Chapter 0258 is not competing on one level
"Most of the artists were asked to sign new contracts." Zhao Yazhi looked at the man behind him in the mirror and smiled, "Obviously, you scared people." ”
"It's really sophisticated enough, and it directly grasps the crux of the problem." Tang Huan shook his head, and there was a hint of appreciation in his tone.
"You don't want to poach people with a high salary, do you?" Zhao Yazhi asked worriedly.
"It's not enough to turn your face over this little thing, but to a certain extent, it's true that the artist reserve is insufficient." Tang Huan shook his head thoughtfully, Shaw Brothers Films, TVB and their artist training classes cooperate with each other, like a magnet to attract a large number of young men and women with star potential to take the initiative to throw themselves to the door, so the root of solving the problem lies in their own star-making ability.
After chatting for a while about what TVB had seen and heard, Zhao Yazhi cleaned up Tang Huan's messy newspaper, and pointed to the full-page advertisement in the "South China Morning Post" and smiled, "After Pan Disheng saw my boutique clothing store, he repeatedly said that the direction of this business was too accurate, and he also wanted to invest in this aspect." ”
"Of course, I don't see who came up with the idea." Tang Huan is not modest at all.
"You're the best, aren't you?" Zhao Yazhi glanced at Tang Huan, picked up a stack of cards and looked at it.
"You know best how good I am." Tang Huan smiled and stretched out his hand.
"Don't make trouble, the computer team I led will soon be on TV, and if you don't hurry up and make up for it, you will fall behind." Zhao Yazhi opened Tang Huan's hand with disgust.
As part of its marketing, the advertising department of Zheru Xiangjiang launched a television program with 20 celebrities each leading a group of middle school students. Knowledge contests were held on TVB and Leigh's TV. The winner will face off. The format is similar to that of the four major leagues in the United States, which is extremely intense, which has really attracted the attention of a large number of families, and the ratings are naturally quite impressive.
Computer knowledge is not as boring as imagined, and there are countless possibilities for the application of this field alone, but the general public has not yet realized it.
However, this game is more high-end. Not to mention the English and math proficiency requirements for middle school students, and even some celebrities complained a little, but the participants were very positive about the high prize money.
"With me as an expert here, isn't it reluctant to look at those knowledge cards?" Tang Huan laughed and pressed Zhao Yazhi under him.
……
After the arrival of the TV station, the various activities are not ordinary, no matter how streamlined Tang Huan is, some appearances that calm the hearts of the military from all walks of life and promise a bright future are still unshirkable, such as interacting with the artist as a separate team today.
casually flipped through the roster, Tang Huan shook his head secretly. The artist resources left by Li's TV obviously lack youthful vitality. Most of them were born before 1950, and those who played sidekick hovered between 1951 and 1952.
There are only a handful of youths like Leslie Cheung, Wan Ziliang, and Wen Xueer.
The emerging Ma Miner and Cai Qionghui were suddenly promoted during the filming of "Crocodile Tears" in 1978, when the former was still in the third phase of Li's TV artist training class, and the latter served as Li's TV weather reporter.
This success, on the surface, is due to the producer's knowledge, but it is not due to a shortage of manpower and overstretched, otherwise he would not have been spoiled by others when filming "Silkworm Transformation" last year, and ran away from the actor Xu Shaoqiang, and temporarily changed the actor halfway.
However, under such limited resources, the quality of "Tai Chi Zhang Sanfeng", "A Family of Four" and "Little Heart Wish" being broadcast by Media Asia TV is still excellent.
In particular, Mi Xue's creativity of playing two roles in "Tai Chi Zhang Sanfeng" can be said to be eye-catching, and this TV series is a collaborative work between Mai Dangxiong and Xiao Ruoyuan, but it's a pity that they don't serve their new boss.
"Mr. Tang, Miss Hu asked me to inform you that the meeting can begin." Leslie Cheung stood at the door and said.
"Don't worry, you come in first, I have something to ask you." Tang Huan leaned back in his chair and put his feet on the table without any image.
