Hollywood Starts with Animation

"Who Wants to Be a Millionaire" is a puzzle-type entertainment program, not a talent show such as "The Talent Show".

Therefore, in the choice of the host, there is no need for stars to act.

Letowan Dedeba, an African-American, is a pillar among the hosts of the UPN TV network. After WB was acquired, he was transferred to the WB TV network and served as the host. He is mature and stable, and there is no lack of humor. , The stage control ability is excellent, but he is a bit of a bitch.

Of course, a sissy is nothing in America.

Even if gay culture is not as popular as it was after 2010, there are still a lot of people who dare to publicly announce that they have come out of the closet.

"Dear viewers and friends, hello everyone!"

"I'm the presenter you know best - Letovan Dedeba! Well, it's okay even if many of you don't know me, but I believe that from today onwards, from 'Millionaire' From now on, you will definitely know me!"

The voice fell, and many of the audience now laughed.

For the humorous and self-deprecating host, the audience will be tolerant.

"Millionaire is a live-action quiz show where contestants who can answer 15 questions correctly will win a $1 million cash prize!"

"Guys, you heard that right!"

"Answer 15 questions correctly and the $1 million cash prize is yours!"

"Each question, the contestants will have 15 seconds to consider the time, from the four options, choose the correct answer, you can qualify for the huge prize money."

"At the same time, when contestants encounter difficulties, they can use three privileges to help answer the questions. They are 50:50 (excluding two wrong options), calling for help outside the venue, and asking the audience."

........

After the general rules of the program were read out, both the live audience and the audience in front of the TV all showed interest.

"Wow~~!"

"real or fake?!"

"Answer 15 questions correctly,

Can you get $1 million? Then, as a history professor, is it a sure win? "

"Let's see if the topic is difficult, if it's not difficult, I can also participate."

After all, if you answer the question, you get money, and you get $1 million for all correct answers, which will be interesting to anyone.

Even in the United States, an economic powerhouse that got rich first, in 1998, the purchasing power of $1 million was quite powerful.

It is no exaggeration to say that $1 million can change the fate of a person's life!

"Knowledge changes destiny, and knowledge creates wealth!"

This is also the slogan of the "Millionaire" program.

......

Soon.

The first contestant appeared.

"Hello sir, please introduce yourself." The host Letowan Dedeba stood up from the center of the stage and said.

"Hello everyone, I'm Collins Orwell, 30 years old, from San Francisco, currently working as an accountant for a construction company."

The contestant is a fat man who weighs more than 200 pounds and is also a professional.

After self-introduction, the audience immediately responded with applause and encouragement.

The quiz has officially started~

Question 1: Which of the following four lakes is not one of the Great Lakes of America?

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.

The voice fell, and many outside and on-site audiences couldn't help but be stunned.

"It's too simple." A female audience member couldn't help but curl her lips.

"Yeah, when I was in the second grade, the geography teacher taught us, and I still remember it freshly. It's all about giving points!" Another questioned.

However......

The first contestant, Collins Orwell, this professional elite, has no suspense... Wrong answer!

Suddenly many people's jaws dropped.

"Fuck!"

"How could he answer such a simple question wrong?!"

"He chose B: 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 Great Lakes?"

Many viewers were speechless.

Even if you don't know that the sixth largest freshwater lake is Lake Champlain, but you know the Great Lakes after all, the elimination method can be done.

Many people shook their heads violently, and the idea of ​​"I'm sure I can do it" was born.

......

In the following time, several more contestants took to the stage to answer questions.

However, no one answered all 15 questions, and most of them fell down after answering 6/7 questions; of course, the answerer who completed the most questions answered 14 questions correctly, and unfortunately fell to the last one on the topic.

The last question the contestant faced was: Who is the champion of the first season of "America's Got Talent"?

He answered wrong!

"Man, are you an alien?"

"Or, don't you usually watch TV?"

"The talent show is so hot, he hasn't watched it!"

This made many viewers in front of the TV jump with anger.

The questions in the question bank of the "Millionaire" program group are very simple.

Of course, this is also because most of the old and beautiful are rough and illiterate, so there is no problem that is too difficult to deliberately make things difficult for the players, but the topics are very wide-ranging.

Covering sports, geography, history, science and technology, humanities, famous books......

So many questions!

The question of "Millionaire" is not about how capable you are, but about how broad your knowledge is.

Therefore, some extremely simple and trivial problems often stumped the players.

These will create an illusion for all viewers - I'll definitely do it!

......

Unfortunately, in the first episode of "Millionaire", none of the contestants successfully won the million-dollar cash prize. However, the program became popular!

Before the show ended, there were as many as 100,000 comments on the official website, and the online registration channel was directly blocked, which shows the popularity of the show.

the next day.

When Zucker came to the WB TV network, he received the ratings report of "Millionaire" for the first time.

Average ratings: 2.5%;

Peak ratings: 3.2%;

Although this 2.5% average viewership rating is not as good as the 7.23% average viewership rating of the first issue of the second season of "The Talent Show", but if you see the viewership rate increase curve of "Millionaire", you will definitely be frightened. Jump.

It's a new variety show after all!

When it first aired, its ratings were only 1.05%, but with the broadcast of the program, the ratings immediately showed a trend of soaring.

The magnitude of the soaring trend is even more ferocious than the first season of "The Talent Show"!

In the history of the original time and space, Disney's ABC TV station, which has obtained the North American production rights, even declared: ""Millionaire" is the most profitable variety show in ABC's history, generating a profit of 1 billion US dollars in three years!"

Looking at the ratings report in his hand, Rao is Zu Ke had expected it, but he was not calm at the moment.

"Boss, we've made a lot of money. According to the current situation, after a few episodes of the show "Millionaire", the viewership rate exceeded 5%, which is completely just around the corner!" Alexander exclaimed.

Zucker nodded immediately.

Although the ratings of "Millionaire" are not as good as that of "The Talent Show", the profit is definitely not bad, because it can broadcast 3 to 5 episodes of programs every week, and it is broadcast throughout the year, and the advertising fee will definitely be received. Soft hands.

" "The second is sent.

Thanks to the two book friends Huanyuyun and Chilingge Gufeng for their rewards.
