A BMW drove into the townhouse. After parking, the driver immediately got out of the car and opened the door. He smiled ingratiatingly and said, "Boss, we're home."
"Oh, so fast?" The boss in the back seat, wearing a suit and slicked-back hair, opened his eyes and responded before slowly getting out of the car.
This extremely impressive boss is Li Saifeng's father, Li Qiming. Two days ago, this man looked like a grandson in front of Kang Jianfei, but in the blink of an eye, he became an old man and looked like a very successful person.
The driver helped the drunk Li Qiming to the door and asked: "Boss, should I pick you up at the same time tomorrow?"
Li Qiming shook his head to wake up and said: "I have an appointment with Boss Zhang for dinner tomorrow at noon to discuss business. Remember to pick me up at 11 o'clock to take me to Fulinmen."
"Okay, shall I go first?" the driver asked.
"Go ahead." Li Qiming waved his hand and suddenly added, "Tomorrow you go pick up Xiaoyuan first. Boss Zhang likes to chat with her."
Xiaoyuan is Li Qiming's "female secretary". The driver despised his boss in his heart, smiled and nodded in agreement.
Li Qiming drunkenly walked into his living room and found his wife and several children watching TV after dinner. He asked, "Amei hasn't come back yet?"
"I called back and said that the crew has to work overtime today. She is the heroine and she can't leave even if she wants to. Oh, you smell like alcohol. Why are you going to drink again!" Li Qiming's wife is a traditional housewife.
Although he complained, he quickly fetched hot water for him to wash his face, and then made him a cup of sobering tea.
"We are socializing, how can we discuss business without drinking?" Li Qiming said, feeling very anxious. "The negotiations between the Communist Party and the British people don't know when they will end. This year, Hong Kong's property market finally recovered a little strength, and the collapse was worse than last year.
It’s so awesome, who dares to open a house and build a house now? My decoration company doesn’t even have any business anymore, so I can only make a little money from home decoration and decoration for my new company.”
Li Qiming's wife said worriedly: "I think it's better to sell the houses in your hands. I heard that once the negotiations break down, the Communist Party will come over with tanks. At that time, all properties will be confiscated."
Let’s sell the house as soon as possible so that we can take the money and go to Taiwan for a while.”
"A woman's opinion!" Li Qiming said angrily, "Hong Kong's property market was brought down by people like you! I bought the houses for more than 6 million, and now no one is willing to sell them for even 3 million."
Li's wife muttered: "I told you not to buy so many houses. It would be nice if you kept all the money in the bank. You are speculating in real estate and stocks, but now it's better. You have bought both. Banks come to buy houses every day."
The loan. If my daughter hadn’t advanced the money, our whole family would have to sleep on the street!"
Li Qiming burst out with anger: "Am I doing it for myself? I didn't work hard to make money just for you, my son, and my daughter! It's better now. If you lose money, you will blame me alone. Why did you use the money I made before so smoothly? You
If you dare, move out and sleep on the street now, this house was bought with my money!"
"Oh, you guys are annoying me so much. If you want to make a noise, go back to your room and make a noise. "Bao Qingtian" is about to start!" Li Qiming's youngest son said impatiently.
Li Qiming still doted on his two sons. When his son complained, he glared at his wife and immediately shut up and watched TV with a smile.
"Why don't you watch TVB's "The Legend of Bao Gong"?" Li Qiming glanced at the channel logo and asked. He is a loyal viewer of "The Legend of Bao Gong". Although he only watches an episode every now and then, he will watch it whenever he has time.
"What do you know?" the younger son said ostentatiously, "The leading actors of "Bao Qingtian" appeared on "60 Minutes" yesterday. Zhan Zhao played by He Jiajin is so handsome, a few blocks better than Zhan Zhao from TVB."
“May there be a blue sky in the world, and may the sun be visible every day;
Redden my heart, tan my face, and teach me to find goodness in the world."
While the father and son were talking, the Cantonese version of the theme song of "Bao Qingtian" had already started playing. The Cantonese version of the theme song was the same as the Mandarin version of "There Was a Bao Qingtian in Kaifeng". Kang Jianfei only remembered the first few lines and the following ones.
