The procedures for setting up a company in the United States are very simple. As long as you have money, you can get a company license even if you have only one person and no department. Such a company is usually called a leather company. Anyway, you donĄŻt have to worry too much about the registered capital. ItĄŻs really not too difficult to buy a company certificate. The company Li Mingbao wants to establish will naturally not be a leather company, because he does not need or need to establish such a company himself. In the United States, the companies that produce TV programs are not created by Li Mingbao. There are a lot of relevant practitioners and related companies here. Even many companies of this type are usually affiliated with a certain TV station and exist as independent subsidiaries of the TV station. After the establishment of the company, Li Mingbao did not recruit too many people for the time being, because at this time, he had people supported by Twentieth Century Fox, so he did not need to recruit himself. Although he was suspected of being a leather company, in terms of strength, he was It is quite strong. One of the reasons why it does not recruit those personnel is to save money. The other reason is that it is not that simple for the newly recruited personnel to quickly produce a good program and it will take a certain amount of time to get used to it. And what Li Mingbao lacks most now is this kind of running-in time. In an era when everything is about efficiency, there is no time for him to run-in with his own company, so he simply lets the people from Twentieth Century Fox do it for him. You are paying for it anyway, so you are not afraid that they will not do well. The name of the new company is also borrowed from the name of DreamWorks. The name is called DreamWorks Television Production Company. It is an independent subsidiary of DreamWorks, but the relationship is not that deep. In doing so, the main thing is to borrow DreamWorksĄŻ existing territory and reputation. Anyway, the most important value of this company is not in these actual industries, but in those programs. Spending another sum of money to buy another place is not cost-effective for Li Mingbao. ItĄŻs clear that itĄŻs a company for sale, so why do it act like itĄŻs the same thing? If house prices in the United States will go up like crazy in two or three years, or if other industries or something like that will go up like crazy, Li Mingbao wouldn't mind making a fortune on it. "It is a pity that the situation in the United States, especially in the prices of related industries, has not increased much and there is no profit at all. In this case, Li Mingbao will not waste this money and lock his own funds in external industries. When cooperating with 20th Century Fox on this project, what Li Mingbao really needs to do is actually quite simple, which is to find out the complete content of the program and then hand it over to the producers there. He didn't need to participate much in the specific content. At most, his lawyer would follow up so that Li Mingbao wouldn't suffer from some minor traps. The first program that Li Mingbao will do is naturally the Millionaire program that he showed to John before. If you want to make yourself famous, this program is a very good stepping stone. It can attract all the viewers who watch Twentieth Century Fox TV programs as quickly as possible. And it can cause a lot of interaction. To be honest, in this day and age, TV stationsĄŻ programs are not very advanced in terms of creativity. The most important aspect is the interaction between the TV station and the audience. It is not very eye-catching, even in most TV stations. , the interactivity of the program is very weak. At most, I can show more in TV series. And this performance is usually in the plot. If the ratings drop, the program will be cut off, which is quite rough. And let all TV stations care about the audience interacting with this node, still have to go to the old friends. In this TV series, the TV station interacts with the content of the show, which is relatively mature. On Friends, they no longer just cut off the TV series immediately and replace it with new TV series due to declining ratings, but based on the audience's feedback, they appropriately add or delete certain things that everyone likes or dislikes. What to watch. And by doing so, the TV station made a lot of money. Originally, the cost of investment for a TV series from launch to completion was not a small amount. Simply because of the ratings of the TV series, the program was brutally cut off. Or extension, whether it is for TV series or entertainment programs, is not an act in line with capital. In the TV series Friends, the producers, or the TV station, have implemented innovations. They do not decide the direction of the program based on the ratings of certain individuals, but make changes to the program based on changes in the audience. , does not directly kill the program because of low ratings in certain periods, but determines the direction of the TV series through audience feedback. Just such a change turned Friends into a long-lasting TV series that has been broadcast for many years. In terms of cost, ?It schedules the production of TV series, and also allows TV viewers to increase their stickiness to the TV station infinitely because of a TV series. ??That is, starting from Friends, TV and TV series around the world have begun to develop programs that can last for a long time, which not only saves