The King of Directors 2000

Chapter 539
"The head of TVB has changed hands, and Lee Sheung-yew has become the new big boss of TVB."

"Another important part of Lee Sheung-yew's business empire, TVB is a TV station that can be broadcast around the world."

"The government of Hong Kong welcomes Lee Sheng-yew's investment in TVB, saying that this is a close integration of the two places."

"With a 100 billion transaction, Lee Sheng-yao shines on Hong Kong Island."

"Liu Dehua: I believe Director Li can make TVB more brilliant."

"Lee Seung-yew: Will not change TVB's production model, will not lay off employees, and will find new development directions for TVB actors and production teams."

"Fat Li: I don't think this is appropriate. Hong Kong Island is a global city. It should welcome more foreign capital to invest instead of people from the mainland."

"Wu Wenhui: TVB has a very excellent production team, and we are confident that TVB will be relisted."

……

After Li Shengyao negotiated with Fong Yihua and Run Run Shaw, he did not immediately disclose the news that he wanted to buy TVB to the outside world. Instead, he immediately called Wu Wenhui and asked him to borrow 100 billion as quickly as possible to buy TVB.

Wu Wenhui understood the importance of TVB and quickly prepared the loan.

About a week later, TVB was the first to leak the news, and the news immediately exploded in the Hong Kong media.

Li Zekai has wanted to buy TVB many times since the turn of the millennium.

Yang Guoqiang of Country Garden also wants to buy TVB.

They all want to use TVB to spread their voices in Hong Kong Island and enhance their voice.

As a result, as the TV station with the best ratings and the largest number of regular viewers in Hong Kong Island, Run Run Shaw was not sold to Li Zekai, Yang Guoqiang, or passed on to future generations. Instead, it was sold to Li Shengyao.

The media speculated whether Lee Sheng Yew had spent a lot of money, and news broke that he had acquired a 100% stake in TVB for only RMB 29 billion, and a piece of land in Repulse Bay worth RMB 30 billion.

Everyone felt that Run Run Shaw was being sold cheaply.

A reporter asked Fang Yihua why he sold it to Li Shengyao.

"Brother Six and I both hope that TVB can always be the pride of Hong Kong Island and the favorite TV station of the people of Hong Kong Island. We chose Director Li because we believe in his talent. He can lead TVB and make TVB the most popular TV station in Hong Kong Island forever." Shining stars.”

As soon as the words came out, the doubters could only smile bitterly and shut up.

Li Zekai has no choice. Director Li has indeed proved his talent. Whether it is a variety show, a TV series, or a movie, whether it requires commerciality or artistry, Li Shengyao can handle it all.

If TVB is gradually declining, who is most likely to save TVB, then this person must be Lee Sheng-yew.

After all, Li Shengyao owns Fenghua Video, and he can help TVB sell TV series.

And he also has a large production team, who can help TVB innovate and innovate themes.

Fang Yihua's words stopped many people from questioning.

After serious discussion, Lee Sheng Yew's team planned to hold a large banquet to invite all TVB employees to meet the big boss Lee Sheng Yew. It would be a coronation ceremony, and Lee Sheng Yew's power would officially enter TVB.

……

At 2011 pm on November 11, 13, Li Shengyao, dressed in suits and leather shoes, brought Wu Wenhui and several Fenghua senior executives to the Victoria Hotel.

He was still directing dramas during the day, until he became the new big boss of TVB.

Liu Dehua and Liang Jiahui were filled with emotion and immediately congratulated Li Shengyao.

The other mainland actors and his film crew were naturally even happier.

The actors respected Lee Sung-yew even more, which made the filming of "Parasite" go faster.

Lee Sung-yew expects to complete on-set filming by the end of next month.

At this time, Li Shengyao rushed to the banquet hall and found that there were reporters squatting outside, at least 80 to [-] people, taking pictures in the cold wind.

The TVB staff had already arrived.

In addition to people from TVB, slightly famous artists from Hong Kong also came here, whether they were singers, actors, directors or models.

