Chapter 201: Selecting a host

Li Qi is still very confident. As long as a few links are hyped up, it will be easy to get a viewership of over 3%.

In an age where ratings are king, if it breaks 3, the advertising revenue alone will be enough for Blueberry TV to recoup 100 million.

Otherwise, they will make a loss? Come on, no one is stupid these days.

After talking about the ratings for a while, Li Qi took the initiative to ask:”Regarding the selection of hosts, does Blueberry TV have any recommendations? I have already mentioned the requirements.”

Hu Minghua looked at Wang Manting. It seemed that this problem was handed over to her.

“Director, Director Li, and the host, we have conducted a preliminary audition internally, and the final decision will be left to you two.”

Li Qi nodded slightly:”Why don’t we do a simple interview before dinner?” Hu Tai also followed to check”

“I have something else to do later, so I’ll ask Deputy Director Wu Haixiong to come over, and let Haixiong and Director Li decide everything.”

Wang Manting understood their intentions, bowed and left, and went down to arrange the interview process.

Because it was a hasty decision, it couldn’t be too formal. We just called people up to have a chat.

Prior to this, Wang Manting had someone send the information of the two candidates, but what made Li Qi frown was that Meng Guangtou was not included in the information.

He had asked someone before, and found out that Meng Guangtou was 80% similar to the Meng Guangtou in his previous life. He should be at the TV station now.

This situation gave him a headache. He had originally wanted to select Meng Guangtou through legitimate means, but now it seemed he had to go through the backdoor.

At this time, Hu Minghua had already returned to the director’s office, and Wu Haixiong had also come over to say hello. As for the private transaction between the two of them, Li Qi would not pay attention to it.

After pretending to read the information, he turned around and asked Wu Haixiong:”Mr. Wu, have you read the information?”

Wu Haixiong nodded slightly:”Director Wang has reported that these two are the backbone of the station. Is Director Li satisfied?”

Li Qi understood that it was not that there was no Meng Guangtou, but that Meng Guangtou was on the wrong team, or had not yet chosen a team.

After all, it is a program with an investment of over 100 million yuan. There will inevitably be a struggle for power within Blueberry TV. Such a huge resource will naturally not fall on Lao Meng’s bald head.

“Wu Tai, there are no outsiders here, so I will speak frankly.”

Upon hearing what Li Qi said, Wu Haixiong adjusted his sitting posture and said seriously:”Is there a problem with the selection?”

Li Qi nodded:”(cbdh) These two are too young!”

Wu Haixiong was stunned for a moment:”I don’t understand?”

Li Qi pointed at the planning document placed aside:”Have you forgotten the target audience of our program?”

“Uh… middle-aged or elderly?”

“Yes, the host of this program must be wise enough, and this wisdom is reflected in many aspects, and age is indispensable.

In the minds of middle-aged and elderly people, the other side of wisdom is maturity.

As for young people in their twenties, their first reaction is that they are good at talking but not reliable in doing things.

To put it bluntly, choosing these two as hosts will not generate a sense of trust for middle-aged and elderly people, especially middle-aged and elderly women.

In this case, they will not believe the host’s words, including his analysis and suggestions in the program, so it is difficult to retain the audience.

”

Li Qi’s words shocked Wu Haixiong. Before coming here, Wu Haixiong knew about Li Qi’s suggestion for the host candidate, but he didn’t take it seriously at all.

In his opinion, anyone can be a host as long as they have good professional skills.

So they naturally narrowed down the candidates to their own people, and didn’t do any internal auditions at all.

It’s not that no one recommended it, but he blocked it.

For a program with such a large investment, the benefits must be shared with the people.

But when Li Qi analyzed it now, he broke out in a cold sweat. Yes, he forgot the target group.

If the target is young people, these two can certainly

But for middle-aged and elderly women, elegance, maturity and wisdom are the image of the male god in their hearts.

Then, through some reasonable analysis and philosophical discourse, we can gain the recognition of this group of audiences.

It’s not that he didn’t know these principles, but he just thought of them now.

Seeing Wu Haixiong’s expression change, Li Qi’s heart fell back. Not bad, he must have been persuaded. (To read the exciting novels, go to Feilu Novel Network!)

At this time, Wang Manting came in with a smile on her face and two people, who were the two people listed in the information.

As a result, before they could even enter the door, they heard Wu Haixiong yelling,”Get out!”

The three of them were stunned. What was going on? The atmosphere was a bit awkward!

Wang Manting called out weakly:”Wu Tai?”

Wu Haixiong realized that his tone was wrong, and softened his expression a little:”I want to talk to Director Li about something, you guys go down first!”[]

As the office director and general manager, Wang Manting must obey orders.

There was no need to think too much, so he waved his hand to the two of them and said,”Go down and wait first, I’ll call you if there’s anything.””

The two were really confused. After all, they were hosts on stage and were considered famous. Being ordered around like this, even if the other party was the deputy director, they would not look good.

However, they did not dare to resist and could only withdraw helplessly, and they were very sensible and closed the door of the reception room.

Li Qi was somewhat helpless. He hoped that the two would not blame him after knowing the result. Although he was not afraid

Wang Manting came over and asked tentatively:”Wu Tai, what are we doing?”

Wu Haixiong sighed:”Director Wang, we neglected”

He then repeated Li Qi’s words, and Wang Manting immediately took the responsibility:”Wu Tai, it’s my fault. I didn’t think it through. I should have thought of it earlier.”

Look, what is a good subordinate?

That is, he took the initiative to take responsibility for his leader without anyone noticing, so it makes sense for him to be the chief eunuch.

“Okay, now is not the time to worry about who should be held responsible. Let’s think about how to explain this to Director Li. This was our dereliction of duty!”

Li Qi raised his hand and said,”Taiwanese, this is too serious. Anyway, we haven’t started shooting yet. But we really need to hurry up. I heard from Director Wang that the amateur guests for the first episode are basically in place?”

Wang Manting nodded repeatedly:”There are 24 female guests, 13 of them have arrived so far, and the other half are on the way, and they are expected to arrive tomorrow.”

Li Qi said,”Taking into account the time for on-site renovation and rehearsal, the earliest we can start filming is the day after tomorrow. Before that, we have to decide on the host.”

“Director Wang, go get all the host information from the station and have Director Li screen them personally.”

I don’t know who he is angry with. He didn’t even call Xiao Wang, but directly called Director Wang. It seems that Wu Haixiong is not in a good mood.

Li Qi complained in his heart, but he finally achieved his goal.

Soon, Wang Manting came in with a pile of folders. It looked like there were more than 20 of them. I guess they were all the hosts that Blueberry TV was hiring for.
