Reverse Rebirth 1990

Chapter 872 886 [The King's Choice] Part [-]
Hong Kong ATV, high-level meeting ---
ATV, which has temporarily survived the crisis, held its first high-level meeting.

Wu Siyuan, Xiang Huaqiang, brothers Xiang Huasheng, and Zou Wenhuai all attended the meeting.

According to the past practice, as the chairman of ATV, Wu Siyuan should sit on the chairman seat in front of the conference table.

After the four of Wu Siyuan entered the conference room, there were sporadic applause around them.

As the four leaders of ATV, Wu Siyuan and others nodded to the crowd, each of them found their own seats and were about to sit down, when the applause suddenly rose.

clap clap clap!
Extremely enthusiastic.

Wu Siyuan, Xiang Huasheng, Xiang Huaqiang, and Zou Wenhuai looked at each other in blank dismay, because the warm applause was not for them, but for the bald man Jin Jiu who had just entered the room, as well as Liu Dehua and Zhou Xingchi.

It is understandable that during this difficult time for ATV, the bald man Jin Jiu led Liu Dehua and Zhou Xingchi to not only pay the long-overdue salaries and remuneration to ATV employees and artists, but also briefly saved ATV from bankruptcy.

For the countless people who live on ATV, this is definitely a great favor, so everyone is so grateful and respectful to Jin Jiusan, and they couldn't help applauding loudly after they came in.

But everyone's warm applause to Jin Jiu, Liu Dehua and Zhou Xingchi, in the eyes of Wu Siyuan, Xiang brothers and others, was a slap in the face.

After Wu Siyuan sat down, he coughed in embarrassment, and then smiled to Jin Jiu, Liu Dehua and Zhou Xingchi and said, "Three, I have worked hard for you recently. ATV has suffered catastrophe, internal troubles and external troubles. You have been really troubled during this time." Thank you for your hard work, if you hadn't helped me and worked hard in the future, I'm afraid we wouldn't even be able to hold the meeting this time."

Jin Jiu smiled slightly and said, "It's all thanks to everyone, and the three of us just did our best."

Liu Dehua said: "Yes, since we are ATV executives, of course we have to share ATV's worries."

Zhou Xingchi was not as kind as Liu Dehua, he said harshly: "Unlike some people who only think of themselves when they are in trouble!"

As soon as these words came out, the surrounding immediately fell silent.

Wu Siyuan, Xiang Huasheng, brothers Xiang Huaqiang, and Zou Wenhuai were all ashamed.

"Ahem, in fact, we are all ashamed now. As ATV's leadership, we failed to rescue ATV's crisis in the first place..." Wu Siyuan is a veteran in the entertainment industry after all, so he immediately eased the atmosphere and said, "But it turns out that heroes come out of youth... It is because of the three of you that ATV can turn the corner."

Next to him, Zou Wenhuai, who hadn't spoken much, suddenly said, "Although that's the case, the ATV crisis has not passed..."

Everyone couldn't help looking at Zou Wenhuai after hearing the words, knowing that this big guy would not be aimless, and must have something to point to.

Sure enough, Zou Wenhuai took out a cigarette, lit it, and said: "As we all know, this ATV crisis is caused by someone behind the scenes, who took away the funds that ATV relies on for development. With the impact of this incident, many People are not very optimistic about ATV, and now they are even more worried about the future development of ATV, which can be seen from the performance of ATV in the stock market.”

The crowd couldn't help but nod their heads.

Indeed, the recent series of turmoil at ATV has made people panic. Not only are Hong Kong people not optimistic about ATV, but even ATV's own employees and artists are not optimistic about ATV's prospects.

"So, I think that if ATV really wants to make a comeback at the moment, it will have to produce a few big productions, and the ratings will be higher than TVB." Zou Wenhuai flicked a cigarette on the ashtray, and continued Said: "Only in this way can everyone regain their confidence in ATV—in fact, I have been in ATV for so long, I understand a truth, doing TV is the same as making movies, the pursuit of movies is box office, and if the box office is high, they will make money; Well, high ratings can attract advertisers, advertisers are willing to invest money, and TV stations can make money.”

