After ending the call with Chen Zhan, Xiao Yunhai started to recall the variety shows that he had watched in his previous life.
Xiao Yunhai did not intend to do music shows anymore. The main reason was that there were too many of these types of shows.
In his previous life, "I Am a Singer", which was on par with "The Voice", was a good choice. However, just inviting those celebrities to participate in this kind of competition would make Xiao Yunhai bankrupt.
One must know that the big name singers in this world were very expensive.
Therefore, Xiao Yunhai planned to make a cheap puzzle show, "Millionaire".
This show was planned by the British ITV in his previous life. There were 10 contestants in every episode. They needed to win the right to advance through the competition and then compete for the huge prize money. The contestants who advanced had to answer all 15 multiple-choice questions correctly to win one million.
However, there were two insurance lines in the 15 questions. They were the fifth and tenth questions. If the contestants answered the insurance questions correctly, they would win the prize money of the insurance line. However, if the contestants answered the questions incorrectly, they would only win the prize money of the insurance line that they passed last.
Xiao Yunhai did not want to follow all the rules. Instead, he wanted to do some surgeries on the basis of the rules.
He wanted to increase the difficulty of the questions. In the original show, there were four choices to choose from. Xiao Yunhai planned to change the multiple-choice questions into fill-in-the-blank questions. At the same time, the contestants would only have one chance to ask for help. This way, the difficulty would increase by several times.
The competition for the right to advance had to be among the five contestants. As long as one of them could answer three questions correctly, they would be able to advance. If there was a mistake in the middle, they would be disqualified.
With the difficulty increased, the prize money would naturally be doubled.
Xiao Yunhai planned to increase the highest prize of the show to 10 million. He wanted to change "Millionaire" to "Millionaire". With so much money, he believed that many people would fight to participate.
Thinking of this, Xiao Yunhai started typing on his computer. He finished the proposal in just one hour and sent it to his uncle.
Half an hour later, Chen Zhan called again. The first sentence made Xiao Yunhai roll his eyes.
"You brat, did you already think of this? This is ridiculous. Can't you give me the money in advance so that I can prepare properly? Also, are you crazy? You can get 10 million if you answer 15 questions correctly. Heavens, this is too much. "
Xiao Yunhai smiled and said, "Uncle, do you think it's a good idea?"
Chen Zhan said, "Absolutely. If it were me, I would definitely join in immediately. Haha, that's ten million. I won't be able to earn that much even if I work my entire life. However, Yunhai, I have to remind you that this is ten million. It's not a joke. If two or three people get the final prize, you'll be in for a lot of fun. "
Xiao Yunhai said, "Don't worry. Uncle, as long as we make the later questions more difficult, won't it be fine? Ten million yuan was not that easy to get. However, the topic must be kept a secret. Otherwise, I'll be in trouble. "
Chen Zhan nodded and said, "I understand. I'll come up with the topic. I'll hand it over to the host when it's time to go on stage. "
Xiao Yunhai smiled and said, "I don't care about the other questions, but the last question must be set by me. As usual, all the investments will be on me. Uncle, how much are you going to give me? "
Chen Zhan thought about it and said, "At least 70%. If it's higher, you'll need to discuss it with Lu Zejun. Tomorrow, I'll ask him to sign the contract for 'Ten Million Millionaire'. "
Xiao Yunhai said, "Okay."
The next morning, Li Bing brought the deputy director of Anhui TV Station, Lu Zejun, and two senior executives to Hanhai Film Investment Company from Yanjing International Airport.
As they were Chen Zhan's subordinates, Xiao Yunhai and Zhao Wanqing received them very warmly.
Xiao Yunhai first invited the three to the screening room to watch the film. Lu Zejun randomly picked two episodes. In the 90 minutes, the three of them never stopped laughing.
When they returned to the reception room, Zhao Wanqing asked, "Director Lu, what do you think of this film?"
Lu Zejun said with satisfaction, "It's very good. It's even better than the first season. Miss Zhao, we can talk about the price now. "
Zhao Wanqing smiled and said, "I think before we came, my uncle should have told you that we only want the advertising share, right?"
Lu Zejun said, "That's right. Miss Zhao, what do you think of 50%? "
Zhao Wanqing shook her head and said with a smile, "Director Lu, your price is too insincere. The number of downloads of 'iPartment' on the Internet has now exceeded 50 million. Its audience base is very stable. 'iPartment 2's average ratings should be over 5%. Therefore, 50% of the advertising share is too low. I think 70% is very appropriate. "
Lu Zejun said, "Miss Zhao, if this film was filmed or starred by Mr. Xiao, we would agree to this price without hesitation. After all, with Mr. Xiao's appeal among the audience, 70% is no problem. However, this film is just Mr. Xiao's investment and scriptwriter. 70% is a bit too high. "
Zhao Wanqing said, "For the TV station, the most important thing for a TV series is not who acts in it, but how high the ratings are. For a TV series that's sure to have an average rating of over 5%, does Director Lu think 70% of the advertising share is high? "
Xiao Yunhai, who had been silent all this time, said, "Director Lu, there's no point in us arguing about this issue. How about this, we'll use the final average rating as the standard and sign an VAM contract. What do you think?
Lu Zejun said with a smile, "I heard from Director Chen that Mr. Xiao was able to get to where he is today by gambling all the way. I wonder how this VAM contract is calculated? "
Xiao Yunhai said, "It's very simple. The average rating of 1% corresponds to 10% of the advertising share. "
Lu Zejun frowned and said, "That won't do. There has to be an upper limit. Otherwise, once the ratings exceed 10%, do we have to give you money instead? "
Xiao Yunhai said with a smile, "Let's use 80% as the boundary. Once the average rating exceeds 8%, it'll definitely be a legendary drama. My uncle told me that the most important thing for your TV station now is to make a name for yourself, isn't that right? "
Lu Zejun thought about it and said, "Okay. What's the price of 'Millionaire'? "
Zhao Wanqing said bluntly, "We want 80% of the advertising share. There's no room for negotiation. I've seen this proposal. It's simply too dangerous. It's like playing a money game. If we don't do it well, we'll lose money. "
Lu Zejun nodded and said, "Okay."
Xiao Yunhai saw that Lu Zejun agreed without even thinking. He couldn't help but ask in surprise, "Director Lu, why are you so straightforward this time?"
Lu Zejun said with a smile, "Before I came, Director Chen told me that Mango TV's' The Voice of Hua Xia 'and' Run, Brother 'will give Mr. Xiao 65% of the advertising share. This is also because of him. Anhui TV can't compare to Mango TV. It's already good enough to get 20% of the advertising share. "
Soon, both parties signed the contract.
Xiao Yunhai shook hands with Lu Zejun and said with a smile, "I've booked a private room at a five-star hotel. It's almost time for dinner. Let's go for a drink, how about that?"
Lu Zejun chuckled and said, "Then we'll do as you say. Oh right, my little brat at home gave me a task. He's a big fan of yours. When he heard that I was coming to see you, he didn't say anything and ran out to sell four of your novels and two of your albums. Mr. Xiao, please sign an autograph for him. "
Xiao Yunhai laughed heartily, picked up the brush, and wrote his name on each of them.
