Hong Kong people are actually very nostalgic.

Especially in the glorious 80s, there were many popular classic movies. Among them, zombie films are the most attention-grabbing, and under the leadership of Lin Zhengying and others, there is a rare "zombie tide".

According to incomplete statistics, in the three years from 1985 to 1988, more than 1,000 zombie-themed movies were filmed and produced in Hong Kong, which is rare in the global film industry.

Nowadays, Hong Kong films are dominated by Jet Li's "Once Upon a Time" and "Undefeated in the East", people are keen on flying around Tsui Hark-style martial arts films, zombie films have long been in decline, and occasionally some small Taiwanese companies are filmed, mixed with S love to attract audiences.

In short, the "zombie tide" that originally swept Hong Kong has long since receded, leaving people with only memories, but TVB's current broadcast of "Zombie Taoist" has made Hong Kong audiences remember this memory again.

……

Early morning, in Wan Chai, Hong Kong, in an old-fashioned teahouse---

"Did you watch last night's "Zombie Taoist"? Lin Zhengying is so sharp, just like the movie he acted, I like him so much!" said a man eating barbecued pork buns.

Opposite him, a man eating shrimp dumplings said: "The biggest seller in this drama is Uncle Jiu, but in this play, he calls Mao Xiaofang --- to tell the truth, it's better to call Uncle Jiu!"

The man with barbecued pork buns: "I heard that the ratings of this drama have broken 20, and it will soon be 25 ......"

"Yes! Poor ATV, I thought that I could show my strength after being acquired, but I didn't expect it to be a return to the light, and this time TVB is going to step on their heads again. The shrimp dumpling man said.

At this time, a man eating lotus paste buns next to him said: "That's not necessarily--- I heard that this time ATV was saved by Song Zhichao with billions of dollars, and ATV also has a big move and is ready to film---"

"Filming? There are only a few people who come and go from ATV, it's not Chen Tingwei, it's Jiang Hua, Lu Songxian, how can it be compared with TVB--- TVB is a famous star Shaolin Temple!" said the barbecued pork bun man disdainfully.

"Yes, ATV filming is also looking for death--- now the drama "Zombie Road Chief" is in the limelight, no matter how ATV tosses, it is destined to hit the street!" The shrimp dumpling man also sneered.

The others around laughed too.

"Hit the streets!"

"ATV Flutter Street!"

"Song Zhichao can't save ATV!"

"Song Zhichao is going to tie up ATV and hit the street together this time!"

……

Newsstand, Mong Kok, Hong Kong---

"Boss, here's a newspaper!" a decadent man squeezing flip-flops and munching bread handed the newspaper owner five dimes, then took an entertainment newspaper.

This newspaper is Hong Kong's most famous "Entertainment New World", and most of the content is Hong Kong's recent celebrity gossip, as well as film and television news.

On the front page of this newspaper, it was a wonderful still from "Zombie Taoist" starring Lin Zhengying.

"I'll pick, TVB is playing quite big this time, even Lin Zhengying, an old ghost, has been invited to shoot TV!" The flip-flop man nibbled on bread while reading the newspaper.

The newsstand owner interjected: "Now that movies are in a recession, it is also a trend for big stars to shoot TV series." ”

"If it's really the trend of the times, why don't you see 'Double Monday' to make a TV series?" The flip-flops said disdainfully, "So the grade of filming TV is still too low, and only those stars who are not popular or outdated are willing to do it!" After speaking, the flip-flops also used breadcrumb-stained fingers to pestle Lin Zhengying on the newspaper, "For example, he ---!"

Hearing this, the newsstand owner shook his head silently, took out a plum blossom driver from the toolbox, and began to fiddle with his broken black and white TV--- in his opinion, there is actually no difference between TV and movies, both are for entertaining the audience, the only difference is that one needs to pay for tickets, and the other needs to earn ratings.

At the end of the day, if TV is more exciting than movies, who is going to buy tickets to watch movies?

Of course, if "Double Monday" can really put down his body and shoot TV, it is estimated that the whole of Hong Kong will explode.

"So, TVB has won this time! It's just that poor ATV has just escaped a catastrophe, and now it is going to be trampled under TVB's feet again. The flip-flop man opened his mouth wide and struggled to shove the last piece of bread into his mouth--- spilling crumbs.

"Even if Song Zhichao has great ability, it will be difficult to return to the sky, unless he can let his star master and Andy make a TV series for him!" the flip-flops muttered, his tone full of contempt and ridicule.

