On April 14, 1981, Li's TV officially announced that it would change its name to Asia Television, which was more than a year earlier than Lin Xi remembered.

Qiu Degen officially stated at the press conference that ATV will implement the system of separation of production and broadcasting in the future, and this measure will definitely bring new impetus to the development of the industry.

Qiu Degen's speech also set the tone for the broadcast of ATV's opening drama "Chu Liuxiang".

Now everyone knows that "Chu Liuxiang" is a TV series shot by Oriental Film and Television borrowing Yuan Li's TV production team, and it is also ATV's first attempt to implement the separation of production and broadcasting.

Different people reacted differently to ATV's move.

After Zou Wenhuai learned of this, he joked to He Guanchang, the veteran of the company who founded Golden Harvest with him, that Qiu Degen's move was very ambitious, and Shao Laoliu thought that if he concentrated on making TV, he would have no more opponents, but this is a miscalculation!

And as Zou Wenhuai expected, Shao Yifu looked preoccupied when he heard about it, and even when he went to have afternoon tea that day, Fang Yihua, who accompanied him, had to comfort him, "Chu Liuxiang" has not yet been broadcast, and the success or failure of ATV's move is not yet known.

Could "Chu Liuxiang" fail?

Shao Yifu shook his head in his heart, in the past two days, he specially ordered people to buy and watch "Ming Pao", and the serialized "Chu Liuxiang" in the newspaper continued Lin Xi's previous level, and the story was quite exciting and attractive.

I heard that Ming Pao increased the newspaper print run by 10% on the first day, but it was still in short supply, and on the second day, it continued to increase by 10%, but it was still sold out quickly, which shows the amazing appeal of this novel.

As long as the TV series can shoot half of the essence of the novel, no, only one-third, this drama will not be bad.

What's more, "Chu Liuxiang" is directed by Lin Xi himself, and there is probably no screenwriter in this world who knows the original novel better than him, and this TV series is definitely the closest version to the original book.

As soon as the TV series is broadcast, it is estimated that the sales of "Ming Pao" will have to increase again...... It's just that these have nothing to do with Shao Yifu, and the only thing he feels now is worry.

"Chu Liuxiang" is successful, and ATV will not rise immediately, but once the separation of production and broadcasting is opened, if everyone sees that it is profitable to make TV series, more people will naturally join.

Qiu Degen's move is tantamount to pulling all these people to his side and working together to fight against wireless.

Shao Yifu thought that he had already attached great importance to this opponent before, but now he realized that he still underestimated the other party.

Of course, for Shao Yifu, who has been in the Hong Kong film industry for decades, Qiu Degen's ATV is actually not completely taken into his eyes, and the real variable is still in Lin Xi, this young man who rises like a comet really makes Shao Yifu a little incomprehensible.

In fact, not only Shao Yifu sees it this way, many people in the industry are also paying attention to Lin Xi's success or failure this time, you must know that Lin Xi said before that he wanted to surpass Bruce Lee, although it is unrealistic to achieve this goal with a TV series, but since he dares to say so, and does not bow his head in the face of surging public opinion pressure, he must also rely on it.

With this TV series, you can just explore Lin Xi's hole cards.

Insiders look at the doorway, and laymen look at the liveliness.

For ordinary Hong Kong citizens, "Chu Liuxiang" is a TV series that will be broadcast soon and is worth looking forward to.

Before that, the impression of this TV series in everyone's minds has actually been changing.

At the beginning, I heard that Lin Xi had adapted his unpublished novel into a TV series, and readers who had read Lin Xi's first two novels were all in a state of expectation. In Hong Kong, people who have not seen or heard of the two novels "The Peerless Twins" and "Notes on Tomb Robbery" can't actually find a few people, so this drama has a wide audience from the beginning.

The change in the situation appeared after Zheng Shaoqiu was revealed by the media to play the leading role in the play, which made many viewers who like Shen Lixia have some bad feelings about this drama, and some people even wrote to Li's TV at the time, asking for the protagonist to be replaced.

This turmoil has not subsided, and then Lin Xi released a bold statement at the press conference to surpass Bruce Lee, which offended a group of fans of Bruce Lee's kung fu movies.

It wasn't until the novel "Chu Liuxiang" suddenly began to be serialized in "Ming Pao" that everyone's attention was suddenly attracted again.

Although the novel has only reached its second issue, Chu Liuxiang, a perfect character who is almost close to a god, has almost effortlessly firmly grasped the hearts of many readers.

He comes and goes like the wind, acts with his own principles, even if he steals, he does it above board, and the so-called thief also has a way, so he is called "the generalissimo among thieves, the best son among hooligans".

He maintains an excellent demeanor at all times and places, without being deliberate or pretentious, and even if he is forced to use violence, it is a kind of graceful violence.

Elegant, calm, suave, resourceful, observant, kind and affectionate, Chu Liuxiang has almost all the advantages of men, and both men and women are easily attracted to such roles.

And watching "Chu Liuxiang" is like reading a detective novel, peeling off the cocoon layer by step, allowing readers to fall into the plot step by step, and finally immerse themselves in it and find it difficult to extricate themselves.

This novel is a complete hit, and many readers feel that they are not addicted to reading the serials in the newspaper, so they naturally shift their attention to the upcoming TV series.

At this time, there are not too many people who care about how bad the actor Zheng Shaoqiu of the TV series is, how arrogant the director Lin Xi is, and everyone is curious about how the TV series will express the various thrilling plots in the novel.

Most of them were in a hurry after work that night, and hurried home in a hurry; In the past, it was the teahouse and restaurant with the best business, but today it is particularly cold, not only the customers who eat are constantly looking at the clock hanging on the wall, but even the waiters are glancing at it from time to time, wishing to get off work early and rush back.

Even the business of the nightclub has been affected a little, there are many fewer customers than in the past, and many people choose the kind of private room with a TV set when they come, and the ladies who are ordered by such guests are all elated, and they are more happy than a few hundred yuan more in tips.

The neighbors who played cards and mahjong together also broke up early today, went back to their respective homes, and turned on the TV early and waited.

Even those who live in the tube buildings and housing villages have gone to the homes of acquaintances with televisions for various reasons after eating, and often a room of less than 10 square meters can fit more than 10 people.

By the time it was almost eight o'clock, there were fewer pedestrians on both sides of the road, and even fewer cars passing on the road, and the whole of Hong Kong seemed to be an empty city.
