Chapter 543: The Industry Exploded
Shao Yifu reported the news of MM's goodwill acquisition of TVB to the Xiangjiang Broadcasting Administration, and the Broadcasting Administration asked MM to attend the hearing and explain some issues, which were handled by the head of MM's Asian branch, but it also involved a lot of Mark's energy, and Mark instead wanted to persuade the Hong Kong government and the Legislative Council to convince them that TVB's merger into MM was harmless and beneficial to both parties, TVB is different from Phoenix Satellite TV, their local influence is deeply rooted in the hearts of the people and irreplaceable, no matter from that aspect, foreign control of it is not a good thing, Mark needs to dispel their doubts。
In addition, Giselle and Martin Jr., who are five months pregnant, came to visit him in Xiangjiang, and Mark simply gave himself a few days off to spend a good vacation with his family, and in addition, he and his team took the time to lobby a few bigwigs to agree to their deal.
His two little lovers, of course, were sent back to South Korea, and they couldn't let them meet Giselle, the evil young Jiang Dong is now the time when the chrysanthemums are crippled and the ground is full of wounds, he is miserable by Mark, and he has a handle in his hand, he doesn't dare to provoke Mark no matter what, when he saw the video of Mark and Walker, the commander of the Korean Army, talking happily at the party more than two months ago, he was completely dead, and his ass blossomed.
Mark was acquiring this TVB, and his performance was smooth sailing, but in the end, something changed.
As early as April 2007, Fei Daoyi and He Dingjun, former managing directors of TVB, known as "Shao Yifu's godson", joined ATV as chief executive officer and chief operating officer. Not only that, Fei Daoyi and He Dingjunhai successfully invited Chen Huiguang (former assistant general manager of TVB) and Chen Guanming (former assistant director of TVB's production resources department) to serve as the commander-in-chief of the poaching operation.
It is reported that on ATV's poaching list at that time, there were not only Ouyang Zhenhua, Luo Jialiang, Zhang Jiahui, Xuan Xuan, Guo Keying, Chen Huishan, Cai Shaofen and other front-line front-line officials, but also He Liquan, Zeng Xingming, Wang Qi, Kuang Yesheng and other important ministers behind the scenes, but in the end, due to ATV's lack of financial resources, the matter was over, and wireless suffered huge public opinion pressure during the period, and in the end it was just a false alarm.
But now it's poaching people again, looking at the 40 years of grievances and struggles between wireless and ATV, poaching people from each other has always been the highlight.
In 1989, Lim Pak Yan's Lai Sun Group and Cheng Yu Tung's New World Development Company Limited took over ATV, and a major reform was subsequently undertaken.
After Lin Boxin came to power, he poached a lot of talents from wireless, which was the largest poaching battle of wireless ATV so far. Although TVB is the largest commercial media organization in Hong Kong, the remuneration for artists and behind-the-scenes personnel is quite low, and ATV's high salary is naturally attractive. During that time, ATV successively dug up, Zheng Shaoqiu, Deng Cuiwen, Zeng Huaqian, Chen Yulian, Qi Meizhen, Chen Tingwei and other artists.
After spending a lot of money on poaching, ATV has produced many classic dramas, "Winner is King 1" achieved 21 ratings when it premiered, and the occupancy rate in overseas markets also hit a peak of the year, and it was selected as one of the top 100 Chinese TV stations in Malaysia and Singapore. Dramas such as "Silver Fox" and "The King of Drama" also received good ratings, and they also had a great impact on mainland audiences.
Wireless during this period is also a continuous show, including "People on the Edge", "No Regrets in This Life", "I am Kind", "The Great Era", etc., starring in "People on the Edge", "No Regrets in This Life" Dawn was praised to the big red and became one of the four kings. "The Great Era" starring Liu Qingyun is known as the most outstanding TV series of the 90s of TVB.
In 1998, Lin Boxin was involved in a bribery case in Taiwan and was detained, and in July 1998, his son Lin Jianyue sold 51% of ATV's shares for 700 million Hong Kong dollars.
Now in the past few years, ATV has been pressed by wireless.
By 1999, ATV introduced two dramas, "Huanzhu Gege" and "Yongzheng Dynasty", but wireless did not pay attention to these two non-local TV series at all. As a result, the two dramas both reported successes, especially "Huanzhu Gege" set off a viewing frenzy in Xiangjiang, symbolizing the turnaround of ATV, which has always been regarded as the "second milk station", and the ratings were as high as 6%.
Wireless high-level in the face of "Little Swallow" fist embroidery legs and funny kung fu,Completely helpless,8month13The ratings data released show that the ratings of the golden age of wireless are a comprehensive failure,ATV with an average of 3 points of ratings surpassed wireless,This is the first time in the history of wireless 32 years,Hong Kong's "Ming Pao" once said: "This can be compared with Halley's Comet." ”
In November, TVB launched the cross-century 100-episode long drama "Genesis", which was performed by more than 100 well-known artists such as Chen Jinhong and Wang Mingquan, and finally turned the tide. The sequel to "The Great Era" launched by ATV at the same time failed to allow ATV to take advantage of the situation and maintain a good victory.
Asia Television, which often changes dynasties, changed hands again before the 50th anniversary of Taiwan this year, and Cha Mou Sing, chairman of Mingli Group, a subsidiary of the Cha family of HKR, became the largest shareholder of ATV.
Every time ATV changes hands, it will have an impact on wireless, and the new owner will come up with a lot of wires, large-scale dramas and TV shows, trying to challenge the authority of wireless and gain more share.
