Chapter 750: Two Dramas Broadcast Simultaneously [Three Changes]
Lin Youlun and Qiu Fusheng have not yet shown up, and representatives of China Television, China Television, and Taiwan Television have gathered together and cautiously tested each other's attitude towards TVBS.
"In Europe and the United States, cable TV has become the mainstream, and there will be more and more cable TV users in Taiwan in the future. It was a representative of the TV station who spoke.
"I don't think so." The representative from China Television shook his head, "TVBS is nominally a subsidiary of Hong Kong Wireless, but the actual major shareholder is Lin Youlun, and the main direction of attack may still be in movies, and he may not put too much energy and thought into the development of TVBS, not to mention anything else, look at the headquarters rented by TVBS now, there are only a few floors of offices and some broadcasting equipment, and there is not even a decent studio." Wireless is the dominant one in Hong Kong, so I thought that their set was universal everywhere, and we have welcomed Hong Kong dramas over the years, but it is our local self-made programs that really occupy the main ratings, if you think that you can occupy the Taiwan market with a few Hong Kong dramas, it would be ridiculous. ”
"Who said TVBS doesn't have homemade TV series? The film and television production company jointly established by Lin Youlun and Yang Dengkui dug up Zhou You and Zhou Linggang together, and I heard that these two people each produced a TV series, and now they have all finished filming and reviewing, so I don't know which one of them will be selected by TVBS as the opening drama. The representative of China Television knows more about the situation, and he has an important purpose in this trip, that is, to persuade TVBS to transfer the wireless TV broadcast rights of these two TV dramas to China Television.
Among Taiwan's "old three stations", China Television is definitely the most profound understanding of the threat of TVBS. Because Zhang Xiaoyan, who jumped to TVBS to be in charge of variety shows. and Zhou You, a gold-medal TV series producer. All come from China Vision.
Zhang Xiaoyan was born as a child star, hosted variety shows for more than 20 years, and already has a group of fixed audiences in Taiwan, and Zhou You's ability to produce TV series is also well-known.
TVBS did not show an aggressive posture when it opened the station, it should be that it did not want to overly stimulate China Television, China Television, and Taiwan Television, and as the representative of Taiwan Television was worried about. With the growth of cable TV subscribers in Taiwan to the point where TVB can compete with each other, will TVBS continue to keep a low profile?
It's just that now China Television, China Television, and Taiwan Television are not aligned, and the Taiwan authorities are determined to open up the radio and television industry, and more TV licenses will be released in the future, and the competition for ratings in the future will only become more and more intense.
This is also the reason why China Television knows that the cooperation between Ludao and TVBS is to raise tigers, but still chooses to do so.
The representatives of China Television, China Television, and Taiwan Television have their own thoughts, and of course they will not frankly exchange views on this kind of issue, and after chatting together for a while, they will find reasons to separate.
At the opening ceremony. The first to appear was Qiu Fusheng, chairman of the board of directors of TVBS, but both the guests present and the reporters in the audience. is more concerned about Lin Youlun's movements.
Under everyone's eagerly awaited anticipation, the car in which Lin Youlun and Wang Guxian were riding finally slowly stopped in front of the building, and the reporters waiting at the door suddenly surrounded them.
"Mr. Lin, after the opening of TVBS, did all the programs produced by Hong Kong TVB be broadcast?"
"Mr. Lin, in addition to broadcasting news and variety shows, will TVBS choose to make its own TV series in the future?"
"Mr. Lin, what do you think about the future of cable TV?"
In addition to the reporters who gathered around to ask questions, more reporters chose to pick up their cameras and take photos of Lin Youlun and Wang Guxian, who was dressed as an OL, holding hands intimately.
Facing a bunch of microphones and recorders, Lin Youlun cleared his throat.
"I'll give you a focused answer to a few questions you might be interested in."
"First of all, I am very optimistic about the development of the cable TV business, otherwise I would not be standing here today. I know that there are still some problems in cable TV that we may not be able to accept for the time being, such as the line in remote areas cannot be covered, and the fee is more expensive, but this is an important development trend of the cable TV network in the future, so we are willing to make more efforts in this regard, and work with the audience to overcome the difficulties in reality, while reducing the cost of viewing, to send more and more exciting programs to everyone. ”
Secondly, on the question about the future development trend of TVBS mentioned by a reporter friend. As I have just said, TVBS will always be committed to the expansion of Taiwan's cable TV business, and will not compete directly with the existing TV stations that broadcast wireless TV signal channels, but in the same type of program, competition is inevitable, and we also have sufficient preparations, in the future, TVBS will take the high-quality route, the channel will be controlled within 4, and there will not be too many programs, but it will definitely try to be as close to the taste of Taiwanese audiences as possible. ”
"Finally, some people may be worried that because TVBS is a subsidiary of Hong Kong TVB, it will only broadcast programs produced by Hong Kong TVB, which I must make a clarification, TVBS will have a proportion limit on the introduction of Hong Kong dramas, and more local self-made programs will be broadcast, especially in the opening month, we will have two new dramas broadcast at the same time, which will definitely give the audience a big surprise."
