The richest man

Chapter 126 "Millionaire" aired

After "Chinese Superman" was released, the audience's reputation was mediocre.

The box office on the first day was only 61 Hong Kong dollars, which made Shao Yifu extremely astonished. He stayed alone in the office and remained silent for a long time. He couldn't figure out why such a big investment in a movie was not popular.

"This movie is weird, boring, and even a bit wicked. It feels like watching Ultraman fight little monsters. It feels so awkward."

"The visual effects of this movie are actually very detailed, and the fighting scenes are also entertaining to a certain extent, but when I was watching the movie, I fell asleep. Probably the script is not well written, and the plot and dialogue are not very good. boring."

"Yeah, the plot is boring and empty, and it's not good at all. If Zhang Jun were to write the script, it would definitely be different!"

"I'm still looking forward to the movie that Legendary Films invested and produced. I heard that "Happy Ghost 2" will be released soon. I'm really looking forward to it."

"..."

In the next few days, the box office of "Chinese Superman" did not improve at all, but got lower and lower.

The media and the industry were taken aback.

No one expected that the box office results would be so unsatisfactory after investing in such a big movie.

On July 7th, "Happy Ghost 5" was released.

Because the first "Happy Ghost" was full of openings.

"Happy Ghost 2" attracted widespread attention as soon as it was released, and there were long queues for ticket purchases in major theaters under the Legend Cinema Line.

One day later, the box office of "Happy Ghost 2" was released on the first day. The box office in Hong Kong was 123 million Hong Kong dollars, which is equivalent to twice the box office of "Chinese Superman" on the first day.

Shaw was so embarrassed.

Subsequently, the box office of Taiwan, Southeast Asia, Japan, South Korea and other places was released one after another, all of which achieved excellent results.

In contrast, "Chinese Superman" almost failed at the box office in these regions.

……

""Happy Ghost 2" has done well at the box office. When the film is released, give the crew members a red envelope!" Zhang Jun said to Huang Baiming, leaning on the soft sofa, feeling quite happy.

"Boss, will you start the "Happy Ghost 3" project next year?"

"No. We will shoot again in two or three years. Frequent filming of sequels will make movie fans feel fatigued, which may have a negative impact on the "Happy Ghost" series of movies." Zhang Jun thought for a while, shaking his head and replied.

"Ah."

"Boss, you haven't written a movie script for a long time. Otherwise, you should write a few scripts. You know that the company has expanded rapidly recently and has recruited many filmmakers. It is urgent to shoot new films!"

"Uh...Okay, then I'll find time to write a few scripts, but your screenwriting team should also work hard to create, and you can't always count on me."

"Yes, yes, I will urge them to work hard!"

Huang Baiming was overjoyed when Zhang Jun agreed to write the script.

Seeing this, Zhang Jun couldn't help shaking his head and smiling, isn't it just a few scripts, is he so happy?
This time, which works should I plagiarize?

Zhang Jun sipped his tea slowly while meditating.

"Half Weight", the Xu Brothers have been at Legendary Films for so long, so write a script for them.

Then write "Chasing Girls", "Prodigal Boys", and "Ghost Horse Smart Stars".

The latter three works were relatively popular works in the early 80s, which were enough to make Legendary Films a lot of money.

……

……

In the afternoon, the audience had just finished watching "Happy Ghost 2" and couldn't help discussing it.

"There is a program called "Millionaire" in "Happy Ghost 2". The hero actually earned 100 million by answering questions, which is really enviable! It would be great if there was such a program in reality, I will definitely go too Participate, maybe you can win a million grand prize!!"

"Haha, congratulations, your wish has come true. My cousin's son works at Phoenix TV. It is said that they are recording the program "Millionaire". The reason why "Millionaire" will appear in "Happy Ghost 2" Among them, it is actually an advertisement placement!"

"Damn, there really is "Millionaire"! I want to sign up!"

"If you want to sign up, then you can go to Phoenix TV and ask, maybe you will be able to participate."

"I'm so talented, those problems are a piece of cake, I can definitely get a bonus!"

"Millionaire" has not yet been publicized, but it has already become popular through "Happy Ghost 2".

Many people are interested in this program not only in Hong Kong, but also in Taiwan, Southeast Asia, Japan and South Korea.

