"Zhou Tai, how is Asian TV's current situation?" Xia Tian asked with concern again.

"Very good. Our Liyin equipment was installed and debugged two months ago. Now both Diamond and Golden Channel are in Cantonese and English for broadcasting. Now the wireless has been sent back to the prototype. I heard that they are planning to introduce Liyin equipment now." Zhou Liang Shuyi introduced.

Previously, Wireless used the differences in program content to overtake and snatch some of the ratings of Asian TV. Now, after Asian TV used Liyin equipment, Gold Channel and Diamond Channel have achieved bilingual radio, and the program content complements each other, leaving Wireless with no room to drill, and also causing its ratings to fall back to the bottom again.

"In addition, we have launched two new variety shows. One is called "Lucky Wheel", which invites celebrities to play games on the show, and then wins prizes through the wheel; the other is called "Star Academy", which we collaborate with Tianfeng Records, mainly to select outstanding new singers." Zhou Liang Shuyi introduced.

When Xia Tian heard her say this, he nodded with a smile.

It seems that even if Asian TV is not there, it can develop very well. This is really good!

The program "Lucky Wheel" invites celebrities to play games on the show. If it is done well, it can become a longevity program like "Happy Camp".

At that time, when celebrities promote movies, TV series, records, etc., they can use this program to promote it. It’s great!

What made Xia Tian even more satisfied was the program "Star Academy". You can tell it was a talent show at first glance. If this kind of program is done well, the ratings should not be underestimated. In 2005 and 2006, he still remembered the "Super Girl" craze that swept across the country.

Moreover, Tianfeng Records absorbs some singers with great singing skills, because now it has many singers like BEYOND, Lan Warrior, Jiang Zhiguang, and Daming.

But in fact, each listener has different tastes. Some admire young and beautiful idols, while others like strong singers, carrots and cabbage, and each has its own love. If Tianfeng Records wants to win more recognition from listeners, it must work hard in this regard, try to enrich its artists, so that every listener can find what they love.

"ATV's total revenue last year was HK$2.5 billion and its net profit was HK$800 million." Zhou Liang Shuyi said again.

"Madam Zhou, you have done a good job, thank you for your hard work!" Xia Tian nodded and smiled.

"You're welcome, Mr. Xia, you'll leave the company to me to take care of, of course I have to do it well." Zhou Liang Shuyi smiled, "Besides, this is not my credit, it's the credit of everyone in ATV."

Xia Tian smiled, "You're right. Let's do this, during the Spring Festival holiday, add double salary to each employee. Senior executives above department managers will add another 50,000 Hong Kong dollars to their bonus."

"I will thank Mr. Xia on behalf of everyone." Zhou Liangshuyi said happily when she heard this.

...

"Mr. Xia, the World Comics Club sold a total of 16.53 million comic books last year, of which the highest-selling comic was "Cunmang", followed by "Panlong", and "Buddha is the Tao". "Tang Congshenghui reported that "the total revenue was 53 million Hong Kong dollars and the total profit was 42 million Hong Kong dollars."

Xia Tian nodded. Now a Hong Kong comic book is 5 yuan per Hong Kong dollar, of which the comic company charges two yuan and five cents, the comic vendor charges one yuan and five cents, and the printing factory charges one yuan.

However, comic companies also have another income, which is to advertise in comics. A best-selling comic book sells nearly 100,000 copies in one issue, which is higher than that of many newspapers, so it is also very popular among advertisers. However, comic books are not like newspapers, and advertisements cannot be too presumptuous, which limits its advertising revenue.

But no matter what, the profit of Tianxia Comics Club of 42 million Hong Kong dollars still made Xia Tian very satisfied.

"Next year, we plan to launch three new comics, one is Mr. Xia's "The Legend of Mortals in Cultivation of Immortals", and the other two are "The Story of the Wild" and "The Urban Prodigal Son" by the new writers." Tang Congsheng said again.

After Xia Tian’s fantasy novels became popular, many writers who wrote fantasy novels emerged in Hong Kong. Although their understanding of fantasy novels is not as transparent as Xia Tian, ​​they are also innovative, so they also attracted many readers, such as "The Wild Sword" and "The Urban Prodigal Son" are among the best.

"The Story of the Wild" is based on the ancient Chinese book "Shan Hai Jing", which tells the story of immortals and demons fighting for hegemony in ancient times; "The Urban Prodigal Son" has the meaning of Hojoji's "City Hunter".

Xia Tian nodded and was also very satisfied with the development of the comic club. Speaking of which, he has not invested much effort since the beginning of business. It is basically all Tang Congsheng who is managing it. To be honest, it is really beyond his expectations to have such good results.

"Old Tang, this Spring Festival, he will also pay double salary to the comic club employees. In addition, the three groups of comics, "Cunmang", "Panlong" and "Buddha is the Tao" will also send another 50,000 Hong Kong dollars red envelope." Xia Tian said again.

"Okay, I'll thank Mr. Xia on behalf of everyone." Tang Congsheng smiled happily when he heard this, "By the way, Mr. Xia, Huang Yulang's Yuhuang Group is in trouble and has a lot of debt because of the stock market crash. If you are interested, you can buy this company."

"Yuhuang Group?!" Xia Tian couldn't help but feel moved when he heard this.

Yufeng Group is the largest comic company in Hong Kong, with many talents and many famous artists. In addition to Huang Yulang, there are also Ma Rongcheng, Zhang Wanyou, Feng Zhiming (Author of Sword Laughing), Liu Dingjian (Super God Z), etc.

In addition, Huang Yulang's biggest opponent, Shangguan Xiaobao, who became famous in painting "Bruce Lee", was also taken over by him in the 1981.

There are now five comics under Yufeng Group that are classics in Hong Kong comics, namely "Chinese Heroes", "Dragon and Tiger Gate", "Tathagata's Palm", "Bruce Lee" and "Drunk Fist".

Among them, "Heroes of China" has the highest sales volume, once reaching 200,000 copies, making it the most well-known comic in Hong Kong. Its author Ma Rongcheng later created the "Storm and Cloud" series, which is also a very good comic. In addition to the popularity of comics, it was later adapted into movies and TV series, and it also received good box office and ratings.

"Dragon and Tiger Gate", "Drunk Fist" and "Tathagata's Palm" are actually very well-known. "Dragon and Tiger Gate" was once adapted into a movie. Although it was a bad movie, it was just because it was bad. In fact, if you think about it carefully, you may not be able to make a masterpiece of action movies like the Marvel Universe.

"Drunk Boxing" was adapted into the TV series "Drunk Boxing King Wuji", starring Wu Gang and Li Saifeng, and also gained a lot of ratings at that time.

"The Palm of Tathagata" was once one of the most well-known monster movies in the Hong Kong film industry. It was once very popular in the 1960s. Huang Yulang used "take-it-it-it-it-it-it-it-it-it-it-it-it-it-it-it-it-it-it-it-it-it-it-it-it-it-it-it-it-it-it-it-it-it-it-it-it-it-it

In his previous life, Zhang Zhilin and Zhu Quan once starred in a movie called "The Palm of Tathagata", but I don't know if it was adapted from a movie or a comic. But no matter what, the Yuhuang Group is still very valuable.

"Okay, I understand. Lao Tang, thank you for your reminder." Xia Tian smiled.
