American Idol, Ameri.idol.

Watching Zhou Ming write these two words on the blackboard, although Zhou Ming has not started to explain it yet, Bessman keenly felt the charm hidden behind these two words with his more than ten years of production career.

But Zhou Ming is worth writing these two words: "What I want to say next is very simple, I hope everyone can hear it clearly. This is a talent show. It does not matter whether it is skin color, race, age or gender. As long as you feel that you have idol talent, as long as you have a star dream, you can participate, and as long as you get the title, you can get a million dollar prize and promotion opportunities with Columbus TV."

After listening to Zhou Ming's brief introduction, Bessman stood up in anger and his expression was very excited, because this show has so much potential. You should know who doesn't have a star dream? Look at the extras who work hard in Hollywood. From teenagers to 60 or 70 years old, aren't this all dreams of becoming a star one day? It can be seen that this wish is universal.

And another more important point is what Zhou Ming said, "No matter whether the skin color or gender," God, can God have more conditions that meet American political correctness than this?

So Besman said excitedly: "This is really a genius idea. I have a premonition that this show will be popular all over the United States!"

In fact, it doesn’t take Besman to say that Zhou Ming also knew that American Idol became the ratings guarantee of Fox TV as soon as it was broadcast in 2002.

Zhou Ming followed Besman's words and said: "And more importantly, this draft model is not complicated, and it only takes a very small production team to complete it."

The fact is true. The British pop idol, the founder of talent shows around the world, was developed by a ruined TV station to reverse its poor management situation. Because the British TV station was in a very bad situation at that time, it was a ratings miracle under the bed of a small team. Later, the next year, Fox TV bought the copyright of the pop idol and remake the American idol.

Later, as talent shows became more and more popular, many small TV stations imitated and held talent shows in order to increase their ratings. These successive talent shows proved that this was a low-cost and high-reward project.

"This is the program planning that suits my team the most!"

Besman said excitedly, but he also found the problem: "Although I know that this kind of talent show will definitely be popular, it seems that there is still a lack of a means to quickly open the situation. If the quality of the show itself is solely dependent on the quality of the show, I am worried that it will be cut off by the TV station because of the slow heat of the show."

As a veteran producer, Zhou Ming wanted to applaud Besman, but he suddenly discovered the key to the problem.

Zhou Ming told Besman: "This is the key to the show. More than 90% of our budget will be spent here, which is to select judges and mentors for the show."

Besman immediately followed Zhou Ming's thinking rhythm: "Sir, do you mean we need to invite the most popular stars nowadays?"

Zhou Ming nodded: "My idea is to invite one or two top stars to come over, and then use it to control the scene with a senior music professor or a host who has a certain understanding of pop culture."

Besman quickly thought about it in his mind: "There is no problem for the music professor and the host, even Caroline is fine. She has done an internship on Broadway before and has a lot of experience in pop culture; and I have known a lot of people because of some of the previous programs.

It’s not difficult for relevant musicians to invite them to the show.”

When Besman said this, he suddenly got stuck: "It's just... this top star, I wonder what you think sir?"

"If possible, I would like to invite Jackson and Madonna." Zhou Ming gave the answer.

Despite his preparation, the moment Besman heard the answer, he felt that his heart still stopped for a moment, and then said in a heavy tone: "Sir, if it were these two, I'm afraid their appearance fee would be very high."

Zhou Ming certainly knows this. Both of them are inducted into the Hall of Fame. Jackson's mechanical dance and too horror, and Madonna's rock can be said to be the benchmarks of popular culture in the United States today. For such a person, there is no need to think that the appearance fee is definitely an astronomical number.

Zhou Ming waved to let Besman come to him. Zhou Mingyu said to him earnestly: "You are the producer and director of this show, so this matter should be left to you to complete!"

Zhou Ming said and patted Besman on the shoulder hard: "But Besman, you don't need to be under too much pressure, because except for the first day of the audition, Jackson and Madonna do not have to play. Arrange other appearances are relatively cheap, but they also have a certain popularity as stars. Even Jackson and Madonna can only come in the rematch, and only they must be present in the finals."

Besman breathed a sigh of relief: "Thank you sir, if this happens, I will have some room for operation."

Originally, there were thousands of auditions, and the quality must be uneven. Even if Zhou Ming was willing to pay the money to let Jackson and Madonna sit on the judges, these two big names may not be willing to continue working together. That would be a torment.

