325【Asian TV】

Summer thought about it.

The auditions, plus the rematch and the promotion match, 20 to 10, 10 to 7, 7 to 5, 5 to 3, and the resurrection match, even if you edit it, at least eight episodes will have to be produced, each episode lasts an hour and a half to broadcast the competition in a complete and more meaningful way. Otherwise, if you only broadcast the last game, it will be chaotic to the audience, and there is no need to do it.

But when Xia Tian heard that Shaw Yifu said it would cost 6 million Hong Kong dollars to buy these programs, he was a little surprised. He originally planned to discuss with Shaw Yifu whether he could ask TVB to pay for his own program, but who would have to pay so much now?

With a "advertising fee" of HK$6 million, plus a production fee of HK$3 million, this game will cost nearly HK$10 million in summer. Even if he thinks about the Chinese music scene in later generations, such a large expenditure is too much.

With so much money, he can dig up singers such as Mei Yanfang, Zhang Guorong, Alan Tam, Xu Guanjie, and Zhang Xueyou to the company.

With so much money, he can print millions of records. By then, every Hong Kong family can receive a record for free. With such a high popularity rate, any song can be ruined.

With so much money, he can buy the most prominent position in all Hong Kong record stores to advertise. Mei Yeon-fang, Zhang Guorong, and Alan Tam have to make way for his singers.

So he asked him to spend six million to buy advertising time. Unless he was so funny in summer, he would agree to his request.

"If it's so expensive, then forget it." Xia Tian shook his head and said.

Shao Yifu smiled, "A Tian, ​​your starting point is good, and I want to support your ideas. But the company is so big, I have to think about them. So I really can't help it."

"Don't say that, sir, you have helped me a lot before." Xia Tian smiled and sat with Shao Yifu for a while before getting up and saying goodbye.

"A Tian, ​​come and see me when you have time." Shao Yifu got up and sent him out, saying with a smile.

"Yes, jazz." Xia Tian nodded.

...

After he left, Fang Yihua walked to Shao Yifu, "Brother Six, what are he here to do to you?"

Shao Yifu glanced at her and told her what Xia Tian wanted.

"This young man really has a lot of ideas. He actually thought of such a competition." Fang Yihua said in surprise after hearing this, "Uncle Six, I think his idea is good. It should have a very high rating. Why don't you cooperate with him?"

"It's not that simple. Like Shaw Brothers, we TVB adopt a large studio system that produces and sells on our own, which can ensure that we maximize our interests. If we cooperate with him, we will indeed benefit in the early stages. We can not only win ratings but also save our production costs. But in the long run, this cooperation has laid hidden dangers."

"If we are used to this way of cooperation and do not focus on developing our own programs and cultivating our own employees, it is equivalent to handing over our lifeblood to others. What if others don't cooperate with us in the future?! Our programs are behind and no one watches, and our employees are not experienced enough and cannot take on the main role, then will our TVB be in danger?" Shao Yifu said to Fang Yihua.

If Xia Tian was present, she would definitely applaud Shao Yifu's far-sighted vision.

Like Asian TV, it is because it is accustomed to relying on external programs and not paying attention to the innovation of its own internal programs and the training of employees. As a result, the huge TV station was no longer available, and the ratings continued to be sluggish, and even zero ratings occurred. In the end, it had to announce bankruptcy in disgrace.

Many mainland TV stations are also strangled by film and television companies that hold popular dramas or popular variety shows because of the separation of production and broadcasting, and have to spend much more money to buy TV series than before. In 2007, a popular drama in the mainland was only 700,000 yuan in a single episode, but in one or two years, it has soared to a sky-high price of 3 million yuan per episode. The consequences of the separation of production and broadcasting have already emerged.

...

After Xia Tian left the TVB station, he was about to leave, but he caught a glimpse of the Asian TV next to him.

"Forget it, just treat the dead horse as a living horse. You have to try it anyway, so as not to regret it in the future." He hesitated for a moment, and then drove to Asia TV.

Li's TV, the predecessor of Asia TV, was the first TV station in Hong Kong. It was first founded by British capital and then taken over by Australian consortiums. Now it is headed by Qiu Degen of the Far East Bank.

This guy is considered a strange man. He fled to Hong Kong with his wife, but he didn't have any money. He saved money by helping people put slides, saving money. He then bought a cinema in the New Territories and rented old movies at an extremely low price and showed them to the villagers.

At that time, the New Territories were still in the countryside, and the villagers had limited knowledge and watched old movies with relish. Qiu Degen made his first pot of gold and opened more than a dozen cinemas one after another, and was called the "King of the New Territories Cinemas".

He then founded a money shop, developed the real estate industry, and made steady progress. He eventually became one of the richest people in Hong Kong, with a net worth of hundreds of billions of Hong Kong dollars. However, compared to Shaw Yifu, he was still a lot worse than that.

