Rebirth of Hong Kong - 1978

Chapter 1268 "Night Talk about the Ancients"

Commercial Radio's Leiting 881 channel announced that a new column would be launched at twelve o'clock, and it had already started making announcements three days before the start of the new column.

Many people already know that the promoter of this new column is Yu Ting, the newly appointed CEO of Shangtai.

But few people know what kind of program Yu Teng is going to launch this column.

And not only the outside world is curious, but even the employees inside the commercial station are also curious about this program.

Before the show started, only those who participated in the production of the show knew the specific details. Even if they were asked by colleagues, they were all tight-lipped.

After all, Yu Cheng has already issued a death order, and this program is absolutely not allowed to be exposed. If someone is found to have leaked the program before it started broadcasting, they will be severely punished.

The new official took office three fires, no one dared to tease Yu Cheng's tiger whiskers at this time, and there was no such thing as Weibo at this time, and no one would stand up and break the news.

And on the night when the show started, many people turned on the radio on time.

When the time came to twelve o'clock, there was a burst of melodious music on the radio, and then a boy's magnetic voice came from the radio.

"Welcome everyone to listen to Leiting 881's new column "Night Talk about the Ancients". It starts on time at twelve o'clock every night, and the most important thing about this program is to tell you some weird stories."

After the host paused for a moment, he continued: "Then today, I will bring you a supernatural novel "An Embroidered Shoe"..."

Listening to other people's ghost stories at midnight is actually not a novelty in Xiangjiang, and because most of the stories have been told many times, many storytelling columns have been replaced.

This time, Commercial TV has changed the [-]:[-] column into a storytelling column, which is not too novel to everyone.

However, because last night was the first day of the new program's premiere, the ratings were pretty good.

The next day, when Yu Cheng saw last night's ratings, she didn't show any surprise or joy. Instead, she looked very calm.

Although most of the time, a new program will definitely have a high ratings at the beginning, but in Yu Teng's view, the power of "Night Talking about the Ancients" has not yet been developed.

I believe it will take some time before we can know whether "Night Talks about Ancient Times" will become a popular column, and it will take time to prove it.

Fortunately, the time of this column is very late, and because it is a radio station, the pressure on the ratings is not too great.

Yu Teng intends to spend at least two months to test whether this new program can be successful.

In the next few days, compared with the first day, the listening rate of the column "Night Talks about the Ancients" suddenly showed a very strange change. It first dropped a little, and then began to climb.

A week later, the audience rating of "Night Talks about the Ancients" has reached the level of normal audience ratings.

Moreover, the story of "An Embroidered Shoe" began to attract widespread attention in Xiangjiang. Everyone seemed to be following a series, turning on the radio on time every night to follow this story.

Many directors and screenwriters are loyal listeners of Thunder 881, and they have never heard of the story of "An Embroidered Shoe" before, so everyone listened with great interest.

Some directors and screenwriters even planned to buy this story and adapt it into a movie, so they began to contact commercial stations.

Unfortunately, the answers they got were almost the same, that is, the author of this story has no plans to adapt the novel for the time being, and they even kept the identity of the author a secret, directly referring to them as unknown people in the column.

The more Shangtai does this, the more people are curious about who wrote such a novel.

…………

Cheng Xiaodong, who had been busy all day, returned home after twelve o'clock. As soon as he entered the door, he heard the voice of a person talking in the room.

Usually at this time, Cheng Gang has already gone to rest, so why are there still people talking in the living room.

When he walked into the living room, he found that Cheng Gang was sitting on the rocking chair, listening to the radio with his eyes closed.

"Dad, haven't you rested yet?"

Cheng Xiaodong asked in a low voice, he thought Cheng Gang had fallen asleep.

But what Cheng Xiaodong didn't expect was that Cheng Gang opened his eyes directly, then looked at him and said.

"Don't make noise, I'm listening to a story, go."

After Cheng Gang finished speaking, he closed his eyes again.

Cheng Xiaodong felt very curious, what kind of story was he listening to at this point in time.

But at this moment, there was a sudden horrifying sound on the radio.

"I saw that window was opened at some point, and from a distance, it seemed that there was a figure moving inside..."

Originally, Cheng Xiaodong planned to go back to his room to change clothes, and then take a shower, but after hearing this, he unknowingly sat on the sofa next to him, and then listened to the story on the radio with Cheng Gang.

Cheng Xiaodong didn't realize that he hadn't taken a bath until the end of "Night Talk about the Ancients".

"Well, isn't this story very good?"

Cheng Gang was delighted to hear it. It was only through a friend's recommendation that he learned that Commercial Radio had a storytelling program at twelve o'clock in the evening.

At first, Cheng Gang didn't pay much attention to it, but he couldn't stand the enthusiastic recommendation of his friend, saying that the story in it was so good that he must listen to it.

And not only his friends said so, even when he usually went to the restaurant for morning tea, many people were talking about the story of "An Embroidered Shoe".

The more this happened, the more curious Cheng Gang became, so he also joined the ranks of listening.

"It's really good. The story of "An Embroidered Shoe" is scary, but the more it is like this, the more people want to continue listening."

Although Cheng Xiaodong has never made horror or supernatural films, he likes listening to stories told by people, regardless of age or age.

"If possible, I'd like to meet the author."

"How about I help you think of a way? I have friends in Shangtai."

Cheng Xiaodong has friends in Shangtai. If his father really wants to meet the author of this novel, he can ask his friends for help.

As soon as Cheng Gang heard it, he immediately sat up.

He hesitated for a moment before speaking.

"If this is the case, then go and try it. If it doesn't work, don't force others."

On the one hand, Cheng Gang wanted to see this story earlier, because he had missed many episodes before, and on the other hand, Cheng Gang wanted to see if he could get the film adaptation copyright of this novel after he got to know the author.

It doesn't interest him at all to make ordinary movies. If he wants to make a movie, he needs to make something different, and "An Embroidered Shoe" is just right for him.
