350 [Get serious]
TVB, Chairman's Office.
Shao Yifu frowned slightly and looked at the piles of money placed on the table, feeling a little unhappy.
"How many companies have returned the money?" he asked then.
"Seventeen newspapers and four magazines," Le Yiling said, "they did not return all the money, and they deducted their losses."
Shao Yifu's face became even more gloomy.
Yesterday, newspapers of all sizes published articles to discredit contestants of the original song contestants, which caused a considerable public opinion storm. I originally wanted to see Xia Tian fall into a quagmire of scandals and be chaotic by these scandals.
However, he didn't expect that he quickly cut the mess and used the simplest and most rude means to sweep away the troops. He knocked the mountain and shook the tiger, making all media dare not release poison.
"Good boy, he is so courageous and good means!" Shao Yifu admired Xia Tian's decisiveness in his heart.
"Jazz, we have not gained nothing. More than a dozen contestants have agreed to our bribe." Seeing that Shao Yifu's face was not very good, Le Yiling said to him with a smile. This is finally good news, right?
"Cancel it." Shao Yifu waved his hand.
"Ah?!Why, jazz?" Le Yiling was stunned and asked in surprise.
How difficult it is to convince those contestants. She took a lot of effort to pry off a few "wall bricks", but now she actually gave up just by saying that she would give up?! Then what is the meaning of her previous hard work?
"It's useless. Public opinion has not been created, and the original song competition is still popular. Even if there are losses from more than a dozen contestants, it will not hurt the overall situation. At worst, they can notify the players who were eliminated before to come back to substitute. As long as the competition is still popular among the people, they can make up for the staff at any time." Shao Yifu waved his hand and said. "It's meaningless for us to dig out those contestants now, and we'll lose a lot of money in vain, why bother?"
"Then we can also recruit them into our Huaxing." Le Yiling suggested, really not wanting her hard work to be wasted.
"Nonsense! Are you afraid that we are not exposed? If they all come to our Huaxing, wouldn't it let everyone know that we are doing the right thing with Xiatian?" said Shao Yifu. "Besides, our Huaxing Records are singers, not musicians. It's useless for those contestants to come. They look too ugly and cannot be celebrities, and the records will not be sold well."
"..." Hearing that he said, Le Yiling could only nod helplessly, "Jazz, what should we do next?"
"The conspiracy has been invalid, so we can only fight with dignity." Shao Yifu said, "Our goal is always ATV. It is not summer, and he will not help ATV often. Once Qiu Degen is away from summer, it will be easy to solve it. Variety shows, events, and dramas, we have these three magic weapons. At that time, we can not only recover lost territory, but also step closer, and make Qiu Degen unable to fight back."
"I underestimated him too much before and didn't deal with him too seriously, so that he could have the illusion of turning the tables. But in the future, I will no longer underestimate him. I will beat him to no longer have hope of turning the tables." Shao Yifu said calmly and domineeringly.
Previously, because of TVB's ratings, it has always been the top ranks, and for more than ten years, it has firmly pressed ATV under it. Although its resistance several times put some pressure on TVB, it was still suppressed by TVB in the end and could not turn over.
As a result, TVB is also somewhat complacent, thinking that ATV is a weakling and not worth mentioning at all. Since that is the case, no matter how you fight, you will win, why bother so hard, so serious, and meticulous. Therefore, TVB is not very serious about program production, series shooting, event planning, etc., and has handled the matter.
Just like the beauty pageant of the Hong Kong Miss in the past two years, regardless of the quality of the beauties and the arrangement of the event, there are some false stories. The beauties selected are not recognized by the audience, and they think they are not beautiful enough and too ugly.
As a result, as soon as ATV launched Sister A, those beautiful beauties immediately attracted the attention of the people of Hong Kong and their ratings rose sharply. If it weren't for the fact that Shou Yifu had decisively summoned artists from all over Taiwan to scramble for filming "The Yang Family Generals", ATV would have been overtaken by ATV.
But the lesson from Sister Ya last time was not enough, and she didn't wake up TVB's people and others. As soon as this original song competition started, the ratings immediately soared, and she slapped TVB hard, which finally made it wake up.
After hearing what Shao Yifu said, Le Yiling was also in a panic and nodded heavily.
...
The original song competition, after a small storm, progress became very smooth.
Auditions, rematch, group stage, promotion match, 20 to 17, 17 to 13, 13 to 8, 8 to 5...
As the contestants were eliminated one after another, the competition among the remaining elites became more and more intense.
The more intense the competition, the more exciting the program, and the higher the ratings.
Now it has reached 75% ratings, and the wireless has no power to fight back.
But Wireless seemed to be unwilling to care and did not take major moves to save the ratings, which surprised the public for a while.
"Sir Shao is funny? Don't fight back, are you waiting for ATV to completely turn over?"
"Is Sir Shao just admitting defeat like this? Isn't it possible?"
