Chapter 192 "Millionaire": I'll definitely do it
"Who Want to Be a Millionaire" is a puzzle-answer entertainment program, not a talent show such as "Good Talent".
Therefore, celebrities do not need to be used as host choices.
Letovan Dedeba, an African American, is the pillar of the host of Upn TV. After WB was acquired, he was transferred to WB TV and served as the host of the host. He is mature and steady, has a lot of cold humor, and has excellent control skills on the stage, but he is a bit sissy.
Of course, sissy is nothing in America.
Even if gay culture is not as popular as it was after 2010, there are still many people who dare to publicly announce their coming out.
"Hello, dear audiences, everyone!"
"I am the most familiar show host of you - Letovan Dedeba! Well, even if many of you don't know me, it doesn't matter, but I believe that from today on, starting from the "Millionaire" program, you will definitely know me!"
After the words came to an end, many viewers now laughed.
The audience will be tolerant of humorous and self-deprecating hosts.
"Millionaire is a live-action answering program. As long as the contestant can answer 15 questions correctly, he will win a $1 million cash prize!"
"You guys, you heard it right!"
"Asked 15 questions correctly, the $1 million cash prize is yours!"
"For each question, the contestants will have 15 seconds to consider. From the four options, they can choose the correct answers and qualify for huge bonuses."
"At the same time, when participants encounter difficulties, they can use three privileges to help answer the questions. They are 50:50 (excluding two wrong options), call the off-site help phone number and ask the audience."
...........
After the general rules of the program were read out, both the audience and the audience in front of the TV showed an expression of interest.
"Wow~~!"
"Really fake?"
"If you answer 15 questions correctly, you can get 1 million US dollars? Then, will I be a history professor, be sure to win?"
"If the topic is not difficult, I can also participate."
After all, you can get money by answering the questions, and you will get $1 million if you answer them correctly. If you are interested, everyone will be interested.
Even a major economic power like America, which became rich first, had a very strong purchasing power of US$1 million in 1998.
It is no exaggeration to say that $1 million can change a person's life's destiny!
"Knowledge changes destiny, and use knowledge to create wealth!"
This is also the slogan released by the "Millionaire" program.
.........
Not long.
The first contestant appeared.
"Hello sir, please introduce yourself." Host Letovan Dedeba stood up from the center of the stage and said.
"Hello everyone, I'm Collins Orwell, 30 years old, from San Francisco, and currently an accounting officer for a construction company."
The contestant is a fat man weighing more than 200 kilograms and is also a professional.
After the self-introduction was completed, the audience immediately responded with applause and encouragement.
The answer to the question has officially begun ~
Question 1: Which of the following four lakes is not one of the five largest lakes in the United States?
a: Lake Huron;
b: Lake Ontario;
c: Lake Champlain;
d: Lake Superior;
"Mr. Orwell, you have 15 seconds to answer the question. Which one is not one of the Great Lakes of America?" the host said solemnly.
After the words came to an end, many outsiders and the audience were stunned.
"This is too simple." A female audience member couldn't help but curl her lips.
"Yes, when I was in the second grade, the geography teacher taught us, and I still remember it freshly. This is completely giving away points!" Another person said in surprise.
However......
The first contestant Collins Orwell, this workplace elite, had no suspense...the answer was wrong!
It was shocked that many people's chins were suddenly shocked.
"Damn!"
"He actually answered such a simple question wrong?"
"He actually chose Lake Ontario. Didn't the geography teacher tell him that Lake Champlain is the sixth largest freshwater lake in the United States, not one of the five lakes?"
Many viewers were speechless.
Even if you don’t know that the sixth largest freshwater lake is Lake Champlain, you know the Great Lakes after all, and the elimination method can be done.
Many people shook their heads violently and had the idea of "I will definitely do it."
.........
In the following time, several contestants stepped onto the stage and answered questions.
However, no one answered the 15 questions in total, and most of them fell down after answering 6/7 questions; of course, the answerer who completed the most answers answered 14 questions correctly, regretfully fell on the last question.
The last question this player faces is: Which player is the champion of the first season of "America's Got Talent"?
He answered wrongly!
"Man, are you an alien?"
"Or, do you usually don't watch TV?"
"What a popular show, he has never watched it!"
This made many viewers in front of the TV so angry that they jumped.
The questions in the "Millionaire" program group's question bank are very simple.
Of course, this is also because most of the Americans are rough and illiterate, so there is no problem that is too difficult and deliberately makes things difficult for players. However, the topic covers a very wide range.
Covering sports, geography, history, science and technology, humanities, classic works...
Many issues!
The question of "Millionaire" does not test how great your ability is, but how broad your knowledge is.
Therefore, some extremely simple and trivial problems often stump the contestants.
These will create an illusion for all viewers - I will definitely do it!
.........
Unfortunately, no contestant successfully won the Millionaire Cash Award in the first episode of the show, but the show became popular!
Before the show was broadcast, there were as many as 100,000 messages on the official website, and the online registration channel was directly stuck, which shows how popular it is.
The next day.
When Zucker came to WB TV, he received the ratings report of "Millionaire".
Average viewership: 2.5%;
Peak ratings: 3.2%;
Although the average rating of 2.5% is not as good as the average rating of 7.23% in the first episode of the second season of "Good Talent", if you see the ratings increase curve of "Millionaire", you will definitely be shocked.
After all, it is a newly launched variety show!
When it first started, its ratings were only 1.05%, but with the broadcast of the program, the ratings immediately showed a soaring trend.
The soaring trend is even more fierce than the first season of "The Got Talent"!
In the original time and space history, Disney's ABC TV station, which obtained the North American production copyright, even declared to the public: "Millionaire is the most profitable variety show in ABC's history, creating a profit of $1 billion in three years!"
Looking at the ratings report in his hand, even though Zhu Ke had expected it, he was not calm at this moment.
"Boss, we're making a lot of money. According to the current trend, the "Millionaire" program has a rating of more than 5% after several episodes of the program aired, which is just around the corner!" Alexander exclaimed.
Zucker nodded immediately.
Although the ratings of "Millionaire" are not as good as "Good Talent", the profit is definitely not bad, because it can broadcast 3 to 5 episodes a week, and it is broadcast throughout the year, so the advertising fee will definitely be sluggish.
The second update of "" is given.
Chapter completed!
