Since late December, ATV has begun to promote the "Blue Life and Death Love" series, and has invested a lot of resources in publicity.

Lin Zuhui knows that this TV series has caused huge repercussions in Taiwan, Xiangjiang, the mainland, and Japan in its previous life, and a blue storm has swept across Asia.

As you know from the name, this drama is a tragedy, and the heroine's cancer has been discovered in the quarter of the plot; Then there are all kinds of emotional entanglements between the five people, and all kinds of tear-jerking plots!

The biggest tragedy is that the hero and heroine are dead!

Tearjerker queen drama!

In order to ensure the 'original', Lin Zuhui not only contributed the outline of the script, but ATV also filmed in many scenic places in Xiangjiang. In the future, it may also promote the development of tourism in Hong Kong.

ATV will premiere on New Year's Day, and Asia Satellite TV will broadcast before Chinese New Year's Eve, at which time, everyone will be immersed in 'pathos' for this festival.

In ATV's conference room, Lin Zuhui convened the writers and directors of ATV's "Hong Kong Stream Culture", planning to adapt the "Da Chang Jin" in his previous life. However, Daejang-jin is a stick name, and 'Dae' is a Goguryeo surname in ancient times. He is naturally not so stupid, just set the name directly, and directly set the story of the Ming Dynasty.

This time, Lin Zuhui directly handed the manuscript to these people, and said: "This script outline is what others want ATV to shoot, I personally read it, and I think it is very suitable for the drama of 'Hong Kong Stream Culture', and I plan to hand it over to you for writing and shooting." ”

The assistant sent the manuscript to everyone, and after a brief look at it, it was a little incredible, can a historical drama be regarded as 'Hong Kong culture'?

Lin explained:

"Although this is a costume historical drama, it must incorporate many modern elements, and the heroine is a costume heroine who integrates the strong spirit of many modern women."

And the heroine in this drama can't pursue perfection in her personality. We have to oppose clichés, keep a lot of real shortcomings in the heroine, and use small shortcomings to strengthen the realism of the character's image, just like the girl next door is more likely to be accepted and appreciated by attention."

"It's still up to you female screenwriter team to complete this script, and we strive to complete the screenwriting and filming in the first half of next year, and broadcast it in the second half of next year!"

Everyone listened to Lin Zuhui's understanding, and they raised their pens to record it and regarded it as a treasure.

After the meeting was disbanded, Lin Zuhui showed a smile, ATV's dramas in recent years have been really more exciting than the other, and they can't hold their heads up at all.

And his eyes have been set on Asia, and even the world, so he didn't take the recent cooperation between Wireless and Dragon TV to heart at all.

However, Lin Zuhui didn't take it to heart, but someone not only took it to heart, but also blocked it, and this person was Wu Guangzhen.

Originally.

In August 1990, Li Chaoren persuaded the Hong Kong government to relax the regulations. Under the new CO, the use of dish antennas for satellite television (TV) does not require an application for approval and licence as long as it does not involve commercial purposes (for charging fees for subscribers, etc.) or for retransmission (for wireless and cable stations to provide services for a fee).

The Ordinance also stipulates that a stand-alone satellite dish connected to only one television set is exempted from licensing. If a building has a satellite dish wireless and indoor system, a licensed company is required to install and operate it.

According to statistics, at least 15,000 buildings in Hong Kong meet the standards for installing satellite antennas. This is a great threat to cable TV in Kyucang.

With smoke raging, it is difficult to determine who started the war first.

Li Zekai did not allow Wharf to enter the large housing estates and buildings built and managed by Cheung Kong to install cable television; Wu Guangzhen prohibited the licensed company that installed the satellite antenna from entering the building controlled by the family to install the dish antenna and indoor system. Clearly, both business talents have backers. Wu Guangzhen's backer is the king of chartered boats. But during this period, the charter king almost lived in seclusion. After the death of the charter king (September 23, 1991), people learned that he had been terminally ill a few years earlier.

Li Zekai's backer is naturally his father, and Li Ka-shing does not come forward for many things, but the decision-making power is in his hands. A reporter once asked Li Ka-shing about the TV dispute about his relationship with Wu Guangzhen. Li Ka-shing, who has always been leaky, said: "I am an old friend with Mr. Bao. "—Avoid Wu Guangzhen and don't talk about it. The implication is not difficult for the reader to guess.

In December 1990, Satellite Television was officially granted a business license, but with two additional conditions: first, it could not broadcast Cantonese programmes; Second, no fees shall be charged to users.

