We are all reborn, who wants to be the richest man?

On the way to see Guan Jiahui off, Luo Nianzhong sat in the car and read today's newspaper with her. However, their focus was different. One was concerned about the recent current affairs news to see if it could bring back any memories, while the other was just out of boredom. , I want to see what’s so good about this thing.

Today, almost all newspapers in Hong Kong were covered by two pieces of news, and both of them were related to Luo Nianzhong.

"Lei's name is changed to ATV, and Xu Wenqiang takes over Hong Kong Island".

"Yingjun Group privatizes Qingzhou Yingni, Tycoon Luo wants to monopolize Hong Kong Island Cement".

Early in the morning, newspapers across Hong Kong Island took these two incidents as headlines.

The entertainment-oriented newspapers basically reported yesterday's viewing frenzy in Shanghai. There was no way not to report it. After the detailed ratings of ATV came out last night, it shocked the entire entertainment industry.

The ratings of 75.2% are higher than yesterday’s rough statistics. It directly broke the ratings records of the three TV stations on Hong Kong Island since their operation, and left the second place behind.

This record refers to the ratings after three TV stations coexisted. Otherwise, the highest ratings should be regarded as those of Li TV Station, the predecessor of ATV. With just one TV station, there is no need to talk about the ratings.

Achieving record-breaking ratings does not rule out the factors of awards from ATV activities, but the grand occasion of people discussing the plot in Shanghai this morning also shows how successful this drama is, and you can hear it now wherever you go. Discuss the sound of Shanghai Beach.

Chow Yun-fat, who starred in Hui Wenqiang, was hailed as the number one niche TV drama in Hong Kong and a pillar of ATV after only four episodes were aired.

In fact, this is a bit nonsense, because Chow Yun-fat is still an actor at TVB. This time Luo Nianzhong asked Chow Yun-fat to choose Chow Yun-fat instead of listening to Sylvia Chow's advice to select the character within ATV. On the one hand, the character he created is indeed a classic, and on the other hand, he is still a good actor. Shao Liushu's favor in Zhao Yazhi's contract.

In addition to what this drama is related to, Luo Nianzhong, who brought all this to ATV, is also known as the leader of the second generation of the Luo family. However, there is not much introduction to Luo Nianzhong, and more coverage is given to the leading actors in Shanghai.

At TVB, Uncle Shao Liu held a high-level meeting to discuss how to deal with the sudden rise of ATV.

In the past two years, Li Xiaohe has basically stopped taking charge due to health reasons. Uncle Shao Liu, who had just taken over the wireless power baton, encountered such a crisis not long after he came up. This also made him feel an unknown fire in his heart since this morning.

Especially considering the situation of ATV, it can be said that the general manager Zhou Liangshuyi was squeezed out by the veteran in Taiwan, and the Shanghai heroine Zhao Yazhi even nodded and agreed to let go. This puts the current Uncle Shao Liu under a lot of pressure.

You must know that the current major shareholder of TVB is still the Li family. Except for Li Xiaohe, the rest of the Li family have no intention of running the TV station. If he wants to take his TVB shares from Li Xiaohe, in addition to the friendship between the two, he also needs to make some decisions on his own. score.

If Li Xiaohe feels that he cannot lead TVB to glory, once another spoiler appears, even years of friendship may make Li Xiaohe hesitate.

The whole conference room was eerily quiet. In the end, the people around Shao Liushu glanced at him and thought for a while before saying.

"I analyzed several reasons for ATV's current ratings."

"The first is that they advertised heavily in newspapers before the broadcast, and the second is that they launched prize-winning activities to mobilize the enthusiasm of Hong Kong people. We don't need to worry about these two points, because we can't keep doing money-losing business until they After this wave of offensive ends, the ratings will inevitably fall."

Even though Southeast Daily has sold hundreds of thousands of copies, it is far behind the second place, but everyone knows that this will not last long. Because most of this sales are for the prize-winning Q&A above, it would be good if the number of people paying attention to the newspaper’s content exceeds 100,000.

When people realize that this way of winning the lottery is worse than buying Mark Six lottery tickets, their enthusiasm will naturally cool down and sales will drop. There is no problem in saying that they are losing money.

