Zheng Shaoqiu left TVB as early as 1983 to develop in Taiwan. Not long after, he married Fei Fei and came back.
He is currently filming with TVB, and they all sign contracts one at a time.
But last year, he and Fei Fei divorced, and many teachers scolded him for always abandoning him, so the filming of the TV series became a bit difficult.
Since he is not responsible for the ratings, he will make movies, so he made several movies during this period.
Furthermore, because he left the house when he divorced Feifei, he is now very short of money.
In the original time and space, he briefly joined ATV. If he hadn't become famous with the "Playing with Qianlong", he might have gone silent.
Yang Ye is now recruiting Zheng Shaoqiu. The timing can be said to be very appropriate.
Zheng Shaoqiu heard that Yang Ye wanted to ask him to make a TV series, and smiled bitterly: "Sir Yang, to be honest, I am not very popular now. If you ask me to make a TV series, I'm afraid..."
Yang Ye shook his head and said: "Actors always have to rely on their works to speak for themselves. Personal matters are just for the audience to talk about after dinner. As long as you can produce good works, those personal matters are not worth mentioning.
Isn't it true? To tell you the truth, I have built a film and television city in Shenzhen. This "Playing with Qianlong" is the first production after the film and television city is completed. We need a heavyweight actor like Qiuguan to take charge!"
Zheng Shaoqiu couldn't help but feel very excited after hearing this. This "A Play on Qianlong" seemed very impressive as soon as he heard it.
Because he divorced Fei Fei and then married his mistress, the mistresses in Hong Kong and Taiwan don’t like him very much for the time being.
Yang Ye personally came forward to invite him, which not only provided help in times of need, but also gave him enough face. Zheng Shaoqiu had nothing to say, so he readily agreed.
And he has not signed a contract with a company now. The strength of Baiyang Brokerage Company is obvious to all, so choosing to join is a matter of course.
There is no need for Yang Ye to personally intervene in the follow-up matters, just confirm the intention.
As for how "Joking Qianlong" is produced, that is a matter for the production team.
With such an excellent script, and the two leading actors Zheng Shaoqiu and Zhao Yazhi already in place, ATV's production team is already very powerful, and the chance of it not becoming popular is extremely small.
After Zheng Shaoqiu and Yang Ye finished chatting, they left the set.
He Qing looked at Zheng Shaoqiu's back and said to Yang Ye: "I always thought he was a high-ranking star, but I didn't expect him to be so approachable and without any pretensions."
Yang Ye He smiled and said: "I don't have any airs, so what airs can he have?"
"That's true, they all respect you so much!"
Yang Ye said: "There is no difference between Hong Kong and Taiwan stars and mainland stars. They are both just jobs. It is just that the entertainment industry in Hong Kong and Taiwan developed earlier. The mainland has not yet started.
We are all Chinese. There is no need to think that Hong Kong and Taiwan are superior and the mainland is inferior. There will be many opportunities for cooperation between the two sides of the Taiwan Strait. "< br>
He Qing was very moved after hearing this and said seriously: "I know, you are so kind!"
"I'm going to the mainland in two days, please go with me. ! ”
"Okay, where to go?"
"Xichang!"
......
"5, 4, 3, 2, 1, light the fire!"
< br>A dazzling flash of light disappeared momentarily, followed immediately by a large amount of white smoke rising from both sides of the Long March 3 rocket.
The rocket took off, leaving a long trail in the blue sky.
Yang Ye hugged He Qing's waist, looked up at the rocket flying into space, and said proudly: "This is our Asia-1 communications satellite! From now on, China and even Asian countries and regions will The radio, television and satellite communication industries in the region must be promoted by it!”
The “Asia-1” communication satellite was purchased directly.
It was originally a geostationary communications satellite manufactured by the American Hughes Company, and its original name was Western Union-6.
The satellite is cylindrical with a diameter of 2.2 meters and a height of 6.5 meters. It has 24 C-band transponders, weighs 1.25 tons, and has a designed operating life of 10 years.
It failed to enter orbit during its launch in 1984. After wandering in space for eight months, it was successfully recovered by the US space shuttle.
After the establishment of the Asia Satellite Company of the original time and space, they first discussed whether to build a satellite of their own.
After struggling a lot, I remembered that there was a ready-made one in the United States, so I decided to spend money to buy it.
This time Yang Ye directly mentioned that the United States has a Western Union Star-6 that was not successfully launched.
As a result, AsiaSat made a prompt decision and bought the satellite back.
After repair, the satellite was named "Asia-1" and was launched one year earlier than the original time and space.
He Qing looked up at the sky, then turned to look at Yang Ye's handsome face full of confidence, his eyes full of admiration.
From then on, the male stars in the entertainment industry, no matter how handsome they were, could not catch her eye.
