Chapter 482. TV series Emperor

readx;

With the substantial increase in Chen Xiaotang's popularity, the ratings of the two dramas "Goodbye Huangpu Beach" and "Huangpu Love" have become more popular. Pen | fun | pavilion www. biquge。 infoHowever, due to the fact that the time of these two dramas is not too sufficient, many viewers who want to watch the two dramas are full of complaints, and the complaint letters have reached more than 300 within 24 hours, all of which require the TV station to adjust the schedules of the two dramas, so that the audience can watch all the two dramas successively.

No one expected the audience's reaction to be so great that many executives of TVB had to hold an impromptu meeting to discuss the adjustment of the program's broadcast schedule.

March 25, 1984.

After a series of adjustments by the TV station, the heroic dramas "Goodbye Huangpu Beach" and "Huangpu Love", which were broadcast simultaneously on the wireless Jade Channel and Pearl Channel, were arranged to be broadcast at 8 o'clock and 10 o'clock in the evening respectively, calculated according to the 45 minutes of an episode, and then counting the advertising time, which is just enough for the audience to watch all the two dramas.

This kind of adjustment has made many people satisfied, and those complaints have not decreased, on the contrary, they have become more and more, but this time everyone is no longer complaining about how the TV station is, but complaining about the bad guys being too bad, how not to make the actor stronger and other topics.

These topics make the TV station cry and laugh, friends, this is acting, don't take it too seriously?!

It's a pity that the audience has already substituted themselves into the play, and how many of them can listen to it?!

What's more, a banner was pulled up on the TV station, capitalizing "We support Chen Xiaotang to dominate Shanghai Beach!" "The ratings are strong--- Chen Xiaotang is a well-deserved TV drama emperor!"

TV series emperor?!

One stone stirs up a thousand waves!

Since the establishment of the TV station in Hong Kong ~ Hong Kong, no actor has ever been recognized as the "emperor of TV dramas"!

What does that mean?

Emperor, the emperor of the TV kingdom!

Wouldn't that be able to control everything and control the joys and sorrows of the audience?!

In the face of this sudden appeal from the audience, Hong Kong ~ Hong Kong and other media have successively given reports.

Hong Kong ~ Hong Kong "TV Weekly": There has never been a voice, many viewers took the initiative to give the laughing ---- Chen Xiaotang the king!

Hong Kong ~ Hong Kong "Entertainment New Era": The birth of the emperor of the TV industry! The double ratings are hot. Even the title of emperor is well deserved!

Hong Kong ~ Hong Kong "New Times Weekly": The TV series emperor is coming! Chen Xiaotang was officially recognized by the audience. Become the Ratings Emperor!

……

With the hype of many media, Chen Xiaotang is a super kung fu star, a TV series emperor and so on. All kinds of titles are overwhelming, so that his popularity in the media once surpassed that of the dear Hong Kong Governor and the super-rich Li Jiacheng. It has become the focus of attention of many media and audiences.

So much so that some people say that Chen Xiaotang used his personal energy to write a new popularity myth!

Looking back, it is said that the two major dramas of TVB were broadcast in turn, which made ATV anxious. originally had good ratings in the kung fu drama "Huo Dongge", especially the starring Qian Xiaohao was knocked out in the martial arts hall, which affected his popularity, so that the ratings did not rise but fell. Now it has slipped to more than a dozen points, which makes ATV's president Qiu Degen angry.

To this end, as the leader of ATV TV Company. Chairman Qiu Degen had to temporarily transfer troops. Make countermeasures.

"Amin, we have already lost half of this tough battle. As long as we can't persevere, wireless will attack in an all-out way, whether it's eight o'clock or ten o'clock, we can only eat ginkgo seeds! So we have to fight back, and we have to fight back big, play our momentum, and let people know that our ATV is not weak! ”

Of course, the one who is so valued by Qiu Degen is the current ATV's general Xu Xiaoming, I saw him groan for a while, and said: "Boss, now that the trend of wireless TV dramas is booming, we don't need to confront them head-on, after all, any drama has a high ~ tide and low tide, and we will only lose worse if we attack rashly now, it is better to strategize and win a thousand miles!" ”

"Oh, what do you have a good plan for that?" Qiu Degen said with interest.

