639, Xiangjiang Jiakus performance and development (Part 2)
TVB is the focus of public opinion for Chu Huan throughout Southeast Asia. Chu Huan will definitely not let him embark on the path of another time and space. Therefore, even though it is only the beginning stage of TVB, for Chu Huan, it is already necessary to provide TVB with the future
The development of China is looking for a broader path.
One way is to find a way for TVB to enter the home market in advance, and the second way is to let it have absolute influence in the entire Southeast Asia in advance.
And this is not just something that classic TV series can do.
Classic TV series are a powerful tool for TVB to enter other Southeast Asian countries, but they cannot be the only ones.
So Chu Huan came up with the idea of starting a satellite TV.
However, the current technology is not mature yet, so we still have to put this idea aside and slowly wait for the technology to mature.
"If Zheng Shaoxuan wants to leave, just leave. His relationship with Feifei and Feifei's relationship with Shao Yifu are not comparable to ours. However, after Zheng Shaoxuan leaves, the company should immediately introduce a replacement artist. Only in this way can we
The losses are minimized!”
After Chu Huan thought about these things, he preached to Liang Risi.
Liang Risi smiled slightly and said, "Fortunately, TVB hired a lot of people from Li TV before. Looking at it this way, we actually made a profit."
Those people who were recruited from Li TV before were basically recruited by Liang Risi. Those people who wanted to gain a foothold in TVB naturally became Liang Risi's confidants.
"By the way, Yifu Shao has taken over Li's TV, how is Huang Xizhao doing?"
Chu Huan asked Liang Risi that Huang Xizhao was the general manager of Li's TV before. According to Shao Yifu's character, Huang Xizhao would definitely not be allowed to hold an important position in Li's TV again. In addition, Fang Yihua, Shao Yifu's confidante, also
I will definitely look for more things that are beneficial to me in this matter.
Liang Risi said: "Huang Xizhao has sold his shares in Li TV to Shao Yifu, and has resigned from the position of general manager of Li TV. He is now idle at home!"
Chu Huan pondered for a moment, he wanted to recruit Huang Xizhao to TVB.
As an absolute giant in the field of Xiangjiang TV, Huang Xizhao is still very capable. If it were not for the fact that the internal factional struggle of Li TV is too fierce, and the head office of Li TV, Li Voice only regards Li TV as a
At the cash machine, Li TV is definitely capable of competing with TVB under the leadership of Huang Xizhao.
It's just that Liang Risi has just straightened out the internal affairs of TVB. If Huang Xizhao is introduced to TVB at this time, it will only bring greater factional struggle to TVB.
Chu Huan never cared about factional struggles. After all, only with struggle can progress be achieved. Why was TVB able to dominate the entire Hong Kong TV field during the Shao Yifu era? One of the main reasons was that Shao Yifu condoned the factions within TVB.
struggle.
At that time, the four major factions within TVB were just like you. This kind of factional struggle really made TVB produce good dramas frequently during that period. However, as TVB became the dominant company in Hong Kong and had no competitors, such
The factional struggle evolved into mutual strife within them.
The internal friction was too serious, which directly caused TVB to lose its competitiveness and no good TV series to appear.
Therefore, Chu Huan allows factional struggles within TVB, but this competition must be healthy and consistent with the outside world. If they no longer have such consciousness, then the leaders of this faction will be considered dead at TVB.
In addition, this kind of factional struggle cannot affect Liang Risi's control of TVB, otherwise it will affect Jiaku's control of TVB.
Huang Xizhao's influence in the Hong Kong TV field is too great. If he is invited to TVB, it will create a confrontation situation with Liang Risi, which is very inconsistent with Chu Huan's vision for TVB.
However, if he saw such talents being lost, Chu Huan would still feel a little regretful.
After thinking for a while, Chu Huan said to Fang Jianhui: "Try to contact Huang Xizhao to see if he is willing to work at Black and White Media?"
Since Huang Xizhao is not suitable to go to TVB, then come to Black and White Media. It will definitely be useful for such an industry veteran to stay around.
Fang Jianhui nodded and said, "Okay!"
