Chapter 482 Who Are the Miss Xiangjiang This Year?

After the beach scenes were completed, the filming of "Love to Protect Flowers" in Xiangjiang came to an end and they moved to Baodao.

However, Tang Huan did not travel with him, and he had to deal with some affairs, such as Media Asia TV's celebration.

Roughly speaking, Media Asia TV has been under the name of Tang Huan for more than three years. Now it has successfully transformed and found its own position, that is, news reports cover Hong Kong’s politics, society, people’s livelihood, and even international news. dynamic.

Although there is no concept of credibility investigation at this time, it can be seen from the fact that several famous foreign-related hotels in mainland China provide Media Asia TV programs to meet the needs of Xiangjiang businessmen. Media Asia TV is inseparable.

After all, Xiangjiang's official media is mainly Xiangjiang Radio Station, and when it comes to TV affairs such as public education, it also cooperates with Li's TV before.

Back then, when Li's TV fell into Tang Huan's hands, because of his strong background in mainland China, the attitude of the outside world was very suspicious, and even many TV station executives left.

But now, Media Asia TV has proved with practical actions that it is still a TV station serving Hong Kong, and compared with the past, its programs are more professional and its international vision is wider.

Unknowingly, the public has adapted to this transformation of Media Asia Television and recognized its authoritative status in the field of news.

Of course, this feature of running the station has virtually divided the audience. The viewers that Media Asia TV strives for are mainly elites, while the lower-level masses still prefer TVB, which focuses on entertainment program content production.

In fact, with the development of the times, changes in people's ideas, and the rising cost of program production caused by economic inflation, it is no longer possible for a TV station to please all audiences as it did a few years ago.

If TVB wants to make a profit, let it go for a while; a successful football club can become a city hero, and a successful TV station can have the right to speak. Tang Huan, who is not short of money, obviously prefers the latter.

What's more, even though the two TV stations have different main attack directions, TVB is not easy.

Gein, in addition to DreamWorks' relentless efforts in the production of TV entertainment programs, Media Asia TV has continued to invest in hardware construction, and videotapes have completely replaced film; the viewing range covers the entire Xiangjiang River, and even southern Guangdong Province can watch it... Such achievements also forced TVB to keep up.It is equivalent to a financial competition.

It can be said that Run Run Shaw and Fang Yihua, who have become more and more stingy in movies, have to change their ideas on television, at least at the current stage.

This is most evident in Jin Yong's martial arts drama "The Legend of the Condor Heroes" filmed this year.

Before the filming started, TVB launched a massive public solicitation campaign to win public attention.

Due to the small size of Xiangjiang and the large number of people, TVB finally chose to shoot on Lantau Island.For the sake of the snow scene, they even bought snow machines from Japan, which cost a lot of manpower and money.

Whether the producer is careful or not can also be seen in the details.For example, the soundtrack of "The Legend of the Condor Heroes", especially the theme song jointly sung by Rowan and Jenny Jing, was well received.

This kind of excellence in quality made "The Legend of the Condor Heroes: Iron-Blooded Heart" hit a new high in ratings after it was broadcast on February 2.

Compared with last year's TV series "Tian Long Ba Bu" which always gave people a bad feeling in terms of response, "Legend of the Condor Heroes" is undoubtedly popular.

In Tang Huan's view, as long as he is willing to invest in filming, the success of "The Legend of the Condor Heroes" is nothing unexpected.

You know, when Jiayi TV filmed the first TV series "Legend of the Condor Heroes" in 1976, the audience reached as many as 100 million, making Mi Xue, the lovable character played by Huang Rong, directly popular in Xiangjiang.

TVB publicly solicited female leads before filming started, perhaps to offset the influence of the first edition of "The Legend of the Condor Heroes" a few years ago. After all, Mi Xue is still the top actress in Xiangjiang's entertainment industry. If a female artist is chosen hastily, The consequences are unpredictable.

The sensational effect caused by "The Legend of the Condor Heroes" was the absolute success of TVB for the first time after Lai TV was changed to Media Asia TV, which intensified its ambition. "The Legend of the Female Emperor", when seeking to make way tacitly, was flatly rejected.

So after entering May, TVB confidently broadcast the second part of "The Legend of the Condor Heroes" "Ashes of Time", which collided head-on with "The Legend of the Condor Heroes", and presented a rare scene in the past two years. ratings war.

