When recording the show in the afternoon, Pan Yingzi frequently wandered, and all she was thinking about was Lin Youlun's invitation to her to film, and she couldn't concentrate at all. At five o'clock, she walked out of the ZOSE building, still preoccupied, and bumped into someone standing at the door.

The other party almost fell, and after a few seconds, Pan Yingzi realized that she had bumped into an acquaintance.

"Ah Zi, what do you have to say to me, what do you mean by hitting me like this?" Zhou You's voice was shrill and piercing, making passers-by look sideways.

"Auntie, I'm sorry, I'm sorry, I was thinking about one thing just now, and I didn't pay attention to the road when I left." Pan Yingzi panicked all of a sudden, and hurriedly explained.

Zhou You, known as "Auntie", is not only a godmother-level figure in Taiwan's TV industry, but also said to be inextricably linked with Taiwan's Jiang family, and Pan Yingzi's first popular play was produced by Zhou You.

Pan Yingzi's brilliant TV career in Taiwan in recent years can be said to be created by Zhou You, in front of her, Pan Yingzi does not dare to put on any star shelf.

Zhou You's eyes stayed on Pan Yingzi's face for a long time, and finally confirmed that she didn't lie, "The show has been recorded?" ”

"Hmm." Pan Yingzi whispered.

Zhou You was still very satisfied with Pan Yingzi's attitude, nodded and said, "It just so happens that I have something to do with you, so we will have dinner together in the evening." ”

Pan Yingzi got into Zhou You's car like this, Zhou You didn't rush to say what he was looking for Pan Yingzi, but first asked about Pan Yingzi's recent situation: "I saw that I was very worried when I came out of the building, did I encounter any trouble?" ”

"I received an appointment for a film, I don't know if I want to say yes."

Pan Yingzi didn't say whose play it was. But Zhou You looked at the hesitant expression on her face. I can probably guess that the other party may have a lot of background. Otherwise, Pan Yingzi would not be so embarrassed.

The producer on the Taiwan side, Zhou You thinks he can speak, but when he heard that it was Lin Youlun who was looking for Pan Yingzi to film, she showed a solemn expression on her face for the first time.

The Hong Kong film market is booming, and Lin Youlun doesn't do it in the more lucrative film industry, but he comes to make TV series, which makes Zhou You feel very incomprehensible.

"Are you sure it's a TV series and not a movie?"

Pan Yingzi nodded affirmatively, and then asked Zhou You, "Auntie." Do you think I should take this play? ”

"Lin Youlun's vision for investing in movies is first-class, as long as he is willing to take out one-tenth of his skills in making movies, this TV series will not be too bad, I think you should agree." Originally, Zhou You had a TV series in her hand that was going to find Pan Yingzi to act, but now that she killed a Lin Youlun halfway, she suddenly had a new idea, and the TV series in her hand could be slowed down first.

"Will China Television agree?" Pan Yingzi asked hesitantly. She signed a 5-year contract with China Television, and if she helped others film, she had to nod from China Television.

Zhou You frowned slightly, the best solution to this problem is to work together on both sides. China Television will definitely agree, I don't know if Lin Youlun will agree.

"I went to Hong Kong myself. Let's see if I can meet Lin Youlun, and I'll talk about everything when I come back from Hong Kong. Zhou You didn't have a complete confidence in his heart to convince Lin Youlun, but if he could use this opportunity to get in touch with Lin Youlun, this trip would not be in vain.

"By the way, Auntie, what are you looking for me today?"

Pan Yingzi suddenly asked, Zhou You now made up a reason, and didn't mention the TV series in his hand without mentioning a word.

When he went home after eating, Zhou You called her husband Li Chaoyong, who was still filming on the set, back.

The husband and wife discussed this matter together, and Li Chaoyong talked about one thing.

"Some time ago, Lin Youlun and Shao Yifu carried out an equity swap transaction, Shao Yifu expanded his shareholding in Jiayi Cinema Line, and Lin Youlun also successfully became a shareholder of wireless, there is news in Hong Kong that Shao Yifu will sell wireless to Lin Youlun after retirement, Lin Youlun is filming a TV series at this time, will it be related to this?"

These words immediately reminded Zhou You that the problems that he hadn't figured out before were all solved at once.

In order to confirm this matter, Zhou You also called a friend in Hong Kong, but after putting down the microphone, the expression on her face was not as relaxed as a burden, but full of doubts.

"There is an agreement between Lin Youlun and Shao Yifu that he will not interfere in the management of wireless for at least ten years." Zhou You told her husband Li Chaoyong about the news they had inquired about, and on this basis, the conclusions they had reached were a little untenable.

Lin Youlun wants to lay out the TV industry, and he doesn't need to get involved in the way of filming TV dramas at all, and even if he has such an idea, it is too early at this time.

Lin Youlun's real purpose, Zhou You and Li Chaoyong only guessed half correctly, investing in the filming of "Huanzhu Gege" is indeed his first step in the TV industry, but his goal in the first stage is not Hong Kong, but Taiwan.

