Chapter 146 Obstacles Cleared (Please Subscribe! Please Ask for a Monthly Pass!)

Just when "Chu Liuxiang" was so popular, Cheng Long's new film "Drunken Master" also began to be released quietly.

It is not very accurate to say that it was released quietly.

Movies and television are two different industries, and they also have different demand standards, so there will not be much overlap.

Of course, that's not to say there's no impact.

At least now that "Chu Liuxiang" is popular all over Asia, and there are dramas like "Wulin Biography" and "Bao Qingtian" playing together, many people like to stay at home and watch TV at night, so there is less demand for watching movies Some.

For example, "Ghosts Fighting Ghosts" encountered "Chu Liuxiang" in the second week of its release, and with the withdrawal of other theaters, the box office was only about 1.4 million, a drop of nearly half!

The box office in the third week was even worse, falling by more than half, to only 710,000.

In fact, the three-week box office has reached 4.82 million, and it has already ranked third in the box office this year. But Jiahe discussed it and decided to give "Ghosts Fighting Ghosts" 8 canvases in theaters, so that it can continue to be released for the fourth week, so that Break through the psychological barrier of 5 million.

The first week of Cheng Long's "Drunken Master" coincided with the fourth week of "Ghost Fighting Ghost".

Wu Siyuan's Siyuan Film Company can only be a small film company, and it does not even rank in the top ten in Xiangjiang.

It's just that he has a good relationship with Golden Harvest and has good connections with the owners of many movie theaters, so he won for Cheng Long 15 movie theaters for joint screenings, with more than 33,000 seats.

There is a rumor on the Internet in later generations that it is Liu Tianci—yes, that is Liu Tianci from Jiashi now, and later told Wu Siyuan that when you and Cheng Long were filming "Serpentine Hands", He Guanchang asked us to rent all of them. The purpose of Xiangjiang's martial arts studio is to make you unable to continue filming, so that he can snatch Cheng Long.

Such a spread is obviously untenable.

The first one is that Liu Tianci was the director of the screenwriting department at TVB, and he also holds the same position at Jiashi, belonging to the top management of the TV station.

Even if Jiashi went bankrupt, they didn't go to your house, but returned to TVB, and are still the director of his screenwriting department. You, the general manager of Golden Harvest, how could you order Liu Tianci?

The second one is that Cheng Long made a few films before "The Snake Shaped Hand", but he was basically not famous and worthless. Even he himself gave up. If Chen Zhiqiang hadn't given him After Australia came back, what people see today is a chef with a big nose, not the up-and-coming Cheng Long.

When did He Guanchang become so interested in Cheng Long, and for someone with only a little bit of fame, he actually spent tens of thousands to hundreds of thousands, renting a studio and not allowing them to film, and then forcing Cheng Long to come to Golden Harvest?

If He Guanchang really has such a good vision, Zhou Xingchi, Zhou Runfa, Li Lianjie... and other superstars, how can they escape from his palm?

So this is just a rumour.

He Guanchang was interested in Cheng Long just after "The Snake-shaped Hand", and He Guanchang was not in a hurry. He waited until he watched Cheng Long's "Drunken Master" and after he completely established his own style, Only spent 1 million to dig him.

Cheng Long will not be fully valued by Golden Harvest until he directs and acts in the box office champion "Laughing Boxing Strange Trick" in February next year, so that after the 2.7 million checks were returned, he took another one. The 4.7 million check grabbing thing.

Moreover, He Guanchang has always been generous in doing things, otherwise Cheng Long and so many celebrities would not be willing to do things for him——Cheng Long quit Golden Harvest just after Zou Wenhuai, He Guanchang and others faded out of Golden Harvest, before that , Cheng Long never said to leave.

Therefore, this time, Wu Siyuan won the movie theater for Cheng Long, and He Guanchang personally made the decision, and asked Cai Yongchang to give him 7 large movie theaters. The 7 movie theaters for "Ghost Fighting Ghosts" are all small and medium-sized.

Yin Jun went to see Cheng Long's "Drunken Master" with Guan Zhilin.

Although the attendance rate on the first day was not high, the first show of the movie theater they went to was only 60% of the attendance rate, but everyone who watched the movie laughed and applauded, and the atmosphere in the movie theater was full warm.

When Yin Jun and Guan Zhilin came out, the attendance rate of the second game was obviously higher.

Cheng Long's "Drunken Master", in fact, read it after 40 years, in addition to the scene is a bit awkward, in terms of plot design, fighting design, etc., it can still make people watch with gusto, which proves that it is good Movies never go out of style.

Although in the previous life, "Drunken Master" only further laid the foundation for Cheng Long, "The Master of Boxing" in November is also a continuation of his advantages, and next year's "Laughing Fist Strange Move" is the official way for Cheng Long to reach the peak. However, it is estimated that Yin Jun reminded that after the popularity of "Drunken Master", Golden Harvest will definitely start in advance.

This time, the check that Golden Harvest handed over will no longer be 1 million, and it will definitely not be less than 3 million!

