Reborn Tech Maniac

Chapter 252 Not Competing on One Level
"Mr. Tang, please tell me." Leslie Cheung walked in laughing and sat down on the table.

Like Chen Baiqiang, Leslie Cheung is also from a great family. Although he is now seeking his own way out, his background is still there. For example, his sister Zhang Luping was selected as one of the ten outstanding young people in Hong Kong in 1978. This is the society brought about by receiving a good education. The benefits of the ascending channel.

With the experience of studying in the UK, Leslie Cheung has a broad vision. His artistic style is avant-garde and rebellious. At present, he is a little ungrounded and needs to stay dormant for a while, but it also means that he can use it for himself. A great opportunity right in front of you.

"How do you think about it? Change all your management contracts to DreamWorks, and then create an exclusive image for you just like Zhang Delan, and fulfill your dream of singing." Tang Huan asked directly.

Although Leslie Cheung, Chen Baiqiang, and Paul Chung belong to the manager Tan Guoji, but now the focus is on Chen Baiqiang. This can be seen from the role distribution in the movie "Applause", Leslie Cheung plays a villain.

You know, artists now attach great importance to their own image. If it is fixed, it will be very difficult to change it. Leslie Cheung accepted this challenge, but this also just allows him to show his uniqueness Different and acting flair.

"Let's talk about it before the expiration date. It's not good for me to propose a breach of contract." Leslie Cheung scratched his head in embarrassment.

"That's fine." Tang Huan nodded slightly, "Then you should settle down and practice hard. I'll find a chance to send you to the United States to see the fashion trends there."

"Thank you Mr. Tang for the promotion." Leslie Cheung snapped his fingers excitedly.

"By the way, youth idol-themed movies and TV series have become very popular recently. You still have at least one movie and one TV series to work on, so don't make any mistakes." Tang Huan specifically reminded the other party who was still a little unsure. .

"Mr. Tang, don't worry, I've always been very serious about my work. This year, I sacrificed my image and shaved my head in order to play "The Sequel of Heroes of the Great Neighborhood." Leslie Cheung assured me, patting his chest.

"Mr. Tang, Ms. Hu asked me to rush you. Everyone is waiting for your meeting." Weng Jingjing said prettyly standing at the door.

Leslie Cheung was startled, and hurriedly left the table and stood up.

"Okay, I'll go right away." Tang Huan picked up the file and walked out of the office, leaving Leslie Cheung and Weng Jingjing behind.

"You're dead. There are no rules in the boss's office." Weng Jingjing threatened in a low voice with a smile.

"One meal." Leslie Cheung raised a finger and stated the terms of compromise.

"Let me think about it." Weng Jingjing smiled slyly.

"I remembered, you are still in school, and you can also take care of filming at the same time, is that okay?" Remembering that Weng Jingjing in Time and Space was Tang Huan who went to TVB, she turned her head and asked.

"No problem at all, the homework in school is too simple." Weng Jingjing raised her head and looked at Tang Huan confidently.

"That's true. However, it's a pity that your IQ doesn't concentrate on studying." Tang Huan nodded with a smile, "It's better to continue your studies and be my secretary in the future."

After making a little joke, Tang Huan turned around and strode towards the meeting room.

Leslie Cheung smiled and stopped Weng Jingjing, "This gossip is not small, it is worth a meal."

"Stingy ghost." Weng Jingjing snorted, "Let's go, don't be late for the meeting."

……

"Have you all received the meeting gifts I gave you?" Tang Huan greeted gently.

"Thank you Mr. Tang for the red envelope." Everyone in the audience responded one after another.

"I often see everyone's faces on the screen, but some people can't match the numbers, so I just call a few names." Tang Huan shook the roster in his hand.

Upon hearing this, the artists below hurriedly sat upright, holding their breath.

Bai Biao...

Wu Weiguo...

Ma Miner...

Cai Qionghui...

"Zheng Wenya." Tang Huan finally said a name, then his eyes fell on the other party, and he waved his hand with a smile, signaling her to sit down again.

The 1979 Miss Hong Kong champion and the most photogenic Miss was a high jumper before competing and was the Hong Kong women's record holder from 1978 to 1980.

The exaggeration is that after Zheng Wenya was elected, she signed a contract with Li's TV during her term of office, and officially switched to Li's TV after she left office. This move caused quite a stir.

In the original time and space, the goddess shape of the Hong Kong Film Awards trophy was copied from Zheng Wenya.

It can be said that Zheng Wenya can be regarded as a good card of Media Asia TV. However, being elected as Miss Hong Kong does not mean that she is suitable for the entertainment industry. Let's see if there is a new breakthrough.

Up to now, Tang Huan has been on the front line in person, and he has a general grasp of how much resources he has spent more than 1 million Hong Kong dollars and bought.

"In the next stage, the company will launch new film and television productions one after another. There will be at least two high-quality martial arts TV series. The male and female protagonists of one TV series have been settled, namely Liu Songren and Mi Xue, especially Mi Xue, and the other TV series You should also be the heroine, so you must be prepared to be busy, and other people will also be busy. In addition, the operating mechanism of DreamWorks may be different from that of other colleagues. I hope you can learn to adapt. "

Tang Huan made a brief statement. After brushing up on the boss's presence, he left the venue. Naturally, Hu Yinmeng and the three new assistants he had arranged for her would be responsible for the specific work.

