Film and Television: Bao Zong has finance in his left hand and entertainment in his right.

"Enough with the chit-chat. I've heard there are six other celebrities who, like me, know absolutely nothing and just naively came to participate in this show. Now, let's welcome them!"

Chapter 182 The Four Heavenly Kings on the Same Stage, Chow Yun-fat in Charge (Please Subscribe)

As Chow Yun-fat finished speaking, Wai Yau appeared in the frame.

Shorty Wai jogged over to Chow Yun-fat and greeted him with a smile.

"Brother Fa! I didn't expect you to be here too!"

With his short arms and legs and comical appearance, Wei is a natural comedian.

The taller Chow Yun-fat looked down at the shorter Tony Leung beside him and laughed, "Tony, you'd better stand a little further away from me, otherwise the cameraman won't know where to point the camera."

Although Chow Yun-fat's words were unpleasant, Shorty Wai still wisely moved a distance away from him: "Brother Chow, is it just the two of us?"

"No, I heard there were seven people! Look, isn't there another one here?"

Immediately afterwards, the Four Heavenly Kings took the stage one after another. At this point, Wei took on the role of the main speaker, exclaiming exaggeratedly, "Wow, the Four Heavenly Kings on the same stage, plus Chow Yun-fat as the host, this show is incredible! The audience is in for a treat!"

The Four Heavenly Kings looked at each other, and finally Andy Lau spoke up: "It's just the six of us men, this show isn't going to be some kind of military training or something, is it?"

Li Ming chimed in, "Judging from this lineup, it really is possible."

Zhang01 Xueyou added, "I think it's unlikely. If it were a military training program, they wouldn't choose such a lively place as Temple Street."

Aaron Kwok chimed in, "That's right. Military training will definitely be in the wild or by the sea. I bet it'll be a food show where we get to taste all sorts of delicious food."

Just then, Wei the Short exclaimed again, "Wow, what a beauty!"

With Wei's exclamation, Chow Yun-fat and the others were drawn to the sight of the long-legged Wang Zuxian walking gracefully towards them.

Wei, the short guy, stared intently at Wang Zuxian's long legs, almost drooling: "Her legs are so long and so white!"

Andy Lau and his friends didn't dare to undermine Dwarf Wai, but Chow Yun-fat certainly did.

Chow Yun-fat slapped the back of Wei's head and reminded him, "This is a TV show recording. You need to watch your image, or I'm afraid you won't be able to go home later!"

Seeing Wei rubbing the back of his head, the scene immediately erupted in laughter.

At this moment, Wang Zuxian also came in front of the camera and joined the six male celebrities: "Hello everyone, I am Wang Zuxian, please take good care of me!"

After the seven MCs gathered, and following an explanation from the show's director, everyone was informed that this was a game-based comedy variety show.

Immediately afterwards, three more invited guests appeared in front of the camera: Stephen Chow, Anita Mui, and Tony Leung.

Clearly, Xuezhi invested heavily in the first episode of "Keep Running!" to attract attention.

After the three invited guests introduced themselves, the ten people were divided into five groups, and the program officially began.

The first game involved everyone eating delicious food, and then the celebrities had to search for the dishes they had just eaten from a large plate. If they found the wrong dish, they had to finish eating it.

This was the first time such a game had appeared, and the celebrities were completely unprepared. No one would bother to remember what they ate; they could only guess based on their general impressions.

As expected, when this round of the game ended, all ten celebrities had round, bulging bellies.

The second game was a cooperative exercise on a pressure point mat. When ten celebrities walked barefoot on the pressure point mat in pain, it drew bursts of laughter from the onlookers.

The third game was a name tag ripping battle, after which all seven regular MCs acquired their own names.

Chow Yun-fat is known as the "gatekeeper" because with him blocking the way, it's very difficult for outsiders to tear off the name tags of the people behind him.

Shorty Wei was nicknamed "Roll Out" because he rolled away on the spot while trying to avoid someone, and his round body was just like an egg, hence the nickname.

Andy Lau is known as a 'hero' because he always helps the weak to fight against the actions of the strong.

Li Ming, known as 'Lightning Hand', always manages to tear off other people's name tags without them even realizing it.

Zhang Xueyou is known as a "good guy" because he always plays the role of a good person, advising everyone to value harmony and not to tear off each other's name tags.

Aaron Kwok is known as "Invisible Kick" because he runs so fast that even the cameras can't keep up with his feet.

Wang Zuxian, known as the "Seven Fierce Princesses," is the only female among the seven MCs, and everyone is giving way to her. However, in today's name tag ripping battle, she actually ripped off the name tags of three people: Liang Chaowei, Zhang Xueyou, and Mei Yanfang.

The show was so funny and the idea was so novel. Moreover, the pranks were all on celebrities who were usually very popular. It immediately won the hearts of Hong Kong audiences.

"Keep Running! Stars" is a hit in Hong Kong!

When the first episode of "Running Man" aired, ATV's viewership rating reached a staggering 64%, meaning that 64% of households in Hong Kong were watching the show. For the first time, ATV surpassed TVB by a significant margin.

Upon learning of ATV's ratings that night, Xuezhi was delighted that ATV had achieved such good results, and she, as the person in charge, couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief.

But Liu Xiaobao was now offering sharp criticism to Xuezhi.

"Xuezhi, this program still has many shortcomings and needs improvement!"

