Chapter 707 The TV with the Highest Ratings in Hong Kong TV History

Chapter 707 The TV series with the highest ratings in the history of Hong Kong TV! Shocked Hong Kong!!

Clearwater Bay Villa.

This is the residence of Run Run Shaw and his second wife Fang Yihua.

The main reason is that the environment here is very good and it is very close to TVB and Shaw Brothers filming base. After finishing work at TVB, the couple will return here.

For this year's Spring Festival Gala, this is the second Spring Festival Gala held by Run Run Shaw after he succeeded Li Xiaohao as the chairman of TVB.

Although Run Run Shaw and his management, including the actors below, have worked very hard.

However, it can be learned from newspapers that the ratings of Asia Television are stable at 65%, and the ratings of TVB are less than 35%, which can be said to be equivalent to half of the ratings of Asia Television.

This also seriously hit Run Run Shaw's self-confidence. In terms of film and television, Run Run Shaw 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 not as good as before.

Shaw Yi Fu took over Li Xiao and his position. He was also very diligent and wanted TVB to continue to monopolize the TV market in Hong Kong.

The harder he worked, the worse the effect was.

Today is the first day of the new year.

Shaw Yi Fu did not return to the TV station, but stayed in the Clearwater Bay Villa to rest.

He was a little nervous about the "Journey to the West" that Asia Television announced last night, which cost 8 million Hong Kong dollars to shoot, and invited domestic female directors and actors to shoot.

In terms of TV series, Shaw Yi Fu is really not afraid of Asia Television and Huang Xizhao.

However, this time he was a little worried.

Until the evening, he and Fang Yihua had just finished dinner.

Fang Yihua had already shouted: "Sir, come quickly, the first episode of "Journey to the West" on Asia Television has started."

Shaw Yi Fu hurriedly got up and went to the living room.

When "Journey to the West" was officially broadcast at 19:00 in the evening, the first sound shocked Shaw Yi Fu and Fang Yihua.

This is actually the "Journey to the West" filmed by Asia Television with a lot of money.

At this time, they are not looking at this TV series from the perspective of the audience, but from the perspective of investors, or even from the perspective of TV series filmers, etc.

Asia Television announced that it took two years to make this TV series, and in addition, it spent a lot of money of 8 million, which is different from before.

Before, TV series in Hong Kong looked a bit rough. Basically, a TV series can be filmed in one or two months, and the cost is very low.

Many TV series are filmed in studios.

There are outdoor scenes, but not many.

Now from this "Journey to the West", Shaw Yifu found that it is very high-quality in all aspects, and the outdoor shooting is also very good.

The first episode is only 45 minutes.

Shaw Yifu found that there is no minute, or even one second of the plot that is redundant, which can completely attract the audience.

Especially when "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 Chinese people don't know it.

Shaw Yifu was surprised while watching.

When did this Huang Xizhao become so awesome!

"Sir, Journey to the West is really wonderful." Even though Fang Yihua is usually very picky, especially when she was at TVB, she was very picky about the departments under it, so much so that many people behind her said that she was not a good person.

Now seeing this Journey to the West invested and filmed by Asia Television, she was amazed.

"It is first-class in all aspects. It is hard to imagine that China has reached this level in TV filming." Shaw Yifu sighed.

Back then, he had returned to his hometown.

His hometown still gave him the feeling of being very backward and poor.

It was at that time that he began to donate to China.

From elementary schools, middle schools, universities, and even hospitals, he would allocate funds from his Shaw Foundation to support the development of China.

He really didn't expect that such an effect could be achieved in domestic TV now.

"Sir, that Huang Xizhao is really amazing."

"I think it may not be Huang Xizhao's relationship, but Sir Yang's. I heard that Sir Yang asked Huang Xizhao to do that."

Sir Yang?

When it comes to Sir Yang, Fang Yihua dare not comment.

"Sir, if that's the case, what should we do with TVB?"

At this time, the first episode had just ended. Although we don't know how the ratings are, from now on, I'm afraid the ratings are the highest in the history of Hong Kong TV.

It can even directly crush TVB's ratings.

"We also want to shoot Journey to the West." Shaw Yi-fu said immediately.

Of course he also wants to shoot it, and he wants to shoot it as soon as possible. He even wants to learn from Asia Television and shoot it in China.

As for funding, it is definitely not as good as Asia Television.

. . .

When Shaw Yi-fu and his second wife marveled at Asia Television.

Yang Ming was in the study upstairs.

At this time, Ah Zhu and Guan Jiahui were watching with blood boiling. The first episode had just ended, and there was a fifteen-minute advertisement 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, don't you want to watch it?"

Guan Jiahui was about to pull Yang Ming downstairs to watch it.

Yang Ming had watched it many times during the summer vacation in his previous life.

Every time he felt like he couldn't finish watching it.

After watching it today, it feels fresh again tomorrow.

For Guan Jiahui now, although she is already 20 years old, she is actually about the same as those girls.

"Is it really that good?" Yang Ming asked deliberately.

"It's very, very good. Although it's the Mandarin version, I think it's better than those Cantonese versions."

At the beginning, when Huang Xizhao and Yang Jie discussed it, Huang Xizhao thought that Hong Kong spoke 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 for advice, Yang Ming also suggested keeping the Mandarin version. As for changing it to Cantonese, it can also be dubbed in Cantonese in the future.

It is best to use the original Mandarin version for the first broadcast now.

In the end, Huang Xizhao could only keep the Mandarin version.

Guan Jiahui might feel uncomfortable when she heard it was Mandarin at first, but when she watched it, she found that it was not. The Mandarin version was very effective.

Yang Ming was pulled down from upstairs by Guan Jiahui.

At this time, the theme song of the second episode had already started playing. It must be said that Yang Ming found it to be exactly the same, authentic.

"Peter, come and see, it's very good." Li Yufang shouted.

Yang Ming sat down next to his parents.

When the second episode "Officially Conferred Bi Ma Wen" started, Yang Ming found that all of them were attracted by the TV series.

When the second episode was finished, it was 20:45 in the evening.

At this time, the audience in Hong Kong seemed to be attracted.

Even if TVB was also broadcasting their prime dramas tonight, like Shaw Yi Fu and his second wife were attracted by Asia Television's "Journey to the West", you can imagine what the ratings of TVB's prime dramas tonight will be.

That night, the ratings of the two TV stations came out. Usually, the ratings of these two TV stations are not too different.

Tonight, Asia Television Hong Kong Channel broadcast "Journey to the West". The first episode "The Monkey King's First Appearance" had a viewership rating of about 85%. At the end of the first episode, the viewership rating was close to 90%. At the end of the second episode, the viewership rating exceeded 95%.

It can be said that this is the TV series with the highest viewership in the history of Hong Kong TV. I am afraid that other TV series will find it difficult to surpass it.
