Rebirth of Hong Kong - 1978

Chapter 95 The July Offensive
When everyone in Xiangjiang was paying attention to Zhao Yazhi's love letter incident, Jiayi TV Station, which had been quiet before, suddenly started to publicize it.

Starting from June [-]th, Jiayi has carried out promotional activities throughout Xiangjiang, including distributing tapes of TV station promotions at the Tsim Sha Tsui pier.

Moreover, the major newspapers in Hong Kong sold full-page advertisements for several days in a row, with the headlines: "X day is suitable, avoid xx", which is a feudal superstition.

Originally, everyone was discussing Zhao Yazhi's matter, but Jiayi's move made everyone return to the battle of the TV station.

At the beginning of the year, Jiayi paid a lot of money to come from TVB. As the general manager of Jiashi, Zhou Liang Shuyi launched "Famous History", "Golden Sword Lover", "Mystery Theater", "Pioneer", night programs "Hello at Night" and other programs.

And Selina Chow's idea is very simple, that is, to use the method of increasing the ratings to win the advertiser in 1979.

As long as this "July Offensive" is successful, Jiayi will be well-known in Xiangjiang, and then it will be able to grab advertisers from Wireless and Li's.

Compared to Li's, TVB didn't take Jiayi's "July Offensive" seriously because they were already rushing to shoot "Chu Liuxiang".

This TV series with a superb star lineup, Fang Yihua and Wang Tianlin are confident that they can crush any of Shang Li's and Jia Yi's dramas.

As for programs in other time slots, Fang Yihua is not worried. After all, since the TVB launched, it has attracted a lot of viewers because of the free relationship, which has caused most of the audience in Hong Kong to habitually watch.

It was because Li's did not keep up with the pace of the times that it was six years late to switch from wired charging to wireless free.

Before Lin Daoqiu came to Li's, TVB's and Li's ratings had always been [-]-[-], but recently it was a little bit better, because of "Crocodile Tears", it was slightly pulled to [-]-[-]%.

But it is impossible for Lidi to get the ratings of "Crocodile Tears" as good as "Crocodile Tears", and "Crocodile Tears" is coming to an end, if they don't release a good TV series quickly, I am afraid they will be a "July offensive". the biggest victim.

In the conference room of Lili TV Station, the atmosphere on July [-]st was very dignified.

General manager Huang Xizhao, deputy general manager Zhong Jinghui, and a group of producers, screenwriters and directors held a meeting to discuss countermeasures.

"Now is Li's life and death. If Jiayi's 'July Offensive' works, our advertisers next year will drop sharply. July is a battle we cannot lose."

Huang Xizhao set the tone from the very beginning, he no longer had the usual kind appearance, but now he had a serious face and murderous eyes in his eyes.

Looking around, Huang Xizhao finally stopped his gaze on Lin Daoqiu.

""Ip Man" has only filmed the seventh episode. Even if we want to broadcast it while filming, we will have to wait at least 20 days later."

Lin Daoqiu felt Huang Xizhao's murderous eyes, and before the other party asked, he took the initiative to explain the progress of "Ip Man".

This "Ip Man" Lin Daoqiu planned to shoot 28 episodes, but because Xu Xiaoming and Lin Zhengying cooperated for the first time, there was no tacit understanding at the beginning, so the progress can be said to be a bit slow.

"Mr. Lin, there is news from TVB that "Chu Liuxiang" will start broadcasting on July 7th, which is the day after the finale of "Crocodile Tears". point of time."

Although it sounds like Huang Xizhao is talking to Lin Daoqiu in a negotiating tone, it sounds like there is no choice. In just ten days, at least ten episodes have to be filmed. This difficulty can be imagined.

"You can't shoot any good works in a hurry. The result of shoddy production will only make the audience abandon the film." Lin Daoqiu still insisted on buying ten more days.

"Mr. Lin, you're right, but it's a pity that Li's can't afford to wait anymore. If she doesn't come up with a show to resist, then Li's will only be killed by TVB and Jiayi."

TVB has "Chu Liuxiang", while Jiashi has "Famous History" and "Golden Sword Lover". If they really surrender, Li's is equivalent to giving up the most essential evening time of the whole day.

Looking at Huang Xizhao, who was usually modest and elegant, he was trembling when he spoke, which made Lin Daoqiu feel like his heart was touched by something.

Everyone was looking at Lin Daoqiu at this time, hoping that he could stand up and take this round for Li. After all, everyone sitting here did not have the confidence to withstand the joint killing of Wireless and Jiashi.

"Give me five more days, NO.15 "Ip Man" will start airing at seven o'clock on time." Lin Daoqiu looked at Huang Xizhao solemnly and said his request.

If there is only "Chu Liuxiang", Huang Xizhao will respect Lin Daoqiu's request no matter what, and give him ten days, but now the situation is urgent. Although five days is not much, it is really difficult for Huang Xizhao to make up.

"How about... trying to extend "Crocodile Tears" by five more episodes?"

It was Mai Dangxiong who had been at odds with Lin Daoqiu before, and he stood up at this time, which surprised many people present.

"There are still thirteen days left. In these thirteen days, think of a way to disassemble the remaining eight episodes into thirteen episodes except tonight's broadcast?"

I have to say that if it was someone else, I am afraid that they would never do such a thing, but McDonald is different, he is very courageous, and he has done crazy things.

After listening to Mai Dangxiong's suggestion, everyone showed thoughtful expressions. After all, this is too risky. If it is not done well, it will be self-defeating, and the good ratings of "Crocodile Tears" will decline.

"Are you sure?" Huang Xizhao looked at Mai Dangxiong solemnly, this is his confidant, and he also knew that the other party was a very capable producer.

But now is not the time to make jokes. If Mai Dangxiong can't do it, then Huang Xizhao won't know how to deal with it.

"Don't ask me if I can do it, I will only try my best. As for the final result, just let fate."

Mai Dangxiong didn't dare to promise anything. After all, the risk of dismantling a drama is too great. He can only do his best. As for the others, he really can't guarantee anything.

"If that's the case, then go ahead and do it." Huang Xizhao nodded emphatically, now he has no choice but to hope that Mai Dangxiong can complete the task of dismantling the drama.

The meeting ended soon, and Lin Daoqiu planned to join the crew to speed up the progress of filming starting today.

As soon as he walked out of the meeting room, he heard a rush of footsteps behind him.

Lin Daoqiu looked back and found that it was Mai Dangxiong who came.

Before Lin Daoqiu could open his mouth, Mai Dangxiong said with a straight face: "Mr. Lin, don't let me down, don't let Li's down, please."

After Mai Dangxiong finished speaking, he turned around and left without giving Lin Daoqiu a chance to speak.

Looking at the back of the other party leaving in a hurry, Lin Daoqiu could only whisper: "Don't worry."