Heung Kong's TV dramas have always been the most well-known and enduring part of the "Made in Heungjiang" brand, and with the continuous output of Heung Kong TV dramas and many stars for more than 20 years, the TV stations that have been hidden behind the scenes have become the "star factory" talked about by Chinese audiences In addition to Yanjing's CCTV, wireless and ATV are the most representative TV brands among Chinese audiences, ATV was officially launched in April 1956, and has been leading the way, but since 1967, Run Run Shaw and Li Xiaohe and others joined forces to create TVB, at that time Li Xiaohe was the largest shareholder, and the first chairman of the board of directors of TVB, and the main force of Run Run Shaw is still in Shaw Pictures.
The two began a life-and-death battle for supremacy. Two commercial TV stations in Xiangjiang, a small place, have been at war for up to 40 years because of ratings and advertisers, the "root of all evil", and although TVB, which is about to celebrate its 40th anniversary, has been firmly on the throne of Hong Kong's No. 1 TV station for 10 years, with the new consortium and a large group of former wireless executives entering Asia Television at the beginning of this year, the new ATV logo costing millions was officially launched on October 8, as well as the defection of many new programs and former wireless artists, and the ATV that has been rumored to be used as a "silver bullet" The policy poached many wireless brothers and sisters, and the Hong Kong TV circle, which had been calm for a long time, reappeared in the "rivers and lakes", and a vicious battle between the two stations was inevitable.
ATV has undergone a change in equity in a short period of time, just like a military accident as sudden and rapid, led by the shell king Chen Guoqiang, Taiwan's Wang family joined, China Star's Xiang brothers and other Asian media companies were established, and the original largest holding party Xingye Cha family became the fourth largest shareholder.
As soon as the new shareholders entered, they formulated an ambitious plan to revive ATV, and the reason why they were full of confidence was that the new shareholders were all masters who were not short of money, and any of the four major shareholders was almost the same as the Shaw family, and they had formed a pressure on their financial resources.
After the Shell King knew that the acquisition of the owner failed, he immediately formulated an acquisition plan with his consortium, and quickly started with ATV, and the Xiang brothers switched to their arms because they were kicked out by Shao Yifu, so they changed to cooperate with Asian media, they wanted to give Mark a good look.
We don't know whether the Xiangjiang TV pattern is evenly divided or outnumbered or maintained as it is,But I believe that with the development of the same wrestling between the two stations,The ultimate benefit will be the majority of TV audiences,There are dramas after the dominance of wireless in recent years、The level of artists has declined repeatedly,This wireless ATV is about to set off"TV storm"I believe that it will promote the progress of Xiangjiang TV standards in the competition。 Hong Kong TVB and Asia Television are the two largest private commercial television stations in Hong Kong. Looking back on the history of Xiangjiang TV for more than 50 years, the battle between TVB and ATV has never stopped, and it is definitely a set of martial arts masterpieces that are more interesting than any TV series produced by the two TV.
Now there is a touch between them.
In the past, ATV could not fight wireless, because they have their own artist training class, can train their own artists, there are more than 80,000 square meters of film and television city in Clear Water Bay, which can further reduce costs, since the Shaw Brothers became the owner, they are monolithic inside and behind, and can calmly deal with the battle, while ATV does not have its own artist training class, there is no film and television city, the operation is high, you can be aggressive when you have money, and you have to change the owner when you have no money.
Now that the Asian media have taken over ATV, it can be called a raptor crossing the river, with wealth and power, but on the contrary, this wireless has the possibility of changing hands.
Shao Yifu regards wireless as his life, if the situation allows, he will continue to operate, but now Bi Jing is 100 years old, he is powerless, his life is legendary, but there are also housework that is constantly cut and messy. He and his first wife have two sons and two daughters, who were raised by Run Run Shaw's brother in Singapore from an early age. Later, the two sons joined the board of directors of the Shaw Brothers to help their father with his business.
Until 1981, the eldest son Shao Weiming was dissatisfied with Fang Yihua's entry into Shaw Brothers to take power, so he withdrew from the board of directors with his second son and moved to Singapore, and the father and son broke off relations for 20 years, and the Cold War lasted until 2006, Shao Yifu won the "Lifetime Achievement Award" at the Asia-Pacific Film Festival Shao Weiming, who has rarely appeared in public, suddenly made a high-profile modern father to accept the award, and was photographed having dinner with his father and Fang Yihua, but they have left wireless for 20 years, and they have no intention of returning to wireless, they are also in their seventies, and when it is time to retire, they don't want to be like their father, who is still working hard at the age of 100.
In the past two years, there has been Shao Yifu looking for a wireless next media, he took a fancy to the rapid rise from North Mi MM, this cutting-edge giant company from the United States, with strong film and television production and distribution capabilities, is second to none in Hollywood, the whole company, all rejoicing, but their old opponents have also found the owner, ready to attack them.
But they are also used to it, they have fought non-stop for decades, several wars, when were they afraid? MM is also the strong man who won the colosseum in Hollywood, and the film and television works produced are overwhelming the world, this is the top production company, hugging this thick leg, and still afraid of the little loach of ATV?
Mark assured in his testimony in the Legislative Council that even if he joins TVB, he will ensure that his original position will remain unchanged, serve Hong Kong, and will not do anything contrary to the spirit of the Basic Law, as for the funding problem that the Legislative Council Broadcasting Authority is worried about, Mark announced MM's financial forecast for the second quarter in advance, MM has cash reserves of 6 billion US dollars, with a market value of 75 billion, officially starting Disney and Weiwucom, becoming the third largest media group in market value after News Corporation and Time Warner.
