In TVB's press conference room, the media gathered and the whole Hong Kong attracted attention.

Although I didn't know in advance what news TVB was going to release, thinking of the urgent situation now, it is not difficult to imagine that it must be related to TVB's "overlord contract".

There are two kinds of contracts signed between TVB and artists, one is called "Ministry Contract", which is specially used for big names in TV dramas, such as Zhou Yunfa and Zhao Yazhi. In fact, most of the artists who sign a head contract with TVB cannot be called TVB artists, they can be said to be a cooperative relationship with TVB, and the "head contract" generally only stipulates how many TV series are filmed a year, and the constraints on artists are quite limited.

The second type of "long-term contract" is called "manager contract", which is the "overlord contract" that artists hate.

Artists with this kind of contract will plan their acting careers for artists, in addition to letting artists film, they will also receive some advertisements for them, stage and other activities, and at the TVB celebration, priority will be given to artists who sign full manager contracts to win awards. This kind of contract is very good for cultivating new talents, but the harsh conditions behind it and the meager remuneration are unwilling for many people to accept.

On the rostrum, Shao Yifu sat in the center, no one left or right, and only he attended the press conference.

The reporters were taken aback and immediately felt that something was extremely unusual.

Shao Yifu's eyes swept around the audience, patted the microphone with his palm, tested whether the microphone was easy to use, and said slowly: "Everyone, I invite you to participate in this press conference today, and I want to inform you of one thing. ”

What kind of big event will Shao Yifu personally preside over the press conference?

"From now on. TVB's manager contract will shorten the contract period to three years. Three years later. The choice will be made to renew the contract or to re-sign the head contract. Moreover, at present, all artists who have signed a manager contract for three years are eligible to apply for a head contract. ”

Shao Yifu finished slowly, but his heart was full of bitterness. It is this one that depends on it. The managerial contract he created himself controlled countless talents, and he had to work for TVB. Thus in the battle for ATV. Maintain an advantage over the long term.

But now, he can't help but announce it himself, terminating this contract.

The annulment of the manager's contract on behalf of TVB. Since then, we have entered a new period. Control over the artist. It is no longer a treaty restriction, a legal constraint. Rather, it shifts to the treatment, and the overall competitiveness of TVB.

Only better treatment, more salary, and more acting opportunities can we retain those excellent artists. Because they can go and film for ATV at any time, though. They are still wireless artists, and they can only get some share of the salary.

Or rather. This is not only a new era of wireless, but also a new era of ATV.

To a certain extent, ATV's lack of talent can be moderately alleviated and greatly improve its competitiveness. With this rise, ATV's momentum will be more aggressive.

With a "boom", in the press room, it was like setting off a bomb, which caused a group of people to turn on their backs and scream. Which of the reporters present doesn't know the trick? Does this mean that TVB has abandoned its martial arts, given up its own advantages, and started a showdown with ATV?

Without this contract, TVB's artists can easily accept ATV's invitation, and the flow of talent will be more frequent. The competitiveness of TVB will drop sharply by one level. You must know that the advantages of TVB TV have too many excellent artists, which occupy a large share.

"Mr. Shao, why did you make such a decision?"

Shao Yifu smiled indifferently: "The times are developing, we must try our best to adapt to the trend of society, and make some appropriate changes according to the situation." We at TVB have been, are and will always uphold the concept of people-oriented. While dedicating excellent TV programs to the audience, we should also care for our artists as much as possible. ”

"May I ask Mr. Shao, is your decision related to the 'Sister Hong Kong incident'?"

The so-called "Sister Hong Kong incident" naturally refers to the incident in which "Sister Hong Kong" Li Meishan bombarded the wireless "Overlord Contract" not long ago.

Shao Yifu still smiled lightly, and after decades of ups and downs in the business world, he had long been trained to have a firm mind.

"It's kind of a little. After that incident, I was wondering if this manager contract was a 'bully contract' as they said. Hehe, everyone should also know that it is this contract that allows us to cultivate and support a newcomer without reservation. There is no guarantee, if we waste so much effort, but this artist changes to another company, how big will our loss be? The sword has twin peaks, and everything has advantages and disadvantages, and that's it. ”

Shao Yifu said it well, but reporters don't want to hear such clichés.

