Chapter 876: It's too unsophisticated
"Mr. Shao, do you still remember the Silkworm Transformation?"
The special seat for afternoon tea at the Peninsula Hotel Shao Yifu, Qiao Feng, Shao Yifu, and Fang Yihua, three wireless executives, are eating exquisite pastries and drinking black tea.
As a result, Qiao Feng's question changed the faces of Shao Yifu and Fang Yihua, and he stopped eating the pastries and drinking the black tea.
"What do you mean, Mr. Joe?" Shao Yifu didn't speak, and Fang Yihua was already a little impatient to ask.
"It's literal." Qiao Feng had an innocent expression on his face.
Fang Yihua was so hung that she was choked to death by Qiao Feng, but she couldn't expose herself ugly, so she could only hold her breath and stare at Qiao Feng fiercely.
Looking at Fang Yihua, who was so angry that he had nothing to say, and Shao Yifu, who looked calm, but his face couldn't help but tremble twice, Qiao Feng smiled secretly in his heart.
Silkworm Transformation is a drama series filmed by Li's TV station, which is now the predecessor of ATV.
This series is nothing to others, it's just a hit TV series, but asking from Qiao Feng's mouth right now is very sarcastic for Shao Yifu and Fang Yihua.
Because on the TV series Silkworm Transformation, Shao Yifu and Fang Yihua did some shameless things.
Wireless back then, just like now, was the overlord of the Hong Kong TV circle, and now it is the same as suppressing ATV, and the wireless of that year was also too beautiful to raise its head.
Unwilling to be trampled on the ground, the high-level gold medal producer and screenwriter of Li's TV station, Mai Dangxiong and Xiao Sheng, plus the invited martial arts master Huang Ying and others, cooperated to write a martial arts script - Silkworm Transformation.
In order to shoot "Silkworm Transformation" well, Lidi spared no effort to mobilize manpower and material resources, and mobilized the best seven choreographers in the station: Xu Xiaoming, Li Dawei, Tang Jiming, Fan Xiuming, Li Yimin, Lai Shuiqing and Huang Tailai, etc., and two martial arts instructors: Cheng Xiaodong and Han Yisheng. Each episode is discussed by the producer, the planning team, the editorial team and Huang Ying, and the official script is completed after careful changes.
Li's production of the Silkworm Transformation can be described as excellence, and the story written by many well-known screenwriters is a combination of detectives, suspense, fights, contradictions, children's private affairs, and the depiction of human nature with a bit of literary atmosphere.
It is not the sense of detachment from reality that ordinary martial arts dramas, but is full of the atmosphere of the times, the intrigue of the characters in the play, the feelings and hatred between people, are no different from the starting point of ordinary people.
Such a down-to-earth, well-made TV series that gives people a sense of substitution shook the entire TV circle as soon as it was broadcast, attracting countless viewers who used to stay in front of the TV and wait to watch the wireless unit drama.
In the popular saying of later generations, the Silkworm Transformation is a phenomenal TV series.
The premiere was watched by an average of more than one million viewers, which at the time of Hong Kong, which had a population of just over two million, which was an average of 40 percent.
It seems that it is still not as good as wireless, because the normal ratings of wireless are in forty or fifty, and good dramas are above sixty.
However, this average of 40% of the ratings was only due to the decline in the ratings after the wireless trick.
And before wireless did not make a trick, the ratings of the silkworm change broke the record of the highest ratings of Hong Kong TV dramas at that time.
At that time, TVB broadcast unit dramas from 8 to 9 o'clock every night (unlike long-form dramas, it is composed of several relatively independent units, and each story is an independent story), and Li's arrangement for "Silkworm Transformation" to be broadcast continuously every day from Monday to Friday night, successfully breaking the gap with wireless inertial ratings, completely breaking up all the unit dramas broadcast by wireless at that time from 8 to 9 o'clock, so that TVB cut all unit dramas in half two weeks later.
