As the Seoul Olympics approach, the two TV stations in Xiangjiang are carefully preparing to broadcast; Xiangjiang has maintained a tradition of more than 20 years and has been broadcast simultaneously by TVB and ATV (formerly Li's).
In his previous life, Qiu Degen wanted to be a broadcaster, so he signed a contract with the "Olympic Communications" agency and obtained the exclusive broadcast rights for US$2 million. When the news broke, it was like a thunderbolt from the blue, and the wireless network was in chaos. Fortunately, Shao Liushu sued the court, and ATV
The "gentleman's agreement" of more than 20 years was broken to simulcast the Olympics, resulting in the wireless station's vast audience not being able to see the Olympic Games. In the end, the court ruled that the two stations should broadcast the Olympics at the same time.
Precisely because Lin Zuhui knew the outcome, he did not play this clever trick. Instead, he placed a heavy bet on He Shouxin.
In the previous life, the two TV stations were still fighting over the emcee He Shouxin; ATV signed a contract with He Shouxin first and offered a high commission of 2 million yuan; but He kept his word and failed to keep his word, and when the always stingy Shao Liushu offered 3.5 million yuan in benefits,
He immediately terminated the contract with ATV and re-signed with TVB to get remuneration. As a result, the matter was too big. He Shouxin still did not host for TVB, did nothing, and was happy in Canada with 3.5 million.
Who is He Shouxin? He is a "veteran" of Xiangjiang TVB, a gold medal emcee, and a very knowledgeable sports expert. In their previous lives in 1990, Huang Zhan and He Shouxin were the hosts of the World Cup football matches of ATV and TVB respectively.
Although Huang Zhan was very eloquent, he ultimately lost to He Shouxin in terms of football knowledge, and the host coach had to be He Shouxin.
...
When ATV announced why the Olympic emcee kept his word, TVB was also in a panic.
Originally, TVB thought that since He Shouxin had immigrated to Canada, it would not consider it. But now that ATV was the first to arrive, TVB lost a point.
Since the second half of the year, ATV's ratings have soared. With its two programs "Big Time" and "Prize Doorman", it has attracted the attention of many citizens.
In particular, "Big Era" is comparable to "Shanghai" back then, attracting a large number of fans. The protagonist of "Big Era" this time is not Liu Qingyun, because he was not poached, but was handed over to someone poached from Wireless
Luo Jialiang.
In fact, Lin Zuhui felt that Fang Zhanbo, played by Liu Qingyun in his previous life, was not outstanding, so he did not force it. One of the heroines, Guo Aiming, did not join the entertainment industry and used actors from ATV. In fact, the most outstanding character in the whole drama is of course Zheng Shaoqiu.
, although the character is a villain, he is really impressive.
Just like in his previous life, Uncle Shao, who had always been stingy, made an appointment with He Shouxin in Hong Kong and offered him a favor fee of 3.5 million yuan just like in his previous life.
He Shouxin smiled bitterly and said: "Uncle Six, thank you for your consideration. It's not that I don't want to come to TVB, but that ATV signed a formal contract with me and specifically noted that liquidated damages are as high as 10 million! Maybe their shrewd boss has calculated it.
Let’s do this!”
Uncle Shao Liu was stunned, how could such a contract be signed?
"How could you agree to such a contract at that time? You are so confused!"
He Shouxin said: "I think my net worth is only 2 million. They offered 3 million and various benefits, so I thought I could agree. After all, I didn't expect that you value me so much!"
Shao Liushu returned disappointed, and He Shouxin couldn't help but sigh. The new boss of ATV was a master, and he had already calculated that Liushu would come to recruit people. He didn't think so much at the time, thinking that there was no chance of him breaking the contract, so he happily made more money.
1 million, why not do it!
.......
Lin Zuhui also met with the three major leaders of ATV's drama department in ATV's office, namely ATV director Zhao Zhenqiang, director of drama department Li Zhaoxiong, and deputy director Xu Xiaoming.
TVB's drama capabilities are so strong that Lam Cho-fai has to personally participate in some work. Of course, he only needs to set the general direction.
Lin Zuhui first asked: "How are the preparations for the family fashion drama (commonly known as the 'production drama') going?"
This is the direction that Lam Cho-fai gave to the drama department, asking ATV to focus on filming this type of TV series. Most of the content is about the interest struggle and right and wrong grievances of Hong Kong's upper class people. There are many episodes, many characters, the rhythm is fast and the plot is very complicated, but most of them are about good and evil.
distinct.
Of course, in his previous life, Lin Zuhui only loved to watch "Big Era" and "Genesis", because these two dramas were about the stock market and real estate, so he was very interested. He actually remembered that there was a family fashion drama about a jewelry family, and there was also a drama about clothing.
Fashion dramas and department stores, but I don’t remember the content and there’s no way to plagiarize it.
However, since ATV has been given a direction for its drama department, and this type of drama has not yet emerged, ATV has a great chance.
"We have prepared a drama about business war in the department store industry. This is the script!" Li Zhaoxiong had already prepared and handed over a piece of information.
Lin Zuhui did not watch, but said: "Anyway, remember what I said, the portrayal of human nature must be through the pros and cons, the grievances and hatreds between families, the excitement of business wars, emotional entanglements, etc. The rhythm is fast and the plot is complex.
.Keeping this style, you can also create high-quality dramas like "Big Time"."
