Hong Kong's new giants

Guan Jiahui flattered: "Now the entire entertainment industry is listening to your call!"

"It's still a concept now. They understand the real Hong Kong culture there. In a year or two, they still have to watch ATV!"

"You are the best! Next time, take me to ATV!"

This woman really has a 'scheming'!

Chapter 382 [Preparation for debut]

YG Entertainment.

ATV's first-generation boy group HOT has officially started selection and is preparing to debut in five months.The reason is simple, some trainees themselves have a foundation in dance and vocal music, which is enough to make their debut.

Back then, Li Ming and Guo Fucheng started their debut after less than a year of training, and they are still among the four heavenly kings today.

In the practice room, more than a dozen boys looked at Lin Zuhui nervously, not to mention Lin Zuhui's title of "the richest man in Chinese", he is also the "media tycoon" of Xiangjiang, Murdoch (Murdoch) of Xiangjiang.Yu Xiaoming, president of YG Entertainment, has already made everyone fearful.

Lin Zuhui looked at this batch of trainees with confidence, this is only the first batch, and the second batch was recruited last summer (hereafter recruited every summer vacation); of course, there are some who can't bear the hardship and quit halfway, and some who are really not that kind of material dismissed.

Launch the men's team first, and the women's team needs to practice more, and the men's team can open up the market better.

In fact, Dawn of Hong Kong is the originator of the Korean Wave, so there are many Korean Waves that imitated the Hong Kong Wave in previous lives; the reason why the Hong Kong Wave disappeared is that there is no systematic and comprehensive group to control this matter.

It's different now. ATV invests tens of millions in cultivating "idols" every year. Coupled with Lin Zuhui, who is familiar with the Hallyu, leading the way, it is bound to set off a "Hong Kong culture" in Asia soon.Moreover, Lin Zuhui is developing Hong Kong culture in an all-round way, not just cultivating idol singers.

"Let's start!" Lin Zuhui said to Yu Xiaoming beside him.

Yu Xiaoming nodded excitedly. Only the management of YG Entertainment can understand what kind of 'idols' YG Entertainment is creating. Once they debut, they will change the pattern of the entire Asian 'idol music scene'.

What is the Little Tigers?

They can only be regarded as idols, but their songs and dances are completely incomparable with the idols of YG Entertainment.

The songs created by YG Entertainment are a fusion of black RAP. Most of the songs are fast-paced and have a strong sense of rhythm. They are suitable for dancing, singing and dancing.It shows the rebellious psychology of young people, and also represents the voice of many young people.

YG Entertainment's songs, dances, and performances are created by a dedicated team, and the style is directed by Mr. Lin Zuhui, the "Godfather of Hong Kong Culture".

At this time, there were performance teachers, dance teachers, and song teachers in the practice room, and everyone was also quite excited. After a year of retreat, they finally saw the hope of harvesting.During the period, the boss personally participated in the guidance many times to ensure that the general direction would not go astray.

At the beginning, everyone thought that the boss liked the entertainment industry. It wasn't until the boss put forward the concept of "prospering Hong Kong with Hong Kong culture" that they realized that YG Entertainment is an important part of "Hong Kong culture".

"Divide into three groups and start performing! Children, don't be nervous, just show your true skills!" Yu Xiaoming comforted.

"Yes!"

Then, the pre-rehearsed team began to sing and dance amidst the rhythmic music!

At this time, the division of labor has already come out, and those responsible for dance, rap, lead vocal, sub-vocal, and facade have all been engraved in the treasure book of YG Entertainment.

Because this time the group is a five-member group, imitating HOT in the previous life, YG's team took out the 7 best candidates, and today I personally cut off two people.

Lin Zuhui is also familiar with the characteristics of the students here, after all, he comes here almost every half a month!

Lin Zuhui enjoyed it very much, as if he had returned to the Hallyu era in his previous life.In his previous life, he was also a member of the Korean wave, but when the restriction came out, he gave up decisively, and the first and second generation groups he liked, the latter groups did not chase after them.

After an hour of selection, Lin Zuhui said: "Recently, we will select five of you and prepare for your debut! If you are not selected, you must continue to strengthen your practice. You are the first batch of students of 'Hong Kong Culture'. If you can’t debut all of them, ATV also has job opportunities for you.”

"Thank you boss!" All the students said one after another.

Lin Zuhui nodded, turned around and took the management and teachers to the meeting room to discuss the final HOT members.

