Luo Mingjie has been struggling with funding recently. It’s not that he asked for a high price, but that the cost is mainly here.

Although the first season of "Best Defender" has not had a high ratings and the sponsors have lost some money (not achieving the desired publicity effect), Luo Mingjie can't really reduce the price. After all, he has to consider the cost. If the money is not enough, will the whole company go to drink the Northwest Wind?

Of course, due to the nature of the program, the production funding of "Best Defender" is much lower than that of other variety shows.

For example, some variety shows that sell hundreds of millions of naming fees, either they have to spend a lot of money to build venues or audio equipment, or they have to spend a lot of money to hire big-name guests. Which one does not cost money? Many popular variety shows are burned with money, and it is reasonable to sell the sky-high naming fees.

Relatively speaking, as a debate program, "Best Defender" does not require particularly good venues or equipment, nor does it require some big-name guests. Of course, they cannot afford to invite them.

Those who participated in "Best Debate" are all people who love debate. Many of them have participated in debate competitions and won awards. These people are not variety shows stars. They usually have their own serious jobs and do not plan to get much money when participating in this show, so the cost of this part is easier to control.

But no matter what, Luo Mingjie's psychological bottom line is 5 million. If he is less than this money, he is really using love to generate electricity.

He had been struggling before because no sponsor could give this money. Now, after Zhong Ming said this, it seems to be a solution.

The four sponsors sponsored together? They did not name them, but called "super sponsors". In this way, each company spent 2 million yuan, and the four companies had 8 million yuan, which easily met Luo Mingjie's psychological expectations.

The only question is...can the other three companies agree?

Luo Mingjie thought about it and no matter whether he agreed or not, he could only give it a try like this. It was too late.

"Okay, then when I go back, I will contact the other three sponsors quickly and try to make a decision as soon as possible. But I can't guarantee whether they will agree. After all, although the name of "super sponsor" sounds nice, it is still much worse than "naming". I don't know if they are willing to pay."

Zhong Ming saw Luo Mingjie's heart was a little moved and felt that this was a playful thing.

Zhong Ming was mainly afraid that Luo Mingjie was a more conceited person and did not accept the advice of himself, an outsider. Now it seems that he is a person who is easier to communicate with.

It can be roughly seen that Luo Mingjie is also somewhat lacking in confidence in this show and is struggling. If he is in a state of blind confidence, it will be difficult to deal with it.

"I think the other three companies should have insufficient confidence in the program "Best Debate", so they are unwilling to pay more, right?" Zhong Ming asked.

Luo Mingjie sighed softly: "Oh, yes. You can see that you are also a smart person and really want to sponsor our show, so I won't hide it. The performance of "Best Defender" in the first season was really bad. Now many sponsors are talking about this, wanting to lower the price, and have a kind of mentality of giving. I also beg my grandfather to sue my grandmother. I can't bear to give up this show. Many people in our company and some debaters who participated in this show still want to insist on doing the second season because of their love for debate."

"So, you are worried about whether you can convince the other three sponsors to adopt this form of sponsorship, in the final analysis, it is because you are not confident about the show." Zhong Ming said.

Luo Mingjie was helpless: "Of course I'm not confident. To be honest, I also know that debate is naturally apart from the lives of ordinary people. What we debate and think about is how to output opinions as much as possible in a limited time. The debate is full of various logical confrontations, which is very brain-burning. Many people watch our programs and post the most barrage: 'What the hell is said, I won't watch it anymore.' They can't accept this high-density information output."

"Of course, I'm not complaining. After all, most people go home from get off work and watch a variety show just to have fun. Who wants to use their brains? So I also know that our program is a bit off and cannot become popular. I really have no confidence when discussing with sponsors."

It can be seen that Luo Mingjie is also quite distressing. Logically speaking, he shouldn't have said this to Zhong Ming. It may be because what Zhong Ming said today touched his pain point, making him feel like he met a soulmate.

He is the producer of the show. He cannot vomit these bitterness with the employees, the guests, and the audience. It is also very uncomfortable to hold them all in his stomach.

"I shouldn't say this, sorry, I can't help myself. Don't worry, if you are willing to sponsor us, I will definitely work hard to do the show well, at least keep your loyal fans, and definitely let your sponsorship fee not be wasted."

Luo Mingjie also realized that what he said was inappropriate and quickly turned around, hoping that Zhong Ming would not lose confidence in this show.

Zhong Ming didn't care: "Mr. Luo, I think you can convince the other three sponsors, but the premise is that you have to make some changes to the show."

Luo Mingjie was stunned. Change the show?

He instinctively resisted. Before the sponsorship was finalized, he had already started to point fingers at the show?

Although the results of the variety show "Best Debate" are not good, Luo Mingjie is a professional after all, and he has his own ideas about the program itself. The current entire program process is also the result of his long thoughts, so when he heard Zhong Ming say he wanted to change it, he was a little unhappy.

But after all, the talks were very good before, so Luo Mingjie didn't want to refuse directly, so he planned to listen casually. If there is no reason, just fight and just stop changing.

Zhong Ming could see his displeasure, but he must have said it.

"It's okay to debate and do variety shows, but the idea of ​​"Best Debate" is problematic, but it's too unearthable. If the debate show is not understood by most viewers, it's equivalent to losing the most exciting part. How can the ratings rise? Mr. Luo, what's the most popular variety shows, such as "Virtual Idol Development Plan", is it so popular?"

"Where is the fire?" Luo Mingjie thought for a while, "has characteristics, recognizable, and topical."

Zhong Ming nodded: "Yes, it's topical! You see, every episode of "Virtual Idol Cultivation Plan" can be on the hot search. What did this virtual idol do today? The virtual idol will release a new song tomorrow, which will all trigger widespread discussion. As long as the audience discusses, there will definitely be popularity and traffic, which will attract more people to watch, and the show will become popular."

Luo Mingjie smiled bitterly: "Yes, I know, but there are not many handsome men and beautiful women in the debate. Even if there are those who are good-looking, they cannot compete with those idols and celebrities."
