The reality show didn't offer many iing tasks to perform. From CBS, it is uood that most of the time shows o be captivating, and only a novel program make people pay attention.
Jim Wait was overseeing all the procedures along with Jim Gianopulus, almost as producers. Since Sony acquired bia, Hollywood has turs ba them and pys a distant game, a game that tradicts everything. All panies have always had solid unity, Sony's isotion, and the hand of a young man that extends like an olive branch for new produs. The same iation has allowed Sony to find new allies everywhere, from directors to small producers, and indepe film produ panies.
-Is it certain that the program will run by December 1994? - asked Daniel Jadd, the official producer of the series, who directed the behind-the-ses intricacies of the entire anization of the -Who Wants to Be a Millionaire - program.
-Sure, with all the team presented by you, - said Jim Gianopulus. For the TV program, Thomas Carson's legal team was good; they drafted a forty-page tract c all important topics, such as the game rules of the program. A program must be clear about how it works and ecific rules must be delivered.
The program will be based on multiple-choiswers (A, B, bsp; D). After answering the question, the host will ask if that is the correswer.The partits must agree that, if they participate in the program, they ot unicate with anyone from the audieside the publid through teological unication devices.The partit has two opportuo choose in the multiple-choice sele process. The correswer has aimated time of 30 seds to choose the correswer, ohe host asks if it is correct.For the use of multiple-choice options, if one of their aurns out to be wrong, the problem lies in the choice of their didates. For audience-based answer questions, and help for answers, the audience may not have the correct option.For the use of multiple-choice options, if one of the answers requires a phone call to a friend, they must request a maximum of three phoo be dialed by a minimum of two avaible persons, if they do not have a phone avaible from their three partits, as a st option, they dial a number if no answer is found, they will lose the phone-a-friehere are lifelines and insurahe money will accumute until they answer correctly and reach the insurahe insurance will be every five answered questions, in amounts of 1000, 32,000, and 1,000,000....
The rules went on and were formuted repetitively, making it clear that each rule was pletely rigid.
-So, let's be clear, for the call capture, we'll use some huge offices, and at least fifty calls will e in, we'll pick up the phones randomly, regardless of the number of calls, - said Jim, reviewing the call requirements and the people who must be selected.
-Yes, it was mentiohat we will make a public call at the end of the program, which will be live to capture the audience's attention. There must be a signifit mystery in the program, for ao get rich, the members must be teachers, pnt workers, builders, and even immigrants, we don't care about that. We want to gee a great otion a people to tune in after the m news, - said Jim Gianopulus, questioning teical advas, and more importantly, capturing attention, along with the appliade by ID software of the puter game "Who Wants to Be a Millionaire?" It had an algorithm of at least 60,000 questions, some of which were simir to those on the program, but after 32,000, the answers were uo the program. The payment of the 9 advisers who created the questions and uploaded them to a website, on each special topic, was endable work.
-We're w on it, but yes... we have a whole team to broadcast the signal live, - said Daniel Jadd.
Jim Gianopulus he program's headquarters would be set up in different locations, one in Los Angeles, and another in New York. Each location was close, from east to west. Some per diems would be paid, but most of the calls would be cimed from nearby pces.

Billy was gazing at the Vienna skyline from a rge square, watg passersby while Julie made some trips, buying souvenirs or enjoying some street artists.
Billy began to sketch the ndscape, starting with a long view every week, a giant panoramic view in various ways. Sometimes he ged the outlines of the byrinth, sometimes he arrahe closest houses and created a medieval structure, removing all modernity from the map, and improvising in some parts that he straightened.
-You're still at it, - said Julie.
-I do what I but like to modify the whole design. Now I'm making it modern, maybe a thousand years ahead. What's up? Why do you look so serious? - said Billy.
-Well, it turns out I uand who you are very well. The press has been all over you for the past five days. I must say, I didn't expect you to have a romantic retionship with three other actresses, - said Julie, serious, and hitting Billy in disbelief.
Supposedly, he would arrive in San Jose in five days. Jim Wait had been calling stantly, but he didn't want to respond while he cleared his mind in the oasis of Vienna. The freedom he had enjoyed i few months was refreshing. He only took meetings on Thursdays and Fridays with important people. Without paying attention, the meeting would be in two days, over the phone, and then he would arrive in San Jose and resume his duties.
-Hasn't yeiohe situation? - asked Julie.
-I might have ignored my agent to seek some peace, - said Billy.
-Bill, you should be careful. If yent calls you more than twice, it must be something important. Very irresponsible of you, - said Julie.
-All my calls are usually important, - said Billy.
Julie rolled her eyes as she took a seat o Billy. She already khe boy's humor, and it was best to keep quiet whe into his petunt attitude, his hollow phrases, and his cold smile that spoke from the outside, not from within. Julie only ehat it would serve him well in interviews or in front of the paparazzi. She might be wrong, but the article mentioning a fortune of over a billion dolrs roof enough to say he was a brilliant businessman.
Billy focused on the neers, reading the press articles carefully. Every article in the press was important to him. It spoke about his private life, and his business life, and eveioned answers about various activities he had already fotten, like his retionships in middle school, teachers he didn't remember, and cssmates he had never noticed.
-I think my days will be somewhat hectic. Have you ever experienced anything simir? - Billy asked.
-I have no idea. After all, I'm just an actress with some roles. I've tried to downpy my fame and not accept big produs. I prefer art, - said Julie.