Soon, everyone decided on a five-member group and arranged to prepare for their debut song and album in five months.To be honest, it is so difficult to set the content according to Lin Zuhui's outline.

After the meeting was over, Lin Zuhui brought several female teachers to the girls' practice room.

The reason why they are called female arrangers and female choreographers is because Lin Zuhui wants to show off his power.

An empty practice room, after Lin Zuhui and others walked in, a female practice room walked in nervously after a while.

"Boss, Teacher Sun...I'm Li Huiling!"

Lin Zuhui nodded, and was very satisfied to see this little girl with good looks and good singing skills.

In fact, to put it bluntly, idols are praised by others, and there are still many who sing well and look a little bit good-looking.

"Today, I'm here to tell you a plan, which is Li Huiling's solo debut plan!"

Everyone concentrated, Li Huiling was even more happy, and then looked at Lin Zuhui nervously.

"Let me tell you about her style, first of all: she wants to follow the style of electronic music, like this: dong dong dong dong dong (Lee Jung Hyun's "Wow")... Secondly, the dance is a fan dance... such a style, such fingers... ...The clothing is the Hanfu style...the hair is the style that needs to be done with a fork...In the past six months, I hope you will think about it carefully, I will come to check anytime, and I am also preparing to debut during the summer vacation!"

In the previous life, HOT and Lee Jung Hyun were both the earliest representatives of Hallyu, and now they will become the first representatives of Hong Kong Wave.Hong Kong Stream is a development in all aspects. Lin Zuhui can only say that he has made a good start, and the follow-up Hong Kong Stream culture will naturally be born in everyone's hands.After all, rice is eaten in one bite.

Lin Zuhui specially brought a tape recorder, and handed over the tune he hummed to the arranger teacher. As for the dance, just memorize a few movements.

Everyone was a little surprised. It turns out that the boss is a master. He is good at packaging idols. He is a media tycoon.

"Boss, you are really versatile!" said a female arranger.

Lin Zuhui said with a smile: "If the news gets out, none of you will be able to escape, so what I said today is all your ideas."

Everyone was stunned, this boss is a smiling tiger, talking with a smile, why is it so scary!

"Okay, boss!"

"I'll keep my mouth shut!"

Lin Zuhui nodded, walked to Li Huiling's side, and looked at her face generously, making the little girl's face hot.

"The appearance is fair, and there are some cute styles, but you must spend more time on the makeup, Mr. Sun, remember my words!"

"Okay, boss!"

Only then did everyone understand that the boss is cultivating Li Huiling in an all-round way.

Lin Zuhui circled around before saying, "From now on, your stage name will be Li Zhenxian!"

Li Huiling said in surprise: "Thank you boss!" The boss even participated in the stage name, which shows that she must be taken seriously, so she thought.

As everyone knows, Lin Zuhui is just a bad taste.

"If you don't work hard, you may not be able to make your debut in the summer vacation, so you have to work harder. Artists are just entertainers. They have no real skills. No matter how you package them, they will show their true colors in the future. Although my words are ugly, you should also accept the truth. clear!"

"I will definitely try my best!"

The little girl cheered herself up, she looked quite cute.

Lin Zuhui nodded, he can personally create 'Li Zhenxian' in the future, of course, it is already his limit to appear once in half a month.

After Lin Zuhui left, the dance teacher and arranger teacher all breathed a sigh of relief. The boss looked kind, but made people feel nervous for no reason.

"Lee Jung Hyun, you must strive for success. YG Entertainment spends tens of millions on ATV every year, all of which is to cultivate future idols like you!"

"Li Zhenxian, work hard, if you want to be popular, you have to rely on yourself!"

Li Zhenxian (Li Huiling) felt for the first time that she was so valued, and at the same time had a deep influence on her boss, she was so talented!

The reason why Lin Zuhui was preparing for the debut of "Hong Kong Stream Idol" in advance was because Asia Satellite TV successfully broadcasted it. Currently, it has 800 million viewers, and it will increase rapidly.

Not only that, as far as he knows, Hallyu culture has been formed in the mid-90s, for example, HOT debuted in 1996.

So, he can't fall behind, otherwise he becomes a plagiarist.

Back at ATV, Lin Zuhui asked his assistant to hold a meeting of "Female Drama Writers". This team was cultivated by Lin Zuhui very early, and it is also doing very well in family fashion dramas.

After a while, seven or eight female screenwriters came to the meeting room one after another, and Zhou Liang Shuyi also participated in the meeting.

