was well entertained by Zhou Yemang for one night, and early in the morning of the second day, when Zhang Shaolin returned to the hotel with his family, it happened that Zhou Taiyan, the deputy director of the team, came to him.

"Director Zhang, I heard that you went out yesterday afternoon, I didn't hear that you still have acquaintances here before I came to Hong Kong!"

Zhou Taiyan should be one of the more moderate and middle-of-the-road style in this CCTV leadership team, Zhang Shaolin heard before he came, CCTV actually has many leaders who voted against whether to cooperate with ATV in depth.

On the one hand, before Lin Xiaozhi's bloodbath of ATV's management, this TV station was an out-and-out '**** pro-people' in its position, and it had produced and reported a lot of content that made the mainland very popular. Moreover, the storm that went left to right a few years ago or toppled and shattered and rebuilt was blown so hard that even the sky almost collapsed, not to mention that the high-level CCTV with the highest political sensitivity would be nervous, because no one in the mainland now knows whether such a scene will happen again in the future, after all, even the former red empire of the Soviet Union has collapsed.

If you want to talk about Zhou Taiyan, he is not the one in this leadership team who advocates learning from the office concept of overseas TV stations and reforming them, but he is better than his good popularity on weekdays, so when no one can convince anyone who opposes and agrees, everyone sees that it is not a way to make such a fuss, so they simply take the opportunity of coming to Hong Kong to discuss the co-production of a TV series with ATV, and let him, a centrist, lead a team to Hong Kong to see the situation.

Zhang Shaolin knew that Zhou Taiyan was very talkative, but he still showed due respect in front of the leader, and replied with some embarrassment: "Originally, I saw an acquaintance in the list of comrades who went to Hong Kong who could be contacted and helped by the station, so I wanted to ask him to be a guide to take me around Hong Kong." I didn't want to see me for too long, so he took me to the accommodation and didn't come back in the evening! ”

"It's Zhou Yemang, I've heard of him. Among the people who came over from Shanghai half a year ago, he was the best! ”

Zhou Taiyan really didn't dig deeper, after all, there was no arrangement on the first day of their arrival in Hong Kong, and yesterday many people took advantage of their leisure time before the study exchange to go out to experience the bustling metropolis under another system.

Although he doesn't know how Hong Kong has taken a fancy to Zhang Shaolin, a director who has just emerged in China, but Zhou Taiyan has also seen his "Yang Jiajiang", although it was a shift change in the middle to take over the filming of "Yang Jiajiang" by others, but he also has to admit that Zhang Shaolin's subsequent "Yang Jiajiang" series was filmed very exciting, otherwise it would be impossible for a local station like Shanxi's TV station to overshadow CCTV's TV series at the same time when the series was released.

Speaking of Zhou Yemang, Zhou Taiyan was also amazed. He knew that Zhou Yemang was because there was Zhou Yemang's name in the list of actors who had submitted a proposal to appear in "Water Margin" submitted by ATV earlier, and he indicated that he hoped to let him play the role of "leopard head" Lin Chong.

Because he is a mainland actor, out of curiosity, Zhou Taiyan asked people to inquire before going to Hong Kong, only to know that this Shanghainese artist could be said to be difficult to receive plays when he was in the mainland before, not that his acting skills were very poor, because there are few people who are not acting experts in drama. Instead, the friend who helped him inquire directly told him that Zhou Yemang's appearance was too handsome, and he couldn't be a soldier or a tough guy and couldn't play a local role, but he didn't expect that after he went to Hong Kong as a member of the Shanghai exchange group, he relied on his excellent appearance to get out here.

However, he didn't care too much about Zhou Yemang, although he had ATV's recommendation, if Zhou Yemang couldn't pass the test during the filming audition, it was still unknown who would play this role when "Water Margin" was launched, and from his own position, he also hoped that Zhou Yemang could be qualified for this role, after all, he was also a mainland actor.

