Chapter 667 HBS
As long as there is discussion, it is not a problem, at least Xicheng is confident that he can convince this self-made entrepreneur to achieve today's scale.
What is missing from OBS?
It's not capital, the hat king worth two billion dollars, will not be unable to maintain the operation of a TV station with only about 100 million US dollars, what he lacks is the peripheral industry of the TV station, film and television dramas, variety shows, music, and a series of things to attract advertisers.
In the first half of 2008, OBS's advertising revenue was less than 10 billion won, and the loss amounted to more than 3 billion yuan, and in the second half of the year, it was even worse, according to Kim Doo-hwan's assessment, it may be nearly 5 billion.
A loss of 10 billion a year is something that no one can afford.
What's more, the competition in the TV station is also very fierce, there are three major TV stations in the front, and then there are a number of new TV stations blowing up the bridge, at the beginning of the year someone bid 150 billion won, now it can sell 120 billion won, and it may even be less than 100 billion next year.
KBS's 90 billion loss made Bai Shenghe feel desperate, he is a private entrepreneur, he can't compare to the government TV, he can't afford to lose.
The opportunity is in front of him, and Xicheng, who has a large amount of money in his hands, will naturally not hesitate.
On December 18, a few days before the Hades Christmas Entertainment Awards, hades Entertainment, Inc. announced the successful acquisition of OBS and the renaming of OBS Television, which stands for Hades BroadcastingSystem.
Hee Cheng paid a price of 100 billion won and took 90 percent of HBS's equity.
In addition, Bai Shenghe still controls 5% of the shares of China TV Station, while the remaining shares are scattered in the hands of other companies, and the third shareholder is South Korea's SidusHQ, which is South Korea's largest entertainment agency company.
Since it is a whole purchase, it is relatively easy to hand over.
However, during the transition period, Zhou Zhehuan, the former director of the TV station, has been appointed to be in charge of the operation of the TV station. There weren't too many changes in the main management, and Hades just took over some of the financial stuff.
Of course, the current immobility does not mean that Xi Cheng is satisfied with the current situation of HBS, he is just giving the original HBS team a chance to show their way, and the litmus test is the upcoming Christmas Entertainment Awards.
The HBS Christmas Entertainment Awards, which are currently in preparation, are currently divided into 48 awards, mainly for TV dramas, movies, and singers.
In addition to the regular awards, the most eye-catching awards are the Screenplay Award, the TV Script Award and the Album Award. These three awards are not the biggest awards, but they are definitely the most eye-popping.
Because once he wins this award, it means that Hades will invest in the script and album next year, and the recipients will be able to get a huge profit with almost no penny. You know, hades have always had a habit of dividing only 30% of the shares.
In addition to the trophies, Christmas gifts are also attracting attention, and a spokesperson for Hades said. As long as the artists who receive the invitation letter come to the show, they will have the opportunity to participate in the lottery, and the prizes are mainly family travel or artist training from well-known foreign institutions.
All the planning has been done, and all kinds of reserves are ready to go. Now all the HBS team needs to do is get the first awards ceremony right.
In order to satisfy the new boss, the OBS people who used to be idle and lazy all shook their spirits, and almost didn't treat the company as if they were at home.
Five or six days is too little time for them. If it weren't for the fact that the preparations for the award ceremony had been almost completed, it would have been impossible to come up with a satisfactory result.
On Christmas Day, the Hades Awards, which have been hyped for a whole year, finally kicked off in Jamsil, South Korea. Of course, due to the establishment of HBS, the award ceremony was naturally renamed the HBS Christmas Entertainment Awards.
The meeting was attended by people from all walks of life in the Korean entertainment industry, from film and television dramas to dramas, stage plays, musicals, short-screen plays, reversal dramas, from well-known variety shows of the three major TV stations to unknown programs, and even some small TV variety shows that people can't name, of course, there is also a collection of all kinds of singers.
Whether it is a popular first-line artist, or an ordinary artist who is not popular, or even some veterans who have long since quit the entertainment industry, they all came over.
It's not just the invitation from HADES that plays a role, but also the three major TV stations that are also promoting the event.
The Korean entertainment industry has become like a pool of stagnant water, and under the economic crisis, fewer and fewer people are willing to spend money to go to the cinema or buy albums, and they don't even have the heart to watch TV dramas at home.
According to the estimates of the people concerned, even if you do not add the investment in the future such as the best screenplay. Hades directly took out more than 20 billion yuan to hold this grand event, and 30,000 people were free of charge.
Hee Sung, like an ordinary artist, held his female companion and walked on the red carpet in the flickering of the spotlights, taking pictures and being interviewed.
