Chapter 264: Amazing first-day ratings, double-day broadcast
Bauer moved his Adam's apple nervously and said frankly:
"Arthur is a very great filmmaker. Unfortunately, I haven't watched his movies seriously. The library has his biography, but it doesn't mention anything about boxers..."
"I want help from the audience!"
The host was very considerate and asked questions in a leisurely manner:
"Which audience member are you calling for help?"
Bauer glanced at the crowd, spotted a big muscular man and said:
"Just this one."
The muscular man who was pointed at was obviously confused. He stuttered and explained:
“Man, I’m here to help you too, but I’m a professional wrestler.
I don’t know much about the boxers of the past half century, but the most famous boxer in Eagle Country is undoubtedly Jem Mays, known as the father of modern boxing.
He swept the world boxing scene in England in the last century and won the world heavyweight championship in the beautiful country! "
When everyone heard this, they found that what this guy said was clear and logical, and seemed to be quite reliable.
The host asked Bauer in a high tone:
"So your answer is..."
"I believe this brother, I think the answer is Jem Mays!"
The host's eyes moved slightly, but he still had a smile on his face.
Everyone waited with bated breath for the host's verdict.
The audience in front of the TV did not dare to breathe, for fear of missing the crucial moment.
But at this moment, an advertisement from Wang Real Estate popped up:
“Are you still paying the mortgage to your landlord?
Pick up the phone and contact our agents now. With 0 down payment and low interest rates, you can settle into a home in this city, a home that truly belongs to you! "
The 20-second commercial flashed by.
After another few dozen seconds of playback, the camera focused on the host's half-smiling face.
I only heard him say slowly:
"Sorry, the answer is wrong, Ball, you can't walk away with the $100 million prize.
Thank you for giving everyone a wonderful show. "
All the viewers felt sorry for Ball, who failed 15 questions in a row.
The tears in his eyes were touching.
Just when the audience felt the cruelty of the quiz show for the first time, the host suddenly said:
"You are the first contestant to reach 15 questions and should be rewarded, so our Millionaire program team has prepared a consolation prize for you."
"Let me congratulate Player Ball with a round of applause for taking home $[-] in cash!"
With Ball's dismissal, today's live broadcast also came to an end.
People looked at the advertisers who thanked them with expressions of unsatisfied expressions.
Ball is only one step away from winning $100 million, and many people are interested in participating.
More viewers decided to send a letter to Paramount Network, asking them to increase the show's length and praising the show.
Early the next morning, Michael looked excitedly at the freshly released complete ratings.
After the Wang Real Estate commercial was inserted, the number of viewers reached its peak - nearly [-] households were watching to see who could become a millionaire.
The total viewership is as high as 500 million, and programs in the same prime segment have experienced large-scale ratings declines.
Needless to say, "Who Can Be a Millionaire" has become a hit in the entertainment industry news.
A rating of 500 million is really not worth mentioning in Friday's prime time slot.
But it's enough to talk about Paramount TV. You know, Paramount has never had more than 200 million viewers since its establishment.
On a highly competitive Friday, this was a rare achievement.
Even more surprising to the industry was the cost of producing Millionaire .
They originally thought that with so much bonus money, the program would cost a huge amount of production costs.
But they did a careful calculation for Paramount.
Because there is no need to invite any guest stars, all contestants participating in the Q&A are amateurs who signed up independently, and the recording is extremely simple. Paramount only needs to free up a recording stage.
The hourly cost of indoor variety shows in the industry is around US$50, while a conservative estimate for millionaires is only around US$25.
Where can I find such a cost-effective and eye-catching program?
The four major television stations sensed that the popularity of Millionaire was inevitable.
Fortunately, this program is broadcast weekly, so the ratings of their Saturday and Sunday programs will not be affected.
But at this moment, extremely bad news came out.
Seeing how popular Millionaire is, Paramount responded to overwhelming requests from viewers who wrote in.
They will extend the program to 2 hours, and it will be broadcast on Friday and Saturday!
If he wasn't worried about aesthetic fatigue, Michael would have liked to broadcast it for three consecutive days.
The four major radio stations that got the news felt like they were mourning.
Paramount Television also announced another piece of good news.
Next Sunday will be broadcast a sports challenge program called "Everyone Goes Forward". People are welcome to come and challenge. The bonus for successfully completing the challenge is US$[-]. You can also participate in the quarterly championship challenge to compete for the grand prize of US$[-]. !
The four major radio stations had a very bad premonition, and Paramount wanted to take advantage of the victory. It had just tasted the sweetness of the quiz show, and it wanted to introduce the program to the outdoors.
Just when everyone was trying their best to imitate the successful model of Millionaire, Paramount itself gave the best answer.
Their producer slapped his forehead in frustration:
"How could I never come up with such a great idea?"
This is when Wang Lei saw a muscular man and thought of a perverted adventure show in the beautiful country. The final annual grand prize is 100 million in prize money.
Sports adventure programs have always been popular, and there is no shortage of viewers no matter which country they are placed in.
Moreover, bodybuilding and fitness have always been popular in Beautiful Country. In Long Country, there is a pharmacy within a few steps, and in other places, there is a gym within a few steps.
This type of breakthrough show that showcases strength and endurance has not yet started airing, and professionals have predicted that the ratings of this show will not be worse than that of Millionaire.
The four major TV stations are really crying. Millionaire has occupied the prime time slots on Fridays and Saturdays, and now another one is coming on Sunday. The ratings of their flagship program will definitely be greatly impacted.
It is also true that on the first weekend of June, millionaires welcome their children's summer vacation.
After a week of fermentation, the ratings of Millionaire have reached a new peak!
More than [-] million families choose to watch "Who Will Be a Millionaire" on Friday night, a variety quiz show suitable for all ages.
As soon as the news came out, the first people who couldn't sit still were the major brands.
So far, Millionaire has only one sponsor, and that's Wang Properties.
According to relevant media reports, after two weeks of the program, Wang Real Estate’s pre-sale housing transaction volume has reached a new peak.
The other party's slogan of zero down payment was so explosive that the working renters who saw the advertisement on the program were very moved and immediately called Wang Real Estate to inquire about zero down payment loans.
The sales office of Wang Real Estate was crowded with people, and for the first time, beautiful Chinese people enjoyed the blessing of queuing up to buy pre-sale houses.