All lyrics are completed by professional lyricists.
"Bring someone to commit the crime!"
"mighty"
"Abandoning high halls, occupying ancestral property, colluding with bandits, and forcing good girls to become prostitutes in the land of fish and meat. Capturing people for extortion, despising the king's laws, and destroying human relations are deserving of death. The law cannot be tolerated and the crimes cannot be pardoned, so they must all be executed."
"Someone is coming!"
"exist!"
"Served with a guillotine head!"
"Sir, please spare my life!"
"Open the guillotine!"
As soon as the word "guillotine" came out of his mouth and he saw the sharp guillotine cutting it, Li Qiming immediately woke up from his drunken state.
The main reason is that the dog-headed guillotine is too scary. In the past, the most common thing in movies and TV series was to behead people. How could one use a guillotine to chop people? Even if there were people filming like this before, the props of the guillotine were just like that. However, in the Phoenix TV series, the dog-headed guillotine was used.
It's done vividly, and the cold light of the guillotine makes people feel chills on the back of their necks.
Coupled with the government servants holding water and fire sticks shouting "mighty", Bao Zheng's dark face, and the ups and downs of the opera, "Bao Qingtian" left an extremely deep impression on the audience from just the beginning.
"This is Bao Qingtian!" Li Qiming patted the armrest of the sofa and said. Although he only watched the TV series for a few minutes, he felt that Bao Qingtian should look like what he saw on TV.
On the other hand, Li Qiming's wife, as the plot progressed, kept scolding Chen Shimei on TV for abandoning his wife for glory and wealth. Both of them were attracted by this TV series.
Not only the Li family, but also all Hong Kong viewers who changed the channel to Phoenix Chinese Channel did not change the channel again to watch other programs.
In another time and space, when "Bao Qingtian" was the most popular in the 1990s, if you went to Vietnam, Thailand, Myanmar, Indonesia, Malaysia, Singapore, Taiwan, Hong Kong and other places, if you found that you had nothing in common with the local Chinese, then
You can choose to talk about the TV series "Bao Qingtian", and your communication will definitely be very harmonious.
"Meteor Garden" is popular all over Asia, but that's just because young people like to watch it. "Bao Qingtian" is among the Chinese groups in Asia, and it is killing both men and women, old and young.
There is injustice in the world, and everyone is looking forward to a clear day to pray for the people, and the story of Bao Gong has a profound influence among the Chinese, so it caused such a big sensation.
Fang Yihua looked at the TV in a daze, and her first reaction was to scream inwardly that it was terrible.
Not to mention anything else, TVB's "The Legend of Bao Gong" was blown away by Phoenix TV's "Bao Qingtian" just in terms of costumes and styling.
But these are all trivial details. Fang Yihua looked at this TV series from a professional perspective, and the most eye-catching one is Jin Chaoqun's interpretation of Bao Gong.
Some successful film and television works rely on the script and director's ability, and it doesn't matter who plays the protagonist. However, the actors of some film and television works cannot be changed. Once they are replaced, they will lose seven points of their appeal. For example, Wang Zuxian's "
"A Chinese Ghost Story". For example, Jin Chaoqun's "Bao Qingtian".
"Kang Jianfei found another treasure this time!" Fang Yihua said with resentment. Not long after Phoenix Channel started planning to shoot "Bao Qingtian", Fang Yihua already knew that the leading actor Jin Chaoqun was a third-rate actor in Taiwan. At that time, she was still
He laughed at Phoenix Tower for not knowing whether to live or die, but now he can't even laugh.
Fortunately, Zhan Zhao will not appear until the second episode, otherwise Fang Yihua would probably be even more depressed, because another highlight in "Bao Qingtian" is Zhan Zhao. At that time, Zhan Zhao made many ignorant girls blush.
Since the broadcast of "Bao Qingtian", in the minds of Chinese people everywhere, Bao Zheng should look like Jin Chaoqun, and Zhan Zhao should look as handsome as Jiajing.
After watching only half an episode of "Bao Qingtian", Fang Yihua sighed and dialed the phone and said: "Ah Sheng, prepare to film "The Legend of the Condor Heroes" immediately!"