Chu Huan continued to preach to Liang Risi: "TVB will open four new channels in the next three years!"
Everyone present was stunned when they heard this. No one thought that Chu Huan would open four new channels for TVB. This actually meant adding four new TV stations in Xiangjiang to compete with TVB for ratings.
More importantly, if you want to do this, you must obtain approval from the Hong Kong government.
"Is there any problem?" Chu Huan asked Liang Risi.
Liang Risi did not deny it, but said: "There are indeed some problems. If four new channels are added, then the approval of the Hong Kong Film and Television Department is required. Adding four new channels at the same time means a fourfold increase in investment.
, I’m worried that Taiwan will focus on one thing and not the other!”
Regarding Liang Risi's question, Chu Huan nodded slightly and said: "Although we had not been very happy with the Hong Kong Film and Television Office before, the matter has passed, and the application still needs to be applied. It turns out that the director of the Hong Kong Film and Television Office has resigned.
? Now that we have a new director, we can just re-establish a relationship with the other party.
After all, they still need our support!”
The former director of the Xiangjiang Film and Television Department, because he wanted to introduce the film classification system and the Xiangjiang Film Festival, his reputation has completely fallen to the ground, and someone needs to take the blame for this matter, so the other party is exempted.
The position was replaced by a new person.
Although he is also a ghost, he knows a lot more about human nature.
The most important thing is that as long as the other party wants to secure its position, it will inevitably need the support of Black and White Media, so Chu Huan believes that it is relatively easy to apply this policy to the other party.
This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading! As for the extra expenses required for adding new TV stations, Chu Huan doesn't care about this. After all, the more expenses there are, the more advertising revenue he can accept.
And this is preparing for TVB to upgrade to satellite TV in the future.
"As for the financial expenditure, don't worry, Black and White Media will not ask you about your profit status in the past two years!"
Chu Huan preached to Liang Risi.
Seeing that Chu Huan had made a decision, Liang Risi stopped talking about the difficulties and asked Chu Huan: "What kind of new channels does the chairman want to add?"
Chu Huan said: "A movie channel is used to play the company's movies and animations, a sports channel is used to play important sports events, such as the Olympic Games, World Cup, Premier League, Serie A and other competitive events, and a music channel, this
The music channel can set up a charting program. When singers from Hong Kong or other regions launch new albums, they can chart on this music channel and announce the charting results every week. There is also a TV series channel. This TV series channel is more about
In order to serve the movie universe launched by the company in the future, some characters in the movie can choose to be launched in the form of TV series to increase their influence and reach a status that matches the popularity of the movie characters!"
This was a decision Chu Huan made after thinking for a long time.
As a TV station, TVB's main income actually comes from two points. The first type of income is advertising revenue, which is completely linked to TVB's ratings. If the ratings are high, the advertising revenue can naturally be high.
For example, the middle advertising space of "Happy Tonight" is the most expensive advertising time for TVB. After all, the vast majority of people in Hong Kong will watch this program.
Then there are the fees for selling the copyrights of TV series and variety shows.
Nowadays, TVB's TV series and variety shows are loved by all of Southeast Asia, and TVB will sell them to these regional TV stations to broadcast them to increase its own income.
However, in Chu Huan's opinion, this kind of income is still a bit too thin, and Chu Huan's idea is to bring more income to TVB.
Because in Chu Huan's vision, these four newly added channels can be paid for in the future, just like the video APPs of later generations, which will be played on a monthly subscription basis.
In this way, it can not only ensure TVB's own advantages as a free channel, but also bring more choices to more viewers, and also increase TVB's income.
The most important thing is that when TVB becomes a satellite TV station and the live broadcast range is expanded to the entire Southeast Asia, TVB will have greater influence.
Of course, whether or not to charge a fee in the end depends on the development situation at that time.
After all, TV viewers in Xiangjiang have just become accustomed to free TV programs. If charges are suddenly imposed, it is likely to cause dissatisfaction among TV viewers in Xiangjiang.
It was precisely because of this consideration that Chu Huan did not raise the possibility of charging fees at this meeting.
