For many people in Hong Kong, today is actually a very ordinary day. Those who should go to work go to work, and those who should take a vacation continue to have fun. Many people do not feel that this day is any different.
But at the same time, today is a very special day for many people.
Because the three major TV stations in Hong Kong, TVB, Li's TV, and Jiayi TV will broadcast their new TV series at the same time during prime time tonight.
Moreover, these three companies also chose martial arts dramas.
What TVB is broadcasting is the novel "Celestial Silkworm Transformation" that has been serialized in the martial arts magazine "Jianghu". This novel has been uploaded and immediately attracted the attention of many Xiangjiang martial arts fans. Many people call this book "The Queen of Ancient Gold"
The best martial arts novel.
Moreover, this novel also ranked first in the annual martial arts newcomer list of "Jiang Hu" last year.
It can be said that the audience base is already there and the popularity is there.
The only thing that makes martial arts fans a little unhappy is that this TV series is actually starred by a newcomer.
Who is Lu Liangwei?
Never heard of it?
"Why wasn't Zhou Runfa cast?" Some fans of Zhou Runfa said unhappily.
"I think it would be good to have Liu Songren play the role of Yun Feiyang!" Liu Songren's fans are also complaining about their idol.
Discussions like this have actually spread within TVB.
There are also different opinions on this TV series within TVB.
This TV series is the first major production produced by Makoto Hsiung after he left TVB. People inside TVB especially know that the TVB is planning to use this TV series to suppress Li TV and Jiayi TV.
So many people doubt whether such a TV series can be successful.
"I asked, is there too much trust in Taili this time? In such a situation, Director Wang should be the one to go into battle? How did you get Mai Fangxiong's chip to be on top? Does Mai Fangxiong have the strength?
"
"Who knows? But I think this is also an attempt by Mr. Liang. Everyone knows that Mr. Liang hired Mai Tanxiong. He paid such a high price and has not made any contribution to Taili yet.
Well, does Mr. Liang also want Mai Fangxiong to take advantage of this battle to establish his authority in Taiwan?"
"It's possible, but I still feel that this matter is a bit too much. Although we all know Mai Fangxiong's ability, he actually used a new team this time. I have heard that Jiayi
Both the TV station and Li's TV station are their mainstays, can it be done now with a bunch of rookies in the TV station?"
"That's why I'm worried. Mr. Liang has finally managed to get the personnel in the station in order. If Mai Fangxiong loses now, it will not only be Mai Fangxiong who will be embarrassed, but also Mr. Liang's side!"
"It's useless for us to say anything now. All we can do is look at the ratings tonight!"
Discussions like this are taking place in every corner of TVB. Everyone is expressing their own opinions, and some screenwriters have come together to discuss the plot of the story.
"Have you ever read the script of the TV series "The Transformation of the Silkworm"?"
Several TVB screenwriters gathered together and discussed in low voices.
"No, Mai Fangxiong attaches great importance to this script, and it's a piece of paper. If you want to know the content of the story, you can only watch TV tonight!"
Flying paper is a professional term in the Xiangjiang entertainment industry. It means that there is no complete script, and you can only rush the script while filming. The only person who can master this skill very well is Wang Jing.
Andy Lau, Zhou Xingchi, "Tricky Experts" are just ten words, and they dared to make a movie. The key is to make a movie that is above the standard, and even created a pioneering work in the trickery genre.
I just want to ask you if you accept it?
"I think the story of this TV series shouldn't have much of a problem. I have read the novel "Celestial Silkworm Transformation". It is indeed a good novel and the story is exciting enough. To be honest, at this point, I
I really admire Jiayi TV.”
"When you say that, it's true that our station is broadcasting "Celestial Silkworm Transformation", and Li's TV is broadcasting a TV series adapted from Jin Yong's novel "Eternal Dragon Sword", but this Jiayi TV station is broadcasting its own original work.
script!"
After Zhou Liang Shuyi took over Jiayi TV Station, she tried her best to buy the copyright of Jin Yong and Gu Long's novels.
However, Gu Long ignored Jiayi TV at all and directly stated that all the copyrights of his novels had been sold to Chu Huan. On the contrary, Jin Yong was open to Jiayi TV purchasing the copyright.
Zhou Liang Shuyi wanted to buy all the copyrights of Jin Yong's novel at that time, but because Jiayi TV did not want to invest so much at one time, and they did not know what the ratings would be if Jin Yong's novel was adapted into a TV series.
