Chu Huan arrived here in a car, but did not alert anyone else before arriving, nor did he notify Liang Risi in advance.
"Boss, where are we going now? Is it their filming base, or are we going directly to the office area?"
Feng Jing came to TVB with Chu Huan. After getting off the car, Feng Jing asked Chu Huan directly.
Chu Huan said: "Go directly to the office area, I also want to see how they work!"
Feng Jing nodded and followed Chu Huan towards the TVB office building.
In fact, TVB’s filming can be said to be making the best use of everything. Before Chu Huan completely acquired TVB, most of TVB’s dramas were shot at Shaw Brothers’ Clear Water Bay studio. However, with the complete acquisition of TVB by Black and White Media, TVB
He no longer uses Shaw Brothers' Clear Water Bay studio, but moved his filming base to a black and white studio.
In addition, when filming some urban dramas and workplace dramas, TVB would even film in its own office building. Even when filming the TV series "The Strong Man", Liang Risi also lent several villas under Chu Huan's name.
I left just to capture the feeling of being a wealthy person.
Every TVB employee Chu Huan met when getting off the car, whether they were behind the scenes, in front of the stage, or in the management, Chu Huan found that every one of these people looked like they were in a hurry, and the whole TVB exuded vigor and vitality.
, compared with the sluggish TVB of later generations, they are like two companies.
"TVB's most important task now is actually this year's Hong Kong Miss election. This year's Hong Kong Miss has now selected the top 16..."
Feng Jing, who was following Chu Huan, was telling Chu Huan about the current situation of TVB.
"And we have received news that Li's TV will host Miss Asia next year to compete with TVB's Miss Hong Kong!"
Some things are destined to happen. Although Lai TV was acquired by Shaw Yifu in advance, Miss Asia of Lai TV will still appear, and it will still be several years earlier than in another time and space.
I have to say that Shao Yifu really understands the entertainment spirit of Xiangjiang people.
Shao Yifu has just taken over Li's TV for a few months. The most important thing now is to build up the brand of Li's TV and give people the feeling of saving people and giving them a new look.
Variety shows like "Happy Tonight" are actually very easy to copy, but the difficulty is that now TVB's "Happy Tonight" is in front of them. It is not difficult for Li TV to produce such a program. What is difficult is to change Hong Kong.
People’s television viewing habits.
Variety shows of the same type already have a good audience base and people have watched them for several years, and they are always emotional. This is also a long-standing inertia rating in the history of television.
One is newly launched. Although it will feel fresh, the type of program actually means that this freshness is not very fresh. Therefore, after taking over Li's TV, Yifu Shao launched a variety show similar to "Happy Tonight"
program, but it’s actually not very good at playing.
On the other hand, Miss Hong Kong is different. Although the two sides are more similar in type, their cores are different. The core selling point of a show like Miss Hong Kong is the girls participating in the election.
One is participated by Li Jiaxin and Guan Zhilin, and the other is participated by Wu Junru and Yuan Qiongdan. Regardless of whether it is an old show or a new show, the election in which Li Jiaxin and Guan Zhilin participate will definitely have explosive ratings.
Chu Huan didn't really care about Shao Yifu's desire to hold the Miss Asia election. Anyway, even if Shao Yifu didn't do it, others would do it, so it was better to work hard independently.
"Young Master Huan!"
Just as Chu Huan and Feng Jing were talking about Shao Yifu's actions, a slightly familiar voice suddenly sounded in their ears.
In fact, from the moment Chu Huan got off the car, TVB artists and staff started to take the initiative to say hello to Chu Huan after seeing Chu Huan.
However, Chu Huan was not very familiar with these people, so he just nodded. Now that he heard the familiar voice, Chu Huan turned around and saw two familiar figures.
Both of them are fat and fat, giving people a very happy look.
"Director Wang, long time no see!"
Chu Huan smiled. The person in front of him can be regarded as TVB's pinnacle. Not only will he be now and in the next ten years, this person is Wang Tianlin, the first producer of TVB.
As for the little fat man next to him, he is naturally Wang Tianlin's precious son, Wang Jing, one of the most famous commercial film directors in Hong Kong in the future.
"Young Master Huan!"
Wang Jing also stroked his eyes and called with a smile.
"Who is this?" Although Chu Huan had recognized Wang Jing, the two had never had any contact with each other, so Chu Huan acted like he did not know him.
