Chapter 0259 Tacit Monopoly of the Market
"Mr. Tang is really far-sighted, first got the artist employment agreement, and then bought the TV station, which now makes TVB's situation quite embarrassing." Fang Yihua relies on her identity as a woman, in this kind of occasion, she has always played the role of a white face, even if the words are appropriate, no one will really care about her, right? It is possible to test the opponent's bottom line.
"I'm not a clever Zhuge Liang, how can I be so clever, but at the right time, when I was talking about e-commerce cooperation in the UK and Li's Yingsheng, I learned that they intended to shrink their business in Asia, so I saw that Hunter was happy to do it." Tang Huan opened his eyes and said nonsense and snorted haha.
Run Run Shaw breathed a sigh of relief in his heart, he would rather believe that what Tang Huan said was true, otherwise the other party would have such a scheming at a young age, it would be terrible, even if he said that it would be better for Tang Huan to buy a TV station to distract himself, but the actual feeling was not as good as expected.
"At the right time?" Fang Yihua muttered stupidly, "But the determination and courage shown by Mr. Tang are not as easy as they can be." ”
"There's no way, once you get involved, you can't allow failure, otherwise others will think I'm afraid of the Australian consortium and the British in Xiangjiang." Tang Huan explained leisurely, "Sometimes, I really can't afford to lose face, and the sixth uncle can see this as young and vigorous. ”
Run Run Shaw nodded approvingly, "Yes, sometimes, you have to fight for business. ”
"DreamWorks and TVB were partners at the beginning, but now they have become competitors, especially TVB was originally monolithic. It's because of that artist employment agreement. As a result, it has become an undefended breakthrough for Media Asia TV. Fang Yihua finally said what she was really worried about.
Ms. Fang was overly concerned. I don't know if you've heard of it, but Media Asia has separated its artist department from DreamWorks, and in the future, TV dramas will be provided by DreamWorks, or some of them will be purchased through other channels. Tang Huan gave Fang Yihua a slightly calming gesture.
"In other words, the artist employment agreement between us has nothing to do with Media Asia TV, and the programs produced by DreamWorks are purchased by the two TV stations on an equal footing." Tang Huan spread his hands lightly. "Actually, I just bought an artist department for DreamWorks."
"Anyway, it's all the property in Mr. Tang's name, it's nothing more than the difference between the left hand and the right hand, and it's not something that Mr. Tang will decide at that time." Fang Yihua's heart knot is not so easy to open.
"I won't directly manage the affairs of TV stations and DreamWorks, after all, people's energy is limited, I still have to be busy with my old business, and I still have to enjoy a good life." Tang Huanyun smiled lightly.
"I hope so." Fang Yihua nodded and accepted this explanation. At the same time, I was ruthless, and when the time came, I stopped all the good TV series of DreamWorks. Watching Media Asia TV is not closed.
Looking at the decisiveness that flashed in Fang Yihua's eyes, Tang Huan could guess her little abacus, so he reminded the other party mischievously, "Just like TVB has made many restrictions in the artist employment agreement, there must be conditions for DreamWorks to buy works abroad, such as the broadcast time, etc., when the time comes, Ms. Fang should not turn around and blame me for coaxing you because she has encountered unsatisfactory." ”
was told by Tang Huan that she thought in her heart, Fang Yihua couldn't help but have a fever on her face, but she was an iron lady, so she naturally knew how to get out of the predicament, so she changed her words and talked about specific things, "Mr. Tang, TV series are also a commodity, why not take advantage of the good market and follow up quickly?" "Shang_ Beach" will not make a sequel for the time being, will "The King of a Thousand Kings" still waste such an opportunity? It's better to simply license it to TVB. ”
Glancing at the smiling Shaw, Tang Huan understood in his heart that some of the conditions put forward by Fang Yihua, who was charging in front, were not what he meant.
With the success of the pioneering work, the effect of following the trend will naturally be good, and the other party's intention to pick up cheap is very urgent.
"Didn't DreamWorks already give up the film rights to "Shanghai Beach"?" Tang Huan had a look of embarrassment on his face.