……

After returning to the office, Huang Xizhao, Zhou Liang Shuyi, Zhong Jinghui and others were already waiting there, and began to report some situations one after another.

Tang Huan listened roughly, and then waved his hands, "I have basically mastered the information of Media Asia TV, and I don't care too much about how to operate it in the future. I still focus on my old business, please. Don't worry, everyone."

The three quickly said that they should, and at the same time they couldn't help but secretly rejoiced. It seemed that the boss didn't value him as usual.

Tang Huan pondered for a while, "In addition, the TV station will also synchronize with the world in terms of technical means, such as live broadcasting through microwave technology. You have to be prepared in your heart and cooperate with the engineering department to implement it."

While agreeing, the three of them glanced at each other, and at the same time, a thought came into their minds, "This Mr. Tang really does not hesitate to invest in TV stations. With microwave live broadcasts, at least live news, sports broadcasts and other programs The form can be put on the agenda immediately.”

"By the way, the TV station should spend more time on the selection of news anchors. This should be more vivid than reading newspapers dryly." Tang Huan couldn't help but made another request casually, and then laughed at himself, "I just now I can’t say that I asked about specific affairs, but I broke the precept so quickly.”

"Mr. Tang is well-informed, and every suggestion is very pertinent. We hope that you can say as much as possible." Zhou Liang Shuyi joked with a smile, "We will equip a beautiful news anchor as soon as possible, this is definitely a beautiful show. .”

"That's what I said, it may not be right, you can decide according to the actual situation." Tang Huan stood up, "I have other things, so I won't stay any longer."

The three of them sent Tang Huan to the gate of the building, just as Zhou Mi had also arrived, so Tang Huan joined him and got into the car.

"I have already agreed with Run Run Shaw to meet at the Peninsula Hotel, let's go there now." Zhou Mi said.

Tang Huan nodded, "With Liang Yusheng, apart from "Ping Zong Xia Video Record", how are the other works going?"

The number of martial arts novels written by Liang Yusheng far exceeds that of Jin Yong, as many as 30. He considers that "Ping Zong Xia Video Record", "The Legend of the Empress" and "The Jade Bow of the Cloud Sea" are masterpieces, but Tang Huan feels that " "Seven Swords Under Tianshan" and "The Legend of the White-haired Witch" are also worth adapting, so they simply planned to win them in one fell swoop.

"Zhu Bangfu and Sima Ling have long been friends with these literary colleagues in Hong Kong. "Ping Zong Man Video Record" has been completed so quickly, and the other four are naturally no problem." This matter is too easy, and Zhou Mi has nothing to do Take it to heart.

……

"It is estimated that Tang Huan has already sorted out the affairs of the TV station, and then he remembered to give us an explanation." Fang Yihua's tone was full of resentment.

"It's enough to show our sincerity if we can remember meeting each other." Run Run Shaw shook his head with a little emotion, "They have booked all the advertisements for the second half of next year, and they made it clear that they don't care about the competition between the two TV stations. In my eyes. With the addition of New Art City, Xiangjiang's film industry is about to become a three-point world. Xiangjiang's entertainment industry is really going to change."

"These people are all doing business that hurts others. TV stations and movies are not so easy to control. If they fail, they will lose all their money. I don't believe how long they can survive." Fang Yihua based on his years of industry experience , Disdain to draw conclusions.

"You, the structure is not big enough. I don't know that even if you hurt someone with the base, they can afford it." Run Run Shaw pointed patiently, "Among the shareholders of Media Asia TV, there is a Wang family from Baodao. The Formosa Plastics Group is the largest enterprise in Taiwan. Although Tang Huan only made friends with the daughter and son-in-law of Erfang, outsiders will not know how much interest has been involved. With the current shareholder structure of Media Asia TV, Going to the bank for a loan is extremely simple.”

"This Tang Huan, didn't he come from the mainland? How could he have such a deep relationship with Baodao?" I feel like we're not competing on the same level at all."

"That's the situation. Didn't you realize that Tang Huan's industry in Xiangjiang, every marketing campaign will include TVB and our artists, especially the computer knowledge competition, where the final winners of the two TV stations will compete Male and female. Obviously, Media Asia TV is just a tool purchased for the convenience of cheering and serving the publicity needs of the entire group." Run Run Shaw continued to analyze.

"He really has money to burn. If it's just for this purpose, we TVB can fully meet his requirements. Why bother to get involved in the TV industry." Fang Yihua is worthless for Tang Huan.

"Maybe he has other ideas, I still haven't seen it yet." Run Run Shaw speculated confidently, "I feel that Tang Huan, a young man, doesn't care too much about the competition between our two businesses. It’s a laissez-faire attitude.”

"But he actually gives the impression that he is ambitious." Fang Yihua disagreed with Run Run Shaw's opinion.

"Maybe his ambition is not in Xiangjiang." Run Run Shaw smiled slightly, "Didn't Tang Huan buy a Hollywood company? Maybe we can follow the example of Golden Harvest and use Tang Huan's resources to try Hollywood."

