Hong Kong variety show: An undercover agent from Infernal Affairs? I'm not human anymore!

Li Huanggua smiled and said, "Okay."

Both Li Huanggua and his two sons are full of confidence in "Baijia Supermarket".

……

……

That night,

The news was rehashed again to further reinforce the public's impression of the "New Era Supermarket".

Then, ATV News devoted 10 minutes of its news time to advertising "Meteor Garden (Supermarket Version)," mentioning that it was New Era Film Company's first major TV drama production, its grand premiere tonight during prime time, the love stories of four rich second-generation handsome men and Cinderella, and revealing inside details of "New Era Supermarket"...

Citizen: "…………"

I was completely speechless!

"What the hell! This is a news broadcast, and you're showing commercials instead?"

"No, Mr. Ma's film company, every movie is a commercial. So it seems quite reasonable for TV news to become commercial news..."

"Reasonable my foot! This is outrageous!"

"Needless to say, airing 'Meteor Garden' at this time is definitely going to be a major advertising campaign!"

"Is that even a question? Absolutely!"

"Damn, why am I actually looking forward to this kind of blockbuster ad?"

"I'm kind of looking forward to it too, damn it!"

"Mr. Ma's stuff is always addictive, making it impossible to stop!"

Countless citizens across Hong Kong who watched the news were speechless with frustration.

Despite the complaints, I still subconsciously want to watch the prime-time drama "Meteor Garden" when it premieres.

……

Before we knew it, it was 19:30 PM, and "Meteor Garden" premiered.

In the original version, F4 and Shan Cai were all students on campus.

In this version, after Ma Zhichao's radical changes, F4 and Shan Cai are all college graduates from the same university. F4 are the sons of the major shareholders of "New Era Supermarket," while Shan Cai works as a waitress at "New Era Supermarket" while studying.

Most of the scenes take place in the "New Era Supermarket".

The cast consisted of young, handsome men—Louis Koo, Daniel Wu, and others—all incredibly good-looking. The female lead, Shan Cai, was played by Michelle Reis, a representative of the new generation of beautiful actresses at the time. It was a cast of handsome men and beautiful women.

At this time, most citizens in Hong Kong switched to ATV.

After all, we have to give Officer Ma face!

Well, the citizens are mainly curious about how this advertisement will turn out, since New Era Film Company's products are all entertaining with a satirical style!

this moment,

The first episode of "Meteor Garden" has aired.

ATV achieved a 78% viewership rating, while TVB's rating was lowered to 32%.

The TV series started with Shan Cai's appearance, showing her various impoverished circumstances.

quickly,

The citizens were hit hard by the TV series.

F4 is here!

The F4 members didn't show up, but the students had already subtly mentioned them to Shan Cai:

"These four are all from wealthy families, and they're all tall, rich, and handsome..."

You know "New Era Supermarket," right?

"I know. 'New Era Supermarket' is a much stronger supermarket than 'Baijia Supermarket,' and it's almost driven 'Baijia Supermarket' into bankruptcy."

"Even Li, the richest man in China, lost his title because of the emergence of 'New Era Supermarket'..."

"The elders of these F4 members are even more powerful than Li Ka-shing. Don't you think F4 is amazing?"

Have you ever been to "New Era Supermarket"? Do you know why it beat out "hundreds of supermarkets"?

"I know, because the service at 'New Era Supermarket' is amazing; they really treat customers like royalty... blah blah blah~~~"

Then the camera switched to show the high-end decoration and new, beautiful environment of the "New Era Supermarket".

Hong Kong Island residents and viewers: "………………"

Unable to complain!

really!

As soon as the TV program started, commercials flooded the screen!

Typical Ma style!

Chapter 210 Li Huanggua's stock price plummets!

2 hours later,

I've finished watching "Meteor Garden".

The entire population of Hong Kong was in a daze.

The plot is very simple: the female lead, Shan Cai, enters the school, offends Dao Ming Si, is bullied, and then Ze Lei comes to her rescue.

but!

After watching two episodes, what the people of Hong Kong were thinking about wasn't the plot, but rather:

"New Era Supermarket: Hong Kong's Shopping Paradise..."

"The 'Hundred Supermarkets' model is outdated; the 'New Era Supermarket' is the future of supermarkets..."

"Baijia Supermarket has been defeated, Li Ka-shing has fallen from grace and withdrawn from the ranks of the four major families..."

"The 'New Era Supermarket's' customer service philosophy: No counterfeit goods sold, no-questions-asked returns, price difference compensation, portable baby rockers, and home delivery of out-of-stock items..."

My head was completely filled with these things.

This ad is just too addictive!

Bombing!

My head is spinning!

I watched the TV show and forgot the plot, but the advertisement was deeply ingrained in my mind, like I was possessed.

And those lines: "What Hundred Schools of Thought? They're all outdated!" "If you're going to shop, shop at the New Era Supermarket!" were repeated almost 12 times in 2 episodes.

It's like brainwashing!

Of course, we can't forget the super-rich second-generation heirs F4, who drink New Era Coca-Cola every day, it's just too much to bear.

After watching the TV series, countless citizens complained: "Damn, it's so addictive!"

I'm complaining about it, but I still want to watch it.

Magical power!

……

In the following days, "Meteor Garden" became a hit throughout Hong Kong.

Two types of people,

One type is those who criticize TV dramas, yet become addicted to watching them while doing so.

One group consists of young people, especially girls.

I don't have a strong feeling about advertisements, but I'm really obsessed with the F4's good looks and genius persona.

"Ahhh~~ So handsome!"

The fact that "Meteor Garden" was able to become a hit in China, Japan, South Korea, and Southeast Asia in Ma Zhichao's previous life, and remained popular for more than a decade, naturally has its reasons.

The combination of domineering CEOs, Cinderella, genius hunks, beauties... creates a wonderful chemical reaction.

then,

The viewership rating climbed steadily from 78% to 96%...

Even when it was rebroadcast the following morning and again in the afternoon, the viewership rating still reached over 50%.

TVB was brutally suppressed!

……

With the popularity of the TV series "Meteor Garden", "New Era Supermarket" has been frequently mentioned and deeply remembered by all Hong Kong citizens.

In particular, the "New Era Supermarket's" claims of "god-like services" and "this is not just retail, but service" have piqued the curiosity of the entire Hong Kong public.

I really want to go and experience the "New Era Supermarket".

……

Li Huanggua's side.

He initially paid no attention to the "New Era Supermarket" promotion that was going on all over Hong Kong at the time.

However, after careful research, it was found that if "New Era Supermarket" can really provide that kind of exceptional service, then it will indeed be a formidable competitor to Baijia Supermarket!

He then became very vigilant and directly convened a meeting with the elites from various departments of the hundred supermarkets to discuss the matter.

As a result, each department was forced to watch "Meteor Garden" again.

Then the next day,

Major newspapers reported that "Li Daheng felt a great sense of crisis and watched 'Meteor Garden' all night, saying it was a good show!"

All Hong Kong citizens: "…………"

Li Daheng and his executives: "…………"

Damn it, this guy surnamed Ma's actions are so damn flashy!
