    "Stop watching, come and eat." Shen Chong hummed, but sat on the sofa without moving, still staring at the picture on the TV. On the TV, Leslie Cheung with a beard was standing on the wall smoking, and the lights  When viewed obliquely from above, smoke lingers in front of you, hazy yet elegant, decadent and vicissitudes of life.  In the past, the unruly wind did not like to take root. I said that I was most afraid of the oath. If you are infatuated with me, you will definitely be sad. I will always be a temporary lover. This song "Unruly Wind" was one of the ten songs that Shen Chong plagiarized for Leslie Cheung in Los Angeles.  One song was later selected as the promotional song for the Cantonese version of "Love at Dawn". Before he went to the mainland, the filming of this song had not started. When he came back, it had been played on Jiayi TV for a week.  .  Seeing that he didn't move, Zhang Ai took off his apron, came over and sat on the armrest of the sofa, watched TV with him, and asked: "How was the filming?" Combining music and movie scenes, he created a new kind of  Pop culture is an epoch-making product, but in 19RU, it was still a new thing. No one knew how to shoot it. People who knew how to make music didn¡¯t know how to make movies. Those who knew how to make movies didn¡¯t know music. People who knew movies and  Those who know music are almost all big directors, and they have no interest in shooting NV with basically no budget - just like how few big directors in the 1st century were willing to make online micro-movies.  Before Michael Jackson's "Thriller" album appeared, everything in the world was similar. Singers either danced and sang at the same time, or sang while posing. This song "Unruly Wind" belongs to the type of posing and singing. Leslie Cheung is in  There are different P's in different environments. It's not very creative or story-telling, but it's commendable that the filming is exquisite, the director is very capable, and the pictures and atmosphere are very beautiful. The whole photo album is like a dynamic photo album.  , pleasing to the eye, showing Leslie Cheung's personal charm to the fullest.  "The camera switching is a bit stiff, not coherent enough, and not delicate enough, but the pictures of people are quite beautiful." Shen Chong is not a person who likes to interfere in other people's work. Zhang Aijia is also a woman with a very independent temperament, so in addition to occasionally giving  Apart from giving some advice on the promotion of "Love at Dawn", it was basically not involved in the specific work, so I asked: "Who directed this?" "Yang Fan." "It turned out to be him." Yang Fan is quite famous in Hong Kong.  is a film director and professional photographer who has made films such as "Flowers of the Sea", "Golden Years" and "A Dream in the Garden". His films are known for their aesthetics, focusing on aesthetics and relatively bland plots, so the box office is not great, but  He has a good reputation in the industry. In addition to movies, this person is also very good at photography. He is as famous as Liang Haiping, the photographer of "Movie Age". He often takes artistic photos for stars and celebrities. Many Taiwanese stars are  I came to Hong Kong to take photos with him.  If I remember correctly, in the time and space of the previous life, Zhang Aijia had made several movies with Yang Fan. They must have known each other for a long time. Shen Chong asked casually: "Did you go to him to film it?" "It wasn't me.  I went to find him through the introduction of 11ua, didn¡¯t you know? Yang Fan used to be the director and producer of Jiayi TV, specializing in making TV specials for singers. Everyone said that H Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon, Jiayi TV seems to be no less generous.  Ah, Tsui Hark, Michelle Cheng, Zheng Yuling, Liang Xiaolong, Feng Suifan and others all came from this TV station. It turns out that Yang Fan also came from this TV station The old Jiayi TV has ended. I don¡¯t know what the future of my new Jiayi TV will be like.  What kind of talents will be cultivated Should we bring all future celebrities online to be our younger brothers, or should we treat them equally and directly train and promote all capable people? "Stop looking and go have a meal."  Zhang Aijia nudged the brilliant Shen Chong and urged: "The premiere is at eight o'clock. It's almost seven o'clock now. It's too late to delay it any longer."  "Forget it, let's take it one step at a time. No amount of talent is too much. "Stop the wind and hug DarIu all night long¡§" Amidst the dynamic music, Shen Chong stood up, bent down and stretched out his hands, and made a gesture  In an invitation to dance, Zhang Aijia smiled sweetly and put her hand on his. Then the two of them walked sideways towards the restaurant. After only two steps, they had to separate - Shen Chong couldn't dance at all and almost tripped Zhang Aijia.  "You!" Zhang Aijia bent down and stroked her ankle, complaining angrily: "The newspapers say you are the most romantic person in Hong Kong, but I think you are the least romantic person in Hong Kong, so I gave you a gift.  