Chapter 240: Ratings Against the Sky

Wu Siyuan is definitely a well-known filmmaker in the Hong Kong film industry. As a director, he is a director with a unique personality, although he adheres to the concept of commercial films, but also has a literati temperament, forming a unique action aesthetic style, and also creating a precedent for news documentaries that are compatible with genre characteristics and literary temperament.

Tonight's party was initiated by him, the venue of the party was in his villa, the drinks were prepared, and the chef was invited from the hotel to make zuò snacks on the spot, and the invited directors were all well-known directors in the circle. Although the scene is not luxurious, it is better than warmth.

When Chen Ping'an arrived, there were already a lot of people here.

Xu Ke, Chu Yuan, Wu Yusen, Zhang Yijia, Chen Guanzhong, Wang Jing, Teddy Luo Bin, Jiang Dawei, Zhang Jianting, Lin Lingdong, Cen Jianxun, Zeng Zhiwei, Er Dongsheng, Hong Jinbao, etc., and even Cheng Long, who had just returned from Yugoslavia, rushed here.

Giving a hasty notice as soon as possible, but still being able to gather many well-known new and old directors in the film industry, is enough to prove Wu Siyuan's appeal in the Hong Kong film industry.

Seeing Zhang Min, many people were stunned for a moment.

Tonight's gathering has long shown that it is a gathering of directors in the circle, and Chen Ping'an actually brought Zhang Min, which puzzled many people. Even Zhang Min felt a little uncomfortable.

"Follow me, don't be too restrained." Chen Ping'an whispered, greeted others along the way, and walked in to see Wu Siyuan.

Wu Siyuan was chatting with Cheng Long, asking Cheng Long about his injury some time ago, and listening to Cheng Long tell about filming in Yugoslavia.

Seeing Chen Ping'an, Wu Siyuan took the initiative to stretch out his hand and shook hands with Chen Ping'an: "You're finally here, I'm still worried that you're too busy and don't have time tonight." ”

"Where, Director Wu called. No matter how busy you are, you have to come. Even Brother Long rushed back from Yugoslavia. ”

Wu Siyuan patted the back of Chen Ping'an's hand twice: "You young people talk first, I'll go say hello to a few old friends, and we'll talk in detail when everyone is together." ”

After Wu Siyuan left, Chen Ping'an and Cheng Long embraced, and Chen Ping'an sighed: "Brother Long." You really don't want to die when you're filming. You have to take care of your body, if something happens, it will be a huge loss for the Chinese! ”

"It's also to blame that I didn't pay attention at the time, so many dangerous scenes were fine before, alas......" Recalling his injury this time, Cheng Long still had palpitations.

Chen Ping'an put his arm around his shoulder: "Even if you don't think about yourself." I have to think about your female fans, too. Your non-marrying group is huge, hehe. ”

"You kid!" Cheng Long punched him in the shoulder and smiled at Zhang Min, "This is your 'Ann girl', right?" I heard it all when I was in Yugoslavia, you kid is fat enough! ”

Talking. He squeezed his eyes at Chen Ping'an, and when he turned to Zhang Min, he was already serious: "Hello, I'm Cheng Long." ”

Zhang Min was flattered: "I know, I'm your fan!" Hello Brother Long, I am very excited to meet you, I love watching your movies. ”

"Hear me, you fan. Brother Long, take care of it more when filming in the future. ”

"Yo. You can't eat it wrong, can you? Cheng Long teased, "Little girl, you are miserable this time." Your boss is mad at you. ”

"No, our boss is very generous, so he won't be angry." Zhang Min had calmed down at this time, and his words were normal, "And he is very good to me, and my favorite thing to watch is the boss's "Human and Ghost Love". ”

There are quite a few acquaintances tonight. Chu Yuan walked over with a smile: "What are you talking about so happy?" ”

After the liquidation of Shaw Brothers, he moved between film companies. With his previous achievements and fame, he is not worried that no film company will invite him to film. and Cheng Long and Chen Ping'an greeted loudly. Chen Ping'an introduced Zhang Min to him.

He said with a smile: "I know, I know, the famous 'Ann girl', now everyone in Hong Kong knows it." Your boss is not a mortal, I felt it when I first dealt with him. The person he has his eye on is definitely the big star of the future, and you have to seize the opportunity. Do you know how many people envy you! ”

Chu Yuan didn't mean to curry favor with Chen Ping'an, with his status, it was completely unnecessary, what he said was sincere.

Back then, Shaw Brothers produced and sold by itself, how could it cooperate with other film companies? For so many years, it was Chen Ping'an, and I somehow persuaded Fang Yihua, Dark Horse International and Shaw Brothers to cooperate with each other. Just rushing at this point, he thinks that Chen Ping'an is not simple.

"Director Chu exalts me too much, I'm just an ordinary person."

"Pull it down! Do you know how high the ratings were last night? ”

Chu Yuan is the old man of the Shaw Brothers, although the Shaw Brothers is liquidated, he has many friends in the middle and high-level of wireless, and when he had dinner with his friends at noon today, he heard about the ratings of last night's awards ceremony, which was amazingly high!

At last night's awards ceremony, the first high point of ratings appeared when Anita Mui and Zhang Guorong sang "Fanghua Peerless", reaching 51% of the ratings. This is also because the awards ceremony has just begun, and many viewers don't care about changing the stage late.

After the singing of "Fanghua Peerless", the ratings began to decline, even falling below 30%. At the beginning of the process of awarding the Excellence Award, there were not many interested audiences. However, there are many audiences who like the live singing sessions interspersed with singers, which leads to the fact that the ratings cannot be stable in a fixed range for a long period of time, and they fluctuate greatly.

