Treasure Island 1992, starting from the Four Little Heavenly Kings

"My Date with a Zombie", which has attracted a lot of attention in itself, has become even more popular due to the media's publicity.

It attracted the attention of a large number of viewers even before it was broadcast.

With this huge attention, on November 12, "I Have a Date with a Zombie" was officially launched on ATV during the prime time slot in the evening.

Big investment has its benefits, and with the addition of Chen Qiming, this drama broke ATV's TV series premiere ratings record this year as soon as it aired, with the first-day ratings reaching 29%.

"Obviously he's so handsome!"

"It's not Mingming, it's Yin Tianzhao! His name is Yin Tianzhao in the play."

"Don't you find that Wan Qiwen is very beautiful? Especially those legs. I wish I had a girlfriend like this."

"I really hope Ming Tsai can do more TV series. I really want to see him on TV every day."

"I don't care what kind of celebrity Ming Tsai is. The main reason why I can make a TV series this time is because "My Date with a Zombie" is a drama of ATV, and Ming Tsai has just taken over ATV.

Otherwise, we may never have the chance to see him act on TV in this life. "

There is no doubt that "My Date with a Zombie" immediately aroused heated discussion after it was aired.

In the following days, as the popularity increased, the ratings of this TV series also continued to rise.

By the third day, the ratings reached an unprecedented 35%.

From the perspective of market potential, this drama has obviously not reached its limit.

According to expert estimates, the ratings of this drama may exceed 40.

Breaking forty, what is the concept?
Let’s put it this way, the competition between ATV and TVB in recent years has always ended in TVB’s victory.

In every duel, ATV failed completely.

TVB's success relies on some popular dramas.

Among them are many dramas that are popular throughout Asia.

For example, "The Legend of the Condor Heroes" in 95 and "Dragon" last year.

How popular are these two dramas?
It is no exaggeration to say that the main actors in it can basically be recognized by men, women, old and young when they walk on the street.

This is not only true in Hong Kong, but also in mainland China, Taiwan, Singapore and other places.

And even for such a popular drama, the highest ratings when they were broadcast were only in the 30s.

It can be seen from this that if "A Date with a Zombie" reaches a ratings of 40%, how much impact will it have.

For details, please refer to "Huan Zhuge Ge". This drama was broadcast on ATV in June, and its ratings broke history, reaching 49% at its peak.

Can "My Date with a Zombie" be compared to "My Fair Princess"?

To be honest, Chen Qiming had never thought about this.

Although the outside world has always said that his "A Date with a Zombie" is comparable to "My Fair Princess", Chen Qiming is very clear that there is a gap between the two dramas.

That’s not to say that “A Date with a Zombie” is not as good as My Fair Princess.

But it is impossible to compare the two together.

The genres of the two dramas are different, and they are in the right time and place like "Huanzhugege". "A Date with a Zombie" cannot be compared to the drama.

Therefore, he never thought about surpassing Princess Huanzhu.

Speaking of "Huanzhugege", I have to say one thing here.

Before "Huan Zhu Ge Ge" was broadcast on ATV, Chen Qiming relied on his foresight to sign several drama contracts with several of the starring actors in this drama.

The first is Zhao Wei.

Putting aside Zhao Dayan's character issues, it is undeniable that she was very popular during the period when Princess Huanzhu was popular.

It is no exaggeration to say that as long as she appears in that drama, she can add a lot of ratings to the drama.

Chen Qiming is now considered a businessman.

So he won't think about what will happen to Zhao Dayan in the future.

What he has to do now is to fulfill his duties as a capitalist and try his best to squeeze the existence of Zhao Dayan who can benefit his creation.

Three plays.

Three TV series, each costing 50,000 yuan, totaling 150,000 yuan.

This is the contract that Chen Qiming signed with Zhao Wei.

At that time, Zhao Wei was just a newcomer and she was very excited to sign this contract.

Then, after "Huan Zhuge Ge" became popular, she felt regretful and asked her agent to find ATV more than once, hoping to modify the contract.

I don’t blame her for wanting to change the contract.

She was really at a loss.

