Chapter 167: Small Talk at Home

TVB, Shao Yifu and Fang Yihua discussed to no avail, and gathered their subordinates to discuss how to deal with Star TV's "Millionaire".

Someone wanted to suggest that Shao Yifu learn from Star TV and also hold a similar program to play against "Millionaire", but thinking of Shao Yifu's consistent character of picking the door, he immediately dispelled the idea in his heart.

Discussions came and went, and in the end, no good methods were discussed. Shao Yifu could only helplessly let everyone keep an eye on the starry sky TV, wait and see how the ratings of "Millionaire" were, and then see you again.

A week later, after the promotion of various media such as TV and newspapers, the program "Millionaire" was already known to everyone in Xiangjiang. A total of 500,000 people signed up for the show by phone and on TV stations, which is equivalent to one in every 10 people in Xiangjiang.

In the end, after many deletions, the ten contestants of the first episode of the program were selected. There are 10 people who are still in middle school, high-achieving students with doctorates, knowledgeable university professors, ordinary housewives, and 9-to-5 workers......

These people are all typical characters from all walks of life specially selected by Wu Ming in order to increase the topicality of the show.

Of course, because these people are mixed, there are many situations when recording the show, and there are even cases where they faint on the spot because of a high bonus.

……

Monday, July 20, the day "Millionaire" officially launched.

Half past eight in the evening.

Because DreamWorks' shooting method has changed, abandoning the previous method of filming and broadcasting, to the way of filming first and then broadcasting. So I have enough time to polish the plot of the TV series, and the quality has improved a lot compared to before.

At this time, Star TV broadcast the historical martial arts drama "Martial Arts Emperor Flower" in the late Ming Dynasty, which broadcasts three episodes a day, and this TV series is also a boutique among many dramas on Star TV. In addition, wireless is still a way to broadcast while shooting, each TV series can only broadcast one episode per day, and it is more troublesome to chase dramas, which is not as convenient as Star TV.

So this time, Star TV has relied on "Martial Arts Emperor Flower" to fight and retreat. Even Shao Yifu and Fang Yihua are now considering whether to learn from Star TV and finish filming the TV series before broadcasting.

At this time, the TV screen was playing the scene of the Jurchens burning, killing and looting after entering the Shanhai Pass.

Sakai Fako frowned, and said in a depressed mood: "Ah Ming, these Jurchens are so bad! ”

Wu Ming touched Sakai's head and said, "If you do too much injustice, you will kill yourself, and they will not end well." ”

In his previous life, Wu Ming would watch some Qing Dynasty TV series when he was ignorant when he was a child, and when he was sensible and knew history, he didn't like those TV series touting the Qing Dynasty very much. Especially characters such as Dolgon and Qianlong were whitewashed by various Qing court dramas, and Wu Ming was even more dissatisfied.

In this life, after having the ability, Wu Ming naturally has to do his part. After the establishment of DreamWorks, Wu Ming ordered Wu Ming to not be allowed to shoot Qing court dramas that whitewashed the characters of the Qing Dynasty, and to shoot dramas that were in line with history. TV series like those of the so-and-so dynasty must not appear on the screen of Star TV.

"Ah Ming, your TV series broadcast by Star TV is getting better and better, much better than the previous Li. In particular, the same TV series is broadcast every day, unlike in the past, when three different TV series were broadcast every day. Mother Li Feng interjected.

Wu Ming smiled proudly: "That's natural, it's been reformed for so long, if there is no improvement, how can it be worthy of the amount of money I have invested." ”

"It seems that it won't be long before Ah Ming's Star TV will be able to surpass wireless!" Dad Wu Bingan sighed.

Wu Ming restrained his smile when he heard this, frowned slightly, and said, "It shouldn't be possible to tell the winner in a short period of time." If there is no trump card, with the increasingly powerful strength of DreamWorks now, it will naturally not be long before it can surpass wireless. But with that trump card, within a few years, Star TV can only be on par with wireless in terms of TV series. ”

Wu Bing'an was a little interested when he heard Wu Ming say this, and said curiously: "What other trump card does wireless have? ”

Wu Ming stroked his forehead, looking like he had a headache.

"It's not a Jin Yong martial arts drama yet!"

"Jin Yong martial arts drama!"

Wu Bing thought for a while, nodded in agreement: "That's right, a few years ago, Jiayi also flourished for a while with Jinyong martial arts dramas! If you play this card wirelessly, if you want to deal with it on Star TV, it's really troublesome." ”

"So I'm now ready to hit wireless from the variety show side. Wu Ming said with a smile, "I am confident that even if I play the trump card of Jinyong martial arts drama wirelessly, I can remain undefeated in TV dramas and open up to them."

is on par with them in terms of variety shows, and the rest of the news is the strength of our Star TV, and when the time comes, our Star TV will have the advantage. And the quality of the TV series produced by DreamWorks has been improving. In two or three years, even if the Jin Yong martial arts drama is broadcast wirelessly, we can defeat it head-on. ”

Although Wireless holds the trump card of Jin Yong's martial arts drama, Wu Ming has asked DreamWorks to increase the filming funds of TV dramas and improve the quality of TV dramas.

After a while, Wu Ming also planned to build a small film and television base in Xiangjiang to shoot some modern films and modern films of the Republic of China. Establish a large-scale film and television base in the mainland, specializing in the filming of costume dramas, historical dramas, and war films.

At that time, the quality of the TV series will come up, even if there is a Jin Yong martial arts drama on TVB, but if the production is not well-made, it will not be as good as Star TV.

"Then I wish you an early victory over wireless!" Wu Bing'an said with a smile.

"By the way, Dad, how are the Transformers toys selling?" Wu Ming asked.

Just a month ago, the "Transformers" cartoon was broadcast on Star TV, and after the broadcast, it immediately set off a Transformers craze, and countless children are Optimus Prime long and Megatron short every day. is similar to the hot situation of the "Transformers" cartoon broadcast in the mainland in the previous life.

Hearing his son talk about Transformers toys, Wu Bingan immediately became excited.

"The sales situation is very good," Wu Bing'an said with high spirits, "In Xiangjiang, the profits of Transformers have exceeded the profits of mini four-wheel drives, and they are about to compete with Rubik's cubes, yo-yos, and roller skating." ”

"That's good!"

Wu Ming nodded and said in a deep voice: "Since this is the case, then I will ask Li Mingfeng to take "Transformers" to the island country tomorrow to broadcast it, and then let the Sunrise Club help promote it to the United States." ”

Tomorrow we will resume normal updates and make up for what we owe a few days ago.
