Among the four mentors, Xu Xiaofeng and Zhen Ni are both super top female singers in Hong Kong. , it is rare to be able to put down her figure and be funny and amusing in the show. After Lin Zixiang and Su Rui were broadcast, their fame and worth have risen. Su Rui was not very popular in Hong Kong, but now the appearance fee is close to Alan Tam …”

"How can entertainment programs be educational? That's what it does. It inspires young people to strive for their dreams. It is a program with a great sense of social responsibility. Phoenix TV is also a TV station with a humanistic spirit and a positive attitude."

"Phoenix TV's programs are always big-budget, and the stage is even far more than that of a small concert. It is reported that although the ratings of the first episode soared, the first episode lost 500,000. However, due to the The increase in advertising costs. The second phase will achieve excess profits.”

"According to the investigation of this newspaper, Zhang Weijian, the popular player in the first phase, participated in the Chinese Rookie Singing Grand Prix held by Huaxing Records a few months ago, and the result stopped in the top 30. It is well known that the current singer Anita Mui is Kang Jianfei. , was poached after she was eliminated by the Chinese Singing Rookie Grand Prix. Could it be that Zhang Weijian will become the second Anita Mui? Huaxing Records and TVB always leave Pearl in the dust."

The singer surnamed Zhang once joined He was on the school football team and was fired by the coach for playing too badly, and he was a lousy guy who couldn't do anything."

After the first episode aired, Hong Kong instantly set off a wave of good voices.

At this time, the first round of Sino-British negotiations was over. The good news made Hong Kong's economy recover, and people were not as worried as they were in the previous two months. The four mentors, all of which are big singers with many fans, rely on the TV station's publicity more than a month in advance and the attractiveness of the four mentors, coupled with the novel game mode and teardrop attack. The viewership rating of the first episode was better than the number one viewership rating in ten years.

When the streets and alleys were discussing, the media finally came to join in the fun, covering the show overwhelmingly.

in a roar of applause. There are also opposite scoldings. For example, it is a good Chinese actor, the singer is not singing but acting, etc.

The most outrageous thing is that this newspaper seems to be on the hook with the Phoenix platform, and then took the opportunity to run out and splash Zhang Weijian's dirty water.

Huang Xizhao was not idle this time. After receiving a call from Kang Jianfei, he immediately sent someone to collect the signatures of Zhang Weijian's former teachers and classmates. Then he is going to sue the court, asking him to compensate the program team and Zhang Weijian for a total of 6 million Hong Kong dollars.

When answering a reporter's question, Huang Xizhao said: "Some newspapers have no professional bottom line at all, and they wantonly slander them. Although they did not name their names, 'Singer Zhang' is obviously talking about Zhang Weijian. For the repeated provocation of sales, Phoenix TV will resort to legal means to solve it. Even if the lawsuit cannot be won, Phoenix TV will continue to fight. Look, the little money earned is enough for hundreds of millions of legal fees!"

As soon as Huang Xizhao's words came out, all the colleagues knew that it was over.

A newspaper can indeed increase its sales by making up rumors. When there is no exact target, it is difficult for the slandered to win a lawsuit. Not only is it impossible to win, but the lawsuit will also increase the exposure of the newspaper and make the sales of the newspaper better.

But if the victims have the determination to lose both sides and fight for years and months, the big newspapers can still bear it. The money that the tabloids make every year, but they can't afford the high legal fees.

Sometimes you can't back down. The more you back down, the more you will make progress. Only killing chickens and setting an example is a wise choice.

Just like in the Taiwanese TV industry after the 1990s, many famous mouths spread rumors on the show, slandering or exposing other celebrities and companies, in order to attract attention and increase the ratings.

But there are some companies and celebrities that have been banned from criticizing by Taiwan TV.

Why?

Because as long as you talk badly about these people and the company on the show, the other party will immediately send a lawyer's letter to ask for an apology, and if you don't apologize, you will be taken to court. If things go on like this, TV stations and famous people are afraid, and dare not speak ill of them again.

