Reverse Rebirth 1990

Chapter 875 889 [New TV Era] Part [-]
Hong Kong people are actually very nostalgic.

Especially in the brilliant 80s, many well-known classic movies emerged.Among them, zombie movies are the most eye-catching. Under the leadership of Lin Zhengying and others, there is a rare "zombie tide".

According to incomplete statistics, in the three years from 1985 to 1988, more than 1000 zombie-themed movies were filmed and produced in Hong Kong, which is rare in the global film industry.

Today, Hong Kong movies are dominated by Jet Li's "Once Upon a Time" and "Invincible in the East". People are keen on Tsui Hark's martial arts movies flying around. Zombie movies have long since declined. Occasionally, some small Taiwanese companies are filmed, mixed with sex. attract the audience.

In short, the "zombie tide" that swept across Hong Kong has long since receded, leaving people with only memories, and TVB's "Zombie Daoist" now broadcasts, allowing Hong Kong audiences to recall this memory again.

……

In the early morning, in Wanchai, Hong Kong, in an old-fashioned tea house——
"Did you watch "Zombie Daoist" last night? Lin Zhengying is so sharp, just like the movies he acted in, I really like him!" said a man eating pork buns.

Opposite him, a man eating shrimp dumplings said: "The biggest seller in this drama is Uncle Jiu, but in this drama his name is Mao Xiaofang—to be honest, it would be better to call Uncle Jiu!"

The man with barbecued pork buns: "I heard that the ratings of this drama have already broken 20, and it will reach 25 soon..."

"That's right! Poor ATV, I thought that after being acquired, I would be able to show my strengths, but I didn't expect it to come back, this time TVB is going to step on them again." The shrimp dumpling man said.

At this time, a man next to him who was eating lotus seed paste buns said, "That's not necessarily true—I heard that this time ATV was rescued by Song Zhichao with billions of dollars, and ATV is also making a big move, preparing to film—"

"Filming? There are only a few people coming and going from ATV, not Chen Tingwei, Jiang Hua, Lu Songxian, how can it compare with TVB --- TVB is the famous star Shaolin Temple!" The man with barbecued pork buns said disdainfully.

"Yeah, ATV's filming is also looking for death-now "Zombie Daoist" is in the limelight, no matter how ATV struggles, it is destined to hit the street!" The shrimp dumpling man also sneered.

Others around also laughed.

"Fall on the street!"

"ATV hit the street!"

"Song Zhichao can't save ATV!"

"Song Zhichao will tie up ATV this time and hit the street together!"

……

Mongkok, Hong Kong, Newsstand——
"Boss, here's a newspaper!" A decadent man with flip flops and bread nibbling handed fifty cents to the boss, and took an entertainment newspaper.

This newspaper is the most famous "Entertainment New World" in Hong Kong. Most of the content is recent celebrity gossip in Hong Kong, as well as movie and TV news.

On the front page of this newspaper, there is a wonderful still photo of "Zombie Daoist" starring Lin Zhengying.

"I choose, TVB is so big this time, even Lin Zhengying, an old ghost, has been invited to film TV!" The man in flip flops read the newspaper while gnawing on the bread.

The owner of the newsstand interjected, "Movies are in a downturn now, and it's also a trend for big stars to make TV dramas."

"Trend size! If it's really the general trend, why don't you see 'Two Mondays' making TV dramas?" Flip-flops said contemptuously, "So TV shooting is still too low-grade, only those stars who are not popular or who have passed the gas are willing to do it. !" After finishing speaking, the flip-flops also used their breadcrumb-stained fingers to poke Lin Zhengying on the newspaper, "For example, he----!"

Hearing this, the owner of the newsstand shook his head and said nothing, took out a plum screwdriver from the toolbox, and started to play with his broken black and white TV. In his opinion, there is no difference between TV and movies. They are both for the entertainment of the audience. The only difference is What's more, one needs to pay for tickets, and the other needs to earn ratings.

At the end of the day, if TV shows are better than movies, who will buy tickets to watch movies?
Of course, if "Double Monday Success" can really put down its body to shoot TV, it is estimated that the whole of Hong Kong will explode.

"So, TVB will win this time! It's just that I'm sorry for ATV, who just escaped a catastrophe, and now TVB will step on it again." The man in flip-flops opened his mouth wide, trying to stuff the last piece of bread into his mouth—— Crumbs scattered.

"Even if Song Zhichao has great abilities, it will be difficult to recover, unless he can get his stars and Hua Zai to make TV dramas for him!" Flip-flops muttered, his tone was full of contempt and sarcasm.

