Reborn Tech Maniac

Chapter 295 The Workaround of Wandering in the Cracks

"Don't worry, there happens to be an event, come and cover for us." Tang Huan, who quickly came up with a plan, snapped his fingers proudly, "The beautiful scenery in the south of the Yangtze River will definitely inspire your inspiration."

"You've always been so good at deceiving people, and now people are starting to yearn for it." Deng Lijun's eyes sparkled, and she struggled to sit up excitedly.

As a result, Tang Huan pulled her back into his arms with a little force.

Deng Lijun twisted Tang Huan, and said coquettishly, "It's been a long time, get up quickly."

"What's the rush, Xiaobie is better than newlyweds, let's continue." Tang Huan was still in high spirits.

……

Xiangjiang, in the screening room of DreamWorks, Fang Yihua and Hu Yinmeng sat next to each other.

"DreamWorks is becoming more and more prosperous, and the office space seems a bit crowded." Fang Yihua smiled and complimented, with a hint of sourness subconsciously hidden in his tone.

"It's okay, some offices can also be provided at the TV station building." Hu Yinmeng replied, while signaling Le Yiling to start.

Along with the passionate theme song "Sleeping for a hundred years, Chinese people are gradually waking up", the sample of the TV series "Huo Yuanjia" began to be screened, and Fang Yihua's face suddenly became serious.

"This is a series that Media Asia TV will broadcast soon." Hu Yinmeng smiled slightly, and said something meaningful, "It is estimated that TVB should have known about this project for a long time."

"Don't you also know the situation of TVB like the palm of your hand." Fang Yihua retorted.

Originally the only TV station in Xiangjiang, no matter how the owner changes, the life-and-death commercial competition relationship will not change.

But with the addition of DreamWorks, who plays both sides, the situation becomes complicated.

This well-capitalized content production company that produces high-quality goods frequently makes TVB love and hate, but because the consortium behind it is too dreadful, it has nothing to do with it.

In addition, there is an agreement on cooperation, no matter how strict the restrictions are, there will always be bold and reckless artists below to make extra money.

With closer personnel exchanges, the information between the two parties is naturally exchanged very quickly, and it can be said that they know each other well.

"The old rules, everyone gives up the schedule for the main event, there is no need to fight hard." Hu Yinmeng directly turned to the topic, "Continue with Tian Ji's horse racing, and adjust the programs that you value, so as not to end up being cut in half .”

"TVB will suffer a lot if you do this. You know, TVB's ratings have always had the upper hand for a long time." Fang Yihua complained unwillingly.

"We will not take sides. The year before last and last year, the ratings of your two TV stations should have their own winners and losers." Hu Yinmeng raised his hand and let Le Yiling take over the documents, "I have detailed statistics here Data, show you the report?"

"I don't want to watch it." Fang Yihua waved his hands with a deep headache.

"Or just bid for the auction. TVB's price is higher than that of Media Asia TV, and "Fearless" will be screened according to the required time slot, so I will let you operate it." Hu Yinmeng asked with a seeming concession.

"Let's forget it." Fang Yihua muttered, slandering in his heart. For Tang Huan, Media Asia TV and DreamWorks just put money in the left hand or right hand. Isn't it uncomfortable to compete for high prices for TV dramas? .

Hu Yinmeng is so smart, he immediately guessed what Fang Yihua was thinking, and rolled his eyes helplessly, "How many times have I explained to you that there is a quota for Media Asia TV's TV drama purchases, and it is impossible to increase the quotation without limit, unless it I want to only show "Fearless" repeatedly in the second half of this year."

Looking into Fang Yihua's eyes, Hu Yinmeng emphasized sincerely: "This bidding mechanism is really not tricky. In addition to pre-ordering TV series from DreamWorks, this method is also a very good way to obtain content."

Fang Yihua shook his head repeatedly, thinking that it was strange for me to believe such nonsense.

However, Tian Ji's horse racing trick has indeed been played several times, but Media Asia TV is always on the defensive.

For example, "A Thousand Kings and Heroes" co-starred by Xie Xian, Wang Mingquan, and Zhou Runfa, while Media Asia TV was temporarily avoiding the edge, the ratings were very impressive, and the advertisers were extremely satisfied.

Therefore, it can't be until now that it's my turn, and the rules of this game will not be followed.

