Chapter 1001: The Lin Era
It is said that the entertainment industry is realistic, but Hong Kong people are nostalgic. More than ten years have passed since Weng Meiling withdrew from the entertainment industry after her suicide, but the news about her comeback has been reported repeatedly, although it was eventually confirmed to be fake news, there are still many viewers still thinking about her.
On the second day of the launch of "Wulin Gaiden", the hotline of wireless was directly exploded by the audience, and everyone was asking about Weng Meiling's situation, and media reporters gathered a large number of people outside the wireless headquarters to try to find out more inside information.
Artist director Le Yiling went to work in the morning, and was surrounded by reporters as soon as she got off the bus.
"Director Le, can you tell us about Miss Weng Meiling?"
"Director Le, does Miss Weng's appearance in the Taiqing drama this time mean that she will return to wireless filming?"
Le Yiling pushed away a microphone that was almost poked in her face, and then explained to the reporters helplessly: "Thank you for your attention to the wireless TV celebration drama, there are many stars who have made cameos in the play this time, Miss Weng is just one of them, and the reason why she agreed to make a cameo is sure that everyone is also clear, as for the question of whether Miss Weng Meiling is ready to make a comeback, at least I haven't received relevant news yet, if so, I will definitely announce it to you as soon as possible." ”
Since last night, Le Yiling's phone calls at home have not stopped, all of them ask about Weng Meiling, and Le Yiling's answers are the same as now.
Not only Le Yiling, but the wireless up and down have been unified this time, so no matter who is asked about it, they will answer with the same words.
The media couldn't find a breakthrough from the wireless side. I had to speculate on my own, some people thought that Weng Meiling would make a comeback, but more people thought that Weng Meiling's comeback this time was unlikely, on the grounds that if Weng Meiling was really ready to make a comeback, the wireless attitude would not be as vague as it is now.
And from Weng Meiling's point of view, she herself may not be willing to come out to film anymore.
As for Weng Meiling agreeing to make a cameo in "Wulin Gaiden", Le Yiling replied with a "everyone understands", and the media has no opinion.
Weng Meiling committed suicide back then, if she hadn't been bumped into by Lin Youlun. She estimated that it had long since faded.
There is this life-saving kindness. It is not surprising that Weng Meiling agreed to Lin Youlun to make a cameo in "Wulin Gaiden".
Because of Weng Meiling, the ratings of the first episode of "Wulin Gaiden" reached a record-breaking 60 points, and the second episode was 55 points, which just made the audience regret. In subsequent episodes. Weng Meiling was not playing.
However, cameos from many stars. More or less made up for the disappointment of the audience.
In the third episode of "Wulin Inn", Zhou Yanfa made a cameo appearance as a teacher; In the fifth episode, Quinoa made a cameo appearance as a female catcher who wanted to take the six-door exam; In the sixth episode, Liu Jialing made a cameo appearance as a woman who competed to recruit relatives...... Stars from all walks of life in the Hong Kong entertainment industry appear in different roles. While the audience was dizzying, the ratings of the TV series gradually stabilized at around 56 points.
On November 19th, at the TVB "Thousands of Stars Celebrate Taiwan Celebration" TV party, Lin Youlun and Shao Yifu sat together in the audience, and Weng Meiling was also mentioned when chatting.
"Lin Sheng really has no idea to find Ah Weng to come back to film? You have a life-saving grace for her, and if you ask her to come back, she should not refuse. ”
Although Shao Yifu gave up the position of chairman of the board of directors of wireless, he is still the second largest shareholder of the company, and his suggestion is actually for the sake of wireless.
Lin Youlun shook his head, he couldn't do what he wanted to report, and there was no need for it.
After Shao Yifu learned Lin Youlun's thoughts, he didn't say anything more, but sighed regretfully.
"I just think it's a pity that Ah Weng quit the entertainment industry so early, many actresses who were not as popular as her back then are now dazzling stars in the Hong Kong film industry, if Ah Weng hadn't left, his achievements might not be lower than these people."
"Then why didn't the sixth uncle leave her behind?"
