The two sat down, exchanged a few words, and talked about matters related to the release of the series.

When talking with ATV, Zhang Shaoping has always held the initiative, but after saying a few words to Fang Yihua, she said in a deep voice: "The proportion of agency fees, we have always given only 10% of wireless, and we will never make an exception!" Zhang Sheng, if you want to talk about the agent ratio, I don't think we have anything to talk about. ”

One sentence blocked Zhang Shaoping's various excuses and excuses, and people don't want to talk to you about it. In the face of ATV, Zhang Shaoping can be anti-customer-oriented, but when it comes to wireless, there is no doubt that he is definitely a big bully.

"But ......" Zhang Shaoping still wants to "fight with reason" and convince the "one-size-fits-all" female tyrant in front of him.

"No, but! I know that ATV may talk to Zhang Sheng about the proportion of agency accounting, but can we compare our wireless with ATV? We have our own good distribution channels in South Korea and Southeast Asian countries, and ATV is just getting started. In the local market of Hong Kong, our wireless accounts for 80% of the advertising business, while ATV has almost shrunk to the point of making ends meet. Compared with the ratings, our wireless is a few streets behind ATV, and the gap is too big to compare. ”

Fang Yihua interrupted Zhang Shaoping's theory, and then laid out facts and examples, sentence after sentence, and Zhang Shaoping was speechless. ATV does urgently need other operating income other than advertising to reduce losses, but wireless has a lot of money, and people have made it clear that you have a little money, it is good to have it, and it doesn't matter if you don't.

Listening to Fang Yihua's aggressive words, Zhang Shaoping did not rush to refute, but took advantage of the tea tasting interval to brew his rhetoric.

Fang Yihua has been trained in shopping malls for a long time, and his skills in business negotiation are perfect, and he is the first to take the lead, infinitely reduce his own shortcomings, infinitely amplify his own advantages, show his confidence, and establish a leading position. But Zhang Shaoping dared to come to wireless, and of course he did his homework. Wireless has deep pockets and good distribution channels, and it looks impeccable, but because it has too many advantages, it has become a shortcoming that is not a disadvantage.

In fact, it is not difficult to understand that the big family and the big business often affect the whole body, so many things will be tied up, and they dare not take the lead in trying it.

Zhang Shaoping vaguely remembered that the later generation of wireless seemed to be the only television station that could legally settle down in the two sides of the strait, which showed that wireless adopted the means of currying favor on both sides of the strait and operated a deep relationship. But at this time, wireless and ATV have not yet set foot in the mainland. Wireless is only a subsidiary of Shaw Brothers, and Shaw Brothers also has a subsidiary of Shaw Brothers, and Taiwan, as a very important foreign market for Hong Kong films, deeply affects the decision-making of Shaw Brothers' top management.

Therefore, in the original time and space, it was not until Shaw Brothers Pictures was almost discontinued that Shao Daheng made a major decision, and Wireless began to enter the mainland to open up the TV market. In the original time and space, there was no Zhang Shaoping to insert a rod, ATV's distribution focus is Southeast Asian countries, for the mainland market, it did not focus on bothering to operate, but even so, due to the first-come, first-served relationship, until the early 90s, the influence of wireless in the mainland was depressed by ATV.

Of course, Zhang Shaoping cannot remember or know all these historical trajectories, but he firmly believes that no one can refuse the market charm of the mainland, and wireless is no exception.

Thinking of this, Zhang Shaoping put down the teacup and said with a faint smile: "As the saying goes, those who are barefoot are not afraid of wearing shoes!" It is precisely because ATV has lost to only one skin, so it dares to go out and gamble! Last year, "Shaolin Temple" was released in the mainland and hit a box office of 100 million yuan, which shows that the mainland market has become huge to the point of appalling. Just like when wireless was a free TV, Li's carelessness, maybe ATV will also copy the miracle and break out of the world in the mainland. At that time, it is not impossible to rely on the mainland market to counterattack the Hong Kong market. ”

What Zhang Shaoping said, Fang Yihua knows everything, and even understands it more clearly than him. Taiwan has not yet opened up the party. Forbidden, there are only three TV stations in Baodao, they are all self-sufficient, whether it is ATV or wireless, it is impossible to break in. The only thing Shaw Brothers cares about is Taiwan's film market, and until it is certain that the mainland can relax restrictions, Shaw Brothers will never lose sesame seeds for the so-called watermelon.

