Chapter 232: Ambitious
Chapter 232 is ambitious
"Cough, I don't have that much appeal" Lu Yan is still very self-aware about this. It's just that although he is sure that he doesn't have such a big appeal, he is confident that Debao Film Company will do better. At least, what Huang Wenzhong said now is that he is very moved: "Are you so sure that Pan Disheng is willing to sell Debao Film Company at that time?" ”
"There is absolutely no problem, the current Pan Disheng is completely in the stage of being overhead. Although he was very 'generous', he even trained Gao Zhisen to confront Cen Jianxun. But I believe that he is very tired, and he chose to enter the film market because he saw that the film market was getting better and better. It's a pity that he never expected that entering as an outsider in him may not be able to succeed" Huang Wenzhong looked at Lu Yan and said with some admiration: "At least, he is too far behind you as the boss in this aspect." Although you are very young, boss, it is rare to be able to mix like this in the film industry at this age, even in Hollywood, and many of the employees in the Debao Cinema are veterans of the new art city. With the boss, your deeds are obviously more convincing to them."
"I have to say, I was really drawn to the blueprint you sketched. In that case, the acquisition of Debao Films is in your hands. Lu Yan smiled, suddenly stared at Huang Wenzhong and said: "I think, Brother Wenzhong should still have some ideas that he hasn't said, since I have such an opportunity today, I am very willing to be more instructed, young man, short-sighted." Unlike the brother in the text, his vision is ......"
Lu Yan showed such a bearing, which suddenly made Huang Wenzhong wave his hand a little embarrassed: "Boss, I know you must have had such ambitions, but you didn't say it, I think you must have another ambition too."
For Lu Yan, he does have a lot of ambitions. From the time he developed the model to emulate the Emperor, he had similar ambitions. It's just that many ideas are still immature, and now when I heard Huang Wenzhong say this, I suddenly said a little suddenly: "Oh? Then you might as well say it together."
………………………………………………………………………………………………………
"Boss, doesn't you think that Uncle Shao's age is really not young, doesn't it seem that he is too guilty to put the burden on Miss Fang Yihua?"
After saying this, Huang Wenzhong's eyes were firmly fixed on Lu Yan, as if he was eagerly waiting for his answer.
"TVB?" When he heard Huang Wenzhong's words, Lu Yan suddenly whispered with a heartbeat.
TVB was the world's largest Chinese-language commercial television station with about 2,000 employees at the beginning, but later employed about 50,000 full-time employees, including contract artists and employees of overseas subsidiaries. Since its establishment for decades, it has been the world's largest producer of Chinese columns, with the largest commercial TV production and operation center in Asia, accumulating more than 800,000 hours of columns, and establishing a huge treasure trove of columns. tvB has huge production resources, with many artists, singers and professional production personnel, and the annual output of 16,500 hours of columns, its quality and quantity are firmly in the leading position of Chinese TV programs in the world.
Over the years, tvB has produced award-winning entertainment, news and public affairs programmes and promotional videos, and has won more than 300 major international awards. Later, in 1997, TVB was selected as one of the 50 Most Competitive Companies in Asia, one of the 20 Outstanding Business Organisations in Hong Kong and one of the 200 Outstanding Companies in Asia. In 2001, he received the "2001 International Broadcasting Excellence Award" from the National Broadcasting Association.
Starting with free TV in Hong Kong, TVB has now diversified its business to include programme rental, pay TV, music, film, magazine publishing, etc., with about half of its business being local and half overseas. TVB is now the world's largest Chinese-language television station by stock market capitalization and one of the largest Chinese-language program providers.
Moreover, TVB holds the 'Miss Hong Kong Contest' every year, and the number of fundraising variety shows held every year is rare in other places.
Run Run Shaw is committed to building the Shaw Brothers Cinema in Clear Water Bay, Hong Kong, covering an area of nearly 800,000 square feet. The project took seven years to complete. Its scale is magnificent, and it is known as the "Hollywood of the East". Since then, a steady stream of films shot here has flowed to the Shaw Brothers Film Distribution Network, with more than 40 films produced each year, and it has remained the largest film and television production base in Hong Kong for decades.
It can be said that winning TVB is equivalent to winning the leading position in Hong Kong's entertainment industry.
