On the day of the 7th, the weather was still unfavorable, and it was raining lightly. Zhao Donghuai arrived at the first phase of Huayuan by car, walked to the door opposite Li Jiaxin's house, and rang the doorbell.
Soon, Cai Shaofen came to open the door. When she saw him when the door opened, Afen was shocked, "Ah, boss? Why are you here..."
Zhao Donghuai was also a little surprised, "Didn't Axin call me and beg me to come? What are you guys doing?"
Of course he knew what Li Jiaxin was doing yesterday, playing mahjong all night with a few little sisters. It was already 8 o'clock in the morning and the game hadn't ended yet.
However, even after playing mahjong all night, the Ah Fen in front of her was still very energetic. She didn't show signs of depression or bad complexion after staying up late. After all, she was young.
Cai Shaofen hurriedly stepped aside and asked Zhao Donghuai to come in. She murmured in surprise, "Sister Xin said she was looking for a master, so she wouldn't let the big boss get killed personally, would she? How dare we play with you..."
Zhao Donghuai laughed, "She lost miserably?"
Gambling is popular in Haowan, Hong Kong, but playing mahjong among a few friends is not a good bet. They have no money to gamble, and the winning or losing chips are the number of times they treat each other to dinner and shopping.
It is up to the loser to decide whether to treat everyone to a roadside stall or a big hotel. In theory, if you treat everyone to a meal of instant noodles and ham sausage, it is also treated as a treat. If you treat everyone to a bowl of chop suey noodles, it is also treated as a treat. It’s all about face... face.
, how many young people can afford to lose face like this?
The same goes for shopping. In theory, if you go to a dollar store... no, there is no such thing as a dollar store at this stage, but that's the nature of it. You can go to a night market stall to help a little girl pay the bill, or you can go to a high-end luxury store.
visit.
It's up to the loser to decide.
While walking, he saw the large living room. At the mahjong table in the living room, Li Jiaxin stood up in surprise and ran over. Hong Xin and Winona Ryder, who were sitting at the table, also stood up hurriedly and bent down to say hello from a distance.
.
When Li Jiaxin came over and Cai Shaofen hurried back to the table to talk quietly to Hong Xin and others, Ah Xin also came over and whispered, "I lost miserably. I invited you to go shopping 20 times and to eat 18 times. Boss, please help me."
"
Zhao Donghuai was a little bit, "..."
He looked at Ah Xin in disbelief, "You really called me here so early in the morning for such a thing?"
Ah Xin whispered coquettishly, "The house I bought is right across the door, and they also lived there. When I go back, I will wear Hong Xin's clothes."
Director Zhao, "..."
He is not that kind of person.
Ah Xin whispered a few more words, and then Zhao Donghuai sighed, "It's raining lightly today, but there's still a lot that can be done. I've been corrupted by you."
When he walked over and sat in the seat before Li Jiaxin, Cai Shaofen and the other girls were shocked and said, "Boss, you really love Sister Xin, are you serious?"
Ah Fen, Hong Xin, and Winona indeed had expressions of shock and stupidity on their faces. After all, someone like Director Zhao, who has so many things to do, was actually called by Ah Xin to help her regain her place in the poker game on a working day.
It's too magical.
Zhao Donghuai chuckled lightly, "Anyway, we don't have any big plans today. Come on, I'll play a few tricks. Don't worry, since we've started, let's put aside our identities as bosses and employees. Everyone is equal."
Seeing that the three girls still looked dull and a little trembling, Ah Xin hurriedly encouraged her, "You should seize the opportunity. The boss always says that he will not default on his debt no matter how much he loses, and he is much more generous than me."
"I definitely won't treat you to roadside stalls or night market stalls to pay off your debts."
Hong Xin instinctively said, "That's right... Sister Xin may cheat if she loses too much, but the boss certainly won't?"
Then everyone started to shuffle the cards. In the first hand, they were still a little reluctant to let go. It wasn't until Zhao Donghuai played a two-barrel card that Cai Shaofen said in surprise, "Boss, can I play Hu?"