Why?

It turned out that Hong Kong had lost the vast market of the mainland, and after the Taiwan authorities gained a firm foothold, they took the opportunity to win over, so in 1957, Hong Kong filmmakers established the "Hong Kong and Kowloon Film and Drama Freedom Association". In the future, all Hong Kong films imported to Taiwan for release must be produced by members of the "Freedom Federation", and the films of leftist film companies will be excluded.

To this day, the political environment between the two sides of the strait is still in the midst of ideological contention and hostile relations, and the Taiwan authorities have even shouted the slogan of "no two sides between the two sides of the Chinese and the thief." This is an either/or era, either pro-mainland or pro-Taiwan, there is no second choice. That's why the Shaw Brothers are so entangled, if they enter the mainland, they are afraid that they will offend the Taiwan authorities, and in the end the gains will outweigh the losses, but if they don't do anything, they are afraid that ATV will take the lead.

"Zhang Sheng, you can talk a lot! Okay, we know the roots, no one should go around in circles, just be direct and honest. ”

Zhang Shaoping's words hit the soft underbelly of wireless all of a sudden, which impressed Fang Yihua. Secret Dao: The sixth uncle is right, this son's vision is ruthless, comparable to an old guy who has lived for most of his life.

What wireless lacks is not a relationship, but determination.

Zhang Shaoping remembered that it was reported in the media that Taizu liked to watch Li Xiaolong's movies very much in his later years, among which Shao Daheng once ran for this matter and borrowed a few Li Xiaolong's movies for **. Shao Daheng also introduced Li Xiaolong's movies from the mainland, and the relationship with the mainland slowly warmed up. After that, he secretly went to the mainland, but he didn't see the newspaper.

Therefore, when it comes to the relationship, wireless does not need to go through Zhang Shaoping's hands at all, and it can go directly to Tianting. But it's one thing to have a relationship, it's another thing to make it public.

Wireless not only wants to land in the mainland, not to fall behind, but also wants to block the mouth of the outside, the best way is to borrow Zhang Shaoping's hand to do something tentative. Zhang Shaoping pinched this point and had the confidence to negotiate.

"Miss Fang is really refreshing! Okay, I'll just say it straight, agent distribution, the price difference between you and me is too big, although you wireless don't want to, I don't want to talk about this. Let's talk about selling out the broadcast rights. ”

Zhang Shaoping put down the teacup in his hand, and then continued: "Whatever price I give ATV, I will give TVB what price I give, and what conditions ATV gives, TVB also gives me what conditions!" Other than that, I don't give any of them, and I don't want any of them! If Miss Fang thinks it's okay, we'll sign the contract, and if we don't think it's okay, then everyone's business won't be benevolent, so let's talk about it. ”

Fang Yihua was noncommittal, and said, "You say, what price and conditions?" ”

Zhang Shaoping said it truthfully, Fang Yihua listened, and suddenly smiled: "These are all easy to say, only one point, you have to change it!" ”

"Oh, but I don't know what it is?"

Fang Yihua turned a blind eye to Zhang Shaoping's unhappiness and said: "Our wireless dramas cannot be packaged and sold to you, but sold in batches, and you can only buy out 5 TV series at a time." ”

Hearing this, Zhang Shaoping thought with his toes, and he also knew what kind of calculation was wireless for. First, the selling price will be adjusted according to the market price, and second, if the Taiwan authorities do not violently oppose the advance, they will plan to go into battle in person.

Knowing this, of course Zhang Shaoping refused, shook his head and said: "5 TV series, too few!" At least 30 of them! ”

This is completely a lion's big mouth, and the inventory of wireless, which is counted as a classic, can't make up this number at all.

