Chapter 554: Chairman (II)

"Lin Sheng, it seems that there are really some people who don't want you to get this position!"

Huang Baiming grinned, he made his debut relatively early in the film industry, in the early eighties, Xinyi City fought with Jiahe and Shaw Brothers in the dark, Dragon and Tiger Martial Arts Fighting Arts, Club Blocking Doors, Theater Fires, etc., he has never seen any tricks and bad tricks in the same industry, a few days ago Lin Xiaozhi suddenly came to the door to cooperate with their Golden Princess, he was still a little puzzled, and when he saw Zheng Hanyi's small actions at this time, he suddenly understood everything, and he couldn't help but respect him more. His personal relationship with Lin Xiaozhi has always been good, so he didn't hide some of his previous calculations from himself, which led to the cooperation between Media Asia and Golden Princess, two of Hong Kong's largest film companies.

Lin Xiaozhi smiled and raised his wine glass slightly, his eyes glanced at the little superman Li Zekai again but did not reply, he was also waiting for the little superman to make a statement. This is obviously not an easy person to be satirized by many Hong Kong media in private, and the second son of the Li family, whose ability is far inferior to his father and brother, is obviously not an easy person, which is evident from the fact that after he repeatedly fought for the right to operate Cantonese television in Hong Kong, he immediately pulled out the concept of satellite television and played the Asian card, and at the same time kept privately publicizing the two wireless stations ATV and TVB, hoping to hand over the paid channels to satellite TV to operate, so as to enter the curve sooner or later to obtain the right to operate Cantonese television and even wait for the opportunity to acquire two old TV stations.

Out of fear of the Li family's wealth, although Superman made very attractive conditions, TVB has always had an unclear attitude and did not accept cooperation with satellite TV. ATV under his leadership also did not repeat the decision made by Lin Jianle in the previous life, and rejected Little Superman's 'cooperation' proposal.

Although the two have not dealt with each other much before, he has already learned the ability of this superhuman son, so he naturally doesn't believe that Li Zekai will not be able to see that it is impossible for them to get the position of the first chairman of the Radio and Television Association, and even if his father Li Jiacheng comes to today's party, it will only be five or five. But this second son of Li took the initiative to speak, if he said that he didn't care in his heart, he Lin Xiaozhi was the first to admit it.

Sure enough, not long after Zheng Hanyi's words fell, he quickly noticed a strange line of sight from the many lines of sight that fell on him, and after looking at it and looking at its owner, the two sides moved away from each other very tacitly. When he looked over, he found that Li Zekai's eyes had fallen on Shao Yifu, the TVB boss who was standing with the horse-faced Mr. Zeng Decheng. Lin Xiaozhi's heart froze, and after thinking for a while, he faintly guessed some of the other party's thoughts.

"Lin Sheng, do you have any thoughts about this radio and television association?"

Deng Guangrong leaned a little closer and asked, "Do you need my help?" ”

Lin Xiaozhi glanced at him in surprise, and immediately shook his head.

He understands what Deng Guangrong means, if Lin Xiaozhi is willing to compete for the position of chairman of the Radio and Television Association, it is not enough to rely on ATV's own voice, and he will definitely need other help. And Deng Guangrong happened to be old friends with Chen Ren, the director of Xincheng Radio, for many years, and the two had been chatting together for a long time, so he asked.

Like Hong Kong Television, there are only three radio stations in Hong Kong due to the restrictions imposed by the British government in Hong Kong, the oldest of which is the government-run Radio Hong Kong, followed by Hong Kong Commercial Radio, which was the first to commercialize, and Metro Radio, which was approved for establishment only two years ago.

This Metro Radio was also actively promoted by Li Jiacheng, and the Hong Kong government gave it a business license. However, because of the fear of the Li family, the Hong Kong government and the Li family have two restrictions: first, personnel can be appointed to serve as senior radio officers, but Hutchison Whampoa (Li Ka-shing was established in the name of Hutchison Whampoa) is not allowed to directly intervene in the management. Second, the shares cannot be controlled by more than one-third within three years, and the absolute controlling stake in the radio station cannot be owned within ten years. In addition to Hutchison Whampoa, Golden Harvest Films, New World Development, and American High Arts Broadcasting Co., Ltd. once owned a quarter of the shares of the radio station, but later Golden Harvest Films successively sold their shares to New World Development and left the market with Gao Yi and played soy sauce once.

Not to mention that Lin Xiaozhi is very skeptical that Chen Ren can replace Xincheng Radio, even if Xincheng Radio does not stand with Li Zekai, it does not mean that he is rare in that vote.