"The Legend of the Empress" is one of Liang Yusheng's masterpieces. The historical background of the story is the period of the empress Wu Zetian of the Tang Dynasty, in which the secrets of the palace and the storm of the martial arts alternate with each other, which is exciting.

To put it bluntly, there are business elements such as brain holes, palace fights, tears... and so on.

Don't forget that among Dreamworks TV screenwriters, there are masters like Wen Rui'an, who have always been outstanding in the adaptation of such ancient costume martial arts dramas.

In addition, DreamWorks has always been willing to invest money in high-quality dramas, so that the costumes, scenery, etc. are also quite in place.

The TV series "The Legend of the Empress", which did not appear in time and space, was so brilliant and beautiful that Liang Yusheng was full of praise.

The cast is naturally extravagant. Liu Songren plays the leading actor Li Yi, Mi Xue plays Wu Xuanshuang, Yu An'an plays Shangguan Wan'er, Zhang Delan plays Changsun Bi, and DreamWorks also recruited Pan Yingzi plays Wu Zetian.

When "The Legend of the Female Emperor" was publicized to the public, the gimmicks were the love-hate entanglement of men and three women under the complicated political background in the play, and Mi Xue's self-challenge in acting, because she played Wu Xuanshuang as a The ice beauty is quite different from her previous image.

Of course, when "The Legend of the Condor Heroes: Iron Blood and Loyal Heart" and "The Legend of the Female Emperor" were in the ring, Mi Xue, the successful predecessor "Qiao Huang Rong", also became a focus of attention.

The result of the fighting between the two sides-you come and go, each wins and loses, it also reflects the different development directions of the two TV stations. Biography of Qiying".

But this does not mean that the ratings of "The Legend of the Female Emperor" are not good. Don't forget how powerful the appeal of the elite is, especially the pens of talented women like Yi Shu, Lin Yanni, Hu Yinmeng, etc. are not ordinary. Various analyzes have been carried out on the involuntary tragedy of the characters in the political situation at that time.

Whether it is to use the past to satirize the present or to over-interpret it, the psychology of Hong Kong's elite during this period is very strange, which is reflected in their high admiration for this TV series.

In the end, TVB couldn't hold back anymore and sped up the broadcast speed of "The Legend of the Condor Heroes: Iron Blood and Loyal Heart". Every five to ten, but if the situation is also disrupted, it will be ugly on the face.

Regarding this, Hu Yinmeng, who is in Baodao, said on the phone unceremoniously, "TVB still can't change its stinginess, otherwise it wouldn't have filmed and broadcasted "The Legend of the Condor Heroes" separately. Just watch Well, it must become more and more crude as it goes on."

"TVB is like a one-on-two. When facing Media Asia TV and DreamWorks at the same time, of course we have to be careful." Tang Huan, who had no interest in this battle, laughed and asked: "When will you return to Xiangjiang to sit in charge? If you miss work again, I will be leaving in a few days."

"What is absenteeism?" Hu Yinmeng suddenly became coquettish, "I have to work on two movies at the same time - "Hitch the Wrong Car" and "A Day on the Beach", both of which are very important boutique productions that reflect the social outlook of Taiwan. "

"Then leave it all to Zhang Aijia. Xiangjiang will not be peaceful in the second half of the year. You have to watch the operation of DreamWorks carefully." Tang Huan urged.

……

On the day before Media Asia's celebration, "The Legend of the Empress", which was no longer a blocker, had the same audience rating as "The Legend of the Condor Heroes", exceeding [-]%.

At the end of the fight for the throne, Li Yi, who lost his beloved wife, Sun Bi, and re-intervened in secular disputes, was poisoned by Princess Taiping. Depend on each other, go far away.

Such a tragedy, coupled with the sad theme song sung by Zhang Delan, made the audience in front of the TV sigh.

Therefore, some people joked that the paper towel manufacturers should thank DreamWorks, because the recent costume martial arts dramas filmed by DreamWorks almost all have lonely heroes and tragic endings, and the audience had to prepare paper towels to wipe their tears.

