Chapter 707: Xiangjiang TV has the highest ratings in history
Clearwater Bay Villa.
This is the residence of Shao Yifu and his second wife Fang Yihua.
The main reason is that the environment here is very good and it is very close to the TVB and Shaw Brothers Film and Television filming bases. After finishing working at TVB, the couple will return here.
As for this year's Spring Festival Gala, this is the second Spring Festival Gala held by Shao Yifu after taking over from Li Xiaozhao as the chairman of TVB.
Although Shao Yifu and his management, including the actors below, have worked very hard.
However, it can be learned from newspapers and periodicals that Asia TV's ratings are stable at 65%, and TVB's ratings are less than 35%, which can be said to be equivalent to half of Asia TV's ratings.
This also seriously affected Shao Yifu's self-confidence. As far as film and television are concerned, Shao Yifu really doesn't want to lose to others.
After the 1970s, Shaw Brothers Film and Television has lost to Golden Harvest, but he thinks it is because the film market in Hong Kong is no longer what it used to be.
When Shao Yifu took over Li Xiaozhao's position, he was also very diligent and wanted to continue to let TVB monopolize the TV market in Hong Kong.
The harder he tried, the worse the results he found.
Today is the first day of the new year.
Shao Yifu did not return to the TV station and stayed at the Clearwater Bay Villa to rest.
Regarding Asia Television's announcement last night that "Journey to the West", which cost 800 million Hong Kong dollars to shoot, was shot by domestic female directors and actors, he was a little nervous for no reason.
In terms of TV series, Shao Yat Fu is really not afraid of Asia Television and Huang Xizhao.
However, this time he was a little worried.
Until evening, he and Fang Yihua had just finished dinner.
Fang Yihua had already shouted: "Sir, come here quickly, the first episode of Asia Television's "Journey to the West" has started."
Shao Yifu got up in a hurry and went to the living room.
When "Journey to the West" was officially broadcast at 19:00 in the evening, Shao Yifu and Fang Yihua were shocked by the sound from the beginning.
This is actually "Journey to the West" filmed by Asia Television with a lot of money.
At this time, they do not look at this TV series from the perspective of the audience, but from the perspective of investors, or even the TV series filmers, etc.
Asia Television announced that it took two years to make this TV series. In addition, it also spent a heavy sum of 800 million, which is different from before.
The previous TV series in Xiangjiang looked a bit rough. Basically, a TV series can be filmed in one or two months at a very low cost.
Many TV series are shot in studios.
It’s not that there aren’t any outdoor shots, it’s just not many.
Now looking at this "Journey to the West", Shao Yifu found that it is very high-quality in all aspects, and the location shooting is also very good.
The first episode is only 45 minutes.
Shao Yifu discovered that not a minute or even a second of the plot is superfluous and can completely attract the audience.
Especially since "Journey to the West" itself is a super IP, it has been popular for a long time. In Hong Kong, except for some white people, basically no one in China knows about it.
Shao Yifu was surprised as he watched.
When did this Huang Xizhao become so powerful!
"Sir, "Journey to the West" is really wonderful." Even Fang Yihua is usually very picky. Especially when she was at TVB, she was very, very picky about her departments, so much so that many people behind her back said she was not What a good thing.
Now that she saw Journey to the West, which was invested and filmed by Asia Television, she was amazed.
"Every aspect is top-notch. It's hard to imagine that domestic TV shooting already has this level." Shao Yifu sighed.
At that time, he had already returned to his hometown.
His hometown still feels very backward and poor.
It was at that time that he began to donate money to the country.
Elementary schools, middle schools, universities, and even hospitals will allocate funds from his Shaw Foundation to support domestic development.
He really didn't expect that domestic television could produce such effects.
"Sir, that Huang Xizhao is really powerful."
"I think it may not be because of Huang Xizhao, but Sir Yang. I heard that Sir Yang asked Huang Xizhao to do that."
Sir Young?
When it came to Sir Yang, Fang Yihua did not dare to comment.
"Sir, if that's the case, what will TVB do?"
At this time, the first episode has just ended. Although it is not yet known what the ratings are, judging from the current situation, it is probably the highest ratings for a TV series in the history of Xiangjiang TV.
It can even directly crush TVB's ratings.
"We also want to film Journey to the West." Shao Yifu said immediately.
Of course he also wants to shoot, and he wants to shoot as soon as possible. He even has to learn from Asia Television, which also shoots in China.
As for funding, it is definitely not as good as Asia Television.
. . .
When Shao Yifu and his second wife marveled at Asia Television.
Yang Ming is in the study upstairs.
At this time, A-Zhu, Guan Jiahui felt excited after watching it. The first episode had just finished, and there was a fifteen-minute commercial time in the middle. Guan Jiahui ran up and looked at Yang Ming excitedly and said: "Young Master Yang, "Journey to the West" is so good. Now, aren’t you going to see it?”
Guan Jiahui was about to drag Yang Ming down to take a look.
During Yang Ming's summer vacation in his previous life, he had watched it over and over again many times.
It feels like I can't finish watching it every time.
After reading it today, it will feel fresh again tomorrow.
For Guan Jiahui now, although she is 20 years old, she is actually similar to those girls.
"Is it really that good-looking?" Yang Ming asked deliberately.
"It's very, very beautiful. Although it's a Mandarin version, I think it's even better than the Cantonese version."
When Huang Xizhao and Yang Jie were discussing, at first, Huang Xizhao felt that Xiangjiang was spoken in Cantonese and could be dubbed into Cantonese. Yang Jie insisted on Mandarin, thinking that if it was changed to Cantonese, it would no longer be the original flavor.
After Huang Xizhao asked his boss Sir Yang's suggestion, Yang Ming also suggested to keep the Mandarin version. As for turning it into Cantonese, it can also be dubbed in Cantonese in the future.
Now the first broadcast is in the original Mandarin which is the best.
In the end, Huang Xizhao could only keep the Mandarin version.
When Guan Jiahui heard that it was in Mandarin, she might not feel comfortable with it. When she watched it, she found that it was not the case. The Mandarin version was very effective.
Yang Ming was pulled down from upstairs by Guan Jiahui.
At this time, the opening song of the second episode had started to play, and it had to be said that Yang Ming found that it was exactly the same and authentic.
"Peter, come and take a look, it's very good." Li Yufang shouted.
Yang Ming sat down next to his parents.
At the beginning of the second episode "Guan Feng Bi Ma Wen", Yang Ming found that all of them were attracted by the TV series.
When the second episode finished playing, it was 20:45 in the evening.
At this time, the entire audience in Hong Kong seemed to be attracted.
Even tonight TVB is broadcasting their prime drama series. For example, Shao Yifu and his second wife are attracted by Asia Television's "Journey to the West". One can imagine what the ratings of TVB's prime drama drama will be tonight.
That night, the ratings of the two TV stations came out. Normally, the ratings of the two TV stations are not too far apart.
Tonight, the Hong Kong channel of Asia Television broadcast "Journey to the West". The first episode "The First Coming of the Monkey King" had a ratings of about 85%. At the end of the first episode, the ratings were already nearly 90%. At the end of the second episode, the ratings were Already more than 95%.
It can be said that this is the TV series with the highest ratings in the history of Xiangjiang TV. I am afraid it will be difficult for other TV series to surpass it.
