Chapter Ninety-Seven: Separation

Hearing Zhang Shaoping's explanation, Chen Guanzhong thought for a while, and suddenly said: "Zhang Sheng, I agree with the merger of the Greater China and international editions of "TV Times", but I think it is enough to change the magazine to a semi-monthly magazine, and there is no need to be a monthly magazine. ”

"Oh, what do you think? Let's talk about it. ”

"I don't think 'TV' is limited to TV dramas, but any artist who uses the medium of TV can be considered a TV artist. For example, news anchors, program hosts, emcees, and even radio DJs can also be! ”

"Well, well said!" Zhang Shaoping said self-deprecatingly, "A word to wake up the dreamer, I am bound by the word 'TV', when I think of TV, I think of TV series, my thinking is too narrow!" ”

"Not only that, but you can also vote for cartoons! Time magazine in the United States can choose 'computer' as the person of the year, why can't cartoon virtual characters? If an artist can't even compare to a virtual animated character, he won't be considered the 'Most Popular Artist of the Year'. Moreover, we also have to set a rule that if an artist who does not participate in the crew or performing arts activities in a year cannot participate in the annual selection. ”

In 1982, Time named Computer Person of the Year. Time predicted: "Home computers will one day be as ubiquitous as televisions and dishwashers." ”

"Okay! In terms of detailed rules, you can just come up with it! ”

A few people gossiped, and finally made a decision, and the "TV Times" magazine added a column - repertoire evaluation, selecting excellent TV dramas and various programs at home and abroad for introduction and evaluation.

"Film Fortnightly" also made a change, changing its name to "The World's No. 1 Film Review", a monthly magazine. The permanent columns include "Author Research", "Film Record", "Film Analysis", "Filmmaker Interviews", and "Film Critics".

"Author Research" is launched in the form of a key person in each issue, whether it is a famous or deceased film master, a budding director, a filmmaker in an art film, or a film director in a commercial film, all of whom will be reviewed in depth by the column in the form of a special surname. "Film Documentary" is an on-site interview with an important director who is working on a new film, and follows up on the filming process of the entire film. "Film analysis" is the evaluation of new films with good or bad reputation. "Filmmaker Interviews" mainly interviews people who have made significant contributions to the development of films, such as producers, theater dealers, directors, actors, film history experts, and film behind-the-scenes workers. "Film critics" include manuscripts from professional senior film critics, as well as film reviews written by high-end fans.

In addition, Zhang Shaoping's later "Premiere" magazine has made a "Star Power List of the Year", "50 Best Films of the Year", and "Hong Kong Film Industry Survey Report". The survey report includes pre-release research, cinema research, box office research, moviegoers and screenings research, etc., and is evaluated once per issue.

According to Zhang Shaoping's meaning, if you don't do it, you won't do it, and since you do it, you must do the best and most authoritative. Such a magazine has enough hardware and gimmicks, and it can definitely attract high-end people who think they are literate and tasteful.

In a word, the popular is popular to the end and attracts people's attention; The professional one is packaged as the most professional, and it is applauded. Only such an authoritative magazine will hold the Hong Kong Film Awards with gold content and convincing, so that the elite or the public have nothing to say.

Chen Guanzhong and others really admired Zhang Shaoping's ghost ideas for running magazines, so that the magazine was wrapped in a coat, and it became both commercial and literary, no matter how you say it.

"Fashion" magazine mainly focuses on fashion information, urban white-collar stories and life guides, and Zhang Shaoping wanted to take advantage of this east wind to prepare to open another "Fashion" magazine to introduce his own fashion. In addition, Zhang Shaoping also wants to do men's magazines and women's magazines.

Thinking of this, Zhang Shaoping felt a headache, except for Chen Guanzhong and Liu Tianlan, everyone else is at the level of an editor, and it is too frustrating to play business operations.