In addition to Luo Wei who is definitely not willing to let Cheng Long leave, Shaw Brothers is definitely not willing to see Golden Harvest even more powerful, there will be some open and secret fighting.

Leaving aside this big drama that will continue to be disputed in the next year, Yin Jun is most concerned about Jiashi's application for 2-hour educational programs.

Since the beginning of September, Yin Jun and Liu Tianci have discussed the matter of this educational program, and Jiashi happened to be actively seeking changes, so Liang Shuyi pushed all her strength to do this matter.

To put it bluntly, Jiashi had connections in the past, and now that they have a lot of money in their hands, the attack on the Broadcasting Authority has become more and more fierce.

In addition, a group of shareholders in the newspaper industry are touting it in the newspapers, and the expectation of the tripartite confrontation of Xiangjiang TV Station is also something that Xiangjiang government departments need to consider.

Some time ago, Li's was relatively weak, and when Jiashi was about to go bankrupt, many government departments, including the Broadcasting Authority, were a little uneasy about the dominance of TVB.

If there is only one TV station in a region that can make a sound, it is not a good thing for the government or the people.

When Yin Jun rescued Jiashi with "Bao Qingtian" and "Wulin Biography", and then gave Li's "Chu Liuxiang" a super magical drama, Xiangjiang's TV industry suddenly seemed to be full of flowers, and it seemed very lively and energetic.

Under such circumstances, Governor MacLehose, who has always been very open-minded, talked to the head of the Information Department after hearing the feedback from many people, and then the Broadcasting Authority opened a hole to let Jia TV will make a few episodes of the upcoming program and show them to them. If it can be related to educational programs, then basically there will be no problem.

It has been almost a month since I started working hard to get approval now.

Jiashi spent countless efforts, and finally had a very good start.

Now it's up to Yin Jun.

Every variety show needs a core character, such as Hua Shao from "The Voice of Huaguo", Brother Fei from "If You Are the One", Mr. He from "Happy Camp" and so on.

Sometimes, you can't tell clearly whether the show made the host or the host made the show.

But one thing is certain, a good host and a good program must complement each other, and neither part will work if it is missing.

The "Millionaire" that Yin Jun wants to do, the most important thing is the host.

In addition to skilled communication skills, the host must also have a strong aura, be able to control the atmosphere of the scene, be able to drive the ups and downs of the show, and even be able to figure out the thoughts of the audience outside the venue.

Such a host is naturally hard to find in the whole world, and anyone who has one can become a famous actor.

Fortunately, Yin Jun already had a suitable candidate in mind.

Now Xiangjiang has such an excellent host.

Her name is Yu Zheng.

This guy started joining commercial radio stations after graduating from middle school, and was even sent by He Zuozhi to Jiashi a few years ago to assist Liang Shuyi in running Jiashi.

She is now mainly in charge of Jiashi's news channel, and in the news channel, Jiashi's fate is still the same as that of TV dramas. Under TVB and Li's, it only has about 10% of the ratings.

This is not the fault of Yu Zheng alone, but the news has always been accumulated over the years.

For example, TVB, although the news is very strong, but Lidi’s news channel is many years earlier than that of Wireless, and their background is more profound. In addition, Li Zhaoxiong, who is the "Three Heroes of Lide", has worked hard to build it. Now Wireless and Lidi It's nothing more than an opening, just a bit stronger than Li's.

Jiashi's news channel is not influential enough, but Yu Zheng's ability is strong enough.

Not only does she act decisively and simply, but she also strives for excellence in everything she does. She has outstanding wisdom and ability, very quick thinking, and outstanding interpersonal relationships. She can be called a hero among women.

The current Yu Zheng, although only 24 years old, has long been a well-known talented woman in the TV and radio industry. For the past two years, TVB has been chasing her, wanting her to be the second in command of the news department of TVB, and guaranteeing that she will be the second in command within three years. Nei asked her to be the top leader, but Yu Zheng didn't agree at all.

For her, the first job she debuted was in a commercial radio station. He Zuozhi treated her like a daughter, and Yu Zheng also regarded him as his uncle. She didn't live for money, how could she betray her for money? Loved ones go wireless?

Such a character, to be honest, is a bit of a waste to use for a show.

But Yin Jun really couldn't find a more suitable person than her.

Among the talented women in Xiangjiang, both Lin Yanni and Yishu can write but can't speak; Zhang Ailing is old, and she will definitely not come back from the United States to host a program.

Liang Fengyi is still studying in the United States, and she won't be back until next year. Bai Yunqin is the same as her, and she won't be graduating from San Francisco State University until next year.

Dina's age is suitable, but she has already gone to the mainland. Her ambition is not a TV broadcasting career. She is busy with China's aerospace industry. It seems that she has recently come to the United States to normalize Sino-US relations. And work hard.

And Zhang Xiaoxian, who was 67 years old, is only 11 years old this year, and she can't even write completely.

Another talented woman, Shi Lansheng, has not been tempered at this time, and she is also unusable.

Therefore, Yin Jun could only choose Yu Zheng to host "Millionaire".

However, on Yu Zheng's side, there were some communication problems.

