Chapter 244: Joining TVB? (Above)

After the end of the annual leave on the fifteenth day of the first month, everyone officially returned to the company to work, and Xu Guanwu also began to enter the busy work.

As soon as I got to work, a large number of documents piled up, which needed to be browsed and approved by Xu Guanwu.

Among them, there is a box office war for the Chinese New Year, and the Xu brothers' "Deed of Sale" is leading as always, surpassing the second movie "Imperial Flower" by two positions.

Hong Jingbao, Yuan Biao, and Lin Zhengying's "Loser" and Liu Jialiang, Liu Jiahui's "Lu Acai and Huang Feihong" chess opponents, are on par with each other, tied for third place.

Wu Siyuan's "Seven Million Robbery" and Li Hanxiang's "Dream of Red Mansions" are temporarily ranked fifth or sixth, but they are full of stamina and have slowly caught up.

In addition to the report on the box office of the Chinese New Year, there is also Zheng Donghan who sent him a record for his singers, from Xu Xiaofeng, Xu Guanjie, Xu Guanying, Wen Na Band, Zhang Guorong, etc., basically one record a month, so that everyone can release one in the first half of the year. Of course, there are so many artists to launch, and the upfront cost is naturally very large.

Xu Xiaofeng, Xu Guanjie, and Wen Na are already first-line stars, so the new album must not be sloppy, and it must have more breakthroughs than the previous album, otherwise it will disappoint fans.

And Xu Guanying's album last year was a big hit, which also made him a big and small celebrity in the music world, and he still needs to release another record to stabilize his popularity, after all, he is not a professional singer, and he does not need to spend the most effort to operate.

Zhang Guorong is still a newcomer at this time, although because of the Chinese New Year album at the beginning of the year, he has some fame among fans. Many girls and fans send letters to the company. Ask if that young boy is a side? So his debut album can't be sloppy.

Xu Guanwu is in the line of copying. It was a layman who planned to manufacture and release an album, so he simply did it as a shopkeeper, waved a big pen, and left it all to Zheng Donghan at his discretion. Anyway, Yisheng Records is not short of funds, and there is no star who can't get a star with money?!

In addition to approving money, Xu Guanwu also used the ultimate obscene skill necessary for a traverser - writing a copy of the wheel eye, and transcribed many classic songs for Zheng Donghan to choose as appropriate.

There are English songs such as "SAYYOUSAYME", "WEWILLROCKYOU", "TAKEMYBREATHAWAY", "Apologize", "brotherlouie", etc.; There are also Chinese songs such as "Easily Injured Woman", "Sad Pacific", "The First Dream", "Recently More Annoying", "Mortal Song", "Sword Like a Dream", "Difficult Sutra", "Stupid Child", "Laughing Red Dust", "Love Song 1980", "Childhood" and so on, and Cantonese songs "Qian Nu Ghost", "Song of a Thousand Thousand Que", "Interweaving a Thousand Hearts", "What to Ask for in a Life", "I Like You", "Men Should Be Self-Improvement", "Late Autumn", "Lovesick in the Wind and Rain", "Flower Messenger", "Lovelorn Front Alliance" , "Ambition in My Chest" and so on.

Copied nearly 100 songs in one go. After writing, Xu Guanwu felt as if his brain was about to explode, and he fell directly on the table in pain.

Xu Guanwu knew that this was an overuse of his brain, and the nearly 100 songs were hidden in the depths of his memory, and he hadn't listened to them for three years, so he couldn't remember too many lyrics. In order to recall these old songs scattered in the depths of his memory, Xu Guanwu really gave up his life.

"Sister, it seems that Wen Copying Gong should do less work in the future, otherwise if I do this a few more times, I will have to change my brain cancer." I was dizzy on the table for a long time. Xu Guanwu relieved his spirit a little, and couldn't help but think with some fear.

Subsequently. Xu Guanwu brought Zheng Donghan over, "Norman, I have finished approving your report, just do what you think, I will strongly support you behind your back." ”

"Xiexie, you Stanley! By the way, it doesn't seem like your face is good, are you sick? Zheng Donghan asked with concern.

