TVB's most popular variety show now is "Happy Tonight", which was first broadcast in 1967. Each episode is 2 hours long and is broadcast 5 or 6 days a week. It consists of singing, dancing, short plays, games and other small programs.
Shen Dianxia, ​​Wang Mingquan, etc. are all hosts.
It was broadcast until the early 1990s, and then "Prize Doorman" hosted by Eric Tsang and Jordan Chan took over.
TVB accounts for 80% of the ratings during prime time, and "Water Rush" grabbed more than 30% of the ratings, which is enough to attract the attention of Run Run Shaw. The competition between the two TV stations has always been full of intrigues. The most famous
An example is "Celestial Silkworm Transformation".
Fang Yihua consoled her: "ATV has occasionally released a few programs to challenge TVB over the years, but facts have proven that we are always the audience's favorite, so you don't have to worry."
"That being said, the trend is different now. Qiu Degen invested in the mainland early and made good friends with the left. Who knows what will happen in the future?"
"Then do you want to send someone to talk to Mr. Chen?"
"..."
Run Run Shaw pondered for a moment and slowly shook his head: "The situation is uncertain, don't be too troublesome, just deal with it as usual, adjust "Happy Tonight" so that it will be broadcast six days a week, and Saturday nights will be moved up to compete with ATV. Then.
Plan a new program..."
Fang Yihua has no position in TVB, so it's hard to say anything.
And Run Run Shaw has always been a master of not letting go of hawks when he sees rabbits. He has to wait until the results of the Sino-British negotiations come out, then the situation will be considered settled.
…………
On the TV, the program continues.
Liu Xuehua's character is smart, and the total price of the products she took was closest to 2,680 yuan.
The host asked: "Would you rather choose this cart of goods or this TV?"
"Oops~"
She looked at Zhong Chuhong angrily and said: "I already won one last time, and it was also a color one. I'm very distressed because I have too many TVs. I won't give it up this time. I'll choose the product!"
Zhong Chuhong watched helplessly as the TV was being moved away, her expression half genuine and half fake, which made the audience happy.
And looking at Liu Xuehua's shopping cart, red wine, fresh food, and all kinds of imported goods were dazzling, piled up like a mountain in the cart.
"Wow, that's great!"
Zhou Huimin is very envious and wants to own such a shopping cart.
Reached the third level.
Questions are given based on products in the supermarket. One person makes gestures and one person guesses the answer. 10 seconds will be awarded for each correct question.
After all, Liu Dehua and Zhong Chuhong are the protagonists, and they are still playing lovers. This level is about to turn over. The two have a perfect understanding and got eight questions right.
When the three levels are over, the first group has 70 seconds, the second group has 80 seconds, and the third group has 60 seconds.
Reached the fourth level: According to the accumulated time, go to the supermarket to pick up anything. There must be no more than three products of the same type. The one with the highest total price wins - if you find a product with the sticker of "The Love between Humans and Ghosts", the price will be doubled.
.
"Ahhh!"
"Hurry up!"
"Get the red wine! Get the red wine! I don't have a long memory!"
"Take that imported chocolate, wow, so stupid!"
Countless viewers in front of the TV were immersed in it again, shouting and screaming, wishing they could join the battle in person, while three groups of people pushed the carts and ran through the supermarket of ten thousand feet, ten thousand feet!
The space was not very big, so Qiu Shuzhen was arranged to hit Zhong Chuhong, causing them both to fall down, wasting time.
But Andy Lau was lucky and found several products with adhesive stickers on them.
In the end, the total price was calculated. With a box of imported chocolates that doubled in price, the first group narrowly won!
There are traces of the script throughout the whole process, but now the audience has little experience and only feels the ups and downs, surprises and excitement, which is more enjoyable than watching a drama - even in later generations, there are still a lot of people complaining that variety shows do not have a script.
"Congratulations to the team!"
