674, The battle of life and death among the three major TV stations in Hong Kong
12 Mount Galley Road.
"So, you didn't come forward to take action against Jiashi this time?"
Putting a plum blossom in his mouth, Cao Yunshang sat on the sofa and asked Chu Huan curiously.
The situation that Jiashi is currently facing has been reported in the newspaper, and Cao Yunshang already knows about it.
The report also analyzed that Chu Huan and Shao Yifu took action to solve the problem Jiashi is facing now.
"No, it's just a good look. It was done by Liang Risi, Shao Yifu and Fang Jianhui!" Chu Huan answered Cao Yunshang's question while peeling off the white lines on the orange petals for Cao Yunshang.
Chu Huan really did not come forward to deal with the devastating disaster for Jia Shi, but left full power to Fang Jianhui and Liang Risi to do this. As Chu Huan said, a mere Jia Yi TV station,
If he needs to come forward, then Fang Jianhui and Liang Risi will really have nothing to do.
Cao Yunshang happily looked at the movements of Chu Huan's hands, and then asked: "So it is a certainty that Jiashi will go bankrupt this time?"
Chu Huan put the peeled orange petals into Cao Yunshang's mouth, and then said with a smile: "You can't say that. When Zhou Liang Shuyi jointly attacked us with the Hong Kong government, she still had a lot of friendship with the Hong Kong government. I think
Sandra Chow should be in the office of a senior official of the Hong Kong government at this time, looking for help!"
Cao Yunshang asked with some incomprehension: "What can the Hong Kong government do to help Jiashi? This time, Shao Yifu and Fang Jianhui have directly cut off Jiashi's financial resources. The Hong Kong government cannot give them financial resources, or give them some help from TVB and Li
TV, right?”
If there hadn't been the incident last year between Chu Huan and the Hong Kong government, Cao Yunshang would have thought that the Hong Kong government would have raised some eyebrows between TVB and Li TV on this matter. But last year's incident made Chu Huan and the Hong Kong government
We have fallen into a strange balance stage, that is, in your regular business, the Hong Kong government will not interfere.
After all, the Hong Kong government also needs Chu Huan's help on many matters.
Chu Huan said with a smile: "It's so simple. I learned from Liang Risi that the time limit for the live broadcast of the Mark Six Lottery signed between TVB and the Hong Kong government is coming soon. The other party can take back this program and hand it over to Jiayi
TV station. At the same time, although the Chinese-funded consortiums in Hong Kong have begun to boycott Jiayi TV and the artists of Jiayi TV, there are still many British-funded and foreign-funded consortiums in Hong Kong. The relationship between the Hong Kong government and them has always been very good. I
I believe there will still be some disturbances by then!”
Regarding Chu Huan's analysis, Cao Yunshang frowned slightly and said: "If this is the case, then Fang Jianhui and the others will still have some difficulties in winning Jiashi."
Chu Huan smiled and smoothed Cao Yunshang's forehead: "A Jiashi won't make you frown. You know, your bad mood will also have an impact on the baby in your belly!"
Facing Chu Huan's gentle movements, Cao Yunshang's face once again showed a happy smile. She had never seen Chu Huan like this before.
Mrs. Wu and Zhou Meiqi, who were chatting on the sofa not far away, also looked at each other and smiled when they saw this situation.
"Jiashi's problems are internal, not external. It's so easy to turn around!" Chu Huan said firmly.
Although Jiashi's development has been very different from that of another time and space, its fundamental problem has still not been solved, and that is the serious internal cash burn.
"Before, in order to seize the market faster, Michelle Chow frequently launched large-scale productions. Although this could bring them higher ratings in a short period of time, more importantly, the output was not directly proportional to the income. Jiayi
The TV station is not owned by He Zuozhi alone, there are many other directors around him.
Moreover, although He Zuozhi bears the aura of He Dong's illegitimate son, his own wealth is also limited. Even if he supports Zhou Liang Shuyi, he cannot support endlessly.
Nowadays, Jiashi's financial deficit is already an astronomical figure for the directors of Jiashi, but Shuyi Zhou doesn't care about it at all.
Originally, when He Zuozhi was in Xiangjiang, he was still able to control Shou Liang Shuyi, but now that He Zuozhi was deceived by Shou Liang Shuyi and went to Southeast Asia to solve the sales channel issue of Jiashi TV series, then no one in Jiashi can control Shuyi now.