The banquet hall could accommodate thousands of people. When Li Shengyao arrived, the scene was quiet for a while, and everyone looked over.

No matter what you think in your heart, you have a look of respect on your face.

Zhang Mo and Bi Gan had already passed by.

Seeing this scene, Zhang Mo couldn't help but think of his father.

When Lao Mouzi was the chief director of the Olympic Games, he directed tens of thousands of people to rehearse the art performances. It can be said that he held a high position of authority.

But everyone knows that Lao Mouzi is a worker just like them. They just work with Lao Mouzi, and Lao Mouzi does not pay them.

But TVB employees are different. Lee Sheng Yew is the one who really pays them.

Many artists and stars on Hong Kong Island have no market or stage in the mainland, so they also rely on TVB for food.

It can be said that Lee Sheng Yew is now No. 1 in the entertainment industry power list in Hong Kong. Yang Shoucheng and Lin Jianyu are not enough to watch in front of Lee Sheng Yew.

The start of movie production at Yinghuang and Universal will only benefit 300 people.

TVB, on the other hand, has more than 4000 employees and hundreds of famous artists.

"Director Li is the real boss of the Chinese entertainment industry."

Naturally, people from TVB had already made arrangements. Fang Yihua’s assistant, Jessica, led a group of 60- and [-]-year-old people to greet him first.

"Boss, this is the director of the News Department of Jade Channel. His name is Yang Guanmin. This is the director of the Film and Television Production Department of Jade Channel..."

Jessica introduced all the senior executives of Jade Channel, Pearl Channel, and TVBS.

Li Shengyao had promised long ago that there would be no major personnel changes. At this time, he was also affable, shaking hands with all his subordinates one by one, and taking the initiative to introduce Wu Wenhui and others.

After chatting with TVB executives for 10 minutes, Jessica led another group of people over to see Lee Sheng Yew.

This is a group of young girls aged [-] or [-]. To be honest, there are very few high-quality beauties, but the advantage is youth.

A beautiful girl with breakable skin and full of collagen. Just looking at her makes you feel good.

"Boss, they are members of the current TVB artist training class. They are all young girls. They are all well-behaved. They all want to meet you."

TVB has always had artist training classes. In its early years, it trained Andy Lau, Leung Ka Hui, and Leung Chaowei. It can be said that they are famous throughout China Entertainment.

However, as TVB gradually declined, artist training classes gradually lost their previous edge.

Lee Sheng-yew feels that the main reason is that the living standards of Hong Kong Islanders have improved, and handsome boys and girls do not necessarily want to be entertainers, which has led to the poor quality of Hong Kong Island artists.

Starting next year, Lee Sheng Yew will arrange for this TVB artist training class to recruit students throughout the Greater Bay Area.

"Hello boss, I'm your fan."

"Hello boss, you are so young. Are you 25 years old?"

"Boss, there are still a lot of things I don't understand about my performance. I want to improve."

The beauties all speak Mandarin, which is not very standard, but they are full of sincerity. They wear relatively little, are rich and generous.

Li Shengyao lowered his flag slightly, smiled and nodded, maintaining the gentle image of a gentleman.

After these beauties left, Jessica led a group of more promiscuous young women over.

This group of women all wore heavy makeup and looked a little awkward, but they were more open and bold than the students in the training class just now.

The air conditioning in the banquet hall was about 22 degrees, which was actually a bit cold. However, all the women in the group had their thighs exposed, and several even had their shoulders and backs exposed.

Li Shengyao saw two people he knew, one was Wen Yongshan and the other was Zhou Xiuna. These two and Dabao Baobao made the three of them the pinnacle of young models in Hong Kong.

Da BaoBao has hooked up with Brother Xiao Ming and now goes to the Mainland to develop, while Chrissie Chau and Janice Man are still in Hong Kong Island.

"Boss, these are the most beautiful models in Hong Kong Island. There are some from Hong Kong Island, some from Wanwan, some Da Mao, and Er Mao. Annan, there are people from everywhere, and they all want to know you."