Although Lin Youlun has obtained a small part of the equity of TVB, because of the agreement with Shao Yifu, there is no way to get deeply involved in the short term, but Taiwan is different.

Before the 90s, Taiwan's TV industry only existed for a long time, and in the early years, Taiwan TV mainly focused on local audiences as the main viewing group, and the most famous program was Yang Lihua's opera, which attracted a large number of audiences, and did not put too much effort into program research and development. The two TV stations of China Television and China Television came from behind, focusing on the development of TV episodes and quickly occupying the market.

As far as the current situation is concerned, there seems to be no possibility for Taiwan to open the fourth station, so Zhou You and Li Chaoyong will not think that Lin Youlun will have ambitions for the Taiwan market, but with the memory of later generations, Lin Youlun knows that in a few years, Taiwan will open up the TV market, and the first to enter the Taiwan market is Shao Yifu's wireless TV.

TVB cooperated with a local consortium in Taiwan to establish TVBS, becoming the first TV station in Taiwan to adopt satellite signals.

Lin Youlun is now a shareholder of wireless, with such an identity, he can completely grasp the control of TVBS in his hands first, and according to Taiwan's news management regulations, foreign capital cannot directly invest in the establishment of TV stations, so before this, Lin Youlun must first produce several sensational TV series, so as to have enough capital to convince Taiwan's partners.

This does not violate the agreement between Lin Youlun and Shao Yifu, as long as Lin Youlun behaves tougher, Shao Yifu can only give in, otherwise he will only force Lin Youlun to leave TVB and go it alone.

Therefore, Lin Youlun produced these TV series not only for Taiwanese collaborators, but also for Shao Yifu.

Of course, Lam's ambitions are not limited to Hong Kong and Taiwan, his real target is actually the mainland market.

Since the eighties, television sets have gradually begun to spread among the vast number of households in Chinese mainland, and with it, the number of TV viewers has increased exponentially. In order to meet the needs of these TV audiences, Chinese mainland TV stations, which cannot produce enough TV drama products even at full capacity, have thought of a solution, that is, to introduce overseas dramas.

Compared with the American, Japanese, and even Mexican dramas that were once popular on mainland screens in the early days, TV dramas produced in Hong Kong and Taiwan gradually caught up with the mainstream TV programs in the mid-to-late 80s, occupying more than half of the major TV stations in the mainland because of the same kind and the same text, and the values and expressions were basically the same as those of ordinary mainland audiences. Among them, affected by many factors such as ideology and lifestyle, costume dramas are the most important products.

Taiwanese TV dramas started in the 70s, a little later than Hong Kong, but because of their eclecticism, after the 90s, they gradually replaced Hong Kong as the leading TV drama production center in the Chinese-speaking region, most of which entered the mainland market through various channels and became the key TV programs launched by major mainland TV stations at that time.

The development of the TV drama industry is actually a two-line development of ancient costumes and fashion, and they have achieved great development in the 90s, but limited to the lifestyle of the mainland at that time, the control and censorship of TV programs, there are many excellent fashion dramas that have not entered the mainland market. Taiwan's costume dramas have won the love of the audience because of their excellent production and whimsical stories, and once occupied more than 50% of the TV drama broadcast time of mainland TV stations.

"Joking about Qianlong", "The Legend of the New White Lady", "Bao Qingtian" and many martial arts dramas and Qiong Yao romance dramas were all introduced to the mainland during this period and became an indelible mark in the hearts of many post-70s and post-80s.

After Hong Kong's return to the motherland, the export of film and television to the mainland has weakened significantly, while the entry of Taiwan TV dramas into the mainland at the same time is much simpler, which is not only related to the fact that Hong Kong's film and television industry suffered a heavy blow in the Asian financial crisis and itself is in decline, but the deeper reason is the change in Hong Kong's political status.

Before the handover, the mainland was relatively lenient in the introduction of Hong Kong film and television dramas for political purposes such as winning the hearts of the people and increasing exchanges between the two places, but after the handover, because of the differences in political systems and ideologies between Hong Kong and the mainland, the introduction became more stringent.

After the sovereignty issues of Hong Kong and Macao have been resolved one after another, there is only one Taiwan issue left before the Chinese Government. In order to enhance consensus and promote the peaceful reunification of the two sides of the strait at an early date, the mainland has begun to adopt a more "soft" approach to Taiwan, and the introduction of Taiwanese TV dramas has also been relatively relaxed.

However, it is a pity that after entering the 21 st century, with the increasingly frequent cross-strait exchanges, mainland film and television companies have gradually matured, and television stations have become more open. The fierce competition from Taiwan's local TV stations has led to an increasing tightening of the bank. The money to invest in the production of the series is increasingly stretched. A large number of outstanding film and television practitioners in Taiwan have either joined mainland companies or created their own companies to join the mainland market, and the lack of creative talents left behind in Taiwan has finally led to the decline of Taiwan's costume dramas until they disappear completely.

Lin Youlun laid out Taiwan's TV industry at this time, in fact, in order to facilitate entering the mainland market in the future, he could have one more stepping stone in his hand. (To be continued.) )
