It wasn't just Shanghai TV and Hunan TV that were paying attention to the ratings of "Twin Dragons of the Tang Dynasty." Many TV stations across the country also focused their attention on this TV series. Thanks to Fang Yang's brilliant maneuvering, the TV series became famous, and industry insiders naturally wouldn't let it go.

Guangzhou, as a major economic province in China, excels in many other aspects, but its television station is extremely disappointing. Perhaps due to the influence of Hong Kong, or perhaps due to language barriers, it mainly imports films from Hong Kong and has become a niche market.

In recent years, Hong Kong's film and television industry has gradually declined, and Guangzhou has also been deeply affected. As the source of martial arts dramas, Hong Kong has not produced many excellent TV series for several years, which naturally makes Guangzhou TV extremely worried.

Guangzhou TV began paying attention to Fang Yang when he started filming "Twin Dragons of the Tang Dynasty". However, since Fang Yang was a newcomer, Guangzhou TV did not send anyone to contact him. They wanted to wait until the TV series was released to see how it would perform.

As soon as "Twin Dragons of the Tang Dynasty" was released, Zhang Xinyang, the director of Guangzhou TV, switched the channel to Shanghai TV. After a familiar opening theme, the scene cut to Kou Zhong and Xu Ziling on the streets of Yangzhou.

The visuals were exquisite, and Zhang Xinyang made his judgment immediately. As the camera moved forward, the fast-paced plot also greatly interested Zhang Xinyang.

Both lead actors are newcomers, at least in Zhang Xinyang's eyes, but their acting is decent. They didn't overdo the polishing; instead, their performances were natural. Yes, they acted very naturally.

This is very important. Compared to the mainland, TV dramas in Hong Kong are much more mature, and the actors' acting skills are much better than those in the mainland. This makes the audience in Guangzhou more discerning.

The first episode was filmed in the film studio, so there weren't many eye-catching sights. Zhang Xinyang wasn't worried about that. He heard that the later episodes were filmed in the Thousand-Foot Valley. Although he hadn't been there, it didn't mean that Zhang Xinyang wouldn't look into it online. He just wanted to see how the filming went.

Overall, I'm quite satisfied with the first episode. Zhang Xinyang has the idea of ​​cooperation, but it's the first day of the Lunar New Year now, so let's wait until after the New Year to talk about it. Besides, by then I'll have watched more than ten episodes and will have more authority to comment.

Time and space change, and Wei Ming, the director of Qilu TV, also watched the first episode at home. As the last-ranked of the five major TV stations, Qilu TV also has the ambition to move forward, but unfortunately, things have always fallen short of expectations.

When "Calabash Brothers" was first released, Wei Ming strongly advocated for its import. Unfortunately, some leaders in the station hesitated and were overly cautious. In the end, Shanghai TV Station beat them to the punch and snatched the lead. Wei Ming could only get a small share of the profits, which made him very angry!

In the following series, Shandong TV followed suit, always trailing behind Shanghai TV. Especially with "Twin Dragons of the Tang Dynasty," Shanghai TV actually got involved in the filming. Ouyang Ming's vision was truly unique, and his methods were also powerful. He poured 20 million yuan into it without batting an eye, leaving Wei Ming helpless. "Being close to the water tower, one gets the moon first" is an apt saying!

Fortunately, I heard that Ouyang Ming was promoted and left before the new year. With a new emperor comes a new court. Seeing the change of leadership at Shanghai TV, Wei Ming felt a glimmer of hope. Maybe Shandong TV could also deepen their cooperation.

Picking up the phone, Wei Ming disregarded the fact that it was the first day of the Lunar New Year and dialed Yang Huajin directly. After two rings, the other end answered, "Mr. Yang, this is Wei Ming, the director of Qilu TV Station. Happy New Year! Congratulations on your company producing another great TV series and making a fortune!"