"Oh, there's a bit of a headache, probably from the wind." Xu Guanwu gently rubbed his temples.

"Then you really have to be careful, why don't you go to the doctor?" Zheng Donghan proposed.

"Don't be so troublesome, it's just a little thing, how can you use it to mobilize the people." Xu Guanwu waved his hand, "By the way, this is a song I wrote, some of the lyrics may not be very good, you can find someone to modify it." If you look at it, you can include it on the album. ”

Zheng Donghan took the folder that Xu Guanwu had lost, and felt heavy as soon as he started it, he opened it suspiciously, and saw that there was a thick stack of paper inside, marked with a brief score and lyrics.

"Oh my god, how many songs do you have to have in here?" Zheng Donghan was startled and asked in surprise.

"Nearly a hundred, you screen slowly, use haode if you have it, and put it away for the time being if you don't use it." Xu Guanwu waved his hand and said, "Remember not to make a noise, I don't want to be seen as a monster." ”

Zheng Donghan smiled bitterly, although he didn't know how many days Xu Guanwu had been composing, but he could write nearly 100 songs, which can be regarded as amazing. Ordinary singers may not be able to write nearly 100 songs in their lifetime.

"I know, Mr. Xu, I'll keep it a secret." Zheng Donghan nodded and left with the papers.

Xu Guanwu got up and looked out the window, but saw that it was already a little dark, and it was already more than five o'clock in the afternoon when he looked at his watch.

"Damn, how much time did I have to write, how do I finish writing and get off work?" Xu Guanwu scolded.

Before, he was engrossed in the career of copying the public, but he was so focused that he forgot the time, but he just went to work in the morning, and when he was done, it was already time to get off work.

……

When he went home from work, Xu Guanwu found that his wife hadn't gotten off work yet, and he couldn't help frowning.

TVB is also too good at employing people, giving the host money, but doing the program planning, it is really from program planning, theme selection, to the program host, only one money is given for three jobs.

Fortunately, Zhao Yazhi didn't care about her interests, and the others wanted to care, but she was not as hard as her waist, so she had to let TVB squeeze her.

"I remember that although TVB is now in charge of the Li family, the shares are in the hands of British-funded foreign banks such as HSBC and Hutchison Whampoa. Grab it. In this way, you don't have to point to Jiayi. Xu Guanwu pinched his chin and said.

TVB's largest shareholders are HSBC and Hutchison Whampoa, each with 2.36 million shares. Times Life International Inc. has 2.2 million shares. The Li family has a total of 380,000 shares, and Shao Liushu has 360,000 shares......

Since its opening, due to the poor effect of early TV commercials, the customers are only HSBC, Hutchison Whampoa, and Times Life, so the annual income is only a few million Hong Kong dollars.

Such a small income naturally did not attract the interest of a few major shareholders, so after the death of Li Xiaohe in the 80s, the three major shareholders did not have the will to send someone to take over, so they cheapened the largest private shareholder - Shao Liushu Shao Yifu.

After Shao Yifu took over TVB in the early 80s. immediately realized its development potential, and it happened that the Shaw Brothers were being challenged by emerging shili such as New Arts City and Golden Harvest in the film industry, and some of them were too old to bear. Uncle Shao Liu's strong man broke his wrist and fortunately reduced production, and greatly transferred Shaw Brothers funds to TVB, and successively acquired shares in HSBC, Hutchison Whampoa, Times International and other companies, becoming the rightful head of TVB.

If Xu Guanwu cuts off Hu halfway now, there is a considerable possibility that he will be able to snatch TVB from Shao Yifu. "That would be great!" The more Xu Guanwu thought about it, the more he felt that this idea was good, so he made up his mind to go back and talk to Shen Bi.

……

By the time Zhao Yazhi returned home, it was already more than seven o'clock in the evening. Xu Guanwu's hungry stomach growled, so he saw Zhao Yazhi coming home. He beckoned the servants to serve the meal one after another.

"You can eat it by yourself, I've already eaten it in the company." Zhao Yazhi said while hanging her mink coat.