"Mr. Shao, if this contract is abolished, do you still have the confidence and ability to defeat ATV? Do you have any specific plans to fight against "Golden Bough Desire", which has 53 ratings? ”

"Hehe," Shao Yifu muttered, this is not easy to answer, there are traps. Even if you are as shrewd as Shao Yifu, you have to think about it before you can answer.

"As we all know, our TVB TV series have always been high-quality and have produced countless classics. We have the best actors, the best management, the best logistics system, the best screenwriters, and we have the confidence and ability to defeat any opponent, including ATV, of course. As for the "Golden Branch", I have to say, but it is an excellent TV series. However, that's about it. ATV has produced many classics, such as "The Great Hero Huo Yuanjia". However, the final result is visible to all. ”

"The Desire of the Golden Branch" is good, so what? It's just a flash in the pan, the boss of Hong Kong TV dramas is still TVB.

"Excuse me, I heard that this time, dozens of artists from TVB jointly planned to launch a march to ask for a fair contract. Are you under pressure to do so? ”

There was an instant silence in the audience. are waiting for Shao Yifu's answer.

Many reporters who are not well-informed do not know that the artists of TVB are not yet known. There was such a big move, and they whispered to each other, exchanging each other's information.

Shao Yifu's face was a little unsightly. He believes that those artists who plan to march and protest will never leak the news in advance.

So, where did he get this news? Don't. Behind this matter, there is a more subtle conspiracy hidden? If there are really people, they are fanning the flames and fueling the flames behind the scenes. That's a great enemy. Could it really be Yang Lin? However, all the news indicates that the kid is still in the mainland. Can he command this remotely? No way.

No matter how suspicious and vigilant you are. Anyway, this matter is something that Bend-bend can't admit. Otherwise, it will be a huge blow to the prestige of TVB, and the impact will be immeasurable.

"The artists in the stage did have opinions, and it was they who reflected to me that prompted me to make today's decision in the first place. As for the joint protest you mentioned, I don't know. I haven't even heard of it, and I don't know where you heard it. TVB. It has always been a whole, united and enterprising, and striving for progress. I've said all I have to say. I'm old and I don't have enough energy, so that's all for today. Thank you all for coming, and if there is any further progress, we will definitely let you know as soon as possible, thank you. ”

Walking out of the press conference, Shao Yifu immediately said to the people around him: "Investigate immediately whether Yang Lin is in Hong Kong." ”

Shao Yifu vaguely felt that Yang Lin must have played a disgraceful role behind this incident.

Before he could walk back to the office, Feng Meiji, the manager of the artist department, walked over quickly and whispered: "Mr. Shao, ATV's people are here and want to buy out the contracts of Wu Zhenyu, Zhou Xingchi and Ouyang Zhenhua. You see"

Shao Yifu was stunned for a moment, and then said unhappily: "You have to ask me about this?" These three boys, who are the initiators of this matter, must be punished and cannot be sold. ”

No ads, no announcements, no new plays, nothing. Lao Tzu doesn't hide the snow of you three boys until they freeze into popsicles, how can I eliminate the hatred in my heart?

Feng Meiji smiled wryly: "But this person who came is the personal lawyer who trusts the Hong Kong Governor, Sir Wei Dewei, and is also Yang Lin's legal adviser. ”

Shao Yifu was stunned.

Not long ago, Hong Kong Governor Youde died of a heart attack while visiting the mainland capital. Now, Sir Chung Yat-kit, Chief Secretary of Hong Kong, is the acting Governor of Hong Kong. However, the British government has announced the candidate for the new governor of Hong Kong, which is Wei Dewei. It's just that Wei Dewei still has important affairs in the mainland, so he can only take up his post later.

How could this Yang Lin get mixed up with Wei Dewei?

This is also too powerful!

can instruct Wei Dewei's personal lawyer, the meaning of which is self-evident, Wei Dewei must stand behind Yang Lin. At this point, Shao Yifu had to consider whether to sell Wei Dewei a face.