"That's a movie, this is a TV series." Looking at Tang Huan's painful expression, Fang Yihua felt very relieved, "Besides, the hero and heroine of the movie originally planned to copy the configuration of the TV series, but Ah Zhi is not interested in filming now, and he is willing to agree to the cameo, but the leading actor is unwilling." ”
That is, Zhao Yazhi is currently busy with the focus of his new career, and naturally his interest in filming has been transferred, not to mention that Shaw Brothers has always been meticulous in planning, and the hard work of filming can be imagined, so it is strange that his woman's enthusiasm for participating in the film is not affected.
After this thought flashed in his heart, Tang Huan felt that his performance was almost over, so he reluctantly said: "Okay, the sequel to "The King of a Thousand Kings" will be filmed by TVB. ”
"Then it's decided, I'll go to Miss Hu soon to finalize the matter." At this point, Yihua is finally satisfied.
"My sincerity, Ms. Fang should be satisfied." Tang Huan laughed loudly, "Everyone understands that it is impossible for the Xiangjiang official to allow only one voice in the field of TV stations, and as long as there are two TV stations, there will inevitably be competition, which is determined by the law of survival." In that case, then it is better to leave it to the people below, anyway, we can maintain cooperation and trust at the top, isn't that good? ”
Run Run Shaw nodded, "Media Asia TV is in the hands of Mr. Tang, which really reassures me." ”
Obviously, Run Run Shaw recognized the situation that had taken shape at the moment, no matter how the two TV stations fight, it was a matter for the people below, if it really went too far, it would be restrained, and he and Tang Huan still maintained a friendly relationship.
The two TV stations are actually tacitly monopolizing the industry in Xiangjiang, such as jointly manipulating advertising prices, so as not to have the loss phenomenon of "Turn" being cut in half.
Fang Yihua looked at Tang Huan, who no longer paid attention to him, and talked happily with Run Run Shaw, and couldn't help but feel cold in his heart.
As for how his subordinates were dissatisfied with the various harsh measures he had taken in order to save resources, Fang Yihua couldn't have heard of it, but he just didn't bother to react. Even in her heart, she was secretly proud of what she had achieved. But now compared with Tang Huan's ruthless and majestic method of opening the stream. It's just too pediatric.
Seeing that the relationship between the two TV stations had reached an understanding and tacit understanding on this trip, and Tang Huan was about to get up and say goodbye, Run Run Shaw suddenly changed his words and asked: "Didn't Mr. Tang buy Hollywood's United States, what will happen next?" ”
"The water in Hollywood is too deep, and I'm going to wait and see for a while." Tang Huan replied with a deep groan: "Now the general trend in Hollywood is like this, companies such as Paramount, Warner, Universal, and MGM have all become subsidiaries of another group, and the situation of Luen Mei is very normal, and it is not as magical as it is spread in Xiangjiang." ”
"At least. If the movies on the Xiangjiang side want to enter Hollywood, they have an easier partner to communicate with. Shaw's tone was tentative.
"Of course, this is an unshirkable responsibility, and I am willing to contribute to the development of Chinese films." Tang Huan said awe-inspiringly, and then his expression turned cautious, "But I feel that I might as well take a look at Golden Harvest's performance in Hollywood first, the current response to "Killer Trench" can only be said to be decent." ”
He remembers that in the original time and space, the American box office of "Cannonball Speed", which will be released next year, was so-so. But the word-of-mouth is not satisfactory, and Cheng Long and Xu Guanwen are the first-line stars of Xiangjiang. has become a trick in the movie, but as a result, the base camp of Xiangjiang only got a box office of more than 5 million, which is hundreds of thousands less than this year's "Killer Trench", and they are all sorry for the names of Cheng Long and Xu Guanwen.
There must be some links in this that have not been smoothed, so it is better to let Jiahe continue to be a guinea pig first, and observe it carefully at close range, so as not to trap Run Run Shaw and drag down the tacit understanding just reached.
