1839 [Layout of East Asia]
"Domphet?" Xia Tian was stunned and smiled slightly, "This is just a normal business competition. Miss Zhang, kindness is not in charge of soldiers, righteousness is not in charge of finance, the mall is like a battlefield, and it cannot tolerate too much courtesy, righteousness and shame.
If we want to develop a company, expansion is necessary. There are only three TV stations in Taiwan, and the broadcast time is limited. If it buys our dramas, it will not broadcast their dramas. If it buys their dramas, it will not broadcast our dramas. So this is a zero-sum game. Even if we don’t compete with them, do you think they will let us go?"
In his previous life, there were hundreds of TV stations in the mainland, plus more than a dozen online video companies. It is logically enough to support many film and television companies. As long as everyone is at ease, they can do it without fighting to the death.
But in fact, the competition is not only not too small, but it is extremely fierce. Major film and television companies are no longer news to poach stars, expose each other's black news, and suppress each other.
For example, when a young man was about to endorse a bank's credit card, the news broke that he had not paid the ticket before taking the plane; a young man just announced that he was the first heroine of a certain drama, but in a blink of an eye, another young man snatched away his seat...
Today, in Taiwan, there are only three TV stations and none of them have one online video company, while there are as many as hundreds of film and television companies, so the competition situation is more serious than the mainland in the previous life.
It is already polite to spend a high price on summer to poach their stars. If he really uses the methods of smearing and suppressing in his previous life, no film and television company can compete with him.
Although Zhang Aijia didn't agree with his approach when she heard Xia Tian say this, she also admitted that what he said was indeed reasonable.
There are only three TV stations in Taiwan, and each one has only one channel, which means three channels in total. The time for the three channels to play dramas is very limited. It usually starts at 8 o'clock and ends at 11 o'clock. In the morning and afternoon, each will be replayed again.
Therefore, each TV station only needs two TV series to meet the needs of broadcasting in the same time period. There are as many as hundreds of film and television companies in Taiwan today, and they are also producing dramas, and the quality and quantity are very good.
In addition, there are also dramas imported from Hong Kong, Singapore and even European and American countries, which has caused Taiwanese film and television companies to face a situation where there are too many monks and less porridge, and competition is inevitable.
If you are not afraid to compete with women and dare not compete with them or compete with the market, then the Taiwan branch will sooner or later be squeezed out.
"Okay, Mr. Xia, you're right. I know what to do." Zhang Aijia nodded and said.
"Yeah." Xia Tian nodded.
He knew that Zhang Aijia was a talented woman and was very good at artistic creation, but in the management and operation of the company, he still had the aloofness of a literati, who was a little unable to put down his airs and face, and could not compete like a wolf.
In fact, her personality is not suitable for being a company leader because she lacks wolfishness and lacks the ambition to expand. But then again, it is really hard to find someone who can replace her at the moment, so she can only make do with it first.
...
"By the way, Miss Zhang, in addition to outsourcing dramas, are the TV stations outsourcing their variety shows?" Xia Tian asked curiously.
In his previous life, almost all programs on TV stations were outsourcing, and variety shows were no exception. For example, "Kangxi is Coming", "Little Star Follower", "Guoguang Help", etc., they were all sold to TV stations after they were produced by production companies.
However, Xia Tian didn’t know when this outsourcing trend originated, and whether the current TV stations have outsourced variety shows to external companies for production.
"No. Now Taiwan's variety shows are made by major TV stations, and there is no example of outsourcing yet." Zhang Aijia waved his hand when he heard this.
If dramas are the magic weapon for TV stations to attract audiences, then variety shows are the killer weapons for TV stations to attract audiences.
In Taiwan, there are countless good variety shows. Every Saturday and weekend, the whole family will sit in front of the TV to watch it, and the whole family will be happy and happy. Therefore, major TV stations also attach great importance to the production of variety shows and invest a lot of money for this.
"Tell them and see if you are interested in outsourcing variety shows." Xia Tian smiled slightly, "We at ATV have an ace variety show "Millionaire", which even Americans like."
The market for variety shows in Taiwan is very large, and many hosts are even more well-known than idol stars, such as Hu Gua, Zhang Fei, Wu Zongxian, Zhang Xiaoyan, Xu Xidi, Cai Kangyong, etc. The income of these big names in the variety show industry is also quite considerable. For example, when Wu Zongxian was the most popular, his monthly income exceeded NT$10 million, which earned more than most film and television stars.
Of course, if the host makes more money, the production company will only make more money. Therefore, the market for variety shows in Taiwan is really not small. If it can be won, it will probably be more profitable than making film and television dramas.
When Zhang Aijia heard this, he nodded.
She also knows that major TV stations have invested a lot in variety shows, and if they can get outsourcing, they can indeed make a lot of money.
"Okay, Mr. Xia, I know what to do." She replied.
...
"In addition, Miss Zhang, I have something else to ask you." Xia Tian said immediately.
"What's the matter, Mr. Xia?" Zhang Aijia asked curiously.
"You ask the boss of Rolling Stone Records if you are interested in selling his company or letting us invest in it?" Xia Tian said with a smile.
"..." When Zhang Aijia heard this, she was stunned and thought that Xia Tian was really a good deal of meat and vegetables.
I also want to take over other film and television companies, and I also want to outsource variety shows. I still have the idea of Rolling Stone Records, and I really have a big appetite.
"Mr. Xia is interested in the recording industry?" Zhang Aijia asked immediately.
"Of course, I now have Tianfeng Records and Columbia Records, and I am a truly world-class music tycoon." Xia Tian said frankly, "Taiwan's record industry is prosperous than Hong Kong, and its market is much larger than Hong Kong. The future potential is unlimited, so I am very interested in it."
Taiwan’s population exceeds 20 million, which is more than four times that of Hong Kong. Record sales are also very high. In the 1990s, it was not uncommon for a record to be sold for one million.
Even in the new century where the sky is full of thief, singers such as Chou Jielun, Lin Junjie, Mayday, and Cai Yilin still have good sales, and their appeal during concerts is also quite amazing and very valuable.
With such a profitable market, Summer will certainly not ignore it. Before, he did not have the extra energy to consider this market. Now the Hong Kong entertainment market is almost monopolized by him, and the US entertainment market has occupied half of the market. It is time to wipe out these small markets around him.
In the summer, we are preparing to occupy Taiwan, mainland China, South Korea, Fusang, and Singapore, and become the largest and only entertainment overlord in East Asia.
Of course, this goal is still a long way to achieve, and there is a long way to go. However, Xia Tian will not give up easily, and he is confident that he will definitely achieve this goal.
