My Lord, you need to stand up!

Chapter 870 It’s better to leave the remaining brave men to chase the poor bandits

Qin Yuye still accompanied them, braving the typhoon to reach the TV station.

How could she possibly miss such a scene while dressed in fine clothes and out in the dark?

Even with Typhoon Signal No. 8 hoisted, large groups of reporters still crowded in front of the Asia Television headquarters.

Upon seeing the convoy arrive, they immediately rushed to the roadside to snap photos.

At this moment, Wei Dong's "internet celebrity" mentality was immediately triggered. He slowed down and turned around to signal Qin Yuye: "Say a few words publicly, tell everyone not to get wet in the rain, and come to the TV station to rest and be interviewed. Play the emotional card."

Having already helped conquer quite a bit of territory, Qin Yuye instantly understood, and leaned out through the side sliding door that Shen Cuiyue had opened.

Ignoring the raindrops that immediately pelted her face, she giggled and said, "The wind and rain are too strong, please come in and have some ginger soup so you don't get sick..."

This moment was quickly captured on camera and featured in all media outlets, including TVB's news programs.

A young female CEO dressed in a glamorous dress leaned out and hung on the side of the car; this posture should not be seen on a boss of this level.

The white fashion shirt with a stand-up collar is delicate and charming under the pink suit, and a silk scarf accentuates her exquisite face.

Even when her carefully styled hair is immediately plastered to her face, there is no trace of dishevelment, only a vibrant and radiant beauty.

For a moment, all the cameras were shooting from a low angle to capture her essence.

Despite knowing that her husband is the actual controller, she still stands out from the other television tycoons.

They actually came in a minivan worth over 100,000 yuan, and their concern in the wind and rain was whether the reporters would suffer from getting wet.

In the past, none of those bosses would care about the plight of a lowly reporter on the street. If they could just roll down their car window and give them a smile, they would be flattered.

Is this the style from the North?
In particular, many shots also captured Bo Tsai-tung sitting in the driver's seat.

Based on his previous appearances, he does seem to exude a different kind of red capitalist aura.

The reporters were all surprised.

Moreover, as they were about to enter the TV station through the open gates, they saw the young female CEO, disregarding the fact that she had only shown her head and that half of her body was already soaked, first ordering the preparation of ginger soup, hot water, towels, and hair dryers to wipe the reporters down and keep them warm, and then bringing out the T-shirts and other items that the station should have in stock to give to everyone to change into.

It's impossible not to be moved.

Especially with such a young leader, he exudes such a vibrant and approachable charm.

He gives off a very different vibe from those cunning and calculating big shots.
Even the staff at ATV were surprised.

Cheer up and follow along to assist with the work.

To Wei Dong's surprise, Liang Yiwei, Ah Qian, and Ah Ling also came out to greet him, along with the exhausted Liang Jiahui and the others.

"You two...aren't you next door? Aren't you afraid of getting into trouble?"

In fact, when filming "God of Gamblers", the supporting actors for Chow Yun-fat were originally supposed to be Lau Tak-wah and Chiao Yi, and then Cheung Man would make a cameo appearance.

But now that Lau Tak-wah is famous, he's in a hot position where everyone is vying for film contracts, so there's no need to specifically ask him to fill in for roles.

Leung Yee-wai, who comes over every day to cheer on his friends and visit his girlfriend on set, is a great guy.

He's similar to Rong Gu; he works in television dramas and is contracted with TVB. Recently, he's been filming movies and TV shows.

Wei Dong didn't interfere because he knew that A Ling would later become his wife, and the three of them were now in a complicated relationship.

Moreover, Leung Chi-wai's career is currently better than Leung Ka-fai's and Stephen Chow's; he's already on the right track, so there's no need to interrupt.

So I basically didn't make any arrangements for these two.

Only Ah Ling actively participated in the film company.

Now I'm also speaking up for my best friend and her friends: "Last night we were attending a premiere at another cinema, and we got the news very late. We talked all night about how they both wanted to join Tung Sing or ATV. I told them that both are under Pitt's leadership and they definitely have a future."

Ah Qian used to host programs with Stephen Chow at TVB. Now she mainly acts in TV dramas. She said with a youthful excitement: "My contract with Stephen Chow is about to expire, and I have basically stopped participating in TV programs. So I see that Sister Yung has switched to this channel. I am very happy to be filming this time and I hope to participate more!"

Leung Yee-wai and Stephen Chow are somewhat similar in this respect; they want to be enthusiastic but can't be that smooth. They're definitely good at acting, but when they try to be sincere, they seem awkward: "Me... same way."

They couldn't even make eye contact.

Previously, it was just a film company, and Wei Dong was only brought in to promote the basketball industry. With Shuang Zhou as his right-hand man and Liang Jiahui as center, there was no need to worry too much about the other players.

Television stations are different now; they really need to operate as a team.

Haha laughed and said, "Tony will join the film company and get some shares, just like Stephen Chow. We still won't restrict your film contracts. You can make movies and work with whoever you want. But I will definitely reward Ah Ling for her initiative. In a few days, Ah Fai and I will go to Shanghai to talk to the relevant parties and try to get 'The Chess King' broadcast in the mainland. Do you want to come with us?"

