Dragon, choose cultural victory to make money

Chapter 205: Drogo Variety Show

"You mean, this Gordo Craig, even though he's paralyzed, opened an orphanage specifically for adopting children."

Drogo asked as he looked through Godot's information.

"Yes, he is such a good man." Elsa exclaimed.

"A noble doing charity doesn't necessarily mean he is a good person."

It's not that Drogo has any groundless associations, but the combination of nobles and children is a bit too stereotypical.

He also couldn't understand why the rich people here had an extraordinary preference for younger people.

Normally, Drogo doesn't comment on his personal interests.

But this is perverted.

Unlike him, he only likes the older sister Long Niang.

"Could it be that some dragons only think about making money all day long and have never done anything good, so when they find others doing charity, they put themselves in the shoes of others?" Elsa's ability to be sarcastic was deeply inherited from Drogo.

She had a vivid memory of the commercial that Drogo had filmed more than a year ago about his father's bad memory.

After watching the advertisement, I cried for a long time in my quilt. I bought several tea gift boxes before I realized that the advertisement seemed to be used to sell tea.

The evil tea dragon.

"Don't slander Haolong. My factory employs many disabled workers. It's great to provide them with jobs and opportunities to support themselves."

"How can one say that he is great?"

"Providing job opportunities is much more effective than giving money for free. High-end charity is fine, but I don't want anything from them."

"Huh? Didn't you ask me to hire according to the tax reduction quota limit?" Elsa retorted immediately.

In order to highlight the city's concept, embody humanistic care, and encourage and help the disabled to integrate into society, Shuangta City will provide some tax reductions to businesses that employ them.

"Then why don't other businesses hire me? So I am still great." Drogo said confidently.

He is so confident that he has been making such progress compared to his peers.

Drogo looked at the time and it was time to confirm the content of the variety show with Godot as agreed.

"Let's go, it's time to meet this kind-hearted person from the Craig family."

In the reception room, Sir Godot changed into a more formal outfit, which was a modified aristocratic suit, probably so that he could put it on more easily.

"Hello, Mr. Drogo." Godot repeated his old trick and stretched out his fake right hand.

Unfortunately, Drogo saw through it at a glance.

"I'll tell you a secret. Dragons' vision is different from humans'. Your hand looks purple to me."

Drogo said as he sat down on his own special cushion.

It looks a bit like a cat bed, but an enlarged version. He found it on the pet supplies production line. It feels more comfortable than a sofa. From then on, he put cushions in every room in the group where he might stay for more than ten minutes.

The boss’ secret to being able to sleep only 4 hours a day and still stay energetic is that he can find a suitable nest in various places and take a nap anywhere, and no one dares to disturb him.

"Oh, okay, I'll keep this in mind and make sure to improve it next time I encounter another dragon." Godot shrugged indifferently, his shoulder joint had not yet "frozen".

A translucent wizard's hand dropped the fake hand onto his leg.

"I'm Gordo Craig, a useless man and former future patriarch of the Craig family." He introduced himself with a hint of sarcasm.

"Oh, that's right. You have already mastered an important part of variety shows. Playing the victim, or playing the victim with a bit of optimism, is easier to win the audience's favor than crying your eyes out."

Drogo felt that the Godot in front of him was a natural variety show host, and it was a pity that he only wanted to work behind the scenes.

Having experienced tragic things but having some abilities, there is no better inspirational example.

"Really? Then I have to thank this disease. Although it took away my freedom, it brought me more love from people."

"Tell me about your variety show idea. If it's suitable, it will hopefully become the flagship program of the New Magic Channel." Drogo got to the point.

Godot's expression also became serious. Compared with many plans that seemed whimsical or imitated the sword-forging competition, his plan was much more detailed.

In addition to the plan, a slide show was also prepared specifically for presentation.

It is not a PPT, but a slide of a mechanical structure. The light source illuminates the content drawn on the transparent material, which is projected through a convex lens and a reflector.

This is a new thing that was created during the production of Tom and Jerry animations. The production team often uses this method to display storyboards during meetings without bothering illusionists.