In his opinion, it is a dream to let Zhou Xingchi and Liu Dehua go to the sea to film a TV series!

Who is Liu Dehua, the current "Four Heavenly Kings", before he became famous, he was the TVB Five Tigers who filmed "Falcon" and "The Legend of Condor Heroes". The lineup is full, there are [-] dramas a year, and there is no time to go to ATV to shoot TV dramas, isn't that funny!
Besides, star master Zhou Xingchi, the TV series he filmed are even less pitiful, but the protagonists are all high-quality goods. "He Comes from the Jianghu" and "The Heroes of the World" are popular all over Hong Kong because of their nonsense. Now the minimum salary is 500 million, so Who can afford to invite such big names?
If such two superstars put down their airs to make a TV series together, the dream of all 700 million people in Hong Kong may not come true -- let alone Song Zhichao alone.

The owner of the newsstand was fiddling with the small TV series in his hand with a plum screwdriver, noncommittal.

At this time, the TV was fiddled with by him, and after a burst of snowflakes, it began to broadcast the news——
Suddenly, the owner of the newsstand seemed to have seen something, pointed at the TV and said in amazement: "What is impossible? Look!"

Hearing this, the man in flip flops turned his head to look at the TV. Then, he opened his mouth wide, and before swallowing the half-chewed piece of bread—he was also stunned.

……

Hong Kong ATV TV station, news channel——
Although ATV TV is not as strong as TVB in terms of TV drama ratings, there are many variety shows and news programs that are very sharp.

For example, "Miss Asia" by Wan Qiwen, Yang Gongru and Gong Xuehua was discovered; and "Asian Amateur Singer Selection" by Zhan Guorong and Zhong Weiqiang was launched; in January 1991, ATV was the first to create "Morning News". Providing instant news to viewers, other stations followed suit.

At this moment, ATV's "Morning News" is broadcasting ---
The hostess had a serious expression, and broadcast the report in a straight voice: "According to the latest news from ATV, the famous Hong Kong movie stars Mr. Zhou Xingchi and Mr. Liu Dehua will soon join ATV's new drama "I Have a Date with a Zombie". Please look forward to it!"

This piece of news is just such a short sentence, but it immediately seems to have dropped an atomic bomb on the whole of Hong Kong, causing an uproar.

……

"Hey, brother, have you heard that Hua Tsai and Xingye are going to film in ATV!" A pair of ordinary citizens said after they met.

"No way?"

"What can't be said, it's been reported on the ATV news, it's absolutely true!"

"Wow, that's a good show to watch!"

"Yeah, I love Hua Tsai and Master Xing so much, I didn't expect to see their TV series this time!"

"I'm looking forward to it!"

"Me too!"

……

"Master Xing and Hua Tsai are going to film in ATV? Impossible!" A pair of young Hong Kong stars discussed together.

"Is there anything impossible? Don't forget that Song Zhichao is the big boss behind the two of them. Do they dare to resist what Song Zhichao asked them to do?"

"Then Song Zhichao is too sharp! The wishes of the people of Hong Kong have been fulfilled by him."

"Yes, the whole Hong Kong people are looking forward to seeing Master Xing and Andy Lau on TV. I didn't expect the dream to come true!"

"Then they're making a TV series, should we little [-]th-tier stars insist on it?"

"What do you think? If a TV station comes to us in the future, we can also put down our bodies and film - after all, making money to support our family comes first!"

"You're right, hehe!"

……

Who would have thought that Liu Dehua and Zhou Xingchi put down their stance and joined the Hong Kong TV industry from the film industry, which would have such a great impact.

The TV series, which was originally looked down upon by many people, suddenly became the new goal and new direction for many small [-]th-tier celebrities to support their families.

In fact, Hong Kong's entertainment industry itself is so big, and the cake in the film market is so small. With the [-]% on both Mondays and the Four Heavenly Kings, there are simply no more resources left for those who have not been able to squeeze into the front line of the film industry. , an eighteenth-line star who needs to support his family.

They were very distressed, they wanted to make money to support their family, but they couldn't let go of their figure, but now it was different, Hua Tsai and Master Xing's "going into the sea" directly aroused his enthusiasm.

In the future, the TV industry in Hong Kong will attract a collective explosion of stars - whoever says that acting in TV will definitely fail, as long as you have acting skills, you can get along anywhere!

At the same time, those excellent actors who have great acting skills but have to put down their bodies to film on TV stations due to lack of film resources will work together to create a "new era of TV" in Hong Kong!