Shao Yifu was stunned for a moment, and then understood what Lin Youlun meant by asking, shook his head with a wry smile and said: "I wanted to do it back then, but I was more afraid that something would happen if I left her behind, to be honest, her character still makes me a little worried, she doesn't value her life so much at a young age, and it may not be a good thing for her to continue to stay in the entertainment industry." ”
Lin Youlun also sighed: "The reason why the sixth uncle didn't keep her back then is the reason why I don't want to find her back now." Character determines fate, I think this sentence is the most appropriate for her, her character is destined to be only a passerby in the entertainment industry. ”
"But people's personalities can also change, just like Lan Jieying. In terms of her own conditions, there are really few female artists in the same issue who can compare with her, if her character is not so stubborn, she will not suffer so much over the years, but then again, if she doesn't suffer these hardships, it is estimated that her personality will never change, and it would be good now, I heard that when she filmed "Wulin Inn", she was like a different person, those problems before were gone, Ah Weng left Hong Kong for ten years, some things should also be downplayed, since Lin Sheng is willing to give Lan Jieying a chance, why don't you give Ah Weng a chance? ”
Shao Yifu said so much, and the topic went around and returned to Weng Meiling.
"I know that Uncle Lu Dao is passionate about money, but have you ever thought that Ah Weng's departure in the past ten years is not only the golden stage of her personal development in the entertainment industry, but also the golden stage of the development of Hong Kong's film and television industry, and now the situation is different, the old group of actors have gained a firm foothold, and the new group of actors have also grown up. So I think it's better to leave a beautiful nostalgia in the hearts of the audience than to let her disappear after her comeback, which is also a kind of circular ending for her. ”
After Lin Youlun said this, Shao Yifu was silent for a long time. seems to have been convinced, and after that, he didn't mention the matter of letting Weng Meiling go back to wireless.
On stage, the performances of each group of artists are nearing the end, and the awards during the interspersed period ended after the new CEO of TVB, Yu Zheng, took the stage to present the Most Popular Actor Award, Wen Zhaolun and Zheng Yuling won the TV Emperor TV respectively, and this result was voted by nearly 700,000 TV viewers.
A huge cake was pushed onto the stage by the staff, and Shao Yifu and Fang Yihua were invited to the stage together to preside over the cake-cutting ceremony. All the wireless executives and artists in front of and behind the scenes stood up under the leadership of Lin Youlun and gave the warmest applause to Shao Yifu, who was supported by Fang Yihua on stage.
The live broadcast first gave Shao Yifu a close-up, and then gave a close-up of Lin Youlun, who was applauding in the audience, and the switch of the camera also seemed to imply the change of wireless power.
From this moment on, the rise and fall of TVB are all related to Lin Youlun, who is less than 30 years old at the helm of Hong Kong's most influential TV station, which is not only an achievement that others can hardly achieve, but also a heavy responsibility.
Although Shao Yifu standing on the stage is not the first time to enjoy such applause, this time the feeling is very special, so before cutting the cake, he said to the live camera and everyone on the scene with a lot of feelings: "In the past, Mrs. Li came to cut this cake, and then I watched it from the audience, and now it becomes me cutting the cake on the stage, and I am really a little uncomfortable for a while, wireless from its establishment to the present, 37 years have passed in a blink of an eye, and wireless has also experienced more than 20 years in my hands, it can be said that I have this life, The first half of my life was spent dealing with movies, and the second half of my life was dealing with television, which is like a reincarnation. Now I hand over this career to Lin Sheng and make movies again, which is a new beginning for me and a new beginning for everyone present, so Xie Lu thanked everyone for the applause just now, which is not only an encouragement to me, but also an encouragement to all of you! ”
Some of the old people in wireless felt a little sour when Shao Yifu said this, and some even couldn't help crying on the spot.
"This should be the last time I appear on the stage of the wireless celebration, here I first want to say sorry to Lin Sheng, because this decision has not been discussed with you in advance, but please believe that wireless under the leadership of Lin Sheng, there will be a more brilliant future, and I am old after all, my physical condition no longer allows me to be there every year, I hope Lin Sheng and everyone present can understand!"
was originally a happy and festive Taiwan celebration party, but because of Shao Yifu's farewell words, it had a bit of a sad taste.
Lin Youlun was the first to applaud, and then the others reacted, and the applause like a tide swept the audience again.
Others can't see it, but Lin Youlun knows very well in his heart that Shao Yifu is preparing to completely fade out of wireless and no longer care about the affairs here, which is equivalent to helping himself better control wireless.
From this move, it is not difficult for a discerning person to see Shao Yifu's old spiciness.
After the wireless changed hands, from the power structure of the board of directors to the human attribution of the wireless, they were actually slowly moving closer to Lin Youlun, and Shao Yifu was difficult to reverse in his heart, so he simply pushed the boat down the river to send this favor and took the initiative to make way for Lin Youlun.
This is an upright conspiracy, even if Lin Youlun can see the truth, he has to accept Shao Yifu's favor.
At the moment when Shao Yifu cut the cake, fireworks erupted around the stage, illuminating the faces on and off the stage.
After tonight, the wireless "Shaw Yifu era" can be regarded as officially coming to an end. (To be continued......)