At the meeting, Lin Zuhui first said: "I remember that when we at ATV determined the style of the family fashion drama, we captured the hearts of the Hong Kong teachers!"

Everyone echoed, and Selina Chow said with a smile: "In the past few years, ATV and TVB have been pursuing this kind of themes, but our ATV is still better at this aspect!"

This is the aura. After "The Great Times" became a hit, ATV has been in full swing in this area. Department store family fashion dramas, clothing family fashion dramas, and jewelry family fashion dramas have been launched one after another.There are both business wars and family dramas, teachers and wives don't like to watch it.

Lin Zuhui nodded, and then said seriously: "Next, we at ATV are going to launch another series of dramas with the same theme - love idol dramas. I have a script outline here called "Blue Life and Death Love", you can take a look." Of course, this script is just an outline. It is important to determine the style of a love idol drama. The lovers may be brothers and sisters, and the brothers and sisters may become unrelated lovers. Tragedy is a feature, the second girl and the third girl must have a bad girl, the male lead is handsome, looking for Liming, the female lead is gentle, kind and beautiful, the love story has to be tortuous and bloody..."

The female screenwriters quickly took a pen to record it, but the expressions on their faces were surprised and pleasantly surprised.

In the end, Lin Zuhui said: "For this drama, we all work together. The reason for this is that this is an important part of my 'Hong Kong Stream Culture Revitalization'-in terms of drama series. I will give you half a year to study and create. Filming in the second half of the year."

"Yes!"

The female screenwriters did not expect this to be the representative of the drama series of "Hong Kong Stream Culture", not even Selina Chow.

In this way, it means that the boss's 'Hong Kong culture' will be a brand new entertainment culture.Of course, this does not conflict with the outside world. Everyone is developing the entertainment industry in Xiangjiang and going overseas.

After the meeting, Selina Chow stayed and reported last year's financial situation to Lin Zuhui.

"The total profit is 3.05 million Hong Kong dollars, which is estimated to exceed the profit of TVB. However, our overseas copyright income has 1.2 million Hong Kong dollars, mainly from programs such as "Millionaire" and "Bao Qingtian". DreamWorks also contributed more than 3000. Thousands of pure profits!"

Lin Zuhui asked: "What about "Legend of the New White Snake", is there anyone here to talk about it?"

Zhou Liang Shuyi immediately said: "Yes, there are many. Taiwan, the mainland, and Southeast Asia are all negotiating. It is expected that the copyright will be as popular as Bao Qingtian!"

Lin Zuhui nodded, and said: "Zhao Yazhi has been the guarantee of the ratings for the past few years. I have already negotiated with her, and I will sign a contract with ATV to shoot dramas in the future. You are based on the historical novel "Efang Palace" and the Guangdong drama "No Love in Troubled Times" ", "The Number One Scholar" filmed a large number of costume romance dramas."

"Okay, we must arrange it!"

At this time, Zhao Yazhi and Zheng Shaoqiu were both from ATV, but this time they were borrowed by TTV to film "Joking about Qianlong", but ATV had a condition, that is, Xiangjiang copyrighted to ATV, and it was exclusive.TTV naturally agreed, otherwise ATV would not let him go.Zheng Shaoqiu and Zhao Yazhi have developed very well in ATV, and Lin Zuhui has personally wooed them, so they will naturally consider ATV's attitude.

Since Lin Zuhui took control of ATV and DreamWorks, Taiwan's film and television capital is no longer so important. He has plenty of money!

Since ATV cooperated with Taiwan TV station to film "Bao Qingtian", not only did it steal from which TV series to learn the skills to shoot large-scale dramas in Taiwan, but also directly poached people from several TV stations in Taiwan. It can be said that it is prepared in this regard adequate.

Because of this, "Legend of the New White Snake" was shot without a strong Hong Kong flavor, and it is more suitable for the Chinese flavor that the entire Chinese like.

If this trend continues, "Han Zhu Ge Ge" on Taiwan Island will not be able to keep it!

ATV shoots so many major dramas, one cost about 1500 million, and there is naturally financial pressure.But Lin Zuhui doesn't care, as long as he is happy, he can immediately let ATV raise a wave of funds from the stock market, and he will not be short of money at all. This is the benefit of having a boss who is proficient in finance.

"Is the money tight?" Lin Zuhui asked again.

"It's a little bit, mainly because of the cost of ATV headquarters and satellite TV. These two investments, based on last year's profit, will take a full six years of profit!" Zhou Liang Shuyi said honestly.

