278 [Two New Dramas]

The opening banquet of Phoenix TV lasted for more than an hour, and the brothers Xiang Huaqiang and Xiang Huasheng left after eating, but Wang Jing, who was at the same table with them, stayed until the end.

After the banquet, watching many reporters flock to the conference room of the hotel, Wang Jing also squeezed over. He also has a task today, which is to help his father Wang Tianlin to inquire about the situation. It's not that I'm a spy, just listen to what Kang Jianfei will announce at the press conference.

The conference room was very large, Wang Jing slipped to the corner of the last row and sat down, and waited for a few minutes before seeing Kang Jianfei and Huang Xizhao, Zhong Jinghui, Mai Dangxiong, Xiao Ruoyuan and others walking to the rostrum.

Zhong Jinghui was the host, sitting next to Kang Jianfei, and more than 120 reporters came in one after another.

"Friends from the media," Zhong Jinghui adjusted the angle of the microphone, "Let me first introduce the gentlemen who attended the press conference. On my right are Mr. Kang Jianfei, the boss of Phoenix TV, Mr. Huang Xizhao, the general manager of Phoenix TV, and McDonald's bear, the director of the program...... I now give the floor to Mr. Kang. ”

Kang Jianfei took off the microphone and patted it, leaned back in his chair and said, "The main reason for inviting everyone here today is to announce a few messages to the outside world. First of all, Phoenix TV is wholly owned by contemptible people, and the board of directors of the TV station has been abolished, and I will only be the boss in the future......"

Before Kang Jianfei finished speaking, the reporters in the audience were already in an uproar. Although there were various rumors before, it was confirmed by Kang Jianfei himself, but it gave everyone another feeling.

Kang Jianfei continued: "Let's take a look at this station logo. ”

Two staff members came up carrying the station logo of Phoenix TV, and some reporters in the audience couldn't help but shout: "Mr. Kang, what is the significance of your station logo design?" ”

"That's a good question," Kang Jianfei said with a smile, pointing to the station logo, "I changed the name of the TV station to Phoenix, which means to take a phoenix nirvana and be reborn from the ashes." As we all know, Lishi has been in a slump some time ago, and I hope that after changing the name to Phoenix Terrace, it will be able to rejuvenate itself. As for this symbol, the Chinese have regarded the phoenix as a symbol of good luck and peace and well-being since ancient times. The two main bodies of a phoenix and a phoenix, one yin and one yang, are like two burning fires, which are extremely dynamic and co-contained in a circle, which is both intuitive and symbolic. The phoenix tail and the phoenix tail are not blocked, they are connected, implying openness and enterprising. And from another point of view, this station logo is a variant of Taiji Yin and Yang Fish......"

Kang Jianfei talked for a long time, and Huang Xizhao said in a timely manner: "The logo of Phoenix Terrace was designed by Mr. Kang. ”

Patting the horse's ass is a profound science, and sometimes when a thousand words are said to be good, the horse's fart will be patted on the horse's leg. And Huang Xizhao just said so lightly, he had already slapped the sycophants in place.

......The reporters in the audience, whether they were sincere or false, all applauded warmly.

Kang Jianfei said: "The programs of Phoenix TV, the English channel will not change much for the time being, and the programs of the Chinese channel are all reformed, I believe you can see a different Phoenix TV tonight." ”

Speaking of which, there was no explosive news at today's press conference, and reporters were inevitably a little disappointed.

Next, Huang Xizhao talked about the situation after the reorganization of Phoenix Channel, and soon handed over the microphone to McDonald's Bear. McDonald Bear did not disappoint the reporters, and went straight to the point: "After a month-long planning and discussion between Mr. Kang, me and Xiao Ruoyuan, Phoenix Channel will open two new dramas in the next two months. I am the producer of a "Sister Tuogun", which is adapted from "Royal Sister" starring Miss Lin Qingxia......"

"...... Uproar"

Halfway through McDonald's words, the reporters were in an uproar.

Because it is different from in parallel space, "Royal Sister" was released five years ahead of schedule, which has basically replaced the status of "Best Partner" in the hearts of Hong Kong fans. Coupled with the terrifying overseas box office of "Royal Sister", this film has a huge influence in Hong Kong, and now Phoenix TV suddenly announced that it will adapt "Royal Sister", where can reporters still hold back.

Some reporters couldn't wait to raise their hands, while others simply asked straight questions. McDonald Bear patted the microphone to signal everyone to be quiet, and continued for a long time: "The second drama is supervised by Mr. Kang himself, and the name of the drama is "Xun Qin Ji". ”

"Buzz ......"

This time, the reporter's response was not much better, and the crowd was buzzing. "Looking for Qin" is the most popular novel in Hong Kong in recent years, except for the "Wesley" series. Now that it is suddenly announced that "Xun Qin Ji" will be filmed, many book fans must be crazy with joy.

