They are both game shows on Hong Kong Wireless Jade Channel, hosted by Eric Tsang. The time slots are just different. Some time after the end of the earliest Super Invincible Awards, the Invincible Awards was launched, and later became In the final version of the first issue, it was originally announced that this program would no longer be launched (for more than 10 years), but this year it re-launched The Invincible Men. It is probably because of the high ratings that Jade Channel did not want to give up. The three programs are basically the same. , except for a slight change in the name and a slight change in the game project, there is no difference in nature and form.

Secrets for prizes: Marathon, eating, and table tennis
Background: In the 1950s and 1960s, Japan produced a large number of TV game programs, such as "The Funny Three" "Group", "Program No. 55", "Eight O'Clock Gathering", etc., all use artists and hosts to play games and make fun of the audience, which won a lot of ratings and was imitated by students. In the 1970s and 1980s, "Funny Now" Large-scale game shows such as "Come Out", "Why Don't You Smile", and "Super Change" are more large-scale, with puzzle games, exaggerated performances and huge bonuses. "Sunday Eight O'clock Party", "Super Sunday", "Rock Paper Scissors", and "Guess I Guess I Guess" which became popular in Taiwan in the 1990s are also one of the research subjects of the "Prize Doorman" crew.
Producer He Liquan: At that time, Eric Tsang was still on ATV and produced a series of fun drama-style programs, such as "Happy Mainstream". When we saw that it was good, we immediately hired him over and conceived new programs for him. We also did one or two series of similar programs at the beginning, but the overall feeling was similar and could not surpass the previous programs. We looked at programs from Japan and Taiwan, and "Prize Doorman" came into being. The idea of ??the prize gatekeeper is to integrate all the reference things and create a large-scale game show with Hong Kong characteristics. The host's style is relatively "normal", with Eric Tsang, Lin Xiaofeng and Jordan Chan all wearing their own ordinary clothes.

Secrets for the prize: sip ping-pong balls, squirt milk, and measure tongues
Background: At this time, "Kinki Fight" became popular in Japan, and Taiwan's variety shows took pleasure in the "bitter meat trick", treating a group of artists to all kinds of evil. Starting from "The Invincible Prize Men", many things have undergone subversive changes .
He Liquan: The game is still the original mode, but the content is new and weird. The three hosts use different costumes and exaggerated body movements in each episode to create a different entertainment effect. At that time, the "easiest kissing game" in the history of "Prize Doorman" - sipping ping pong balls, the "most controversial game" - milk spraying and the "most disgusting game" - tongue measurement were produced.
We tried our best on the host’s hair, makeup, and styling. This is the first important change; in addition, after the audience got used to our games, the guests began to have a lot of physical problems. With more contact, the game design becomes even crazier. The prize gatekeepers became naughty and disobedient, and the show was spicy and choked.

Secrets to the award: Join a beautiful girl to host, broadcast five episodes a week, and win individual awards in tons
Background: In 1999, ATV preemptively purchased "Huan Zhu Ge Ge" and premiered it in Hong Kong. By mid-July, the ratings had reached 24 points, which not only refreshed the station's ratings record in more than 30 years, but also broke the inertial ratings of wireless prime time. leadership position. TVB's several attempts at restructuring were unsuccessful, and prime-time ratings fell across the board.
In desperation, TVB made a last ditch effort and repackaged and launched the "Prize Doorman" game with extremely high inertial ratings. With over 10 million in bonuses and tons of individual awards, various celebrities were recruited, and a sexy beauty hosted the game. On Monday Intensive broadcast on Friday.
Ho Lai-chuen: Eric Tsang once threatened that it was a "holy war". If the local production lost, he would immediately take the baggage and leave. Since "Prize Doorman" has been off the air for nearly half a year, it was suddenly called upon. In the absence of creativity, we had to come up with some new ideas in the packaging. In addition to Eric Tsang and his old partners Qian Jiale and Lin Xiaofeng, the hosting lineup added the fun and smart Lan Qian and Ou Qingyi, eight beautiful girls and the newly elected Miss Hong Kong, as well as Cai Huimin who performed many sexy performances, newcomer Feng Xiaoqing, and newcomer Li Cansen served as guest hosts, and they are also extremely wealthy.
The addition of "Prize Gate" brought the ratings war between TVB and ATV into a stalemate. Prize Gate finally completed the overloaded two-month war mission and retired with success.

Secrets for the prize: sandwich bread, evaluate singers, sit in rows, big TV, play wild
Background: The prize gatekeepers are becoming more and more mature. While increasing the ratings, the "prize gatekeeper format" has become more and more popular. The wireless music program "Golden Songs" imitated the "prize gatekeepers" and created many gimmicks. For example, Gossip's "big forced confessions in the music industry" have caused artists to suffer, and Nicholas Tse also verbally attacked TVB and other game shows as boring. In May 2001, ATV purchased the British puzzle game show "Millionaire", which instantly made the popular game show about playing tricks on celebrities become old-fashioned, and the audience also started to favor quiz games again.
He Liquan: In the middle of the program, when we design the game, we hope that the audience can not only play it at home, but also play it at some friend gatherings, festive banquets, and large banquets, such as bread buns, singing songs, etc. They are all games that everyone can play at the banquet. But another meaning of "mature" is "about to die." Wireless intends to use 5 years as a limit to allow the award-winning fans to leave the screen for a while, so on March 17, 2001, the award-winning fans made a charity donation in the form of a 100-episode celebration. Declare "collection of mountains".

< p>Background: "Millionaire" has become a new urban myth, and later appeared one after another DoDo's "Out of pocket", Zheng Danrui's "The wisest thing is to win", Huang Zihua's "On the verge of breaking out"... For a time, it was not funny or not. Flashy and brain-demanding games crowd the screen.Ho Lai-chuen: The gameplay of puzzle games is difficult and has never been to the taste of Hong Kong people. We decided to resume "Jiu Men", but "Jiu Men" himself has long been tired. "My Family of Prize Men" is at a low point and cannot break through at all. However, at the same time, due to the influence of puzzle games, Prize Men also began to use some large-scale props to bring out a sense of technology.

Background: Eric Tsang complained that there had been no joyful programs for more than a year. Sam Hui's "Continue to Smile Concert" brought long-lost happiness and emotion to Hong Kong people. Inspired by Sam, the prize organizers put forward the slogan "Continue to be Invincible".
He Liquan: When we were making plans for the next year in July 2004, we suddenly thought that the prize gate had just reached its tenth year. It would be better to package it with "tenth anniversary" and combine all the games we had played in the past. Games and newly conceived games are packaged into a ten-year celebration, pushing all aspects of the program to the extreme. Isn’t this a breakthrough? Zhiwei also felt that Chinese people like to be perfect, so he announced that he would return to the world and become a prize disciple again.
There are sixty-seven people in the program production team and creative team, plus Eric Tsang, who have been in this team for ten years. We are not afraid of being said to be copying the old bridge, but we will definitely try our best to make it Packed into new things, I will ask the creative team to add one or two new games every eight episodes or so. This time, more than 30 episodes have been interspersed with many different games. Things like walking on Shichun Road and drinking soda are already outdated. We Then there was Blowing Candles, and now there is Dachanglu.
The highest ratings of the program were achieved at the beginning of this year, with 37 points, exceeding 90% share. We wanted to stop when it was at its peak, but we didn’t want to stop until the ratings dropped, so we held the Ultimate Prize Men’s Ten Years Ceremony.