"The TV series "Huo Yuan Jia" has a total of 20 episodes, how many episodes does Media Asia TV plan to broadcast a day?" Fang Yihua was very flexible, and asked this question instead.

"Of course it's one episode a day." Hu Yinmeng replied inexplicably.

"Anyway, TVB's ratings are higher than Media Asia TV's. This is an indisputable fact. Therefore, if we also back down, 20 days will be too much of a disadvantage." Fang Yihua waved her hand magnanimously, " How about this, Media Asia TV broadcasts two episodes a day, and TVB gives it away for a week."

"Miss Fang, you really have a good plan." After hearing Fang Yihua's suggestion, Hu Yinmeng couldn't help but feel angry.

"I hope Ms. Hu can communicate with Media Asia TV as soon as possible, so that TVB can make adjustments in advance." Fang Yihua smiled triumphantly, stood up and said goodbye.

After sending the other party away, Le Yiling said angrily: "This Miss Fang is really small."

"This kind of little trick can only be used to fight in Xiangjiang's nest." Hu Yinmeng, who was also dissatisfied, snorted, "Let's go to Media Asia TV, just in time to see how they are doing with KTVU in Auckland. .”

……

Fang Yihua returned to TVB, and after seeing Run Run Shaw, she couldn't help complaining, "According to the agreement, TVB will give up the schedule to Media Asia TV, and it will take at least a week."

Run Run Shaw smiled slightly, "Is it the TV series "Fearless", right?"

Fang Yihua nodded, and asked back in surprise, "How do you know such a trivial matter?"

"I happened to meet Zhou Mi yesterday, so we talked about this matter." Run Run Shaw put down his glass unhurriedly, "Reciprocity is not a big deal."

"But we were the one with the upper hand. If we continue like this, we may be caught up by Media Asia TV." Fang Yihua looked anxious and hurried.

"That's a matter of the future. We must let "Fearless" go." Run Run Shaw emphasized unmoved, "Because Tang Huan needs an excellent ratings to promote this TV series to the mainland."

"Show it in mainland China? Is Tang Huan planning to give up the Treasure Island market of this TV series? Previously, "Shanghai Beach" received a good response there." Fang Yihua couldn't help being stunned.

"That's not true." Run Run Shaw showed a strange look on his face, "It is said that "Fearless" will be divided into two versions, and the version for mainland screenings will be called "Heroes Fearless" separately, and will be packaged additionally To show the difference, "Fearless" will be promoted to TV stations in Taiwan and Southeast Asia as usual."

"This is clearly a cover-up." Fang Yihua lost her voice and said, "The Baodao people are not fools and would agree to his opportunistic approach."

"Since when are there so few things in this world that lie to one's ears and steal one's bell?" Run Run Shaw said with emotion, "And as long as there is enough energy, this kind of skill in doing things will make all parties have a step to step down, and naturally they will all acquiesce."

"But what does this have to do with us, and there is no benefit to be gained." After Fang Yihua was puzzled for a moment, he suddenly realized, "Tang Huan has explored the way for us. As long as he succeeds, our TV series will also have a chance to enter the mainland."

"Indeed." Run Run Shaw nodded appreciatively, "I have to say that Tang Huan's flexibility in wandering in the cracks is really amazing, and no one else can learn it, because without his wealth, background and energy .”

"The more this is the case, the more we have to beware of this person." Fang Yihua tried to persuade him.

Run Run Shaw nodded noncommittally, changed the subject, and talked about another topic, "The Huamei Entertainment Company that Tang Huan built is currently selecting shareholders. You should find out some time to find out about the situation."

"This is an empty shell company. It hasn't achieved any results until now." Fang Yihua couldn't help being curious about Run Run Shaw's decision, "Why do you have anything to do with it?"

"It's not as simple as you think, it's just that there are some things that people don't let outsiders know." Run Run Shaw retorted firmly, "With the relationship of shareholders, in addition to the aforementioned entry into the mainland market, the more important thing is to Yes, with a trusted platform to enter the North American market."

Speaking of this, Run Run Shaw showed a sneer on his face, "Do you still remember how Zou Wenhuai announced his entry into Hollywood in high spirits, why doesn't he spread the word now? Is he going to retire? Obviously not, but We were left speechless. How deep the water in Hollywood is, we have experienced it. If you want to enter Hollywood, you must find a capable and trustworthy intermediary, otherwise, you will be regarded as a A fool with a lot of money."

