689 Honggu didn't know about her debut
Teresa Teng's live broadcast of a concert made the entire Hong Kong TV circle feel extremely uneasy and panicked. 【Reading.com】
For a time, the two major TV dynasties of Lidi and TVB held high-level meetings to discuss how to deal with Wang Xiaohu's high-profile entry into the TV circle.
If they don't panic, they can't, Phoenix TV's "Chuangfang" won 85% of the ratings in Hong Kong, and such a high rating directly made peers embarrassed.
Under the leadership of Wang Xiaohu, Concord basically ruled the entire Hong Kong film industry, and even her husband's Shaw brothers were forced to retreat from the huge pressure of Concord and chose to semi-retire to avoid its edge.
After Wang Xiaohu unifies the Hong Kong film industry openly or implicitly, he continues to expand the mainland film market, which could have made Fang Yihua feel at ease, but last night's concert once again made her scared.
That's 85% of the ratings, even in the heyday of TVB, the highest rating was only 60%, and it was also based on Wang Xiaohu's "Jingwumen" and "Shanghai Tang" to set records, as the real mother of TVB, Fang Yihua knows too much about Wang Xiaohu's horror!
Even if Run Run Shaw told Fang Yihua that night: Wang Xiaohu has no intention of developing in TV dramas, and only develops on two channels, music and movie channels, Fang Yihua always feels very insecure.
So after the live broadcast of Teresa Teng's concert, Fang Yihua notified the TVB executives to hold a meeting at 9 o'clock tomorrow morning, but Zheng Shaoqiu and Wang Mingquan were half a minute late, and when they walked into the conference room, there was still talk and laughter, how can you let the six aunts not be angry, and the six aunts were furious and scolded the two of them.
At this point, everyone can see that the sixth aunt is very angry today, and they all obediently listen to the training with their tails between their legs, and they don't dare to take a breath in the air, lest they become the sixth aunt's punching bag.
After letting go of the anger, Fang Yihua issued an order with a cold face: "Phoenix TV will rebroadcast Teresa Teng's concert this afternoon, everyone must watch it, absorb the strengths of Phoenix TV, and everyone must write a summary and send it over." ”
Everyone nodded busily, this task is still relatively easy to complete, after all, TVB can maintain its current scale, not only through self-creation in terms of programs, but also to learn the strengths of Li's TV station, only by fully understanding the advantages of the enemy, can we learn from each other's strengths.
"There are still two live broadcasts of concerts, I don't care what method you use, in short, I want to ensure that the ratings of our TVB cannot be reduced!"
Everyone shuddered when they heard this, how can they guarantee it? Who can guarantee it? How to guarantee it?
Not to mention anything else, a program as strong as TVB's veteran variety show "Happy Tonight" only accounts for 7% of the ratings, and the rest is supported by Zheng Shaoqiu's several TV series and a group of young students who have just been trained.
Wang Xiaohu and Long Zichen joined forces and snatched 85% of the ratings at once, this kind of powerful technique is something that outsiders can't learn if they want to.
What, you said that you also invited singers to hold live concerts to steal business?
Please, in the entire Hong Kong singing industry now, who is more popular than Teresa Teng?
Maybe, such as Lin Zixiang, Xu Guanjie, Zhen Ni, etc., but who can be as willing to spend money as Wang Xiaohu and Long Zichen? I heard that the two of them smashed in 10 million Hong Kong dollars just for investment, 10 million Hong Kong dollars, it is definitely not TVB, which is used to being a small family, to take out its hand, and the high-level executives present believe that the old enemy will not use this stupid method.
Everyone stared at each other for a long time, their faces were full of expressions of difficulty, incompleteness, and impossibility, seeing that Fang Yihua was about to burst into flames, someone spoke: "Fang Dong, in fact, their Phoenix is only live broadcast for three nights, after these three nights, they will not occupy such high ratings, I don't think we need to pay attention to it at all." ”
This man said what everyone wanted to say in their hearts, so that everyone praised his courage, who knew that Fang Yihua snorted coldly, pointed at that person and said, "You, get out now, you won't have to go to work again!" ”
"Hiss~~~"
There was a clear and audible inhalation sound in the conference room, and the boss with everyone's eyes staring at the person who made Fang Laohu angry left, everyone didn't want to help intercede, after all, they were all old people, and he was talking reasonably.
A few people secretly shook their heads and sighed in their hearts, it seemed that they were going to communicate with Uncle Shao Liu.
"Fang Dong, didn't Wang Xiaohu sing "Shanghai Tang" last night, I think the audience must want to relive the side, why don't we arrange a replay from tomorrow, two episodes a day simulcast, which should increase the ratings." There is another speech that is not afraid of death.
Fang Yihua frowned and pondered for a moment, "It's feasible, you can go back and be responsible for this matter." ”
Both major TV stations are doing the same thing, and the initiator, Wang Xiaohu, is in the Concord editing room to check the picture and sound quality of the experimental version of "Mulan" again, and whether the film has goofs.