I got information that Zhou Liang Shuyi has agreed to Xu Ke's new project, which is a big investment project in the TV drama circle. As long as the ratings of this TV series fail or fail to meet expectations, then regardless of Zhou Liang Shuyi
No matter how much foreign aid Yi brings in, Jiayi TV station won’t be able to continue working!”
After Cao Yunshang heard this, he looked at Chu Huan in surprise, "You even know about Jiashi's internal financial deficit? Could it be that you also have an undercover agent in Jiashi?"
Chu Huan chuckled and said, "Do you really think that Jiaku's investigation department is just a decoration?"
How many companies and departments in Xiangjiang the Jiaku Investigation Department has infiltrated? Only Chu Huan, Ma Jizu, and Wu Xiaohui know this secret. Even Xu Yi doesn't know everything.
Cao Yunshang also nodded without understanding.
"However, Liang Shuyi still has some abilities. Since she is so optimistic about Xu Ke's new project, I think this TV series will definitely achieve great success as long as it is launched!"
Although she understood what Chu Huan meant, Cao Yunshang was still a little worried.
"Didn't you also say that things like film and television creation are the most unpredictable? No one can be sure whether he will be a hit on the screen before this TV series is aired, or whether he will be popular!"
Chu Huan said with a smile: "Although no one knows what kind of results Xu Ke's new production can achieve, what we can do is to ensure that our work can be above the passing line."
If Chu Huan was a little worried about this matter before, then after Chu Huan learned from Liang Risi about the TV series produced by TVB in response to Jiashi Xu Ke's production, Chu Huan had nothing to worry about.
This chapter is not finished yet, please click on the next page to continue reading the exciting content! "Celestial Silkworm Transformation"!
This TV series once helped Li's TV to defeat TVB. Later, TVB really had no choice but to resort to outside measures and gave Xu Shaoqiang, the male lead of "The Transformation of the Silkworm" at that time, 100,000 Hong Kong dollars, so that Xu Shao
Qiangwan disappeared, and Li TV had no choice but to invite Gu Guanzhong to replace Xu Shaoqiang in the role of Yun Feiyang.
In another time and space, this TV series was produced by Li TV, directed by Mai Tanxiong and Xiao Sheng, and written by Huang Ying.
But now Xiangjiang's entertainment industry has already undergone earth-shaking changes because of Chu Huan's existence.
First of all, during last year's Wutai Mountain War, TVB had poached Mai Fangxiong and Xiao Sheng to TVB, and Huang Ying is now a contracted writer for the martial arts magazine "Jianghu".
In another time and space, Huang Ying first wrote the script for "The Transformation of the Silkworm" and then published the novel of the same name after the TV series became a hit.
But in this time and space, Huang Ying first made his debut in the martial arts magazine "Jiang Hu" with the novel "Celestial Silkworm Transformation", and then joined TVB.
So this TV series has now fallen into the hands of TVB.
Since Mak Tan Hung joined TVB, he has always wanted to make a classic TV series to vindicate his reputation. As the person who personally recruited Mak Tan Hung, Liang Risi also hopes that Mak Tan Hung can use a classic TV series to prove his reputation. Prove your vision.
So at this critical moment for Jiayi TV, Liang Risi sacrificed Mai Tanxiong.
It is true that in the film industry, even though director Mak Fang-hsiung has produced classic films such as "The Flag Soldiers of the Province and Hong Kong", "The Lame Man", "The Emperor of Shenghai" and "Black Gold", he is still not as famous as Xu Ke.
But in the field of TV dramas, Xu Ke is really not as good as Mai Tanxiong.
In addition, although it is impossible for Liang Risi to know Xu Shaoqiang's situation in another time and space like Chu Huan, but because Xu Shaoqiang is not a TVB artist now, the male lead of the TV series "Celestial Silkworm Transformation" is also It's not Xu Shaoqiang, nor Gu Guanzhong who has switched from TVB to Li TV, but the actor of Ding Li who later shined in the TV series "Shengtan Beach", Lu Liang, who is known as the killer of rich women in Hong Kong. Wei.
Lu Liangwei is a student of the TVB Wireless Artist Training Class in 1977. He has been playing small roles this year. However, when Makoto Hung was selecting actors, he fell in love with Lui Liangwei at a glance, because Makoto Hsiung was also a star of this TV series. Producer, so Mai Fangxiong has absolute rights in the casting of this TV series.
So it was finally decided to let Lu Liangwei be the male lead of this TV series, Yun Feiyang!