The same is true. This newspaper, which has an average sales volume of only a few thousand copies, simply did not have the courage to fight with Phoenix TV. It couldn’t hold it before the lawsuit started, and took the initiative to seek private reconciliation with Phoenix TV.

After the "friendly negotiation" between the two parties, the program team paid 100,000 yuan and Zhang Weijian 30,000 yuan for loss of reputation, and published an apology announcement on the front page for a week, and privately promised not to report unfavorable news to Phoenix TV in the future.

Zhang Weijian took 30,000 yuan and was so happy. After the show was broadcast, as the most popular singer in the first episode, more than 20 nightclubs and bars offered olive branches within a few days, inviting him to sing at a high price.

Not only that, there is even a record company that wants to sign Zhang Weijian secretly in private, and promises to start releasing records immediately after signing the contract.

Of course, Zhang Weijian is not a fool. He hasn't finished recording yet, and a good show is yet to come, so he won't be foolish enough to sign to other companies halfway through. What's more, the program team has communicated with him that he can not only sign into Fengxing Records, but also have the opportunity to join Phoenix TV as an actor.

The second issue will soon be ushered in. The popular singer of this issue is Lu Fang. In the parallel space, this person will be the champion of next year's Rookie Singer Grand Prix. In the 1980s, he and Jacky Cheung were focused on training by the record company, and he has always been a close friend of Jacky Cheung. Later, he and Zheng Yuling were in love for more than ten years.

After Lu Fang came on stage, he didn't use any tragic offensive, and only relying on his singing skills won the applause and the competition of the four mentors.

By the way, the second phase was also recorded at the Taiping Theater, with more than 1,800 audience members, all of whom paid several times the ticket price for the movie.

When the second episode was broadcast, few people on the streets of Hong Kong saw it. It has already achieved the effect of the hit that year, and it can definitely be called an empty street. The data of the second issue was quickly counted, reaching a terrifying 73% viewership rate.

Not only is Hong Kong a sensation, because Southeast Asia and Macau also have Phoenix TV audiences. After the second episode was broadcast, Nanyang and Macau also responded strongly. Many people in Nanyang and Macau who like to sing have called or wrote to Phoenix TV to ask overseas audiences if they can sign up, and they are even more impulsive to go directly to Hong Kong by boat and plane.

The media in the Nanyang region and Macau could not hold back, and began to report on the show, and local TV stations also sought the rebroadcast rights.

There are also TV stations that have begun to copy, such as Malaysia's national TV station, but the ratings are ugly after they are made. The reason is very simple. The stage of the copycat program is too small, the lighting and sound equipment is too frustrating, the contestants have not been trained, and the number of cameras is only one-third. Audiences who are used to watching well-made shows are not interested in cheap copycat programs at all.

At the beginning of the preparations, there were many people on the Phoenix TV who secretly satirized Kang Jianfei that he had too much money to spend, especially after the first episode of the show lost more than 500,000 yuan.

Now more than a dozen TV stations from Nanyang and Macau have come to buy the rebroadcast rights, and immediately after earning huge advertising fees, Phoenix TV station has once again made a huge profit from the rebroadcast, and the people who said the strange words disappeared immediately.

However, there is not the slightest report on this in Taiwan. Perhaps it is because Phoenix TV has been included in the list of leftist tendencies by the Taiwan Information Bureau.

…

In contrast to the jubilation on the other side of the Phoenix Channel, Fang Yihua is often nervous and loses his temper.

In fact, in terms of overall ratings, Phoenix TV is still slightly inferior to TVB, and the ratio of the two ratings is 4.6 to 5.4.

Because it is broadcast once a week, while TVB is broadcast on six days a week, the overall advantage in ratings is still dominated by wireless stations.

What makes Fang Yihua anxious is that due to the popularity of TVB variety shows, some loyal viewers of TVB variety shows are gradually losing to Phoenix TV.

In the office of TVB's Variety Show Production Department, Fang Yihua patted the table and shouted, "I want new shows, new shows that can be beat, find a way for me right away!"

All the TV station employees looked at each other in dismay, and no one spoke. Who can guarantee that the new program planned by him can surpass it?
