After attending the Bruce Lee statue ceremony, Shi Zhijian chatted a few words with Shao Daheng and other filmmakers.
Although he didn't speak much during the conversation, with Shao Daheng and others talking mainly, every word Shi Zhijian spoke was very precise, and he also directly pointed out the future development trend of Hong Kong movies.
Shi Zhijian's trend is exactly the opposite of Shao Daheng's.
Shaw Taiheng believes that due to the impact of TV programs, people all over the world, especially the people of Hong Kong, will like to watch free TV programs instead of movies, and the business of movie theaters will be bleak. Therefore, his Shaw Brothers movies will gradually reduce production, and
I will focus on the creation of TV programs.
Shi Zhijian believes that television will not be able to replace movies for a long time in the future, due to different production costs and different target groups.
The audience of movies is more precise. Even if TV programs are free, they still cannot meet the requirements of some audiences. Secondly, movies are still in the development stage, and various types of movies will appear in the future, such as three-dimensional movies, 3D movies, etc.
In addition, the atmosphere that audiences feel when watching a movie in a cinema is definitely different from the atmosphere they experience when watching TV at home. This is the fundamental reason why movies cannot be defeated and replaced by TV.
In the end, Shi Zhijian said meaningfully: "Hong Kong movies have just started, not declining. If I were to predict, Hong Kong movies will have at least 30 years of golden development time! I hope all film colleagues will encourage me!"
Shi Zhijian's words are sonorous and powerful. The most important thing is that as the president of Shinhwa Group, he is a businessman with unique forward-looking insights. Even people who are familiar with him know that any project Shi Zhijian invests in or the trend he identifies
All good industries will make a lot of money, and the future is bright!
Immediately Xu Sanshao, Huo Dashao, Zou Wenhuai, Li Hanxiang and others applauded.
Shao Daheng looked a little embarrassed. He didn't expect Shi Zhijian to contradict him on such an occasion.
Shi Zhijian also felt Shao Daheng's displeasure, so he stood up and walked to Shao Daheng, bent down and said to him: "Uncle Six, I was just talking casually! Everyone is just cheering, so don't mind!"
"How could it be? This kind of occasion requires everyone to speak freely!" Shao Daheng had to be more generous.
"That's good! I suddenly remembered that I still have something to do, so I'll take my leave first! Also, thank you Uncle Six for being able to come here to attend the ceremony today! Thank you very much!" Shi Zhijian clasped his fists at Shao Daheng again to express his gratitude.
Shao Daheng was too embarrassed to say anything more. He was just curious about what Shi Zhijian was going to do when he just left on such an important occasion.
After Shi Zhijian left, Shao Daheng hooked his fingers, and soon his confidant Zhou Duwen trotted up to him.
"Uncle Six, what do you want your old man to do?"
"Go and see what Shi is so anxious to do?"
"receive!"
…
Hilton Hotel,
In the conference hall——
When George He was invited into the hall by Hu Juncai, he discovered that he was not the only one invited today. In addition to him, there were also Qiu Dehe, the president of Hong Kong Far East Bank, the head of Hong Kong Commercial Radio, Mak Lo Man, and the Hong Kong "Overseas Chinese"
Daily Journal" Zhuang Shichen et al.
He took a quick glance and found that most of these people were in the media business. At the very least, they also owned the media industry. For example, Qiu Dehe of Far East Bank, who is engaged in finance, owns part of the equity of Hong Kong Li TV.
Although there are very few, it is also very rare. After all, the beautiful ones are controlled by ghosts, and it will be very difficult for Chinese funds to invest.
When George He entered the hall, everyone glanced at him with different expressions.
Hu Juncai invited He George to sit down at a seat, and then said to everyone with a smile: "Everyone, please wait a moment, our boss will be here soon."
The boss mentioned by Hu Juncai is of course Shi Zhijian.
Only big figures like Shi Zhijian have the power and qualifications to arrive belatedly, leaving big guys like Qiu De and He Zuozhi to "wait" here.
Hu Juncai immediately asked the waiter to prepare coffee, cigars and other items, then said goodbye to everyone, turned around and left with a smile.
After Hu Juncai left, Qiu Dejiu picked up a cigar, looked at it, and said with a smile: "This Shi Zhijian has spent a lot of money, and he doesn't know what he wants from me. He entertains us with such a good cigar and coffee!"
