The filming at the villa at No. 4 Repulse Bay Road has been going on for more than half a month. We will shoot for another half day tomorrow, and only the scene in the school will be left. Finally, we will finish the shoot with a few more shots.
Since there was no night scene today, we ended work early at 9pm. The elderly creative staff like Wu Chenggang and Huang Xia went directly to their rooms to sleep after work because they were very tired from filming these days.
I just have the opportunity to have a good rest tonight.
As for Zhou Xingchi, Ye Zimei and other young people, they gathered in the living room to chat and watch TV. Later, they would have a bowl of wonton noodles as a late night snack.
Of course, the TV was playing Phoenix TV programs. Anyone who dared to watch TVB in Kang Jianfei's villa was really seeking death.
What was playing at this time was the historical drama "Wu Zetian" starring Feng Baobao. This drama had just aired its third episode, and it actually made Zhou Xingchi and others very happy to watch it.
"Here comes the wonton noodles!" Lao Jin, the housekeeper, came out holding a bowl of noodles, followed by his wife and a maid.
Tonight's wonton noodles are regarded as Kang Jianfei's personal treat and are not included in the film's production fee. He is still willing to spend this little money.
More than ten bowls of wonton noodles were brought out one after another, and the appetizing aroma instantly filled the living room.
Mao Shunyun didn't care about her ladylike image at all, and actually competed with Zhou Xingchi on who could finish the wonton noodles first. The two idiots were burned until their tongues were numb and they didn't stop to take a break.
"Mr. Kang!"
"Good director."
"boss."
"..."
Suddenly, everyone in the living room stood up, but Kang Jianfei came in, and everyone stood up to greet him.
Kang Jianfei found an empty seat and sat down, smiling: "You eat what you have, don't worry about me."
At this time, "Wu Zetian" had finished broadcasting on TV, and the ending song of the TV series was playing. But it seemed that because of Kang Jianfei's presence, everyone else was watching the subtitles of the TV series honestly and did not chat with each other. The scene was a bit awkward for a while.
Perhaps Huang Tailai had a keen eye and broke the silence and asked: "Boss, has the ratings of "Wu Zetian" exceeded 50 points?"
Huang Tailai was born in a film family. He was also a producer at Phoenix TV, but he has been transferred to DreamWorks as a photographer for one year, and he will be promoted to director in the second half of the year at most.
Kang Jianfei smiled happily: "It's not that fast. It's only the third episode. It just broke 40 points yesterday."
Zhou Xingchi responded: "The 40-point rating has already surpassed TVB's "Drawing the Rainbow", right?"
"Drawing the Rainbow" is a fashion drama starring Jim Bingxi and Maggie Cheung. The drama also has Lu Liangwei, Liu Qingyun and Lan Jieying as supporting roles. It is a drama created by TVB to promote Jim Bingxi and Maggie Cheung. Although this TV series has a good plot,
But it is still far from being compared with Phoenix Channel's "Wu Zetian". Feng Baobao's fame alone can boost the ratings of "Wu Zetian" by a large margin.
Phoenix Channel's program ratings surpassed TVB's. Kang Jianfei was naturally happy. He said: "The highest ratings of "Drawing the Rainbow" is 38 points, which is still a little worse than our "Wu Zetian"."
Others in the living room also reacted and began to flatter Kang Jianfei. According to them, it was only a matter of time before Phoenix TVB was crushed by TVB. In two years, TVB would not even be able to support Phoenix TVB.
In fact, generally speaking, the ratings of the two TV stations in recent quarters are not much different, and TVB TVB even has a slight advantage. Although some time ago, Phoenix TV's "Bao Qingtian" and "He Comes from Jianghu" both received Changhong ratings.
, but last month TVB's "The Swordsman" starring Andy Lau and Chen Xiuzhu, because it has a huge fan base of Jin Yong, once again defeated Phoenix TV in the ratings.
However, when it comes to the income of the two TV stations, because Phoenix Channel implements the system of separation of production and broadcasting, operating costs are greatly reduced, so the profit is higher than that of TVB. (Separation of production and broadcasting is not a panacea. The increase in Phoenix Channel’s profits is actually due to the separation of TV production and broadcasting.
The cost was passed on to DreamWorks and Oriental Entertainment. Although DreamWorks TV Production Department produced several high-rating TV series last year, it lost more than 1.2 million in total. This year, due to the purchase of repeatable camcorders,
The production cost of TV series has been greatly reduced, so it should be able to break even.)
Kang Jianfei did not come to the living room just to "have fun with the people" and listen to compliments. Shortly after "Wu Zetian" ended, "Qiang Qiang Threesome" hosted by Yu Zheng finally started airing.
"Threesome" has been on the air for more than a year. At its peak, the ratings only reached 18%, which is generally only about 10%. Compared with other programs in the same period, it is not outstanding - to be precise
, which has the lowest ratings among the programs in the same period.
However, in the eyes of white-collar workers, intellectuals, and students, "Qiang Qiang Threesome" is a must-see talk show every episode, and it has a very good reputation.
Yu Zheng's hair is now shorter than when she first joined Phoenix TV. In addition, she wears a pair of black-rimmed glasses, which makes it even more difficult to distinguish between male and female.
