The King of Directors 2000

Chapter 167 Here Comes Shao Yifu
Huang Zongze is quite handsome, but he is not an orthodox Chinese handsome guy, not like Brother Xiaoming or Yang Yang, not only his facial features are correct, but also his temperament. He can play a soldier in a military uniform, and he is very righteous in modern costumes.

Huang Zongze's demeanor was a bit sinister. When he smiled with his mouth crooked, he was not oily and very charming, but he looked like he was going to do something bad.

But he and Yan Ni stand together, it's really a good match.

Yan Ni has the feeling of being an honest and stubborn mother. Standing up with a naughty boy like Huang Zongze, the aura of both sides is quite equal.

Li Shengyao saw the video sent by Gusu Satellite TV, and felt that these two people were very compatible, so "My name is Jin Ailing" decided that these two are the male and female protagonists.

Two days later, Li Shengyao met Huang Zongze in Yanjing, and he came to thank him.

Two days later, that is today, Li Shengyao saw Mr. Shao Yifu, the actual head of TVB.

As early as when Huang Zongxuan came to thank him, Li Shengyao had a premonition, he guessed that the top management of TVB would come.

He thought that there was a high probability that it was Fang Yat Hua, but he did not expect that it was Shao Yifu himself.

Huang Zongxuan is from TVB, and his participation in the campaign of "I am Jin Ailing" as the leading actor was originally a trial.

After what happened later, the two parties basically have an intention, but they haven't made it clear yet.

Shao Yifu was older than Lee Shengyao imagined, very thin, he could no longer support his clothes, and he spoke very slowly, but his enunciation was still very clear.

He is from Shanghai, and even though he has been away for decades, he still speaks with a Shanghai accent.

"Director Li, I came here this time because I want to cooperate with you."

They are all smart people, it's meaningless to be sloppy, Li Shengyao nodded, "How do you want to cooperate, senior?"

"Director Li, the distribution of broadcasting rights in China and Hong Kong Island is like that between you and Gusu Satellite TV and Shanghai City Satellite TV. How about it?"

"no problem."

Shao Yifu looked at Li Shengyao with a pair of old eyes, and then slowly said: "Overseas, we are four or six, our TVB is four, and your Fenghua Film and Television Company is six."

Li Shengyao smiled, then met Shao Yifu's gaze, "Senior, do you know why I want to cooperate with TVB?"

"If you have a cooperative TV station in the mainland, you must also have one overseas. Only in this way can you maximize your influence."

Li Shengyao shook his head, "Not really."

"no?"

Not only Shao Yifu, many people behind him looked at Li Shengyao in puzzlement.

"No, now we have cooperated with Xinmatai and even TV stations in the Philippine Islands. I shoot TV series in China and I can sell them to them. Why should I find an overseas partner to share the money?"

"Then what's your reason?"

Shao Yifu's tone was a bit indifferent, and his eyes were much more serious. He has experienced too many fights in his life, and he habitually thinks of things on the bad side.

He guessed that with Lee Seung Yew's current prestige and status, looking for TVB was the above meaning.

Although he has donated many schools, TVB is his heart and blood. He gave up Shaw Brothers Production Company and Shaw Brothers Theaters in Hong Kong Island, but he will never give up TVB.

It can be said that TVB is the foundation of their family. With TVB, they have the right to speak, and no one can underestimate them.

"Senior, don't think too much."

Li Shengyao smiled, picked up his teacup, took a sip of tea, and then said: "I don't look for mainland TV stations because there are some dramas that cannot pass the trial in the mainland, so I need overseas partners."

"These dramas will not be introduced to mainland TV stations, but will only be sold overseas."

When Uku Tupox is established, such dramas can be sold to webcasting platforms, but not yet.

Shao Yifu breathed a sigh of relief, and then he thought of the crux of the problem.

"According to what you said, shouldn't it be more distributed to partners? Otherwise, wouldn't other people lose money."

"Young people, four or six points are not enough. Overseas should be five or five points."

The old man thought very beautifully.

Li Shengyao shook his head with a smile, "Senior, it is true that these dramas cannot be shown in the mainland, but these dramas are more fantasy, more gimmick, easier to sell outside, and can make more money."

"Besides, an ordinary TVB urban drama costs 30 to 50 for an episode. If we cooperate, even if the cost is 40, you and I will each contribute 20. Isn't your cost reduced a lot?"

"It can be said that only in Hong Kong Island, if the ratings are good for a 20-episode drama, you will earn money."

"TVB's cooperation with Fenghua is entirely for money. This part of the money does not belong to TVB. There are companies in Po Village looking for me, and there are also Wanwan. Even people in Peninsula want to ask me to cooperate."

"I refused all of them because I believe in your credit, senior, and I hope to develop and make progress together with you."

"How do we cooperate? Overseas share is [-]% to [-]%, Fenghua [-]% and TVB [-]%. Otherwise, domestic TV stations are not satisfied and think I prefer TVB, which is very troublesome for me."

Shao Yifu nodded when he heard the words, but he didn't make a sound, just listened quietly.

There was no sound in the meeting room for about 3 minutes.

The footsteps of the employees outside are particularly obvious, as well as the sound of cars under the building.

Li Shengyao sat quietly and didn't say much.

What he said was the truth, it would be of no benefit to TVB, it was all about making money.

Although he respected Shao Yifu, it was impossible to give up the benefits.

"Young man, [-] to [-], I will take you to charity."

Shao Yifu's charity is indeed very good. Many people want to follow suit, but others are not willing to take it with them.

Li Shengyao was slightly moved when he heard this, but he calmed down quickly.

The so-called rather a chicken head than a phoenix tail.

Could it be that there will be a "Shaw Building" in the future, and a "Shengyao Building" will also be built.

There is no need to learn from Shao Yifu, he naturally wants to do public welfare.

It is good to donate a basketball court. The domestic teenagers will soon turn to basketball because of Dayao's entry into the NBA and the decline of the national football team. In the future, a basketball court will be built every month, called Shengyao basketball court.

In that case, tens of thousands of tigers and irritable brothers, at least they won't draw their swords against each other just because he has messed with so many goddesses.

He should not have the treatment of Zhao Youting.

You basketball bastards, don't play on my donated court and curse me for three seconds.

"Senior, seven or three points, there is nothing to say about that."

"You are really difficult to deal with. Okay, I promise you, prepare a contract. In addition to our cooperation, I also want to buy "Full House", "Signal", "Stairway to Heaven", and it will be cheaper."

"Senior, it must be cheap, 15 an episode."

Different regions require different strategies.

The average TVB urban self-produced drama is 40 an episode, and if you buy an episode of 20, if the ratings are high, you can still earn a lot.

ATV was too poor before, only [-] episodes, if replaced by the previous ATV, Lee Sing Yew would not sell it so cheaply.

Shao Yifu was stunned for a moment, then waved his hand, "Okay, hurry up and sign the contract."
