337 [Double Flower Red Stick]
In the evening, Fulinmen Restaurant.
Xia Tian and Qiu Degen talked happily and laughed happily.
"Mr. Qiu, please!" Xia Tian said with a smile.
"Mr. Xia, please!" Qiu Degen also smiled.
The more he looked at it, the more he felt that Xia Tian was not simple. He had ideas and courage, which was really amazing. No wonder he had the current results.
"Mr. Xia, you made this 'original song contest' really good." Qiu Degen then smiled, "I hope we can continue to cooperate."
"Oh!" Xia Tian sighed when he heard him say this.
"What's wrong, Mr. Xia?" Qiu Degen asked in confusion.
"Sir Shao also called me today." Xia Tian said immediately, "Although I didn't say it clearly, I still hope that I don't cooperate with you because of my words."
Qiu Degen's face froze, and he knew that with Shao Yifu's character, he would definitely be able to do such a thing.
Back then, ATV filmed "The Legend of Silkworms" and was extremely popular because of its superb acting skills and bizarre storylines. Shao Yifu was worried that the throne of the number one viewership on TVB was overturned, so he even spent money to incite the male lead Xu Shaoqiang to run away, allowing him to find a place to hide. Forced "The Legend of Silkworms" to change the male lead again, which also caused the ratings to fall all the way, which was much worse than before.
So now he is afraid that the ratings of the "Original Song Contest" will outweigh TVB, so it is very likely to use the same trick again. With his friendship with Xia Tian, it may also put a lot of pressure on Xia Tian.
"What does Mr. Xia mean?" Qiu Degen asked immediately.
"I have already talked to Mr. Qiu before, of course I won't be so unfaithful." Xia Tian waved his hand and said, "But Sir Shao did help me a lot before. Oh, it's really hard to decide on the palm of your hand."
"Little slippery, just say it if you want the benefits." Qiu Degen cursed inwardly, knowing that Xia Tian was using Shao Yifu to suppress him, but he had to accept the challenge.
Because he has seen the value of this talent show. Now it is the hottest topic in the city, more popular than the beauty pageant of Miss Hong Kong and Sister Asia. After all, Miss Hong Kong and Sister Asia can only participate in the competition, while the talent show is something that everyone can participate in.
Such a popular event, the ratings are naturally not a problem, and advertisers are also happy to pay advertising fees. At the same time, they can also use this program to save the face of Daheng Shao. How satisfying it would be.
"Mr. Xia, we ATV are also very cooperative and sincere. Let's do this. What should I agree with the conditions you mentioned before?" Qiu Degen thought for a while.
"Okay, since Mr. Qiu is so happy, I won't be able to do it anymore, just do it!" Xia Tian said with a smile.
Although I know that with the current situation and I have raised my requirements, I guess Qiu Degen will agree. However, it is better to stay at the front line of people and not take up all the benefits.
"Thank you, Mr. Xia!" Qiu Degen immediately breathed a sigh of relief when he saw Xia Tian agreeing, "Come on, cheers!"
"Cheers!" Xia Tian smiled.
"Mr. Qiu, I will edit the program for you as soon as possible." Xia Tian then said, "You can also start the advertising bidding work as soon as possible, such as naming rights, billboards, etc."
"I wanted to ask you last time, what is the right to naming?" Qiu Degen asked curiously.
"..." Xia Tian blinked, why doesn't Hong Kong have the concept of naming rights yet?!
If you think about it carefully, he has actually seen a show that is currently named. For example, "Happy Tonight" is "Happy Tonight", which will not be "Vita Milk Happy Tonight"; "430 Shuttle" is "430 Shuttle", which will not be "Ocean Park 430 Shuttle".
"The naming right means adding the brand of the company to the name of the program. For example, Hang Seng Bank bought the naming right, so we said that this event is the 'Hang Seng Bank Original Song Contest', and when the host hosts it, he will try to mention its name, such as 'Audience, you are now watching the original song contest narrated by Hang Seng Bank'." Xia Tian explained.
"Our program is very popular and has a high exposure. If any company is named, it will definitely get the most exposure." Xia Tian said then.
Qiu Degen's eyes lit up. Xia Tian's words really reminded him.
Think about it, this naming right is actually not rare. For example, the school funded by the Baoliang Bureau will add the word "Puliang" in front of it. That is actually the naming.
Students from those schools naturally have a great impression of Polygon Bureau. If they donate money in the future, they will definitely donate it to Polygon Bureau. Moreover, when the Polygon Bureau has donated so many schools, they also have a good impression of this charity organization. Then it will become much easier if it raises funds to do charity.
"Ah, I understand. Mr. Xia is really a genius. He can actually discover this business opportunity." Qiu Degen smiled admiringly. Such a big business opportunity was there, but he didn't even notice it. It was such a mistake.
Think about how many programs ATV has. If each naming right is sold, you will earn at least 20 to 30 million Hong Kong dollars a year. With that money, you can do the show better and make the TV series better.
Xia Tian smiled awkwardly. It’s not that he is so genius, but that this method will no longer be rare in future generations.