It was the first episode that wireless was forced to cut down by an opponent.
This makes the heart arrogant, how can Shao Yifu, who is used to being the boss, swallow this breath.
Forced to helpless, Wireless could only follow suit, and pulled back Zheng Shaoqiu, the chief martial arts student who was rushing to shoot a movie, from the set, and teamed up with Zhao Yazhi, Wang Mingquan, Huang Xingxiu, Chen Yulian, and Ouyang Peishan Wuhuadan to shoot another classic martial arts drama "Chu Liuxiang".
However, it will also take time to imitate Li's long-form martial arts films, and during this period, how should Wireless deal with the aggressiveness of Li's silkworm transformation?
Conventional responses don't work at all, because the silkworm has become a big trend.
In the end, the helpless Shao Yifu and Fang Yihua's two in-laws could only play tricks.
spent money to buy the actor Xu Shaoqiang, who was transformed into a silkworm, and asked him to boycott the act.
Although Xu Shaoqiang was Li's contracted artist at that time, he made his debut in wireless, and he was a student of wireless artist training like Zhou Yanfa and Liu Dehua.
Inspired by his old club............ Seduced by a large amount of tickets, Xu Shaoqiang was unexpectedly hit by a sugar-coated cannonball.
The production of TV dramas in Hong Kong is different from that in the mainland, the mainland is only scheduled to be broadcast after all the filming is completed, but Hong Kong is not, Hong Kong is broadcast while filming, and the actor refuses to shoot, which means that the TV series cannot be filmed.
You must know that Xu Shaoqiang at that time was to "Silkworm Transformation", just as Robert Downey Jr. was to "Iron Man", Johnny Depp was to "Pirates of the Caribbean", and Tom Cruise was to "Mission Impossible".
The indispensable leading actor of the TV series has gone on strike, a hit drama is about to be cut in half, and Li's TV station is gloomy.
In the end, there was really no way, Xiao Sheng, the producer of "Silkworm Transformation", personally led several martial artists to beg for people, but they didn't come.
If the martial arts trick fails, Li's sent Mai Dangjie to act as Xu Shaoqiang's manager, and follow him sooner or later, hoping that he can finish filming obediently, but there is nothing he can do.
The male lead actor is gone, and "Silkworm Transformation" is on the air, how can he be willing to cut off the beauty, so he had to change the script and pick out Gu Guanzhong from the Shaw Brothers.
Fortunately, the TV series is "Silkworm Transformation", saying that Yun Feiyang practiced the silkworm magic skills hard, and changed another appearance after breaking out of the cocoon, so he was replaced by Gu Guanzhong, and the plot layout was reasonable.
But since the audience has accepted Xu Shaoqiang's cloud flying, and then looking at Gu Guanzhong, they feel that they don't have that taste, and they still have a feeling of being fooled. Coupled with the fact that "Chu Liuxiang" began to be broadcast, the ratings of "Silkworm Transformation" are naturally not as good as before.
Playing tricks has ruined the chance for the first rise of the rival, which can be said to be the proud work of Shao Yifu and Fang Yihua's two in-laws, but it is also a sore foot and stain for the two.
But things are done, but they can't be said.
Now that Qiao Feng mentioned the Silkworm Transformation, the two naturally felt that Qiao Feng was mocking them for not paying attention to what they did at that time.
Of course, they obviously thought too much, so Qiao Feng was not so idle.
He mentioned the Silkworm Transformation just because the Silkworm Transformation has something to do with the topic to be talked about today.
"The silkworm change was very popular back then, and the silkworm transformation adapted by Huang Ying according to the TV series was also popular.And after the fire, Li's and Taiwan's Huashi adapted the two full-length martial arts dramas of Tianlong Jue and the silkworm again, which are still very popular. Wireless has good TV series suitable for adaptation, and I have people under my hands who have deep writing skills and can handle the adaptation.
