In the original timeline, this was released by Wireless in 1979.
A gangster-themed TV series directed by Zhao Zhenqiang, Tan Ruiming and others, starring Chow Yun-fat, Zhao Yazhi and Lui Liangwei.
How popular is this TV series?
In the 1990s, TVB held a selection event with the theme of "Top Ten TV Series of the 1980s".
The selection rule is that citizens vote through mailboxes, and the results are selected based on the percentage of votes received.
In the end, "Shanghai Beach" ranked first.
This is enough to illustrate the excellence of the TV series "Shanghai Beach".
But in this timeline.
Directors Zhao Zhenqiang and Tan Ruiming were poached from Wireless by [Li’s] early on.
Actors such as Chow Yun-fat and Zhao Yazhi were also included in the company by Cao Weidong.
Naturally.
"Shanghai Beach" was also naturally filmed by [Li's TV Station].
And it became Cao Weidong’s trump card against the July offensive of [Wireless] and [Jiashi].
In addition, out of some bad taste, Cao Weidong gave actors such as Zheng Shaoqiu, Luo Jialiang (played by Xu Jiali in the Man of Heaven and Earth), Huang Rihua (played by Guo Jing in the 83rd version of The Legend of the Condor Heroes), (played by Yang Kang in the 83rd version of The Legend of the Condor Heroes), as well as little Stephen Chow,
Actors such as Tony Leung Chiu-wai have all arranged their roles.
If we look at it in future generations, this TV series will definitely be star-studded.
This is an "Easter egg" left by Cao Weidong for movie fans.
I believe that when the years change and "Shanghai on the Bund" becomes a symbol of time that remains in people's hearts, and the actors shine in their respective fields, if any movie fans can revisit "Shanghai on the Bund", they will definitely exclaim.
"Holy shit! He actually acted in this TV series?"
Cao Weidong felt that this must be a very interesting thing.
Of course, this is a bit far away for him.
Cao Weidong is currently only concerned about whether LiTV's version of "Shanghai Beach" can break through?
He pays close attention to changes in ratings.
......
As the last ray of sunset dissipated in the sky, the night covered the entire land like a snare.
The night in Hong Kong City is gorgeous, but also boring at the same time.
For the vast majority of Hong Kong citizens, watching TV is their only pastime.
At night, citizens turned on the TV one after another, and then unanimously tuned to Li's TV station.
Earlier today, Li's TV station released news, announcing that a new TV series would be broadcast tonight.
The name is "Shanghai Beach".
It is said that it is a TV series about gangsters that takes place in the old society.
[Li's] has always been famous for its martial arts dramas, urban dramas, and comedies. Why did it film a gangster-themed TV series this time? Can this TV series be watched?
The citizens are constantly feeling sad.
But when I think about it, this is the first statement issued by [Lide] after [Jiashi] and [TVB] announced their joint efforts to block [Lide]. Coupled with the reputation and credibility of [Lide]’s previous TV programs, I think
Reasonably, the citizens decided to give [Li's] a chance to see what this "Shanghai Beach" is like.
The time is on time until seven o'clock.
After the advertisement screen, as the ups and downs of the theme song of the same name played, a story that took place in old Shanghai slowly began.
.......
Shanghai is known as the "Adventurer's Paradise", a place full of luxury and sophisticated tastes.
Xu Wenqiang, played by Chow Yun-fat, is in ragged clothes and looks haggard, arriving in Shanghai alone.
As a college student in Peking, Xu Wenqiang not only lost his lover but also his freedom during the student unrest. After three years in prison, he decided to go to Shanghai to fight for his future.
By chance, he met the poor pear vendor Ding Li, and the two became friends.
After obtaining a place to settle down, Xu Wenqiang found his old classmate, Shanghai socialite Fang Yanyun, and with her help, he entered the Shanghai gang. With his perseverance and courageous style, he stood out and finally became the leader of the party in a rebellion...<
/p>
.......
Bai Luo is a middle-aged man in his thirties, who lives a two-point and one-line life. He is trapped in the trivial matters of life all day long, which is boring and boring.
He likes to watch catwalk performances, funny and relaxing variety shows, Jin and Gu’s martial arts TV series, and modern dramas about workplace struggles...
Gangster drama?
Sorry, he refused from the bottom of his heart.
What's the point of this kind of TV series?
His wife was washing dishes in the public sink in the yard, and the child was doing homework in the next room. Bai Luo changed the program to a variety show on [Wireless], half-leaned on the sofa, and watched it with gusto.
But not long after he had watched it, his neighbor Aqiang knocked on the door and came in.
Aqiang is Bai Luo's childhood friend.
The two of them almost grew up together and lived close to each other. They often moved around. Although they are now married, they still have a very good relationship.
Aqiang was not polite when he saw Bai Luo and said eagerly.
"Change the channel quickly."
Bai Luo said reluctantly.
"Which channel should I change? It looks good to me."]
Aqiang said excitedly.
"You can watch variety shows at any time, but it is still important to watch "Shanghai Beach" now. Hurry, it will be over in a while."
"Wait a minute, Qiang Zai, what did you say you wanted to see just now, "Shanghai"?"
Monk Bai Luozhang was confused and confirmed doubtfully.
Aqiang explained.
"Yes, this TV series is so good and fast-paced. If I miss it for a while, I'm afraid I won't miss a wonderful moment."
"Oh, hurry up and change it. You will know after you see it yourself."
At Aqiang's urging, Bai Luo switched the TV to [Li's TV Station].
A few minutes later.
Bai Luo was so excited that he couldn't sit still.
This "Shanghai Beach" was so beautiful that he almost couldn't help but want to share it with his friends.
The same scene happened in the homes of countless Hong Kong citizens.
In just one episode, the brave and decisive Xu Wenqiang conquered the hearts of the audience.
The next day.
In the streets and alleys of Hong Kong City, voices discussing the plot of "Shanghai Bund" are almost everywhere.
Cao Weidong had just arrived at the company and before he could even sit down, Huang Xizhao ran in on his feet and was so excited that he started talking incoherently.
"Boss, it's popular! It's popular! This time we are really popular..."
Cao Weidong knew that Huang Xizhao was talking about "Shanghai Beach", so he smiled and said.
"Speak slowly, I'm listening."
Huang Xizhao calmed down for a while, and then said: "Weidong, you don't know, "Shanghai Bund" is completely popular. Now there are people talking about "Shanghai Bund" outside, and many viewers called in this morning.
Ask us to add more updates to "Shanghai Beach"."
Cao Weidong asked again.
"What about the ratings of the TV series? Have they been calculated?"
Huang Xizhao nodded hurriedly.
"Yes, the ratings of the first episode have reached 78%. It can be said that this is our best result this year."
TV ratings refer to the number of people or households watching a certain TV channel as a percentage of the total number of TV viewers or households during a certain period of time.
This means that 78% of the households with TVs in Hong Kong City were watching "Shanghai Beach" yesterday.
The so-called bans by [Wireless] and [Jiashi] have completely become a decoration in the face of this terrifying number.
A curve appeared on Cao Weidong's lips.
I don’t know how Mr. Shao and Mr. He will react when they hear the news?