Yin Jun invited Xiao Sheng to persuade Yu Zheng to help make a show, but even though Xiao Sheng was Yu Zheng's senior and a good friend, he still didn't persuade her.

It wasn't about money, nor was it about her feeling ashamed to condescend to host the show. Anyway, Yu Zheng just didn't want to, so he politely declined.

In the end, Yu Zheng just agreed to Xiao Sheng and talked to Yin Jun about this show.

When they met, Yin Jun saw that Yu Zheng was dressed in a suit and looked like a handsome man.

The young man knew that Yu Zheng liked women, so from the very beginning when he spoke, he didn't regard her as a woman.

"Miss Yu." Sitting down at the booth in the coffee shop, Yin Jun said straight to the point: "I heard that you have doubts about such a program?"

Yin Jun was very sincere, and Xiao Sheng directly gave Yu Zheng the most detailed planning, including the main flow of the first ten episodes of the program, so that Yu Zheng could have the deepest understanding of "Millionaire".

Yu Zheng was not polite, nodded and said: "It's not that I don't like "Millionaire". In fact, it is very interesting. The reward of 1 million is very attractive to any ordinary person. It's just for me Said, this show is not challenging at all. You can find a female host at random, and you can handle it with a few more episodes. Even if you find a vase with a beautiful body and a good figure, you may get more attention. And the ratings will be higher.”

"I don't think so." Yin Jun said, "Of course according to Ms. Yu's words, if "Millionaire" finds a beautiful hostess to show off her pretty face, figure and clothes more, she will surely It attracts a lot of people to watch. But my first goal is not for the ratings, but to make this show a world-class variety show. If you want to be famous in the world, it is impossible to rely solely on beautiful women Come to dance and show off, but really need to focus on the show itself. A knowledgeable and wise host is what I need."

""Millionaire" is famous all over the world?" Yu Zheng was surprised, and then she suddenly realized, "No wonder you made this show yourself! No wonder you want to keep the copyright of other places! You really have far-reaching plans!"

"Yes, Miss Yu is the only one who wants to achieve my goal." Yin Jun said sincerely, "I want everyone to know that a really good program does not depend on any gimmicks, but on the program itself. The charm of the program will make many people like it. Although "Millionaire" is a gimmick with a bonus of 1 million, it really wants to make the show well and make people like it, and then drive them to learn knowledge. Improving myself requires a very good host. Apart from Ms. Yu, I can’t find another person in Xiangjiang who can meet my requirements.”

Yu Zheng originally thought that Yin Jun would use money and fame to convince herself, and she was ready to refuse, but now that Yin Jun said such words, she was quite moved.

Yin Jun is not a person who likes to lie and deceive others, and does not hesitate to use the means for the purpose. Even if Yu Zheng did not know Yin Jun, he had heard it from many people.

Yu Zheng still appreciates Yin Jun's character and grateful heart. No matter how manly her personality is, she still has the soft heart that women should have.

This is why she decided to refuse, but still came to meet Yin Jun.

Therefore, she knew that Yin Jun would not lie to himself to do this program. In fact, the program was completely different from what he promised. What the boy said was what he wanted to do.

Yu Zheng didn't think it was arrogant for Yin Jun to have such confidence. A young man with the background of "Bao Qingtian", "Wulin Biography" and "Chu Liuxiang" three divine dramas had the capital for him to be arrogant.

Besides, anyone who has been in contact with Yin Jun, including Shao Yifu and Fang Yihua, does not think that Yin Jun is arrogant and arrogant, but thinks that he belongs to the ancient gentleman, gentle and elegant, self-modest, self-disciplined and self-love. Even if he is not a friend, it is impossible to hate him.

If he is serious about making a program and can make a name for himself in the world, then such a temptation really makes Yu Zheng find it hard to refuse.

She is not short of money, nor does she like money very much.

But capable people hope that they can be famous all over the world, can be widely known by the world, and let people marvel at their abilities and talents.

Yu Zheng is only 24 years old this year, so he can't avoid it.

She also hopes that she can be recognized by the world's news media and become a world-renowned figure.

Moreover, Yin Jun praised her incomparable talent both inside and out, which also made Yu Zheng feel very proud.

It is an honor for a genius recognized by the world to think that she is very powerful.

"Are you confident that this program will amaze European and American countries?" Yu Zheng asked while thinking about it.

"Of course!" Yin Jun said sternly, "As long as Miss Yu agrees to be the host, we will cooperate in this show. If there are no more than 20 countries to buy the copyright of "Millionaire", I will never do variety shows again .”

"Don't take your words so seriously, lest others think that I am persecuting you!" Yu Zheng smiled and said, "Since you are so sincere, then I will do this show first! Let me tell you first, if you watch If the rate is not good, don't blame me!"

Finally agreed!

Yin Jun breathed a sigh of relief, and his tone became more relaxed, "Sister Zheng, you can do it according to your own style, and believe in your own ability! We want foreigners to know that Xiangjiang people can also produce incomparably excellent programs!"

"good!"

Seeing Yin Jun's confident appearance, Yu Zheng also smiled slightly, looking forward to "Millionaire" in his heart.
