Chapter 114: Artist Training Class
The premiere ratings of "The Peerless Twins" surpassed "Dragon Babu", making all the arrangements made by wireless before useless. Not only that, but the number of three episodes broadcast per day has also become a strict burden for the crew of "Dragon Babu", because no matter how hard they rush to work, the filming schedule can never keep up with the broadcast schedule.
The plan to snipe ATV has failed, and the three-episode broadcast method has put a strict burden on itself, which is by no means a long-term solution. Shao Yifu judged the situation and decided to change the broadcast time and number of episodes of "Dragon Babu" back to the original, but directly announcing that this would be tantamount to bowing to ATV and admitting defeat, and Shao Yifu, who has always had a good face, will definitely not be able to accept it.
At this time, Wang Tianlin, the director of "Dragon Babu", finally "fell ill" due to overwork.
Wireless immediately announced that Xiao Mo would replace Wang Tianlin to continue filming "Dragon Babu", and on this ground, the daily broadcast time of "Dragon Babu" was changed back to 8 o'clock in the evening, and the number of episodes broadcast was changed from three episodes a day to two episodes a day, and finally this matter was settled without losing face.
Qiu Degen was happy for several days after learning of this. Since he took charge of ATV, wireless has been defeated twice in a row, and last time "Chu Liuxiang" can be said to be calculated or unintentional, and he was caught off guard by wireless, but this time wireless took the initiative to attack, and the two sides have been considered head-to-head, and ATV can win of course more convincingly.
In addition to being happy, Qiu Degen did not forget Lin Xi, who helped him achieve these two victories.
Although at the beginning of ATV's establishment, Qiu Degen's opinion of Lin Xi was a little shaken, but after experiencing so many things, he already understood that Lin Xi's role was indispensable if ATV wanted to continue to fight against wireless.
After thinking about this, Qiu Degen became more and more determined to befriend Lin Xi.
After Lin Xi promised to lend Zhou Xingchi and Liang Chaowei to ATV for filming, Qiu Degen personally came forward to banquet Lin Xi to show his gratitude.
"Lin Sheng, come on, try this dish!"
Qiu Degen took a pair of chopsticks that he had never used, and put a piece of fish meat on the plate in front of Lin Xi.
Xu Xiaoming, who accompanied him, and several other senior executives of ATV saw this situation, how could they not understand the thoughts of their boss, this is to spare no effort to win over Lin Xi.
Although the thoughts in my heart are different, there are joys and sorrows, but the boss has set an example, and his subordinates naturally have to do their best to help the boss achieve his wishes.
As soon as Qiu Degen sat down here, everyone at the other end took turns to get up and toast Lin Xi, and all kinds of compliments were not repeated.
Lin Xi coped politely on the surface, but in his heart he was like a mirror.
After everyone finished toasting, Qiu Degen put down his chopsticks and was about to speak, Lin Xi cheered up seriously, because he knew that the main drama was about to start.
"Lin Sheng, now you and I are actually in the same boat, I won't say much about the words of being in the same boat, if you have any good ideas in the future, I hope you don't be stingy with teaching, my office is open to you at any time."
Lin Xi modestly shook his head and said: "Uncle Gen thinks too highly of me, several of you here now are outstanding people, and I have many years of experience in TV station management, I am just a literati, and it is okay to shoot TV series, if you want me to make suggestions for the development of ATV, it will be too difficult for me." โ
"I know my own family affairs, ATV's foundation is too thin after all, and it is not enough for us to catch up on our own, Lin Sheng's suggestion of separating production and broadcasting has opened my eyes, if you all say that you don't understand the development of TV stations, then how many people in Hong Kong dare to say that they are knowledgeable in this aspect?"
Qiu Degen's words were not only a praising of Lin Xi, but also a blow to the senior executives of ATV present.
Not even a seventeen-year-old boy, are you guys embarrassed to call yourself elite?
Seeing the other people present bowing their heads one by one, Lin Xi immediately realized that he couldn't let Qiu Degen pull hatred for himself like this, and hurriedly opened his mouth to solve the siege and said: "I haven't succeeded once or twice by luck, ATV wants to go to the next level, and it really depends on everyone working together." But since Uncle Gen asked about this, I have an idea. โ
As soon as he heard that Lin Xi was finally willing to speak, not only did Qiu Degen show a satisfied expression, but even the other ATV executives present looked at him, curious about what Lin Xi would say.
"Uncle Gen mentioned just now that ATV's foundation is thin, so I want to ask everyone here, where is ATV's foundation?"
For this question, several people present had different answers in their hearts, but they all knew that Lin Xi did not ask them to answer this question, but to elicit what they wanted to say, so they all chose to remain silent.
"In terms of background, ATV's predecessor, Li, was the first TV station in Hong Kong; In terms of financial resources, this problem has been greatly improved since the Far Eastern Group became the owner...... What ATV lacks now is not others, but talents! Of course, I'm not talking about managerial talent, I'm talking about actors. Why wireless can be as strong as it is now,In my opinion, a very important reason is that they attach importance to the artist training class,You see that the popular Xiaosheng and Hua Dan of wireless now basically come out of there,And on the other hand, ATV,Although the artist training class is also doing,But the importance of Cheng dรน is far less than that of wireless,This is a big problemใ ATV is also a company in the final analysis, and for any company, talent reserve and training is an issue that cannot be ignored. โ
Qiu Degen's face was thoughtful, and he did not express his position immediately.
Xu Xiaoming had a big stomach of doubts in his heart, but because he made an exception some time ago to let Zhou Xingchi and Liang Chaowei go to the ATV training class to be auditors, if he opened his mouth at this time, he would inevitably fall into the hands of others, wondering if he was playing a double reed with Lin Xi.
Xu Xiaoming was silent, and finally someone couldn't help it.
"The development of wireless artist training courses is mainly because of Shaw Brothers, if the actor is good, he can make movies after a period of development in the TV station, the most obvious example is Zhou Yunfa, he is not going to make movies now? It's an incentive for a lot of people to sign up, and we don't have that incentive for that. โ
"If there was no before, it doesn't mean that there is no now, the main problem of the ATV artist training class is that there have been no decent talents before, so everyone thinks that there is no future here, but now there are such examples."
Lin Xi deliberately stopped when he said this, but Xu Xiaoming had already guessed his thoughts, and couldn't help but ask, "You mean Zhou Xingchi and Liang Chaowei?" โ
Lin Xi nodded, and then continued: "Although the two of them entered as auditors, now that they have signed a contract with ATV, they can actually be regarded as ATV's artists, and ATV uses them for publicity, and I won't have any opinions on my side." โ
Xu Xiaoming completely understood it at this time, Lin Xi should have wanted to take this opportunity to completely "regularize" the identities of Zhou Xingchi and Liang Chaowei, after all, it is not good for the auditors to say it.
But Xu Xiaoming always felt that Lin Xi's purpose was more than that, but Qiu Degen had never expressed his position, and it was inconvenient for him to say anything.
