The Lantern Festival is a very important day for the Chinese nation, and it is also a special day for the ABA League.
Li Jianhui followed the example of the NBA in his previous life, and the league organized a Lantern Festival competition. Since this was the first time, there were not many conflicts between the clubs, so there were mainly five games scheduled tonight.
Among them are Seoul Samsung Team vs. Bangkok Red Bulls, Tokyo Fuji vs. Manila SM, Taipei Tatung vs. Penang Kerry, Hong Kong Xinjian vs. Hong Kong Kowloon, and Sin Chew Hong Leong vs. Jakarta.
Team Lippo.
This Lantern Festival battle can be said to have taken care of all countries and regions in the league market, and the most interesting matchup is the city PK in Xiangjiang.
Due to zoning reasons, although the Xinjian team and the Kowloon team both have their home games in Hong Kong and currently share the same home court, the Xinjian team belongs to the North District, while the Kowloon team belongs to the South zone.
Currently ranked in the division, Xinjian team is ranked fifth in the North District, followed by Tokyo Fuji, Seoul Samsung, Nagoya Sumitomo, Osaka Mitsubishi, and Kowloon ranked second in the South District, second only to
Sin Chew Hong Leong Team.
However, considering the disparity in strength between the north and south districts, the Xinjian team and the Kowloon team are only about the same strength.
Tonight is also the first confrontation between the two teams in the official season. Who wins and who loses will largely affect the support bias of Xiangjiang fans.
This night, big names gathered in the Xiangjiang Xinyi Stadium, including business elites and screen superstars. However, these are not the focus today. The eyes of everyone and the media are focused on the players of the two teams, especially
He is a core player in both teams.
Li Guobao, who was sitting next to Li Jianhui, said: "Jianhui, if I had known that this league was so popular, I would have built a basketball club at all costs."
When Li Jianhui once mentioned the formation of a league, Li Guobao was not very enthusiastic about it. He just prepared that there would be no other forces in Xiangjiang to form a league, so he came forward to give Li Jianhui some help. Later, when the Charter King stepped in, he just
I no longer have that thought.
Who would have known that only five months after the official start of this league, ABA and PFLA have become the two most watched sports events in Southeast Asia, Japan, South Korea, Baodao, Xiangjiang, and Lisboa. Whether it is the NBA or the major football leagues in Western Europe, in
The influence of these places is far from comparable to that of the two major leagues.
Of course, this is also a blessing because the media is not very developed at present. As long as the ABA and PFLA are game days, many TV stations in Southeast Asia, Japan, South Korea, Baodao, and Hong Kong will broadcast live. The NBA and the major leagues in Western Europe are not so good here.
treatment.
Also because the major media in these places broadcast live broadcasts of these two major leagues, the people in these places mainly watch these two major leagues, which also makes the influence of the two major leagues rapidly increase.
With influence, there is naturally no shortage of advertisers. Hongyu Clothing, which has exclusively sponsored the two major leagues for three years, has seen rapid sales growth in Southeast Asia, Japan and South Korea.
It would be difficult for Li Guobao to own an ABA team now. The owners who originally established these teams were all wealthy owners. The original intention of establishing these teams was to better promote themselves. In addition, the current operations are pretty good. In the short term,
Time no team will sell.
The current layout of the ABA is pretty good, and there are no plans to continue to increase the number of teams. In recent years, more has been done to improve the strength of each team and make the games more enjoyable to watch.
Therefore, Li Jianhui responded: "Brother National Security Bureau, you should stop thinking about this for a short time. You should think more about your East Asia Pictures. Desheng Pictures has been gaining momentum recently. Don't be serious about your East Asia Pictures this year."
Being overwhelmed by Desheng Pictures."
Hearing Li Jianhui mention this, Li Guobao was also helpless. Pan Desheng entered the film industry and shouted that he wanted to be among the top ten of Xiangjiang Pictures. At that time, not many people, including him, took it seriously.