At the same time, in order to cope with the new TV series from Jiayi TV, Shao Yifu also asked Li's TV station to film a costumed martial arts drama starring Zheng Shaoxi to fight against it!
I believe that when August comes, TVB, Li TV, and Jiayi TV will have a martial arts drama competition.
During this period, most TV stations in Xiangjiang implemented a system of filming and broadcasting at the same time, which allowed them to better control the cost of TV series. If the ratings were not good, they could stop them quickly, which could also reduce investment.
Of course, because of the Wutaishan War launched by TVB, the other two TV stations also saw the disadvantages of this kind of filming situation. If the main actor ran away halfway, the losses would be even greater.
But there is nothing that Jiashi can do at this time. Liang Shuyi must let Xu Ke's TV series be broadcast as soon as possible. Only in this way can the smooth broadcast of this TV series be guaranteed. Otherwise, when He Zuo Zhi comes back from Southeast Asia, At that time, we might have to stop the filming of this TV series again.
"So it seems that the winner will be decided in August this year?"
Cao Yunshang judged.
"It should be like this!" Chu Huan also analyzed it in this way.
Although Chu Huan judged that Jiashi's collapse was inevitable, such sentiments were not very obvious within Jiashi.
When the incident first came out, there was indeed a special feeling of sadness and indignation among all the people in front of and behind the scenes at Jiashi. However, as Sandra Chow found a new sponsor, Jiashi's employees became more concerned about Jiashi's future.
A new hope.
"I didn't expect Miss Liang to be so powerful. She found three British companies to sponsor her at one time, including a big company like Wharf. It's really amazing!"
Bai Biao, Luo Yuelin, Mi Xue, Zheng Yuling, and Mao Shunyun gathered together and were talking about the problems Jiashi was encountering now.
The five of them came together because Xu Ke's movie co-starred the five of them. From this cast, it can be seen that Jiayi TV attaches great importance to this TV series. The important actors in the TV series are all
The actors came in.
Mao Shunyun is the youngest among the five, and he is also the happiest among the five. Now he feels very satisfied with the company's situation.
Zheng Yuling said impatiently: "What's so happy about this? The company has overcome the difficulties, but it doesn't mean that we have overcome the difficulties!"
After finishing speaking, Zheng Yuling looked at Mi Xue and asked: "Axue, have you received any new event invitations or advertising endorsements in the past two days?"
Mao Shunyun was snatched away by Zheng Yuling. She shrank her head and did not dare to say anything.
Mi Xue held her chin with her hands and said helplessly: "How is it possible? The people who have endorsed us before have already started the process of terminating their contracts. Is there any company in Xiangjiang that is willing to offend Chu Huan and Shao Yifu for us?"
Zheng Yuling asked: "Didn't I say that Chu Huan has a very good relationship with those British companies? Besides, haven't companies like Wharf already signed contracts with TV stations?"
Bai Biao smiled bitterly and said: "Director Chu's relationship with the British consortium is indeed not very good, but what are we? To put it nicely, we are stars, to put it more bluntly, aren't we just filming TV series? What about those people?
What might happen because of us?"
When Zheng Yuling heard Bai Biao's answer, her smart eyes were a little complicated, and she said dejectedly: "If that's the case, then what's the point of staying here?"
Apart from the glory in the spotlight, being an artist is also about making money, especially for someone like Zheng Yuling who has a very clear plan for her life.
Even if Jiayi TV has passed this crisis now, it is really hard to say when artists like them will be able to get through this crisis.
When the other four people heard what Zheng Yuling said, their expressions changed. Luo Yuelin even asked Zheng Yuling carefully: "Dodo, do you want to... change jobs?"
When speaking at the end, Luo Yuelin deliberately lowered his voice.
Zheng Yuling said without hesitation: "If our situation remains like this, then I really need to think carefully about my future path."
After finishing speaking, Zheng Yuling looked at the other four people and asked: "Don't tell me that you don't have this idea, how much money can you make as an actor?"
Zheng Yuling's words made everyone at the scene fall into silence. As Zheng Yuling said, being an actor really doesn't make much money!
Everyone has the same idea, that is, they want to take advantage of their fame and make more money, but now something like this has happened.
When everyone was silent, Xu Ke led other members behind the scenes to the conference room.
Compared with Zheng Yuling, Mi Xue and others, Xu Ke's thoughts are not that complicated. This is also related to the fact that he is a director behind the scenes. No matter what time it is or where it is, the stars in front of the stage will always enjoy more rights than the director.
