Chapter 098: Take over ATV and invest in the 86 version of Journey to the West(2/3)

."

"By the way, go back and tell Zou Sheng that I bought ATV, and future cooperation may need to be done in some other way."

In the previous sentence, Cheng Long was still a bit dumbfounded. He couldn't grasp what a white female star was. I need to bring a big beauty back for you to check. Damn it, your whip is too long.

But the last sentence, "Buy ATV?" Cheng Long was dumbfounded and almost exploded on the spot.

The same goes for the several dragon and tiger martial artist followers behind him.

At the last hurricane rescue celebration banquet, Shao Daheng announced that he would transfer the theater chain to Zhao Donghuai, which was the news of a major earthquake in the film and television industry. How long has it been? More than two months? You even won ATV?

This is too crazy!

With only theaters and production companies, Zhao Donghuai is at the same tycoon level as Zou Wenhuai and Lei Juekun, but with the addition of newspapers and TV stations... he is overtaking in a corner!

Although I couldn't believe it, looking at these words, a group of ATV management members all looked respectful. Cheng Long couldn't believe it or not. After being confused for a while, Cheng Long swallowed his spit and smiled awkwardly, "Congratulations to Mr. Zhao,

It’s really…”

It's indescribably shocking.

"How does Zhao Sheng want to talk about cooperation? I can explain it to Zou Sheng when I get back."

Zhao Donghuai nodded, "If you Jiahe's drama is to be promoted through program announcements, you can cooperate with my TV station and newspaper. I will not stop normal commercial cooperation, but I also want the TV broadcast rights of some movies."

"For example, take Master Long, Ru Bo Niu, etc., and broadcast them on the TV station for free in the middle of the night."

Someone once said... Why are movie stars so much more expensive than TV stars? Because it costs money to buy a ticket to watch a movie, but not to watch TV.

This makes absolutely no sense.

Of course, movies that have not yet been released or have just been released are not suitable for free broadcast by TV stations. After all, video tapes have to be rented and sold, and the benefits of video tapes are not small.

But movies like Boniu, which look pretty good and are huge hits at the box office, and old movies that have been played countless times in video halls, can be shown on TV for free to cultivate audiences.

Bo Niu lost money, but if it was played many times, it might not help Yuen Biao and Li Saifeng to attract a group of fans to support their next movie.

The next film...yes, Lin Zhengying, Liu Guanwei, Yuan Biao, Li Saifeng and others have formed the Mr. Zombie crew and are preparing to start the film! Ah Biao will play Qiu Sheng, Hong Qinbao's Debao investment, Debao itself Zhao Donghuai is Debao's major shareholder

.

Debao Film Company, Zhao Donghuai 51%, Hong Yinbao and Shun Jianxun 49%.

This is very common. When Lei Juekun moved into New Art City, he also took 51% of the shares of New Art City, and the rest was shared by a few big shots in the film industry.

With Zhao Donghuai's participation, Lin Zhengying's popularity skyrocketed, and Yuan Biao was cast in Qiu Sheng's one-sentence role.

Cheng Long was stunned again. The movie was taken to the TV station to play...Does your ATV want to compete with TVB by showing movie channels?

After being shocked, Aaron nodded hastily, "Okay, I'll go back and tell Zou Sheng right away."

After he bent down to say hello and say goodbye, he took a few brothers and ran away in a very violent manner.

This is another big news that shocked the film and television industry.

Hong Qinbao helped Jiahe film Oriental Condor, and he took Yuan Biao, Yuan Hua and others to perform somersaults on ATV to attract box office.

ATV has been silent and has a new owner. There is absolutely nothing to explain.

In the past, he was very jealous of the senior brothers who endorsed strong beer and could get 10 cents for every can sold. For example, Ah Fa did nothing and got 200,000 yuan for nothing, or just 200,000 yuan at a time.

Even if Aaron's salary is much higher than Ah Fa's, he doesn't have that kind of way to make money.

After consulting with He Guanchang, the godfather told him not to worry, because he didn't want his Aaron's influence to further boost Zhao Donghuai's wine-selling industry.

