Rebirth of Hong Kong - 1978

Chapter 351 "Shanghai Bund" strikes

"Wireless filmed a movie called "Shanghai Bund". The main character was the young boy Chow Yun-fat from TVB. They wanted to use this movie to attack us. I think Fang Yat-wah is really crazy this time. Feel."

In the meeting room of ATV, they are discussing the upcoming TV series "Shanghai Beach" which will be released by TVB.

However, it seemed that all the people present at the meeting did not pay attention to TVB's "Shanghai Bund".

At this time, ATV's "Six Tribulations of a Floating Life" had much better ratings than the previous one, and the reason for such a good ratings was all because of the relationship between Leslie Cheung and Chen Yulian.

With these two of ATV's most popular stars playing the leading roles, it is difficult to predict the ratings.

As for TVB's "Shanghai Bund", although the heroine is Zhao Yazhi, it didn't make them feel any nervous.

"I heard that "Shanghai Bund" originally had Zheng Shaoqiu as the leading role, but Chow Yun-fat was replaced because of physical discomfort. I think TVB is already at the end of its life, and it won't be long before our ratings will surpass TVB. "

Since Qiu Degen took over ATV, everything has been going smoothly. With his large capital injection, Mai Dangxiong, Xiao Ruoyuan and others don't need to worry about production costs.

It's just that Xiao Sheng who was sitting on the side didn't seem interested in this topic, and he didn't see him participating in the discussion on this topic from beginning to end.

In fact, Xiao Sheng had secretly contacted TVB many times before, but the price offered by the other party could not satisfy him, so he is still staying at ATV.

However, Wireless seems to have sensed the danger recently, so they have re-quoted a generous price, which made Xiao Sheng start to hesitate.

"Producer Xiao, you must continue to work hard on "Lake and Sea Contest" next, and it would be the best to cut TVB's highly anticipated "Shanghai Bund" in half."

As the director of the production department, Mai Dangxiong certainly hopes to be able to overwhelm Wireless.

But when Mai Dangxiong finished speaking, Xiao Sheng didn't seem to respond, as if he was thinking about something.

After the people next to him called him a few times, Xiao Sheng realized it all at once.

"Oh... sorry, I was just thinking about the plot to be filmed tomorrow, so I got a little distracted, sorry."

Xiao Sheng explained casually.

But his actions caught Xiao Ruoyuan's attention, thinking about what he heard recently, Xiao Ruoyuan couldn't help frowning slightly.

"Since this is the case, everyone should go back to work. Mr. Qiu has already said that this year's goal is to increase our ratings by ten points. We must live up to his expectations of us."

After Mai Dangxiong finished speaking, everyone left the office, and only Xiao Ruoyuan stayed behind. It seemed that he had something to say to Mai Dangxiong.

"I think Xiao Sheng is a bit weird recently. According to the on-site staff, he often gets a little distracted when filming recently. I suspect that he may have to switch to TVB."

When Mai Dangxiong, who was packing his things, heard what Xiao Ruoyuan said, he immediately turned his head with a shocked expression.

Since Xiao Sheng left Jiayi, he has been with ATV for almost three years, and he has also produced several TV series with good ratings.

You must know that he is currently producing a large-scale costume drama. If he suddenly switches to TVB now, the impact on ATV is not a joke.

"Are you sure you read it right?"

Mai Dangxiong looked at Xiao Ruoyuan suspiciously, because this is not a joke.

"Do you think I'm a nonsense person? Although this is just my guess, I think I have to guard against it."

Xiao Ruoyuan and several others were in charge of the screenwriter of this "Lake and Sea Contest", so he knew more about Xiao Sheng's situation.

This drama brings together Mi Xue, Huang Yuanshen, Huang Yuncai, Yu Anan, Zeng Jiang and others. It can be said that this is a period drama carefully crafted by ATV.

And for this reason, they went to the cold country to take pictures, but they spent a lot of money.

God knows what will happen if Xiao Sheng, who is the producer, suddenly jumps to TVB at this time.

"It's not easy for me to do what you have no evidence now."

It sounds like these are just Xiao Ruoyuan's guesses. If he has any real evidence, Mai Dangxiong can directly change the producer now.

But only relying on Xiao Ruoyuan's guess will replace Xiao Sheng. If this matter gets out, it will definitely not be a good thing for ATV.

Some people even think that McDonald is using power to overwhelm others. Once the matter reaches Qiu Degen's ears, his position as the director of the production department may come to an end.

"Forget it, I'll be watching this drama for a while, and if something goes wrong, you'll immediately arrange for a producer to take over."

Xiao Ruoyuan also couldn't think of any good solution, all they can do now is stop quietly, if Xiao Sheng didn't have the best idea of ​​jumping to TVB.

But once he has this idea, they can also use the shortest speed to make up for the harm caused by his job-hopping.

.........

However, what Xiao Ruoyuan was worried about happened not long after. Just a few days after the meeting, Xiao Sheng took Wen Xueer to move to Wireless.

"This hit the street, fortunately, I was vigilant before, otherwise I don't know what to do now."

Mai Dangxiong looked very unhappy with a sullen face.

Xiao Sheng left as soon as he left, but he not only left ATV by himself, but also brought Wen Xueer to TVB.

You must know that Wen Xueer is a very good martial arts actor. It can be said that it is very rare for an actress to know kung fu.

"Forget it, it's too late to say these things now, what we have to do now is to make a good film of "The Record of Hegemony in the Lake and Sea", and try not to be affected by Xiao Sheng's job-hopping."

What Xiao Ruoyuan thought was quite simple. After all, even if Xiao Sheng switched to Wireless, although it would have some impact on ATV in a short period of time, it would not be so bad in the long run.

After all, there are not a few people who can shoot costume dramas on TVB, even if he jumps over, it won't pose too much threat to ATV.

And now Huang Yuanshen and Huang Yuncai have transferred to ATV's side, and TVB's side is experiencing a small shortage, otherwise Chow Yun-fat would not be allowed to replace Zheng Shaoqiu in "Shanghai Beach".

However, when ATV was still focusing on Xiao Sheng's job-hopping to TVB, "Shanghai Bund" officially premiered that night.

This TV series, which was not taken seriously by ATV, was matched with "Six Tribulations of a Floating Life" which had been broadcast to the later stage when it was broadcast on the first day.

The two sides were evenly tied, and each scored 40.00% five ratings.

You must know that before this, "The Six Tribulations of a Floating Life" had always been pressing the TVB, and almost no one could have imagined that such a situation would appear as soon as "Shanghai Bund" started broadcasting.

And with the passage of time, the power of "Shanghai Bund" is gradually revealed, and almost every episode can refresh the ratings of the show.

It wasn't until this time that ATV realized that they all misjudged this "Shanghai Beach".