Zhao Donghuai smiled and nodded, "Okay."
This was his first few losses to liven up the atmosphere. Even if he has never mastered any gambling skills, with his mental calculation ability, hand speed and so on, playing this is really...
He could easily use the cards played by several women to figure out what cards the opponent had in his hand and what cards he was waiting to take.
Even if he shuffles the cards and cheats at the beginning, he can do it with his memory, brain power and hand speed.
………………
Ji Province, on a bright spring morning, Yangshuo was escorted to the airport by several colleagues. The young originator of fan fiction smiled and said politely, "Teacher Yang, Teacher Li, thank you very much, just send it here..."
Yangshuo received an invitation from Hong Kong Island ATV yesterday. They want him to host a variety show project in Hong Kong Island and be the host?
Not to mention, even after graduating from college, Yangshuo was a little surprised that he would have such an opportunity to be a TV host? He was very excited, but he couldn't...
I haven't studied it yet.
On the phone, I awkwardly expressed that I didn’t know how to do it and didn’t understand it, but the people on Hong Kong Island were very accommodating and said that as long as you are willing to come, you can learn if you don’t know how to do it. This variety show is a recording and broadcast of conversation.
Several hosts and guests were drinking and chatting. The host asked each star about their early life history, love affairs, etc., and any exciting tidbits during the filming process.
When he heard this in Yangshuo, he thought? Drinking wine and chatting with big stars? Well, he felt that this was not very difficult. Besides, it was a recording and not a live broadcast...
Questions are generally related to personal privacy, and he is also very interested in celebrity gossip.
Then he came, and ATV helped him book his air ticket. ATV also took care of things like work visas. When he arrived, ATV would also arrange food and lodging, and get his salary.
Huang Zhan couldn't stand the challenge of ATV's variety show invitation, and neither could he.
But when Yangshuo went to Jilin University to ask for leave and talked about this variety show invitation, the news spread rapidly and explosively.
From last night to this morning, too many people came to him to chat and see him off.
When he sat in the departure hall, Yangshuo was still a little dizzy. He really didn't expect that such a strange opportunity would happen to him.
Speaking of which, since he became popular and made a fortune by writing the time-travel version of Mr. Zombie, he has also traveled to Hong Kong Island several times, and even went to celebrities such as Lin Zhengying and Louis Koo to ask for photos and autographs. However, traveling and working are obviously
It's not something of the same nature.
The hours flew by.
When Yangshuo walked out of Kai Tak Airport, it was already past four in the afternoon, and he was still thinking about taking a taxi to ATV. He saw a young man in his 30s near the exit corridor waving to him and calling, "Yangshuo, Yangsheng"
…”
Yangshuo turned around, a little surprised. He didn't recognize the other person. The person had already walked over quickly and said with a smile, "I'm Zhu Jiading. You can just call me A Ding. In the next period of time, we will probably cooperate many times. In the future
You want to contact me more and have more contact. I'll pick you up tonight? The hotel has been booked."
Ading speaks Mandarin. His eldest brother has been in charge of the special effects base of Zhao Films for five years. In the past five years, he has basically met elites from all over the world in Pengcheng.
Because my eldest brother speaks Mandarin well, he also learns a lot from it in his daily life.
As Yangshuo walked out, he exclaimed, "Why are you so embarrassed? I'll treat you to this meal. Brother Ding, you're willing to help me get into the rhythm of my new job. It's already been a big help."
Zhu Jiading laughed, "It's okay, let's help each other. I haven't hosted a variety show before. I just work in the advertising industry. It's quite unexpected."
"Moreover, the new program, the variety show, is undefended, and Uncle Zhan takes the lead. We were both students in the early stages, and as juniors, Uncle Zhan is the one who takes the lead."
After the two of them got into the car, Yang Shuo asked curiously, "By the way, Brother Ding, what exactly is this variety show about? I have a rough idea, but I'm a little confused and can't see clearly..."
Zhu Jiading started the car, and he seemed to be floating a little, "Do you know Bill Gai?"
