Jimmy said that he would buy insurance for the audition judges. Although he was joking, Yu Dong didn't think it was an exaggeration at all. In this kind of competition, auditions are inherently harmful to the judges' ears.
"So many people have signed up in the UK, so there should be even more people signing up in the United States."
Jimmy said with a smile, "The registration here in the United States has just started. We don't know the specific situation yet, but the number of people who have signed up will definitely not be small. But it doesn't matter. We have prepared a lot of judges. No matter how many people sign up, we can pass."
Lose."
Yu Dong nodded: "It's a good thing that people are enthusiastic."
"Since the start of this game show, Mr. and Mrs. Sting have been very motivated. A few days ago they even came up with a program plan for me. I took a look and it was related to football. It is basically similar to "Pop Idol".
I just chose to play football." Jimmy said.
Yu Dong couldn't help but laugh. The Stings were just fooling around. Choosing a singer was completely different from choosing a football player.
Football youth training has an overall system. If you select football players the same way you select singers, you will probably end up with some crooked players.
"If they can get major youth training organizations to be willing to send their best students to the program, there is hope that some football stars will be selected from them."
Jimmy pouted: "It's not our turn to choose those football talents at all. Naturally, various football teams will compete for them. However, Sting's idea is not completely undesirable. Although it is unreliable to select football players, we can choose others.
"Pop Idol" mainly shows the contestants' singing and dancing abilities. We can also start another show to show other abilities, but I can't think of what to show at the moment?"
Yu Dong pondered for a while and said, "Since you can't think of anything to show, you might as well not limit what the players can show."
"What do you mean by not limiting what players can show?" Jimmy said with raised eyebrows.
"It means that there are no restrictions on the players, they can show whatever they want. As long as the players feel that they have a certain skill that is special, they can show it on stage, whether it is singing, dancing, playing the piano, or even eating."
"Have a meal?"
"Well, if a person can eat a lot of food and eat more than others, it may not be considered a talent. Of course, I am just giving an example to facilitate your understanding."
"I know what you mean. As long as a person has special talents, he can participate in the competition. But in this way, there is no unified standard for the competition. After all, eating more and singing well are two talents that are very good together.
It’s hard to tell which one is more powerful.”
Yu Dong smiled and said, "This kind of competition just needs to be a little subjective. Isn't there a very popular word on the Internet now called Master? Everyone talks about Master, so why not just call this show Master?"
Show off."
"Talent Show...well, that's a good name."
The word "master" actually comes from Baodao, and is mainly directly translated from the neon language, which means a person who is outstanding in a certain aspect.
When Jimmy just mentioned that he wanted to start another show to show the contestants' abilities in other aspects, Yu Dong thought of a talent show.
Yu Dong didn't remember which country he watched the Talent Show first, but when he first saw the Talent Show, he was shocked. In the Talent Show, you can watch all kinds of talent shows.
Yes, there is nothing you can’t think of, and there is nothing the players can’t do.
The morning after talking to Yu Dong on the phone, Jimmy summoned several of the company's more capable producers for a small meeting.
During the meeting, Jimmy proposed the idea of ​​a talent show. Several producers thought it was very interesting and put forward their own opinions. After one meeting, the process of the talent show was initially determined.
After the process was settled, Jimmy appointed a producer to write a proposal. He hoped to see the program launched before the end of the summer.
…
"Recently, the program "I Am Detective" has been very popular among American audiences. It is reported that although the first episode has just been aired, it has already gained millions of viewers who love it. This novel program method has attracted a lot of attention.
The attention of industry insiders..."
When Onoji returned home, he happened to hear "I am the Great Detective" on the news. After listening to the news host introducing the content of the "I am the Great Detective" program, his eyes widened. Isn't this
Is it a script-killing game in Yuhua Mystery Club?
However, from the name "I am a Detective", the content should only be related to reasoning, but the script killer in Yuhua Mystery Club has many types of scripts, and it is not limited to mystery detectives. Yesterday Ohnoji also played a relatively relaxed one
Family emotional script.
Before the TV report about "I Am Detective" ended, Onoji called his good friend Hoshino Hashimoto.
"Are you watching TV?"
"No, I'm watching "Fatal Identity" right now. The script I played yesterday was adapted from this book, so I bought it and read it."
