Rebirth: The Era of Hong Kong Tycoon

Chapter 230 [Copyright]

On August 8, Asia Television's "The Voice of Hong Kong" was officially broadcast. The first stage of the broadcast was to enter the top 1 out of 100, that is, each of the four mentors selected 48 students, and it was divided into 12 episodes of the program.

When it was broadcast that night, many viewers were drawn in one after another and became loyal viewers of the program.

When the students came to the stage, they did a simple pick-up and drop-off, and then the screen turned to the off-site recording beforehand: the students expressed their love for music, some students made a lot of sacrifices in pursuit of music, and some students pursued musicians very much. Some students’ families are financially poor. (The sensational part), this section should be kept within 3 minutes.

Then, the students began to sing formally, and the time was also within 3 minutes. During the singing, the four instructors turned their backs to the students, only listening to their voices, not seeing them, to express the meaning of the program-to find a good voice.

If the instructor is satisfied, he taps a button, and the chair starts to turn (invisible and artificial), indicating that the instructor has chosen the student; if multiple instructors choose the same student, the student chooses the instructor.

Needless to say, the audience that night all applauded and were personally involved.

The next day, all of Hong Kong began to discuss "The Voice of Hong Kong", which also indicates that the ratings of the next program will continue to rise.

On the same day, Liang Shuyi reported the statistical ratings to Lin Rongheng. The ratings of 50% broke the highest record of Asian TV stations, and this was only a preliminary round, and there will be finals and finals later.

Lin Rongheng convened a group of high-level executives and said: "Very good, it seems that we have won a phased victory! We will hold a large-scale program every year in the future. This year is "The Voice of Hong Kong", and next year it will be "Miss Asia Contest". Large-scale programs only need to be planned Well, not only can it bring ratings and economic benefits, but it can also bring us talents.”

Sylvia Leung reported: "The production cost of "The Voice of Hong Kong" this year is 200 million Hong Kong dollars, and the current advertising fee has returned 180 million Hong Kong dollars. The subsequent advertisements for the finals have not yet attracted investment. It is expected to benefit about 50 Hong Kong dollars by then, which is already considered small. There is profit. If the next "The Voice of Hong Kong" is held, then the advertising profit will be very high."

Lin Rongheng said: "Next time, the overseas copyright and broadcast of "The Voice of Hong Kong" will be the big ones; your production team should improve the system and explore a more complete model. In the future, we can even sell the copyright to European and American TV stations. We are The grandfather of the music talent show, American TV stations and European TV stations will buy copyrights from us in the future."

Lin Rongheng remembers that the Voice of China in his previous life bought the copyrights of countries such as "Voice of Holland" and "Voice of Germany". Now that Asia TV has started music talent shows in the 70s, wouldn't it be possible to buy many copyrights in the future!
When everyone thinks about it, this is really the case. As long as this program is done well, the profits can be said to be rolling in.

At this time, everyone remembered that the reason why this program was produced so perfectly in two or three months is that the boss provided a complete process for everyone, and everyone's credit is only for perfecting some details.

Liang Shuyi said: "Yes, boss! I will sign a long-term contract with this production team, and we will work on some new creations together to prepare for "The Voice of Hong Kong" in the next year."

Lin Rongheng nodded. The next "The Voice of Hong Kong" will be selected globally, and its influence will be greatly improved at that time. I am afraid that European and American TV stations will also pay attention.

"Remember to consult a lawyer about copyright issues!"

"Well! We are already discussing with our partner law firm."

Next, Liang Shuyi reported to a number of overseas TV stations about the introduction of "Book, Sword, Enmity and Enmity". Lin Rongheng nodded secretly. It seems that it is very worthwhile to dig Zheng Shaoqiu and Wang Mingquan.

When Zheng Shaoqiu starred in ATV's "Sword of Enmity and Enmity", he was not considered a martial arts niche. He was a TVB singer by profession, so the contract matter was easily resolved, and he lost money; It only cost less than 200 million Hong Kong dollars, but it is undoubtedly a huge sum in this era.

Zheng Shaoqiu only earns 10,000+ Hong Kong dollars a year in TVB. Seeing that Asia TV directly offered a signing bonus of 50 Hong Kong dollars, and was tempted by three major productions, he quickly agreed; Wang Mingquan also made a signing bonus of 3 Hong Kong dollars. Promised 30 major production female lead roles, but Wang Mingquan worked in TVB as emcee.

It can be said that both of them are just emerging in TVB, and they haven't made much achievements in drama series. If it is two or three years later, it will be very difficult for Asian TV to poach them.

Asia Television brandished a silver hoe and dug up a large group of TVB people, but Run Run Shaw remained steadfast.

According to the thinking of outsiders, Asia TV is a 'silver bullet' with a total amount of funds, and it is not a wholly-owned company of Lin Rongheng. , With a small amount of money, you can resist the poaching behavior of Asian TV; after all, many actors still prefer to cooperate with the old TV station TVB.

But Shao Lao Liu doesn't think so, offering a high salary to keep people is tantamount to bloodletting on him--Shao Lao Liu has brought the frugal style of Shaw Films to Wireless; They want [-] when they get [-], and even more want [-] when they get [-]. This cannot satisfy their greed.

Shao Laoliu wouldn't think about it: he had [-] million and wanted [-] million, and with [-] million he wanted [-] billion.

At present, the ratings of Asia TV seem to be rising sharply, and there is a situation of sharing the world with Shaw Brothers. In fact, there is also a big security risk, that is, the ratings are driven by money; just like the Asia TV in the 90s in the previous life, watching It seems to be evenly matched with Wireless Dou, but the annual loss is as high as tens of millions. In 1991, the loss was even as high as 3 million Hong Kong dollars, and it cannot be profitable for a long time.

In order not to follow the old path of Asian TV stations, Lin Rongheng must consider this issue in advance, that is, to pay attention to copyright income and advertising income; The signing fee and liquidated damages of 200 million Hong Kong dollars were spent, but the follow-up "Yi Tian Tu Long Ji" and "Chu Liu Xiang" were all popular series in Asia in the previous life, so this deal did not lose money, and it was still a big profit.

If it weren't for Lin Rongheng, a time traveler, even if the TV station poached people, it might not be the right one, and it would cause a large deficit.

Recently, Lin Rongheng asked Asia TV to pay attention to the issue of Chow Yun-wah's contract. This time, when trying to poach people, they should not pay liquidated damages; Chow Yun-fat's current contract will end just in 1977, and the poaching will be one year ahead of time, so that Asia TV can prepare for "Shanghai Bund". .

With Adam Cheng and Chow Run Wah's serials, Asian TV will not lag behind in drama series in the past five years, and will make a lot of money.

As for programs, Lin Rongheng still has many classic variety shows. Although these programs appeared more than ten years or even 20 years in advance, there is no time limit. Made it at the beginning.The copyright fee for this program is probably enough to support Asia TV for more than five years.
