Chapter 184: Plagiarism?
Compared with wireless, whether it is in the company's heritage, resource reserves, or brand reputation, etc., it is undoubtedly better than wireless, but so many advantages cannot stop ATV from launching programs and TV series that are popular with the audience, so that the audience of wireless has lost a lot, not only the prime time, but also other periods have been greatly affected, and today's wireless can be said to be forced to the edge of the cliff, if you don't fight back, the glory of wireless in the past few decades will really become yesterday's yellow flower.
In the evening from Monday to Friday, Shao Yifu is not too worried, in the TV drama production team, especially human resources, wireless will definitely not be parallax than Asia, in order to cope with the "Huanzhu Gege" file that will take over "I Have a Date with a Zombie", wireless has decided to remake Gu Long's classic novel "Peerless Double Pride", this drama will not only be played by Liang Chaowei, the chief student of TVB, as the leading actor, but also brings together many well-known actors familiar to the audience, including Guan Lijie, Wu Junru, Miao Qiaowei, Qi Miaozhen, etc., Just wait for Liang Chaowei to finish filming the movie "Top Secret Mission" before it can be started. It can be seen that TVB has great expectations for this drama.
What really made Shao Yifu almost helpless was the prime time of the two days on the weekend, the previous "The Voice of Asia" and the current "If You Are the Truth, Do Not Disturb" overwhelmed the production team of TVB's variety shows, staring dryly but there was nothing to do, and he was also helpless.
Fang Yihua saw Shao Yifu's frowns tightly and thinking hard about what to do, he hesitated for a while, as if he had finally made up his mind, and said: "Judging from the current situation, life entertainment programs such as marriage and blind date will gradually become popular, and we can do a similar program, as long as we make a slight change in the name and rules of the program." I believe that with the image and reputation established by so many wireless connections, the ratings should not be much worse than "If You Are Honest, Do Not Disturb", and it may even surpass the genuine version. ”
"You mean a pirated version of Do Not Disturb?" Shao Yifu's brows did not relax, which showed that he was a little resistant to Fang Yihua's proposal. In fact, Fang Yihua had thought about this proposal in the morning, but he just asked him to do this kind of naked and undisguised piracy, and he felt that he couldn't afford to lose this person.
is different from ordinary entertainment variety shows, marriage and blind date shows such as "If You Are Honest, Do Not Disturb" can be said to be Gu Chen's originality, and before that, this type of entertainment program has never appeared in the world. Therefore, as long as Wireless also does this kind of program, all the media will say that Wireless is plagiarism.
Fang Yihua had already expected Shao Yifu's reaction, and said: "It's not piracy, it's imitation, although the blind date show is Gu Chen's originality, but we can't not allow others to do it because of this, as long as we don't copy it, Hong Kong law can't say that we infringe." ”
After a pause, Fang Yihua continued: "A few days ago, I asked people to make a statistic that before the launch of "The Voice of Asia", TVB and ATV accounted for 60.4% and 21.3% of the Hong Kong TV market respectively, and ATV's share was only about one-third of that of TVB. But after the start of the broadcast, ATV's market share began to rise sharply, so far it has reached 44.5%, more than doubled, on the other hand, wireless, the market share has dropped from 60.4% to 47.8%, and ATV is almost the same, if you can't find an effective way, then it won't be long before ATV's market share will surpass wireless and become the largest TV station in Hong Kong. ”
If the former paragraph was not taken seriously by Shao Yifu, then the latter paragraph really touched Shaw's sensitive nerves. TVB was founded by him, and how brilliant it was in the past, how could he be willing to give up the throne of Hong Kong's largest TV station so easily......
"Boss, this is the financial statement for the last week." John Barroman handed over a document to Gu Chen, Gu Chen rarely came to the company, most of the time in the past he arranged for someone to send the financial statements to Gu Chen, but today saved him this effort.
Gu Chen just flipped it open and looked at it and handed the document to Ouyang Lan who was standing behind him, who immediately put it away after taking it.
"You go out of the city first." After Ouyang Lan left, Gu Chen opened his mouth and asked: How is the investment in Japanese real estate going now? ”
I saw John Barroman said with a slightly excited expression: "Although the process is not too smooth, but the company should now be regarded as officially entering the Japanese real estate, the initial investment of 2 billion Hong Kong dollars, you would never think, a month ago I just bought a property in Ginza, only one month to appreciate more than 30%, Japan is really crazy, as long as there is capital, it is too easy to make money." ”
Although he had expected this result, Gu Chen still showed a smile on his face and said: "The Chinese have an old saying that 'if you want to let it die, you must first make it crazy', which means that if you want something to perish, you must first make it crazy, and this is the case in Japan now." ”
John Barroman nodded again and again, in the eyes of his professional economist, the current Japanese economy is very irrational, the transaction price of real estate, the main supporting industry of the national economy, has reached a new high every day, the Nikkei index continues to rise, and the people of the whole country are immersed in a false prosperity, if no effective measures are taken, when the bubble bursts, then everything will be over.
He could see that many people could see it naturally, but Japan, under pressure from the United States, had to continue to maintain its policy of low interest rates and constantly expand the openness of its financial markets, which further stimulated the frenzy of domestic and foreign capital, until it lost control of the market at the very least.
"Now Japan's stock market and housing market are flooded with foreign capital, if the Japanese government maintains the existing policy unchanged, the boss you invested 6 billion Hong Kong dollars I am afraid it will not take a year to double, Oh, MyGod, this is too exaggerated, faster than robbing a bank, by then the boss your wealth can definitely rank among the top few super-rich in Hong Kong, 21-year-old super-rich? This world is really crazy. ”
Gu Chen only smiled faintly at John Barroman's exaggerated expression, and then said, "John, don't tell me that you didn't invest in it. ”
John Barroman's expression froze, and he said with a little embarrassment: "I have a small amount of money, and I don't have as much commission as the boss you give, how can I compare with the boss." ”
"It seems that you have learned the modesty of the Chinese." Gu Chen smiled, and changed his words: "How is the matter I explained to you some time ago going?" ”
