Chapter 394: Turning Point [Three Changes]
Huang Baiming took "New Shu Mountain Swordsman" as an example, which made Lin Jianyue can't help but waver a little bit about his decision.
At this time, the phone on Lin Jianyue's desk rang.
Huang Baiming walked to the side very consciously, Lin Jianyue turned his back, picked up the microphone, and after hearing the other party's voice, his expression became a little surprised.
"Dad, how did you ......?"
"How's your film company doing during this time?" Lin Baixin asked directly.
"I have hired two very powerful helpers, the new film is already being filmed, and probably in the New Year next year, the first film under the name of Media Asia will be officially released." Huang Baiming was beside him, and Lin Jianyue simply told his father about the company's recent situation.
"Your performance during this period of time is not bad, and you know that you are weak now, so you should develop in a down-to-earth and low-key manner, instead of thinking about competing with others to win." Lin Baixin praised Lin Jianyue on the phone, and then changed his words: "By the way, recently, your film company should be more low-key and try not to contradict Lin Youlun." ”
Lin Jianyue was quite happy at first, but when he heard what his father said later, his brows furrowed, but he also heard that Lin Baixin's words were not in a consultative tone, but a direct order, so he did not refute it on the phone, but asked his father from the side why he asked him to do so.
"ATV has been catching up with wireless in the ratings of TV dramas in recent times, and I don't want Lin Youlun to start meddling in the ratings war between wireless and ATV because of you." Lin Baixin explained simply.
Lin Jianyue finally couldn't help it, "Dad." I don't understand. Lin Youlun is now a shareholder of Wireless. In the future, it is more likely to take over wireless, he has stood on the opposite side of us from the beginning, why do we have to tolerate him everywhere? ”
"What you said is right, it is impossible for Lin Youlun to watch the decline of wireless, but the more prosperous the wireless, the more Shao Yifu will be able to delegate power, if you are Lin Youlun, what will you do? It's to help wireless get through it. Or do you watch Wireless temporarily fall into a trough and force Shao Yifu to give way? It was rare that Lin Baixin was not angry this time, but said earnestly.
In terms of overall ratings, ATV has no way to compete with wireless, but in the ratings of evening TV dramas, ATV has relied on the popularity of "Sou Shen Ji", and has made persistent efforts to shoot several mythological dramas, and the ratings seem to have surpassed the momentum of wireless.
"But what if Lin Youlun doesn't have the idea of getting involved in the TV industry now?" Lin Jianyue proposed a possibility, and this is also the last thing Lin Baixin wants to see.
"I don't believe that he is not interested in controlling wireless, otherwise why would he exchange the shares of Jiayi Cinema Line for the shares of wireless?"
"Quite the opposite. I think his ambition can be satisfied with more than just wireless, so now he is not so anxious to take control of wireless. So even if we back down, he should help Wireless will still do it. ”
Lin Jianyue expressed his opinion, and Lin Baixin was silent on the other end of the phone for a while.
"Maybe what you say makes sense, but this matter will be done as I say first!"
Lin Baixin gave such an answer, which made Lin Jianyue feel very disappointed, and after putting down the phone, the expression on his face was cloudy, and he hugged his hands and thought about it for a while, and then called the secretary in.
"Later, you can call Mr. Xu and say that I will invite him to dinner in the evening!"
Huang Baiming's mouth moved beside him, but he didn't say anything in the end, he knew that it should be Lin Baixin who said something to Lin Jianyue on the phone, which made Lin Jianyue make up his mind to invest in Xu Ke.
The matter involved the relationship between Lin Baixin and Lin Jianyue's father and son, and Huang Baiming chose to remain silent very sensibly.
——
Liang Jiashu and Zeng Lizhen have not had a good time during this time, and ATV has been biting wireless in the ratings of evening TV dramas for a week, which only happened when TVB and ATV's predecessor Lidi TV had a ratings war.
Although in terms of overall ratings, wireless still has an absolute advantage, but it is necessary to remove the super high ratings brought by each issue of "The Voice", especially "The Voice" has now reached the third stage of the competition, and there will be a few more episodes to the finals.
In other words, TVB's advantage over ATV with "The Voice" will soon be lost, and the next competition will not start until next year, and far water will not quench the thirst of the near.
ATV continued to focus on mythological dramas after "Sou Shen Ji", and indeed gathered a group of audiences, originally the wireless side launched a new martial arts drama "The Legend of Double Dragons of the Tang Dynasty" to fight with ATV, which had already won back a lot of audiences, but at this time, Lin Youlun's new book was released.
As soon as "Zhu Xian" came out, it almost swept Hong Kong, Macao and Taiwan with a sweeping attitude, and ATV's main mythological drama took advantage of this shareholder wind, and the ratings began to soar, making the wireless side chaotic.
