Chapter 163: "Millionaire"

Liang Jinling, under the leadership of Ye Xiaolong, walked to the 18th floor of Jiayi TV Station with Xiaomi, and sat down on the backstage of the hall of the second recording factory, where the live variety show "Millionaire" was being recorded.

Jiayi TV, which has just changed to advanced color shooting equipment, has canceled the brain-dead education order under the pressure of Shen Bi in the senior class of HSBC, and the ratings of the TV series filmed have also increased by 10% from less than 1%, but it still can't compare with TVB and Li's TV station.

In order to increase the ratings, Liang Jinling plagiarized the quiz game show "Millionaire", which later became a sensation around the world.

"Millionaire" is a variety show with up to 45% of the ratings broadcast by Hong Kong Asia Television since 2001, and TVB's "Happy Tonight" and "Invincible Leader" are the three highest-rated ace variety shows in Hong Kong history.

In that year, ATV bought the rights to "Millionaire" from the British Independent Television (ITV) for 50 million Hong Kong dollars, and Chan Kai-tai hosted the show. The first episode began to be broadcast on ATV in 2001 and aired on Mondays, Wednesdays and Fridays.

As for why you don't plagiarize the popular variety shows in Taiwan, Japan, South Korea, and mainland China in later generations, such as "Guess I'm Guessing", "Happy Camp", "Kangxi is Coming" and other girls' programs, it is because Hong Kong is a metropolis, with a population of only a pitiful 6 million, and the ratings are as high as 40%, and there are only 2 million viewers, so programs and TV series must please mass audiences of all ages.

The mainland, Japan, South Korea, and Taiwan have a relatively large population, like the very popular variety show "Happy Camp", with a pitiful 2% rating, but with a huge population of 1.3 billion in the mainland, 30 million girls have gone to watch "Happy Camp", and "Kangxi is Coming" has a 10% rating in Taiwan, and 3 million girls have watched it.

In Hong Kong, copying "Super Girl" and "If You Are Honest, Do Not Disturb" are girls' star-chasing variety shows, the highest ratings will definitely not exceed 10%, and the ratings are lower than 10%, which is simply looking for death, look at ATV's ratings in 2016 are too low to renew and go out of business.

In the same way, Hong Kong's TV dramas and movies rarely shoot those car accidents, amnesia, cancer, tearing, and comparing romance TV stations, youth love, and literary movies. There are only many popular costumes, comedies, and kung fu films, because the population base is small, and there are few young men and women chasing stars. The decline of Hong Kong films and music in later generations is not only due to the economic recession. The aging of the population is strict, and it is also an important reason for the downturn in the entertainment industry, there are no girls to chase stars, and it is useless for you to praise more stars.

Today happens to be Saturday, and TVB is broadcasting the popular celebrity and civilian interactive variety show "Happy Tonight". It attracted a large number of female viewers and star chasers. Li's TV station is also broadcasting live six, he, and cai programs, attracting those gamblers in Hong Kong.

In the past, the two giants divided more than 90% of the audience in Hong Kong, and today Jiayi TV, which has been preparing for a month, officially launched the quiz game show "Millionaire" of "Knowledge is Wealth", asking those Hong Kong viewers who are poorer than those who want to make a windfall all day long to grab it and fight a tough battle with TVB.

For the first ratings turnaround battle in the history of Jiayi TV, Jiayi TV has been advertising in major newspapers in Hong Kong for several weeks, and the news department and advertising department of Jiayi TV have also made several advertisements, and this kind of carpet bombing advertisement has quickly attracted the attention of all Hong Kong people.

Just answer a few questions and you can get 1 million Hong Kong dollars. There is nothing so cheap in the world. With suspicious thoughts, many Hong Kong people did not watch TVB's "Happy Tonight" and Li's TV's six, hop and color programs, but also watched this "Millionaire" quiz game with curiosity.