But this is ATV's new owner. They can't go to TVB to promote their movies in the future, right? Jiahe doesn't have the conditions.

As for Director Zhao, he said that he will wait for Zou Wenhuai to come to visit. In addition, he will have to call the mainland to find talents. Another example is the rights to broadcast the 86 version of Journey to the West in Hong Kong and Macau. Should he inject some funds into Journey to the West to speed up the filming?

?

Thinking back to the 1986 version of the TV series Journey to the West, if I could describe its splendor in detail, there would be something to say, forget it... Anyway, I understand everything.

The status of this drama in the TV industry is that of Little Invincible.

There were so many beauties on the set, but over 90% of the audience was attracted by a monkey.

However, the filming process was also full of hardships. A pilot episode was filmed in 1982, and then the journey began slowly. It was not until 1986 that 11 episodes were filmed. I ran out of money and could not continue filming. I will finish the 11 episodes first.

.

We need to raise another 3 million from the railway department to finish filming the next 14 episodes.

It's all about money.

But let me tell you something, the crew of Journey to the West, from the director to the actors, all worked on this drama with an artist's attitude. Unfortunately, they did spend a bit too much money. Zhao Donghuai shot his first movie in Hong Kong Island.

The world, including publicity, only spent HK$5 million.

Dare you spend five or six million yuan on the 25th episode of Journey to the West? Based on the exchange rate of 82 to 86, the black market price of Journey to the West is more than 10 million Hong Kong dollars!

What is this concept? With this money, you can buy more than a dozen 1,000-square-foot luxury homes on Hong Kong Island. Yau Tsim is prosperous! In 2020, the housing prices in that area are not expensive at 150,000 per square meter.

In the early to mid-1980s, if you dared to make a TV series like this, it would be almost a crime if you couldn't produce a high-quality and magical drama. Fortunately, the director and actors are indeed amazing!

When Zhao Donghuai takes over ATV, he will definitely have to broadcast big dramas to increase the ratings. Journey to the West is a drama worth attracting.

However, if he wants to get it, he doesn't have to spend tens of millions of Hong Kong dollars to get the broadcast rights to Hong Kong, Hao, South Korea, island countries and other places.

To give an example, when he made his fortune for the first time, tens of thousands of Hong Kong dollars turned into more than 4 million Hong Kong dollars. It was difficult to get money. The paper mill in eastern Guangdong could not pay in Hong Kong dollars. If you wanted to accept RMB... the big factories in eastern Guangdong would not be able to settle in RMB.

?That’s funny.

Five times net profit.

Zhao Donghuai took 2 million to collect waste paper from Amei. He could earn 10 million Hong Kong dollars in profit by transporting it back to the mainland. Then the capital would be recovered. The profit would not be in Hong Kong dollars. You could settle it in RMB... After discounting the exchange rate, he would use 2 million Hong Kong dollars to buy some goods.

You can make a lot of money just by taking the net profit.

With 4 million Hong Kong dollars to purchase goods, he could easily collect 20 million Hong Kong dollars worth of RMB profits in eastern Guangdong, Shandong, Jinhai, Northern Hebei, Henan and other places, and throw them into the Journey to the West crew, let alone finish filming in one go.

25 episodes.

It won’t be difficult to shoot 40 episodes if we try to expand as much as possible.

This is a big production and a big harvest!

Spending so much money, it’s not too much to ask for exclusive broadcast rights in Asia outside the mainland.

The current director of Journey to the West has just cobbled together a dozen episodes of the sequel many years after the 1986 version, but the quality has definitely declined.

"I don't have to go to Amei to buy the goods myself. I can just find a few bodyguards and let Aqiang lead the team."

The first time Zhao Qiang went on a trip with him, he only earned 10,000 yuan. Later, when his English became better, for example, the time he bought an industrial air purifier, the salary was 100,000 yuan. This time, he asked Zhao Qiang to lead the team and gave him 200,000 yuan when he came back.

He spent a lot of money to acquire the rights to broadcast Journey to the West in various regions and Asian countries. It is not impossible for other mainland drama groups to copy the routine.