Seeing that Tang Huan gave a conservative answer, and Run Run Shaw fell into thinking, Fang Yihua, who had no love for movies, hurriedly sent Tang Huan away, and when he came back, he tried to dispel Shaw's idea of going to Hollywood for an adventure.
"What Tang Huan said is very pertinent, let's see Jiahe's performance first." Run Run Shaw waved his hand, "Let's prepare well for the filming of the TV series "Dragon Babu". The current situation is that Tang Huan and I are sitting on a high place, watching you little minions fighting back and forth, even if you make a fuss, we will not hurt the harmony. But the upper hand still has to be grabbed, the TV station is someone's side business, but our main business. ”
"Don't worry, although Li's TV has been renamed as Media Asia TV, the team has not changed, and even mainstays like Mai Dangxiong and Xiao Ruoyuan have left, and Zhou Liang Shuyi is not only our TVB going out, but also suffered a failure on Jiayi TV, I don't believe she can set off any waves." Fang Yihua replied with an oath.
"That's good." Run Run Shaw nodded, and the smile on his face was a little more, "If the two TV stations can avoid unnecessary entanglements and join forces to control the entire industry as Tang Huan envisioned, it would be a wonderful thing." However, the premise is that the two TV stations should be separated. ”
"How many years have the master-slave status of the two TV stations been maintained, didn't the outside world say that our TVB is inertial ratings." Seeing that Run Run Shaw had let go of Hollywood movies, Fang Yihua was relieved.
……
After Tang Huan said goodbye and got into the car, he couldn't help but think thoughtfully.
As soon as Run Run Shaw talked about the movie just now, Fang Yihua looked like he was eager to drive himself away immediately, which is quite a doorway.
After all, even if Run Run Shaw is still ambitious about movies, it is an objective fact that he is old, and he needs an agent to implement his ideas, but the large-scale studio system of Shaw Brothers Films is in urgent need of reform, I am afraid that Fang Yihua has no confidence in himself, so is the relatively competitive environment of a TV station attractive?
The corners of Tang Huan's mouth curled, I'm afraid Fang Yihua won't be so wishy-washy, although he doesn't have the time to personally operate the TV station and DreamWorks, but just coming up with ideas on this platform is enough for everyone to drink a pot, but the current suitable stars are not enough.
"It's not okay if people don't accept old age." Tang Huan shook his head with emotion for Run Run Shaw's lack of strength, "The mess of the TV station is finally almost sorted out." Huzi, let's go back to the company. ”
While driving, Lu Xiaohu mentioned an incident that had just happened, an employee made an order for a bar information system, and the other party paid for the computer hardware, but after the training, the warehouse management software that manages wine and other materials was delayed, saying that it had been included in the payment for the computer. It doesn't make sense at all. He also beat people. After the police interrogated. There was no way to resolve this economic dispute for a while.
"What is the other party's bottom line." After Tang Huan heard this, he couldn't help but be a little annoyed, isn't this bullying.
"The bar is a business, and it must inevitably have something to do with the club, and it is an agent made by a big guy who launches his own cheap brother-in-law." Lu Xiaohu snorted disdainfully, a hint of coldness flashed in his eyes, "Since these guys are so unsophisticated, let them lose their big mistakes." I found an opportunity to take someone to smash this bar. ”
"We're porcelain, they're bricks, and we can't mess with a piece of software." Tang Huan rubbed his eyebrows, "That, after a while, the suspicion has passed, check this bar in person, there must be fake wine, and then pretend to be a drunk to vent his anger." Do what you have to do. ”
"High." Lu Xiaohu laughed heartily. "That's it, when will our brothers suffer this kind of loss, I will make them cry without tears before the Lunar New Year."
"How's that employee's injury?" Tang Huan asked instead.
"Hospitalized, but it's not serious, it's all trauma, and one of my arms is broken." Lu Xiaohu shook his head, "A weak scholar, his temper is still so tendonous, and he suffered a loss in front of him." ”
"I'll take a look." Tang Huan motioned for Lu Xiaohu to turn.
"If you go. Then the teachers will move the people. Lu Xiaohu was a little unhappy.
