Start from 1980

Chapter 688 Disaster Star
Huang Xizhao, male, senior TV personality, executive director and general manager of Li's TV, the predecessor of Phoenix TV.

There are a group of cutting-edge and flexible subordinates, and they are capable in their work. After the company reorganized its personnel arrangements in 77, it began to brew a strategy to block wireless.

Leading a group of people to invent the use of long-form dramas to play variety shows, and put "Crocodile Tears" at 9 o'clock to 10 o'clock to play the famous variety show "Happy Tonight" on TVB, which made "Happy Tonight" lose steadily.

In 1979, the unit program was played at 8-9 o'clock, TVB collapsed and cut all the unit dramas, and in a short period of time, all the big-name TVB stars Zheng Shaoqiu, Zhao Yazhi, Wang Mingquan, etc. were gathered to shoot "Chu Liuxiang" to challenge.

In 1980, the "Earth Grace" series written and directed by Xu Xiaoming and others was arranged at 7 o'clock to 8 o'clock, which was used to play wireless "Jade Theater", which caused the "Jade Theater" to close down.

Since then, there has been no Emerald Theater.

Zheng Shaoqiu and Zheng Yuling's long drama "Turn Around" was also cut in half, and Xie Xian's "The King of Thousand Kings" can only be used to counterattack.

In 81, TVB's "Dragon and Tiger Overlords" was beaten to pieces again. Under the attack of Li's overwhelmingly powerful feature-length drama series, TVB had been beaten to the point of being powerless to fight back.

However, Li's parent company fails to invest and sells it to the Australian Gang, which makes things change again.

After Li TV was acquired by an Australian consortium, the general manager Huang Xizhao first led a strike and then resigned. His subordinates Xiao Ruoyuan and Huang Tailai also resigned and left.

Xu Xiaoming also made his own choice to stay in the company and follow Boss Qiu, but Su Chen bought ATV from Boss Qiu again.

Facing Xu Xiaoming's suggestion.

Su Chen only thought for ten seconds before making a decision: "Yes, no matter Mr. Huang Xizhao, Li Zhaoxiong, Tu Yongxiong, as long as they are willing to return to Phoenix Terrace, I welcome them all."

After thinking for a while, he said: "Well, I will invite them in my name. I originally wanted to meet with them in person, but I don't have so much time. You can greet them for me first, and I will return to Hong Kong when I am free. , I will personally invite them to have a meal together."

"thank you boss."

……

After receiving Su Chen's reply, Xu Xiaoming quickly came up with an answer to deal with IFPI's copyright dispute.

Phoenix TV reached an agreement with IFPI: a one-time payment of 800 million Hong Kong dollars for copyright disputes, and promised to abide by the Universal Copyright Convention, and will not infringe and use other companies' music works in the future.

As soon as the news came out, Fang Yihua from the radio station was so angry that he almost smashed the phone.

Because the wireless station's revenue this year is not very good, and it may be crushed by Phoenix Satellite TV at any time.

With Su Chen's support, Phoenix TV has spent a lot of money in production and other aspects, and it has overwhelmed Wireless, which has always been thrifty.

Of course, Boss Shao is not stingy. He personally donated tens of millions of money to the mainland. It is only his business philosophy that he is unwilling to spend money in a certain way.

Originally, I thought it would take three or four million yuan to get this done, but Phoenix TV, with its deep pockets, gave it 400 million yuan.

It is absolutely impossible for a wireless station to agree to this price.

Because this price has far exceeded Boss Shao's bottom line, how could it be possible to negotiate?
Xu Xiaoming is also an old silver coin. When he disclosed this news to the public, he also cheated the wireless station, making them in a dilemma.

And Hu Weili is an open-minded person. Hearing that Phoenix TV is going to court, he expressed his willingness to use his score for free for Phoenix TV.

This made Teacher Su almost laugh from ear to ear.

But the wireless station is sour.

There are still such fools in the world?
"Sixth Brother, what should we do now?" Fang Yihua looked at Boss Shao.

Boss Shao was also very helpless. He felt that after he met Su Chen, his years began to be unlucky. Not only the movie market was disturbed by this bastard, but even the TV series was not spared.

