Chapter 470: [Karuna]
The next day, Lin Zuhui was interviewed by Japan's NHK TV in the office of ACN Center.
Because he was the first person to engage in satellite television in Asia, he was awarded the title of "Tokyo Creative General" by the relevant Japanese organization, and he was also the first foreigner to receive this honor. Although it is a small Japan award, Lin Zuhui is a businessman after all, so he accepts it gladly.
Unexpectedly, Japan's NHK TV station sent a little girl who was probably just graduating to interview him, and the important thing is that he looks good, which is a bit confusing.
Lin Zuhui is also the richest man in China, and his appeal in Xiangjiang is doubtful, but Japan's NHK TV dares to be so 'slow'?
Probably worried that her qualifications were not enough, the little girl said as soon as they met: "Mr. Lin, hello, my name is Karuna!" "It was in English.
Garuna?
This name is somewhat familiar, and Lin Zuhui quickly remembered that this was not Li Zekai's girlfriend in his previous life! He suddenly realized that he became the first Asian to do satellite TV, and this award was originally Li Zekai's, so now it is awarded to himself, NHK TV plans to send a 'beauty plan', which can get better interview results.
Lin Zuhui said with a smile: "I know Japanese, because I am interviewed by Japanese TV, you can speak Japanese with me!" ”
Karuna's eyes lit up, and he hurriedly said, "Thank you, does Mr. Lin know a lot of language?" ”
"Because I have to go to many countries to do business, I have also learned the languages of some countries, hoping to increase mutual trust," said Lim Zuhui. What about you, can you briefly introduce yourself first? ”
Garunai suddenly became a little curious about Lin Zuhui, just because he had to do business with people from other countries, he learned a lot of languages; And looking at the Japanese of the richest man in China, he is really fluent.
He's a genius!
Karunai has done some homework beforehand, the richest man in China is only 27 years old this year, and his mother is long gone, and his father is just an ordinary person, a self-made man in the true sense.
Incredible.
"I graduated from Columbia University with a degree in journalism, and my parents were university professors......."
Lin Zuhui praised: "No wonder, NHK TV will let you interview me, it seems that you were born in a scholarly family, and you are also a very good reporter!" ”
After Lin Zuhui's appreciation, Garunai was not nervous at once, and the atmosphere in the room was much better.
The interview officially began.
Japan's NHK TV must have set up a lot of questions in advance for Karuna to ask, and not only questions from Asia Satellite TV; Even the questions of "Detective Conan" were asked a few.
Of course, Lin Zuhui replied positively that Wanhui Comics Club hopes to learn from Japan, and then create good works, and expressed his admiration for Japan's comic industry.
"Mr. Lin, the audience of Asia Satellite TV has exceeded 25 million, which can be said to be quite successful, what do you think are the factors for his success?"
"Of course, it's the content. At the beginning of the establishment of Asia Satellite TV, my plan was to promote the 'Hong Kong culture', not to make money, but to hope that more Asians could recognize our Hong Kong's 'entertainment culture', and also hoped that through this cultural exchange, people in various Asian countries and regions would be strengthened. ”
"Mr. Lin, I'm a fan of .t, I heard that they are the first generation of 'Hong Kong Idols', do they represent a new Xiangjiang entertainment culture!"
"Yes, their performances are indeed new forms of performance, including Li Zhenxian, all of them belong to an innovation, we Hong Kong people call them 'Hong Kong culture', which can be regarded as a new genre after the maturity of the Hong Kong entertainment industry."
Lin Zuhui felt that he was about to become the promotion ambassador of Hong Kong culture, and he was also heartbroken for the sake of 'rejuvenating Hong Kong with Hong Kong culture'.
The interview was a great success, and both parties were satisfied!
But at the end, Lin Zuhui saw a trace of 'embarrassment' on Karuna's face;
Then, I heard Garuna say: "Mr. Lin, you seem to be very attractive to girls?" ”
Actually, the company did not give Karuna this question, but: Mr. Lin, you seem to be very popular with women?
However, Karuna didn't know what was going on, probably because she felt that the last question was too much, so she compromised.
Lin Zuhui suddenly wanted to know about his private life!
"Can I ask you a question about that?" Lin Zuyao said humorously.
Garuna's face suddenly showed a hint of redness, whether he answered 'yes' or 'no', the young rich man easily avoided this question.
I'm so stupid!
Garuna couldn't help but sigh at Lin Zuhui's cunning.
"I think Mr. Lin is funny and humorous, very gentlemanly, and must be very attractive to girls!"
"Thank you!"
That's it? Garuna was suddenly messy.
At the end of the interview, Karuna was a little reluctant to leave.
Lin Zuhui said: "Miss Garuna, how about eating together at noon, let me do the friendship of the landlord!" ”
Garuna flashed a hint of joy, and then said politely: "Then trouble Mr. Lin!" ”
Furama Hotel.
The Lin family's shop, Lin Zuhui and Garunai sat in a corner of the restaurant to eat.
During the banquet, Lin Zuhui carefully looked at Garunai, capable and mild-mannered, quite a classical temperament. has communicated too much with female stars, and Lin Zuhui suddenly wants to try another taste.
During the banquet, Lin Zuhui talked humorously, and he was a career strongman, and he also had an elegant temperament, which naturally attracted Garuna.