...
After the negotiations with Qiu Degen, the next day, the two parties officially signed the contract.
Getting six million Hong Kong dollars made Xia Tian a little proud.
After the whole event, it only cost less than 5 million Hong Kong dollars. Not only did I have the remaining money, but I could also discover so many outstanding talents. At the same time, the concept of "original songs" was widely promoted and deeply rooted in the hearts of the people. It was a great thing to win multiple goals in one fell swoop.
...
In the afternoon, Xia Tian participated in the final filming of "Best Bad Friends".
"Brother Tian, you are here." Wang Qixian happily came forward when he saw Xia Tian.
"Of course, you have a summon, dare I not come?" Xia Tian smiled.
After hearing what he said, Wang Qixian couldn't help but feel a little proud, and his heart was sweet.
"Boss." Wang Jing also smiled and said hello when he saw Xia Tian.
"Director Wang, thank you for your hard work!" Xia Tian shook hands with him.
"It's not hard." Wang Jing smiled, "Come on, I have a few people who want to introduce you to you."
Then he led Xia Tian to everyone, "This is Mr. Chen Huimin." He pointed to a man with a fierce look on his face.
Xia Tian smiled and knew that Chen Huimin was a 14K double flower red stick in the Black X club, very good at fighting, and once won the boxing championship. In the 1970s, he was known as "watch Chen Huimin on boxing and Bruce Lee on foot".
Chen Huimin has a high status in the world, but this is useless. Now Hong Kong Black X will look at everything about money. Not to mention the double flower red stick, even if you are a big boss, you won’t be able to have no money.
This is already very obvious in Du Qifeng's movie "The Years of Dragon City". As the leader of He Liansheng, Cheerji was beaten up in public by the owner of the hall. Before he could beat him, he was so scared that he ran around like a headless flies, and was hit by a car.
Chen Huimin is the one who has no money, so now he is working on a leisure club worth tens of thousands of Hong Kong dollars. Of course, with him in charge of the crew, the crew will avoid a lot of harassment.
"Hello, Mr. Chen, I have long been honored by Daqin." Xia Tian said with a smile.
"You are kind, you are kind, hello Mr. Xia." Chen Huimin said with some flattery.
Because he is a Taoist person after all, and knows that Xia Tian and Xiang brothers are close. Moreover, the Taoist people all say that he seems to have joined the new story and is also one of the big guys, but there is no substantial evidence.
Even if this rumor is not true, with Xia Tianji's financial resources and his relationship with the Xiang brothers, no one in Hong Kong dares to provoke him.
Hong Kong Black X Association has always bullied the weak and feared the strong. They only dared to collect protection fees from small vendors and small stores. No one dared to collect protection fees from HSBC Bank, and no one dared to collect protection fees from Watsons, a subsidiary of Li Jiacheng. That was purely seeking death.
"Which company has Mr. Chen signed with recently?" Xia Tian asked with a smile.
Chen Huimin shook his head. He is now a free person. He can play the role if he has a role, and he can only stay idle even if he has no roles. Because whenever an old and a dandy can be whitewashed and walk on the right path, who is willing to walk on the evil path again?
It is true that Black X will be arrogant, but in fact, it is not easy to make money. Most of them are poorer in the third and richer in the fifth. And they also have to worry about being revenge by their enemies, so how can they make money by being an actor? Otherwise, Wu Zhixiong, Li Ka-kye, Cheng Kui'an and others would not have been involved in this industry as actors.
"In this way, why not come to our company." Xia Tian said with a smile.
Chen Huimin's eyes lit up, "Is that OK? Thank you Mr. Xia for your care."
Xia Tian also smiled.
At this stage, the conflict between Hong Kong Black X Association and film companies is not deep, but in a few years, when any Hong Kong film can make tens of millions, Black X Association will invade the film industry in a large number.
He has a good relationship with the Xiang brothers, so there is no need to worry about the newcomer causing trouble for him. However, there are nearly a hundred clubs of all sizes in Hong Kong. Those clubs may not be willing to let him go, collect protection fees, grab actors, and grab directors... Even if the arrangement is flat, it will take a lot of time and energy.
Instead of running around at that time and solving one trouble after another, it is better to ask the God to go back and offer it now. Chen Huimin is a 14K double flower red stick, and where is the status of the world? If a slut wants to cause trouble, he has to consider the weight in advance. Moreover, Chen Huimin is a man in the world, and knows how to deal with these little kids, knows how to achieve a win-win situation, and will also help him avoid a lot of trouble.
"This is Miss Zhao Yazhi." Wang Jing said with a smile again.
"Ms. Zhao and I have known each other for a long time." Xia Tian said with a smile, "Hello Miss Zhao, thank you for your hard work."
Zhao Yazhi smiled slightly, "It's not hard work, Mr. Xia is polite."
When Xia Tian saw her smiling face, she was stunned and suddenly thought of Bai Suzhen, who was gentle, considerate and affectionate, and she was the best example of a good wife and mother.
"This is the real woman." He couldn't help thinking.
