889 [New Era of TV] Part 1

Hong Kong people are actually very nostalgic.

Especially in the 1980s, many popular classic movies emerged. Among them, zombie movies were the most eye-catching. Under the leadership of Lin Zhengying and others, a rare "zombie wave" appeared.

According to incomplete statistics, in the three years from 1985 to 1988, more than 1,000 films about zombie themes were filmed and produced in Hong Kong, which is rare in the global film industry.

Nowadays, Hong Kong movies are dominated by Jet Li's "Wang Feihong" and "Unbeat on the East". People are keen on flying Tsui Hark-style martial arts films. Zombie films have long declined. Occasionally, some small Taiwanese companies are filmed, mixed with S love to attract audiences.

In short, the "zombie tide" that originally swept across Hong Kong has long since receded, leaving only memories for people. However, the "Zombie Master" played by TVB now allows Hong Kong audiences to remember this memory again.

...

Early in the morning, in a vintage teahouse in Wan Chai, Hong Kong—

"Have you watched "Zombie Master" last night? Lin Zhengying is so sharp. Like the movie he starred, I like him very much!" said a man eating char siu bun.

Opposite him, a man eating shrimp dumplings said: "The biggest seller in this drama is Uncle Jiu, but in this drama, his name is Mao Xiaofang - to be honest, it's better to call Uncle Jiu!"

The man from Char Sweet Bao: "I heard that the ratings of this drama have exceeded 20, and it will soon be 25..."

"Yes! Poor ATV, I thought I could show off my strength after being acquired, but I didn't expect it to be a comeback. This time TVB is going to step on them again." The shrimp dumpling man said.

At this time, a man eating lotus paste bag next to him said, "That's not necessarily--I heard that ATV was taken out for billions to save the market this time, and ATV also made big moves and was preparing to film the movie--"

"Film? There are only a few people coming and going ATV, either Chen Tingwei, Jiang Hua, or Lu Songxian, how can you compare with TVB? TVB is a famous star Shaolin Temple!" said the man with char siu bun disdain.

"Yes, ATV is also looking for death when filming - now the drama "Zombie Taoist Master" is in full swing. No matter how ATV is doing, it is destined to fail!" The shrimp dumpling man also sneered.

Others around also laughed.

"Fall!"

"ATV failed!"

"Song Zhichao can't save ATV either!"

"Song Zhichao will tie up ATV and fail together this time!"

...

Newsstands, Mong Kok, Hong Kong—

"Boss, come with a newspaper!" A decadent man squeezed into flip flops and gnawed bread handed the boss a 50-cent, and then took out an entertainment newspaper.

This newspaper is the most famous "New World of Entertainment" in Hong Kong. Most of the content is about recent celebrity gossip in Hong Kong, as well as movies and TV updates.

On the front page of this newspaper, there are some exciting stills of "The Master of Zombie" starring Lin Zhengying.

"I'm picking. TVB is having a lot of fun this time. Even the old ghost Lin Zhengying has invited him to shoot TV!" The flip-flop man was gnawing on the bread while reading the newspaper.

The owner of the newsstand interrupted: "There is a downturn in the movie now, and it is also a trend for big stars to shoot TV series."

"The trend is so big! If it is really the trend, why not shoot TV series "Boy-week 10"?" Flip flops said contemptuously, "So the TV shooting is still too low. Only those stars who are not popular or outdated are willing to do it!" After saying that, Flip flops also used their breaded fingers to stumble on Lin Zhengying in the newspaper, "For example, he is like this-!"

When the newspaper booth heard this, the owner shook his head and said nothing. He took out the plum blossom driver from the toolbox and began to fiddle with his broken black and white TV. In his opinion, there is actually no difference between TV and movies, and they are all for entertainment audiences. The only difference is that one needs to pay for tickets, and the other needs to earn ratings.

At the end of the day, if the TV is more exciting than the movie, who will buy tickets to watch the movie?

Of course, if the "double-week 10%" can really put down your posture and shoot TV, the whole of Hong Kong will probably explode.

"So, TVB won this time! It's just a pity that ATV, who just escaped a disaster, is now being trampled by TVB." The flip-flop man opened his mouth wide and tried hard to stuff the last piece of bread into his mouth - bread crumbs spilled.

"Even if Song Zhichao is powerful, he will not be able to make the world come true unless his Stephen Chow and Andy Lau can make a TV series for him!" Flip flops muttered, his tone full of contempt and sneer.

