Chapter 298: Ratings Champion

The "Millionaire" quiz program officially began.

50 lucky viewers, holding their breath, waited for the host to report the topic.

The 1,000 spectators at the scene were also very much looking forward to it, nervously waiting for who would be the final winner. The millions of viewers in front of the TV are even more curious, can the show "Millionaire" really be fair and just, and get bonuses by answering all the questions correctly?

"Well, it's time, it's time to begin! First, this is a history question. Listen to the question - which ancient civilization invented the compass? a, Egypt B, Rome C, India D, China. The answering time is 180 seconds. Begin! Guan Zhilin reported the topic.

The first question is simply too pediatric.

A lot of people in the audience smiled and pressed the button!

"Well, you've made your choice! The correct answer is, d, China! Congratulations, 48 viewers got it right. However, the 17th audience chose Egypt, and the 754th audience chose India, so you can ask, why did you choose this answer? Guan Zhilin took the microphone and asked the two eliminated contestants.

"Choose Egypt, I think Egypt seems to be the oldest civilization!" Audience No. 17 was embarrassed to say, "Ancient Rome is very powerful, basically unified Europe, and even conquered Egypt." I think it's possible for such a powerful empire to invent a compass, right? Audience No. 754 explained.

"Hehe, unfortunately, your answer is wrong, the correct answer is China. As we all know, the compass, papermaking, printing, and gunpowder are the four great inventions of ancient China. Next time, you shouldn't make the mistake of common sense," Xia Chunqiu explained, "Okay, move on to the next question"

Xia Chunqiu took the question that was drawn out and asked: "The second question, may I ask which kind of drama is the unique skill of changing face-a, Peking Opera B, Sichuan Opera C, Cantonese Opera D, Henan Opera"

This second question is a common sense surname question, which tests people's experience in traditional arts.

Most audiences who are familiar with traditional Chinese theatre will naturally know that it is Sichuan Opera.

Even if you have watched Jin Yong's "Smiling Proud Jianghu" and remember the plot in it, you will know that Yu Canghai, the head of the Qingcheng faction, will change his face. And Yu Canghai, the head of the Qingcheng faction, is a Sichuan person, and he can also think that changing his face is a unique skill of Sichuan opera.

Sadly, though, this question eliminated 10 lucky viewers

There were only 38 lucky spectators left.

At this time, all the live audience, as well as the audience in front of the TV, began to get more and more excited.

"Do you know Asia Millionaire's Millionaires?" A young man bragged to a friend.

"What's wrong?" Friends are very strange.

"15 questions, you can get a prize of 1 million. In fact, each of the multiple-choice questions is not complicated, and the difficulty lies in the fact that each question is selected from a variety of genres such as mathematics, natural science, history, geography, biology, and general knowledge. The young man explained, "It's a test of one's knowledge," and "Hehe, I think that if anyone can read an encyclopedia, they will probably be able to cope with this kind of competition," the young man's friend thought.

"Memorize an encyclopedia? Haha, that's right! An authoritative encyclopedia that basically covers most of the common knowledge and common sense. With a good reading of the encyclopedia, it should be possible to answer most of the questions correctly. ”

"15 questions, if you can have 13 of them, are knowledge points in the encyclopedia. So, if you get two ways, you can win and receive a million-dollar prize? ”

"That's right! Next time, if I want to hold "Millionaire" again, I will definitely sign up! ”

The "Millionaire" program was only broadcast for an hour!

But within this hour, it actually attracted 3.5 million markets to watch "Millionaire" on different occasions!

A certain family.

A middle-aged man fantasized: "If I answer 15 questions correctly, I will win a million prizes." Then quit your job, buy three sets of stores, and earn five or six thousand yuan in rent every month, which is enough to support your family! ”

A certain bar.

A young man looked at the TV screen, smoked a cigarette and thought: "The topic of "Millionaire" is too simple, I can do it all, if I am allowed to participate, I will win the prize."

A school.

The teacher instructed the students: "Students, many of the topics in the program "Millionaire" are the knowledge we have explained in the class this semester. If you don't study hard, you'll lose the chance to earn millions! ”

It's finally the end of the show.

Only one lucky viewer who answered all the questions correctly won the prize!

