Hong Kong Island Comic Master

Chapter 335 Knowledge Contest
  "Good evening to all the viewers at the scene and in front of the TV! Welcome to the first "Second Dimension Knowledge Competition"! I am the host Alat Chen Baixiang!"

The Lord Duolong in front of me... Chen Baixiang is a new host on Phoenix Channel. Because of his funny humor, he is deeply loved by the audience, so he was sent to host this program.

No one thought that the ratings of this show would be high. After all, the audience of this show is too narrow.

Although two-dimensional comics and animations are very popular in Hong Kong Island, they are still niche cultural industries after all. Many grandparents cannot understand these things at all, so naturally they cannot watch this competition show.

However, even if the ratings are not high, Chen Baixiang does not dare to neglect it. After all, the program itself has the purpose of singing praises for Li Wannian, and it is not just for ratings.

In order to flatter Li Wannian, he naturally had to invite Li Wannian to the scene, which made Chen Baixiang even more nervous.

He has hosted many large-scale events before, but none of them were as nervous as today.

But after all, he is a skilled host. Although he was nervous, his face showed no emotion and he still hosted steadily.

"This competition not only has 50 contestants from various industries, but also three well-known cartoonists that everyone loves as judges. The first one to appear is Ma Rongcheng, the cartoonist of "Heroes of China"!"

As Chen Baixiang finished speaking, Ma Rongcheng walked up from the side of the stage. Under the applause of the audience, he stopped next to Chen Baixiang and waved.

"Mr. Ma, do you have anything to say?"

After speaking, Chen Baixiang put the microphone in front of Ma Rongcheng.

"I hope everyone will work hard, and I also want to see who gets 100 million in the end!"

Although it was the first time for Ma Rongcheng to participate in such a program, he acted very relaxedly and said with a smile.

"Very good, thank you Mr. Ma for your message, please take a seat!"

Under Chen Baixiang's guidance, Ma Rongcheng came to the judges' table and sat down.

Later, Chen Baixiang also introduced the second cartoonist, He Zhiwen.

Like Ma Rongcheng, He Zhiwen also said a few words briefly and then sat on the judges' table.

However, compared to Ma Rongcheng, He Zhiwen's performance seemed much more cramped.

Then Chen Baixiang used his most enthusiastic voice to invite the third cartoonist to appear. The finalist was Li Wannian.

When Li Wannian appeared on the stage, the cheers were obviously louder.

It’s no wonder that although the first two are also very popular cartoonists in Hong Kong, their influence cannot be compared with that of Li Wannian.

What's more, the first two are both Li Wannian's disciples!
  "Thank you, Mr. Long Live, for being here in person. What message do you have for our contestants?"

"It's natural for me to come to such a prosperous event. After all, whether you are a contestant, an audience, or an audience in front of the TV, I sincerely thank you! Thanks to you loyal readers of the Second Dimension Magazine, our works have become valuable. !”

After saying that, Li Wannian bowed in front of the camera.

I have to say that Li Wannian's words were extremely sincere and his attitude was sincere, which surprised everyone.

When they came to their senses, they immediately burst into even more violent applause. No one thought that Li Wannian's words were just pretentious.

Then Li Wannian also walked down the stage. When they came to the judges' table, Ma Rongcheng and He Zhiwen stood up quickly. After Li Wannian greeted them, he sat in the middle of the judges' table. “Very good, let me announce the rules of the competition. The competition is divided into preliminary rounds, semi-finals and finals!

In the preliminary round, 50 will advance to 10. There are ten questions in total. The first one to answer correctly will pass the test and then enter the next round!
  The semi-finals are 10 to 2, using a one-on-one 60-second challenge to see who can answer the most questions correctly!
  The final is one-on-one between two people. Whoever gets the wrong answer first will be eliminated. The winner will receive 100 million in cash! "

Today's Phoenix TV is no longer the cash-strapped Caotai team it once was.

After entering the 80s, Phoenix TV actually gained an advantage in the increasingly competitive TV station war. Although it ranked second after wireless stations in terms of market share, in terms of profitability, it ranked second. Far ahead of wireless stations and Asia Television.

In 1982, Far East Group Qiu Degen invested HK$50 million to purchase [-]% of the former Li's TV Station, completing its controlling stake in Asia Television.

It has to be said that under his management, Asia Television has been catching up and its share has gradually increased. Although it is still at a disadvantage compared to Phoenix Channel and Jade Channel, this growth trend is really scary.

Because Li Wannian knew the future situation of Asia Television, he was not in a hurry. On the contrary, Jade Channel was extremely anxious and even got into trouble.

No matter what, Phoenix TV today is not as powerful as it used to be, and there is so much money to spend!
  Therefore, today’s program is of very high standard and the prize money is particularly rich!
  As Chen Baixiang announced the start, 50 candidates took their seats. There was a answering machine in front of each person. As long as the button was pressed, the light in front of them would sound!
  "Please listen to the question! Raditz detects Piccolo's combat power while charging up the Demonic Light Cannon: A.1330, B.1430, C.1340, D.1440, 3, 2, 1, please answer!"

As Chen Baixiang finished speaking, he saw that more than half of the 50 contestants had pressed the button.

At this scene, He Zhiwen looked shocked when he saw him on the judges' table.

He thought he was a die-hard "Dragon Ball" fan, but he found that he didn't know this question, and seeing so many people pressing the button confidently at the same time, he must have the answer.

No, are you all so introverted?
  At this time, He Zhiwen secretly looked at Li Wannian beside him and whispered: "Teacher, which one should you choose?"

When He Zhiwen asked Li Wannian, Li Wannian's silence was deafening.

Fortunately, before he could speak, he found that a contestant on the stage had already answered: "I choose B!"

"wrong answer!"

As soon as Chen Baixiang said this, the others immediately pressed the answering machine again.

I didn’t expect that the competition would be so fierce as soon as I started!
  "Please answer on the 23rd!"

This No. 23 is a young boy, and he swears: "A.1330!"

"correct answer!"

Facing Chen Baixiang's passionate voice, the young man did not show any excitement, as if everything was under his control.

“Let’s congratulate the first winner!”

Amid the cheers of the audience, the boy waved, then walked off the ring and went to the rest area to sit down.

"I didn't expect that this handsome boy would be so understanding. If he doesn't have a good relationship, he would actually be reading comics. He is really wasting his wealth!"

Ma Rongcheng on the side said in wonder.

Hearing Ma Rongcheng's words, Li Wannian smiled and said, "Is he handsome? Why do I feel so ordinary?"
