Strictly speaking, the relationship between Chen Ping'an and Fang Yihua is very complicated and cannot be summed up in simple grievances. To be precise, it is difficult to sort out the entanglement of grievances.

At the beginning, Golden Harvest did not give the Christmas schedule, Chen Ping'an visited Shaw Brothers and persuaded Fang Yihua with his three-inch tongue, which led to the cooperation between Dark Horse International and Shaw Brothers.

Cooperation is beneficial to both parties, and it is with the help of Shaw Brothers' cinema chain that Chen Ping'an has brought his films to the market, launched his own brand, and accumulated the most original funds.

And Shaw Brothers is also making a lot of money. Box office dividends are the majority, and side businesses such as drinks and snacks in the theater seem to be ordinary, but the profits are not low. Chen Ping'an has provided a number of scripts, and there is no shortage of TV scripts that later became the annual ratings champion, which not only helped wireless overwhelm ATV, but also helped Fang Yihua gain a firm foothold in wireless.

At that time, the two sides were in the honeymoon period, but Dark Horse International was in a weak state. Later, Chen Ping'an "gambled" on "The Love of People and Ghosts", became rich overnight, and in turn acquired Shaw Brothers Cinemas, which changed his previous weakness and aroused Fang Yihua's jealousy.

Suddenly seeing that he was inferior to himself before, now suddenly he has become stronger than himself, and few people can see it as an equal.

So after Fang Yihua and Shao Yifu discussed, they quietly announced the liquidation of Shaw Brothers, which made the premiere of "Dao Ma Dan" filmed by Dark Horse International almost unfinished, and the release became a problem.

The relationship between the two sides has also changed since this incident.

Fang Yihua was ready to turn her face with Dark Horse International at that time, but she didn't expect Chen Ping'an to show weakness and take the initiative to repair the relationship, this attitude and results satisfied her. It wasn't until it was rumored that Chen Ping'an planned to acquire ATV that she suddenly woke up to the so-called weakness and the so-called repair of the relationship. It's just that Chen Ping'an reused wireless to suppress ATV!

Fang Yihua is such a strong woman, knowing that she is being used as a gun, it is strange that she can feel comfortable!

Contradictions began to escalate. Chen Ping'an no longer hides it, with the help of ATV's platform. and wireless and Fang Yihua started a new round of competition.

So far in this round of competition, Chen Ping'an has not lost.

"Do you know why I didn't dig up your boss Hua Dan Xiaosheng at the end of last year? That's because I still think about the love of the year, in your words, it is a thankful retribution. But you didn't calculate me less, and I said that revenge is also my principle, so if you still make me unhappy, I will make you even more unhappy. ”

"Rude!"

Chen Ping'an glared at Fang Yihua: "Is there anything more rude, do you want to hear it?" I'm not afraid to burn money because ATV is mine alone. How much money is burned now, it will be transferred back in the future; But wireless, Uncle Six, you are only a major shareholder, do you dare to burn money with me? If you can't miss me, believe it or not, I can hollow out at least half of the most important team of the wireless? ”

The so-called burning of money is to poach and retain people with high salaries.

Chen Ping'an pinched it very accurately, pinching Shao Yifu's weakness.

ATV is completely his, and he dares to raise the salaries of the actors and staff he likes, twice as much, and triple as if twice as much. But Shao Yifu couldn't do that. If it is to prevent Chen Ping'an from digging into the wall and greatly increase the salary of actors' salaries and staff, it will definitely not be easy for the board of directors. If he doesn't get it, he is at risk of being ousted as chairman of the board!

There have been such cases in later generations.

It was in 2007 that Fei Daoyi, the former managing director of TVB, known as "Shao Yifu's godson", and Ho Dingjun joined ATV as chief executive officer and chief operating officer.

Not only that, Fei Daoyi and He Dingjun also successfully invited Chen Huiguang, the former assistant general manager of Wireless, and Chen Guanming, assistant director of the resources department of Wireless, to serve as the commander-in-chief of the poaching operation.

At that time, ATV's poaching list not only included Ouyang Zhenhua, Luo Jialiang, Zhang Jiahui, Xuan Xuan, Guo Keying, Chen Huishan, Cai Shaofen and other front-line front-line officials, but also He Liquan, Zeng Xingming, Wang Qi, Kuang Yesheng and other behind-the-scenes officials.

At that time, the wireless board of directors was scared into a cold sweat and endured huge public opinion pressure, but in the end, ATV's financial resources were not enough. The matter was closed and became a false alarm.

But Chen Ping'an's financial resources are quite "economic". He didn't even have to sell his stocks or real estate, only that the bank was willing to give him a loan. Sometimes good local tyrants are "proud". The lethality is quite amazing!

Fang Yihua's face changed greatly, Chen Ping'an really wanted to do this, she really couldn't think of any way to deal with it. At this time, she could only turn her attention to Shao Yifu, looking forward to this man who was full of legendary life to resolve it.

Shao Yifu's expression was as usual, and he only said one sentence: "You are not a person who kills them all." ”

"Uncle Sixth really understands me, I am a very particular person, and I always leave a chance for others before doing things."

"Wan Ziliang changed the contract of the head of the department, and I agreed with him to take over the filming of ATV's TV series."

"Not enough."

This is not what Chen Ping'an wants, what he wants is that Wireless also sets up a brokerage company, just like the dark horse international brokerage company run by Zhang Guozhong, whose actors can choose to take over the filming independently. To put it bluntly, it is to break the status quo of self-cherishing wireless brooms.

