685 The Tiger is Coming! The first concert in Hong Kong was livestreamed
After a busy afternoon, Wang Xiaohu drove to Wutai Mountain to pick up his wife home, and on the way back, he said: "What did you say to Zichen, she said that Teresa Teng's MTV was all directed by me." [Full text reading]"
After listening to her husband's slightly complaining words, Zhao Yazhi said with a smile: "Hehe, at that time, I told Zichen that you were going to shoot two MTVs of "Mulan" recently, so she said that she would also help you direct Teresa Teng's classic songs, and I casually agreed. ”
"Oh." Wang Xiaohu nodded and said, "I may not be able to help her shoot for a while, I'll just arrange other directors to do it, well, how do you feel about Zhang Aijia?" ”
"Aijia?" Zhao Yazhi shook her head and said: "She can't be busy filming now, and she doesn't have the slightest experience in directing, I'm afraid it's a little inappropriate for her to shoot MTV, I think it's better for me to shoot." ”
Wang Xiaohu was startled when he heard this, and hurriedly stopped the car and said, "Ah Zhi, you won't be serious, right?"
Zhao Yazhi said with a smile: "Of course it's serious, don't think that being a director is just your man's job, you see that Xu Anhua is not very good in the circle, and I don't shoot a movie, it's just an MTV-music short film." ”
"It's okay, anyway, you've been with me for so many years, and I've tried all the work done by other directors except for not being in charge of the camera." Wang Xiaohu restarted the car and encouraged his wife: "Don't come to Wutai Mountain tomorrow, let's go and make the MTV of "Mulan Star" first, you just happen to be familiar with it." ”
"Okay." Zhao Yazhi nodded happily and said.
Although she has retired from filming and no longer meets fans, she likes to use this way to help her husband develop his career, for example, now she is very concerned about the initial construction of Phoenix TV, she just wants to share the burden on her husband, and it is much easier to do behind-the-scenes management than to be an actor, not everything is done by herself, which does not affect her to take care of her son.
"Mulan Star" and "Mulan Love" are the episodes and ending songs in "Mulan", since Gu Jiahui and Huang Zhan received the task from Wang Xiaohu, they have very timely and seriously mobilized their respective teams to work overtime, in order not to delay the publicity and release of the film.
At present, the two songs have been created, and the MTV mentioned by Wang Xiaohu is actually very easy to produce, without spoilers, the discarded film in the film is recombined and edited into a short film, and after the music, it is considered to complete the task, on the one hand, it can be played separately on the Phoenix Music Channel as MTV, and it can also be used as a trailer for "Mulan" in Asia.
Early the next morning, Wang Xiaohu came to Xiehe Company with his wife and children, and asked Xiahou Mo to help take care of his son, and then plunged into the editing room with his wife.
In one morning, Wang Xiaohu personally finished the MTV of "Mulan Star", and the smoothness and speed of the technique were jaw-dropping.
"These are all materials collected from the film, and it is very efficient to make them at will, and if you want to be an MTV director, you have to rewrite the script according to the song and find actors to shoot it." Wang Xiaohu said: "The script was handed over to Li Shaonan to be in charge, and they worked on an assembly line, and several of them were very proficient in this kind of romance story. ”
Zhao Yazhi nodded again and again, remembering them one by one in her heart.
In the afternoon, the two of them could not continue to stay in the editing room, but the whole family went to Elizabeth Stadium to participate in Teresa Teng's concert, although the concert did not start until the evening, because it was an investor and a live TV broadcast, Wang Xiaohu and Zhao Yazhi needed to go to the scene half a day in advance to be busy.
Phoenix TV is ready to be in place, and the two live broadcast cars are also waiting outside the gymnasium, whether it is the on-site personnel or the staff of the TV station, they are all old employees retained after Wang Xiaohu acquired Jiayi TV Station, which is familiar with the way, and it also saves the trouble of re-recruiting employees.
Otherwise, Wang Xiaohu would not say that the TV station will open when it opens, and the opening of the TV station will also be carried out simultaneously with the publicity work of this concert, and the first efficient cooperation between Concord and Lifeng will let the citizens of Hong Kong know that the "Phoenix TV" music station will broadcast the "Teresa Teng Asia Tour" live broadcast simultaneously.
