Rebirth of Hong Kong's tycoons, shorting Eagle Sauce

Ball moved his Adam's apple nervously, and he said frankly:

"Arthur is a very great filmmaker, but unfortunately I haven't watched his movies seriously. There is a biography of him in the library, but it doesn't say anything about boxers..."

"I want to ask the audience for help!"

The host was very considerate and asked slowly:

"Which audience do you want to ask for help?"

Ball looked at the crowd for a few times, and saw a muscular big guy and said:

"This one."

The muscular man who was pointed out was obviously confused, and he explained a little stutteringly:

"Brother, I also want to help you, but I am a professional wrestler.

I don't know much about the boxers in the last half of the century, but the most famous boxer in Eagle Country is undoubtedly Jaime Mays, who is known as the father of modern boxing.

He swept the world boxing in England in the last century and won the world heavyweight championship in the United States!"

When everyone heard this, this guy spoke very logically and seemed quite reliable.

The host asked Ball in a high-pitched voice:

"So your answer is..."

"I believe this brother, I think the answer is Jaime Mays!"

The host's eyes moved slightly, still smiling.

Everyone held their breath and waited for the host's verdict.

The audience in front of the TV dared not breathe, for fear of missing the critical moment.

But at this moment, the advertisement of Wang's Real Estate jumped out:

"Are you still paying the mortgage for the landlord?

Pick up the phone and contact our agent now, 0 down payment, low interest rate, and settle down in this city, a home that truly belongs to you!"

The twenty-second advertisement flashed by.

After another few dozen seconds of playback, the camera focused on the host's half-smile face.

Only heard him slowly say:

"I'm sorry, the answer is wrong, Ball, you can't take away the one million dollar prize.

Thank you for bringing everyone a wonderful performance."

All the audience felt sorry for Ball who broke through 15 questions in a row.

The tears in his eyes moved people.

Just when the audience felt the cruelty of the quiz show for the first time, the host suddenly said:

"You are the first contestant to get to question 15, you should be rewarded, so our Millionaire program team has prepared a consolation prize for you."

"Let me applaud and congratulate contestant Ball for taking away $10,000 in cash!"

With Ball's end, today's live broadcast also came to an end.

People looked at the advertisers who thanked them, still with a look of unsatisfied.

Ball was only one step away from a million dollars, and many people were tempted to participate in the competition.

More viewers decided to write a letter to Paramount TV, asking them to increase the length of the program and praising the program.

The next morning, Michael excitedly looked at the freshly released complete ratings.

After the Wang's Real Estate advertisement was inserted, the number of viewers reached a peak-nearly 450 families were watching Who Can Be a Millionaire.

The total ratings were as high as 5 million, and the programs in the same prime time period all experienced a large-scale decline in ratings.

Needless to say, the entertainment industry news has already hyped up "Who Wants to Be a Millionaire" to the sky.

A rating of 5 million is indeed not worth mentioning for Friday's prime time.

But it is enough to be talked about by Paramount TV. You know, since its establishment, Paramount's ratings have never exceeded 2 million.

On a fiercely competitive Friday, this is a very rare achievement.

What surprised the industry even more was the production cost of "Who Wants to Be a Millionaire".

They originally thought that with so much bonus, the program would cost a huge amount of production costs.

But they carefully calculated the account for Paramount.

Because there is no need to invite any guest stars, all the contestants participating in the quiz are amateurs who sign up on their own, and the recording is also extremely simple, only requiring Paramount to vacate a recording stage.

The industry's indoor variety shows cost about 500,000 US dollars per hour, while "Who Wants to Be a Millionaire" is conservatively estimated to cost only about 250,000 US dollars.

Where can you find such a cost-saving and eye-catching program?

The four major TV stations have a premonition that the popularity of "Who Wants to Be a Millionaire" has become inevitable.

Fortunately, this program is broadcast weekly, and their ratings on Saturday and Sunday will not be affected.

But at this time, a very bad news came out.

Seeing that Millionaire is so popular, Paramount responded to the strong demands of many viewers who wrote in.

They will extend the program to 2 hours and broadcast it on Friday and Saturday!

If Michael was not worried about aesthetic fatigue, he would have broadcast it for three consecutive days.

The four major radio stations that received the news were like bereaved.

Paramount TV also announced another good news.

Next Sunday, a sports challenge show "Everyone Goes Forward" will be broadcastThe program welcomes the public to challenge. The prize for successful breakthrough is 10,000 US dollars. You can also participate in the quarterly championship challenge and compete for the grand prize of 100,000 US dollars!

The four major radio stations have a very bad feeling. Paramount wants to seize the opportunity. Just after tasting the sweetness of the quiz, it wants to introduce the program to the outdoors.

Just when everyone was trying their best to imitate the success model of the millionaire, Paramount gave the best answer.

Their producer slapped his forehead in frustration:

"Why can't I think of such a good idea."

It was after Wang Lei saw the muscle man that he thought of a perverted breakthrough program in the United States. The final annual prize was 1 million yuan.

Sports breakthrough programs have always been popular and there is no shortage of audiences no matter which country they are placed in.

Moreover, bodybuilding and fitness have always been popular in the United States. There is a pharmacy every few steps in Longguo, and there is a gym every few steps in other countries.

This kind of breakthrough program that shows strength and endurance has not yet been broadcast, and professionals have predicted that the ratings of this program will not be worse than that of the millionaire.

The four major TV stations really cried. Millionaires occupied the prime time on Friday and Saturday. Now there is another "Everyone Rush Forward" on Sunday. The ratings of their ace programs will definitely be greatly impacted.

This is indeed the case. On the first weekend of June, Millionaires ushered in the children's summer vacation.

After a week of fermentation, the ratings of Millionaires ushered in a new peak!

More than 10 million families chose to watch "Who Will Be a Millionaire" on Friday night, a variety show suitable for all ages.

As soon as the news came out, the first to sit still were the major brands.

So far, Millionaires has only one sponsor, that is Wang's Real Estate.

According to relevant media reports, after two weeks of the show, Wang's Real Estate's pre-sale housing transaction volume ushered in a new peak.

The other party's zero down payment slogan was simply explosive, which attracted the working renters who saw the advertisement on the show. They were very interested and called Wang's Real Estate as soon as possible to inquire about zero down payment loans.

The sales office of Wang’s Real Estate was crowded with people, and for the first time, the beautiful Chinese people enjoyed the blessing of queuing up to buy pre-sale homes.