Yang Shuo nodded, "I know, he is not only the owner of the Devils team in Shaolin Football, but I heard he is also the chairman of a listed group of a computer-related company in North America? He has hundreds of millions of dollars in wealth, and the listed group's equity is worth one to two billion dollars?
"
"A super rich man and a powerful actor."
Before the original track Window95 came out, when Brother Gai had not ascended to the throne of the world's richest man, not many people in China knew his name, but in this dimension, Brother Gai not only played Shaolin Football, but also played Ip Man.
He participated in the Millionaire variety show and revealed that he dropped out of Harvard and founded Microsoft. He has been working hard to develop Microsoft from a humble warehouse into a super conglomerate with a market value of tens of billions of Hong Kong dollars.
.
He is hailed as the best example of the North American dream.
When I was still in the mainland of Yangshuo, I watched some of the millionaire variety shows broadcast by Yangma, so I was very impressed by the cover.
Starting from scratch and becoming worth tens of billions of Hong Kong dollars in his 30s?? That’s so awesome and inspiring! He’s an idol!
Zhu Jiading smiled, "It's good to know. We have gone through many things and know that Gai is a model of self-made man. Therefore, inviting him to tonight without defense is to slowly get him drunk and let him tell the truth and reveal the real information."
Yangshuo was stunned, "Ah? Revealing the truth? Could it be that what he publicized before was false?"
Zhu Jiading was filled with emotion, "I only found out the truth after reading an issue of the script. It turned out that the initial stage of running Microsoft was not smooth. He mainly relied on his friend Paul to write programming and sell it to make money. He was responsible for bringing in business orders."
"He is a second-generation super rich and powerful man with a wide network of contacts. Let's not talk about the various small businesses in the early days. Microsoft's largest business order was obtained from IBM. He was able to get the order because of his high status and influence.
Guang, after his business became big, he was not usurped by others, or his property was taken advantage of by others."
"It's also protected by my parents' influence and connections."
"The first operating system that Microsoft sold to IBM was just one that Brother Gai bought from outside. He modified it a little and took the IBM contract to go public and raise funds."
"He develops various software and has a team of professional talents. He relies on his parents to do business and protect his family property. You can't say that he doesn't have any talent. Even Aduna can't help him."
"But his entrepreneurial ability is far less impressive than what he boasted before. Even the model he created as a new model of a wealthy and loving couple is also fake..."
"What we have to do is to get him drunk, lead the conversation, and record his true side in the program. When and how much will be broadcast, and how much information will be revealed, all depends on the program team's plan."
Yangshuo said directly, "Holy shit, you started from scratch?"
Zhu Jiading continued to laugh, "Another example is inviting Cheng Long as a guest. When did he get married? How old is his child? How many girlfriends did he have? After he was poached by Jiahe, how many club members did Luo Wei invite to hunt him down?
We all have to look for opportunities to dig them out.”
"But again, this is a recording. When it is broadcast, the number of broadcasts depends on the plan."
Yangshuo, "Holy shit, Cheng Long is married?"
Two examples, most of the outsiders in Yangshuo have become more interested in the variety show "Undefended Tonight", and the fire of gossip is burning brightly.
Such a variety show is a bit too popular, so the ratings must be boundless.
Zhu Jiading was even more happy, "As long as the guests dare to come to this show, we will try our best to dig out every insider information. If we don't succeed the first time, we will come a few more times."
Yangshuo nodded excitedly, "I feel that the future of this variety show is very stable."
………………
Huayuan Phase 1.
Zhao Donghuai sat on the carpet in front of the sofa, touched a 30,000 yuan card, and then said with a smile, "It's blurry, it's all the same!"
"Let's stop here. Even though you are young, you should have rested long ago. It's already five o'clock in the afternoon."
At first, they played mahjong at a serious mahjong table, next to a high chair, but during lunch, Hong Xin and Winona Ryder took advantage of that time to tidy up again.
Taking advantage of the opportunity to eat, I moved the battlefield to the sofa area in the living room. There are comfortable carpets here. You can sit flat on the ground and rest your legs wherever you want...