Andy Lau and Zhong Chuhong waved their arms in celebration, and the host took the opportunity to announce: "From now on, all shoppers in this supermarket can participate in the lottery. The first prize is a color TV set provided by this program!"
After Balabala said it, the participation prize was naturally the pre-ordered tickets for "The Love of Ghosts".
This is not over yet. "Christmas Special Edition" will have three more episodes on the 11th, 18th, and 25th. The general public can actively sign up, and there is a limited scope: one episode only accepts registration from couples, one only accepts registration from students, and one
Only registration from couples or parents and children is accepted.
Because the target audience of "The Love of Ghosts" is students, lovers, and female viewers.
"Mom, I have a parent and a child!"
Zhou Huimin's eyes lit up when she saw the end: "Shall we sign up? We will win prizes."
"..."
The mother was a little moved, but thinking about her family environment, she said, "Forget it, I have to go to work every day. In addition to going to school, you also have to attend training classes. How can you have time?"
"Oh, what a great opportunity!"
"Stop talking, you have already spent more time watching TV today, go and review your homework!"
"oh!"
Zhou Huimin pouted and returned to her small, simple and small space, holding the book but couldn't read it.
She thought the levels in the show were very simple, but her mother disagreed. She didn't dare to disobey her, but she shouted: "Mom, we can still draw the lottery without signing up! You can go to that store to buy things."
This time my mother did not refuse and replied: "I know! Do your homework well!"
"Um!"
Zhou Huimin responded, somewhat satisfied, and thought about it again. The name "The Love between Humans and Ghosts" has been firmly imprinted in her mind.
"Let's go and watch it then. I wonder what kind of movie it is?"
…………
"The Love Between Ghosts" took advantage of the popularity of television and quickly covered the whole of Hong Kong. After the first episode, there were many movie elements in the subsequent episodes, especially the products with adhesive stickers, which became a fixed feature in the fourth episode.
Easter eggs.
Now everyone knows, oh! There is a movie released on Christmas Eve, which is very haunting.
In the past, print media gave priority to publicity, but this time it is the other way around. After television became more popular, print media followed suit. Right-wing newspapers always sneered: "It's a small trick, a crooked approach!"
"The quality of a movie should speak for itself. How can it be successful if it is all about exaggerated propaganda, eye-catching, and no style?"
"The Guizhou donkey has no skills!"
"Although I haven't watched this movie, based on my daily shopping experience, the harder you shout, the worse the product is!"
The left is full of praise.
"The media test screenings received an enthusiastic response, with the female reporter crying on the spot!"
"The review screening was so well received by critics that some people burst into tears!"
"The most touching and tear-jerking work of the year!"
They all mentioned the word "cry".
Some people like to watch comedies and don’t like to watch crying scenes, but when crying becomes a hype gimmick, like "Mom Love Me Again", crying while watching a movie becomes a kind of "kidnapping"... Of course there are many
People go and watch.
…
New Art City.
Mai Jia had a verbal spat with Chen Qi a while ago and thought he had won, but now he found out that the other party was betting on "The Love Between Ghosts and Humans".
"Can a tragic film win my Best Partner award?"
"Let's see how you do it this time!"
Mai Jia has some confidence, but not enough. It will be released tomorrow and I want to go to the cinema to see it in person.
Currently in New Art City, the process of "Best Partner 2" is not going smoothly, but at least it has been successfully completed and is scheduled to be released during the Spring Festival. Shi Tian has also tinkered with a movie called "Piecing the Wall", and John Woo is preparing to shoot a movie called "The Comedian"
》comedy film.
Wong Pak-Ming also has a film called "Yin Yang". This film was originally directed by Lam Ling-tung, but now it is directed by Gao Zhisen.
As a result, there will already be 4 films next year. If we look for some more scripts and shoot them, we can complete the target of 6-8 films and have an explanation for Princess Jin.
And this can prove that Xinyi City has not collapsed, and it can regain its strength after a while.
Chapter completed!