However, Karuna is not as easy to fool as ordinary stars.
"Mr. Lin, in fact, my last question just now wanted to ask: Are you very popular with women? I don't know, now in private, can you answer. But don't worry, I won't announce it! ”
Lin Zuhui said generously: "I am so young and very energetic, it is inevitable that I will have a few confidants. It's okay for you to announce this issue, it's not a secret on the Xiangjiang side. ”
Garuna was a little speechless for a moment, this one is so natural!
When they met for the first time, Lin Zuhui and Karuna did not happen, but asked Garuna for a contact information, and said that they would have dinner together in Tokyo another day.
And Garuna actually has a good impression of Lin Zuhui, mainly because she admires such a strong person, but Lin Zuhui's romance is something she can't accept at the first time.
And Lin Zuhui not only likes Karuna's capable and gentle temperament, but also thinks that she is like the Totosven version of Sazue Miyazawa, and she is also a bit like the Japanese princess Masako Kowada.
........
As soon as "Blue Life and Death Love" was broadcast, it caused a huge topic in Hong Kong, and after a quarter of the broadcast (episode 5), the ratings in Hong Kong have been as high as 48%, which is comparable to "Bao Qingtian" and "The Legend of the New White Lady" that year.
The important thing is that "Blue Life and Death Love" is a completely new style drama, and people in the industry contacted Lee Jung-hyun, . T's popularity, you know that ATV's 'Hong Kong culture' is obviously different from everyone's 'Hong Kong culture'.
Of course, since the slogan of 'Hong Kong culture rejuvenates Hong Kong' became popular in Hong Kong, the overall quality of the Hong Kong entertainment industry has improved a lot.
In short, with the broadcast of "Blue Life and Death Love", the term "Hong Kong Stream" was once again mentioned by the public and the media, and Hong Kong began to be proud of "Hong Kong Stream".
Lin Zuhui came to No. 81 Broadcasting Road, and the staff and artists all looked at him with adoring eyes along the way, and the potential of ATV is endless, which TVB cannot compare at any time.
ATV's programs have even come to buy the rights of European and American TV stations, ATV's dramas are popular in Asia, and everyone has a hunch that this time the "Autumn Fairy Tale" of "Blue Life and Death Love" will set off a 'Hong Kong Current' in Asia.
Lin Zuhui looked at the eyes enjoying the adoration of everyone, but he lamented that ATV's office space is too small, fortunately, at the end of this year, the ATV Center in Tseung Kwan O will be gradually put into use.
By the end of the year, ATV would have moved into the ATV Centre building in Tseung Kwan O, a 26-storey, 780,000-square-foot complex.
When he came to the office, Lin Zuhui drank tea and was not in a hurry to work.
His job at ATV is simple, it's all about giving advice and setting the big direction.
In terms of YG Entertainment, after the debut of the three groups this year, Lin Zuhui can let YG Entertainment play on his own in the future, and he only needs to express his opinions from time to time;
In terms of dramas, on the "Hong Kong Stream" series, he plans to successively launch "Autumn Fairy Tale", "Da Chang Jin", and "Full House of Romance" of "Blue Life and Death Love", so that the style of "Hong Kong Stream" has almost been established. In addition, ATV will also shoot the Lu Songxian version of "Smiling Proud Jianghu", the Gu Tianle version of "The Withered Heroes", the Huang Rihua version of "Dragon Babu", as well as "I Have a Date with Spring" and "I Have a Date with Zombies...... is mainly filming dramas with the theme of 'Hong Kong Stream'.
In terms of programs, in the 90s, European and American variety shows were still plagiarized, and in the late 90s, Korean variety shows could be copied.
After a while, ATV's financial manager Li Baoan came to Lin Zuhui's office and handed Lin Zuhui a piece of information.
"Boss, I sorted out last year's financial briefing you wanted!"
Lin Zuhui nodded, glanced at it a few times, and couldn't help but show a smile, with a total profit of 750 million, which is three times the profit of wireless!
The copyright income alone is 330 million Hong Kong dollars for the whole year.
"Is the company's cost of producing dramas particularly large?" Lin Zuhui asked.
"Yes, we invested in 32 TV series last year, 12 more than TVB; Moreover, the production cost of several of our TV series is about 15 million, and the production cost of "Blue Life and Death Love" this time is as high as 19 million. Li Baoan said seriously.
Lin Zuhui secretly smacked his tongue, the investment level of 15 million dramas is equivalent to the level of investment in "The Legend of the New White Lady", but Zhao Ya alone needs a salary of nearly 3 million.
"In the future, all the dramas in the style of Hong Kong Stream, the investment must be very large, and the scenes, costumes, etc., are very demanding. However, these will be used as a weapon to export culture, so your finance department does not need to card production fees. ”
How dare you card the 'port stream', Li Baoan said in his heart. This is related to the boss's big plan, how can he not understand it.
"Good boss! It is with the copyright income that ATV has today's achievements, and we will not be stuck in the production fee of Gangliu. ”
Lin Zuhui nodded with satisfaction and said, "Generally, bosses want their financial managers to tighten their finances for themselves, but I'm not that kind of boss." There is investment, there is return, ATV is looking at the world, not Xiangjiang. ”
Li Baoan can't help but admire his boss, ATV's copyright is really getting higher and higher year by year, and the scope is becoming more and more advertising.