Xuezhi wasn't unhappy. Others might not know, but she did know that these new ATV programs were all created by Liu Xiaobao.

Therefore, Xuezhi had no doubt about Liu Xiaobao's judgment. Upon hearing Liu Xiaobao's words, she immediately took out her notebook and pen and humbly asked for his advice.

"Boss Bao, what aspects need improvement? Tell me your suggestions, and I'll write them down and have them make the necessary changes later!"

Liu Xiaobao stopped beating around the bush and directly pointed out Xuezhi's shortcomings one by one.

"First, there aren't enough cameras following the guests. Starting from the next episode, each celebrity guest must be followed by a camera."

"Secondly, apart from Wei, the other celebrities still have a bit too much of an idol image to maintain. We need to let them relax more and create a more comedic and entertaining variety show vibe."

"Third, during post-production, add some funny subtitles to the celebrities. The content doesn't have to be the same as what the celebrities are thinking, but it must be funny."

"Fourth, try to interact with the audience during the game, which will make the audience feel more connected."

"Also, the security measures on site are not enough. Although I saw some security guards maintaining order on the perimeter, those guests are all celebrities. If anything happens, we will be scolded by their fans. So the security level needs to be raised further."

"That's all for now. If we improve these issues, the show's ratings will be higher and more stable."

As Liu Xiaobao recounted the events, Xuezhi wrote them down one by one.

"Okay, Mr. Bao, I understand. I'll call a meeting with the program's production team in a bit to relay the issues you raised."

Chapter 183: "Super Girl" and "Longing" will premiere soon (Please subscribe)

The eighth day of the first lunar month.

ATV's newly launched "Super Girl" then started airing again.

According to Liu Xiaobao's plan, the program was to target three regions—Hong Kong, Las Vegas, and Taiwan—within the next two weeks, attracting more than two thousand applicants from these three regions.

Today's episode features the auditions. The program has three judges: Vivian Chow, Leslie Cheung, and Anita Mui.

Only by receiving approval votes from both judges can a contestant advance to the next round.

Of course, it's impossible to broadcast the entire audition process in one episode, since there are over two thousand contestants, and each person could sing one song, which would take too long.

Therefore, the Super Girl program team divided the audition content into two episodes, and only selected some outstanding and interesting segments, including both good and bad contestants.

A good contestant singing a cappella demonstrates the quality of the program and shows that the contestants truly have musical talent.

Bad comedic moments can both attract viewers' laughter and show that the show is open to everyone. Although it may not win the judges' approval, it is truly open to anyone.

Although this round of auditions was a bit rough and monotonous for Liu Xiaobao, it was very appealing to Hong Kong audiences.

The emergence of "Super Girl" was like the first Miss Hong Kong pageant. It was very novel to Hong Kong audiences, and everyone wanted to see who would win the championship.

Therefore, as soon as "Super Girl" was broadcast, it attracted the attention of many Hong Kong viewers. On that day, ATV's ratings reached 58%, once again surpassing TVB.

After watching this episode, Liu Xiaobao offered several suggestions for improvement to Xuezhi.

First of all, the studio is not big enough, it can only accommodate a few dozen people. Liu Xiaobao asked Xuezhi to change to a larger studio for the official competition, so that at least three hundred people can be present to make the program seem popular.

Secondly, the program does not yet have a title sponsor. Liu Xiaobao asked Xuezhi to try to secure more title sponsors during the official competition. This would not only reduce the burden on ATV, but also generate revenue for ATV.

Then came the judges' results. Liu Xiaobao suggested that Xuezhi change the light-up button, with a red light representing "no" and a green light representing "pass". This would be more novel and eye-catching.

Finally, there was the three judges' comments. The three judges seemed too professional, only offering technical comments.

Therefore, Liu Xiaobao suggested that the judges, while giving professional advice, should also say some funny things and interact more with the contestants. This would not only increase viewership but also relieve the pressure on the contestants and allow them to perform better.

Xuezhi wrote down Liu Xiaobao's opinions again and promised to immediately communicate with the "Super Girl" program team to make changes.

The ninth day of the first lunar month.

ATV's third new program segment, "Back to Field," also premiered shortly after.

Although Hong Kong is not as vast as mainland China, it still has some relatively sparsely populated islands.

The first episode of "Back to Field" was filmed on Cheung Chau Island in Hong Kong.

Here, the production team bought an ordinary house and then converted it into the 'Mushroom House'.

The four regular MCs of "Back to Field" are Stephen Chow and his good partner Ng Man-tat, as well as Leung Chiu-wai and Cheung Man-yu.

The first episode filmed the four of them arriving on the island and settling into the Mushroom House.

When they first checked in, the four of them seemed a little flustered and unsure of what to do.

The situation only improved after the four of them assigned their respective tasks.

After discussion, the four of them divided up their daily tasks, in addition to completing the tasks assigned by the production team.

Stephen Chow was in charge of chopping wood and starting the fire, Ng Man-tat was in charge of cooking, Cheung Man-yuk was in charge of washing dishes, and Leung Chiu-wai was in charge of fetching water.

However, both Stephen Chow and Tony Leung are quite reserved in private, so apart from their somewhat comical panic, this episode didn't offer much to watch.

Fortunately, Stephen Chow is currently very popular, and the show "Back to Field" featuring him still attracted the attention of Hong Kong audiences as soon as it premiered, allowing ATV to achieve a 54% rating that night, once again surpassing TVB.
