In a lounge somewhere in Li's TV station, Wang Jingyi, Su Weichen, and Ou Jiande were sitting together. At this time, Wang Jingyi looked at the newspaper in his hand and was extremely angry.
"I thought I could get a jackpot for this film festival, but I didn't expect that Chu Huan would cause trouble again."
Su Weichen also looked angry and helpless.
Originally, after Chu Huan's short selling of English newspapers, the three of them thought that the matter should be over, and then they should report on the film festival all over the city. However, they did not expect that TVB under Chu Huan's name would actually do it again.
A TV station launched a recruitment war, which directly grabbed the headlines of major newspapers in Hong Kong.
And if they want to organize a film festival, they will naturally be placed in an inconspicuous place in the entertainment sector.
"You two, I don't think there's any need to be so angry. Good luck and bad luck depend on it. Now it seems that this matter is not all bad. If TVB didn't poach Lili, how could Huang Xizhao invite the three of us now?
I’m here to do an interview specifically for this issue!”
Ou Jiande smiled and preached.
When Wang Jingyi and Su Weichen heard what Ou Jiande said, the anger in their hearts was relieved.
Last night, the three of them received a call from Li's TV Station. They didn't know what happened at that time, but they were very happy to receive the invitation from Li's TV Station. After all, Li's TV Station is one of the two major TV stations in Hong Kong.
One of the TV stations, having their exclusive interview will not only improve the influence of the Xiangjiang Film Festival, but also better improve the influence of the Xiangjiang Film Festival.
"Yes, today is a personal interview with Huang Xizhao. I believe that when it is broadcast tonight, it will definitely attract the attention of the whole Hong Kong."
Su Weichen could only console himself in this way.
At this time, a TV station staff member walked in, holding an interview script in his hand. For interviews like this, there are always interview scripts in advance.
Not only now, but also in future generations!
"Three gentlemen, this is an interview with our station director about the three of you. You three can get familiar with it first!"
"Thank you!" Wang Jingyi took over the speech on behalf of the three of them.
The staff of Li's TV station walked out of the lounge with a smile.
Wang Jingyi gave the interview script to Su Weichen and Ou Jiande each had a copy!
"Hey, Huang Xizhao is really sharp this time. If these questions of his are broadcast, Chu Huan's reputation in Xiangjiang will really be compromised!"
After Su Weichen saw the interview script in his hand, the anger on his face suddenly disappeared, and there was only a smile.
When Wang Jingyi and Ou Jiande heard what Su Weichen said, they quickly looked at the interview scripts in their hands. After reading it, they both had smiles on their faces.
"Haha, this time we will let the people of Xiangjiang know what kind of person Chu Huan is!"
After Wang Jingyi read it, he also smiled and preached.
Ou Jiande sighed: "It seems that Huang Xizhao is really angry at Chu Huan this time."
Su Weichen chuckled and said: "That's for sure. Let me tell you, when I came here just now, I heard people outside saying that the male lead of "Big Sister and the Big Madman" did not come to the set today.
It really beats the rhythm of this TV series!"
Wang Jingyi sighed: "Oh, the world is getting worse. These artists, with their salaries from Li TV, openly breached the contract and did not participate in the filming of TV series for their own TV station. Once our film festival has gained influence in Hong Kong, we must restrain it."
Everyone should not do this kind of thing!"
Su Weichen immediately said: "Brother Wang is right. I think there are various artist unions in Hollywood. Why don't we wait until the Hong Kong Film Festival is held this time to discuss with the directors and actors and establish our Hong Kong Film Festival?"
My own director, the Actors Guild, as long as we people can unite the entertainment industry in Xiangjiang, what will happen to Chu Huan no matter how rich he is?
When there is no director or actors, I will see how he makes TV and movies!"
Wang Jingyi and Ou Jiande's eyes lit up when Su Weichen said this.
"Yes, this matter deserves careful discussion. After this interview is over, we should think about it carefully."
While the three of them were discussing, Huang Xizhao walked in with a smile on his face. Even though two more pillars were poached today, and even though Huang Xizhao's heart was filled with rage, he still wanted to
Maintain your own demeanor.
"It's been a long time, you three!"
Seeing Huang Xizhao come in, Wang Jingyi and the other three stopped their discussion. Although the three of them were well-known film commentators in Xiangjiang before, they didn't actually have much friendship with Huang Xizhao. They were more of just acquaintances, but this time
They stood together because of Chu Huan's behavior.
