Lin Lingdong shouted excitedly on stage, and at this time, the live TV screen switched to the audience, and the camera was aimed at Mecca.

Mecca was shaking hands with the people around her, looking smug.

With a snap, the TV screen went black, Lin Jianyue put down the remote control in his hand, leaned on the sofa and closed his eyes in contemplation.

The new art city was reorganized into Media Asia, and Lin Lingdong was the group of people who ran away with Mecca, and now seeing him win the award on the stage of the Academy Awards, Lin Jianyue suddenly regretted it.

Film companies like Golden Harvest and Shaw Brothers have their own complete talent training system, while other film companies can only rely on luck or high prices to poach people.

Lin Jianyue wanted to completely control the company at first, and then consider the problem of brain drain, but when the reorganization of Media Asia was successful, he found that in addition to artist resources and copyright resources, the company was only left with an empty shelf.

Some time ago, Huang Baiming, one of the three giants of the original New Art City, came to Lin Jianyue once, and both parties were willing to cooperate, but Huang Baiming's asking price was too high at that time, and Lin Jianyue did not agree.

Lin Jianyue thought about it, and finally picked up the phone.

"Mr. Huang? What you told me last time, maybe we can talk about it again......"

made an appointment with Huang Baiming on the phone to meet again, and as soon as Lin Jianyue put down the phone, his father Lin Baixin's phone came in.

"Dad, haven't you rested so late?"

"Did you watch the live broadcast of the Academy Awards?"

"I was looking at it just now, what's wrong?" Lin Jianyue frowned slightly, his father called him at this time to talk to him about the Academy Awards. The intent is a bit hard to fathom.

"TV rights for the Academy Awards. Wireless was only bought out for three years. Do you think it is possible for ATV to win the broadcast rights next year? ”

"It's impossible." Lin Jianyue came to a conclusion almost without thinking.

"For what?"

"Because Lin Youlun and Shao Yifu's interests are more closely related." Lin Jianyue almost told him about his bad relationship with Lin Youlun, but fortunately he changed his words in time.

Lin Baixin was silent on the other end of the phone for a while, but asked about something else.

"What's going on with that Lin Lingdong? I remember that he seemed to be the director of the new art city, and he has left now? ”

Lin Jianyue's heart sank slightly, "This matter is a bit complicated, I will explain it to you in detail in the future, in short, he is no longer the director of Media Asia." ”

"In other words, Media Asia won nothing at the Academy Awards this year?"

"Dad. The Academy Awards were created by Lin Youlun, and it doesn't mean anything wrong if Media Asia didn't win the award, right? ”

"You mean that Lin Youlun deliberately didn't let the film produced by Media Asia win the award?" Lin Baixin was very dissatisfied with her son's answer, and the tone of her voice also became a little heavier: "How can Lai Sun Group say that it is also a shareholder of Jiayi, is it necessary for Lin Youlun to embarrass Huanya in this kind of matter?" ”

"I, I didn't mean that......" Lin Jianyue was a little at a loss for a while, how to explain it.

"Okay, that's all I have to say, think about it yourself!" Lin Baixin was tired, so he hung up the phone without saying more.

Putting down the phone, the father and son had different thoughts in their hearts, and Lin Jianyue pondered in his heart that the negotiations with Huang Baiming should be stepped up. Lin Baixin is sure of one thing - the rumors in the market that Lin Jianyue and Lin Youlun secretly had a bad relationship because of a female star should be true now.

Lin Jianyue is far more interested in investing in the film industry than in television. Lin Baixin, on the contrary, has always hoped to build a TV kingdom like Shao Yifu, and the father and son have always had differences on the road of diversified development of the group.

In the past, ATV only needed to compete with wireless, but now there is another Lin Youlun, and Lin Baixin suddenly felt a lot of pressure.

"The Voice" has only aired the first phase of the competition, and it has already overwhelmed ATV in the ratings, and a few more such programs, not to mention challenging the hegemony of wireless, may have problems with normal operations.

At ATV's high-level meeting the next day, Lin Baixin expressed his worries and sincerely hoped that everyone would think of some ways to help ATV overcome the current difficulties.

The people below all lowered their heads and didn't speak, and Lin Baixin was very disappointed.

"Wireless has Sister Hong Kong, we have Sister Asia, and now Wireless has "The Voice", why can't we do the same program to fight against wireless?"

Xu Xiaoming, ATV's program manager, raised his head and explained: "The Voice has applied for copyright patent protection for the program model in more than 30 major countries and regions around the world, and we will bear great legal risks if we imitate it without authorization. ”

Lin Baixin realized that he had thought about the problem simply, but he was still unwilling: "Is there no other way?" ”

"In this kind of variety show, wireless has a lot more resources in its hands than us, and it is not a wise choice to confront it head-on." Program director Li Zhuanglie couldn't help but persuade.

