Lin Youlun's words finally prompted Shao Yifu to make up his mind to carry out a thorough reform of the Miss Hong Kong beauty pageant.

As soon as the news came out, it immediately caused a lot of discussion within TVB, although this "big move" was only aimed at the Hong Kong sister beauty pageant, but Shao Yifu's dissatisfaction with the current situation of the TV station has been revealed, and I don't know who will hit the head next time the board falls.

The most worrying thing is TVB's TV drama production department.

Several producers, who usually compete for scripts, actors, and broadcast schedules, have suddenly become much more "calm" recently, and their private contacts are much more frequent, and they will even meet together to play cards, which was impossible before.

A lamp was pulled low, and the yellowish light scattered on the distinctive faces and shone on the red velvet table. That kind of style, that kind of atmosphere, seems to be just for the sake of playing sparrows. Eight hands shuffled the cards in a dim light.

"Brother Wang, what do you think the boss thinks this time?" It was Xiao Mo who spoke, and as soon as he spoke, the other two producers at the card table also looked at Wang Tianlin in unison.

"Producer Xiao, why did you ask me about this? Who doesn't know that except for Miss Fang, you know the boss's mind best, and you don't know anything about Lu Dao, how can I know Lu Dao? Wang Tianlin shook his head.

Wang Tianlin and Xiao Tao have not had a good relationship, Wang Tianlin has followed Shao Yifu since the Shaw era, and is considered the company's veteran, and Xiao Tao was the producer of Li's TV station before, and was later dug up by Shao Yifu to wireless, although he has always been burdened with the identity of "second minister". But the ability is outstanding. Quite trusted by Shao Yifu.

Wireless has started filming martial arts TV series in recent years. Most of them are from Wang Tianlin and Xiao Wei, the two have always been in a competitive position, and they have been able to sit together and play cards recently, largely because both of them are facing the same crisis at this time - martial arts TV series that have created one rating record after another, after nearly seven or eight years of glory, inevitably fell into the dilemma of declining ratings, and compared with the rise and fall of martial arts movies in the same period, it also responds to the old saying "feng shui takes turns".

In the late 70s. Martial arts movies have slowly gone downhill because of the old-fashioned form and lack of creativity, Zhang Che, Chu Yuan, Hu Jinquan and a group of directors have either retired or turned to the mainland for another development, and the once glorious martial arts movies have become bleak in Hong Kong, and it is during this period that martial arts TV series are booming, and the novels of a group of martial arts masters such as Jin Yong and Gu Long have been adapted into TV series, which has achieved the most golden decade of martial arts TV dramas.

Last year, Xu Ke's "Once Upon a Time" was released, and martial arts films have once again recovered in the Hong Kong film industry, and the momentum is stronger than ever. And "Storm and Storm Dominates the World" released this year gave the audience a visual feast of martial arts special effects, compared to movies. The TV series is very rough in terms of set, action design, and special effects, and can no longer attract the attention of the audience as before.

And it is not only the external environment that is affected by the movie, but also the loss of directors, screenwriters, and actors within the industry is also a very thorny problem, especially the actors.

Throughout the 80s, the most shining actor on the TV screen was, undeniably, the Five Tiger Generals.

Wireless remade and started filming all of Kim Yong's full-length martial arts novels during this period, with the Five Tigers starring in most of these gatherings. In the era when martial arts dramas were the main production of wireless, the Five Tigers included all the important roles.

It's a pity that there is no banquet in the world, in the past two years, the contract between the five tigers and wireless has been terminated, and they have ended up unhappy, except for Huang Rihua, Liu Dehua, Liang Chaowei, Miao Qiaowei, Tang Zhenye have all left wireless, Liu Dehua and Liang Chaowei entered the film industry, and they were very popular, Miao Qiaowei and Tang Zhenye switched to other companies, and wireless made a small shortage for a while, and there was an embarrassment.

The actors under him are gone, and the minds that stay behind are not stable, and in this case, the quality of TV dramas will inevitably decline.

Shao Yifu carried out drastic reforms to Sister Hong Kong this time, and the TV drama producers of wireless are all in danger, including Wang Tianlin and Xiao Wei, of course, they got together in the name of playing cards this time, in fact, they also discussed countermeasures.

"Don't hide it from Brother Wang, I haven't seen the boss for a long time recently, and Miss Fang can't find any news from there, so I want to discuss with you to see if there is any way to get through this difficulty." Xiao Wei knew that now was not the time to be angry with Wang Tianlin, so he lowered his posture very low, and didn't care about the ridicule of Wang Tianlin's words.

"I also wonder about this, but now Miss Fang is handling the affairs of the TV station, and I haven't seen the boss for almost half a year, so Producer Xiao is really asking the wrong person." Wang Tianlin said while touching the cards.