“My earliest idea was to produce a music variety show in a completely performance format, with each episode having a theme, and then performing music based on the theme, which could also serve as an introduction.

“But then I got inspiration from watching a sword-forging competition. People like competition, no matter what the content is, they like to watch a group of people compete with each other.

"Then the winners get together and compete to see who is the strongest. I designed a music competition program based on this structure.

"After that, I conducted a public survey and found that traditional music forms were not in line with the aesthetic tastes of ordinary audiences. The most popular bards in street taverns were unwilling to sing long pieces of music, and people were unwilling to listen to them.

“To be honest, although I have listened to performances by the best opera companies and orchestras since I was a child and I know they are great, I really can’t listen to them.

"The songs they sing in the street pubs are all written by themselves, so I thought, why not provide a big stage to showcase their works, so the idea of ​​this show came about."

The slide shows a rules chart, including weekly, monthly, and annual competitions.

According to this plan, one season of the show can be broadcast for a whole year, take a year off, and then directly start the second season next year.

There are three contestants every week, and they compete in two rounds. In the first round, only a snippet of the song is shown, and the worst contestant is eliminated. In the second round, the full version is sung to decide the weekly champion.

Each weekly champion can participate in the monthly competition and showcase new works in the monthly competition, and so on to the annual competition. In addition to new works, the songs in the weekly and monthly competitions must be sung in the annual competition to finally determine the overall champion.

Godot laboriously introduced the plan for the entire program.

Drogo nodded after listening to it. To be honest, there wasn't much of a problem. The rules were very similar to a show he had watched.

Avenue of Stars.

Although this program always leaves people with the impression that it is rustic and only old men and women with nothing to do would watch it, it must be admitted that this program has produced some extremely popular artists.

He may even be the most famous artist to debut in all music competition variety shows.

Its popularity has not diminished in the past 20 years and is even getting more famous.

Who hasn’t heard the lines “The vast horizon is my love”?

"It's a good idea, especially choosing original songs. I like this very much," Zhuo Ge said. Songs created by the public may not be as influential and professional as masterpieces by masters, but they are definitely more acceptable. "But there is a problem."

Drogo changed the subject.

"If a program is dragged on too long, it will be difficult to focus on discussing its popularity. It is better to have each season last for a few months, and then have the next season the following year, so that the audience can develop the habit of watching a music festival at this time every year." "I think this will attract more participants," Godot explained.

Drogo waved his paw to express his disapproval. "Participants must ensure the quality in advance. How can there be so many people who can create? Even if they can put together a year's work, the quality will definitely decline in the second year."

There are many reasons why the Avenue of Stars has disappeared, and the serious decline in the quality of contestants is definitely one of them.

Even variety shows that don't require as many contestants face this problem, which is why there are so many returning talent shows.

"Secondly, how are you going to compare your skills? Music is not like forging a sword. There are no rigid indicators. Whoever can cut better is better." Drogo continued to ask questions.

Watching the contestants’ hard-earned swords break on ice, wood, shields or dragon turtle shells in the sword-forging competition is one of the audience’s favorite parts.

It's absolutely obvious who wins and who loses.

But we can’t put a pitch tester there to see who sings the most accurately and give a technical score.

Then do a pitch test, count the highest and lowest notes, the number of these notes, as well as large-span pitch changes, and then record a difficulty score.

In this case, the songs in this variety show will definitely develop in a very strange direction.

"Oh, I introduced it here. There will be a group of judges from professional orchestras on site to score the contestants." Godot turned the slide to the front page.

"But you designed this show because you don't like professional orchestras?"

"Then find some ordinary bards to be judges?"

"Be more direct."

"Let the audience choose their favorite works directly?" Godot also figured it out, "But technically..."

"It can be done. Not only can the live audience vote, but also the online voting can be carried out, so that all the people who watch the show can participate. And it is not a scoring system, only the simplest likes and dislikes."

As for scoring, since everyone has different scoring standards, it is difficult to get a very rigorous result. It is better to be straightforward. We are all diodes, either we like it or we don’t.