At first, Director Zhao just thought that they were playing mahjong from yesterday until noon, and it was uncomfortable to sit in those high chairs. However, he didn't know that this was Winona Ryder's scheming teasing.
No one was wearing shoes when sitting on the carpet, except for Cai Shaofen who was serious and playing mahjong with a happy face. During the afternoon session, Winona and Hong Xin's little black stocking feet were constantly groping under the table, from trial to trial.
raise.
When Director Zhao first arrived in the morning, some were wearing nightgowns and others were wearing jeans and a shirt, which they changed into after lunch.
Winona changed into a white bare-shouldered deep V short skirt, and Hong Xin changed into a bright red sleeveless cheongsam with black silk... Fortunately, Ah Fen is simple and a good boy.
As for Li Jiaxin? When Zhao Donghuai won back all the dinners and shopping that she had lost, she had already gone back to the opposite door to catch up on her sleep at around 11 o'clock in the morning.
If they hadn't been sleeping until now, Winona Ryder and Hong Xin probably wouldn't be so bold.
This was also his easy-going performance throughout the morning, which gave the two rising stars a lot of courage.
He made a mistake. After Li Jiaxin left, he accidentally won too much. When the two goblins tried to test him, he couldn't just avoid them. He deliberately lost a few times to even out the account.
Under his words, Cai Shaofen grabbed his hair and tugged at his hair with a look of collapse, "Ah, why are they all the same, seven times? Even if you, boss, give us an advantage, if we don't calculate it according to the normal number, we will still lose seven times."
.”
The mahjong numbers here on Hong Kong Island are very scary. The 2nd time is twice, the 3rd time is 4 times, the 4th time is 8 times, and the 5th time is 16 times...
He would never deceive his employees like this. The rule he set was that six times would be counted as six times, and seven times would be counted as seven times.
Zhao Donghuai stood up and said with a smile, "Axin is cheating by inviting me here. Just treat her to a roadside stall."
Then he glared at Winona Ryder and Hong Xin a few more times before going out.
When the door closed, Cai Shaofen was still complaining and mad, with a look of despair, Hong Xin pulled Winona Ryder and ran to the second bedroom, "Wow, the boss's feet are so warm, my calf muscles
Super stylish…”
Winona looked so shocked that she doubted her life, "My feet wear size 36 shoes, and for the first time they feel a bit short..."
Hong Xin was confused, "What nonsense are you talking about? Your height is less than 165 centimeters, which is more than five centimeters shorter than me and A Fen. My feet are two sizes larger than yours. What's the difference between this size and the length?
Care."
Winona looked at Hong Xin strangely and said nothing.
The two of them know each other only because they occasionally bump into each other under the table, and the meeting under the table is still very cramped.
Hong Xin said excitedly, "Hey, even though so far, I have lost to Sister Xin 23 times for dinner and 19 times for shopping opportunities, it's not too much. Next time we work together to win back, and Sister Xin has to ask her boss to be a foreign aid.
Bar?"
"This foreign aid project can be played. It was too sudden this morning. Damn it, my long skirt and pajamas have not been washed all night. They must be ugly..."
Winona Ryder looked at her senior sisters speechlessly. They don’t smoke or drink, and they often chew gum. There’s nothing ugly about it. If your words spread, won’t it cause countless female citizens in Hong Kong to express their anger?
public outrage and hostility?
After a moment, Hong Xin was stunned and looked at Winona suspiciously, a little...
………………
On the other side, Li Jiaxin, who had slept for a few hours, was fully resurrected and was explaining with a smile in the living room, "Afen, Hong Xin, Winona, Jennifer Aniston, they play mahjong, cards, etc.
It is a regular program for learning foreign languages.”
"Whether Afen is learning English or a white girl is learning Mandarin or Cantonese, they must speak more and practice more. When playing cards, you speak yours and I speak mine."
"You can switch freely at any time. If you don't speak smoothly, the other person will be your best foreign language teacher, correcting your pronunciation and so on. I also play occasionally."
