Chapter 163: A New Page Turned

In the next two days, "Wulin Gaiden" and "The Legend of the Condor Heroes" were really a little anxious. Pen Fun Pavilion wWw. biquge。 info

The ratings of "The Legend of the Condor Heroes" are rising firmly, but the magnitude is not large, basically 0.5% or 1% of the ratings are increasing.

"Wulin Gaiden" has never fallen below the limit of 50%, but its ratings are still firmly declining by 0.5% and 1%.

Shao Yifu, who originally had great confidence in "The Legend of the Condor Heroes", saw this situation and sighed secretly.

If it can't soar to the sky a few days ago, it is unlikely that "The Legend of the Condor Heroes" will break the monopoly of "Wulin Gaiden" in one fell swoop.

After all, the packing group of "Wulin Gaiden" has always been very stable, and such a unique chapter back drama is also very popular among young people.

"The Legend of the Condor Heroes" has received a lot of praise, but in the past two or three months, "Wulin Gaiden" is still too strong, and this inertia makes people reluctant to give it up and throw themselves into the arms of "The Legend of the Condor Heroes".

What's more, there are now many newspapers and public opinion of Jiashi who have begun to find fault in all aspects of "The Legend of the Condor Heroes".

The first thing to be criticized is Zhou Runfa's ancient costume, many people think that he is not suitable for playing ancient costumes, Guo Jing's stupidity Zhou Runfa has not learned, his temperament has always been that kind of atmospheric and wise image, not suitable for pretending to be stupid.

And then there is Chen Yulian, although countless people like Chen Yulian's ancient costumes more and more, but critics said that Chen Yulian lacks a sense of wit, and the taste of wisdom is insufficient.

Finally, and very importantly, there is the stinginess of wireless.

Many scenes in "The Legend of the Condor Heroes" are still the same as before, completed in the set studio.

Jin Yong's "The Legend of the Condor Heroes" pays attention to a majestic atmosphere, whether it is the Inner Mongolia steppe of Temujin at the beginning, or the Jiangnan region of the Central Plains where Guo Jing arrived, or the prosperous national capital of Dajin, it is all fascinating to read it, and it is definitely not the kind of scene that can be replaced by randomly finding a street that can be used as an ancient capital.

Of course, this would have felt nothing before, but now that the audience has passed through the filming of "Chu Liuxiang" in the real places of eastern and western Guangdong in the mainland, they suddenly feel that the set is too weak and fake, and they are very uncomfortable.

These shortcomings have helped Shao Yifu see his current weaknesses clearly, and decided that the following TV series, in addition to being produced by the elites, must spend a little more money on filming, so as to further regain his share of the ratings.

For the drama "The Legend of the Condor Heroes", Shao Yifu was not disappointed at all.

Now with Yin Jun's three consecutive dramas, Shao Yifu already knows that TVB is not as powerful as he imagined.

But Shao Yifu is not afraid at all.

He not only has the best screenwriters, producers and other behind-the-scenes staff in Xiangjiang, but also the best stars in Xiangjiang, as well as countless stars in the artist training class, and many stars of Shaw Brothers films, these resources can be shared with each other, and they are still much stronger than Li's and Jiashi.

"The Legend of the Condor Heroes" is just the beginning of regaining the throne, and TVB will definitely show the enthusiasm of its inception to let everyone see who is the king of Xiangjiang.

Therefore, Shao Yifu invited the crew members of "The Legend of the Condor Heroes" to have dinner at a nearby restaurant in an unprecedented high-profile manner, and at the same time distributed red envelopes, which triggered the siege and reporting of reporters.

Especially when Zhou Yanfa and Chen Yulian, who were slightly drunk, walked out of the restaurant holding hands, the atmosphere reached a high x, and countless flashing lights surrounded them, almost blinding the eyes of the two.

And this scene, of course, became the headline of all entertainment news the next day.

Inspired by this scandal, a few days later, the ratings of "The Legend of the Condor Heroes" rose again, pulling the ratings to 45% in one go, and "Wulin Gaiden" was also lowered to 51%, and it was about to fall below 50%.

A reporter is asking Liang Shuyi, general manager of Jiashi, for his opinion.

"Our Ah Jun said that "The Legend of the Condor Heroes" is a novel that he likes very much, and if "The Legend of the Condor Heroes" can surpass "Wulin Gaiden" in the ratings, he will be happy, because this means that Xiangjiang's TV industry is full of flowers! Invincible life is always very lonely, right?"

Liang Shuyi conveyed Yin Jun's words like this, which made people laugh when they saw it, especially the last sentence, that kind of proud demeanor had jumped on the paper.

The crew of "The Legend of the Condor Heroes" held their breath and wanted to hit Yin Jun's arrogant attitude, but what they didn't expect was that at this time, whether it was Zhou Yanfa or Chen Yulian, their state fell into a decline all of a sudden, and they couldn't concentrate at all during filming, but they looked preoccupied.

