Chapter 940: Losing Money and Earning Money

"Of course, I didn't want to change the current system in Taiwan. Even, I agree with your point of view, Mr. Shao, I have always felt that with the current situation of Hong Kong's television industry and the size of the market, TVB's insistence on the integrated production and broadcasting model is undoubtedly the wisest choice."

"But ....."

Originally, when he heard the sentence that wireless insisted on the mode of integrating production and broadcasting, it was undoubtedly the wisest choice, Shao Yifu was still very satisfied, and a smile appeared on his face, which showed that he was wise, and it also showed that Qiao Feng had no intention of challenging his position in wireless.

But unexpectedly, Qiao Feng came again, but when he heard this word that represented a turning point, Shao Yifu's face sank again.

Qiao Feng didn't see Shao Yifu's several changes in face, and continued to say his opinion: "Outside Hong Kong, especially in cooperation with the mainland, I think Wireless should change its positioning and strive to move closer to the role of a content provider, and the separation of production and broadcasting is an exploration of the way of distributing the benefits of the program."

"Mr. Joe, can you tell us more about your thoughts?"

Qiao Feng is also the second largest shareholder of wireless, although he is not satisfied with Qiao Feng's idea of separating production and broadcasting, and he has changed his face several times just now, but Shao Yifu, who should be listening, still has to be patient to listen.

Moreover, the insistence in Shao Yifu's heart has also loosened.

Although the attitude towards the separation of production and broadcasting is resistant, listening to the meaning of Qiao Feng's words, this separation of production and broadcasting will not be done in Hong Kong, as long as it is not done in Hong Kong, the base camp, Shao Yifu feels that it can still be considered.

Thinking like this, his attitude also changed a little bit, and he no longer showed displeasure and impatience, but thought about the gains and losses in his heart, and listened to Qiao Feng with his ears straightened.

Shao Yifu's attitude changed Qiao Feng was happy in his heart, but it was expected by him.

Because he was confident to convince Shao Yifu, who made him not ready to move the basic disk of wireless at all.

The system on the Hong Kong side remains unchanged, but the separation of production and broadcasting is carried out when cooperating with foreign countries, which does not affect the basic interests of wireless at all.

The separation of production and broadcasting and cooperating with others to make TV series is a big deal like the introduction of TV dramas from Europe, America and other countries and regions.

What are the grounds and motivations for opposing it?

Therefore, Qiao Feng was not surprised at all, and began to elaborate his thoughts very indifferently and concretely.

"I won't talk about the benefits of the separation of production and broadcasting, because for us it is not something that involves the reform of the TV station system.

Let's simply talk about the separation of production and broadcasting with the mainland.

There can be three modes of separation of production and broadcasting, the first is that the TV station fully invests and then entrusts an independent producer to produce the program, the second is that the producer fully invests and the TV station only acts as a broadcast platform, and the third is contract investment, risk sharing, joint investment, and equal sharing of revenues, that is, the producer can directly participate in the TV station's advertising share."

Before Qiao Feng finished speaking, Shao Yifu interrupted: "The first mode is completely changing the soup without changing the medicine.

This is just a variant of the current integrated model of TV production and broadcasting, and the only difference is that the producer does not belong to the TV station.

It's okay for those TV stations that don't have the production capacity, but it's not necessary for us at all.

Shao Yifu, who scoffed at the first model, then approved the third model: "Contract investment, risk sharing, joint investment, and equal sharing of revenues, and the producer can directly participate in the advertising share of the TV station.

We cooperate with mainland TV stations, and both sides are considered producers.

The producer can directly participate in the advertising share of the TV station, do you think there is an advertising share in the mainland?

There is no advertising share in the mainland, can we make a profit?

No.

But they earn our share of advertising, isn't this making wedding dresses for others for nothing?

There is also co-investment, how much do we invest in filming a film on average? Do you think the TV stations in the mainland have enough money to co-invest with us?

If they can't come up with enough money to invest, or only a very small part of it, how can they share the risk?

And the qualifications can share the benefits with us."

The more Shao Yifu talked, the more angry he became, he felt that the third mode that Qiao Feng said was completely to treat TVB as a wronged boss and a fool.

Qiao Feng smiled bitterly, in fact, he preferred the third mode.

Because although the mainland's film and television industry is still in its infancy, this situation will not continue forever, and the more mature the mainland's film and television industry is, the more restrictions will be placed on the introduction of Hong Kong film and television works.

Therefore, in the long run, if Hong Kong film and television dramas want to enter the mainland market, the best way is actually through cooperation.

And it is not simply a way to cooperate with mainland artists and staff, but it should be a way to share benefits.

Only with common interests can the employees of the mainland TV stations really get great profits and great returns, and they feel that Hong Kong can really enter the mainland market when they are on an equal footing with Hong Kong's counterparts and Hong Kong TV stations.

In the long run, the layout of wireless in this area must be as early as possible.

It's just that Qiao Feng understands that it is difficult to make a person like Shao Yifu who has a patriarchal style and a strong desire to control realize this, and the key is that Shao Yifu is not a traverser, he can't see the long term.

In his opinion, TVB TV dramas are far ahead of the mainland.

And in fact, it is true that Hong Kong TV dramas have been in a very strong position in the mainland more than ten or twenty years later.

But that's it.

Shao Yifu would never have imagined that the lead he thought for was not as much as he thought.

More than ten or twenty years later, Hong Kong dramas that have always been ahead of the mainland will be overtaken by mainland TV dramas overnight.

Although Qiao Feng knew this, he couldn't convince Shao Yifu with this.

But fortunately, Qiao Feng didn't set his goal in the third mode.

His goal from the beginning was the second model.

In the case that mainland TV stations are poor and do not have much money to invest with TVB equally and share the benefits equally, the second model is the best choice at present.

TVB has money, and the mainland has all kinds of locations that TVB wants to shoot TV dramas, and there are cheap labor and possible official help.

This model is between the first and second models, that is, it is a little deeper than the previous cooperation with the mainland, and the interests and control of the project are firmly grasped in the hands of TVB.

TVB set up a production company, of course, it can also be established without full investment by TVB, and other capital can be absorbed to set up a production company together.

The project is fully invested by the company, and the mainland partner TV station provides group performances, some supporting roles, and even staff members to help solve the problems encountered by the crew in the mainland.

The mainland partner TV stations do not enjoy any income other than remuneration, but with the supporting roles, staff and other things they provide, they can get the nominal benefit of cooperating with Hong Kong TVB to produce TV dramas.

To put it bluntly, under this model, the mainland partner TV station is more of a good name to earn, and the head can have political achievements, so there are possible promotion opportunities.

Don't underestimate the good sound of this kind of name, let alone the mainland, there is no shortage of this kind of thing with a good name in any country or region in the world.

Even, it is not uncommon to lose money and make money.

"Mr. Shao, I didn't say I wanted to do it according to modes 1 and 3." Qiao Feng said helplessly.

"I'm just saying that there are three modes, but I think it's the second one."
