Chapter 48: Three Hopes

48

Andy and William acquired a total of six TV stations this time, located in New York, Boston, Los Angeles and other places, with a total acquisition amount of about 800 million US dollars, a down payment of 80 million, and the remaining 720 million funds, half of which were loaned by Bank of America, and half by Goldman Sachs to issue bonds on Wall Street, agreed to be repaid in installments within 10 years.

The global box office of "The Sixth Sense" has reached 430 million, and the total box office is expected to be close to 500 million, and the box office share is about 90 million, in addition to the down payment of 80 million, there is still quite a lot left. It is believed that with the arrival of follow-up box office funds, Fang Jianhui's financial situation will become more and more prosperous.

As soon as Fang Jianhui arrived in the United States, it was a series of signatures, and after a busy week, he finally completed all kinds of documents and procedures, and then Andy contacted more than 10 TV stations in major cities in North America that had been negotiated in advance, and on August 11, the Fox TV Network was officially established.

The Fox television network covers 80 percent of the population of the United States, and its president is an American named John Butler, an industry elite recruited by Andy. Fang Jianhui found that this person's ability was as high as 94, and he couldn't help but admire Andy's insight. In fact, this is Fang Jianhui's rare and strange situation, Andy, as a top entrepreneur, knows how to use people is actually a basic skill, otherwise the company will get bigger and bigger, and as the CEO, he will be tired to death.

At the first board meeting of the Fox television network, Fang Jianhui listened to John Butler's work report on the development plan of the television network, John Butler was quite ambitious, and expressed confidence that the company would be the fourth largest television network in the United States within five years with the support of Fox Films, second only to the old CBS, ABC and NBC. He doesn't know how to run a TV station, and since this plan has been approved by Andy, it must not be wrong.

Fang Jianhui put forward the idea of adding a music channel or music column, he said: "It's called... MusicTelevision, or MTV for short. Then, he put forward some specific ideas, such as: making music videos to play on MTV, inviting radio music hosts to comment, introducing current popular music, and so on. Andy listened, thought for a while, and then nodded in agreement with Fang Jianhui's thoughts. Since Fang Jianhui and Andy both agreed, and the two of them owned 99% of the company (1% was held by John Butler), the establishment of MTV became the official decision of the company.

From the time Andy and William were ready to set up a TV network, Fang Jianhui had the idea of setting up a music channel, and the reason why he delayed promoting it after Teresa Teng recorded the "Guilty" album was to wait for the establishment of the TV network. Now that there is a television network, of course, it will be done right away.

Not to mention John Butler's going to get the TV network, Fang Jianhui pulled Teresa Teng to start filming the MV, he wanted to shoot five songs in one go, corresponding to the four songs in the "Guilty" album, and Fang Jianhui found another single to buy from the system - the duet song "EndlessLove".

In order to publicize and promote Teresa Teng, Fang Jianhui took great pains to get an MTV as the main position of publicity, and felt that it was not enough, so he thought about it and bought a single in the system mall, and after Fang Jianhui silently recited 'Language: English, Music Style: Pop, Gender: Male and Female Duet', the single "EndlessLove" came to his hands.

Fang Jianhui first recorded "EndlessLove" with Teresa Teng in the recording studio, and then found more than a dozen cameramen, lighting, and recording staff from Fox to get an MV crew to shoot the MVs of the songs one by one. Fang Jianhui's full score of film directing ability is not in vain, and it is really overkill to use it for MV. A song is less than five minutes long, even if Fang Jianhui strives for perfection, it won't take a day to shoot, and within a week, all five songs will be filmed.

The next work was handed over to Fox Records, and after the merger of Angel Records (USA), Fox Records also had a small scale. After Fang Jianhui decided to start the album's charting, promotion, and sales work, the company set up a special team for this purpose, contacting record distributors on the one hand, and various radio stations, television stations and other media on the other.

Once she starts playing the list, Teresa Teng will be busy, so Fang Jianhui has assigned her a special team, including agents, music producers, assistants, bodyguards, makeup artists, etc., among which the assistant is Teresa Teng's good friend Miss Mai, who will accompany her to participate in a series of trips. Fortunately, Teresa Teng's course at USC has ended, and she can devote herself to record work.

"Hello Director Song!" Looking at Song Chuyu, the director of the Taiwan Information Bureau in front of him, Fang Jianhui stretched out his hand.

According to Director Song, he came to the United States on business and came to visit Teresa Teng. After Fang Jianhui found out, he accompanied Teresa Teng to host a banquet at the Hilton Hotel in Beverly Hills to entertain Director Song.

"Fang Gongzi, hello! I have admired Fang Gongzi's name for a long time. Song also stretched out his hand, and the two shook it a few times, laughed, and sat down together. Although Fang Jianhui has never been to Taiwan Island, he is now famous, and Song Chuyu has indeed admired him for a long time.

Song's original intention was to talk to Teresa Teng about returning to Taiwan, but he didn't expect Fang Jianhui to take the initiative to meet him, Fang Jianhui is a figure with a certain influence in the United States, and Taiwan Island has always admired the United States, so Song is also willing to meet with him and make friends.

