Chen Ping'an's arrogance is also divided, and he will definitely not face Shao Yifu.

It's not that he bullies the weak and is afraid of the hard, but that he has a good sense of Shao Yifu, at least Comrade Shao has not directly targeted him, and has done something worthy of his admiration.

It's like the classic saying: others laugh at me for being crazy, and I laugh at others for not being able to see through it.

He is not an arrogant person, but he just needs to show his arrogant side when facing the necessary people on necessary occasions.

His modesty and politeness confused Fang Yihua, but he didn't know that Shao Yifu invited him to morning tea this morning, and he was also quite puzzled.

ATV and wireless are the most direct competitors, the kind that belongs to you to life and death, but for the two giants Chen Ping'an and Shao Yifu, the relationship is not so tense.

Just like two years ago, when Qiu's control of ATV, the two TV stations showed their own talents and fought happily, but last year, a fire broke out at ATV's headquarters and burned down most of the TV equipment, and TVB lent the studio and equipment for ATV to maintain the program for free, which became a good story for a while.

The people below can fight to the death for the ratings, but the person at the helm will not tear his face lightly, in the final analysis, this is just business.

Shao Yifu invited Chen Ping'an because he was puzzled. He didn't quite understand what the purpose of Chen Ping'an's acquisition of ATV was to engage in a series of actions.

If you want to defeat wireless, with Chen Ping'an's current wealth, you can poach wireless, not only first-line stars, but also important ministers behind the scenes. Chen Ping'an just made a lot of money in the global stock market crash last year, and a lot of money was used to invest in high-quality listed companies.

On the other hand, on the wireless side, although the development momentum has been good in recent years. After the horror series of ATV in the early eighties, it is now the leader.

But if Chen Ping'an spends a lot of money to poach him, wireless will really not be able to resist. Just after a global stock market crash. It is impossible for wireless to double the remuneration of artists and staff, which will make it difficult for the TV station to operate. It is not possible to make a deficit at the end of the year.

But he doesn't care, because Chen Ping'an has money, and he has a lot of money to spare, and he is not afraid of losing money at all. If the wireless really collapses, ATV can slowly earn it back.

After Chen Ping'an acquired ATV, Shao Yifu was worried about Chen Ping'an's poaching, especially those leading Hua Dan and Xiaosheng in Taiwan. Their worries were not wrong, Chen Ping'an really did it. But the ones who poached were all second- and third-tier characters. Actors at this level, even if they develop well in the future, will not shake the foundation of wireless, and the star-making mechanism of wireless is relatively perfect, and second- and third-tier artists can be trained soon.

Fang Yihua is used to being strong, and his impression of Chen Ping'an is still stuck in the past, so he is very angry that Chen Ping'an attacked wireless. But Shao Yifu was different, he found something strange from this matter, especially from Fang Yihua's mouth. Chen Ping'an has contacted Wan Ziliang privately, and Wan Ziliang wants to change the contract of the head of the department, but he cannot restrict him from taking on ATV's TV series. Shao Yifu decided that it was necessary for him to meet his youngest opponent.

"In Hong Kong, there are many people who are interested in TV stations, but there are not many people who can run TV stations well. After you took over ATV, ATV has obviously changed, and I just want to meet the young people who are known as good at creating miracles. Shao Yifu said gently.

"Thank you Uncle Sixth for the compliment." Chen Ping'an smiled and expressed his gratitude, "But ATV still can't compete with wireless, which shows that Uncle Six is even more powerful." ”

Shao Yifu keenly grasped the word "current", and also tasted Chen Ping'an's ambition from it: "It's different. The development of wireless is relatively stable, although ATV has had a golden age. But after several changes, it was wasted. ”

He was telling the truth. Early 80s. ATV's brilliance is well known, a wireless self-cutting hit drama series forced by "The Grace of the Earth". A series of dramas such as "Martial Arts Emperor Flower", "Hero Huo Yuanjia", "Big Four Joys", "Traveling to Tiger Mountain Again", "Girl Cixi" and so on. All of them are double harvests of ratings and word-of-mouth.

At that time, the market share of the two companies was still four or six, but ATV was six, and wireless was only four.

It's a pity that just when ATV began to go to glory, the board of directors encountered a change of hands, and Qiu Degen was the third hand, which also led to ATV's all the way down.

"Not anymore."

The faint five words in Chen Ping'an's mouth showed his attitude, and also made Shao Yifu have to face up to the youngest opponent he had encountered in his life. He was idle about Chen Ping'an's words, because at the beginning of the establishment of Dark Horse International, he heard from Fang Yihua that Chen Ping'an proposed "film and television linkage".

Dark Horse International Film Company has already been on the right track, taking charge of the Hong Kong film industry, and then winning the TV station, and the cooperation of the two sides can truly realize the film and television linkage in Chen Ping'an's mouth.

But what exactly does he want to do?

