Recently, Hong Kong Phoenix TV adapted Jin Yong's martial arts "The Legend of the Condor Heroes" for the first time as a TV series, in which the honest Guo Jing and the smart and clever Huang Rong, who had accompanied many people, suddenly appeared in the TV screen, as if bringing us into the world of martial arts. β€”Oriental Daily News

"Yesterday I watched the premiere of Phoenix Channel's "The Legend of the Condor Heroes", and I am very satisfied with their filming, and I am also very happy that my work can be made into a TV series.

When Phoenix TV first came to me, they specially brought Miss Michelle, the actor who played Huang Rong, over, and I have to say that when I first met her, she was innocent, playful, and intelligent, as if my pretty Huang Rong came out.

And Guo Jing's actor Liu Songren is also a very good actor, and the Guo Jing he plays can be described as a three-point wood, but he is honest but has a man's atmosphere. - "Ming Pao Jin Yong"

With the broadcast of "The Legend of the Condor Heroes", Phoenix TV adapted martial arts into a TV series for the first time, and for a while, the overwhelming number of martial arts fans in Hong Kong, whether they are Gu fans, Liang fans, or Huo fans, almost all of them are watching this martial arts series.

"Shooting the Condor" can be said to be the masterpiece of Jin Yong, although there are many historical mistakes and timeline problems, but the content of the story and the main characters in it have deeply attracted I don't know how many generations of martial arts fans.

Whether it is Guo Jing and Huang Rong, who are absolute heroes and heroines, or the world's five absolute East Evil, West Poison, Southern Emperor, Northern Beggar, Zhongshentong, or Quanzhen Seven Sons, Jiangnan Seven Monsters and others, it can almost be said that anyone who is a martial arts lover is definitely familiar.

So when this was adapted into a TV series, the ratings and sensation it brought can be imagined.

……

Phoenix TV.

On the eighth day of the Lunar New Year, as soon as the New Year passed, Huo Yaowen and Luo Wenhui made an appointment to come over.

first held a brief meeting after the New Year, and Huo Yaowen began to ask about the ratings of "Shooting the Condor" in the past few days.

He Zuozhi picked up the investigation report the day before yesterday and said: "At present, the ratings are not known, and we have not taken back the TV card, but we also sent people out to investigate, and randomly checked 300 people, about forty percent of the citizens will watch our TV series every day, but the number of people who watch it in the morning and afternoon is very small, only less than one percent." ”

Hearing that there were so few people watching the educational programs in the morning and afternoon, Huo Yaowen couldn't help frowning, and opened his mouth to ask: "The complete set of idioms, 100,000 whys, and when will the approaching science program be produced?"

He Zuozhi said: "Approaching science, we are already looking for someone to shoot, 100,000 why the program is still in the process of collecting information, as for the idiom encyclopedia, we have changed the studio, and we are still negotiating with various colleges, but the University of Hong Kong has agreed to send students from the Chinese Department to participate in the competition." ”

"Get these three programs done as soon as possible, the programs of the educational TV station are too old-fashioned, just the host is there to give a lecture on the blackboard, the students are probably not happy, let alone the adults, who wants to watch it?"

Huo Yaowen has been at home for the New Year these days, in addition to accompanying his family, he watches several programs on his own TV station every day, from morning to night, and one episode has not fallen, but to be honest, even he, the boss, can't watch it, let alone those viewers who choose freely.

He Zuozhi said with a bitter face: "Chairman, I know this, but now the TV station is short of manpower, and it is stepping up the filming of "Shooting the Condor", and it is a little too busy to open three programs at the same time. ”

"Then recruit people!" Huo Yaowen thought for a while and said, "Aren't TVB and Li's TV stations holding any actor training courses? ”

"We were already recruiting people for the actor training class last year, and Huang Rong's actor Mi Xue is the actress who graduated from our training class. "He Zuozhi has been engaged in actor training classes for a long time.

Hearing this, Huo Yaowen glanced at He Zuozhi more, although he was the general manager of the collapse of Jiayi TV in his last life, he could not escape the blame, but during his tenure, he still filmed many classic TV series and programs, but he was finally liquidated by that hard rule.

Thinking of this, he said: "That's fine, but the training class is better not to limit the actors, you can train more behind-the-scenes staff, such as directors, lighting, photography, etc." If you don't have enough manpower at the moment, you can go to Universal Film Company and seconded some people to come over. ”

"You don't need to say this, chairman, I have borrowed Liu Songren. ”

He Zuozhi grinned, although the TV station recruited many actors, there was never a suitable one to play Guo Jing, so he specially went to Huanyu TV to invite Liu Songren, who had just returned to Hong Kong not long ago.

Originally, Huang Rong wanted Qingxia to play it, but Qingxia was in a hurry to return to Taiwan for the New Year, so she replaced Mi Xue, who had just graduated from the training class.

Kowloon Wet Market.

An aunt who sells pork looked at the aunt who was selling vegetables at a stall next to her and said, "Ah Xiu Mom, how much did you sell today?"

"It's not much, it's just a few dozen. Ah Xiu's mother smiled and said that it was dozens, in fact, it had been sold for a small hundred yuan today, and there were a lot of people who bought vegetables during the Chinese New Year.

"That's not bad, I can't do it, and I'll sell it for a few hundred dollars today. The aunt who sells pork seems to be sighing, but she is actually triumphant.

Last year, prices rose, and the price of pork was no exception, but no matter what, people will still choose to eat pork.

"Auntie, how did you sell this cabbage?"

When Aunt Xiu heard Aunt Pork's words, she secretly glanced at her, and she was very dissatisfied, and someone happened to come to buy vegetables, so she was ready not to bother her.

At this time, Aunt Pork glanced at the alarm clock next to her, slapped her head and shouted: "Oh, it's almost time, hurry up and go home to see Huang Rong." ”

"Huang Rong!" When Ah Xiu's mother heard this, she immediately said to the bargaining customer: "It's not for sale, it's not for sale." ”

After speaking, she immediately put away the stall and ran in the direction of home with a flat shoulder.

And the same is true of the pork aunt, who directly threw all the pork on the board into the freezer behind her, pulled the iron gate, and ran towards home in a slippery manner.

The grocery buyer looked dazed, wondering why the two of them got off work so early, and when he turned around and was about to go to another house, he was surprised to find that there were only three or two small stall vendors left in the originally lively vegetable market.

"Uncle, why is it that the vegetable market still has a time to get off work?" the customer asked as he walked up to a vegetable seller who had not left.

Abel shook his head and said, "There are no rules, but there is basically no one at seven o'clock in the evening." ”

"Then why is everyone gone?"

"Oh, they're going home to watch a TV show, and if I hadn't had some food that hadn't been sold, I'd have gone home too. ”

With the Phoenix Channel's two episodes of "Shooting the Condor" every day, more and more viewers are watching.

Especially when the plot comes to Guo Jing to learn from Hong Qigong to descend the dragon and eighteen palms, once it is 6 o'clock in the afternoon in the whole of Hong Kong, whether it is a small businessman or a hawker, or some office workers, almost all of them are at home or at the neighbor's house to watch "Condor Shooting".

According to the original history, "Shooting the Condor" should be filmed by Jiayi TV next year, and once broadcast, the ratings quickly surpassed that of TVB and Li's TV station, becoming the runner-up in the annual ratings.

And now "Shooting the Condor", which was launched a year early, has more or less changed in terms of actors and plot, but compared with the Jiayi TV station "Shooting the Condor" in another time and space, it is more than that, and it can be described as an empty alley for a while.