After greetings, everyone drank and ate food together, and at about the same time, Song Chuyu spoke.

"I originally only knew that Miss Deng had signed a contract with Fang Gongzi's company, but now I look at the two of them..." Seeing Deng Lijun holding Fang Jianhui all the way, and feeding each other vegetables during meals, they were very affectionate, Song Chuyu asked tentatively.

"Don't hide it from Director Song, my relationship with Lijun is indeed not ordinary. Fang Jianhui said: "Radisson has always lived with me in the United States, she is me... Sister Yi. ”

"Uh, Sister Yi!?" Song Chuyu was almost choked, he thought that what he said would be his 'girlfriend', but he didn't expect Fang Jianhui to say it after a big gasp. Righteous sister'!?

"Yes, Sister Yi. Fang Jianhui said solemnly: "We have become sisters and brothers with different surnames, and she is now my own sister." ”

Well, Song Chuyu can see it, whether it is a 'righteous sister' or a girlfriend, in short, Teresa Teng and Fang Jianhui have a very close relationship. This is a bit difficult to do, Deng Lijun now has Fang Jianhui's support, and the conditions he originally prepared are a little not very good.

"That's right, Miss Deng has developed very well in the United States, and she has won glory for the people of Taiwan, and we feel honored on the same island. Song Chuyu said: "There was some misunderstanding between the authorities and Miss Deng before, and now all the turmoil has passed." On behalf of the Government, I would like to formally assure Miss Deng that Miss Deng can return to Taiwan at any time now, and the people of Taiwan will warmly welcome Miss Deng. ”

"Thank you very much, Director Song. Fang Jianhui and Deng Lijun got up together and toasted Song Chuyu.

"However, in order to calm the previous public opinion, I have three hopes for Miss Deng. Song Chuyu changed his words. Fang Jianhui knew that the play meat was coming. "One is that Miss Tang can hold a performance, and then donate the proceeds of the performance to charity. Second, I hope that Miss Deng can take some time out every year to give some condolence performances to the soldiers on the front line. Third, I hope that Miss Deng can agree and will never go to the mainland to perform. ”

Deng Lijun just looked at Fang Jianhui and didn't speak, clearly listening to men.

"Director Song's three hopes, on behalf of my sister, I will reply one by one. Fang Jianhui said: "The first point, the charity performance, there is no problem. ”

"The second point, Director Song may not know that my sister is about to release a new album, and the future schedule will be very intense. Therefore, as a Taiwanese person, it is appropriate to express condolences to the labor army, but first, it cannot be 'every year', and second, the time of each labor army cannot be too long, at most no more than three days. ”

"The third point is that the mainland market is very large, and completely giving up will cause great potential losses to our company, and Director Song is a bit of a strong man. ”

The sky-high asking price, and the landing to repay the money, Fang Jianhui is not afraid of the Taiwan authorities. If he were just a movie boss in Hong Kong, he might still be afraid of the blockade of Taiwan, but he is a big boss of Hollywood in the United States, and he would not dare to ban it with the courage of the Taiwan authorities! Otherwise, if the US State Department protests or sends a note, Taiwan will not be able to eat and go around.

"Young Master Fang, it will be difficult for me to do this with you. "Song Chu fish balabala's poured bitter water.

After some bargaining, a compromise was finally reached: the first article was approved without objection between the two parties; the second article was changed from "every year" to "each labor army must consult with Angel Records in advance, and the labor time of each labor army should not exceed seven days"; and the third article was changed to "only with the permission of the Information Bureau, one can go to the mainland." ’

Although it was unsatisfactory, after all, the negotiation was completed, and the two sides continued to eat and drink again and again.

Fang Jianhui's short trip to the United States was coming to an end, and he was going back to Xiangjiang again, and in the evening, he once again entered melancholy mode.

Lin Qingxia couldn't help but laugh when she saw his appearance, and sneered: "Jianhui, why is it like this again?"

"I'll go back to Xiangjiang tomorrow, and when I think of coming and going in a hurry, I haven't been with you for long, and I feel sorry not to go. Fang Jianhui lay on his back and said sullenly.

"You're just too affectionate. Lin Qingxia stretched out her finger and tapped his forehead. "When you accompany me, you are reluctant to go. When you get to the red beans, you will be reluctant to give up the red beans again. ”

Well, that's true, I do have this problem. Fang Jianhui turned his head, Lin Qingxia was lying on his side facing him, it was the height of summer, she only had a thin blanket on her body, revealing an infinitely beautiful upper body, and the red rhyme on her face had not yet faded.

"Qingxia, you are so beautiful!" Faced with such a beautiful scenery, Fang Jianhui blurted out: "Even if I look at you like this every day, I don't think I can see enough." ”

Sensing the man's love, Lin Qingxia was sweet in her heart: "If you can't see enough, you can watch it for a lifetime, anyway, I will be yours for the rest of my life." ”

Fang Jianhui hugged Deng Lijun on the other side and kissed her: "Sister Lijun too, she will be mine for the rest of her life." ”

"Hmm. Teresa Teng in her arms nodded.
