Chapter 553 [Don't Give Too Much]
When Lin Zuhui learned that News Corp bought 35% of Dragon TV's shares in the hands of Hutchison Whampoa and the Li family at a sky-high price of 2.7 billion Hong Kong dollars, he couldn't help but sigh - the tiger father has no dogs. Li Zekai is good at ripping off bamboo, and he is not polite to Mei Duo who was sent.
In fact, Xiangjiang Media has crowned Li Zekai as a 'little superman', and his reputation has become famous, and he immediately threatens Xiangjiang.
On July 25, Hong Kong's "Economic Times" commented: "It's really terrifying! Li Zekai, the second son of Li Chao, finally made a good show this time, bringing nearly 4 billion Hong Kong dollars in benefits to Hutchison Group and its father...... Li Chaoren hopes that his son will become a Chan, and this time he can get his wish."
Li Zekai can do this, but ATV can't sell it to Mei Duo at a high price, because the two sides want to continue to cooperate, so they only sell 15% of Mei Duo's shares to Mei Duo with a small profit.
In the conference room of the ATV building, Lin Zuhui and Mei Duo signed a cooperation treaty.
The two sides stipulate that 'Dragon TV' will be renamed 'Asia Satellite TV', so as to better promote;
The original 'Asia Satellite TV' was renamed 'Asia Satellite TV Entertainment Channel', which was wholly owned by ATV Group and only under the name of Asia Satellite TV;
The five channels of the original Dragon TV were changed to: Satellite TV Chinese Channel, Satellite TV Movie Channel, Satellite TV Drama Channel, STARMovies (Star Cinema), and STARorld (Satellite TV Family Carnival Channel).
STARMovies (Star Cinema) and STARorld (Satellite TV Family Carnival Channel), which are managed by News Corporation;
Satellite TV movie stations and satellite TV drama stations are responsible for ATV Group;
Satellite TV Chinese Channel is jointly operated by the two parties.
Of course, at present, because there are only six Asian Satellite TV TV networks, it will definitely lease more satellite receivers and open more channels in the future; Whether these channels cooperate with the local government or are wholly owned by News Corp. If ATV needs to open a new channel, News Corp will unconditionally support it.
After signing the contract, Mei Duo smiled and said, "It's really my honor to be able to cooperate with Mr. Lin!"
Lin Zuhui responded, "Me is the same!"
Actually, he is not very interested in this cooperation, but it can make money without harming the interests of ATV Group, and it doesn't hurt to cooperate. There is a news group to develop, and the next dozens of channels are still very powerful, for example, in the previous life, satellite TV had more than a dozen Indian channels in India, and many countries had local language channels of satellite TV.
Mei Duo said, "Mr. Lin, what do you think of the mainland market?"
Lin Zuhui smiled and said, "Mr. Mei Duo, will you make a choice between Taiwan Island and the mainland?"
Mei Duo was stunned for a moment, and then said, "Can't you have both fish and bear's paws?"
Lin Zuhui shook his head and said, "Impossible! Moreover, the mainland will hardly allow ...... Therefore, I think the satellite channel in Greater China is not realistic, and only the Chinese channel in the exclusive region may work. Of course, these are just my guesses, and we have to take one step at a time."
In fact, Lin Zuhui does not value the TV market in the mainland, because the policy does not allow it (private individuals cannot own TV stations), let alone overseas TV stations, so there is no need to struggle.
At present, the mainland can still receive 'satellite TV entertainment stations, (formerly Asia Satellite TV), and even entered the national cable television network, as for the future, we can only take one step at a time. ….
He is a world businessman and has never wanted to stand in line, but he can't stand the fact that Xiangjiang has always advertised 'news', so even if he is the boss, he can't interfere with some news, otherwise he will be complained about and even investigated.
The only thing he can do is to ask the senior management of Asia Television to pay attention, don't be a referee, just follow the normal news broadcast. The most important thing is that Asia Television should always adhere to the principle of "entertainment first" and learn from the Mango TV in its previous life.
In the previous life, Phoenix Satellite TV, almost no one watched it in Xiangjiang, and it was banned later on Taiwan Island, that is, it was not close to the mainland at the beginning, and could only be watched by cable in the Pearl River Delta, and it was not as wide as the Chinese TV at the beginning (the Chinese station was banned because it offended the official because of something).
Port stream culture, passed
The effect of satellite TV communication only accounts for about 2 percent; The real overseas and mainland communication has to be accumulated day after day, including the output of dramas, announcements from foreign TV stations, cultural exchanges between the two places, cooperation between entertainment companies in the two places, and the operation of the fan economy....... And so on, the output of various channels 'port flow culture,.
When the accumulation reaches a certain level, it will be like a vast ocean, impacting the local entertainment industry, which cannot be resisted.
Xiangjiang's 'port culture's is more suitable for export, because Xiangjiang Free Port does not need to consider other factors, and has more advantages than South Korea in the previous life.
