Chapter 124: The Program in Progress (Part II)
The studio fell silent in an instant, and many viewers held their breath for fear of disturbing the contestants' thoughts.
Compared to the first question, this history question is much more difficult. Maybe many Jinling locals don't know very well. Will Zhao Chengdong from the land of abundance know?
Under Zhang Fan's explanation, Zhao Chengdong, who had forcibly recovered, stared at the computer screen in front of him and did not speak. He didn't want to lose this opportunity.
"I choose B, Wu Yue. After a moment of silence, Zhao Chengdong gave his own answer.
"Why did you choose Wu Yue?" Zhang Fan raised his hand and pinched his chin, asking curiously.
"Because my grandmother is from Hangzhou. Zhao Chengdong explained aloud, "My history is not good, but when I was a child, my grandmother told me that the capital of Wuyue is Hangzhou." ”
"Believe grandma?" Zhang Fan asked with a smile.
"Of course I do. Zhao Chengdong also laughed.
"Congratulations, you got it right!" Zhang Fan shouted, and the audience instantly cheered.
"Congratulations, Chengdong, now the bonus has accumulated to 5,000 yuan. Zhang Fan looked at Zhao Chengdong and asked, "Do you choose to leave with 5,000 yuan now, or do you choose to continue answering the question?"
"Continue answering the question. "5,000 yuan is too little, and no one can give up just 5,000 yuan at this time.
And this show will only be a really difficult choice until the last question. Because the jackpot of each previous question can be taken away, and if you answer the last question incorrectly, all the jackpot accumulated before will be lost.
This is done to increase the suspense of the show, not for that little money.
"The third question, the cumulative prize is 10,000 yuan. Zhang Fan nodded and continued to ask: "This is a foreign history topic. Excuse me, who is the 32nd president of the United States?"
"A, Warren Harding. B., Calvin., Herbert Hoover. D, Franklin D. Roosevelt. Please select your answer. ”
Zhao Chengdong was stunned. Although he has a wide range of hobbies, he does not know much about the president of the United States. It's fine if you ask about the most recent US presidents, but how do you know who the 32nd US president is?!
In front of the TV, many viewers began to investigate the information, and some viewers who knew the answer were overjoyed. Although I didn't challenge myself on stage, I still felt very happy that I knew the answer.
"How about it, do you want to use help?" After a while, Zhang Fan saw the hesitation on Zhao Chengdong's face and reminded him with a smile.
"I chose to call for help. After thinking about it, Zhao Chengdong, who didn't know how to choose, nodded and chose to call for help.
In fact, all the contestants who participated in the challenge were informed of the three ways of seeking help before taking the stage. And Zhao Chengdong had already made an agreement with a colleague who had a good relationship before. When the show was live, the colleague sat in front of the TV and watched, and when a question came out, he would search for the answer on the Internet in case of emergency.
At this moment, Zhao Chengdong, who really couldn't choose the right answer, finally chose to use this hole card. After all, he didn't have a clue at all, and even if he used to remove the two wrong answers, he couldn't get the final result. If you are looking to try your luck, you might as well go straight to the best option.
There was a landline phone in Zhao Chengdong's hand, and after Zhang Fan signaled to start the timer, Zhao Chengdong immediately picked up the phone and dialed his colleague.
The beeping sound of the telephone rang in the quiet studio hall, as if it touched the hearts of every audience. Although it was Zhao Chengdong on stage, all the audience was equally nervous.
"Lao Wang, are you watching the show?" After the phone was connected, Zhao Chengdong, who knew that he only had one minute, hurriedly asked.
"Looking. The voice of Zhao Chengdong's colleague rang on the other end of the phone.
"Who is the 32nd president of the United States?" Zhao Chengdong hurriedly asked.
"Franklin Roosevelt!" Zhao Chengdong's colleague gave the answer without the slightest hesitation, and said in detail: "The only president to be re-elected four times." ”
"Huh~~~" After hanging up the phone, Zhao Chengdong let out a long sigh of relief, turned to Zhang Fan and gave his choice, "I choose D, Franklin Roosevelt!"
"Congratulations, the answer is correct!" Zhang Fan raised his hand, and the scene instantly sounded with passionate music. The audience applauded vigorously.
Many viewers in front of the TV who knew the answer laughed and joked, "I don't know such a simple question, and I wasted an opportunity." If I go, I might make it all the way to the end. ”
"Cheng Dong successfully answered three questions correctly, and now the jackpot has reached 10,000 yuan!" Zhang Fan smiled and applauded. At this time, it was supposed to enter the advertising time, but now that the advertising has not been sold, Zhang Fan quickly moved on to the next topic.
This episode of the show is very important, and whether it can attract a large number of viewers depends on whether the cannon is loud. Zhang Fan hopes that all the challengers can go further, and it would be better if they could win the grand prize of one million. Because this is how to attract the enthusiasm of the audience.
"It's a geography question. Zhang Fan looked at the computer screen in front of him, "There are many lakes in China, with different sizes and sizes. Excuse me, which is the fifth largest lake in China? ”
"A, Taihu Lake. B,,Nest.Lake. D, Hong Zehu. Please select. ”
'Wow~~~' The audience at the scene once again let out a low noise. It's not an easy topic!