Liang Risi said, "Okay, after returning to Xiangjiang, I will hold a high-level meeting in Taiwan to discuss this matter in detail. At the same time, I will also communicate with the Xiangjiang Film and Television Office about adding new channels."
Chu Huan frowned slightly.
Because Black and White Media just fully acquired TVB at the end of last year, there is no need to think about asking Liang Risi about the company's income now.
The next person to report is Fang Jianhui.
For this year's black and white film, the most important task in Hong Kong is actually to implement the movie universe proposed by Chu Huan.
"Before I came, Huang Baiming had already written the script for "The Best Partner" at Mega. According to Director Liu's report, there should be some details that needed to be dealt with, so this time Huang Baiming also followed Director Liu.
Went to Hawaii, and the two will refine the contents of the script during the break from filming "Happy Ghost"."
Fang Jianhui preached to Chu Huan.
"But there are also some problems here, that is, the Xiangjiang Movie Universe. Although we have this concept in our minds, in fact, there are still many problems. For example, there is no way to determine the total number of people needed in this movie universe.
How many characters appear, this involves the lack of a core story line in the entire movie universe. If such a movie is only added one movie after another, it is very likely to cause confusion in the story of the entire movie universe in the end."
Chu Huan listened carefully to the questions raised by Fang Jianhui.
This is indeed a big question. The reason why the Marvel Cinematic Universe is so successful is because there are comics to back it up. They can arbitrarily intercept a major event in the comics and use it as the story line of the entire universe in its early stages.
In addition, the characters in Marvel have already been written, and their relationships with each other have also been formed.
These can very well allow the Marvel Universe to set the story of each character individually within a large framework.
But the Xiangjiang Movie Universe that Chu Huan mentioned now is different.
For those involved in this project, this universe is actually empty. Except for the "Best Partner" mentioned by Chu Huan, they have a concept of the Five Lucky Stars mentioned in it.
But apart from these two character lines, no one else has a better understanding of the storyline of this movie universe.
Without a large stock market framework, it is actually very difficult to build this movie universe!
"The character settings can wait until we return to Xiangjiang later. I will go to Black and White Image in person to provide you with several character settings. As for the story framework..."
It is naturally impossible for current Xiangjiang filmmakers to know which movies in Xiangjiang will become popular in the future, but Chu Huan knows. Although he cannot write a movie script, Chu Huan still knows about the classic characters of the entire Xiangjiang movie. This is already
This laid the mission framework of the movie universe.
This chapter is not over, please click on the next page to continue reading! As for the story frame...
"You can look for a suitable career to expand this framework, and in my opinion, the best choice for this career is a police officer."
Chu Huan thought about it for a while and analyzed it like this: "Most of the movies in Xiangjiang are in the category of police and gangster movies. Whether it is a comedy, an action movie, or even a ghost movie, this is the case. Police stations can appear in them."
If a movie universe has a fixed profession, it will actually be easy to expand.
Let’s compare it to the Marvel Universe. Iron Man, Thor, Captain America, Black Widow, etc. no matter who they are, in fact they all have a unified name, Avengers!
This type of science fiction film is naturally ok, but for current Hong Kong films, such an organization is obviously in line with common sense.
Then the police station is a good place to showcase them.
In "The Best Partner", the bald guy and the manly woman are police officers. In "The Five Lucky Stars", although the five lucky stars are not police officers, they are considered non-staff members of the police station.
Not to mention the following, including Chan Ka-kui in "Police Story", Zhou Xingxing in "Fighting Back to School", and Ajie in "A Better Tomorrow", these people actually all have police backgrounds.
Even if there is no police background, there are few movies that can leave the background of the police station.
Therefore, using the police station as the background and the functions of each police officer in the police station as the background, a complete movie universe can be completely hatched.
Fang Jianhui's eyes became brighter and brighter as he listened to Chu Huan's description, and finally he said excitedly: "I understand. After I return to Xiangjiang, I will convene a movie universe preparation team to discuss this matter."
A mouth on top, but a broken leg on the bottom!