If it doesn't move, it will scare people to death.

Take out a few million casually, how rich is this f*ck?
"Get ready to file a lawsuit." Boss Shao quickly came up with an idea, "Even if you spend three or four million yuan in legal fees to fight a stupid lawsuit, you can't let the record association extort 400 million yuan."

"Okay." Fang Yihua had no choice but to do as he said.

Boss Shao asked again: "What's the origin of the person who took out the sheet music at Phoenix Stage?"

"He's from mainland China. He wrote us a letter of recommendation before, but I don't know why he hasn't come for an interview."

Fang Yihua had clearly inquired about the situation a long time ago, "I heard that Su Chen from Shengshi Holdings personally invited him. His name is Hu Weili. He is a very famous composer in mainland China. I guess he has something to do with Su."

Boss Shao also agreed with this statement, because Su Chen himself is a mainlander.

Maybe they came to seek refuge with Su Chen.

It's just that this guy really got a big deal now.

At this time, TVB's backyard was on fire. Not only were there copyright disputes, but the artists under the banner were also making all kinds of noises, which made Fang Yihua's brain ache.

All kinds of troubles were mixed together, which not only made Fang Yihua physically and mentally exhausted, but also almost had a heart attack several times.

And these things are all related to Phoenix TV.

Boss Shao sighed several times: What is wrong with Shengshi Holdings?

If you want to develop movies, you have to work hard on movies. As a result, this movie company has just made a movie, and it jumped out and said that it would help establish such and other associations, and the filmmakers listened to him.

But this guy is still not satisfied, jumping up and down everywhere, just like a lunatic or a disaster star, doing things here and there, but can still achieve results.

After finishing the movie, he came to the TV world to make trouble again.

Are you crazy?
Compared with TVB, Phoenix TV makes the actors dissatisfied, especially when it always restricts its artists to take films outside.

Good guy, isn't this a way of breaking people's fortunes?

Therefore, many TVB first-line artists most want to change jobs, because these people cannot receive advertisements, and due to TVB's restrictions, they receive very few movie appointments, and earn thousands of dollars a month after working hard.

But at this time, Hong Kong films are entering an opportunity for prosperity and development, and these people naturally want to get rid of them as soon as possible, so as to take a chance in the tide of Hong Kong films.

If there is no Phoenix Terrace, maybe these people can bear it.

But Phoenix TV doesn't do this, because all the actors of Phoenix TV are signed artists of Shengshi Brokerage Company.

Actors can make whatever film they want to make.

It's okay for a popular TV star to move to the big screen, as long as he discusses it with his agent and company.

But if you delay filming a TV series because of filming, then I'm sorry, your job has been robbed.

Although the competition among artists in Shengshi is also very fierce, the key is that they can accept commercials, TV series and movies freely.

The banknotes are like flowing water, rushing into the pockets.

That ostentatious attitude made the people in the wireless station envious.

So TVB's old actors started to move around. If there was no contract to restrain them, they would probably have left their jobs already, and the TV station couldn't stop them at all.

What Boss Shao and Fang Yihua couldn't accept the most was that Shengshi Media began to send talents to Hollywood again.

But they can bear it, after all, they have this condition.

What makes Fang Yihua speechless about Shengshi is that it doesn't matter what grievances you have with the wireless station, as long as you are willing to join Shengshi, as long as you are valuable, Shengshi is willing to pay you for liquidated damages.

So Andy Lau and Lan Jieying, who were blocked by wireless, all went to Shengshi, including Wu Wanfang, who was also in contact with Shengshi.

Now filmmakers in the entire Hong Kong film market are staring at Shengshi, and even actors from many film companies are also in contact with Shengshi, wanting to join.

Saatchi Media is like a vigorous young man, while TVB is like an octogenarian.

The identities of the two are completely different in just one year.

Fang Yihua felt powerless.

"Ugh!"

Only a sigh.

The surname Su is crazy.

……

When Su Chen came to Tseung Kwan O, just as Shengshi Media moved in, one after another bus drove in, and batch after batch of people got off the bus.

There are staff and entertainers.

"Look, is that Mr. Su?"

A girl who just got out of the car suddenly called out.
