Entertainment tycoon since 83

Chapter 178 I’m really good at it

After the first episode ended and the statistics of the audience share for this time period came out, the people related to ATV's "Who Wants to Be a Millionaire" couldn't help but feel happy.

Thirty percent!

Some viewers who are more informed will definitely ask, why is it only 30%?

But even if it is 30%, I don’t know how long it has been since it happened.

After all, the enemy is TVB's flagship program "Happy Tonight".

In the past, if the ratio was not 19:1, it was considered okay and acceptable. 28:2 was considered a good ratio!
A 30:70 split is pretty good!
The key is that this show has just been premiered!

The first broadcast was 30% successful, what about after that?

Can it be higher?
Will it surpass "Happy Tonight"?
If they can really suppress TVB's flagship program, then ATV will have made a big splash this time!
In the office, Liang Shuyi gasped in surprise when she saw the relevant statistics, and couldn't help but look in the direction of Huang Ze's office.

I felt quite emotional.

He is indeed a director who can create various types of films that are acclaimed both domestically and internationally!
Just pick up a project and you will get this effect.

He is indeed a capable person!
Liang Shuyi suddenly became more confident in the two TV script outlines written by Huang Ze.

……

After a week of preparation, the show "Who Wants to Be a Millionaire" reached its climax on Saturday night of the second week.

A master's student studying at CUHK felt that those programs were too easy after seeing a program that paid a lot of money for answering questions.

It’s okay for me to fuck you!

He usually likes to read various types of miscellaneous books. Coupled with his good memory, he knows a lot about astronomy and geography, and ancient and modern humanities. Although his depth may not be very high, his breadth is definitely enough.

So I signed up for the program.

The first ten questions were answered in seconds.

Question 12 was answered correctly after eliminating incorrect answer options.

Because the 14th question involved mathematics, which he was least familiar with, he sought help from outside the class. After calling a professor in the mathematics department, he successfully answered the question.

"Contestant, you have successfully answered fourteen questions correctly, and your prize money has accumulated to 100,000 Hong Kong dollars! If you give up now, you can leave with 100,000 Hong Kong dollars."

"If you continue to answer questions, you may only be able to leave with the second insurance prize. Of course, you may also take home a million-dollar prize."

"Please tell me your choice."

Many viewers in front of the TV held their breath and watched the TV with excitement.

At this moment, they also asked themselves a question in their hearts.

If that person were you, what would you choose?
The program certainly doesn't want to take out one million Hong Kong dollars, so they will definitely come up with a very difficult question.

It would be better to just take the 100,000 Hong Kong dollars and leave.

One hundred thousand yuan! It's not a small amount.

"My family's income is not bad, so continue answering the questions!"

In fact, the program team had already discussed it before he made his choice.

Even Leung Suk-yi was backstage.

In order to create a sensational effect, if the contestant continues to answer questions, he will choose a question that seems difficult to most people, but in fact has a high probability of being answered correctly by this contestant.

Let him take the one million and truly create a millionaire, a wealth myth, and completely make the name of "Who Wants to Be a Millionaire" famous!

So, the topic has actually been selected.

The host, who knew the topic through the prompt, began to ask, "Among the following celebrities, whose full name is the longest after being translated into Chinese!"

"A. Picasso, B. Tolstoy, C. Mendeleev, D. Winston Churchill."

"You have sixty seconds."

"Choose A!" the guest affirmed.

"Are you sure?" The host began to guide him, while also guiding the audience's emotions, "If you answer incorrectly, not only will you not get the one million, you will also lose the 100,000 Hong Kong dollars."

"I'm sure." The guest was happy. "I admit that I guessed the first two questions correctly, but I really know this one, I'm sure, choose A!" "Congratulations, the answer is correct, Picasso can reach 75 words after translation!"

"You have received our one million Hong Kong dollar grand prize tonight!"

"Congratulations, you're a young millionaire!" The host extended his hand.

At the same time, a person came up with a magnified check sign and handed it to the guest who answered all fifteen questions correctly.

Countless viewers were staring at the string of zeros above.

One, ten, hundred, thousand, ten thousand, hundred thousand, million!
I'm hanging.

It really is one million!
Many viewers had tears in their eyes.

This thing is great! It's better than spinach. You don't even have to invest any capital, and you can make money out of thin air.

I want to sign up too.

If that young man can get one million, there is no reason why I can’t get it!
Without spending a penny, just using his brain and mouth, it took less than half an hour to answer the questions, and finally he successfully won one million.

The next day, newspapers that were worried about the lack of hot news began to publicize this incident.

Since Huang Ze was willing to give up the one million bonus, he was also willing to pay the reporters' writing fees and the newspaper's kickbacks.

Many newspapers even put it on the front page headlines.

The dream of getting rich overnight has touched the hearts of many people in Hong Kong Island.

The appearance of the millionaire attracted more people to watch the third episode after the second episode.

The subsequent statistics showed that the audience share was 45%!
It almost occupies half of the market and competes with TVB's flagship program.

For a while, the newspapers that received the money also praised Huang Ze, the new boss.

"It is reported that the idea of ​​this variety show came from ATV's new boss Huang Ze. When we were all looking forward to what method he would use to open up the situation, he used an idea to achieve a major counterattack against TVB and achieved certain results. It depends on how Uncle Shaw responds."

Shao Yifu naturally knew the power of this program.

Many of my subordinates even suggested that TVB should also have a quiz show.

This made Shao Yifu feel a little distressed.

One million!
Just let others make money like that?
Isn’t that a pity?
And if I also follow suit and produce a program of the same type, wouldn't outsiders think that I am afraid of ATV?

It's not good to be afraid before the battle!
Anyway, it's just a weekly program and it won't affect the overall situation. In other time periods, ATV is still under infinite pressure. It's better to just sit back and do nothing!

"That young man must be secretly happy right now!"

After making the decision not to move for the time being, Run Run Shaw glanced in the direction of ATV.

……

In fact, he was wrong.

Huang Ze was not very happy.

Instead, I feel a little depressed.

One million has been given away, but it still hasn't surpassed Infinity. It seems that there is still a long way to go to surpass TVB!

But don’t be in a hurry, take it slow, and chip away at it step by step, and you will succeed eventually!
This show is off to a good start.

The future is promising, the future is promising!

Feeling relieved, Huang Ze temporarily stopped caring about ATV's affairs.

"Once Upon a Time in China" will be released on the 20th.

The post-production work for the second part, "A Man Should Be Self-reliant", is still in progress.

Gotta speed up the process.

Compared to TV, it is obvious that the films directed by yourself are more important!

In addition to directing the staff to carry out post-production, Huang Ze appeared in the cinema again on the 20th to attend the premiere of "Once Upon a Time in China II".