More spotlight.
So for Xu Ke, the most important thing is to complete the filming of the current TV series. As long as he can make achievements, no matter what the situation of Jiashi is, he will never die of hunger, and Xu Ke has always had a desire in his heart.
Movie dream, his biggest wish is to be a movie director, not a TV series director.
When the few people saw Xu Ke coming, they stopped their discussion and began to listen seriously to Xu Ke's ideas for the new project.
After this meeting, they will enter the actual shooting stage. The efficiency of Xiangjiang TV Station is so efficient.
At the same time, Zhou Liang Shuyi was also meeting with senior executives of Jiayi TV.
"The company has completed the cooperation intention with three British-funded companies led by Wharf, which means that the company's difficulties are basically over. Now we will seriously fight the next battle. I believe everyone will accept it.
Here's the news, TVB and Li's TV station have already launched new projects, in order to benchmark our station's work directed by Xu Ke, which will be broadcast on the 1st of next month.
The life and death of the company depends on this time, so I hope you can devote 10% of your energy to this matter..."
Looking at Zhou Liang Shuyi sitting there giving advice, the senior executives of Jiayi TV also felt quite complicated.
They still admire Zhou Liang Shuyi's ability. After all, TVB and Li's TV have just blocked the financial resources of Jiayi TV Station. Zhou Liang Shuyi can find new investors. For this reason alone, they say no
What comes out?
However, everyone also understands that this kind of help is only temporary. What really makes them turn around is Xu Ke's project, which was launched on August 1st. Only when the ratings of this TV series explode, can it really save the current good situation.
Art TV.
Sitting there, Zhou Liang Shuyi also saw the expressions of these people. She was very satisfied with the admiration in their eyes.
After the incident came out, Zhou Liang Shuyi went to find Xia Dingji. Although the encirclement and suppression of Chu Huan last year was not successful, Zhou Liang Shuyi and Xia Dingji still developed a good relationship.
It was precisely because of this friendship that Xia Dingji decided to help Zhou Liang Shuyi after a brief consideration.
Now that Shao Yifu and Chu Huan are so close, the Hong Kong government also needs to have its own platform to speak out. If even Jiayi TV has problems, then the Hong Kong government really will not have its own platform to speak out.
This situation is definitely not what Xia Dingji wants to see.
So Xia Dingji helped contact Wharf and other companies. It happened that Wharf was also preparing to advertise some of its properties in Harbor City, which was about to be completed, so he cooperated with Jiayi TV.
"As long as we can firmly grasp the support of the Hong Kong government, no matter what cards Chu Huan and Shao Yifu play, Jiayi TV will have no problem!"
Zhou Liang Shuyi thought firmly in her heart.
As long as this TV series can be successful, all the problems faced by Jiayi TV now will not be a problem.
Zhou Liang Shuyi has this confidence.
.
Beautiful TV station!
Because when Shao Yifu acquired Li's TV station, Li's TV station had already been riddled with people poaching by TVB and Jiayi TV. Therefore, during this period, Shao Yifu has been focusing his attention on Li's TV station.
side.
"Brother Six, I got the news that TVB has decided to start filming a TV series this month that is adapted from Huang Ying's novel "The Transformation of the Silkworm"!"
As Shao Yifu's confidante, Fang Yihua naturally followed Shao Yifu to Li's TV station, and was even appointed by Shao Yifu as the general manager of Li's TV station.
This result is very satisfying to Fang Yihua. From a nightclub singer to a powerful woman with a decisive position in the entertainment industry in Hong Kong, although Fang Yihua has many criticized problems, it cannot be denied that this woman must have her own
of ability.
If you say that she was able to get to where she is today just relying on her relationship with Shao Yifu, then she is looking down on him too much.
Shao Yifu asked: "Who supervised the production?"
Many people have different concerns about the success of a TV series. Ordinary people focus on who stars in the TV series. As long as the starring role in the TV series is someone they like, or a well-known artist, then
These people will think that this TV series has a high probability of success.
This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading! People who know a little bit about this industry will think that directors and screenwriters are very important. After all, they are the soul of the TV series and dominate the final plot rhythm of the TV series.
But for people like Shao Yifu, what they value more is the producer of this TV series.
The greater the ability, the greater the responsibility!
This is not only a classic movie line, but also reflects the real core character in a TV series.
In Hong Kong, the person with the most authority in a TV series is the producer!