"Boss, you are so awesome. Wow, you've taken advantage of hundreds of meals and shopping opportunities in total. You're so handsome!"
When she took the written note, there was no signature on it. Even if the number of times was recorded, it was basically more than 40 losses per person... This was still the result of Zhao Donghuai suppressing, restraining, and deliberately losing many times.
.
Zhao Donghuai nodded, "This method is not bad. A bowl of street noodles that costs a few dollars can be considered a treat. It doesn't matter whether you win or lose. It is also a way to deepen friendship."
Li Jiaxin was anxious, "A bowl of offal noodles cannot be counted as one time, otherwise I will suffer too much. If they dare to come like this, then I will order ten bowls at a time and let them eat them all. They will be fat to death..."
………………
Two days later, early in the morning on April 10th.
After days of publicity, the big movie "The Legend of Zhaojun" has officially landed in theaters in Hong Kong, Mainland China, and South Korea. Jiang Wen, a rising star, can be regarded as accompanying the blockbuster, flooding the market again.
Zhao Donghuai was still sitting in the ATV office when he received a call from Li Jiaxin, asking for help and support. Director Zhao decisively refused.
She can't wear anyone's clothes.
How can you waste your good years playing mahjong?
After hanging up the phone, Zhao Donghuai started complaining, "This Ah Xin is a bit lost."
Zhang Min came over with a smile, "Boss, Huang Zhan wants to ask our ATV to rescue Xiao Ni from Director Zeng and Deng Guangrong. He doesn't know what happened to Xiao Ni and how he was tricked by Director Zeng. I want to ask for help and save someone.”
Zhao Donghuai thought for dozens of seconds and nodded, "It's okay to give him some face. During the eight-month filming period, you call Pan Asia and let them be released. It's almost summer, and Siberia is starting to warm up."
"After this lesson, if you still remember it, I will continue to send it when the weather gets cold."
After making this phone call, Amin showed off her verbal acting skills, and then happily ran to the crew of "The Queen of 5,000 Years" to start work. She and Azhen still wanted to make this movie.
She is a supporting role in the crew, and her character design is not very good, but she believes that if she plays a supporting role once, she will get a good project and a good opportunity next time.
As soon as they left, Xiaoxian came to work as a secretary.
……………………
12th.
When Ni Zhen walked out of the exit channel of Kai Tak Airport with emotion, before he could say anything, Ni Jiang and Huang Zhan ran up, surrounded Ni Zhen up and down, looked back and forth, and watched.
The more they looked at each other, the more speechless they became.
Because this Ah Zhen is really fat, with a beer belly, fat arms and legs, and he has not become darker, and his face has become fatter.
There is no grace like vicissitudes of life and suffering.
While the two were speechless, Ni Zhen hugged his father and cried loudly. He had never experienced any physical torture or destruction, but mental torture was super powerful.
For those who live in a big city, think about it, if you are thrown into a wilderness without a TV, newspapers, magazines, mobile phones, or any entertainment programs... you will see someone only once every few days.
This can make people crazy with boredom and idleness. There is no electricity at night, and the most you can have is a flashlight, a miner's lamp, a candle or a big kang.
A moment later, as the car drove home, Ni Zhen told with bitter tears what kind of life he had lived before. Ni Ji and Huang Zhan still looked at each other and figured out the truth, but they... had nothing to say. .
Huang Zhan, who finally drove the car, sighed, "Forget it, suffering is a blessing. After suffering this loss, your eyes will have to be brightened in the future. It's also my fault, Lao Ni, for not guiding you to the right path in life. We didn't do it in the first place." I should have watched you spread rumors and slander Liu Ximing, but I didn’t stop you."
"Zeng Miewei can outrageously use the trick of sending HIV to dig a hole for Giordano Lisheng. We cannot afford to offend such a person."
Ni Zhen was also shocked, "Damn it, are you so cruel and inhumane? That person named Zeng..."
He was out of the sea of suffering. On the way back, he thought more than once that he would definitely ask Lao Dou, Uncle Huang, and Uncle Cha to help him express his anger after he came back.