Among the four people present, Wang Tianlin is actually the least anxious one, taking advantage of the slump in martial arts dramas during this time, he has already had the idea of retirement in his heart, his son Wang Jing and apprentice Du Qifeng partnered to open a film company, and it was time for him to retire.

Wang Tianlin didn't care like this, which made Xiao Mo and the other two producers a little helpless. Xiao Mo gave one of the producers surnamed Liang a look, and the man said: "Recently, the company is no longer as supportive of the filming of martial arts dramas as before, and several scripts have been pressed on it after they have been written, so it is not a matter to go on like this." ”

Seeing the other party's sad face, Wang Tianlin just sighed lightly, "If you want me to watch it, I'm afraid that the number of martial arts dramas is coming to an end, and it is estimated that it is impossible to imagine that it has received so much support before." ”

Several other people also feel the same way, but they are all used to making martial arts dramas, and they are not very good at other genres.

"The key is that if you don't make martial arts dramas, what else can you film?" Another producer, surnamed Liu, interjected.

"I don't know about that." Wang Tianlin had a helpless expression.

"I heard that Producer Wang's son has a good relationship with Mr. Lin......" Producer surnamed Liang mentioned it seemingly casually, Wang Tianlin's action of touching the cards paused, and raised his head to look at the other party.

"It's true that kid in my family knows Mr. Lin very well, but he's been making movies, could it be that Producer Liang wants to change careers?"

The producer Liang hurriedly waved his hand, "I have a little bit of a catty, Producer Wang is not clear, it would be good to be able to eat in the TV circle, the water in the film circle is so deep, I don't dare to insert a foot in it...... I just heard that Uncle Sixth had a deep talk with Mr. Lin once before deciding to reform the Miss Hong Kong beauty pageant. ”

"Oh?" This is the first time Wang Tianlin has heard of this, when he saw this Liang producer talking, his eyes looked at Xiao Tao from time to time, and his heart suddenly knew that he could hear such a secret news, and only Xiao Tao had this ability among the people present.

"How can Mr. Lin have the kung fu to take care of these things?" Wang Tianlin's head shook like a rattle, in his opinion, it was better to go to Lin Youlun to inquire about the news, it was better to go directly to Shao Yifu to ask for clarification.

Xiao Wei, who had been silent since just now, finally couldn't help but speak, "Producer Wang really doesn't know what to do?" ”

"What do you know?" Wang Tianlin frowned, with a puzzled expression in his eyes.

Regardless of whether Wang Tianlin pretended not to know the Tao or really didn't know the Tao, Xiao Mo decided to spread out the words and said, "I recently heard the news that the boss may transfer some of the shares in his hand to Mr. Lin, if the news is true, Mr. Lin will be one of the shareholders of Wireless." ”

Wang Tianlin raised his eyebrows, his expression was quite calm, but his heart had already set off turbulent waves. After he intends to retire, it is true that a lot of news from the top is no longer as well-informed as before, but it is strange that he has not heard of such a big thing beforehand.

Also unaware is the producer surnamed Liu, "Producer Xiao, is this news reliable?" ”

"It was Miss Fang who told me personally, there shouldn't be any fakes." Xiao Wei nodded affirmatively, "Of course, Miss Fang just said that the boss and Mr. Lin are in contact in this regard, and it is not very clear whether it can be done or not." ”

"Mr. Lin only took over "Ming Pao" at the beginning of the year, and now he is ready to invest in wireless, does he really have so much money in his hands?" Producer Liu said suspiciously.

"It's not a shareholding, it's an equity swap." The news that Xiao Haoda heard was very comprehensive.

The other people present immediately reacted, of course, Shao Yifu could not be interested in Lin Youlun's "Ming Pao" Group, so this equity swap was only willing for Lin Youlun to exchange the equity of Jiayi Cinema Line for the equity of Wireless.

"Is Uncle Sixth preparing to regroup and return to the film industry this time?" Producer Liang also joined the discussion.

"There is this possibility, haven't you seen that Miss Fang's support for 'Metropolis' has become stronger and stronger in the past two years?" Producer Liu replied.

As early as only a year after Shaw Yifu sold the Shaw Brothers Cinema Line as a whole to Lin Youlun, Shaw Brothers cooperated with Wireless "Metropolis" Film Company, at the beginning only one or two movies a year, and it didn't attract attention, but recently Met's actions suddenly became bigger, and he announced the shooting plan of 3 films in one go.

Xiao Mo didn't speak, he knew that this was just an indication of the phenomenon, and the deeper reason was that Lin Youlun and Shao Yifu had a common enemy, so they chose to join forces at this time.

Just three days ago, the Lin Baixin family officially announced that it would buy 40% of ATV's shares from Qiu Degen, and will successively buy the remaining shares of Qiu Degen in the next three years to achieve full control of ATV.

The Lin family's entry into ATV suddenly made Shao Yifu feel a lot of threat, and this is why he has the plan to pull Lin Youlun into the gang and join forces to fight against the strong enemy. (To be continued.) )