While the reporters were waiting to ask questions freely, Zhong Jinghui suddenly announced: "Okay, this is the end of today's press conference. ”

Kang Jianfei was the first to leave the seat and walked outside, and the reporters were collectively stunned for a moment, and suddenly stood up and rushed to Kang Jianfei and McDonald's Bear.

"Mr. Kang, who are you going to let play Xiang Shaolong in "Looking for Qin"?"

"Director Mai, who is the protagonist of "Sister Tuogun"?"

"Mr. Kang, will you shoot a lot of meat scenes in "Looking for Qin"?"

“……”

Kang Jianfei squeezed out of the pile of reporters with a smile all the way, and didn't reveal any information, just release the news to create momentum, and it is not beautiful to say too much.

In fact, Kang Jianfei originally planned to shoot "Xun Qin", and even finished writing the TV script, but when he went to the props warehouse of the TV station, he saw that the costumes in it were not divided into dynasties at all, and the colors were very dull.

It is very economical to shoot TV series in Hong Kong, not only TVB is slamming the door, but Lishi is not much worse.

Kang Jianfei reluctantly pumped 5 million funds from DreamWorks into the TV station, in addition to redesigning the costumes, he also updated the stage equipment in the station, and left the rest in the station to do expenses - he was about to lose his salary.

The filming of "Xun Qin" should be slowed down for the time being, but it cannot be without other actions. Kang Jianfei simply asked Mai Dangxiong and Xiao Ruoyuan to discuss, and took out the story of "Sister Tuogun".

"Sister Tuogun" is one of the classic Hong Kong dramas, filmed one after another in the original time and space, each with high ratings, and it is a rare longevity drama. Coupled with the gimmick adapted from "Royal Senior Sister", any hype can attract countless audiences.

As for the plot of this TV series, Kang Jianfei only remembers a synopsis now, and he can't write it at all if he wants to write it, so he can only let Xiao Ruo fill in the content. Xiao Ruoyuan is known as the saint of screenwriting, not to mention that Kang Jianfei gave the synopsis of the story, even if he only gave him an idea, he could also make up the story well.

The newspaper headlines of the next day were the news of the opening of Phoenix TV without exception, followed by the news that Phoenix TV was preparing to adapt "Royal Senior Sister" and "Xun Qin Ji".

Ordinary citizens don't care about the name of the TV station, but they are more keen to talk about Kang Jianfei's self-made business. However, the news that Phoenix TV is preparing to start filming "Sister Tuogun" and "Looking for Qin" has made ordinary readers look forward to it.

Not only that, but the Oriental Daily also published a scoop. said that when "Looking for Qin" is officially launched, the original serialized novels will be assembled and published, and the lucky ones who buy the novels will also have the opportunity to get the autographs of Xiang Shaolong and Qin Qing in the TV series "Looking for Qin".

As soon as this news came out, it immediately detonated the enthusiasm of fans of "Xun Qin", and they called the "Oriental Daily" office one after another to ask about the specific date of the novel's publication.

Originally, when Lishi's ratings were sluggish, the advertising fee was reduced again and again, and even reached the point where it was difficult to pull advertising. Now that Kang Jianfei bought the TV station, he didn't have time to start filming a new drama, and just announced the name of the TV series, many shrewd advertisers called to inquire about the situation.

Fang Yihua walked into Shao Yifu's office with a few newspapers and said, "There is a lot of momentum over there on Phoenix Terrace." ”

Shao Yifu was also the general manager of the wireless station at this time, although he was a lot older, but he was very energetic, and he had to personally ask about many things. He knocked on his pipe and said: "Tianlin came here just now, and his new play already has eyebrows, called "Thousands of Rivers, Thousands of Mountains, Always Love". I listened to his thoughts and felt that this drama was very interesting, so I decided to let Xie Xian and Wang Mingquan act. ”

Fang Yihua asked with some concern: "Sister Tuogun" over there on Phoenix Terrace, but adapted from "Royal Senior Sister", can "Thousands of Rivers, Thousands of Mountains Always Love" be the enemy?" ”

Shao Yifu said: "You have to believe in Tianlin's ability, he is the old man of the Shaw family, I know it in my heart." But it was the change in Phoenix Terrace last night, and we were alert. ”

Fang Yihua said disdainfully: "Isn't it just a matter of changing a few clothes, the ratings still depend on the content of the show." ”

The so-called reform of Phoenix TV has basically not changed the content of the program, but the host's dress and stage style have changed a lot. The studio and stage lighting equipment have been replaced, which is more fashionable and modern than that of the wireless station, and the host's dress is not so dull, becoming fresh and natural, full of life.