At this time, Xiang Huasheng suddenly said: "That being said, we are all good at making movies, comedies, action movies, horror movies, we can make money in any genre, but the limitations of TV dramas are too big, and many of them can't." If you can’t shoot, you can’t attract viewers. If you can’t attract viewers, how can you find an advertising agency? Without an advertising agency, the TV station will be weak!”

"Hehe, Mr. Zou, Boss Xiang, you and I are both filmmakers. To be precise, we were born in the film industry. There are ready-made professionals who know how to act, know how to figure out the psychology of the audience, and more importantly, have a strong appeal --- one is the king of heaven, and the other is the king of comedy... Since the last crisis of ATV can be solved, maybe This time it can also solve the ratings of ATV!" The old fox Wu Siyuan held a big cigar that had just been lit, and looked at Liu Dehua and Zhou Xingchi with a smile.

Others also looked at the two Hong Kong superstars, and couldn't help agreeing with Wu Siyuan's words.

Whether a TV series is good-looking or not, apart from the plot, the most important thing is the charisma of the actors.

It's a pity that many TV actors have good acting skills, but their appeal is too weak. For example, Zhen Zidan, a kung fu student whom ATV has recently promoted, has a background in film acting, but has always been calm and not popular. Up to now, his appeal is not enough.The other two ATV niche students, Jiang Hua and Lu Songxian, have accumulated some popularity by relying on several big dramas, but compared with Liu Dehua and Zhou Xingchi who were still in the TV station back then, they are still much weaker.

You know, when Liu Dehua was on TVB, he starred in such big productions as "Falcon" and "The Legend of Condor Heroes" with super high ratings; as for Zhou Xingchi, although he became popular later than Liu Dehua, he also filmed movies like "Heroes of the World". ", "He Comes from Jianghu" and other excellent drama series.

It can be said that whether it is Liu Dehua or Zhou Xingchi, they are the two most successful "kings" who have switched from TV to movies.

If they are willing to lower their heads, bury their bodies, and shoot TV dramas for ATV, the gimmick of "The Return of the King" alone can bring ATV back to life.

But will they?
……

In Hong Kong, making movies and making TV are two circles. Although both circles belong to the entertainment circle, one is in the sky and the other is in the ground.

To be precise, most of the time, TV actors try their best to get into the movie industry. I have never seen a few who would lower their value and go from the movie industry to the TV industry-unless they can't get along, for example Zhen Zidan.

Zhen Zidan has a very high starting point in the Hong Kong film industry. The first movie was picked up by Baye, and he shot an action movie about breakdancing called "Love in Rivals".

After the show was staged, it was well-received, but Zhen Zidan continued to be reused by a group of directors because of his good skills. In the late 80s, he shot a lot of kung fu movies in one go, such as "High Line", "Money Laundering" and other classic films.

However, with the decline of traditional Kung Fu movies in Hong Kong, Zhen Zidan had to be reduced from the protagonist to a supporting role in order to make a living. He played the eunuch "Cao Shaoqin" in "New Dragon Inn"; Nalan Yuan Shu".

In 1994, for some reason, he couldn't stay in the film industry anymore, so he put down his figure and was invited to come to ATV to shoot two dramas "Shaolin Justice Hong Xiguan" and "Jing Fu Men".

Because of Zhen Zidan's joining, the ratings of these two dramas were extremely high, surpassing TVB for a time, and the banner played by ATV at that time was: "Zhen Zidan returns from the film industry, who will compete in the ratings!"

……

In contrast, the current Liu Dehua and Zhou Xingchi are classified as "Heavenly Kings". Speaking of which, they are not at the same level as Zhen Zidan --- they are the top stars in the movie industry.

Not to mention anything else, as long as the two of them are willing to nod here and agree to help ATV film, then ATV's ratings will definitely "explode" in the future --- and it will be a huge explosion!
But the question remains - will they?
