Chapter 339: Jiashi made a profit of more than 400 million
Jiayi TV, it has been nearly two years since the opening of the station, this name is already very familiar to Hong Kong, compared with the cold at the beginning, now the various staff have exceeded 1500 people, and the change from the appearance is not big, it is hard to imagine that it dominates the ratings in many programs in Hong Kong and even Southeast Asia, spreading Chinese culture to the whole of Asia, and this alone makes people dare not underestimate it.

This is the first time Wang Zifan has come to work since the Spring Festival, and after driving into Jiayi TV, he directly found Huang Xizhao, the person in charge of the TV station, and asked about the progress of "The Legend of Deer and Ding".
After a while, Huang Xizhao also called Du Qifeng, the preparer of "The Legend of Deer and Ding".
Du Qifeng was a little shy, and after looking at Wang Zifan for a while, he reacted, and hurriedly greeted: "Hello chairman!"
Wang Zifan nodded and said, "You are Director Du!"
Huang Xizhao smiled: "Now it's the producer!"
Wang Zifan is thoughtful, Du Qifeng is the backbone of wireless job hopping, and can be reused in Jiashi, on the one hand, he is outstanding, on the other hand, it also shows that Huang Xizhao uses people as virtuous style, otherwise Du Qifeng will be crushed to death by Li's series no matter how talented he is, from this point of view, he is really lucky to choose Huang Xizhao to manage Jiashi, the TV station can achieve today's results, Huang Xizhao is indispensable, but it's a pity that he is old!
Du Qifeng pondered for a while and reported: "Chairman, general manager, at present, the preparatory work of "Lu Ding Ji" has entered the final stage, today is the final casting stage, and the results can be announced tomorrow, and it is planned to start shooting in three days!"
Huang Xizhao signaled: "You go and inform me, and Mr. Wang will be responsible for the final audition!"
"Okay!" Du Qifeng hesitated and agreed, he is just a producer, he must be self-aware, in the eyes of the people below, he is a high authority, the leader of "The Legend of Deer and Ding", but in front of Wang Zifan and Huang Xizhao, he is not even qualified to speak, let alone participate in the decision, if any of the two wants to change him now, it will be a matter of one sentence!
Huang Xizhao wanted to say something again, but suddenly he was dizzy, revealing an old state.
Wang Zifan gently supported him and said with concern: "Uncle Huang, you should pay more attention to rest!"
Huang Xizhao covered his forehead and waved his hand, and smiled disapprovingly: "It's nothing, I've been on a business trip a little more recently, just take it slowly!"
"This kind of fatigue and physical injury should be held responsible for the people below!" Wang Zifan looked quite angry, and blamed himself: "It's also my fault, put all the pressure on the TV station on you!"
Huang Xizhao sighed and said: "It's not easy for you, the industry under your command is getting bigger and bigger, which one is not more important than Jiashi, in fact, watching the TV station get better and better, I am also very relieved, it is worth it to be able to do this thing in this life...... Don't talk about this, don't worry! My body can last at least ten more years, but you have to promise me that you will never let the TV station follow in the footsteps!"
Wang Zifan knew that Huang Xizhao was worried that he would sell the shares of the TV station, and that Li's management was chaotic because of the change of equity, and assured: "Don't worry! I will never consider going public within ten years!"
Hearing the promise in person, Huang Xizhao was greatly relieved, his mood was more comfortable, and he smiled and said: "You came here today, it won't be just because of the casting of "The Legend of Deer and Ding", right?"
Wang Zifan's face was slightly red, if it weren't for Chen Yulian, he wouldn't know when he would come back once, and said with a dry smile: "Of course not, I mainly want to know about the latest trends of the TV station, as well as the financial situation!"
Huang Xizhao nodded secretly, this sentence reminded him that the time had entered 1982, and he should have reported to Wang Zifan about his financial profits in 1981, and muttered: "Do you want to go to my office to hold relevant meetings!"
"Just talk about it!" Wang Zifan shook his head, when the TV station had just turned a profit, he paid less attention, and after more than half a year, he should have made a lot of money.
"Okay, I'll ask the financial manager to make a document and send it to you another day!" Huang Xizhao showed a helpless look, pondered for a while, and made a brief report: "Last year, the total profit of the TV station was about 430 million, and I asked the financial manager to save 100 million and return it to DreamWorks, and there should be 200 million left in the account! The production cost of our program is very high, by the way! The copyright of the program in Southeast Asian countries in the latest season is about to arrive again, and there will be about 60 million in March!"
Wang Zifan was surprised: "Profit of 400 million, so much?"