Everyone is a big shot, and of course they are good at these things. McLowin said: "I heard that he is expanding the media industry recently. He may be interested in the media company in our hands!"
"Yes, many companies have been acquired by Shinhwa Entertainment. Previously, Shao Daheng severely criticized Shi Zhijian in the newspaper for this, saying that he was trying to kill everyone and not give the media people a way to survive!" Qiu Dejiu chewed on his cigar after finishing his story.
He glanced at everyone intentionally or unintentionally.
"Well, I only have a newspaper and nothing else!" Zhuang Shichen said, "The person here who is most qualified to negotiate with Shi Zhijian is Mr. He, and he owns a TV station!"
Seeing everyone mentioning him, He George hurriedly said: "I am not good at negotiating. I will need everyone to work together later!"
As soon as these words came out, Qiu Dehe immediately said: "That's good! If we hug each other and twist them into a rope, our victory will be greater!"
Everyone couldn't help but become happy, thinking in their hearts, yes, no matter how sharp Shi Zhijian is, if we all work together, we will be very powerful.
But suddenly——
George He: "If that's the case, why would Shi Zhijian leave us here alone? Isn't he afraid that we will stick together?"
"Well--"
One sentence made everyone stunned.
At this moment, Shi Zhijian's voice sounded from outside the door: "Boss, you have to work together as a team to do business! The era of working alone has long passed!"
While speaking, Shi Zhijian, wearing only a loose shirt with the collar loosened, thick padding on his right shoulder, and a windbreaker, walked in from the conference room with Hu Juncai.
"Haha, A Jian, you are finally here!" Qiu Dehe and Shi Zhijian are also old friends. They have also helped Shi Zhijian in the past, so even if they are more generous, it is appropriate.
Others stood up from their seats and greeted politely: "Hello, Mr. Shi!"
Although Shi Zhijian is young, he has a special status. If he is just the president of Shinhwa Group, that's it. However, he is also the first Chinese member of parliament and the third earl of the British Empire. For these two points alone, everyone at the scene had to respect him.
Shi Zhijian shook his shoulders and shook off his windbreaker.
Hu Juncai caught it easily, and seeing Shi Zhijian looking refreshed, he also greeted everyone politely.
"Boss Qiu, you are in good spirits. I heard that your Far East Bank has attracted a lot of business recently!"
"Mr. Mai, the singing competition held by your radio station was very successful. I especially like Xu Guanjie's "Ghost Horse Double Star"! I heard that this is also the first Chinese song to be played on BBC Radio in the UK!"
"Mr. Zhong Youzhuang, your "Overseas Chinese Daily" is making money every day, and the trade secrets it publishes have helped many investors make a fortune! It is known as the number one newspaper for stock trading!"
Shi Zhijian talked eloquently to everyone. It seemed that he was just talking a few words casually, but his words made Qiu Dehe and others filled with consternation.
You must know that they did not disclose a lot of information to the outside world, but Shi Zhijian was able to blurt it out, which shows how terrifying the Shinhwa Group is in intelligence collection.
Finally, Shi Zhijian looked at He George, "Probably the most troubled person here is He Sheng. Jiayi TV is stuck in the throat by Shangfeng. I am afraid that it will suffer heavy losses in the past two months of operation!"
As soon as these words came out, Qiu Dehe and others all looked at He George. They didn't understand what Shi Zhijian meant. This TV station has only been on the air for more than two months, and you are cursing them for losing money.
Only He Zuozhi knew clearly what Shi Zhijian meant by "stuck in the throat".
At the beginning, he was eager to win. In order to obtain the TV station license issued by the government as soon as possible, he accepted a very unreasonable request from the above and broadcast educational programs during the prime time of the TV station!
It is for this reason that when other TV stations are broadcasting TV series, Jiayi is broadcasting an English teaching program. A ghost guy teaches the audience ABC with a straight face! Only a ghost can watch it!
So much so that no advertisers were willing to invest during that period, and advertising fees are the largest source of funding for TV stations at this stage. Jiayi is inherently deficient!
Of course, in addition to this, Jiayi still has many shortcomings, such as management, TV production, marketing, etc. Because it is a new TV station and has no experience, unless you spend a lot of money to poach people from other TV stations, otherwise
Everything has to be started from scratch!
"Thank you, Mr. Shi, for your concern. Although our current situation at Jiayi is not good, we can still persevere!" He Zuozhi said to Shi Zhijian calmly and with a smile.
