Chapter 149: The Sword and Eagle Controversy
Seeing that Duan Zihao was neither humble nor arrogant, Qiu Degen did not speak, but looked at him with his eyes, and then laughed and said: "The sun is handsome, it's really good, it's a piece of beautiful jade!" Hurry up and take a seat, Mr. Duan! β
In full view of everyone, Duan Zihao happily took a seat.
That's when the real conversation begins.
"But I wonder what Mr. Duan came to our ATV on purpose?" Qiu Degen asked, picking up the teacup and blowing the tea powder on it.
Xu Xiaoming and his gang looked at Duan Zihao to see what he meant.
The corners of Duan Zihao's mouth curled, and he smiled: "I came here to cooperate with your company." β
And so it was.
Qiu Degen secretly said in his heart, it seems that he has blocked this young man very badly, and they all took the initiative to come.
But the next sentence surprised everyone.
Duan Zihao said: "I made a TV series and wanted to sell it to ATV. β
"Ahem, what are you 3?" Qiu Degen, who was drinking tea, almost choked on the tea.
Duan Zihao said: "I mean, I filmed a movie and wanted to sell it to you ATV, to be precise, to be broadcast on ATV." β
Qiu Degen heard it clearly, and couldn't help but look at Xu Xiaoming and the others.
Xu Xiaoming and others also looked at each other one by one, no one thought that Duan Zihao did not come here to "defect", but really came to "do business".
Among them, Xu Xiaoming is the one who knows the best about Duan Zihao, so he said at this time: "Is the TV series you are talking about your "Ancient Sword and Strange Tan"? β
Duan Zihao nodded, "That's right, it's this play." β
Xu Xiaoming: "I didn't expect you to finish filming, it's very risky to invest alone, if you can't sell it, you will be smashed in your hands." β
The suggestive words of this sentence immediately made Qiu Degen seize the lead, and said with a smile: "Mr. Duan can think of our ATV." We're honored, but ...... We're not short of drama for the time being. β
"Yes, there are still many productions of our TV station, all of which are still in the future and broadcast, and we will not buy foreign dramas for the time being." Others chimed in.
Duan Zihao seemed to have expected the other party to say this, and said with a smile: "You are not short of dramas, but you lack a big production that can defeat wireless!" β
"What did you say?"
"What do you mean by that?"
"Are you looking down on us?"
β¦β¦
Duan Zihao's words made everyone on ATV excited, thinking that Duan Zihao was clearly ridiculing them for being incompetent.
"Don't get excited, and listen to what this Mr. Duan has to say?" Qiu Degen said slowly.
So the people who stood up sat down again. All looked at Duan Zihao with a hostile look.
Duan Zihaoquan didn't see it, and said with a smile: "First of all, my drama is definitely a big production, with a strong lineup, the director is Xu Ke, and the martial arts is Hong Jinbao." starring Mi Xue, Zhao Yazhi, Zhang Guirong; Secondly, I have a large audience for this play. His adapted novel was also serialized in the supplement of "Ming Pao", which was described in two words, a big fire; Finally, my play has a strong publicity stunt. If you play it, you will definitely become the king of topics! β
Duan Zihao said firmly, his eyes were burning and he was full of confidence.
Qiu Degen looked at him and suddenly said, "Although what you said is very reasonable. It's also fascinating, but I still won't accept it. Unless. You can give me another good reason. β
As a businessman, he would not be persuaded by the other party so lightly.
Duan Zihao smiled again, and then threw out the killer feature, "After reading this, I think you may agree." With that, he handed one over.
Qiu Degen couldn't help but glance at it, but saw that it read "Condor Shooting Schedule" and "Floating Signing Contract".
Qiu Degen's eyes lit up, the "Condor" broadcast schedule can undoubtedly help ATV to give a wireless surprise attack, and can refer to the other party's arrangement to deploy troops, as for the "floating signing contract"......
Qiu Degen, Xu Xiaoming and others opened it and looked at it, and it was written very simply, if ATV buys the TV series copyright of "Ancient Sword and Strange Tan" in Duan Zihao's hands, then the two sides will cooperate in a floating method.