Under the leadership of Qiu Degen, although Asian TV has a weaker rating than TVB, it is not much behind. It is basically the best-selling, and some dramas can even be evenly matched by TVB.

In terms of profit, Asian TV has already made a surplus, no longer always losing money like the previous few years. Therefore, overall, Asian TV is still quite strong today, and it is not like a stubborn person who is in vain in the future.

The outside world is also very optimistic about Qiu Degen's leadership, believing that under his leadership, ATV will sooner or later be on par with TVB. However, Xia Tian knew that Qiu Degen would sell his ATV shares in two years. However, the reason was unknown.

Xia Tian had no friendship with Qiu Degen, and had never had any contact with ATV. This time, because of the first original song competition, he had to bite the bullet and walk.

...

When he arrived at the Asian TV Building, Xia Tian was about to turn around and stop. At this moment, a red convertible sports car suddenly rushed out of the door, and almost wiped Xia Tian's sports car and left suddenly, scaring him. When he looked back, he saw that the red sports car had already sped away, leaving only a string of silver bell-like laughter in the air.

"Mad, mad woman!" Xia Tian cursed, parked the car, and then went to the door to register.

"Hello, I want to find Mr. Qiu Degenqiu." Xia Tian smiled and said to the guard.

When the guard saw that he was looking for the boss, and when he saw his clothes and the car he drove, he knew that the person was not easy to come. He nodded quickly, "Please wait, I will call you for instructions. Sir, your surname is yours?"

"My surname is Xia, and I am Xiatian." Xiatian said with a smile.

The guard was stunned and glanced at him carefully, "Oh, it's really Mr. Xia! I'm sorry for being stupid and didn't recognize me. I'm sorry. Please sit down!!"

Xia Tian looked at the old chair in the guard room, smiled and shook his head, "No need to be polite."

"Yes, yes." The guard smiled awkwardly, and then started to call him.

"By the way, do you know who the red sports car was just now?" Xia Tian asked curiously again.

"Oh, it's Miss Ye Yuqing, the third place champion of Sister Asian this year." said the guard.

Xia Tian was stunned, it turned out to be her.

Ye Yuqing participated in the Miss Asia beauty pageant this year. Because of her beautiful appearance and hot figure, she was a favorite to win the championship. She finally won the third place and also won the Best Miss Bodybuilder Award and the Most Character Miss, which caused a sensation.

Xia Tian knew that in a few years, she would become the most popular third-level film in Hong Kong, and would lightly untie the Luo Shang on the screen, charming all living beings, and become a hit.

As she uses her high popularity to successfully transform, become an acting star, and won the Academy Awards and Golden Horse Awards for Best Actress for "Moonlight on the Rooftop". In the end, she will marry a rich American and live a life of love, family and beauty.

Compared with the endings of other third-level actresses, Ye Yuqing can be regarded as a winner in life. So Xia Tian has a high opinion of her and knows that this is a smart woman.

"There is no way, who can make the eldest brother rich? The young artist only costs 2,000 yuan a month, and he doesn't have enough food and drink. As soon as he debuted, he was a lotus sports car, and even the boss had to look at him differently." The guard complained again, as if he was a little complaining about Ye Yuqing's domineering.

Xia Tian smiled without saying a word.

After a while, the guard put down the phone and said, "Mr. Xia, please come in. The boss's office is on the sixth floor."

"Ah, thank you." Xia Tian nodded, then stepped in.

...

Entering the ATV Building, I walked into the elevator in summer and pressed the button to go to the sixth floor.

"Oh, wait." The elevator door was about to close, but a crisp female voice was heard.

Xia Tian quickly pressed the button and opened the elevator again, but saw a pretty cute girl in ancient costume standing at the entrance of the elevator.

Xia Tian was stunned and immediately recognized her. It was Li Saifeng, a female player who was as famous as Hu Huizhong and Yang Ziqiong back then.

"Huh?!" Li Saifeng was also stunned when she saw Xia Tian, ​​"Hello, are you Mr. Xia Tianxia?" She asked respectfully.

"Yes, it's me. Hello, Miss Li." Xia Tian said with a smile.

"Hey, do you know me?" Li Saifeng said in surprise, his voice as beautiful as an oriole.

Xia Tian nodded and smiled, "Ms. Li has starred in so many wonderful movies, I don't think I can't remember it."

"Where, Mr. Xia has won the award." Li Saifeng couldn't help but blush when he saw Xia Tian praise him like this.

"Miss Li, what floor do you want to go to? Come in quickly." Xia Tian reminded with a smile again.

"Ah, by the way." Li Sai's face turned red and he hurried into the elevator.