"Haven't you ever watched "Fatal Identity"?"
"What's so strange about this? I've only read the "Resident Evil" series of YU's books. Why are you calling?"
"Oh, yes, quickly turn on the TV and tune to channel eight."
Hoshimoto Hoshino muttered, "Why?"
Onoji said eagerly, "Don't ask why, just turn on the TV first."
Hoshino Hoshino on the other end of the phone curled his lips, put down the book, and then turned on the TV and tuned to channel 8 as Ohnoji said.
After tuning to Channel 8, Hoshino Hashimoto knew why Ohnoji asked him to watch TV without Ohnoji explaining. The popular TV program in the United States being reported on the TV turned out to be the script they were playing every day recently.
When the TV was halfway through, Hoshino Hoshino's father, Nobita Hashimoto, came back from get off work. He saw his son watching TV and asked in surprise, "You came back so early today?"
This chapter is not finished yet, please click on the next page to continue reading the exciting content! Half of the high school students will get off from school at three o'clock in the afternoon, and after school there are club activities. Hoshino Hashimoto usually doesn't get home until seven or eight o'clock.
During this period of time, Hoshino Hoshino seemed to have gone to the Amamiya family bookstore to participate in some activities. He returned home even later, around nine o'clock.
So Nobita Hashimoto was a little surprised to see Hoshino Hoshino come back so early today.
Hoshino Hoshino said with a smile, "There are too many people at the Mystery Club today, so there are no reservations."
Nobita Hashimoto raised his eyebrows and said, "What kind of activities require reservations? And what is the Mystery Club? Isn't it going to the Amamiya family's bookstore?"
"It's not the Amamiya family's bookstore, but the Yuhua Mystery Club next to the bookstore. Not long after it opened, their club has launched a new game called Script Killing."
"Is this game fun?"
"Of course." Hoshino nodded crazily, then pointed at the TV and said, "Look, the TV stations are reporting on it. There is a program in the United States called "I Am Detective", and the content is exactly the same as the script-killing game. Now this
The show is particularly popular in the United States. The first episode of this show has just come out, and millions of people have already watched the premiere."
Nobita Hashimoto said unexpectedly, "The TV station reported it in the first issue. Is Neon's TV station so efficient now?"
"Maybe it's because it's really popular."
Nobita Hashimoto nodded and asked, "Can we play this game?"
"Of course, there are no restrictions. But if you want to play, you must make a reservation in advance, and the club only accepts group reservations now, not single people."
"It's so difficult?"
Hoshino Hashimoto said with a smile, "Because it's really fun. If you really want to play, you can go with us tomorrow. We have made an appointment for a book for tomorrow afternoon. You can take it in my place. Isn't tomorrow a Saturday?"
"
"Can I watch?"
"Can."
"Then I'll go and watch tomorrow."
…
The next afternoon, Nobita Hashimoto went to Yuhua Mystery Club with his son. He was originally going to watch, but he couldn't stand the instigation of others and finally participated in the game.
What they played was a horror game with a bit of a mystery. During the game, various props and background music were played together, which frightened Nobita Hashimoto to the point of standing on his hair.
By the time the game was over, Hashimoto Nobita's back was covered in sweat. Although the students who played with him were all pale with fright during the game, they were more excited after the game.
After resting for a while, the students were all discussing the game process just now, but Nobita Hashimoto went to find Nanaya Mitarai, the president of Yuhua Mystery Club, alone.
"President Mitarai."
The club has now hired a lot of staff, so Mitarai doesn't have to be the host and can concentrate on other things.
Seeing Nobita Hashimoto coming over, Mitarai Nanaya smiled and said, "Mr. Hashimoto, how was your gaming experience?"
Nobita Hashimoto wiped the sweat from his forehead and said with a smile, "This game is so immersive. I'm old and I can't help but be scared. I haven't recovered yet."
"Haha, if you want to play next time, you can change to a lighter notebook. You have been working very hard, so play some lighter notebooks so that you can have a good rest."
"Okay, I'll try something a little more relaxed next time." Nobita Hashimoto nodded, and then changed the subject, "I heard Hoshino say that you only have one store in Tokyo?"
"It's not that there's only one store in Tokyo, but there's only one store in Neon."
Nobita Hashimoto made a surprised expression, "Why? Your game is so attractive, so you shouldn't worry about making money. Why don't you open more branches in other places?"