Shao Yifu thought for a moment and said tentatively: "I heard that you had contact with Wan Ziliang some time ago. ”

"That's right. I wrote a script, and the protagonist in the play is very suitable for Wanzi to star. ”

"I'm afraid it's not good." Fang Yihua interjected, "Wan Ziliang is now a signed artist of our wireless, as the boss of ATV, you contact him in private, which is not quite in line with the rules, right?" ”

"Then, while I'm not in Hong Kong, I secretly contacted ATV's signed artist Chen Baixiang, and wanted to poach him and destroy our boutique variety show "Love Letter", which is in line with the rules?"

Fang Yihua was dumbfounded. Shao Yifu glanced at her, and Fang Yihua understood the meaning in his eyes, telling her not to speak.

"There will always be inconsiderate things for the people below, but Wan Ziliang is still a signed artist of wireless, and if he wants to take over the filming of film and television dramas, he needs to get the approval of the station." Shao Yifu said.

"I think, the most important thing is to look at his own wishes, how can there be a reason for a cow to press his head without drinking water, you say yes, Uncle Six?"

Shao Yifu smiled: "So, you must poach Wan Ziliang?" ”

Chen Ping'an smiled but didn't answer, and Shao Yifu continued: "I don't think you'll do this. ”

"Oh, why?"

"If you really wanted to poach Wan Ziliang, you would have done it a long time ago. But you didn't do that, the people who poached were all second- and third-tier actors, and the most famous should be called Zhou Haimei, who is not a first-line popular actress in wireless. ”

Sure enough, the ginger is still old and spicy!

Chen Ping'an nodded and admitted Shao Yifu's statement: "Sixth Uncle's eyes are like torches. But now is different from the past, if Wanzi is interested in joining ATV, I have no reason to push him out. ”

"I don't think he's going to pay liquidated damages for himself." Fang Yihua interjected again.

Chen Ping'an smiled contemptuously: "I lack talents in all aspects, but I am not short of money." The ancients could buy horse bones for a thousand dollars, so how could I be stingy with that mere liquidated damages? Besides, Wanzi is a thousand horses, not thousands of horses. ”

This is already very explicit, and it is only clear that he wants to buy out Wan Ziliang's contract.

In fact, wireless actors, if they only rely on the salary of filming TV series, they are very poor compared to their own fame. TVB's salary is very low, and actors can only earn more money by shooting commercials, attending events, and making movies.

With the liquidation of Shaw Brothers, wireless is far inferior to ATV under the control of Chen Ping'an in terms of film and television linkage. Every year, there are actors who are dissatisfied with wireless, for example, the current Huang Rihua, and the relationship with wireless is relatively stiff. If it weren't for the two-year contract, the liquidated damages would be too high, I'm afraid he would have jumped ship long ago.

These things are clear to the wireless executives, but the wireless star-making mechanism is complete, it doesn't matter if there is one or two less, the system's star-making mechanism will soon fill the gap. In addition, ATV is in decline, so many actors can only endure it first and wait for the right opportunity.

Shao Yifu knows very well that if Wan Ziliang turns his head to ATV, it will be equivalent to opening a door, and there will be more leaders who are dissatisfied with wireless and will try to jump to ATV one after another. At that time, once the atmosphere is formed, he can't stop it if he wants to.

Therefore, he will not allow this opening to be opened. "Tell me, what are your plans?"

"Plans? I don't understand what Uncle Six is saying. ”

"Don't understand?" Shao Yifu smiled again, but this time his smile was completely different from before, "If you want to poach people, you will poach them at the end of last year, why wait until now?" Tell me your terms, young man, and let me, old man, hear and see what you want to do. ”

Chen Ping'an pondered for a moment, took a sip of tea to moisten his throat, and said, "Uncle Sixth knows the recent changes in ATV and Dark Horse International, right?" ”

Shao Yifu was silent, and Fang Yihua answered: "You mean Zhang Guozhong's brokerage company?" ”

"That's right. All the artists under Dark Horse International and ATV are managed by the brokerage company, including the artists signed by the brokerage company itself, as long as the two parties negotiate the right conditions, they can accept various film and television advertising contracts according to their own wishes. In other words, if you have a crush on an actor, you can also invite him to shoot your TV series. ”

"We have actors on TVB, and we don't need to use actors from other companies."

"But I need to. For example, this book I wrote, ATV is preparing to shoot, and I think Wanzi is the most suitable actor in it. Although ATV also has very good actors who can play the leading role, it is still worse than Wanzi.

However, you don't allow your actors to shoot ATV's TV series, which will affect the classic Cheng dù of this TV series for me, and affect his income and fame for Wanzi, so I'm not happy, and he is not happy. Sixth uncle, what do you think will happen next? ”

"You're threatening us?" Fang Yihua regrets it now and regrets supporting Dark Horse International. Now that Chen Ping'an is bigger, he actually sings against them directly. "To be a man, you have to know Entu News, if it wasn't for Shaw Brothers, your dark horse international would be where it is today?"

"Hah!" Chen Ping'an seemed to hear the funniest thing in the world, "Manager Fang, first of all, I want to correct one thing, it was a cooperation at the beginning, and it was true that I used the Shaw Brothers cinema chain, but did you gain very little?" Secondly, during the cooperation, you announced the liquidation without saying a word, have you ever considered my feelings as a partner? Thanksgiving? Hehe, of course I know, but I also know that there is revenge! (To be continued) R655
