In the DreamWorks office building, Li Mingbao was sitting on his boss's chair, and behind him stood Li Mingbao's new personal secretary, Mieko. As a secretary that Li Mingbao admires, Mieko's appearance is naturally quite good. Coupled with the OL clothes designed by Li Mingbao himself, even John, who doesn't appreciate oriental beauty, would look at her from time to time next to Li Mingbao. A glance at Mieko. On the desk, Li Mingbao filled all kinds of information, and then said to John: "The studio or something, do you have any problems with 20th Century Fox?" Hearing Li Mingbao's question, John said naturally: "Of course there is no problem. Don't you still believe in the strength of our company? This initial investment is a bit large, especially since you need a very modern studio, so the money is not small." . And you actually need to use a personal computer to display the question bank and a projector. Isn¡¯t it a bit expensive? In fact, you can use a panel or something. After all, most TV stations now do this. , you actually need to buy a projector and install several computers. Will this expense bring any substantial improvement to the program? " At the end of the sentence, John felt a little sick. Because the program planning given by Li Mingbao was very good. Even John couldn't find any shortcomings after watching it. But the problem is that such good quality is based on large-scale investment. Just such a studio , their investment is in the millions, and it¡¯s still US dollars. It would be very painful for them, Twentieth Century Fox, to share it. Although it is a one-time investment that will be used for a long time, this one-time investment is even higher than the cost of filming a TV series. ??Especially before the program is profitable, such an investment is really heartbreaking. So John really doesn¡¯t understand what Li Mingbao thinks about this issue, because in his opinion, investment does not require so much money to achieve results. The external environment, for this program, is actually It doesn't have much use. The real core is still the dream of getting rich. With this thing, even if the decoration is simple, it doesn't matter at all. "John, regarding this issue, I can tell you clearly that in fact, I am not satisfied with the current decoration. The main reason is that the technology cannot keep up. Otherwise, even if it costs tens of millions of dollars, I will not blink an eye. You have to know, what is the name of our program? If the external packaging environment is very poor, wouldn¡¯t it make people think that our program is not high-quality? You can make an ordinary person become a millionaire? I am a millionaire, but my decoration is in tatters. Doesn¡¯t it look quite unconvincing? To put it bluntly, the real core of this show is that there is no shortage of money. How can we let the contestants know that we are fully capable of paying? Capability? This outer packaging is an important part. If we omit the outer packaging, how can we win people's trust? Therefore, we must follow the most top-notch decoration and include some very high-end decoration. In short, we want everyone to understand that our program is not short of money. Even during the production of the program, we have to get one million US dollars in cash on site. There, let everyone know that as long as he can answer our questions correctly, then the one million US dollars in cash can be packed away directly. When we do this show, we must not give checks to the contestants. After all, although checks are the same. Cash is the same, but the ability to attract attention, cash is much more effective than a check. Such an arrangement will not only make the contestants at the scene jealous, but also make everyone watching our TV program jealous. Just these alone Cash can support part of the ratings. After all, ordinary people are different from us. It is difficult for them to have the opportunity to see so much money at once. If they want to see so much money, they must watch our programs. . Think about the pile of one million dollars in cash. Doesn¡¯t it feel like going to Las Vegas? Ordinary people don¡¯t have such an opportunity to spend a lot of money. Now, our program can satisfy their needs. As long as they can answer fifteen questions, one million dollars will be his. This is equivalent to a person with no capital, but he can gamble so much money through his knowledge. It is completely useless. Who wouldn't be tempted by Ben's deal?" Li Mingbao said with a smile. Li Mingbao's description made John a little excited. He imagined that he was a contestant, with bright money right in front of his eyes, but he could bet without spending a penny and gamble entirely with knowledge. If he lost, he would not lose anything. If you win, it's one million. Even if you don't win one million, three to five thousand dollars is not a small amount for today's Americans. You can at least buy a second-hand car. For all the contestants, this kind of program is completelyThere is no reason for this business to be unattractive. There is no price for losing, but there is money to be gained when you win. But John's mind soon sobered up. After all, he was not an ordinary person. Although one million dollars was a lot, it did not affect the performance of his brain. Therefore, although John agreed with the things Li Mingbao proposed, he