Mitarashi Nanaya explained, "Actually, opening a script-killing shop is just a side job of our reasoning club. Compared to opening a shop, our club is more interested in researching new scripts and new gameplay."
"Oh, so that's it. Does the "I Am Detective" broadcast in the United States have anything to do with you?"
"Of course, "I Am Detective" was produced by our headquarters."
Nobita Hashimoto's eyes widened, "Is it actually produced by your agency?"
To be honest, Hashimoto Nobita didn't really think much of Yuhua Mystery Club just now. After all, this place was originally a toy store, the area was not large, and the decoration of the lobby was also very ordinary.
"It was produced by the head office, and we are the branch here."
"The head office and branches are all the same... Since you are not planning to open a branch, is it okay if others want to open a branch?"
"Anyone can open a script-killing shop."
"Can we use the name of your reasoning club?"
"No." Mitarai Nanaya shook her head.
Hearing the words "no", Hashimoto Nobita was a little disappointed, "Then if I don't have the name of the mystery club, can I use your script?"
"The script is available, but it's not free."
Nobita Hashimoto smiled, as long as he could use the mystery club's script, he had never thought about free things.
"Then how are the fees for using the script calculated?"
Mitarashi Nanaya asked, "Mr. Hashimoto, do you want to open a script killing shop?"
Nobita Hashimoto nodded, "I have such an idea. I am very optimistic about this business. If the cost is not too high, I can give it a try. President, please rest assured that if I open a store, it will be far away and it will not affect this business."
On the side of business."
Mitarashi Nanaya shrugged indifferently, "It doesn't matter, as long as you don't care, you can open the store next to us."
Nobita Hashimoto also realized that indeed, the Mystery Club does not make money from this at all. In the future, it will hold activities for free for people to play. If it opens a store next to this place, it will definitely lose money.
"If I want to open a store, can all the scripts in your agency be sold to me?"
Mitarashi Nanaya did not answer in a hurry, but invited Hashimoto Nobita to the lounge and gave him a booklet.
"These are all the existing scripts in our agency. The scripts are divided into three categories: ordinary scripts, city-limited scripts, and exclusive scripts. The prices are in order from low to high. All scripts are included in the price."
This chapter is not finished yet, please click on the next page to continue reading the exciting content! Hashimoto Nobita opened the book and looked at the densely packed script names with a surprised expression. He had only heard that there were many scripts, but he did not expect that there were so many.
Apart from anything else, just writing these scripts takes a long time.
Moreover, Yuhua Mystery Agency has prepared the brochure in advance, and must have thought about selling the script to others to open a store.
"President Mitarai, can the exclusive version be understood to mean that if my store buys it, only our store can play it?"
Mitarai Nanaya nodded and said, "The exclusive version means exclusive to the city. If you buy it, it means that this city can only be played at your home. The reason why the exclusive version can become an exclusive version is because the quality of the script is very high, and it will
Improve the competitiveness of a store in the same city."
"Has anyone asked about opening a store before me?"
"Yes, but it hasn't been decided yet. You can choose any of the scripts here."
No one has bought the script before, which is good news for Nobita Hashimoto, because he can seize the opportunity to get an exclusive copy.
But when he saw the price of the exclusive copy, Hashimoto Nobita couldn't help but be stunned. An exclusive copy cost hundreds of thousands of neon dollars.
City-limited editions are not cheap either, with prices ranging from 50,000 to 100,000 NT dollars. Regular editions are cheaper, but cost more than 10,000 NT dollars.
If he opens a store and buys more than 20 regular copies, five city-limited copies, and two exclusive copies, then the cost for the script alone will be close to one million neon dollars.
Then the investment in stores, personnel, and everything combined would cost at least two to three million neon dollars, which was still a bit stressful for Nobita Hashimoto.
But Nobita Hashimoto couldn't bear to give up such an opportunity. Although the initial investment was high, the subsequent operating costs were relatively low. Basically, it only required staff wages and rent, with no other costs, and the gross profit was very high.
Mitarashi Nanaya saw Hashimoto Nobita's concerns and said with a smile, "Actually, when opening a script-killing shop, in addition to the script, the main thing is the host's level. If you want to open a script-killing shop, the first thing you must consider is the same
