So from the beginning of the recording of "Who is a Millionaire", Huang Xizhao personally participated, Mai Dangxiong, Li Chaoxiong, Tu Yongxiong, Xiao Ruoyuan, Xu Xiaoming and others saw that Huang Xizhao attached so much importance to this show, and they often came to the recording site from time to time to watch.

When it was officially ready to be recorded, several high-level executives such as Mai Dangxiong stood in a place where the camera could not shoot and watched the recording process of the entire program.

They also feel that "Who is the Millionaire" will definitely be sought after by the audience when it is broadcast, as the senior management of the TV station, at the same time, several of them are either directors or screenwriters, and their vision is not low, when they saw the planning of this show from Huang Xizhao's hands, they were also very surprised, this is a theme that has never appeared before, the theme is very novel and chic and very close to the public, coupled with the attraction of millions of bonuses, Xiangjiang people must also come to participate one after another.

When it was time for the official recording, Huang Xizhao and several of their senior executives stood in a place where the camera could not shoot and watched the recording process of the entire program.

The host Huang Xizhao chose Bai Yunqin, a famous talented girl in Hong Kong, as the host of the RTHK program, some people call her "Bai Cainu" or "Sister Bai", she is Bai Chongxi's niece and the cousin of Taiwanese writer Bai Xianyong. Bai Yunqin is very knowledgeable, and is regarded as a "talented woman in Xiangjiang" together with Lin Yanni, Yu Cheng, Dina, Shi Nansheng, etc. Bai Yunqin's hosting style highlights two words: "love" and "degree". The so-called "love" is reflected in the fact that her hosting is not limited to herself, and she uses the gap between the contestants answering questions and the judges scoring to ask some brief questions about their experiences, which quickly shortens the distance between the contestants and the audience. The performance of "degree" is the depth of Baiyunqin's own knowledge content and cultural accomplishment. You know, the art of television itself is mass art. Bai Yunqin belongs to the kind of gentle hostess who is kind and seductive, when others can't answer questions, she has to smile and give him some reminders, and tell him that there are several ways to ask for help, and the audience who comes to the show will not look very embarrassed, under her control, it will not collapse, and the show is both warm and challenging.

When Mai Dangxiong and a few people chatted about their expectations in private, they once predicted that "Who is the Millionaire" could grab 20% of the share in the first half of the month, even if it stood firm, if it could reach 30% of the ratings within a month, it would definitely not be bad, it was already a good variety show, after all, it couldn't be pointed to this show and suddenly beat the wireless "Happy Tonight" variety show ace show that couldn't turn over.

The advertising slogan was written by Zhang Junyi, and Zhang Junyi handed over to Huang Xizhao the last page of the planning plan for the show "Who is the Millionaire".

"Do you want to become a millionaire in an instant? Come and participate in the "Who is the Millionaire" quiz show! The world's first large-scale interactive quiz program is looking forward to meeting you at 8 p.m. on Monday! ”

Two days before the start of the program, this advertising slogan was broadcast on Li's TV non-stop, and the indiscriminate bombardment of the advertising slogan made the citizens of Xiangjiang feel full of curiosity. Echoing the TV commercial, Novaya Gazeta also used a genuine report to explain the rules of the game and the non-matching of the prize money in "Who is the Millionaire". Through their understanding of the rules of the show, the citizens of Xiangjiang have seen that the prize money of this show is really one million Hong Kong dollars, and they are full of expectations for "Who is the Millionaire". The newspaper clearly stated that the contestants only need to correctly answer 15 consecutive multiple-choice questions of four choices, and if they can answer all of them correctly, they will receive a huge prize of 1 million Hong Kong dollars.

The ordinary people of Xiangjiang were immediately excited, and at 9 o'clock in the morning, there were several long queues at the door of Li's TV station, and as many as 1,000 people began to line up to sign up for the "Who is a Millionaire" program.

Ordinary people who don't want to get rich overnight, let alone have the opportunity to get 100,000 Hong Kong dollars, even if you don't get 100,000 Hong Kong dollars, you can get 8,000 Hong Kong dollars by answering the fifth question correctly, and if you are lucky, you can get 40,000 Hong Kong dollars by answering the ninth question correctly. In 1980, the average white-collar worker in Hong Kong had a monthly salary of 1,000-2,000 Hong Kong dollars, and 40,000 Hong Kong dollars was close to the salary of a white-collar worker working for two years.

By noon, people's reactions were even stronger, and the phone of Li's TV station was blown up, and more than 5,000 people lined up at the entrance of the TV station, directly blocking the radio channel. Even Huang Xizhao himself did not expect that there would be such a popularity, Huang Xizhao immediately realized the importance of this kind of scene for propaganda, and immediately ordered the TV station to send people to report the scene live, and at the same time notified the newspaper media that could be notified, such news can not only let other reporters get the news, but also maximize the dissemination of Li's TV "Who is a Millionaire" program.

。。。。。。。。。。。。。。。。。。。。。。。。。。。。。。。。。。。

When the time came to 21:30 on the evening of Monday, July 28, 1980, countless people in Xiangjiang immediately tuned to the Chinese channel of Li's TV station, ready to watch the first episode of "Who is a Millionaire", and to see what the problem in the program was, and to see if anyone could take the first one hundred thousand Hong Kong dollars. At the same time, Heungjiang's advertisers also tuned their TV to the Chinese channel of Li's TV to watch the program "Who is the Millionaire" to see if Li's TV hype full of gimmicks is really so full of viewability, once the show is really popular, then they will spend a lot of advertising money.

The positive cast was aimed at Bai Yunqin, who was sitting in the host's position, and there was only a tall silver round table in front of Bai Yunqin, and it was obvious that the opposite position was reserved for the contestants.

Bai Yunqin asked the first contestant to introduce himself, and then entered the formal part of answering the question.

"Let's ask the contestants to listen to the first question, in the film "Senior Brother Out of the Horse" just released in February this year, which of the following actors is the protagonist of the movie: a: Yuan Kui; b: called dragon; C: Hong Jinbao; D: Zhou Runfa, please answer the questions below.

Bai Yunqin nodded lightly and said, and then said: ""Senior Brother Out of the Horse" is directed by Jackie Chan, starring Jackie Chan, Yuan Biao and others, the film tells the story of the senior brother who was bought to deliberately hurt his foot when the junior brother found out, the film was released in February this year, and received a total of 11,026,283 Hong Kong dollars. “。。。。。。” Now that you have answered the question correctly, the prize has accumulated to 40,000 Hong Kong dollars, please ask whether you choose to continue to answer the question, if you answer the following tenth question correctly, you will get a cumulative bonus of 60,000 Hong Kong dollars, if you answer wrong, you can only take away the bonus of 8,000 Hong Kong dollars for the first five questions. Bai Yunqin reminded the player sitting in front of him。。。。。。 The first issue of "Who is the Millionaire" slowly ended in the passage of time, and each contestant received a prize of at least 8,000 Hong Kong dollars.

。。。。。。。。。。。。。。。。。。。。。。。。。。。。。。。。。。。。。。。。。。。。。

The next morning, the whole of Xiangjiang was filled with discussions about "Who is the Millionaire", in the tea restaurant, in the subway, in the office, and even some of the rich ladies were also discussing "Who is the Millionaire".

At 10 o'clock in the morning, Huang Xizhao personally called Zhang Junyi to tell Zhang Junyi that the ratings of yesterday's "Who is a Millionaire" program were as high as 29 percent, although it was lower than TVB's "Happy Tonight", but Li's TV station has not exceeded 20 percent of the ratings for several years, no wonder Huang Xizhao is so excited.