Li Shengyao felt that Jessica was like a madam at this time.

Why does everyone think he is a womanizer?
He planned to show off his Liu Xiahui side, without squinting his eyes, chatting with Wen Yongshan and the others for a few words, and then looked behind him.

"Boss, next are our TVB female artists, there are many pretty girls."

She Shiman, Xuan Xuan, Zhong Jiaxin and other TVB actresses immediately stepped forward.

There are very few truly beautiful girls in this group of TVB actresses, at least not as good looking as mainland actresses.

TVB's only beautiful actress, Gigi Lai, got married in recent years, which made Lee Sheng Yew not interested at all.

However, with Jessica's introduction, Li Shengyao got to know several female hosts. He found that these female hosts were pretty good, with good looks and good temperament, and were even higher than actresses.Hong Kong Island and the female host Wanwan have always been the best candidates for the daughter-in-law of the rich.

They like to find these girls who are articulate, highly educated, and good-looking.

Li Shengyao met several female hosts at this time, and found that after contacting them, he felt like a breath of fresh air, and the overall feeling was different.

Highly educated talented women do have flavor.

Jessica continued: "Boss, we have a group of people you will definitely like."

This time the actress doesn't need Jessica's introduction, just like she said, Li Shengyao will indeed like her.

In fact, [-]% of the men present had their eyes on these women.

Li Jiaxin, Zhu Yin, Qiu Shuzhen, Guan Zhiling, Liu Jialing, Zhou Huimin...

This group of beauties from the peak period of Hong Kong film and television are also here.

Li Jiaxin is basically out of sight now. She has lost a lot of weight, is older, does not have that much flesh on her face, and is not that good-looking.

Guan Zhiling is not in good condition. She doesn't look like someone who likes sports. She has fat on her belly.

Qiu Shuzhen's daughter is about to enter junior high school. She is a little less beautiful and a little more gentle.

To be honest, I really don’t blame Cao Cao for liking someone...his wife.

The one who is in the best and best condition is not Liu Jialing who is still active on the big screen, but Zhou Huimin.

Her face is slightly fatter, but still pretty.

Vivian Chow has recently been preparing for a concert in Hong Kong Island. She is in excellent overall condition. Although she is 44 years old, she is still very nice.

If she was not married, Lee Sheng Yew would go up and ask for her phone number.

It’s cheaper than Ni Gou.

Li Shengyao sighed secretly in his heart, but his face was calm and calm. He chatted with several sisters and did not respond to any impolite words or actions. That is, when shaking hands with Qiu Shuzhen and Zhou Huimin, he touched them for half a second.

After chatting with the beautiful sisters, Li Shengyao suddenly felt bored.

The same is true for Bi Gan, who has always paid attention to Li Shengyao.

Zhang Mo stood nearby, curled his lips and said disdainfully: "Haha, man."

Bi Gan glared at Zhang Mo and whispered, "That's Zhou Huimin. That's my dad's dream girl. She's the only common hobby between me and my dad."

Although he had no interest in the people behind him, Lee Sheng-yew still cheered up and met and chatted with TVB's male artists, male hosts, and some behind-the-scenes staff.

After two or three minutes, he would pat someone on the shoulder or arm.

"You are an indispensable talent for TVB. Together we will witness TVB becoming great again."

"Come on, work hard, and I'll give you a bonus at the end of the year."

"You are so handsome young people. Because of you, our company can be so outstanding."

After introducing all the artists and staff of TVB, Jessica left with the wine glass in hand.

Li Shengyao turned his head and locked onto Zhou Huimin in just [-] seconds.

He was about to find a seat to enjoy the little Jew, when Chen Kexin, Wu Yusen, Johnnie To and other Hong Kong directors came over to toast Lee Sheung-Yao.

"Director Li, please take good care of me in the future."

Wu Yusen looked at the young Li Shengyao and was filled with emotion.

A few years ago, he was jealous that Lee Sung-Yew's total box office exceeded him, and he wanted to compete with Lee Sing-Yew to see who was more successful in Hollywood.

