Chapter 641

The live broadcast of Teresa Teng's concert made the entire Hong Kong TV circle feel extremely uneasy and panicked.

For a while, the two major TV dynasties, Lidi and TVB, held high-level meetings to discuss how to deal with Wang Xiaohu's high-profile entry into the TV industry.

They can't help but panic. Phoenix TV's "Creating Frequency" has won 85% of the audience ratings in Hong Kong. Such a high ratings directly make the colleagues feel ashamed.

In Fang Yihua's opinion, Concord at this time is far from the small satellite company that was slaughtered by Golden Harvest 10 years ago. Under the leadership of Wang Xiaohu, Concord basically ruled the entire Hong Kong film industry, even his husband's Shaw Brothers. Under the huge pressure of Xiehe, he chose to retreat to avoid his edge.

After Wang Xiaohu unified the Hong Kong film industry either explicitly or implicitly, he continued to expand the mainland film market, which would have given Fong Yat-wah some peace of mind, but last night's concert made her worry again.

That's 85% of the ratings. Even in the heyday of TVB, the highest ratings were only 60%. Moreover, it was based on the records set by Wang Xiaohu's "Fist of Fury" and "Shanghai Beach". As the real mother of TVB, Fang Yat-hua I know how scary Wang Xiaohu is!

Even if Run Run Shaw told Fong Yat Wah that night: Wang Xiaohu had no intention of developing TV dramas, but only developed on the two channels of music channel and movie channel, Fong Yat Wah always felt very insecure.

So after the live broadcast of Teresa Teng's concert, Fang Yat-hua notified the TVB executives to hold a meeting at 9 o'clock tomorrow morning, but Zheng Shaoqiu and Wang Mingquan were half a minute late, and they were talking and laughing when they entered the conference room. If she could not be angry, Aunt Six went into a rage and scolded the two of them.

So far, everyone could see that Sixth Aunt was very angry today, and everyone obediently listened to the training with their tails between their legs, not daring to take a breath for fear of becoming Sixth Aunt's blowing bag.

After letting go of the anger, Fang Yihua issued an order with a cold face: "Phoenix TV will rebroadcast Teresa Teng's concert this afternoon. Everyone must watch it and absorb the strengths of Phoenix TV. Everyone must write a summary book and send it over."

Everyone nodded hurriedly. This task is relatively easy to complete. After all, TVB can maintain its current scale. In terms of programs, it not only creates its own programs, but also learns the strengths of Li's TV station. Only by fully understanding the strengths of the enemy can we learn from each other's strengths.

"There are still two live broadcasts of the concert, I don't care what method you use, in short, we must ensure that our TVB ratings will not be lowered!"

Everyone trembled when they heard the words, how to guarantee?Who can guarantee?How to guarantee it?
Not to mention anything else, TVB's old variety show "Happy Tonight" is such a powerful program, the ratings only account for 7%, and the rest is supported by Zheng Shaoqiu's several TV series and a group of young students who have just been trained.

Wang Xiaohu and Long Zichen teamed up to snatch 85% of the ratings in one fell swoop. This kind of powerful technique is something that outsiders can't learn even if they want to.

What, you said you also invite singers to hold live concerts to grab business?
Come on, who is more popular than Teresa Teng in the entire Hong Kong singing industry?

Maybe there are, such as Lin Zixiang, Xu Guanjie, Zhen Ni, etc., but who can be as willing to spend money as Wang Xiaohu and Long Zichen?I heard that the two of them just invested 1000 million Hong Kong dollars in investment, 1000 million Hong Kong dollars, it was definitely not the work of TVB, who is used to being petty.

Everyone stared wide-eyed and small-eyed for a long time, their faces were full of difficult, impossible, and impossible expressions. Seeing that Fang Yihua was about to burst into flames, someone said: "Fang Dong, in fact, Phoenix only broadcasts three live broadcasts. It’s just one night, after these three nights, they won’t have such high ratings, I don’t think we should bother.”

This person said what everyone wanted to say, so that everyone praised his courage, but Fang Yihua snorted coldly, pointed at the person and said, "You, get out now, and you will never use it again." Come to work!"

"Sigh~~~"

There was a clear and audible sound of breathing in the meeting room, everyone stared at the boss, and watched helplessly as the person who provoked Fanghu's anger left. It was not that everyone didn't want to help plead, after all, he was an old man, and he couldn't speak. reasonable.

A few people shook their heads and sighed inwardly. It seemed that they had to communicate with Uncle Shao Sixth later.

"Fang Dong, didn't Wang Xiaohu sing "Shanghai Beach" last night? I think the audience would definitely want to replay it. Why don't we schedule a replay from tomorrow? Two episodes a day will be broadcast simultaneously, which should increase the ratings." Don't be afraid to speak out.

Fang Yihua frowned and thought for a moment, "It's possible, you will be responsible for this matter later."

The two major TV stations are doing the same thing as if facing a big enemy, and the instigator, Wang Xiaohu, is checking the picture and sound quality of the experimental version of "Mulan" again in the Xiehe editing room, as well as whether there are any goofy shots in the film.

