890 [New Era of TV] Next
As a "experienced person" in his previous life, Song Zhichao knew very clearly what the "new era of television" is.
In his super-developed Internet era, TV shooting seemed to have caught up with movie shooting. In many cases, for the sake of perfect special effects, the money invested in shooting a TV series is more than the money invested in shooting a movie.
It is also because of this that high-scoring TV series appeared in Song Zhichao's era, such as "House of Cards", "Arrow", "The Flash", and "The Walking Dead", as well as domestic popular dramas such as "Story of Yanxi Palace", "The Daytime Chase", and "The Untamed".
Although in that era, many celebrities still felt that filming TV was not as good as filming movies, the gap and boundaries between film actors and TV actors were not as huge as those of Hong Kong in this era.
However, Song Zhichao arranged for Liu Dehua and Zhou Xingchi to try out ATV's "I Have a Date with a Zombie", but unconsciously broke this boundary and subtly narrowed the gap between the two.
Of course, as Song Zhichao explained, Liu Dehua and Zhou Xingchi joined ATV for filming this time, and they were not the first male lead. They were just guest appearances, to be precise, only cameo appearances in one episode.
To put it bluntly, what Song Zhichao wants is their gimmicks that cause sensational effects to attract the attention of audiences across Hong Kong, and then increase the ratings of "I Have a Date with a Zombie".
The smell of wine is afraid of the deep alley.
What's more, ATV has suffered a crushing ratings in TVB for so many years, and TVB has made the first move to film "Zombie Taoist Master". If there is not enough gimmick to attract the audience's attention, no matter how good ATV's drama is, it will be useless.
As a veteran, Song Zhichao knew the way of "hype", and this time he had finished a big deal.
...
really--
During the next few days, all the paparazzi reporters in Hong Kong focused on ATV and ATV's play.
Of course, as superstars, Liu Dehua and Zhou Xingchi were in a miserable state, and were surrounded by media reporters since early.
That's not all, those media that are super 38 and gossip are digging deeper into the news - why they want to help ATV film, is it for loyalty, forced, or because of what are the characteristics of this drama?
Faced with the random suspicion of these media, Song Zhichao had to hold a press conference for Liu Dehua and Zhou Xingchi, and answered questions from major media at the meeting.
...
Hong Kong ATV TV Station, press conference site—
Wu Siyuan and others, a group of senior ATV executives sat upright behind the speech stage, while Liu Dehua and Zhou Xingchi stood side by side on the speech stage.
The audience was full of people. After all, these two were at the level of the king. Any one of them could cause a sensation if they stood up, let alone the two appeared together.
Outside the venue where the reporter asked questions, Andy Lau and Stephen Chow's fans held posters and flashing boards, and made support activities in a tsunami.
"Andy Lau, I love you!" A female fan was so excited that she was almost crying.
"Step Chow, you are my idol!" A male fan was hysterical and made a declaration.
"Andy Lau, I like you very much!"
"Stephen Chow, I will always bear you!"
There are constant sounds, landslides and tsunamis.
On and off the court, it was very lively.
It can be said that it has not been so lively since the ATV incident.
Although they belong to Hong Kong Taiwan, ATV has always been unrestrained. Except for occasionally relied on several dramas like "Silver Fox" and "The King of Drama", which caused certain topics among Hong Kong audiences, it has little presence compared to TVB.
So many ATV staff members or ATV artists are embarrassed to tell people that they are working at ATV. This is in sharp contrast to TVB staff and artists. If you meet a TVB staff member on the street, you will find that the other party will be very proud, or proudly tell you, I am doing something in TVB, I am very familiar with who is there, and whether to sign an autograph, and help you get one.
But the feng shui turns. In the past few days, the front-page headlines of many Hong Kong entertainment media have basically been about ATV, which makes many old ATV employees proud and feel that ATV is "live" again.
As an ATV person, everyone knows that ATV can be revived this time because of a person.