Naturally, they are the factors that really determine the success of a TV series.
Fang Yihua replied: "It's Mak Tanxiong who was poached by TVB from Li's TV station last year!"
Hearing the name Mai Fangxiong, Shao Yifu frowned slightly and sighed: "Mai Fangxiong is a talent. When I originally wanted to acquire Li's TV station, I also thought about letting him take the lead. Unexpectedly, he was still chosen in the end.
TVB poached it, and now it seems that we need to pay more attention to this TV series!"
Although Fang Yihua is capable, it is false to say how powerful Fang Yihua's ability is.
And this woman actually has a strong sense of jealousy.
In another time and space, Yifu Shao was the most powerful person in the Hong Kong entertainment circle. Even though he was older, he was always surrounded by Yingying Yanyan.
Fang Yihua knew that it was impossible to prevent this kind of thing, so in later Hong Kong media reports, you would often see reports that it was Fang Yihua, Shao Yifu and another actress who accompanied them shopping.
And this actress must have had this right only after getting Fang Yihua's approval.
And those actresses who want to surpass Fang Yihua will end up disappearing from the crowd.
At the same time, Fang Yihua's jealousy is not only about this kind of thing, but also about the company's management. In Fang Yihua's view, whether it is Shaw Brothers or TVB, Shao Yifu deserves to be the first person.
It's a problem, but except for Shao Yifu, no one else can have a higher status in these two companies than himself.
This is also the reason why none of Shao Yifu's children later worked at TVB.
Now when I heard Shao Yifu praise Mak Faxiong, I suddenly felt a little dissatisfied, but I still smiled and said: "Although Mak Faxiong is good, he is always a newcomer in TVB. This time Liang Yat Si obviously met the wrong person."
Shao Yifu knew very well what kind of character his pillow person was, and asked: "Why do you say that?"
Fang Yihua explained: "According to the news we got, in the TV series "The Transformation of the Silkworm", Mai Tanxiong did not use either Zhou Runfa or Liu Songren, but chose a young man who just graduated from the artist training class last year.
The man's name seems to be Lu Liangwei.
For such an important TV series, Mak Fa-hsiung can only cast a newcomer to star in it. This is obviously because Mak Fa-hsiung has not yet established a firm foothold in TVB, and none of the artists there are willing to cooperate with him!"
Shao Yifu glanced at Fang Yihua and said in a steady tone: "Xie Xian, Zheng Shaoxuan, Liu Songren, Zhou Runfa, none of these people are newcomers.
Don’t underestimate a TV series like this because you think the other person is a newcomer. As long as the script of the TV series is reliable and the behind-the-scenes work is reliable, then even a newcomer can create high ratings."
Shao Yifu knew Fang Yihua, and Fang Yihua also knew Shao Yifu. When he heard what Shao Yifu said, he instantly understood that Shao Yifu was a little dissatisfied with himself for underestimating the enemy.
So Fang Yihua immediately said with a correct attitude: "I know Brother Six, I will let people pay more attention to the situation of this TV series on TVB!"
Shao Yifu nodded with satisfaction, and then continued to educate Fang Yihua: "It is not enough to just pay attention to TVB. Forging iron requires one's own hard work. For Li TV, the most important thing now is to do our own job well. This
This time the TV series we prepared had to face not only Jiashi, but more importantly TVB.
In fact, no matter what kind of TV series Jiashi puts out, their failure is already foreseeable, so in the future, our main opponent will still be TVB.
However, due to our relationship with TVB, both parties can only compete fairly, and this requires us to come up with higher-quality programs.
The competition with TVB does not happen overnight, but is a long-term thing. I hope you can understand this truth!"
Fang Yihua nodded seriously and said: "Brother Six, I understand!"
After Yifu Shao nodded, he said: "I heard that TVB is currently preparing a new variety show to occupy the prime time slot on Sunday evening. This is the most important thing for us.
The success of a variety show can maintain its advantage for at least two to three years, and a longevity variety show is even more unimaginable."
Fang Yihua could only say: "I have urged the variety show department in the station to come up with programs that can compete with it as soon as possible!"
Shao Yifu nodded and said nothing more.
The three TV stations in Hong Kong are secretly turbulent, and gradually more and more things have begun to be known to the media. At the same time, reports on the competition between the three TV stations are becoming more and more lively.
When the time came to the end of July, the media in Xiangjiang had once again dubbed this competition the "Mount Wutai War Version 2.0"!