"The Legend of the Condor Heroes" also has a few episodes of the drama, Wang Tianlin saw that the situation was not good, and hurriedly asked the two of them what was going on, but he didn't say anything, which made him anxious.

Before these episodes of Zhou Runfa and Chen Yulian's state plummeted were broadcast, two days later, the ratings of "The Legend of the Condor Heroes" gradually fell by three percentage points, and directly returned to the previous level.

Such a change made Jiashi, who pretended to be generous, breathe a sigh of relief, and also made Wireless sigh.

On this day, the news of ratings wars such as "The Legend of the Condor Heroes" and "Wulin Gaiden" was suddenly covered up by another explosive news.

"Movie kung fu superstar Cheng Long, announced a change of court! Golden Harvest and Shaw Brothers competed, and the final winner was the young and strong Golden Harvest!!"

There is no doubt that since the beginning of this year, Cheng Long, who has become famous quickly with the two movies "Serpentine Trickster" and "Drunken Fist", seems to be the most popular kung fu superstar in recent times.

He is not Li Xiaolong, he has embarked on a completely different path from Li Xiaolong, but this kind of witty kung fu film is very eye-catching, and the box office of "Drunken Fist" exceeded 6 million in three weeks, which is the best proof.

Especially in the outer areas, under the reminder of Yin Jun, Golden Harvest took the lead in signing a sharing and distribution contract with Siyuan Film Company, and in the second week of the release of "Drunken Fist", "Drunken Fist" was operated to Treasure Island, Southeast Asia, Japan and South Korea, and the heavy box office exceeded 17 million Hong Kong dollars in the first week, and 12 million Hong Kong dollars in the second week, so that the total global box office exceeded 35 million in three weeks, second only to "Seven Days of Wrong Feelings" and "Selling Deed", ranking third this year.

Considering that "Drunken Fist" still has a week to be released locally and about two weeks in other cities, it is entirely possible to surpass "Selling Deed" and have a total box office of more than 45 million.

Just such a release, Golden Harvest is expected to make 3 million, and Siyuan Film Company will also earn more than 3 million, which can be described as a great joy.

But Cheng Long couldn't be happy.

Because after he handed over the 200,000 dividends given by Wu Siyuan to Luo Wei, Luo Wei actually gave only 3,000 to Cheng Long, which made Cheng Long's face very ugly when he accepted the 3 big golden bulls.

After coming down, Chen Zhiqiang persuaded his boss and said that Cheng Long should be given 100,000 yuan, after all, Cheng Long is the biggest hero, and Cheng Long's contract will expire next year, in order to win over Cheng Long, he should also give more.

But Luo Wei was completely brainless, he actually said, "I signed a contract with him, and I gave him 3,000 yuan for a play, so I have to do things according to the contract." As for the new contract, I am the one who single-handedly excavated him, does he dare to be ungrateful and not sign a contract with me?"

When he met such a person, Chen Zhiqiang was directly speechless.

He really wanted to say, Cheng Long is so popular, you still don't cherish him, give him more benefits, how can you expect him to stay and help you?

Is he really stupid?

Since Jiahe has investigated all aspects of Cheng Long, he naturally knows that Chen Zhiqiang is the person Cheng Long respects the most, so he actually came to contact Chen Zhiqiang a long time ago.

They promised Chen Zhiqiang that as long as he persuaded Cheng Long to come to Golden Harvest, then he would give Chen Zhiqiang 1 million alone, and then the position of deputy manager of Golden Harvest's artist manager department would be handed over to Chen Zhiqiang, except for He Guanchang, who grasped the general direction, the specific affairs were taken care of by him, and Cheng Long's affairs were handed over to him to take care of.

Chen Zhiqiang is 37 years old this year, and he is no longer the prodigal person he was when he was young, his mind has been completely calmed down after so many years of polishing, and the overall situation in his personality has gradually become a type.

He originally thought that if Luo Wei could cherish Cheng Long, then he would follow him and build Cheng Long together, and put Cheng Long in the position of the number one superstar in Xiangjiang, it didn't matter if there were resources from Jiahe.

But he didn't expect Luo Wei to be arrogant to the point of no end, Chen Zhiqiang could only choose to give up here.

But Chen Zhiqiang didn't blush at the treatment that Golden Harvest gave him, because Cheng Long had already told him directly, not only Golden Harvest was looking for Cheng Long, but also the Shaw Brothers movie was the same.

On the second day when Luo Wei gave Cheng Long a dividend of 3,000 yuan, He Guanchang of Golden Harvest brought a check of 5 million yuan as a signing fee for Cheng Long.

