The Golden Age of China Entertainment

"Sir, is entering the mainland really that important to us? TVB is now the only one in Xiangjiang, and we still have the market in Baodao and Southeast Asia. If we cooperate with the mainland, it is very likely that we will lose the market in Baodao. Is the mainland really that important?"

Shao Yifu shook his head and looked at Fang Yihua with some disappointment. He has two sons and two daughters, but because of Fang Yihua, the relationship between him and these children is very cold, and none of the four children is willing to take over TVB's business , he can only choose Fang Yihua, but now it seems that Fang Yihua's vision is still too short-sighted.

Yes, the mainland is indeed still very backward in all aspects, but this is only temporary, with a large population base and abundant resources. With the deepening of reform and opening up, China's rise has become unstoppable.

How can such a tiny place like Xiangjiang compare with the mainland?

What's more, in another 10 years, Xiangjiang will return to China, and the Shao family will definitely stay in Xiangjiang. In this case, contact and cooperation with the mainland has become an inevitable thing.

Moreover, the development of TVB will definitely rely on the mainland in the future, so what are you waiting for if you don't go there as soon as possible?

"The mainland is not only important, but also the top priority. It is far more important than Baodao and Southeast Asia. We only go there now, and it is already too late!"

As early as 1981, Lido, the predecessor of ATV, had already sold TV series to the mainland. "Heroes Huo Yuanjia" was popular all over the mainland at that time, while TVB's actions were too slow compared to 1985. , it was only at the screening meeting in Nanjing that it was the first time that the work was imported into the mainland.

If we don't pay close attention to this cooperation, wouldn't we be completely left behind by ATV.

In addition, there was another reason why Shao Yifu made up his mind to agree to Yi Qing's request, and that was Yi Qing's identity.

This is probably the illusion that every Xiangjiang tycoon who has had contact with Yi Qing will have.

Yi Qing has an official background in the Mainland!

The reason why Shao Yifu thinks this way is actually not surprising. No one knows exactly how much Yi Qing's assets are, but he can integrate Xiangjiang's theater chains, and even established Orange Sky Entertainment, recruiting troops everywhere. Compared with him, his wealth is only a lot more.

However, such a tycoon of such a level is actually a staff member of Jingtai, which makes no sense.

Therefore, Shao Yifu guessed that Yi Qing's public position was just a convenient status, and the backer behind him was probably even stronger.

Yi Qing also knows that there are many people who have misunderstood like this, but since this kind of misunderstanding can make it easier for him to achieve his goal, then let them continue to misunderstand.

"You can handle this matter, and do it according to Mr. Yi's request."

Fang Yihua was obviously unwilling: "But sir, if so many actors are recruited, it will have a great impact on our work plan for this year!"

If Shao Yifu wants to cooperate, of course Yi Qing will not simply ask Liang Chaowei, let Shao Yifu enter the game, share the production cost, and recruit actors to participate in the filming, these are all essential.

There were several actors before, and Yi Qing hadn't settled down yet. Now that Shao Yifu is so active, he is naturally not polite. A few of the twelve stars are equal, and now TVB's gold-medal supporting actors make up for them.

"Don't focus on the present!" Shao Yifu's tone suddenly became severe, "Think about the labor in the Mainland, think about the inexhaustible locations in the Mainland, isn't there enough for us?"

Later, fans of Hong Kong dramas said that TVB's TV series are all supported by the acting skills of the actors, but if there is a suitable location, wouldn't TVB be willing to make the TV series more exquisite?

Who the hell is willing to take a piece of plastic sheeting to pretend to be a waterfall, just get a small bag of soil and say it is the Mongolian prairie, and then some keyboard gangsters will take it out to ridicule, because the conditions do not allow it.

"Take a long-term view and do things!"

Shao Yifu said and got up and went to the second floor. Fang Yihua watched, although she was still dissatisfied, but Shao Yifu had already spoken, so she could only do as she wanted.

At the same time, Yi Qing had already met Qiu Degen. In addition to talking about actors with Shao Yifu, he came here this time to finalize cooperation matters with Qiu Degen.

However, now a TVB is suddenly added, and the situation has changed a bit.

"Mr. Yi, what does this mean?"

After hearing what Yi Qing said about TVB, Qiu Degen was surprised, but not dissatisfied. He was just curious about Yi Qing's purpose.