Xu Xiaoming thought for a while and said: "The reason why the two wireless dramas can become so popular today is because the script itself is good and attractive, after all, the path of "Shanghai Tang" is still very nostalgic for many audiences; On the other hand, the main reason is Chen Xiaotang's strong appeal, and we all underestimate his super popularity as a star. But overall, these two dramas are almost at the end, even if we get stuck in their necks, it will not help, it is better to take a long-term view, start filming a new drama, and compete with them for the ratings championship of the next stop! ”

Xu Xiaoming's words made Qiu Degen and the others present nod frequently.

"So what do you have a good idea?" Qiu Degen asked.

Xu Xiaoming already had an answer, and said: "I have investigated, the popular types of TV dramas are relatively retro now, for example, the "Huo Dongge" we filmed was created on the basis of "Huo Yuanjia" and "Chen Zhen", and the wireless "Goodbye Huangpu Beach" and "Huangpu Love" were also produced on the basis of their "Shanghai Tang"; Therefore, there is nothing new to go down such an old road, it is better to think of some more novel ideas and win by surprise! ”

"Okay, Amin, if you have any ideas, just say it, don't hang our appetite anymore!" Qiu Degen said with a smile.

Xu Xiaoming took out a set of scripts and said: "This is my new script, called "Eight Immortals Across the Sea"!" The content tells some interesting stories of the legendary Eight Immortals before they became immortals, which is also mixed with a lot of folklore, such as Lu Dongbin's three plays of white peony, Zhang Guolao riding a donkey upside down, and the eight immortals vs. the third prince of the dragon king...... I studied the script carefully, the plot is intense and the characters are vivid, if we can make it, it must be a good production! ”

"Filming "Eight Immortals Across the Sea"?" Qiu Degen looked at the others.

As one of the three heroes of ATV, Tu Yongxiong said: "This is a good idea, as the saying goes, ordinary is not as good as classics, and classics are not as good as legends!" ”

Xu Xiaoming nodded: "That's right, in the final analysis, we want to make the audience interested in our play!" Doing the drama that the audience likes to see is the real good drama! ”

"However, filming this kind of fairy-themed TV series seems to require a lot of investment. And the story of the Eight Immortals crossing the sea is almost known to everyone. It doesn't seem appropriate to shoot locally in Hong Kong...... That's a lot of money! Tu Yongxiong stopped talking, but glanced at Qiu Degen, the big boss who had been listening silently, with his eyes.

You must know that since Qiu Degen took the helm of Asia. See. The principles of innovation, frugality and quality improvement are adopted in the dramas, so some of the dramas in the past two years have been booming, while others have been uneven. In addition, because Qiu Degen has shares in Songcheng, Songcheng can be used as a costume film venue for filming, so it is easier for him to raise and save. In addition, in order to improve the quality, film and television actors who are not contracted by ATV were specially invited to participate in the series, and last year, in order to shoot "Joking Cixi" and "Qin Shi Huang", he went north to the mainland of China ~ China many times to take locations, which can be said to be a very reformed leader. The only deficiency is that the big things are bold, but the small things are too "saving"!

