Chapter 119: Popularity is soaring
As TVB's annual drama, "Dragon Babu" has been filmed for a long time. ,
Before the start of the broadcast, Xiao Wei has been worried about how this kind of large-scale production should be broadcast, because this drama is sprinkled with more than fifty episodes, if the first broadcast effect is not good, then the back will have to be cut in half, and a good way to deal with this problem must be found, even if it is really cut in half, it will not affect the reputation of the TV station.
Xiao Wei can't help but have a headache about this problem, and Fang Yihua, as the director of the finance department of the TV station, also has a headache, after all, the investment in this drama is too big, and if there is a bad pool, it will have a big impact.
No one could have imagined that this problem was easily solved by Duan Zihao's words, he said: "Why don't you divide this drama into two parts?" The first part is called "Six Veins Divine Sword", and the second part is called "The Legend of Void Bamboo"! ”
A word to wake up the dreamer!
Fang Yihua, Xiao Wei, and the others immediately lit up their eyes.
yes, why not divide it?
In fact, traditional Hong Kong TV dramas have never been separated, and they are often broadcast consecutively like 20 episodes and 30 episodes.
There are not many episodes of these TV series, and they are basically not afraid of being cut in half, but "Dragon Babu" has created a precedent, that is, to divide most of the TV series into several parts, if the ratings of the previous one are not good, then there is no need to shoot it again, so that even if it is really cut in half, those viewers have nothing to say, after all, the first part has been broadcast, and it is not a eunuch drama.
Duan Zihao never thought that he just said casually according to the style of his previous life, but he became the first person to create a Hong Kong TV drama series, and he was even more impressed by Xiao Wei, Fang Yihua and others.
Don't say that this question is simple, the simpler the problem, often many people can't think of it, just like Apple landed and achieved Newton, Duan Zihao's talent leaked out again on the TV station.
……
August 12, 1982.
With the filming of the wireless masterpiece "Dragon Babu", the editing part has been completed. For Hong Kong audiences, the long-awaited "Dragon Babu" is finally about to start, and it has started very well, with ratings directly reaching an astonishing 28 points, which is almost equal to more than 13o people watching this drama among 6oo citizens.
For such ratings, Xiao Wei, Fang Yihua and others secretly breathed a sigh of relief.
As for the old rival Li's TV station, it is in an eventful season, and the stock is constantly falling, and it has suffered the impact of the big production of TVB. It can really be said that it is internal and external troubles. However, after all, Li's tree is big and deep-rooted, and in the case of internal and external unfavorables, she actually launched her own large-scale zuò4o blockbuster "Going to Tiger Mountain Again".
This film still follows the old way of being good at kung fu dramas in the Republic of China, gathering big-name stars such as Dong Bi, Mi Xue, Liang Xiaolong, and Wu Weiguo, taking the route of national hatred, family hatred, takeaway love triangle and kung fu upgrade, which attracted a lot of viewers who like this kind of drama for a while.
It can be said that Leigh's TV station is very smart this time. With the advantage of what he is best at, he does not fight investment and set up the scenery with wireless, but wins by relying on the storyline.
As a result, the entire Xiangjiang once again presented the situation of the two heroes competing for hegemony on the TV station.
This way. TVB's "Six-Vein Divine Sword" just remembered the theme song "Two Forgotten Smoke and Water"——
Male: My daughter is a hero
Vomit out a little bit of kindness and righteousness
Female: Pillow poems
How much drunk is left in my heart
Male: Lei Luozhi is the heart of heaven and earth
Pour out sincerity and no regrets
F: It is mourning to give all your love
The wind turned into a sigh......
The whole theme song is tender and sweet, mournful and lingering, which makes people sigh, and I want to see how the nerd Duan Yu pursues the fairy sister Wang Yuyan.
……
That end. Li's TV station immediately began to play the theme song of "Walking to Tiger Mountain Again", and the high-pitched male voice sang-
How can you be brave in your life
Now go up to Tiger Mountain
Everyone exclaimed, everyone admired
People are said to be full of guts
Why advise me not to look for trouble
I know I'm going to break through
Obsessed with the heart, strict and evil in the heart
It's hard to let the tigers suffer......
……
This is a pain for those Hong Kong citizens who like to watch dramas.
The wife likes to watch the lingering and sympathetic "Dragon Babu", but the husband likes to watch the masculine "Walking to Tiger Mountain Again".
Martial arts fans love to watch "Heavenly Dragon". Kung fu fans love to watch "Tiger Mountain Travel" -
As a result, the whole Xiangjiang could not live in peace, and many harmonious families were even more chaotic, just to watch which drama.
The resistance of Li's TV station was unexpected by TVB, so the ratings of the drama "Tianlong" are also like a roller coaster, which makes Xiao Dagang and others hang their hearts, jumping up and down, and they are very worried.
However, on the whole, the ratings of the drama "Tianlong" are still a little better, after all, the wireless family has a thick foundation, the early publicity is good, and the cast should not be underestimated, plus this drama itself is Jin Yong's classic and has many fixed book fans, so it will be more noticed by the big guys.
