The most important reason why the original "American Supermodel Contest" and "Proud of the Skybridge" were successful is that the two hosts, Terra Banks and Heidi Crum, were both producers and were deeply involved in the production of the program.

Although Eric has watched several episodes of "American Supermodel Contest", even if he himself competes with the best and wrong, he is likely to produce something inappropriate, because he only has a slight understanding of fashion expertise, and can only simply distinguish the advantages and disadvantages of a model's makeup and the advantages and disadvantages. However, Eric can't say anything about what's good and what's bad, but these problems are completely free of any problems for the two top supermodels who have been working in the fashion industry for many years.

However, it is definitely not enough to just be the host of these two beautiful beauties. Therefore, Eric had the idea of ​​producing according to the cooperation model of his previous life, and divided a small part of the benefits. Eric could also feel much more at ease by participating in the production of the two of them in depth.

After Eric said that, Cindy Crawford pointed to the document in Eric's hand and said, "Eric, you asked us to build our own creative team, but if we only had a production budget, we wouldn't know what to do?"

Linda Ivan Golinsta followed and said, "Yes, Eric, you should give us some guidance, right?"

"Let's divide the tasks first," Eric smiled and handed the two documents in his hand to Cindy Crawford and Linda Ivan Golinsta, saying: "Based on my understanding of you two, I think Cindy is more suitable for "American Supermodel Contest", so Linda, you should be responsible for "Proud of the Overpass".

Linda Ivan Golinsta took the document from Eric, and did not open it like Cindy Crawford, hesitated, and said, "Eric, you may not know enough about me. Otherwise, you must know that I am more suitable for "American Supermodel Contest", and I am the first supermodel."

From the conversation just now, Linda Ivan Golinsta realized that "Proud of the Bridge" was Eric's temporary idea. The supermodel competition is also more popular than the design competition. Then, the prospect of "Proud of the Bridge" is definitely not as good as the "American Supermodel Competition" that has been brewing for a long time. Although Eric insisted, she could only accept it. After all, behind them, there were 38 other angels from the Victoria's Secret Corps waiting for this opportunity and actively gave up the opportunity to others. But Linda Ivan Golinsta still felt that she should fight for it, if Eric agreed.

Before Eric could speak, Cindy Crawford retorted: "Linda, I am the first supermodel to be a TV host. Obviously, it's better for "American Supermodel Contest" than you."

"What's the use of being a fashion show host for a few years? To be honest, Cindy, I don't think your taste in this outfit today is very good. I just felt embarrassed to tell you just now."

"Oh, thank you for your advice, Linda," Cindy Crawford stretched his body gently, without any anger, and looked at Eric with a smile, "Eric, Linda's dress taste is higher than mine, so it is more suitable for her to be the producer of "Proud of the Skybridge", haha."

Linda Ivan Golinsta didn't expect to dig a hole and fill it in. He snorted depressedly and looked at Eric.

"Hey, stop fighting, things are settled," Eric looked at the two women and smiled and said, "I have more confidence in you both now."

"Oh, why?" Cindy Crawford asked curiously when he felt Eric's smile was a bit bad.

Eric did not answer directly and asked back, "Do you know what the most important thing about reality shows is?"

The two women raised their heads at the same time, Eric didn't care and smiled and said, "The most important thing in reality shows is drama (catching horses). The conversation between you two just now can be added to the reality show without any processing."

No matter what kind of reality show, there is an element that is indispensable. In the West, this element is called catching a horse, and in the East, it is called tearing up.

Cindy Crawford and Linda Ivan Golinsta were both embarrassed, but Eric didn't mind at all and continued: "Actually, the prospects of the projects you two are comparable. The most important thing is whether you can do it well. Just like "Proud of the Skybridge", if you can grasp the essence of the reality show, even if the audience does not understand fashion design at all, they can still find the fun of continuing to watch from the contestants' confrontation."

Cindy Crawford just watched "Survivor". He heard Eric say this and asked, "Eric, I have always had a doubt, does "Survivor" really have a script?"

Eric nodded and smiled, "Yes."

Cindy Crawford suddenly felt deceived. You know, "Survivor" has always used completely no scripts as a promotional stunt. She used to prefer the "Survivor" program: "Then, what we see on TV are all well designed?"

"You have to do it yourself next, so you definitely need to understand these things. Reality shows must have scripts, but this kind of script is not the script that mainly uses lines when making film and television dramas, but the script in the form of a program. In this kind of script, except for some iconic lines of the host, the others mainly design some possible plots based on the personality of the contestants. Moreover, this plot setting does not force the contestants to execute. What the program team wants them to do will provide a more obscure guidance." Eric said, looking at the two women with a smile on his lips, saying, "For example, I want you two to have a dispute, so I handed over the project you both are more optimistic about to one of them, and the other felt dissatisfied, so the situation just now came."

Linda Ivan Golinsta said with anger, "Eric, you are so hateful, you are joking us again."