Huang Xizhao said with a smile: "The main thing is to make money from the copyright of the program, such as "Animal World", which can basically sell more than 20 million per issue, and those talk shows, which are currently cooperating with several TV stations in the United States, and it is estimated that the profit will not be less than 10 million US dollars! These are the big heads, and the profits of "The Legend of the Condor Heroes" and "The Legend of the Condor Heroes" are also good, basically about 30 million, which is Hong Kong dollars!"
Wang Zifan sighed: "This profit is about to catch up with DreamWorks!"
Huang Xizhao said: "Compared with TVB, our Jiashi still has great potential, last year's wireless profit was 380 million, and the net profit was 200 million!
"I'll go!" Wang Zifan's smug mood disappeared instantly, and he nodded: "You are right, the quality of our program is much higher than that of the wireless side, and the copyright is selling well, so the profit must be two or three times higher!"
Wang Zifan is not talking big, as we all know, there are now three TV stations in Hong Kong, Jiashi, ATV and TVB, in front of Jiashi and TVB, ATV is a trick, because the two major TV stations account for 80% of Hong Kong market share, TV viewers are nothing more than watching these two programs, therefore, Jiashi TV has already become the core asset of Wang Zifan's media empire, TVB market value is as high as 4 billion Hong Kong dollars, although Jiashi TV is not listed, but the valuation will not be less than 3 billion, he is now plotting a big thing with Wei Yifu, mastering Jiashi, TVB, is equivalent to standing at the top of public opinion, no matter what the future of Hong Kong is, with these two TV stations, they will take the initiative to put down their means to win over, which will help stabilize his identity and status.
Huang Xizhao muttered: "This situation still needs to be precipitated, I estimate that it will take at least two to three years, we are now mainly relying on copyright to make money, Hong Kong's market share is far lower than that of wireless, after all, most of the businesses have cooperated with wireless for many years, and we have opened up the international advertising business is still in the initial stage, only received a few sponsored advertisements from Singapore and Taiwan, due to the recent "Apple Daily" position problem, Taiwan's advertising sponsorship has a downward trend!"
The Taiwan issue is also Wang Zifan's biggest headache, not only the TV station, but also the film sales have encountered resistance, in the past year, he has been busy acquiring Hong Kong Electric and Real Estate Group, there is no time to solve this problem, since Huang Xizhao, Shi Nansheng, Huang Baiming have all noticed, it must be solved now, and asked: "Do you have a solution here?"
Huang Xizhao pondered: "The best solution is to ask the Apple Daily side to change its position!
Wang Zifan vetoed this proposal, because in his heart, the "Hong Kong Daily" is not a fan of the mainland's brains, and since the advent of newspapers and periodicals, its political stance has indeed been to the left, but if it encounters problems of principle, it will not hesitate to criticize them; besides, the current Hong Kong media generally have a favorable attitude towards the mainland, so can Taiwan ban all newspapers and periodicals.
The mainland's reform and opening up is good news for the capitalist camp all over the world, especially for the United States, the two countries are in a honeymoon period, and the Hong Kong media also hope that the mainland will carry out a thorough political change, which is naturally very much advocated in normal times, not only the media, but also the majority of the political parties in Hong Kong at present support the Communist Party, and this situation will continue until seven years later, when the student uprising incident, their attitude will change, and even 180 degrees will be reversed.
Huang Xizhao sighed and reminded tactfully: "In addition to this method, other methods are very slow to work, in the final analysis, Taiwan still needs to believe in your political position, and whether you have this intention or not, you must let them agree, otherwise the two sides will go further and further, and sooner or later they will be completely blocked, and it will be difficult to ease up at that point!"
Wang Zifan did not think so, and it was not Jiang Guangtou who was in power in Taiwan now, but his son, and said tentatively: "As far as I know, the party chairman in Taiwan is quite open-minded now, do you think you can start with guidance and promote ties between Taiwan and the mainland?"
Huang Xizhao was so frightened that he almost fainted, and hurriedly persuaded: "Afan, you must not have such thoughts!"
Wang Zifan said unexpectedly: "Can't you?"
Huang Xizhao said with a wry smile: "How can we participate in this kind of national event, even if the influence of "Apple Daily" is great, it is impossible to make such a character change his mind, you must know that this is not what he wants to change if he wants to change, the hostile consciousness has been deeply rooted in the bone marrow, and if you advocate peace talks now, it will only anger them, and maybe it will be blocked by the mainland, and the two sides will not please them!"
Is it that serious?
Wang Zifan frowned.
Huang Xizhao was worried that Wang Zifan would do something stupid, and continued to say bitterly: "Since the mainland's reform and opening up, Taiwan has become stricter in banning leftist works, do you have any ideas about the reason?"