How popular is the character Xiao Yanzi?
Let's just say that throughout Southeast Asia, most countries have introduced this TV series and attracted huge attention locally.

Several protagonists, including Zhao Wei, became famous immediately and became popular A-list stars with this one drama.

Currently, the lowest price for Zhao Wei's drama is RMB 50,000 per episode.

Fifty thousand episodes, how many episodes does a TV series have? These days, a TV series has at least thirty episodes.

Even if calculated based on thirty episodes, one movie only costs 50,000 yuan. Now Zhao Dayan's movie will cost at least 1.5 million yuan.

As a result, ATV won three dramas for only 150,000 yuan, and the specific number of episodes is not yet known.

One can imagine how regretful Zhao Dayan was.

Said Cao Cao, Cao Cao.

On the sixth day after "The Deadline" aired, Zhao Dayan came to visit us again.

With her is her great benefactor Qiong Yao.

"Miss Zhao, Ms. Qiong Yao, long time no see."

In the company office, Chen Qiming received them after learning that the two came to see him.

"Mr. Chen has been really prosperous recently. Wherever he goes, I can hear discussions about your TV series."

Compared with when we met before, Qiong Yao had the attitude that I am a senior and I look down on young singers like you.

In the past two meetings, Qiong Yao no longer showed that arrogance, but kept her posture very low.

As soon as he came up, he started to flatter Chen Qiming.

"Ms. Qiong Yao is joking. Compared to your drama Fair Princess, our drama is far behind!" Chen Qiming responded modestly.

After asking his assistant to get a cup of tea for the two of them, Chen Qiming asked, "You two came to the door in person. I think they came to the Three Treasures Hall for nothing.

If you have anything, please mention it. "

Qiong Yao glanced at her beloved general Zhao Dayan.

At this time, Zhao Dayan had thick eyebrows and big eyes, looking very lively and cute.

But, perhaps because she was embarrassed, she was lowering her head.

"Actually, it's not a big deal. It's just about your company's film contract with Zhao Wei. I hope your company can take my face into account and make some changes.

After all, Mr. Chen, you also know that taking away three of her dramas for 150,000 yuan is really unjustifiable. "

"Ms. Qiong Yao, there is nothing unjustifiable about this.

Our contract with Ms. Zhao was signed before "Huan Zhu Ge Ge" was aired.

Who knew at the time that this drama would be a hit?

Can you confirm 100%?

The 153,000 plays we offered at that time were entirely based on the market price.

It is no exaggeration to say that this price was still too high for Miss Zhao at that time.

Now that Ms. Zhao is famous and her salary exceeds this range, you ask us to change the contract.

If everyone was like this, wouldn't we have to change contracts for many people every year? "

As he said that, Chen Qiming looked at Zhao Dayan and said, "Miss Zhao, in our line of work, the spirit of contract is very important.

We never thought that you would be so popular. At that time, you were just a newcomer who had appeared in one or two dramas. Fifty thousand yuan for a drama was not low at all.

I also thought you had potential, so I asked someone to sign this contract with you.

Now, if you get angry, come back to me to change the contract.

If everyone were like you, wouldn't my huge ATV TV station be in chaos? "

As soon as Chen Qiming's words came out.

Qiong Yao stopped talking.

She originally came with the attitude of giving it a try.

Seeing that Chen Qiming seemed angry, she was unwilling to touch Chen Qiming's brow.

"I'm sorry, I'm sorry! Mr. Chen, it's my fault. I'm too petty."

Seeing that Chen Qiming seemed to be angry, Zhao Dayan no longer cared about increasing his salary and hurriedly stood up and apologized.

The person in front of me is no ordinary person.

This is the boss of a Hong Kong film giant, the chairman of a television station, the owner of a famous sports brand, a billionaire, and he can talk and laugh happily with the officials.

She really didn't want to see the other party get angry and then block her.

You know, I am very talented.

While apologizing, she complained about her sister-in-law, her manager Chen Rong.

If she hadn't always cared about the remuneration, she wouldn't have come to ATV again and again to talk about increasing her remuneration.

Chen Qiming will not be offended by this.

Now, she just hopes that Mr. Chen Qiming has a lot of money and doesn't care too much about her.
