Phil knew very well that if he followed the path of an ordinary person, the chance of failure was too high.

Although he has a lot of funds to use, this may not necessarily be an advantage in the path of ordinary people, but may have a negative effect.

Previously, a wealthy man participated in a superhero talent show. By putting money on the program team, he added shots to himself, asked the mentor to give him a higher evaluation, and asked some contestants to cooperate with his performance.

However, such behavior aroused the audience's disgust and boycott. Although it gained some popularity by burning money during the talent show broadcast, there was no sound when it failed to reach the second stage.

I have to say that to become a superhero, it requires not only money, but also popularity, but also strength. At least it needs to be liked by the public - no matter which type of like it is.

After thinking about it, Phil felt that if he participated in the superhero selection program like others, then he would just follow this old path. Will the audience like him? It is highly likely that he would not like him.

Because the rich man participates in the superhero selection, he will naturally deduct points.

Audiences prefer superheroes who come from the civilian class, have miserable life experiences, and show a strong sense of social responsibility.

Although Phil has fans, in the minds of most public, he is a playboy who is not doing his job, and naturally gives people a "unreliable" feeling.

What's more, the motives of the rich in participating in the superhero draft are obvious.

So, Phil decided to take another path: personally invest in a superhero talent show.

Currently, the exclusive naming costs of several popular superhero talent shows have almost exceeded 100 million yuan.

Of course, the production cost of these talent shows is also extremely high.

Because superhero talent shows are different from ordinary talent shows, in addition to regular venues, these superheroes also have to go to a large number of outdoor scenes and some special events arranged.

In addition, if the talent show needs to have enough influence, you also need to invite superheroes with enough popularity and influence as mentors. The appearance fees for these people are sky-high.

Therefore, Phil would have to spend at least 200 million knives before his plan could be successful.

The risk of doing this is very huge. This price can get the exclusive naming fee for many superhero talent shows, and the exclusive naming fee can have a good advertising effect on the Simmons family's local business.

In other words, if you use this money to buy exclusive titles for other talent shows, you will basically not lose too much.

But Phil cannot be named, at least not exclusively. On the one hand, it is because such an attitude is still obvious, which can easily arouse the audience's suspicion and affect the overall plan; on the other hand, it is because there is no sufficient benefit, other large consortiums will never participate.

Therefore, Phil's plan is to join hands with the consortium behind the two most popular superhero talent variety shows to organize the variety show "Successor" in the name of these two consortiums.

On the surface, the Simmons family will completely separate themselves from the variety show "Successor" and do not name it. Then even if some people think that there is a transfer of interests behind it, they will not feel that it is too much.

The two major consortiums are already fighting for the superhero field. Letting them jointly name the variety show "Successor" will make this show gain extremely high popularity and attention before it is broadcast.

For these two large consortiums, you can get the naming rights of a superhero talent show with huge investment without investing, with a value of at least tens of millions of dollars. Why should you refuse such a good thing that comes to your door?

The only thing Phil Simmons wants is that the production team of this variety show uses their own people to ensure that the show develops according to the scripts they have designed.

Phil will serve as a mentor in the variety show "Successor".

There are four mentors in the show. In addition to Phil, there is also a superhero, a superhero's gold medal agent, and a director of the marketing department of the company behind the superhero.

The other three mentors are all big names in the field of superheroes, and the whole meaning of their existence is to play Phil and create the illusion that "Phil and these people are at the same level" for all audiences.

In fact, with Phil's ability and knowledge reserve, it is absolutely impossible to show the same level as the other three mentors on such occasions.

But it doesn't matter, he has the script in his hand.

As long as you act according to the script, Phil will do everything.

Phil does not have the experience of making superhero talent variety shows, but he must have a brave man after giving it a lot of money. As long as he is willing to spend enough money and invites the right person, all these problems can be solved.

Not every top superhero is interested in being a mentor in such variety show talent shows, because it is a bit like a child playing house, but as long as you give enough money, you can always find the right candidate.

After Phil spent a lot of money, "Successor" was entrusted to a very powerful TV station in Hope City for production, and auditions and filming were quickly put on the agenda.

The production of the program "Successor" is similar to other superhero talent shows. The auditions are carried out normally. The potential newcomers who hope to become superheroes will be explored from the whole country. Through a series of practices and competitions, the final winner will be decided.

It was just that there was some innovation in the rules of the program: the rules of snatching people among mentors and forming teams to compete.

Four mentors form teams by competing with people, and the four teams form a team to determine the final winner.

Based on this rule, Phil got the script of "second place".

The reason for winning the second place script is that the first place is too ostentatious. According to the script arrangement, the team formed by Phil will be a "something that doesn't seem strong, but actually very strong."

In other words, these people will deliberately perform less well when performing auditions, and at this time Phil will see the shining points on them and attract them to their subordinates. In the formal competition, these people will perform completely, but there is still a certain gap in hard power, so they unfortunately lose and finally won the second place.

In this way, the audience will feel that these people are all people with mediocre qualifications, and under Phil's guidance, they all performed very well.

The final second place was not the problem with Phil, the mentor, but the team members were too fucked and could not be led by them.

In this way, most viewers will think that Phil is an on the surface, but in fact he is a very capable person, and he is at the same level as the other three big shots.

And this will lay a solid foundation for Phil's next plan.

Soon, "Successor" just released the list of mentors and became popular before it was broadcast!

On these lists are long-known superheroes, gold medal agents, marketing department directors, all of them are industry insiders in the field of superheroes, and all have high reputations. But in addition to these three people, there is also Phil Simmons, a famous playboy, rich second generation who has many fans on Twitter?

A series of doubts immediately appeared on the Internet: Phil Simmons may have a good education and is also a CEO of a company, but is he really qualified to be a mentor for such a program?

But soon, this doubt was overshadowed, because the program team of "Successor" immediately announced the program's competition system: four mentors will compete among the contestants and start a team competition.

So, the audience who had previously questioned Phil Simmons began to gloat and wanted to wait and see Phil Simmons make a fool of themselves on the show.

Although the four mentors have the same "enrollment quota", the best and most promising group will definitely be snatched away by the other three mentors, and Phil can only pick up some crooked melons and jujubes with one level of strength.

At that time, the team battle will probably be one-sided. Phil's team will undoubtedly become a baby with points, and it may be difficult to win a small game.

So under such huge popularity, the first episode of "Successor" was officially launched.
Chapter completed!