If the ratings of "Ancient Sword" reach 2o points, ATV TV will pay Duan Zihao 1oo Hong Kong dollars.
If the ratings of "Ancient Sword" reach 25 points, ATV TV will pay Duan Zihao 15o Hong Kong dollars.
And so on, 3o points are 2oo million Hong Kong dollars, and 35 points are 25o million Hong Kong dollars.
Since then, starting from 35 points, every time a point rises, it will increase by 5o thousand, and five points will be 25o million, that is to say, if the ratings of "Ancient Sword" can break through 4o points, ATV will pay Duan Zihao 5oo Hong Kong dollars!
You must know that the drama that Duan Zihao invested in filming is 250,000 Hong Kong dollars, and the cost can only be recovered when the ratings reach 35 points. You can only earn money after 35 points.
For ATV TV, they did not suffer at all in this contract, on the contrary, they also took a big advantage.
If the ratings are low, they will spend hundreds of thousands at most, and if the ratings are high, then ...... It is very likely that you will defeat your old rival Wireless in one fell swoop!
After reading this strange and creative contract, Qiu Degen glanced at Xu Xiaoming, Xu Xiaoming nodded, and everyone else knew it.
So Qiu Degen turned back to Duan Zihao without hesitation and said: "Your contract is very special, but I like it, I hope our cooperation is successful!" As he spoke, he raised his teacup.
Tea instead of wine.
Duan Zihao also raised his teacup.
Then in the meeting room of the president of ATV, there was warm applause.
β¦β¦
December 12, 1982.
The annual drama "Shooting the Condor" filmed by TVB is ready to be officially broadcast.
To this end, TVB TV has concentrated its firepower to warm up and promote this drama.
On the "Weekly TV Newspaper" controlled by TVB, not only did an exclusive report on the front and back of "The Legend of the Condor Heroes", but also took out the gossip and anecdotes in the filming to tell the story.
For example, in the "Guo Huang Love" between Huang Rihua and Weng Meiling, Miao Qiaowei played "Yang Kang" under so much pressure that he suffered from depression and had to see a psychiatrist. There is also a quarrel between Liu Dan, the actor of "Hong Qigong", and Zeng Jiangsheng, the actor of "Huang Yaoshi", in the play, and the two old guys almost did it on the spot.
It can be said that these headless but gossip news have attracted the attention of many viewers. It has also made "Shooting the Condor" synonymous with the upcoming TV blockbuster at the end of the year.
In addition, seven broadcasters in Hong Kong also took turns broadcasting about the comparison between the new version of "Shooting the Condor" and the old version of "Shooting the Condor". said that this will be an epoch-making new martial arts film, and the previous "Dragon Babu" has become a classic in Xiangjiang.
In order to increase the popularity of his play, Du Qifeng, as the director, personally appeared in major stores in Hong Kong to launch the "Watching "Condor Shooting" Gift Activity", promising that as long as you call or write to Wireless when watching "The Legend of the Condor Heroes", you will get a "Condor Shooting" gift package from the merchant, including a TV. Washing machines, as well as microwave ovens, etc.
It can be said that in order to pave the way for the drama "Shooting the Condor", TVB has done enough publicity and gimmicks, which has attracted Hong Kong citizens to wait for the official broadcast of this drama.
The wireless side is hot and lively, but the ATV TV side is deserted, it seems that after the last time "Traveling to Tiger Mountain" failed to "Dragon Babu", this newly rising ATV has no confidence, so that many media said. ATV is also hot, at the beginning the momentum was amazing, but now it has lost the position, so it has to face reality. Make a shrunken turtle.
But is it true?
ATV is really ready to shrink its head this time and not touch the edge of the wireless "Condor Shooting"?!
Just when everyone was speculating, ATV suddenly released the news that ATV was about to launch a year-end drama - "The Legend of the Ancient Sword"!
Bang!
The entire entertainment industry exploded!
"The Legend of the Ancient Sword"?
Who doesn't know that this is a TV series invested and filmed by Duan Zihao. ATV actually bought it to play?!
Those fans of Duan Zihao were excited, and those fans of "The Legend of the Ancient Sword" were excited.