It is not so difficult to say that it is the largest lake, but it is difficult to accurately rank the fifth lake. Most of the viewers in front of the TV were also embarrassed, because most of them didn't know either.
At this time, Zhao Chengdong's face showed a smile.
"Cheng Dong, this is the answer?" Zhang Fan raised his eyebrows and asked curiously.
"Hmm!" Zhao Chengdong nodded vigorously, "I was the representative of the geography class when I was in middle school. ”
"Wow~~~" There was a noise at the scene again.
"So you know the answer to this question?" Zhang Fan also laughed.
"At that time, the exam required you to write down five freshwater lakes that were the five. Zhao Chengdong began his own memories: "Because I am the class representative, I know more about this aspect. Know that this is a trap question. ”
The scene once again resounded with a clamour. Is this a trap?
"What do you say?" Zhang Fan asked quietly.
"Everyone knows the Great Lakes, and the normal way of thinking is to choose the fifth largest lake. Zhao Chengdong replied with a smile: "That's what I wrote at the time." Later, after the exam paper came down, I realized that this was asking about the area of lakes in China. And not the ranking of the Great Lakes. The five great lakes in China are all freshwater lakes, but the largest Qinghai Lake is a saltwater lake! Therefore, the correct answer is not Chaohu Lake, but Hongze Lake!"
"Congratulations, you got it right!" Zhang Fan's words made many viewers who thought that the answer was C, and Chaohu was stunned. I actually forgot about Qinghai Lake.
"Cheng Dong has answered four questions correctly, and the bonus has accumulated to 30,000 yuan. Zhang Fan turned to look at the audience around him, and said with a smile, "Everyone cheer for Chengdong!"
"Papapa~~~ The scene once again burst into warm applause, this kind of thing to win money by answering questions is so interesting.
"Okay, now on to question five. After an advertising time slot was skipped, Zhang Fan smiled and signaled the scene to be quiet, and continued to start the Q&A, "This is a sports question." At the Los Angeles Olympics, the Chinese delegation won 15 gold medals. So how many bronze medals did the Chinese delegation win at the Los Angeles Olympics?"
"A, eight. B,,10 pieces. D, eleven. ”
This is not only Zhao Chengdong, but also the audience at the scene and the audience in front of the TV are dumbfounded.
The Olympics are indeed a high-profile event, but in general, everyone pays attention to the number of gold medals, and very few people care about silver and bronze medals. And the question is actually about the Los Angeles Olympics. It's been so many years, who knows?
Zhao Chengdong was obviously also asked. A look of hesitation. This kind of obscure knowledge is really hard to answer. There are still people who will pay attention to the gold medal, but if the silver medal is still a bronze medal, hehe~~~
"It's a bit of a difficult question. Zhang Fan nodded slightly, "Does Chengdong have an answer now?"
Many viewers in front of the TV have complained, this is still called a bit difficult? This is too difficult, okay! If you are not a professional, who will pay attention to this kind of knowledge?!
"The jackpot for this question is $100,000. Zhang Fan continued to stir up the atmosphere, "If you answer correctly, you will be able to get a bonus of 100,000 yuan." But if you answer incorrectly, you can only get the 30,000 yuan bonus accumulated before and leave. Do you know the answer?"
Hesitation, hesitation, doubt, unwillingness. All kinds of looks kept flashing on Zhao Chengdong's face. In the end, Zhao Chengdong sighed and shook his head, "I don't know." ”
The audience sighed as if they were empathetic. It's a difficult question.
"Chengdong, you still have a chance to ask for help. Zhang Fan said softly: "You can choose to get rid of the two wrong answers." Do you want to use it now?"
"I use help. Zhao Chengdong really didn't know how to answer. Unwilling to fail, he chose to use the last chance to ask for help.
After all, even if you go to Mongolia, the chance of choosing one in two is better than a quarter of it.
After Zhao Chengdong chose to use the two wrong answers, the options of A, eight and D, and eleven on the computer screen disappeared. There are only two options left: B and C.
Now Zhao Chengdong's three requests for help have been exhausted. Zhang Fan whispered to the camera lens, "Will he be able to move on to the next round, or will it be over?" The final choice is here. ”
Zhang Fan subconsciously wanted to say that he would insert advertisements now, and then continue to watch Zhao Chengdong's next choice after he came back. But fortunately, he remembered that there were no advertisements yet, so he hurriedly closed the topic: "Now there are two choices in front of Zhao Chengdong." Is it B, or is it C?"
The scene was quiet, and it could be called a pin drop. This question is more difficult than you think. If the previous call for help is still there, this question is still easy to say. But now that all the options have been used up, Zhao Chengdong can only rely on Meng.
This is not only the gap between 30,000 yuan and 100,000 yuan, but also a key step in whether you can continue to win the million-dollar jackpot!
"Me. Zhao Chengdong's voice trembled a little, "I choose B, nine!"