"Hahaha, good evening to the audience in Hong Kong, I, Huang Xiaozhan, am very happy to meet you again. Welcome to Jiayi TV's quiz game show "Millionaire", everyone sees the pile of money behind me, isn't it very exciting. ”

It was Liang Jinling's cheap master Huang Xiaozhan who spoke, he used to be a variety show host with Xu Xijie in TVB, so he spoke his lines very smoothly.

I saw Huang Xiaozhan walk to the pile of money on the table behind him, and picked up a pile with a lot of English printed on it. Hong Kong dollars, several times larger than the Hades currency (Hong Kong only released Hong Kong dollars in Chinese after 84 years), seduced and confused the audience in front of the TV set in front of the camera: "Look, this money is real, not to lie to you." The money has just been withdrawn from HSBC, and you can see that the two security guards with the money next to me are both HSBC security guards. ”

Huang Xiaozhan patted the security guard with a gun next to him, and continued to tempt and confuse the audience: "Then don't lie to you, do you want to be the million, if you want to, remember to sign up for our TV station's game show." A million prizes await you. ”

"Wow." One million cash in front of their eyes, the impact is still very great, many poor viewers who watch Jiayi TV, looking at the pile of money in front of the TV, are thinking and ready to move, if these are their own good, one million, you can buy a small villa in Hong Kong.

After brainwashing the audience in front of the TV, Huang Xiaozhan returned to his host position and continued to speak his lines: "Okay, although I have been doing advertising for so many days, I still have to talk about the rules of the game, everyone sees that there are ten randomly selected contestants in front of me." ”

"See." The audience in the audience nodded their heads.

"This game is very simple, I first ask a very simple question, the ten pre-selected contestants must rush to answer, who can answer correctly, can participate in the next competition. There are ten questions on the screen behind me, which are astronomy, geography, Chinese, English, mathematics, history, physics, chemistry, biology, and customs, and the contestants choose the questions to answer. ”

"There are 3 opportunities for contestants to cheat, the first is to have a bag with answers, second, there is a chance to call someone they know for help, and the third is a chance to listen to the opinions of the audience. Contestants who answer a question correctly will be rewarded with 100 yuan, and the contestant can have the right to choose not to answer and quit with the prize, or they can continue to challenge the next question, but they must bet the prize money up to draw the challenge. If you answer the second question correctly, you will be rewarded with 200 yuan, and if you answer incorrectly, you will be confiscated all the prizes."

"Bet 300 yuan to draw the question, answer the third question correctly, reward 500 yuan, and confiscate all the bonuses if you answer incorrectly. Bet 800 dollars to draw questions. If you answer the fourth question correctly, the prize is 1,000 yuan. If you answer the fifth question correctly, the prize is 2,000 yuan, and if you answer the sixth question correctly. The prize is 5,000 yuan, and the prize is 20,000 yuan for answering the seventh question correctly, and 50,000 yuan for answering the eighth question correctly. If you answer the ninth question correctly, the prize is 100,000 yuan. ”

"And so on, if you answer all ten questions correctly, you can get 1 million cash behind me, but all the prizes will be forfeited if the contestant answers any question incorrectly, and all contestants can choose not to continue playing from the fourth question. Then we will start from the remaining 9 pre-selected contestants and start anew. Everyone understands the rules. After Huang Xiaozhan finished speaking, he asked the audience.

"Got it." The audience in the audience nodded their heads.

"Okay, I'll start to make pre-selection questions, and the ten pre-selected contestants in the audience will listen up. Who are the four great talents in Hong Kong? Please raise your hands and answer. Huang Xiaozhan looked at the audience after reading.

The ten pre-selected contestants in the audience scrambled to raise their hands.

"You, that young lady, you raised your hand the fastest, please answer." Huang Xiaozhan pointed to a girl with eye sockets and asked her to answer.

"Hong Kong's four talents are Huang Xiaozhan, Ni Xiaokuang, Jin Yong, and Cai Xiaolan." The girl with the sockets in her eyes replied excitedly and loudly.