"Hello everyone, it's time for the "Qiang Qiang Threesome" every Tuesday again," Yu Zheng sat in the middle. After finishing his opening remarks, he began to introduce the guest hosts on both sides. "Today we have two distinguished guests. On my left
This is Ms. Yi Shu, a famous female writer in Hong Kong, and Mr. Huang Zhan, a talented musician who laughs and scolds those who are not doing well."
Huang Zhan was unhappy and said: "Oh, Yu Zheng, it's my first time to do a show, and you scold me for not being upright. Are you too anxious?"
Yi Shu chimed in: "Compared to my brother, Mr. Huang is still very modest and a gentleman."
"Hahaha," Yu Zheng couldn't help laughing, and then said to the camera, "I hope Mr. Ni Jiang didn't watch Phoenix TV's program tonight."
Regardless of the brother-sister relationship, Yi Shu continued to expose Ni Jiang's shortcomings: "My brother must be working on the manuscript at night. Hasn't Mr. Kang's new book not been released yet? Why doesn't he write more now?"
Huang Zhan looked gloating and said with a smile: "Fortunately you are not my sister. Brother Ni is really unlucky."
Seeing that the two people were talking more and more outrageously, Yu Zheng quickly brought the topic back and said: "The speeches of the two guests just now do not belong to the position of this station. Please forgive me, Mr. Ni Jiang. We invite two talented men and women to come today mainly because they want to
Let’s talk about beauty pageants. What do you think of beauty pageants?”
Huang Zhan's expression was a bit mean. He smiled and said: "As the saying goes, beauty is good for food. Anyway, when I watch beauty pageants, I mainly go to beauties. How can I usually see so many beauties gathering together?"
Yi Shu's mouth was much more venomous. She said: "Actually, I hate beauty contests. The annual Miss Hong Kong contest reminds me of the ancient emperor's talent show. More than a dozen beauties walked around the stage in swimsuits, exposing themselves for the following.
A group of men are judging and rating women, which is simply treating women as a kind of commodity. In the final analysis, it is a form of discrimination against women."
"Hey, I don't agree with your point of view," Huang Zhan immediately retorted, "It's undeniable that some men watch beauty pageants with a dirty mentality, but you can't deny the positive significance of beauty pageants. It's like holding more than ten
In the 2016 Miss Hong Kong contest, it was not about selecting the most beautiful woman as the champion, but also taking into account the temperament and connotation of the contestants, so now Miss Hong Kong has become a city cultural symbol of Hong Kong."
Seeing that the two people's views were completely different, Yu Zheng was afraid that they would choke in front of the camera, so he quickly changed the subject and said, "Have you heard that Phoenix TV Station is also going to hold a beauty pageant called the Miss Oriental Beauty Pageant?"
"Of course I've heard about it. Who in Hong Kong doesn't know about this?" Huang Zhan picked up the cup with the words "Nescafe" printed on it on the table and drank it.
Yi Shu said: "I've heard about it too, but I don't think Mr. Kang needs to join in the fun. Instead of worrying about beauty pageants, it's better to make two more good-looking movies. By the way, I want to say that Mr. Kang's movies are getting more and more popular."
It has become commercialized, and these two recent movies don’t have the same feeling as when I first watched "Dao Ma Dan"."
Yu Zheng could only respond with a wry smile. She felt that her words were sharp enough, but she did not have the vicious mouth of Yi Shu. She quickly picked up a newspaper and started the topic by saying: "The Miss Oriental Beauty Pageant is the biggest competition between the Miss Oriental Beauty Pageant and the Miss Hong Kong Beauty Pageant.
The difference is that it has no nationality or age restrictions on applicants. Please take a look. This is the newspaper from Sing Tao Daily the day before yesterday. The four applicants for the beauty pageant in the photo have an average age of over 45 years old. I would like to ask two questions
What do the guests think of this matter?"
Huang Zhan leaned on the chair and leaned forward casually and said, "I don't have any opinion. You can choose whatever the organizer stipulates."
Yu Zheng said: "But look at the title of "Sing Tao Daily": "Beauty Contest or Auntie Club", some people think that this kind of beauty pageant is disgusting to the audience."
Huang Zhan shook his head and said: "I don't think this is to disgust the audience, on the contrary, it is to respect women. Women's beauty is everywhere. It transcends age and appearance. It depends on whether you have eyes that can discover beauty."
Yi Shu was not as mysterious as Huang Zhan said. She was a feminist and said sharply: "Auntie is not a woman. People who say that allowing Auntie to sign up for beauty pageants are disgusting the audience, I will ask how old your mother is.
Now that you are old, do you usually feel sick when you see your mother?"
The reason why "Qiang Qiang Threesome" invites Yi Shu and Huang Zhan as guests in this issue is actually very obvious, that is, to deliberately focus on women's rights.
Needless to say, Yi Shu, in her novels, she often warns women to be independent and that men are unreliable, and she has more or less feminist ideas. As for Huang Zhan, a salty guy, even if he likes beautiful women in his heart, he will definitely
You have to support women righteously, otherwise you will have to wait to go home and kneel on the washboard of Lin Lin's talented women.
The three people on the TV were still talking nonsense, but Kang Jianfei laughed with satisfaction. I think the newspapers in the next few days will be very exciting. (To be continued. If you like this work, you are welcome to come to Qidian () to vote for recommendation.