Fang Yihua adopted Liang Jiashu's suggestion, and in the end, Wireless won the TV adaptation rights of "Zhu Xian", but it was in cooperation with Lin Youlun, and Wireless was only responsible for cooperating, so when this TV series will start filming is completely up to Lin Youlun.
Fang Yihua can put pressure on Liangjiashu twice in three days, but Liangjiashu has no way to urge Lin Youlun, because of this, he has not been able to sleep peacefully for a week.
Finally, Lin Youlun was relieved and promised that the actors of the TV series could be freely selected by the wireless side, of course, the final decision was still in his hands.
The wireless side immediately took action and directly turned the selection process of the actors of "Zhu Xian" into an audition program, and the audience voted for the most suitable actors.
There is a precedent for this practice, and the actors of the 83 version of "The Legend of the Condor Heroes" were selected in this way, of course, in that era, this was the treatment that only martial arts dramas adapted from Jin Yong's novels could enjoy.
Later, "Kunlun" also has such an opportunity, but the role candidates in that TV series are directly designated by Lin Youlun, and Wireless has no opportunity to do similar audition programs.
This time, Lin Youlun finally delegated the power to select roles, of course, wireless had to seize this opportunity, and the audition was also lively, because of the super popularity of "Zhu Xian", it pulled up a lot of falling ratings for a while.
But this is not a long way, even if the role is chosen, it will take a while for the TV series to officially start filming.
At the executive meeting that day, Zeng Lizhen and Liang Jiashu, who were in charge of the production of the TV series, were severely reprimanded by Fang Yihua, and at the end of the meeting, for some reason, Feng Meiji was left alone by Fang Yihua.
"Miji, I think you seem to have something to say just now?"
Feng Meiji was taken aback when she heard this, she didn't expect Fang Yihua to be so angry at the meeting, and she actually had the heart to pay attention to her expression.
Right now, Fang Yihua was staring, Feng Meiji didn't have time to think about it, and said: "Miss Fang, everyone is trying to find a way to this situation now, don't be so angry, it's not worth it if you are angry." ”
Fang Yihua sighed, "Meiji, in fact, I don't want to do this, but the current situation is really worrying, we must find a way to stop the other party's momentum, otherwise we will be really in danger." ”
Feng Meiji hesitated, "Miss Fang, there is actually something I haven't told you all along, it's about Mr. Lin's ......."
Fang Yihua looked at Feng Meiji suspiciously, not knowing why she would suddenly mention Lin Youlun.
"Last year, Mr. Lin asked me for an artist's information."
"That's normal." Fang Yihua was a little puzzled, this matter is also worth mentioning to Feng Meiji to herself?
"What Mr. Lin asked for is Ah Zhi's information, and I inquired later, Ah Zhi was not in Hong Kong for a long time in the first half of this year, and it is said that he went to the mainland to shoot a TV series." Feng Meiji explained.
"Hasn't Ah Zhi already decided to quit the entertainment industry? How to return to the mainland to film? What does this have to do with Lin Youlun? Fang Yihua asked three questions in one breath, and then suddenly came to her senses, looking at Feng Meiji with wide eyes, "You mean, Lin Youlun asked Ah Zhi to shoot a TV series?" ”
Feng Meiji nodded, although this was just her guess, she still had some evidence in her hands.
"Why haven't I heard anything about this?" Fang Yihua was surprised.
"It should be Mr. Lin's side that is deliberately low-key, and then the crew has done a good job of keeping secrets, as far as I know, Mr. Lin should have cooperated with the TV station in Taiwan this time, and then the whole TV series was filmed in the mainland, so Hong Kong did not attract too much attention." Feng Meiji explained.
Fang Yihua pondered for a moment and asked, "You mean, we can buy this TV series in Lin Youlun's hand first?" ”
"I think Mr. Lin is so mysterious, he should have a lot of confidence in this TV series, generally speaking, Mr. Lin is unlikely to sell this TV series to ATV, but I am worried that there will be variables after the news spreads."
Feng Meiji's worries are not groundless, the film copyright of "Zhu Xian", Lin Youlun actually handed it over to Lin Jianyue's Media Asia Film Company to shoot, although Xu Ke is the middleman, but many people still can't understand Lin Youlun's intentions, but it is enough to cause some speculation.
Since Lin Youlun is willing to hand over the film copyright of "Zhu Xian" to Lin Jianyue, who dares to guarantee that he will not hand over the well-filmed TV series to ATV?
As soon as Feng Meiji said this, Fang Yihua also realized the urgency of the matter, on the one hand, she asked Feng Meiji and Zhao Yazhi to contact each other, and on the other hand, she called Liang Jiashu over and asked him to go to Lin Youlun in person to confirm whether this TV series exists.
As long as this TV series really exists, it must be bought from Lin Youlun at any cost! (To be continued.) For mobile phone users, please go to read. )
