Hong Kong's new giants

Chapter 256 [Forty-six opening]

mid-December.

81 Broadcast Drive, ATV Building.

In the conference room, a group of directors and core executives are having a meeting.

Today's ATV has more than 1500 employees in total, and this number is still increasing. It can be seen that with the support of Zheng Yutong and Lin Zuhui, Zhou Liang Shuyi really opened up the water.

The chief executive of ATV is Selina Chow, the assistant chief executive is Li Peiquan, and the director is Zhao Zhenqiang; these three people are not from ATV before. Jump over here.

Selina Chow is a talent. ATV employees commented on her: "Others are capable of doing both, but she is able to do both."

ATV singer Cass lost to TVB, so she bought the copyright and often played audio discs of Taiwanese and Western singers to compete with TVB.

Of course, her greatest achievement is to block TVB's signature dish "Happy Tonight".

Wireless has many signature dishes, among which "Happy Tonight" has the greatest impact and longest lifespan.After Selina Chow was in charge, at the same time as "Happy Tonight", she opened "The Third Degree Theater", which only shows intense, exciting, gunpowder, and bloody movies; It's all in a mess.

Selina Chow reported: "Currently, with many eye-catching programs, we can probably form a 3:7 situation with TVB in terms of ratings. Among them, the two programs "Awarded Men" and "Big Times" are leading at the same time. on wireless TV."

After the report, Zheng Yutong could see the joy on his face at a glance, and said: "Okay, that's what we have to do! TVB has monopolized the broadcasting industry in Hong Kong for many years, and we fought for an equal share."

In the past, ATV and TVB's ratings could only be 1:9 or 2:9; now that the new consortium has taken over ATV for half a year, it has achieved such a result, no wonder Cheng Yutong is so happy.

He is a layman, and he only saw the increase in ratings, but did not see the increase in financial pressure.Perhaps in the view of the Zheng family, it is very cost-effective to lose [-] million yuan a year (split down) and get an ATV.

But Lin Zuhui is different, he has higher requirements, that is to make a profit!
Although it is said that ATV is losing money, he has DreamWorks to fill it in, but it is money after all!
Lin Zuhui took Zheng Yutong's words and said seriously: "Although the ratings have increased, we also have to see serious financial losses."

Everyone looked serious, looking at Lin Zuhui, thinking in their hearts, could this boss be stingy?

He went on to say: "I hope the company pays more attention to efficiency and mobilizes everyone's enthusiasm. For example, if we recruit a TVB artist, we need to organize a team to plan his star career, TV series, movies, and singing. As long as he has Talent, we have to cultivate it seriously, this is called flattery. Instead of using it when you need it, and throwing it aside when you don’t need it, otherwise others will return to wireless sooner or later.”

To put it bluntly, it is to be used as a slave, not to let the artist idle!

Zhou Liang Shuyi nodded quickly and said, "Okay, I will work more on this."

In fact, it is difficult for ATV to surpass TVB in terms of TV dramas. TVB produces more than [-] TV dramas a year, which is still very difficult to surpass.Not just in quantity produced, but also in quality.

Zheng's father and son also nodded straightly. From their point of view, Zhou Liang Shuyi is the main soldier in the battle between the two armies, while Lin Zuhui is the surprise soldier, and the key to victory or defeat lies in the surprise soldier.

In fact, Lin Zuhui did not disappoint everyone, and started to say: "Recently, a friend chatted with me and made a plan for me. I think the idea is very good. Today is the core management of ATV. Staff officer, make this idea for me."

He said it was produced, not whether it could be produced, which means that the show has been finalized.

Everyone's eyes lit up, looking at Lin Zuhui!
ATV's current achievements are certainly due to Selina Chow, but people from ATV believe that she only accounts for [-]% because whoever spends money won't spend; the key is due to the boss, Mr. Lin Zuhui, who hand-picked two programs to turn TVB's arrogance into reality. He pressed down hard.

Seeing that everyone was ready to record, Lin Zuhui nodded inwardly. With his own knowledge, he can beat people of this era.

"This program is called "Who is a Millionaire". We take out 100 million as a bonus and invite contestants to answer the questions. Contestants need to correctly answer 15 consecutive multiple-choice questions, and if they can answer all of them correctly, they will be able to Get a huge bonus - 100 million Hong Kong dollars. Do you think this gimmick is attractive?"

All the high-level officials nodded, they thought to themselves, it's not just a temptation, even they can't help but want to participate in the competition!
Zheng Yutong couldn't help asking: "Is this bonus easy to get? If it's easy to get, the TV station can't stand it; if it's not easy to get it, I'm afraid it will be scolded!"

Lin Zuhui smiled and said: "Uncle Tong, don't worry, listen to me! There are 10 contestants in each episode, and they have to go through the fast and accurate part first. After passing the fast and accurate part, the winners will be led by the host to the Sit down in the center of the video studio and start answering 15 multiple-choice questions with one of four choices. The questions go from shallow to deep, and the rewards for each correct answer will increase. Of course, we must set a safety line. Among the 15 questions, the fifth and Question 5 have a 'safety line'."