As one of the three heroes of ATV, Li Zhaoxiong, the publicity director, knew the meaning of his old friend Tu Yongxiong, so he deliberately coughed twice and said: "Boss, what do you think of this suggestion from Amin? ”

Qiu Degen touched his chin and didn't reply directly. Answer, but asked rhetorically: "What do you think?" ”

"I think?" Li Zhaoxiong paused, "I think this suggestion is promising." After all, what the citizens love is what they like to see, and what they like is good! We can shoot the story of "Eight Immortals Across the Sea" into a TV series, and there will definitely be good ratings. When the time comes, in addition to the money invested. Maybe you can even make a lot of money and silver! ”

"Hehe, that's an idealized idea. There are many variables in reality, after all, most people know the legend of "Eight Immortals Across the Sea", and it seems that there is a lack of some novelty. What's more, TVB has done a program of "Folklore", which will also have an impact on our drama...... Therefore, it increases the investment risk of this drama, I am a businessman, and I think it is better to do things safely, so Amin's proposal still needs to be discussed again. ”

One sentence is tantamount to rejecting this rare idea. It's no wonder that Qiu Degen will be like this, if he was just in charge of ATV, maybe he would approve this idea with high spirits, but since being defeated by TVB's program several times in a row, Qiu Degen's fighting spirit has become a little numb, although he is still losing repeatedly, but he is no longer the previous bold spirit of forging ahead and creating a new situation for ATV.

Xu Xiaoming and the others also felt this change, and for them, they did not blame the boss's depression, but blamed themselves for being useless, so that they lost in the hands of wireless one after another.

Xu Xiaoming smiled and said: "Boss, you are thinking about it reasonably, but whether it is movies or television, they are all things of mass entertainment, and they are all the same in principle...... Since Jin Yong Gulong and many famous martial arts novels can be adapted into high-grossing movies, why can't the long-standing folklore be adapted into high-rated TV series?! ”

This sentence can be regarded as asking Qiu Degen, yes, like Jin Yong's novel, it is no longer new, but it is still accepted by the audience, and now I don't even have the courage to shoot a big drama? ! Are you still the business tycoon who used to be high-spirited?!

Now that you have taken over ATV, you can't bow your head and admit defeat!

This is not my Qiu Degen's character, and it is not the situation that ATV should face!

ATV, proud of Asia, dominates TV!

This is my purpose and my wish!

Thinking of this, Qiu Degen took a deep breath, looked at Xu Xiaoming with deep eyes and said, "Ah Ming, are you sure that you can shoot this drama well?" ”

Xu Xiaoming replied without hesitation: "Yes, absolutely!" ”

"Good!" Qiu Degen took the case. "In that case, I'll leave the plan for this play to you! Remember, you are in charge of the production of this play, whether it is at work or in the life of the artist, you must pay more attention to the new play "Eight Immortals Across the Sea" not only to be filmed well, but also to be filmed! , and the food of each actor, I have to see meat at once, and I must do a good job in their ideological work, so that they have no worries. ”

This time Qiu Degen is out of the way, whether he can save face has become his biggest heart problem, since he promised to shoot, he simply did everything to the best, if he wants the horse to run, he must feed more grass!

"Okay, boss, I'll do it." Xu Xiaoming has always been capable of doing things, and even his speech is very concise.

Qiu Degen nodded very reassuringly. He valued this hard-working young man very much. That's why I gave him the responsibility of taking the lead with wireless this time. His deep gaze moved away from Xu Xiaoming and focused on the other two people, who were Li Zhaoxiong, the publicity director. There is also the financial director Tu Yong Xiong.

Tu Yongxiong and Li Zhaoxiong are both from performing arts families, among which Tu Yongxiong's father Tu Meiqing makes movies and produces films in Shanghai. Jiefang went south, contributed a lot to Hong Kong movies, and is now the production director of Golden Harvest Company. And Li Zhaoxiong's father Li Tie is a big director of Cantonese films, his works include "The Story of the Purple Hairpin", his wife Li Yueqing is a famous actor, and his wife Wang Xinwei is also the TV producer of ATV. It can be seen from this that these two people are definitely great talents in TV stations. In the end, Qiu Degen spent a lot of money to hire them back.