Lin Zuhui thought about it, and he felt that ATV should belong to Xiangjiang people, not to himself.Therefore, the more shareholders the better.

However, the warrants in his hands are already worth 2.5 million yuan, with a net profit of 5000 million yuan.

Therefore, only by raising a large amount of funds can he dilute his equity and have more shareholders.

"I will prepare a rights issue to raise funds. Conservatively, there will be a cash flow of 2 million yuan! Although ATV's headquarters will cost a lot, after all, it only needs four or five years of expenditure, and there will be no short-term financial problems. You can do things with peace of mind. Lack of money!"

"Okay, I know!"

There was a relaxed expression on Zhou Liangshuyi's face. With such a boss, it is really easy for the company to make money.

Chapter 383 [Year-end Summary]

Monday, May 1.

It has been 20 days into the new year, and all the companies under Lin Zuhui have entered the end-of-year summary stage. It is another harvest year, and he will not let down investors and employees.

In the conference room of the New Era Group, Lin Zuhui and a group of high-level executives are conducting a summary meeting.

财务董事梁真勋认真的汇报道：“去年（1990年），我们全年盈利为80.5亿港币，其中有41亿的非经常性盈利、33.5亿的地产/置业盈利、其余综合盈利为6亿盈利……盈利不包括恒昌控股。”

There were joyful expressions on the faces of everyone, this profit will exceed the Changshi Department by a large margin.

Of course, the reason is that the non-recurring profit of 41 billion is too exaggerated, and the sum of Hutchison Whampoa and HK Electric is not so much.

The profit of 33.5 billion real estate/home ownership is also very high, and the Cheung Kong Group in the same period did not exceed 30 billion.

In fact, in terms of real estate development alone, the floor area supplied by New Times Group last year was not as large as that of Changshi, nor was it listed by Sun Hung Kai Properties.However, the rental properties of New Times Group are incomparable to these real estate companies, even though there are many buildings being rebuilt.

This year, the sale of half of the shares in Harcourt Building and Royal Building to the Lin family, as well as part of the shares in Central Plaza, also generated a net profit, just to smooth out the interest.

The integrated sector made a profit of 6 million Hong Kong dollars, which is also very good, mainly from shipping, hotels, construction, and retail (already profitable), while ports, telecommunications, etc. lost money.

Hengchang Holdings has only joined for a few months, so I won't show it for now.

Lin Zuhui joked with a smile: "We earn a lot and spend a lot. Now we have more than 30 billion liquid funds in our account! Moreover, this year (1991) the group has almost no non-recurring profits... However, the Gulf War is progressing well , there should be hope for an early end, and then Xiangjiang Real Estate should usher in a new round of growth. This year we have Scenery Garden, and if the real estate rises by a few percent, the prospect is promising!"

Everyone smiled. They believed in the boss's words. The Gulf War broke out and the Hong Kong stock market rose. This in itself is good news for the real estate industry.

Then, Chen Bin also began to report: "The land reserve of New Era Group, according to statistics, is 2350 million square feet, ranking second in Xiangjiang. It is only second to Sun Hung Kai's 2800 million square feet and higher than Henderson's 1300 million. Square feet. The New Times Group still has 1500 million square feet of farmland... Last year, we completed and sold a total of 260 million square feet of floor area, with a profit of 850 yuan per square foot, and a total profit of 22.1 billion yuan... This year , we expect to complete and sell 300 million square feet of floor area!"

Because Lin Zuhui knew that housing prices would rise by [-]% this year, the supply should naturally not increase too much, so as not to reduce the reserve land.

（PS：前世同一时期新鸿基土地在3300平方尺，90s末更是高达5000万平方尺；恒基同一时期为1650万平方尺，1996年为2420万平方尺）。

According to Lin Zuhui's guess, the rise of New Era Group has had a greater impact on Chinachem and Cheung Kong; Category.

It also has a great impact on Chinachem Real Estate. In the previous life, Chinachem Real Estate was one of the best owners of the "land exchange rights and interests". Now the New Times Group has the most land exchange rights and interests.Whenever no one cares about the "land exchange rights and interests", New Era Group always wins them all at the first time.

As for Li Chaoren's long-term success, Li Chaoren's heart has been heartbroken for a long time just by grabbing two large housing estates - the top of the Lantian subway station (Sceneway Garden) and the Heyuan Power Plant (Haiyi Garden).
