Broadcasting channel, tvb headquarters.

Sitting on the sofa in the office, Li Xiaohe pointed to the newspaper in his hand and said: "Zhang Jin, a young boy, is really capable. No wonder he dared to make such a betting agreement!"

Run Run Shaw sat on the office chair, looking at the report in his hand and on the table, and said with emotion: "I really saw the wrong person. He is worthy of being a golden figure in the film industry. He can shine even if he enters the television industry. Li Sheng, don't look at his current glory.

, in fact, in the final analysis, we still have the advantage, and the viewers he brings will eventually be our Infinite TV viewers."

"I also know this, but I'm a little unconvinced that hundreds of people in the whole company were defeated by him! As the director of the TV station who is in charge of program creation, are you not unwilling at all?" asked Li Xiaohe.

"Of course I'm not willing to give in. As soon as his TV series came out, the ratings of my "Love in Love" were cut in half, and I almost couldn't continue filming. But what can I do? I can only keep learning and hope to surpass my opponents one day.

I have asked my production department to study the TV series and programs he has launched, and we must learn from them."

Run Run Shaw looked at the report in his hand. The market share and the number of viewers had almost exploded. In just over a month, it was equal to the growth of the entire last year.

Li Xiaohe said: "But when it comes to his program, it is really good. All the servants in my family know about the millionaire guessing program. Today I took a car to the company, and several times at red lights, I heard ten pedestrians shouting

Five or six people are discussing this show."

"One million is nothing to us, but to most Xiangjiang citizens, it is indeed an astronomical amount of wealth, which is certainly attractive. I heard from the person in charge of the department below that the number of applicants for this program has exceeded

Fifty thousand people, each with a registration fee of 100, he earned 5 million from this alone!" said Run Run Shaw.

"So much for five million? I can't understand the world today. Everyone wants to get rich overnight. How can such a good thing happen? It's pie in the sky!" Li Xiaohe shook his head.

Run Run Shaw laughed and said: "There will be no pie in the sky, but five million will fall on the show. There are many smart people in Xiangjiang, and there are even more people who think they are smart. Zhang Jin just captured the psychology of these people."

"Not talking about these idiots, have you seen his TV series Dragons in the World?"

"I've seen it. It's said to be Chinatown in the United States. In fact, it was all shot at the Clearwater Bay studio. The gang of ghost guys were all locally recruited actors. Only a few cutscenes were shot on location in the United States. But most of them have never seen it.

Even if you have been abroad, the audience can't tell the truth from the lie." Run Run Shaw said, "But his stories are really exciting, with compact plot development, fierce conflicts between characters, and a narrative technique of first suppressing and then rising, which can easily mobilize the audience's emotions.

Emotion. The end of each episode focuses on exciting or suspenseful points, attracting the audience to continue watching."

Speaking of this, Run Run Shaw couldn't help but laugh and said, "Watching this drama feels like I was following Boss Cha's martial arts novels. However, what attracted me to Boss Cha's novels was the characters, while what attracted me to this drama was the plot."

Li Xiaohe nodded and said: "I feel the same as you. In this drama, I only remember the protagonist who can fight for justice, the funny fat man next to him, and all kinds of different women who throw themselves into his arms. Oh, Zhong You's song

The opening song "Yellow Race" has good lyrics, good music, and good singing. Even though I am old, I still get excited and excited when I listen to it."

"Who isn't? Me too!" Run Run Shaw laughed and said, "It's been a long time since I've seen such a wonderful movie. Do you regret rejecting him as a shareholder? This kind of talent is rare in a century. It would be a pity to let him go!"

Li Xiaohe shook his head and said: "I know you value talents. When Li Hanxiang left Shaw Brothers for Taiwan, you still left him a way out and allowed him to return to Shaw Brothers. But Zhang Jin is different from Li Hanxiang. This young man is more ambitious.

I'm afraid that if he joins the company, he will become a customer in the future and occupy the magpie's nest!"

"Why didn't I see how ambitious he was?"

"You have been working in the film industry, so of course you don't know." Li Xiaohe lit a cigar and leaned on the sofa to puff. "The family history and background of this young man are far from being as simple as he appears on the surface."

…

Relying on his later experience, Zhang Jin has successfully made a name for himself on TVB Jade Channel. The TV series and variety shows broadcast under the title of Yongsheng Film have become the most talked about things among Hong Kong audiences.

Within half a year of the broadcast of "Dragon" and "Who's a Millionaire", he successively launched current affairs interviews, citizens' help and entertainment, tonight's meal, and other professional or down-to-earth programs.

The first TV talent show "Miss Hong Kong Contest" was launched half a year later, which immediately aroused a huge response, and the level of social discussion was almost as high as when "Who is the Millionaire" was launched?

There are more than five to six hundred people participating in the Miss Hong Kong contest. Although it is not as much as the number of millionaire participants, its social influence is even better.

After all, people are shown wearing swimsuits during the competition. How can this part of the competition not make the audience itchy?

In addition to the reward of 100,000 Hong Kong dollars, the winner will also receive a princess crown made of sterling silver and equipped with pearls and gemstones. It is worth a lot and is the prize that almost every woman dreams of.

The Miss Hong Kong competition is still in progress, and the heat has not dissipated. Zhang Jin has made a new move, announcing that the new talent show "The Voice of Hong Kong" is officially accepting contestant registrations. This program focuses on selecting singers, although the discussion is not as high as that of Hong Kong

The lady is so hot, but not much less attractive.

Throughout 1969, under the bombardment of Zhang Jin's various TV programs, not only did TVB's other programs on the same channel suffer from poor ratings, but it also pushed the old rival Li Yingsheng to the edge of almost bankruptcy. The audience all ran to watch Jade Channel

Yes, it’s good-looking and can be used for free, even an idiot knows how to choose.

Driven by entertainment programs, Zhang Jin's other current affairs and people's livelihood programs have also received a lot of attention. The slogan of telling the truth and doing practical things once became a topic of conversation for Xiangjiang citizens after dinner.

The joint reporting between the TV program and the Xiangjiang Times also boosted the sales of the Xiangjiang Times, making it one of the largest-selling newspapers in Xiangjiang.

At the end of 1969, major newspapers in Hong Kong reviewed the major events in Hong Kong this year, and they all called this year the year of entertainment. The popularity of the Miss Hong Kong contest and The Voice of Hong Kong completely overwhelmed the discussion of all events in the second half of the year, even the intensifying controversy in the northern continent.

News of revolutionary activities could not even make a splash in front of this wave of entertainment.

Time enters the seventies.

On January 1, 1970, Yongsheng Films and TVB held a New Year's Day Gala, inviting movie stars, singers, the top ten contestants of Miss Hong Kong and the first, second and third runner-up of The Voice of Hong Kong to perform on the stage.

Although the performance was a bit monotonous, and there were no skits or magic in the whole song and dance, the audience in front of the TV still enjoyed it very much. The discussion about this party even exceeded that of Christmas Eve a few days ago, which was under British rule

Hong Kong is a rare sight.

The song "Yellow Race", which was originally only popular in the "Dragon" fandom, immediately became a household name after being promoted on the party stage!