He couldn't breathe out, he couldn't swallow it, and he would probably suffer from mental illness or depression. But before he got home, he heard Director Zeng's other achievements... Ni Zhen was numb, and he was really panicking and restless.
How can a human being be like this? This is too arrogant.
After finally returning home and having a super sumptuous dinner, Ni Zheng just walked out and received a call from a boy from Lian Le, "A Zhen, why don't you come out and play? Damn, I don't believe you can win every time." "
Ni Zhen's eyes lit up and he was a little moved.
It is said that after all, he has experienced a complete education. In the later period, when he was playing cards with a group of younger brothers from Lianle to kill time, he relied on his IQ to hone his good card skills.
When he didn't bet any chips, he won a lot. At that time, there was no bonus or anything like that if he won, but now he has money in his pocket.
………………
April 13, (beginning) crew.
When the director shouted "Ka" and prepared for the next line, Hong Xin quickly left the performance state and walked up to Lin Qingxia and said, "Sister Qingxia, I just bought the latest lipstick and facial mask from the Oriental series, do you want to try it?"
Lin Qingxia glanced at her unexpectedly, took the gift and said with a smile, "Good guy, are you trying to show your courtesy for nothing?"
The cast only started working on 15 episodes, and it is a very short TV series. Lin Qingxia occasionally guest-starred in the role of Director Lin. There were not many scenes. It has been more than a month since filming, and the script has entered the finalization stage.
As for Ah Xin, who plays the role of the female policewoman under her, Aunt Lin's feelings towards Hong Xin are average. She is just a new star among the juniors. Hong Xin doesn't play with her very much on a daily basis. She only communicates politely and normally.
.
She didn't expect that Hong Xin would suddenly show his attentiveness when the project was about to be finalized?
Hong Xin didn't hide anything and went straight to the topic, "I heard that Sister Qingxia, you are a master of mahjong? I asked you for help and apprenticeship. I have lost miserably in mahjong with Afen and the others these days."
Lin Qingxia is very obsessed with playing mahjong. The chess and card room in her home is decorated in a luxurious way. After hearing this, she was pleasantly surprised and said, "You also like to play mahjong? That's easy to say. When the game comes, I will call you to become a disciple or something."
If you are serious, just play together and you will understand as you play."
Hong Xin shook his head, "I'd better become a disciple, otherwise you won't teach me real kung fu, and I'll still be waiting to win it back on my own."
Lin Qingxia said in astonishment, "You and your friends are having a lot of fun?"
Hong Xin shook his head again, "No, we don't play with money directly. If we win or lose, we treat each other to dinner and shopping... By the way, we learn Cantonese, Mandarin or English from each other, but if we lose too much, we lose face. I feel like I have lost a lot of face."
Lin Qingxia listened even more happily, "Are you so obsessed with this game? That's not true. If you want to win back as soon as possible, then you can call me as a foreign aid."
Hong Xin still said good things and insisted on becoming a disciple. They were joking. They thought that Li Jiaxin would lose miserably and continued to beg the big boss to become a foreign aid. How could such a thing be possible to win over Lin Qingxia?
There are too many female fairies in the world...
Even if Lin Qingxia is asked to be a foreign aid, Director Zhao should not look down on someone who is too old... No, no, isn't Adjani able to negotiate big business occasionally with years of merit and hard work?
She is not stupid enough to attract enemies to herself.
Having a strong opponent like Winona Ryder is already very competitive. If someone like Jennifer Aniston or Christiana Yeri pops up, the pressure will already be huge, but this kind of thing
, she has also reached a consensus with Winona Ryder.
For example, when she rubbed Zhao Donghuai's instep and calf while playing mahjong, she would never tell anyone about it. She even kept it a secret from Ah Fen, and only Winona was rubbing the welfare with her.
I was stared at a few times last time and was a little frightened, but didn’t I receive a ban order?
……………………
On April 15, when Zhao Donghuai was in charge of ATV and learned about the (initial) completion of the film, he decisively asked ATV to hold a celebration banquet at Fulinmen. He also personally attended the event and drank a few glasses of wine with the creators.