Everyone listened fascinatedly, and Lin Zuhui became more and more excited as he spoke!
Historically, it took three years for the British TV team to produce this program.

Now, Lin Zuhui has basically spoken out, and it is estimated that half a year will be enough.

After Lin Zuhui finished speaking, everyone couldn't help applauding.

The executives are all thinking that making a program requires a huge team, and it may take several months to conceive before it can be fruited. Fortunately, the boss's friend has produced and conceived a nearly complete program.

Zhou Liang Shuyi said excitedly: "Boss, where is your friend? Can you let him join our team, even if he is a consultant!"

This woman is more or less ignorant!

Lin Zuhui waved his hand and said, "Others are not short of money when they are abroad! If the idea is good, give me a bonus later, I don't think it's too much!"

Zheng Yutong immediately said: "It should be given! Both "Awarded Men" and "Big Times" were conceived by DreamWorks, and they were given together, according to the high standards of this industry. Did the president hear that?"

"Yes, Uncle Tong!"

Lin Zuhui smiled, he has already contributed four programs, so it doesn't matter if he gets some.

"After listening to this program, I also think it is very good! Therefore, I emphasize here that all high-level executives must pay attention to confidentiality. I can tell you responsibly that this program may sell dozens of copyrights around the world. From my personal Look at it with your own eyes!" Lin Zuhui emphasized again.

Damn, in fact, I'm still a bit at a loss. The global copyright of "Who Is a Millionaire" may be hundreds of millions.

Everyone concentrated their spirits, and they all had incredible expressions.But when they thought of Lin Zuhui's vision, everyone began to believe in it again.

"Vice Chairman, don't worry!"

He will feel relieved, and then said: "In terms of the layout of the environment and the technological level of the props of this show, I require you to achieve the world's high level! Half a year's preparation is too late, and we only have one year. Anyone who joins the preparation team , all signed a non-disclosure agreement. This program will be our ATV's nuclear weapon, once it is revealed, everyone will understand!"

Immediately, these people were fooled. Fortunately, today are the core executives, including Zheng's father and son and Lin Zuhui. A total of eight people attended the meeting.

Back in Zheng Yutong's office, Lin Zuhui chatted with Zheng's father and son.

It can be said that if the two cooperate well on ATV, the relationship will be a hardcore alliance.

In the previous life, Zheng Yutong and Lin Baixin were good friends at first, and the two had a good relationship, and they had cooperated many times in real estate; but on ATV, the two parties still had conflicts.

Because at the beginning, Zheng Yutong was in charge and served as the chairman of the board of directors.But after more than two years of operation, Lin Baixin was a little dissatisfied, saying that ATV did not open "HSBC Bank", implying that Cheng Yutong did not control Selina Chow well and spent too much money.

Zheng Yutong had no choice but to sell 20% of the shares to Lin Baixin and give up the position to Lin Baixin.As a result, when Lin Baixin came to the stage, he found that the business could not continue without turning on the water hose, so he continued with dancing and music.

"You still have a way, otherwise Zhou Liang Shuyi only knows how to spend money, and the effect is no match for Wireless. It can only be said that she can barely handle it." Zheng Yutong praised.

Lin Zuhui was still very satisfied with Zhou Liang Shuyi. If he was a surprise soldier, Zhou Liang Shuyi, a regular soldier, would have to restrain the enemy.She is the kind of person who has been keeping an eye on the TVB music scene. For example, if a TVB singer is not happy in TVB, whose contract expires, who has a grudge with the producer, etc., she keeps watching. Just pounce on people.

"It depends on her, a few programs can only be surprise soldiers!" Lin Zuhui said modestly.

At this time, Zheng Jiachun asked: "Is it really difficult to get the prize money for "Who Is a Millionaire?"

Lin Zuhui said with a smile: "It should be difficult, probably only one or two a year, maybe not yet!"

Zheng Yutong said: "It should be like this, otherwise it would be meaningless! After all, there are bonuses for the fifth level, the tenth level, and the No.12 level. It's so much fun!"

After chatting for a while, everyone was not in the mood to stay in Wireless anymore!Whether it's Zheng's father and son, or Lin Zuhui, they are all real estate developers in essence, and ATV is just an addition.But because of its influence and value in the communication industry, both parties are a little serious.

The annual profit of TVB is more than 2 million, but its value is nearly 20 billion. Referring to the purchase of more than 20% of TVB shares by Benda Group for more than [-] billion, we can know the importance and value of TV stations.

For Lin Zuhui, even if ATV does not earn a penny, he will be very satisfied as long as he can score 4:6 with TVB.Of course, it's not a temporary 4:6, but a constant 4:6.

Therefore, recently he is preparing again, preparing to poach Liming and Aaron Kwok, the four future kings, to ATV.

At this time, the two of them happened to belong to the third-tier Xiaoka, so they dug them here and cultivated them.

On the contrary, Liu Dehua and Jacky Cheung have already received TVB's attention, so there is no way to attract people.