"Haha, okay, congratulations, miss, you got it right. Please come up. Huang Xiaozhan walked over with a big smile and pulled the girl with eyes to the stage.

"Wow, isn't this the Ah Hua of the house next door?" Some viewers in front of the television recognized the girl.

"Miss, before the game starts. Can you introduce yourself to the audience in front of the TV? Huang Xiaozhan and the other girls sat opposite him, and asked the girl who was playing tricks to pour a glass of juice, handed it to the girl, and asked into the microphone.

"Yes, Uncle Zhan. Hello everyone, my name is Huang Xiaohua, I am a Form 4 student at Hong Kong Maria Girls' High School, and my family lives in Mong Kok. "The girl was polite to the camera and greeted the audience.

"Then, Ah Hua, let's start the quiz game, you pick the question first, here are ten questions, you have to answer the question first." Huang Xiaozhan pointed to the envelope hanging on the screen and asked Huang Xiaohua.

"Well, I'll choose Chinese first."

"Okay, Chinese." Huang Xiaozhen took the Chinese question, took a picture of the camera, opened the envelope, looked at the question and asked Huang Xiaohua: "This question is the bright moonlight in front of the bed, excuse me, what is the next sentence, A, two pairs of shoes under the bed, B, bow your head and think of your hometown, C, suspected frost on the ground, D, look up at the bright moon." ”

"Suspected frost on the ground." Such a simple question, Huang Xiaohua's answer blurted out.

"Okay, congratulations, you answered correctly, and you got a hundred dollars." Huang Xiaozhan put down the topic and instructed the girl who was running tricks to take out a hundred yuan from the pile of money and bring it to Huang Xiaohua.

Huang Xiaohua excitedly took the hundred yuan in her hand, and she didn't expect to get a hundred yuan just by answering a simple question.

"Ah Hua, next please put the hundred yuan in your hand on the table, you want to choose the topic, you choose that question, I want to remind you, you had better choose the type you are familiar with to answer, otherwise you will confiscate the bonus in your hand if you answer wrong." Huang Xiaozhan reminded her with a smile.

"I choose math."

"Okay." Huang Xiaozhan opened the envelope of mathematics, and then asked loudly: "Listen, this question is, 400X250Γ·80-333+255=How much?" A、1168,B、1265,C、1210,D、1172。 ”

"Ahh Huang Xiaohua was dumbfounded, so many numbers, she could do the math there.

When the audience in front of the TV heard this, they hurriedly took the computer in their hands to calculate the problem.

"Ah Hua, you won't answer, you have 3 chances to cheat, you can choose one." Huang Xiaozhan was dumbfounded when she saw Huang Xiaohua, and hurriedly reminded her.

"yes, I didn't think of that." Huang Xiaozhan secretly regretted it.

"Then which cheating opportunity do you choose?"

"I'm going to call." Huang Xiaohua thought about it, but still felt that it was cost-effective to rescue the math teacher.

"Okay, there's a phone next to you, you can dial for help." Huang Xiaozhan pointed to the phone next to Huang Xiaohua to remind her which microphone was connected to the microphone.

"Toot toot." Huang Xiaohua picked up the phone and dialed her math teacher's number.

"Hey, yes, flowers?" A middle-aged man's voice came from the other side, and because the microphone was connected, the audience in front of the TV could hear it.

"Yes, Mr. Zhou, I want you to do me a favor." Huang Xiaohua held the microphone. Hurriedly asked the teacher for help.

"Ah Hua, I'm watching 'Millionaire' too. Which answer is D, you just choose D. Teacher Zhou was also anxious, and hurriedly said the answer.

"Okay. Thank you, Mr. Zhou, if I win a million, I will invite you to dinner. Huang Xiaohua happily hung up the phone.

"Haha, Ah Hua. Did you pick that answer? ”

"I believe in my teacher, I choose D."

"Haha, congratulations, you've chosen the right one."