Wang Tianlin said with some pride: "Master Huan, this is my son Wang Jing, who is also working in our station now."
Chu Huan showed a surprised expression and said: "I understand, you are one of the screenwriters of "The Strong Man" that is currently airing, right?"
Recently, while accompanying Cao Yunshang at home, Chu Huan also occasionally watches TV series in Xiangjiang. To say what is the most popular TV series in Xiangjiang now, it must be "The Strong Man" starring Zhou Runfa and Li Siqi.
Everyone is familiar with Zhou Runfa. As for Li Siqi, she is actually the mother-in-law who later played the role in the popular TVB series "The Storm". In addition, she also played the role in the 1986 version of "The Legend of the Condor Heroes"
Bao Xiruo.
By the way, Li Siqi was actually a female artist that TVB highly praised in this era, whether it was during Li Xiaohe's period or now during Liang Risi's period.
In addition, in another time and space, Li Siqi also had a seat among the first generation of TVB's four leading actresses. The other three were Zhao Yazhi, Wang Mingquan, and Huang Shuyi, who has disappeared from everyone.
When Wang Jing saw that Chu Huan actually knew his name, he seemed very happy and said with a smile: "That's it!"
This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading! Chu Huan nodded and said: "Yes, the script is very good, and Director Wang is here to give guidance. It seems that TVB will rely on you to carry the banner in the future!"
"
Wang Jing hurriedly said humbly: "Young Master Huan, you think so highly of me. I'm just a screenwriter now!"
Chu Huan shook his head and said: "The script is the basis of a play. Without a good script, it is impossible to have a good story. Work hard!"
This is not Chu Huan's nonsense. Although the quality of the script cannot fully reflect the quality of a TV series, if there is no good script, then there will definitely be no good TV series or movies.
Chu Huan knows Wang Jing very well. To say that Wang Jing is the top director in Hong Kong may be controversial, but to say that Wang Jing is the top screenwriter in Hong Kong is definitely not an exaggeration.
After chatting with the father and son for a few words, Chu Huan left. Although Wang Jing's more talent lies in movies, and there are many classic movies in Hong Kong produced by him, Chu Huan also knew that Wang Jing
In fact, he is quite skilled in TV dramas.
TVB's popular TV series "A Dream in Beijing" and "The King of Kings" were all written by him.
At this time, Chu Huan is no longer obsessed with letting these Xiangjiang artists debut early, and can just follow the original development track.
Meeting Wang Tianlin, Wang Jing and his son was just a small incident for Chu Huan, but for Wang Jing, the few words he just said to Chu Huan made Wang Jing feel very honored.
Soon, Chu Huan arrived at Liang Risi's office.
Although Liang Risi has solved TVB's internal problems, there are still many things for her to do. However, Liang Risi was already waiting when Chu Huan walked in.
When Chu Huan walked in, someone must have reported the news of Chu Huan coming to TVB to Liang Risi!
"Chairman!"
After meeting Chu Huan, Liang Risi addressed him respectfully.
Chu Huan sat on the sofa with a smile on his face and said with a smile: "I came over suddenly and didn't tell you in advance. Will you be a little panicked?"
Liang Risi smiled confidently: "No, TVB is on the right track now, and the chairman of the board can come over this time to guide our work!"
Chu Huan laughed and said: "Still so confident!"
Liang Risi said: "If I didn't have this confidence, Chairman, you wouldn't let me be in charge of TVB!"
Chu Huan nodded and did not talk about this matter again. Instead, he said to Liang Risi: "I came here this time to see the situation of the TV station. There are also two things I want to tell you."
No matter how TVB develops, even if it upgrades to satellite TV in the future, the benefits it will bring are actually insignificant to Chu Huan. To put it bluntly, in Chu Huan’s plan, TVB’s future development
, even at its peak, it was estimated that the annual income was only two to three billion Hong Kong dollars. At that time, Chu Huan must not have cared about this money.
But TVB occupies a pivotal position in Chu Huan's future business plan.
The media industry has always been like this!
The influence is too great!
"Chairman, please tell me!"
Liang Risi replied.
Chu Huan asked: "What's going on with TVB's new channel?"
Previously at the Jiaku Global Conference, Chu Huan made a new request to Liang Risi, asking TVB to add four new channels, namely movie channel, sports channel, music channel, and TV drama channel!
