Chapter XXVII
For the acquisition of Jiayi TV Station, in fact, An Yifei did not change much of the historical process, at most, it was brought back to life at its most critical time, and the British side was relieved through its relationship with MacLehose and issued a commercial TV license. Although he himself felt that there was nothing, it caused a wave in the Chinese tycoon circle on Hong Kong Island.www.biquge.info
Hong Kong originally had a Phoenix Film Company, and the Great Wall Film and other films were both leftists, and the forces behind them were of course the mainland. And the original Jiayi TV station, which was renamed Phoenix TV, was speculated by many people to have anything to do with this film company?
What outsiders say, An Yifei doesn't want to care, he just likes the phoenix, the ancient totem of China. Nowadays, those who can stay are the backbone and elites of the original Jiayi TV station, and it is necessary to hold a meeting to stabilize people's hearts.
"Hello everyone, I am An Yifei, the chairman of Phoenix TV. I'm sure you've suffered a lot of grievances in the past two months, but forget it, it's all in the past. Although Jiayi TV has only been in a short period of three years, it has achieved brilliant results, which is inseparable from everyone's efforts. Without further ado, I promulgate the appointment of people"
Liang Shuyi and the others who came from wireless were pleasantly surprised to rise instead of falling, An Yifei understood that these backbones were indeed capable, and he was a layman, so it was necessary to encircle these people. Therefore, An Yifei generously raised everyone's salary by one level in the end, which can be regarded as stabilizing internal employees at a speed of cutting through the mess.
The personnel appointment is very fair, which is almost contrary to He Daheng's original cronyism, after talking about the personnel appointment, An Yifei looked at the middle-level and above managers who had recovered their spirits, "You may not know that the Phoenix Film and Television City, which is close to completion, is mine." And I can tell you very clearly, don't worry about the funding, all you have to worry about is the quality of the show. I need you to work with me to make Phoenix TV the No. 1 TV station in Hong Kong."
Everyone from Liang Shuyi down was surprised again, although they vaguely felt something from the name, but when An Yifei announced it, everyone understood that the young boss had started the layout two years ago. And Phoenix Film and Television belongs to the freshwater plant, they all know, if their boss is the owner of the freshwater plant, they really don't have to worry about the financial problem, although they don't know how much income the water plant has, but they have heard of it, there is almost a monopoly money printing machine.
Liang Shuyi, Lin Dongling, Xu Ke, etc. all came to Jiayi from wireless, and Liang Lin is a co-ordinating management talent, and the other is a very good program producer, plus the famous director Xu Ke and others in later generations, Jiayi's team is still relatively powerful.
An Yifei first invited all the staff to have a dinner, which cost a lot. But the effect is obvious, whether it is management, actors or ordinary employees, they quickly identify with the new boss. The small management meetings that followed were unusually harmonious.
"Director Liang, you will have to work hard for the TV station in the future. It took me a lot of effort to get the license of a commercial TV station, and many programs that I couldn't do before don't need to be estimated in the future, but I have to pay attention to proportion. I promised His Excellency MacLehose", An Yifei adjusted the original office of Tycoon Ho, making it look simple but very atmospheric, and he already had the temperament of a tycoon sitting behind the desk.
Liang Shuyi, Lin Dongling and others were secretly happy, listening to their boss's tone, he had a good relationship with the Hong Kong Governor. This will be of great help to the future of TV stations, and yes, it doesn't matter, how can you get a commercial TV license?
"Don't worry, sir. With the film and television city and sufficient funds, we are confident that we will pull Phoenix TV to a higher level", Liang Shuyi is a career-oriented woman in her thirties, she looks very capable, and the hardware conditions given by An Yifei are really good, not only her, but also the employees up and down are full of enthusiasm.
"Well, that's what I planned, I know the ability of you and Lin Dongling, although I don't know much about TV, but I understand talent. So you and Lin Dongling will each get three percent of the management shares. In addition, I will give you another 3 percent of the mobility incentive shares, which will be established for contributing employees, depending on the situation."
Looking at Xu Ke with a disappointed face, An Yifei smiled slightly, "Mr. Xu doesn't have to be disappointed, because I understand what you need, and the TV station can't fulfill your ideals." So, I'm going to buy Phoenix Films, are you interested in buying a small share? ”
Reading online articles in his previous life, An Yifei found that many authors who wrote about Hong Kong entertainment misunderstood Xu Ke, thinking that he would only spend money on big-budget movies. The most famous "loser" is, of course, "The Legend of the Swordsman of Xinshu Mountain", spending money to buy and drink. But many people forget that Xu Hark was the director of the first blockbuster film in the 80s, "Ghost Horse Wisdom and Many Stars", and his other small-budget films have a good reputation. How else would he have the nickname of Xu Laowei?
"Sir. Of course I do", Xu Ke looked at An Yifei with a calm expression but a smile in his eyes, "It's just that the background of the Phoenix movie ......"