So in the end, the board of directors of Jiayi TV just agreed to let Shuyi Chow make one film and buy another.
As a result, after TV series such as "The Legend of the Condor Heroes", "The Legend of the Condor Heroes" and "The Deer and the Cauldron" became popular on Jiayi TV, Shao Yifu took over Li's TV station and immediately relied on his relationship with Jin Yong.
I bought the rights to other novels in the past.
And now the TV series that Shao Yifu has come up with is "The Legend of Heaven and Dragon Sword" starring Zheng Shaoxi.
In another time and space, this TV series was produced by TVB, starring Zheng Shaoxuan, and the two female leads were Wang Mingquan and Zhao Yazhi.
In it, Wang Mingquan plays Zhao Min and Zhao Yazhi plays Zhou Zhiruo.
But it is definitely impossible now. Although Zheng Shaoxuan has had a good TV career, Wang Mingquan has not. Wang Mingquan is still the leading actress of TVB.
As for Zhao Yazhi, it is even more impossible. Although there is no distinction between movie stars and TV drama stars in Hong Kong at this time, Zhao Yazhi can now be regarded as the top female movie star in Hong Kong, coupled with her relationship with Chu Huan
, naturally it is impossible to go to Li's TV to film a TV series.
This chapter is not finished yet, please click the next page to continue reading the exciting content! At the same time, the behind-the-scenes changes of this TV series have also occurred. In another time and space, the producer and director of this TV series was Zhao Zhenqiang, and now Zhao Zhenqiang is still
Stay with TVB.
Therefore, this TV series only retains Zheng Shaoxu, and everyone else has changed.
In addition, it is Jiayi TV. I have to say that this Zhou Liang Shuyi is still very bold. Not only did she use all the assets of Jiayi TV to film TV series, but she also gave up the adaptation of Jin Yong's novel, which is Jiayi TV's most powerful weapon.
right.
It directly created an original martial arts theme.
And I heard it also has some fantasy elements.
"What on earth do Liang Shuyi think? Is this script really a good script that has never been produced before, or is Xu Ke really a very powerful director?"
To be honest, it was not only the writers of TVB who could not understand this situation, but also Liang Risi could not understand what Shuyi Zhou was thinking after learning about it!
Wang Tianlin sat opposite Liang Risi and said calmly: "Actually, Zhou Liang Shuyi has no other solution!"
Although Liang Risi now sits in the position of president of TVB, she has never been arrogant and complacent. She understands where her weakness lies, that is, she does have some gaps in the field of TV dramas compared to those veterans.
Therefore, Liang Risi still has great respect for the old people in the company, especially people like Wang Tianlin who have proven their abilities countless times.
It is precisely because Liang Risi has enough respect for the professionals in Taichung that she can smooth out the relationships in Taichung faster and better.
Many people believe that this time Liang Risi asked Mai Tanxiong to be the main force in the battle at Mount Wutai, because Liang Risi wanted to praise Mai Tanxiong who he had poached.
But in fact, what many people don't know is that when Liang Risi first knew that the war was about to start, the first person she looked for was Wang Tianlin.
It's just that at this time, Wang Tianlin was studying the story of "The Legend of Chu Liuxiang", so he didn't have time to work on the TV series at this time.
Then after Wang Tianlin read the script of "The Transformation of the Silkworm", he was very optimistic about the story, and even had a long talk with Mai Tanxiong. Finally, Wang Tianlin decided to release the TV series at this time.
Liang Risi looked at Wang Tianlin with some confusion and asked, "Director Wang, why do you say that?"
Wang Tianlin said: "Jiayi TV has been focusing on Jin Yong's martial arts dramas before. Although they have achieved some results, these results are not sensational. Moreover, Jiayi TV still releases Jin Yong's most popular martial arts novels.
The TV series adapted from it has actually proved that in normal times, the TV series adapted from Jin Yong’s martial arts might be able to bring normal ratings to Jiayi TV.
But at this moment, the normal ratings are obviously not enough to meet the needs of this war.
Previously, TVB and Li's TV jointly blocked Jiayi TV Station. Jiayi TV Station is now panicking. Under such circumstances, what Jiayi TV Station needs is a hit, because only after a hit appears, can it be possible?
In a short period of time, Jiayi TV Station proudly ranked first among the three TV stations.
