"It's not that he is an absolute high-level person. I want him to be the assistant director of TVB's Variety Show Department. However, this person has landed in TVB. Moreover, this person also knows the chairman, so I need to tell you, the chairman!"
Liang Risi sat opposite Chu Huan and answered seriously.
Chu Huan showed a hint of interest and asked: "Who is he? I still know him, or is he parachuted in? Is he from our company?"
Liang Risi shook his head and said: "I was not in Jiaku before. I only occasionally made guest appearances in black and white movies. This person is called Chen Boxiang!"
"Chen Baixiang?" Chu Huan immediately knew why Liang Risi said that he knew him too, but didn't he know him? When he was planning to deal with the fat man Kun, he used Chen Baixiang, but there was no contact with him afterwards, so he didn't expect this person.
Now he is actually taken seriously by Liang Risi.
Chu Huan smiled and said: "The promotion is because I know him?"
Liang Risi nodded without hesitation and said: "There is indeed this reason, but the other reason is that I have been in contact with this person. He is indeed a very smart person and has some own ideas about variety shows, so I thought of letting him
Come up and try it!”
Liang Risi knew about Chen Baixiang because of his old friend Tan Yonglin.
The Wenner band that Tan Yonglin belongs to has not been disbanded yet. It is the most famous band in Hong Kong, so it often comes to TVB to do some programs.
After completing his cooperation with Chu Huan, Chen Baixiang took the reward given by Chu Huan to pay off his debts, and then went to Somalia to sell all the clothes in his inventory. As a result, he was caught by pirates.
But Chen Baixiang was able to use his sharp tongue to do business with pirates in real life.
After selling all his inventory, Chen Baixiang ended his clothing business. Recently, he was bored at home alone.
Upon seeing this, his old friend Tan Yonglin took Chen Baixiang to join the entertainment industry. He would also bring Chen Baixiang with him when there were some activities.
In the past two days, while TVB was recording programs, I was met by Liang Risi, who was inspecting various program groups. At that time, Chen Baixiang was complaining to Tan Yonglin about the poor performance of TVB's variety shows.
As a young man, he always likes to express himself. At that time, Tan Yonglin was bored and teasing Chen Baixiang, so he asked what he should do if he was asked to be the producer of TVB's variety show department.
Chen Baixiang was not afraid and directly expressed some of his ideas, which happened to be heard by Liang Risi, so Liang Risi took the idea of Xicai and took the initiative to show up to talk to them. During the conversation, Chen Baixiang was even more attracted by Chen Baixiang.
Attractive wit.
Later, Liang Risi used his connections to ask people from the investigation department to investigate Chen Baixiang's experience, and then he found out that Chen Baixiang actually knew his chairman... although he didn't know why the two met.
But no matter how much Liang Risi thinks highly of Chen Baixiang, Chen Baixiang is just a little-known person in this circle after all. He wants to directly transfer him to the top of TVB. This makes those people who are not satisfied with Liang Risi's parachuting to TVB even more opposed. So Liang Risi today
He took the initiative to find Chu Huan.
If Chu Huan came forward in this matter, then there would be no worries in this regard.
Chu Huan also understood Liang Risi's thoughts and said with a smile: "I do know Chen Baixiang, but I can't come forward in this matter. If I come forward, the entire company will be more hostile and contemptuous towards you. If you really
If you like his abilities, you can start a variety show for him. If the ratings are acceptable, then you can promote him to a senior position. I believe it will be more convincing!"
Liang Ri thought for a moment and said awkwardly: "Chairman, I took it for granted and didn't think about it!"
Chu Huan waved his hand and said with a smile: "You put too much pressure on yourself. You have to eat one bite at a time and do everything one by one. Since I asked you to be in charge of TVB, it means that you are
Those who have the ability to occupy this position are just pushing themselves too hard now, so they have such an idea. But in fact, your idea is also good.
Nowadays, the forces within TVB have taken shape. As an airborne leader, you will definitely be squeezed by the old-school forces within TVB. This is certain. If you want to start work, you need to rely on those people poached from Li TV.
At the same time, he also needs to have his own confidants in Taiwan.
Now that the old school has taken shape, let’s look for some newcomers, and you may find unexpected gains!”
Liang Risi said to Chu Huan seriously: "Thank you, Chairman, I will seriously consider it!"
Chu Huan nodded and said with a smile: "Well, go get busy!"
Liang Risi nodded and left.
