The reborn manotaku

“Freedom of Speech?”

Howard was interested, and the name was very exciting when he heard it, very old and beautiful.

“Lee, tell me what you think.”

Li Huai smiled, picked up a document and read it: “This is a debate program, the United States has a good tradition of debate, the debate leagues of various schools have always been traditional strengths, from the presidential election to the community public welfare, the public’s enthusiasm for debate has not decreased.”

“Now reality shows are all about talent selection, choosing supermodels, and I think organizing a big debate show should have good ratings.”

Howard was a little disappointed after listening to it, “Li, you may not know about this, now almost all current affairs news hot spots, TV stations will have relevant expert debates, I don’t think there will be any good effects, and…”

“And I’m a Chinese, right…”

Li Huai smiled a little playfully.

“Rest assured, this talk show will not involve any political issues, and it is mainly based on views from life.”

For example, in the first issue, our debate can be: If the passion of love gradually disappears, should we divorce? This kind of question is sure to attract a lot of people.

“And many debate competitions are becoming elite only, and we are open to the whole society, whether you are ordinary workers, unemployed vagrants, university professors or foreign students, you can select them.”

“We can have a format that makes a splash like a presidential election, and the winner wins a million-dollar jackpot.”

“Why is the talent show good, because most people like to see ordinary people with extraordinary achievements, and there will be a sense of substitution.”

“Why reality shows are good is because people like to see all kinds of arguments and conflicts.”

“And we will have all of this show!”

Howard on the other end of the phone was breathing heavily, and after working in entertainment media all his life, he had naturally seen the money scene.

“Lee, I hope to get half the rights to this show.”

“Of course…”

Li Huai smiled, “I have commissioned someone to register a global patent, and I believe that organizing with the power of Warner, maybe it will be the next talent show.”

After ending the call, Li Huai came to the floor-to-ceiling glass window with coffee, watching the municipal workers below busy sweeping the snow.

Many teasing car owners pile the thick snow on the roof of their cars into snowmen and make them look like ghosts.

Although traffic control was carried out, all buses and subways were suspended, but many pedestrians still struggled to navigate the cleared road…

Doing this variety show is pure bad fun.

In fact, there are both East and West in debate, there were hundreds of schools of thought in ancient China, and there was a parliamentary system in the West.

In the past, it was a collision of ideas, but now it has gradually become a way of exercising thinking and eloquence, and as for opinions, it is not really important.

Just like Britain, a municipal project can drag on for half a year, and the masters of debate from all sides come and go, in fact, they are all for the political party behind it, because they need to oppose it.

But Li Huai found an interesting phenomenon: the

vast majority of ordinary people have no judgment at all, or think that they have independent thoughts, and are easily influenced by debaters, thinking that the other party’s arguments are the truth.

Modern society, especially influenced by the Internet, is easy to make people feel that everyone is drunk and awake, coupled with the general feeling of good self-esteem of the American imperialist people.

This show is sure to be very lively!

Thinking of this, Li Huai laughed happily…

……

Li Huai stayed in the hotel for two days, and when he arrived at the CW building, he found that it was already in full swing.

The CW invited the best behind-the-scenes personnel and program planners, and when the heavily hired lawyers came to sign various agreements with them, Li Huaicai came up with his own full set of plans.

The program planning was discussed for a whole week, and the plan was revised many times.

Li Huai only put forward ideas, after all, he does not have a deep understanding of the US imperialist society, and these senior media people are all human spirits, and they are richer than one in terms of provoking the hearts of the audience.

No script for reality TV?

That’s, how to play without a script, how to attract the audience without a topic.

At the end of the discussion, the top management of the CW was a little excited, and everyone thought that this show would have good topicality and ratings.

As for whether it will trigger a bad social effect and trigger mainstream media complaints?

Those who are engaged in entertainment know the “female head music” effect, and everyone knows it…

Howard was very satisfied, “Li, what is your new drama project, with this show as the foundation, you can do some artistic experiments…” ”

NONONO…”

LI HUAI’S FACE WAS SINCERE, “CW’S RATINGS ARE ALWAYS AT THE BOTTOM OF THE RANKINGS, AND AS A COLLABORATOR, I WILL NOT TAKE YOUR TOLERANCE AS MY OWN WILLFULNESS.” It is necessary to resolutely focus on the tastes of young people.

“After doing some research, I found that young people are generally very interested in famous brands, fashion and high society life. So I planned to make a related drama called “Gossip Girl”.

“This drama must choose the most handsome guys and beautiful women, live in houses on the Upper East Side, get in and out of luxury cars, and participate in the coolest parties.”

