My Lord, you need to stand up!

Chapter 878 It's No Wonder It's Not Popular

These have all been discussed repeatedly internally.

It's easy to get tired of seeing a beautiful woman express herself in such a monotonous way for five minutes, but if she changes clothes every two or three seconds, then it's fine to use one person for five minutes.

The result was so stunning that the entire island cheered.

It has a charming yet tasteful quality, showing great refinement.

Easy fitness means swaying to music and movements for fifteen minutes, guaranteed to make your work fatigue and drowsiness disappear.

The news channel producers even suggested that they stick to the original suggestion of having the show run for five minutes every hour, as it would keep viewers engaged!

Really fragrant!

The people on the variety show channel were both envious and anxious, seeing their colleagues pass the big test while they themselves were still unaware of the outcome.

But the news station also helped with advertising.

The afternoon was filled with 15-20 minute segments on various real estate-related programs. For example, the "Hong Kong Island Luxury Homes" segment that followed Lina's used Wei Dong's house as a prop!
Everyone who saw it thought the boss was really going all out, not even hesitating to show off his own home.

In Hong Kong, 90% of people live in cramped apartments, 9.99% live in more spacious apartments, and only 0.01% live in luxury homes.

In the 1980s, let alone large ocean-view houses like these, even detached townhouses bought on The Peak Road were basically not available for sale on the market.

These are all assets circulating among wealthy individuals, resources shared and enjoyed internally by investment advisors and real estate brokers.

Qin Yuye only got involved in buying a house after she was about to marry Wei Dong, and later introduced him to Fa Ge, who bought one for her.

Ordinary Hong Kong citizens can only see the outward appearance of the extravagant lifestyles of the super-rich from afar, and admire and kneel in awe without any source of information.

Now we'll show it to everyone directly.

Wow, a middle-aged veteran actor from ATV, dressed in a suit and tie, is playing a real estate agent. He even said that the security booth at the front door is bigger than our subdivided flat, which houses several people.

Beneath the open-air parking lot that can accommodate twenty cars, there is a brightly lit and fully equipped basketball court and fitness center!
The homeowner's identity was never revealed, but the homeowner clearly expressed optimism about Hong Kong's future economy and a commitment to managing their home in Hong Kong.

Finally, he passionately declared, "This is our beautiful Hong Kong, a city where hard work pays off. The people who live here are also self-made business empires, so you, the viewer, can do it too!"

I'm just asking if the viewership ratings are good or not.

The luxury home introductions are for show only, not for sale. Similar to the previous "easy fitness" section, submissions are welcome. However, the studios, small two-bedroom apartments, and condominiums are all presented by real estate agents who lead the viewings. This alone has already secured advertising contracts from two real estate companies.

After the broadcast in the afternoon, the company received more than ten calls from real estate companies and property developers inquiring about prices.

These groups have definitely found their way to making money!
This has certainly inspired other groups to rack their brains to figure out how to make money, since it's impossible for broadcasting, news, and stock commentary professionals to all flock to the real estate industry.

But at least the real estate sector, a fundamental pillar, stabilized this afternoon.

Then, after the opening sequence three or four times every hour, a cartoon animation reminds viewers: "Asia Television Variety Channel will launch 'Let's Get Creative' tonight at 7 PM. Tune in and compete for a grand prize of 10,000 NTD!"

The question is whether this is attractive.

In fact, the positive feedback from all sides was reflected in the stock price starting in the afternoon.

Perhaps it's white-collar workers who go out for lunch and then return to their offices to describe it with great enthusiasm, or perhaps it's people passing on information to their neighbors on the street and starting to watch.

As one of only two television stations in Hong Kong to undergo a revamp, it naturally attracts people's curiosity to take a look.

The result was that it was just as addictive as watching short videos; once you opened it, you couldn't stop watching with great interest.

All information, regardless of its content, is switched over within 20 to 30 seconds. Even similar financial, stock market, and real estate information is presented in a way that creates a sense of novelty and information gap between different pieces.

The advantage is that it's so captivating that you can't stop watching, and it's easy to get curious about what's next. It's so difficult to leave the TV or change the channel.

The drawback is also clear: after reading it, you feel scattered and gain nothing.

My mind was already a jumbled mess of fragmented information, and I couldn't remember anything.

But that's not important; what's important is that the ratings went up!
Hong Kong already has well-established commercial organizations conducting statistics in this area, primarily through telephone interviews and sampling.

Each of the two TV stations has two or three channels, plus other overseas channels, international channels, Makan channels, and a whole bunch of right bank channels that can be received, so the average is about 10%.

However, as the most important local channels in Hong Kong, TVB and ATV should have a passing grade of 15%.

This is most evident when TV dramas are competing. As the world's largest Chinese-language television station, TVB's staff size of three to five thousand people is impressive. ATV may occasionally have one or two dramas that grab attention and win, but overall, TVB wins 80% of the time!

When TVB broadcasts a drama, it can achieve a viewership rating of 30 or 40 points, while the other channel only gets a dozen points or even lower.

ATV's previous strategy was to have two channels, one focused on Chinese and the other on English. In reality, both channels were heavily airing dramas. TVB couldn't possibly cover all the popular shows, could it? With so many dramas airing, there was bound to be one or two that would become hits and surpass ATV's...

