In the afternoon of the same day, Kang Jianfei met the legendary screenwriter He Li's Three Heroes at a tea restaurant.
Xiao Ruoyuan is slightly chubby and wears thick-rimmed glasses. He smiles and is polite when he talks. McDonald's Bear is a good-looking guy, but he talks very fast and has a gangster air about him.
Both of them are TV talents promoted by Huang Xizhao. The TV series they produced once defeated TVB.
When Kang Jianfei sat down and ordered tea, the first thing Huang Xizhao said was: "Mr. Kang, I'm sorry. I didn't do what I promised you. Before I came here to drink tea, I also submitted my resignation letter."
Kang Jianfei was stunned and asked: "Why?"
Huang Xizhao said with a wry smile: "Since I can't do anything at the TV station, there is no need for me to stay there anymore. I don't want to waste my time at LiTV. Not only did I submit my resignation letter, but Zhong Jinghui will also resign in a few days."
"
Kang Jianfei sighed in his heart, Huang Xizhao didn't believe that he could completely acquire the TV station, so he chose to leave out of frustration.
Kang Jianfei asked: "What are Mr. Huang going to do after resigning? Join the wireless station?"
Huang Xizhao chuckled: "Just do any business. Lishi is my old employer after all. It doesn't look good to work for a rival just after I left."
Kang Jianfei continued to ask: "What's going on?"
McDonald's was outspoken and couldn't help but say: "It's not like Duan Jinhong was that street guy who pushed Uncle Zhao away so that he could take over..."
After the McDonald's Bear crackled and cursed, Kang Jianfei finally understood what was going on:
In addition to the general manager Huang Xizhao, Lishi also has two vice presidents. Duan Jinhong is one of the vice presidents in charge of administrative work. Duan joined forces with several Australian department heads to cause trouble for Huang Xizhao and others.
While running to complain to the Australian directors, the shareholder representatives from Australia were full of resentment towards Huang Xizhao and Zhong Jinghui. In the end, the two parties were unable to communicate normally at all.
The current situation is that Huang Xizhao has submitted his resignation, and his confidants have also resigned one after another. In just over half a day, Tu Yongxiong, Li Zhaoxiong, McDonald Xiong, Xiao Ruoyuan, Huang Tailai and other directors from Lishi,
The producers all said that they would advance and retreat together with Huang Xizhao. It can be said that the program production department of Li's TV station has been paralyzed.
From this we can see how high Huang Xizhao's prestige is. The subordinates he promoted, except Xu Xiaoming, all left Lishi together without hesitation.
After Huang Xizhao and the backbone of the station resigned, deputy general manager Zhong Jinghui was completely disappointed with Lishi and decided to resign in a few days after finishing the work in hand and switch to the wireless station. If Zhong Jinghui leaves again, at least there will be a chance.
A group of key talents are leaving, which basically takes away the talents of Lishi.
Kang Jianfei was quite speechless after hearing this. "So, Li Shi is already half paralyzed?"
Xiao Ruoyuan smiled lightly and said: "It's not like paralysis. After we people leave, there will naturally be people willing to take over and do our original work."
McDonald's Bear snorted coldly: "Everyone knows how to film a movie. I don't know if it will have ratings."
After all, Kang Jianfei is also a shareholder of the TV station. Huang Xizhao said to him apologetically: "Mr. Kang, Lishi's vitality has been severely damaged this time. It will take at least a year to recover, because talents are the most difficult to cultivate. I am here
At that time, Lishi could barely hold on. But in the next few months, Mr. Kang, you must be prepared for serious losses."
Kang Jianfei sighed and said, "Mr. Huang, if you have no good place to go after leaving the TV station, you can come to Oriental DreamWorks first." After speaking, Kang Jianfei looked at Xiao Ruoyuan and McDonald's Bear again, "The same goes for other people, as long as they are from
I can accept whatever Lishi leaves. If you two want to make a movie, I can invest for you."
Kang Jianfei said this, which made Huang Xizhao and the others very embarrassed. After all, Kang Jianfei was a shareholder of the TV station, and they left LiTV collectively. It could be regarded as tearing down Kang Jianfei's station. Unexpectedly, Kang Jianfei was so generous. Not only did he not blame them, but
lent a helping hand.
Huang Xizhao waved her hands and said: "No, I plan to start a clothing business after resigning. It shouldn't be difficult to support myself."
Kang Jianfei smiled and said: "Actually, you are all rich in film and television. I am not helping you, but I just value your talents."
McDonald's Bear and Xiao Ruoyuan looked at each other. They were planning to open a film company after leaving the TV station, but were worried about finding investors. Kang Jianfei's words were a timely blessing.
McDonald's Bear said: "Mr. Kang, Aben and I had plans to make a movie. We were looking for investment from Mr. Zou before, but I don't know..."
McDonald's was embarrassed to finish what he said, but Kang Jianfei understood the underlying meaning.
Kang Jianfei's idea was to let McDonald's Bear and Xiao Ruoyuan join Oriental DreamWorks to make a film, or to direct independently like Xu Anhua with Kang Jianfei's investment, and then the film producer would bear the name of DreamWorks. But McDonald's Bear was more ambitious. He imagined
Wu Siyuan and Xu Guanwen also set up their own film companies and asked Kang Jianfei to provide money to become a satellite company affiliated with DreamWorks.