Chatting and chatting, he also looked at Zhang Shaolin with some regret, "Last night ATV held a banquet over there, I originally wanted to take you over, but you couldn't leave early, but I missed an opportunity!" ATV President Le Jin also came! ”

Zhang Shaolin didn't know if this was a polite remark, but he was still very moved in his heart. He shook his head, also a little regretful: "There should be a chance in the future!" ”

Zhou Taiyan nodded, if the two co-produced "Water Margin" is successfully launched, there will definitely be opportunities in the future.

At the moment, he also restrained the regret on his face, but said to him with some gossip: "It's strange, it's really strange, Hong Kong people drink red wine and champagne, but they don't drink white wine." I was looking for a relationship before, and I got a few bottles of 30-year-old wine from Moutai Distillery, and I was going to bring them to give away! ”

He didn't know that there were not many people who drank baijiu in Hong Kong, and most of the people who drank it were over forty or fifty years old.

The most cited type of liquor in Hong Kong is undoubtedly beer, followed by champagne, red wine and whisky, and the annual sales volume of liquor barely accounts for 20% of the total sales of liquor in Hong Kong, of which 70% comes from Taiwan and Japan.

Since the fifties and sixties when the mainland was forced to repay its debts due to natural disasters and the Soviet Union troops approaching the border, and was forced to export grain crops to the Soviet Union to repay the loans, resulting in a food shortage, it began to try to turn pure grain wine into blended wine.

In fact, blended wine has been around for a long time, and all countries have it. It's just that many overseas countries are not only strict but also strict in the supervision of blended liquor, and only use it as a liquor process to adjust the taste, and it is strictly forbidden to use various additives, except for a few countries such as China.

I have to say that in order to simulate the perfect taste of pure grain wine, the Chinese put all their wisdom and ingenuity into it, tried countless additives, relying on cheap edible alcohol plus various spices and additives, through the acquired chemical reaction, it really perfectly simulated the light smell and taste Some even surpass the blended wine of pure grain aging, but in addition to taste, it is harmful to the human body.

Because many liquor manufacturers are large taxpayers in the mainland, governments at all levels and food and drug regulatory agencies have turned a blind eye to whether they comply with the regulations for blending liquor brewing that are full of loopholes formulated by the state.

There have been overseas liquor industry research institutions have accused the mainland blended liquor used in a variety of additives not only to kill sperm but also to produce a great load on the human liver, the safety is comparable to the inferior potato and corn blended liquor made by the American black wine mill during the prohibition period, long-term drinking can easily lead to insufficient sperm / sub activity, and in severe cases, it may even cause sudden death due to short-term heart paralysis.

Although these reports are isolated from the mainland and mainland consumers do not see them at all, the baijiu produced in Chinese mainland has been by no means praised overseas and even in Hong Kong since it began to be fully blended. Even Moutai National Liquor, which has been mythologized in the mainland, dares to sell it on the counter of a store in Hong Kong, and if it is not pure grain wine, the Consumer Supervision Committee alone may cause some kind of dispute.

Coupled with the Westernization education after years of British occupation, baijiu has become more and more disregarded in Hong Kong, and when the second and third generations born after the war grow up, perhaps baijiu will become a history in Hong Kong, especially the baijiu produced in the mainland.

Chinese people really have less due respect for the health of others! As everyone knows, if you hurt me, I will also cheat you, and in the end, I will hurt myself!

Zhou Taiyan came to him to discuss the matter of waiting for the meeting.

According to ATV's arrangement, they will be accompanied by the staff to visit ATV on the first day, including not only news production, weather forecasting, comprehensive program production and other programs will be open to CCTV, in addition to vocal music, makeup, screenwriting, artist training and film data preservation and other behind-the-scenes will also be fully open to CCTV visitors, many of which will be completed in the new ATV Building in the Twin Towers of Media Asia.

At the beginning of the purchase, one of the twin buildings of Media Asia was built, but it was not renovated, and after the decoration, Lin Xiaozhi used it as the headquarters of Media Asia Film Group. The other building, which had not yet been capped at that time, was the new headquarters he reserved for ATV.