Wu Siyuan, Xiang brothers and Zou Wenhuai are very powerful, but they still cannot save ATV's decline. Until the mysterious man took a sharp move at the critical moment of life and death, he turned the world around.
That person is the famous mysterious tycoon Song Zhichao. Now even Liu Dehua and Zhou Xingchi are persuaded by him and come to ATV to help film.
Now, with the blessing of Song Zhichao, the super strong man, everyone is more confident about the future of ATV.
Of course, when someone is happy about this matter, someone will be unhappy.
The four of Song Zhichao were very upset and were sitting behind the speech stage at this moment when Wu Siyuan, Xiang brothers, and Zou Wenhuai were sitting upright.
So the four of them deliberately arranged for media reporters to come in, preparing to ask some tricky questions, apply eye drops to Song Zhichao, kill him, and at the same time to show off his own sense of existence - tell Song Zhichao that ATV is not a place for you to play alone.
...
At this moment, the interview scene-
A Hong Kong female reporter who was inserted into the four major leaders of Wu Siyuan stood up and held a microphone and asked Liu Dehua and Zhou Xingchi--
"William and Stephen Chow, is the reason why you two help ATV film because they are forced?"
"What, you say it again?" Andy Lau handsomely used his fingers to clean his ears, as if he didn't hear it clearly.
Zhou Xingchi next to him said to him: "I asked you if we were forced to film?
Liu Dehua smiled, shrugged, and answered the female reporter: "This question is very strange. It's not the 1980s anymore. At that time, I was indeed forced to make movies, but now the Hong Kong movies are unified, and we are very free to film, so there is absolutely no forced comment."
The female reporter didn't give up and continued to talk about this topic: "But some people say that the reason why you are willing to take on TV series is because of someone..."
Before the female reporter could tell who this person was, Liu Dehua took the lead and said: "To be precise, it's not someone, but a reason - the reason is that the script is so exciting. After watching it, A Xing and I couldn't help but talk about whether we can join this drama..."
Zhou Xingchi added, "The result is what we want, so we stand here to accept your questions."
The female reporter was speechless and felt that the two questions she raised were beaten with Tai Chi.
...
Wu Siyuan, Xiang brothers, and Zou Wenhuai, who were watching the battle next to him, were watching leisurely.
"Uh, the female reporter arranged is not very strong in combat!"
"I'm stupid, I'll find a better one next time!"
"Don't worry, there are still good shows below. She is not the one we installed!"
Wu Siyuan smiled mysteriously and continued, "So, don't worry if I do my business!"
While talking, I saw a male reporter not far away raising his hand to ask a question.
...
The male reporter stood up, looked at Liu Dehua and Zhou Xingchi, and then asked sharply: "So what roles do you mainly play in this drama?"
Liu Dehua and Zhou Xing looked at each other and smiled at each other, "Your question is very interesting, but we can't answer you for the time being."
"Why?" asked the male reporter.
"Because the roles of both of us are comparable, to be precise, we are just cameo appearances in this drama..."
"Come-star?" Many people at the scene were stunned.
The male reporter was secretly happy and glanced at his boss Wu Siyuan and others.
Wu Siyuan was also very happy. Finally, he grabbed Song Zhichao's braid - what to invite the king to condescend to film - just a guest appearance, which made it earth-shaking. What a fool?!
The four major leaders were happy and raised their teacup tacitly, come, cheers.
At this time, Liu Dehua continued: "Yes, A Xing and I were just a guest star in this drama. In addition, our senior staff, such as Mr. Wu Siyuan, Mr. Xiang Xiaqiang, Mr. Xiang Xiasheng, and Mr. Zou Wenhuai, will also guest star in this drama at that time..."
A puff!
The four leaders who were so content just now spit out an old tea and shouted in their hearts: Fall out! When did we say we wanted to make a guest appearance?
Chapter completed!