The purpose is to maximize the influence of TVB.
Liang Risi said with a smile: "The company has been busy with this matter for the past six months. The application for the opening of the new channel has passed the review of the Xiangjiang Film and Television Department. If nothing unexpected happens, all four channels will be launched by the end of this year.
Got it!"
Chu Huan was still very satisfied with this result. One of his decisions could be made in one sentence, but the specific execution would take a long time for Liang Risi and others to implement it.
This involves various detailed matters such as TVB's internal staff mobilization, resource allocation, and program arrangement. If you want to do all these things well, one year is already a short time.
Chu Huan raised his forehead and said: "Tell me your specific plan!"
Liang Risi said in a deep voice: "Of the four newly launched channels, the easiest ones are actually the movie channel and the music channel, while the most difficult ones are the TV series channel and the sports channel.
Movie Channel, we have already negotiated with Black and White Video, and they will provide their own film library in addition to the film library of Jiahe. I believe that with the film library supply of these two film companies, we will not be short of new movies.
In addition, we have also reached an agreement with Fantasy Animation. When the movie channel starts broadcasting, they will use "Resident Evil" as the movie channel's new year-opening animation."
Currently, Fantasy Animation has three cartoons in intensive production.
They are "Resident Evil", "Tomb Raider" and "That Rabbit". Among them, the two cartoons "Resident Evil" and "Tomb Raider" are already in production, and "That Rabbit"
"Thing" is still in the preparation stage.
After hearing this, Chu Huan frowned slightly and said: "Would it be a bit inappropriate to use "Resident Evil" as the movie channel's opening animation work for the new year? I will definitely receive a lot of complaint calls by then!"
Everyone knows that in later generations, many cartoons from his hometown were removed from the shelves due to complaints from parents, but in fact, such complaints in Xiangjiang were more serious than those in his hometown.
There is no need to talk about the theme of "Resident Evil". Chu Huan has already watched the first two episodes of "Resident Evil". To put it simply, this is an adult dark animation. Let such an animation serve as the beginning of the New Year period.
animation, I have to say that Liang Risi is brave enough!
After hearing what Chu Huan said, Liang Risi was actually a little helpless. Currently, Fantasy Animation has produced a total of three cartoons. At the same time, the cartoons that can be mobilized include "Transformers" produced by an overseas animation company.
But now "Transformers" is the main cartoon of TVB Jade Channel, and it is impossible to get it to be broadcast by the new movie channel. The style of the cartoon "Tomb Raider" is actually somewhat different from "Tomb Raider"
similar.
Therefore, no matter which one of these two cartoons is shown, it is possible that the situation mentioned by Chu Huan will occur.
"Let's wait a little longer. After Zhong Zhichen produces the animation of "That Year of the Rabbit", if it passes the review, this animation will be used as the movie channel's new year's masterpiece!"
Chu Huan also understands Liang Risi's difficulties. Among the three cartoons produced by Fantasy Animation, Chu Huan still believes that "That Rabbit That Year" is the most suitable as the movie channel's new year's masterpiece. After all, this cartoon
It is impossible to make it dark.
It's just that this animation hasn't been released yet, so Liang Risi doesn't feel confident.
But now that Chu Huan has made his decision, Liang Risi naturally has no objections anymore.
"Okay, I'll let the people at the movie channel contact Manager Zhong!"
Chu Huan said: "No need, call him now. I just have some new ideas to talk to him about."
Liang Risi nodded and went to call Zhong Zhichen.
After Liang Risi finished the phone call, he continued to introduce the four new channels to Chu Huan. Naturally, there would be no problems with the music channel. With the support of Youyu Records, there would be no problems with the launch of this channel.
What really made Liang Risi feel embarrassed were the sports channels and TV drama channels.
"The launch of the TV drama channel means that the company has to increase its investment in TV dramas. Although we do not lack TV drama talents now, and are even a little bloated, as long as the TV drama channel is opened, the bloated talent will appear
It’s not enough. This requires us to have more talents in TV dramas, not only actors, but also screenwriters, directors and other people behind the scenes.
The most important thing is that in order to cope with the program list of the new TV drama channel, we need more investment!"
Chu Huan nodded and agreed with what Liang Risi said.