Of course, what surprised Qiu Degen even more was that TVB's Shao Yifu actually agreed to such a harsh condition.

"Peerless Twins" invested 500 million yuan, of which the center accounted for 200 million yuan, ATV contributed 200 million yuan, and TVB contributed 100 million yuan. The final copyright, the center exclusively enjoys the mainland copyright, ATV and TVB share the Hong Kong copyright, and the overseas copyright belongs to the center and ATV. .

In other words, TVB took 20% of the production cost, but only had the copyright in Xiangjiang. Moreover, Qiu Degen was even more inconceivable that Shao Yifu actually accepted such a harsh condition for the second round of broadcasting rights.

Is Shao Lao Liu crazy?

Old age, dementia! ?

You know, Shao Yifu has always given the impression that he is like the ten villains Ouyang Dingdang brothers in "Peerless Two Pride", who would rather die than suffer and desperately take advantage.

Will you accept such a condition now?

"Mr. Yi is not joking, is he!?"

Yi Qing smiled and said, "Mr. Qiu, do you think I'm joking about this kind of thing?"

Qiu Degen was taken aback for a moment, thinking it was right, Yi Qing couldn't have come all the way from the capital to Xiangjiang just to have fun with him.

But, this is too incredible.

Although Qiu Degen was a little depressed to let TVB join the cooperation that had already been negotiated, but if this condition is the case, there seems to be nothing unacceptable.

"The cast has almost been decided. Director Zhao Baogang is currently busy looking for a suitable location for the filming. The start time is tentatively scheduled for June."

"June!?" Qiu Degen was puzzled, "Mr. Yi, it's only the beginning of March, and the time is set for June. Isn't the preparation time too long?"

Yi Qing said: "Does Mr. Qiu think it's too long? I wonder if Mr. Qiu knows the "Dream of Red Mansions" that CCTV just finished broadcasting."

Qiu Degen nodded quickly: "Of course I know this. I have sent people to the north to talk to CCTV about the copyright of "Dream of Red Mansions" in Xiangjiang."

Yi Qing said: ""Dream of Red Mansions" was broadcast at the end of last year, but the preparations did start in 81. After the actors were selected, they even held two actor training classes. Mr. Qiu still feels that the three-month preparation Is it long?"

"Mr. Yi doesn't want to hold a training class just to learn "Peerless Twins", does he?"

"Dream of Red Mansions" is a masterpiece, and now I don't know how many people are dedicated to the research of this book. Although "Peerless Twins" is a famous novel in martial arts, how can it be compared with "Dream of Red Mansions".

Yi Qing said: "That's not the case, but I plan to gather the actors together and train them in kung fu. After all, it's a martial arts film. If the actors don't even have any real kung fu, it really can't be justified!"

This time, "Peerless Twins" was going to be filmed, but Yi Qing went directly to the classics, and couldn't tolerate any omissions.

"Also, Mr. Qiu, I don't know what's going on with Yuan's class?"

Speaking of the best martial arts instructor in Asia, it is naturally the Yuan family class. The class leader Yuan Heping is a god-like existence in the circle of martial arts teachers.

He has participated in the design of martial arts works, among which the most representative ones are "The Matrix", "Kung Fu" by Zhou Xingchi, bullet trajectory, and Tathagata palm. This unconstrained design can be called a genius.

"Don't worry, Mr. Yi. I heard that we can cooperate with colleagues from the mainland. Yuan Heping from the Yuan Family Class is also very interested. I just don't know when Mr. Yi's training class will start. I can also arrange for someone to go there in advance."

Yi Qing thought for a while and said, "The time is set for mid-April. Chen Yangzheng will connect with ATV and TVB."

After the business was finished, the two of them chatted about the development of ATV. Yi Qing didn't want to participate too much in the development of ATV at the current stage, but some suggestions could still be raised.

For example, ATV is fighting for the right to broadcast "A Dream of Red Mansions" in Hong Kong.

"Mr. Qiu, have you thought about inviting the actor representatives of "Dream of Red Mansions" to Hong Kong to promote it!?"

Chapter 422 Chinese Daughter-in-Law

Yi Qing suddenly brought up this matter, mainly because of some memories of her previous life. In her memory, after the 87 edition was broadcast, the copyright was purchased by ATV. .
