Chapter 106 [One Foot into the Entertainment Industry]
Yang Rui talked about the reality show plan at the dinner table, the nature of the documentary, the shots are not shaky, the content is rich, the main content is accommodation, entertainment, and complaining, and the host must be humorous and like food. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. biquge。 info
Melanie listened very carefully, she is not only Scarlett's agent, but also a program producer, proficient in all kinds of work, and estimated that it would cost about 300,000 yuan to shoot well, which is absolutely low-cost.
What is the main shooting and what the style is, Yang Rui has made it clear. It's simpler than "A Bite of China", eat-oriented, only looking for special food, and not digging into the deep mountains and old forests.
He also incorporated some elements of the future reality show "Food in Embarrassment", with the aim of creating a light comedy food reality show, with food as the main clue, through the form of talk shows and reality shows, interpreting the program concept of "the world is so big, I want to taste it".
Melanie was stunned when she heard this, because Yang Rui's concept was very advanced. "Have you talked to a professional showmaker? How long have you been planning? ”
"No, I thought when I came back from Toronto, I didn't have time for these things before."
"......" Melanie was speechless.
In other words, this wonderful food show was suddenly thought up by him as soon as he slapped his head? Such a person actually ran to be a basketball coach without mixing in the entertainment industry?
If the United States wants to launch a reality show, it is generally a team operation, groping for filming, Yang Rui has been more specific, and gave a few examples, as if he had hosted a food show.
Yang Rui liked to watch food shows in his previous life, "XFUN Foodie Club", "Lonely Foodie" and so on, he watched them all, what attracts the audience, he knows very well.
After a while, Melanie sighed: "I used to think that Scarlett was a genius and could be a good actor, so I took her into the entertainment park." But compared to you, she's too ordinary. ”
Scarlett pouted: "Mom, you're praising him too much, aren't you?" ”
Melanie smiled. "When are you going to start shooting?"
"As long as the photographer is in place and ready to go, we can start in New York and choose a route."
Melanie said: "Maybe you haven't thought that this show is likely to be a big hit, I plan to contact a crew to shoot well, and I will also contact you after the production is completed and distributed, the copyright is yours, and the contract will be drafted after the specific content is negotiated, what do you think?" ”
Yang Rui smiled: "That's great, I don't understand it very well, can I invest 300,000?" If the production is more sophisticated, this money will definitely not be enough to finish a season, right? ”
"Yes, I'll pay for the rest." Melanie smiled and nodded approvingly.
Thomas listened and began to feel a little anxious, the other party said that this must be profitable, Yang Rui also put on a posture of not caring about money, how could there be such a negotiation?
Soon he figured it out again, Yang Rui really doesn't care about money, he treats the Scarlett family as friends, everyone earns money together, it's okay to make less money, he cares more about the relationship between each other.
Yang Rui's original intention of filming the reality show was to increase Scarlett's exposure and help her become famous in advance.
Moreover, Yang Rui also got benefits.
Just two hours ago, they were still ignorant about filming, and they couldn't handle it on their own, and now they have entered the entertainment industry with one foot.
If you want to make money, you just have the ability, you must make a lot of money first, and you must have connections. They had just set up an investment company and were already making a big business.
After a very pleasant dinner and sending the two away, Scarlett asked curiously, "Mom, can you talk to Jerry too?" Is he really that good? Awesome off the pitch? ”
Melanie laughed, "You're so lucky to have met Jerry." I can't imagine how good he will be in the future, and it is entirely possible to surpass our family. ”
"Really? Jerry said he would be at the top of the rich list in the future. Scarlett laughed.
Melanie took a deep breath, and it seemed that he was still underestimating his ambitions.
She decided to communicate well with her ex-husband, so that the siblings could have a good relationship with Jerry and Thomas, and there would definitely be benefits in the future.
The reality show conceived document proposal, Yang Rui had already sent it through the computer, and Melanie sent another copy to Einar Johnson's mailbox.
When Yang Rui and Thomas returned home, they were leaning on the sofa and watching TV, and Thomas lowered his voice and asked, "Who did you learn from in business?" You're changing a lot from before. ”
"What kind of business? I just think this vacation is very long, and I want to find something fun to do, or watch TV in New York for a few months? Even if I don't earn a penny and only spend money, I will do it. ”
Thomas didn't believe it and said with a smile: "I hope that when you come back after playing, you and she won't both eat big fat people." ”
"Aren't you going? With your image, the ratings are definitely higher. Yang Rui asked. Let's shoot together, it will be a precious memory in the future.
Thomas shook his head. "If I didn't see your software plan, I'd definitely go. Now I just want to go to Silicon Valley, and what a waste of time to hang out with you. ”
"There's no need to be in such a hurry, right?"
"Please, how many years has ICQ been launched, how can you compete with others if you don't do a new software quickly? There is time to play later. Thomas thought for a moment and said, "We're going to Los Angeles tomorrow, and then we're going to Silicon Valley." ”
"Okay......"
Thomas is a playboy, he often has **** when he plays, he is crazy, he is serious about his work, he is very motivated, and he doesn't want to wait for a moment.
Chat software is doing it now, and it's really not too early to start. In 1996, three Israelis, Wisger, Wadi and Goldfinger, got together to develop software that enabled people to communicate quickly and directly on the Internet. THEY NAMED THE NEW SOFTWARE ICQ, WHICH MEANS "ISEEKYOU".
ICQ supports functions such as chatting, sending messages, and delivering files on the Internet. They founded Mirabilis, a company that provides Internet instant messaging services to registered users. The number of users using ICQ grew rapidly, and six months later, ICQ was announced to be the world's most used instant messaging software at the time. In the 7th month, ICQ reached 1 million official users.
This year, ICQ was acquired by AOL for $287 million, and at that time it had more than 10 million users.
In Yang Rui's previous life, China's Tencent also borrowed from ICQ to make the famous Penguin software, and the first version will be launched in 1999. In 2000, QQ defeated ICQ and became the king of domestic instant messaging software, and at the same time, other domestic instant messaging software also slowly disappeared in the rapid rise of QQ.
Now, the functions and pages of ICQ are too bad to complain in the eyes of Yang Rui, a future person.
Thomas snorted: "When you start a company in Silicon Valley, you definitely can't use the name of an investment company. You've already thought about doing this, so that's why you registered a domain name, right? It's disgusting that you didn't even discuss such a big thing as the name of the company with me. ”
"You don't like that name?"
"No, it's a nice name."
