The scene of the press conference---
Wu Siyuan and the others never thought that Liu Dehua and Zhou Xingchi would suddenly do such a thing to them.
even said that they would also participate in the play "I Have a Date with a Zombie" and make a cameo in it.
What is their identity?
The dignified bigwigs in the Hong Kong entertainment industry are all figures with status and status, how can they deign to act on TV?
Of course, Xiang Huaqiang has another plan for this, after all, he has been an actor and starred in "Dragon Five" in "God of Gamblers", and the other three have no such "interest", and they feel that filming is too low-level and too unstylish.
But now that Liu Dehua and Zhou Xingchi dropped the bomb, hundreds of people at the scene stared at them, waiting for them to make a statement.
How?
Tell everyone that Liu Dehua and Zhou Xingchi are talking nonsense, and the four of them didn't plan to do so at all.
But in this way, Liu Dehua and Zhou Xingchi are miserable, and they can't get out of the relationship, they will be considered infighting, and it will be detrimental to ATV's future.
Just when Wu Siyuan's faces were cloudy, Liu Dehua, who was standing on the podium, said again: "Of course, this news may be a bit surprising to all the reporters here, after all, Chairman Wu and the four are all bigwigs with status and status in the Hong Kong entertainment industry, but they said that for the future and development of ATV, even if they really dedicate themselves to filming, they will not hesitate!
Liu Dehua looked at the four dragon heads with a smile.
Wu Siyuan et al.: "......"
Roll your eyes, this is a good singing.
I couldn't help but respond, and hurriedly squeezed out a smile and said: "Yes, yes, we think the same way, for ATV failed to do anything before, of course we have to sacrifice ourselves now!"
When the four spoke, many media reporters who received a reply immediately applauded, expressing their support and praise for the four.
Liu Dehua waited until the applause stopped, and then said loudly: "Ah Xing and I were moved by their fearless dedication, and for this reason, we also strengthened our confidence to make a cameo appearance in this play!"
Zhou Xingchi added next to him: "As the saying goes, everyone gathers firewood and the flame is high! With our unity, I believe that the future of ATV will be better!"
Bang Bang Bang!
The scene once again burst into warm applause.
Thunderous applause.
……
As soon as the press conference held by the two kings of Lau Dehua and Zhou Xingchi was released, it immediately caused a whirlwind throughout Hong Kong.
The charm of the two kings is extraordinary, and the entire Hong Kong entertainment media has reported the matter wildly.
For a while, ATV's new drama "I Have a Date with a Zombie" directly dominated the "topic list" of Hong Kong TV for several weeks, and both major radio stations and newspapers and magazines were talking about it, and it even beat the originally highly topical TVB "Zombie Dao Chief" to the ground.
With the blessing of such a super public opinion, this drama has become popular before it is broadcast, and forty or fifty companies have come to ATV to negotiate the "advertising business" of this drama, and in just three days, an advertising contract with an amount of up to 50 million yuan has been signed.
In this regard, the four leading companies headed by Wu Siyuan can really be described as happy and sad.
I am happy that ATV is completely on the right track, and I am sad that these credits are all Song Zhichao's, and the four of them have to make guest appearances.
But no matter what, now the overall situation has been decided, and ATV's "I Have a Date with a Zombie" has entered the preparation stage, starring "Yin Tianzhao" from ATV's training class and "Wan Qiwen" from ATV's training class.
Liu Dehua made a cameo appearance in the play, playing the police boss of the male protagonist "Guo Tianyou". In the play, he gave Guo Tianyou a "super task", which is to protect a superstar in Hong Kong.
Zhou Xingchi also made a cameo appearance in the play, playing the protected superstar, whose name is "Zhou Xingxing" in the play, which can be described as his true colors.
As for the big guy Wu Siyuan, Xiang Huasheng, Xiang Huaqiang and Zou Wenhuai also made cameos in the play--- but the hard thing is that their cameo roles are not very tall, and three of the four are villains.
……
A week later, the filming and broadcasting of ATV's big production "I Have a Date with a Zombie" finally began its first round of broadcasts under the call of 7 million Hong Kong citizens.
In order to cope with the premiere of ATV's blockbuster, Hong Kong TVB TV station also tried its best to advertise its own TV station's "Zombie Taoist", not only invited Lin Zhengying, the male pig's foot of this play, to take his apprentices, wearing Taoist robes and holding a peachwood sword, to stand on the decorated float, starting from the bus terminal on Broadcasting Road, to carry out a float parade with the slogan "Lin Zhengying slashes demons and eliminates demons, and the ratings go to the next level";
At the same time, the "Zombie Road Chief" prize quiz was also opened in the variety channel "Happy Tonight", the first prize was a Treasure Island Wolf motorcycle, the second prize was a Siemens washing machine, and the third prize was a brand-name bicycle.
In order to win the largest number of grandmother viewers in Hong Kong, TVB has even opened the ""Zombie Taoist" Nurse Hotline", as long as you call in when watching the TV series and tell your feelings and opinions about the drama, you will get free gifts such as laundry detergent, dish soap, and paper towels.
It can be said that this time TVB has used unprecedented power to fight against ATV's new drama.
And this also reflects the sharpness of Song Zhichao's hype of "star effect" from the side--- just letting Liu Dehua and Zhou Xingchi make cameos in the drama made the entire TVB scramble.
……
In the end, the ratings of the premiere of ATV's "I Have a Date with a Zombie" were released, and the highest ratings that night were as high as 21 o'clock--- which means that the premiere broke 20 o'clock.
In Hong Kong, ratings points are very interesting, basically one point means that there are 65,000 people watching your show.
Therefore, ATV's 21 o'clock is equivalent to about 1.36 million people watching the drama "I Have a Date with a Zombie".
At the same time, with the help of various promotional activities, TVB made the ratings of "Zombie Taoist" as high as 25 points, which is four points higher than ATV, which is equivalent to 1.62 million people watching this drama, 260,000 more than ATV, and once again took the lead.
When this result came out, TVB immediately cheered and breathed a sigh of relief, which can be regarded as retaining the title of the king of ratings.
ATV was also very happy.
You must know that in the past, ATV's loss to TVB was at least seven or eight points, but now it is only four points, in a sense, it has broken the record.
However, many senior Hong Kong film critics carefully compared, and immediately saw the high and low of the two.
TVB relied on various promotional activities to increase the ratings to 25 points, but ATV only relied on hyping Liu Dehua and Zhou Xingchi to make cameos, and the first premiere broke 20 points.
In addition, judging from the storylines of the two dramas, TVB's "Zombie Taoist" inevitably has a somewhat clichéd story, which is almost the same as the previous Hong Kong zombie movies, at least the audience can probably guess the following plot after watching the front, and there is no sense of expectation.
On the contrary, ATV's "I Have a Date with a Zombie" is very unconventional in terms of the title of this drama and the content and character design, especially the zombie element is put into the metropolis of Hong Kong to repackage and interpret, and the sense of substitution is very strong. In terms of story plot, the story direction of this drama is also very peculiar, at least there are no routines and bridges, which makes the audience full of curiosity and looks forward to the broadcast of the next episode.
In this way, the "zombie PK" of the two TV stations will slowly narrow the gap with the broadcast time of the two dramas, and finally ATV will catch up with TVB, and even eventually "surpass" TVB.
It can be said that many Hong Kong film critics are fundamentally still very optimistic about ATV's new drama, thinking that it is creative, gimmicky enough, and most importantly, it has a strong attraction.
However, can ATV's "I Have a Date with a Zombie" really surpass TVB?
In this regard, many TV viewers who are optimistic about TVB are full of questions.