Qiu Degen knew that his old rival was not so easy to admit defeat. He had already received rumors. TVB was making big moves now and was preparing to start filming Jin Yong's famous work "Snow Mountain Flying Fox" and the classic drama "New Brother Sequel to Senior". After the original song competition ended, it will start playing and compete with ATV for ratings.
TV series adapted from Jin Yong's famous works have always been a guarantee of viewership. Previous "The Book and Sword of Love", "The Sword of the Sword", "The Sword of the World", "The Legend of the Condor Heroes", "The Legend of the Condor Heroes", "The Legend of the Condor Heroes", "The Return of the Condor Heroes", etc. have all achieved extremely high ratings and caused a great response.
This time, TVB started filming the Flying Fox of Snow Mountain. It is said that all the people in Taiwan were dispatched. Lu Liangwei, who became famous for "Shanghai Bund", played Hu Fei, starring Zheng Shaoqiu, Fu Kangan and Chen Jialuo, played Miao Renfeng, Wan Ziliang, played Hu Yidao, and played Madam Hu by sister Wang Mingquan... The lineup was quite powerful at first glance, and almost all the Taiwan power was filming this drama.
The previous "New Brother Brother Sequel" of "New Brother Brother" caused a sensation when it was broadcast last year, with a rating of 75%. The male star Liang Chaowei was even more popular in Xiangjiang, and there is a saying that "everyone knows Wei Xiaobao, and everyone loves Zhang Weijie" (He also played Wei Xiaobao in "The Deer and the Cauldron").
This time, the original cast will be launched, and at the same time, Liang Chaowei's rumored girlfriends Zeng Huarong, Ren Dafeng, Qi Meizhen and other stars have been added. The cast is stronger and the ratings are naturally more guaranteed.
In addition to the series, it is said that TVB also planned an event to "Gathering Stars to Glory Donghua", inviting well-known Hong Kong singers to participate in the performance and raise funds for Donghua Third Academy.
Inviting singers to perform in the name of charity, those singers dare not refuse because of their face. And seeing so many celebrity performances on TV for free, saving money from the concerts, fans are naturally willing to support them. In addition, charity fundraising, this rich man and that rich wife donated money to show off their wealth in disguise, which also attracted the attention of the people. Therefore, the ratings will definitely not be low.
It is said that TVB also plans to hold this year's rookie singing competition in advance, and it is said that it will also change the competition system and learn from the original song competition, so the ratings should not be underestimated.
The series, events, variety shows, and three mountains pressed towards Qiu Degen, making him almost unable to resist.
Qiu Degen knew that once the original song competition was completed, it would be the time for him to decide the outcome between him and his wireless, and he had no chance of winning. At that time, all the chips won by the original song competition would be returned to TVB, and he might even lose a lot.
"Made, I must not sit still and wait for death!" Qiu Degen said in his heart. He immediately gathered his subordinates to discuss countermeasures.
"What should I do? Tell me, what should you do?" he urged, slamming the table.
"Mr. Qiu, they have Kim Yong's martial arts dramas, and we also have Kim Yong's martial arts dramas. They have "Snow Mountain Flying Fox" and we have "The Sword of Yue Girl". They won't lose too badly." Producer Xu Xiaoming said.
"Okay." Qiu Degen nodded, "What else? What kind of powerful dramas do we have?"
"There is another film about the four famous arresters who have reappeared in the world." Xu Xiaoming reported.
"How much is the winning chance of this drama against "Xinzha Senior Brother Sequel"?" Qiu Degen asked.
When everyone heard this, they looked embarrassed.
"The Four Famous Captains Resurrected" is actually the sequel to the martial arts drama "The Four Famous Captains" last year. Last year's "The Four Famous Captains" had a highest rating of 40%. This time, the cast was not as strong as last time, so it would be good if the ratings were 30%.
"How can this work? You have to make a strong drama." Qiu Degen knew that he didn't have a big chance of winning when he saw it, and couldn't help but sigh.
"Mr. Qiu, don't be angry, we will continue to work hard." Xu Xiaoming said hurriedly.
Everyone nodded together.
"Then, what activities can we do besides the drama?" Qiu Degen asked again.
When everyone heard this, they shook their heads.
It’s not that ATV doesn’t want to do it, but that it doesn’t have the conditions to do it.
Relying on its long-standing advantage of being the number one in ratings, TVB forced record companies to sign unequal treaties, and its singers were not allowed to go to friendly platforms for publicity, which made ATV almost have decent music programs. This also led to the fact that even if they held events, they could not invite well-known singers to support them, so naturally there was no high ratings.
"What about variety shows? What are we new ideas?" Qiu Degen saw that they only knew how to shake their heads, and he didn't know about it after asking, and he was immediately angry.
Everyone still shook their heads. If they had an idea, they would have made a long time ago, so how could they wait until now?!
"Waste, all wastes!!" Seeing this, Qiu Degen couldn't help but slap the table and cursed.
I pay so much money every year and keep it all my money. At critical moments, no one can help me, which really disappoints him.
Chapter completed!