Ah Ling, who grew up in Jiangsu and Zhejiang, immediately nodded and agreed. Liang Jiahui and the others waited until the three of them finished speaking before gathering around and handing over a large stack of various forms: "It's easy to understand the variety show channel. Everyone has a lot of ideas about making variety shows. At this stage, interspersing basketball and other sports events should also be temporary, right? In this case, you can apply for a third channel, but basketball alone can't fill a channel, can it?"

Stephen Chow and Ng Man-tat both said, "We're fine with bringing a show to the beginning, as long as it's entertaining and funny."

Show Wei Dong the form; more than thirty different variety shows with different ideas have already been filled in!
Until at least 1987, there weren't many variety shows on Hong Kong television.

But it was already very popular in Japan, starting in the 1960s.

For example, the show "Super Transformation" that mainland audiences are familiar with is a long-running program that started in the late 1970s and has continued for decades.

This detail was added to her husband by Qin Yuye when she got home last night.

Hong Kong television professionals have watched many variety shows for a long time.

They were also vaguely learning from Japan.

But he hasn't officially taken office yet.

So she was very surprised that Wei Dong actually chose this point to make a TV series, and even dared to abandon the TV drama.

In fact, the definition of variety shows in Wei Dong's mind was not the TV game show that Qin Yuye mentioned at all.

He was specifically referring to the later reality shows with a bunch of celebrities putting on a pretentious performance.

Thirty or forty years later, the density of these kinds of variety shows is so high that he's almost sick of watching them.

Looking at these now, they are basically based on... He had seen game variety shows like "Happy Camp" and "Guess Guess Guess" filmed in studios.

He immediately pointed out the core issue: "Yes, this kind of show relies on the host's ability to entertain and make people laugh. You two are definitely capable, but using Stephen Chow here is like using a sledgehammer to crack a nut; the damage will far outweigh the benefits."

Everyone was surprised and quickly asked why.

Wei Dong knew perfectly well: "The biggest selling point of variety shows is that they show a side of the artists that you can't see on the big screen. It's like watching gossip. It's fine to make a cameo appearance occasionally, but if you're laughing and joking on variety shows every few days, it's hard to create a character when you go on to act in a movie. The audience will only see the familiar face from the variety shows. But Uncle Da can do that. You, the golden supporting actor, don't have this problem."

Stephen Chow finally relaxed a bit: "The box office is about two million now. Everyone is saying that it might do well tonight, and the results won't be too bad. So... I'm starting to prepare for my next movie?"

Uncle Da also mocked, "They call people every half hour to ask for data. Don't worry, the premiere only starts at midnight, and they've already made two million in less than ten hours."

He's already been very popular, so he's much more mature.

To make things easier for Wei Dong: "Chow Yun-fat's 'God of Gamblers' is a hit, so let's jump on the bandwagon right away. You and Uncle Da first make 'God of Gamblers II,' then you and Tony Leung make 'God of Gamblers III.' Tell Wang Xin to start filming immediately and make money right away!"

The people standing around almost dropped their jaws. Was it really that simple?
It's as if piles of banknotes are right in front of you, ready to be shoveled away at will.

But upon closer reflection, nothing seems impossible.

Wang Xin's greatest talent is following trends. The key is that the market can accept the cartoonish humor of Stephen Chow. He has already honed his style, so he should press on while the market is in the game!

They were all immediately invigorated.

The previously introverted Leung Yee-wai became more enthusiastic: "Should I try to perform like Stephen Chow? There wasn't such an exaggerated performance in God of Gamblers."

Let Wei Dong give you some pointers: "The 'God of Gamblers' is about a mainland guy who comes to Hong Kong to join Uncle Da. He actually has a special ability to see through cards... After this story, Tony Leung becomes the God of Gamblers' disciple and teams up with Sing. It just so happens that Chow Yun-fat isn't taking a break. He'll at most make a cameo appearance. When this movie is released in two or three months, we can ride the wave of popularity..."

Everyone was excitedly listening to it; it's a trilogy, and making money from it is definitely the right thing to do!
They couldn't help but clap and laugh.

Wei Dong doesn't even need to outline the plot details; he only needs to point out the general direction, and others are capable of completing it.

But now I am completely convinced by my boss's Midas touch in giving instructions.

Stephen Chow exaggeratedly clasped his hands and bowed deeply: "Boss, I didn't know if I could repay your kindness before, so I didn't even dare to say thank you. Thank you, I will definitely remember your ten-year promise!"

Cameras were still following them from a distance, capturing their laughter and conversation as if they were treasures, even though they couldn't hear what they were saying.

What's admirable is that when Leung Ka-fai saw that his two friends' movies were hits while his own flopped, he didn't rush to follow suit and make his own gambling film.

Steadily translate for Xingzai; this guy can only speak Cantonese.

This reminded Wei Dong: "We need to put some effort into the Mandarin dubbing for Xingzai. Find... that grouper to do the dubbing."

Everyone was a little confused. Who?

To ensure the enduring appeal of classic works in the mainland market, Wei Dong had no choice but to bite the bullet and say, "I don't even remember where I heard his voice before. His Mandarin accent is a perfect match for Stephen Chow. If it's not him, it's best not to go into the Mandarin market."

Fortunately, the name is easy to remember, and most of the voice actors are in the radio system. When Jiang Jialing came to find the boss to go to a meeting, she immediately remembered it: "You're from the Right Bank Chen Family Team, right? Radio voice acting and broadcasting... No problem."

Then we should press our advantage and pursue the fleeing enemy to the bitter end!
