Rebirth of Hong Kong - 1978

Chapter 99 Li's Rising Momentum
With the broadcast of the finale of "Lu Xiaofeng", TVB's ratings also dropped back to 50 points.

However, Jiayi's "Celebrity Love History" has dropped to 15 points, and Li's "Crocodile Tears" has dropped to 21 points, and it seems that the 20 point mark is about to be broken.

However, Li's TV station was surprisingly calm. Originally, Lin Daoqiu thought that the atmosphere of the TV station would be very dignified today.

But what he didn't expect was that the employees who passed by him didn't show any depressed or uneasy expressions on their faces, but greeted him normally, and some even smiled.

Lin Daoqiu really couldn't figure it out, "Crocodile Tears" almost fell below 20 points, these guys can still laugh, what are they thinking?

But soon Lin Daoqiu figured out what happened. It turned out that their confidence came from the press conference to be held at noon.

After all, Liu Songren, as the protagonist, just got 50 points in the ratings, and such a TVB star, unexpectedly switched to Li's, what could be more exciting than this?
As one of the main heroes who invited Liu Songren, Lin Daoqiu was supposed to be invited to the press conference, but he rejected the invitation.

"After all, I am a person who is unwilling to show up even when the film crew is turned on, how could I join in such a fun."

Lin Daoqiu did not intend to appear at the press conference, so Liu Songren could only be accompanied by his old classmate Mai Dangxiong.

As for the location of the press conference, Huang Xizhao chose a well-known hotel to hold it.

Dozens of media reporters were invited, and as soon as twelve noon arrived, Liu Songren followed Huang Xizhao into the venue.

Although everyone had received a lot of news about Liu Songren's transfer to Li's before, Li's confidentiality work was very strict, and they did not get any key evidence.

Later, Huang Xizhao also found out that it was a guy who played tricks in "Ip Man" who made the matter of Liu Songren public.

He directly ordered that in the future that extraterrestrial would not be allowed to come to Li's show, and then kicked him out of the TV station, completely blocking him.

The camera kept flashing. Everyone was very surprised by Liu Songren's sudden switch to Li's. After all, he is a niche player in TVB, and the ratings of "Lu Xiaofeng" reached 50 points last night, so there is no reason to leave.

But Liu Songren was standing in front of them, and beside him was Lidi's general manager Huang Xizhao.

"Welcome friends from the media to this press conference. I believe everyone has seen it. The protagonist of today's conference is our Mr. Liu Songren."

Standing under the stage, Lin Daoqiu watched McDonald read the words according to the script, but he still stumbled a bit when he spoke. It seemed that the role of spokesperson was not suitable for him.

But fortunately, everyone's thoughts are on Liu Songren, they just want to quickly know why he switched to Li's, and what's the inside story.

After finally waiting for Mai Dangxiong to finish speaking, it was time for the reporter to ask questions.

"Mr. Liu, you're clearly the head of TVB, and "Lu Xiaofeng" also scored a whopping 50 ratings last night, why did you jump ship at this time?
"May I ask if Mr. Liu had any conflicts with Wireless? That's why you chose Li's?"

"It was rumored that Aunt Six was very fond of Zheng Shaoqiu, so she appointed him as the leading actor in "Chu Liuxiang", and replaced you as the second leading actor. What do you think about this matter?"

As soon as it came up, everyone was asking Liu Songren about the transfer, and some people even gossiped about the rumors that he and Zheng Shaoqiu had a disagreement.

But regarding these things, Liu Songren just smiled and said: "Thank you for your concern, but I will not answer those nonsense things. As for why I want to reply to Li..."

When Liu Songren was speaking, he suddenly turned his head to look at Huang Xizhao, and nodded towards him.

Then he turned his head to look at the reporter and explained: "Because I was originally an artist from Li's background, it's really a normal thing to do filming when I come back."

Liu Songren has already made up his mind today, he will not talk about wireless matters, no matter it is good or bad, he will not even mention it.

"May I ask if General Manager Huang Xizhao sent you an invitation, and did you agree to come back to Li?"

Liu Songren shook his head and said, "That's not true. It was Mr. Lin Daoqiu Lin who extended the invitation to me."

This name is very unfamiliar to most people. Many reporters showed puzzled expressions. Everyone looked at each other in blank dismay, as if they had never heard of the name Lin Daoqiu.

However, there were still quite a few reporters who were in the film industry. When they heard Lin Daoqiu's name, several of them couldn't help but let out a cry of exclamation.

"What Mr. Liu said just now, is the person who invited you, Mr. Lin Daoqiu Lin who broke the box office record of tens of millions?"

Liu Songren nodded and admitted it. In fact, there is nothing wrong with it. After all, these are facts.

When the people in the audience heard this, many people were surprised, and many people even started to see Lin Daoqiu and Liu Songren together.

One is TVB's popular niche, and the other is a talented producer who broke Xiangjiang's box office record. It is really curious what kind of TV series they will produce together.

The next day, the headlines in the newspapers were all about Liu Songren's switch to Li's. If there was no Zhao Yazhi's love letter incident, Liu Songren's switch to Li's would have been the most unbelievable event in the entertainment circle.

And just after the press conference, the TV station received many enthusiastic viewers who came to ask about Liu Songren's new play. They couldn't wait to see Liu Songren appear in Li's TV series.

Affected by Liu Songren's switch to Li, the ratings of "Crocodile Tears" that night were suddenly pulled from 21 o'clock to 28 o'clock, a full increase of 7 points.

And the first episode of TVB's new drama "Taxi Driver" only got 36 points because of the subject matter, but these were all within Fang Yat Hua's expectations, so TVB was not too nervous.

With the joining of Liu Songren and the fact that there is no strong drama on TVB, Li's life can be said to be very comfortable for the next week.

But Lin Daoqiu knew very well that this was the calm before the storm, and if he really took the achievements during this period of time as normal things, I'm afraid Lide would be in big trouble.

After all, Fang Yihua was holding back all his strength to make a bigger move. If he couldn't resist by then, then Li's and Jiashi would be miserable for two full months.