It's a mess, the dancing was messy." Shen Chong laughed awkwardly, walked to the dining table in three steps, pulled out the chair first, and said: "Beauty, not only am I not romantic, I haven't even learned how to be a gentleman.  At most, I can only pull out a chair, and at most, I can wash dishes.  " Zhang Aijia smiled slightly, first took the initiative to kiss him, and then Yingying sat down. This is a villa in Kowloon Tong. It used to be a property owned by Golden Gate Construction. Shen Chong took it over and gave it to her.?Zhang Aijia, before he went to the mainland, this place had been under renovation. Today is the first time he came here.  "How does it feel to live here?" "It's nice, very quiet, except for the occasional plane flying over." Zhang Aijia helped him scoop a bowl of soup, and then said, "It's just a bit big to live alone." "There's nothing wrong with being bigger.  Okay" Shen Chong was chatting casually while eating dinner. After a while, seeing that Zhang Aijia was a little distracted, he said, "Don't worry about the movie, the box office won't be bad." "How do you know?  " "There is a golden rule in the real estate industry, which is called location, location, and location. There is also a golden rule in the film industry, which is called fame, fame, and fame." Shen Chong explained slowly: "I watched PolyGram in the afternoon.  According to reports, his new album has sold 10,000 copies in just one week, setting a record for the fastest double platinum sales in the history of the Hong Kong record industry. He is now very popular. Just by his face on the movie poster,  At least it can attract a box office of 00,000. "It's only 00,000." "It's my first time as a director. How much more do you want?" "2 million was not bad last year."  "This year, the entire Hong Kong market has been stirred up by you, and you can't even sell out 00,000 yuan." Zhang Aijia breathed out softly and said, "It would be very embarrassing if the box office and reputation of my movie were not as good as others, after all.  My office is on the seventh floor. " Shen Chong was stunned for a moment, and then understood - Oriental Charm started shooting 9 movies at the same time last month in the name of "touchstone". She was worried that she would not be able to compete with those assistant producers.  After all, she is the second person besides Hu Jinquan to have an independent office on the seventh floor and have independent filming rights.  "In the film industry, there are three kinds of fame that can attract box office. One is an actor, one is a director, and the other is a producer. The fame of HrIt can sell for 00,000 yuan. The fame of HrIt can sell for 1 million. Yours  Fame can sell for 1 million, and my fame can sell for 5 million. With publicity and marketing, it is not impossible for the final box office to exceed 10 million." Shen Chong counted the numbers with his fingers, and then comforted him with a smile:  "A box office of 10UU million, is it satisfactory enough?" "Of course I am satisfied with 10UU million, but can it really have 10UU million?" "I said yes, there must be." Zhang Aijia looked at him sideways for a long time, and then  He sneered and said: "What if there is not 10UU million?" "If it is less than 10UU million, I will let you do it. If it exceeds 10UU million, you will let me do it." Hong Kong in the RU era had the most fanatical movies in the world.  Audiences, many citizens go to see a movie every week or even every day. The strong market demand has not only prospered Hong Kong's production industry, but also prospered the screening industry. For example, at the junction of Tsim Sha Tsui and Nathan Road, the area is less than 0.5 square kilometers.  There are seven theaters gathered together. You must know that in 19RU, Hong Kong's cinemas were all single-family buildings, covering a large area. Tsim Sha Tsui was a prime business district, and every inch of land was precious. Seven theaters were nestled together. The competition was fierce.  It is rare, but no boss has demolished the theater and converted it into a shopping mall or office building. Obviously everyone is making money, which shows the prosperity of Hong Kong's film industry at this time.  The seven theaters near Nathan Road are Washington, London, Happy, Dahua, Puqing, Jiahe and Kwun Yong. Among them, Jiahe Cinema is the leading theater of Jiahe's theater chain, and is also the home of "Love at Dawn".  ¡·The location of the premiere.  Premiere publicity was a common method in the 1st century, and almost every movie had to do it. However, in Hong Kong in 19RU, no one had ever done such a thing. "Love at Dawn" is  The first to take advantage of the situation - "Die Hard" had its premiere in the United States, but not in Hong Kong, because this movie has been the focus of the Hong Kong media's pursuit and reporting since the beginning of filming.  After half a year of bombing and brewing, the popularity and popularity have already exploded, and there is no need to hold a premiere to promote it.  