On the other end of the phone was Xiao Sheng, who had switched jobs from LiTV to TVB. He didn't have time to watch Phoenix Channel's "Bao Qingtian", so he didn't know the specific situation. He only said: ""The Strange Case of Bao Gong" will be broadcast for another half month.
Well, I’ll be there next week”
"I'll give you two days to prepare. I'm going to see "The Legend of the Condor Heroes" premiere in three days!" Fang Yihua directly interrupted Xiao Sheng, "The actor Liu Dehua, the heroine Chen Yulian, and you choose the actors for other roles yourself!"
"Okay!" Xiao Sheng was silent for a few seconds, and then agreed.
"Mr. Huang, the premiere ratings of "Bao Qingtian" are 52 points!"
The assistant burst into Huang Xizhao's office excitedly. Huang Xizhao didn't bother to blame her for not following the rules, and asked happily: "Is it really 52 o'clock?"
"Really, our first broadcast surpassed TVB's "The Legend of Bao Gong". The ratings of the second episode are still being calculated, and it is likely to exceed 60 points." The female assistant held a pile of newspapers and placed them on Huang Xizhao
On the table. "Look, Mr. Huang, the headlines of the entertainment pages of several major newspapers are "Bao Qingtian"!"
Phoenix TV's ratings in the past two months have been beaten by wireless stations. Huang Xizhao is still a little anxious. At the same time, he can't help but criticize Kang Jianfei for splitting the program production department. Since the reform of the TV station, Huang Xizhao, Zhong Jinghui and Kang Jianfei have all
They have become much estranged, and the relationship between them is almost just that of employer and employee.
However, for Phoenix TV, Huang Xizhao has to admit that the separation of production and broadcasting has reduced the cost of the TV station by more than half. The profit in the first quarter of this year alone is equivalent to the full-year profit of LiTV when it was at its most prosperous, let alone LiTV.
It is in the red one third of the time.
Intellectually, Huang Xizhao approves of Kang Jianfei's reform of the TV station, but emotionally, he always feels that the current Phoenix TV station is a TV station that is missing a heart and is structurally incomplete.
After reading a few newspapers slowly and casually, Huang Xizhao found that all the reports were praising "Bao Qingtian". Even the writers who were known for their vicious tongues all unanimously praised "Bao Qingtian" this time.
When the ratings for the second episode of "Bao Qingtian" were calculated, everyone was dumbfounded. The ratings jumped from 52% in the first episode to 67%.
TVB's so-called "The Legend of Bao Gong" has become a joke in front of "Bao Qingtian", and Jin Chaoqun, who plays Bao Zheng, has also suddenly jumped from an unknown Taiwanese actor to one of the most popular TV actors in Hong Kong.
TVB's ratings dropped sharply. Fang Yihua simply cut off "The Legend of Bao Gong" in half. When the fourth episode of "Bao Qingtian" was broadcasting, "The Legend of the Condor Heroes" starring Andy Lau and Chen Yulian was urgently broadcast.
The dropped ratings have stabilized.
On the other hand, Phoenix TV is making a lot of advertising money due to the high ratings of "Bao Qingtian". DreamWorks' marketing department has also begun to contact overseas TV stations to prepare to advance the filming of "Bao Qingtian".
Sell it out.
The first one to respond was the Singapore TV station. Its owner, Mediacorp, has been cooperating with film companies and TV stations in Hong Kong. After "Bao Qingtian" became a hit in Hong Kong's ratings, Mediacorp took the initiative to buy "Bao Qingtian".
of Singapore broadcast rights.
However, there is a problem when selling to Taiwan, because Phoenix TV has spoken for the mainland many times on news and talk shows, causing the Taiwan Information Bureau to blacklist Phoenix TV. Although DreamWorks has repeatedly explained that "Bao Qingtian"
It is a drama produced by DreamWorks Television Production Department and has nothing to do with Phoenix TV. However, the Information Bureau is still reluctant and does not allow "Bao Qingtian" to enter Taiwan at all.
Fortunately, "God of Gamblers" finally passed the censorship and will be released across Taiwan in half a month. (To be continued.