still had a doubt. . "Doing this can indeed mobilize everyone's enthusiasm, but there is one problem that I wonder if you have considered, Mr. Li. That is, doing this can easily lead to some critical remarks, saying that we use cash to seduce people, which is unfair. Violation of human rights. Although we don't care much about such remarks, it is still somewhat troublesome. It doesn't have much impact on individuals, but it will always have a negative impact on a program. It's a bit troublesome." Hearing John's concerns, Li Mingbao replied disdainfully: "Can this be considered a negative impact? To solve this problem, it is actually quite simple. We can just use our hands and feet to talk about knowledge. It is wealth. Knowledge changes life. In line with the theme of this program, it can be turned into a positive discussion and use cash to stimulate everyone's attention to knowledge. This is completely a compliment to knowledge. Maybe major schools will give it to us. How can there be trouble if you sing a hymn? "If you are in the reserved East, doing so may indeed cause some unnecessary trouble. After all, in Chinese culture, there is a saying that you will not give up for five buckets of rice, so just throw money at it. For intellectuals, the effect may not be very good. But for the Western world, it is basically a matter of interest. Who learns knowledge not to make money? Therefore, there is no market for such remarks at all. A program like Millionaire is completely in line with the Western worldview and will not cause any trouble at all. Otherwise, how could such a program be popular in the Western world and become an immediate hit? If a small TV station engages in such a big-money project, then maybe those capitalists will use the media to suppress such programs in order to get a share of the pie. But now it is 20th Century Fox that launches this program, and in the future it will be News Corporation, and Such media groups deal with public opinion. As long as they are not stupid, they will know what the consequences will be. Therefore, even if the show is made a little more explicit, Li Mingbao doesn't mind at all. After all, it is not him who is doing the show now, but a huge interest group. There is no reason why everyone would not protect Jinshan like this. With Li Mingbao, John is completely relieved about this program. No matter where you look at it, this kind of program has no risk of being popular. If you want to make more money, it doesn't matter if you increase your investment. If you make it high-end, everyone will immediately understand that this program has connotations. On the contrary, it can make everyone Peace of mind. Seeing John nodding in agreement with his statement, Li Mingbao said again: "These external things are actually not difficult for us at all. The key lies in the connotation of this program, those databases, you How's it going? My connections in the United States are not very good at doing these things, but it shouldn't be a big problem for you to do this, right? " "The problem is not that big. The main thing is the idea of ??this question bank. You said before that this question bank should not be too difficult. The standard is that all questions can be answered by ordinary people, and questions that only professionals can answer are completely eliminated. In this way, the questions will be easy to answer. It's easy to do, but the key is that too simple questions will greatly increase the pass rate. If there is a millionaire in every issue, won't we lose money?" John complained to Li Mingbao. arrive. "A simple question does not mean that it is really simple. We can create great obstacles in the choice and use similar options to confuse the correct answer. And our questions must cover a wide range, regardless of Whether it is astronomy, geography, or culture, mathematics, each question must cover a wide range of topics. Although they are all basic questions, it is impossible for ordinary people to answer them unless they have the most extensive knowledge. Come up. But for those viewers, they will not know the pitfalls. Some multiple-choice questions that are well known to the public will give them the illusion that even ordinary people like them can answer a few questions correctly. As long as we can achieve this goal, we will succeed. We don¡¯t use difficult questions to test the contestants, but we use a vast sea of ??questions to torture them, hoping to answer all the questions in the shortest time. There are not many such people in the world, so the huge increase in clearance rate you think is simply impossible. In ancient times, when there were not many knowledge points, there might be many knowledgeable people. , but now, who dares to say that he is very knowledgeable? Anyone who can thoroughly study a certain aspect or point can be regarded as an out-and-out great scientist.Under such circumstances, the amount of personal knowledge is inconspicuous under teamwork. John, how many people in the world do you think can use one person's knowledge to challenge dozens of professional artificial question banks in different fields? "Li Mingbao is really not optimistic about the challengers of this type of program. The big boss had produced a similar program back then, and after getting to know the program in depth, he looked sympathetically at the challengers.