After taking a look at Shao Liushu's face, Fang Yihua continued.

"However, it cannot be denied that Shanghai Tang is indeed a well-produced TV series. After their offensive is over, it is still unclear whether our drama can compete with theirs."

It's unknown what happened, but everyone present knew that this was just Fang Yihua's fear of destroying his own ambition to gain the prestige of others. They are all old foxes who have been working in TV dramas for many years, and they still know the quality of a drama.

Judging from the current content of only four episodes of Shanghai Beach, as long as the subsequent plot is not too ruined, TVB's current flagship "Sword of China" cannot be ATV's opponent at all.

Uncle Shao Liu also knew that other people could pretend to be confused while pretending to understand, but he couldn't. He glanced at Wang Tianlin. Uncle Shao Liu said, "Tianlin, I remember that Chu Liuxiang's project you reported has not been approved, right?"

"That's right, Sixth Brother. The Finance and Audit Department said that funds are tight this year and they have made arrangements. They asked me to wait until next year to shoot again."

What’s the matter of financial constraints? TVB is not the only one, and I simply don’t believe that anyone can challenge them. For such a large-scale production, the executives feel that there is no need to produce one film a year. It is better to pay more dividends to shareholders.

In fact, to put it bluntly, it was stuck with Uncle Shao Liu. Now that he had an uprising, he found that his dominance was in jeopardy, so he thought of Wang Tianlin.

"Let's do this. I will inform them that special things will be done. You should hurry up and prepare the crew to start filming as soon as possible."

"Don't count on the ratings during this period. We can tolerate it, but one drama can't change too much. The one who laughs at the end is the real winner."

After the meeting, Fang Yihua and Shao Liushu returned to the office. After putting a cup of tea on the table, they came behind Shao Liushu who was relaxing with his eyes closed, and gently pressed his head with both hands.

"This is not like your style. You always pay attention to planning when doing things. Now to start Tianlin's project, more funds will be diverted. The income and dividends at the end of the year will not be very good."

"It's better to not look good than not to look at it. Now that the enemy has a gun to his head, do we still have to engage in internal strife for profit? When the enemy's gun goes off, no matter how much profit we have, it will be like a castle in the air and disappear in an instant."

Uncle Shao was well aware of the factional disputes and power struggles within the TV station. In the past, he was too lazy to care because the more fierce the people below him were, the more beneficial it would be to him, but now it was no longer possible. The enemies outside were watching eagerly. At this time, he had to clench his fists and hit people.

"The development of Shaw Brothers is not very good. TV stations are my next battlefield. I can only take out money from this money bag if I ensure it is mine first."

After sighing, Uncle Shao said helplessly, "I underestimated Luo Yinghua's son. When I found out that he acquired Li's son, I didn't take it seriously. I even generously let Zhao Yazhi go, but I didn't expect that he would eat it himself in the end." Bad consequences".

"Don't worry, we haven't reached that point yet? TVB is still the dominant TV station in Hong Kong.

And no matter how this deal is calculated, we are suitable. If there is no Zhao Yazhi, she can use Zhang Yazhi, but she will never help you create a Chow Yun-fat."

In response to Fang Yihua's comfort, Uncle Shao grabbed her hand and shook it. "I know all this, but what I want is an attitude of nip in the bud. Look at how they pretended to be deaf and dumb during today's meeting. Shuyi Zhou is right. It seems that we really need a change."

After talking about internal matters, Uncle Shao wanted to go to Chow Yun-fat, "How about that little traitor?"

Fang Yihua shook his head, "He still wants to develop in the direction of movies and said he will not renew his contract next year."

Glancing at Uncle Shao with a bad expression, Fang Yihua continued, "I talked to him, he helped us film two TV series and we broke up peacefully. This is the result of maximizing our interests now, and we just take advantage of his popularity now." .

"Hey, it seems that Shaw Brothers is really in decline." Uncle Shao looked very lonely and melancholy.

If Shaw Brothers hadn't been lonely, Chow Yun-fat, who wanted to develop his film career, wouldn't have made this choice. Thinking about every detail of the establishment of Shaw Brothers, Uncle Shao suddenly fell into memories.
