Rebirth of Hong Kong - 1978

Chapter 998
"The Legend of the Condor Heroes", which was supposed to start broadcasting in 1983, was postponed to the Spring Festival in 1984 due to some problems.

At this point in the Chinese New Year, it can be said that in the whole year, TV series can get the best schedule.

Because everyone celebrates at home during the Chinese New Year, as long as there is a TV at home, most of the entertainment items at night are watching TV at home.

On the other side of ATV, "Xiao Li Fei Dao" also slowed down the shooting speed due to the postponement of "Legend of the Condor Heroes".

The battle between ATV vs TVB, "Xiao Li Feidao" vs "Legend of the Condor Heroes", and Gu Long vs Jin Yong will be broadcast simultaneously on New Year's Eve.

The screenwriter of "The Legend of the Condor Heroes" is Chen Qiaoying, the director is To Qifeng, and the producer is Wang Tianlin.

Long before the Chinese New Year, the news that "The Legend of the Condor Heroes" will be broadcast has been known to the audience from various channels.

But it's a pity that the star lineup of this drama is not very dazzling, especially the two protagonists, Huang Rihua, who plays Guo Jing, and Weng Meiling, who plays Huang Rong.

These two people are hardly well-known, and if they are asked to play the leading role in this "Legend of the Condor Heroes", most of the audience are not very optimistic.

Moreover, in the first episode of "The Legend of the Condor Heroes: Iron Blood and Heart", the protagonist didn't even show up, but focused on describing what happened in Niujia Village in Lin'an, and the plot was very procrastinated.

If there is no other TV series to compare, the audience may not feel that there is any problem.

But on the ATV on the other side, in the first episode of "Xiao Li Feidao", the first scene appeared was Li Xunhuan sitting in the carriage.

Not long after meeting A Fei, the first fight scene has already arrived.

In 1977, Ti Lung and Er Dongsheng once acted in "Sentimental Swordsman Ruthless Sword". People who have watched this movie can't help but use it with ATV's "Xiao Li Feidao" Compare.

When the Jade Blood Snakes appeared at the inn, the first fight scene of "Little Li Flying Knife" was officially staged.

It turned out that Xu Xiaoming had asked Lin Daoqiu for advice many times, and wanted him to give his opinion on how to shoot the fighting scenes of "Xiao Li Fei Dao".

The costume dramas being filmed at this time now have a lot of scenes of martial arts, and Xu Xiaoming is also a practitioner, and he is especially good at filming this type of action movies.

But even so, he still wants to know what Lin Daoqiu thinks about this "Little Li Feidao".

After all, this "Little Li Feidao" was made by Lin Daoqiu himself when he went to Baodao, went to Gu Long to get the right to adapt it, and then asked ATV to start filming.

And even the script was written by Lin Daoqiu, so Xu Xiaoming naturally had to ask for clarification before shooting.

If the result of the shooting didn't satisfy the other party, Xu Xiaoming dared to bet that Lin Daoqiu would definitely let them do it again.

And in terms of acting, at this moment, the supporting roles in TV dramas or other miscellaneous characters usually have to fight back and forth a few times when fighting with the protagonist or supporting roles.

I don't know if it's to make time, or I think it will be fun for the audience to call back and forth like this.

Anyway, that's how everyone came here. Whether it's TVB or ATV, they all shoot according to this routine.

Lin Daoqiu didn't take this very seriously, so before the filming of "Little Li Feidao", he asked Yuan Jiaban to help design a set of martial arts styles for the film "Little Li Feidao".

For example, what Li Xunhuan, played by Ti Lung, looks like when he makes a move, and what kind of A Fei looks like when he uses his sword skills.

In order to fix this style, Lin Daoqiu also asked Yuan Heping to send several martial artists to go to the cold country with the crew of "Little Li Feidao".

It can be said that Lin Daoqiu's approach is very wise. With the assistance of Yuan Jiaban, Xu Xiaoming has become more and more adapted to this style.

The sword in the novel can be filmed several times in film and television dramas.

But in Lin Daoqiu's "Little Li Flying Knife", the sword used by the two bloody snakes is just a sword, and it is never muddled.

In addition to removing some of the bloody scenes in the novel, Lin Daoqiu restored the plot of "Sentimental Swordsman Ruthless Sword" to the greatest extent.

As for the fighting scenes in this drama, it can be said that it is fascinating to watch.

It can be said that compared with the first episode of Lin Daoqiu's "Little Li Feidao" and TVB's "The Legend of the Condor Heroes", everyone agrees that it is "Little Li Feidao" Even more outstanding.

Because the first episode of "The Legend of the Condor Heroes" didn't even star in the leading role, but the first scene of "Xiao Li Feidao" is the leading actor Li Xunhuan.

Moreover, the procrastinated plot arrangement of wireless is a big failure.

If there is no "Xiao Li Fei Dao" for comparison, maybe everyone will not think there is any problem with this, and will read it with relish.

But what is different now is that after the comparison with "Xiao Li Feidao", the audience has gradually switched to ATV.

Because it was the first day of the Lunar New Year, the TV station did not show the ratings. At this time, everyone was happy at home to celebrate the festival.

It wasn't until the third day of the Lunar New Year that the ratings for the previous few days were finally released.

"The ratings of "The Legend of the Condor Heroes" premiered at 23 points, and it has stabilized at around 24 points all the way."

After saying this, the atmosphere in the conference room suddenly became heavy.

This "The Legend of the Condor Heroes", it can be said that TVB placed great trust in it before, and it also specially arranged to start broadcasting on the [-]th day of the Chinese New Year.

Originally, according to Wang Tianlin and his team's forecast, the drama should at least get a rating of around 40 points.

But what they never expected was that "Legend of the Condor Heroes" only got around 24 points. This was undoubtedly a major blow to Wang Tianlin and others.

"How's the ratings of "Xiao Li Feidao"?"

Wang Tianlin turned to look at the staff and asked.

When the others heard Wang Tianlin's question, their ears couldn't help pricking up.

"The first episode of "Xiao Li Feidao" premiered... got a rating of 65 points, and it has remained at around 65 points since then."

When the staff finished speaking, Wang Tianlin was dumbfounded, unable to utter a word.

Wireless actually lost, and lost so badly, which made him feel so embarrassed.

But at this time on ATV's side, there was already a scene of joyous singing and laughing, with drums and drums rising.

The audience rating of 65 points is the highest rating that ATV has obtained since its establishment.

You must know that before this, more than 50% of the ratings exceeding [-] points were obtained by TVB.

Having been a supporting role for so long, ATV finally enjoyed the feeling of being a leading role during the Spring Festival in 1984.

"I want to inform Mr. Lin of the good news right away, and I will try my best to get the promotional draft of "Xiao Li Feidao" up. This time we will make persistent efforts and beat Wireless to the brim."