“What yachts, private clubs, private horse farms, everything that should be there…”

“You must have an aristocratic style to do things, you have to open your mouth to be tens of thousands of dollars to spill out, even the supporting characters must be rich families, if you are a middle class, you are embarrassed to play with the protagonist.” Everyone’s relationship needs to be chaotic and full of love triangles anytime, anywhere.

“You guys don’t think this kind of drama is attractive? Don’t feel vain, you have to study the psychology of young people…”

“Therefore, the spirit of this drama is: do not seek much good, but seek the most expensive and bloody!”

Li Huai really plans to do the “Gossip Girl” project, after all, the ratings of this drama are placed there, and his first consideration now is the survival of the company.

However, what he said just now was purely temporary nonsense, and he had already begun to regret it after saying it, after all, there were many professionals present, even Woody. One of Allen’s literary film collaborators is also there.

Such a blatant commercial advocacy will not cause them to resent, right?

Although Li Huai was calm on the surface, he was actually a little apprehensive in his heart.

There was a silence below. Snap…

Howard applauded first, and then others began to echo, and the applause soon followed.

Someone exclaimed, “This idea is great!”

Li Huai smiled and nodded reservedly.

Well, reality is sometimes far more absurd than stories…

……

After the events in New York, it was the end of February.

In the end, Xinghai reached an agreement with the CW to invest in the creativity and part of the production costs of “Free Speech” and “Gossip Girl” to obtain advertising sharing rights, and there was a large share in the subsequent DVD and copyright operations.

Of course, it is the CW that occupies the lion’s share.

After all, in other people’s land, Li Huai does not think that he has the ability to organize such a large project, and the screenwriting rights of “Gossip Girl” are also handed over to the CW.

His ancestors were at most landowners, who knew what the daily life of upper-class students on Manhattan’s Upper East Side was like.

The screenwriters of the screenwriting team are also quite interesting, and they specially did some research.

Li Huai looked at it and found that his parents on Manhattan’s Upper East Side were just as anxious as their parents in Beijing’s HD district.

In addition to their busy schoolwork, various piano, etiquette, and social practices also occupy most of their time.

Where is this?

Viewers simply don’t want to see this, or the Kardashians’ show wouldn’t be so popular.

So the screenwriting team totaled, completely downplayed these, focused on describing all kinds of gossip and love, and thoroughly implemented Li Huai’s concept of dramas…

……

Back in Los Angeles, Eric has already produced “Evil Force” to the ninth episode, and Li Huai is very satisfied after watching the finished film.

In addition to working with Eric on the script for the third season, he no longer stays on the crew all day, but goes every two or three days.

No way, the awards season has come to an end, various dinner parties are going on almost every day, and as a partner of the CW’s current project, he has also been pulled to meet many people.

Any project needs a hype process, and Freedom of Speech has spread the word from all channels, and it has begun to send people to schools to find debaters with a strong sense of topic.

Li Huai also introduced Rashad, a black talk show actress he met that night, and how far he could go depended on the creation of this single mother.

……

Los Angeles, San Marinois. “Mr. Li, this villa is

priced at $15 million, as a Los Angeles Chinese rich gathering area, the education configuration here is also very good, I think it has great investment potential…”

In a huge villa with a luxurious swimming pool, the leprechaun held Li Huai’s hand, and the two looked around calmly with sunglasses, unmoved by the Irish real estate agent next to them.

After turning around, Li Huai nodded, “Okay, Mr. Jonathan, we will consider it, and then contact you by phone.”

After going out and separating from the real estate agent, the little two sighed with relief at the same time.

“Why is it so expensive!”

The goblin complained: “Is this real estate agent you are looking for reliable?”

Li Huai was also a little speechless, “Howard introduced, probably really treat me as a rich man, now it’s all investment, the project has not yet been repaid, how can there be so much money.”

“Let’s rent an apartment first…”

The goblin shook his head, “I don’t like it here, it’s better in the country.”

Li Huai also nodded in agreement.

Because considering that I have to work here for a long time, plus I got two Oscar tickets, I called the leprechaun from the country to see the house together.

As a result, this lie can be eye-opening, the Chinese rich are indeed scary, just a kilometer away, someone even built a Suzhou garden-like mansion, simply do not treat money as money.

“By the way…”

The little goblin suddenly said: “Han Han has been arguing with people on the Internet recently.

“It’s none of our business, don’t mix…”

Li Huai shook his head, he knew about it.

The problem is that the literary critic surnamed Bai is from Chunfeng Literature and Art Publishing House, and Guo Xiaosi’s books are all published by them. And the publishing

house founded by Li Bo, who was good for him, and Chunfeng Literature and Art belong to the same publishing group.

Speaking of being in the same camp, even the two sides may have drunk and bragged together.

Just look at the excitement…
