The first Academy Awards, although not as much as it was in the 90s. However, because this is the first time in Hong Kong's history that it has its own film awards, it has been hotly discussed by media people.

And "Film Fortnightly" has obviously benefited from being the organizer of Hong Kong's most authoritative film awards, and has attracted the attention of many film lovers.

On April 19, 82, before the Academy Awards ceremony, the magazine sold only one or two thousand copies. However, after the ceremony was broadcast live on ATV, Film Fortnight began to enjoy the reputation of the most authoritative film criticism magazine in Hong Kong, and quickly attracted many film lovers to order it.

In the latest issue, "Film Fortnightly" has sold more than 50,000 copies!

Of course, the popularity of "Film Fortnightly" has naturally made many businesses have confidence in the advertising influence of ATV, which has stimulated the number and price of ATV's TV advertising orders!

Originally, in April, ATV's advertising orders were only 20 million, plus about 500,000 cable TV subscribers paid more than 20 million yuan a month in viewing fees. Therefore, ATV's monthly operating income is more than 40 million yuan.

The operating cost of Asia Television is also roughly more than 40 million per month, barely breaking even in operation.

However, ATV's debt is more than HK$600 million, so it pays more than 10 million in debt interest every month. This is the main factor dragging down ATV's financial losses.

Since May, ATV's advertising orders have increased by 15% compared to April with 625 orders, while advertising revenue has reached HK$3,200, a surge of 40% compared to April!

Due to the increase of advertising orders by 10 million, ATV can optimistically announce in advance that it will achieve a turnaround in a single month in May!

What's more, the ratings brought by "Super Girl" have further consolidated the position of Asia Television and TVB.

Huang Xizhao, the general manager of ATV, couldn't help but say with emotion: "To be a media, you still have to have vision and wisdom!" People like Mr. Zhang can be sensitive to the needs and thoughts of the audience, so that they can launch programs that the audience likes according to their surnames. This is the king of media! ”

Production director Mai Dangxiong said with a smile: "When will the boss hand over the TV series copyright of "The Legend of Double Dragons of the Tang Dynasty" to ATV, it will be the king!" ”

"It's impossible for the time being!" Huang Xizhao said with a smile, "According to the laws of the market, popular martial arts are all made first and then filmed. The main potential of the film version has not been tapped, and it will continue to tap the final commercial value in the form of adapting the TV series. After all, from a revenue perspective, movies are more profitable than TV series! ”

Mai Dangxiong is really a fierce general in the Hong Kong TV industry, and he started filming "Ten Strange Cases" in 74 years and achieved good results. After that, he quickly filmed "Big Husband", "Jaws", and "Crocodile Tears", all of which are infinitely beautiful. And "Silkworm Transformation" and "Six Tribulations of Floating Life" filmed in 79 and 80 years have become classics of Li's TV era.

Especially in "Silkworm Transformation", we have seen some prototypes of the new wave of martial arts.

Later, the new wave martial arts movies shot by Tsui Hark, Cheng Xiaodong, Xu Anhua and others also borrowed a lot of ideas from "Silkworm Transformation".

In the original history, due to Li's TV turmoil, after Huang Xizhao and others were removed from power, Mai Dangxiong was angry, left Li's, and devoted himself to the film industry, which also achieved good results.

However, Huang Xizhao is still the general manager of Asia Television, and Mai Dangxiong and others are naturally the main cadres of Asia Television.

Compared with his achievements in the film industry, Mai Dangxiong is obviously better at the TV drama industry, and his reputation is also better.

"If "The Legend of Double Dragons of the Tang Dynasty" is filmed, most of them will be able to completely trample TVB under their feet!" Mai Dangxiong could only sigh.

"The film version of "Datang" cost more than 40 million yuan to produce the most extravagant special effects blockbuster in Asia. The audience was preconceived and agreed with the battle of the movie version of "Datang". If there is no cost of 100 million yuan for filming TV series, it is estimated that it will be difficult for the audience to be satisfied! Huang Xizhao said, "However, Mr. Jin has already authorized many works such as "The Legend of the Condor Heroes", "The Legend of the Condor Heroes", "Dragon Babu", "The Legend of the Deer and Ding" and so on. You can pick a Jin Yong work and make a TV series! ”

Jin Yong's drama was originally one of the killer features of TVB.

Almost every Jin Yong drama can get ratings from Changhong. Every remake can attract a large number of viewers to watch, which has to sigh, Jin Yong's masterpiece, even if there is no luxurious and extravagant CG special effects, just the plot and lines are enough to make the TV series a classic.

Zhang Shaojie is Jin Yong's only apprentice, and naturally he got the first month and licensed the adaptation rights of Jin Yong's 14 TV series to Asia Television.

The price is also simple - each TV series is remade once, and a licensing fee of HK$3 million is charged. Such a licensing fee is certainly not cheap.

However, Zhang Shaojie knows that excellent scripts are very rare. Normally, the script of a popular TV series needs at least hundreds of thousands to millions before it can be produced. That kind of script, even if it seems to be wonderful, but no one dares to pack a ticket to be able to be screened.