"Mr. Tang, please speak." Leslie Cheung walked in with a grin and sat down on the table with his legs raised.
Like Chen Baiqiang, Leslie Cheung is also from everyone's background, although he is now looking for his own way, but the heritage is still there, such as his sister Zhang Luping, who was selected as one of the top ten outstanding young people in Hong Kong in 1978, which is the benefit of receiving a good education and the social upward channel.
Having studied in the UK, Leslie Cheung's artistic style with a broad vision takes an avant-garde and rebellious route, which is currently a little ungrounded and needs to be dormant for a while, but it also means that a great opportunity to use it for his own use is in front of him.
"How about thinking about it, change your brokerage contract to DreamWorks, and then just like Zhang Delan, create an exclusive image for you, and fulfill your dream of singing." Tang Huan asked directly.
Although Leslie Cheung, Chen Baiqiang, and Paul Chung both belong to the manager Tan Guoji, the focus is now on Chen Baiqiang, which can be seen from the role assignment in the movie "Applause", Leslie Cheung plays the villain.
You must know that now artists attach great importance to their own image, and if it is frozen, it is very difficult to change it, and Leslie Cheung accepted this challenge, but this also happened to show his difference and acting talent.
"Why don't you wait for the expiration date, it's not good for me to propose a breach of contract." Leslie Cheung scratched his head in embarrassment.
"That'll do fine." Tang Huan nodded, "Then you can calm down and concentrate on cultivation first, and I'll find an opportunity to send you to the United States to see the fashion trends over there." ”
"Thank you, Mr. Tang, for promoting." Leslie Cheung snapped his fingers excitedly.
"By the way, movies and TV series with the theme of youth idols have been very popular recently, and you have at least one more movie and a TV series to do, so you can't make mistakes." Tang Huan deliberately mentioned the other party who was still a little uncertain.
"Mr. Tang, don't worry, I've always been very serious about my work, and this year I want to play the sequel to "Ouchi Heroes". But at the expense of the image. Shaved a bald head. Leslie Cheung patted his chest and promised.
"Mr. Tang. Miss Hu asked me to urge you, everyone is waiting for you to have a meeting. Weng Jingjing stood at the door and said.
Leslie Cheung was startled and quickly left the table and stood up.
"Okay, I'll go." Tang Huan picked up the file and walked out of the office, while Leslie Cheung and Weng Jingjing were left behind.
"You're dead, there are no rules in the boss's office." Weng Jingjing smiled and whispered a threat.
"A meal." Leslie Cheung held up a finger and said the terms of the compromise.
"Let me think about it." Weng Jingjing smiled slyly.
"I remembered. You're still in school, right, and you're filming at the same time, okay? Remembering that Weng Jingjing was Tang Huan who went to TVB in the original time and space, he turned his head and asked.
"No problem at all, the homework in school is so easy." Weng Jingjing raised her head and looked at Tang Huan confidently.
"That's right. However, it's a bit of a pity that your IQ doesn't concentrate on reading. Tang Huan smiled and nodded, "It's better to continue to study in your studies and be my secretary in the future." ”
After making a small joke, Tang Huan turned around and strode towards the conference room.
Leslie Cheung smiled. stopped Weng Jingjing, "This gossip is not small. It's worth a meal. ”
"Stingy." Weng Jingjing snorted, "Let's go, don't be late for the meeting." ”
……
"Got the meeting I gave you, right?" Tang Huan greeted gently.
"Thank you, Mr. Tang, for the red envelope." Everyone in the audience responded.
"I often see everyone's faces on the screen, but some people can't click on it, so I'll just name a few names." Tang Huan shook the roster in his hand.
As soon as they heard this, the artists below hurriedly sat upright, holding their breath and concentrating.
Bai Biao......
Wu Weiguo......
Ma Min'er ......
Cai Qionghui......
"Zheng Wenya." Tang Huan finally pronounced a name, then his eyes fell on the other party, and he smiled and waved his hand, motioning for her to sit down again.