"In this case, will someone who likes a song deliberately dislike it for a competitor?"

Gordo expressed his concerns.

"What's wrong with that?"

Drogo asked a rhetorical question, which made Godot a little confused.

"Yeah, there doesn't seem to be anything wrong with that. It will create more heat, but it's a little unrefined."

Gordo felt like this was a deliberate attempt to provoke conflict, something the Craigs had done before.

As the largest assembly manufacturer, they must be among the people in the world who love war the most.

Countless civilian children were killed in the battle, and they were dazzled by the mountain of gold coins from the rear.

The Craigs don't start wars, but they love to encourage others to start wars.

Godot didn't like this and felt deeply guilty about it, even though he had no specific involvement in it.

Sometimes he felt that perhaps his body was the curse brought about by the many sins of this family.

So he chose to open an orphanage, chose to support his nephew, and chose a business that was less bloody.

"We have to make money, don't we? Here are two piles of gold coins. Which one do you say is noble and which one is dirty?" Drogo used the classic line to make a sophistry.

"This..." Godot wanted to answer that some gold coins are dirty.

"Besides, fans quarreling is not a war."

"Yeah, it's not a war." Godot thought he was too sensitive and it was a bit funny.

“But what direct relationship does this have to making money? Do I have to pay to obtain the right to vote?” he asked again.

"That's too straightforward. It's a bit ugly."

"So what..."

"Of course, each person has a limited number of votes. If you want to get more votes, you must purchase designated products." Drogo found a new sales channel for the Digimon machine.

As for whether the items bought by the fans are useful or not, that has nothing to do with him. Just pay the money.

Godot's eyes widened. How could this be a good way to eat?
"Don't be too surprised. In the past, when nobles supported actors in a troupe, they would throw money directly onto the stage. You must have seen that."

This Godot did admit that one of his sisters had once fallen desperately in love with an actress, which was a family scandal.

Actors look glamorous, but in the eyes of their class they are considered toys. If anyone really falls in love with them, it would be a great amusement for other nobles to laugh at them.

"I have an even better idea. For the products purchased for voting, we can choose not to deliver them. The Drogo Group can directly send them to people who can't afford them. We can also use the name of charity. After all, it's more troublesome to let the rich deal with the excess products themselves."

Drogo thought he was a genius, as this also eliminated waste of resources.

Give the Tyrannosaurus and Famicom games that rich guys and girls have bought in excess to poor children so that they can cultivate their hobbies from an early age. This way, when they grow up and have money, they will definitely continue to pay for their childhood memories.

Use other people's money to cultivate your own user base.

"Can this channel also be used to promote the music player?" Gordo asked. He originally wanted to find a promotion channel himself, but now it seems that there is no better one than this.

The music player business cannot bypass Drogo. After all, it needs to be connected to the Hongzhong network. If it is cut off from the upstream, all players will become useless.

"Oh? You made a music player?"

“Yes, it’s a student project of the Repin Academy, and we hope to cooperate with your group to produce it.”

Drogo was a little surprised. This was too sensible. He offered the meat and then chose to drink the soup.

"It's a pleasure working with you." Drogo stretched out his claws and grasped the artificial hand that looked a little purple.

"Haha," Gordo was amused by the joke, "So the judging panel is also cancelled?"

"Of course not. Judges are an important part of the show's effectiveness." Drogo denied it immediately.

“It’s more of a mentor system than a judging system. They are not responsible for scoring, but only for providing suggestions, re-arranging the contestants’ works, and then performing them a second time.

"The mentors are divided into several teams, making it seem like they are in a competitive relationship. In the first round, the mentors invite each contestant to join their team. Of course, the contestants who are not chosen will be eliminated naturally. More details will be given to you in two days."

At this point, Drogo suddenly asked, "Have you thought of a name for this show?"

"not yet."

Actually, Godot had a name, but it has been changed so much that it is no longer appropriate.

"Then let's call it 'Flynn's Good Song'."
