In October, after the filming of "Enemy of the State" was completed, Xiang Nan returned to Xiangjiang.
I went to see Shanshan first. She is one year away from graduation.
"Brother, you are so awesome. You actually have your own TV station. Whatever programs you want to watch in the future, just ask the TV station to show them." Shanshan said with a smile, "I have had such a dream when I was a child."
"Haha, you really think about it." Xiang Nan said with a smile, "Although the TV station is mine, it is aimed at millions of people in Hong Kong. How can I just say what program will be shown?"
"You're right, I said it's fun." Shanshan nodded.
"Shanshan, after you graduate, I hope you will work at ATV as the assistant to the CEO." Xiang Nan added, "In a few years, after you have developed your abilities, I will promote you to CEO. When the time comes, I’ll let you take charge of ATV.”
"Me?!" Shanshan was surprised when she heard this, "Can I do it?"
"Of course. Four or five years ago, you wouldn't believe that you would graduate from college, right? Ten years ago, you wouldn't believe that you would know me and come to Hong Kong to develop, right?" Xiang Nan laughed. He said, "Give yourself some confidence. You are not stupid and you love to learn. You will definitely become talented."
"Well, I understand, brother, I will try my best." Shanshan nodded.
…
Xiang Nan then went to see Wang Jing.
"Mr. Ning, I really admire you. "Titanic" has a box office of 1.8 billion US dollars. You have really bad vision!!" Wang Jing said with a smile, "Can you impart some experience?"
"This is talent, you can't learn it." Xiang Nan waved his hand and said with a smile, "But as long as the story is interesting and innovative, I think there will be no shortage of box office."
"It makes sense." Wang Jing smiled and nodded.
He is a screenwriter and he attaches great importance to script creation. Script and script are the basis of a play. Without a good script and a good story, he also believes that it will not have a good box office.
"These are some scripts and programs I created for ATV. You can hand them over to them when the time comes." Xiang Nan added.
Wang Jing took it and took a look and saw that there were more than a dozen scripts and program plans.
There are "Golden Branch Desire", "Step by Step Shocking", "Dong Du Detective", "Male Love and Female Love", "Forensic Pioneer", "Up to the Sky", "School Police Sniper", "Monkey King" "Sun Wukong", "Super Girl", "Wisdom and Courage", "Hong Kong Talent Show"...
He briefly browsed through it, and then fell in love with Xiang Nan's admiration again.
He is also a talented person in his own right, but his talent has its upper limit. "God of Gamblers", "The Deer and the Cauldron", "The Rogue Emperor", and "The King of Kings" are the upper limits of his talent.
But he couldn't see where Xiang Nan's upper limit was, it was several realms higher than him. This was enough to make him despair.
"As soon as an expert takes action, he will know if there is any." Wang Jing smiled and said, "Mr. Ning, with your scripts and planning, ATV will definitely be able to do it."
"It's just this time." Xiang Nan waved his hand and said with a smile, "The key is to be self-reliant and have his own blood-forming function. And in the future, ATV will have to take a longer-term view. After all, Xiangjiang only has a population of a few million and does not have a big market.
But the mainland has a population of 1.2 billion, hundreds of times that of Xiangjiang. Therefore, ATV must learn to look at the state and not always compete with TVB for the three melons and two jujubes. "
Hong Kong dramas originally had a huge market in the mainland, such as "Royal Court No. 1", "Criminal Files", "Intolerance", "I'm Kind", "Big Time", etc., and they all set off a viewing frenzy in the mainland.
Moreover, the life of Hong Kong people in the play is also very exciting. For example, in "Royal Court No. 1", several friends gathered in a bar after get off work, talked and laughed all night and then went home.
Their handling of emotions is also worth learning from. If you meet someone you like, chase them; if you don't love them, let them go. Everyone is responsible for their own feelings.
Such a life is naturally desirable.
But in the new century, after TVB completely defeated ATV, it stopped making progress, and most of the dramas it produced were teacher dramas. For example, "The Heart-wrenching Storm", "Love Comes Home", "As You Like It", "Colleagues Are in Love" and so on.
Most of these dramas revolve around trivial matters and end happily. Just like mainland mother-in-law and daughter-in-law dramas, they are bloody and boring.
Young people don't like to watch it, and older people won't ignore Mainland mother-in-law and daughter-in-law dramas to watch Xiangjiang's teacher-nursing dramas. Therefore, Hong Kong dramas gradually lost market in the mainland.
On the other hand, the South Korean television industry has been constantly innovating over the years.
"My Love from the Star", "Descendants of the Sun", "Reply 1988", "Kingdom", "Squid Game", "Running Man", "Produce 101", "New Journey to the West", "Three Hours" "Three Meals", "Sisters Over Flowers"...
Both dramas and variety shows are very popular around the world.
The reason for this is that South Korea has always pursued the "going out" strategy, so it produces mostly TV series with the greatest commonality, such as romance, action, suspense, thriller...
Moreover, the actors are mostly handsome men and beautiful women, and their appearance alone can attract large audiences. Therefore, although Korean dramas have their own characteristics and even the language is different from those in the mainland, they still have a large number of fans in the mainland.
Korean dramas can be popular in the mainland, so there is no reason why Hong Kong dramas can't do the same.
…
Xiang Nan then made an appointment with Zhu Xuan to meet.
Zhu Hong was born in 1971 and graduated from the Hong Kong Academy for the Performing Arts. In 1991, he was selected by Stephen Chow to star in "Fight Back to School". After that, he continued to have film appointments and became a celebrity in Hong Kong.
The starring role in "Journey to the West: The Marriage of the Monkey King" in 1994 pushed her popularity to the highest point. Xiang Nan likes her because of this movie.
Now she is one of the most popular stars in the Hong Kong film industry. Last year alone, she had six movies released. It can be said that she is very popular.
"Miss Zhu is indeed beautiful. No wonder Wang Jing said you have potential." After meeting, Xiang Nan said with a smile.
But I actually feel a little disappointed. Because after meeting Zhu Yan in person, I found that she was not as dazzling as she appeared on the screen.
On the one hand, it is because Zhu Yan is relatively petite. According to the information, she is 160, but in fact, she is only about 1.55 meters tall. Even if she wears high heels, she still looks short.
On the one hand, Zhu Xun's skin color is darker. In real life, no one helped her with lighting, so she looked listless. Not as glamorous as on the screen.
But after all, Xiang Nan has a gentlemanly demeanor and won't be shy in front of a dwarf.
"Thank you, Mr. Ning." Zhu Yan smiled and nodded, "I wonder what Mr. Ning wants to see me for today?"
"Oh, it's nothing. I'm too bored in Xiangjiang alone. I want to find someone to chat with." Xiang Nan smiled and said, "I wonder if Miss Zhu can give me a favor?"
Zhu Yan was stunned for a moment, then nodded, "Of course, I can learn more from Mr. Ning."
