Chapter 628 Lin Qingxia Joins Asia Television!
Keira came back to Hong Kong for a week and then flew back to London.
Keira had just returned to London.
The time came to December 14, 1980.
Sunday afternoon.
Huang Xizhao, general manager of Asia Television, is here.
On June 27, 1980, Li Xiaozhao, chairman of Xiangjiang TVB, died of a heart attack. After the Lee family handled his posthumous affairs, TVB general manager and Shaw Brothers Film and Television chairman Shao Yifu, with the support of TVB shareholders and Mrs. Li Xiaozhao, Strongly replacing Li Xiaozhao as chairman of TVB.
At that time, it was also a period of turmoil for TVB.
Some of TVB's management and actors have jumped to Asia Television.
After Shao Yifu came to power, TVB quickly stabilized.
TVB at this time was much worse than TVB at the same time in history. Now, among the TV stations in Hong Kong, Asia Television has become the leader and TVB has become the second.
Faced with Shao Yifu, a powerful opponent, Huang Xizhao was really not a match for him at first. After Shao Yifu came to power, he immediately launched many TV series with very good ratings.
The TV series on Asia Television are also very good.
Yang Ming and Huang Xizhao were chatting in the study upstairs.
"Boss, that Shao Yifu is indeed very powerful, but we always have the advantage now."
Regarding Shao Yifu, Huang Xizhao is not worried at all now.
"Boss, last year you requested to select "Journey to the West" filmed by domestic female director Yang Jie. Why do I feel like a bottomless pit? The original plan was to have a maximum of one million Hong Kong dollars, but now three million Hong Kong dollars have been spent. Only five or six episodes have been filmed. ”
For movies and TV series in Hong Kong, the shooting speed is very fast. Movies like those can be released in a few days at the fastest, or more than ten days at the slowest.
Director Yang Jieyang is now striving for perfection. It took several months just to select the actors. In addition, he also had to shoot outside and prepare various props, which cost a lot of money.
If it were filmed by a director from Asia Television, it would be one year at the most, and all of it would be filmed and released.
According to Yang Jie's current shooting speed, I'm afraid that after 20 episodes, it won't be possible to film in less than three or four years.
The most important thing is that too much money is used.
Now that five or six episodes have been filmed, a lot of money has been spent. If Asia Television hadn't been rich, this would probably have to be stopped.
"Huang Xizhao, this Yang Jie is still very good. I gave her this opportunity to shoot. What I want is the best effect. You don't have to worry about losing money when you shoot it. Not only can it be shown in Xiangjiang, but it can also be sold to domestic TV stations. Dongyang TV, Korea TV, and even Nanyang TV stations can make back their money by selling the broadcast rights a few times.”
Yang Ming remembers it very clearly.
This "Journey to the West" is really something you can't get tired of watching, and the ratings are extremely high. Especially in his previous life, it was a must-see every summer vacation, and the most important thing is that the ratings are extremely high.
This copyright has been sold many times and is still very profitable.
In Yang Ming's view, if this Journey to the West is filmed, it will establish Asia Television's position among Chinese television stations. In the future, it will be very good to film "Romance of the Three Kingdoms" and "Dream of Red Mansions".
As for why Yang Jie is so slow?
Historically, it has a lot to do with funding. At that time, Yangshi could not afford that much funding. Yang Jie could only raise more funds while maintaining filming. He also had to strive for excellence and search for suitable filming locations across the country. .
At this point, it is indeed difficult to do.
Now that Yang Ming and Asia Television have money, Yang Ming feels that even if it is 5 million Hong Kong dollars, or even more, it is profitable, Yang Ming is not worried at all.
Huang Xizhao felt relieved when his boss said that.
This is the first time I have collaborated with a domestic director and actor. If that happens, it may become a masterpiece of Asian TV.
"I can tell you that starting next year, martial arts movies will become popular in Hong Kong. You can film Once Upon a Time, Fearless, Chen Zhen, etc., whether it is a movie or a TV station, they are very popular. You can even film Shaolin Temple. In addition to In addition, there is "Bao Qingtian", which allows the screenwriter to adapt it based on Bao Zheng in the classic "Three Heroes and Five Righteousness" and combine it with folklore. "
In addition to martial arts films, Bao Qingtian's crime-solving films, and even Lin Zhengying's zombie Taoist feature films, these ratings are very good in Yang Ming's opinion.
Huang Xizhao hurriedly wrote it down.
The reason why he agreed with what his boss said was because of the mysterious list Yang Ming gave him.
Many characters on the mysterious list gradually appeared, including the above-mentioned Liu Dehua, Zhou Xingxing, etc. These people all started from the training classes of Asia Television and began to work in TV dramas or Asian film companies. However, Huang Xizhao discovered that these people People really have potential.
"Boss, apart from this, I heard that TVB has begun preparations for the 1981 Spring Festival Gala in advance."
Spring Festival party?
Last year, the Hong Kong Spring Festival Gala held by Asia Television became a hit in Hong Kong, Nanyang, Wanwan, and even the Chinese community.
This year Shao Yifu and TVB will definitely not miss such an opportunity, and TVB will also prepare its own TVB Xiangjiang Spring Festival Gala.
In Yang Ming's view, this is inevitable.
Historically, in China, in addition to the Spring Festival Gala held by SunTV, in fact, every satellite TV station in the country has its own Spring Festival Gala.
People in many places in the south don't like to watch the Spring Festival Gala of Yangshi TV, but the ratings in the north are very high.
Now, TVB is competing with Asia Television.
It seems normal to Yang Ming.
"Don't be afraid of TVB. It's normal for them to prepare the Spring Festival Gala. We just need to maintain our advantage."
Huang Xizhao wrote it down.
After Huang Xizhao and Yang Ming discussed the TV station's affairs and were about to leave, Yang Ming said, "Do you know Lin Qingxia?"
Lin Qingxia?
The actress from Taiwan.
Huang Xizhao certainly knew.
Lin Qingxia is very famous in Nanyang and is known as the most beautiful woman in Nanyang.
It's mainly because many of her Taiwanese movies are shown in Nanyang.
"Boss, I know her."
"Now, she is already in Hong Kong, and she is going to join Asia Television and Asia Film Company. However, as long as she doesn't act like a big shot, she can shoot whatever she wants."
Huang Xizhao was a little surprised.
Lin Qingxia has actually arrived in Hong Kong, how come he didn't hear any news about her.
Lin Qingxia has won many film awards over the years. She is very famous in the film and television circles of Taiwan and Southeast Asia, and is considered a first-line actress.
So why did the boss just say these inexplicable words to him?
When Huang Xizhao reacted, he seemed to understand something.
"Boss, I wrote it down."
"Tomorrow, she will report at the Asia Television Building. You can chat then."