After saying this, Lin Youlun stopped answering other questions.
The bodyguards separated the reporters and cleared a passage, Lin Youlun took Wang Guxian's hand, and the two walked into the building together.
——
Inside the building, the representative of China Television who was at the opening ceremony of TVBS received a message from the assistant downstairs.
"Two together, are you sure you heard me right?"
After receiving an affirmative reply, the representative of China Television glanced at Zhou You and Zhou Linggang, who were sitting in front of the venue, and became more and more puzzled.
Could it be that there is no winner between Zhou You and Zhou Linggang, or TVBS has to decide to start the two TV series at the same time in order to appease the two?
Thinking that the real decision-maker of TVBS is not Qiu Fusheng, who is speaking on stage at the moment, but Lin Youlun, who is hidden behind the scenes, the representative of China Television immediately rejected the latter idea.
Lin Youlun can cover the sky in the Hong Kong film industry, how can he not even hold down the two TV producers Zhou You and Zhou Linggang?
Looking at the information I just got about the two TV series that TVBS is about to broadcast as the opening drama, the heart of the representative of China Television is full of doubts.
Judging from the cast alone, it must be Zhao Yazhi and Zheng Shaoqiu starring in this "Dragon and Phoenix" that has the advantage, and the two leading actors of another "Detective Di Renjie", the name He Jiajin is still a little familiar, who is that Jin Chaoqun?
asked a few people around him one after another, and everyone shook their heads and said that they had never heard of this actor, and the representative of China Television finally determined that this Jin Chaoqun was not famous in Taiwan at all.
Zhao Yazhi and Zheng Shaoqiu have become popular in Taiwan since they starred in "Chu Liuxiang" in the 80s and have become well-known film and television stars.
But what is incomprehensible is that TVBS put these two TV series with a cast that is obviously not of the same level and broadcast them together, aren't you worried that "Detective Di Renjie" will be completely blocked by the limelight of "Dragon and Phoenix"?
If the producer of "Detective Di Renjie" is the kind of hot-headed producer, the current situation can be explained, and the problem Zhou You is definitely not such a person, she will definitely not be arrogant enough to use two unknown actors to be able to star in a TV series with a strong lineup like Zheng Shaoqiu and Zhao Yazhi, and there is definitely another hidden reason for this matter.
As soon as the representative of China Television thought of this, the stage had already begun to introduce the relevant information about "Dragon and Phoenix" and "Detective Di Renjie".
"Dragon and Phoenix" can be regarded as the TV series version of the movie "Dragon and Phoenix Shop" performed by the Hong Kong film industry last year for the mainland East China flood collective, and the content still tells the story of Emperor Zhengde's descent to the south of the Yangtze River.
And the most interesting thing is "Detective Di Renjie". Many people didn't expect that this TV series was actually adapted from the detective novel "The Case of Tang Di Gong" by the late Dutch writer Gao Perrot.
Based on this alone, "Detective Di Renjie" has received a lot of plus points, but in the eyes of most people, it is still not enough to compare this drama with "Dragon and Phoenix".
Just when everyone was very confused, Lin Youlun and Wang Guxian's halfway entry brought a small commotion to the venue, and the two did not go to the stage to steal the limelight, but went straight to the middle of the first row of the venue and sat down.
This is the end of the introduction of the two upcoming TV series, followed by some high-level TVBS executives who came to the stage to speak.
Everyone turned their attention to Zhang Xiaoyan, Zhou You, and Zhou Linggang who were sitting in the front row, but they didn't expect that the host was the first to invite Wang Guxian.
There was a buzzing discussion in the audience, and with the host's explanation, everyone figured out that Wang Guxian was also a shareholder of TVBS, and her share was not small.
There were rumors earlier that Lin Dacai's character of loving beauty and not loving Jiangshan, and the female stars who have a relationship with him are said to have received a lot of asset gifts, and now Wang Guxian has become one of the major shareholders of TVBS, which seems to prove the authenticity of the relevant rumors from the side.
Most of the people present only focused on the relationship between Lin Youlun and Wang Guxian, and only a very small number of people noticed the profound intention behind Lin Youlun's move.
Taiwan's laws and regulations strictly restrict the proportion of shares held by legal persons outside Taiwan in radio and television stations, whether it is Hong Kong TVB or Lin Youlun, whose shareholding in TVBS is subject to this restriction, but Wang Guanxian is a Taiwanese and is not subject to this regulation.
Through Wang Guxian's shareholding, Lin Youlun easily bypassed the restrictions of Taiwan's laws and regulations and indirectly achieved absolute control of TVBS. (To be continued......)