In fact, there is nothing to consider, can it be done if you don't sell it? Cheeky with the soon-to-be-appointed governor of Hong Kong? Shao Yifu is not a fool. Once this festival is over, how can Wei Dewei not retaliate? What's more, there is also Yang Lin fanning the flames behind.

This kid has become a demon!

Shao Yifu's face was gloomy, and he said firmly: "You can do it yourself." Turning around and walking into his office, he slammed the door shut, which showed how annoyed he was.

Feng Meiji shrugged helplessly, looking at it? That's agreeing. But how did this Yang Lin get involved with the new Hong Kong governor? That's amazing!

The change in the manager contract of TVB marks the beginning of a new era for Hong Kong's television industry.

The communication between the actors is easier, and the quality of the TV series is more sophisticated, which is what the audience likes to see. Only when the competition is more intense, will there be more good programs to see, and everyone understands this truth.

But relatively speaking, TVB is equivalent to suffering a dumb loss, but ATV has picked up a big bargain. Although ATV also has a lot of famous artists, it is not inferior to TVB in all grades. Nowadays, it is easier to choose your favorite actors, whether it is an ATV artist or a wireless artist. As long as the schedule is fine, everything is fine.

No matter which artist it is, it is impossible for TVB to fill his schedule and leave no chance for ATV.

In the large conference room of ATV, a meeting on the work plan for the 1987 year is being held.

Like the last time, it was not so much a meeting as Yang Lin making a report and assigning tasks.

"This step of "No. 1 Imperial Court" is supervised by Ah Jian."

Yang Lin threw a script in front of Zhuang Weijian.

This TV series is Ouyang Zhenhua's famous work. At that time, it created a precedent for professional dramas, and after the success of this drama, TVB successively started filming different types of professional dramas, such as Wonderful Hands and Benevolence, Forensic Records, Fire Ambition, Forensic Pioneer, etc.

Hong Kong is a rule of law, but can the current legal system effectively uphold justice and punish the evildoers? This TV series, through the trial of the case, reflects the impact of Hong Kong's legal system on people from different walks of life. With several cases, it tells the story of a group of righteous lawyers in Hong Kong who fought with each other in the courtroom and experienced various personal emotional tests outside the courtroom.

"The starring role is Ouyang Zhenhua?" Zhuang Weijian frowned and asked. Could it be that Yang Lin is taking care of his acquaintances during the wireless period?

Yang Lin glanced at him and shook his head: "Ouyang Zhenhua is a person with great acting talent. Moreover, I want him to play the leading role in this play, which is also a strategy, and I want those wireless artists to take a look, and when they come to my side, they can be reused. They may not switch to ATV, but they will have a subconscious in their hearts that ATV is willing to give newcomers a chance. Then when they have the opportunity to cooperate with ATV, they will not only not resist, but will yearn for it. Don't look down on those newcomers, among the second-rate actors of TVB, powerful people abound. ”

Zhuang Weijian just asked, even if Yang Lin betrayed favors and gave the old man a chance to open a new play, he would not say anything. Who doesn't have a few diehards? If you don't pay at all, who wants to follow you.

"This "Joking about Qianlong" is produced by Brother Hao, and the filming location is also in the mainland. Mei Cainu is also there now, just so that we can support each other, and also relieve the pain of lovesickness a little, so as to save Mei Cainu from scolding me as a director for being unkind. ”

Everyone laughed.

Liu Jiahao is Mei Xiaoqing's husband, and the husband and wife are both producers of ATV, which complement each other.

Yang Lin picked up the last script: "This is next year's Taiwan celebration drama, which will be released during New Year's Day and end before the Spring Festival." It is the top priority next year, and whether it can withstand the counterattack of TVB is a matter of course. ”

If I am not mistaken, TVB's Taiwan celebration drama next year will be the sequel to Liang Chaowei's "Senior Brother Xinzha". It's a bit overkill to take out this TV series to fight TVB.

There's no way, I can't always stay in ATV, and after the New Year, I have to start filming "True Lies". Let's suppress TVB as soon as possible.

looked at the name of the script, "Intolerable". (To be continued......)