"Director Wei, Happy New Year! No wonder the magpies in my yard have been chirping nonstop all day. It turns out it was Director Wei calling! Haha!"

"Mr. Yang, when do you start work? Our TV station can come and learn from your experience. Oh dear, the TV station isn't doing well right now, and I, as the station manager, feel guilty. It's the beginning of the new year, so I'd like to visit you and strengthen our relationship."

"Master Wei, you're too kind. It should be us visiting you. Xiao Yang is a bit busy, and we start work on the eighth day of the new year. I'll lead a team to your place for some training then. What do you think?"

"Oh? Mr. Fang, you're so busy right at the start of the new year? It's alright, it's alright. Let's go to your place instead. These guys at our station are all high and mighty. They should be sent out to learn a thing or two, so they don't just sit at home with their heads down and look down on everyone! By the way, Mr. Fang, you're so busy right at the start of the new year. Is there a new project?"

"No, no, it's just that the company recently acquired a new cinema chain. Xiao Yang still needs to do some research. He should be back around the eighth day of the Lunar New Year, then stay home for a couple of days before going out to investigate again."

"Oh, Mr. Yang, congratulations on your company's rapid growth! Mr. Fang is truly a young and promising talent. Could you please introduce me to such an outstanding individual? Please confirm a date so we can visit your company then."

"Director Wei, you've gone too far. Xiao Yang has gone to his hometown for the New Year. I'll contact him tomorrow morning and give you a definite answer. What do you think?"

"Okay, then we'll have to trouble you, Mr. Yang."

After hanging up the phone, Wei Ming fell into deep thought, considering how to negotiate with Fang Yang to see if he could obtain the premiere rights to the next TV series, even if it was just a joint premiere.

Su Shanpeng, the director of Blueberry TV, had just finished watching the first episode. As the director of the TV station who was on the front line of propaganda, Su Shanpeng naturally knew about Ouyang Ming's transfer to Xihu City, and he also personally directed a series of news interviews.

Su Shanpeng was naturally aware of the changes that had taken place at Shanghai TV station a few months before the Lunar New Year. As a direct competitor, he had been watching his rival's every move and was eager to poach its staff. However, the rival had many inherent advantages in the local area, leaving Su Shanpeng feeling helpless.

Now that Ouyang Ming has been transferred to Xihu City, the same city as Blueberry TV, and they share the same expectations, Su Shanpeng is planning to find an opportunity to report on his work, get closer to Ouyang Ming, and then connect with Fang Yang through Ouyang Ming. All problems will be easy to solve, and he can also show his face in front of the leaders. It's killing two birds with one stone!

After watching the first episode of "Twin Dragons of the Tang Dynasty", Su Shanpeng had a direct impression of Fang Yang's directing ability. He was a talented person, and the TV series he directed had the potential to become a big hit. It was worthwhile for Blueberry TV to make a big effort to win him over.

All that remains to be seen is tomorrow's ratings ranking on CTV. Su Shanpeng has the idea of ​​importing this TV series, even if it's just a second run, it could still garner a wave of viewership.

Blueberry TV has a high viewer loyalty, and Su Shanpeng has high expectations even for a second run. However, he still needs to discuss the specifics with other leaders in the station. Su Shanpeng is confident that he can persuade the other leaders. This is just the first step in cooperating with Fang Yang, and perhaps one day there will be further cooperation.

Knowing the sales figures of Fang Yang's album, Su Shanpeng originally wanted to invite Fang Yang to participate in the Spring Festival Gala, but he was rejected. Later, he learned that Fang Yang had rejected invitations from all TV stations, and the slight estrangement he had felt earlier disappeared. As long as it wasn't specifically targeting Blueberry TV, there was nothing to worry about!

Su Shanpeng was so preoccupied with his plans that he didn't even notice the start of the second episode. Perhaps he should contact Yang Huajin tomorrow to see when he could meet with Fang Yang. It's always good to be prepared.
