Extracting skills from movies

However, My Savage Granny is not without its critics.

Although the premiere received good ratings, newspapers had already made sharp criticisms after only one episode was aired.

Compared with the previous "Wulin Waijia" produced by Phoenix TV, "My Savage Granny" appears much rougher in terms of costumes, makeup and props.

Although the costumes of the protagonists are no longer as shabby as those in TVB's previous costume dramas, they still give people a dated feeling.

Especially the male protagonist's outfit, which seems to carry the lonely atmosphere of a prince of the previous dynasty.

What is even more criticized is that a jade hairpin worn by the heroine Myolie Wu was directly criticized by the media.

He pointed out that it was a cheap plastic product, which probably cost less than 15 yuan, and it felt like something sold at a street stall.

As for the plot, there haven’t been too many negative reviews so far.

After all, the first episode mainly introduces the character background and setting, and the real test is yet to come.

Chen Zhiyu is a migrant worker in Hong Kong. He met a new girlfriend outside a concert at the Hong Kong Coliseum some time ago.

The other party is a loyal Sheng fan.

Chen Zhiyu doesn’t care whether his girlfriend is a fan, because no matter what, he will be the one who stays with her in the end.

Although they felt regretful about not being able to buy tickets for Du Sheng's concert, the two gradually got used to watching Phoenix TV programs together.

Apart from anything else, people who are in love can actually enjoy watching those embarrassing plots.

Chen Zhiyu couldn't help laughing at the exaggerated performance on the screen and told his girlfriend a funny story:
"To be honest, if he really came to Hong Kong to pick up girls like this, those short mules would definitely teach him how to write the word 'death'..."

The girlfriend covered her mouth and smiled, but she didn't care about the details. She just wanted to enjoy watching it.

Apart from the fact that he occasionally likes to show off his knowledge, her boyfriend is pretty good in other aspects.

At this moment, the TV screen suddenly made a crackling sound, and then the screen was filled with snow.

The two were stunned for a moment, thinking that there was something wrong with the equipment.

But then, a striking number popped up on the screen——

"1! Bonus!"

The background also changed from black to a large stage filled with cash.

On the brilliant and bright stage of "One Step to the End", the lights are dazzling, the auditorium is packed, and the atmosphere is warm.

The camera zoomed out to a long shot. The host stood in the center of the stage, pointing at the pile of cash, his voice steady and firm:
"Yes, a full million!"

The camera zooms in to reveal a man in a suit with neatly short hair, leading the audience into a modern, high-tech studio.

He wore a pair of glasses, had a handsome and gentle face, appeared calm and confident, and at first glance he looked like a workplace elite.

"Isn't this Chen Qi?"

Chen Zhiyu looked at the man on the screen carefully and was secretly surprised.

"He actually switched to Phoenix TV. I almost didn't recognize him!"

Amid the exciting music, the host slowly said:

“This is a battlefield of knowledge, a peak showdown of wisdom!
Fight till the end! If you answer all the questions correctly, you can win the million-dollar grand prize!

The world's top wisdom competition, see you at 8pm this weekend!
Phoenix TV presents you, "One Step to the End" - let your dreams come true! "

The screen then switches to the registration information:
"Do you dare to challenge me?"

Chen Zhiyu and his girlfriend were stunned, staring at the million-dollar prize on the screen, dazed for a moment.

The girlfriend suddenly kicked Chen Zhiyu lightly:

"Old Chen, you are a master's student at the Chinese University. You know everything about astronomy and geography. Why don't you try this great opportunity to make a fortune?"

"You can get a million if you stand to the end? Who knows if it's true?"

Chen Zhiyu said half-doubtfully.

The last "Who Wants to Be a Millionaire" hosted by ATV also caused quite a stir, but it gradually fell into obscurity due to stale content and declining ratings.

Besides, he was still young at that time and had no chance to participate.

The format and content of this show "One Step to the End" seem quite novel, but I wonder if they really give out one million.

It would be outrageous if you can only redeem sponsored items at that time.

"Huh?! How dare you question my brother Sheng's ability!"

The girlfriend made a strangling gesture and threatened jokingly.

"Okay, okay! I'll call and sign up right now!"

Chen Zhiyu was actually somewhat tempted, after all, it wouldn't cost him a thing to try it.

He simply picked up the phone and dialed the registration number displayed on TV.

Soon, the call was connected and the customer service politely asked:
"Hello, are you a member of the "One Stop to the End" registration?"

"Yes."

Chen Zhiyu replied.

“Thank you for your call. To ensure the quality of your entries, we need you to pass a preliminary screening first.

Please answer the following three questions. If all of them are correct, you will enter the next round of interview and written test. "

Chen Zhiyu frowned, thinking that this process was a bit complicated, but he still asked:
"If you can get to the end, you will get a bonus of 100 million. Are there any other conditions?"

Customer service explained:
“I can briefly introduce the rules to you.

There are 26 contestants in each round. You have 20 seconds to answer each question. If you answer incorrectly, you will not lose time, but the standing board will open and you may fall off...

If the answer is correct, another person will continue to answer and the time will be restarted to 20 seconds.