"Mr. Huang, long time no see."
Wang Jingyi also smiled and preached.
Huang Xizhao nodded and said: "You three, it's getting late. Let's review the script first and try to get it right in one go during the recording session?"
Naturally, Wang Jingyi and the others had no objections, so the four of them started reviewing the manuscript here.
An hour later, the four of them had finished reviewing the script, and the recording studio on the other side was all ready.
Huang Xizhao personally led Wang Jingyi and the three of them out of the lounge. After seeing Mai Fangxiong, he said to the staff of Li TV who were waiting there: "Bring the three of you into the studio first, I will be there soon!"
After Wang Jingyi and others left, Huang Xizhao asked Mai Tanxiong.
"What's the reply from Jiaku? Can we still talk about this matter?"
Even though four generals had been poached by TVB, and even though Huang Xizhao's lungs were about to explode last night and this morning, Huang Xizhao still didn't want to be an enemy of Chu Huan.
Without him, the price of being an enemy of Chu Huan was too high. Huang Xizhao was not sure whether he could catch Chu Huan's subsequent moves.
This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading! If we can reach an agreement with Chu Huan before doing this interview show, then Huang Xizhao will cancel this interview.
So when reviewing the manuscript with Wang Jingyi and others just now, Huang Xizhao ordered Mai Tanxiong to contact Jiaku and tell Jiaku his thoughts to see how Jiaku responded.
only......
What made Huang Xizhao feel helpless was Mai Tanxiong's answer.
"The call went to Xu Yi, general manager of Jiaku, and Xu Yi just told us that Jiaku does not accept any apology for being unable to decide his own behavior!"
This is a bit convoluted, but Huang Ximing and Bai Maidanxiong meant that Chu Huan knew about the situation of Li’s TV. Although he was the general manager of Li’s TV, there was also Bill Clifford next to Chu Huan’s.
What this means is that even though he has apologized, Bill Clifford can still use Li's TV platform to do something to slander Chu Huan.
So at this time, my apology and my request for peace were completely worthless to Chu Huan!
"Let's go!" Huang Xizhao sighed and said helplessly: "I never thought that one day I would be on the same side as Bill Clifford, a fool!"
Mai Tanxiong understood that Huang Xizhao was preparing to formally declare war on Chu Huan.
.
Chinese Bank, 70th floor!
Xu Yi sat opposite Chu Huan and said with a smile: "This Huang Xizhao is really interesting. While inviting Wang Jingyi, Su Weichen, and Ou Jiande for an exclusive interview, he also wants to show weakness to us and let Li's TV go. Who is he?
Where do you get the confidence to think that everything in this world should revolve around him?"
Huang Xizhao's plan to personally interview Wang Jingyi, Su Weichen and Ou Jiande within Li TV has not yet been announced to the public, but Xu Yi already knew about it in advance.
It can be seen that there are still people from the Jiaku Investigation Department at Li's TV station.
Chu Huan guessed what Huang Xizhao was thinking and said with a smile: "I guess Huang Xizhao is making his final struggle. If we agree to reconcile with Li's TV station, there will be no follow-up to this interview.
But if we refuse, then no matter what Huang Xizhao’s attitude towards Bill Clifford was before, they will stand together this time!”
Xu Yi said: "Boss, the investigation department did not get Huang Xizhao's interview transcript, but I think the four of them coming together will definitely attack you in addition to praising the film festival. Let's just
Watch them continue like this and then broadcast it on the TV station at night?"
Chu Huanxiao asked: "Then what do you think?"
Xu Yi said: "Manager Lin Feng found me just now. He asked me to tell you, the boss, that as long as you give the order, their security department guarantees that they can destroy their interview tape without anyone noticing."
Huang Xizhao's interview was either live broadcast or recorded. For Lin Feng and others, it would be extremely easy to destroy a videotape stored in Li's TV station.
Chu Huan waved his hand and said: "After destroying it this time, they can still record it again, and I believe that Lin Feng and the others will definitely not leave any evidence, but even so, anyone with a discerning eye will know that we did it
of.
Now is not the past. What we are doing now is to ensure the reputation of the company and myself. I will not do this kind of self-destructive thing!"
