TVB and ATV are the most representative TV brands among Chinese audiences, and the two commercial TV stations in Hong Kong, a small place, have been at war and entangled for decades because of ratings and advertisers, the "root of all evil". Among them, especially the competition in TV series, is the most fierce, and it has also made countless classics our indelible memories.

In terms of qualifications, Asia TV is older than TVB. If memory serves, ATV was the first television outlet in Hong Kong. However, initially ATV was a pay TV station, so the emergence of wireless became ATV's biggest competitor, resulting in ATV eventually becoming a free-to-air TV station.

Although, in terms of wheel qualifications, ATV is the boss of TV, however, in terms of ratings, wireless is the first brother.

Wireless can suppress ATV for a long time, in addition to Shao Yifu's ability, the "Shaw Brothers" can be said to have contributed a lot. "Shaw Brothers" film company can be said to be the boss of the Chinese circle before the 80s. "Shaw Brothers products, must be the best products", this slogan is the same as the later wireless "go all out, do the best", the streets are well known. And it's not for nothing. It is the "Shaw Brothers" who have cultivated a large number of stars for TVB, so that the latter has always stood on the head of ATV, and is full of spirit and indispensable.

In that year, wireless monopolized the first- and second-tier singers in Hong Kong, the four kings, and the four divas were all wireless' signed singers. Even if Leslie Cheung was born in ATV, he had to go wireless in the end. The hegemonic clause of wireless is both loved and hated, wanting to become the most popular singer and actor in Hong Kong, and wanting to become the top artist in the Chinese circle. You must sign up for wireless. If you sign a contract, you can't go to other TV stations.

This clause was later made an exception by Jacky Cheung.

The most embarrassing thing is that in Hong Kong, many TV shows are the first of their kind by ATV. But it has been carried forward on TVB, and I have to say that this is a deep irony.

Overall, ATV is a "precarious" station with no long-term goals and can't keep up with trends. On the other hand, wireless, although the show is actually very mediocre, but. Wireless has always given me the feeling that it is very stable, not like the quality of the program is very high now, but after a while. After so-and-so is gone, the quality of the program drops. This is almost impossible to do in wireless, which always has a stable mode.

Participating in the acquisition of ATV has always been handled by Mak Yonghao. Preparation for the establishment of "Red Star Entertainment". It's coming to an end. Mai Yonghao's business is also relatively easy, and Yang Lin will naturally not let go of this right-hand man. It can be said that the current Yang Lin and Shi Nansheng are one leg to support the "Red Star Pictures", Xu Junqin coordinates the "Red Star Records", Kidd hosts the "Dream Factory" in the United States, and Chen Baixiang, the big-eyed boy, is responsible for the operation of the "Red Star Cinema Line".

And Mak Wing Ho. But it is Yang Lin's most important hand. Only "Red Star Entertainment" has been formed, regardless of whether it is successfully listed or not. All the resources under Yang Lin can be integrated.

Mai Yonghao's ability has always been recognized by Yang Lin, and he himself is quite conceited. However, the acquisition of ATV's shares, Mak Yonghao was very dissatisfied. The most dissatisfied thing is the order given to him by Yang Lin: at all costs. Mak Yonghao is very unhappy, what does it mean to do whatever it takes? Everything has a price, so desperately rushing up, the result is that the value of ATV has almost doubled.

Yang Lin obtained a total of 25% of ATV's shares in the hands of Qiu Degen, and the price paid was 300 million Hong Kong dollars. Lam bought 35% of the shares, valued at HK$420 million. Historically, the equity change occurred two years later, and Lin Baixin bought two-thirds of Qiu Degen's ATV shares, spending 420 million yuan, a difference of nearly double.

ATV's largest shareholder is still Qiu Degen. However, according to the agreement, although Qiu Degen will continue to serve as the chairman of ATV, he will give the position of production director to Yang Lin, and all the power of ATV's program production is in the hands of Yang Lin.

In this regard, Qiu Degen deeply agreed, after all, Yang Lin's talent is obvious to all.

However, for Lin Jianyue to take the position of general manager of ATV, Qiu Degen clearly opposed. Lin Baixin had no choice but to settle for the next best thing and let Lin Jianyue serve as a vice president, responsible for advertising operations. In fact, the advertising management of a TV station is very important, and it is an important position on a par with the production director.

Qiu Degen is also a strong figure, and although he finally agreed, he also made it clear that Lin Jianyue's business must be under his supervision.

In Mak Yonghao's view, another one to two years is the best time to acquire ATV. Because the current ATV has been overwhelmed, Qiu Degen's operation has gradually fallen into a quagmire and cannot last long.