After Liang Risi left, Wu Shuhan came to Chu Huan's office and said: "Boss, when you were talking to Manager Liang just now, Mr. Shao called and wanted to invite you to meet at the Peninsula Cafe in the afternoon!"
Chu Huan asked: "What are my plans for the afternoon?"
After Wu Shuhan informed Chu Huan of Chu Huan's arrangement, Chu Huan thought for a moment and said, "Put off the meeting with Li Fushu of the Bank of East Asia. Tell Mr. Shao that I am free at three o'clock in the afternoon!"
Since the Bank of East Asia entered the Li Fushu era, Chu Huan's cooperation with them has decreased a lot. This made Li Fushu very anxious, so he kept making appointments with Chu Huan. Chu Huan had already met him once before, but he did not strengthen cooperation with the Bank of East Asia.
, this obviously does not satisfy Li Fushu.
.
Afternoon, Peninsula Hotel Cafe.
"Uncle Six, I'm not late today!"
After Chu Huan arrived at the coffee shop, he was led by the waiter to where Shao Yifu was.
Shao Yifu smiled and said: "I came early."
After Chu Huan sat down, Shao Yifu directly explained to Chu Huan his intention to invite Chu Huan to come and sit down.
"Ah Huan, what do you think of the invitation sent by the Film and Television Department?"
The Xiangjiang Film Festival hosted by the Xiangjiang Film and Television Office has sent invitations to Chu Huan and Shao Yifu.
Chu Huan smiled disdainfully: "How else can I look at it, slap in the face and show off my muscles!"
Yifu Shao said: "Now almost all artists, directors, screenwriters, etc. in Hong Kong have received invitations from the Hong Kong Film Festival, and have basically agreed to their invitations. It seems that Wang Jingyi and others have really begun to expand at this time.
"
Shao Yifu, who knew Chu Huan's plan at that time, still had a sense of ridicule when he said this.
Chu Huan smiled and said: "Watch him build a tall building, watch him entertain guests, watch his building collapse, if you don't do something, you won't die. Since those people want to fight, then let's fight."
They should be told who has the final say in the Hong Kong film industry!"
At this time, Shao Yifu couldn't help but remind Chu Huan: "Ah Huan, I don't think this matter needs to be done so rigorously. If we find David Patterson at this time and explain the pros and cons, I think
The other party will definitely give in!"
Chu Huan did not answer Shao Yifu's question, but asked: "Uncle Liu wants to back down?"
Shao Yifu chuckled and said: "To be honest, Ah Huan, your plan is too ruthless. If it really fails, the relationship between us and the Film and Television Department will be completely antagonistic. The other party will be defeated this time.
I will always look for opportunities to make amends in the future."
Shao Yifu is an old-school businessman. When matters do not involve his own fundamental interests, Shao Yifu still adheres to the principle of making money by being friendly and not fighting with officials for reputation.
This matter is getting bigger and bigger now. It is obvious that if Chu Huan's plan is to be implemented in the end, then the Shaw brothers will be completely black and white with Chu Huan in the eyes of the Hong Kong government.
We stand together. Such a situation is not in line with Shao Yifu's interests.
Chu Huan said with a smile: "So, Uncle Six, are you planning to compromise with the Film and Television Department? Are you willing to accept the Film and Television Department's manipulation of the filming share of Class 3 movies in the future?"
Shao Yifu looked stern. He just said that Shao Yifu now wants to reconcile with Xiangjiang Film and Television Office because Xiangjiang Film and Television Office has not harmed the interests of the Shaw Brothers. But what Chu Huan just said seems to have infringed on the interests of the Shaw Brothers.
Already.
"Ah Huan, what is the share, can you explain it in detail?"
Chu Huan said: "Everything in the world is for profit, and everything in the world is for profit, and the Xiangjiang Film and Television Department is no exception. The Hong Kong film market has been getting better and better year by year in recent years. The Film and Television Department has watched these film companies making profits one by one.
How can they not be jealous of the huge amount of money they receive? It seems that this fight is against our black and white images, but in fact it is against the entire Hong Kong film industry.
Now that the film classification system is being introduced, what if they introduce a film share system after launching this system? According to their regulations, Hong Kong can only release a certain number of 3-level films every year. After this number exceeds, if your film company
The movie has been rated as a Category 3 film, what should I do then?
Should this movie not be released, or should we seek help from the Film and Television Administration, then they can launch a payment model, where the film company will hand over part of the money, and then the Film and Television Administration will give the green light..."
The incident Chu Huan talked about was not a groundless attempt to scare Shao Yifu, but something that really existed in another time and space.