Xu Yi said worriedly: "Huang Xizhao just asked Mai Fangxiong to call him, and he said Jue Jue. It seems that he is very confident in his interview. We don't know the content of the interview. I'm worried that there will be
What big melon was exposed by them!"
Chu Huan was not worried at all, and said with a smile: "Huang Xizhao has been the general manager of Li TV Station for two years, but he has forgotten what is the most important thing for a TV station to attract viewers!"
Xu Yi didn't understand Chu Huan's meaning for a moment.
Chu Huan asked: "Let me ask you, if you were to take away your current position and you were just an ordinary person, do you know who Huang Xizhao is? Do you know who Wang Jingyi, Su Weichen, and Ou Jiande are?"
Xu Yi thought for a moment and said: "It's unlikely that we know."
Chu Huan said with a smile: "That's right, is it a talk show? The host is not known to the audience in front of the TV, nor is the protagonist being interviewed. This means that their program can only be in a niche range.
If it spreads in the circle, not many people will pay attention to it.”
Xu Yi understood what Chu Huan meant, but she also had her own ideas. She said: "Although the four of them are not well-known in the hearts of the general public, as long as this program starts to be broadcast, they will definitely bring you, boss, with them.
You have a huge influence in the hearts of the general public, so I think they can still drive ratings by taking advantage of this situation and popularity!"
"I feel very comfortable with your flattery, and I can use it often in the future!" Chu Huan said with a smile: "But you still overestimated my influence in the hearts of ordinary people in Hong Kong. It is true that many people admire me, but
As a talk show, it is actually an entertainment program in the final analysis.
The most important core of entertainment programs is actually the entertainment stars, not anything else!"
"Boss, I don't quite understand what you mean!" Xu Yi said.
Chu Huan smiled and said: "To put it bluntly, what happened this time is a competition between two or three business groups. Although the industry of this competition belongs to the entertainment industry, the picture he presented is of the nature of business. What in Xiangjiang?"
What kind of business news attracts attention?
It's a stock market crash or a bull market. These matters that affect the pockets of ordinary people are what the ordinary people are most concerned about, and this is what attracts them to the TV.
But if it’s not for these, then they will only watch something new and won’t actually sit in front of the TV to watch it!”
Xu Yi suddenly realized, but had new worries, and said: "The announcement released by Li's TV station is that this program will be broadcast at 9:30 tonight. At that time, TVB's prime time has just ended. Can it be broadcast at that time?"
People who watch TV basically don’t have too many choices. According to the past ratings, Li’s TV can get at least 35% of the ratings. If TVB doesn’t make any new moves, their
topic, it is very likely to increase the ratings to about 50%, then in fact their goal has been achieved!"
Chu Huan asked: "Has their program playlist been released?"
Xu Yi said: "After we rejected Huang Xizhao's peace proposal, I think the other party will release their program list soon!"
Chu Huan said: "Call Li Xiaohe, Fang Jianhui, and Zheng Donghan respectively and ask them to come up!"
Xu Yi nodded and said: "Yes!"
After the three phone calls, Zheng Donghan was the first to come to Chu Huan's office because Youyu Records itself was located in Chinatown.
Zheng Donghan is the general manager of Youyu Records.
Everyone may be unfamiliar with this person, but everyone still knows his son, Zheng Zhongji, who sang "Rascal" and is known as one of the princes of the Hong Kong entertainment industry.
Zheng Donghan played in a band with Thai Robin in the early days. Later, it merged with Youyu Records into Black and White Media, and Zheng Donghan was hired as the general manager of Youyu Records.
"Chairman!"
After Zheng Donghan saw Chu Huan, he spoke politely.
"Donghan sit down!" Chu Huan said with a smile: "Youyu Records is flourishing under your leadership, and it is doing well!"
Zheng Donghan quickly smiled and said: "This is all your credit, Chairman. If you hadn't acquired PolyGram and invested in TVB, we wouldn't have been able to be as successful as we are now."
Chu Huan said with a smile: "I just did some big things, and you did the specific things, so you don't have to be modest. The company has always made rewards and punishments clear, and you don't have to be modest when rewards are due.
"
Zheng Donghan smiled and said: "If that's the case, then I won't be polite."
As for what the reward was, Chu Huan didn't say it, and Zheng Donghan didn't ask. Each branch of the Jiaku Department has its own set of reward rules.
