Chapter 238 Ah Wei, please do it and send him to grow potatoes.

It's another new day. After Chen Baixiang and Chen Farong arrived at the ATV Variety Show Creation Center, they were still rehearsing the hosting project of "Millionaire" when they saw the director of the variety show center coming with two beautiful girls.

Chen Baixiang was immediately startled and led Chen Farong to greet him, "Teacher Jennifer is here? A rare guest, but also an honored guest!"

Zhao Donghuai planned the Millionaire Project at the beginning of May. Now it is the end of July and this big variety show is still in the preparation stage? Normally.

This is not yet the era of super Internet big data. It is just a question bank, and a large number of people must be mobilized to prepare content for the question bank.

A contestant starts from the first question and gradually increases the difficulty. After answering 15 questions, he can get a bonus of 1 million, but how to control the difficulty?

This also requires professionals to study and draw conclusions.

Otherwise, if someone can easily take away the million-dollar bonus every time, the attraction will not be so strong, but if no one can take away the prize every time, the attraction will also decrease.

This level of rhythm also needs to be studied.

The serious Yalun TV station came up with the idea of ​​a millionaire variety show in 1995, but it was not until 1998 that the first episode was launched, and then in 2000 the first contestant took away the 1 million pound bonus.

Why do you think it is? Naturally, the question bank is full, and the difficulty settings are also controlled. It requires long-term study, and the rules must be perfected step by step, as well as stage design, lighting modeling, etc.

The creation of a truly major variety show project is actually no easier than filming a TV series.

Of course, after being busy for nearly three months, Zhao Donghuai had cheating design rules. At the critical moment, he only needed to come up with a set of 15 questions to show the increasing difficulty level... showing different categories such as history, astronomy, humanities, and geography.

The frequency of changes to other topics.

The question bank team of the entire project had standards to refer to, so ATV promoted the project very quickly.

In three months, this top-notch variety show is basically ready to recruit contestants and is ready to enter the first phase of the recording process.

Chen Baixiang is a very talented guy. He is not the most popular among movie and TV stars, but his acting skills are very strong and his hosting skills are at the top level among big stars.

But now that I saw Jennifer Connelly and brought Christiana Yeri with her, it goes without saying that Connery is already the most popular post-70s generation in the world and the number one actress born in the 70s as boasted by many big European and American media.

As for Christiana, standing next to Connery, her appearance is not inferior at all. Chen knew that this would be the next generation of actresses in Hong Kong movies.

Chen Farong also greeted her politely with a smile, with a very low posture. After Jennifer was simply polite, she smiled and said, "Teacher Chen, this is Cristiana. She just came from France to join the Zhao family, but her acting skills are still in the initial learning stage."

"The boss wants her to try the hosting circuit. She will go to Seoul with you in September to be a backup host and broadcast the Olympics with you guys."

"During this period, I hope you will take care of her more and teach her some hosting skills. However, her English is not very good, so I will trouble you two more. A real translator will come to teach her later."

Jennifer speaks Cantonese, which is not standard, but can be understood. In just over a year, she has mastered somewhat proficient Mandarin and blunt Cantonese, which makes her a true language genius.

Christiana also spoke politely, speaking some English and showing off her student attitude.

Chen Baixiang laughed, "It's a small matter, it's a small matter. Since the boss has entrusted the people to me, I will definitely lead the team with all my strength..."

Anyway, chasing one student is a rush, and taking two students is also a rush. At this stage, Chen Farong has only studied with him for more than two months. His hosting style is humorous and funny with a kind of quick thinking. Chen Farong stands out as a talented person.

The image of cultural and temperamental beauty.

Looking at Christiana now, it's the same. She's very bookish, elegant and restrained, although her temperament is a bit the same as Chen Farong's.

But their looks are different!

Ladies with the same cultural temperament, one is a Yangma, and she is so beautiful that it is stunning... A Rong can only be regarded as a good-looking type when compared.

He is really happy too!

After understanding what kind of project Millionaire was and having a premonition of how big the ratings effect would be, Alet felt that Zhao Sheng was taking advantage of him by giving him a lot of money.

As long as the millionaire can become popular, it will be a successful candidate, a solid audience and a solid Ale-style host. If the host becomes popular, you will be the king of goods, even if you wear clothes and shoes in every issue.

!

As long as the contestant can win, he can take home a prize of one million Hong Kong dollars.

The initial selection will be from Hong Kong Island, and later it will be gradually expanded to the Chinese community in the mainland and Southeast Asian countries. How tempting is the one million bonus?

This may have a stronger sales effect than the F4 starring Li Ming, Zheng Yi Jian and other F4 movies (Meteor Garden), making him as a host even more popular!

In one and a half years, it may involve tens of millions of Hong Kong dollars in sales revenue. Do you think he is excited? Is he happy? What does it mean to bring in a few more students for this?

The next moment, Chen Baixiang's eyes lit up, "Director, we are recruiting people for the first variety show. Why don't we try to let Cristiana debut as a contestant? Her looks and figure are a bit..."

One of the best-matched French roses, she is 23 years old, with a height of 1.68 meters and even wearing high heels, she is taller than Alet.

The director of the Variety Show Creation Center also lit up, "The identity of the 10 contestants in the first phase is indeed a highlight of the arrangement. It is said that ten lucky ones from Hong Kong are randomly selected, but one or two pre-determined ones will be arranged. As long as there are viewers

It’s all a good thing.”

Everyone is not blind. With Cristiana’s good looks, figure and temperament, standing on the stage is a highlight. Why did (Meteor Garden) become so popular in the first place and have such incredible ratings, or is it so common across Asia?