In another time and space, after the Xiangjiang Film and Television Office launched the film classification system, it immediately launched a film share plan and directly participated in the act of sharing the cake of the Xiangjiang film market.
Shao Yifu's expression became more solemn as he listened to Chu Huan's description, and he confirmed to Chu Huan: "Ah Huan, where did you learn about this?"
At this time, the first thing Shao Yifu had to determine was whether what Chu Huan said was true.
Chu Huan smiled and said: "Of course I have my own channels, now it's up to Uncle Six whether you are willing to believe me or not!"
Shao Yifu pondered for a moment and said decisively: "The film market in Xiangjiang still needs to be decided by us real filmmakers. Those laymen should just stand outside and watch honestly!"
Chu Huan said: "I think so too."
After the two reached a consensus on this matter, Shao Yifu talked about the second thing about inviting Chu Huan to come over this time.
"Ah Huan, when do you think it is the most appropriate time for me to take action against Li's TV?"
Since Shao Yifu has decided to acquire Li's TV, he naturally has his own investigation. Now he also wants to hear Chu Huan's thoughts.
"Uncle Six, aren't you asking me to do my best in front of you?" Chu Huan said modestly: "Uncle Six, you probably have your own overall plan now, right?"
Shao Yifu smiled reservedly and said, "Although I have some ideas of my own, I still want to hear your opinion, Ah Huan?"
Chu Huan thought for a moment and said, "I remember that December is the advertising and investment conference for Li's TV, right?"
Shao Yifu nodded and said: "That's right!"
"Lei's TV has suffered a serious brain drain in the past month, and its program ratings have been bleak. In addition, now that Mai Fangxiong and Xiao Ruoyuan have left TVB, it can be said that the vitality of Lei's TV has been seriously damaged. Originally, they wanted to use the Hong Kong Film Festival to
They can do something to improve the ratings, but as soon as our plan starts, their idea is destined to be aborted.
If this is the case, Li TV will definitely get nothing at the advertising investment conference in December. At that time, Li TV will definitely be very dissatisfied with Li TV, so in my opinion, waiting for Li TV in December
After the advertising investment conference is over, it’s the best time to start.”
Chu Huan analyzed.
Shao Yifu nodded and said with a smile on his face: "We have thought about it together, but there is something I really need to ask for your help, Ah Huan!"
Chu Huan looked at Shao Yifu and said, "Uncle Six, I have no objection to lending him to someone, but there is one person who I absolutely cannot lend to you!"
After Lai TV was taken over by Shaw Yifu, it was definitely riddled with problems and was in need of improvement. But no matter what kind of problems it encountered, the first thing that needed to be solved was the series production of Lai TV.
Although Li's TV has not been hollowed out by TVB, to be honest, there are not many artists who can compete. Therefore, if Shao Yifu wants to revive Li's TV's ratings, or even compete with TVB, then
There needs to be a series of high-quality TV series launched.
A high-quality TV series is not just a matter of the artist. For the TV series circle in Hong Kong, the most important thing is actually the producer and screenwriter.
Now Shao Yifu and Chu Huan are still in the honeymoon period of their cooperation. Chu Huan doesn't want Li's TV to end like this. After all, TVB of later generations has already taught a lesson.
TVB, which lost its competitors, fell into endless infighting, resulting in lackluster programs. Although there were also impacts from the Internet on traditional TV stations, what really caused TVB's decline was that they had no direct competitors.
But when a company has no competitors and its leaders start to rest on their laurels again, the company is not far away from decline.
Therefore, Chu Huan also hopes that TVB can always have an opponent to spur him forward. Otherwise, under his control, TVB will most likely enter this period early.
However, this does not mean that Chu Huan will support Shao Yifu without any bottom line. He should still hold back his hand.
Shao Yifu said: "I hope the person I borrowed is not the person you mentioned, Ah Huan."
Chu Huan said: "It shouldn't be Wang Tianlin, right?"
Wang Tianlin is actually more important to TVB than many TVB executives. The reason why TVB was able to dominate the TV field in Hong Kong in the 1980s was because of a series of TV series produced by Wang Tianlin.
"Book and Sword Enmity", "Lu Xiaofeng Series", "Xiao Shiyilang", "The Legend of Chu Liuxiang", "The King of Thousand Kings", "A Spring Dream in Beijing", "Love is Always in Love", "The Legend of the Condor Heroes", "The Legend of the Condor Heroes", etc.
Waiting for a series of TV series, it can be said that Wang Tianlin represented the ratings in the 1980s.