The highest reward for branch general managers is naturally to increase their performance share.
The general manager of each Jiaku branch has a share of the profits of his own branch. The only difference is the proportion of the share.
Moreover, this matter is kept strictly confidential. No one knows except Chu Huan and Xu Yi.
Moreover, there are strict profit requirements for their share increase. If the commission is achieved, the commission will be increased, and if it is not achieved, the commission will be reduced.
When the commission disappears, it actually means that the position of general manager of this branch has come to an end.
The floor is 0.2% and the ceiling is 10%.
But in order to ensure that the general manager of each branch can always have sufficient motivation and not rest on his personal credit book to enjoy happiness, in addition to the decline in the share of revenue, there is also the fact that as of now, there is no such general manager
You can get 10% of the share.
In addition, in addition to the general manager’s profit sharing, there is also the management’s profit sharing.
To put it simply, the profit share of a branch company, including the general manager, and the share of the entire management team is as high as 20%, but the same as above, there is no profit share of any branch company that can reach this level.
In addition, these people only have profit sharing and no equity sharing. The equity is still firmly in Chu Huan's hands.
What Chu Huan is telling Zheng Donghan now is actually telling Zheng Donghan that at the company's annual meeting this year, the increase in his profit sharing will be discussed at the high-level meeting.
At the same time, this profit sharing rule also includes shares for some special projects. Large projects such as Zhulu Real Estate, Huaye City, and Zhulu Commercial Center all have separate profit sharing, but the conditions will be more stringent.
"Who are the singers who have no activities in the company today?"
Chu Huan asked Zheng Donghan directly.
Zheng Donghan did not hesitate and said directly: "Xu Guanjie, Xu Xiaofeng, Luo Wen, Gu Xiaomei, Lin Zixiang and others have no activities today."
Chu Huan nodded and said: "I will send them a notice when I return to the company and tell them that there is a party that they need to attend tonight."
Zheng Donghan was stunned for a moment. The ones he just mentioned are all the most popular singers in Xiangjiang now. To bring these people together to organize an event, this kind of thing should be done at least two or three months in advance. Now he is doing this.
Bian received the notice in the morning and didn't even have time to prepare?
Just when Zheng Donghan wanted to ask, Li Xiaohe came to Chu Huan's office.
"Director Chu!"
"Leon!"
After Li Xiaohe sat down, he asked Chu Huan: "Director Chu, what's the matter with calling me here in such a hurry?"
Chu Huan said with a smile: "I wonder if there are any changes to TVB's program list tonight?"
Li Xiaohe said: "No, normal programs!"
Animation, news, TV series, news, evening TV series, early morning movies, this is basically TVB's program list for one night.
If it's Friday, there will be TVB's flagship program "Happy Tonight".
Chu Huan said: "What if I want TVB to hold a large-scale party that brings together most of Hong Kong's entertainment stars after the news program ends tonight?"
This was the way Chu Huan came up with to deal with Huang Xizhao's talk show.
Count the stars, watch the stars.
Why do so many movies in later generations like to have numerous celebrity guest appearances? It's because the celebrities themselves are the most curious thing that attracts the curiosity of the audience in front of the big TV screen.
On one side are the boring chats of four big men, and on the other side are the performances of most celebrities in Hong Kong. Even if you vote with your feet, you can think of the audience in front of the TV, and they will put their target on which TV station.
"Impossible, this is impossible!"
Li Xiaohe immediately raised objections to Chu Huan's suggestion and expressed Zheng Donghan's worries just now.
"Director Chu, it takes at least three months to prepare for a large-scale entertainment show. You are telling me now that it will be broadcast at night. This is impossible, and I can guarantee that the entire show will definitely be broadcast.
There are so few stage incidents, this is not for the audience in Xiangjiang to watch the party, but to watch everyone make a fool of themselves!"
Chu Huan didn't have any worries about Li Xiaohe and said with a smile.
This chapter is not over, please click on the next page to continue reading! "This is the stage effect I want. To put it simply, for this party, I only need a few high-level hosts, and everything else is the best."
A true show means that the entire Xiangjiang audience can see the most realistic performance of an artist. It doesn’t matter if the singing is off-key or the performance is bad. I just want them to appear on the TV during this time!"
Li Xiaohe was stunned. He subconsciously felt that Chu Huan was just messing around. There had never been such a situation in the history of live TV broadcasts in Hong Kong and the world.