Ever since Chu Huan and Fang Jianhui mentioned that they wanted to create a movie universe, Fang Jianhui had already set up a movie universe preparation team at Black and White Video. What they wanted to do was actually the issue that Fang Jianhui and Chu Huan raised now.
It's just that they, being inexperienced, still can't find a clue!
Chu Huan nodded with satisfaction and said: "I will personally attend your meeting when the time comes!"
"Yes!" Fang Jianhui said happily.
After talking about this matter, Fang Jianhui reported to Chu Huan about building a theater chain in Europe.
Nowadays, although Black and White Video has purchased the largest cinema chain company in Europe, it is not without problems. On the contrary, there are many problems.
The first is the issue of film sources. Although films from Hong Kong and Apex Pictures are gradually joining European theaters, this is only a temporary solution, not the root cause. The most important thing is to have local European films enter this theater.
Only in this way can we truly solve the problem of film sources needed by this theater chain.
"The company is now in contact with major European film companies, but they see that we are from outside, so they want to squeeze more of the company's screening share!"
Raptors crossing the river will always encounter the problem of local snakes, and Black and White Cinemas and European Cinemas are no exception.
For such a problem, Chu Huan could only choose a temporary compromise.
"This shows that the number of theaters we have in European cinemas is still not enough. If we could capture an absolute market share, then those film production companies would not be so arrogant!"
The relationship between supply and demand can change with the different strengths of both parties.
From the perspective of the entire film industry, after a film production company produces a film, it needs to be released in theaters, because only in this way can they really make a profit.
However, the Black and White Cinema Line is an outsider and has little reputation in the European film industry. In addition, the environments of various European countries are different. This has led to them internally uniting to put pressure on the Black and White Cinema Line. However, the Black and White Cinema Line is currently ineffective.
A complete promotion and release channel was established throughout Europe.
"Robert, the manager in charge of the European cinema chain, suggested that we can only accept the sharing requirements of these companies at this stage, and there are three things we have to do now!"
Fang Jianhui pointed to Robert, the ghost guy next to him, and said to Chu Huan: "Chairman, I am going to let Robert report to you!"
Chu Huan also looked at Robert next to Fang Jianhui and said, "Let's talk and listen."
Robert, who was in his thirties, turned out to be the general manager of a European theater chain. After Black and White Cinema acquired the other company, Fang Jianhui chatted with Robert and found that the other person was a very good talent, so he let him continue to be in charge of European theaters.
There's a theater problem.
This was the second time Robert met Chu Huan. The first time he met Chu Huan was when he was officially appointed.
At this time, when Chu Huan asked him to speak, he immediately said: "My idea is first, we should establish a complete publicity company that can radiate to the entire Europe. In fact, these European film companies themselves still very much hope to
Those who cooperate with us, after all, we now have the largest number of theaters among all European theater companies.
As long as we have a complete publicity channel, our company's voice will be increased.
Secondly, I think our company should also increase cooperation with Hong Kong and Hollywood, especially Hollywood film production companies. They all belong to the Western camp and have the same cultural attributes, which can better fill the gap of our company.
Film source issue.
The most important reason why we are now controlled by European film production companies is that they have determined that we do not have enough film sources to support the operation of our entire theater chain, so they are eager to seek bigger projects.
divided into.
But as long as we have our own film sources in our hands, their suppression will obviously not be established.
Thirdly, I think the company should support more European film production companies in the future. It is best to establish one or two film companies ourselves. Only in this way can we prepare sufficient film sources.
Let’s face the oppression of other film companies!”
After finishing speaking, Robert looked at Chu Huan seriously. This was the first time he had provided his opinions in front of Chu Huan, and he was still a little uneasy.
When he saw a smile on Chu Huan's face, his nervousness instantly calmed down a lot.
"Yes, these three points are very comprehensive. I have no objections and can be implemented!"
Chu Huan nodded with satisfaction. This idea seemed very good to Chu Huan, so Chu Huan had nothing to add.
Of course, because last year Black and White Pictures used all its cash to acquire theater chains in Europe and build its own theaters in various European countries.
