Chapter 163 Negotiation Again
The prerequisite is that the top management is willing to replace the previous program.
The program preceding "Mu Guiying" was an important prime-time program that had never been suspended or rebroadcast. Replacing this program would require a lot of negotiation and coordination.
But Hu Xiaoxiao didn't have much time left. It was already afternoon and only a few hours left until evening, so there was no time to deal with it.
I am even more worried that someone with ulterior motives will come out to block my way while I am going through the process.
Lu Sheng understood Hu Xiaoxiao's intention immediately. He was a man of great determination, and after only a second's consideration, he made his decision. "Send the cameraman back to edit the video right away."
Hu Xiaoxiao was delighted. It was a relief to work with a boss who was so decisive. "What if Qiu Lihua or someone else refuses to change the program?"
Lu Sheng's words were full of meaning: "I'm going to tell Ji Sheng the good news right now. I think Ji Sheng would also like to know how we can help him regain all his face."
A smart person can understand things at once.
After Hu Xiaoxiao finished this important matter, he squeezed back onto the stage.
When others were squeezed so hard that they could hardly stand, she could come and go freely.
Then, Hu Xiaoxiao brought the cameraman and the camera out, sent them to the company's car, and asked the cameraman to go back to the company to edit the film.
After finishing these things, Hu Xiaoxiao returned to the stage again. At this time, Baozhutai didn't want to continue the competition. It would be even more embarrassing, so he simply packed up and left.
Hu Xiaoxiao saw that the Baozhu TV cameramen and reporters had also left. Since "Martial Spirit" had lost the competition, Baozhu TV would definitely not broadcast the ring match. Thus, this ring match jointly held by the two TV stations became a sole winner for Baogang TV.
This was originally a big gamble, a winner-takes-all game.
Seeing that the audience was still reluctant to leave, Hu Xiaoxiao went to discuss with the host, played some interactive games with the audience, and gave the audience the spears and helmets used by the Yang Family Generals.
After a busy period, it was already three o'clock in the afternoon when the show ended.
The most tired person in the room was Mingxu. He just wanted to eat a big meal to replenish his lost energy. "Xiaoxiao, let's go eat chicken!"
"Are we going to the restaurant we often eat at?" Hu Xiaoxiao asked.
"Yes, that one."
Hu Xiaoxiao simply brought everyone together and treated them to a meal to celebrate today's victory.
The success of a drama depends on the strength of the entire team, and no one should be left behind during the celebration. Hu Xiaoxiao even called Yao Wenlong and asked them to join the dinner.
After the dinner, Hu Xiaoxiao even packed a copy for the cameraman who was doing the expedited editing.
On the other side, after Lu Shengkang finished calling Ji Sheng, he felt very proud. He immediately rushed to the TV station to schedule the competition for today.
With Ji Sheng's approval, the program was given the green light all the way. First, a program with low ratings in the evening was cancelled, and then the subsequent programs were brought forward to make time for the competition.
After yesterday’s publicity spree by the two TV stations, almost all Hong Kong citizens knew that the two crews were competing against each other on behalf of the two TV stations. Only a very small number of citizens were able to watch it live, and most citizens were waiting for tomorrow’s newspapers.
At this moment, Baogang Channel suddenly announced that it would broadcast a boxing match in the evening. Just as Hu Xiaoxiao had expected, all the citizens in front of the TV were curious about the details of the match.
So, that night, the ratings of Treasure Channel reached an astonishing height, and almost everyone was watching the boxing match.
After the competition, the next show to be broadcast was "Mu Guiying". Citizens naturally continued to watch "Mu Guiying". Even those who had not wanted to watch "Mu Guiying" before were curious to see what kind of TV series it was.
After watching it, I found that "Mu Guiying" is more well-made and the actors are more pleasing to the eye. In addition to the fighting and killing, there is also a warm family side, which is suitable for the whole family to watch.
As for "Martial Spirit"? Fans of the show's martial arts action scenes found the action in "Mu Guiying" equally impressive, even more captivating with its one-shot sequences and artistic aesthetics never before seen in television. Furthermore, the show's loss in the boxing match dampened the audience's enthusiasm, leading them to simply turn a blind eye.
The ratings of "Mu Guiying" surpassed "Martial Spirit" overnight. When the senior management of Baozhu TV saw the data, they were furious and put the male lead Feng Zidong on ice.
It just so happened that Feng Zidong's contract had expired, so in order to make a living, he simply went into the film industry.
This was an era of rising martial arts stars, and the two hottest genres in the film industry at the time were action films and comedies. Feng Zidong, by some measure, had a blessing in disguise. Entering the industry early, coupled with his kung fu background, helped him capitalize on this opportunity. Within a few years, he was thriving in the film industry, raking in a fortune. Later, he met Hu Xiaoxiao and treated him to a feast.
The exquisite production of "Mu Guiying" and the widespread news of the boxing match even reached areas far from Baogang. As more and more people came to learn about "Mu Guiying" out of curiosity, some regions began to send representatives to Baogang to negotiate with Baogang Taiwan about introducing the TV series "Mu Guiying".
"Mu Guiying" was not only popular in Treasure Island and Hong Kong, but also in other regions. The money earned made all the directors of Treasure Island and Hong Kong Television very happy.
Hu Xiaoxiao also took this opportunity to negotiate with the TV station again and change her contract to a more flexible one. For example, the mandatory 60 episodes per year were removed, and if the company didn't have a script that satisfied her, she could choose not to film.
In other words, she gained true freedom.
Of course, before becoming a free agent, he also agreed to the company's proposal to shoot a sequel to "Mu Guiying" - "Mu Guiying Takes Command".
At the TVB Anniversary Awards Ceremony that year, Hu Xiaoxiao won her first Best Actress award in her life.
Hu Xiaoxiao was filled with emotion after receiving this award. She had originally thought of not participating this year, but unexpectedly "Mu Guiying" was forced to be broadcast early and finished broadcasting early, just in time for it. She became the first person in the history of Baogang TV to win the Best Actress Award at the fastest speed, and also the youngest Best Actress in the history of Baogang TV.
This year was a fruitful year, and the company held a grand celebration dinner, which Ji Sheng, the chairman of the board, attended.
Hu Xiaoxiao was wearing a black evening gown and holding a glass of red wine. When Ji Sheng passed by, he toasted him and said, "Ji Sheng, you look good. You've been very lucky lately."
When Ji Sheng saw Hu Xiaoxiao, he stopped and said with a smile: "Thank you very much, thank you very much, you seductive girl, you have been doing well recently."
Bewitching means cunning.
Obviously, Ji Sheng reminded Hu Xiaoxiao that he already knew about her tricks and her taking advantage of the situation in the guild hall last time.
After being exposed, Hu Xiaoxiao didn't feel embarrassed at all. Instead, he smiled openly and said, "Mr. Ji, just tell me, are you satisfied with this year's financial report?"