costs, but also increases user stickiness, which is a good thing for TV stations and capitalists. Of course, there are not many TV dramas that can truly achieve long-lasting success. After all, most of the programs have inherent problems and are not programs that can be put down for many years. No matter how good they are, they canĄŻt It wonĄŻt last long. This is not something that can be changed based on the will of the audience. There are also some programs with congenitally chaotic writers, whose ratings are not very good in the first place. It is simply a joke to want them to have longevity. ItĄŻs not that there is only one TV series with a truly long life: Friends. Before Friends, Japanese and Korean TV series also had programs that were very long and even broadcast for decades. ItĄŻs just that this type of program was famous in the country before. , after leaving certain places, the influence is almost non-existent. It was only after Friends that such programs were promoted worldwide, and TV stations began to focus on this type of programs. For the current Li Mingbao, the issue of interactivity, the performance in TV series, the highest achievement is just like that. If you want to keep going without an end, it is basically difficult. It is a very simple truth. No matter what the content of the TV series is, Excellence must be driven by actors. Actors are the key to the longevity of a TV series. If several actors in a row have an accident and die at the same time, then the TV series, no matter how good it is, will not be able to continue, because the audience is watching those actors. You There are no actors left, and the audience is still watching. Therefore, the interaction in TV dramas has great limitations, and the risks are also high, especially the risks for actors. Later, those TV stations also understood this risk, so they continued to introduce new characters in subsequent TV dramas. , and then there are constant key roles that are retained. This is done to prevent the show from being completely unplayable because of one or two main performances. If there is really a problem with the main performance, then let the leading actor become a supporting role, and then the supporting role becomes the protagonist, so that the story can continue to be written without affecting the entire movie. But no matter what, the interaction in TV series has such flaws, and the inherent problems cannot be changed at all. And entertainment programs like Millionaire are much easier than TV dramas. As long as the audience is dissatisfied with the host, it doesn't matter if they change it. As long as there is profit, changing the host every episode is not a big deal. Son. Anyway, the core of variety shows is not the host, but the creativity of the programs, so the risk is much smaller than that of TV dramas. The real difficulty of the show Millionaire is not in other issues, but in the question bank. After all, when Li Mingbao and John started this show, they didnĄŻt really want to have a millionaire appear in every episode. Then the show would still make a damn amount of money? "Millionaire" is actually a slogan. In fact, there are millionaires in every issue, so millionaires in the United States are a little too cheap. It doesn't do the program any good. DidnĄŻt you see that even when this program is being held all over the world, there are very few people who actually pass the level? Most of them just get some consolation prizes, tens of thousands, ten, or twenty thousand dollars, for every program In terms of cost, it's not a big deal. So the real connotation of Millionaire lies in the question bank. Other things are just external gadgets, and the core is the question bank. And this question bank cannot be made too difficult, because it is too difficult. Maybe everyone will find it very novel at first, but after a long time, everyone will not be interested in such things. After all, even a fool understands that if it is really necessary It is simply impossible to get that much money. Even as a professional scientist, you cannot know too much. Especially at the current stage of social development, even under a large framework, there are countless sub-categories. Even great talents cannot master all trades. Moreover, the question bank is too difficult and high-end, which will lose the participation of a large part of the people from the beginning, because they know very well that it is quite difficult for them to answer any of those questions, and they want to answer fifteen consecutive questions in the shortest time. Coming out is no less than asking them to memorize scriptures. This is a complete provocation to the intelligence of the broad masses of people. And the people who watch the program, the largest group, are just such a group of people. If they do this, they can kill people directly. Who can They are not willing to go up to seek abuse, and their popularity will naturally disappear. Therefore, this question bank must be very simple, quite simple, even most people can know it, and all the questions must be the simplest and most basic ones. AndIn this way, it will be easy for people to fill up the question bank with answers. Therefore, there must be a balance between simplicity and difficulty. How to balance it is the real key to the success of this program. Li Mingbao naturally has a very clear idea about the exterior decoration of the show, so he doesnĄŻt worry too much about this. He can just draw the sketches and the people below will take care of it.
