C383 Emergency stop (1/2)

On Monday night, Shao Yifu, accompanied by Fang Yihua, personally came to the first plant of Wireless Television Limited.

A spacious scene had already been set up here. The 270-degree circular auditorium was surrounded by a podium in the middle. On the podium, there were two computer screens and two high rotating chairs.

Regardless of whether it was the audience or the main platform, they all exuded a modern style and a faint sense of knowledge. And this, was precisely the ”Millionaire” program scene which had been set up by Wireless Television Limited within the span of ten days.

All the staff were busily preparing. Several cameras were aimed at the stage in the middle. Although there were no audience members, hosts or competitors, just looking at these staff members was enough to make one feel nervous.

Moreover, as the program producer, Xue Qiyi and Qian Guowei were both personally present at the scene.

Looking at all this, Shao Yifu secretly nodded his head. At this time, as the host of Millionaire, Zheng Yuling also came to the scene.

She was dressed in a black professional suit. At first glance, she looked exactly like those professionals, both steady and generous.

Seeing Shao Yifu and Fang Yihua over there, Zheng Yu Ling hurried over to greet them: ”Sixth Uncle, Sixth Aunt.”

”Is everything ready?” Shao Yifu asked her: ”This program is very important to the company, I can only succeed and not fail, do you know?”

Although Zheng Yu Ling had many years of experience as a host, but she had never seen Shao Yifu being so serious, and she was not only a little nervous in her heart.

In particular, this《 Millionaire》 was not recorded beforehand and then broadcast at a specific time. In order to create a greater publicity stunt and attract more people, Shao Yifu directly made this series into a live broadcast.

Thus, when the broadcast began, the host was not allowed to make any mistakes.

At this time, Shao Yifu turned his head towards Qian Guowei and asked, ”Guowei, what program is it that the Asia Television Limited is planning to broadcast tonight?”

”It's still the same dramas as before, without any changes.” Qian Guowei smiled excitedly, ”When that new boss with Asia Television Limited sees our set of 'Millionaire', I wonder what kind of expression he will have.”

Shao Yifu and Fang Yihua looked at each other and laughed, obviously interested in the question as well.

The time was quickly nearing 9.30 in the evening, and from 9.30 to 10.30 in the evening, it was the prime time slot in the Wireless Television Limited.

Shao Yifu had intentionally placed ”Millionaire” at this time, firstly, to attract more spectators, and secondly, to show off his strength to the Asia Television Limited.

Zheng Yuling had already taken her seat at the host's table. The audience and participants were all present.

After the director counted down with his finger, a burst of music started playing. The camera also zoomed in on the host, Zheng Yuling.

Zheng Yuling smiled at the camera and said, ”Good evening, everyone. This is Millionaire. I am your host, Zheng Yuling.”

Seeing Zheng Yuling's calm and collected hosting, Shao Yifu, Xue Qiyi and the rest who were below the stage heaved a sigh of relief.

And then, everything followed according to the execution written in the proposal. The contestants would go up on stage, answer questions, use the embroidered bags, and so on. Everything was done in an orderly manner.

Soon, half an hour had passed. Qian Guowei was exceptionally excited as he said to Shao Yifu, ”Sixth Uncle, the viewership ratings are rising very quickly. It has almost reached 30!”

Shao Yifu was very happy, but he only smiled slightly, ”How is your Asia Television Limited?”

Qian Guowei shook his head. ”There's no reaction.”

”They must be flustered.” Fang Yihua laughed: ”I never thought that we would be the first to produce and broadcast 'Millionaire'.”

Shao Yifu smiled and nodded, but at that moment, a staff member ran over anxiously and said to Qian Guowei, ”Supervisor, the SARFT has called and asked us to stop broadcasting 'Millionaire' immediately!”

The staff member's words caused everyone's face to change drastically. Qian Guowei had not even spoken when Shao Yifu walked over and grabbed the staff member's arm and asked: What did you say? The SARFT wants us to stop broadcasting Millionaire? ”What's going on?”

This authority, known as the Hong Kong Broadcasting Authority, is responsible for the administration of television broadcasting in Hong Kong and is equivalent to that of the domestic Broadcasting Authority.

”I'm not sure about the details, but the SARFT said we infringed this set of Millionaires.” Facing the highest decision maker of the Wireless Television Limited, this staff member was a little nervous, but he still spoke the truth.

”How is this possible!” Fang Yihua was the first to shout out, ”How can we violate the rules!?” Earlier, he had asked the Customs Huang Chao Hong and the International Intellectual Property Protection Center's Robeson about it. Asia Television Limited had never applied for a copyright patent from them.

Furthermore, Fang Yihua had also submitted the copyright for ”The Millionaire” to these two institutions on behalf of Wireless Television Limited. Huang Chao Hong and the others had already accepted the patent.
