Chapter 50: ATV's Great Change

After the Ye family banquet, Ye Yongji talked to Ye Chengkang about Ye Sheng's meaning, these two women are not the ideal daughter-in-law of the Ye family, I hope Ye Chengkang can consider the Ye family and find a daughter-in-law who can deal with all kinds of people for Ye Chengkang's future, after all, Mrs. diplomacy is also a very critical at some times, Ye Chengkang is noncommittal, if he can be strong enough, then the people around him will revolve around his woman, there is no need to forcibly ask Luo Huifang, Xu Jiayi and them to change and learn some things that they are not good at, this also violates Ye Chengkang's own nature, loving someone is to maintain her nature, not to change her, and let her be happy forever.

Anyway, now Ye Chengkang has no time to think about these things, Zhao Boli They are still waiting for his follow-up funds in Taiwan, in addition to his daily work, he is working hard with Fang Qiaorong on the phone in the foreign currency market to appreciate his assets, and the rest of the time he is staring at ATV, ATV's current "Love to Fight to Win" has been a huge success, and sponsors are surrounding the producer with a lot of money, just seeking to use their products as prizes to enhance the popularity of their products. And I heard that Shao Lao Liu has broken three teacups for this matter.

"Kang Shaopin Three Kingdoms" Once launched, it caused an uproar, for a time all the major newspapers in Hong Kong were commenting on the Three Kingdoms, Kang Shao's name was once again famous in Hong Kong, people who can read through the Three Kingdoms are basically people with a little knowledge, and there is a very strong argument between Kang Shao's views right and wrong, but Ye Chengkang is very happy, and someone will chase after him if he can comment, Xuan Wei is a professor, forty or fifty years old, but he really likes the Three Kingdoms, and the literary level is enough, and the words he says make people instinctively believe a few points, plus the fun, he has been loved by many literati and idlers。 The more reviews in the newspapers, the more people sought the original and "Kang Shaopin Three Kingdoms" on TV, and even the various editions of "Romance of the Three Kingdoms" in bookstores were very popular.

What really makes Ye Chengkang happy is the change of ATV TV employees, in the past, all kinds of employees did not see hope when Lishi was liquidated, and they only thought about finding a way out after Lishi liquidated, and now ATV TV has turned a profit in just a few months, and the corpse vegetarian people are almost gone, and now all kinds of employees are promoted and reused to varying degrees, and Li Zhuanglie and Xu Xiaoming themselves are very familiar with Lishi's former employees, and now there is a teamwork plan proposed by Ye Chengkang that has been officially implemented, and Li Zhuanglie, Xu Xiaoming implements it very well, in itself, the TV station is the cooperation between various small teams, and now the small team is a formal unit, so that there is competition between the small teams, but the people in the team are extremely united, and the people who do not fit in have long been accepted by the team. Xu Xiaoming has Ye Chengkang's funds in his hands, and he is not stingy, the team with good performance can get funds, and under the stimulation of money, ATV has radiated another kind of vitality. Li Zhuanglie has completed the production of "Huo Yuanjia", and there are still three days to be screened, and now he has sorted out the three-minute film in the ATV rolling playback, and "The Great Wall Will Never Fall" written and composed by Ye Chengkang is sung by Rib, the single was released the day before yesterday, listening to the response of the marketing department that the goods have been sold, Ye Chengkang's estimation will always be so accurate.

Three days later, "Huo Yuanjia" was broadcast, which caused Shao Laoliu to be furious, because when "Huo Yuanjia" was broadcast, TVB's ratings hit a new low, less than 5%, and it is conceivable how many TV stations in Hong Kong are watching "Huo Yuanjia".

Entrusted by Ye Chengkang, Jin Yong wrote a comment on watching "Huo Yuanjia" in the newspaper the next day, which made the ratings of "Huo Yuanjia" rise steadily, and almost dominated all TV in that period.