Shao Yifu obviously would not agree to this request. The stars under TVB, both in terms of quantity and quality, are leaders in the entertainment industry, and the ratings of TVB are generally higher than ATV.

Chen Ping'an didn't expect Shao Yifu to agree now, he just pointed out the matter first, so that Shao Yifu could be prepared. Even if you want to force wireless compliance, you have to make ATV bigger.

This request is a bit excessive, but the veteran Shao Yifu found something from it: "It seems that you don't plan to let ATV and wireless fight to the death." Could it be that the request you just made is your ultimate goal? ”

"The general trend of the world, together for a long time, must be divided, and for a long time, such a law must be reasonable. There are two wireless ATVs, and one has been dominant for a long time, which is not a good thing. Only by forming healthy competition and comparing with each other can we stimulate the maximum potential and ensure the long-term success of Hong Kong TV stations. If you monopolize it for too long, there will always be drawbacks, and ...... Sixth uncle, have you forgotten ninety-seven? ”

Ninety-seven returns, Hong Kong TV stations do not have to worry about the impact from mainland TV stations, but they always try to enter the mainland to expand their influence and profits, right?

As a person who has come over, this is Chen Ping'an's biggest advantage. He is very aware of the fact that Hong Kong artists have gone north to the mainland to make money, which has become the mainstream at that time, and wireless cannot stop it at all. In that case, why not change sooner rather than later to fit the landscape of the future?

The best TV people, coupled with the most suitable excellent actors, can produce the most sophisticated TV series. Chen Ping'an, who came from later generations, knows very well where the future opponent will come from, if he does not break the wireless broom self-cherishing and self-contained, Hong Kong TV dramas can only go step by step to the abyss of decline, and finally the popular Hong Kong dramas are replaced by Korean dramas, Japanese dramas, and Taiwanese dramas.

I can't say these things to Shao Yifu, but some things can be explained simply, and with Shao Yifu's wisdom, he will understand some of them.

Leaving Lianxiang Building, Chen Ping'an did not forget to throw another thousand yuan to the guy who led the way.

Shao Yifu, who was standing by the window and saw this move, said to Fang Yihua: "From his style of acting today, can you see anything?" ”

Fang Yihua hesitated slightly: "Sixth uncle, do you want to say that he is a person of temperament, and people respect him for a foot, and he respects people, right?" ”

"You're right." Shao Yifu nodded, "His words today are not a threat, if he really spends a lot of money to poach people, we can't resist it, and wireless will inevitably experience some turmoil." ”

"Maybe it's because he doesn't want to spend that much money."

"He's a madman, he's gambling in his bones, and you don't know how many times he's gambled in the past few years, and will he care about this time? He doesn't need to poach too much, as long as he poachs the dozen or so most important people in front of and behind the scenes and their teams, we are afraid that we will be greatly injured. ”

"Then why didn't he do it?"

"That's what I find strange as well. It seems that he just wants us to change...... Change? ”

Shao Yifu seemed to think of something, and the whole person froze......

Chen Ping'an had already driven away from Lianxiang Building and rushed to the Dark Horse Film and Television Base in Tseung Kwan O.

When he chatted with Shi Nansheng about "The Voice of Hong Kong" yesterday, he also learned about the recent development of ATV, and now he is going to Zhang Yijia to learn more about the recent situation of Dark Horse International, as well as the rehearsal plan for the second half of the year, and the crew currently being filmed.

In addition, he had another important thing, he needed to find an assistant director for the Christmas film.

Zhang Yijia had been waiting for him for a long time, and after the two met and chatted, he found that Zhang Yijia, like Shi Nansheng, was full of enthusiasm for the company's movies to dominate the prime time.

Just like "Dao Ma Dan" failed to win the box office championship of the Chinese New Year stalls back then, Shi Nansheng was worried about it, Zhang Yijia felt sorry for the first round of box office battles this summer. "A Chinese Ghost Story 2" lost to "Chicken and Duck" at the box office in Hong Kong, and the most embarrassing thing for her is that she is also the heroine of "Chicken and Duck".

At that time, Hong Jinbao found her and asked her to play the heroine. She has a very good relationship with Hung Jinbao, and she can't refuse, and she didn't expect this movie that reflects Hong Kong citizens to be able to achieve such a high box office.

"Boss, you won't blame me, will you?"

"Sister Aijia, are you joking? I'm just worried that you'll be poached by Brother Sanmao. ”

"How come, will they make me the general manager?" Zhang Yijia grinned, feeling a lot more relaxed.

Knowing that the company is currently filming several movies, as well as movies that have been scheduled to start shooting, looking at the clear and clear schedule, Chen Ping'an did not have any questions about me, but mentioned a person: "Sister Ai Jia, Du Qifeng didn't arrange any work in the second half of the year, right?" ”

This year's Chinese New Year, "Eight Star Annunciation" produced by Dark Horse International was directed by Du Qifeng. However, he is a director, and Cheng Xiaodong is somewhat similar, mainly producers Huang Baiming or Xu Ke have big ideas, and their directors have little power.

Therefore, the success of "Eight Star Annunciation" did not make him generous, and there was no film directed by him in the second half of the year.

"You're looking for him?"

"Yes, I need him as an assistant director for my Christmas movie." (To be continued) R655
