The first episode of the program was recorded. The few leaders looked at each other. No one knew what to say. This program was good. It was interesting, knowledgeable, and exciting. But the professor had lost to an ordinary worker. Would this work?
Deputy Chief Jia also looked for Feng Yu to discuss. Was this too much? The first episode had a failed professor, an ordinary worker, and a housewife. But the professor had lost to an ordinary worker. Deputy Chief Jia also did not know what would happen.
Luckily this was a recorded program, and the program will be broadcasted after New Year. There was still time to adjust.
"Feng Yu, from the audience's reaction, it is not bad. But can it be broadcasted?"
"Chief Jia, think about it. Most of the audience are Peking University's students. They are relatives and friends of Peking University. If they did not object, what about the rest of the audience? A worker can win against a professor. Isn't this a good promotional point? "
"Promotional point?"
"That's right. From now on, the radio and newspapers will be advertising the contents of the first episode. The title will be 'Professor loses to a worker'. I guarantee that the first episode's ratings will be high." Feng Yu said confidently.
Publicity also needed to have a gimmick. Otherwise, ordinary publicity might be forgotten by others after a glance. But once this title is announced, it will attract the attention of many people.
The next day, Beijing Daily, Longjiang Daily, and other provincial newspapers had the same title. "Professor loses to a worker!"
Many people were interested when they saw the title. They even gave up on other news and read this first. How could a professor lose to a worker? Could it be a fight?
If it was a fight, that gentle professor would not be a match for the worker. Why would a professor fight with a worker?
Eh? Why is it a quiz show?
Impossible. One side was a professor from Peking University. That was a professor from Peking University. How could he lose to a worker from the northeast?
This worker was also a university student? What? This worker only had a Junior High education?
When they finished reading the newspaper, they saw the last sentence. For more details, please watch the new quiz show on January 2nd, 1994 at 7: 40 pm. "Wind and rain – Happy Dictionary"!
There were also registration methods. There were phone and mail registration.
After that, there was nothing else. There were no rules of the program, the content of the questions, the specific selection method, and so on.
But because there was nothing, people were more interested to know how this program was conducted. A normal factory worker with only a middle school education, how could he beat a professor from Beijing University in a quiz show? Some curious people even started to register.
When the newspaper was published, it caused an uproar. The first person to be affected was Professor Zhao from Peking University.
As a professor from China's top university, he lost to a junior high school worker in a quiz. Had the professors from Beijing University fallen, or that worker was knowledgeable?
Even if that worker had three heads and six arms, a professor from Peking University must not lose!
The leaders of Peking University also saw the newspaper. They had a bad feeling. This incident would affect the reputation of Peking University. Which department was Professor Zhao from? Hurry up and ask him!
… …
"This is the question you answered the other day?" The leaders of the university gathered together and looked at a piece of paper in their hands. On the paper, Professor Zhao had written down the questions based on his memory.
The leaders looked at each other and swallowed their saliva. It seemed that some of them were not sure about the answers to the questions.
"How many questions did you answer correctly?" A vice-principal asked.
"Nine questions. I got the tenth question wrong."
They quickly looked at the tenth question. The probability of the tricolor cat's gender. A, 99% female; B, 99% male; C, 100% male.
They looked at each other. According to the analysis of the questions, the probability of the tricolor cat being a male was higher. But nothing was absolute. It was impossible to be 100% male. This question must be B, 99% male.
"What did you choose?"
"I chose B." Professor Zhao replied.
The leaders of the university were dumbfounded. What? B was wrong? Was the answer C?
Professor Zhao continued: "The correct answer is A. This is a common sense question. It can also be considered a genetic question. When I came back, I asked a biology professor and got the answer. According to genetics … … "
Professor Zhao's answer was wrong, and he was not satisfied. When he came back, he looked for a biology professor and found out why the answer was A.
The leaders of the university did not know what to say. They were not as good as Professor Zhao. At least Professor Zhao had answered nine questions correctly. But why did he lose to a worker? It was better if he lost to a university student.
After asking, they found out that the worker only knew four of the questions. He had asked for help and answered three questions correctly. The rest were all guesses!
Guesses! A worker had won against a Peking University professor with guesses. They did not know whether to laugh or cry.
When they found out that Professor Zhao had participated in this program to raise funds for his hometown's education, they could not say anything. If any of them said that Professor Zhao should not participate, what would they look like if word got out?
However, after looking at the questions, they felt a lot more at ease. They reckoned that Huaqing University would definitely send someone to participate. When the time came, with Huaqing University at the bottom, they wouldn't be embarrassed. Yes, even if Huaqing University did not want to participate, they would encourage them.
Just as they were thinking, the phone on the Principal's desk rang.
"Hello, Old Chu. Today's Beijing Daily? I read it. What's wrong … … You are talking about Professor Zhao. It's nothing. Although he lost, it was an honorable defeat … … Your Huaqing University also has a professor who signed up. The recording will be in two days? Hmph, I have no time to eat with you. If there's nothing else, I will hang up! "
After hanging up, the Peking University Principal smiled. Before he could even guide them, Huaqing University had taken the initiative to send someone to participate. Every year, you compete with us for good students, but our Peking University is ranked first. You are only ranked second!
What? Do you think that by sending a professor to demonstrate your strength, more students will want to enroll in your school? Haha, it would be fine if you had such good luck. Unfortunately, I'm guessing that the professor you sent won't even be able to pass the third round. When that time comes, it will be your Huaqing University that loses face!
CCTV's "Wind and rain – Happy Dictionary" program team suddenly received many calls to apply for the program. What surprised them the most was that most of the applicants were university professors. There were even some from Huaqing University.
But the program team remembered what Feng Yu had said. This was a stage for commoners, and there should not be so many professors participating. So, the program team selected two professors based on the school's reputation. One of them was the professor from Huaqing University.
But they were sighing. This Huaqing University professor thought that this question was easy to answer? When he came to participate in the recording, he knew that he had underestimated the difficulty of the questions.
After this program was broadcasted, no other professors would dare to apply for the program. All professors valued their reputation and could not afford to lose their reputation! Even if the professor did not mind, the school would not agree!