Jin Yong wrote in the commentary: Huo Yuanjia (1868-1910), a native of Xiaonanhe Village, Jingwu Town, Xiqing District, Tianjin, was a patriotic martial artist, the word Junqing, three brothers, and the second in line. His ancestral home is Anletun, Dongguang County, Hebei Province. Father Horndi, the sixth generation of Lost Trace Boxing, often goes in and out of the Northeast as a dart master for merchants, and is quite famous. Huo Yuanjia is the seventh generation of Lost Trace Boxing. In 1909, he became famous in Shanghai and founded the Jingwu Sports Association, cultivating a large number of martial arts talents, and making outstanding contributions to strengthening the national physique and inheriting the martial arts culture. On January 19, 1869 (the seventh day of December in the lunar calendar, 1868), Huo Yuanjia was born in Xiaonanhe Village, Jinghai County, Hebei Province (now Jingwu Town, Xiqing District, Tianjin City), the Huo family. Huo Yuanjia ranked fourth in the big ranking, his physique was weak at an early age, and he did not have the "potential" to practice martial arts, and his father was afraid that he would ruin the reputation of the Huo family and forbade him to practice martial arts. The stubborn Huo Yuanjia embarked on the process of stealing and practicing his own martial arts-Lost Trace Boxing. With Huo Yuanjia's hard work, his martial arts have improved rapidly. There is no impermeable wall, and Huo Yuanjia still let his father know about his secret martial arts. His father reprimanded him harshly and ordered him not to practice martial arts again. But Huo Yuanjia did not stop his pursuit of martial arts because of this, he just promised his father that he would never compete with anyone and would never embarrass the Huo family. In 1890, a martial artist came to Xiaonanhe to exchange skills. Huo Yuanjia's younger brother Huo Yuanqing, who has always practiced martial arts and has good martial arts, communicated with the seekers, but he was not the opponent of the other party. Seeing this, Huo Endi knew that he had encountered a strong opponent and was about to go into battle in person, when suddenly Huo Yuanjia stood up. When Huo Yuanjia saw Huo Yuanjia coming up, he was angry. But it's too late to stop it. Huo Yuanjia had already started to fight with the comer. Looking at it, Horndy couldn't help but be angry and happy. Huo Yuanjia is every step of the way, boxing and fisting. Seeing the opportunity, Huo Yuanjia dived forward, picked up the person in the future, and threw it out. This scene surprised Horndy and all the brothers and sisters. At this time, Huo Yuanjia had grown into a martial artist who could write and martial arts, and had a glimpse of the essence of the Huo family's "Lost Trace Boxing". In the twenty-first year of Guangxu (1895), near the Lunar New Year, Huo Yuanjia picked firewood to sell in the city, ready to exchange a few dollars for the New Year. At this time, Huo Yuanjia had already married a wife and had children, and his life was not rich. In order to make a few more money, others generally pick up firewood for one hundred and fifty or sixty catties, but Huo Yuanjia relied on his own strength, carried three or four hundred catties, and walked dozens of miles to Tianjin Wei. Huo Yuanjia had just arrived at the west end of the west outside the Weixi Gate in Tianjin, and before it opened, he met a "gangster" who wanted "land money" and "shoulder money". As a last resort, Huo Yuanjia threw the little gangster on his back and turned him to the sky. Seeing that the situation was not good, the thugs got up and ran away. It didn't take much effort, and he recruited dozens of people. Each with a knife and a gun, came to take revenge. Huo Yuanjia didn't hurry up, took out his flat pole and beat them to the head. All this was seen by Boss Feng, the shopkeeper of the foot shop. He bought all of Huo Yuanjia's firewood and asked Huo Yuanjia to come to Tianjin to take over the business. After Huo Yuanjia took over, he successively canceled many funds that extorted money from the people and won the popularity of the people. During his stay in Tianjin Wei, Huo Yuanjia got acquainted with Nong Jinsun, the shopkeeper of Huaiqing (Huaiqing) Pharmacy. Nong Jinsun, the name bamboo, the word Jinsun, was born in Manchu, originally from Hebei, and loves martial arts. When he was a child, his father was an official in Hubei, so he grew up in Hubei. He studied in Japan, and after returning to China, he was ordered by Sun Yat-sen to be active in the area of Tianjin and Beijing. Under the cover of purchasing medicinal materials, he made friends with revolutionary aspirants, and Huo Yuanjia was one of them. After Huo Yuanjia lost his job, he was invited by Nong Jinsun to come to the Huaiqing Pharmacy located in Zhugang Lane outside the North Gate, and was deeply affected by Nong Jinsun's patriotic plot. In the spring of 1909, the British Hercules Opiin came to Shanghai at the Apollo Theatre at No. 52 North Sichuan Road, "performing weightlifting, exposing muscles and bodybuilding, about 20 minutes, for several nights, and finally said that he was willing to wrestle with the Chinese." In his speech, he said with some contempt, and the next day he appeared in the newspapers, and the people of Shanghai were in an uproar. So Chen Youmei, Nong Jinsun, Chen Tiesheng, Chen Gongzhe and others "wanted to hire skilled fighters to take the stage and compete to show their yellow soul." Huo Yuanjia received the invitation and rushed to Shanghai with his apprentice Liu Zhensheng in March 1909 to discuss the martial arts competition, and agreed to "use wrestling to win or lose by falling to the ground". As a result, the promoters began to raise funds to build a "four feet high, twenty feet wide" ring in Zhang's Weixu Garden (Zhang Yuan) on Jing'an Temple Road in Shanghai. At 4 p.m. in mid-June, the time for the game had arrived, but Opiyin did not come. In this way, Huo Yuanjia became famous in Shanghai. After the "Zhang Yuan competition", Huo Yuanjia's master and apprentice conducted "research" with the Japanese "on the principle of not harming", and since then, "Shanghai people know more about the martial arts function of Yuanjia, if it is not spread, it is a pity." So, in 1909, the Jingwu Gymnastics School was established, and Liu Zhensheng served as an assistant teacher. As a result, the Huo family's lost trace boxing began to spread to the society on a large scale and was made public to the world without reservation. But the good times did not last long, Huo Yuanjia had an attack of hemoptysis and died on September 14, 1910 (the eleventh day of the eighth month of the lunar calendar). After Huo Yuanjia's death, Huo Yuanjia's family and his followers Chen Gongzhe, Lu Weichang and others carried forward the national soul of "refinement" and "martial arts", invigorated the national spirit, and actively promoted the development of Jingwu sports. It was the long-cherished wish of the Jingwu ancestors to establish the Jingwu Sports Association in Huo Yuanjia's hometown, but due to various reasons in history, this wish was only realized after the reform and opening up. On June 30, 1990, the Tianjin Jingwu Sports Association, which was located in Huo Yuanjia's hometown Xiaonanhe, was finally established.

The drama "Huo Yuanjia" vividly depicts the legendary life of Huo Yuanjia, a famous martial artist in the late Qing Dynasty: he abandoned the view of the door, learned from the strengths of all families, and founded the "Jingwu Sports Association", which attached great importance to the general interests of the nation and devoted himself to the unity of the Chinese martial arts circles; in the era of national danger and invasion by foreign powers, he crisscrossed the north and south of the country, repeatedly defeated foreign martial artists and wrestlers with his superb martial arts, fought for the people, and was ashamed of the country, which greatly stimulated the national self-confidence and patriotic enthusiasm of the Chinese people.

As soon as Jin Yong's comment came out, it attracted many literati to respond, and for a while, "Huo Yuanjia" completely became famous in Hong Kong, and the reputation of screenwriter Kang Shao reached a higher level.