"Don't worry about the capital investment. The company will fully support your plan. As for talents, we still need to increase investment in artist training classes. At the same time, our artist training classes cannot only focus on the artist level. Editors and reviewers
, directors and other training courses should also increase investment and publicity to recruit more talents."
Liang Risi said with some worry: "Although this is a good method, water from afar cannot quench the thirst for nearness. Within this six months, we need to produce part of the TV series to cope with the broadcast of the entire TV series channel. It cannot be done
Will we keep playing old TV dramas until then?"
Chu Huan smiled and said: "This involves the next thing I will tell you later!"
Then Chu Huan asked Liang Risi: "Do you have any other questions about the TV drama channel?"
Seeing Chu Huan's confident look, Liang Risi had no choice but to say: "There are no TV drama channels for the time being."
"Then let's talk about the situation of sports channels."
Chu Huan preached.
Liang Risi showed a pained expression. The sports channel can be said to be the most troublesome thing for Liang Risi now. The main problem is that there are no sports competitions in Hong Kong itself. The only games that can be considered worthy of mention are the Hong Kong Football League A and the Jockey Club.
Already.
The Hong Kong First Division Football League was established in 1908 and is now quite influential in Hong Kong. Nam Wah, KMB, Kitchee, Sing Tao, Yuyuan, Tung Wah, Seiko and Burroughs are all
The teams of the Xiangjiang First Division Football League during this period.
There are also cases where fans stay up all night to buy game tickets.
However, after the mid-1980s, the Xiangjiang Football League was discontinued.
And this involves the team's abuse of foreign aid, the team's serious losses, and the face of other entertainment competitions. Of course, the most important thing is because of the intrusion of peripheral groups into the football league in Xiangjiang, a city with a gambling aloofness.
The decline of the Hong Kong Football League A.
"We have already negotiated with the Hong Kong Football Association. From 1979 to 1980, we will have exclusive live broadcasts of the Hong Kong Football League. But still, that sentence cannot quench the thirst. If the sports channel was launched on January 1, 1979
, it definitely can’t be broadcast live.
The other is the Hong Kong Jockey Club, which did not agree to our application to broadcast their games!"
This is the reason why Liang Risi has a headache. There are only two sports competitions in Xiangjiang. The schedule of the Xiangjiang Football League A is not consistent. The Jockey Club is still willing to sell their live broadcast rights to Li TV. Even if it is a joint broadcast, the Jockey Club
The association doesn't agree either.
"What about overseas leagues?" Chu Huan did not respond to this matter, but continued to ask.
When Chu Huan wanted TVB to launch a sports channel, he was actually targeting overseas leagues, not local sports in Hong Kong.
Liang Risi said: "Overseas leagues are easier to say, but the broadcasting costs and maintenance costs are somewhat beyond our expectations. Now the company's people are in contact with them."
Chu Huan asked: "What are the main leagues to contact?"
Liang Risi said: "The main contacts are the English League One, Italian League One, and the four major golf tournaments."
Nowadays, English League One has not yet been transformed into the Premier League, and what people in Hong Kong love to watch most is actually English League One football matches. Later, it became the favorite event of peripheral groups.
"But don't worry, Chairman, we are confident that we can negotiate the price within the next period of time!"
Liang Risi doesn’t just have problems, he also has his own solutions.
Chu Huan nodded. The sports channel has just been established. It is impossible to include all the world-famous sports leagues at once. It only needs a little penetration!
However, during the subsequent conversation, Chu Huan also understood one thing, that is, the biggest problem faced by sports channels is actually the inability to seamlessly connect all competitions after the broadcast.
This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading! "In this way, you contact the Xiangjiang Sports Association to count the local sports events in Xiangjiang, and if possible, broadcast them live. It is better than nothing."
Although in Chu Huan's opinion, the only influential sports events in Hong Kong at this time are the Jockey Club's horse racing and the Hong Kong Football League, there are actually many other sports in Hong Kong, such as traditional dragon boat racing, track and field, and rock climbing.
Wait for exercise.
It's just that it has never been able to take shape.
To put it bluntly, it is actually a lack of financial support. If TVB's sports channel is willing to broadcast live broadcasts, it should also bring them some income.
Liang Risi nodded and said, "Okay!"
Regarding contacting the Xiangjiang Sports Association, Liang Risi thought there was no problem. After all, everyone in Xiangjiang knew about the relationship between Chu Huan and Huo Shahuang, the president of the Xiangjiang Sports Association.