"It seems that it is really necessary to hire a professional manager to take care of the company under your name!" These business operations, knife marketing and the like, Zhang Shaoping really can't play anymore, "It seems that there are a lot of working emperors in Hong Kong, and I don't know if I can meet one or two." ”

After talking about the reorganization and reorganization of the magazine and setting the preparatory committee for the Hong Kong Film Awards, Zhang Shaoping said: "That's it, everyone just go down and do a good job according to the plan." ”

Personnel arrangements and other things, Zhang Shaoping did not move for the time being, and still let Chen Baisheng, the former editor-in-chief of "Film Fortnightly", and others preside over "The World's No. 1 Film Review". In fact, Chen Baisheng and Shu Qi are not talentless, but they are too surnamed, with deep personal preferences, and the magazines they run are of course very popular with those who like them, and those who don't like them directly tear their butts when they squat in the toilet.

......

......

The magazine was reorganized and reorganized, and since the plan had been drawn up, Zhang Shaoping let it go to Chen Guanzhong and others, and he now took out his hand to deal with the time bomb of the Han and Tang Dynasty Fengxing clothing companies.

Bringing these three people to the office, Zhang Shaoping asked straight to the point: "In order to do something trivial, the whole company knows about it, can you use it?" ”

Zhang Tianyan said: "Zhang Sheng, this is not a trivial matter, this is a major matter related to the creation and design concept. We do fashion design, just like school teachers, teachers teach serious, stereotyped, humorous, funny, we design clothing also Chinese, Western, Chinese and Western combinations, or focus on calm, or pay attention to leisure, or pay attention to youth and liveliness, all have their own style. Can this be changed? Wouldn't it be a change in one's own aura? ”

Tan Yanyu also nodded in agreement, and said: "Tianyan is right, we do clothing design, only to make our own style is the best." ”

Liu Beiji glanced at Zhang Shaoping, who was very entangled, and said with a smile: "Zhang Sheng, things are not as bad as you think, it is normal for us to quarrel and quarrel over design, and after the quarrel, everyone will work together to make new products, and it will be as good as ever." ”

Zhang Shaoping was speechless, thinking: It's just a quarrel once or twice, but every time you argue, this time you count more, no matter how good your friends are, they will inevitably turn against each other.

As far as Zhang Shaoping knows, it is a station that has a lot of newspapers and periodicals in Hong Kong and Taiwan. Bay Rolling Stone Records, the Duan brothers and the company's veterans Wu Chuchu and Peng Yuhua had disagreements because of the music style and the company's future development direction, which caused Wu Chuchu and the Duan brothers to break up and quit angrily. Therefore, if you quarrel for a long time, breaking up is secondary, and the most feared thing is that you can't even be friends, but become a strong competitor.

And Tan Yanyu, Zhang Tianxi, and Liu Beiji are not simple goods.

Among the three, Zhang Shaoping had the deepest impression of Tan Yanyu, and he remembered the previous life. The honor of the World Trade Center Association Pavilion of the Shanghai World Expo said, Tan Yanyu's fashion show was full of style. After the fashion show, the president of the World Trade Centers Association also walked onto the T-shaped stage to present flowers to Tan Yanyu.

Tan Yanyu has been dubbed by the Western media as "the new generation. national representatives". Call her work ingenious and whimsical from it. Capture inspiration from national culture and be determined to innovate. Her work is not only integrated into it. The blank space of Chinese painting, freehand landscapes, flowers and birds, and calligraphy skeletons have been transformed into fashion symbols, and have been incorporated into the agility and imagination of the Hollywood blockbuster movie "Avatar".

It can be said that Tan Yanyu's design is full of aura and brings the subtle beauty of the Orient to the extreme. Such an outstanding top fashion designer among the Chinese, Zhang Shaoping can't forget it.

And Zhang Tianxi is also a celebrity, learned ballet when he was a child, changed clothes for people at the age of 13, and then went to the Royal Ballet Academy to study, and also widely dabbled in many art categories, such as music, opera, stage makeup, painting, sculpture, etc. In addition, she studied costume design and participated in fashion shows as a model at the age of 80 at the age of 19. The year before last, he founded his own fashion brand "Pavlova". Last year, she made eight movies in one go, and then she felt that being an actor was boring, so she jumped to Zhang Shaoping's company.

That's it, the three words "Zhang Tianxi" resounded, and now there is no fame in clothing design, but Zhang Shaoping has an impression of her, because her second husband is a businessman surnamed Xing who later married Lin Qingxia. Zhang Shaoping read the report in his previous life that Lin Qingxia had a best friend named Zhang Tianxi, and after checking, I realized that this woman was so strong that she was a designer of several clothing brands, and she could do everything, and she could be good friends with her ex-husband's woman!

