Chapter 1533 Delicate Arrangements

"Brother Xin Zha" started airing in November 1980, and it is the fourth part aired in November this year.

Tony Leung Chiu-wai went to the United States after his summer vacation to film "Mission: Impossible", so "Brother Xin Zha", which started filming in August, was taken over by Andy Lau.

Liu Dehua was very popular at this time.

"The Deer and the Cauldron" starring him and Tony Leung Chiu-wai attracted a lot of popularity for him. In addition, last year's "The Master" starring with the super female star Weng Meiling also laid the foundation early, so he was asked to take over. "Brother Xin Zha 4" is absolutely justified.

Unfortunately, it is now the end of December, and "Brother Xin Zha 4" has almost finished airing. However, the highest ratings in the Xiangjiang area are only 83%, and the average ratings are only about 70%, which surprised Kylin TV.

Although "Xin Zha Senior Brother 4" is no longer written by Yin Jun, the series is basically written by people from the screenwriting department, but with the foundation of the previous three films, Liu Dehua is a popular fried chicken, so he should not be inferior in any way. It’s only right that it’s this big!

You know, the average ratings of the first three movies starring Tony Leung Chiu-wai were 85%!

As the last year-end blockbuster of the year, it failed to completely suppress TVB and ATV. Instead, it caused their market share to increase a bit. This is not a good sign.

But fortunately, across Asia, the average number of people watching "Brother Xin Zha 4" has reached more than 50 million. Compared with Tony Leung's more than 60 million, the difference is not too big, which shows Liu Dehua's appeal to other places. not bad.

But Kylin TV still held a special discussion about this.

One of the discussions was about whether Andy Lau was suitable to be Tony Leung's successor.

Of course Xiao Sheng strongly supports Liu Dehua.

Because after the Spring Festival in February, Andy Lau will go to the mainland with him to film "The Legend of the Condor Heroes".

Not only did Yin Jun give Xiao Sheng the script for this drama a year ago, but he also named Andy Lau and Chen Yulian to star.

Now that Chen Yulian has finally agreed to come out again, Andy Lau has become quite famous. Of course, Xiao Sheng hopes to keep his reputation as the number one candidate. This is the best for "The Legend of the Condor Heroes".

In terms of TV drama production, Xiao Sheng is definitely the number one gold medal producer.

Lin Lingdong has gradually turned to film shooting, Shi Shaoming has gradually turned to Yin Jun's royal production manager, Liu Tianci is focusing on the development of variety shows, Qi Qiyi is now in the spotlight but still cannot shake Xiao Sheng's status, and the rest of the producers Not to mention.

Therefore, Xiao Sheng's words still carry a lot of weight. He also allowed Liu Dehua to continue to receive the qualification for 1984. He has priority in advertising endorsements and various activities in Taiwan.

However, even such an ace TV series as "Senior Brother Xinzha" could no longer hold its own. Kylin TV once again raised its vigilance for the production of TV series in 1984 and prepared to actively challenge it. Once again, it completely defeated its two opponents and restarted the show. Confirm your undisputed dominance.

First of all, it is certain that "Miaoshou Renxin 2" will be produced next year.

The combination of Qi Qiyi and Liang Jiahui must appear on the TV screen.

Liang Jiahui, known as the master nurse killer, although he focused on filming movies last year, he has not given up on TV series. He can be said to be a model worker.

Then the filming of the second part of this year's very popular legal-themed "Royal Court No. 1" will also be put on the schedule.

Wu Weiguo is such a personable actor. He can perform brilliantly in both modern and ancient TV series. He is worthy of being the first brother of Kylin TV.

If he wasn't too low-key and had no desire to win, he would actually be worthy of the status of Kylin TV's No. 1 brother.

However, although Wu Weiguo is not competing for the top brother on the surface, his status in Kylin TV is still very transcendent. Apart from him, there are only a few people who have always signed sixth-tier contracts.

Well, that's right, now Kylin TV has an additional channel, specially set up for the most important actors and producers on the station, with a guaranteed salary of 5 million a year.

Wu Weiguo and Xiao Sheng are two of them.

The former Tony Leung was one of them, but after he left, he transferred to the contract of Qilin Films.

So despite Wu Weiguo's low profile, his annual salary plus dividends from Kylin TV is more than 8 million Hong Kong dollars!

After "The Legend of the Condor Heroes" and two series, Yin Jun's three movies for Kylin TV this year are also very powerful.

The first one is called "Empress Wu Zetian", which is the Baodao TV series introduced to the mainland in the 1990s.

Yin Jun watched it with gusto, and especially liked the heroine Pan Yingzi who played Wu Zetian.

But he never expected that in this TV series filmed in 1985, Pan Yingzi was already 36 years old, but she could play the 18-year-old Wu Meiniang in an innocent and lovely way, without any sense of violation.

