Deal or No Deal (Malaysia, Chinese version)
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The Malaysian Chinese-language edition of Deal or No Deal (Chinese:一擲千金, pinyin: yī zhí qiān jīn) is currently being aired on ntv7 at 7pm every Monday and Tuesday beginning 12 March 2007. Being the first Mandarin language version of Deal or No Deal anywhere in the world, it is hosted by Goh Wee Ping. Prizes range from 10 sen to RM100,000, hidden in 26 cases each held by a "Revlon girl" (i.e. the girls' appearance is sponsored by Revlon).
In each episode, six contestants join in the preliminary round in which the fastest one to answer two questions correctly progresses into the major "Deal or No Deal" stage. The lucky contestant would select one out of 26 cases, hoping that the chosen case has the largest bounty. After that he/she needs to reveal six other cases before hearing the first offer.
The unseen and unheard "Banker" communicates to Goh through the phone, from which he reads out the Banker's offer to the contestant, tempting him/her with the catchphrase 賣或不賣 {mài huò bú mài, lit. "to sell or not to sell"), which actually means Deal or No Deal. As usual, if the contestant chooses not to deal he/she would have to reveal a number of unselected cases still held by the Revlon girls.
But when he/she makes the deal (by pushing a stylized red button enclosed in a glass case), or rejects the final offer with only one unselected case remaining he/she will answer an important question. If he/she answers correctly he/she gets the full amount of cash offered, otherwise he/she would only take a fraction of it. (Actually, for this version, the contestant only gets 80% of the proceeds; the remaining 20% goes to an SMS contest winner for every episode.)