The 1979 Miss Hong Kong champion and most photogenic Miss was a high jumper and the holder of the Hong Kong women's record from 1978 to 1980.
It is an exaggeration that after Zheng Wenya was elected, she signed a contract with Li's TV during her tenure, and officially switched to Li's TV after leaving office, which caused quite a stir.
In the original time and space, the goddess shape of the Hong Kong Film Awards trophy was copied from Zheng Wenya.
It can be said that Zheng Wenya can be regarded as a good card for Media Asia TV, however, being elected Miss Hong Kong does not mean that it is suitable to take the road of the entertainment industry, and the situation of the previous sessions also shows this, let's see if there will be a new breakthrough for the time being.
So far, Tang Huan has been on the front line in person, and he has mastered how many resources he has spent more than 100 million Hong Kong dollars and bought.
"In the next stage, the company will continue to carry out new film and television shooting, at least two high-quality martial arts TV series, one of the heroes and heroines of the TV series have been decided, namely Liu Songren and Mi Xue, especially Mi Xue, the heroine of the other TV series should also be you, so you must be ready to be busy, and others will also be full of work. In addition, the operating mechanism of DreamWorks may be a little different from that of other peers, and I hope you can learn to adapt to it. ”
Tang Huan made a simple speech, and after brushing up on the boss's sense of existence, he left the scene, and the specific work will naturally have Hu Yinmeng and the three new assistants he arranged for her to be responsible.
……
After returning to the office, Huang Xizhao, Zhou Liang Shuyi, Zhong Jinghui and others had already been waiting there and began to report some situations one after another.
Tang Huan listened roughly for a moment, and then waved his hand, "I have basically mastered the situation of Media Asia TV, how to operate it next, I don't ask too much, my energy is still on the old business, please bother." ”
The three of them hurriedly said that they should be, and at the same time they couldn't help but rejoice in their hearts, it seems that the boss is not an ordinary person who values himself.
Tang Huan pondered for a moment, "In addition, the TV station will also synchronize with the world in terms of technical means, such as live broadcast through microwave technology, you have a preparation in your heart, and it will be good to cooperate with the engineering department to implement it when the time comes." ”
The three of them agreed while glancing at each other, and a thought turned in their hearts at the same time, "This Mr. Tang is really not stingy to invest in the TV station, with microwave live broadcast, at least live news, sports events and other program formats can be put on the agenda immediately." ”
"That's right. Television stations are putting more effort into the selection of news anchors. This should be much more vivid than reading the newspaper dryly. Tang Huan couldn't help but casually make another request. Then he laughed self-deprecatingly, "I just said I couldn't ask about the specifics, and I ended up breaking the vows so quickly." ”
"Mr. Tang is well-informed, and every suggestion is very pertinent, and we hope that you will say as much as possible." Zhou Liang Shuyi smiled and quipped, "We will equip a beautiful news anchor as soon as possible, this is definitely a beautiful program landscape." ”
"That's what I said, not necessarily true. You decide according to the actual situation. Tang Huan stood up, "I have other things, so I won't continue to stay." ”
The three of them sent Tang Huan to the door of the building, and just as Zhou Mi arrived, Tang Huan met him and got into the car.
"I've already told Run Run Shaw to meet at the Peninsula Hotel, so let's go over." Zhou Mi said.
Tang Huan nodded, "Liang Yusheng's side, except for "Pingxia Film", how can other works be talked about?" ”
Liang Yusheng's number of martial arts novels far exceeds that of Jin Yong. There are more than 30 books, and he considers the three books "Pingxia Film", "The Legend of Empress Qiying" and "Yunhai Jade Bow Edge" as representative works. However, Tang Huan felt that "Seven Swords Under the Heavenly Mountain" and "The Legend of the White-Haired Witch" also had adaptation value, so he simply planned to win it in one fell swoop.
"Zhu Bangfu and Sima Ling have long been in harmony with these Hong Kong literary colleagues, and "Ping's Tracer Film" has been completed so quickly, and the other four are naturally not a problem." This matter is too easy, and Zhou Mi doesn't pay attention to it at all.