Bang, the audience burst into applause.

"Ah Hua, you can't play anymore." Huang Xiaozhan handed her the 200 yuan bonus, stared at Huang Xiaohua and asked with a smile.

"Of course I play, I still have 2 more chances to cheat." Of course Huang Xiaohua wants to play, anyway, all this money is won, and she doesn't feel distressed if she loses. She threw the three hundred yuan in her hand on the table to continue the challenge.

"Okay, please choose your topic."

"This time, I'll choose English."

"Okay, listen to the question. What does the Thriller in the English album "Thriller" of singer Liang Jinling's English album "Thriller" mean, A is scared, B, is trembling、、。 ”

Before Huang Xiaozhan finished reading, Huang Xiaohua of the star chaser clan replied first: "B, it's trembling." ”

"Congratulations, Ah Hua, you got it right."

Taking the five hundred Hong Kong dollars in her hand, Huang Xiaohua jumped twice excitedly. She's passed three levels. Eight hundred yuan, which is almost a semester's tuition.

"Woo. Smack. The audience also clapped and screamed with excitement, as if they had passed five levels and killed six generals.

"Ah Hua, I can't play yet." The host Huang Xiaozhan had to stop Huang Xiaohua from jumping around.

"Play. Keep playing. "Huang Xiaohua saw that the money came so easily, and continued to challenge." This time I choose history. ”

"Okay, please listen to the question, which of the following emperors is not the emperor of the Qing Dynasty, A, Qianlong, B, Kangxi. C, Yongle, D, Xianfeng, please answer. ”

"Ahh Huang Xiaohua was dumbfounded, she was semi-historically blind.

In the audience, a murmur soon sounded, and Huang Xiaozhan hurriedly raised his middle finger in his mouth and shook it to the audience: "Be quiet." ”

"How about it, Ah Hua, it's time to answer, which one do you choose?" Huang Xiaozhan saw that Huang Xiaohua was still thinking, and hurriedly reminded her. "If you can't, you can choose to cheat."

"Oh, I'll cheat, I'm going to listen to the audience." Huang Xiaohua is smarter and saves the tips for the end.

"Okay, let's hear from the audience." Huang Xiaozhan pointed the camera at the audience.

Soon most of the audience gave the answer and held up the sign in their hand, most of which were C. Even Liang Jinling, Yiyi, and Ye Xiaolong, who were sitting in the back, all held up the C sign.

"Ah Hua, the audience's opinion is C, do you want to accept their proposal."

"I believe in them, I choose C."

"Really, you're sure." Huang Xiaozhan scared her with a serious face.

"Oh, me, me." Seeing Huang Xiaozhan's face, Huang Xiaohua hesitated a little and was very nervous. In the end, I made up my mind, "Yes, I'm sure, I'll choose C." ”

"Congratulations, you're right."

"Whew." Huang Xiaohua was almost frightened, and only then did she relax when she heard that she had answered correctly.

"Ah Hua, you already have 1,800 yuan in your hand now, you can't play anymore, the next question, if you challenge, if you answer correctly, it will be a bonus of 2,000 yuan." Huang Xiaozhan continued to seduce and bewitch her. If this little girl doesn't play, how can the ratings of this show go up.

"Go on. Go on. "The audience watching Jiayi TV is watching more and more, and countless relatives and friends are calling to inform people they know to watch "Millionaire". They saw Huang Xiaohua's hesitation, but they were shouting loudly to encourage Huang Xiaohua to play.

"I'll play." Huang Xiaohua remembered that she still had a trick, and she could win another 2,000 yuan with that trick.

"Okay, please choose your topic."

Soon half an hour passed, the sixth to eighth were very simple, Huang Xiaohua answered it correctly, she used a trick bag to cheat on the ninth question, and answered a chemistry question. Huang Xiaohua has answered 9 questions correctly, and there is 178,800 yuan in cash in front of her.