Wang Zifan's heart moved, and he groaned: "What you said makes sense, now that Sino-US relations have eased, the most tense thing is Taiwan, and they are worried about ......."
Huang Xizhao breathed a sigh of relief and said: "It's good that you understand, don't touch that bottom line, even if you want to do it, you have to wait for both parties to have that meaning, otherwise you can only fall victim!"
Wang Zifan said with a smile: "Don't worry, Uncle Huang, I'm just talking casually, I'll send someone to Taiwan in two days to touch the bottom line over there, this negotiation, the TV station will also send someone to participate, and it is best to reach a tacit understanding!"
Huang Xizhao said: "If we want to negotiate, we have to make it bigger, I don't know if DreamWorks and TV stations, such as Golden Harvest, TVB, and ATV can all participate, the more chips we have, the more we can force them to make concessions, I think Taiwan can't block all entertainment in Hong Kong! That will only make them fall into isolation!"
Wang Zifan praised: "You are right!"
Huang Xizhao smiled and said nothing, and Du Qifeng returned and reminded: "Chairman, the last round of auditions has begun!
Wang Zifan thought for a moment and asked, "Who do you want?"
Du Qifeng said: "Wei Xiaobao has two candidates, Liu Dehua and Liang Chaowei, and the rest of Liu Jialing, Wu Junru, Zeng Huaqian, Zhang Manyu and others were also selected, these are all candidates for the protagonist, and the supporting roles are ......."
Wang Zifan decided: "You can decide on the supporting role, by the way, I recommend someone!"
Du Qifeng said: "Chairman, please speak!"
Wang Zifan said: "Let Wu Mengda play the role of Father-in-law Hai!"
"Okay, no problem!" Du Qifeng agreed, there is another candidate for Gonggong Hai in his mind, but now he has been eliminated, although he doesn't like Wu Mengda, but the boss likes it, this can't be helped, and he will consider easing relations with Wu Mengda in the future.
The audition for "The Legend of Deer and Ding" was held at the venue of the previous training class, and when Wang Zifan arrived, it attracted a lot of attention, and most of them were acquaintances!
"Afan!"
"It's really Afan!"
Liu Dehua and Liang Chaowei all stood up, wanted to come over and make love, glanced at each other, and stopped, but they were a little cramped.
"Big brother!"
Qiu Shuzhen didn't know where to come from, excitedly hugged Wang Zifan's arm, and said coquettishly: "When did you come?"
Wang Zifan smiled: "Aren't you a DreamWorks trainee, why did you come here?"
Qiu Shuzhen smiled and said: "The crew also sent a notice to DreamWorks, not only me, Ye Zimei is also here!"
Wang Zifan was just about to speak, when he found Liu Jialing, who was dressed in ancient costume, walking over with a smile.
"Wang is always good!"
"Not bad!"
Wang Zifan praised it, Liu Jialing's appearance was already good, and now she changed into a red costume costume, adding a bit of charm, and said curiously: "What role do you play?"
Liu Jialing smiled: "Mrs. Sect Master!"
"What a match!"
Wang Zifan said sincerely that Liu Jialing played Fang Yi in the original version, and there was no bright spot in the whole process, especially the makeup, which blinded a big beauty.
Qiu Shuzhen said coquettishly: "Big brother, I want to play Ake!"
Prince Fan Wan'er smiled, pinched her little cheek and said, "I think you are quite suitable for Princess Jianning!"
"Okay!" Qiu Shuzhen not only didn't get angry, but also jumped up happily, she just wanted to play a role, but unfortunately she didn't even have a letter of approval when she auditioned, and now the prince Fan Jinkou Yuyan, who dares to object!
What a majesty!
The rest of the actresses are very envious of Qiu Shuzhen!
Zhang Manyu plucked up his courage and greeted: "Chairman, I'm Zhang Manyu!"
"Hmm!" Wang Zifan didn't react much, Zhang Manyu is also a rare beauty, but it is not the type he likes, and he said casually: "How are you in art school?"
Zhang Manyu said nervously: "I'm going to come to the TV station for an internship!"
Wang Zifan said: "What role did you audition for?"
Zhang Manyu said: "Shuang'er!"
Wang Zifan was speechless, no matter how he looked at Zhang Manyu's temperament, he thought for a while, turned his head to Du Qifeng and asked, "What do you think?"
Du Qifeng said against his will: "Miss Zhang is good!"
Wang Zifan said with a smile: "Let's let her play other roles, Fang Yi is still someone else, you can arrange it!"
"Understood!" Du Qifeng thought to himself that this meant that Zhang Manyu played the heroine, but unfortunately he was optimistic about Mao Xianyun and was about to be replaced again!