It can also bring more confidence to the potential advertisers of Jiayi TV. If it remains the same as before, advertisers will naturally be more willing to advertise on our TVB or Li TV.
Now that Jin Yong's martial arts adaptation has proven to be incapable of doing so, Shu-Yi Chow can only take a big gamble on Xu Ke's new project.
This project may fail, but at the same time it may come out as a dark horse, so I say this is something that Shuyi Chou has no choice about!"
After hearing this, Liang Risi couldn't help but nod, "Director Wang, you'd better see this kind of thing through!"
Wang Tianlin did not feel complacent because of Liang Risi's praise. Instead, he said humbly: "This is just some experience. When Mr. Liang stays in this industry for a long time, you will know these things!"
Liang Risi nodded, and then said: "Director Wang, what do you think of Xu Ke and his new TV series?"
Wang Tianlin smiled modestly and said: "Mr. Liang, you think too highly of me. I have neither read the script nor seen the content of his new TV series. There is no way to speculate. But Xu Ke
I still pay some attention to this person. This is a person who is very thoughtful and even a little unreasonable. I can’t see through such a person. His works will either become hits or become experimental products!”
The so-called experimental products are actually works that fail at the box office or ratings.
Hearing Wang Tianlin's answer, Liang Risi said helplessly: "So, what are the ratings of this TV series? We can only wait until the prime time tonight?"
Wang Tianlin also nodded helplessly, but then Wang Tianlin reminded Liang Risi: "Mr. Liang, I think what we should pay more attention to today is actually Li's TV program.
The ratings of Jiayi TV are currently unknown. In fact, it is impossible to judge the ratings of our TV series "The Transformation of the Silkworm". We watched it well, but it does not mean that the audience will accept this TV series.
."
Outsiders still don't know the content of "Celestial Silkworm", but today Wang Tianlin has accompanied Liang Risi to carefully watch the first five episodes of "Celestial Silkworm".
Wang Tianlin is still very optimistic about the content of the TV series, but as he said, just because they watch it well does not mean that the audience will like it.
It is true that after a TV series or movie is filmed, many people in the industry can already judge the quality of the TV series.
But this judgment comes more from their professional judgment, but such professional judgment does not mean that it is necessarily correct.
This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading! Otherwise, there wouldn’t be so many blockbusters that spend a lot of money to promote.
Wang Tianlin indeed thinks that the content of the TV series "The Transformation of the Silkworm" is very good, but it is unclear how many viewers it can impress.
"Although the TV series adapted from Jin Yong's martial arts has been verified by Jiayi TV, the ceiling is limited, but that is because Jiayi TV itself has a limited ceiling. Uncle Liu can be said to be the person who understands the audience best in Xiangjiang. Since Liu Shu
Uncle dares to let the TV series "Eternal Dragon Sword" be used to fight this battle, then it means that Uncle Liu is very optimistic about this TV series. I won't be too surprised if this TV series becomes a turnaround for Li TV.
!”
After listening to Wang Tianlin's description, Liang Risi also showed a worried expression.
He is not arrogant and will never underestimate his opponents. These are Liang Risi's strengths.
Especially a veteran in the Xiangjiang entertainment industry like Shao Yifu.
Now with Wang Tianlin's reminder, Liang Risi would not underestimate him even more.
"But it's useless to say anything now. The three TV series will be officially launched tonight. It seems that we can only wait until the early morning to find out who among the three TV stations will win!"
Liang Risi preached helplessly.
Today's technology is not that developed, and it is impossible to conduct timely ratings surveys. The only way to detect the ratings at that time is through other means, including immediate phone inquiries.
Wang Tianlin smiled bitterly and said, "This is indeed the case now."
In fact, when Liang Risi and Wang Tianlin asked about the situation of Jiayi TV Station and Li's TV Station, the other two TV stations were also talking about this matter.
Jiayi TV!
"What do you think of Xu Ke's TV series?"
After coming out of the test room, Zhou Liang Shuyi asked Jamie Ye.
Jamie Ye's expression was a little strange and complicated at the same time, and he said: "This TV series is a bit strange. There is definitely no problem with the plot content, but I have never seen such a TV series in Xiangjiang. Xu Ke's TV series has subverted Xiangjiang."
traditional martial arts drama.
This is a TV series with all the bad guys. I didn’t see a hero in this TV series, but I saw the evil nature of human nature!
So I have no way of inferring what the outcome of this TV series will be!”