At this time, looking at the two generals in front of him, Qiu Degen said: "I won't say anything else, in short, we can only win and not lose this battle." And I've already decided. In order to expand our appeal at 8 o'clock, I am going to hold a walking ceremony for the main creators of "Eight Immortals Across the Sea" in the New Territories next week. What do you think about this? ”

Li Zhaoxiong, who is quite tiger-like, said confidently: "This matter has been planned by Xiao Mingzhi and I, next weekend, our ATV will form a huge walking team in the Tsuen Wan area to start publicity, and I will lead its male and female artists Pan Zhiwen, Zeng Weiquan, Wang Wei, Jiang Han, Ruan Peizhen, etc. to march together for this play, the slogan of the parade is called 'Eight Immortals Crossing the Sea and Quacking, Immortals Cultivating to Subdue Demons', in order to fit this theme, I will arrange a Cantonese opera 'Eight Immortals Descend Demons' section." In addition, in order to further strengthen the publicity of this walk, I am going to let several big-name artists of ATV come forward to do some short singing and dancing performances, combining culture and martial arts with edutainment, as for the names of the participating performers, I have already determined, which mainly includes Chen Xiuwen, Zheng Wenya, Wan Ziliang and Pan Zhiwen. Needless to say, the two female artists, except for Michelle behind the scenes, the two of them can still afford a big scene. In terms of male artists, Wan Ziliang starred in "Fuhu Golden Knife" and "Ranger Zhang Sanfeng" are very popular, and Pan Zhiwen's Chu Liuxiang played in "Rogue Romance" is not as chic as Zheng Shaoqiu, but it is also deeply rooted in the hearts of the people, plus his wonderful performance in "Zhuhai Heroes" last year is now very popular, with these two masculine actors sitting in this parade, I think it will be able to break into the theme of hot-blooded men even more, so as to achieve twice the result with half the effort. The above is my publicity plan, and I hope you can support me. After nodding his head, "That's basically it, do you have any suggestions or additions?" ”

Tu Yongxiong, who was sitting next to him, smiled slightly, and then added: "I can adjust the schedules of the artists you just mentioned, and I can't miss the time of your parade...... As for the need to open up the joints before the street demonstration, after all, so many people need government approval to march and publicize. ”

Tu Yongxiong: "Please rest assured, I am very familiar with the police station in the New Territories, and I have dealt with it when I was filming before, so it should be no problem." ”

The butcher bear was not yet forty years old, but it was not known whether it was due to his overwork, or because he was born old, and his forehead was covered with wrinkles, which made him look much older than his actual age, and the thick black-rimmed glasses made him look even more age-premature. However, his job at ATV is very competent.

Qiu Degen laughed and said: "I can't imagine that everything has been planned, with you who are willing to worry about the company's pillars, why worry about our ATV not being strong?!" After saying this, he sighed again and said: "It's just a pity that our TV station lacks excellent artists, if we can produce a big star like Chen Xiaotang, why worry about the lack of popularity on our side?!" ”

Qiu Degen's words are on point in the hearts of everyone, yes, ATV does lack a good actor like Chen Xiaotang, look at this time, one Chen Xiaotang will defeat the entire ATV!

This person is really a talent, screenwriter, acting, lyricist, singing, directing, and producer are almost proficient in everything!

How long has it been since there has been such a genius in the entertainment industry? Even Huang Baiming, the new art city known as the "holy hand of screenwriters", and Ni Kuang, who is the "king of the bridge king", may not have Chen Xiaotang's skills!

"Ah Ming, I don't know if that Chen Xiaotang can win it over?" Qiu Degen asked suddenly.

Xu Xiaoming shook his head: "I contacted him in the last nightclub incident, and he said that he had signed a contract with the company, and he couldn't come to ATV for the time being!" ”

Qiu Degen took out a handkerchief, gently wiped his forehead, and said with a smile: "There will be no absolute thing in this world, but I am very willing to meet this legendary TV drama emperor!" ”

……

The newly established headquarters of Magic Shadow Entertainment in Hong Kong.

As a big boss, Chen Xiaotang came to inspect for the first time.

Poor thing. Poor staff!