Guan Zhilin smiled and handed the check to a young man: "Congratulations, Mr. Lin Xiao at No. 206." You answered all the questions correctly and won the top prize of the "Millionaire" show - HK$1 million. This is a bearer cheque for HSBC bank deposits that you can withdraw at any time. At this moment, what are your feelings, feelings, and can you share them with our audience? ”

The winner, Lin Xiao, was also inexplicably excited, saying: "I want to thank my parents, teachers, siblings, and our friends. I've loved reading since I was a child, but my family was poor and I couldn't read a lot of books. My parents, for their meager wages, used to buy me cheap second-hand books in bookstores. My teachers, relatives, and friends also gave away a lot of old books when they knew that I liked to read. Thanks to their help, by the time I was 20 years old, my family had a collection of 17,000 books. Through reading, I have a wider range of knowledge than ordinary peopleFinally, thanks to "Millionaire", I would like to thank Asia Television for fulfilling my millionaire dream"

"Don't you thank me?" Guan Zhilin quipped.

"Of course, thank you too, thank you!" Winner Lin Xiao bowed.

With the award ceremony, the entire "Millionaire" program reached **.

The peak rating reached 80%!

The ratings champion program, so easy to create!

———————— presented the big killer of "Millionaire" on ATV, and it immediately won 80% of the ratings!

TVB TV, discussions are flying all over the sky.

"Unbelievable"

"The ratings of a vulgar show like "Millionaire" are so high"

"The aesthetic taste of the audience has degenerated to such an extent?"

"Hey, don't be so sour! If you had thought of this simple and effective idea of increasing ratings earlier, Boss Shao would probably have promoted and reused you! ”

"Speaking of which, if we want to change our TVB to do the "Millionaire" program, Boss Shao will definitely be reluctant to pay a bonus of up to one million!"

Many ace hosts and program planners have been discussing one after another.

Run Run Shaw walked into the office with a crutch on his face: "ATV, "Millionaire"? Hum! One million snatched the ratings champion, which is really cheap! ”

"Why don't we also come up with a "Super Rich" and replicate the model of ATV?" TVB's old courtier Chen Shufen said. Chen Shufen is mainly responsible for artist training at TVB, and serves as the general manager of Huaxing Records.

TVB's star training system has a strong hematopoietic ability, and Chen Shufen also has some credit. Therefore, she is also a character who can talk to Run Run Shaw in TVB.

Run Run Shaw nodded and said, "Good! Isn't it nothing more than imitation of the trend! Shaw Brothers movies have been done before, and now TVB can do the same! ”

Television media, good creative planning, is actually limited.

For example, after the "Miss World" program became popular all over the world, similar beauty contests such as "Miss Universe" and "Miss Hong Kong" were held all over the world.

Asia Television's "Millionaire" program is simple and easy to imitate. Once it becomes popular, it is inevitable that imitators such as "Super Monopoly" and "Lucky Fifty-Two" will emerge.

On August 20, TVB came up with the idea that "Super Millionaire" copied Asia Television's "Millionaire", but the highest prize of "Super Millionaire" was only 800,000, which was a bit more difficult than "Millionaire".

As soon as the "Super Rich" advertisement was published, it quickly attracted many Hong Kong citizens to sign up to participate. Of course, it also earned a lot of ratings for TVB.

However, the voices of criticism are endless.

Many citizens commented: "Isn't this a naked plagiarism of Asia Television's "Millionaire"? ”

"TVB is still going to be shameless?" ""Millionaire" has only been on the air for a week, and TVB has made a plagiarized work of "Super Millionaire"!"

"Forget about plagiarism, the key is to pick the door! The question of "Millionaire" is very simple, and there is a cash prize of 1 million if you answer correctly. But the question of "Super Rich" is very difficult, and if you answer all of them correctly, you can only have a prize of 800,000! ”

Although, in the name of plagiarism.

But when "Superrich" was officially broadcast, it also attracted more than 50% of Hong Kong's ratings. Leading most of the shows in the same time period.

Since the beginning of this year, Hong Kong's TV industry competition has indeed become the focus of attention of Hong Kong citizens.

In the first half of the year, Asia Television launched "Super Girl", and TVB launched "Rookie Singing Contest"! In the second half of the year, ATV launched "Millionaire" again, but TVB followed suit and came up with "Super Millionaire"

And this year's Asian TV series "Chen Zhen", "Family Spring and Autumn" and so on are more powerful. Compared to the 82-year-old TVB TV series, it is more boring.

Therefore, many people have felt: "Asia TV will dominate sooner or later"
