In the battle for ratings, every possible means will be used. Swimsuit beauties are always a ratings guarantee. Moreover, Mona Fong is known for her ruthless and decisive approach, knowing how to maximize the resources available.
Five-time Miss Hong Kong champions gathered together, and the swimsuits returned? This was indeed an instant hit, quickly drawing back many attention that had been lost to cartoons, especially those fathers whose remote controls had been snatched away by their children.
But this just exposes TVB's panic and passivity at the moment.
Sir Run Run Shaw believed that ATV's animation program wouldn't last long. Mona Fong, though quicker to react, attempted to strike back with TVB's signature "star-making" and "showcase" model. Neither of them realized...
In other words, they are unwilling to think deeply about the true subversive nature of the ATV model.
Tonight at eight o'clock!
ATV’s flagship program “Focus Interview” premieres!
This is Xiaolinsheng's real back-up plan! After a successful start, he immediately launched a 'self-made program'. What a tricky timing!
While MacLehose was talking, he was analyzing in his mind. As a bystander, he pieced together the entire process of Kobayashi Tenwang's operation and layout.
The more I think about it, the more I realize how brilliant Kobayashi Tenwang is.
Looking at the program preview in the Asia Times, MacLehose became even more curious and interested in Asia Television's self-produced program Focus Interview.
While listening, Deng Liping followed her husband's gaze. The four words "Stay tuned" on the newspaper seemed particularly weighty at this moment.
"Focus? It sounds like a serious news program... and it airs after a cartoon? This combination is..."
"That's the brilliance! First, they use cartoons to attract users and break TVB's ratings barrier. Then, they immediately launch their own branded 'blockbuster' shows, announcing to advertisers and Hong Kong audiences: Asia Television is more than just cartoons!
It has the ability to independently produce original content and has the ambition to compete for higher-value advertising space!
TVB is going to fight back with its signature Miss Hong Kong swimsuit show? It will only make them look like they are running around in other people's shoes, and their overall layout will be inferior.
Tonight will be a virtual showdown. TVB's swimsuit beauty pageant versus ATV's own "Focus Interview." On one side is the sensory stimulation of song and dance, on the other side is a serious voice confronting social issues. The winner may be judged immediately.
After listening to her husband's thorough analysis, Deng Liping's face lit up with anticipation. "So... you think Xiaolin Tianwang has a good chance of winning again?"
"Whether they win or lose is uncertain, but the trend is clear. With a brand-new model driven by 'content' rather than 'stars', ATV is dismantling the barriers TVB has built over decades.
TVB's foundation is still strong, but Xiao Linsheng chose a path where their defense is weakest and they even disdain to defend it.
"Five hundred thousand is just the starting point. If 'Focus Interview' can maintain the momentum of last night... Sir Run Run Shaw will no longer face the embarrassment of 'adults losing to children over the remote control,' but a massive crisis that could shake the entire viewing model. This 'Dragon from Japan' seems no novice in the field of television."
This time, Hong Kong Governor Murray MacLehose saw more clearly the strength of this young man from Kobayashi Tianwang's series of layouts and moves.
In particular, since Kobayashi Tenwang was able to be so secretive and well-planned in his acquisition of ATV.
This made MacLehose doubt that Xiaolin Tianwang's acquisition of Hong Kong Hong Kong was by no means a coincidence. His scheme was so deep and powerful that he could actually force Shen Bi to coerce Newbie and put such a big cake as Hong Kong Hong Kong right in front of his mouth and beg him to eat it.
It’s amazing. It’s really amazing.
MacLehose could not help but elevate Kobayashi Tianwang to one of the most dangerous figures in Hong Kong Island.
At the same time, in every corner of Hong Kong Island.
TVB's emergency notice spread like wildfire: "Tonight's prime time! Five former Miss Hong Kong champions will compete on the same stage! Swimsuits will reappear, competing for the title of 'the most beautiful Miss Hong Kong'!" This visually tempting notice instantly sparked heated discussions in tea restaurants, offices, and streets, attracting the attention of many adult male viewers.
"Wow! Look at the swimsuits! Are Rebecca Chu and previous Miss Hong Kong winners returning? I have to watch TVB tonight!"
"Five-time champion? That's worth the price of admission! That ATV interview? Can it be prettier than that girl?"
"You can't say that! That cartoon show 'Pokémon' was so good last night! My son had a blast watching it, and I watched it too.
ATV previewed tonight's "Focus Interview," saying it's a self-produced blockbuster show that will reveal the truth about people's livelihoods? It's quite attractive.
"There's something interesting on both channels! What should I do? The kids are definitely going to grab the remote to watch cartoons, and my wife wants to watch Miss Hong Kong. So I'll just... switch between the two channels!"
"How dare the Asia Daily speak so threateningly? 'Facing the Truth,' is this real or fake?"
The chaotic discussions were full of anticipation and entanglement, and many families were caught in sweet troubles for tonight's choices.
This is Xinhua News Agency’s Hong Kong branch.
President Liang Weilin was in high spirits, holding a briefing on ATV's ratings. He smiled and said to Guo Linxian who had walked in, "Comrade Linxian, this is incredible! Your precious daughter achieved a 40% ratings increase last night with just one move! She caught TVB completely off guard. ATV's reforms have been going strong for only two days, and General Manager Liu's skills are truly remarkable!"
Guo Linxian smiled politely and said modestly, "President Liang, you're too kind. She was really pushed into doing something she couldn't do. Xiao Linsheng dared to let her do it, so she was under a lot of pressure. She had dark circles under her eyes when she left this morning."
