Rebirth of Hong Kong - 1978

Chapter 2004 Separation of Production and Broadcasting
"Mr. Li is really a trustworthy person."

Holding the TV station license issued by Li Zhengnan in his hand to admire, the smile on Wu Chou's face couldn't stop at all.

Even Zhou Linggang next to him was taken aback when he first heard the news.

This is the first private TV station in Baodao, and Lin Daoqiu really got it, which really made him feel admirable.

"Now that the license has been obtained, the procedures on the surface still need to go through. Wang Daonan said that the result of their internal discussions is that foreign capital can only account for half at most."

This point is no different from the previous life. Lin Daoqiu did not expect to be able to open a wholly-owned TV station in Baodao.

After all, I don't know how many people are jealous of this thing. It is impossible for Li Zhengnan to take such a big risk to hand over such benefits to himself.

"What does Mr. Lin mean?"

Although Wu Chou asked this question, he already guessed what Lin Daoqiu was going to say next.

"You will serve as the executive director of Oriental TV Station, and you will get [-]% of the TV station's shares."

"Thank you Mr. Lin."

Lin Daoqiu did not allocate half of the shares to Wu Chou, because it was obviously impossible.

After all, it is impossible to start a TV station if Wu Chou and Zhou Linggang rely solely on it, so he has to recruit local people.

Wu Chou never thought about taking charge of this TV station, he only had some experience in making movies before, but he had never worked in a TV station.

If Lin Daoqiu really handed over the TV station to him to operate, it is estimated that Wu Chou would not dare to take the job casually.

So for him, he is satisfied to get [-]% of the TV station's shares.

But Zhou Linggang next to him didn't get anything, and Wu Chou didn't dare to ask Lin Daoqiu directly why he didn't give Zhou Linggang some.

"The first priority of Dongshi in Baodao is to separate production and broadcasting."

Lin Daoqiu said a term that Wu Chou didn't quite understand.

"In the past, whether it was filming TV stations or producing variety shows, etc., the people in the station were fully responsible, but Dongshi will launch a new initiative in Baodao..."

"The production of part of the production content, such as TV dramas and variety shows, is handed over to outside companies, and the TV station is only responsible for paying for the purchase. This is the separation of production and broadcasting."

Lin Daoqiu's explanation was easy to understand, and Wu Chou immediately understood it.

"Mr. Zhou is good at producing TV dramas, so I hope you can set up a production company to produce excellent TV dramas for Dongshi."

Lin Daoqiu did not give Zhou Linggang a share in Dongshi, but he gave him another benefit, which was to let him set up a film and television drama production company, and Dongshi paid for the TV series he made.

This kind of situation is a bit like an internal supply situation. Zhou Linggang doesn't need to worry that the TV series he shoots won't be sold, and he doesn't need to worry about the funding issue.

"Please rest assured, Mr. Lin, I will get this matter settled as soon as possible."

Zhou Lingang had already established a Feiteng Film Business Co., Ltd. before, and now he only needs to change the name of this company.

"Although I want to promote the separation of production and broadcasting, this does not mean that the TV station has to give up all production work. According to the ratio, it should be [-]% self-made and [-]% outsourced."

Lin Daoqiu: If all the TV station's production business is entrusted to outside companies, then they will probably be controlled by outside production companies, so they must maintain a certain proportion of self-control.

Especially in some news and talk shows, these cannot be produced by outsiders, after all, they are in control.

"Mr. Lin is worried that the high proportion of outsourcing will affect the TV station itself?"

"Mr. Zhou is right. The separation of production and broadcasting is basically to streamline the personnel costs of the TV station and reduce production costs, but if it is done too far, the TV station will have no people who can do things, which is not good."

How to grasp this speed Lin Daoqiu has already given the answer just now, that is, a ratio of eight to two should be the best.

"In addition to Mr. Zhou's company, I also hope that more capable people can work for Dongshi."

It is basically impossible to rely on Zhou Linggang alone. Dongshi must form its own production team on Baodao and find a few more production companies to cooperate with. Just thinking about these things makes Lin Daoqiu feel a headache .

Fortunately, there is still a long time now, at least half a year is left for Lin Daoqiu to prepare, so it is not difficult for Lin Daoqiu to finish these things in this half year.

It's just that he's going back to Xiangjiang tomorrow, because there are still many things waiting for him there, so Wu Chou and Zhou Linggang can only be in charge of Baodao's affairs for the time being.

"I hope that the two of you can help me find some TV production talents during this period of time. It will be a great achievement to invite them to East TV."

Although Wu Chou has never worked in a TV station, it shouldn't be difficult for him to find someone who can do it.

Lin Daoqiu believed that those people would not refuse such a good thing as long as they offered generous conditions to the other party.

"For poaching people, we can only go to Lao Santai's side now, but I believe that as long as the conditions are good enough, they should turn over."

Wu Chou is very confident about this, it seems that he can't wait to implement the plan of poaching corners.

"Don't go too far. The third station is very powerful. If we fall out with them, it will definitely not be of any benefit to us, so remember not to cause trouble."

Lin Daoqiu believes that with Wu Chou's ability, he should not be able to offend those people in Lao Santai.

But once he starts poaching the other party's talents, it will definitely cause dissatisfaction from the people on the third side.

Even though Dongshi is a TV station signed and approved by Li Zhengnan, Lin Daoqiu doesn't think that if something happens to the TV station, Li Zhengnan will stand up and speak for him, and I'm afraid he will have to solve it by himself.

"Mr. Lin, please don't worry, I am still very measured in my work. Don't worry, I will spend all my energy on finding excellent talents during this time, and I will definitely not let you down."

Wu Chou patted his chest and assured Lin Daoqiu that although he still didn't understand the separation of production and broadcasting that Lin Daoqiu said just now, for him, as long as the TV station is in operation, his next income will be greatly increased.

Moreover, a TV station is a long-term business that can be operated for many years. Compared with other businesses, it is obviously safer to start a TV station.
