Chapter 302: Dark Tide
"Golden Branches" continues to be released, with more and more audiences and more and more influence.
In recent years, the audience has gradually noticed that there is also one thing that mainland TV dramas are very worthy of learning from Hong Kong dramas, that is, the setting of scene props. Generally speaking, Hong Kong dramas can save money in this regard, such as "The Legend of the Condor Heroes", "Snow Mountain Flying Fox", etc., which were very popular before, filming a martial arts conference attended by thousands of people, but they can still only shoot on a small dirt slope, with a few grasses called grasslands, and a few trees called forests.
Compared with other Hong Kong dramas for speed and cost, "Golden Branches" has completely changed the previous style from the costumes, makeup to shooting locations, and exchanged high investment for the beauty of every shot.
The on-site filming in the Forbidden City and the summer resort has changed the defects of the past Hong Kong drama court dramas that were filmed in a small location and only those scenes from place to place. In this way, you can feel the majesty and grandeur of the palace when you watch the entire TV series, which is very atmospheric.
The costumes and styling respect the epic, not only conveying the characteristics of each character through costumes and makeup, but also showing the history in its original form. Each frame is particularly beautiful and a feast for the audience's eyes.
It can be said that this TV series is simply subversive. In one fell swoop, the image of the TV series in the audience's hearts was completely subverted. spared no expense to shoot on the spot in the mainland, showing the palace life in real life, which greatly made up for the shortcomings of the past. Let the audience know that it turns out that TV series can also be like movies, so atmospheric, so exquisite, and so beautiful. So beautiful.
The most subversive point is the content, and its focus is not on the plot. It's people.
For many years, the audience has been accustomed to watching TV dramas, there are always good guys and bad guys, good guys make people sympathetic, and bad guys make people angry. But in "The Desire of the Golden Branch", this eternal law is broken, because there is no good person in the play. Everyone is playing tricks for their own interests. The whole drama is to fully interpret "conspiracy and lies". But it is not enough to show the "rape" of the characters. In order to plump out the characters, the screenwriter explained the development of the characters' personalities while also making the audience aware of them. Every traitor can be said to be "in the rivers and lakes, and he can't help himself", and he has his own helplessness.
Although the background of the story of "The Desire of the Golden Branch" is a play of the Qing Dynasty, it is ingenious. Connect with our current world. Everyone climbs up and fights to the death. When the audience watches it, it will be easy to devote themselves to the characters, and follow each character to share joys and sorrows, and resonate.
When the ratings rose from 31 points in the first episode to 48 points in the tenth episode, everyone knew that Yang Lin was about to create magic again. I just don't know, this time "Golden Branches". Will it break the myth of ratings created by Yang Lin's own "Rogue Tycoon".
The Hong Kong media is even more full of praise. Sing praises.
However, under this thriving appearance, the Hong Kong entertainment industry is undercurrent. The starting point of the trend is TVB. The more silent TVB is, the higher the level of the storm will be. People have calmed down and waited to see how this giant in the Hong Kong entertainment industry will face this crisis.

"Did you find it?"
Shao Yifu's face was gloomy, as if he could drip water.
Feng Meiji wiped the sweat from her forehead and said anxiously: "No, I have searched for everything, but this person seems to have evaporated from the world, and there is no trace of him." ”
Shao Yifu fell silent, his eyes flickering.
Wu Zhenyu and Ouyang Zhenhua, the representatives of these two middle-level artists, actually disappeared.
This made Shao Yifu feel bad. In his plan, as long as the leading artists are dealt with, this turmoil will quietly dissipate invisibly. The rest of the people are just headless flies, so don't worry, but snakes can't do without heads.
Who is it that has killed the opportunity for him as a "divisive leader"?
"The people down there, what's the action?"
The sense of crisis in Shao Yifu's heart is getting stronger and stronger, and he always feels that the crisis is becoming more and more urgent.
Xiao Sheng said in a deep voice: "There is no action, all of them go to work and leave work in a regular manner, they don't see each other, they don't party, and they can't see any difference." ”
Feng Meiji secretly despised it, and said worriedly: "The more regular, the more abnormal, I'm afraid, I'm about to make a move." ”
Shao Yifu nodded, and suddenly, a strange thought popped up in his heart: How can he be like those feudal emperors now, trying every possible way to suppress the uprising in fear?
This thought made Shao Yifu frightened.
Could it be that he is really like those emperors, who have completely become two classes and enemies with his employees?
Shao Yifu never thought of this idea. He has always stood in the position of the ruler of wireless, looking down on all living beings from above, killing and taking away, and acting resolutely. The purpose of all actions is to strengthen wireless and suppress ATV.
Now I suddenly found that I had never cared about the feelings of those artists. Wireless has nurtured them, and it's true that they have the grace to pass on their arts. However, he just blindly asked, a little favor, but asked them to repay a thousand times more.
It's that people are selfish, and they are like this, so are those artists.
