Now the highest ratings of Hong Kong TV are TV dramas, especially martial arts TV dramas adapted from well-known novels, once broadcast, they often cause Hong Kong to become very depressed at night, and the ratings often reach 30 or even 40 points, although this is related to Hong Kong's small area and only two TV stations, but it can still be seen that martial arts dramas are very attractive among the majority of citizens.

In Hong Kong in 1985, the ratings were relatively good TV programs at 20 o'clock, and if they exceeded 30 o'clock, they were hit dramas, and if they reached 40 o'clock, then they would be classics, and of course, the TV programs that could reach 40 o'clock were all TV episodes except for the variety show "Happy Tonight".

Now in Hong Kong, because of the high ratings of TV dramas, both TV stations have concentrated 80% of their energy on producing TV dramas, and martial arts dramas are the most popular TV dramas, so TV stations will also focus on martial arts dramas.

As for the cartoons, they were broadcast on the English channels of the two major television stations, and the cartoons broadcast were all imported from overseas, and the ratings were average, as for the cartoons produced in Hong Kong, they have not been broadcast on Hong Kong TV until now.

Cartoons are not a popular TV show genre per se, and there has never been a precedent for success, so Xue Tianlan was only snubbed when it was marketed to two TV stations, and ATV finally took over the cartoon for other reasons.

In 1982, after Qiu Degen purchased 50% of the equity of Li for 100 million Hong Kong dollars and obtained the joint operation rights, Qiu Degen first changed Li to ATV, and then began to carry out large-scale reforms, such as the introduction of 2-in-1 Betacam camcorders in ATV's engineering department, becoming the first Hong Kong TV station to apply this advanced equipment.

At the same time, in order to cooperate with the development of the program, ATV imitated TVB to hold the first artist training class, and among the graduates that year were Huang Qiusheng, He Jiajin, Ye Yuping, Mak Cuixian, etc.

In April 1984, ATV launched the "Everybody Morning" program (later changed to "Asian Morning") based on rebroadcasting the highlights of the comprehensive program, and determined it to be an informative morning news program.

However, Qiu Degen still seems to be optimistic about the future of ATV, so he acquired the remaining shares in the hands of the Australian consortium again last year and took full control of ATV, but the next ATV is still facing the problem of wireless suppression.

In terms of TV series, in addition to the short story "Yue Nu Jian", which has no adaptation value, the adaptation rights of the most popular Jin Yong novels are all in the hands of wireless, and in terms of variety shows, "Happy Tonight" swept all the same type of programs, no one can stop it, and ATV's ratings must find another way to make a breakthrough.

So ATV took a fancy to the cartoon produced by the animation team under LL Films?

Of course not, the reason why ATV chose this "Pleasant Goat and Big Big Wolf" is not only because of the low cost of film purchase, but also because of the most important reason is to befriend Chen Lang.

Chen Lang betrayed Huaxing's self-formed LL record company, in everyone's opinion, the relationship between Chen Lang and wireless must be very tense, and there is even a saying that the reason why Chen Lang lost to Alan Tam in this year's Top Ten Golden Songs Awards Ceremony was because the organizer wireless made a hindrance, and a small number of people actually believed it.

As TV enters more and more Hong Kong households, TV has begun to become the most important way to be exposed, and there are only two TV stations in Hong Kong, so there is naturally only another option left in the case of a bad relationship with TVB.

And Chen Lang is a super idol with a lot of popularity in Hong Kong and even Taiwan, Southeast Asia and even South Korea and Japan, and he is a well-deserved king of popularity in Hong Kong.

Qiu Degen, who wants to increase ATV's ratings and is about to go crazy, and the big guys of ATV will naturally not refuse this dispensable cartoon, the ratings are low, it doesn't matter at all, if you can still get Chen Lang's friendship, it will definitely be an unexpected joy.

ATV's deep-seated intention was still analyzed by Chen Shufen to Chen Lang, originally Chen Lang and Xue Tianlan thought that ATV would accept this cartoon if it was cheap and a dead horse would be a live horse doctor, but they didn't expect that there would be these ways in it.

Chen Lang didn't think much about it after he knew, and he was still grateful to ATV in his heart, after all, this is the kindness of others, and this cartoon is Chen Lang's fist work to open the periphery of Hong Kong entertainment products.

Chen Lang thanked ATV for not discriminating against it because he was not optimistic about this cartoon, but vigorously promoted this cartoon, and after getting the cartoon, ATV broadcast the theme song of the cartoon in ATV's prime time, so that many ATV viewers learned about the upcoming cartoon.

There is also an unexpected joy that Li Lizhen, who sang the theme song, became popular before it was broadcast, and after everyone knew that it was the young and beautiful Li Lizhen in "Happy Ghost", Li Lizhen received a lot more passes than before, which made Li Lizhen very happy.

Therefore, before the broadcast of the cartoon tonight, Chen Lang's younger brothers and sisters knew the broadcast time and clamored to watch the cartoon, and after the broadcast, these children were obviously also attracted by the cartoon, no matter how the adults shouted, they didn't go to the table to eat, but they were happy to watch.

Tonight's ATV broadcast two episodes of "Pleasant Goat and Big Big Wolf" in a row, and the time of each episode is close to 15 minutes after the opening and ending songs, and when the two episodes are over, almost half an hour has passed, and the little ones are intently watching in this half an hour.