"It's good to persevere!" Shi Zhijian smiled and sat down in front of everyone. The waiter brought coffee to him.
"But investing in a TV station is a big gamble, and the amount of investment will increase in the later period!" Shi Zhijian glanced at He George, "By then, many people will discover that your TV station is suffering serious losses. Who else is willing to do it?"
Invest money to join?”
"What about Mr. Shi? If you invite me here, don't you want to buy my TV station?" He George asked rhetorically.
"That's right! I have this plan!" Shi Zhijian smiled, leaned back, and picked up the coffee cup with one hand: "But I'm not sure yet. To be precise, I'm still considering-"
"Uh, what?" He George was stunned. He didn't understand what trick Shi Zhijian was playing.
At this time, Qiu Deheu seemed to have understood something, and suddenly clapped his hands and said: "Sharp! Sharp!"
Everyone looked at Qiu Dehe.
Qiu Dejiu sighed and said, "Ajian, just now I said you were so generous, arranging such nice coffee and cigars for a mere meeting, but now I know you are really too stingy!"
Everyone was even more curious and looked at Qiu Dehe with puzzled faces.
Qiu Dehei: "Don't you understand?" After speaking, he looked at the crowd and said, "What do we do? We are in the media! There are radio stations, newspapers, and TV stations! Now Jiayi is losing money.
How many people know about this? Of course we do! But soon the whole of Hong Kong will know about it. Even if He Sheng wants to sell the TV station, the price will probably be greatly discounted, or he will continue to stick to it and invest money in it...
…As for who leaked the news, then I have to ask Mr. Shi Zhijianshi?”
Only then did everyone realize that Shi Zhijian's invitation to them today was just to make them "accomplices" to stimulate George He!
He George also understood and couldn't help but look at Shi Zhijian with complaints in his eyes.
Shi Zhijian drank coffee calmly: "You are right to say so!" After saying that, he looked at George He, "But I am doing it for your own good!"
"For your own good? Haha, Mr. Shi and I are not related, so why do you want to do your best for me?" He George's tone was full of sarcasm.
"I owe a favor to Sir Robert Ho Tung of Macau, and I'll pay it back to you now!" Shi Zhijian said, extending his hand behind him.
Hu Juncai immediately handed the information he had prepared to Shi Zhijian.
Shi Zhijian passed the information in his hand to He George, "This is my profit projection for Jiayi TV in the next three years. It may not be accurate. You can use it as a reference--"
He Zuozhi was stunned for a moment, then reached out to take the information handed over by Shi Zhijian and glanced at it a few times.
At first, his expression was very calm, even a little sarcastic. He knew his own skills well, how could an outsider be qualified to estimate profits?!
But gradually, George He's face changed and became shocked and ugly!
Qiu Dehe and others chewed their cigars and looked at He George with curiosity in their hearts. They wanted to reach over and look at the information together, but they were embarrassed due to their status.
Shi Zhijian drank coffee contentedly, and he knew very well how George He was feeling now. Because the information in He George's hand was prepared by Shi Zhijian based on the trend of Jiayi TV Station in the previous generation. Every word on it was very accurate about Jiayi
The development history of television, of course, includes its development trends, coping methods, and its inability to survive bankruptcy in three years, etc. The examples are extremely detailed.
The situation at this moment is equivalent to Shi Zhijian turning on the golden finger and putting all the past and present lives of Jiayi in front of He George. How can you not surprise He George?
I don’t know how long it took, but He George finally calmed down his pounding heart.
He raised his head and looked at Shi Zhijian.
Shi Zhijian was holding coffee and looking at him with a smile.
Qiu Dehe and others looked at the two of them curiously.
"I can sell you Jiayi!"
With a bang, as soon as He George said these words, Qiu Dehe and others were shocked. He was defeated by just a few words and a piece of information?!
"But I have a question for you. Since you calculated that Jiayi is losing money, why did you acquire it?"
Yes, Qiu Dehe and others are also very curious. Since you said that other TV stations are suffering serious losses, why do you want to acquire them again?!
Faced with such a problem, Shi Zhijian smiled.
He leaned forward and put down the slightly cooled coffee in his hand, then raised his head and met George He's eyes and said: "Because I can revitalize!"
A simple sentence, full of confidence and aloofness!
