" as you expected, Paris and Casey will never continue to participate in the recording of the second season of the show."

Jamie had already guessed Sif at this time, and preemptively said for her:

"So you're going to invite Serena and the others to the second season of Simple Life?"

Sif nodded.

If the show is only the first season of popularity, the short-lived success obviously can't win Siv too many points from his father Logan.

Only by producing a program that ratings Changhong can it be proved that Sif is indeed discerning.

The easiest way to ensure that the second season of the show can also have good ratings is to invite Serena and them to the show.

By the way, you can also rub a wave of popularity of "Manhattan Socialite".

It doesn't take Jamie's reminder for Serena to guess what Sif meant.

She handed her hand directly to Sif .

"Deal!"

The handshake ended, and Sif looked at Jamie again.

"Do you have any suggestions for those two poor girls who experience the life of a rich daughter?"

"Simple Life," like "Manhattan Socialite," will begin recording in December, with the first episode airing in January.

At most, it will give Jamie a week to pick a person.

Jamie thought about it for a moment and then told Sif that he only had one suitable candidate at the moment.

This man is Betty's neighbor, Joey.

Joey not only has a sympathetic family background, but also a strong and independent personality that is very likable.

The key is that she also has a face exactly the same as Jamie's Oscar-winning actress Jennifer Lawrence in her previous life.

Let Joey swap identities with Paris on the show, and he will definitely steal most of Paris's limelight.

By the way, it can also do a wave of publicity for "Modern Family" and later TV shopping channels.

As for the poor girl who swapped identities with Casey, Jamie had a suitable candidate in mind, but the other party was far away in Chicago, and Jamie needed to further confirm the identity of the other party.

Leaving Serena to speak to Sif , Jamie walked to the next room and dialed Betty again.

In addition to informing Betty about Joey's recommendation for "Simple Lives", Jamie also asked Betty to go to Chicago's South Side to check on someone.

"Her name is Fiona Gallagher, she is the eldest in the family, she has four or five younger siblings, and a lazy dad named Frank, so much specific information, you don't need to contact the other party directly, just investigate the other party's situation."

Betty on the other end of the line jotted down the key information provided by Jamie on a piece of paper, and when she hung up, she told her father and sister about it.

My father expressed concern because Chicago's South Side was a slum and the law and order was very bad.

Betty said she would be more careful, but her father was still not at ease and offered to accompany Betty there.

Hilda also felt that it was safer to do so, and Betty had no choice but to agree.

Jamie, after the phone call, he returned to the living room, just in time to hear Sif and Serena talking about a famous movie - "Titanic"!

Coincidentally, Weststar Pictures happens to be the producer of "Titanic".

Since there is no little plum in this time and space, the starring role of "Titanic" has also been replaced by someone else, but the director is still truck driver James Cameron.

Fortunately, the effect of the movie is no different from Jamie's previous life, and Cameron also won the Oscars the following year with this movie, shouting the classic "I am the king of the world".

The main purpose of Sif this visit is related to Cameron's new film.

Fiona from the American drama "Shameless"