Xu Guanwu couldn't help frowning, "Then if you don't make a phone call and come back, I'll wait for you for so long, and my hungry stomach will be deflated." ”

"I'm sorry, it's so much fun to discuss, I lost track of time." Zhao Yazhi said apologetically.

Xu Guanwu pursed his mouth, didn't speak, and first filled in his stomach with a big gulp.

After a while, like a whirlwind, Xu Guanwu patted his stomach, nodded with satisfaction, and then found a toothpick and walked to the sofa while holding it, "What are you discussing, isn't your show with high ratings, and you want to revise it again?" ”

"No, it's the company that plans to ask me to make a TV series." Zhao Yazhi waved her hand and said, and saw Xu Guanwu's face sink suddenly.

"Filming a TV series again, is there an end?" Xu Guanwu muttered dissatisfiedly, "There is no one on TVB?" That Huang Shuyi, Wang Mingquan, Lu Youhui, Li Siqi...... So many female artists don't praise you, what do you do? It is not possible to sign a long-term contract on the wireless. ”

"Maybe people think it's right for me, but you promised me before that I was allowed to shoot two TV series a year." Zhao Yazhi said with a pout.

"Then who is this TV series filmed with, what is the plot, and is there any intimacy scene?" Xu Guanwu asked with a frown.

"This time I co-starred with a newcomer named Zhou Yunfa, which tells the story of young people who are striving for Xiangshang." Zhao Yazhi introduced.

"Co-starring with Zhou Runfa?! "Shanghai Tang"?! Xu Guanwu couldn't help but be stunned, and then couldn't help asking.

"What 'Shanghai Tang'? Our one is called "Jianghu Kid". Zhao Yazhi frowned and said, "But the name "Shanghai Tang" is also quite haode, and it sounds quite loud. ”

""Jianghu Kid"?! Don't act, it doesn't sound good. Go back and wait for TVB to shoot "Shanghai Tang" and then you will act, to ensure that you will become an instant hit. Xu Guanwu waved his hand.

"You foresaw it again? I don't believe your words. Zhao Yazhi said, "I listened to the introduction of the producer, and I think this film is quite good." ”

"Alas, if you don't listen to the old man, you will suffer in front of you." Xu Guanwu sighed, "How many episodes are going to be filmed this time?" ”

"Filming 20 episodes, a serious big production." Zhao Yazhi said happily, whether it was her previous "Riding the Wind and Waves" or "Liangyou Shijie", they were all short dramas with only a few episodes, and the investment was not enjoyable.

This "Jianghu Kid" is very different, with a length of 20 episodes, a more tortuous storyline, fuller characters, and more room for actors to play.

"If I were Li Xiaohe, I would directly shoot a 100-episode long drama and broadcast four episodes a day, then it's fun to watch." Xu Guanwu pouted.

"How can there be such a long episode on shijie, and the actors will not be tired to death when they are filmed." Zhao Yazhi clearly did not believe it.

"Hmph, I became the chairman of TVB when I went back, you see that I don't make a hundred episodes of it." Xu Guanwu waved his hand.

"You're the chairman of TVB?!" Zhao Yazhi glanced him up and down and said, "How good are you to do movies, why do you want to get involved in the TV industry?" ”

"Of course, there's nothing new in the film industry, so I want to play the TV industry." Xu Guanwu waved his hand and said, "You don't know how annoying it is to sit in the office every day to approve documents, as long as you read the documents, they are not finished, stacks are piled up there, and you are annoyed when you look at them." ”

"Then you said you would move in when you became the owner? The Li family is not an ordinary family, if you rob his TV station, be careful that he will turn his face with you. Zhao Yazhi persuaded.

"I don't rob, sooner or later someone will rob. Besides, the Li family is powerful, but after so many generations, future generations have long lost the ambition to expand the territory. Xu Guanwu said with a smile, "The gentleman's Ze will be beheaded in the fifth generation." What's more, the Li family started with Fushou ointment, and after being rich for so many years, it is already cheap for him. (To be continued......)