However, Deng Guangrong's kindness still made him grateful, and he thanked him before saying: "Ying Zhijie hasn't made a movie in the first half of this year, and Deng suffered a little loss in film investment in the first two years of his life, so he is more cautious now." I want to ask, have you considered allocating some resources to shoot a TV series? ”

"Filming a TV series?" Deng Guangrong was surprised, Lin Xiaozhi did not fight for the chairman of the Radio and Television Association, which already made him a little confused, because even he could see that if he could get the identity of the chairman of the Radio and Television Association, it would be of great benefit to the development of his own TV station. Later, if he asked a rhetorical question, it made him even more confused.

In the end, he still knew that Lin Xiaozhi would not be untargeted, and after hesitating for a moment, he shook his head and said: "I don't have Lin Sheng's talent and vision, the movies I have invested in in the past few years have made less money and lost more money, but I have won a lot of trophies, but I am a fart, and the company will not be able to open the pot with dozens of mouths." Last year, if it weren't for the fact that you made a few movies with the help of Media Asia to return to the cost, I would have considered closing the company and immigrating to enjoy Qingfu. As for going to a TV series, I really didn't think about it. How to shoot? Who did you sell it to? ”

Having said that, Deng Guangrong suddenly felt his head light up. Ying Zhijie has not developed well in the past few years, if he hadn't befriended Lin Xiaozhi as he said, maybe Ying Zhijie would have closed his doors last year and he was ready to emigrate. He is an actor, so he naturally knows that the profits of TV series are far less than those of movies, but the risks and difficulties are much less. His Ying Zhijie can't afford to make blockbusters with an investment of 350 million yuan, but millions or tens of millions of movies are not less, and what kind of TV series can't get this money. If the sales channel can be solved, maybe it is also a feasible way for Ying Zhijie to devote part of his energy to making TV series.

The more he thought about it, the more he felt that this way was feasible, and Deng Guangrong couldn't help but feel turbulent in his heart, staring at Lin Xiaozhi with blazing eyes, not only curious about what his sudden words meant, but also implying some expectations in it.

And Lin Xiaozhi really didn't disappoint him, smiled and lowered his voice and said: "Deng Sheng might as well give it a try, with the reform of ATV, we have more and more demand for TV dramas, and we will definitely not be able to shoot it on our own, so we will consider taking out at least 100 million yuan of funds every year for outsourcing, Deng Sheng and I are not outsiders, you Ying Zhijie can consider it." The filming of the TV series is not difficult, we can provide a few scripts at the beginning, and we can buy it out directly after you finish filming. Of course, you can also choose to sell only part of the rights to ATV and send people to promote TV series in Taiwan and overseas! ”

100 million doesn't seem like much, but it makes Deng Guangrong's heart pound. You must know that although the movie is profitable, not every investment can be profitable, Ying Zhijie and him belong to the kind of bad luck, met a talented Wong Kar-wai, but the rich literary and youthful disease in the bones of the king of glasses made him no matter how good the martial arts and kung fu superstars in the team were, he could only make alternative classic movies that niche fans applauded and popular fans did not buy. So that the company can have a profit of tens of millions in a year, and Deng Guangrong feels that he has made a lot of money this year.

He doesn't doubt that Lin Xiaozhi will cheat himself, ATV has recently started to simulcast two episodes of TV dramas in multiple time periods, although the reputation is growing and the audience is very happy, but the demand for TV drama resources has also more than doubled rapidly, and there is a demand for this. As long as ATV is willing to buy, Deng Guangrong, who is already cautious, thinks that it doesn't matter if he makes less money, as long as he has money to earn, it is enough.

At the moment, he was already very moved, although he didn't agree on the spot, he still replied: "Lin Shengrong, I'll think about it for a few days, after all, the shooting of TV series is still a little different from movies!" ”

In this regard, Lin Xiaozhi naturally nodded and agreed, and no longer urged.

didn't let him wait any longer, and sure enough, he saw this Li Ergongzi stand up again and speak: "Director Zheng has a good saying, with the development of the industry, it is imperative to establish a radio and television association to regulate the industry. Since the government is reluctant to meddle in the management, and the management of the association is left to the industry consciously, then I should also have the right to nominate and elect people, right? ”

Although the words were inquiring, there was an undeniable arrogance in his tone, but no one in the room showed any expression about it. Not to mention Li Zekai's family background, the mere fact that satellite TV is one of the four major TV stations in Hong Kong is enough. In the past few years, in order to prevent local Chinese-funded consortia from entering the TV industry, the British government in Hong Kong has set up a high barrier for this, that is, the applicant's capital needs to exceed 5 billion Hong Kong dollars before applying for the right to operate a TV license.

Although it does not mean that the operation and investment of every TV station has exceeded 5 billion Hong Kong dollars, TV stations in Hong Kong have really become a veritable 'capital game', an expensive toy that only the real rich and capital can play. This is also the reason why even though the ratings of satellite TV in Hong Kong are not as good as a fraction of that of ATV and TVB, it has caused the two old TV stations to have trouble sleeping, and even did not hesitate to join forces to suppress them.