This is a script he published, and it’s already mid-April. He’s not in a hurry to air it at first, but he wants to build momentum for (Source Code/Speed 2) to win the Hugo Award.
There's nothing wrong with him, the big boss, coming out to have a few drinks.
While a group of creative teams were eating, drinking, and laughing with him, a manager suddenly ran up to the door of the hall, smiled and said something to Mei Xiaoqing, and then Mei Xiaoqing came over and said, "Boss, there is a foreigner named Murdoch.
I came to visit and said that I wanted to buy the rights to broadcast some of our TV series in North America."
Murdoch? This is also one of the media giants who once had a battle of wits with his surname Zhao in the simulator.
Let’s not talk about how this old man from Australia develops in Europe and what brand he has in Kangaroo. Let’s just talk about the Fox TV Network in North America. It is a huge network formed by six major TV stations and more than 100 independent TV stations.
.
This covers the entire North American audience.
Similar to Goldman Sachs and William, they are acquiring more and more shares in the South Korean MBC TV network. Of course, one covers South Korea and the other covers North America, which are not the same series at all.
After Zhao Donghuai nodded, Mei Xiaoqing went out to greet him. He soon saw Lao Mo, who was less than 60 years old, coming with a 30-year-old Yangma.
Zhao Donghuai stepped forward with a smile and asked the waiter to come over with a tray to deliver the wine. When Lao Mo got a glass of red wine, he clinked the glasses and said with a smile, "Sheng Zhao, I came uninvited, which can be regarded as a favor to Mr. Zhao."
"I want to spend 1 million US dollars to buy out the first-round broadcast rights of the (Start) project in Europe and the United States, and then use 3 million US dollars to buy the production rights of the (Millionaire) variety show in Europe and the United States."
"I wonder how Mr. Zhao feels about this business?"
Lao Mo spoke in English, and Zhao Donghuai listened without any problems. He smiled and took a sip of wine, and then he said, "It's easy to talk to (at the beginning), and we can sign the contract directly. The rights to remake the variety show (Millionaire) are mine."
ATV still needs to consider it.”
Regarding TV drama copyrights, ATV's various major idol dramas have always been very popular in East and Southeast Asian countries, but in Europe and the United States... many times if you pay a small fee to send them over, the various TV stations or larger TV networks may not bother to pay attention to you.
This is a major idol drama that promotes various brand programs of Chinese people and their business potential to generate foreign exchange.
Was it once popular in Asia (Meteor Garden)? Because Mercedes-Benz, Rolls-Royce and other luxury car brands are seen in East and Southeast Asia, this TV series is really very profitable and can drive brand sales.
Amei's auto giant directly spent money and gave it to Columbia's CBS television network to broadcast the dubbed version (Meteor Garden) in one and two rounds, and then the ratings were mediocre and there was no splash at all.
On the contrary, CBS wanted to come to ATV to buy the remake rights of (Meteor Garden) after it was broadcast, but Zhao Donghuai ignored him.
To put it bluntly, under normal circumstances, if Zhao Donghuai sends money to a media tycoon, it is difficult to say whether the other party is interested in broadcasting the TV series project you produced.
Lao Mo made an offer to buy (the beginning), which is a sign of sincerity and goodwill.
Murdoch also took a sip of wine and said with a smile, "As long as there is intention, the negotiation can take place slowly... By the way, I want to acquire several newspapers and magazines on Hong Kong Island. I wonder how Zhao's business will go?"
Zhao Donghuai understood, so he just said, how could Lao Mo be so kind? Just want to enter the media industry in Hong Kong with 2 million US dollars?
He is not Mr. Li, who sells Phoenix TV and the like to Lao Mo just to make a little money.
Director Zhao laughed and said, "Okay, Lao Mo, you can come anytime you want. As long as you have money in the capital world, you don't have to ask me for my opinion in this regard. I definitely have no objection."
Lao Mo wants to come? It’s just that when he spent money to acquire and have fun, he was quietly ignored.