If there are more than 5 challengers on the field, the challengers have 2 exemptions from answering, and if there are less than 5 challengers, they have 1 exemption from answering.

The contestant needs to defeat other contestants all the way and persevere to the end to become the one who "stands to the end" and win the million-dollar grand prize! "

After hearing this, Chen Zhiyu felt his heart beating.

With his level of knowledge, even if he can't make it all the way, it is not impossible for him to clear all the levels and become the champion.

Sure enough, after the three questions were asked, Chen Zhiyu answered them easily.

"Congratulations, sir, you have successfully entered the next round. Please pay attention to the follow-up notification..."

After hanging up the phone, Chen Zhiyu was in a good mood. He hugged his girlfriend and kissed her:
"Baby, wait for me to earn you a million!"

The next day, every city seemed to be overwhelmed by the publicity for "One Step to the End".

Advertisements for this program are everywhere, in newspapers, subway stations, and bus stops.

Knowledge is wealth. This sentence has become more direct and attractive now.

As long as you stand to the end, you can take away 100 million cash!
Although many people are skeptical about this, thinking it might be just a publicity stunt like How to Be a Millionaire.

But some people are eager to try.

After all, the financial backers behind Phoenix TV are Du Sheng, who is on the rich list, and the daughter of Aoshima, both of whom are wealthy!

Especially those who think they are knowledgeable and top students.

After years of hard work and countless exams, they are naturally confident in taking on the challenges of these exams.

I feel like this is just giving away money!

As a result, the registration hotline kept ringing.

Many people join this intellectual contest with the mentality of "I won't be cheated if I give it a try, what if it really works?"

.........

TVB, Office of the Chief Producer.

Several core members of the Zeng family were sitting in the room.

They were enthusiastically discussing Phoenix TV's latest program "One Step to the End".

"Everyone, what do you think of this new program on Phoenix TV?"

Zeng Lizhen asked.

A producer responded first:

"Mr. Zeng, I think this seems like a whimsical attempt."

“Who would like to be asked to stand and answer questions while watching an entertainment program?
Being tortured by teachers during school was already a headache.”

Another colleague added:

“Yes, the TV series “How to Be a Millionaire” launched by ATV five years ago also caused a sensation, but now it is still a mess.

Audiences watch variety shows at home on weekends to relax, and such quiz shows are likely to make people feel burdened. ” Other producers also expressed their opinions:

"Mr. Zeng, although the 100 million prize does attract attention, the trap of "Millionaire" is in front of it. I personally think it is difficult for it to really capture the hearts of the citizens..."

Listening to her subordinates' analysis, Zeng Lizhen felt that these views were indeed reasonable.

Entertainment programs are supposed to be light-hearted and enjoyable, but a program that focuses on answering questions seems to go against this original intention.

She originally thought that the recent hit dramas had won Phoenix TV a lot of popularity, and the other party would focus on consolidating this advantage.

No one expected that after a drama of Phoenix TV suffered a setback, it chose to make another bold move.

Open up new areas in a highly competitive market and concentrate resources to promote a new self-made variety show.

This move was obviously beyond her expectations.

However, having suffered a loss before, Zeng Lizhen did not dare to take it lightly and said in a deep voice:

"This Saturday's "Continue to Be Invincible Award Winner" invited Wang Lihong to interact with several leading actors of "My Savage Granny" to ensure that the publicity is in place and attract the audience's attention.

At the same time, you should also pay close attention to the development of "One Stop to the End" and understand what Phoenix TV is planning..."

Read the error-free version at 69shuba! 6=9+shu_ba is the first to publish this novel.

Through this event, not only can Wang Lihong's popularity be used to increase the number of viewers, but it can also indirectly compete with "One Step to the End".

At the same time, it can also increase the ratings of "My Savage Granny".

It can be said to serve multiple purposes.

Although Wang Lihong suffered a setback some time ago, he has made frequent comebacks recently and his popularity in Neon, Hong Kong and other places has recovered well.

If the other party wants to expand their publicity points, they will definitely not miss this opportunity.

As one of TVB's most popular variety shows in recent years, "Continue to Be an Invincible Prize Master" has won the love of many fans with its unique game segments and funny interactions with stars.

What's more, this variety show is a modified version of "Happy Invincible Prize Master", and is still hosted by Zeng Zhiwei, Qian Jiale, and Lin Xiaofeng, with a huge fan base.

In order to continue to expand its advantage, TVB has also increased its publicity.

It was announced that on Saturday night, Wang Lihong will participate in "Continue to Be Invincible" with popular artists such as Xuan Xuan and Myolie Wu to take on various interesting challenges.

The next day, Phoenix TV naturally refused to give in and announced that it had invited Simon Yam and his wife to participate in the challenge of "One Step to the End".

He also promised that as long as you pass the level successfully, you can take away a bonus of 100 million yuan on the spot.

As soon as this news came out, it immediately attracted widespread attention.

Many people are curious whether Ren Dahua can really make a million.

With the two TV stations making continuous moves, the audience is full of anticipation for this showdown.

Especially Phoenix TV, the aftermath of the previous "Voice of the East" has not yet died down, and its own variety show has taken over.