No one wants to be squeezed of surplus value by others for their hard work.
Therefore, when all this is silently endured, one day, it will become like an abscess, which can no longer be hidden, and it will completely erupt and be out of control.
Water can carry a boat, but it can also capsize a boat.
The ancients of a thousand years ago could understand the truth, but I, Shao Yifu, actually abandoned it and turned a blind eye.
What's the use of just having a Zhou leap hair? What's the use of Lucy Cheng alone?
These middle-level artists are the cornerstone of TVB, the future of TVB, and the foundation of his Shao Yifu and dominating Xiangjiang. Why did Yang Lin instigate? It is because he cares about these people and the strong heritage of TVB.
I was so stupid that I wanted to rely on strong means to suppress these people alive. Don't say that you can't suppress it, even if you can't suppress it, so what? Can it be pressed once, twice, can it still be pressed for a lifetime? Once these people are suppressed by themselves, they cut off the only little incense they have left, they leave morality, and they betray their relatives, what is the use?
Shao Yifu suddenly figured out this, and the sweat came down.
Fortunately, I haven't taken this final step yet.
Shao Yifu closed his eyes, thought about it in detail for a while, and quickly made up his mind: "Call Tian Lin, hurry up." ”
On TVB, in addition to him Shao Yifu, Wang Tianlin has the best popularity and the most extensive connections, and he will not cause much backlash compared to him. Feng Meiji is the head of the artist department, but her qualifications are not good, and she is not enough to deal with this matter.
The sound of the flute? This man is arrogant, and he is thankful that he will not spoil his own big things.
Hearing Shao Yifu call Wang Tianlin, Feng Meiji's eyes rolled, and he said yes and ran out.
Xiao Sheng's face was ugly: "Mr. Shao, Tian Lin is far away, if there is anything, you just tell me to do it." ”
Shao Yifu opened his eyes slightly, looked at Xiao Sheng, and nodded: "Of course I can't be idle with you, I am going to hold a press conference, I have something to announce." ”
Xiao Sheng was stunned, it's time to hold a press conference?
However, he didn't dare to question Shao Yifu, although he couldn't guess Shao Yifu's motives, he immediately got up and prepared.

"Hold a press conference?"
In a room in Tsim Sha Tsui, Yang Lin took the phone and asked suspiciously.
At this time, Shao Yifu is going to hold a press conference, what is he going to do? Looking back, Wu Zhenyu and Ouyang Zhenhua were also confused.
"Oops!" Yang Lin suddenly woke up and shouted.
Shao Yifu is planning to break the wrist of a strong man! He would rather abandon the overlord contract that he relied on to rule the Hong Kong television industry, and also eliminate this crisis invisibly. In this way, wouldn't all your arrangements be in vain?
Thinking about it, Yang Lin finally sighed, and had to admire Shao Yifu's courage, saying that he would give up, and he would never drag mud and water, and he was worthy of being a tycoon who had been in Hong Kong for many years.
After thinking about it, Yang Lin picked up the phone again: "Now, immediately rush to Shao Yifu's office and sign Wu Zhenyu, Ouyang Zhenhua and Zhou Xingchi at any cost." Remember, no matter the cost, be sure to sign it! ”
When Wu Zhenyu and Ouyang Zhenhua heard Yang Lin's urgent order, they were both shocked and realized that something was wrong.
Yang Lin smiled helplessly: "Mr. Shao is scheming, we don't have a chance." I can't take care of the others, so I can only fish out the three of you, I'm sorry. ”
Wu Zhenyu and Ouyang Zhenhua glanced at each other, and they both saw each other's fear.
This secret plot and the use of the parade to put pressure on TVB can be said to have touched Shao Yifu's bottom line and openly challenged Shao Yifu's authority. It is conceivable that once they fail, they will be faced with Shao Yifu's thunderous revenge. The consequences are beyond their means.
For Yang Lin to fish them out "at any cost", the two of them were also grateful in their hearts.
The whole thing, although Yang Lin is in the middle, but in essence, it is still a means for them to actively fight for their own interests, and it has nothing to do with Yang Lin. At best, he knew Yang Lin's mind and was willingly used.
In order to fight for the interests they deserve, and Yang Lin for the interests of ATV, everyone takes what they need, and it is not said that they are in the same stream, let alone embarrassed.
At this time, even if Yang Lin patted his ass and left, no one would blame him.
Now this kind of behavior is a great favor.
Needless to say, Wu Zhenyu can be regarded as Yang Lin's sworn friend. Ouyang Zhenhua had to express his gratitude: "Thank you, Mr. Yang, I"
Yang Lin waved his hand and said with a wry smile: "Anyway, in this matter, I am using you." If you are struck, how can I bear it? Needless to say, thank me, just don't blame me. ”
Ouyang Zhenhua hurriedly said: "Don't say that, this is our own decision, and it has nothing to do with you." ”
Yang Lin smiled slightly, but sighed in his heart, what a good opportunity! (To be continued......)