They looked forward to it, and finally they looked forward to this day!
Duan Zihao is coming back out of the rivers and lakes!
Although Duan Zihao's kitchen column in wireless is very popular. But everyone would prefer to see his appearance on the screen. Now, he finally shouted to everyone to meet in "Ancient Sword"!
Wireless' response to this has been lukewarm.
Insiders know that Duan Zihao took this drama to sell it, but was coldly rejected by Wireless, and now it is no problem for people to sell it to ATV.
However, for wireless people, even if Duan Zihao's drama is given to ATV, he can't escape the fate of being destroyed by "Shooting the Condor". After all, the entire wireless is full of expectations for "Condor Shooting", as well as that invincible confidence.
Even Weng Meiling, who likes Duan Zihao, sweats for him, in Weng Meiling's opinion, Duan Zihao's drama can't beat "Shooting the Condor", because she is the heroine, so she knows how good this drama is.
Xiao Mo could only sigh, but he couldn't do anything, and he couldn't help Duan Zihao.
As for Liu Dehua, Liang Wei, Zhou Xingchi and others, they could only silently cheer for Duan Zihao in their hearts. They can't do much either.
Now, TVB's "Shooting the Condor" is competing against ATV's "Ancient Sword", and the two TV stations have once again set off a year-end TV war.
Combat is just around the corner.
In terms of casting, both sides are very strong, especially "Ancient Sword" is full of big names, Xu Ke, Hong Jinbao, Zhang Guirong, Mi Xue, Zhao Yazhi......
It's a pity that the ATV platform is not as powerful as wireless, and at this point, "Ancient Sword" suffers.
Secondly, in terms of publicity, wireless occupies the media channels under its own control, and has carried out overwhelming advertising for "Shooting the Condor", which is now lively.
In contrast, "Ancient Sword" was a constant topic before the start of filming, but after the end of filming, there were basically no publicity stunts. Now it's too late for ATV to make amends, even if they want to.
Therefore, for many Hong Kong citizens and some professionals who comment on TV dramas, it is an indisputable fact that "Ancient Sword" has the upper hand against "Shooting the Condor".
To know, it is one thing whether a drama can become popular, it is another thing to have more topics, the most important thing is that the quality must be passed, and the audience must be recognized, which is the most important thing.
If it is not unexpected, the drama "The Legend of the Condor Heroes" was a century-old classic in Hong Kong TV dramas in its previous life, and its ratings once exceeded 38 points, causing a strong sensation in Hong Kong, and "Pretty Huang Rong" played by Weng Meiling and "Yang Kang" played by Miao Qiaowei were popular in Hong Kong, in contrast, "Guo Jing" played by Huang Rihua was not as popular as Miao Qiaowei; When the big 6 was released, on the contrary, the most popular were Huang Rihua and Weng Meiling, jokingly known as "pretty Huang Rong stupid Guo Jing", and Miao Qiaowei was in third. It can be said that Cheng DΓΉ, who became popular in Hong Kong and the mainland, is different, but one thing is certain, that is, this drama is too popular! Fire all over the country!
Now that the battle between the sword and the eagle has just begun, everyone is collectively optimistic about this "Shooting the Condor".
"Hong Kong Wen Wei Po" entertainment section reportββ
The TV war is imminent, "Shooting the Condor" bends the bow and laughs proudly, does "Ancient Sword" harm itself? !
"Entertainment Times" reported -
Duan Zihao tested the waters of the new work as the leading actor; The teacher unfortunately encountered the wireless "Condor Shooting"!
Hong Kong's "Ming Pao" entertainment section - "Ancient Sword" is extremely hot, and "Condor Shooting" is extremely popular; Who can laugh proudly in the sword carving battle, and it also depends on who has low ratings and who is high!
β¦β¦
Although the remarks on these newspapers and magazines do not represent most people, anyone with a discerning eye can see that "Shooting the Condor" is still a little more popular than "Ancient Sword".
Therefore, many bulls who claim to be experts have begun to predict that "Ancient Sword" will fail miserably, and it will be a complete failure! (To be continued......)