Mei Duo smiled and said, "I think you are too pessimistic, probably because of this reason, you agreed to cooperate with us, because you don't want to offend both sides."
It seems that Mei Duo has never seen it, so let him touch the ashes.
Lin Zuhui spread his hands and said: "We have only one purpose for running satellite TV, that is, 'entertainment is supreme, so no one will be offended.'"
Mei Duo thought to himself, it's best if you don't interfere, you will guard the entertainment industry in the future, and I will meddle in news and sports.....
........
Only by walking in ATV City can you really feel the greatness of this company, in fact, the word 'greatness' is used to describe Lin Zuhui. With the promotion of Hong Kong culture, it has affected all aspects of Xiangjiang, and the more important one is tourism.
Many Asian tourists have come to Hong Kong to check in, because they are influenced by Hong Kong dramas and Hong Kong idols. For example, the house of "Full House", such as several filming points of "Blue Life and Death Love...... Wait a minute; For another example, some fans came to Xiangjiang to chase stars.
All these have driven the tourism industry in Xiangjiang, and industry insiders and media in Xiangjiang have praised ATV Group.
Lin Zuhui visited alone in ATV City, and from time to time there were staff and artists greeting him, filled with a large number of handsome guys and beauties.
It was a very refreshing feeling, and I visited ATV City a little, which made Lin Zuhui happy.
In order to build ATV City into an 'entertainment capital', Lin Zuhui asked the New Era Group to buy a large piece of residential land in the southeast of 'ATV City' two years ago, preparing to build a noble community and a 'star hotel'.
In the future, this star-rated hotel can cooperate with ATV Group, and it will be able to receive those fans who chase stars, or tourists who visit ATV City's film and television city, or guests who come to cooperate.
Back in his office, Lin Zuhui asked his assistant to call Li Zhuanglie, the head of the drama production department. ….
Lin Zuhui said to him, "Have you watched Zhou Xingchi's recent movie "Journey to the West"?"
The contract with Zhou Xingchi ended in 1992, and soon he and Liu Zhenwei formed a film company.
Li Zhuanglie shook his head and said, "I didn't go to the cinema to watch it, but I heard that I lost money. The company thought it would be a box office hit, so it also loaned Zhu Yin to him."
Zhu Yin signed a five-year contract with ATV, and it has only been two years now, but she has already filmed two Hong Kong ratings dramas "Blue Life and Death Love" and "Full House of Romance".
Lin Zuhui said: "I didn't watch it either, I was planning to let the company shoot "Journey to the West"."
Li Zhuanglie immediately understood and said, "The boss wants to shoot the nonsensical "Journey to the West"?"
Lin Zuhui nodded and said, "Well, it is necessary to adapt a lot, and the pursuit of entertainment is overwhelming, except for the costumes, everything else is completely free from the constraints of costume dramas, so that the characters are flesh and blood........
Li Zhuanglie immediately said, "I understand, I'll arrange the producer as soon as possible."
Lin Zuhui signaled him not to worry, and continued: "Sun Wukong, I have a candidate, that is Zhang Weijian of wireless, you go and inquire about his contract, if it doesn't expire, just wait for him to expire. Don't rush this film, you have to work hard, it's a big production, and it's better to add computer special effects."
Li Zhuanglie suddenly became serious, and hurriedly said: "Okay, then I'll dig people first, this Zhang Weijian I know, I have filmed a lot of boring funny films, and singing is not likable, and there will be no prospects in wireless."
Lin Zuhui was stunned for a moment, and immediately said, "Since this is the case, then it is even more
Don't rush into contact, first look at the length of his contract. Anyway, don't give him the opportunity to ask for a high price, you can't give too much salary."
Li Zhuanglie is a little confused, the boss has always been very generous, why do you have to explain to Zhang Weijian so harshly,. Of course, he wouldn't ask so much, and guessed that maybe the boss was ready to reduce costs.
"Well, I'm sure I'll sign him without letting him open his mouth."
"Just a little higher than wireless, lest everyone say we're wronged. Now those movie stars in Xiangjiang are all self-righteous, and the asking prices are higher than the other. So, we TV actors don't go that way."
Li Zhuanglie said with a smile: "Boss, don't worry, we are all TV drama actors who are digging out ourselves, and it is our TV drama fire, not their star fire. Besides, we now account for 70% of Hong Kong's ratings, and these stars are reluctant to leave."
This is true, the same as wireless back then.
However, ATV is more domineering now, it is a TV station in Asia, and signing with ATV has the hope of becoming famous overseas, which is what those stars like more.
Especially the Hong Kong stars, it is impossible to go wireless.
This time, Lin Zuhui asked Li Zhuanglie to prepare for "Journey to the West", which was a rare proposal for him, and he also saw that Zhang Weijian's "Journey to the West" was so popular in his previous life, and he didn't want to give wireless a chance to turn over. It is said that in the previous life, this drama earned 200 million advertising fees (non-net profits), not to mention being introduced to the mainland.
