Chapter 93 The Guide of Hong Kong Artists
TVB was trying to save the reputation of the four of them and postponed the broadcast of the originally recorded program. Tonight's program was changed to a live broadcast. Therefore, the backstage atmosphere of "Invincible Master" seemed to be more tense than usual.
Time was short, and the four brothers Chen Lin, Liu Dehua and several hosts were rehearsing nervously with scripts in hand.
At this time, Zeng Zhiwei finished checking the script. He looked up at Chen Lin and said with a smile: "Mr. Xiao Lin, don't be nervous about the live broadcast later. Several big brothers will take care of you. You don't have to worry about not being able to understand Cantonese. I will do this program for you."
Hosted in Mandarin.”
As soon as Zeng Zhiwei saw Chen Lin, he called him "Mr. Xiao Lin". Strangely enough, from then on, his name spread in the circle of friends, and everyone changed their names one after another, including Brother Hua, Brother Xian, and Brother Xiaohei.
There was no exception, and later "Mr. Xiaolin" almost became his nickname.
"I'm really worried about this. I feel relieved after hearing what you said, Brother Zhiwei." Chen Lin said gratefully. Although he worked in Guangzhou for many years in his previous life, he still couldn't understand Cantonese.
Before coming here, Brother Hua and others introduced Brother Zhiwei as a warm-hearted person and treated artists very well, and this was indeed the case after this contact.
In addition to his superb acting skills and being recognized as a capable actor, Eric Tsang is also famous in the industry for his generosity, broad-mindedness and warm-heartedness.
This little actor's status in Hong Kong is beyond imagination. There is an entertainment news in his previous life that is enough to illustrate that April 14, 2013 was his 60th birthday. TVB invited 700 people from the entertainment industry to celebrate his birthday at the Hong Kong Convention and Exhibition.
If this is nothing, then it is a coincidence that that day is also the award ceremony of the Hong Kong Film Awards. Due to concerns that the stars participating in the award ceremony will run on both sides and affect the quality of the party, the Film Awards specially made way for Eric Tsang.
, was scheduled to be held on April 13 one day in advance, and this news was confirmed by authoritative sources, which shocked the outside world to Zeng Zhiwei's status in the world.
Why does Eric Tsang have such a high status? At that time, curious reporters dug up his resume. His resume can be summarized in one sentence: "He is the guide for Hong Kong stars."
In Chen Lin's impression, there are several big names in Hong Kong's entertainment industry who are very enthusiastic. Chen Long is enthusiastic about charity, Andy Lau is concerned about the disabled group, and Zeng Zhiwei has always been dedicated to the healthy development of Hong Kong movies and his care for local artists.
Try your best.
He has raised funds for the development of Hong Kong films more than once and contacted stars to participate in the film. Before the handover of 1997, Hong Kong gangs were full of gangs in the film industry, money laundering, and hidden rules abounded. Many stars were persecuted. For this reason, Zeng Zhiwei organized stars
Artists held several street demonstrations to put pressure on the British Hong Kong government. Therefore, the British Hong Kong government introduced a bill to protect artists and dispatched special police to suppress the underworld.
The famous director Peter Chan once said publicly that in the Hong Kong entertainment industry, he would only call one person "Big Brother", and that person is Eric Tsang. He also lamented: "At least half of today's Hong Kong film industry are younger than him.
He has helped many directors. He is a person who never cares about what he will get. He is born to help others."
Although Chen Lin didn't see other stars or the legendary Sir Shao when he came to TVB this time, it was a worthwhile trip to get to know such a warm-hearted brother.
"Mr. Xiao Lin, the show is about to start. Let's drink some water to moisten your throat." At this time, Chen Xiaochun brought a bottle of mineral water and handed it to Chen Lin, interrupting his thoughts.
"Thank you!" Chen Lin nodded and smiled to express his gratitude. Chen Xiaochun played the "Pheasant" in Young and Dangerous. Chen Lin did not expect that he and Zeng Zhiwei had co-hosted "The Boss". He was very impressed with this "Pheasant"
"I also have a good impression.
Chen Lin took a sip of water and glanced secretly at the studio, "Holy shit, Brother Hua, the studio has been occupied by fans of your "China World"."
It turns out that the recording hall, which can accommodate 500 people, is already full at this time. The audience is all wearing yellow uniforms and no other colors can be seen. At a glance, it becomes a sea of yellow. These are all loyal fans of Andy Lau.
"Let me take a look." Brother Xian also leaned over to take a look, then looked back at Liu Tianwang and said helplessly: "Hey, Hua Zai, why do I always feel like a little guy every time I attend an event with you? Excuse me.
Please tell your fans to save some face for us, okay?"
Ke Shiliang on the side also felt the same and nodded in agreement with Brother Xian's words, "Haha... This is Hong Kong, but it is my territory, so you have to feel aggrieved." Liu Tianwang laughed happily.
Chen Lin looked at Brother Xian's depressed look and smiled. Speaking of which, Brother Xian's popularity is actually not low, but the fighting power of Hua Tsai's fans is too strong.
"Hua Tsai World" can be said to be a well-known fan organization. It has made other celebrities envious and jealous more than once. It is because of such a strong fan organization that Liu Tianwang has been working diligently for decades, and there is not a single day.
I'm afraid I won't be able to support my fans if I slack off.
Time passed quickly while chatting and laughing, and the live broadcast of "Invincible Master" officially started at 8 o'clock on time.
