The king of ghost horse comedy

Chapter 585
In the face of the aggressive Jiayi TV station, TVB also adopted a tough strategy.Cut down the poor ratings of "Where to Turn", and urgently recruited the first-line niche student Zhou Runfa to come back, and co-produced "Swordsman" with the first-line actress Huang Xingxiu to cope with Jiayi TV's "Four Famous Catches in Kanto".We also invite newcomers Ren Dalong and Tang Zhenye to co-star with newcomers Zhuang Jinger and Jing Daiyin in the light comedy "Happy Enemy".

Because this time is regarded as a moment of life and death by TVB, it is also the most serious challenge that Liang Shuyi has faced since taking over TVB, so TVB is united as one. "Swordsman" took a total of less than a week from the finalization of the filming plan to the broadcast of the first episode.

Because "Swordsman" uses the best actors in Taiwan at present, it goes without saying that Zhou Runfa, a "Shanghai Bund" is so popular that Huang Xingxiu previously starred in "Chu Liuxiang" and "Peerless Double Pride" Wait, she is also a well-known chivalrous woman now.In addition, Chen Yulian, who played the role of Saintess Ren Yingying, is also a newcomer that TVB has promoted in recent years.This time I can cooperate with my sweetheart, and I don't have to hide it day and night. I guess the two of them will be very happy.

In addition to Huang Xingxiu's junior sister and Chen Yulian's Ren Yingying, there is also a stunning beauty, Yilin's junior teacher, played by Zhou Xiulan, a newcomer who just graduated from TVB last year.Zhou Xiulan has a pretty face, she is a delicate and lovely girl, the most rare thing is that there is a group of children between her eyebrows, as if she will never grow up.It fits the personality of little teacher Yilin in the book.

After "Swordsman" was broadcast, the ratings of Jiayi TV Station, which was originally high, dropped rapidly, and soon it was only [-]-[-] with TVB.But even if it is five to five points, it is not what TVB is willing to see. You must know that the ratings of TVB before were overwhelming.

The main magic weapon for Jiayi TV to increase its ratings is the activity of watching TV and giving prizes.This model was originally created by Xu Guanwu, but it was carried forward by Jiayi.Now, in order to win the viewership, it is natural to fight, Leung Sook Yee also held a gift giving event for watching TV, and really fought with Jiayi TV.

The tip of the needle is facing the wheat awning. The two are originally equal, but the popularity of wireless has always been a little higher.The disadvantage of Jiayi TV Station is that it has no good Xiaosheng and Huadan, and it is difficult to compete with Zhou Runfa, Huang Xingxiu, Chen Yulian and other TVB artists. Therefore, the ratings began to shift, and TVB gradually gained the upper hand.However, because "Four Famous Catching Kanto" has already aired thirteen or four episodes, the plot has reached a small climax, and Swordsman has just started broadcasting, so the current ratings are still divided between six and four, and Jiayi TV is not behind too much.

As for Jiayi TV's current Miss Oriental beauty pageant with great fanfare, the amount of prizes has also risen again and again, but TVB has not followed suit blindly.The prize money for the champion of Jiayi TV Station is 100 million Hong Kong dollars. To be honest, this prize money is really too high.

Now a big-name star like Cheng Long only pays 50 Hong Kong dollars for a movie.And TV stars like Zheng Shaoqiu, Zhou Runfa, Liu Songren, etc. are popular and well-known enough, but the salary for a movie is less than 100 Hong Kong dollars.No matter how popular the champion of the Miss Dongfang beauty pageant is, it is difficult to compare with Qiuguan, Fazai, Renge and others. Now that they are awarded a bonus of [-] million, they will have to work for at least three or four years in the future to pay back their capital. The rate of return It was too long and too slow.What's more, beauty pageants are held every year, and countless beauties come to participate in each session.The opposite of rare is expensive is that there are too many beautiful women and they are worthless.The title of Miss Oriental alone is not worth that much money.