After all, it is the first time to participate in the Cannes Film Festival, and a commercial director like Wang Xiaohu does not have much research on art films.
However, he knows that filmmakers in Chinese mainland and Hong Kong are very close to Cannes, and in 1964, Chinese director Tang Cheng won the Honorable Mention at the 4th Cannes Film Festival with an ink cartoon "Little Tadpole Looking for Mother", and then in 1975, Shaw Brothers produced and Hu Jinquan's "Chivalrous Girl" won the Cannes Technical Award, becoming the first Chinese-language film to win Cannes.
After Wang Xiaohu was reborn, he directed more than ten films such as "Jingwumen", "Righteous Hero", "Ip Man", "Enter the Dragon", "Journey of Courage", "Rocky", "Home Alone", "Ah Hu", "Ah Lang's Story", "Hong Xiguan", "Mythology", "Shaolin Temple" and other more than ten films, it seems that except for "Rocky" in the Oscars, other films have not participated in promotional activities such as film festivals, if it were not for Winterdur's forced registration for "Mulan", he would definitely not participate in the Cannes Film Festival.
Maybe it's because Wang Xiaohu won the first award and took away the four little golden figures, maybe he doesn't have much concept of the trophy in his heart, in short, now he finally begins to realize that making movies is not only for box office revenue, but also to participate in major film festivals and award ceremonies, only in this way can he better play a role in promoting Chinese oriental culture.
As for the Oscars, Wang Xiaohu only has a wry smile, he is a circle of money in the United States, and he wants him to spend a lot of money on what Oscar statuette, unless he has a funny head, he will not do such a stupid thing.
On May 1, 1982, Concord Film Production Company invested, and Huang Baiming's "The Wrong Car" began to be released in Chinese mainland, and the film was released in mainland China at the same time as "North and South Shaolin", which almost died in the Shaw Brothers.
Two movies of different styles have set off another round of empty alleys craze in the mainland, "North and South Shaolin" needless to say, after all, it was the original "Shaolin Temple" staged by people, and the degree of attention is naturally extraordinary, and "The Wrong Car" has earned hundreds of millions of tears.
Before leaving Hong Kong for Paris, Wang Xiaohu had to learn about the company's internal situation.
After more than a year of continuous enrichment, Jackie Chan finally found a development route with Sammo Hung and Yuan Biao, and this year they will join forces to create two movies, namely "Five Lucky Stars" and "Plan A".
In the list of actors of "Five Lucky Stars", Wang Xiaohu unexpectedly found a familiar name: Zhong Chuhong.
"Hey, Honggu made her debut?" Wang Xiaohu asked Sammo Hung.
"yes!" Sammo Hung nodded and said: "It's been almost three years since I debuted, I have filmed "Blue Water and Cold Mountain Killing Gold" directed by Johnny To, and I also starred in "Scary", and I just finished filming "Difficult Brothers" starring Shi Tian, and now Honggu is very popular!" The new director Wang Jing on the sixth uncle's side wants to rob her to shoot "Flowers", if I hadn't signed the contract early, maybe Wang Jing's little fat man would have succeeded! ”
"Oh." Wang Xiaohu patted his forehead, feeling that he usually only pays attention to the actors and actresses, and even the debut of Honggu, who is known as the "Top Ten Goddesses with Surnames" in Hong Kong and Taiwan, is unaware, tragedy, tragedy.
After telling Sammo Hung and Jackie Chan to make films with their hearts, Wang Xiaohu met Huang Baiming in the office again.
"Ah Ming, don't mix with Mai Jia and Shi Tian for the time being, focus on literary films, complete the post-production of "Mom Loves Me Again" as soon as possible, and go to the screenwriting department to get a script for a TV series called "The Star Knows My Heart", which will be OK after filming this year."
Huang Baiming is naturally the first to look forward to the master, in the entire new art city company, he is the second largest shareholder in addition to Mai Jia, Mai Jia, Shi Tian together with Zeng Zhiwei, Tsui Hark, Teddy Robin take the commercial route, he temporarily took the literary route, not only to broaden the scope of the development of the new art city, but also to make the new art city leave a good reputation in the literary and artistic film industry.
Wang Xiaohu's arrangement was not temporary, because he knew that Huang Baiming's ability to control literary films was much better than that of Mai Jia and Shi Tian, not to mention anything else, Zheng Zeshi's "Why Have Me" alone set a good box office and word of mouth.
Moreover, the TV series "The Star Knows My Heart" hit a high rating in China that year, and at present, "Huo Yuanjia" has been prepared to be broadcast on local TV stations in Guangdong, Shanghai, Yanjing, Shandong and other places, Wang Xiaohu does not want to give up this tear-jerking TV series. (I think back then, when Xiaomi was young, he often went to the neighbor's house to watch "The Star Knows My Heart", and the one who cried was so noisy.) )
Now Li's and TVB are not rumored to be entering the Hong Kong TV drama circle, Wang Xiaohu can be regarded as calming the hearts of the two major TV dynasties, lest they have trouble sleeping.