Compared with the dazzling achievements of these two women in the future, it is Liu Peiji, Zhang Shaoping has never heard of it. But he hasn't heard of it, it doesn't mean that people will be frustrated, Liu Beiji's fame at this time is definitely greater than the two girls in front of him. He began working as an apprentice tailor in a fashion design company at the age of 11, then studied British fashion design, and in 1972 he was the evening designer of TVB's Miss Hong Kong election. It's a pity that he hasn't created his own clothing brand yet, and his fame has never been great.

Changing to a comfortable sitting position, Zhang Shaoping said: "I don't care if you will reconcile after every quarrel, but I only know one thing, when there are big differences, there will be many contradictions, and the best way is to split up." ”

When the three of them heard this, they looked at each other.

"Han Tang Fengxing clothing company, at present, there are only two brands of gentry and ladies, even if there are many styles, but the style is still the same, it is not good." Zhang Shaoping gently tapped on the table with both hands, "I allow you to create your own brand, promote, advertise, hold fashion shows, etc., I will help you do it with one hand, you just need to innovate the design." For each successful brand, you can get three layers of net profit for one year, and seven layers for the company. ”

When Zhang Tianyan heard this, she asked in surprise: "Zhang Sheng, do you really support us in creating a brand?" ”

"Of course, I will do what I say, but only if you succeed! Think about it. Zhang Shaoping said.

Speaking of which, this is also a way out of the way, because even if Zhang Shaoping does not let the three of them establish a personal clothing brand, other companies will poach with high interests, and even without poaching, Tan Yanyu and Zhang Tianxi will also take the initiative to leave and create a brand. An excellent fashion designer will inevitably try to establish a personal brand, reach the top level through continuous design, and become a master of fashion design.

If it were someone else, Zhang Shaoping would not share the profits at all, but the future achievements of these two women are too great, and they are the kind that will inevitably succeed, and they can't give benefits if they want to. As for Liu Beiji, Zhang Shaoping didn't want to be honest and give people a feeling of favoritism, so he took it by the way.

After a while, Zhang Shaoping asked, "Have you thought about it?" ”

Zhang Tianyan hurriedly said: "Since Zhang Sheng is willing to support us in creating a personal clothing brand, I am naturally willing." ”

Of course she was willing, the year before last, when she was just 20 years old, she started to create her own clothing brand "Pavlova", but she hit the street very quickly, and she had to go to the movies the next year. When she went to Hantang Company, in addition to stealing teachers, she also had plans to find a big tree to enjoy the shade, and without the support of a large company, it was very difficult to become famous.

Tan Yanyu also agreed, and said with a smile: "I will not refuse such a good thing, with Zhang Sheng's support, at least I can save more than ten years of struggle." ”

"Zhang Sheng, I'll forget it!" When it was Liu Beiji's turn, he shook his head and refused, saying: "I know that I have a few pounds and a few taels, and I can't play with personal clothing brand design." ”

Everyone is well thought out, Liu Beiji's idea is very simple, these two people are gone, there will be no one to compete with him, he will naturally become the chief designer of the two major brand design teams of gentry and ladies, and the right to speak will become bigger.

If you can really successfully create a personal clothing brand, it will definitely be fame and fortune, but there are so many fashion designers in the world, how many people can succeed? Almost all of them hit the streets.

......

......

Let Tan Yanyu and the three of them do such a big thing as personal brand clothing, of course Zhang Shaoping told Huo Zhenting, but Huo Zhenting did not want the clothes made by the three of them to be affiliated with the name of Han Tang Fengxing Clothing Company. Quite simply, because the individual's clothing design has an uncertain surname, if it is messed up, it will destroy the name of the popular clothing of the Han and Tang Dynasties.

Zhang Shaoping was not reluctant, he simply set up a Huafu holding company, imitated Jiahe's satellite system, stripped out the factory and specialty stores, and took them under the name of the holding company, and then the Han and Tang Dynasty Fengxing Garment Company and the new and future garment companies existed as subsidiaries. In this way, it is also a good thing that each can share resources and benefit each other.