"It's over so soon, is there anything else?"

"No, it's just two episodes."

"It's so good, two episodes are too few."

"It's pretty good, I can only wait for tomorrow to see it again, I really hope now is tomorrow."

The little ones obviously like this cartoon, and now Hong Kong is really indifferent to cartoons, even if it is broadcast, it is placed on the English channel, and in order to save money, the quality of the cartoons introduced is average, but even this is a rare happy time for children.

Now I have encountered this production that is more in line with children's tastes, and it is simple and humorous, witty and interesting animation, and I naturally like it.

"I am the Pleasant Goat, the smartest."

"I'm a beautiful sheep, the most beautiful."

"I am a boiling sheep, the strongest."

"I'm a gray wolf, and I've eaten your flock."

"The gray wolf was defeated by us, hahaha......"

The children seem to really like the cartoon and have already started role-playing.

"Kids, if you want to read it in one sitting, it's not impossible, I have a solution." Father Chen saw that the little ones who were eating at the table were still chattering non-stop, and spoke.

"Really?"

"What's the solution?"

"Tell us quickly."

……

"Actually, this cartoon was produced by your brother Chen Lang's company, and he has all the cartoons there." Father Chen said with a smile.

As soon as the words fell, all the little guys surrounded Chen Lang.

"Brother Chen Lang, I want to see it."

"I'll see it too."

"Brother Chen Lang gave me cartoons, give it to me."

……

Chen Lang couldn't help but be noisy, so he had to say, "Okay, okay, you guys stop first and listen to me." ”

Seeing that the children were no longer making trouble, Chen Lang had no choice but to say, "This cartoon is indeed produced by my company, and it just so happens that there is a videotape in the gift I brought today, and tomorrow I will have people send all the cartoons, and by the way, I am giving you some other gifts." ”

"Great, Brother Chen Lang, you are the best."

"There's cartoons to watch."

"Great, hahaha......"

……

When the children are happy, ATV's building is still brightly lit, working in the TV station, even if it is the Chinese New Year, someone has to be on duty, Qiu Degen has just won the entire equity of ATV, and now he is ready to make a big move again, it is said that winning the right to host Miss Asia is one of them.

As for the premiere of the cartoon "Pleasant Goat and Big Big Wolf" accepted in order to win over Chen Lang, it has not been taken seriously, and the favor has been sold to Chen Lang, now it depends on his ratings, if it can be maintained at more than five percent, it will continue to be broadcast, and if it is lower than this number, it will be cut, anyway, there was an agreement at the beginning.

Now ATV can get 20% of the ratings, even if it is the top rating, and the average TV show is just over 10%.

ATV has no hope for cartoons, because there is indeed no hope of a hit in Hong Kong cartoons now, but because Chen Lang is involved, ATV still arranged a special person to count the ratings, of course, it may also be to collect evidence in order to cut this cartoon, so as to give Chen Lang an explanation.

At seven o'clock, "Pleasant Goat and Big Big Wolf" officially began to be broadcast, and the staff were still complaining, after all, today is the first day of the Lunar New Year, and they have to work overtime here and can't reunite with their families, so they are naturally full of resentment.

"It's really unlucky, I have to work overtime on the first day of the Lunar New Year, if it weren't for this salary, Lao Tzu would have quit a long time ago."

"Say less, since you have the money, you have to work, otherwise you will resign."

"I'm just complaining."

"Okay, okay, let's be honest about the statistics, I want it by name."

"This is a cartoon, is there still a need for statistics? The company also advertised this cartoon in prime time, I really don't know what these leaders think, it's pure nonsense and wasted effort. ”

"Yes and what? It's not that people have the final say, who makes the family our leader. ”

……

While the two were complaining, the cartoon had already begun to air for a few minutes, and then the two began to count the statistics, only to call the manager of the purchasing department at this time.

Although there is no hope for this animation, in order to give Chen Lang a reason to cut it, the evidence must be made beautiful, so the manager of the film purchase department will have this call.

"Have the ratings come out when the cartoon first started?"

"Economic ...... Manger...... We...... We're still counting. ”

"Didn't you say that you should be the first to count? It's been a long time now, and you haven't counted it yet, so you can't be lazy, right? ”

"No, no, it's okay right away, please wait."

"Well, don't hang up the phone, I'll wait here."

When the two of them heard this, they immediately began to count in a hurry, but fortunately, both of them were veterans and made rapid progress.

After waiting for three minutes, the two counted the ratings at the start of the broadcast, but the two of them looked incredulous, "Is it a miscalculation?" ”

"It seems to be, to stop ...... Do the math again. ”

"Okay."

"Why haven't you counted it yet?"

"Immediately, the statistics have been calculated, but the results seem to be wrong, and we are accounting again."

"The result was wrong? Then do the math again, hurry. ”

"Okay, wait a minute."

After another three minutes, the two looked at each other, "It seems that there is no mistake, the result is the same as last time." ”

"Yes, that's right."

After the two glanced at each other, they said, "Manager, forget it." ”

"Well, what's the rating?"

"The ratings at the start of the broadcast were ...... It's twelve. ”

"Well, less is less, but ...... No, what do you say the ratings are? ”

"Ten...... Twelve. ”

"How is that possible?!"