In his opinion, letting Zhou Xingchi and Liu Dehua go to the sea to shoot TV series is simply a dream!

Who is Liu Dehua? The current "Four Heavenly Kings" are now. Before they became famous, they were the five TVB generals who filmed "Falcon" and "The Return of the Condor Heroes". Now they have to pay attention to schedules when filming. It is said that Liu Dehua's schedule has been scheduled this year, with thirty dramas a year. How can he still have time to shoot TV series at ATV? That's not funny!

Besides, Stephen Chow Zhou Xingchi has filmed even fewer TV series, but as the protagonist, every part is a fine product. "He comes from the World" and "The Great Heroes" are popular in Hong Kong with nonsense. Now the pay is at least 5 million. Who can afford such a big shot?

If two superstars like this put down their airs and shoot TV series together, this dream may not be realized in Hong Kong's 7 million people together - not to mention Song Zhichao alone.

The owner of the newspaper booth was holding a plum blossom driver and fiddling with the small TV series in his hand, without comment.

At this time, the TV was fiddled with, and after a burst of snowflakes, the news began to be broadcast-

Suddenly, the owner of the newspaper booth seemed to have seen something, pointed to the TV and said in shock: "What does it mean to be impossible? Watch it!"

When the flip-flop man heard this, he turned his head to look at the TV. Then, he opened his mouth wide and had not swallowed the half-chewed bread-he was also stunned.

...

Hong Kong ATV TV, News Channel—

Although ATV TV is not as good as TVB in terms of TV series ratings, it has many variety shows and news programs that are very sharp.

For example, the "Miss Asia" was discovered by Wan Qiwen, Yang Gongru and Gong Xuehua; and the "Asian Amateur Singer Selection Competition" by Zhan Guorong and Zhong Weiqiang; in January 1991, ATV was the first to create "Morning News", providing instant news to the audience in the early morning, and other TV stations followed suit.

At this moment, ATV's "Morning News" is broadcasting-

The female host had a serious expression and a serious report: "According to the latest news report of ATV, the famous Hong Kong movie stars Mr. Zhou Xingchi and Mr. Liu Dehua will soon join ATV's new drama "I Have a Date with a Zombie", so stay tuned!"

This news was just a short sentence, but it immediately seemed like an atomic bomb was thrown into the whole of Hong Kong, causing an uproar.

...

"Hi, my little one, have you heard that Andy Lau and Stephen Chow are going to ATV to film!" said an ordinary citizen after meeting.

"No way?"

"What does not mean? It's reported on ATV News, it's true!"

"Wow, that's a good show!"

"Yes, I love Andy Lau and Stephen Chow so much. I didn't expect to see the TV series they filmed this time!"

"I'm so looking forward to it!"

"Me too!"

...

"Star Chow and Andy Lau are going to ATV to film? It's impossible!" A pair of Hong Kong stars were discussing together.

"What's impossible? Don't forget that the boss behind them is Song Zhichao - what does Song Zhichao ask them to do? Do they dare to resist?"

"That Song Zhichao is too sharp! He has accomplished the wish of the whole Hong Kong people."

"Yes, the whole Hong Kong people are looking forward to seeing Stephen Chow and Andy Lau on TV, but they didn't expect their dreams to come true!"

"Then they're filming TV series. Do we little stars in the 18th tier should persist?"

"What do you think? If a TV station comes to us in the future, we can also put aside our posture and film - after all, making money to support our family first!"

"You're right, haha!"

...

Who would have thought that Liu Dehua and Zhou Xingchi would have such a great influence and influence from the film industry to join the Hong Kong TV industry.

The TV series that was originally looked down upon by many people have become a new goal and new direction for many in-class 18-tier stars to support their families.

In fact, the Hong Kong entertainment industry itself is so big, and the cake in the film market is only a little bit. With the biweekly 100% and the four kings, there is no more resources left to those 18th-tier stars who have not been able to squeeze into the frontline of the film industry and need to support their families.

They were very distressed and wanted to make money to support their families, but they couldn't let go of their stature. But now it's different. Andy Lau and Stephen Chow's "going into the sea" directly drove his enthusiasm.

In the future, the TV industry in Hong Kong will cause a collective explosion of celebrities - whoever says that acting in TV will definitely decline, and you can do whatever you want as long as you have acting skills!
