Regardless of the situation on all sides, after arriving at Wheelock Building, Li Guangyu learned about the trends in the stock market and went to Jiayi Building with Gan Qin.
In addition to the uproar about John Major Kujo, the most exciting news in Hong Kong right now is that Liu Tianchi, vice president of Jiayi Group, has switched to HK as the general manager of the TV station.
The former vice president of Jiayi Group may be dissatisfied with the current situation, or the treatment provided by HK TV station is high enough, or his heart is not consistent with Jiayi or even the Li Group, so he chose to leave the Li Group.
Fortunately, this person didn't understand some of the core things of the Li Group, otherwise he probably wouldn't have been able to escape in this life.
Li's consortium Tianyu Investment, as well as the heads of several departments and executives at the headquarters, can only retire and have no plans to change jobs. They understand that there are too many things inside the Li's consortium, and Li Guangyu will not create a strong enemy for himself.
In the conference room of Jiayi Building, Li Guangyu asked the senior executives present: "There has been a lot of news about your Jiayi Group these days. In addition to Liu Tianchi, which other senior executives, artists, screenwriters, etc. have left the group?"
?”
Jiayi Group and even Li Guangyu are quite arrogant. Those who submit resignation letters will never be retained by the group, and everything will be done in accordance with the procedures prescribed by the group.
Jiayi Group and Li Group have such capital, they do not lack a few personnel, and they have enough resources to maintain the development of the group. This matter will not have a big impact on them.
Xu Yali, the vice president in charge of this aspect, responded loudly: "Li Sheng, because our three major TV stations, eight major film companies and five major newspapers issued a joint statement, it is still very good in terms of deterrence. Except for Liu Tian, the people who left this time
Outside of the pool, no one at level 10 or above chose to leave, 5 people at level 6 or above chose to leave, and 8 people at the bottom management level chose to leave.
In terms of artists, no second-rate or above stars chose to leave, and 16 people from some well-known artists left, including 15 people from photographers, hosts, screenwriters, martial arts instructors, etc."
This is really not a small number in total, there are more than 40 people in total, and the Jiayi Group has a big business, so it doesn't care about it. If this was placed in a smaller company, I'm afraid it would have exploded long ago.
Li Guangyu said: "For those who jump out, they will all be blacklisted, and we will strictly abide by the joint statement of the three channels, eight televisions and five newspapers. We will never hire them, never ask these people to endorse our group's products, and will never release them."
and play the works produced and performed by these people.
At the same time, we must also do a good job in the management of the group, provide employees with appropriate and satisfactory treatment as much as possible, and retain the hearts of employees.
Of course, we must get rid of those who ask for high prices. Quality has always been the philosophy that our group adheres to. No matter now or in the future, this cannot be changed. It just relies on the accumulation of stars, no acting skills, and no quality. Such works have no soul.
I definitely don’t want Jiayi Group to become a media group that only makes quick money without pursuing quality.”
In this era, if Japan has taken up the Asian music industry, then Hong Kong has definitely taken over the Asian film and television industry. The eight major film companies and the three major TV stations in Hong Kong have always had strict quality requirements. Those actors who only rely on their faces without any acting skills
He does not have a high status in the Hong Kong film and television industry.
This forces these artists who are aspiring to be successful in this industry to work very hard to hone their acting skills, hoping that one day their acting skills will be recognized by all walks of life, so that they will have the opportunity to receive high salaries.
Xiangjiang's film and television industry has been developing continuously over the years. There has never been a shortage of vases during this period. If some actors think that they can be male and female protagonists just because they are handsome or beautiful, then they are really thinking too much. Whether they are in TV3 or 8TV, then
All are impossible.
Group President Tang Zaichuan responded: "Li Sheng, please rest assured that we have already contacted other companies and will jointly ban these people. No one of our staff or artists will cooperate with HK TV, and we
We are already planning to jointly suppress HK after it comes to power, leaving no room for HK to survive in Hong Kong."
Tang Zaichuan is quite confident in suppressing HK. This company is different from TVB and ATV. They and Jiayi are both competitors and allies, so the three parties get along relatively harmoniously and cooperate more.
The HK TV station is completely different. A clear line has been drawn here. Competition can only be suppressed and there is no possibility of cooperation.
Li Guangyu is still confident in dealing with HK, but it is not easy to bankrupt this TV station. There are many financial backers behind this TV station, and the other party particularly hopes to enhance its influence on public opinion, so even if it loses money every year, the other party will probably be disappointed.
Won't blink.
Li Guangyu then asked about the layout of theaters in mainland China. This is one of the main venues to ensure that the Hong Kong film industry will not decline.
The 1990s are about to come. If Hong Kong films only stay in Hong Kong, it will only lead to the rapid decline of the Hong Kong film industry.
Only a huge market can support the development of Hong Kong's current film industry system, and Greater China and Southeast Asia are the basic base of Hong Kong's film industry market.
Whether in mainland China or Southeast Asia, the layout of Jiayi Cinemas is accelerating. Currently, Jiayi Cinemas is one of the three largest cinema chains in the world and the largest cinema chain company in Asia.
Now Jiayi Cinema Line is an independent company and is not under the jurisdiction of Jiayi Group. After Li Guangyu asked, Yang Yanhan, deputy general manager of Jiayi Cinema Company who also attended the meeting, responded.
"Li Sheng, we currently have 68 theaters in ten cities including Pengcheng, Shanghai, Huacheng, Ludao, and Jinmen, and all of them are now open for business.
Moreover, our company is communicating with relevant departments in the Mainland to prepare to expand our theaters to all provincial capital cities in the Mainland and expand the layout and scale of our theaters in the Mainland. At present, all work is progressing smoothly. If nothing unexpected happens, in July this year
Then it can be approved.”
As Jiayi Cinema has been operating in the mainland for more than a year, it has not only brought many jobs to the mainland, but also provided a lot of tax revenue to the local area, so this aspect is relatively smooth so far.
Li Guangyu knew that a storm was coming, and it would only depend on God's will whether Jiayi Cinema's expansion plan would be approved as scheduled.
He said aloud: "Yan Han, your company is increasing its public relations in the mainland, trying to get the approval in the next two months, and completing the planning of store purchase or rental as soon as possible, so as to complete our expansion plan as early as possible.
I allow you to expand 100 cinemas at once this time, and I will inject the funds. You can talk to them based on the benefits these 100 cinemas will bring to the mainland."
The senior management present are not stupid. Li Guangyu is so eager to complete the layout as soon as possible, which means that Yang Yanhan's statement was not unexpected.
However, the top management of Jiayi Cinema is still very happy at this time. They originally planned to slowly deploy in various provincial capitals in the second half of the year. Now with Li Guangyu's capital injection, they can complete the renovation in one step, renovate multiple stores at the same time, and open them together. What impact will this have?
The force is very huge.
Chen Jianming, general manager of the company, said: "Li Sheng, our company will speed up the expansion in this area, do our best to ensure that we get the approval by the end of April, and make arrangements in various places in advance. After the approval, we will immediately start renting and purchasing stores and renovating them.
We will try to open the business in early July.”
Li Guangyu doesn't know if it will be possible by then, so he can only try his best to expand the presence in the mainland market, which will be very beneficial to Jiayi Cinema and the Hong Kong film industry.
Even if piracy is severe, the movie will have been released for a long time by the time it is produced. This can reduce the losses of some film companies and allow major film companies to have funds to develop.
Only in this virtuous circle can the Hong Kong film industry continue to decline.