"It seems that this Huamei Entertainment Company was created by Tang Huan for flexibility." Fang Yihua muttered to himself.

"When dealing with Tang Huan, you can't just limit your sights to the immediate situation. You should cooperate with the "Fearless Fearless" matter and let him express himself freely. It will be beneficial to everyone." Run Run Shaw waved his hand and urged. Fang Yihua hurried to implement it.

……

At Shanghai Hongqiao Airport, ground staff were busy preparing because what was about to land was a Boeing 747, a large aircraft rarely seen in China.
In addition, the status of the passengers on this plane is extraordinary, which can be seen from the size of the team that came to greet them.

"Chen Cong, congratulations on getting a place to study abroad as you wished." Among the college students who were in charge of presenting flowers, two girls whispered to each other.

"Don't be impatient. The Shennong Foundation's assessment of applications is very formal. It doesn't care about favors, it just depends on your ability. You can do it." Chen Cong encouraged his partner, but his eyes were quickly attracted by the Boeing 747 in the sky, and he sent a message I was amazed, "What a beautiful plane. Silicon Valley One, I don't know what this means."

With the safe landing of the plane and the slow lowering of the gangway, the welcome music sounded soon.

The first person to get off the plane was the head of the trip, the director of the Shennong Foundation, Mikhail Kogan, who was over sixty years old.

Chen Cong came forward to offer flowers according to the arrangements made in advance, and the foreign old man actually said "thank you" in fluent Chinese, which really surprised her.

Behind Mikhail Kogan, followed by a group of attendants, and several student representatives who successfully applied for study places from the Shennong Foundation also came back randomly, which made people who knew them very excited and wanted to inquire about it What does the world's number one capitalist power on the other side of the Pacific look like.

After exchanging pleasantries with the officials, Mikhail Kogan and his entourage were arranged to board the car.

As for the student representatives, there are other arrangements.Chen Cong, who had completed the task of presenting flowers, planned to find an opportunity to listen to the experiences of these senior brothers and sisters.

Before leaving, Chen Cong took a closer look at the plane that made him feel very elegant.
However, she inadvertently discovered that a pair of men and women wearing sunglasses walked down the gangway calmly, and also received warm hospitality from several official personnel who seemed to stay on purpose, and even the car that greeted them drove directly to the By the gangway.

"It's so strange." Although he is only 20 years old this year, Chen Cong has a good family background and has been a movie star for a long time. He naturally has a broad horizon and understands that this phenomenon must be extraordinary.

……

The young couple that Chen Cong found were Tang Huan and Deng Lijun. They basically hitchhiked when they came to the mainland this time.

Just last year, Shanghai and San Francisco became sister cities.

This mechanism is similar to the pen pal relationship between ordinary people, but the scale has risen to the entire city.

The role of sister cities is mainly to provide a platform for communication, such as the exchange of students between the two sides, as well as economic or cultural exchanges or cooperation.

Since Shanghai and San Francisco had this interactive method, the Shennong Foundation has actively participated in it.Using its own influence, it has provided Shanghai with many opportunities for international students, visiting scholars, and so on.

For individuals, education is the most formal and suitable channel for social advancement, and this is also the area that Shennong Foundation focuses on.

Mikhail Kogan’s trip to Shanghai this time had already been planned. In order for him to cover himself and Deng Lijun, Tang Huan let all of them fly from San Francisco to Shanghai in his Silicon Valley One. city.

Now that they left the airport in the last wave, they were extremely low-key.

Seeing that Deng Lijun was a little nervous, Tang Huan took her hand and comforted her gently, "Okay, here, as long as you pretend to be dumb, no one will recognize your status as a big star. But once you speak, then I can't guarantee that."

Deng Lijun nodded obediently, and made a gesture, indicating that she would not say anything from now on.

Seeing this scene, Tang Huan laughed almost out of breath, "You really believe it."

Deng Lijun pinched Tang Huan hard in embarrassment, "You bastard, there is no truth in your mouth."

"Okay, to be honest, let's go around Hangzhou, Suzhou, Yangzhou and other places, and we must have a good time." Tang Huan said with a smile.
