Chapter 88: Wireless Strikes Back

After experiencing a blowout rise in the first few days, the ratings of "Chu Liuxiang" finally began to "cool down" a little, but the broadcast time still firmly dominates the TV screens of most Hong Kong families, and the average ratings can basically be maintained at more than 65%.

As a competitor, wireless can be said to have been under tremendous pressure during this time.

On the third day of the broadcast of "Chu Liuxiang", Shao Yifu convened a meeting of all the middle and senior management of the company, and there was only one topic - how to snatch the audience back from ATV!

"I said that wireless has now reached a critical juncture of life and death, and everyone here may not agree, but there is no doubt that this ATV broadcast "Chu Liuxiang" is the biggest challenge encountered since the establishment of wireless, whether you can survive this crisis, not only related to the future development of wireless, but also related to your vital interests, so as long as everyone thinks it is useful, you can now put it forward directly, speak freely, and there is no need to have any scruples!"

Shao Yifu's opening speech set the tone for the whole meeting, and then Fang Yihua added: "I want to remind you that if you want to talk about digging people like this, then you can do it, because whether it is Lin Xi, the director of this drama, or Cheng Xiaodong, the martial arts instructor, it is impossible for ATV to let them jump ship and leave." ”

As soon as these words came out, people who had similar thoughts before all dismissed the idea of speaking.

However, there are also those who disagree with Fang Yihua's view.

"Miss Fang, we don't necessarily just focus on Lin Xi and Cheng Xiaodong, we can also consider the staff of the crew of "Chu Liuxiang", these people have experienced the filming of the entire TV series, what is there in it that should not be hidden from their eyes, recruiting these people, not to mention that it will definitely play a big role, at least it can also provide us with some reference for the success of imitating that drama." An executive spoke.

Fang Yihua retorted quietly: "If we can succeed in digging up a few people underneath, then why did we fail to poach Cheng Xiaodong's assistant last time?" ”

The executive was speechless.

Seeing the silence in the conference room, the disappointed expression in Shao Yifu's eyes flashed, and his cold gaze slowly swept over everyone's faces, and finally landed on a middle-aged man with a somewhat fat figure in the second row on the right.

"Tianlin, you are the best at filming martial arts dramas, what do you think about this?"

Named by Shao Yifu, this fat man's name is Wang Tianlin, who used to be the director of Shaw Brothers, and later followed Shao Yifu to the TV field, famous for shooting martial arts dramas, and is one of the few gold medal TV series producers with transcendent status in wireless.

Wang Tianlin also has a son named Wang Jing, who is also working as a screenwriter in wireless, and his future is very promising.

Whether it is out of consideration for his son's future, or because Shao Yifu values himself, Wang Tianlin must have a statement on this matter.

"Huang Zhan wrote a comment on the second day of the broadcast of "Chu Liuxiang", I don't know if you here have read it, although that article has the intention of helping "Chu Liuxiang" promote and build momentum, but I think some of Huang Zhan's words still make sense, for example, he said that although the success of "Chu Liuxiang" is difficult to be replicated by later TV series, there are many things that can be learned, such as the innovation of action design in this TV series."

Wang Tianlin deliberately paused when he said this, and saw that no one refuted his words, so he continued: "In fact, from the perspective of shooting, some of the shooting techniques used in "Chu Liuxiang" are very simple, just like the use of Weiya, a technology that has been there for a long time, but everyone didn't expect to be able to hang people in the sky to shoot like this, as for the action direction, Cheng Xiaodong is certainly powerful, but it doesn't mean that there is really no one on our wireless side...... ATV is so aggressive now, it is nothing more than relying on the drama "Chu Liuxiang", why don't we also make martial arts dramas to fight them? ”

As soon as Wang Tianlin's words fell, someone immediately jumped out to object.

"I agree with what Producer Wang said earlier, but in the end, I really don't agree with that JianyΓ¬, even if our side is technically OK and can shoot action scenes like "Chu Liuxiang", but do we have a script like "Chu Liuxiang"? It can be said that "Chu Liuxiang" can be as popular as it is now, the innovation in action design is only a secondary factor, the most important thing is that the script is well written, not to mention anything else, just the original novel was serialized in the newspaper, which has attracted a lot of viewers for this TV series, which I believe is obvious to all here. ”

The person who spoke was a little disagreeable with Wang Tianlin on weekdays, but he did talk about the most critical issue, so even Shao Yifu, who was looking for Wang Tianlin, could only choose to be silent.

Wang Tianlin expected that the other party would make trouble on this issue, and he was prepared in his heart, and said unhurriedly at this time: "Lin Xi is not the only one in Hong Kong who can write popular martial arts novels, even if he is in the limelight now, but it doesn't mean that there is really no opponent, at least I know that a person's work is made into a TV series, and the influence will definitely not be worse than Lin Xi." ”

Everyone else was still stunned, and Shao Yifu's face had changed to a thoughtful expression, because he had already guessed who Wang Tianlin was referring to.

Fang Yihua also reacted, and asked casually: "Are you talking about Jin Yong?" ”

"Miss Fang, see it!"

Wang Tianlin nodded at Fang Yihua, and at the same time, the corner of his eye glanced at the person who had just refuted him, and saw that the other party's face was gloomy, and his heart was secretly refreshed.

"In terms of fame, Mr. Jin Yong stabilized Lin Xi; In terms of the influence of his works, the circulation of Mr. Jin Yong's works is much better than Lin Xi's...... The most important thing is that Mr. Kim Yong has always had a good relationship with us Wireless, and we have cooperated a lot before, and now we have to adapt his work into a TV series, which should not be very difficult. ”

After Wang Tianlin pointed out the various benefits of adapting Jin Yong's novel into a TV series, he wisely chose to shut up, because he knew very well in his heart that whether this matter could be done or not ultimately depended on Shao Yifu's attitude.

Shao Yifu was silent for a moment, and he had already made a decision in his heart.

"I will say hello to Mr. Cha about this matter, and he will not refuse anything that is beneficial to everyone...... When you decide which novel you want to remake, the TV series will be produced by Tianlin, I have only one request, I can't let ATV be as proud as it is now! ”