Although Shao Yifu felt that he should face up to these changes on Phoenix Channel, he was reluctant to spend money, so he decided to do the show as it was. Just like Fang Yihua said, Shao Yifu also believes that the content of the program is the guarantee of ratings, and everything else is trivial.

Fang Yihua glanced at Kang Jianfei's photo in the newspaper, and a fierce color flashed in his eyes. She attaches great importance to the TV station, if the ratings of "Sister Tuogun" really suppress "Thousands of Rivers, Thousands of Mountains, Always Love", then Fang Yihua will have to resort to some crooked ways.

Three years ago, Yihua was not the manager of the wireless station, but the idea of spending money to buy Xu Shaoqiang, the protagonist of "Silkworm Transformation", and making him disappear automatically, was proposed by Fang Yihua.

……

It was almost evening, and in front of the original Jiayi TV station building, Zhou Xingchi bought a copy of "Ming Pao" and squatted on the steps to read it. His eyes had been staring at the front page of Phoenix News, and suddenly someone slapped him on the shoulder, startling him to stand up suddenly.

Zhou Xingchi looked back and saw that the person who patted him on the shoulder was his friend Liang Chaowei, and said with a false alarm: "Please, don't walk without making a sound in the future." ”

Liang Chaowei said with a smile: "Is it good for you to read the newspaper in a daze, what kind of news is so good?" ”

"Leigh's TV station has been renamed Phoenix TV." Zhou Xingchi patted the newspaper on his hand, and suddenly took out a piece of paper from his trouser pocket, "What do you think this is?" ”

Liang Chaowei leaned over to take a look at it, and said in surprise: "Phoenix TV training class registration form!" How did you get this thing? Be careful not to be seen by the teacher. ”

Zhou Xingchi was silent for a moment, and suddenly said, "I want to go to Phoenix Terrace to sign up for a try." ”

Liang Chaowei asked in surprise: "You don't read the wireless training class?" ”

Zhou Xingchi squatted down and laughed self-deprecatingly: "What is the future of the night class?" You're different, you've only been in the training class for a month, and you've already been able to act in unit dramas. Even if I graduated from the night class, I could only run around on the set at most, and I didn't have a chance to play an important role. ”

Liang Chaowei heard Zhou Xingchi say such things, and he didn't know how to comfort him for a while.

Zhou Xingchi and Liang Chaowei have been good friends since childhood, and their family backgrounds are not very good, and they have worked as handymen after leaving school. Zhou Xingchi admired Bruce Lee since he was a child, and he dreamed of stardom for a long time, and the year before last, he accidentally became a special guest actor of Lishi, which immediately stimulated his desire to perform.

Zhou Xingchi applied for the wireless training class last year, but unfortunately he was not admitted. This year, Zhou Xingchi brought his good friend Liang Chaowei to come again, but Liang Chaowei was admitted to the training class, but he fell off the list again.

Fortunately, during the exam, Qi Meizhen, a student of the previous session, recognized Zhou Xingchi and pleaded with the teacher that he was taking the wireless training class every year, and he was very persistent, and he should be given a chance.

So, under Qi Meizhen's plea, Zhou Xingchi finally entered the night class - equivalent to the reserve student of the training class.

Even if it is a student of the artist training class, it may not be able to be popular, let alone the spare student of the night class, Zhou Xingchi is not depressed in his heart, it is fake.

"It's not too early, let's go eat first." Liang Chaowei looked at his watch and said.

Zhou Xingchi came to wait for him to go to dinner together, and after the collapse of Jiashi, the building was rented by the wireless station to shoot fashion dramas. Liang Chaowei had just filmed the unit drama "Vitality Eleven" in the Jiashi Building, while Zhou Xingchi rushed over after work to have dinner with Liang Chaowei, and then went to the night training class.

The two of them had a meal in the canteen of the wireless station, and when they were brought to an inconspicuous corner, Zhou Xingchi whispered: "Wei Zai, I thought about it carefully, and decided to sign up quietly first." If you can't choose it, forget it, if you can be admitted to the Phoenix training class, I won't be able to read the night class here. ”

"Isn't the tuition fee for the night class paid in vain?" Liang Chaowei said distressedly.

Zhou Xingchi said: "It's a big deal to be diligent and work an extra job every day." ”

Liang Chaowei asked: "Lishi's training class should have started early, why did you sign up for enrollment now?" ”

Zhou Xingchi shaved his rice and said, "How do I know, it may have something to do with the change of boss." And I heard that some time ago, Lishi left a lot of actors, and there should be a shortage of manpower over there, maybe I will have filming as soon as I graduate from the Phoenix training class. ”

In the past two days, I have been miserable by the decoration next door, and the chainsaw for sawing wood rings once every ten minutes on average. Yesterday, Lao Wang was outside the Internet café during the day, but he was in no mood to code words inside, and he had been playing games and chatting. Four more shifts will be made up during the day. RS