To be honest, Kang Jianfei really hates the satellite company's model. His idea is that either you become my employee and help me make the film, or I invest in you to make the film and we all share the accounts. The satellite company involves too much and is too troublesome.
If Kang Jianfei was not a time traveler, then he would most likely agree with this method of cooperation, which can not only reduce investment risks, but also expand his competitiveness in the Hong Kong film industry. This is what Zou Wenhuai did back then.
But the problem is that Kang Jianfei can see very far and accurately, and can basically predict the box office of movies. It would be superfluous to set up a satellite company.
Kang Jianfei shook his head and said: "I don't like Jiahe's business philosophy. If you two want to join DreamWorks, I welcome them. If you two want to make a film, I can invest, but the film copyright must belong to DreamWorks."
McDonald's Bear frowned and said nothing. He left Lishi because he wanted to do something big, but after working in the TV station for so many years, he knew how deep the film industry was, and there was little certainty of success. For him,
For someone who has transitioned from television to the film industry, it is very rare for Kang Jianfei to be able to commit to investing in a film.
Xiao Ruoyuan wanted to be cautious, so he kicked McDonald's Bear under the table and nodded gently towards him.
After receiving a hint from his good friend, McDonald's finally made up his mind and said with a smile: "Thank you very much for Mr. Kang's trust. I will get the script out as soon as possible."

Five days later, Li Shi looked gloomy and gloomy.
Huang Xizhao and Zhong Jinghui left the TV station with a group of people, and Duan Jinhong, who squeezed them out, finally became the interim general manager.
Why temporary?
Because according to the Hong Kong Broadcasting Regulations, even if the chairman of the board of directors of a TV station wants to appoint the general manager of the station, he needs to apply to the Broadcasting Authority. Until approval is obtained from the Broadcasting Authority, Duan Jinhong can only be his interim general manager.
Duan Jinhong, who finally became the general manager, was not happy because he found that what he inherited was a mess, and the backbone talents of Lishi were almost gone with Huang and Zhong. Even if Duan Jinhong wanted to promote and train the backbones by himself.
, it’s not just a matter of one or two days, but LiTV has to record various programs every day.
Xu Xiaoming is one of the few people who was promoted by Huang Xizhao but did not follow him. He used to be very capable in the TV station, but now that there is a severe shortage of talents, it stands to reason that he should be the target of vigorous promotion in the station.
Unfortunately, it's not that simple. Even if Xu Xiaoming stays in Taiwan, it can't change the fact that he is Huang Xizhao's confidant. As one of the few remaining talents in Lishi, Xu Xiaoming is actually idle, with nothing to do all day long.
On the fifth day after Huang Xizhao resigned, LiTV's new drama was launched. Due to poor production and poor supervision, the ratings fell below 15%, setting a new low for the TV station. The TV station's advertising fees have dropped again and again, but
Advertising sponsors are still clamoring to stop advertising.
Not only TV dramas, LiTV's variety shows also suffered a huge drop in quality due to the departure of their producers, causing viewers to abandon the programs and switch channels.
Faced with this situation, Kang Jianfei, as a director of the TV station, requested to convene a board meeting, and the directors of the three Australian shareholders immediately agreed because they could no longer bear it.
Since the shares of Jardine Matheson and Standard Chartered were sold to Australians, the only shareholders of Lishi are Kang Jianfei and three Australian shareholders. In addition to the four shareholders, there are three non-executives attending the board meeting today.
The directors are three senior TV elites from Australia and the UK, as well as Duan Jinhong, now Lishi’s interim general manager.
The three ghost TV elites chatted a lot, roughly analyzing the current management and operational loopholes of Lishi, setting a development direction for the future, and introducing the latest TV equipment, etc.
.
After listening to the three people finished speaking, Kang Jianfei suddenly sneered: "No matter how good the management system is, no matter how good the TV production equipment is, what's the use if you can't make good TV programs? The audience is watching the program, not cold machines and scientific management.
system."
After Kang Jianfei's words came out, the conference room became quiet. Because everyone is not a fool, how could they not know that Lishi's biggest problem now is the lack of production talents?
However, these foreign directors are outsiders after all. It is impossible to know the personal situation of specific employees in Taili, let alone that the shortage of talents in Taili is caused by man-made things. There are more than one capable talents like Xu Xiaoming who have not left, but due to various reasons
For various reasons, they are not reused, but instead promote some people with weak talents.
Kang Jianfei has no good solution now, unless he removes Duan Jinhong and hires a new person to be the general manager. But this suggestion will definitely not pass because Kang Jianfei cannot convince other directors.
The most disgusting thing was that these bastards were still speaking in English during the meeting. Kang Jianfei's ears almost started to smoke. Even with an interpreter, he couldn't communicate with them at all.
Halfway through the meeting, Kang Jianfei left the meeting early, and those ghost guys discussed recruiting some TV talents from Australian TV stations to fill the vacancies left after the departure of Lishi's production backbone. 8