Therefore, TVB did not blindly increase the bonus amount because it wanted to compete with Jiayi.However, it also increased the investment of 150 million, inviting contestants to go to Paris, France for location shooting.This is the first time in the history of the beauty pageant in Hong Kong.

Paris already has the title of romantic capital and fashion capital.More than a dozen beauties went to Paris for shopping and arranging programs to promote Hong Kong by the way. It was a very pleasant thing, and it also echoed the concept of the Miss Hong Kong beauty pageant, which is to promote the beauty of Hong Kong to the outside world through Miss Hong Kong.

TVB's move has greatly increased the viewability of the program, and it has raised the level of this program to a level, making Miss Hong Kong a bit international.Compared with the Miss Oriental beauty pageant, which is limited to Hong Kong, it can't help but look a bit rural.

Although Jiayi TV has attracted more beauties than TVB by virtue of its high bonuses.But in terms of the viewability of the program, TVB is still slightly better.Therefore, in terms of ratings, the Miss Oriental pageant is still not comparable to the Miss Hong Kong pageant.Jiayi TV station missed a move this time, but just lost money and made money.

Liang Shuyi won the two rounds calmly, and the outside world couldn't help but praise her, thinking that she is indeed capable of taking over Mr. Li Xiaohe's class.

It is worth mentioning that the outside world also thinks that Jiayi's defeat this time is an honor, because no TV station has beaten TVB so embarrassingly for a long time.What's more, the ratings of the drama "Four Famous Catching Kanto" once led the way, and it was regarded as an unprecedented miracle.

Compared with TVB and Jiayi, who are fighting fiercely, the previous Wannian Erli is much more silent.Although a month has passed, Qiu Degen and the Australian consortium still haven't negotiated a price.Qiu Degen was only willing to pay 3000 million Hong Kong dollars at most, and the Australian consortium would not sell unless it was 5000 million Hong Kong dollars.The two parties were entangled in the 2000 million Hong Kong dollars and were unable to reach an agreement for a long time.

To be honest, Xu Guanwu also thinks that Li TV station is not worth 5000 million Hong Kong dollars at all, because all its current hardware and equipment add up to only more than 2000 million Hong Kong dollars. Even if it includes its own film library, it is at most 3000 million Hong Kong dollars That's all.The most valuable thing about a TV station is the license and the contracts of its employees.

However, after the Australian consortium took over, most of its employees were dismissed first, and the old courtiers Huang Xizhao, Mai Dangxiong and others were driven out of the company, which greatly hurt the feelings of a group of old courtiers.Afterwards, they did not invest in filming new dramas, so the employees who originally planned to stay in the TV station also left one after another. Now Li's TV station has become an empty shelf. Except for a few employees who can't go out, the other employees are looking for their own ways outside. .

If Li's TV station was worth 5000 million before, now even [-] million Hong Kong dollars is not worth it.It's a pity that the Australian consortium still can't see through this point, and still thinks that they can't lose money, so they can't sell Li's TV station for a long time.The TV station can't sell and has no new investment. Except for some self-produced programs, the daily programs are all rebroadcasted from previous old dramas. It is natural to imagine that the ratings are only bad.The advertising revenue is low due to the poor ratings, so that now the monthly advertising fee can be collected in the millions, but now it is only a few hundred thousand, which is just enough for the basic salary of the employees, and because of this, there are many complaints, and there are often employees holding signs Go to Hong Kong Government House to protest.

……

When Xu Guanwu accompanied Lin Qingxia's mother and daughter back to Hong Kong, he happened to see Lidi's employees gathered at the gate of the Hong Kong Governor's Mansion, standing there holding signs. Although they didn't shout slogans, the words on the signs The words are already obvious.

"The government withdrew Lai's license and protested the inaction of the Australian consortium"

"We have to work, we have to eat"

"Lei's majesty rises, the consortium gets out"

……

"Why is Li's TV station so difficult now?" Lin Qingxia saw the handwriting on the sign through the glass, and looked at Xu Guanwudao suspiciously.