"Now that I know, how can I not ask in person, my subordinates are injured for the benefit of the company, and they can't chill people's hearts." Tang Huan's attitude was very resolute.
"Then I have to find a place to make a call, you are a big boss, you can't go empty-handed." Lu Xiaohu felt helpless.
"Can't be shabby, or are you thoughtful." Tang Huan bowed slightly, then frowned and sighed, "It seems that Xiangjiang here still doesn't have enough understanding of the concept of software, an intangible product." ”
"To be honest, I don't quite understand, isn't it all in the computer, why do you collect money separately, and sometimes it's even more expensive than a computer." Lu Xiaohu laughed.
", if you think so, I'm going to lose my family." Tang Huan reprimanded angrily.
"Although I don't understand the reason, I know that if you don't give us money, you can't do it." Lu Xiaohu parked the car with a grin and went down to make a phone call.
……
After arriving at the hospital, Tang Huan, who was originally calm, couldn't help but get angry.
It's true that his subordinates have suffered external injuries, but the problem is that they are basically hit in the face, although it is not serious, but it is ugly, how does it feel wrong, there is no need for this.
After putting down the condolences and the condolences money, Tang Huan really asked warmly, "What about your family?" ”
"I didn't dare to inform my family, wait until my face is better, and then I'll talk about it." The other party replied.
"It's okay, you can be hospitalized with peace of mind, and the company will arrange everything properly." Tang Huan turned his head and instructed the department head, "After his injuries heal, he will be promoted." ”
"Yes, Mr. Tang." The director glanced at the injury number on the hospital bed, and muttered in his heart, "Boy, you have been blessed by misfortune and registered with the big boss." ”
At this time, a young girl pushed open the door and walked in with a travel bag, when she saw the situation in the ward, she was a little timid, walked a few steps, put the travel bag away, and whispered: "Everything is inside, tell your family that you are going on a business trip." ”
Listening to the obvious mainland accent, Tang Huan subconsciously glanced at the other party, and couldn't help but be slightly stunned, although the other party was only fifteen or sixteen years old, he could still recognize it from her delicate appearance, isn't this Liu Jialing.
Seeing that the boss looked carefully, the injured number hurriedly explained, "Her name is Liu Jialing, and the family just came to Xiangjiang from the mainland this year and rented next door to my house, so I asked her to help bring some clothes and daily necessities from home." ”
Tang Huan nodded, "You can recuperate, don't worry about things at work, I won't continue to bother." ”
didn't let the other party send it, Tang Huan walked out of the ward, turned his head and said to Lu Xiaohu: "Let's check this matter carefully, there is a simple economic dispute, and I will greet my face vigorously." You have been in Xiangjiang for such a long time, you must have caused some cause and effect, don't be careless. ”
Lu Xiaohu's expression froze, "Okay, I'll arrange for someone to investigate carefully." ”
Just as she was talking about this strange thing, as soon as the door of the ward opened, Liu Jialing walked out, Tang Huan stopped her casually, and looked at the other party again, you can see a few traces of gymnastics from her thin but well-proportioned figure.
"Mr. Tang, what do you command?" Liu Jialing lowered her head and asked crampedly, but she was able to inquire about Tang Huan's title clearly in a short period of time, which also explained the other party's exquisite thoughts.
Tang Huan nodded secretly and asked, "Are you going to school or working now?" ”
"I just came to Xiangjiang with my parents, and I haven't settled down yet." Hearing Tang Huan ask herself in a standard mainland accent, Liu Jialing couldn't help but glance up curiously, and after meeting the bright gaze, she hurriedly lowered her head.
Tang Huan took out a business card and handed it over, "Let your parents accompany you to DreamWorks for a trip to the DreamWorks to have an opportunity for artist training, you can receive an allowance, enough food and clothing." Of course, you can also choose to decline. ”
Lu Xiaohu laughed on the side, "Little sister, hurry up and take it, they are all mainlanders, I will take care of you by the way, if you miss this village, there will be no such store, maybe in two years, you can become the first female star from the mainland in DreamWorks." (To be continued......)