In another time and space, after Shao Yifu officially took over TVB from Li Xiaohe, Wang Tianlin has been Shao Yifu's right-hand man.
Therefore, Chu Huan would definitely not agree to lend Wang Tianlin to Shao Yifu.
After all, this borrowing is like Liu Bei borrowing from Jingzhou and never repaying it!
"It's really Tianlin!" Shao Yifu said with a smile: "Ah Huan, you also know that I am nostalgic. When Tianlin was at Dianmao, I already admired Tianlin's talent very much. Now if he
If I can come to Li's TV to help me, Li's TV can develop again in the shortest time. Now TVB is full of talents, so it doesn't matter if one Tianlin is missing!"
Chu Huan shook his head and said: "Uncle Six, if it were anyone else, I would definitely have no objection, but Director Wang is definitely not the same. You value this person, and so do I."
Shao Yifu asked with a wry smile: "Is it really not possible?"
"No!" Chu Huan said firmly.
"Forget it, since Ah Huan you are so determined, I can't say anything else. Since Tianlin can't do it, then Cai Heping should have no problem, right?"
Shao Yifu made a helpless expression.
Chu Huan was stunned for a moment, then couldn't help laughing and said: "Uncle Six, you are setting a trap for me in advance."
Cai Heping was unknown in later generations, and few people knew his name. But in fact, during this period, Cai Heping was very famous. Just being the creator of "Happy Tonight" was enough for Cai Heping to leave a mark in the history of Hong Kong movies.
Next deal!
Shao Yifu just proposed Wang Tianlin, but Chu Huan firmly rejected him. Now he mentioned Cai Heping. According to the current cooperative relationship between the two parties, Chu Huan really couldn't refuse Shao Yifu anymore. In fact, this is why Chu Huan just said that Shao Yifu had set him up.
s reason.
Shao Yifu said unabashedly: "There is no way, I always have to use some tricks when dealing with you, Ah Huan."
Chu Huan thought for a moment and said: "As long as Cai Heping has no objections, I will agree to release him!"
In another time and space, Cai Heping had already left TVB in 1974.
After leaving TVB, Cai Heping did not join any company, but chose to start his own business. He successively founded Cai Heping Production Co., Ltd., Cai Heping TV Studio, Cai Heping Film and Video Studio Co., Ltd., Film and Television Center, Film and Television Publishing Co., Ltd. and Cai Heping Huaguo Trading Company.
, and established the Singapore branch of Cai Heping Production Company in Singapore, with himself serving as the managing director.
But in this time and space, because of Chu Huan's existence, Xiangjiang's entertainment industry has already undergone earth-shaking changes, and Cai Heping has not left TVB, and is still the manager of TVB's production department.
However, such people are destined not to stay in one place for too long. Chu Huan believes that even if Cai Heping joins Li TV after the acquisition by Shaw Yifu, he will leave after working for a period of time.
When Shao Yifu asked to take Cai Heping away, he actually wanted to replicate the success of "Happy Tonight".
It is true that the success of a TV series can greatly improve the TV station's ratings in a certain period of time, but the length of TV series is limited. There are hundreds of episodes of TV series, but not many.
But a successful variety show is different. In an entertainment environment like Xiangjiang, where artists don’t have many choices, variety shows can be guaranteed to be broadcast all year round.
For example, "Happy Tonight" is a variety show that opened up a huge audience for TVB.
Shao Yifu also took a fancy to this, so he wanted to bring Cai Heping to Li's TV to produce a variety show similar to "Happy Tonight".
Seeing that Chu Huan agreed to his request, Shao Yifu immediately smiled and said: "Then we have made a gentleman's agreement now!"
This chapter is not finished yet, please click on the next page to continue reading the exciting content! Chu Huan nodded and said: "No problem!"
Shao Yifu's expression at this time was obviously even more joyful, and he said: "Since this is the case, then I will talk about the third thing."
Chu Huanxiao asked: "Uncle Sixth still wants to borrow someone, right?"
Shao Yifu smiled and said: "I won't borrow it anymore, let's wait until the time comes!"
The ambiguous answer actually shows Shao Yifu's attitude. Cai Heping is too important, so Shao Yifu must make a decision in advance now. As for the other people, when he really takes over Li's TV, he will definitely follow him.
TVB has some competitions.
However, Chu Huan doesn't care about this. As long as it is healthy competition, Chu Huan welcomes it with both hands. As I said before, only with competition can progress be achieved!
"This third matter is actually a matter of Jiayi TV Station!" Shao Yifu said to Chu Huan with a smile.