After all, it is the first time to participate in the Cannes Film Festival. A commercial director like Wang Xiaohu does not have much research on art films. There is no precise positioning.

However, he knew that filmmakers from mainland China and Hong Kong had a close relationship with Cannes. In 1964, Chinese director Tang Cheng won an honorary award at the 1975th Cannes Film Festival with an ink cartoon "Little Tadpole Looking for Mom". , produced by Shaw Brothers and directed by Hu Jinquan, "Chivalrous Woman" won the Cannes Technology Award again, becoming the first Chinese-language film to win Cannes.

After Wang Xiaohu was reborn, he directed "Fist of Fury", "Righteous Hero", "Ip Man", "Enter the Dragon", "Journey of Courage", "Rocky", "Home Alone", "A Hu", "A Lang's Story" ", "Hong Xiguan", "Mythology", "Shaolin Temple" and more than a dozen movies. It seems that except for "Rocky" which has slammed the Oscars, other movies have not participated in promotional activities such as film festivals. If it weren't for this time If Winterdur forcibly signs up for "Mulan", he will definitely not participate in the Cannes Film Festival.

Maybe it's because Wang Xiaohu took away four statuettes when he won the award for the first time, maybe it's because he didn't have much concept of trophies in his heart. In short, now he has finally begun to realize that making movies is not only for box office revenue, but also for Participate in major film festivals and awards ceremonies. Only in this way can we better promote Chinese oriental culture.

As for the Oscars, Wang Xiaohu can only smile wryly. He is making money in the United States. If he wants to spend huge sums of money on some Oscar statuettes, he will not do such a stupid thing unless his head is showing off.

On May 1982, 5, with the investment of Xiehe Film Production Company, "Hit the Wrong Car" directed by Huang Baiming began to be released in mainland China. At the same time as this film, "North and South Shaolin", which was almost dead by the Shaw Brothers, was also released in mainland China.

Two films with different styles set off another round of craze in mainland China. Needless to say, "North and South Shaolin", after all, it was staged by the original "Shaolin Temple", so the degree of attention was naturally extraordinary, while "Hitching the Wrong Car" was a big hit. It earned the tears of hundreds of millions of people.

Before leaving Hong Kong for Paris, Wang Xiaohu had to learn about the internal situation of the company.

After more than a year of continuous enrichment, Jackie Chan finally found a development path with his two brothers, Sammo Hung and Yuen Biao. This year they will jointly produce two films, namely "Five Lucky Stars" and "Project A".

In the cast list of "Five Lucky Stars", Wang Xiaohu unexpectedly found a familiar name: Zhong Chuhong.

"Huh, has Hong Gu debuted?" Wang Xiaohu asked Sammo Hung.

"That's right!" Sammo Hung nodded his fat head and said, "It's been almost three years since I debuted. I have filmed "Clear Water and Cold Mountain Killing Gold" directed by To Qifeng, and also starred in "Scary People". Difficult Brothers, Difficult Brothers, Honggu is very popular now! Uncle Liu’s new director, Wang Jing, is going to grab her to shoot "Flowers and Young Boys". If I hadn’t signed the contract quickly, I might have been succeeded by that little fat man Wang Jing !"

"Oh." Wang Xiaohu patted his forehead, feeling that he usually only pays attention to the film kings and queens, and even Hong Gu, who is known as the "Top Ten Sexy Goddesses" in Hong Kong and Taiwan, didn't know her debut. Tragedy, tragedy .

After emotionally telling Sammo Hung and Jackie Chan to focus on filming, Wang Xiaohu met Huang Baiming again in the office.

"Ah Ming, don't mix with Mai Jia and Shi Tian for the time being, focus on literary films, finish the post-production of "Mom Loves Me Again" as soon as possible, and go to the screenwriting department to get a movie called "The Star Knows My Heart" "The script of the TV series, it will be OK after filming this year."

Huang Baiming naturally looks up to his master. In the entire New Art City company, he is the second largest shareholder besides Mai Jia. Mai Jia, Shi Tian, ​​Zeng Zhiwei, Tsui Hark, and Teddy Robin take the commercial route. Temporarily taking the literary and artistic route will not only broaden the scope of the development of New Art City, but also allow New Art City to leave a good reputation in the literary and art film industry.

Wang Xiaohu's arrangement was not a temporary idea, because he knew that Huang Baiming's ability to control literary and artistic films was much better than Mai Jia and Shi Tian. Not to mention anything else, Zheng Zeshi's "Why Me" alone set a good box office and word of mouth.

Furthermore, the TV series "The Star Knows My Heart" achieved a relatively high ratings in China. Currently, "Fearless" is ready to be broadcast on TV stations in Guangdong, Shanghai, BJ, Shandong, etc. Wang Xiaohu does not want to give up this A tear-jerking TV series. (I think back then, when Xiaomi was still young, he would often go to his neighbor's house to watch "The Star Knows My Heart", and he cried so much.)
Isn't it rumored that Lidi and TVB are going to enter the Hong Kong TV drama circle now? Wang Xiaohu's doing this is to reassure the hearts of the two major TV dynasties, lest they have trouble sleeping and eating.