Therefore, last year’s black and white images did not bring any cash income for the company to deploy!
Chu Huan doesn't have any objections to this. The current investment is also to prepare for better gains in the future.
In fact, the development of European theater chains can be said to be very important to Black and White Media and Hollywood's Apex Pictures.
If the European theater chain finally forms a complete scale, then Xiangjiang Film can better enter the European market and make great contributions to Chu Huan's ultimate goal of cultural export!
Secondly, it can also alleviate Kelly's problem. By then, Vertex Pictures will have a complete set of European distribution channels. In that case, the suppression of Vertex Pictures by Hollywood Jews will be reduced a lot.
In the end, Xiangjiang, the Black and White Cinemas in Europe, and the Lottery Cinemas in North America will form a solid triangular strategy, and Chu Huan will have the world's largest film distribution channel in his hands.
At that time, even the Jews in Hollywood will need to carefully assess the weight of this.
Should we all work together to make money, or should we work together to fight to the death?
Chu Huan believes that in the end, interests must be on top!
Therefore, according to the final statistics, the entire Black and White Media Group only made a profit of HK$95 million last year!
This income will definitely not be able to show the influence of Black and White Media, but there is no way that the other party is still in the development stage!
After Fang Jianhui finished speaking, Yasuo Kamikura of Fantasy Comics Club reported on the situation of Fantasy Comics Club in Hong Kong and Southeast Asia.
Compared to the two groups, Jiahu Textile and Black and White Media, Fantasy Comics does not have so many problems. Not only in Hong Kong and Southeast Asia, but actually globally, Fantasy Comics is a unique existence.
It can be said that in any country or region in the world, Fantasy Comics Club has an absolute monopoly in this field.
Someone in later generations said that wherever there are Chinese, there are Jin Yong's novels.
So now this sentence applies to Fantasy Comics Club, that is, wherever there are humans, there are fantasy comics!
Hong Kong and Southeast Asia are the base of fantasy comics, so naturally this is even more true.
In fact, after fantasy comics came out, both Hong Kong and Southeast Asian countries have launched other comics. Faced with this problem, fantasy comics have two policies.
Those that are valuable and can be collected are collected, and those that cannot be collected are found to be destroyed. However, at the same time, fantasy comics will allow those comics with average sales or bad comics to appear at will.
The purpose of this is actually to allow these comics to continue to expand the market.
After all, if there were only fantasy comics in this world, readers would not be able to tell which one is better.
As for its youth toys, the same is naturally true.
"All of this is due to the chairman's early preparation of Youth Toys "R" Us. Without Youth Toys "R" Us, our sales and profits would not be so high!"
Kamikura Yasuo communicated with Chu Huan in Cantonese at this time.
After so many years in Xiangjiang, Kamikura Yasuo has become proficient in Cantonese.
When Youth Toys "R" Us just started operating, Chu Huan used all the company's profits to pave the way for their global sales network.
Although no one said anything about Chu Huan's decision at the time, they were still a little uneasy, thinking that Chu Huan's huge investment might very well lead to bad results.
But now it seems that such worries do not exist at all, because of the expansion of Youth Toys "R" Us' global sales network.
All peripheral toys under the name of Fantasy Comics can be put on sale around the world as soon as possible, and at the same time, problems such as sales sharing are eliminated. It can be said that this plan alone has laid the foundation for the company for the next thirty years.
.
Before the advent of online shopping, Chu Huan knew that his sales network would become the largest toy sales network in the world.
At the same time, after the establishment of Youth Toys "R" Us, toys from other toy companies around the world only want to expand their sales worldwide.
Then you can’t live without Youth Toys R Us!
This is the benefit of mastering sales channels!
It is no exaggeration to say that in today's global toy market, Youth Toys "R" Us has the absolute right to speak.
And Chu Huan is not worried at all about the impact of the emergence of online shopping in the future. Chu Huan can completely plan ahead. When online sales become mainstream, all the stores in the Youth Toys R Us will be an invisible and
Great wealth!
In addition, Youth Toys R Us also takes on the task of selling some comics.