In his opinion, letting Zhou Xingchi and Liu Dehua go to the sea to shoot a TV series is a dream!

Who is Liu Dehua, the current "Four Heavenly Kings", before he became famous, he was the wireless five tiger generals who filmed "Falcon" and "The Condor Heroes", but now filming is to pay attention to the schedule--- it is said that Liu Dehua's schedule this year has already been full, one or Chinese New Year's Eve dramas, how can there be time to go to ATV to shoot TV series, isn't that funny!

Besides, the star Zhou Xingchi, the TV series filmed are even less pitiful, but the protagonist is a boutique, "He is from the rivers and lakes", and "Heroes of the World", relying on nonsense, it is popular in Hong Kong, and now the salary is at least 5 million, who can afford such a big name?

If you want to let such two superstars put down the shelves and shoot a TV series together, the dream of 7 million people in Hong Kong may not come true--- let alone Song Zhichao.

The newsstand owner fiddled with the small TV series in his hand with a plum blossom driver, noncommittal.

At this time, the TV was fiddled with by him, and after a burst of snowflakes, he began to broadcast the news---

Suddenly, as if he had seen something, the newsstand owner pointed to the TV and said in astonishment: "What does it mean that it is impossible?

When the flip-flop man heard this, he turned his head to look at the TV, and then, he opened his mouth wide, and the half-chewed bread had not yet been swallowed--- he was also stunned.

……

Hong Kong ATV, News Channel---

Although ATV TV is not as powerful as TVB in terms of TV drama ratings, there are many variety shows and news programs that are very sharp.

For example, Wan Qiwen, Yang Gongru, and Gong Xuehua's "Miss Asia" was discovered; and Zhan Guorong and Zhong Weiqiang's "Asian Amateur Singer Audition" was launched; in January 1991, ATV took the lead in creating "Morning News", providing instant news to the audience in the early morning, and other TV stations followed suit.

At this moment, ATV's "Morning News" is broadcasting---

The hostess had a serious expression and reported in a straight voice: "According to the latest news from ATV, the famous Hong Kong movie stars Mr. Zhou Xingchi and Mr. Lau Dehua are about to join ATV's new drama "I Have a Date with a Zombie", so stay tuned!"

This news is just such a short sentence, but it immediately seems to have dropped an atomic bomb on the whole of Hong Kong, causing an uproar.

……

"Hey, little guy, have you heard that Andy and Xing Ye are going to ATV to film!" said a pair of ordinary citizens after meeting.

"Won't it?"

"What do you mean no, it's all reported on ATV news, it's true!"

"Wow, that's a good show!"

"Yes, I love Andy and Xing Ye to death, I didn't expect to see their TV series this time!"

"I'm looking forward to it!"

"Me too!"

……

"Xing Ye and Andy are going to ATV to film, it's impossible!" a pair of Hong Kong starlets discussed together.

"What's impossible, don't forget that the big boss behind the two of them is Song Zhichao--- what did Song Zhichao ask them to do, do they dare to resist?"

"Then Song Zhichao is too sharp! He has fulfilled the wishes of the people of Hong Kong. ”

"Yes, the people of Hong Kong are looking forward to seeing Xing Ye and Andy on TV again, but I didn't expect their dreams to come true!"

"Then they are filming a TV series, do we eighteenth-tier stars still have to insist?"

"What do you say? If a TV station comes to us in the future, we can also put down our bodies and film--- after all, making money to support our family is the first priority!"

"You're right, hehe!"

……

Who would have thought that Lau Dehua and Chow Xingchi would put down their posture and join the Hong Kong TV industry from the film industry, and the impact would be so significant.

The TV series, which was originally despised by many people, has become a new goal and a new direction for many eighteenth-tier stars to support their families for a while.

In fact, the Hong Kong entertainment industry itself is so big, and the cake of the film market is just a little bit, with the double weekly success and the four heavenly kings, there are simply no more resources left for those eighteenth-tier stars who have not been able to squeeze into the front line of the film industry and need to support their families.

They are very distressed and want to make money to support their families, but they can't let go of their figures, but now it's different, Andy and Xing Ye's "going to the sea" directly drove his enthusiasm.

In the future, Hong Kong's TV industry will attract a collective explosion of stars--- whoever says that TV will decline, as long as there is acting skills, you can mix anywhere!

At the same time, those outstanding actors who have very good acting skills, but have to put down their bodies to film on TV stations because of lack of film resources, will work together to create a "new era of TV" in Hong Kong!
