A blockbuster news attracted media reporters from all over Hong Kong.

"Distinguished guests, friends from the media, good afternoon. It is my great pleasure to invite you to witness the establishment of another new company in our new entrepreneurial family! This new company is our protagonist today, New Venture Film and Television Entertainment Co., Ltd. This is my third venture, and I have created a new company that is completely equal to New Venture Publishing Group and New Venture Electronics Group. Lin Qi said, "Just like the establishment of New Venture Publishing and New Venture Electronics, it is because of my dissatisfaction with novels and games. When I first wrote the novel, I was just disappointed with the so-called new martial arts, which was born as an opportunity for a martial arts competition in the late 50s. Liang Yusheng is the originator, and Jin Yong has the highest achievement. To this day, martial arts novels are still inseparable from Jin Yong and Liang Yusheng's routines, so I feel disappointed in martial arts novels! So, "Breaking the Sky", a self-proclaimed fantasy novel, was born. It's nothing remarkable in itself, the writing is a second- or third-rate level in the martial arts novel industry, and if the plot is replaced with the background of the times or internal strength in the martial arts novel, then it is only a martial arts. But I just replaced it with a fictional world, a fictional set of non-martial arts novels. Later, the establishment of the new venture publishing company further implemented my idea - we divided the novels into many different categories according to the readers' preferences, such as fantasy, fairy tales, urban, romance, science fiction, history, supernatural, etc., and solicited papers according to the professional type library. There is no doubt that this library model has changed the status quo of the post-martial arts novel market and the continuous shrinking of the Hong Kong novel reading market. Subsequently, we acquired a comic company and launched the inexpensive and content-rich "Hong Kong Comic Shonen Weekly", which also encouraged a rich variety of themes, breaking the monotonous situation of martial arts comics in the Hong Kong comics industry. ā€

Zhang Dahai, Shangguan Xiaobao, Ma Rongcheng, Niu Lao and others who were present were filmed by the media's cameras and video cameras, and they all looked very excited.

Next, Lin Qi pointed to Zhang Ru and Gao Tian and said: "Game company, based on my dissatisfaction with the game, it is precisely because we are not satisfied, so I recruited the first batch, about 7 employees, and the new start-up electronics company has achieved unprecedented success. ā€

The news media present were once again excited, and applause continued to ring.

"Today I am honored to let you witness the establishment of New Venture Film and Television Entertainment Co., Ltd.! We believe that film and television should be fun, just like novels, comics or games. And we believe that as long as it's interesting, then there must be a market. So, we will set up a company that will continue to create interesting movies and entertainment products! It's not that we think that movies and TV in the past are boring, but we just think that these are not enough, so we want to bring more interesting ideas. Lin Qi looked at Huang Xizhao who came out of the crowd, pulled him to the stage, and said, "The general manager of the new company will be Mr. Huang Xizhao, the general manager of Qianli's TV station, and now, my topic is over, and the rest of the time will be handed over to Mr. Huang!"

Huang Xizhao sorted out his emotions, and after that, he bowed to everyone present and said, "Thank you, all guests, colleagues, and friends. Of course, thanks to the support of Boss Lin Qilin, the new company was established and gave me the opportunity to chat with you today.

In Hong Kong, film and television companies are not uncommon, after all, Hong Kong has the name of Oriental Hollywood.

However, we need to pay attention to the fact that Hong Kong productions are still dominated by petty family spirit and hype. There are mostly bad movies, and there are few really good works. To use an inappropriate analogy, a real Hollywood blockbuster movie can reach $500 million at the global box office, which has surpassed the entire performance of the Hong Kong film industry. The top best-selling creators in the United States are generally only more than 2,000 people, while the Hong Kong film industry2 has more than 20,000 people. is also the real strength comparison, that is, the outstanding talents of Hollywood, can beat us ten by one!

So far, the world film industry has mentioned that Hong Kong films are kung fu, which seems to be proud, but in fact, it greatly limits the development space of Hong Kong films.

We hope to break the label of kung fu, not that we don't make kung fu movies and martial arts films, but we don't just want these, but more new elements. If there is no innovation, I believe that the present of Hong Kong martial arts novels is the tomorrow of Hong Kong films.

In addition, the purpose of our company is to break the rules of the Hong Kong entertainment industry, where an artist or director is often forced to sign a long-term contract, which restricts the artist and the director to only one company.

The film industry is a little better, since the era of Bruce Lee, movies have gradually blossomed. But in the field of television, the unreasonable overlord treaty is particularly harsh. For example, the largest TV company in the industry is also the most restrictive and squeezing its artists. A large TV station is not allowed to work part-time outside the home because it has little money from its own family?

Therefore, our company is determined to break the monopoly and welcome directors, artists, composers, etc., to sign a brokerage contract with us, and our brokerage contract is a service and logistics, not a bundle ......"

The media in the audience were emotional.

Huang Xizhao's words, although he did not name them, but in fact, everyone could guess it, bombarding TVB!

The boss of the entire Hong Kong TV media is obviously TVB, and only TVB has the largest number of employees and the most stable profits. However, TVB's income is obviously less than that of its peers.

Whether it is Li's TV or the original Jiayi TV, the salaries of its employees, as well as the money that famous stars and directors can get, are far higher than TVB.

Of course, the most popular TVB, the stability of its operation far exceeds that of its peers. After all, Hong Kong's population technology dictates that there is a ceiling on the local TV market. Labor and price growth will quickly eat up the growth rate of income, and if you don't pick the door, then you may gradually fall into losses in the long-term operation.

If Lin Qi thinks from TVB's point of view, if he doesn't know all kinds of money-making information in the future, then I am afraid he will choose to become the most popular in the industry. After all, TVB is not only about ratings, but also about making a profit!

Others are not as good as TVB, so after the outbreak in the short term, the sequelae caused by lack of money are repeated.

TVB, on the other hand, has a lot of money because it usually saves money, and at the most critical time, it often has enough funds to recover its disadvantage.

Although they understand TVB's hardships, Lin Qi and Huang Xizhao still choose TVB as a target to bombard!

This is the practice in many industries, and if you want to make a splash, it is best to bombard the industry boss. Only in this way can we attract more attention as quickly as possible.
