"Damn! Is this Wang Shang a monster? Oriental TV has overtaken him again!!" Jiang Tiande, the station director of Xiangnan TV, saw the news about Oriental TV's "Millionaire" in the newspaper and became depressed again.
When he first saw "Slumdog Millionaire", Jiang Tiande knew that the "Slumdog Millionaire" program in the movie would be a hit. Later, he heard that the "Slumdog Millionaire" program had begun to appear in the United States, and the ratings
Extremely high!! So Jiang Tiande immediately sent people to the United States to find the TV station where "Millionaire" is located, and wanted to obtain the Chinese production and broadcast rights of "Millionaire".
Unexpectedly, after arriving, I found out that the production and broadcasting rights were with a film company in the EU, so I rushed to the EU without stopping, and then I was informed that the production and broadcasting rights in China were not for sale.
This result immediately depressed Jiang Tiande.
Not only Jiang Tiande, there are many Chinese TV stations that covet the production and broadcast rights of "Millionaire", but most TV stations know that the screenwriter of the movie "Slumdog Millionaire" is Wang Shang, plus he acquired
Oriental TV knew that its own TV station had no business, so it was not as stupid as Jiang Tiande.
However, when the "Millionaire" variety show was successively broadcast in various foreign countries and regions and achieved great success, these domestic TV stations inevitably became strongly jealous of Oriental TV, and the only way for them to vent their anger was to draw circles.
: "It is best if the guests in each issue can answer 15 questions correctly and win 1 million!"
But they also know that this is unlikely.

"Lin Yuanyuan? 15 years old? Too young, right? Are you afraid that the million-dollar prize will be taken away so you find such a young child? But he looks so cute and adorable!!"
"It's okay to be 15. After all, we are mature now and the Internet is developed. But what's going on with the 63-year-old Wu Sheng? Does he know foreign movies? Does he know football?"
"Support elementary school girl Yuanyuan to defeat adults, singers, and grandpas! Win the million-dollar prize!!"

"Director, in terms of advertising, we have received advertising quotations from nearly 50 merchants. The average price per second for commercial breaks is around 4,000-6,000 yuan." The assistant came in with a piece of data and reported.
"4,000-6,000 yuan? Haha, not bad! In other words, even if 1 million is taken away, we will still make a profit." Ke Jinggong smiled brightly when he heard the good news.
Since "Millionaire" has become more and more popular, more and more businesses have come to negotiate, and the advertising price has also increased by leaps and bounds. From the original tens of yuan per second to the current thousands of yuan per second, it is a big leap!
!
The sharp increase in advertising fees has also made the "Millionaire" column team extremely excited. Although it was the first time to organize, stage settings, music, lighting, computer vision, question bank, question design, and contestant selection, it took a lot of effort.
It's a lot, but with good results, all the hard work will be in vain.
Ke Jinggong thought for a while and said to his assistant: "Tell the column team that as long as this column is successful, the bonus at the end of the month will be tripled!!"
The sharp increase in advertising fees made Ke Jinggong become more energetic.
When the news that the bonus had been tripled reached the ears of the staff of the column team, everyone immediately became excited. All kinds of flattering sounds came one after another, and the original fatigue and fatigue seemed to be relieved a lot.

A certain family...
After the husband washed the dishes, he was about to wait for the start of "Mulan". Unexpectedly, his wife grabbed the remote control in her hand. "Wife, what channel is this? I want to watch "Mulan" on Jiangsu TV."
Wife: "No, "Millionaire" is about to start."
The husband was stunned: "'Millionaire'? Will it be broadcast tonight? It must be watched!"
Just like this family, families across the country began to turn on their TVs one after another and chose the Oriental TV variety show channel.
The leaders of Oriental TV Station were very nervous. They were afraid that the greater their hopes, the greater their disappointment.
The time is getting closer to 20:00...
The program's preview clips have already begun to play, and the contestants are answering questions. Each of these clips is tingling the nerves of every audience in front of the TV...