The audience in front of the TV was actually a little unhappy, and many viewers liked to watch the singers sing, but had little interest in the award ceremony. The consequence of changing the channel back and forth is that the beginning of the singer's performance on stage is often missed.

With Wong Ka Wai's "Mong Kok Carmen" winning the second prize, the host announced that Dark Horse International would fund the film, and it would be directed by the winner Wong Ka Wai himself, and more and more audiences became interested in the award ceremony.

In particular, Wang Jing, who was then hyped as the special prize of the internal determination, only won the second prize, and now the audience in front of the TV is even more interested, and they want to know who will win the first prize of 500,000 yuan and the special prize of 1 million.

As a result, many viewers simply stopped changing the channel, waiting for the mystery to be revealed, and while still enjoying the songs brought by the singers, the ratings have always maintained more than 40 points.

When Luo Dayou and Li Zongsheng sang on stage, the ratings approached 60 points, and when Chen Ping'an was "squeezed" by Anita Mui and sang a new song on the spot, the ratings finally broke through the 60-point mark. Immediately afterwards, Chen Ping'an announced the winner of the grand prize, and the ratings reached a new high, reaching 66 points, which can be against the sky.

After the results of last night's ratings survey came out, ATV cried, wireless laughed from ear to ear, and wireless admired Fang Yihua for buying the live broadcast right at a price of 500,000, but Fang Yihua was not very happy.

It is said that this morning, Fang Yihua called Mei Yanfang to the office, and the two talked for nearly an hour. What outsiders talked about is unknown, but Mei Yanfang's face was not good-looking after she came out, and Fang Yihua didn't eat at noon, so there were many speculations.

Chu Yuan is an old man of the Shaw Family, and he has dealt with Fang Yihua a lot. Although I don't know what Fang Mei and the two talked about, it is mostly related to Chen Ping'an's joking poaching of Mei Yanfang last night. However, with Fang Yihua's strength and Anita Mui's character, it must not be very pleasant.

Zhang Min looked worried: "This matter won't be related to the boss, right?" ”

Chu Yuan said with a smile: "What kind of identity is your boss, it is not the time when the Shaw Brothers Cinema Line was controlled. No matter how dissatisfied Fang Yihua was in his heart, he couldn't help him. At most, in terms of advertising for new dramas in the future, I will use high prices to card you. ”

"She can't get stuck. Next year's advertising contract has been signed, and the deposit is a lot of money, unless she intends to return the deposit double. ”

Cheng Long and Chu Yuan looked at each other in amazement, and the latter sighed, "You wouldn't have thought of today a long time ago, would you?" ”

Cheng Long thought long-term: "A'an, you don't need to be so stiff with her. The contract will be signed next year, but what about the year after? I heard that she is not a good person to deal with, be careful that she will card you in the next year. ”

"The year after? Let's talk about the year after tomorrow. Director Chu, is there any other news? ”

Chu Yuan hesitated for a moment and lowered his voice: "I heard that Zhang Guorong plans to jump to Dark Horse Records, is it true?" ”

"He and Brother Dayou had a good conversation last night, it's not impossible. Where did Director Chu hear about it? ”

Chu Yuan naturally heard it from a friend. If Fang Yihua and Mei Yanfang talked unhappily, then it was a bit tense with Zhang Guorong.

Zhang Guorong's contract with Huaxing Records expires tomorrow and summer, Zhang Guorong has not renewed the contract for a long time, and faced the renewal of the contract as soon as possible, and even directly sued Huaxing Records that he is ready to join Dark Horse International, and there is no need to talk about the renewal of the contract.

Huaxing Records, a subsidiary of TVB, was a dominator in Hong Kong in the 70s and 80s, with dozens of singers at its peak, and many superstars on a par with PolyGram.

Although Luo Dayou's Dark Horse Records has made great progress for more than a year, there is still a certain gap with record companies such as Huaxing, Polygram, and EMI. I don't want Li Zongsheng to develop so smoothly in Taiwan, after two years, Taiwan's Dark Horse Records has become one of the first-tier companies in Taiwan's music scene, with many excellent singers. Even Jackie Chan is ready to sign his record with Huaxing.

This is not a big stimulus for Luo Dayou, so he will be "angry" about Chen Ping'an for sending Wang Jie to Taiwan, and "squeeze" Chen Ping'an to write songs for Ye Qianwen.

Chen Ping'an paved the way for the signing of Zhang Guorong and Anita Mui, and he naturally knew what he should do. Last night, he talked to Zhang Guorong about seventy-seven-eighty-eight, and he only waited for Zhang Guorong's contract to expire next year and then passed the dark horse record.

Zhang Guorong and Anita Mui are the two signature singers of Huaxing Records, Fang Yihua, who regards wireless as his own, naturally does not look at Xinhuaxing's top brand being dug up, so he talked with Anita Mui and Zhang Guorong respectively this morning.

Zhang Minhe likes to listen to Zhang Guorong's song: "Isn't my brother going to be hidden in the snow?" ”

"No, it won't." Chu Yuan shook his head. Since Zhang Guorong's job hopping is inevitable, Fang Yihua naturally wants to use the last opportunity to squeeze the surplus value, and he will not hide it, "But I'm afraid it will be difficult for him to play wireless songs again in the future." ”

"There must be a road before the car reaches the mountain. Since my brother believes in us, we naturally can't let him come, and his development is not as good as Huaxing. Chen Ping'an's tone gave people a sense of confidence, "Brother Long, why don't you also sign the record to our Dark Horse Records?" (To be continued) R580