Teresa Teng's popularity in Hong Kong far exceeds that of her birthplace in Taiwan, and tickets for the concert were booked out as early as a week ago, thanks to the packaging of Lifeng Records in the past six years.
The citizens who did not buy tickets chose to stay in front of the TV and locked the channel on the Phoenix TV music station early.
In the early 80s, although Li's and TVB also did live programs, when the audience tuned to the Phoenix TV music channel, they still felt that the channel was different from TVB or Li's existence.
First of all, of course, in terms of station logos, different from TVB's typical three-color station logo, Phoenix TVB's station logo is quite beautiful, and it is a phoenix logo that slowly rotates from end to end.
In addition, the signal is quite stable, and the current TV screen is showing the night view of Hong Kong from the live broadcast car on the Victoria Peak, and many viewers only know that the night view of Hong Kong is so beautiful through the TV set for the first time.
"I must go to the Victoria Peak to camp another day, I didn't expect the night view of Hong Kong to be so charming!" This is the first reaction of many viewers after seeing the picture.
In fact, thinking that the person who placed the live broadcast car on the top of Taiping Peak was Long Zichen, Long Wu's business talent was undoubtedly shown in this regard, and even Wang Xiaohu felt that this was a clever move, which invisibly made a promotion for the business of Taiping Peak Restaurant.
Of course, the TV picture does not mean that the night scene in Hong Kong will not change, but it will be filmed synchronously through the live broadcast car of the Elizabeth Stadium, such as interspersed with the situation outside the live stadium, the concert scene, and the pictures of the backstage staff, which also let the audience in front of the TV understand clearly for the first time.
"Hey!"
Seventy-year-old Run Run Shaw did not go to the concert site due to his recent poor health, when he tuned the TV to Phoenix TV, he let out a long sigh after seeing the live broadcast, and Fang Yihua, who was waiting beside him, also sighed.
"I didn't expect Xiaohu to be so generous in doing TV shows." Fang Yihua said with emotion: "Fortunately, he didn't get involved in TV dramas and news, otherwise our TVB would be in danger." ”
Run Run Shaw was silent, he knew that what his wife said was not alarmist, if it was TVB to do the live broadcast program, he would not use more than two live broadcast cars, after all, the cost of each live broadcast car is expensive, and this is the first program of Phoenix TV or the first "Frequency Creation", the cost is so huge and there is no income at all, such an act in the whole world is probably only Wang Xiaohu and Long Zichen can do.
"Two small business maniacs don't know what kind of battle they're engaged in."
Run Run Shaw saw that the live broadcast camera was locked on the big stage of the concert at this time, and it seemed that the concert was about to start.
"Shaw, charge more when you rent a satellite live broadcast fee next time, like them occupy three live broadcast cars at a time, how will our TVB live broadcast programs be carried out in the future?" Fang Yihua muttered dissatisfiedly.
Run Run Shaw smiled bitterly and shook his head and said, "Woman's opinion, haven't you?" Not to mention anything else, just Wang Xiaohu's novel way of live broadcast is worth the cost of those satellite live broadcasts, and besides, do you not know my relationship with him, I have been asking him for it all these years, hey, not to mention that it is the dragon girl who rents the satellite live broadcast this time, she rarely begs me once, I always have to give the face of the Long family, right? ”
"But if it goes on like this, it will have a great impact on our TVB." Fang Yihua was still not satisfied, Run Run Shaw snorted coldly, and a pair of old eyes stared at the TV screen and ignored his wife.
Also staring at the Phoenix TV channel with Run Run Shaw are dozens of high-level executives of Li's TV station, after all, Wang Xiaohu's high-profile entry into the TV industry makes them feel very uneasy, everyone knows that Wang Xiaohu is a guy who does not play cards according to the convention, he has accumulated considerable contacts and funds in the film industry over the years, if he really enters the TV industry, coupled with his good relationship with TVB, the prospects of Li's TV station will be redetermined!
This can't blame colleagues in the TV circle for making the worst plans, take TV dramas as an example, "Jingwumen" and "Shanghai Tang" directly set a record in Hong Kong TV ratings, even TVB Zheng Shaoqiu, who is said to be in the sky, bowed down in front of the two classic TV series.