……
And with the start of the drama "Dragon Babu", the various characters in the play have also become everyone's highlights and talking points.
As Hong Kong's leading Hong Kong TVB TV News, it has set up a message section of "Audience Knows My Heart" to collect a variety of wonderful film reviews on the characters and plots of TV dramas every week.
And this section is also an entertainment column with the highest attention of Hong Kong citizens, which can be said to belong to the participation of the whole people, and has a huge effect on the improvement of the popularity of each actor.
During this time, the "Audience Knows My Heart" column was even more popular, especially for the actors of the main characters "Duan Yu" and "Wang Yuyan" in "Tianlong", and many viewers gave high praise.
In their opinion, Tang Zhenye used his melon seed face to interpret Duan Yu's internal and external temperament and appearance in the play very well - you must know that Duan Yu's face in the original book is melon seeds, unlike his father Duan Zhengchun who has a big long face, which shows that Duan Yu is not his biological son.
As for Tang Zhenye's acting skills, he has also been unanimously recognized by everyone, saying that he will play the image of a nerd who goes crazy when he sees "Sister Fairy", and plays it vividly.
"Wang Yuyan" played by Chen Yulian has the prototype of her role as "Little Dragon Girl" in the future, she does not eat fireworks in the world, she is dressed in white, she looks forward to Qianxi, and covers her mouth and laughs. Like a beauty in an ancient picture.
The "Xuzhu" played by Huang Rihua and the "Xiao Feng" played by Liang Jiaren, who appeared next, have also been unanimously recognized by everyone, especially Huang Rihua's Mu Na is honest and simple, Xiao Feng's pride and chivalry are all played by them.
Among them, the old drama bone Liang Jiaren himself has a kung fu foundation, plus he, like Xiao Feng, the protagonist of the original work, has thick eyebrows and big eyes, and a Chinese face. is also in his thirties, after going through ups and downs, it can be said that Liang Jiaren has the most points of convergence with the role, and it is also the most fascinating. Therefore, even Master Jin Yong nodded and praised his performance of "Xiao Feng", and commented in "Ming Pao", "He is simply a character who came out of my novel." ”
You must know that there are many people in Hong Kong who have remade the works of Master Jin Yong, but very few can be praised by him personally. Although it's just such a simple sentence. gave Liang Jiaren, an old actor, enough face, and also made him exhale and raise his eyebrows, which became a wonderful highlight in this play.
The media all like to chase the wind, and Tang Zhenye has just been picked up over there. Here began to support Liang Jiaren again, but unfortunately Liang Jiaren is not a handsome guy, and he lacks the unique charm that attracts boys and girls, so the effect in pursuit is not as good as Tang Zhenye.
……
Compared to the main characters and characters of "Dragon Babu". "Murong Fu" played by Duan Zihao belongs to the late appearance type, but as soon as he appeared, he "amazed" all the audience.
The "amazing" here does not mean how good his acting skills are. The characters have just come out, and the acting skills have not yet been waved, how can you see it. Therefore, the "amazing" here is Duan Zihao's "Murong Fu" appearance.
What's wrong with the appearance?
It's amazing!
So much so that many viewers exclaimed differently-
"Oh my God, the most handsome Murong Fu in history!"
"Such a handsome guy plays a supporting role, and he is a tyrannical thing!"
"Let him play Murong Fu is to find the right person, and directly compare Duan Yu with Xuzhu!"
……
"How good it is for him to play the male protagonist Duan Yu, the director is so blind!"
"It seems that I am still a student of the artist training class, which is not easy!"
"That is to say, Duan Zihao's version of Murong Fu finished exploding Duan Yu and Xuzhu...... How embarrassing! ”
……
Of course, the strongest reaction to this is Duan Zihao's small group of fans.
"Unlimited support for Ah King to play Murong Fu!"
"Duan Zihao, let's top you!"
"Future Heavenly King, come on!"
……
In addition to the above more positive voices, there are also some different voices in the audience.
"Ha, it's just that I look good, I have a little white face, and I don't know how my acting skills are!"
"Yes, don't think it's great to sing two songs and become popular, it's not so easy to be a star!"
"Look at how he plays Murong Fu below, is it an embroidered pillow?!"
It is understandable, after all, Duan Zihao's recent popularity is all due to the popularity of the two songs, and as an actor, the only thing he can mention and get started with is the three-minute scene in "Thousands of Rivers, Thousands of Mountains, Always Love". Therefore, this time is a critical moment to test his acting skills, regardless of whether they like him or not, they have begun to pay attention to this artist trainee who has soared in popularity recently, to see what he is capable of.
But what no one could have imagined was that with the start of the drama "Tianlong", Murong Fu played by Duan Zihao became more and more exciting, and his performance was simply impeccable, like an iron fist, giving those who questioned and judged indiscriminately, a sharp blow.
