Chapter 37: Ratings frenzy
This thing is really strange, Wang Jing has known Liu Dehua before, but he has never felt that this kid is so suitable for his appetite.
"Why don't I go to my dad and see if I can get him to help me figure it out."
Liu Dehua, who had been sitting there listening to the two of them, couldn't help but get excited, Wang Tianlin's status in the Shaw Brothers is not low, if he is willing to help speak, this matter should have a turnaround.
"Your father wants to take care of this matter, others will say that his hand is too long, and even the sixth uncle will have an opinion on him." Wang Tianlin is the producer of TVB, not the director of the artist, Lin Youlun does not believe that Wang Tianlin will risk offending the top management to help Liu Dehua intercede.
And Liu Dehua's current situation is very bad, because he is not rebelling against a certain high-level, but the entire wireless artist system.
Although TVB's artist system has been criticized by the outside world, and the artist contract is called the "deed of sale", it is this system that has ensured the prosperity of TVB in recent years. At this time, most of the wireless artists still hold a trembling Party B mentality, even if they become the pillars and Hua Dan of the master, they are just honestly working for a job. Wireless has been accustomed to the control of the artist, and suddenly a thorn like Liu Dehua appeared, if he is not refrigerated and blocked, others will soon follow suit, and when the people's hearts are scattered, the team will not be easy to lead.
"If you want to leave wireless, you can't run away from the cold bench this year." Liu Dehua almost despaired when he heard this, but then Lin Youlun changed his words, "But how to sit on the cold bench this year can be particular." ”
Wang Jing's eyes also lit up, Lin Youlun promised to write a script for Shaw Brothers, in exchange, if he wanted to find any actor from Shaw Brothers to film in the future, Shaw Brothers would not stop him.
Lin Youlun wanted to find Liu Dehua to make a movie, and Shaw Brothers had to agree if he didn't agree.
After listening to the explanations of the two, Liu Dehua's gloomy face seemed to be blown away by a gust of wind, and gradually became clearer.
"I don't have anything to do with the rest." Lin Youlun got up and gave up his seat to Wang Jing, "You go on, I'm going out." ”
Lin Youlun returned to the living room from the balcony, and happened to bump into Fa Ge at the door, Fa Ge pulled him and asked, "Mr. Lin, the friend who came with me today is gone, have you seen him?" ”
At this time, Chu Hong also came out of the bathroom and shook his head regretfully at Zhou Yanfa, "There is no one inside." ”
"Are you looking for Andy?"
Zhong Chuhong and Zhou Yanfa looked at each other, they also found out that Liu Dehua was missing just now, how did Lin Youlun know about Lu Dao?
Lin Youlun pointed behind him, "Andy is on the balcony, I thought he told you." ”
Zhong Chuhong and Zhou Yunfa asked in unison: "You and Andy knew each other before?" ”
Lin Youlun shrugged, "I know him, but he doesn't know me." ”
Zhong Chuhong hesitated, "Then who is he and you?" ”
"Wang Jing felt that Andy was very suitable for playing the role of Fei Tsai, so he brought him to see me." Lin Youlun briefly explained the matter, "Andy said that he has been in a little trouble recently, and then I helped him come up with an idea, and now they are still discussing the role on the balcony." ”
Zhou Yunfa didn't expect things to turn out like this, he had been thinking about how to open this mouth to Lin Youlun before, and was even ready to ask Honggu to help talk about it, but he didn't expect Liu Dehua to hit it crookedly, and he got a role in Wang Jing's movie.
Zhou Yunfa is sincerely happy for Liu Dehua, "Andy is a typical Hong Kong person, very hard, and he has survived, so he will seize every opportunity." I'm sure he won't let Mr. Lin down. ”
——
Wang Jing thought that Lin Youlun would immediately propose to the Shaw Brothers to find Liu Dehua to make a movie, but Lin Youlun told him that the time was not yet ripe. At first, Wang Jing didn't understand what Lin Youlun meant by this timing, but he soon understood. …,
After two episodes of "Iron Blood" was serialized in "Ming Pao", TVB finally aired the first episode of the adapted TV series.
In order to finish filming this series, Johnny To's crew had to finish filming all three weeks of filming in ten days, and during the time of day and night shooting, several leading actors had almost no time to sleep, of course, it didn't matter if they ate or rested, and injuries were commonplace. Liang Chaowei accidentally sprained his waist and often needed to rush to the set from the therapist; Miao Qiaowei was injured by a prop while filming a fight scene, and had six stitches on his arm, and filmed as usual the next day; Weng Meiling was not injured this time, but often when the director shouted the card, her two eyelids couldn't open immediately, and she could fall asleep with anything casually. The only good thing is that several young leading actors have endless momentum and a fearless heroism, and it is this kind of hard work that has brought unprecedented success.
On the night of the premiere, more than 400,000 people in Hong Kong watched the first episode of "Iron Blood" on television, and after "Shooting the Condor", it once again triggered a nationwide viewing frenzy, and various topics about the TV series became the focus of heated media and public discussion the next day. On the street or at the bus stop, when you meet acquaintances, you no longer talk about the weather or the latest stock market, you are not discussing the direction of the plot, or you are guessing the fate of the characters in the play, and many people are concerned about when the next serialized novel of "Ming Pao" will be in the newspaper.
Such ratings and social impact not only gave competitors a sense of powerless frustration, but also tasted a lot of sweetness from it. Miss Fang's original decision now seems to be extremely correct, not only did the voices within the company oppose the high-price purchase of scripts disappear, but Run Run Shaw even entrusted the most important artist management department of TVB to her.
Although only one episode of the TV series was broadcast, both the audience's word-of-mouth and industry evaluations were well received. The company also intends to push the ratings of this TV series to a higher peak, so in the subsequent variety show "Star-Gazing Competition", the starring Liang Chaowei and Weng Meiling appeared together, breaking the news of anecdotes on the set and performing acrobatics, through a series of publicity means, trying to further expand the audience of this TV series.
This TV series broadcasts one episode in three days, and each episode premiere can almost reproduce the ratings of thousands of empty alleys when "Shooting the Condor" was broadcast, and Wireless didn't know where to know that "Iron Blood" was just a prequel, and Lin Youlun also has a novel with more than one million words in his hand, inheriting the story of "Iron Blood".
After confirming the news, Fang Yihua immediately decided to buy the adapted script of this novel at the price of 100,000 yuan per episode, but Lin Youlun did not agree immediately, but only said that he would think about it again.
Lin Youlun showed a posture of waiting for the price to sell, and Wireless was even ready to be slaughtered, but in the end, Lin Youlun's request made them dumbfounded.