The film industry in Hong Kong is not the same as in the 1970s. There are now dozens of film companies, many of which are supported by family consortiums. It is almost impossible for a poor Desheng Films to enter the top ten in a short period of time.
It’s just that the development of Desheng Pictures this year has made Hong Kong citizens know that this is not just a slogan. Desheng Pictures directly won the Hong Kong Spring Festival stalls with 21.6 million Hong Kong dollars for Gong Xi Fa Cai, directed by Shi Tian and starring Andy Lau, Michael Miu and Brigitte Lin.
The box office champion, it also has good box office in Southeast Asia, Japan, South Korea, and Baodao market.
"Jianhui, you also know that I am good at running a bank, but I am really not that good at leading the Bank of East Asia. How about you help me and transfer Eric Tsang to me and let him lead East Asia Pictures."
"If you want to recruit people, go to Uncle Lei New Art City. It's not like you don't know the situation of Jiayi. After Jiayi Culture Media was separated, there is a huge management gap in Jiayi Film and Television Group. I am also planning to let people take over.
Zeng Zhiwei serves as the general manager of the film company, so that Zeng Zhiwei can safely serve as the vice president and be responsible for the entire group affairs at the headquarters without being trapped by the film company.
On the contrary, in the hands of Uncle Lei New Art City, Shi Tian and Huang Baiming are all comprehensive talents. They have good abilities whether they are screenwriters, directors, actors, or responsible for management.
Of course, it would be better if you recruit Hong Jinbao, Cheng Long, Chen Xunqi and others. This will not only increase our strength, but also attack our opponents."
Li Jianhui mentioned it casually, but Li Guobao took it seriously. Forget about Hung Kam-bao. This man is now quite valued by Qiu Degen, chairman of Far East Film and Television Group. He is not only the first brother of Far East Film and Television Group, but also the deputy general manager of Far East Film.
Also director.
Cheng Long is also difficult to win over. The other party is Jiahe's trump card. Although Wang Jie has been at the top of his game in the past two years, in terms of movies, this is also a top star in Hong Kong. The shareholders behind Jiahe are also wealthy owners, so they will definitely not take it easy.
Let Cheng Long leave.
This time Li Guobao set his sights on Chen Xunqi, who was also a rare talent, especially in management.
If he couldn't win over this person, he would have to steal a talent from Lei Juekun. He didn't want East Asia Pictures to become a dispensable existence in Hong Kong. Not to mention becoming one of the top five giants, at least
It has to be in the top ten, otherwise it will really be a disgrace to the East Asia Li family's signature.
You must know that in the latest ranking, Jiayi Pictures relied on several excellent works to stabilize the number one position of Xiangjiang Pictures last year, followed closely by Jiahe and New Art City.
Behind them are Far East Pictures, Wireless Pictures, Jardine Pictures, Eversheng Pictures, Cheung Kong Pictures, Asia Pictures, and Kowloon Pictures.
Although East Asia Pictures also made some profits last year, it still failed to enter the top ten, and Xinhui Pictures, Yongheng Pictures, Haojiang Pictures, Desheng Pictures, New Asia Pictures, Siyuan Pictures, etc. also
It's not weak. If you want to be in the top ten, you must have a major breakthrough.
Although all the major film studios are supported by family forces, East Asia Pictures, which is owned by the second largest family in Hong Kong, requires funds and resources, but it can’t even make it into the top ten. This can only be managed by the company.
responsibility.
You must know that East Asia Pictures can use the talents of Jiayi and Xinyicheng. Even if it hires Wang Jie, who is in high demand, to star, it will be no problem. If it turns out that it falls behind the three giants of Jiayi, Xinyicheng and Jiahe, even if it lags behind TVB and others
I accepted it, after all, TVB’s predecessor was the giant Shaw Brothers Pictures.
But even Jardine, Cheung Kong, Kowloon and other film companies were ranked ahead of East Asia Pictures, which made Li Guobao dissatisfied.
That is to say, he has not found a replacement yet, otherwise he would have asked the current general manager of East Asia Pictures to get out.