At this time, Phoenix TV began to announce that "Millionaire" was about to start broadcasting every Friday night in prime time.

As soon as the news came out, it immediately caused a great sensation in Hong Kong!

100 million, for ordinary people, is undoubtedly a huge amount of money.

You know, at this time, it is only 10,000+ Hong Kong dollars to buy a thousand-foot apartment.

Everyone has the dream of getting rich for nothing, so they will naturally be extremely interested in "Millionaire".

After tvb heard the news, it felt like a formidable enemy.

"Damn it, how could they have such courage to produce this kind of program?" Li Xiaohe said distressedly.

Hong Kong's current variety shows cost as little as 30 to [-] yuan for each episode, and as many as [-] to [-] yuan.

How can there be such arrogance as "Millionaire", the first episode of the show is to win people's trust and cause a sensation, and someone will definitely get a 100 million bonus.After that, every few episodes, someone will get a million bonus again.

In addition, players who choose to leave midway can also get part of the bonus.

As a result, the production cost of "Millionaire" will be very high, and it will be more difficult to make a profit.

Approaching the evening golden hour.

A staff member of TVB hurried to the office and said loudly: "It's bad, TVB's ratings have started to plummet, everyone is going to Phoenix TV to watch "Millionaire"!!"

Shao Yizhen, Li Xiaohe and others frowned. At this time, a TV in the office was broadcasting Phoenix TV.

Li Xiaohe sighed and said, "I heard that Zhang Jun came up with the idea of ​​"Millionaire". Since he bought Li's TV, the ratings of our TVB have been decreasing. The program "Millionaire" is even worse. It was like a bomb dropped on the lake, causing huge waves."

Shao Yizhen frowned and said in a deep voice: "Zhang Jun's ideas are always unconstrained, which makes people admire! I don't know if "Millionaire" can make a profit, but this kind of program is very popular among Hong Kong citizens. , tvb's variety shows are hard to compete with!"

At this time, the "Millionaire" program began.

All eyes turned to the TV.

"Hi everyone, welcome to the TV game show "Millionaire" produced by Phoenix TV. I am the host Xie Fei." A handsome young host stood in the middle of the stage and introduced.

"First, let me introduce the game rules of "Millionaire" to you."

"Each time there are 10 contestants, they must first perform a quick and accurate session, and sort the four options within 15 seconds according to the requirements of the topic. The contestants who can arrange the correct order the fastest can qualify and compete for huge prizes. "

"After passing the fast and accurate part, the qualified ones will be led by the host to sit in the center of the studio, and begin to answer 15 multiple-choice questions to choose one of four!"

"..."

In order to let the audience understand "Millionaire" better, the host took a few minutes to introduce the rules of the game in great detail.

After the introduction, the tense and exciting question answering session began.

A middle school teacher stood out from 10 contestants for the chance to compete for a huge prize.

However, during the easing of answering the questions, the middle school teacher encountered several questions that he did not know, and the audience at the scene and in front of the TV couldn't help but sweat for him.

"Give up, you can get a part of the bonus and go home!"

"Wow, it's so dangerous. Fortunately, there is a kit to help, otherwise it will be over!"

"Damn, I don't even know how to do such a simple topic, I can do it myself!"

借助3个锦囊包括“50:50”（在4个选择中剔除2个，剩下1对1的答案）、“打电话问老友”（让参赛者打电话给场外的亲友及朋友，限时30秒）和“问现场观众”，这名中学老师最后运气非常好，拿到了百万奖金。

There was a sensation in the audience, with constant applause and screams.

The audience in front of the TV couldn't help shouting with excitement and envy, thinking that if they were lucky, they might also win the big prize.

Many people watched the show and felt the urge to participate.

Gradually, Phoenix TV's ratings are getting higher and higher, and the final ratings of the program accounted for 65%, completely crushing TVB!

"Millionaire" was a hit!
Although the "Millionaire" program is simple and straightforward, after careful planning, its success includes many factors, including the main scene of the game, music effects, lighting effects, hosts, question design, participants and live audiences.

In particular, the host controls the rhythm and atmosphere of the entire program, and the interesting questions collected after careful consideration lead to the climax of the program, which is fascinating.

After the program aired, the influence was very great.

In the morning of the next day, not only the news about "Millionaire" in major newspapers, but also the public were discussing the program, "Millionaire" became a national topic...
