"Mr. Xu, Mr. Xu, could you possibly hear my thoughts? That's incredible!"
I just said that the video website is Daxu Culture's own son, and you come along with "Where Did Dad Go?".
Does this mean that even if a video streaming platform is its own child, it becomes an orphan if it can't find its father?
Looking at the title of the planning proposal in front of him, Liu Mingqian muttered to himself.
For a moment he was somewhat bewildered, because he couldn't find the expected 'explosive moment' in this variety show.
This kind of program is simply about finding some fathers to take their sons around to play, focusing on parent-child activities.
Liu Mingqian doesn't think anyone would enjoy watching this type of variety show.
Even if the guests are invited celebrities, probably not many people would want to watch this.
As far as he knows, there doesn't seem to be a show of this type in the current variety show market.
"It feels so different from the plan that Mr. Xu prepared for someone else before!"
The program "Approaching Science" is very appealing, even though it has its flaws.
But it's still much more interesting than the 'Where Are We Going, Dad?' video that Mr. Xu showed us on the video website..."
Liu Mingqian was somewhat depressed.
He always suspected that Mr. Xu on the other end was just trying to fool him, so he sent over a hastily put-together plan.
And this is based on evidence.
After all, from the time Liu Mingqian made his request to the time when President Xu on the other side presented this solution, there wasn't much time in total.
"So... should we use this plan or not?"
Liu Mingqian was conflicted again.
After all, this is a program proposal personally given to you by President Xu. How could you dare not use it?
However, there are two aspects to consider if we were to use it.
Firstly, of course, is whether the show can become a hit. If the show flops, the responsibility certainly cannot be attributed to Mr. Xu; Liu Mingqian must take the blame.
On the other hand, there's the cost. Judging from the program's content, each episode requires inviting several celebrity father-son pairs to participate.
Moreover, Mr. Xu specifically pointed out that the bigger the celebrity, the better.
So the invitation fee is definitely not a small amount.
Although DaXu Video Network is already making money, Liu Mingqian still feels the pinch when he thinks about spending large sums of money.
For a moment, he regretted confiding in President Xu. If he hadn't, he wouldn't be facing this dilemma now.
"Sigh, me too. Why did I have to say that? Now look what's happened, we can't film the show, and we can't not film it either!"
Having thought this through, Liu Mingqian finally made up his mind, thinking to himself:
"We definitely have to film it. We can't refuse the instructions given by President Xu, so we can only call a meeting to discuss how to film it. Maybe it's just my imagination."
"Mr. Xu is so good at making movies, there's no reason why he could be so bad at planning a variety show. There must be some shining points that I haven't seen."
Without hesitation, Liu Mingqian summoned his secretary and asked him to convene a meeting of the core members of the video network.
Soon, the core members of the video network arrived at the conference room with puzzled expressions, because they had no idea what Liu Mingqian wanted to talk about in this sudden meeting.
Liu Mingqian didn't keep them in suspense and spoke directly:
"As everyone knows, our video website will be expanding and developing its variety show offerings in the future."
I've gathered everyone here today because I have a program proposal that I'd like to discuss.
Xiao Liu, please distribute a copy of the plan to everyone. Give everyone five minutes to think about it, and then we will discuss it.
Soon, the planning proposal for "Where Did Dad Go?" was distributed to every key member.
Everyone was taken aback when they saw the title, but because of the time constraints, they didn't think much of it and started looking at the details of the plan.
For a moment, everyone's expressions were different.
Five minutes passed in a flash. Liu Mingqian, who was at the front, surveyed the expressions of everyone present, clapped his hands, and said:
"Alright, time's up. I'm sure everyone has already read through the plan."
Now, please tell me, is this plan worth pursuing? We need reasons to support both sides.
Liu Mingqian wasn't a general manager parachuted in; he rose through the ranks from the middle management of the video network, so everyone who came to the meeting here was very familiar with him.
Upon hearing his question, someone quickly raised their hand and spoke:
"Mr. Liu, I don't think there's any need to develop this plan, because I feel that this type of parent-child variety show won't have a market, or rather, the audience won't be very large."
"Yes, I also think it's not a good idea. Look, they're inviting celebrity fathers and sons, which means the required funding is definitely not small, and the risk is huge."
“I also think it would be better to change to a different type of variety show, because there are no successful precedents for this idea on the market, and we don’t need to take this risk.”
...
"Um, am I the only one who thinks this show will be interesting? I think there are other people who would like to see interactions between celebrity fathers and sons."
Apart from a very small number of people who found the proposal interesting, the vast majority of people actually voted against it.
This made Liu Mingqian smile wryly.
It turns out that it wasn't that his vision was different from the general public, but rather that his proposal was indeed unpopular.
But the more this happened, the more conflicted Liu Mingqian became.
Because this plan wasn't given to him by someone else, but rather he "begged" it from General Manager Xu.
Thinking of this, Liu Mingqian raised his hand to interrupt the discussion, cleared his throat, and said:
