Xu Guanwu couldn't help but smile when he heard it, it is true that in his previous life, after Xu Wenqiang's death, the top management of TVB regretted it very much. Because at that time, TV was filming and broadcasting, and they didn't expect that "Shanghai Tang" would have so much magic, but after Xu Wenqiang's death, because he was reluctant to give up the golden paint signboard of "Shanghai Tang", Wireless also filmed sequels many times.

But it's a pity that Xu Wenqiang has been beaten into a hornet's nest, and he found a few screenwriters to study for a night, and there was no way to bring Xu Wenqiang back to life (in fact, the screenwriter himself didn't want Xu Wenqiang to be resurrected out of professional considerations), so the sequel could only take Ding Li as the protagonist.

Lu Liangwei filmed three TV series of "Shanghai Tang" in his childhood in the 80s alone, which can really be regarded as a sequel to the end. It's just that in terms of momentum, it's still the first one, and the rest of the sequels are just frying cold rice.

"Shanghai Tang" is a high-quality TV series, and it is already a classic in itself, so there is no need to continue the mink." Xu Guanwu waved his hand and said, "We have so many screenwriters in TVB, so let them continue to arrange new scripts, there is no need to hold on to the signboard of "Shanghai Tang". ”

"That's what you said." Liang Shuyi nodded and said, "Okay, if it's okay, then I'll go back to work first." ”

"Well, Serena, the Hong Kong government's control over TV broadcasts has been greatly strengthened recently, you have to fight with twelve points of spirit, I don't want to be caught by them." Xu Guanwu thought about it and reminded again.

"I'll remember that. In fact, why should you worry, our TVB has always been law-abiding. Liang Shuyi said with a smile, "Besides, we have a close relationship with the government. What do they do to keep us in trouble? ”

"It's hard to say. In short, let's do our best first. It's also prepared. Xu Guanwu waved his hand.

It's not that he doesn't want to explain it clearly to Liang Shuyi, it's just that what he wants to say is too earth-shattering. "China will regain Hong Kong later." If you tell Hong Kong people now, they will definitely laugh and scold the "crazy line". In fact, just after the Sino-British negotiations, both sides have already signed the contract, and the people of Hong Kong still don't take it seriously. I thought the British government would keep Hong Kong no matter what.

This is reflected in Huang Ziwei's stand-up laughter, when he learned the news that the mainland was going to take back Hong Kong, he immediately called his mother in Hong Kong worriedly. "Grandma, the mainland is going to take back Hong Kong. Is it true? His mother was playing mahjong at the time, and replied casually, "Don't worry, you can't take it back." "No, the contract has already been signed, and it will be withdrawn in more than ten years." Huang Ziwei hurriedly said. His mother replied with three words that he would never forget, "Really...... Touch! "I still haven't forgotten to touch the cards.

It is difficult to convince them that even the Sino-British negotiations in Hong Kong and the fact that China will later take back Hong Kong, as for the British government in Hong Kong, which is interested in using the media to incite citizens against the mainland. I thought it was even more fantastical.

……

"Shanghai Tang" did not change the ending when it was rebroadcast in the afternoon, which made many Hong Kong citizens very dissatisfied. He also called the TV station to protest the abuse. Because this time it was daytime, housewives were free, so a series of calls directly turned TVB's hotline hotline hot, and it became a veritable "hotline".

However, even in the face of the enthusiastic audience, TVB still resisted the pressure and insisted that it would not revise the ending, and immediately launched the martial arts TV series "Parting Hook" starring Xie Xian and Huang Shuyi that night. "Parting Hook" is an adaptation of Gu Long's martial arts novel and belongs to one of the "Seven Weapons" series. "Seven Weapons" has the Immortal Sword, the Jasper Knife, the Amorous Ring, the Parting Hook, the Peacock Feather, and the Overlord Gun...... They represent the six weapons of smile, honesty, hatred, modesty, confidence and courage.

"Fist", also known as "Angry Pony", was once regarded as the last weapon, but unfortunately "Fist" is not an opponent of the Blue Dragon Society, so it can only be regarded as an alternative to "Seven Weapons". In fact, when Gu Long wrote "The Parting Hook", many years had passed since he wrote about several other weapons. He doesn't remember the original idea very well, plus he sings every night, there is wine today and drunk today, and many good ideas have been put into practice.

Take the "Six Tricks" series of novels as an example, he only completed the first four chapters of "Blood Parrot", and the rest was ghostwritten by Huang Ying. Later, Huang Ying used the idea of "Six Strategies of Horror" to write "Heavenly Demon Knife", "Black Lizard", "Rakshasa Girl", "Crystal Man" and "Wingless Bat".

"Parting Hook" is one of Gu Long's later works, the writing is more mature and stable, and the story is more readable. There are two completely different characters in the book, one is the world-famous little marquis Di Qinglin, who is dashing, the first son of martial arts, and a high-ranking official eunuch, which can be described as indescribably expensive. The other is Yang Zheng, who is just a small catcher in a small county, and he is also after the Jiangyang thief. Compared with Di Qinglin, it is undoubtedly like a cloud of mud, one is high in the sky, and the other is as cheap as mud.

But the last thing was that it was Xiao Yu Yang Zheng who killed Di Qinglin, so that he also tasted the pain of parting. And the parting hook in his hand was originally a weapon refined in the same furnace as the thin knife in Di Qinglin's hand, and it was also the same root and species, but it was a pity that the thin knife itself was a divine weapon made of scrap iron. The parting hook is a waste weapon made of good iron.

The parting hook seems to be a waste weapon, but it is made of good iron, which means that the foundation of the person is originally good, so he can succeed. The thin knife is extremely sharp, but it is actually made of scrap iron, so the foundation is inherently bad. Even if he was sharp and unmatched, he could not stop people's greedy desires, but in the end, he lost to the seemingly waste parting hook.

The story of "The Parting Hook" is very well told and full of meaning, and it is the most mature work of "Seven Weapons", before the creation of "The Parting Hook", Gu Long specially quit the bad habit of singing songs at night in the past, and quietly retreated for a period of time, and only after the publication of this novel did he appear. It can be said to be the crystallization of Gu Long's painstaking efforts.

Now this novel has been adapted by TVB and put on the screen, with Huang Shutang, who previously starred in "Butterfly Change" ten-color flag lord Tian Feng, as the little catcher Yang Zheng, and the merry Xie Xian as the little marquis Di Qinglin. Liu Dan, who previously played Feng Jingyao in "Shanghai Tang". also plays Yang Zheng's father in this film. Rogue Yang hates.

"Parting Hook" is supervised by the famous wireless producer Li Tiansheng. The director is Du Qifeng. To Qifeng originally worked as a handyman at TVB, but later applied for the wireless artist training class, and worked for a few months after he came out. But Zhilu said that his appearance was not beautiful enough, and he had no expertise in acting, so when he caught up with the personnel changes of TVB, he directly transferred to the behind-the-scenes work, following Director Wang Tianlin as an assistant, and once tried to sleep less than 40 hours in a month. You can fall asleep standing at the end of the day.

Because he is willing to work hard and has talent, he has learned a lot in the past few years, and he has been promoted from a small assistant to an assistant director. This "Parting Hook" is the first time he has served as a full director, and this position was originally prepared for his master Wang Tianlin. But it's a pity that Director Wang is going to shoot "Love in a Fallen City", so he had to be promoted in the line of fire to bring up his apprentice Du Qifeng.

is the first time to serve as a TV drama director, although the power is in the hands of producer Li Tiansheng, he is just a tool for filming. But for newcomer Du Qifeng, he already feels quite lucky. So he was really interested in reading the original book again, and he was also dabbling in Gu Long's other novels, in order to make the TV series "Parting Hook" well.

