Press conference scene—
Wu Siyuan and others thought that Liu Dehua and Zhou Xingchi would suddenly do this to them.
They actually said that they also want to participate in the drama "I Have a Date with a Zombie" and make guest appearances in it.
What are their identities?
The big shots in the Hong Kong entertainment industry are all people with status and status. How can they condescend to perform in TV?
Of course, Xiang Huaqiang made another plan. After all, he has been an actor and starred in "Dragon Wu" in "God of Gambling". The other three people don't have this kind of "interest". They feel that the filming is too low-level and unstyled.
But now Liu Dehua and Zhou Xingchi lost the bomb, and hundreds of people at the scene were staring at them, waiting for them to express their opinions.
How to do it?
Let me tell you that Liu Dehua and Zhou Xingchi are talking nonsense, and the four of them have no such plan at all.
But in this case, Liu Dehua and Zhou Xingchi are in trouble, and they cannot escape from their relationship. They will be considered internal strife and will be detrimental to ATV's future.
Just as Wu Siyuan and the other four looked gloomy, Liu Dehua, who was standing on the stage, said again: "Of course, this news may be a bit surprising to all the reporters here. After all, Chairman Wu and the four of them are all bigwigs with status and status in the Hong Kong entertainment industry. However, they said that for the future and development of ATV, even if they really devote themselves to filming, they would do whatever they could! Do you think so, Chairman Wu, Director Xiang, and Director Zou?"
Liu Dehua looked at the four leaders with a smile.
Wu Siyuan and others: "..."
Rolling your eyes, this is a good song.
He had to respond, and hurriedly squeezed out his smile and said, "Yes, yes, we think so too. For ATV, we have to sacrifice ourselves for what we could do before, and now we have to sacrifice ourselves!"
The four people finished their words, and many media reporters who received the reply immediately applauded and expressed their support and praise for the four people.
Liu Dehua waited until the applause stopped, and then said loudly: "It was touched by their fearless dedication that we strengthened our confidence in making guest appearances in this drama!"
Zhou Xingchi added next to him: "As the saying goes, everyone is getting fireworks high! With our unity, I believe that ATV's future will be better!"
Slap sex!
There was warm applause again at the scene.
Applause was thunderous.
...
Once the press conference held by Liu Dehua and Zhou Xingchi, two kings, was released, a whirlwind immediately blew across Hong Kong.
The charm of the two kings is extraordinary, and the entire Hong Kong entertainment media is reporting on this matter crazily.
For a time, ATV's new drama "I Have a Date with a Zombie" directly dominated the Hong Kong TV "topic list" for weeks. Whether it is major radio stations or newspapers, they were discussing it, and even defeated the TVB "Zombie Master" which was originally very popular.
With the support of such strong public opinion, the drama became popular before it was broadcast. Forty or fifty companies have come to ATV to negotiate the "advertising business" of the drama. In just three days, they signed advertising contracts with an amount of up to 50 million.
In this regard, the four major leaders led by Wu Siyuan are truly joyful and sad.
What is happy is that ATV is completely on the right track, what is worried is that these contributions are all Song Zhichao, and the four of them will make guest appearances in a humble manner.
But no matter what, the overall situation has been decided now. ATV's "I Have a Date with a Zombie" has entered the stage of filming, starring "Yin Tianzhao" and ATV Miss "Wan Qiwen" from ATV training class.
Liu Dehua made a guest appearance in the play, playing the police boss of the male lead "Kuang Tianyou". In the play, he gave Kuang Tianyou a "super mission" to protect a superstar in Hong Kong.
Zhou Xingchi also made a guest appearance in the play, playing the protected superstar. His name is "Zhou Xingxing" in the play, and he can be said to be a true performer.
As for the big boss Wu Siyuan, Xiang Xiasheng, Xiang Xiaqiang and Zou Wenhuai also made guest appearances in the play - but the hard thing is that their guest roles are not very tall, and three of the four are villains.
...
A week later, the ATV production "I Have a Date with a Zombie" that was filmed and broadcasted while finally started its first round of broadcasting under the call of seven million Hong Kong citizens.
In order to deal with the premiere of ATV's blockbuster, Hong Kong TVB TV also tried its best to advertise its own TV station's "Zombie Taoist Master". Not only did it invite the male pig-legged Lin Zhengying to take his apprentice, wearing a Taoist robe and holding a peach wood sword, standing on the decorated float. Starting from the Radio Road Bus Terminal, it held a float parade with the slogan "Lin Zhengying killed demons and eliminated demons, and the ratings were higher."
At the same time, the prize-winning Q&A of "Zombie Taoist Master" was also launched in the variety show channel "Happy Tonight". The first prize was a Baodao Wild Wolf Motorcycle, the second prize was a Siemens washing machine, and the third prize was a famous brand bicycle.
In order to win the largest number of Chinese-friendly audiences in Hong Kong, TVB has launched the "Zombie Master" Chinese-friendly hotline". As long as you call in while watching a TV series and tell your feelings and opinions about the drama, you will receive free gifts such as laundry detergent, dishwashing detergent, and tissues.
It can be said that this time TVB has used unprecedented power to fight against ATV's new drama.
This also indirectly reflects the sharpness of Song Zhichao's move to hype the "star effect" - just letting Liu Dehua and Zhou Xingchi make guest appearances in the series, causing the entire TVB to be in a mess.
...
In the end, the premiere ratings of ATV's "I Have a Date with a Zombie" were released, with the highest ratings that night as high as 21 o'clock - which was equivalent to the premiere 20 o'clock.
In Hong Kong, the ratings points are very interesting. Basically, one point means that there are 65,000 people watching your show.
Therefore, ATV's blackjack is equivalent to about 1.36 million people watching the drama "I Have a Date with a Zombie".
At the same time, TVB has made the ratings of "Zombie Taoist Priest" as high as 25 points, which is four points higher than ATV, which is equivalent to 1.62 million people watching this drama, 260,000 more than ATV, and once again taking the lead.
After this result, TVB immediately cheered and breathed lightly, which saved the title of King of Ratings.
But ATV was also extremely happy.
You know, the points ATV lost to TVB in the past were at least seven or eight points, but now it is only four points, which in a sense has already broken the record.
However, many senior Hong Kong film critics can immediately see the level of the two.
TVB relied on various publicity activities to increase the ratings to 25 points, but ATV only relied on hype Liu Dehua and Zhou Xingchi to make guest appearances. It broke 20 points in its first premiere. In this way, the best and the worst are judged immediately.
In addition, judging from the story plots of the two dramas, TVB's "Zombie Taoist Master" inevitably has some clichés, which is almost the same as the plots of previous Hong Kong zombie movies. At least the audience can guess the following plot after watching the previous one, and there is no sense of expectation.
On the contrary, ATV's "I Have a Date with a Zombie" is very unique in terms of the title or content and character design of this drama, especially the element of zombies is placed in the Hong Kong metropolis to repackage and interpret, and the sense of substitution is very strong. In terms of the story plot, the story direction of this drama is also very strange, at least it is not routine or plotted, which makes the audience full of curiosity and look forward to the broadcast of the next episode.
In this way, the "zombie PK" of the two TV stations will slowly narrow the gap as the two dramas are broadcasted. In the end, ATV will catch up with TVB and even eventually "overtake" TVB.
It can be said that many Hong Kong film critics are fundamentally optimistic about the new ATV drama, believing that it is creative and gimmick, and most importantly, it has a strong attraction.
However, can ATV's "I Have a Date with Zombies" really surpass TVB?
