Chapter 91 Change the program?
Luo Mingjie has been entangled in the matter of funds recently. It's not that he is asking for a high price, but mainly because of the cost.

Although the ratings of the first season of "The Best Debater" were not high, and the sponsors lost some money (the desired publicity effect was not achieved), Luo Mingjie couldn't really lower the price, after all, he had to consider the cost, money If it is not enough, should the whole company go to drink Northwest Wind?

Of course, due to the nature of the program, the production budget of "Best Debater" is much lower than other variety shows.

For example, for certain variety shows that have sold hundreds of millions of dollars in naming fees, they either have to spend a lot of money on venues and audio equipment, or they have to spend a lot of money to invite big-name guests. Which one doesn’t burn money?Many popular variety shows are made with money, and the sky-high naming fees are reasonable.

Relatively speaking, as a debate program, "Best Debater" doesn't need particularly good venues and equipment, and it doesn't need to invite some big-name guests. Of course, they can't afford it.

Those who participated in "Best Debater" are people who love to debate. Many of them have participated in debate competitions and won awards. These people are not variety stars. They usually have their own serious jobs. I don't plan to take much money, so the cost of this piece is relatively easy to control.

But no matter what, Luo Mingjie's psychological bottom line is 500 million. If it is less than this amount, he is really using love to generate electricity.

He had been struggling before because none of the sponsors could give him the money, but now hearing what Zhong Ming said, it seemed like a solution?

Four sponsors together?They are not named, but called "super sponsors". In this way, each company will pay 200 million, and the four will be 800 million, which easily meets Luo Mingjie's psychological expectations.

The only question is... can the other three agree?
Luo Mingjie thought for a while, no matter whether he agreed or not, he could only try this way, the time was running out.

"Okay, then I'll hurry up and get in touch with the other three sponsors when I go back, and try to make a decision as soon as possible. But I can't guarantee whether they will agree. After all, the name 'super sponsor' sounds good, but it has nothing to do with 'title sponsorship'." It’s a lot worse, and I don’t know if they will pay for it.”

Zhong Ming saw that Luo Mingjie was a little moved, and felt that there was something to be said about it.

Zhong Ming was mainly afraid that Luo Mingjie would be a more conceited person and would not accept his layman's suggestion. Now it seems that he is a person who is easier to communicate with.

It can be roughly seen that Luo Mingjie also lacks confidence in this show and is struggling. If he is in a state of blind confidence, it will be difficult.

"I think the other three companies probably lack confidence in the program "Best Debater", so they don't want to pay more?" Zhong Ming asked.

Luo Mingjie sighed softly: "Oh, yes. It can be seen that you are also a smart person, and you really want to sponsor our program, so I will not hide it. The performance of the first season of "The Best Debater" is indeed It’s very bad. Now many sponsors are talking about this. They all want to lower the price and have a kind of charity mentality. I also begged my grandpa to sue my grandma. I can’t help it. The reason why the debaters of this show want to stick to the second season is because of their love for debate."

"So, you are worried about whether you can persuade the other three sponsors to adopt this form of sponsorship. In the final analysis, it is because you are not confident in this program." Zhong Ming said.

Luo Mingjie was very helpless: "Of course I'm not confident. To be honest, I also know that debates are naturally separated from the lives of ordinary people. We engage in debates and think hard about how to output as much as possible within a limited time. Opinions, the debate is full of all kinds of logical confrontation, which is very brain-intensive. Many people watch our program, and the most common barrage is: "I said a lot of shit, don't watch it." They can't accept this high density information output."

"Of course, I'm not complaining. After all, most people come home from get off work to watch a variety show just to have fun. Who wants to use their brains. So I also know that our show is off-track, and it won't be popular. We negotiated with sponsors The time was truly hopeless."

It can be seen that Luo Mingjie is also in a lot of torment. It stands to reason that he shouldn't have said these things to Zhong Ming. It may be because what Zhong Ming said today touched his pain point and made him feel like he met a bosom friend.

He is the producer of the show, so he can't vomit these bitterness to the staff, the guests of the show, let alone the audience, it's very uncomfortable to hold it all in his stomach.

"I shouldn't say these things. I'm sorry, but I can't help it. Don't worry, if you are willing to sponsor us, I will definitely try my best to make the show better, at least keep the die-hard fans, so that your sponsorship fee will definitely not be too high." White flowers."

Luo Mingjie also realized that what he said was inappropriate, so he hurried back, hoping that Zhong Ming would not lose confidence in this program.

Zhong Ming didn't care either: "Boss Luo, I think you can completely convince the other three sponsors, but the premise is that you have to make some changes to the program."

Luo Mingjie was taken aback, change the program?
He resisted instinctively. Before the sponsorship is finalized, he has already started to dictate to the show?
Although the performance of the variety show "Best Debater" is not good, Luo Mingjie is a professional after all. He has his own ideas about the show itself. I'm a little bit reluctant to say that I want to change it.

But after all, the conversation was pretty good before, so Luo Mingjie didn't want to refuse directly, so he just planned to listen to it casually, and if it didn't make sense, he just let it go, and just didn't change it.

Zhong Ming could see his displeasure, but he still had to say what he had to say.

"It's okay to debate as a variety show, but there is a problem with the idea of ​​"The Best Debater", which is too ungrounded. If the debate program is incomprehensible to most viewers, it is equivalent to losing the most exciting part. How can the ratings increase? Mr. Luo, what are the hottest variety shows you are talking about, such as "Virtual Idol Cultivation Plan", where are they so popular?"

"Where is the fire?" Luo Mingjie thought for a while, "It has characteristics, is recognizable, and is topical."

Zhong Ming nodded: "Yes, it's topical! You can see that every issue of "Virtual Idol Cultivation Plan" can be popularly searched. What did this virtual idol do today, and tomorrow that virtual idol released a new song? It triggers a wide range of discussions, as long as the audience discusses it, there will definitely be heat and traffic, and more people will be attracted to watch it, and the show will become popular."

Luo Mingjie smiled wryly: "Yes, I know that too, but we don't have many handsome men and beautiful women in the debate. Even if there are good-looking ones, they can't compare with those idols and stars."

"Mr. Luo, you are bound by your habitual thinking." Zhong Ming said, "I mean, the point is to be topical. You don't have to be handsome or beautiful to make topical. Knowledge and eloquence are also attractive in themselves. What's more, the topic of the debate itself is very topical, as long as the audience can understand it and listen to it, do you still worry about them not discussing it?"
