Chapter 790 Talk about race
Looking around at the parties involved in the production of the entire program, Carter carefully estimated the costs
First of all, there is the technical aspect. To produce a program, you need venue staff, photographers, editors, etc., and of course, you also need a venue that is the least of the problems!
Whether it’s our own venue or Yale’s, we have plenty of it! If that’s not possible, it’s not difficult to negotiate using an outside venue.
As for professional skills, Yale has Bulldog Films!
You can tell from the name that this is an organization affiliated with Yale University. Yes, it is an organization, not a real film production company!
Although it is a company, it is more like a film and television production society. Its members are all from school students, but it will involve a considerable number of graduate students, so it needs to be connected with the graduate school, but generally speaking, the price of paid services on campus
For students from the same school, the fees will always be lower than those from outside!
What's more, I can also get some resources from Murdoch.
This is not a waste of money, but a derivative effect of the traditional "master tea" at Yale Residential College!
There is no shortage of big names from all walks of life in the list of the Yale University Alumni Association. For example, today, the Vice President of the federal government, George Bush, is a Yale University alumnus.
There are many celebrities like this. Without the legacy of alumni and their need to use the platform of Yale, it would be difficult to impress them with ordinary invitations.
As long as I can get their small-scale video recording of non-public lectures for junior students at Yale, this is also a very precious bargaining chip!
Its value is at least not weaker than the core program that Carter plans to use to actually make money: the talk show! Even in the early stages of the plan, the value of this part of the content was actually the highest part of the TED project!
After calculating the chips and resources he had, Carter began to act
"Cherish the opportunity you have now to drink freely! There may not be many in the future."
On Friday night, Carter directly booked the venue at the Ogland Street Nuts or Weird Pub for tonight’s event!
"Oh, I really don't know what those people are thinking. It's not a difficult time now, so why should we implement alcohol prohibition?"
"There has to be a compromise. Forget it, don't think about those troublesome things! Anyway, it hasn't been enacted yet, so don't affect our mood tonight."
The "Minimum Drinking Age Act" was put on the agenda in the second half of 1983. It is considered to be one of the hot topics in the United States recently. Even if it is a team building activity, people will inevitably discuss these hot topics.
"Rather than worrying about whether I can drink in the future, I'm more curious. Isn't it about team building for the board of directors? Why are those international students here too?"
Grabbing the drinking nuts on the table, Manfred chewed them while looking at the edge of the tavern with strange eyes, the circle of guys who were incompatible with his group.
"Did Carter call him?"
"Who else is there besides him? Okay, don't think too much! Tonight is not just a party, there are some things to do, well, it is related to the vital interests of each of us in the future, and we need their help!"
"Them? How can they help?"
"Help test what we have prepared and what the audience is like."
"Xincheng, right? You are here. Where are the others?"
On the basis of testing whether the talk show script could satisfy the tastes of people of all races and nationalities, he called the international students he recruited to a party. Naturally, Carter would not simply observe their reactions.
Relationships always need to be properly maintained!
Taking the lead to sit at the table of Chinese students, Carter asked with a smile while holding a wine glass.
"They. Some people want to work, but some don't want to come."
"Don't want to come? Why?"
Carter was slightly startled. Before sending the invitation, he explained that the guests would not be responsible for the cost. Why. Forget it, it’s not important!
Looking at Zhang Xincheng's somewhat troubled expression, Carter also guessed something:
"Okay, let's not talk about that. Recently, there are a lot of things going on in school, and I don't have time to see how you are doing. Will you be able to adapt to the United States? Are there any difficulties that you need my help with?
"
"Well, something really happened! Mr. Chairman, Miaotong's gastrointestinal condition is not very good. She is not used to the school food. She often suffers from stomach upset recently. The stomach medicine we brought was confiscated when we went through the customs. They did not let us bring the medicine.
Come in, if we buy it ourselves, we don’t have medical insurance, it’s too expensive! I don’t know.”
"Would you like to buy medicine? Okay, I understand. Just leave this matter to me! Also, don't be so polite. For private gatherings, you can just call me Carter!"
"Thank you, we'll give you the money"
"Let's see how much it cost after I finish buying it!"
After chatting with the Chinese for a while and having a drink with a few people, Carter went to the next table.
By the time Carter visited Egypt, Israel, India, and even some international student groups in the Middle East, it was already eight o'clock in the evening.
The show begins!
"Ahem."
Jump on the stage, well, it's a stage, but it's actually just a versatile performance corner in the corner of the pub
When a band comes, this is the band's territory; when a resident singer comes, this is the singer's stage; now that Carter has arrived, he has to cough a few times to attract everyone's attention.
"Everyone is welcome to this party! Let's celebrate the arrival of the new students together. Not only the new students from the United States, but also friends from all over the world, and we also welcome the influx of new blood into the Yale Council."
"I know that some people may find it uncomfortable to play with many strangers! But I want to say that you will get used to it in the future! Different races and cultures blend together here, and we also get to know each other here.
Try to accept the people around you, come on, friends, change seats and meet some new friends!"
Sitting on a high chair in the corner, Carter looked at the black, white and yellow picture in front of him, and he didn't like it no matter what.
So, on a temporary basis, a new process was added.
It's just that this opening statement was obviously not as smooth and natural as the one in the theater. Many people were stunned for a moment, wondering whether they should do what Carter said.
"Come! Guys, you are all good guys, you won't tell me, are you shy?!"
"Let's go!"
Although he didn't know what Carter wanted to do, Rick was the first to respond to Carter's call. Not only did he get up and walk to the Chinese table, but he also knocked on the table to remind the students on the board of directors to move.
If someone takes the lead, the rest will be easy to explain.
After a noisy change of positions and a brief introduction to each other, Carter continued his performance:
"Ah! It looks much more comfortable now! This is Yale, this is an international community!"
"Well, I see that you are tense and a little restrained. Are you worried about offending the other party? Ha, let's do it. Today I will talk about race and culture."
Chapter completed!