On the message section of Hong Kong TV News's "The Audience Knows My Heart", countless participants who originally targeted Tang Zhenye as Duan Yu, Chen Yulian as Wang Yuyan, Huang Rihua as Xu Zhu, and Liang Jiaren as Xiao Feng invariably turned the spearhead and began to make various comments on Murong Fu played by Duan Zihao.
"Compared with Duan Yu, a young man with golden branches and jade leaves who has the freedom to go to innocence, this down-and-out emperor is too tired to live, at this time he is not so much a power maniac and careerist, but a man who endures the pain of giving up love for the future and has nowhere to shed a tear."
"In my opinion, Murong Fu played by Duan Zihao is the most real hero, the more in the big scene, the more characters there are, the more he can go against the wind, have the courage to express himself, and pursue the sense of achievement that attracts everyone's attention."
"Duan Zihao's acting skills are exquisite, at least he has Murong Fu's obsession with one thought, he can't see it everywhere, he can't understand it, and his paranoid and stubborn side is expressive."
……
It is in this unanimous praise that it is in the midst of such unanimous praise. Duan Zihao's popularity rose again, making the whole drama begin to center on him, and even overpowered Tang Zhenye, Huang Rihua and Liang Jiaren as the male protagonists, and became the target of the entire media to chase and report.
Especially when the "Veil Kiss" adapted by Duan Zihao was completely broadcast on TV, it immediately set off a crazy "Murong resurgence" in Xiangjiang.
Countless women began to fall in love with "Murong Fu", fascinated, and cry for his tragedy, thinking that he was a strange hero, a real man.
Even some male viewers began to like Murong Fu played by Duan Zihao. I think a big husband should be like this.
It can be said that Duan Zihao's adaptation directly eliminated the original book's narrow-mindedness and cold-blooded and ruthless ugliness of the character of Murong Fu, and promoted him to a Hamlet-like character who disregarded his career and lost his love.
Tragedy can often create miracles and classics!
It was on the day that "Veil Kiss" was broadcast, and the ratings of "Dragon Babu" reached an astonishing 4o points!
It is equivalent to more than 240,000 people watching this drama in Hong Kong!
The ratings of this time period are even more directly defeated by Li's TV station "Walking to Tiger Mountain Again".
Such a miracle is called the "Murong Fu effect" by some well-intentioned people. In response to this unprecedented and strange "effect", many well-known people in Hong Kong's entertainment or cultural circles can't help but give their own unique opinions.
In this regard, the old naughty boy Huang Zhan, known as the "poisonous tongue" in the Hong Kong entertainment industry. couldn't help but express his opinion on "Murong Fu" played by Duan Zihao-
"In my opinion, the fact that such a strange phenomenon can appear in a drama shows that the performance of the actor who plays Murong Fu is very wonderful and in place, so that the audience can't help but substitute for it. shouted grievances for Murong Fu. Having said that, I know the actor Duan Zihao, as a singer. He didn't have to say that he was talented, but as an actor...... I didn't expect him to be so powerful, especially the 'Veil Kiss' was simply sad and pathetic. If I had to describe this young man in four words, it would be 'unbelievable'! ”
The old urchin Huang Zhan is known as the "Four Great Talents" in the Hong Kong cultural circle, and Jin Yong, Ni Kuang, and Cai Lan, who are as famous as him, did not expect old friends to praise a newcomer so much.
So as the most vocal and original author of "Dragon Babu", the martial arts master Jin Yong finally couldn't help but speak-
"This play is adapted from my own work, and the playwright asked for my consent before the adaptation, that is, there will be a large revision of the characters in the play. To this, my reply to them is that this book is my son, and I don't want you to change it beyond recognition. As a result, after the start of this play, I watched it, and at first it was basically faithful to my original work, but after the role of Murong Fu appeared, I realized that he had more scenes than the plot I wrote in the book. That's not all, with the development of the plot, the Murong Fu played by Mr. Duan Zihao is simply not the same as the Murong Fu I portrayed......"
"Please note that here I am not accusing Mr. Duan Zihao of disrespecting the characters in my work to interpret this play, on the contrary, I want to say that he acted very wonderfully, at least his Murong Fu is better than mine, flesh and blood, no longer a ruthless one, maybe in the eyes of more people, the Murong Fu he played is the real Murong Fu, therefore, I want to say that this is how Xiaoxiong is refined!"
Master Jin Yong has been closed for many years, and occasionally makes some comments on his "Ming Pao", especially rarely comments too much on the characters in the entertainment industry. However, as soon as his large section of "How the Hero is Made" was listed, it directly stirred up a thousand waves with one stone, and countless people began to re-examine this comet in the entertainment industry who was born with two songs......
Those who once questioned him as a flash in the pan at least understand that even if they are not in the music exhibition, they can still get ahead in the film industry!
It can be said that with Master Jin Yong's words, Duan Zihao's popularity has risen directly from the high popularity to the stage of public attention, so that "no one knows Duan Zihao", and he himself is considered by many Hong Kong audiences to be a TV star who will become popular in the future.