?

Isn’t it just that there are tons of handsome men and beautiful women who can kill all classes of audiences in an instant?

As for Cristiana, who is not a Hong Kong citizen? Her nationality is both South American and Italian. This has no impact, because the program team planned to select people on Hong Kong Island in the first two episodes, not just those with Hong Kong ID cards.

Object.

Hong Kong screening also includes many groups of tourists coming to Hong Kong.

After all, this was the summer of 1988, the period when the global tourist frenzy was at its peak after the first Jurassic Park movie swept the world. By the end of July alone, there were already tens of millions of tourists visiting Hong Kong, which was more than the original number of tourists on Hong Kong Island.

The total population of several million is much larger.

Under this circumstance, if you restrict only those with Hong Kong ID cards to register for the election, it would be too harmful to the tourism industry.

The tourism industry, not to mention the passenger transport industry, contributed more to Zhang Min and Qiu Shuzhen's tickets, boat tickets and taxi expenses.

Let's just say that this wave of tourist frenzy has increased the market value of Huazhi by about 10 billion Hong Kong dollars! Just the tourist frenzy has brought about a higher increase in market value than the current Cheung Kong Group owned by Li Zhi.

Is it an exaggeration? If you take a closer look, you will know that Huazhi’s five express hotels in Tung Chung have almost no vacancies since they opened last year until now!

More than 10 million tourist arrivals in half a year have driven the entire Tung Chung New Town. The prices of some popular shops in the downtown area are already ridiculously more expensive than some popular shops in Yau Tsim Mong or Central.

Sha Dantong's gold chain and Yang Shuocheng's jewelry and watch stores are all trying to grab the popular stores in Tung Chung. Huazhi is making crazy money from the rent, and all the land in the pedestrian street is owned by Huazhi.

Housing in Tung Chung is currently much cheaper than Yau Tsim Mong, but the price has surpassed Tsz Wan Shan, Tseung Kwan O and other remote areas in Kowloon.

More than 10 million people eat, drink and have sex. Even if one person only stays in Hong Kong Island for about a week on average, it will bring about a terrifying economic boost.

What is the price of a popular shop in Yau Tsim Mong, Hong Kong Island in the 2010s? The average rent on Russell Street in Causeway Bay is HK$200,000 per square meter per month! Why? The reason is the tourist boom of hundreds of millions of people in the Mainland every year.

Without massive tourist arrivals, where would the high rent base come from?

At present, there are few wealthy people in the mainland, but there are many wealthy tourists around the world, including the island countries of South Korea, Europe and the United States...

That's it. Even in order not to affect the development and expansion of the tourism industry, currently only three of the ten players in the first phase recruited from Hong Kong are tourists.

………………

ATV headquarters.

When Zhao Donghuai received the report that A Le and the Director of the Variety Show Department suggested recruiting and arranging a few interesting or interesting contestants in the early stage of the program, he thought about it for a while and agreed.

It is a good thing if one or two people with explosive identities occasionally emerge from a group of citizens.

However, Director Zhao, who was too specific, would not intervene and let the program team do the screening. From this day on, ATV began to build momentum for the variety show (Millionaire). It was directly announced in the program. As long as it can become a program

Contestants who answer 15 questions correctly in a row can receive a prize of HKD 1 million from the program team!

As soon as this announcement came out, the whole Hong Kong was shocked.

This is only 1988, no, what if it’s 2022 in the future? The top prize of one million is still a grand prize that countless people dream of.

So many people in Hong Kong are keen on buying horse racing, buying Jockey Club lottery tickets, etc. Don’t they just want to get rich instantly? Even buying horses requires spending money on tickets.

But this program (Millionaire) is different. When you sign up, you only need to make a phone call to register your ID number, or your passport or visa number for traveling in Hong Kong, and you will have the opportunity to be selected and come to ATV to record the program and answer questions.

The cost is almost zero.

The opposite of nearly zero cost is the grand prize of up to HKD 1 million!

As soon as the project "Millionaire" was announced to the public, the hotline was almost overwhelmed. The 12 operators were extremely busy, and the popularity of the program suddenly caught up with the most popular idol dramas.

…………

August has arrived.

(Source Code/Speed ​​2) After a month of bombing around the world, it has accumulated a total of 300 million U.S. dollars at the box office. The reputation is also amazing. Tony Leung Ka-fai's star aura has been raised to a big level again by this blockbuster.

After watching the first episode of "Millionaire" on ATV, Zhao Donghuai nodded happily, "Yes, the program is very effective. Let's broadcast it tonight."

The entire Millionaire variety show took 3 months of preparation and actually started filming. Once the contestants were selected, the filming was much faster. The ten contestants could be filmed in one day. After all, it didn’t require anything from serious contestants.

Acting skills.

Answer the questions truthfully. If you are right, you will continue to avoid others if you are wrong...

This variety show is just about watching Chen Baixiang and Chen Farong host it.

When Director Zhao returned to the office, he came in and saw Qiu Shuzhen and Zhang Min discussing something with gusto. They also had a magazine in their hands.

Zhao Donghuai was amused, "What are you looking at, so entranced?"

Azhen immediately raised her head and ran over and said, "Wow, boss, I didn't expect that a person could be so bad. He looks so-so but looks so talented on the outside, but is so nasty in private. Fortunately, he is still a new star. He just took advantage of our (Intolerance) TV series.

Become popular."

Zhang Min doubted, "Really or not, this magazine might be talking nonsense, right? How can there be a big star walking on the street, tying his shoelaces to peek at passers-by..."