Yang Lin's explanation for this is: no one knows what will happen in the future. You can see that two years from now is the best time to buy ATV, can't others see it? When everyone swarms up, the shit will become a cake, at that time, how much will it cost and how much will it cost?

Although we spend some money now, but worry-free, the boss is so considerate of you, you should feel fortunate and honored.

In this regard, Mak Yonghao scoffed.

In his opinion, either don't do it, or do it, you have to do it well.

Of course, Yang Lin has enough confidence to say something like that, people have money. A "People and Ghosts Are Not Over", which brought Yang Lin a profit of more than 70 million US dollars, 500 million Hong Kong dollars, how can it not be tossed?

This guy is making money so fast!

The big change in ATV's shareholding is like a strong typhoon blowing in Hong Kong. When I heard that ATV held a press conference, all kinds of media moved and gathered at ATV Building at 81 Broadcasting Road.

In the press conference hall of the ATV Building, long guns and short guns were waiting for each other, and the crowd was crowded. As one of the only two free-to-air television stations in Hong Kong, the change in equity can naturally attract enough attention. What's more, the identity of the new shareholder this time is even more surprising.

This was the first time Yang Lin had seen Lin Baixin, so he hurriedly stepped forward and bowed to greet him. Lin Baixin said with a smile: "You are younger than Ah Yue, but you are so capable, I am really envious." ”

Yang Lin hurriedly said a few words modestly, in front of a big man like Lin Baixin, he didn't have the slightest confidence in pride, people didn't rely on him to rely on cheats, that was today's achievement with real knives and guns, how could it not be awe-inspiring.

On the rostrum, Qiu Degen was in the center, Lin Baixin and Yang Lin were on the left and right, facing reporters together.

"May I ask Mr. Qiu, why did you resell the equity of ATV? Is it because ATV's poor management that you are no longer able to sustain? ”

Qiu Degen's eyes flashed slightly, although he knew that such words were probably spread all over Hong Kong now, but when he heard it with his own ears, he was still unhappy. He glanced at the reporter and said lightly: "Doing business is easy to say, but difficult to say. Mr. Lam Pak Yan and Mr. Yang Lin are both well-known people in Hong Kong with strong strength. It is a great honour to have these two partners as partners. ”

Reselling equity? You know the, do you know how much money I'm making? Can't afford to continue? Okay, you ask Lin Baixin and Yang Lin, when will we be able to lose all our money.

An old slippery head like Chu Degen, the reporter didn't want to hear anything from his words at all. So everyone tacitly put aside Qiu Degen and Lin Baixin, the old foxes, and unanimously aimed their guns at Yang Lin, a young man who looked "gentle and shy".

"Mr. Yang Lin, can you talk about why you want to acquire ATV's shares?"

Yang Lin smiled and said: "I like TV, and I think TV can also make money, it's as simple as that." ”

"So why did you buy ATV? ATV's benefits have always been inferior to those of wireless ones. ”

Yang Lin gave him an idiot look: "Then you can help me ask Mr. Shao, if he sells it, I will buy it." ”

There was a slight laugh from the reporter, and the reporter who asked the question probably realized that his question was rather idiotic, and his face was red.

"Excuse me, what role will you be in ATV?"

"Production Director, responsible for the production of all ATV shows."

The crowd was in an uproar.

The position of production director is the real core and most important position of the TV station. Generally speaking, due to the different nature of the program, it is divided into the director of the TV series, the director of the entertainment program, and even the director of the news program, but now, Yang Lin is actually the director of all the programs of ATV, which is really surprising.

"So, can you ask what your plans are for now?"

Yang Lin smiled: "Of course you can." More than half of this year has passed, and the general plan will be implemented according to the original steps. In terms of TV dramas, a Chinese New Year drama will be produced and broadcast during New Year's Day and Spring Festival. As for entertainment, there will be two new shows, one in the near future, and one after the Chinese New Year, so stay tuned. ”

"So, what do you think about Sister Ya's finals?"

The election of Miss Asia, after most of the time, Yang Lin made Chu Degen's appointment, which made Qiu Degen very dissatisfied.

For this problem, it has long been in Yang Lin's conception.

"I'll admit that last year's first Miss Asia was not a great success. Next, I will make a promise that last year's Asian sister Miss Li Yanshan and this year's Asian sister champion will be strongly supported by ATV. I personally wrote the script for the two of them and served as the heroine of the new play. ”

There was a commotion among the reporters, Yang Lin's script, that is God's script, whoever plays is popular.

Yang Lin looked at the reporters in the audience, and a smile appeared on the corner of his lips: "In addition, I want to convey a word to my colleagues at TVB through you: Brothers, since I am here, then be careful!" (To be continued......)