As the headquarters of a TV station, it is naturally not just a random commercial office building. After nearly a year of foundation reinforcement and partial internal structure redesign, the other building that had not yet been capped at the time of purchase was basically completed at the end of last year with the efforts of the highly efficient Lixin Group's construction team, for which Lin Xiaozhi had to throw in more than 100 million yuan in renovation costs, almost catching up with one-third of the total price of the two twin buildings he originally purchased.

At present, ATV has begun to gradually transfer its office and production equipment to the new headquarters, which is not only closer to Media Asia Film Group, but also more convenient for the cooperation between the two companies under the same boss.

Zhang Shaolin, as the director of the co-produced TV series "Water Margin" designated by Hong Kong, must be indispensable during the whole visit. Because the two sides will discuss the co-production during the visit, although most of Zhou Taiyan can make decisions, he obviously has to rely on Zhang Shaolin more when it comes to the filming of the TV series, which is why he came early in the morning to check on whether Zhang Shaolin came back or not.

Breakfast was all over in the hotel, and it wasn't long after nine o'clock in the morning. The phone from ATV's side came, and they sent a sightseeing bus that was newly bought in the second half of last year to carry this group of nearly 40 CCTV staff members and lead them to visit ATV's headquarters.

"This is the broadcasting road, located in the Kowloon Tong area in the north of Hong Kong's Kowloon City District, because in the past there were only three television stations and two radio stations in Hong Kong, and the geographical location of this place is located on a small hill, so Hong Kong people are used to calling it 'Wutai Mountain'."

Responsible for explaining to the visiting CCTV staff in the car is also an exchange person from the mainland, her name is Lu Qi, originally an ordinary staff member of Shenzhen TV Station, she seems to be not very old and should only be in her early twenties, but I don't know if it is related to the family or the ability is particularly outstanding, and she is being trained by Shenzhen TV as a future column anchor. Lu Qi has been coming to ATV for almost two months to communicate, and she has been following some programs, according to the previous training management of the past two companies, she only needs to spend another month, and she should be able to get the opportunity to host alone in some midnight programs.

Because she came from the mainland, she knew both Cantonese and Mandarin, and she also knew something about ATV, ATV transferred Lu Qi over to temporarily help receive the visiting CCTV exchange personnel after seeking her consent.

After the sightseeing bus got on the radio road, it drove very slowly, because not only did it gather all the TV and radio media in Hong Kong, but there were also many high-end residential areas nearby.

Fortunately, the broadcast road was not too long, and the car soon arrived at the ATV Building, which was built very early, but now it can be ranked among the top in the whole of Asia.

Xu was informed by the phone call from the doorman, and not long after Zhou Taiyan and others arrived at ATV and got off the car in the hospital, they saw the president of ATV, who had a relationship with each other last night, Le Jin and walked out.

"Director Zhou, welcome to visit our ATV!"

Le Jin walked up first, smiled and shook hands with Zhou Taiyan, and did not show a trace of Hong Kong arrogance. He may not be the best TV manager, but he is a very conscientious manager, knowing that his boss, Lin Hsiao-chi, has been betting on a return since years ago, trying to establish a close and friendly relationship with the mainland's top brass before then. Therefore, since he was corrected by Lin Xiaozhi last year, he has always implemented Lin Xiaozhi's set in the strategy of cooperation with the mainland, and he has taken the blame for him, and has been scolded by many Hong Kong audiences who are accustomed to watching ATV's various bombardments of the mainland.

"Mr. Le is polite, it's time for us to disturb!"

ATV is so face-saving, and Zhou Taiyan is also very happy. Because ATV had already hosted a banquet for the visiting CCTV team leaders last night, this time they introduced each other, and the focus was on introducing Zhang Shaolin, who was designated in Hong Kong and wanted to shoot "Water Margin".

After only a slight delay, Lejin took over Lu Qi's previous work and will personally lead a team of people to visit ATV!