Therefore, instead of being unhappy, it is better to substitute the next step and choose other players with a certain reputation, but the appearance fee is relatively low, and professional music professors should first select potential contestants.

"Okay, this matter has been decided so pleasantly. You can make preparations, including planning plans and posters."

Zhou Ming also reminded Besman and others: "However, given that the program does not have any technical difficulty besides creativity and is very easy to be plagiarized, so I need you to do a confidentiality work before the program comes out."

In this regard, Besman and the others were very firmly assured Zhou Ming that they would never tell anyone if they were beaten to death.

Of course they were very determined. Their team had been in a state of decline for several years and was filled with anger. Now Zhou Ming has been guiding them through the boats. If they try their best to catch them, there will be a ghost.

After discussing, Zhou Ming asked Besman and the others to prepare. Before leaving the conference room, Zhou Ming looked back at the blackboard, thought about it and picked up the blackboard eraser and wiped off the words on it, and then left.

Shortly after Zhou Ming and the others left, Shalin pushed the door and walked into the conference room. She looked at the blackboard that had been wiped off. She stepped forward and sprayed something on the blackboard. Then the word Ameri.idol appeared on the blackboard. Shalin frowned, but she still reported the matter to her boss truthfully, and Essek also told Piero the news.

"American Idol? Is this only one message?"

Piero put down the phone helplessly. He repeatedly wrote the word on the paper at hand, but he still couldn't understand what this American idol meant.

In fact, it's not just Piero,

Even Piero took it to ask Beya later, but he didn't know what kind of program Zhou Ming planned. Piero had no choice but to wait until the program came out before he could find out.

Although Essec promised to help Piero find a way to inquire, after all, he didn't want a program on the stage that he could not control, Piero did not have any hope for it. After all, Zhou Ming knew that he was hiding in the conference room, so he naturally wouldn't disclose the news so easily.

This is true. Later, Essec asked Besman to talk to others in private, and wanted to get some news, but everyone was kept silent.

Just kidding, Essek neglected them for several years, causing them to be ridiculed and humiliated. Although they were not fired, they felt that they would come in kneeling every time they entered the TV station. They also understood that they were still on the TV station, and they also saw that they were still on the TV station for the sake of breakdancing across the United States. Now Zhou Ming has given them a chance to rise again. They even thought about it and knew what they should choose.

On the other hand, after Zhou Ming ended the meeting with Besman, he immediately contacted Caitlin.

Zhou Ming told Caitlin that he had already confirmed the program and production team here: "It's the Besman who I told you before. Because of the special nature of the program, they don't need to have too strong professional skills, and their loyalty is certain. Besman is also a very powerful TV producer. No wonder the Breakdancing program in the United States can be so popular."

Zhou Ming then also put forward his own request: "But in my opinion, this show has the lowest requirements, but in order to open up the situation as soon as possible, I plan to invite Jackson and Madonna to come, which may increase a large amount of budget."

Caitlin pondered for a moment: "This is what it should be. With the popularity of Jackson and Madonna, even if it is just the most ordinary conversation program, it can still have ratings. As for the budget... we can ask sponsors to share the part. If we are sure to invite it, there will be many companies willing."

Zhou Ming smiled bitterly: "It just will affect the promotion of Amazon."

Indeed, if Zhou Ming just simply wanted to plan a program and simply wanted to enhance his influence in the media, then Caitlin's plan was undoubtedly the best.

As long as you can invite Jackson and Madonna to come, no matter how much they offer, and if they are famous, there will definitely be many companies willing to pay for it. But the problem is that Zhou Ming’s purpose of running this program is not so pure. He also needs to use this program to promote Amazon, and Amazon needs to be the exclusive title.

This makes the situation awkward, because Amazon has not yet been listed and will definitely not be able to pay much money. So other companies that can afford to pay cannot compete for exclusive naming rights. Isn’t this equivalent to letting other companies spend money to be Lei Feng? Anyone who is more rational will not agree!

"It seems that we are the only one who pays the money."

Caitlin expressed her second plan: "We can also ask Amazon to go to a bank loan or issue corporate bonds to raise funds, and then invest in this program. As long as Amazon's market value can increase in the future, the investment will be worth it."

"It's all we can do, let's prepare for this first." Zhou Ming said.

Zhou Ming knew that this was already the solution Caitlin tried his best to think, but Zhou Ming, who was trying his best to solve the funding problem at this time, could not have imagined that Besman gave him a huge surprise.