Why? Because these two TV series are written by Wang Xiaohu, they use the method of shooting movies to shoot TV series, and the high investment cost of TV dramas, the beauty of the shooting pictures, and the clarity of the picture quality are all incomparable to the two major TV stations that are accustomed to shoddy production.
And this year, it is rumored that Wang Xiaohu has finished filming "Huo Yuanjia", and is in full swing to produce Jin Yong's martial arts masterpiece "The Legend of the Condor Heroes", since "Huo Yuanjia" has been filmed, why not broadcast it on Phoenix TV immediately, it is not equal to the inventory in the hand after the repeated bombardment, who can resist the momentum of Phoenix at that time, and the TV audience in Hong Kong will not all gather to watch "Huo Yuanjia" and "The Legend of the Condor Heroes"?
used to say how the wolf came, but now we have to use how the tiger is coming to describe the panic that Wang Xiaohu's move brought to the TV circle!
And the initiator Wang Xiaohu didn't know that everyone in the circle was looking at him with a blank eye, he and his wife and children were sitting in the front row of the concert site, surrounded by Long Zichen, Lin Qingxia, Lin Fengjiao, Weng Meiling, and behind him were the Seven Xiaofu brothers and the employees of Concord Company.
As the boss who has always been considerate of his employees, Wang Xiaohu naturally took 100 tickets in advance through Long Zichen's relationship, anyway, the income from the first concert will be donated to the Hong Kong Disabled Persons' Association, as an investor in the concert, he will naturally not take free tickets.
When the concert warm-up music sounded, six backup dancers took to the stage, and four women and two men danced fast to the music.
"From the point of view of the music, the opening song must be a song with a cheerful rhythm, right?" Wang Xiaohu whispered.
Zhao Yazhi and Long Zichen beside him looked at each other and smiled at the same time, and both nodded, it seems that Wang Xiaohu doesn't seem to know anything about the concert.
Long Zichen said: "Yes, the opening song of Radisson's concert is very particular, and this time it is a fast song, so that it will have the effect of killing several birds with one stone, and it will soon be able to mobilize the atmosphere of the scene." ”
"And it can also be used as Lijun's own voice, so that her own voice and emotions can enter the best state as soon as possible."
Sure enough, as soon as Long Zichen's voice fell, the lights suddenly lit up on the stage that was pitch black just now, and a huge figure appeared on the curtain that had not yet risen, and fans didn't need to guess to know that the owner of the projection on the curtain was Teresa Teng.
The curtain slowly rose, and Teresa Teng climbed down the stairs to sing her new song "Love Like a Song".
"Let us join hands shoulder to shoulder and watch the waves under the cliffs by the sea; Let's drive around the wind and pick wildflowers at the foot of the green slopes."
It can be said that Teresa Teng at this time, whether it is the steps and demeanor of walking down the steps, that kind of dignified typhoon can be called the originator of countless singers on stage.
Wang Xiaohu also knew that Teresa Teng didn't want those players who sang strong songs in her previous life, she was the kind of singer who was more quiet and gave people a kind of little girl next door, so he didn't expect Teresa Teng to use more novel means and methods as soon as she appeared, after all, the current Asian music scene has not been fully integrated with Europe and the United States.
If Teresa Teng is allowed to hold a concert in the United States and come back, her appearance will definitely change.
After the singing of "Love Like a Song", the 3,520-seat Elizabeth Stadium resounded with warm applause, and Teresa Teng on the stage bowed to everyone in a very elegant way and said in Chinese: "Thank you for being able to watch my first large-scale concert." She then repeated it in Cantonese before continuing: "The song I'm going to sing below is a song that I have sung before, called "A Thousand Words", and I hope you will like it." ”
Teresa Teng's singing voice seems to be confiding in her friends, and it seems to be murmuring again, and the sad mood is probably the same as the lights permeating the stage, very melancholy.
"Hey, today's Radisson is in good shape, this song is probably the best version I have seen her sing in concert." Long Zichen muttered to himself.
Next Teresa Teng presented a Chinese song, as well as three English songs, these songs were completed in her singing and dancing, the use and grasp of the breath have reached the point of arbitrariness, and Wang Xiaohu also noticed that Teresa Teng's English song selection is as wide as Chinese songs, and various types of songs are involved, involving country, jazz, rock, and pop.
The open pomegranate skirt was also swaying in the music, and at this time the audience saw an energetic Teresa Teng.