Especially after comparing with Aunt Xiaoqing in the future, you will realize how tender Pan Yingzi is.

The term "frozen-faced witch" is perfect for Pan Yingzi.

Now Pan Yingzi has been poached to Kylin TV. Because she is very popular in Baodao, Kylin TV also spent a lot of money to buy out her contract with TVB and gave her the fifth level of actor-star treatment. Only then did he agree to come.

Wireless has become accustomed to poaching its stars and behind-the-scenes production staff. Although Shao Yifu has received some salary increases, he is still very stingy in general, so Wireless's liquidity is still very high.

However, because TVB's own actors and behind-the-scenes production staff have very high liquidated damages, the other two TV stations will have to pay more if they want to poach them, so this can also be regarded as an income for TVB. .

Apart from anything else, Wireless’s ability to train new people and discover talents is still very strong.

Except for Kylin TV, which can compete with them in the artist training class, ATV's artist training class has almost no talents.

Perhaps this is why Qiu Degen is eager to participate in the Miss Asia election.

Kylin TV has hired Pan Yingzi, so many TV dramas at the female queen level can be officially included in the agenda.

Everyone at Kylin TV knew that Yin Jun valued Pan Yingzi. After confirming that Pan Yingzi had signed the contract, Yin Jun not only produced "Empress Wu Zetian", but also came up with several creative and creative ideas. Conceive the idea and order the screenwriting team to start writing the script slowly.

These include Empress Dowager Xuan of the Qin Dynasty, Empress Lu of the Han Dynasty, Empress Dowager Xiao of the Liao Dynasty, Empress Liu of the Song Dynasty, Dayu'er of the Qing Dynasty, etc.

Looking at the series of notebooks that Yin Jun brought over, each of which was less than 10 pages, but requiring that each of them be expanded into at least a 50-episode TV series, the screenwriting department felt a little trembling.

Fortunately, Yin Jun did not set a time limit. He just asked them to craft it carefully and write it well.

As before, Yin Jun decided to film the drama "Empress Wu Zetian" on location in the mainland.

Places like Chang'an and Luocheng are definitely the focus of filming, and the extras there, including the soldiers, can also make use of abundant resources.

With previous cooperation experience, basically this time it is enough to bring only about 100 actors and behind-the-scenes production staff. The rest are supported by recruiting supporting actors from major film schools, plus talents hired by major film studios. .

However, Yin Jun still has some difficulties as a director.

Xiao Sheng went to direct "The Legend of the Condor Heroes". Chen Jialin, who also directed a mainland version of "Wu Zetian" in his previous life, is now preparing to shoot "The Ice City Under the Night" and it is difficult to be transferred.

There is also Huang Jianzhong who is good at making historical TV series. He is old and experienced enough, but the Zhang Yuqian Xingmen incident later made Yin Jun have a bad impression of him.

If such a person were put into the Kylin TV system and became a director of Xiangjiang Company, I don’t know how many actresses it would harm, so it’s better to stay away.

After many choices, Yin Jun could only ask Shi Shaoming to come out again and let him be in charge of this TV series.

But Yin Jun also selected a young mainland director named Wu Zhiniu as the executive director.

To say that Wu Zhinius is young, he is really young. He is only 32 years old this year and only made his first movie last year. However, he already has 11 years of experience in drama performances, so he can look at TV drama performances from an actor's perspective.

Wu Zhinius will become a master of historical dramas in the future. He has made many TV dramas with huge ratings and reputation, but the subject matter is a little heavier.

Yin Jun asked him to be the executive director with the intention of training him.

There are so many classic TV series in the Mainland that the directors from the Huajing branch of Qilin Culture alone are simply not enough.

If Wu Zhinu can join Qilin Culture, he will definitely add another general.

Then for the photography of this TV series, Yin Jun decided on Zhang Li, who was a classmate of Zhang Moumou, Gu Changwei, Tian Shensong and others. After being a photographer, he directed the first TV series "Toward the Republic" by himself. A super fierce guy who is awesome to the heavens.

Thinking about his "Da Ming X Dynasty 1566" again, it went one step further and became an eternal classic.

Such a director has the ability, depth, persistence, and deepest understanding to make a TV series that makes people watch ups and downs, toss and turn, and turn thousands of thoughts into a sigh...

Yin Jun couldn't let him go, so Gan Guoliang gave him to the network early. He was one of the crew members of Chen Jialin's "Desire".

"Empress Wu Zetian" is his first TV series as the director of photography, and the 28-year-old Zhang Li has enough ability to depict the magnificent and beautiful scenes of ancient times.

That is to say, Kong Shu can't be found yet. Historically, he would have to wait another five or six years before he would appear on the stage of the entertainment industry.

Otherwise, the two of them together would be a perfect match, and they would definitely be invincible in the field of TV dramas!