But soon, he discovered that what Chu Huan was talking about seemed to be a gimmick.
Entertainment star?
In a nutshell, isn’t it just entertainment?
Why is "Happy Tonight" so popular? Isn't it because there are so many celebrities, and celebrities always make mistakes on stage, causing the audience in front of the TV to burst into laughter?
"It may be feasible, but there are still many problems!" Li Xiaohe finally said.
"What's the problem?" Chu Huan asked.
"The enthusiasm of artists and the subjectivity of the party. In the past, whether artists participated in talk shows or variety shows, they actually participated with the purpose of promoting their new works. With a purposeful trend and advance planning,
Everyone can express themselves very well, but this time it is purely a temporary promotion.
Then it is difficult to guarantee the enthusiasm of these people on stage. Maybe even if some people don’t want to, their behavior is just coping. If this is the case, it will be difficult to guarantee the quality of the program!"
Li Xiaohe expressed his professional opinions.
Chu Huan pondered for a moment and said: "In this way, let the company open 50 hotlines, preview the party in the news column tonight, and tell the audience in front of the TV that watching tonight is a reward, but
Anyone who calls to support their favorite star will finally select the most popular star, and the star himself will receive a reward of 1 million Hong Kong dollars. All other artists participating in the party will each receive a reward of 100,000 Hong Kong dollars. In addition,
From the group of viewers who called who liked this star, three grand prize winners were randomly selected, with the first prize being 1 million, the second prize being 500,000, and the third prize being 300,000!"
"Do you want to give me money?" Li Xiao suddenly became stingy.
This program was organized by Chu Huan at short notice, and it was impossible to recruit any advertisers, which meant that TVB had to take the money itself.
Li Xiaohe's stinginess was no less stingy than Shao Yifu's. He temporarily changed the broadcast program that night. The expenses and losses for such a big party were at least millions, and the participating artists all had 100,000 yuan.
The reward, and the final grand prize, even if each artist only has five minutes, is still 6.4 million Hong Kong dollars. Add in the audience award, and the expenditure tonight will be almost 10 million...
Li Xiaohe felt heartbroken.
"TVB does not need to pay for this money, I will pay for it myself!" Chu Huan understood Li Xiaohe's worries, so he gave Li Xiaohe a reassurance.
I made nearly 300 million by shorting those English newspaper companies, but now I don’t know how to spend it.
Li Xiaohe's expression changed immediately when he heard that he didn't have to take the money himself. Now he has some confidence in this party. Maybe it might become a miracle in the history of live television!
To put it bluntly, you don’t have to spend money yourself...
Take your bet!
Anyway, Chu Huan is the major shareholder of TVB, so there is nothing he can do even if he disagrees.
"Okay, I will ask the company to prepare this matter now, and try to make this party a sensation throughout Hong Kong." Now that the decision has been made, Li Xiaohe also knows that time is running out.
But when he stood up, he suddenly asked Chu Huan: "Then our party should have a theme, right?"
Chu Huan said with a smile: "Play! Play is the theme of this live broadcast party. Let the participating artists have fun, let the audience watching the show have fun, and it makes me happy too!"
Li Xiaohe nodded and said: "I understand!"
Seeing that Chu Huan and Li Xiaohe had already discussed it, Zheng Donghan naturally had no objections. He got up and prepared to return to the company to invite these idle artists to TVB to attend tonight's play-themed party.
At this time, Fang Jianhui, who was farthest away, arrived belatedly. After Xu Yi took the place of Chu Huan and told Fang Jianhui what had just been decided, Fang Jianhui immediately preached.
"Chairman, there is no problem with our black and white images. I will go back now and let the artists prepare to go."
Li Xiaohe, who was about to leave, said: "Should we also let the Shaw Brothers artists prepare?"
Xu Yi was worried at this time and said: "Is there too many people? Can't we accommodate so many artists in four and a half hours?"
Counting five minutes per person, that's 54 artists, but these people present can basically determine the entire entertainment industry in Hong Kong.
Chu Huan laughed and said: "Control it to less than 60 artists. No one has at least 5 minutes of performance time. You can take care of the rest!"
Before Li Xiaohe left, he couldn't help but say to Chu Huan one last time: "Director Chu, if this thing succeeds, it will become a miracle in the history of world live television!"