Another well-informed person revealed that the magnificent historical background of the Tang Dynasty in "The Legend of the Empress" has aroused strong interest in the people of Xiangjiang. TVB has realized this and plans to use the Xuanwumen soldiers in the early Tang Dynasty as the theme for filming. A historical martial arts drama.

Perhaps, a new wave of TV series is about to become popular.

……

Coincidentally, Tang Huan met Li Jingwei from Jianlibao on Media Asia TV.

"You're not really here to advertise, are you?" Tang Huan asked funny.

"Professor Tang's marketing methods are very effective. I think that by doing publicity here in Hong Kong, you don't have to expect to make a difference in this market, but taking this qualification back to the mainland will definitely attract more consumers." Li Jingwei He quickly explained it carefully.

"Your brain is really bright." Tang Huan smiled noncommittally.

In fact, by sponsoring this year's CCTV Spring Festival Gala, Jianlibao has gained popularity across the country.

At present, the people in charge of CCTV all came from the revolutionary era, and they are very courageous. They want to enrich the cultural life of the people, but what to do with the lack of funds, so they hit it off with the national brand Jianlibao without hesitation.

Of course, there were endless voices of opposition, even reaching the highest level, but the chief said "If you want the horse to run, you can also make the horse not eat grass" and ended all the disputes.

Looking at Li Jingwei's efforts, he must have tasted the sweetness brought by the momentum. Tang Huan didn't say much, but he also felt that it was not a reminder that "too much is not enough" at this stage.

"Mr. Tang, I heard that Xiangjiang will hold the first Xiangjiang International Marathon. Isn't this the time for our sports drink Jianlibao to show its talents?" Li Jingwei looked at Tang Huan anxiously, asking for a recommendation was written on his face.

"I really don't know if people in Xiangjiang like the taste of Jianlibao. You might as well give it a try." Tang Huan nodded and raised his hand to ask his assistant to help Li Jingwei.

……

This year there is no fifth and tenth, so Media Asia TV's Taiwan celebration is only an internal event, relatively low-key, and no celebrities are specially invited to participate.

But what was surprising was that Fang Yihua came to visit right after Tang Huan finished his attendance.

"TVB is developing very strongly this year. The second part of "The Legend of the Condor Heroes" has just finished airing, and the Miss Xiangjiang contest is about to start again. The audience can't stop, and Miss Fang can be said to have taken the greatest credit." Tang Huan smiled and complimented. After a while.

"Tang Sheng won the prize. I came here this time just to invite Tang Sheng to attend the finals of this year's Miss Xiangjiang." Fang Yihua smiled slightly, "I invited Tang Sheng last year, but Tang Sheng was too busy at the time. This year, Tang Sheng was there in one breath. After staying in Xiangjiang for such a long time, I should have time to show my face."

"I want to attend the world premiere of the movie "007" in London on June 6, and the time should be able to be arranged." Tang Huan nodded, "By the way, who is there in this Miss Hong Kong? "

Tang Huan has a certain interest in Miss Xiangjiang because of her star-making ability, but it is limited to this. After all, there are more rich second generations of Xiangjiang flocking to her, so he can't afford to step into this muddy water.

Moreover, every Miss Hong Kong election is a time when the media use all possible means, from pretending to be staff members to sneak in and take photos, to simply arranging undercover agents to participate in the election to break the news throughout the event, making this event a highly anticipated event.

Of course, TVB, as the organizer, is also strictly guarding against death.

Therefore, low-level "stealing" may not be difficult for rich people, but it is not so easy for high-level "poaching".

After all, every candidate for Miss Xiangjiang must have a nominee. From this stage, people will belong to TVB's sphere of influence.

"Mr. Tang is so busy, it's normal if he doesn't know." Fang Yihua was clearly prepared, took out an album and handed it over.

There was no need for Tang Huan to hide his preferences, and he casually started to browse, looking for "acquaintances" according to his memory.

Fang Yihua carefully observed Tang Huan's expression, and saw that he flipped the page quickly, looking a little casually, but when he reached the penultimate page, his movements stopped.

Fang Yihua was secretly happy, but she was afraid that no one would be interested in you.

"No. 29 is the most popular candidate this year." Fang Yihua introduced diligently.

"I also feel that this girl is very famous." Tang Huan smiled playfully, closed the atlas, and returned it back, "Ms. Lao Fang will come to invite her in person, and I will definitely go there then."
