Rebirth of Hong Kong - 1978

Chapter 2138 The real drama

"Genghis Khan" and "Hotel Situation" were broadcast on the same night and at the same time, so the ratings of the next day naturally made DongTV and TVB executives very nervous.

Because as long as the ratings on the first day come out, it is generally possible to determine who will be higher and who will be lower in the next two dramas.

Moreover, "Genghis Khan" only has ten episodes. If it can't keep winning, then this time it will be too painful for TVB to spend a lot of money to shoot such a big show in the grassland.

Although wireless has temporarily stabilized the downward trend during this period, it does not mean that they can maintain the current momentum forever.

Once the big dramas on Dongshi's side are released one after another, it may be difficult for Wireless to stop it.

So this "Genghis Khan" can be said to be an attempt by them. If the effect is good, TVB will definitely continue to film in the mainland and spend more money.

But if even "Genghis Khan" can't get a good ratings, then the future of TVB may be very worrying.

So on the night when "Genghis Khan" was broadcast, Uncle Liu and Ms. Fang sat in front of the TV and watched the whole play.

At least in their opinion, there are still many bright spots in this drama, and the scene of hundreds of galloping horses alone is simply impossible for Xiangjiang.

It has been a long time since Wireless has made such a big deal, and this time it was really forced out by Lin Daoqiu.

The next day, Fang Yihua came to Wireless's office as usual, and after sitting for a while, the secretary outside came in and told her that it was time for the meeting.

Fang Yihua nodded. Although she looked the same today as usual, Fang Yihua was still a little nervous.

After all, this is about TVB's first battle with Dongshi, and victory or defeat can be said to be very important.

If the first battle is won, it can be said to be a great boost to Wireless's morale, otherwise it will have a great negative effect.

Fang Yihua felt that the filming of "Genghis Khan" was pretty good, at least it captured the momentum of the prairie and galloping horses, and the ratings would not be so low, so she came to the conference room full of confidence.

Everyone knew what the topic of today's meeting was, so no one was talking too much, and Fang Yihua went straight to the topic as soon as he came in.

"Has the ratings come out?"

"It's already out, and it's already taken over there."

The secretary answered quickly.

Fang Yihua nodded with a smile on his face.

"I watched "Genghis Khan" with Uncle Six last night. We all thought it was well shot, with a magnificent momentum and novel themes. It was shot on the prairie in real location. I believe we will get a good result."

"Hotel Situation" was filmed in a five-star hotel in Xiangjiang, Fang Yathua seemed to compare the selection of the scene, the two sides were not at the same level, so she was very confident in the ratings of "Genghis Khan".

Xiao Sheng is the producer of this film. He stayed in the prairie for several months. It can be said that he really put his heart into filming this "Genghis Khan".

At this time, the staff had already taken the ratings and handed them over to Fang Yihua.

After receiving the ratings handed over by the other party, the smiling Fang Yihua looked down, and the smile on her face froze immediately.

I don't know if it's Xiao Sheng's illusion, they always feel that Fang Yihua's hand holding the paper seems to be trembling, but it's not very obvious.

If "Genghis Khan" had won, Fang Yat-hua would not be what he is now, so everyone has already noticed something.

"The result is out, thirty to 67."

It is impossible for TVB to get the ratings of 67. If so, Fang Yat-hua would not have this expression. It can be said that TVB is a complete failure this time, and whether it can maintain the ratings of [-] is still unknown.

Xiao Sheng didn't expect such a situation to happen. At the beginning, he thought that even if Wireless lost to the opponent, the gap would not be widened.

But now it seems that he was too optimistic before, and the gap between the two sides was very obvious from the beginning.

If TVB hadn't led the team to the prairie for filming this time, I'm afraid that with this kind of theme and this kind of lineup, the ratings might drop to grandma's house.

"Everyone has worked hard during this period, and please continue to work hard in the future."

Fang Yihua was surprisingly calm, she didn't get angry in public this time, and she didn't know what she was thinking.

Originally, everyone was waiting for her to be furious, but after Fang Yihua finished speaking, he got up and left his seat.

The producers and managers in the meeting room looked at each other, and everyone had a bad idea.

On the other hand, Dongshi, after the ratings were released, everyone was happy. The heroine played by Li Zhi gave a refreshing feeling as soon as she appeared on the stage.

Moreover, her clothes are very elegant, which is completely different from Xiangjiang's current clothing trend. Everyone wants to know what kind of clothes Li Zhi is wearing.

Many magazines and newspapers frantically sent invitations to Li Zhi, wanting to know her outfits in the play and her views on fashion trends.

However, Li Zhi's favorability has not been improved because of the popularity of "Hotel Storm", and most people still have some unfavorable impressions of her.

Moreover, Li Zhi's image in the TV series is very different from the traditional women nowadays. Only a small number of people started to like the star Li Zhi because of "Hotel Storm".

For Lin Daoqiu, the complete victory of "Hotel Storm" is expected. After all, the way of wireless filming is still the same. Same.

Just looking at the picture of TVB's "Genghis Khan" running on the prairie made Lin Daoqiu's heart flutter.

He remembered that in the last life, John Woo made a film called "Red Cliff" and it was divided into two episodes, but the changes in it caused some complaints, and the box office results were naturally not much better.

As one of the four great masterpieces, "The Romance of the Three Kingdoms" can be said to be of extraordinary significance to the Chinese.

The old version of the TV series "Romance of the Three Kingdoms" was originally going to start filming in mid-87, but at this time it was reported that the local TV station and Neon were planning to film the Three Kingdoms, so the project was terminated.

It won't be until two years later that "The Romance of the Three Kingdoms" will begin preparations.

Perhaps because watching TVB's "Genghis Khan" was like playing a house, Lin Daoqiu planned to make a "Romance of the Three Kingdoms" at this time.

But Lin Daoqiu did not intend to make a TV drama version of "The Romance of the Three Kingdoms", but planned to shoot "Red Cliff", and by the way, invest in a Three Kingdoms movie theater in the mainland for future film and television dramas in ancient costumes, so that everyone can watch it. What a real historical blockbuster looks like.
