While accompanying Jiang Yu, he also helped make suggestions in the entertainment company.
After watching Miss Qin Ju's Dirty Dancing, Su Yehao also called in the company's executives to discuss how to create an outdoor reality show.
All the ideas are ready-made. The senior officials only need to be responsible for realizing what Su Yehao has repeatedly told, such as tearing off famous brands and various punishments and challenges to trick others. It is not difficult to achieve them.
After a lot of back and forth, even the alternate resident host was selected.
Among the candidates recommended by the executives, there are Zhang Weijian who starred in the 1996 version of TVB's "Journey to the West", Xu Jiangjing who has played Leopard Head and Obei, and Chen Baixiang, who is particularly favored by Su Yehao for the supporting role of Xing Yehao. When the time comes, the two will be paired together.
A contracted artist of Tianyu Entertainment, the number of permanent guests is tentatively scheduled to be five to six.
In addition, we will find two or three guest guests in each episode. There is no shortage of actors in Hong Kong City. If this program can really be created, I believe that with Su Yehao’s influence, it will not be a problem to find the king and goddess to come to support us.
After discussing a specific framework first.
At this moment, the company's creative director was in the conference room, raised his hand to speak, and asked Su Yehao:
"It shouldn't be too difficult to film a variety show like this, but once the show is filmed, which TV station will it be broadcast on?"
"I made a rough estimate. If the cost of hiring a host and guests is not high, and they work one day a week, the total cost will be around 100,000. Taking into account venue, photography, editing, etc., the total production cost will be 200,000 to 300,000.
We often have to go to other places to shoot, which means we need to sell each episode at a higher price."
"Fifty-two weeks a year, all put together, it's very expensive. I'm afraid it's not worth it for the TV station..."
Su Yehao was stunned when he heard this.
He only thought about killing time by himself and did not consider where to play or generate income.
With a total of six to seven million people in the port city, the market size is too small, which means we have to find ways to keep costs down.
The investment of some movies is as small as several million, and the total production cycle is only about half a month. The cost of TV series is not high. For example, Zhang Weijian's version of "Journey to the West" just mentioned, with a total investment of about 10 million Hong Kong dollars, is already a
A rare large-scale production.
The restrictions on market size have indeed affected the scale of Hong Kong City’s entertainment industry.
This point made Su Yehao think of South Korea in the future.
They are also limited by the small local market, so they have to expand externally wildly. Otherwise, it would be strange to rely solely on the three melons and two dates brought by the local market to become a success.
The reason why Hollywood stars can earn tens of millions of dollars in salary is not because the United States itself has the largest movie-going market in the world, and it also treats the global market as its back garden, forming a virtuous cycle.
After thinking about it for a while, Su Yehao knocked on the table and told:
"Be careful during the production. When the dubbing is sold to the mainland, Taiwan, Japan, South Korea and Southeast Asia, there may be TV stations willing to give it a try. As for Hong Kong City, wait for the sample to be shot, then contact TVB, or...
…Actually, I have thought about directly acquiring a TV station.”
"..."
"..."
The last sentence about acquiring a TV station simply shocked everyone present.
What does it mean to be rich and powerful, and what does it mean to be simple and direct? When I just mentioned that it might be difficult to sell variety shows to TV stations at a high price, Su Yehao actually focused directly on the TV station itself.
Jiang Yu was deeply surprised and hurriedly said:
"Are you going to be so exaggerated? Our company hasn't made any achievements yet, and you're starting to think about acquiring a TV station? You can't make a fat man by eating one bite. I heard that the TV station has suffered serious losses recently."
Among the people in the conference room, Jiang Yu was the only one who dared to speak to Su Yehao in this tone.
The previous creative director finished organizing the language and told:
"TVB is in a bit of a difficult situation right now. The "Huan Zhu Ge Ge" they invested in is particularly popular, but the TV series produced by their company are constantly losing money, so this time they are planning to spend 150 million to shoot a blockbuster called "Genesis".
If it fails, the stock price will definitely plummet, but TVB is TVB after all, and its total market value seems to be more than 20 billion Hong Kong dollars."
beside.
A former ATV executive said:
"It is worth more than 20 billion Hong Kong dollars, but now young people like game consoles and computers, and profits are declining. As far as I know, TVB is planning to sell some of its copyright inventory of old movies and TV series. It is probably because it is worried that this year's performance will be too high.
Ugly.”
"Also, Mr. Su, if you want to buy a TV station, I would rather recommend ATV. Their news programs are very good, but their own production is a little bit poor. It just complements our company. I recently bought it from Japan and Baodao.
The broadcast rights of the TV series "Huan Zhu Ge Ge" made them a lot of money at the beginning, but now they only buy the benefits without filming, forcing their own actors and directors to change jobs. It was also because of this that I ran away. Last year
In June, the two groups Longwei and Lianwang joined forces to purchase 51% of ATV's shares for HK$700 million. They are investment businessmen. As long as you are willing to spend the money, young master, you can definitely win it..."
Let's brainstorm ideas and share your opinions with each other.
Some people recommend ATV, while others recommend Hong Kong Satellite TV Company. The latter was acquired by the American News Corporation a few years ago. Its current development situation is not good. It mainly promotes international programs and covers the Asia-Pacific region through satellite signals.
Given the strength of News Corporation, even if Su Yehao is willing to buy it, the other party may not be willing to sell it. Moreover, its situation is not suitable.
It seems that only ATV is more suitable for demand. The total market value is currently only more than 1.32 billion Hong Kong dollars, and even a partial premium is not much.
At least compared with Su Yehao's other recent projects, it can be considered a medium-sized project at most.
This caused Su Yehao to start to be a little cautious after listening to the conversation, and immediately after the meeting was over, he asked someone to conduct a comprehensive investigation on ATV.
He just transferred 3 billion Hong Kong dollars to his father. After repaying more than 400 million US dollars in bank loans, he still has more than 10 billion US dollars in cash on hand, and there are more than 1 billion US dollars in financial accounts that have not yet been cashed out.
With the capital flow so abundant, it is not a big problem to spend more than ten or two billion Hong Kong dollars. Although the budget of the City of Thousand Cores project is high, the development cycle is more than ten years, and the scale of money burning in the short term is limited.
Seeing that Su Yehao was so supportive of the development of Tianyu Entertainment, Jiang Yu felt overwhelmed and under great pressure.
After returning to the office, she sighed and said:
"It feels very strange. It's like I originally just wanted to buy a bicycle, but you were there to fan the flames. In the end, I wanted to buy a tank."
"...It's not easy to explain to you, but just trust me. For a family like ours, if we want a bicycle, wouldn't it be better to just buy a tank?"
Su Yehao smiled and then explained:
"Besides, from the perspective of expanding influence, a TV station will probably not lose. For example, with the draft I am preparing recently, if a TV station has it, whoever dares to oppose it can kill it. This also involves my experience on the Internet.
For our long-term development, we now need to accumulate more film and television copyright inventory. In the future, we will have the opportunity to create an Asia-Pacific version of the film and television entertainment platform, which can not only counter cultural invasion, but also take advantage of the long-tail effect of the Internet and enjoy continuous dividends through copyright inventory."
Jiang Yu's focus was immediately shifted. She stared and asked:
"It's not easy to explain. Do you think I'm stupid? What is the long tail effect? I'm not in the Internet business, so it's strange to know about it. When I was in high school, my grades were much higher than yours."