There was thunderous applause in the studio, and the host Zeng Zhiwei appeared. Tonight Zhiwei, Chen Xiaochun and the other host were all dressed up.
"Let me tell you, all three of our hosts speak Mandarin tonight because we have a friend from the Mainland who doesn't understand Cantonese." Zeng Zhiwei greeted the audience in Mandarin at the beginning.
The audience at the scene all knew that Zeng Zhiwei was talking about Andy's good friend Chen Lin. Aiwu and Wu also liked Chen Lin and expressed their understanding of the host speaking Mandarin. As for the many Hong Kong viewers in front of the TV who did not understand Mandarin, the column team
Subtitles are also prepared.
"Now I invite Andy Lau, Wu..." The three hosts loudly announced the appearance of the four-member group, but their voices were buried in the audience's applause just after they said Andy's name.
"Boss...Boss..." uniform shouts rang out over and over again in the hall. When Liu Dehua, Wu Zongxian, Ke Xueliang, and Chen Lin all appeared handsomely in uniform white suits, the applause reached its climax.
peak.
All the fans in the audience were red-faced and excited. Chen Lin saw several girls in the front row blushing and sobbing, which made him a little worried whether they would faint. Fortunately, Brother Hua was very experienced and immediately made a move to calm everyone down.
action.
The fans were very organized and disciplined and immediately became quiet when they saw the boss's instructions. At this moment, even Chen Lin, who is not a celebrity, felt a little envious. Having such lovely fans really made him regret nothing in his life.
Suddenly, Chen Lin smiled. It turned out that he saw two girls on the left side holding posters of him. He didn't know where they got them from. He was still very handsome on the posters.
Chen Lin winked at Brother Xian, and he couldn't hide his proud look. However, Chen Lin didn't feel proud for long. As the program entered the guest interview session, Brother Xian, the king of variety shows, quickly regained his face. His funny wit attracted
Rounds of applause from the audience.
Chen Lin can't speak as well as Brother Xian, but he is a master at playing games. Only Brother Xiao Hei can compete with him, and no one else is a match.
The highlight of the show was undoubtedly the four people singing "Stupid Kid" together. When they sang the song for the second time, all the fans in the audience stood up and sang with them.
At the end of the show, Andy couldn't stand the enthusiasm of the fans and sang a song "Forgetting Love", ending the live show with a beautiful song.
The program was very successful. After the broadcast, the local ratings in Hong Kong reached 30%, setting a new high in local ratings for "The Boss".
Eric Tsang was so happy that he was so popular in the ratings that he took the four of them to Saigon to eat seafood.
Everyone was chatting while eating delicious seafood. During this period, Zeng Zhiwei, Chen Lin and Xian Ge talked about their experiences in variety shows. He lamented that there were too few variety shows in Hong Kong and there was a big gap compared to Taiwan. TVB and
Both the two major TV stations, ATV, focus their core resources on TV series and do not invest much in variety shows.
Chen Lin agreed after hearing this. Insufficient investment not only restricts TV variety shows in Hong Kong, but also in Taiwan. However, it is not obvious that variety shows in Taiwan are at their peak now. In the previous life, in 2008
In the future, insufficient funds almost became a fatal flaw.
In the past, the variety shows of major TV stations in Taiwan and Taiwan were becoming more and more "cost-driven". The production cost of one episode was hundreds of thousands, and sometimes even a small celebrity could not afford it. At the same time, the mainland "China's Strongest Voice" broke out
The remuneration for being a mentor alone is in the tens of millions.
Even famous programs like "The Coming of Kangxi" tried their best to save money. For example, they recorded 5 episodes in one day, and the host Kang Yong wore that same outfit that day. So in his previous life, Chen Lin was surprised how he often saw
How many shows did Cai Kangyong wear the same clothes?
The current situation of Taiwanese variety shows in previous lives was worrying. Zhang Fei, the 2011 variety show leader, publicly called on everyone to change this situation and be willing to spend money to produce high-quality programs, otherwise Taiwanese variety shows will soon be replaced by mainland China.
"Hey, Taiwan's major TV stations are eager to have hundreds of variety shows every week. How much money can be allocated to each program? Is it surprising that the quality is good? And each host has to appear in five or six programs, how can he focus on the show?
A masterpiece." Chen Lin's point of view speaks to Brother Xian's psychological side, and it seems that he has already seen the crisis.
"Brother Xian, aren't you and Xiao Lin always collaborating on a program? It shouldn't be difficult for the two of you to work together to create a high-quality program. In this way, you can set an example for your peers and lead everyone to follow the high-quality route." At this time, Brother Hua
interjected.
Chen Lin agreed with Brother Hua. He added about the impact of "Happy Camp" on the mainland. Now many TV stations in the mainland have seen the popularity of "Happy Camp" and sent people to learn from it. I believe it won't be long before TV stations from all over the country learn from the experience.
New programs will be launched one after another.
Zeng Zhiwei was very interested in the new program that Chen Lin and Brother Xian collaborated on, and asked them about it, so Chen Lin introduced him to the creativity and content of "Two Days and One Night". At the same time, he also said that the host group also
There are 3 people who are not sure.
It was also the first time for Liu Tianwang to hear Chen Lin introduce "Two Days and One Night" in detail. He and Zeng Zhiwei both praised the program after listening to it, and heard that the host of the program was not sure that the two of them seemed to have a tacit understanding almost at the same time.
Recommended a candidate to Chen Lin.