The first condition is actually the result of the pressure exerted by the three television stations, namely, TVB, ATV, and CNF, on the Hong Kong government.

Satellite TV coverage extends from the Mediterranean to the Western Pacific, providing television and telecommunications services to more than 30 countries and regions in Asia and Europe. But the main market of satellite TV is Hong Kong, and Hong Kong Chinese not only do not want to watch Chinese programs, but the vast majority of people do not even understand them. The ban on Cantonese programmes is tantamount to the loss of the Hong Kong market.

Li Ka-shing and his son frequently went in and out of the Hong Kong government to demand that the ban on Cantonese programmes be lifted. The Lee father and son also took turns to use the media to criticize the absurdity of the Hong Kong government's regulations: it is nonsense that a locally registered television station in Hong Kong does not allow programs in the local dialect.

Li Ka-shing has always valued harmony. His "abuse" was by no means impulsive. Aiming to win the hearts and minds of the people, he commissioned an independent public relations firm to conduct a poll in which nearly 100 percent of satellite TV users were in favor of broadcasting Cantonese (foreign users wanted to add English). Mr Lee submitted the results of the test to the Hong Kong Government's Broadcasting Authority of the Leisure and Cultural Broadcasting Branch for reference in amending the Ordinance.

Hutchison and Jiucang were fighting in the fighting method, and by mid-1991 they were at a fever pitch. The competition between the two sides was basically an offensive with Huang and a defensive position at Jiucang - Wu Guangzhen tried his best to urge the Hong Kong government to maintain the regulations in his favor. The Lee family and his son, on the other hand, attacked their "door to death" by asking the Hong Kong government to lift the ban on the broadcast of Cantonese programs, and also asking for permission to collect fees from users.

Wharf admitted to the media: "According to our investigation for many years, Hong Kong can only accommodate one pay TV in this small place, and two will only cause vicious competition and lose both." ”

Li Zekai turned a deaf ear to Jiucang's "goodwill warning" and wanted to put his opponent in a "dead place". Its momentum is sharper than that of the time when his father forced him to buy land.

Wu Tianhai, director of Wharf, lamented: "If the government approves the satellite TV charge, Wharf will definitely give up (the cable TV plan)." If the Government approves satellite television to broadcast Cantonese programmes, viewers' programme choices will be greatly increased, which will have a huge impact on cable television. Unless the government compensates in other ways, such as exemption from royalty tax, the chances of Wharf being out of town are more than anything else. ”

Jiucang adopted the technique of mourning in order to win the sympathy of public opinion and relevant officials of the Hong Kong government.

Li Zekai did not move his compassion, but still pursued relentlessly.

The September 6, 1991 edition of Next Magazine pointed out: "The estimated investment of cable television and the second network in the Wharf plan is HK$5.5 billion, while the investment in Hutchison's satellite TV project is also more than HK$3 billion. In the competition of billions of yuan of investment between the two major consortia, in order to protect themselves and defeat the enemy, how can they not do their best to fight!"

In this battle, ATV has secured the Diaoyutai because it was the first to obtain a satellite TV license and is also allowed to broadcast Cantonese programs.

The reason why Lin Zuhui persuaded the Hong Kong government was very simple:

First of all, ATV already holds a TV license patent, and Asia Satellite TV is equivalent to a star upgrade;

secondly, Lin Zuhui used his 'Hong Kong culture to rejuvenate Hong Kong' as a weapon of public opinion;

In the end, Lin Zuhui promised that satellite TV would not be charged.

Today, Dragon TV still has not obtained the right to broadcast Cantonese programs, and it cannot be charged. It seems that the Hong Kong government has also given a certain amount of face to Wu Guangzhen's resistance.

However, Lin Zuhui knows that in the first half of next year, the two families will probably 'shake hands and make peace' and no longer continue to fight.

Of course, how could Lin Zuhui let Li Zekai make money comfortably, he would give Li Zekai a fatal blow and let this little brother understand that 'money is not so easy to earn!' Especially, sell the country money! ’

In fact, it is very simple, as long as in 1993, when Li Zekai planned to sell Dragon TV, Lin Zuhui announced that ATV would set up a satellite TV network. So, will his Dragon TV value still be so valuable?

Does Murdoch dare to make content with a giant who controls the output of 'Hong Kong culture'?

Even if he dares, he won't buy it at a premium!

To put it bluntly, Dragon TV must depreciate.

In Lin Zuhui's view, the battle between him and Li Chaoren has just begun, and it has only officially begun.

Of course he won't mind, just teach the little one a lesson!
