Taiwan.

After half a year of application, the World Channel finally passed the approval and officially started broadcasting.

In fact, with what Xia Tian did, whether it was leading a group to visit the mainland or investing heavily in the mainland, the Taiwanese authorities were very dissatisfied and did not want to let him go.

But Xia Tian is not the one who suppresses them when they want to, or bullies when they want to. The pressure from the US government and the pressure from international public opinion made them feel unhappy, but they were eventually forced to pass the approval of the Tianxia Channel.

Another main reason why they passed the approval is that among the seven channels they applied for in the summer, there are only news channels, all of which are entertainment channels.

Such as movie channels, drama channels, variety shows channels, animation channels, music channels, etc., they have nothing to do with Satsuki, so they are not worried that Xia Tian would use this cable channel to speak to the mainland.

The launch of the World Channel is a good thing for summer.

First, his film and television dramas, music, variety shows, etc. have more communication channels. He has multiple channels and multiple payments, and he still understands this truth in summer.

Second, the establishment of Tianxia Channel will help control the Taiwanese entertainment industry in summer.

...

As we all know, before the birth of the Internet, television was the most important and largest entertainment platform.

However, the rise of the Internet video industry has subverted the traditional entertainment industry style.

In Hollywood, NETFLIX, Amazon, YouTube and other online video companies have begun to grab Hollywood jobs. They have more funds than Hollywood and are willing to spend more money to hire directors, actors, screenwriters, and are willing to produce better film and television dramas.

After many movies are made, they no longer rely on cinemas to publish them, but are directly distributed online, which can also make good returns. This subverts the Hollywood ecology.

In China, online video companies have also changed the entertainment industry ecology in the mainland. The reason why those young and young actresses are still so popular is because of the popularity of Internet video companies.

TV series produced by previous production companies can only be sold to TV stations. Most of the TV stations are adults, and they have high requirements for dramas, so TV stations dare not make a fuss. In order to win ratings, they try to choose good dramas to play.

This also forced the production company to be more attentive when producing series, and also led to the birth of many excellent series that year, such as "The Mansion", "Crossing the Kanto", "Golden Wedding", "Iron-Toothed and Bronze Teeth Ji Xiaolan", etc.

But after the birth of Internet video companies, TV series can be sold to them, and the price is even higher. For example, "Ruyi's Royal Love in the Palace", the online platform price per episode is 9 million yuan, while the TV station can only sell for 6 million yuan.

In order to attract young audiences, Internet video companies specially select dramas starring young audiences' favorite traffic idols.

This leads to the production company that wants to sell the series for money can only give priority to using traffic idols. The traffic idol has increased its wealth, and even if its acting skills are zero, there are endless scenes and endless protagonists.

In order to maintain high popularity, traffic idols have also constantly hired navy troops to boost traffic and popularity, making the mainland entertainment industry increasingly impetuous and false.

It can be said that the birth of Internet video companies has subverted the ecology of the entire entertainment industry. From then on, TV stations are no longer the number one in the entertainment industry, but Internet video companies have become real giants in the entertainment industry.

...

However, Taiwan has a small population, only about 20 million people. Such a small market cannot support too many Internet companies. Just like now, Taiwan does not have too strong Internet companies. Instead, the mainland Internet companies rely on the mainland's population to compete with the United States' Internet companies.

If Taiwan’s Internet platform cannot develop, then the TV station will still be the leader of the Taiwanese entertainment industry. In the past life, even though the Taiwanese entertainment industry was already lonely, the TV station was always at the top of the entertainment industry. All artists still have to rely on TV stations for their debut, fame, and development, and cannot rely on other platforms.

Therefore, controlling Taiwan’s TV stations is equivalent to controlling Taiwan’s entertainment industry.

This principle also applies to South Korea.

The World Channel has summer backing, and there are guarantees for both funds and programs, ensuring that it can break through the siege among many TV stations in Taiwan and gain the highest ratings. Naturally, it has the greatest influence in the Taiwanese entertainment industry.

...

After the establishment of the World Channel, in order to set up the signboard of the World Channel, Zhang Aijia specially invited Hong Kong's first-line stars to support it.

Such as Wang Qixian, Lin Qingxia, Zhong Chuhong, Zhou Runfa, Liu Dehua, etc., I hope they can participate in the program of the World Variety Channel to attract audiences.

"Mr. Xia, you must provide support." Zhang Aijia asked Xia Tian.

"As long as they have schedules, there is absolutely no problem." Xia Tian smiled.

"Then I'll thank Mr. Xia first." Zhang Aijia smiled, "By the way, do you know Miss Lin Qingxia's latest phone number? Her previous phone number has expired, and I can't even contact her."

Lin Qingxia had stayed in a hotel before, but was later arranged by Xia Tian to stay in the Deep Shuiwan Villa. Because she was worried about being harassed, the address and phone number of the villa were kept confidential, and only a few people could know it. Zhang Aijia was not included. She called Lin Qingxia's previous hotel phone number, so she naturally couldn't find her.

"What are you asking her for?" Xia Tian asked curiously.

"I want to ask her to ask someone to come out." Zhang Aijia explained with a smile, "If this person can come out, we will ensure that our World Channel will become famous in one fell swoop."

"Who is that amazing?!" Xia Tian asked in surprise.

"It's Miss Deng Lijun, a singer of the queen. I can guarantee that if she could come out of the mountain, the World Channel would be very popular." Zhang Aijia said with a smile.

When Xia Tian heard this, he suddenly realized.

Deng Lijun is one of the most popular singers in the Chinese language circle in the 1970s and 1980s. She is very famous both on both sides of the Taiwan Strait and the three regions. Because she is also famous overseas and has the reputation of "one billion applause", she has always been regarded as the pride of Taiwan by the Taiwanese people.

However, Deng Lijun's health has always been not very good and is deeply troubled by asthma. Therefore, after 1990, she reduced her work and has been recuperating in Chiang Mai, Thailand. The climate is pleasant and the scenery is beautiful. It is known as the "Rose of the North" and is suitable for recuperation.

Zhang Aijia wanted to invite her out and attend the program on the World Channel, but it was probably a bit difficult.

However, Lin Qingxia and Deng Lijun are good friends. If she comes forward, I believe Deng Lijun will give her some shame.

"Well, let's do it, I'll ask Qingxia for you first. If she is willing to help, then there is no problem. If she is unwilling to disturb her old friend's purity, then I can't do anything about it." Xia Tian smiled.
