When it comes to TV stations in Hong Kong, it is destined to be impossible to avoid the three big mountains of Wireless, Lidian, and Jiayi.
Needless to say, Wireless and Li.
Although Jiayi TV was established later, its reputation is not inferior to the other two "predecessors".
In the original timeline, Jiayi TV was the third free commercial radio station in Hong Kong. Its most famous work was the production of the first Jin Yong TV series "Legend of the Condor Heroes".
After this TV series was broadcast, it caused a sensation throughout Hong Kong.
Then Jiayi successively filmed works such as "The Legend of the Condor Heroes", "Blue Blood Sword", "Snowy Mountain Flying Fox", etc., which made it famous.
Launch a charge.
The famous July Offensive was launched during this time.
In addition, Jiayi TV attaches great importance to discovering and cultivating talents. Well-known actors such as Michelle, Wei Qiuhua, Luo Lelin, Li Tongming, Zheng Yuling, Yang Panpan, Hong Kong sister Zhang Mary, and Qin Huang were all artists under Jiayi TV at that time.<
/p>
Unfortunately, the life of Jiayi TV Station was very short, and it came to an end in just three years.
The reason is that one of the original licensing conditions of Jiayi TV was to use 2 pm to 6 pm and 9 pm to 11:30 pm to broadcast educational programs.
At that time, Mr. He Zuozhihe, the founder of Jiayi, gritted his teeth and agreed in order to win the right to operate the radio station.
But he still underestimated the impact of educational programs on the company.
These programs were not popular with the audience, and the ratings were extremely low, which led to a sharp drop in advertising revenue. In the end, Jiayi TV was forced to shut down due to revenue imbalance.
.......
Cao Weidong recalled the history of Jiayi TV.
Of course.
In this generation, Jiayi TV Station’s hope of breaking out of the industry by filming Mr. Jin’s martial arts novels is doomed to fail.
Because Cao Weidong has signed a letter of authorization with Mr. Jin and bought the exclusive copyright for the film and television adaptation of all Mr. Jin's works, it will be impossible for other TV stations to film Mr. Jin's martial arts novels for at least the next five years.
But this does not mean that Jiayi has no use except for gold-type TV series.
Quite the opposite.
Good intentions are still valuable.
In addition to the commercial value of the TV station itself, Jiayi also has a large number of high-quality film and television production and acting talents, making it a very high-quality company.
This is also the reason why Cao Weidong really covets Jiayi.
In fact, speaking of it, Cao Weidong has also tried to recruit people in advance, such as operational talents such as Zhou Liang Shuyi and Liu Tianci, as well as high-quality artists such as Michelle Xue and Wei Qiuhua.
However, at this time, Shuyi Zhou and Liu Tianci were still working well at TVB and did not pay attention to the olive branch offered by Cao Weidong.
Michelle and Wei Qiuhua were also in the honeymoon period with their respective companies, and they clearly rejected Cao Weidong.
Cao Weidong tried several times in succession, but finally gave up helplessly.
I can only sigh.
The torrent of history is unstoppable.
You shouldn’t get what you are getting now, you still won’t get it after all.
However, a chat with his father-in-law today reminded him of Jiayi TV Station, and his heart was ready to move again.
.......
After leaving Lou Bancheng to Huang Xizhao's arrangement, Cao Weidong went to Kowloon without stopping, asked a friend for help, and talked to an intermediary, hoping to entertain Mr. He Zuozhihe at a banquet.
The middleman patted his chest and promised that He Zuozhi would definitely be invited over.
Cao Weidong was so happy that he found a famous local restaurant and planned to entertain He Zuozhi here.
Speaking of which, He Zuozhi is also a legendary business tycoon in Hong Kong.
He is the illegitimate son of the famous gentleman and businessman Ho Tung.
He studied at King's College in Hong Kong when he was young, and later went to the United States to study at the University of California, Berkeley.
After completing her studies, He Zuozhi returned to Hong Kong and worked in a company owned by her father.
He Zuozhi has a great business acumen. Because he couldn't stand the routine life, he boldly started a business.
He Zuozhi first established Zod Company in a joint venture with Shanghai-based wealthy businessman Miao Weide.
Agent for foreign wine, cameras, household appliances, etc.
Business is booming.
Then Ho Siu Chi lobbied the Macau business community, Sir Robert Luo, to jointly establish Macau Green Village Radio Station, and to jointly establish a commercial radio station with members of the Hong Kong City Administration Council.
In 1975, He Zuozhi once again turned his attention to the television industry and founded Jiayi TV Station.
Judging from He Zuozhi's past business style, he is a businessman who is good at risk control.
I have a high probability of persuading He Zuozhi to run Jiayi TV Station together.
Cao Weidong sat beside the banquet, thinking about how to speak to persuade He Zuozhi later.
It's just that he saw no one on the left, and still no one on the right. Just when he was muttering in his heart, the man in the middle ran over in a panic.
"Mr. Cao, Mr. He is ill and has been sent to the hospital by his family for treatment. He probably won't be able to see you today."
Cao Weidong was also shocked.
"Is it serious?"
The middleman smiled bitterly.
"It shouldn't be serious. Maybe the fruit I ate in the afternoon was wrong. I heard that the abdominal pain was unbearable, so..."
Cao Weidong sighed.
It seems like we can’t make an appointment today.
After walking out of the hotel, he found that it was very close to Zhao Yazhi's home, so he simply bought some fruits and planned to go there and have a look.
When Zhao Yazhi's father saw Cao Weidong, he was a little surprised and said awkwardly:
"Mr. Cao, why are you here?"
Cao Weidong smiled.
"I just happened to be on a business trip to Kowloon. Come and see how you are doing lately?"
Zhao Yazhi’s father showed a satisfied smile on his face.
"We're doing pretty well."
It can be seen that the situation at home has improved a lot.
Cao Weidong has never treated his artists poorly, and Zhao Yazhi is a popular actress and earns a lot of money every month.
So Zhao Yazhi sent the extra money to her family to improve her life.
At this time, Zhao Yazhi's mother asked worriedly.
"Azhi hasn't been home for a long time, and I don't know how he's doing lately. Did he cause you any trouble?"
Cao Weidong laughed and said: "No, Azhi is doing very well. He is filming a new movie with Zheng Shaoqiu recently, so he doesn't have time to go home."
When Zhao Yazhi's mother heard this, her eyes filled with peach blossoms.
"You mean Zheng Shaoqiu...Mr. Cao, do you think I can get Shaoqiu's signature?"
Zhao Yazhi's father was unhappy and said in a somewhat amused tone.
"You are already old, so pay attention to your image."
Cao Weidong laughed.
After leaving Zhao Yazhi's house, Cao Weidong took a trip to Temple Street.
Since the disintegration of the Chinese Inspector System and the establishment of the Independent Commission Against Corruption, societies and gangs have lost their official backing and no longer dare to be as arrogant as usual. The bad atmosphere here has also been eliminated.
Of course, where there is light, there is darkness.
This is the unchanging truth.
Cao Weidong glanced over.
He saw that hidden in the shadows of Temple Street were several pairs of eyes filled with malevolence, staring maliciously at the passing tourists, looking for the lone "fat sheep".
Cao Weidong drew a dangerous arc from the corner of his mouth, turned his steps, and walked towards an unlit alley...
Behind him, several figures dropped their disguises and followed him quietly.
The prey finally walked into the trap.
It’s just that who is the hunter and who is the prey is still unclear...