This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading the exciting content! We have to spend money to get the amazing crew to speed up the filming. Anyway, Director Zhao will not lose.

As for getting the copyright, do you need to dub it into Cantonese? No... There are many people in Hong Kong who understand Mandarin, so the Mandarin version will be broadcast directly.

Whether you like it or not, who cares about your ratings?

Even though he plays free movies after midnight, he plans to only play the Mandarin version.

After all, Director Zhao also needs mysterious power to protect himself. For example, in the last simulation of the commercial war with Keke, even if the Pan-Asia Group was dismantled, there were still a large number of mysterious people following him to help him block the gun.

In addition to cooperating with TV series, he also needs to recruit photographers. He needs a group of photographers from the mainland who are willing to play big shots. New-school action scenes are very exciting.

Let’s not talk about the sequels of Hurricane Rescue and Daredevil. It’s the Give Me a Life series and the Bourne Supremacy series. With a qualified teacher Da Si, he can escape.

There are also people practicing in Hong Kong, but the progress is average. However, they offer the same salary as photographers in Hong Kong and recruit people from the mainland... The motivation to learn is not the same.

The Hong Kong Island crew was filming in the Mainland, and a Hong Kong extra acted as a corpse, and his daily income was higher than Jet Li's monthly salary after he became famous. After all, Ajie's monthly salary was only 30 yuan.

Mainland photographers are still the main flag-bearers. As long as you dare to give them the same salary as Hong Kong Island?

"Forget it, the salary behind the scenes in photography is too low, and the money is too little to achieve great results. Set up incentives, buy a few sets of Steadicams and send them to Yangma. If there is a barely qualified Da Si there in three months,

Teacher, I will give Da Si a reward of 100,000 Hong Kong dollars for photography, and if he succeeds in half a year, I will give him 50,000 Hong Kong dollars... and then he will be paid the same price as Hong Kong Island photography."

Hundreds of thousands are just as difficult for Director Zhao to pay now. A day's net profit from Strong Beer is enough to reward a lot of qualified teachers.

But this bonus will stimulate countless people to try and hone themselves.

………………

On a new day, as soon as Li Minghui left home, he saw several handsome and upright men in suits approaching. The first one even smiled and said, "Li Sheng, one of our partner-level bosses wants to invite you to talk."

This person is A Guang.

Ah Hui looked confused and surprised, then looked at several cars and said uncertainly, "Your partner invites me to meet? Can I not go?"

Aguang smiled and took out his business card, "Formal introduction, I am Aguang, the security manager of Pan Asia Group!"

Li Minghui was so horrified that he couldn't speak clearly, "Pan Asia? New World..."

Aguang nodded, "Yes, it's the same as New World Cinema's Pan Asia, but our business is much narrower, only logistics, transportation, security and other industries."

Li Minghui grabbed Aguang's business card and looked at it for a while, recalling the exaggerated images of New World Pan-Asia Group in his mind, and finally nodded, "I'll go, but I want to ask why you are looking for me."

Aguang pointed to the tiger running on the roadside and explained, "Our partner said that he would like to find some stock brokers for some cooperation, and he thinks Li Sheng is good."

Li Minghui, "Ah, is that just that?"

…………

After a while, several cars lined up on the road to the beach. Li Minghui couldn't help feeling frightened, but he didn't dare to say anything and just waited.

It wasn't until he got on the speedboat at the beach and quickly left the shore that he discovered that there were people like him on the left and right, being taken out to sea by Pan-Asian suit boys in a speedboat.

The destination is a cargo ship adrift in the sea.

When he got on the first deck of the freighter, he saw a handsome young man sitting on the bow of the ship, grabbing a fishing rod and fishing. Near the deck, there were forty or fifty men in suits. The suits and ties were all like those in New World 1.

Standing expressionless.

Ah Hui's legs were already a little weak when he was walking, and the same stockbroker who was invited as him was also the same.

Especially when they saw some cement buckets containing people in New World 1, Li Minghui and others could hardly walk, and were held up by Aguang and others.

A moment later, several stockbrokers stopped a few meters behind the fishing guy.