"Haha, Ah Hua, you have won 178,800 yuan in cash now, and there are 821,200 yuan in the back, you only have to challenge the last geography question, and the more than 820,000 yuan in the back is yours, you can't play it anymore." Huang Xiaozhan continued to seduce and bewitch her.

Huang Xiaohua excitedly held the more than 170,000 yuan in her hand, she had never seen so much money when she was so big, 170,000 yuan, she could buy a mansion of several hundred square meters. Whether to play or not, Huang Xiaohua hesitated, it was 170,000, if she lost, her father would not kill her when she returned home.

"Go on, go on." The audience who watched the play was more excited than Huang Xiaohua, and they stood up and screamed wildly. There is only one last multiple-choice question left, and there is a one-in-four chance, and if you get it right, you will be a millionaire.

Seeing that Huang Xiaohua was about to retreat and stop playing, Huang Xiaozhan was anxious, and hurriedly continued to seduce and confuse her, "Haha, Ah Hua, there is only one last question left, even if you get the geography question, you won't, there is a quarter chance." What are you afraid of, if you change it to me, you must fight hard, anyway, this money is won, and if you lose, it should be a dream. ”

Huang Xiaohua looked at the excited and screaming audience under the stand, and finally couldn't stand the agitation, and finally chose to continue the challenge.

"Okay, so let's see what this last question is. Ah Hua, listen well, the longest river in China is, A, the Yellow River, B, the Pearl River, C, the Hei, the Long, the River, and the D, the Yangtze River. Ah Hua, please answer. ”

As soon as Huang Xiaozhan asked, the audience in front of the TV grabbed their children and asked them for answers, and many people picked up the books in their hands to check the answers.

"Me, me." Huang Xiaohua's brain was confused, she was geographically illiterate, she had never heard of the Yellow River, Hei, Long, and Jiang, but she knew the Pearl River estuary.

Countless viewers in front of the TV excitedly shouted that it was D, choose D.

"It's almost time, Ah Hua, it's time for you to answer."

"I, I choose D Yangtze River." Huang Xiaohua was also excited, and she was blindfolded.

"Oh, why?" Huang Xiaozhan saw that she was so nervous, so he teased her.

"My mother and father were born by the Yangtze River before, and I have never heard of the Yellow River, Hei, Long, or Jiang, and the Pearl River is impossible, so I'll try to choose the Yangtze River." Huang Xiaohua nervously said the chaotic answer.

"Oh, really choose the Yangtze River." Huang Xiaozhan began to scare her.

"Hmm."

"You're sure."

"I, I." Seeing Huang Xiaozhan's smiling face, Huang Xiaohua hesitated, and finally nodded her head sharply, believing in herself. "I'm sure."

"Congratulations, Ah Hua, you got it right. Congratulations on becoming the first millionaire on our show. Huang Xiaozhan stretched out a pair of delicate hands holding Huang Xiaohua, and said with a smile. The hostesses in the back pushed more than 800,000 yuan in front of Huang Xiaohua, "Ah Hua, this million is yours, don't worry, the security guards of HSBC will help you escort you to the bank." ”

"Smack." A burst of dowry resounded and dispersed in the sky above Huang Xiaohua.

"Woo-woo, bang." The audience applauded one after another, and they were more excited than Huang Xiaohua, who won one million.

"Woo." Huang Xiaohua was excited and painful, and her back was covered with sweat. This kind of torment of the difference between the rich and the poor is really too torturous.

Wow, the audience in Hong Kong has exploded, what knowledge is wealth, those primary school students, junior high school students, can really win 1 million, this is easier than buying six, combination, lottery, gambling, horse racing, going to Macau, the money is easier.

That night, Jiayi TV's "Millionaire" game suddenly caused a sensation in Hong Kong, and even in Asia and around the world, countless citizens in Hong Kong grabbed a book to study, ready to sign up to challenge Jiayi TV's millionaire game. There are two opportunities a week, two evenings on Saturday and Sunday. (To be continued.) )