"I'm talking about the facts," Eric smiled and continued: "In addition, there is also the guidance of interests. As long as the contestants participating in the "Reality Show" are smart enough, they will know what the program team wants them to do. Under the stimulation of huge bonuses, they will often take the initiative to make the results needed by the program team. The scripts in ordinary people's cognition are often line scripts, while the 'scripts' in reality shows are behavior scripts. Therefore, there is no script to promote the external promotion of reality shows, which is actually not a scam."

Cindy Crawford asked: "Eric, what if we have designed the plot but the contestants are unwilling to execute it?"

"There are so many contestants in a reality show. The production team can collect at least several hours of material during each shooting process, while the formally broadcasted program only has 43 minutes per episode. Therefore, you can select shots that meet the needs from a bunch of materials. For those contestants who are determined to do so, the result is very simple, pass. When the program ends, there are fewer and fewer contestants, so there is no need to worry at all, because those who can stay must be familiar with the rules and are willing to accept it."

"Wow, I feel... my whole outlook on life is about to be subverted. Then, is this still a professional reality show? I mean, can our professional knowledge be used?" Linda Ivan Golinsta opened his mouth exaggeratedly and sighed.

Eric nodded and said, "Of course, if the fashion designer on your show can reach the point of stunning everyone in the future, for fairness, you must have to keep him. This is the principle of strength overwhelming, but people with this ability will definitely have a low chance of participating in a reality show."

Cindy Crawford didn’t have the same feeling as Linda Evan Golinsta, but she was considering something more practical, saying, “Eric. I was wondering, can you transfer one or two skilled producers to us from the Survivor project?”

"Of course, I will do this even if you don't mention this. I just said that Fireflies will provide you with some of the staff, which means these."

Linda Ivan Golinsta was not to be outdone and asked, "Then, Eric, can you briefly tell me about "Proud of the Overpass". I can't just do it without direction, right?"

Although I haven't watched "Proud of the Bridge", it is a follow-up work in "American Supermodel Contest". Eric can roughly figure out some program formats, saying: "First of all, build a creative team. Firefly will draw a few professionals who have participated in the production of "Survivor". But if you completely imitate the form of "Survivor", then I can almost foresee the failure of this program. Therefore, based on "Proud of the Bridge", you need to create your own style. For "Proud of the Bridge", you need to find a few judges, three fixed judges, including yourself, plus an old fashion designer and a fashion magazine editor. This can be found from the Hurst Group and they will cooperate. Of course, if you have the right candidates, you can also follow your own ideas."

Linda Ivan Golinsta tilted his head and thought for a while, saying, "Eric, how do you think of Anna Wintour?"

Eric looked speechless.

Cindy Crawford laughed and said sarcastically without hesitation: "Linda, I think Carl Lagerfeld is more suitable. You can invite Lafayette and give him the positions of producers and hosts."

Linda Ivan Golinsta realized that she was a little whimsical as soon as she spoke, but she said to Cindy Crawford without any weakness: "I'm just talking casually, do you need to be so happy?"

"Okay, don't make a noise," Eric still likes watching cats fight, but now is not the time.

After the two women turned their attention to him, Eric continued: "Linda, you have to understand that you are the core and signature of this show. Therefore, the biggest name in this show is only you. Even I will be completely hidden behind the scenes and will not appear on any producer list. In terms of selecting judges, at least, two fixed guests must not exceed your status. Guest guests also need to consider sustainability. Even if you have this connection, it is impossible for others to attend the show for free. You will definitely have to pay the guest appearance fee. However, the budget scale of this show is only 20 million US dollars, which is not large. Therefore, you can occasionally invite big names in some special episodes, but more often, it is best to invite people who are slightly more famous but not so big."

Linda Ivan Golinsta nodded and said, "What about the others? I happened to watch "Survivor". Should we adopt a two-way grouping mechanism like "Survivor"?"

"In this regard, you need to think about it with your team. I can only give some of my own ideas. Group confrontation is definitely not possible. You must know that each designer is a complete individual and they have their own style. Therefore, during the show, group confrontation can be carried out, but most of the time, it is better to have a single confrontation mode. Well, I think you can choose a theme for each episode, set the corresponding time for them to produce, then judge, eliminate one by one, and finally win the championship. Well, the structure of each episode is roughly like this."

Cindy Crawford said: "Eric, what is our champion rewarding? Is it a million dollars?"

"This is definitely not possible. We are a niche show of niche TV stations, so it's only 100,000."

"Hundreds of thousands, um, aren't you too stingy?"

"Do you think everyone is like you two have such high incomes? The average annual salary of Americans is less than 50,000 US dollars or 100,000 US dollars. It is a huge sum for most people. In order to maintain sufficient authenticity, the selection of contestants must be strictly limited to the common people. Models are best for fledgling small town girls, and designers cannot be too professional. In addition, the final reward must not be only money. In addition, the final prize of the "American Supermodel Contest" also requires the resources required to become famous. For example, a chance to log in to the cover of a top fashion magazine, this Hurst Group will provide support, and the signing opportunity of model agency. You communicate with your own agency. I think they will never be stingy with this opportunity to cooperate."

"What about me, what about mine?" asked Linda Ivan Golinsta.