Zheng Hanyi is obviously not the roundworm in Li Zekai's stomach, and he doesn't know what medicine is sold in the gourd of this second son of Li. But Li Zekai's question he couldn't help but answer, although he was worried that he would suddenly come out to stir up the situation, he still maintained the smile on his face, nodded and smiled very gracefully: "Satellite TV is also a member of the industry, Li Sheng naturally has this qualification." We do not interfere in the management of the Radio and Television Association, and it is all up to your own recommendation in the industry! ”

Even so, his eyes vaguely made eye contact with Lu An, president of Radio Television Hong Kong, when he spoke, and saw this bald man in his fifties pushing his glasses, and suddenly interjected: "The Radio and Television Association is being established, and at present, it is most necessary to have a person in the industry who is both prestigious and capable, so that the association can be built on the right track." I propose that Mr. Shao Yifu be the first president of the Radio and Television Association......"

Before he could say anything, he was interrupted, and the little superman Li Zekai glanced at him with a displeased face, but he didn't speak, obviously with a good temperament. However, Lu An suddenly interjected, but it also made the venue turn their heads again.

"Sixth uncle, well, it is indeed appropriate for him to be the first chairman of the Radio and Television Association!"

"The development history of Shao Yifu is almost the history of the entire Hong Kong radio and television development, he is indeed suitable!"

"Shao Yifu is indeed suitable, but the power of this Radio and Television Association is not small, the new boss of ATV is not necessarily convinced, he Lin Xiaozhi has been determined to defeat TVB to become the leader of Hong Kong's TV industry since the acquisition of ATV, and the recent reform has made such a big move, and the ratings are climbing to catch up with TVB!"

"If you want to talk about expectations, I would like him Lin Xiaozhi to be in charge. Just looking at ATV's recent reforms, his courage is more promising than TVB, and he has to take the lead, and he can't see the benefits of the entire industry! ”

Feeling the ever-changing eyes that fell on him, Lin Xiaozhi took a sip of wine and his face was still silent, but the afterglow fell on the little superman Li Zekai, waiting to see his reaction.

Li Ergongzi didn't let him wait longer, although he was disturbed by Lu An, the president of Radio Television Hong Kong, who suddenly came out, and his face was a little unhappy, but when many people were curious about whether he also had the heart to fight for his satellite TV for the position of chairman of the 'Radio and Television Association', they heard him say: "Mr. Lu's mention is good, if you want to say that there is anyone in Hong Kong who is the most proficient in the TV industry, it is obviously the sixth uncle." Therefore, I also mention the position of the first president of the Radio and Television Association, which is assumed by the sixth uncle! ”

Wow......

There was an uproar in the venue, and even Lin Xiaozhi couldn't help but squint his eyes.

He just guessed that the little superman Li Zekai must know that he and Satellite TV can't get the first chairman of the Radio and Television Association, so he is likely to use it to make a fuss, in exchange for more resource support after the establishment of the association, such as reaching some cooperation agreements with a free-to-air TV station to help him get the Cantonese program management rights he wants the most.

It's just that he guessed wrong here, because he knew that in 'history', this Li Ergongzi finally cooperated with ATV instead of TVB, so he thought that Li Zekai would choose himself to play the role without being shocking, but he didn't expect that he guessed wrong, Li Zekai actually chose to push Shao Yifu as the first chairman of the Radio and Television Association, and decisively kicked him.

There is a sixth uncle on the left and a sixth uncle on the right, Li Zekai gave Shao Yifu enough face, which made the old man look very happy, and nodded at him with a smile: "Thank you Lu Sheng, and thank you Mr. Li for your recommendation......

Radio and television are said to be the industry, but there are only 7 real radio stations and TV stations in Hong Kong, among which Radio Television Hong Kong and Satellite TV have all spoken out to support Shao Yifu, and his TVB is naturally impossible to give 'recommended votes' to others. With the union of these three 'accidents', in an instant, countless eyes in the venue fell on Lin Xiaozhi and ATV President Le Jin. Anyone can see it, unless he Lin Xiaozhi stands up and convinces Jiucang TV and Commercial Radio to vote for himself, he can barely get the balance of power with Shao Yifu. And when more people thought about the 'complex' shareholding structure of Metro Radio, they immediately understood that they ATV was afraid that it would be impossible for them to get this position.

However, some people still want to see him Lin Xiaozhi, who dared to bombard the Academy Awards at the live broadcast ceremony of the Academy Awards, holding several influential media giants in Hong Kong, what kind of reaction will Hong Kong's youngest super-rich man give at this time?

Is it scolding or ......

A series of eyes implying 'expectation' made Lin Xiaozhi finally have a 'reaction', and in the anticipation of the entire venue, I saw him raise his head slightly and rush to Le Jin, the president of ATV, who was standing not far away.

Then I heard the new president of ATV say loudly: "ATV recommends Mr. Shao Yifu to be the chairman of the Radio and Television Association!" ”

The words fell, and the audience was in an uproar!