In the future, they will open 3 movies for Cheng Long every year, with a minimum salary of 1 million for each movie, and then add 10% of the box office dividends of Xiangjiang, which can be written into the contract.

The conditions given by Shaw Brothers Films are not bad, the signing fee is also 5 million, Cheng Long will be the male number one after he passes, and big directors such as Zhang Ce and Chu Yuan will tailor movies for him, and the salary and dividends can be discussed, which is definitely one of the best in Xiangjiang.

In terms of fame and confidence, the current Shaw Brothers movies are still the first in Xiangjiang, especially in the distribution of foreign cities, it is much stronger than Golden Harvest.

Golden Harvest relies on the Lu family's Cathay cinema chain in Southeast Asia, but Shaw Brothers Films has its own cinema chain in Southeast Asia, which is a great advantage.

The same is true in Treasure Island and Japan and South Korea, Shaw Brothers films have decades of hard work and are already deep-rooted, and Golden Harvest is still a little worse.

A kung fu star of Cheng Long's level, the box office in Xiangjiang is seven or eight million at most, but with the sales in Southeast Asia, Treasure Island, Japan and South Korea, it can be increased by at least two or three times, and when Cheng Long is really built, it is not unusual to increase the box office tenfold.

However, Chen Zhiqiang did not look at the surface, but saw the development strategy and future prospects of the two film companies.

Chen Zhiqiang used to be born in Cathay Pacific Cinema, and he has a very deep understanding of movies, and he knows what Golden Harvest is like since it started business, and he also knows what Shaw Brothers is like.

Shaw Brothers is a tiger, but he is already dying, and he has no pioneering spirit at all.

Moreover, Shaw Brothers Films pursues a large-scale studio system, even if it spends a lot of money to invite Cheng Long over, it will definitely not be very generous in terms of corresponding screenwriting, budget spending, etc., so that no matter how powerful Cheng Long is, without the help of others and the support of film companies, he will definitely not be able to achieve greater achievements.

Golden Harvest is different.

First of all, their boss Zou Wenhuai, his tolerance is definitely rare in the world.

Li Xiaolong is a genius, an out-and-out genius, but his moodiness, violent impulsiveness, and arrogant temper also make everyone who has worked with him more or less dissatisfied, and the people who fall out with him are not one or two.

Only Zou Wenhuai can hold back his temper, meet all Li Xiaolong's requirements, and make the greatest support and concessions.

In this way, so many classic works of Li Xiaolong appeared, and Li Xiaolong's achievements as a kung fu superstar.

If I change to any other boss, I'm afraid I won't be able to do this.

Another point, Golden Harvest likes to give its stars a lot of freedom, needless to say that Li Xiaolong is far away, Xu Guanwen a few years ago, Hong Jinbao in the past two years, they all started their own dramas and made their own movies, Golden Harvest just provided all kinds of help, which gave the two sets of people full leeway, so that they could make movies according to their own will, thus achieving great success.

What Cheng Long needs now is exactly this kind of autonomy!

Cheng Long has already explored a path that suits him, and all that remains is to keep working hard along this path.

Let Cheng Long make the movie by himself, which is the best help for Cheng Long!

With such comparisons and considerations, Chen Zhiqiang finally suggested Cheng Long to choose Golden Harvest.

So, this is Cheng Long's transfer to Jiahe.

Luo Wei, who didn't know anything about it, was stunned when he saw the 2 million liquidated damages taken by Golden Harvest.

He didn't react for a long time, and Cheng Long left like this!?

Just ignored his own promotion and left?

How does this work?

I dug him out!!

However, Luo Wei could only be angry, but there was nothing he could do.

Cheng Long breached the contract, but he paid all the liquidated damages, so it has nothing to do with him in the future.

Luo Wei called Cheng Long and wanted to beg Cheng Long to come back to him and continue to help him for a few years, but he couldn't find Cheng Long, so there was naturally no use in begging.

On the contrary, the reporters who smelled the smell began to besiege Luo Wei in various places, wanting to ask him how it felt that his cash cow had been poached, which made Luo Wei more and more angry, and directly fought with the reporters, and finally was brought to the police and inspection bureau, and paid a large amount of medical expenses before coming out.

Luo Wei's photo from the police bureau was published in the magazine.

Yin Jun clearly saw that this middle-aged man had aged a lot all of a sudden, as if his spirit had disappeared.

But Yin Jun didn't have any sympathy for Luo Wei.

How can a person like Luo Wei, who has a vision but does not have the slightest ability to retain people, succeed in the society of Xiangjiang?

Li Xiaolong he didn't keep, Cheng Long of course he didn't keep either, and in the end, there was that kung fu star, he didn't keep it either.

Three superstars, as long as he can tie any of them, he can achieve fame, but he has lost the opportunity.

This is also due to everyone's personality, and I can't help it! )