After hearing this, Fang Yihua became more and more unhappy. She thought that movies had no future, and that TV stations were the inevitable trend of mass entertainment.

But Run Run Shaw, who started his business from the starting point of movies, has a special liking for movies and has always been unable to let go of them. Even now that the Shaw Brothers company is under great operating pressure, he still stubbornly maintains the system of large studios, and Fang Yihua has no way to persuade him. rise.

Because she herself didn't know what Run Run Shaw's true thoughts were about missing Bruce Lee and letting Jiahe take advantage of the loophole.

The two were silent, and Tang Huan arrived as scheduled. First of all, he sincerely thanked, "During the process of purchasing Li's TV, thanks to Uncle Liu's goodwill, I got a complete TV station and a team."

"It's nothing. I've always been a man first, and a business second." Run Run Shaw waved his hand grandly, "Besides, it's all about your own ability."

"Ms. Fang, I also want to thank you for your care." Tang Huan greeted Fang Yihua with a smile.

"Don't dare to take it, I didn't help at all." Fang Yihua didn't appreciate it, and sent back Tang Huan's thanks intact.

"Inaction is also a realm, I still understand this." Tang Huan and Run Run Shaw glanced at each other, and laughed tacitly.

Fang Yihua frowned. She was very good at intrigue in company politics, but she was not used to the macro layout and guessing the opponent's intentions. Run Run Shaw is equal.

"Mr. Tang is really far-sighted. First he got the artist employment agreement, and then he bought a TV station. Now TVB is in an embarrassing situation." Relying on her status as a woman, Fang Yihua has always acted as a For a character with a bad face, even if her words are inappropriate, no one will really care about her, right?It can test out the opponent's bottom line.

"I'm not Zhuge Liang who has a good plan, how can I be so clever, but just in time, when I was discussing e-commerce cooperation with Li Yingsheng in the UK, I learned that they intend to shrink their business in Asia, so I was happy to do it. " Tang Huan opened his eyes and yelled nonsense.

Run Run Shaw breathed a sigh of relief. He would rather believe that what Tang Huan said was true, otherwise it would be too scary for the other party to have such a scheming at a young age. The energy is better, but the actual feeling is not as stress-free as expected.

"Just in time for the meeting?" Fang Yihua muttered resentfully, "But the determination and courage shown by Mr. Tang don't seem like doing it smoothly."

"No way, once I get involved, I won't allow failure, otherwise people will think I'm afraid of the Australian consortium and the British in Xiangjiang." Tang Huan explained leisurely, "Sometimes, I really can't afford to lose face. Uncle Six can take this as youthful vigor."

Run Run Shaw nodded in agreement, "That's right, sometimes you have to fight for your breath when doing business."

"KemengWorks and TVB started out as partners, but now they seem to be competitors, especially TVB was originally monolithic. Because of the artist employment agreement, it turned out to be an undefended breakthrough for Media Asia TV." Fang Yi Hua finally said what he was really worried about.

"Ms. Fang is overthinking. I don't know if you have heard that Media Asia TV has separated the artist department to DreamWorks. From now on, DreamWorks will provide TV dramas, or purchase part of them through other channels." Tang Huan gave Fang Yihua A calm gesture.

"That is to say, the artist employment agreement between us has nothing to do with Media Asia TV, and the programs produced by DreamWorks, the two TV stations have equal opportunities to buy." Tang Huan spread his hands easily, " In fact, I just bought an artist department for DreamWorks as a package."

"Anyway, it's all under the name of Mr. Tang. It's nothing more than the difference between the left hand and the right hand. At that time, it will not be a matter for Mr. Tang to decide with one word." Fang Yihua's heart knot is not so easy to unravel.

"I won't directly manage the affairs of the TV station and DreamWorks. After all, people's energy is limited, and I still have to be busy with my old business, and I still want to enjoy a good life." Tang Huanyun smiled lightly .

"I hope so." Fang Yihua nodded, accepted the explanation, and at the same time felt ruthless. When the time comes, all the good TV dramas of DreamWorks will be blocked, and Media Asia TV will not be closed.

Seeing the flash of determination in Fang Yihua's eyes, Tang Huan could guess her little plan, so he reminded the other party mischievously, "Just like TVB has made many restrictions in the artist employment agreement, DreamWorks When selling works, there must be conditions, such as the broadcast time, etc. At that time, Ms. Fang, don't blame me for coaxing you because of unsatisfactory encounters."

After Tang Huan uttered what was in her heart, Fang Yihua couldn't help but face fever, but she was a strong woman, so she naturally knew how to get out of the predicament, so she changed the subject and talked about specific things, "Mr. Tang, TV dramas are also a commodity. , why not follow up quickly when the market is good? "Shanghai Beach" will not make a sequel for the time being, and "The King of Thousand Kings" will waste the opportunity like this? Why don't you simply authorize it to TVB."

Glancing at the smiling Run Run Shaw, Tang Huan understood in his heart that some of the conditions put forward by Fang Yihua, who was charging ahead, were probably his intentions.