In addition to the fat man, Wang Jing is Li Lizhi. Then there is a female secretary who has been on the job for less than a month, and is said to have no brains, nicknamed "Ye Meili". In addition to these three basic employees, there are also some new employees who have been recruited. There are three screenwriters and one scene reporter, but as for the director and producer with the big title, they didn't recruit one. The reason is that the company is too small and not yet famous!

Chen Xiaotang is sad.

I thought it would be easy to open an entertainment company in Hong Kong, but who knows...... His uncle, the company hasn't officially opened yet, so it's so "popular"?! No wonder in his previous life, Liu Dehua opened the canopy, and the more he opened, the more he lost!

It looks like I'm going to help my company do publicity.,It's been hidden like this.,Who knows what kind of restaurant this is.。

In fact, if Chen Xiaotang is willing to stand up and tell the big guy in front of the media that he has opened an entertainment company called "Magic Shadow Entertainment", then his company will definitely be on the front page the next day. Be the center of everyone's attention.

To put it bluntly, mixing the entertainment industry is mixing an exposure rate, and the same is true for film companies, don't you see Golden Harvest and New Arts City constantly shouting like vendors in the vegetable market? Why did Shore Brothers cut production? It's because the level of shouting is not enough!

I want to think that the Shaw Brothers movies will be one after another. I can't shout loudly if I don't want to. That's why it's so popular. What now. The production of movies is reduced, and it is not possible to spend a lot of money. If you engage in propaganda and shouting, this will be so weak.

At this moment, Chen Xiaotang sat in the empty office, thinking about whether to put a pot of feng shui fish in the place of the floor-to-ceiling window, hang a large oil painting of Napoleon on the wall on the left side of the prancing horse, and place a bookshelf of Huanghuali on the right side of the wall.

Shaking his head violently, Chen Xiaotang tapped his head and said to himself: "Chen Xiaotang, Chen Xiaotang, when did you become so vassal?" Even if the Mona Lisa is thrown in front of you, you probably won't be able to appreciate it! Forget it, saving some money and filming is the right way! ”

Just when Chen Xiaotang was knocking on his head, the female secretary named "Ye Meili" knocked lightly on the door and came in. She is as her name suggests, she looks really beautiful, not only beautiful, but also a sin, Danfeng eyes, melon seed face, Yuqiong small nose, cherry mouth...... Wearing a professional suit, black lace stockings, wrapping her legs in it, she looks particularly slender, and the most important thing is that her chest is very magnificent, especially when she comes in with coffee, it is even more turbulent and reverie.

At this moment, Chen Xiaotang was a little reverie, because he suddenly remembered the "nurse-level" female secretary at the beginning of Feng Xiaogang's "If You Are Honest, Do Not Disturb" in his previous life...... It seems that many women are good cow breeds, and this breed is often the favorite of unweaned men! For example, Wang Fatzi and Li Lizhi are two bastards!

But immediately, Chen Xiaotang shifted his gaze from the other party's proud chest to the other party's delicate face...... Chen Xiaotang felt that his willpower was firm enough, but when he saw the other party's face, Chen Xiaotang was still shocked, because the other party's appearance was too much like the future third-level wave ~ Ba Ye Zimei!!

Ye Beautiful? Ye Zimei?!

Although Chen Xiaotang has reached the supreme appreciation realm of "there is a code in his eyes, but there is no code in his heart", he still secretly went to the video hall to spend a dollar to watch the third~level films of Hong Kong and Taiwan ~ Bay when he was a teenager. It was in that harsh environment mixed with the smell of feet, sweat, and stinky farts that he unswervingly watched a full set of three~level films of master female stars such as Ye Zimei, Li Lizhen, and Ye Yuqing! Therefore, it can be said that he is more familiar with a female star like Ye Zimei than the female teacher who taught him Mandarin!

At this moment, when I saw the beauty in front of me, the same Mimi was proud, and the same facial features were pretty, could it be said that I had inadvertently picked up the treasure? !