Sandra Chow showed the same expression as Jamie Ye.
"The style of Xu Ke's TV series is very strange, but I can't figure out what is strange about it for a while!" Sandra Chow also has her own opinions on Xu Ke's TV series.
Jamie Ye nodded and said, “That’s true.”
Later, Jamie Ye said with some worry: "What I'm worried about now is whether the TV drama audience in Hong Kong can accept such a style of TV drama."
Xiangjiang's TV dramas nowadays are basically TV dramas with happy endings, and the good nature of human nature is also interspersed in them.
But Xu Ke's TV series is a TV series with all villains, even the protagonist of this TV series. Although in the first few episodes, the character of the male protagonist of the TV series cannot be fully developed, there are clues in it.
It is enough to shake the psychological bottom line of the current Xiangjiang audience.
That's why Jamie Ye was so worried at this time.
Zhou Liang Shuyi gritted her teeth and said: "There is no turning back. Now that we have decided to use Xu Ke's TV series to fight this battle, and we have filmed five episodes of this TV series, it is no longer possible to look back.
It’s possible, now we can only believe in him!”
Jamie Ye also understood the situation of Shuyi Chow at this time. This TV series directed by Xu Ke was not only a life and death work for Jiayi TV, but also a life and death work for several of them.
If this TV series achieves a sensational effect, then they can use this TV series to seek more advertising partners. However, if this TV series fails, then three British-funded companies such as Wharf and Wharf have already had verbal cooperation with them.
They will also give up on them immediately.
A TV station without any ratings, even if it is a TV station, no company would be willing to advertise on such a TV station.
Then the entire board of directors will ask for results from Chow Leung Suk-yee, and Chow Leung Suk-yee, who cannot produce results, will have no way out except facing resignation.
As for those of them who accompanied Sandra Chow at TVB, it was naturally impossible for them to stay at Jiayi TV.
To be honest, even if they didn't leave at that time, it would be impossible. After all, if they lose this battle, Jiayi TV Station will not be able to survive!
"Inform the company's finance and publicity department to immediately use all the company's existing funds for publicity. I want the entire Hong Kong audience to know about this TV series before it starts broadcasting!"
Zhou Liang Shuyi was already fierce at this time and preached seriously.
Now that Jamie Ye has figured out the situation of these people, he naturally has no problem with Zhou Liang Shuyi's performance at this time.
"Okay, I'll go now!"
After saying that, Jamie Ye went to do this.
.
Beautiful TV station!
"The quality of the TV series "Eternal Dragon Sword" is quite good!"
Compared with Zhou Liang Shuyi's no retreat, Shao Yifu seemed a lot happier at this time. He had just watched the first five episodes of the TV series "The Legend of Heaven and the Dragon Slayer". In Shao Yifu's opinion, the level was above the passing line, but he had to
Whether it can become a hit or not is really uncertain.
But at least offline is saved!
"It's a pity that this type of TV series, I still hope that Wang Tianlin will control it. If he controls this TV series, I believe the ratings can increase by at least 10 percentage points!"
Shao Yifu preached with some regret again.
Fang Yihua shook her head and said: "There is no way. I thought that after Liang Risi took the position of TVB president, Wang Tianlin and other TVB veterans would be suppressed, but I didn't expect that Liang Risi was so good at winning people's hearts.
I contacted them and they are now very satisfied with staying at TVB."
This chapter is not finished yet, please click on the next page to continue reading the exciting content! Shao Yifu shook his head and said: "Don't forget Chu Huan's contribution here. If it weren't for Chu Huan's tens of billions apartment plan, these people wouldn't necessarily
They are all willing to stay at TVB, and it is impossible for Liang Risi to straighten out TVB’s personnel affairs so quickly!”
When it comes to Chu Huan's tens of billions apartment plan, both Shao Yifu and Fang Yihua are a little helpless.
This kind of thing has gone beyond the dimensions they can contend with.
Nowadays, there are not many tens of billionaires in the whole of Hong Kong, but Chu Huan is able to spend 10 billion Hong Kong dollars to build apartments specifically for the employees of the entire Jiaku department.
This plan alone has made Jiaku employees the happiest employees in Hong Kong.
Fang Yihua nodded and said: "That's true, but no matter what, Liang Risi still has abilities!"
Shao Yifu nodded and said with a pleased expression: "It's good that you have such an idea. Liang Risi is indeed a good talent. Coupled with TVB's original team and the people they poached from Li TV, TVB will have a good future."