The extravagant Academy Awards in April boosted the influence of movies on Hong Kong's pop culture. Vanity Fair, a weekly magazine dedicated to creating stars, spared no effort to showcase and praise the charm of stars. Under the shining stars, people were enchanted.  Fans of star-struck fans naturally emerged. The film's leading actors Leslie Cheung and Brigitte Lin are both high-quality idols with a large number of fans. It is also a weekend, so the premiere is scheduled to be held at 8 o'clock in the evening, around 4 o'clock in the afternoon.  , the entrance and lobby of Jiahe Theater were crowded with movie fans who came to watch the ceremony, including of course many reporters who heard the news.  Qian Xiaoni was wearing a sleeveless white dress and stood beside the red carpet at the entrance of Jiahe Theater. She stroked her hair in front of the makeup mirror, pursed her lipsticked lips, and then raised her head and asked the photographer: "I  "How does it look?" "Very good." Qian Xiaoni handed the mirror to the assistant, lowered her head, and gently pulled the collar of her clothes with both hands. Her fair arms, proud breasts, and looming career line made her  A group of men around him watched intently and swallowed their saliva.  "Heaven""With her good looks and devilish figure, she is worthy of being a Taiwanese beauty of Jiayi TV." "No wonder the "Daily Video News" she hosted has become Jiayi TV's highest-rated self-produced program. It is so coquettish that I feel pity for her."  " "Tsk, tsk, she's so coquettish. If I can sleep with her once, it'll be worth dying for."  " "Stop dreaming, that is Shen Caishen's woman, you can't just sleep if you want to.  " "Is she related to Shen Caishen?  How did I not hear it being said.  " "You are too ill-informed. Let me tell you, among the dozens of employees of Jiayi TV, she is the only one who was personally arranged by Shen Caishen. Do you think it matters?  And last time when she jumped into the sea naked, I saw Shen Caishen personally pick her up on the boat, like this holding her up with both hands.  " "Shen Caishen hugs her from left to right, and is famous for being lustful and greedy for women. How could she not let such a top-notch female host go?"  ¡± The workplace is the most training place for people. Different from the shy person who blushed when meeting people a few months ago, after more than two months of experience, Qian Xiaoni stood in the crowd, listening to the gossip, his face did not change, his heart did not beat,  She picked up the microphone with the Jiayi TV logo on it, tried the sound check, and then spoke fluently about the opening remarks: "Dear viewers, I am currently at the Golden Harvest Theater on Nathan Road in Kowloon. Tonight, ""  The premiere of "Love at Dawn"" As soon as she finished the report, she heard a burst of noise and shouting from nearby, the sounds were from small to loud, from scattered to neat. "" "" "" "Leslie Cheung  "Here it comes, go take pictures." Qian Xiaoni immediately ran forward. As soon as she ran, a large group of entertainment reporters immediately followed her and ran towards the entrance of the red carpet. After H and Li's TV cameras and the host of the location program were stunned,  They also hurriedly followed up - they are all newly formed teams, and their sensitivity and response to news are not as fast as others. Although Jiayi TV only has one movie channel, in addition to showing movies, it also produces some interviews and entertainment news programs.  , among them, "Daily Movie News" hosted by Qian Xiaoni has attracted the attention of a large number of movie lovers. It has become the most popular program on Jiayi TV only one month after its launch, and its ratings overwhelm H and Li's TV programs in the same period.  . In 19RU, watching movies was still a relatively high-end entertainment experience, and the television industry was not mature enough at this time. In addition to the prime-time TV series in the evening, there was a lack of other programs to attract viewers. Therefore, although the program content of Jiayi TV was a bit monotonous,  But the ratings are not low, and they can firmly hold down Li's TV most of the time. When showing some classic movies, the ratings can even overwhelm H and briefly take the top spot in the ratings. It has oriental charm.  With the support of the film library, Jiayi TV went into business lightly and had very low operating costs. Therefore, it adopted the strategy of small profits but quick turnover in advertising investment. The charging standards were set relatively cheap. At the same time, Shen Chong's rising reputation also added a lot to the TV station.  Some companies and businessmen use advertising on Jiayi TV as a stepping stone to make friends with Shen Chong. Hong Kong is so big and the advertising market is limited. As many orders as Jiayi TV takes away, H and Li TV will lose a lot of income.  They had no choice but to work hard and work hard. In short, with three TV stations operating side by side, the competitive pressure was far greater than that of two TV stations fighting for hegemony. Therefore, as soon as Qian Xiaoni¡¯s program became popular, H and Li¡¯s TV stations immediately formed similar entertainment information programs to compete.  Ratings.