The three people nodded one after another. It can be said that "Big Era" has achieved unprecedented success!
"I'll read the script first, and you can choose the role yourself. Anyway, the protagonist is Zheng Shaoqiu!"
"Well, Qiu Guan can control whether he plays a good guy or a villain. This time he plays a protagonist who is optimistic, loyal, insightful, and rich in business knowledge."
Lin Zuhui immediately thought of Wan Ziliang, but this one was not hired by ATV, so he had to rely on Qiuguan to be the frontman.
Lin Zuhui also has a script of "Genesis" in his hand, which he plans to release in 1989. As for after the 1990s, that is a matter for his subordinates. He can't really support ATV by himself!
"Well, we will shoot according to the schedule you set! I have read the script and if I have any comments, I will convey them to you."
"good!"
A TV station produces about 20 TV series a year, and its total production cost is calculated as 100 million yuan, which shows how huge the expenditure is.
This chapter is not finished yet, please click on the next page to continue reading the exciting content! Finally, Lin Zuhui retained director Zhao Zhenqiang.
"I want to make a big production, so I plan to let you prepare it secretly!"
Zhao Zhenqiang suddenly became energetic and thought to himself, could it be another ratings champion script of the level of "Big Era"?
He came to ATV through TVB. "Big Era" was produced by two ATV veterans, Li Zhaoxiong and Xu Xiaoming. Now the boss allows him to prepare a big drama alone. It seems that he has gained the trust of the boss.
In fact, in current ATV, Lin Zuhui's prestige is far higher than Zheng Yutong!
One is that he is young, the other is that he is professional!
"Boss, tell me!"
Lin Zuhui nodded, took out a piece of information and handed it to Zhao Zhenqiang, and said: "I like to read some ancient books, especially the historical figure Bao Qingtian, so I collected some information and simply sorted it out! This drama is estimated to take
Shooting hundreds of episodes, the scale of production is unique in Hong Kong. So I plan to ask you to go to Taiwan China Television to find them to see if they are willing to work together. I even wrote actors such as Bao Qingtian on it, yes
Taiwanese actor!”
What he wrote in the manuscript was very simple. First of all, it divided into more than a dozen plots (I can't remember all of them), including 'The Beauty Case', 'True and False Number One Scholar', 'Civet Cat for Crown Prince', 'Five Rats in Tokyo', etc. The specifics are
Notes on the plot were left to the screenwriter and more ancient books were consulted; the characteristics of the characters were also noted, and Bao Qingtian added some kindness, especially highlighting Qingtian’s emotional side; Zhan Weiwei is a fictional character, and Lin Zuhui also made a lot of notes, what kind of royal
Cats and the like.
He can provide a lot of reference opinions, and the leading actors Jin Chaoqun, He Jiajin and Fan Hongxuan all remember them clearly;
The script was originally adapted from folk tales, so this drama will not deviate too much from its previous life.
And He Jiajin is originally from ATV. This year he joined Taiwan China Television and is cooperating with Jin Chaoqun and Fan Hongxuan.
The Iron Triangle is here!
Upon hearing this, Zhao Zhenqiang reminded: "Boss, serious dramas may not have a market in Hong Kong!"
This is a common understanding among Hong Kong people. In the previous life, when Shao Liushu ordered the broadcast of Taiwan's "Bao Qingtian", some people in TVB thought that Liushu was old and confused. Facts have proved that Liushu was not confused at all. The market responded enthusiastically and the ratings continued to rise.
Even ATV reacted quickly and broadcast "Bao Qingtian" at prime time. Because of the staggered time, the ratings were also very good.
Lin Zuhui smiled and said: "I am definitely not as good as you in terms of professionalism, but you are definitely not as good as me in terms of vision! Once this drama is successfully filmed, it will not only be successful in Hong Kong, Macao and Taiwan, but also be sold to the mainland and Southeast Asia in the future. As long as you are Chinese, you will definitely like it."
The character Bao Qingtian."
Zhao Zhenqiang nodded. Lin Zuhui is the boss. Since the boss is so confident, there is no reason for him not to work hard to complete a big production.
"How will the interests of Taiwan and us be distributed?"
"We invest as much as possible. What I need are some Taiwanese actors, screenwriters, and directors. It's not that I'm short of money! However, we should try our best to cooperate with both parties. Even if they insist that scripts and filming account for a large proportion, as long as our investment accounts for a large proportion,
That’s fine! After all, we still lack some enthusiasm for filming the main drama! If they are not willing to cooperate, you can even pay them to shoot. Keep communicating with me at any time!”
Zhao Zhenqiang said: "Well, I understand what the boss means!"
After Zhao Zhenqiang left, Lin Zuhui leaned on his seat and thought to himself, he wanted to copy everything he could in the 1980s.
His idea is to pursue the victory and establish his strength to be on par with TVB in one fell swoop. Then, with the abundant talents, he can ensure that ATV's ratings will not drop again.
And some programs can even live a long life, and the copyright income can also be much higher than that of TVB. For example, "Who is the Millionaire", the Americans and the British are so rich, they have to pay hundreds of millions of Hong Kong dollars. After all, they use
Dollars and pounds are very valuable!
Using these copyright incomes, ATV's pressure will be greatly reduced. If it earns more advertising fees, TVB's annual profits may be 37% to 70% of TVB's (the ratings are not equal to advertising fees, and TVB's advertising fees account for 60% to 70% of Hong Kong's total).