"In my opinion, with a population of five million in Xiangjiang, two TV stations are enough. If there is one more, it will seem a bit bloated. Ah Huan, what do you think of this matter?"
Chu Huan nodded and said: "I agree with what you said, Uncle Liu. Two TV stations in Xiangjiang are enough. If there are more, it will easily cause unnecessary trouble."
What unnecessary trouble?
Neither Chu Huan nor Shao Yifu said it, but they both understood that with more TV stations, there would be more choices for artists. In the past, there were only two TV stations, TVB and Li's TV, and there were not many choices for artists in Xiangjiang.
If you choose, then the rules are determined by these two TV stations.
But if there are more TV stations, artists will have more choices, and they will naturally have more say. When the three TV stations jump around repeatedly, they can make requests to the TV stations at will.
This is unacceptable to the TV station.
As an artist, just make money for the TV station honestly. It is not good to think too much about unrealistic things.
Seeing that Chu Huan agreed with his opinion, Shao Yifu said with a smile: "Then Ah Huan, do you have any opinion on this matter?"
Chu Huan said with a smile: "Struggle with grass and hunt rabbits. Jiayi TV thinks that taking Zhou Liang Shuyi and others away can boost Jiayi TV's ratings. It also wants to work with Li TV to broadcast the Xiangjiang Film Festival. I want to give this TV station
Jiayi TV will definitely invest a lot in the party, right?"
Shao Yifu said with a smile: "I think so too. I'll pour cold water on them first and wait for the rest. I think it will be easier to handle. I heard recently that Zhou Liang Shuyi is in contact with Jin Yong and wants to buy Jin Yong's name. I don’t think the next martial arts drama is worse than the two of you and I jointly putting pressure on Jin Yong..."
Chu Huan waved his hand and said: "Uncle Six, I don't think this is good. The investment in martial arts dramas is higher than that in modern dramas. In addition, if it is a remake, an extra part of the copyright fee will definitely be used.
After He Zuozhi founded Jiayi TV Station, he has not made much profit. Even He Zuozhi has made a lot of money from his investments over the years. But after all, he is not his father, and he has not really inherited much of He Dong's wealth, so he can only treat him as
Only after losing money will you really feel distressed."
Shao Yifu thought for a while and nodded: "This is the truth, but Zhou Liang Shuyi is still a person with some ability. If she is really allowed to produce a few TV series with high ratings, it is really possible for Jiayi TV Station to stand firm.
Heel."
Chu Huan said nonchalantly: "I want to make Shou Liang Shuyi succeed. I have seen Shou Liang Shuyi's experience in TVB before. This woman is good at producing TV series and projects with big scenes and grand backgrounds. As long as Shou Liang Shouyi works in Jiashi's
If the first project is successful, we will inevitably develop multiple large projects on multiple fronts in order to promote the development of Jiayi TV Station. Then it is time for us to take action."
The simultaneous execution of multiple large-scale projects represents a massive investment of cash.
No one can say whether He Zuozhi, the illegitimate son, has the funds, or whether he has the courage to follow Zhou Liang Shuyi in such a huge gamble.
But if TVB and Li TV take action at the same time, the result will be certain.
Either He Zuozhi temporarily retreated, but at that time he must have invested a lot, and the loss was doomed!
Either He Zuozhi bites the bullet, and that doesn't matter. Chu Huan and Shao Yifu are currently ruling the entire entertainment industry in Xiangjiang. When the time comes, they will jointly block it.
Jiayi TV Station may not have any available artists by then.
It’s hard for a clever woman to make a meal without rice, not to mention that Zhou Liang Shuyi’s rank has not yet reached the level of a clever woman!
Shao Yifu just thought about it briefly and figured out Chu Huan's plan. He was going to pull the plug on Jiayi TV Station!
"If you are running a good radio station, why do you have to get into the TV field?" Shao Yifu sighed.
Chu Huan chuckled. He was actually not targeting He Zuozhi, but Zhou Liang Shuyi. If Zhou Liang Shuyi left TVB at another time, Chu Huan would not take her to heart at all.
But she just left TVB when the TV fight between her and Li was intense, no matter what she thought in her heart.
What is certain is that such behavior gives outsiders the impression that it is deliberately targeting Chu Huan.
Faced with such a provocation, Chu Huan has not taken any action, which does not mean that Chu Huan has forgotten the matter.
It's just that Chu Huan didn't have time to deal with this matter before.
No one can treat Chu Huan like this and still gain fame and wealth without any harm!