But now that the variety channel is starting its revamp at 7 PM, the whole of Hong Kong is working themselves to the bone!

After another 3D animated logo opening sequence in the style of international Nexon, the show "Let's Try Something New" kicked off, surprisingly featuring Stephen Chow, Uncle Da, and Ah Qian on stage, with Wang Xin and Zheng Zhiwei co-hosting!
Popular celebrities appearing on variety shows while their movies are currently showing is a common practice in 20 or 30 years. It's still quite rare now.

Moreover, he sat there very seriously, conducting the interview and asking questions.

This isn't the place; come and start playing games!

Moreover, they created a gloomy and terrifying dark room environment. Zheng Zhiwei and Wang Xin, both short in stature, were dressed in rather perfunctory devil costumes, putting on airs: "I am a messenger from hell, here to judge your lives..."

As he spoke, he used the Lingbo Weibu technique as if a ghost were floating by.

Ah Qian even covered her mouth with both hands and screamed in cooperation.

Wang Xin, covering his mouth, secretly exposed the truth: "Actually, it was wire work..."

As he spoke, Zheng Zhiwei floated past him, and he reached out to block him in mid-air. The invisible steel wire immediately began to sway, causing Zheng Zhiwei, who had lost his balance, to scream in pain!

This humor actually comes from cartoonish style, which is very familiar to modern audiences, and the surrounding stands immediately burst into laughter.

Qin Yuye and Shen Laosan, as the audience, were quite likely to trigger their laughter.

When Zheng Zhiwei announced that the four of them would compete in a 10-question quiz, Wang Xin slyly pointed to the hotline displayed on the screen in front of him: "Any viewer who calls in advance and guesses the final winner correctly will share a HK$10,000 prize with the other viewers who guessed correctly!"

You can win money while watching TV!
Let's see if you watched it carefully.

The questions are actually very simple; they are all just "YES" or "NO" correct or incorrect answers.

But the questions are incredibly varied, such as: "Was Cao Cao the fastest runner in history?!"

What is this all about?

In an era before riddles or corny jokes were popular, the entire audience was likely left completely bewildered.

Choose. On the gloomy, dimly lit stage, there's a large sign hanging down that says "YES" or "NO." Choose whichever you want to stand on.

Stephen Chow said in a serious tone, "Impossible! How could Cao Cao be the fastest runner? Dai Zong was faster too!" He stood firmly under the "NO" sign.

Uncle Da chuckled slyly and stood under the YES sign. Ah Qian acted well, wavering back and forth in the middle, but finally stood on Uncle Da's side.

I thought that based on her relationship with Stephen Chow in the movie, she should be on the side of the couple.

Some of the audience members even started to heckle.

When Wang Xin sneakily reminded him to make the call, Zheng Zhiwei gestured mysteriously, saying, "Let God decide..."

Before he could finish speaking, the leather-wrapped sponge sign with the word "NO" unexpectedly flipped forward and smashed down, knocking Stephen Chow flying right in front of him!

You can still hear his screams, which grow louder as they fade into the distance!
Viewers have never seen such an exaggerated and hilarious variety show before, and they find it incredibly fun to tease others, building their own happiness on the suffering of others.

Laughing wildly!

They made numerous phone calls and placed huge bets on Uncle Da, and also bought a lot of Ah Qian's stuff.

Anyway, after finally managing to climb back up, Stephen Chow insisted on asking for the answer, so Zheng Zhiwei said, "Speak of the devil and he appears; who can be faster than him?"

Then laugh again!
The title isn't important; what matters is that it's unexpected and funny.

For example, when faced with the next question, all three carefully crossed their arms in front of them in a protective stance, each considering their options and looking back into the bottomless darkness behind them before choosing a different posture.

Ah Qian's martial arts pose is the funniest.

This time, with a snap, the floor folded open, instantly making Ah Qian and Zhou Xingxing disappear from the ground!
The audience was absolutely in stitches when they saw Ah Qian crawling out, her face pale with fright.

I've never seen a show that pranks celebrities like this.

Then, while trying to shield himself from the floor, he jumped in place to prevent it from disappearing, but suddenly a huge cloud of dust sprayed out from his head!

Uncle Da was completely dumbfounded, his face pale with shock!
Or perhaps Zheng Zhiwei had finished speaking, and it was as if the mechanism had stalled, causing everyone's defensive actions to stop, before the unexpected water was released!
Various new styles are constantly emerging.

I laughed from beginning to end during the 40-minute program, which included three Apple computer commercials.

In the end, Stephen Chow unexpectedly won. A total of more than 70,000 phone calls were placed on Uncle Tat, 120,000 on Ah Sin, and 17,000 on Stephen Chow.

Zheng Zhiwei was still scratching his head frantically: "Seventeen thousand big shots sharing ten thousand Hong Kong dollars... That's not right, how can so many people come to rob us? It looks like they're trying to bankrupt us!"

The surrounding audience, led by the directors, started cheering and jeering. The camera even focused on them, showing Qin Yuye as the one leading the laughter and jeers.

A distant voice came: "Then let's split it into 100,000 Hong Kong dollars..."

Zheng Zhiwei and Wang Xin were so scared they almost lost their minds and said yes!

The audience will definitely be even happier and will definitely want to collect their money!