As a result, he rushed back to Hollywood, but Lee Sheng-yew came back on his own initiative.

Every year, Hollywood companies invite Lee Sung-yew, but they refuse to go.

Not to mention it won the Palme d'Or in Cannes, and now it has TVB.

Although we all stand together, our status is very different.

Alas, I am getting old after all and there is no comparison.

After the directors, Cheng Long, Sammo Hung, and Yuen Biao passed by holding wine glasses.

Cheng Long's zodiac sign has not yet been finalized, so he flew here specially from Latvia.

"Director Li, congratulations."

The two not only collaborated on movies, they also purchased a theater in Tyrande together. It can be said that they have a close comrade-in-arms relationship.

Cheng Long is very happy that Li Shengyao can buy TVB.Since the Xiao Longnu incident, his reputation in Hong Kong has been very bad.

But after all, this is his hometown, and he still hopes that his reputation in Hong Kong Island will gradually improve.

Lee Sheung Yew won TVB, and he hopes to say good things to him.

Lee Sheng-yew chatted with Cheng Long and Sammo Hung for a while, and someone came to him again with a glass of wine. This time it was Eason Chan, Louis Koo, and Li Ketan.

TVB used to have special singing programs. At that time, TVB was more important to singers, and even Fei Fei would perform on TVB's Taipei Festival with a smile.

Later, the record market in Hong Kong got worse and worse, and TVB closed the singing program.

Relatively speaking, for Hong Kong singers, TVB is not as important as before.

However, there are no other TV stations on Hong Kong Island that can take action. Singers will ultimately have to rely on TVB to spread new songs.

Li Shengyao had little contact with singers, but these were his favorite singers, so they stood together and smiled and chatted.

Just when Li Shengyao felt that time was almost up and wanted to continue watching Vivian Chow, Jessica led a group of people over. Huo Qigang, Guo Jingjing, Li Zekai, Dong Changyuan... a group of heirs from big Hong Kong families came.

"Director Li, congratulations, you are in control of TVB. We all support and feel relieved."

Mr. Huo's consciousness is still very high.

Guo Jingjing looks better in real life than on TV. She is an athlete and has a different kind of charm.

Is Li Zekai a veteran?
This guy has been cheating on Lee Sheng-yao before, but Director Lee has not settled the score with him yet. He plans to clarify it after a while, after the movie is finished.

"Director Li, congratulations, you won TVB."

Li Zekai dreamed of buying TVB, but Run Run Shaw disdained him and tried for more than ten years without success.

Li Shengyao smiled and said, "Mr. Li, are you sincere?"

"Sincerely, absolutely sincerely."

Li Zekai felt like he had eaten a meal of flies and was so sick.

He doesn't mean it, the whole world knows how much he wants TVB.

Li Shengyao stretched out his hand, patted Li Zekai's shoulder, and nodded as if he cared about the junior, "Drink whatever you want tonight, I'll treat you."

Li Zekai is 14 years older than Li Shengyao. Li Zekai's action was actually quite rude, but Li Zekai didn't notice. He lowered his head and looked uncertain.

He was thinking about the TV station.

TVB can't count on him. Lee Sheng Yew is younger than him, and he can't even survive Lee Sheng Yew.

It seems that the only option is to build a new TV station. Thinking of TVB's huge audience, he is still a little reluctant.

"Director Li, sell me TVB for 120 billion."

Li Shengyao held up his wine glass and looked at Li Zekai with a half-smile.

"150 billion, Director Li, you can make 50 billion if you change hands. You've made a lot of money."

"..."

"180 billion, Director Li, sell it to me. This will be a business miracle. You can earn 80 billion in a few days."

Li Shengyao put down his wine glass and shook his head, "Mr. Li, you should know the importance of TVB. This cannot be measured with money. I will not sell it in my lifetime."

Not far behind Li Shengyao, Zhang Mo couldn't help but say, "This is what a real man should be like" as he saw a group of top family heirs in Hong Kong surrounding him.