Even putting aside TVB, Shaw Brothers Studios alone did make Lu Yan very red-eyed. For a long time, Lu Yan's most urgent thing is to have his own studio belonging to Dongcheng Images
But if you win Shaw Brothers Studios, it will be equivalent to having the largest filming location in Hong Kong
Looking at Lu Yan's yearning eyes, Huang Wenzhong nodded and said: "You must know that these artists in Hong Kong basically have family reasons when they debut. They need to come out early to make money, and they have nothing to do in business or office white-collar workers. There seems to be only one shortcut other than being a coolie. So they can all learn the skills of acting very hard. In fact, there is not much professional knowledge in Hong Kong's entertainment industry, and there is no real systematic education. Basically, it takes time to accumulate experience, and most actors and singers need several years or even ten years to hone their acting skills before they can gradually become popular.
The only thing that is a little systematic is the training course run by TVB, and they only train personnel for themselves, limiting the space for the academy to expand freely, which is a very narrow concept. Although the Hong Kong entertainment industry is relatively prosperous now, it is actually just a pool of fish in the backwater, and it just jumps a few times. The market is so small that people can only scramble for such a small piece of cake, and it will be bloody. Without the guidance of strong people, the Hong Kong entertainment industry will decline in the future. The market is too small on the one hand, and on the other hand, these bosses are too short-sighted, if the boss can break the stereotype and promote Hong Kong's entertainment industry to the world......"
"Bringing Hong Kong's entertainment industry to the world?" Lu Yan whispered, in fact, even the exchanges with Huang Wenzhong just now were just temporarily placing the pattern on the film market. Now Huang Wenzhong's words have indeed ignited a huge ambition in his heart.
We must know what chaotic Japanese and Korean waves will attack in the future, and completely begin to subvert Chinese culture. Since he was reborn and has this ability, why not let Chinese culture start to counterattack the world? Why do you always have to think passively about resisting the invasion of Hollywood at that time? It is better to take the lead in expanding the market for Hong Kong films before Hollywood blockbusters hit
"Uncle Sixth should have retired a long time ago and vacated the position for young people, don't occupy it for the elderly. Although he has made a great contribution to the history of Hong Kong film and television, this cannot be denied. We must not only remember history, but also look forward to the future, because now that he is old, he no longer has the ambition he used to have. If he is a few decades younger, he may still be able to push Hong Kong's entertainment industry to a higher level. But now, I hope the boss can take over the burden of Uncle Six......"
Uncle Shao Liu did not see it at some times, for example, Bruce Lee, who had not yet become famous, once asked him to recommend himself and wanted to make movies with a salary of $10,000 each. But Uncle Shao thought that this person was too arrogant and pushed the price to $2,500 each. As a result, Bruce Lee turned around and defected to Jiahe, the rival of the sixth uncle, causing Shaw Brothers to miss the "Golden Rooster", the most box office appeal in Hong Kong film history. Another time he rejected an application from a drama manager to buy 100 fried steamed buns for 20 yuan to the staff on the set, on the grounds that the steamed buns sold in the company's internal canteen were a dime each. As a result, the staff who went on location went on strike because they did not have breakfast, and Shaw Brothers lost nearly 10,000 yuan.
But in fact, these words in Huang Wenzhong are biased, at least the current Shao Sixth Uncle is very far-sighted in decision-making in the overall situation. Otherwise, how could he successfully build TVB into the largest TV station in Hong Kong, so that ATV did not fight back at all?
And although Qu Yiming, who doesn't know much about the Hong Kong entertainment industry, couldn't help but jump a few times when he heard this. Run Run Shaw, this is not a good bone to gnaw. Huang Wenzhong, after all, is a little too big. And wireless TVB is not so easy to operate.
But then, Qu Yiming smiled again. It was Lu Yan himself who let Huang Wenzhong speak freely, and it was indeed reasonable for him to say such a big blueprint.
Although it can't be done now, it doesn't mean that you can't think about it
Huang Wenzhong seems to have started to have some ideas about Hong Kong's entertainment industry after studying the Hong Kong entertainment industry. Lu Yan slowly digested his opinion, and after a little thought, he frowned and said, "So, you mean to let me start acquiring wireless TVB ......"
"Boss, I didn't say now, I just talked about the most macro blueprint. In fact, with the company's financial resources, it can't take TVB. And Uncle Shao Liu will definitely not let go. But we can start from this angle, step by step. First, an entertainment company was established, and Dongcheng Imaging and Debao Film Company were integrated with other departments to develop subsidiaries. For example, record companies and the like...... TVB, on the other hand, has to maintain cooperation. Of course, I suggest that the boss start buying TVB's fractional shares"
Hearing this, Lu Yan suddenly scolded in his heart: Isn't this Yin himself, who suddenly planned such a grand blueprint. It's so tempting to walk towards that goal step by step