Lin Baixin looked at Li Zhuanglie: "So what does Producer Li mean?" ”

"Variety shows can't attract audiences for a long time, and the most useful thing to compete for ratings is TV dramas."

Li Zhuanglie's words reminded Lin Baixin that ATV spent a huge amount of money to shoot "Sou Shen Ji" more than half a year ago, and after such a long time, he forgot to ask how this TV series is filming now.

Li Zhuanglie glanced at Xiao Wei, who was sitting opposite him, Lin Baixin dug Xiao Tao from wireless with a high salary, and even handed over "Sou Shen Ji" to him to supervise, so this question should obviously be answered by Xiao Wei.

"Lin Bo, please rest assured, the first 20 episodes of the TV series have been produced, I dare not boast about anything else, but the special effects of this TV series are definitely far superior to all other TV series in Hong Kong now."

This is the first good news that Lin Baixin heard at today's meeting, and he can't help but be very satisfied with Xiao Wei.

"Yes, this TV series should be released as soon as possible, Lin Youlun's works, the ratings are very guaranteed."

Li Zhuanglie's mouth moved, and he wanted to speak, but Xu Xiaoming, who was sitting diagonally opposite, stopped him with a look.

Lin Baixin inquired in detail about the production status of "Sou Shen Ji" at the meeting, and after the meeting, he directly called Xiao Wei into his office.

Coming out of the conference room, Li Zhuanglie couldn't help but complain to Xu Xiaoming: "Why did you want to stop me just now? ”

"Don't you see that Limber now regards "Sou Shen Ji" as a lifesaver, even if you disagree, do you think he can listen to it?" Xu Xiaoming asked rhetorically.

At the beginning, the copyright of the TV series "Sou Shen Ji" was negotiated by Li Zhuanglie personally with Lin Youlun, but Li Zhuanglie strongly opposed the use of high cost to shoot this TV series, because the cost would definitely not be recovered.

In Li Zhuanglie's view, the most suitable time for the filming of "Sou Shen Ji" should wait until the special effects technique is further matured in TV production, and it is precisely because of his persistence that "Sou Shen Ji" has not started filming for a long time.

Now ATV's major shareholder has changed from Qiu Degen to Lin Baixin, Li Zhuanglie's attitude is not as effective as before, Lin Baixin is ambitious to do a big business, and the heavy investment to create "Sou Shen Ji" is the first decision he made after taking over ATV.

Li Zhuanglie persuaded him at the time, but Lin Baixin didn't listen, and now the situation of ATV is more severe than before, and in the face of the ratings impact of "The Voice", Lin Baixin is even more unlikely to take Li Zhuanglie's words seriously.

Limber's idea is good, but he didn't think that 40 million might be able to make a good movie, but to make a 50-episode long drama, the special effects in it are not enough to watch, and the current audience has never seen any special effects in the movie, and the TV series is also engaged in this set, so it will not please at all. And if this money is used to shoot other TV series, it is enough to make 4 or 5 long dramas. Li Zhuanglie said worriedly.

"I also know about this situation, but now is really not the time to persuade, you don't see that Xiao Mo is being favored in front of Lin Bo, you say that "Sou Shen Ji" is not good at this time, not only Lin Bo doesn't like to listen to it, Xiao Mo will also have opinions about you." Xu Xiaoming patted Li Zhuanglie on the shoulder, "You and I are both old men left by Uncle Gen, Lin Bo uses us, but he won't trust us completely, and some things are not something we can change." ”

Li Zhuanglie sighed and didn't say anything more.

The next day, the news of the upcoming broadcast of "Sou Shen Ji" appeared in major newspapers in Hong Kong, and ATV also specially squeezed out half a minute of advertising time in prime time to insert the trailer of "Sou Shen Ji".

The special effects made with a production cost of 40 million are not as shocking as in the movie, but the first large-scale use in a TV series still makes many viewers feel very fresh, coupled with the appeal of the work "Sou Shen Ji" itself, the first episode of the TV series achieved 35% ratings, and the second episode fell slightly, but the average ratings also reached 30%.

If such ratings are put on wireless, it can only be said to be good, but it is not the best, but for ATV, which can reach double digits in ratings, it is considered a success, and more than 20% is a big victory, it is indeed a very exciting achievement.

Lin Baixin was greatly relieved by this, and Xiao Wei's status in ATV also rose, and it was even rumored that he would soon replace Li Zhuanglie's position as program director.

After the broadcast of "Sou Shen Ji", a reporter met Lin Youlun at the door of a restaurant and interviewed him about the matter.

"ATV has already filmed "Sou Shen Ji"?" Lin Youlun's reaction was out of the reporter's expectations, "Xie Lu, thank you for your reminder, I will go back tonight to see it." ”

Lin Youlun replied only a few words, but the attitude conveyed in it was very interesting, and many media relayed or directly quoted his words when reporting relevant news, which caused a lot of speculation. (To be continued.) )