"In addition, when you contact the Xiangjiang Sports Association, mention to them that Nike North America is preparing to join forces with the Xiangjiang Sports Association to establish four leagues, namely the Xiangjiang Middle School Men's Basketball League, the Xiangjiang University Men's Basketball League, and the Xiangjiang Middle School Men's Basketball League.
Football League, Xiangjiang University Men’s Football League!”
Hearing Chu Huan's plan, Liang Risi showed a shocked expression and couldn't help but said: "Chairman, we are launching four leagues at once, and they are all affiliated with the school. This matter is purely a matter of the Sports Association.
You can’t make the decision, and you need the approval of the Hong Kong Education Department, as well as the various secondary schools and universities in Hong Kong!”
Liang Risi had guessed Chu Huan's purpose, which was to use these four leagues. One was to promote TVB's sports channel, and the other was to promote the Nike brand.
When attending the Jiaku Global Conference, Liang Risi already knew that Nike was a company affiliated with Jiaku in North America.
Chu Huan nodded and said: "There is no way to get them to agree. That is to come up with corresponding benefits. You can come up with a benefit distribution plan, which includes competition bonuses, advertising revenue, live broadcast fees,
Ticket revenue, peripheral income, etc., I believe that as long as the distribution of benefits reaches a reasonable level, they will still agree to this matter!"
What Chu Huan saw was not only the promotion of Nike in Hong Kong, but also the development of TVB sports channel.
There are actually two points here. One is that TVB will definitely upgrade to satellite TV in the future, which means that TVB’s audience in the future will definitely not be just in Xiangjiang, but in the entire Southeast Asia and even Asia.
So as long as these four leagues can be launched, the promotion of Nike will not be limited to Xiangjiang.
At the same time, what's more important is that Chu Huan still has two ace comics in his hand that he has not yet taken out.
"Slam Dunk" and "Slam Dunk"!
Both of these comics need a market. If the sports atmosphere in Xiangjiang can be created with the help of these four leagues, then the background of these two comics does not need to be placed in Japan, but can be placed directly in Xiangjiang.
The income from these two comics alone is enough to recoup the investment of these four leagues dozens of times!
At the same time, there is also revenue from the promotion of other products. There are simply too many product promotions that one league can accommodate.
"If you do this, there is one more thing that needs to be done!" Liang Risi said to Chu Huan worriedly.
"Are you talking about the venue?" Chu Huan thought of Liang Risi's worries.
Liang Risi nodded and said: "Yes, the football venue can be easily solved. After all, there are many football venues in Xiangjiang that can be borrowed, but the basketball venues can also provide ticketed basketball venues, so it seems a bit stretched!"
Liang Risi's question made Chu Huan also fall into deep thought.
It’s not that this matter is difficult to handle. The most important thing is that if you want to hold a college basketball league, you need to contact these colleges and universities to build basketball stadiums.
This involves various issues such as land and venue fees.
"At that time, I will ask He Bingguang to send a team from Zhulu Real Estate to discuss this matter with you."
In Chu Huan's plan, these four leagues must be held. If possible, Chu Huan even hopes to join universities in Taiwan, Southeast Asia, Japan, and South Korea in the future, and even wait for the time to mature.
You can invite colleges and universities in your hometown to participate.
As long as these four leagues can achieve scale, it will be a hugely profitable business for Nike and TVB.
Seeing that Chu Huan had made up his mind, Liang Risi said nothing more and just suggested: "If this is the case, I think we should join forces with the Hong Kong Sports Association, the Hong Kong Education Department, and the joint committees of various middle schools and universities in Hong Kong to
We must ensure that this matter is within our control!"
Chu Huan nodded and said: "This is natural. After you form a resolution outline on this matter, submit it to me!"
Liang Risi nodded, "No problem."
Li's TV and Jiayi TV have always regarded TVB as their target, but they have no idea how big Chu Huan's plan is. As long as TVB's four new channels can be launched, then Hong Kong will
Although there were still only three TV stations in name, in fact, there were seven TV stations in Xiangjiang at that time... That's not right. Maybe Jiayi TV Station would have gone bankrupt by then.
But no matter what, TVB has no opponents in Hong Kong at this time. Their only opponent is themselves!
