Because Hong Kong's economy is stronger than Wanwan, Singapore, Malaysia and other places, and the entertainment industry is Hong Kong's strength, whether it is movies, TV dramas, comics, songs, novels, etc., it is second to none in East Asia. Therefore, the TV dramas produced by Hong Kong TV can get very high ratings in these three places.

For example, the TV series "Chu Liuxiang" produced by TVB not only achieved very high ratings in Hong Kong, but also attracted tens of thousands of empty alleys when it was screened in Wanwan.

This shows how lethal Hong Kong TV dramas are, and such high quality can naturally make it sell at a relatively high price. is like the previous "Chu Liuxiang", one episode is NT$200,000, and 30 episodes is NT$6 million. It's almost worth the cost of TV. If you add the income from Singapore, Malaysia and other places, the takeaway copyright alone is enough to recover the cost, and it can also make a lot of money.

Therefore, even if a TV station like Li's TV station has low ratings and low advertising income, it is still willing to take more money to make TV series, the reason is that this TV series is not filmed in vain, and it can make a lot of money for the TV station.

But now that Jiayi TV has formed an alliance with their big customers for takeaway TV copyrights, they will naturally screen TV dramas produced by Jiayi TV in the future, who would want to spend a lot of money to buy TV rights from Wireless and Li's TV stations?! Sir Shao's move not only found a way out for himself, but also cut off the way out for others. It's really a good idea. It's extremely spicy.

Mr. Li Xiaohe, the current head of TVB, has dealt with Shao Yifu all his life. is both a friend and a competitor, it is said that he has studied Sir Shao thoroughly, but he still has not estimated this trick "Hezong". After he heard the news, he couldn't help but sigh that after all, Sir Shao was famous, and there were indeed two brushes.

Mr. Li Xiaohe also apologized to Xu Guanwu for his guilt, bluntly saying that it was his own negligence that made Sir Shao's alliance successful. And with these three allies, the shortcomings of Jiayi TV have basically made up. Although there are still four prime hours to broadcast educational programs, although they may not be as good as wireless and beautiful in terms of ratings. However, the reduction of operating costs and the increase in advertising revenue can still allow Jiayi TV to continue to operate.

As long as Jiayi TV can continue to operate, there are infinite possibilities, first, Li's TV station has since cut off a way to make money, and it is a difficult problem whether it can increase investment in TV dramas in the future.

In the previous life, Asia Television after Li's TV station, because the ratings of self-made TV dramas were always low, it was difficult to maintain such high-investment TV drama production with low advertising revenue, and finally blatantly disbanded its own artist department, and only relied on purchased TV dramas to support the scene. And if the TV series really gets to that point. In fact, bankruptcy is not far away.

And Jiayi TV's TV series have a lower cost, and they are bound to be able to shell out more money to produce TV series. At that time, high-quality TV dramas will inevitably take away the audience of wireless and beautiful TV stations, and when the time comes, natural beauty will be even more miserable, and wireless will presumably face a huge impact.

Regarding Mr. Li Xiaohe's worries, Xu Guanwu also understands it clearly. He first advised Mr. Lee not to blame himself,

"With Boss Shao's methods, it's easy for him to do this without letting us hear the news, and Mr. Li, you don't have to blame yourself too much." Xu Guanwu persuaded, "What Boss Shao relies on is the equal sharing of the production cost of TV dramas, which can reduce the cost of TV dramas and invest more funds in the TV drama department." But that doesn't mean their TV series ratings can beat us. ”

"That being said, if Shao Yifu moves the Shaw Brothers staff to Jiayi TV and uses the method of making movies to make TV, I am afraid that our TV series will be seriously impacted." Mr. Lee Hyo-wa said worriedly.

Although Shaw Brothers has been continuously suppressed by Golden Harvest and Hui's in recent years, there are still 3,000 nails in the so-called rotten ship, and the number of artists and employees under his umbrella is still the first among Hong Kong film companies. Whether it is a director, actor, cinematographer, screenwriter, props, makeup, etc., after decades of accumulation, it can be said that it has a very thick bench thickness.

If these people are transferred to Jiayi TV, borrowing these smash hit movie actors, borrowing movie screenwriters to write scripts, and then directing TV series with the same method of directing movies, it will greatly improve the quality of TV dramas.

You must know that the Lu Dao movie is a condensed essence of TV dramas, and screenwriters who can write movie scripts can easily write dozens of episodes of TV drama scripts, because this is nothing more than water injection for them, turning things that could have been explained clearly in an hour and a half into the length of a TV series of 30 episodes like rolling noodles.

And if you use the technique of directing a movie to direct a TV series, then it will naturally be stronger than before in terms of picture, action, and rhythm control. Only the best TV series directors are qualified to make movies, but generally directors who can't get along in the film industry will go back to make TV series.

At that time, Xu Ke was filming a TV series on Jiayi TV, because he used the method of directing movies to shoot the martial arts TV series "Golden Knife Lover", which was widely acclaimed, and thus attracted the appreciation of Hong Kong's famous Bole Wu Siyuan, thus promoting him to enter the film industry, and filmed the epic masterpiece "Butterfly Change" of Hong Kong martial arts films.