......
Yang Ye returned to Hong Kong, and the script of Chen Musheng and Chen Kexin had been completed.
Yang Ye read them all and found that Chen Kexin's was better.
Chen Kexin's style can often touch people's hearts in some details, which Chen Musheng does not have.
As for Chen Musheng, his film philosophy is...art is explosion.
Chen Musheng is known as Hong Kong's bombshell in later generations. He is really not suitable for this kind of romance film.
Hey, do you want me to give him a movie about Bombshell?
More later.
Yang Ye adjusted the rhythm of Chen Kexin's script slightly, came to him and said: "Pete, this movie is left to you, don't let me down."
< br>Chen Kexin was very excited and said quickly: "I will try my best!"
Yang Ye hummed and asked: "The male protagonist of this movie is Ayou. This is me. I made an agreement with him before. Who do you think is more suitable for the heroine? "
"50 First Dates" is a light comedy, which was tailor-made for Zhang Xueyou by Yang Ye.
If you use Zhou Xingchi, it would be a more exaggerated comedy.
In Hollywood, Adam Sandler's role has always been light comedy. For more exaggerated comedy, you have to look at Jim Carrey.
Chen Kexin said: "I think Gong Li is more suitable."
Yang Ye nodded: "Then you can invite her yourself, by the way, and then ask A Le to play the role. Ayou’s brother.”
The heroine of this movie is a girl with amnesia, and she needs to appear in several different states in the movie.
The requirements for acting skills are relatively high, so choosing Gong Li is very suitable. It can be seen that Chen Kexin has thought carefully about it before.
As for Alek Chan Bai-xiang, he is best suited to play such a mean and slightly wretched role.
……
Yang Ye has been a little tired recently and has to meet many people.
After Run Run Shaw stopped obstructing, the satellite TV license was quickly approved, and Yang Ye named it Star TV.
In the original time and space, Star TV was a Chinese satellite TV station built by Li Huagua for his son Li Er. It was later acquired by media tycoon Rupert Murdoch and renamed Star TV.
Now Hong Kong’s first satellite TV station is in the hands of Yang Ye. How could he sell it to Murdoch?
In this case, the name of this TV station is my own.
As for the preparation of Star TV, he had to do many things personally.
The first thing is to hire a station director. ATV’s deputy director Zhong Jinghui is undoubtedly the best candidate.
Zhong Jinghui is the cheating master in "God of Gamblers 3: Young God of Gamblers". He has held an important position since the time of LiTV. He is not only highly respected, but also knows the operation of the TV station well.
And I have just turned fifty this year, so I am not too old and I have enough energy.
In the office, Yang Ye was discussing his plan for Star TV with Zhong Jinghui.
“Lao Zhong, my vision for Star TV is to build it into a frontier of Asian popular culture, while ignoring things like finance and politics.”
Zhong Jinghui couldn't understand that for a TV station, these were quite important.
Yang Ye has his own plans. In a few years, Phoenix TV, a company with a very mysterious background, will settle in Hong Kong.
In its heyday, mainlanders relied on Phoenix TV’s version of overseas news, which shows its great influence.
Yang Ye has no intention of competing with him, everyone is playing his own game!
Yang Ye explained: "In my plan, Star TV is actually a supplement to the entertainment landscape. Its main function is to promote our artists and products within Asia."
Next, Yang Ye roughly explained his intentions and some program plans.
There are many things that Zhong Jinghui has never heard of. For example, Yang Ye proposed to create a new singing program called "The Voice of China".
Music competitions are not new. For example, Radio Television Hong Kong’s “Amateur Singing Competition in 18 Districts of Hong Kong” and TVB’s “Rookie Singing Competition” are very famous and have unearthed many well-known singers.
LiTV used to hold singing competitions, but they have not done so since Yang Ye took over ATV because they directly broadcast the "Amateur Singing Competition in the Eighteen Districts of Hong Kong" produced by Radio Television Hong Kong.
The program format of The Voice is very novel and interesting compared to traditional singing competitions.
For example, in the traditional competition model, there are several judges sitting in the audience, and then the contestants sing on the stage. After singing, they will be commented and given a score to determine whether the contestants advance.
As for this "The Voice of China", the production team went to all over the world in advance to find good singers and invited them to come and compete.
During the competition, there were no judges. Instead, four highly respected people in the music industry were invited to serve as mentors.
They sit on four special chairs with their backs to the contestants. If the song sung by the contestant is approved by them, they will press a button and turn around to express their willingness to accept the contestant's song. student.
And if a contestant sings particularly well and has more than one mentor to turn him around, then the contestant counter-selection phase will begin.
At this time, the tutor must find ways to impress the students, otherwise, the students he likes may go to others.