Is this a sign of confidence, or an overly risky move?
Regardless, the competition has certainly sparked popular interest, and television ratings have generally risen.

Amid the clamor of online public opinion, the "One Step to the End" team has been busy preparing for a new episode.

Du Sheng kept his promise and quickly returned to Hong Kong after finishing the promotion in mainland China. He also called Ren Dahua and his wife and guest star Fan Bingbing.

In addition, Cheng Long also joined this special recording!

During this summer vacation, Jackie Chan's "The Myth" and Du Sheng's "SPL" are competing against each other.

But looking at it from another angle, this is also increasing the popularity of this period.

Just like the "A World Without Thieves" VS "Kung Fu" during the Lunar New Year period, it directly attracted the audience's attention, and the box office not only did not decrease but increased.

Of course, the premise of all this is that the movie is good enough.

Both parties are confident in their own movies, and this early PK on the show can be regarded as an alternative and rare publicity opportunity.

The program crew was very excited about this.

After all, inviting four big stars, including Cheng Long, Simon Yam, Du Sheng and Fan Bingbing, to perform on the same stage is the most luxurious guest lineup since the launch of "One Step to the End".

Although the first episode was quite popular and had a viewership of 28%, it lacked gimmicks.

Here it comes, Extreme Focus!

Any one of these four people is enough to support the content of several episodes, so a single episode is obviously not enough.

In order to ensure the quality of the program, the production team worked overtime and carefully prepared every detail.

On the day of recording, the program team invited a group of students from Hong Kong University as live audience.

As it was a short notice, the students had no idea about the content of the program and the guest list.

When they saw Cheng Long, Ren Dahua, Du Sheng and Fan Bingbing appear on the stage at the same time, they instantly burst into warm cheers, as if they were in a dream.

For host Chen Qi and his team, this is an exciting yet challenging moment.

Faced with such important guests, it is a difficult problem to present the best effect within a limited time.

Fortunately, Cheng Long and Ren Dahua are both experienced veterans.

Although they had never participated in this kind of quiz show before, they had seen pigs run even if they had not eaten pork.

What's more, this issue is a special album, with question challenges and interactive Q&A becoming the theme.

So, at the beginning they could still control it easily.

But after the round-robin competition, Cheng Long was a little stretched.

The rule of this round is to freely select challengers from the remaining 8 contestants to compete in the PK, and finally decide the champions of Group A and Group B.

Then proceed to the ultimate PK.

After all, Cheng Long and Ren Dahua were not as knowledgeable as those smart college students and failed to become the champions.

However, as seniors in the industry, they are not too bothered by this aspect.

When they fell into the pit at the end, there were some exaggerated jokes, which added to the fun of the show.

Although Fan Bingbing had always been secretly cared for by Du Sheng, she still couldn't make it to the end.

In the end, Du Sheng managed to save the artist group's face by relying on his enhanced qualities and the skill "Flash of Inspiration LV3/Blue".

Win the final victory.

Although the college students lost, they were convinced and cheered wildly.

Some sheng fans even screamed and seemed to be so happy that they almost flew up.

This show is so worth it!

Because this time the idol conquered them with his strength alone, not his works, temperament or looks.

In addition, Du Sheng generously donated the million-dollar prize to the "Huabang" organization for charitable purposes.

How could such a perfect idol not be worthy of their pursuit?

After the program was recorded, the station had already arranged a publicity plan, focusing on Cheng Long's funny fall into a trap and the scandal between Du Sheng and Fan Bingbing.

Especially after the media exposed the photos of the two walking out of the same hotel, it immediately caused heated discussion.

But soon, Wang Jinhua and "One Step to the End" host Chen Qi came out to clarify.

It was explained that the two of them were staying in a hotel arranged by the program crew because they were recording a program.

This move successfully diverted the public's attention and made the audience pay more attention to the upcoming shows.

As for Cheng Long, he flew to the mainland that night and began a seven-day promotional campaign.

This time, the leading actors of the two films competed against each other in advance, and they were from the same team as "Baby Project". Such a bizarre practice also became the focus of the audience.

Phoenix TV certainly would not miss the opportunity and rushed to produce the program in its later stages.

However, since there were many exciting scenes in the recording, the program team decided to make an exception and divide this special into episodes 1, 2, and 3, to be broadcast on two weekends respectively.

Moreover, from the day when it was confirmed that Cheng Long, Du Sheng and others would participate, Phoenix TV launched an overwhelming publicity campaign.

Use various channels to promote repeatedly.

Cheng Long and Du Sheng already have a lot of fans, and as the trailer unfolds, the discussion has sparked public opinion.

The audience's curiosity was thoroughly aroused.

Even people who don't usually watch Phoenix TV or have never heard of "One Step to the End" have started to inquire about the show's broadcast time, looking forward to seeing it.

As expected, the first episode set a new record in viewership.

Reach 36.5%!

"Continue to Be an Invincible Prize Master", which TVB had high hopes for, was defeated in seconds.

This made Zeng Lizhen and other senior executives not only silent, but also a little doubtful about life.