Jin Yong's adaptation of the TV series has never hit the street. Moreover, any Jin Yong drama has been remade many times, and it can still win the love of the audience.

This shows even more that the value of Jin Yong's TV series adaptation is immeasurable!

3 million remake authorizations, if Asia Television shoots two Jin Yong dramas every year, it is calculated. It only pays an additional 6 million licensing fees a year to guarantee two high-rated dramas.

And the two popular dramas can guarantee ratings for at least two months. The advertising revenue and influence this brings to ATV are even more difficult to estimate.

So, it's a good deal to spend it.

"I think, let's make a "Deer and Ding Ji" first!" Mai Dangxiong said with a smile, "There are relatively few adaptations of this play, the movie version!" However, a gangster like Wei Xiaobao, with luck and cleverness, actually became a big man, and had three wives and four concubines. This kind of story, filmed, most of the audience will like it! ”

"Is the production cost of 10 million enough?" Huang Xizhao suddenly asked.

"It's more, 15 million!" McDonald's Hero.

———————————————— May, the weather gradually warmed up.

And Asia TV's "Super Girl" has also begun to enter the finals, and the ratings of Asia TV have reached **. And in the process, after eliminating many contestants along the way.

Eventually, in a national participation in a telephone vote. The remaining top 4 players - Anita Mui, Chen Huixian, Ye Qianwen, Lin Yilian and others, any one of them has gathered hundreds of thousands of fans to support.

Although, most of these fans have met some singers with outstanding performances just because of the hype of the "Super Girl" show.

But as these fans witnessed their favored singers, passing five levels and six generals all the way, standing at the critical moment of the finals, the fans gradually began to get emotional.

Quite a few people are starting to convert into real die-hard supporters.

"This is the last round of the finals, and there are only 4 players left, namely Anita Mui, Chen Huixian, Ye Qianwen, and Lin Yilian. According to the judges' scores, the ranking is Anita Mui 256 points, Chen Huixian 247 points, Ye Qianwen 254 points, Lin Yilian 255 points, and there is not much difference between them. ”

As for the audience's voting data, Anita Mui voted 570,000 votes in the finals, Chen Huixian 480,000 votes, Ye Qianwen 460,000 votes, and Lin Yilian 500,000 votes. In the last round, there are 10 judges, each judge can score 0~10 points, and the total score of the judges can produce 100 points. The audience votes, telephone voting, each vote is 2 Hong Kong dollars, and 1,000 votes are equivalent to one point of the judges at the last moment of the competition, and the final sprint of the four contestants. Let's look forward to their performance in the final. See how they conquer the judges to give them high scores, how to conquer the audience, and let the audience vote for them" The host's series of explanations were almost breathless, "Draw lots to decide who will appear first - wow, it's Lin Yilian, Lin Yilian is the first to appear"

At the suggestion of the host, Lin Yilian was the first to come to the stage and bowed slightly to the judges and the audience.

The audience at the scene was excited:

"Lin Yilian, Lin Yilian!"

"I love you, Lin Yilian!"

"Always have your back"

Lin Yilian's face flushed, obviously infected by the warm atmosphere.

She takes a deep breath and the sound engineer plays accompaniment music.

Then she gently spat out strings of beautiful classical syllables:

"The grass is green, the white fog is vast, and there is a beautiful woman, on the water side.

The grass is green, the white fog is blurred, there is a beautiful woman, living by the water"

It is actually the lyrics of "On the Water Side", which is adapted from the Book of Poetry, which was actually written by Qiong Yao, and the song was composed by Lin Jiaqing. It was sung by Jiang Lei, Gao Lingfeng and others at the earliest in 75.

However, later made this song completely popular, but it was Teresa Teng's cover.

Now, Lin Yilian is trying to cover this song with a poetic conception, undoubtedly hoping to gain the favor of the judges through classical charm, so as to reverse the slight disadvantage.

Thanks to Lin Yilian's cover of "On the Water Side", this song undoubtedly produces a dreamlike atmosphere of poetry. It makes people experience the classical romantic love. If I were to rate her, I would definitely give her a perfect score! The host suddenly appeared on the stage and smiled, "I don't know the audience friends, but what kind of results will the judges give her?" ”

"On the Water Side" was extraordinary, and the judges were moved and gave Lin Yilian a high score of 96 points. Therefore, in this round of the competition, Lin Yilian's score of the chief judge reached 351 points.

The audience was obviously shaken, and Lin Yilian quickly added more than 80,000 votes to the voting toll phone number set up by the TV station. This brought her total votes to 590,000. The value of the vote is equivalent to 590 judges' scores.

Therefore, Lin Yilian's total score in the final reached 941 points, which gave her a very high advantage.

"Thank you, thank you judges, teachers, and enthusiastic fans and friends! I was able to get to the finals thanks to the support of all of you. No matter what the final result is, I love you all forever! Lin Yilian said excitedly after scoring the game