The singer who wins in the end will make his debut directly, and an exclusive record will be created for him by Poplar Records and Rolling Stone Records.
After listening to it, Zhong Jinghui felt that this was awesome.
The program is novel and interesting, and the final prize is very attractive.
As a singer, my dream is to release records.
Speaking of attractive prizes, another TV game show planned by Yang Ye is even more awesome.
Give money directly, one million Hong Kong dollars in cash.
This show is called "Millionaire" and any legal citizen over the age of sixteen can participate.
As long as the contestants can answer fifteen questions from simple to difficult, they can take home a prize of one million on the spot.
This is so exciting!
Zhong Jinghui couldn't help but admire Yang Ye's whimsical ideas.
And Yang Ye is not just as simple as coming up with an idea.
He has a complete set of plans, specific to all aspects.
For example, "Millionaire" is not a game that simply answers questions.
It is an innovative game show designed with careful planning and dramatic elements.
For example, how to arrange game scenes, music effects, and lighting effects.
How does the host control the venue, how to design questions, how to select participants, etc.
Every aspect of the content is included, and the feeling given to Zhong Jinghui is... Yang Ye seems to have experienced this program personally.
"Director Yang, I heard Director Hu Jinquan say before that you can play blind chess and know the whole chess game clearly. When you make a movie, you can also have it in mind in advance as to what you want it to look like. Yes. I was still a little doubtful at that time, but I am convinced today."
Yang Ye said calmly: "Old Zhong, you are too generous."
Zhong Jinghui smiled and said: "But you are hiding something secret. Why didn't you give such a good program to ATV before?"
Yang Ye said: "I have never thought about this problem before. Recently, for Star TV I have been thinking about the launch of these programs every day before I came up with them.
Whether they will work or not will only be known after they are produced and tested. However, what you said makes sense. I can’t favor one over the other.
Well, let's hand over the program "Millionaire" to ATV to produce it. As soon as you said it, I figured it out. This program is not suitable for Star TV. "
Zhong Jinghui nodded, it is true. Judging from the description of the show "Millionaire", it needs to be very local to make it look good.
If it were left to Star TV, the audience would be too scattered, and just selecting the audience would be a very troublesome task.
For example, if a Singaporean audience passes the selection, would you buy him a round-trip air ticket to come to Hong Kong to compete?
So, the best way is to limit the competition to the city of Hong Kong, and the contestants are all ordinary citizens of Hong Kong.
That way it is down-to-earth and good-looking.
However, as the incoming station director, Zhong Jinghui couldn't help but feel a little hurt when he sent a promising-sounding program to a friend station because of his own words.
The two chatted for a long time, and Yang Ye finally said: "Old Zhong, I will leave you to worry about setting up the leadership team of Star TV. ATV can transfer a few people, but not too many, and it cannot affect the operation of ATV."< br>
Zhong Jinghui nodded to express his understanding and left.
Sending Zhong Jinghui away, Yang Ye left for Baiyang Brokerage Company.
Chai Zhiping has selected candidates for "F4" with the cooperation of her brokerage company and asked Yang Ye for her opinion.
Anyway, within a few steps, Yang Ye went over to meet him in person.
These days I have been sitting in the office meeting various people non-stop. When I get tired of it, I go out for some exercise.
......
Dai Sicong is a music teacher hired by Baiyang Agency. He has a fixed time every week to give lessons to the company's trainees and teach vocal music knowledge.
Dai Sicong is known as the "Godfather of Hong Kong Music" in later generations. Many celebrities have become popular because of his training. Such as Anita Mui, Liming, etc.
At this moment, four young boys were sitting in a classroom of Baiyang Brokerage Company, and they were listening carefully to Dai Sicong's lecture.
All of them were handsome, but a girl sitting next to them didn't pay much attention to the class, and was looking at the four handsome guys in a daze.
Yang Ye walked into the classroom with Chai Zhiping and Lizhi. His eyes lit up. They were all acquaintances!
However, he did not ask who the four handsome men were. Instead, he asked Chai Zhiping: "Who is that little girl?"
Chai Zhiping was stunned, she didn't know.
Their conversation disturbed Dai Sicong who was in class.
Seeing this, Yang Ye put on a smile and shook hands with Dai Sicong: "Hello, Mr. Dai!"
Dai Sicong said happily: "Sir Yang, I have admired you for a long time. Sorry, this girl is my student , came here to play with me, A Fei, came here to meet Sir Yang!"
The girl stood up happily, shook hands with Yang Ye generously, and said: "Hello Sir Yang, my name is Wang Fei!"
Yang Ye was happy and said happily: "Hello, Miss Wang!"
He just thought about holding a good voice competition, and a good voice came to his door. (End of chapter)
