ATV Hong Kong, High-Level Meeting ---
ATV, which has temporarily survived the crisis, held its first high-level meeting.
Wu Siyuan, Xiang Huaqiang, Xiang Huasheng brothers, and Zou Wenhuai and other senior executives of ATV all attended.
According to past practice, as the chairman of ATV, Wu Siyuan should sit in the chairman's position at the front of the conference table.
After Wu Siyuan and the four of them entered the conference room, there was sporadic applause around them.
As the four leaders of ATV, Wu Siyuan and the others nodded at everyone, and they each found their seats and were just about to sit down, when the applause suddenly rose.
Bang Bang Bang!
Passionate.
Wu Siyuan, Xiang Huasheng, Xiang Huaqiang and Zou Wenhuai looked at each other, because those warm applause were not for them, but for the bald man Jin Jiu, who had just entered the house, as well as Liu Dehua and Zhou Xingchi.
It is understandable that during this difficult period of ATV, the bald guy Jin Jiu took Liu Dehua and Zhou Xingchi to not only pay ATV's employees and artists long-overdue salaries and salaries, but also briefly saved ATV from bankruptcy.
This is definitely a great favor for countless people who rely on ATV to survive and eat, which is why everyone is so grateful and respectful to Jin Jiu and the three of them, and they can't help but applaud loudly after they come in.
But everyone's warm applause for Jin Jiu, Liu Dehua and Zhou Xingchi was a slap in the face in the eyes of Wu Siyuan, the Xiang brothers and others.
After Wu Siyuan sat down, he coughed very embarrassedly, and then squeezed out a smile and said to Jin Jiu, Liu Dehua and Zhou Xingchi: "Three, you have worked hard recently. ATV suffered a catastrophe, internal and external troubles, you have worked really hard during this time, if you didn't help and help in the back, I'm afraid we wouldn't even be able to hold a meeting this time. ”
Jin Jiu smiled slightly and said, "This is everyone's credit, and the three of us just did our best." ”
Liu Dehua said: "Yes, since we are the top management of ATV, of course we have to share the worries of ATV." ”
Zhou Xingchi was not as kind as Liu Dehua, and said meanly: "Unlike some people, they only think of themselves when disaster comes!"
As soon as these words came out, there was an immediate silence around them.
Wu Siyuan, Xiang Huasheng, Xiang Huaqiang's brothers, and Zou Wenhuai were all ashamed.
"Ahem, in fact, we are all ashamed now, as the leadership of ATV, we were not able to come forward to rescue the ATV crisis as soon as possible......" Wu Siyuan is a veteran of the entertainment industry after all, and immediately eased the atmosphere and said: "But it turns out that heroes are teenagers...... It is with the three of you that ATV can turn the corner. ”
Next to him, Zou Wenhuai, who had not spoken much, suddenly said: "Having said that, the ATV crisis has not passed......
When everyone heard this, they couldn't help but look at Zou Wenhuai, knowing that this big guy would not be untargeted, and he must have something to say.
Sure enough, Zou Wenhuai took out a cigarette, lit it and said: "As we all know, this ATV crisis is because someone is making a ghost in the back, and halfway sucked away the funds that ATV relies on for development--- with the impact of this incident, there are many people who are not very optimistic about ATV, and now they are even more worried about the future development of ATV, which can be seen from ATV's performance in the stock market." ”
Everyone couldn't help but nod.
Indeed, the recent series of turmoil in ATV has caused panic among people, not only Hong Kong people are not optimistic about ATV, but even ATV's own employees and artists are not optimistic about ATV's prospects.
"Therefore, I think that at present, ATV wants to really turn over, unless a few big productions are made, and the ratings will surpass TVB. Zou Wenhuai held a cigarette, flicked it on the ashtray, and continued: "Only in this way can everyone regain confidence in ATV---, in fact, I have been in ATV for so long, I understand a truth, making TV is the same as making movies, movies pursue the box office, and when the box office is high, there will be money; ”
At this time, Xiang Huasheng suddenly said: "That being said, we are all good at making movies, comedy, action, horror, we can make money in any genre, but the limitations of TV series are too great, many of them can't be filmed, and if they can't be filmed, they can't attract audiences, and if they can't attract audiences, how can they find advertising agencies? Without advertising agencies, of course TV stations will be weak!"
"Hehe, Mr. Zou, Boss Xiang, you and I are both filmmakers, to be precise, we are from film, we are used to filming in order to make money, and it is inevitable to dance in handcuffs when doing TV, and we ......---are a little embarrassed by ourselves; Since we can solve ATV's last crisis, maybe we can solve ATV's ratings this time!" The old fox Wu Siyuan held a freshly lit big cigar and looked at Liu Dehua and Zhou Xingchi with a smile.
Everyone else also looked at these two Hong Kong superstars, and couldn't help but agree with Wu Siyuan's words.
If a TV series is not good-looking, in addition to the storyline, the most important thing is the appeal of the actors.
It's a pity that many actors on TV have good acting skills, but their appeal is too weak, like ATV's recently praised kung fu student Zhen Zidan, but he was born in movies, but he has not been popular, and his appeal is not enough now. The other two ATV students, Jiang Hua and Lu Songxian, have accumulated some popularity by relying on several big dramas, but they are still much weaker than Liu Dehua and Zhou Xingchi, who were still in the TV station back then.
You must know that when Liu Dehua was in TVB, he starred in big productions with super high ratings such as "Falcon" and "The Condor Heroes";
It can be said that whether it is Liu Dehua or Zhou Xingchi, they are the two most successful "kings" who switched from TV to movies.
If they are willing to lower their heads, bury their bodies, and shoot TV series for ATV, the gimmick of "The Return of the King" alone can bring ATV back to life.
But will they?
......
In Hong Kong, filming and filming are two circles, although both circles belong to the entertainment industry, but one is in the sky and the other is on the ground.
To be precise, many times, TV actors try their best to squeeze their scalps into the film industry, and I haven't seen a few people who will lower their prices and drill from the film industry to the TV industry--- unless they can't get along, such as Zhen Zidan.
Zhen Zidan has a very high starting point in the Hong Kong film industry, and his first play was favored by the eighth master, and he filmed an action movie about break dancing, called "Love Rivals".
After this drama was staged, it was not popular, but Zhen Zidan continued to be reused by a director because of his good skills, and shot a lot of kung fu films in one go in the late eighties, such as "High Voltage Line", "Money Laundering" and other classic films.
But with the decline of traditional kung fu films in Hong Kong, Zhen Zidan had to be reduced from the protagonist to a supporting role in order to live, playing the big eunuch "Cao Shaoqin" in "New Dragon Gate Inn", and playing Jet Li in "Huang Feihong's Boy Should Be Self-Improvement", playing "Nalan Yuanshu".
In 1994, for some reason, he couldn't stay in the film industry anymore, so he put down his body and was invited to ATV to shoot "Shaolin Righteous Man Hong Xiguan" and "Jingwumen" in one go.
Because of Zhen Zidan's joining, the ratings of these two dramas were super high, and they once outperformed TVB, and ATV's banner at that time was: "Zhen Zidan has returned from the film industry, who will compete with the ratings!"
......
In contrast, the current Liu Dehua and Zhou Xingchi are classified as "kings", and they are not at the same level as Zhen Zidan--- but the top superstars in the film industry.
Not to mention anything else, as long as the two of them are willing to nod their heads here and agree to help ATV film, then ATV's ratings will definitely "explode" in the future--- and it will be a big hit!
But the question is still that sentence--- will they?
