Chapter 263: The gambling agreement is exposed. Is it arrogance or arrogance?
There are no secrets in the media world.
The bet between the brand and Paramount Television spread like wildfire.
Although the media have restrained themselves a lot in the face of Paramount's lawsuit, this does not prevent them from continuing to ridicule Paramount's ambitions!
The public also feels that Paramount is a little self-aware, and in street interviews, they have stated that they are supporters of a certain TV station and will not change their position and watch Paramount TV.
What makes people laugh is that the ratings have increased a lot without Paramount making any big moves.
These people say they are unwilling, but their bodies are quite honest.
The increase in ratings can also be attributed to the station's broadcast of TV Tokyo's outdoor variety show.
Seeing that the broadcast results were good, Paramount announced that Paramount TV would introduce the copyrights of several top variety shows to produce local versions of Running Man and Two Days and One Night.
Taking advantage of this popularity, the TV station also released a challenge letter for "Who Wants to Be a Millionaire" and news that Kevin is preparing to record a TV series.
The million-dollar challenge prize given by the variety show immediately became a hot topic.
Because the million-dollar bonus is so tempting, as long as you answer 15 questions correctly, you can get the bonus.
This is much more reliable than buying lottery tickets.
One million U.S. dollars is a lot of money in this beautiful country, and it is undoubtedly a huge fortune.
Many people crammed in a hundred thousand whys and encyclopedia knowledge overnight, planning to take away the million-dollar prize under the spotlight on the variety show.
There are many knowledgeable academics among them.
This form of national interaction is an unprecedented case of variety show promotion.
Let everyone's eyes light up.
After the program challenge was issued, challengers who came to sign up lined up in front of Paramount Television.
This popularity made the four major TV stations feel bad. They all saw that Paramount's amateur variety show was going to be a big hit.
Of course they want to imitate, but Paramount has already registered a variety show copyright patent. Once the program involves questions and answers and bonuses, it is an infringement!
Huge royalties have to be paid to Paramount!
The four major TV stations were furious and immediately vented their anger on Director Kevin.
"Kevin, the king of bad movies, hasn't left the entertainment industry yet?"
The host of the Morning and Late Show made some wild remarks on the show, which made the audience chuckle.
It was his bold remarks that kept the show alive, but he received a lot of letters from lawyers because of it.
But because the financial backer was the Morgan consortium, he didn't care about these lawsuits at all.
As soon as the program aired, the news that Kevin, the director of bad movies, was making a comeback immediately spread a lot.
Even Paramount Television had to stand up and refute the rumors for the sake of TV series ratings:
"Director Kevin is just the deputy director of "The Walking Dead". The director is a new director trained by our TV station. Also, Director Kevin has a lot of funding, so it's not as bad as you think."
Paramount's refutation of the rumors was laughed off, and many people who wanted to see Kevin's jokes secretly made up their mind to see this TV series to see how bad it was.
On the contrary, it has brought a lot of popularity to The Walking Dead, which is still filming.
Careful media discovered that Paramount actually had three self-produced TV series started filming at the same time. Is this because they want to use money to create a flagship TV series?
There are also people who are pouring cold water on Paramount. TV series production is not about buying lottery tickets. The greater the volume, the greater the possibility of success. Paramount, an outsider, has a high possibility that all three self-produced dramas will fail.
Seeing the popularity of the variety show Who Wants to Be a Millionaire declining, the four major TV stations breathed a sigh of relief, feeling that they had achieved their goal of changing the topic.
The debut of a variety show that loses popularity is bound to suffer from ratings failure.
The first episode of Who Can Be a Millionaire aired as scheduled on Friday night.
What's exciting is that as long as you answer six questions correctly and choose not to continue the challenge, you can take home a prize of three thousand US dollars.
If you answer four more questions correctly, you can take away another $[-].
For each correct answer to the next question, the total bonus will be doubled. If you answer fifteen questions correctly, you can take away the total bonus of 100 million!
But if you choose to continue answering questions, if you get one wrong answer, you will lose all accumulated bonuses!
As the contestants appeared on the stage, the audience's hearts could not help but twitch.
One player got stuck on the tenth question and left the competition in despair, making everyone feel sorry for him.
After someone got a bonus of [-] yuan, he chose to end it in time and left with [-] yuan in cash. The audience couldn't help but feel happy for him, as if he had received the bonus himself.
At this moment, a contestant wearing glasses appeared and introduced himself as a librarian.
In his spare time, his favorite thing to do is read books. He is very confident in his knowledge reserve.
The audience thought he was conceited, but as he answered questions correctly, even the host was impressed.
But as the difficulty of the problem increased, he had to use the authority to call for help three times.
Soon he came to the last question.
At this time, the ratings reached an astonishing peak, and millions of families were curious about whether he could successfully take away the 100 million bonus.
"Dear Bauer, you can choose to give up and continue the challenge and take the bonus of 16 US dollars, or continue to challenge the bonus of 100 million US dollars, please make a choice?"
The audience in the audience was noisy. Some supported Bauer to continue answering questions and tried their best to transform the motorcycle into a racing car.
But some people advised Bauer to stop immediately and take away the 16 US dollars to buy a Ferrari's latest convertible sports car.
Everything about this scene seemed so real.
In the studio, the director was also very excited because the number of people watching online at the same time had reached 300 million, and 300 million households were actually watching their question and answer show.
Although it is nothing compared to the tens of millions of ratings generated by the four major TV stations, it is undoubtedly a milestone for the newly founded Paramount.
The director gestured to Ball, indicating that he would continue to answer the question.
"I want to continue to challenge for a prize of 100 million!"
There were screams in the audience and in front of the TV.
The host also praised:
"Give our player a round of applause. His courage deserves our praise!"
After the applause ended, the host took out the sealed answer sheet and asked:
"Answer: In the series of films produced by Baron Joseph Arthur Rank, which boxer was famous for his ability to play the gong?"
Baron Joseph Arthur Rank was a figure from the 40s and a native of Eagle Country.
The program team's questions were extremely tricky, and the audience suddenly fell silent.
At this time, Ball only had one chance to ask for help from the audience. Seeing this scene, the audience in front of the TV yelled that it was over.
