Chapter 212 Grandma's Show

After losing one game, Kuang Xun became even more impatient and couldn't wait to win back in the second game.

I couldn't help but urge.

"Now begins the second round of competition. You decide, I'll let you."

Qi Xu didn't need him to give in.

"Thank you for your consideration, Mr. Kuang. It's not fair for me to decide every time. Let's just draw lots."

Then, under everyone's witness, Qi Xu wrote labels for industries in multiple fields, including electronic technology and information, real estate, new energy, medical care, education, film and television, manufacturing, live streaming sales, etc., put them into a small box, shook it evenly, and handed it to Kuang Xun.

"You draw. We'll decide what to compete for based on what you draw."

Kuang Xun grabbed a piece of paper and opened it. The words "film and television" were written on it.

Qi Xu unfolded the note, thought carefully, and began to explain the rules of the competition.

"Then let's choose projects from the film and television entertainment field to compete."

Before Qi Xu could finish speaking, Kuang Xun interrupted him.

"This time, you are not allowed to ask anyone for help. You must rely on your own strength and vision to make the decision."

"Okay! It's a deal!" Qi Xu had no intention of asking for help.

A few days ago, she and Uncle Song had an in-depth discussion on the development prospects and trends of various investment fields.

We also conducted a focused analysis and listed all the advantageous projects that are in line with the current economic development situation.

Now, it is equivalent to changing the title of the questions you have done and reviewing them again.

Qi Xu remained calm and spoke slowly.

"As far as I know, each of the major satellite TV stations will be launching a variety show this week."

"They are 'Idol Coming', 'Athletes Go!', 'Cute Baby Blasts', and 'Grandma's Show'."

"We both have 10 minutes to choose our favorite variety shows and submit our lists. After the weekend, whoever's chosen the show with the highest ratings, the most buzz, and the most buzz will win."

"If we choose the same thing, we can draw lots again and compete in a different field. What do you think?"

Kuang Xun felt that this competition was fair and he had no objection.

"Okay, start the timer now."

After careful consideration, he handed over the list.

Qi Xu also finished writing it.

When I opened it, I found that the two people did not overlap.

Kuang Xun chose "Idol Coming" and Qi Xu chose "Grandma's Show".

The next three days of waiting were extremely torturous for Kuang Xun. He was restless and kept watching TV every day, waiting for the show's ratings.

Finally, all the shows were aired, although not in the same time slot.

But the final result was far beyond his expectations.

It turned out to be the show he was least optimistic about. The show "Grandma's Show" chosen by Qi Xu ranked first.

Not only does it have the highest ratings, but its popularity has also surpassed all other programs in recent years.

He was unwilling to accept this and felt that Qi Xu was cheating.

"Did you already know the result from the TV station? That's why you guessed so accurately."

Qi Xu defended himself in a clear and logical manner.

"How is that possible? It only took 10 minutes from the lottery draw to the topic selection. None of us made any phone calls, so how could I have cheated?"

"Besides, I'm not a god, how could I possibly know in advance which item you've drawn?"

Kuang Xun really couldn't refute this point.

So, unwilling to give up, he once again asked Qi Xu the reason for his choice.

In order to make him admit defeat sincerely, Qi Xu analyzed everything for him.

"The first thing I'd rule out is 'Cute Baby Blasts.' It's a celebrity parent-child show. In today's society, most people born after 1995 and 2000 don't want to get married and have children, so how could they possibly enjoy watching this kind of show?"

"A dozen years ago, the post-80s generation would have been in the child-rearing phase, and the boom would have been huge. Now that they've had their second child, they've experienced the hardships of raising a child and don't want to relive the depression they experienced while raising a child."

Then, Qi Xu eliminated the second item, "Athletes, Go!"

"This is a program that records the arduous training routines of champion athletes. The program features only the most popular and top-tier athletes. It's certainly a buzzworthy show, and it's also full of positive energy."

"However, both the production team and investors have overlooked one thing: what variety shows need most is topics and popularity."

"The key to topics and heat lies in contradictions and conflicts."

"Athletes are heroes who bring glory to the country. The labels attached to them must be positive and uplifting, representing national honor. Negative news is not allowed, and there must be no random editing to smear the image of athletes."

"So, the show portrays everyone as having good personalities, good tempers, good character, good ideas, and good morals. Everyone praises each other and is harmonious. So, where do the contradictions and conflicts come from? Where does the dirty work get exposed? Where does the online discussion come from?"

"Without hot topics and topics, where would the ratings come from?"

Kuang Xun only thought that athletes didn't have the same advantages as celebrities in appearance, so he didn't choose them. He didn't expect Qi Xu's analysis to be so thorough and accurate.

"So what's the problem with 'Idol Coming'?"

Qi Xu smiled.

"There's nothing wrong with 'Idol Coming'. Traffic stars naturally bring traffic and topics."

"But its target audience is young people. High school and college students are all in school right now, so the timing is not advantageous. If it were broadcast during the summer vacation, the ratings would be booming."

"The reason why it can't compare to 'Grandma's Show' is that my country's population is currently aging rapidly. The largest population base group now is the middle-aged and elderly people aged 50-70."

"This group of people are retired and have plenty of time to watch TV and watch short videos."

"Moreover, their generation has a more passionate worship of idols."

"More importantly, the older generation of actors and singers are talented, can endure hardships, are more authentic, and the variety show effects they present are more touching."

"Besides, it's not that established stars don't have appeal, but they don't easily appeal. It's not that they don't have fans, but they're just too lazy to market themselves."

"The return of a veteran who has been retired for many years is enough to ignite the passion of countless people."

After listening to Qi Xu's analysis, Kuang Xun felt ashamed and felt that his loss was not unfair at all.

He has invested in so many film and television projects. Without exception, they are all handsome men and beautiful women. He never thought that grandmothers in their sixties and seventies could rekindle their love life.

In particular, there was a grandma on the show who said something very good.

"Seventy years old is a good age to fall in love and strive for success. As long as you are not dead, everything else except life and death is a small matter." Hearing this, his blood boiled and he was deeply moved by the great fighting spirit.

He lost this round again, and he accepted the defeat wholeheartedly.

But he was still curious. "If I drew real estate, what would you choose?"