It will definitely become our Li TV’s biggest enemy.”
Fang Yihua asked Shao Yifu with some curiosity: "Brother Six, aren't you worried about the situation at Jiayi TV Station at all?"
Shao Yifu smiled contemptuously and said: "No matter whether Jiayi TV wins or loses in the ratings this time, their result is already determined. Zhou Liang Shuyi thought that she was not recognized by TVB. In fact, neither I nor Li Xiao
He has already seen through her.
It is no exaggeration to say that this woman is ambitious and talented. With the support of He Zuozhi and the directors of Jiayi TV, plus the fact that Jiayi TV no longer has restrictions on educational programs, Zhou Liang Shuyi only needs to lead Jiayi TV steadily.
With a little bit of development, they will definitely become one of the three major TV stations in Hong Kong.
It just so happens that this woman is so happy with her success that she wants to become a fat man in one go and spend all the development funds of Jiayi TV Station at once. However, Jiayi TV Station does not have this background yet. The data piled up with money is good-looking, but in the end it is
It was a flash in the pan, and once Jiayi TV’s funds were drained, it would be much more difficult for them to achieve results.”
After listening to this, Fang Yihua said with a smile: "Coupled with the targeting of our two TV stations, it will be difficult for Jiayi TV station to close down even if it doesn't want to!"
Shao Yifu nodded and Fang Yihua said: "I forgot to tell you something before. I received news that TVB is preparing to launch four new channels. You must pay attention to this matter.
After those four channels are launched, our opponents will not only not decrease with the collapse of Jiayi TV, but will actually increase."
This is actually the reason why Shao Yifu wants to kill Jiayi TV Station as soon as possible. Shao Yifu heard that this strategy was decided by Chu Huan. Shao Yifu would never have any contempt for Chu Huan's opponent, even if Chu Huan had already stopped treating him.
I put my energy into the TV station.
Fang Yihua said indifferently: "I don't think you need to worry too much. I have heard about this matter. Those four channels are exclusive channels and will not have much impact on our TV station, right?"
Shao Yifu said dissatisfiedly: "There are only so many families and so many TV sets in Xiangjiang. As long as there are more choices, there will definitely be fewer viewers. How come you can't even figure this out?"
Fang Yihua immediately stopped saying anything and said seriously: "Brother Six, I know, I will keep an eye on this matter seriously!"
.
12 Mount Galley Road!
At this time, the sky had darkened. After Chu Huan, Cao Yunshang and others finished dinner, they came to the living room together. At this time, there were three TVs in the living room, playing TVB, Li's TV, and Jiayi TV.
However, there is still some time before the TV series starts. Mrs. Wu and others are focused on the TV, but Chu Huan and Cao Yunshang are not on the TV.
"Seeing that the elementary school here in Xiangjiang is less than a month away from opening, will Sumitomo Ryoko come to Xiangjiang?"
Cao Yunshang snuggled next to Chu Huan and looked at Chen Yalu who was sitting in front of the TV and curiously looking at the three TVs in front of him and asked Chu Huan.
Chu Huan nodded and said: "Yoshio Sumitomo has already called. In two days, Ryoko Sumitomo and her mother will come to Xiangjiang."
Cao Yunshang asked: "Are they just the two of them?"
Chu Huan nodded and said: "Sumitomo Ryoko's father, his status in the Sumitomo Foundation has improved during this period, and he stayed in Japan!"
Cao Yunshang smiled and said: "It seems that Sumitomo Yoshio is very concerned about his marriage with us!"
Before that, Sumitomo Ryoko's father only held an inconspicuous job in the Sumitomo Foundation. Now with the situation of Sumitomo Ryoko and Chen Yalu, Sumitomo Ryoko's father has also been valued, and he must always be worthy of his status.
Chu Huan laughed and said: "If this is not the case, he is also worried that Sumitomo Ryoko and his family will completely lean towards us!"
Cao Yunshang nodded and said with a smile: "I met Sumitomo Ryoko once before when I went to Japan. She is a pretty nice little girl. Putting aside the issue of their identities, Amao really has an advantage compared to Ryoko!"
"Sister-in-law, what advantage have I taken?"
Chen Yalu heard Cao Yunshang's words and turned around curiously and asked.
Cao Yunshang just wanted to tease Chen Yalu, but the TV series on the three major TV stations started!