"According to everyone's understanding, your company bought HBS and prepared to hold this event, does it mean that S&M and HS artists are more likely to get awards, and what do you think of the fairness of the awards ceremony?"
It's a very sharp question, and it's not polite at all, but it's something that many people think about.
Everyone knows the relationship between hades, SM, HS, and the newly established HBS, and it is not too much to say that they wear a pair of pants, after all, they are their own children, how can they not be biased.
What everyone is concerned about is whether the hades system can pay attention to a little bit of eating, and if you eat meat yourself, can you leave a mouthful of soup for everyone to drink.
The heads of several companies did not express their positions, and now that Xicheng is involved, this question will go directly to him.
"I believe that the HBS Awards is a fair awards ceremony and will treat any award fairly," Hee said he could have asked perfunctory, but now he realized that if he didn't answer it, no one would dare to answer it.
The organizer HBS is a man with his tail between his legs, S&M will inevitably be in a good mood, and Yuna, the head of HS, will not make a conclusion for Hee Sung, and Hades does not bother to respond to any questions from the media at all.
At this time, Zhou Zhehuan, the president of HBS, who was watching not far away, turned white and hurriedly asked the assistant next to him: "What, I heard it right, right?" ”
"It seems that it is indeed to be fair...... the assistant's face is not good-looking, so he can only reply stubbornly: "But whether this is the truth or the official's answer, I can't judge." ”
Xi became a test for the HBS team, and he had full authority to let go of the award ceremony, and he also forbade the people around him to interfere, so Zhou Zhehuan could only figure it out by himself, and now when he heard Xi Cheng say this, he suddenly fell into a tangle.
"Does that mean S&M and HS artists won't get too many awards?" The reporter, who had no hope, didn't expect Hee Sung to answer, and was overjoyed, and asked the next question without much thought.
"Why don't S&M and HS artists get so many awards?" Hee Sung frowned and said disapprovingly: "Since it is fair, it naturally includes fairness to S&M and HS artists, as long as they deserve it, they will naturally not give it." ”
The reporter in charge of the interview was dumbfounded, and President Zhou Zhehuan's face turned black directly.
It's not good to give too much, and it doesn't seem good not to give more, doesn't this Nima still make people live?
At this time, he seemed to be aware of Hee Sung's impatience, and the reporter hurriedly changed a seemingly safe topic, "Xi Cheng Xi must be in a good mood now, it's really enviable, there are such beautiful beauties on the left and right." ”
Hee Cheng sweated heavily, glanced at Lin Yuna and Park Min Young, who were holding their arms left and right, and couldn't wait to kick the guy directly, your eyes think I'm enjoying it, I'm in dire straits, okay.
Who is Lin Yun'er his?
Whenever Park Min Young's delicate little boobs rubbed against her arm, or her eyes couldn't help but glance at the white breasts, Lin Xiaoyun would smile and twist Hee Sung's arm.
It must be all green......
Lin Yuna still takes the youthful route, while Park Min Young is wearing a low-cut and backless white evening dress today, and she is even more pure and enchanting when she is already beautiful and smiling, as long as she is a man, she will be crazy about it.
"Uh......" In front of everyone's eyes, especially the attention of the two beauties on the left and the right, Xicheng stiffened his head and said with a smile: "You don't know this, I brought five beautiful sisters with me at the Qinglong Film Festival, and I brought six beautiful sisters at the MKMF Music Festival, and I brought six of them very beautiful, and this time it was only two ......."
The crowd despised him together.
Since this pure baby has become a regular guest of the birth of the family, the festival has fallen to the ground.
However, this kind of funny answer with a hippie smile is really safe, at least Lin Xiaoyun is not pinching him.
"Do you have any ideas for next year's Grammys?"
This is another very painful question, say yes, it's not good, say no, Xicheng also feels hypocritical.
In any case, even if Hee Sung is lying in South Korea with peace of mind, he always has the ambition to win the Grammy, who in the music circle will not have it, even if he says that he does not have it, it is duplicity.
"There is always a time when gold shines, and if the Grammys don't nominate me again, I won't go to the United States next year," Hee-sung pretended to be serious, but he was still talking.
There is a bird for the nomination, and he won three nominations in 08, and there will be no less in 09, and he is very likely to win awards, after all, Hee-sung's songs must be of quality and quality, and they must be sold to sales, and damn the appetite for the Grammy judges, after all, his songs are mostly billboard bigwigs in otaku memory.
The reporter felt that Hee Sung had become bad, his speech was much smoother, and there seemed to be a lot of loopholes that could be hyped, but if he thought about it carefully, there was actually no real content. (To be continued......)
