Chapter 229 Repercussions

This time, Li Hao spent HK$3.87 billion on the stock market to acquire 29% of the outstanding shares of TVB in the market.

Chen Guoqiang's 26% stake cost 5.25 billion Hong Kong dollars.

The shares in the hands of others cost 8.91 billion Hong Kong dollars, of which 2 billion Hong Kong dollars were converted into shares of its star film and television company.

For example, Wang Xuehong chose to convert 1.5 billion Hong Kong dollars into shares of a star film and television company.

The entire TVB, Haotian Media and its subsidiaries cost a total of 18.03 billion Hong Kong dollars, equivalent to 15.98 billion yuan!

At this time, Haotian Media holds 48% of the shares, its companies and star film and television companies hold a total of 50.1% of the shares, and there are still 0.9% of the outstanding shares in the market!

Except for some of its own funds, most of the rest comes from loans.

Li Hao won TVB TV, and as soon as the media reported it, it caused a thousand waves for a while, and there was a feeling that a wolf was coming.

And the various forces in Xiangjiang are also different, happy, worried, noncommittal, etc.

If Li Hao was before, he could only be regarded as a mainland film and television giant, although he had influence, it was not enough for all parties in Xiangjiang to pay attention to it, after all, the mainland and Xiangjiang seem to be separated by a river, but in fact, they are very different.

But now that Li Hao holds TVB, his status and influence in Xiangjiang have undoubtedly risen several steps.

No matter which force in Xiangjiang is, they can't ignore the influence of TVB!

This makes many people feel uneasy inside.

And Haotian Media's entry into TVB shook the entire Xiangjiang entertainment circle.

Originally, many people have already chosen 'Beiwang Shenzhou', some are diehards, and some are wavering and hesitating, and now this move directly makes these wavering and hesitant people directly choose 'Beiwang Shenzhou'!

Owning several movie theaters and accounting for almost 20% of the Xiangjiang film market is a bit of a stretch to be reckoned with. And now, with TVB in hand, the influence is even more explosive.

After the press conference, a cocktail party was held at the Peninsula Hotel, and the celebrities of Xiangjiang were exchanged at the reception.

"Li Sheng, congratulations!" Huo Qigang brought Guo Jingjing over and congratulated Li Hao.

"Thank you Mr. Huo for your help, when you bring Jingjing to the capital, you must let me do a good job and do my best as a landlord." Li Hao said with a smile.

This time Li Hao acquired TVB, and the Huo family made a lot of efforts in the middle.

In a sense, it's your own!

To be honest, Li Hao admired the older generation of the Huo family, and asked Huo Qigang to take Guo Jingjing, although Guo Jingjing is only an athlete, but she is the queen of diving.

And with Guo Jingjing, it is like building a bridge of communication between Xiangjiang and the mainland.

Now that Huo Qigang intends to enter the political arena, there is no doubt that the two sides are definitely a win-win situation.

At this time, Huo Qigang was also very emotional in his heart, Li Hao established contact with him through Guo Jingjing.

After more than half a year of hard work, it was successfully acquired TVB.

Of course, Huo Qigang was also shocked by Li Hao's strong financial resources, and took out tens of billions of Hong Kong dollars, which is real money, even if he gets a bank loan, it is quite amazing.

Meet with celebrities from all walks of life in Xiangjiang and officially appear in all walks of life in Xiangjiang.

Subsequently, Li Hao held a cocktail party at the Peninsula Hotel and invited TVB actors, hosts and other staff.

Of course, there are also TVB stars, such as Andy Lau , Liang Chaowei , Zhen Zaidan , etc., all present.

TVB's artist contracts are divided into four types: manager contracts, basic head contracts, foreign aid head contracts, and singer contracts.

At present, there are 72 male artists in the manager's contract, 98 female artists in the manager's contract, 185 male artists and 161 female artists in the basic department, and 26 male artists and 19 female artists in the foreign aid department.

There are 59 male artists and 54 female artists in the singer contract.

To be honest, most artists have a lot harder time making money than mainland stars.

After all, the production cost of TVB's TV dramas is 600,000~800,000 Hong Kong dollars per episode, and now the average cost of ancient costumes for mainland TV dramas is 500~6 million per episode!

The main thing in this cocktail party is to meet these artists.

These artists still have a lot of energy.

In the past two days, these artists have frequently spoken out and supported Li Hao, and Li Hao has seen these in his eyes.

These will help Li Hao master TVB!

"Director Li!" She Shiman held a wine glass and greeted warmly.

"Shiman!" Li Hao smiled.

She Shiman has signed a contract with TVB since her debut, and has been filming dramas for 13 years, step by step to climb to the position of 'Queen of Ratings', and after the contract expired in 2012, she chose to change her contract with TVB and break into the mainland film and television circle, but she still signed a contract with TVB, a mainland investment company TVBC, and still grabbed the prime time of Hong Kong dramas with the attitude of 'TVB first sister'.

She Shiman, an artist who broke into the mainland film and television industry in the north, is relatively successful, according to her: "After more than ten years, I began to feel that I was standing still, and I wanted to go out and broaden my acting path." In recent years, her development in the mainland has been smooth, and she has received a salary of 20 million for several mainland dramas, which is almost more than the total salary she has received in TVB in the past ten years.

Li Hao joined TVB, and the most active female artist belongs to She Shiman.

Li Hao naturally saw it in his eyes and remembered it in his heart.

To be honest, TVB still has many well-known artists, but unfortunately one problem is obvious, that is, they are all too old, such as Charmaine Sheh is now 42 years old.

And that's all young!

Bigger than her abounds.

Slightly younger and famous here in Xiangjiang, Zhong Jiaxin is 33 years old, Xu Zishan is 38 years old, and Chen Fala is 35 years old.

This group of people has no market in the mainland at all.

If you want to be well-known or not, you want to be good-looking!

For example, at this cocktail party, there was no female artist who could amaze Li Hao.

Moreover, many artists can only speak Cantonese, and as for Mandarin, they can speak bumpily.

Like She Shiman, she has put in a lot of effort, and she can speak Mandarin quite well.

It can be said that TVB's actors not only have a serious problem of lack of talent, but also have the problem of insufficient competitiveness.

In Li Hao's heart, TVB can slowly stop signing actors and let these actors compete in the mainland.

Of course, it is also necessary to open up the road for TVB actors to develop in the mainland to avoid trouble.

As for those who are old, they are counted as old.

A few days later, TVB officially announced that it would start delisting and announce internal reforms.

And Haotian Media's TV series, movies, and animations also continue to appear on TVB.

Some actors intend to go north, and Li Hao has built a channel to go north.

But first of all, there is a requirement, and Mandarin communication is no problem.

After all, it is in the mainland, and Mandarin must be able to communicate.

For a while, TVB set off a boom in Mandarin learning, but anyone with some ambitions wanted to develop in the mainland.

In fact, the difference between the salaries of the two is too big!

Charmaine Sheh's salary in the mainland, one or two episodes is equivalent to the sum of an entire TV series in Xiangjiang.

Cai Shaofen, the salary of one episode of "The Legend of Zhen Huan" is several times the salary in Xiangjiang!

These are no secrets.