"8 parts! Sell out up to 8 episodes at a time, no matter how much you don't have to negotiate! ”

Fang Yihua said categorically, and there was no room for negotiation.

"8 is 8!" After Zhang Shaoping knew that there was no need to discuss, he immediately got off the donkey. In his mind, even if he wanted to unload the mill and kill the donkey, he would probably have to trade a few times. It's early, and we can talk about it later.

can only buy out the mainland broadcast rights of 8 dramas at a time, and Zhang Shaoping of course chooses the best of the best. Huang Yuanshen starred in "Xiao Li Flying Knife", Zheng Shaoqiu starred in "Chu Liuxiang", Zhou Yanfa starred in "Shanghai Tang", Wang Mingquan starred in "Jinghua Spring Dream", "Thousands of Rivers, Thousands of Mountains Always Love" and "The King of a Thousand Kings", Chen Yulian starred in "Dragon Babu" and "Thirteen Taibao", a total of 10 dramas.

After picking the episodes, it's time to sign the contract.

When everything was successfully completed, Zhang Shaoping immediately took the copies of the TV series of Wireless and ATV, picked out "Hero Huo Yuanjia", "Thousands of Rivers, Thousands of Mountains Always Love" and "Chen Zhen", and rushed to Suicheng non-stop. Several high-level executives of Guangdong-Dong TV station were called to gather together to watch three dramas.

Watching dramas is very time-consuming, and it takes at least ten days and half a month.

Zhang Shaoping, in line with the principle that Mi Xue is his own family, deliberately singled out "Hero Huo Yuanjia" and took the lead in screening.

"Ah...... After a hundred years of sleep, the Chinese people have gradually woken up...... We must devote ourselves to the prosperity of the country, and let the land be trampled on again! All of them take on the mission, the Great Wall will never fall, and the Yellow River will be surging ......for thousands of miles."

Not to mention the wonderful fight like a marquee at the beginning of the film, the shocking visual impact of the surname, the classic song "The Great Wall Never Falls" alone caused a huge resonance when it was sung. This feeling is by no means tantamount to the huge shock of Hong Kong people when they see the American blockbuster "Jurassic Park".

"Okay, sing so well!"

When the phrase "the Great Wall will never fall" was sung, several high-level executives of the TV station all stood up and applauded. Including Liu Chi, their faces were flushed, and they were so excited that they couldn't help themselves.

After the excitement, several people smiled at Zhang Shaoping embarrassedly, sat down again, and watched "Hero Huo Yuanjia".

In Zhang Shaoping's eyes, this TV series has many shortcomings, such as the packaging is not exquisite enough, the scenes are few and small, and it is a bit fake when you look closely, and the modeling, makeup, costumes, colors, photography, etc. are too simple and rough. However, despite all the shortcomings, a classic is a classic, and even a picky person like Zhang Shaoping is still enthusiastic.

I watched the first episode impatiently, and then I couldn't wait to watch the second episode. Unconsciously, several people nested in a screening room and watched four episodes of the TV series. At this time, it was already the beginning of the lanterns, but Liu Chi and the others were still in high spirits, looking unfinished.

"After dinner, let's see!" Liu Chi said.

After the meal, the group returned to the screening room. After Zhang Shaoping watched a few episodes with a few more people, he couldn't stand it anymore, confessed, and went to sleep. When he woke up, the sky was already bright, Zhang Shaoping finished washing, returned to the screening room, and just saw the finale of the film. In the last scene, Chen Zhen was not afraid of the muzzle of the gun and jumped up.

"This film is very good, full of patriotism and nationalism, let's take it to Secretary Ren and them to see if we can broadcast this one!" The last classic scene is too tragic and exciting, Director Yang Su couldn't help but say.

"Don't watch these two?" Zhang Shaoping asked.

"The film won't leave here, what are you in a hurry for this little comrade? We can finish playing "Huo Yuanjia" and then play the other two! Yang Su said with a smile while he was old.

In the original history, "Hero Huo Yuanjia" was broadcast first, and Zhang Shaoping naturally would not object.
