Chapter 708 Shocked! Hong Kong Citizens Want to Go Home Early to Watch "

Chapter 708 Shock! Hong Kong citizens wanted to go home early to watch "Journey to the West" and caused serious traffic jams! !

This is destined to be a phenomenal TV series.

As far as Hong Kong is concerned, before this, a 20-episode TV series had a maximum rating of more than 30%, which was already very impressive. Now, the ratings of "Journey to the West" shot by Asia Television through mainland director Yang Jie and mainland actors are as high as 90%, which is probably unprecedented.

It has never happened before, and it will be difficult to encounter in the future.

It will start broadcasting on the evening of the first day of the Lunar New Year, and from Monday to Friday, two episodes will be broadcast every night during prime time.

Early the next morning.

Yang Ming just got up.

When Yang Ming came down from upstairs and had breakfast with his parents, he learned from the newspapers that the ratings of the first episode of "Journey to the West" last night were 85%, and the second episode had actually broken through to more than 95%.

So now all the major newspapers in Hong Kong are about this news.

In addition, the news also reported that TVB's Shaw Yi-fu and other senior executives could not sleep last night, so they held a meeting overnight and announced that they would also shoot "Journey to the West" that night.

At first, TVB was going to hire directors and actors from the mainland, but in order to differentiate themselves from Asia Television and localize, they eventually selected screenwriters, directors and actors from TVB itself.

In this case, the "Journey to the West" shot by TVB itself will definitely be different.

Now that Asia Television can be used as a reference, it may play a certain role for TVB.

Yang Ming thought.

TVB also filmed "Journey to the West" in history, but he felt it was very eye-catching after watching it.

I don't know if TVB will have the same situation this time.

Regardless of TVB, Yang Ming believes that Asia Television will be far ahead of TVB in terms of TV series after this time.

In addition, when "Journey to the West" is over, Asia Television will soon broadcast new TV series in prime time, which will lead a new trend.

Even if it cannot surpass the ratings of this "Journey to the West", Yang Ming believes that it will definitely not be bad.

When Yang Ming and his parents finished breakfast.

Today Yang Ming took a car back to Empire Group for work.

Back to Empire Group.

At this time, the staff of Empire Group headquarters have already gone to work.

Empire Group gives employees annual leave on New Year's Eve and the first day of the new year, and resumes work on the second day of the new year.

Many white people in Hong Kong do not celebrate the Spring Festival, and they will go to get off work normally.

Yang Ming came to the chairman's office.

Lin Xiuzhi greeted and said: "Boss, my family and I watched the "Journey to the West" last night. It was very good."

It was normal for Lin Xiuzhi and her family to watch it.

At this time, Hong Kong's material and spiritual aspects are much richer than those in China. There are many movies and TV series, but it is actually very rare to encounter such a phenomenal TV series.

Yang Ming drank the cup of coffee brewed by Lin Xiuzhi.

In the morning, Yang Ming was busy in front of the computer.

. . .

In the afternoon.

Yang Ming worked until 17:00 in the afternoon.

Lin Xiuzhi did not stay either. She had to go home in a hurry to continue watching "Journey to the West" tonight.

Yang Ming got off the Empire Group and got on the car.

When Chen Zhenhua and others drove away from here, it was still very smooth at first. Slowly, Chen Zhenhua found that the road ahead was seriously congested and basically impossible to pass.

"Boss, there is a traffic jam ahead."

Chen Zhenhua did not expect that he would encounter a traffic jam now.

Could it be related to the Chinese New Year?

"What's going on?"

Not only private cars after get off work were stuck in traffic, but also buses, buses, school buses, etc. seemed to be all stuck.

At first, Chen Zhenhua was a little worried whether it would be bad for the boss.

At this time, he had seen the police in front of him maintaining order.

The police noticed that it was Sir Yang sitting in the Rolls-Royce now, and those police officers hurried over to greet Yang Ming.

"Hello, Sir Yang."

The police saluted outside.

"What's going on?"

"Sir Yang, it's like this. For some reason, many people got off work at about the same time today, which led to several accidents and traffic jams. Our colleagues are already maintaining order."

Getting off work at about the same time?

Yang Ming was a little confused.

In that case, Yang Ming could only wait in the car.

At this time, it was not just him.

Including Li Jiacheng in Mercedes-Benz, Bao Yugang in Rolls-Royce, and Wu Guangzhen in Bentley, they all got off work and went home to accompany their families for dinner around 17:00 or 17:30.

At this time, almost all of them were stuck in traffic.

At first, Li Jiacheng, Bao Yugang, Wu Guangzhen and others thought that Sir Yang was going to the airport again, which caused the traffic jam.

At this time, a voice came from the radio in the car.

"Dear drivers, dear passengers, pay attention, pay attention, Hennessy Road, Canal Road, Hung Hom Tunnel are all experiencing large-scale traffic jams! Hong Kong has dispatched many police officers to maintain order."

. . .

"From the interviews with drivers by radio reporters, we learned that the massive traffic jam in Central Hong Kong may be related to the broadcast of Journey to the West. Many people wanted to get off work early, have dinner with their families, and watch Journey to the West on the local TV station." Yang Ming was sitting in the car reading a newspaper when he suddenly heard the news on the radio. He was stunned.

Those working people actually left work early and prepared to go home to watch "Journey to the West" tonight.

Perhaps, this is really a major reason.

One reason is that after 17:00, it is the peak time for getting off work in the central area of ​​Hong Kong. In addition, many students also go home after class at this time.

In addition to taking the subway without traffic jams, private cars, buses, school buses, etc. all go home through land channels.

"Boss, the TV station said it was related to watching "Journey to the West." Chen Zhenhua said.

Last night, the bodyguards did not watch it, but they also heard that "Journey to the West" was very popular.

"It's possible."

It was almost half an hour.

With the maintenance of the traffic police.

The road was finally open to traffic.

Yang Ming took a car back to the Repulse Bay Mid-Levels Villa at about 19:15 in the evening.

Yang Jirong and his wife, Ah Zhu, Guan Jiahui, and Zhong Chuhong who had already returned were watching TV.

"Daddy, Mommy, I'm back."

"Peter, go have lunch first, your daddy and I are going to watch TV."

Looking at his parents' expressions.

Yang Ming could only go have dinner by himself.

After he finished dinner, he returned to the living room and saw that the third episode of tonight was still playing. Yang Ming saw that his parents were so focused on watching TV that he didn't stay.

Go upstairs.

It was 22:30 in the evening.

Huang Xizhao came.

"Boss, I really admire you."

If you want to say who Huang Xizhao admires the most, it must be his boss Sir Yang.

Now "Journey to the West" has been broadcast to the fourth episode. Judging from the ratings of these four episodes, the ratings of each episode are higher than the previous one. It is even said that during the rush hour tonight, there was a traffic jam because many people were anxious to go home to watch Journey to the West.

"Boss, Journey to the West is very popular now. In addition to the increase in prime-time advertising fees for our TV station, many TV stations from Japan, Korea, Taiwan, and Southeast Asia want to bid for the broadcast rights of Journey to the West. What do you think?"

This was within Yang Ming's expectations.

"Don't worry, wait until we finish the first round of broadcasts. The second round will be sold to domestic TV stations, and the third round will be sold to foreign TV stations."