"The Australian consortium is an iron rooster, and they don't pull anything out. Now Li is dead. Actors, photographers, etc. can still find odd jobs outside. How can these ordinary employees, office boys, assistant screenwriters and other low-level employees find them? No wonder they came back This side protested." Xu Guanwu sighed.

"Well, I don't know if the Hong Kong government will respond to such a protest?" Lin Qingxia also said with some sympathy, "The Australian consortium is really too much, since it bought Li's TV station, why should it run well? What does it look like?"

"They didn't intend to run Li's TV station properly, they just wanted to buy and sell to make a fortune." Xu Guanwu said contemptuously, "Now they can't sell it, and they don't want to pay for Li's recovery, no wonder Li It's going to get worse and worse, and now it's not as good as Jiayi's popularity. He only wants the horse to run, but also wants the horse not to eat grass, he can do all good things by himself."

……

Chatting with Lin Qingxia back home, after packing up all the luggage, Xu Guanwu went home first with the gift he bought for Zhao Yazhi.

But when I got home, I didn't see her, only the nanny was coaxing her son to sleep.No matter how sleepy the little guy was, Xu Guanwu first hugged him and sucked his face twice, waking his son up, and then went to the set with the nanny and son.

Zhao Yazhi is currently filming in Kowloon, and she hasn't seen her for a month, and she doesn't know if she's getting fat or thin, which makes Xu Guanwu very worried.It's just that Qingxia was always by my side in the United States at that time, so he always groped quietly when making calls.To be honest, Xu Guanwu felt that he was already mentally exhausted and had no energy to chase another girl after he had been circling between the two women all the time, plus Deng Lijun who was unknown to him.

"In those YY novels, the male protagonists are always ten or eight confidante, how did they do it?" Xu Guanwu couldn't help but wonder.

Of course, this may also have something to do with his high requirements. Xu Guanwu knows that he has a mental cleanliness addiction, and he doesn't like to play on the spot, and he also doesn't like too casual beauties, which makes him have fewer choices.

For women who work hard in the entertainment industry, there are fewer white lotus flowers and more black fungus.After all, those who can be actors are basically extroverts, otherwise it would be difficult to perform in front of the camera.Moreover, sometimes because of the needs of the plot, actors will inevitably cuddle, make love, and even have sex scenes, so the sense of moral restraint is relatively weak.In addition, there are many handsome men and beautiful women in the entertainment industry, and there are many rich people who are courteous, so some things are inevitable.

Zhao Yazhi was divorced once in her previous life, and she was also rumored to have an affair with Huang Yuanshen who played the hero Huo Yuanjia.Lin Qingxia even talked about a love triangle with Qin Han, Qin Xianglin and others.Deng Lijun has also been in love many times, and finally she has a French boyfriend who is a dozen years younger than her.

And these celebrities are not too scandalous and have a good image.As for those actresses whose images are ugly and scandals are flying everywhere, their love history is even richer. Everyone can't do it unless they have been in love ten or eight times.

For these women, Xu Guanwu naturally kept a respectful distance.To be honest, although he was scolded by the outside world for being romantic, from Zhao Yazhi to Deng Lijun, he has only dated three women, and he is much cleaner than those stars who have several love histories at every turn.

……

I drove to Longhu Mountain in Kowloon, where "Mad Robbery" was filmed today.

As soon as Xu Guanwu went there, he could feel the solemn atmosphere in the crew. Everyone seemed to be extra cautious, as if there was a time bomb in the crowd.

Xu Guanwu couldn't help walking over curiously, and saw the director Xu Anhua squatting on the ground, smoking one by one, there were always about a dozen cigarette butts on the ground.

The other actors stood by and waited silently, looking like elementary school students being scolded.

Producer Teddy Robin was with a crying girl, quietly persuading her.

Xu Guanwu couldn't help feeling extremely puzzled. He had been to countless sets, and this was the first time he saw such a weird scene.

Just as he was about to ask what was going on, Teddy Robin saw him and immediately clapped his hands, "It's good that you're here!"