"Don't worry, I'll buy it if you want to, you know, I love their name. Even if I don't want anything else, a name will make me pay for it."
An Yifei's words made the three original Jiayi backbones present laugh, "Mr. Xu, you stay in the TV station for a while first, don't worry." One more thing, do you think there is any director with potential, I am not afraid of being young, as long as he is talented. You can talk about the name and look at it."
Of course, Xu Ke understood that buying a company was not so fast, and after thinking about it, "Sir, that can only be dug from wireless." I remember meeting Pan Jiade before, this young man is very good, and he has a lot of ideas about modern suspense TV; As for costume dramas, it's good to find Zhuang Weijian, and Ah Jian's scheduling of costume dramas is very good. It's just that I can't play by other people for the time being."
Of course, An Yifei knows these two guys, and he has the deepest impression of Pan Jiade, and the on-demand rate of his "Criminal Investigation Files" has not been low on the Internet for many years. And Ah Jian's most famous is "Xun Qin", which has not yet come out.
"Okay, Director Liang is in charge of this matter, please keep an eye on it, and strive to dig them up. Continue to shoot the TV series that Jiayi was filming before, don't give up halfway. The new plan was reformulated, and the variety show and news sections could not recruit talents. In addition, I plan to hold my own artist training course, which is already linked to the Chinese University, and these will be launched one after another."
Liang Shuyi glanced at Lin Dongling, "Sir, Supervisor Lin is very familiar with the wireless side. It's better for him to leave these things to me than I do."
"That's good, that's it for the time being", as for Chen Yulian, An Yifei doesn't plan to say more, after some actions, everyone will naturally understand the relationship between the two.
Although Jiayi TV is only three years old, the invisible wealth accumulated is still good, and the TV adaptation rights of Jin Yong's novels are actually all won. Mi Xue, Yang Paner, Zheng Yuling and other actors are all old actors with great acting skills. An Yifei only symbolically paid a "fine" to the Hong Kong government, and announced that he had inherited the resources of the original TV station.
Years of friendship with the Oriental Daily newspaper finally began to show its power, and the unfavorable rhetoric in the market soon stopped after a photo was published. The rebirth of Phoenix TV, which is waiting to be broadcast, plus the amazing scale of the film and television city, as well as the job-hopping of Chen Yulian and others. Let the Hong Kong people be full of expectations and curiosity about the new TV station.
Although he was a little unconvinced, He Daheng knew that if An Yifei didn't make a move, Jiayi would die completely. Rather than that, it was better to give it to the new successor, so he generously took the initiative to transfer a lot of TV-related resources and persuaded the employees who left to go back. Because He Daheng knows who is behind his back, since he has no ability to take revenge, then hand it over to someone who has the ability.
An Yifei also gave face very well, and took the initiative to invite He Daheng to have afternoon tea together. The two talked secretly for a long time before parting, and after a few days, a large number of employees who had left the station returned one after another.
The so-called "Wutai Mountain" is located in Tseung Kwan O, not far from the freshwater plant. As early as a few years ago, An Yifei began to prepare, not only built the latest building in the film and television city, but also purchased a lot of top-notch equipment of this era. After moving one after another, the old Jiayi TV building finally became a spare building, which made "Wutai Mountain" a bit unworthy of its name, but the name still continued.
The new TV building makes the employees of Phoenix TV very excited, with a spacious studio hall, an entire floor of variety show live broadcast rooms, and even staff dormitories are apartment-style, with six eight-story apartment buildings, like residential areas, and there are shops, cafes, billiard rooms, and so on. These were all designed by An Yifei according to the concepts of later generations, and a lot of money was spent.
The beautiful environment around the Tamsui plant, the majestic film and television city, and the sense of security given by the Red Shield security all together made those new and old employees quickly settle down and start doing things. The hardware facilities shown by their boss can use the word "luxury", and they all have a high-grade feeling.
After half a month of preparation and running-in, Phoenix TV appeared in front of Hong Kong citizens with a new attitude. After no longer being tied by the education license, a number of variety shows "planned" by An Yifei will be launched one after another, first of all, "The Voice of Chinese". Of course, the first phase is a little performative, and most of the participants were found by An Yifei, such as Guan Zhenjie, Huang Kaifang, etc. And the judges were also invited with a lot of money, Xu Guanjie, Rib and so on.
Needless to say, An Yifei's relationship with the Hong Kong government has not only registered the property rights of all the "planned" program forms in Hong Kong, but also registered all the countries and regions that can be imagined. If someone wants to chase the wind and plagiarize, then wait for the court summons.
In terms of TV dramas, An Yifei doesn't want to participate too much for the time being, because the original Jiayi is a big TV series, and some TV series that die halfway continue to be filmed in the new film and television city. Due to the particularly good environment here, a large number of martial artists did not need to be invited, and automatically began to run here to find food.