And when the fat boy Wang Jing was stuck in the quagmire of Hong Kong movies, he also went to Wanwan and the mainland to shoot many TV series, and the ratings were all very good, especially the "Love in the Night Central" he helped ATV shoot, which was a rare double-digit rating, which made ATV breathe a sigh of relief in the face of his old rival wireless.

In addition, in terms of actors, Shaw Brothers has accumulated a lot of highly recognizable actors in the past few decades, these actors may not be so popular, but they have a very high degree of recognition, which is commonly known as "familiar faces". Ten or twenty years ago, they may have been famous and popular students. Hua Dan. Although so many years have passed, it has long been out of the air in the film industry. But their names are still in the hearts of Hong Kong citizens.

And the fans who watched their movies before are now all families, and although they don't go to the theater to watch movies anymore, they will still be happy to continue watching them when they appear in front of the TV again. Maybe when you watch it, you will be very happy or bitter to reminisce about the situation back then.

……

With these benefits, the quality of TV dramas on Jiayi TV, which will be helmed by Shaw Brothers in the future, will definitely be much higher. At that time, it will definitely impact the ratings of wireless and Li's TV series. This point is not only clear to Li Xiaohe, Xu Guanwu is clear, Lian Li's TV station manager Huang Xizhao, and Li's three heroes also know the way.

But now that the rice is cooked, it's completely useless to complain, it's better to face up to this reality and come up with a solution.

Xu Guanwu is not worried about the ratings, to be honest, he has at least 100 popular TV series in his mind, such as "Intolerable Love", "I am Kind", "Court No. 1", "Wonderful Hands and Benevolence", "Forensic Records", "Sister Tuogun" and so on, any one can beat Jiayi TV.

In addition to these popular TV series. He also knows a lot of popular variety shows such as "Super Girl", "Super Boy", "My Type My Show", "If You Are Honest, Do Not Disturb", "Where Did Dad Go", "The Voice of China", "I Am a Singer" and other popular variety shows, which can be remodeled. Become a guarantee of super high ratings.

Moreover, his acquisition of TVB was mainly to improve the industrial chain of his media empire, and he did not point to how much money this TV station could make, so even if he invested all the money he earned into the TV station, whether it was shooting high-cost TV series, increasing the salaries of employees, or digging the corners of Jiayi TV Station, he had no opinion at all. So I'm not afraid of the high-cost TV series of Jiayi TV at all.

No matter how high the cost of Jiayi TV is, after all, it is to make money, and when it comes to Xu Guanwu, who takes money and doesn't pay for it, it is naturally difficult to compare. In addition, in terms of directors, actors, and screenwriters, Xu is not inferior to Shaw Brothers in any way, and in some respects far surpasses him.

For example, in terms of special effects, Xu's special effects personnel have all returned from industrial light and magic, and have participated in the production of "Star Wars" special effects. If you really want to shoot a TV series, it is far inferior to wireless in terms of picture special effects.

……

"Mr. Li, you don't need to panic, in terms of talents, our Xu family is also full of talents, and there is a steady stream of new talents from Xinghui Art School." Xu Guanwu waved his hand and said to Mr. Li Xiaohe with a smile, "Besides, our superstar manager company is also starry-eyed. If Mr. Li Xiaohe needs to use any star, as long as you talk to them, as long as they have a schedule, they will definitely obey your dispatch. If anyone dares to disobey, Mr. Leigh, you also have my phone number, tell me, and I'll clean them up. ”

Mr. Li Xiaohe received Xu Guanwu's full support, and he couldn't help but fall to the ground with a stone. To tell the truth, although he is now serving as the chairman of TVB, he actually doesn't have many shares in his hands, and the majority is in Xu Guanwu's hands. He was able to let himself continue to serve as the chairman of TVB, which is already a great favor.

When Shao Yifu announced the alliance between Jiayi TV and Wanwan's China Television, Malaysia's National Television, and Singapore's Mediacorp, Mr. Li Xiaohe felt a pain in his heart.

This matter is indeed his negligence, and after Shao Yifu entered Jiayi TV for more than a year, he has not made much action, which made Mr. Li Xiaohe also relax his vigilance. He didn't receive any news about this matter at all, and naturally he didn't take any measures, so Shao Yifu quietly reversed the situation.

As soon as this incident came out, Li Xiaohe showed up and thought that Xu Guanwu would take this opportunity to remove him directly from the chairman's throne, after all, there was an element of his dereliction of duty in this matter. And the chairman's position has been under his ass for too long, whether it is Zhong Jinghui, the assistant to the chairman, or Liang Shuyi, the successor of the chairman, they have been waiting for too long.

But I didn't expect that after the incident, Xu Guanwu continued to express his support for him, and not only verbally, but also gave him considerable autonomy economically, which is quite rare. Mr. Li Xiaohe couldn't help but be greatly moved, originally he was faintly dissatisfied with Xu Guanwu because of his sneaky acquisition of TVB's shares, but now he is also laughing and resentful.

……

Mr. Li Xiaohe has the full support of Xu Guanwu, so he is not so afraid of Jiayi TV, on the contrary, he has the idea of trying to fight. But for Huang Xizhao, the manager of Li's TV station, the matter is like roasting him on the stove. (To be continued......)