……
"It is estimated that Tang Huan has already sorted out the affairs of the TV station, and then he remembered to give us an explanation." Fang Yihua's tone was full of resentment.
"It's enough to remember seeing each other." Run Run Shaw shook his head with a little emotion, "People have booked all the advertisements for the second half of next year, and it is clear that they do not look at the competition between the two TV stations." With the addition of the new art city, the film industry in Xiangjiang is about to become a three-way world. Xiangjiang's entertainment industry is really about to change. ”
"These people are all doing business that hurts people, TV stations and movies are not so easy to control, if they don't do it, they will lose all their money, I don't believe they can survive for long." Fang Yihua disdainfully concluded based on his years of experience in the industry.
"You, the pattern is not big enough, I don't know that even if you hurt people with this, people can afford to play." Run Run Shaw patiently pointed out, "Among the shareholders of Media Asia TV, isn't there a Wang family from Baodao, Formosa Plastics Group is the largest enterprise in Baodao, although Tang Huan only made friends with the daughter and uncle of the second room, but how many interests have been involved, outsiders will not know." With the current shareholder structure of Media Asia TV, it is extremely simple to go to the bank for a loan. ”
"This Tang Huan, didn't he come out of the mainland, how could he still have such a deep relationship with the treasure island?" Fang Yihua, who understood it, was very depressed, "Coupled with his background in the United States, it gives me the feeling that everyone is not competing at the same level at all." ”
"This is the situation, don't you notice that Tang Huan's industry in Xiangjiang, every marketing activity will include TVB and our artists, especially the computer knowledge competition, which actually made the final winner of the two TV stations duel. Obviously, Media Asia TV is just a tool bought to facilitate shouting and cheering and serving the publicity needs of the entire group. Shaw continued to analyze.
"He really has money to burn, just for this purpose, we TVB can fully meet his requirements, why bother to get involved in the TV industry." Fang Yihua is not worth it for Tang Huan.
"Maybe he has something else in mind, I still don't see it." Run Run Shaw confidently speculated, "I feel that Tang Huan, a young man, doesn't care too much about the competition between our two businesses, and is completely a laissez-faire attitude. ”
"But he actually comes across as ambitious." Fang Yihua disagrees with Shaw's view.
"Maybe his ambition isn't in Xiangjiang." Run Run Shaw smiled slightly, "Didn't Tang Huan buy a Hollywood company, maybe we can also follow Golden Harvest and use the resources in Tang Huan's hands to go to Hollywood to test the water." ”
As soon as she heard this, Fang Yihua became more and more unhappy, she thought that there was no way out for movies, and TV stations were the inevitable trend of mass entertainment.
But Run Run Shaw, who started his business from the starting point of movies, has a soft spot for movies and has never been able to give up, and even though the Shaw Brothers Company is under great pressure now, he still stubbornly maintains the big studio system, and Fang Yihua has no way to persuade him.
Because she herself doesn't know what Shaw really thinks about missing Bruce Lee and letting Golden Harvest take advantage of the loophole.
The two were silent, Tang Huan came as promised, first of all, he sincerely thanked, "In the process of acquiring Li's TV, thanks to Uncle Six's goodwill position, I got a complete TV station and team. ”
"It's nothing. I've always been a person first, and then a business. Run Run Shaw waved his hand magnificently, "What's more, it's all your own ability." ”
"Ms. Shao, thank you for your care." Tang Huan greeted Fang Yihua with a smile.
"No, I didn't help at all." Fang Yihua didn't appreciate it and sent Tang Huan's thanks back in its original form.
"Inaction is also a realm, and I still understand this." Tang Huan and Run Run Shaw glanced at each other and laughed quite tacitly.
Fang Yihua frowned, she is very good at the intrigue of corporate politics, but she is not used to macro layout and speculation about the intentions of opponents, and she is even more disgusted with the young Tang Huan, who is actually on an equal footing with Run Run Shaw. (To be continued......)