Sure enough, the emperor lived up to his wishes, and the TV series "Parting Hook" was well received after it was broadcast. did not disappoint the hard work of the cast and crew. Although this TV series is the successor to "Shanghai Tang", there is this hit drama "Shanghai Tang" Zhuyu in front. Originally, "Parting Hook" should have been under a lot of pressure. But Du Qifeng was not afraid of tigers as a newborn calf, so he withstood the pressure to make this TV series wonderful and good-looking, and also made himself an instant hit in the Hong Kong entertainment industry.

And two days after the release of "Parting Hook", as Xu Guanwu said, once people watched the new play, the unhappiness with the ending of "Shanghai Tang" was immediately forgotten. The protest calls are getting fewer and fewer day by day, and after a few days, except for a few dead-headed TV fans, there are no more calls, and everyone is busy watching "Parting Hook".

……

The popularity of "Shanghai Tang" has set off a frenzy of competing for TV dramas in Hong Kong. When the TV series "Shanghai Tang" was broadcast in the last few episodes, Jiayi TV had already announced that it was going to shoot the TV series "Ma Zhongzhen Fights for Domination on the Beach".

Ma Yongzhen is a boxer in history, a boxer in the late Qing Dynasty and the early Republic of China, because of his strong kung fu, he went to Shanghai alone and once made a big name in the rivers and lakes. It's a pity that the most powerful man was plotted by the enemy and designed an ambush, and a generation of heroes died.

Shaw Brothers had previously made a movie called "Ma Yongzhen" based on this theme, and Chen Guantai, who was not very famous at the time, played the leading role. Sure enough, he became an instant hit and became a kung fu star famous in Southeast Asia.

After "Ma Yongzhen", Shaw Brothers did not continue to shoot movies with the theme of "Shanghai Tang", and it was not until the recent broadcast of TVB's TV series "Shanghai Tang" that Sir Shao suddenly woke up to the fact that he still had a golden signboard in his hand.

The hot scene of "Ma Yongzhen" when it was released back then was no weaker than the current "Shanghai Tang", if it can be changed into a TV series, wouldn't it also have great ratings.

Therefore, Jiayi TV Station hurriedly planned, and soon summoned people to start filming "Ma Yongzhen Fights for Dominance on the Beach", and you can see that the name is related to "Shanghai Beach".

Because Chen Guantai, who played Ma Yongzhen before, has gone to wireless, Jiayi has no choice but to let Luo Lamin play Ma Yongzhen. Luo Lunin previously starred in "The Condor Heroes", in which he played the Condor Hero Yang Guo. Although Luo Lamin played supporting roles and villains many times in his previous life when he was developing in wireless, he was angular and loyal when he was young, so he often played decent roles, and he was also the most popular student on Jiayi TV.

"Ma Yongzhen's Battle for Shanghai Beach" gathers the strength of Jiayi TV, and almost every star plays a role in it, either as a guest or in a small supporting role, which always surprises people. It is also a rare large-scale work of Jiayi TV this year.

The reason why Jiayi is willing to invest a lot of money is that in addition to taking this opportunity to win back some ratings, it also wants to sweep away the bad luck caused by the failure of the application. In addition, there are also large investment companies that want to acquire Shaw Brothers and take a stake in Jiayi TV recently. Therefore, Sir Shao also wants to increase the ratings of the TV station, so that the TV station can sell at a good price.

Originally, Sir Shao had the intention of running Jiayi TV Station well, but unfortunately, the application for revocation of the broadcast restriction was rejected by the Hong Kong government, and the application for a new license was also rejected by the Hong Kong government, which made Sir Shao become discouraged all of a sudden. In addition, the TV station has been losing money since becoming the owner of Jiayi, not only did it not increase the profit of Shaw Brothers, but it also became a heavy burden. This made Sir Shao also distressed, and planned to sell this hot potato.

And the acquirer is Jianing Group, which has been called a stock market myth in the past two years. (To be continued......)
