Huayu: Director started with art films

Thirty-six beauties surrounded the center of the stage, forming a semicircle.

As Huang Zihua and Wan Qiwen shouted: "The first Miss Asia beauty pageant has been successfully completed!"

There was a boom.

The huge colorful ball on the ceiling exploded.

Countless golden confetti fireworks fell from the sky, like a grand golden rain.

Accompanied by the passionate and cheerful music, Tan Yonglin and Zhang Guorong walked onto the stage one on the left and one on the right. Holding the microphone, they began to sing "Karaoke is Always OK".

There were many foreign audiences at the scene. Although they could not understand Cantonese songs, they still swayed their bodies to the cheerful music.

On the stage, the beauties showed off their graceful dancing moves. The most enthusiastic one was Karina after winning the championship. She was so excited at the moment as if she had won a five million dollar prize.

Wearing a crown and holding a scepter, she stood in the center of the stage and began to perform her signature dance "belly dance" that won her all the way to victory towards the photographer with a camera, although she was wearing a dress, not a professional belly dance costume.

But precisely because it was not professional attire, it looked so choppy, leaving the male viewers in front of the TV stunned and drooling.

Li Yishu looked at the beauties on the stage, each of whom was vying to show themselves in front of the final camera, and then looked at the crowd dancing in the audience, and couldn't help but chuckle.

Huo Wenxi wants to turn the scene into a disco.

But to be honest, the beauty pageants of that time were still interesting. They were nothing like the later beauty pageants which were too highbrow and not popular among the general public.

At this time, Zhang Guorong walked to his side and handed the microphone directly to Li Yishu. At this moment, the photographer noticed this scene and immediately pointed the camera at his boss.

At this time, Tan Yonglin also came to join in the fun, holding the microphone and singing while raising his hand: "No matter whether yesterday or tomorrow is right or wrong, this is my only unchanging fortress..."

Li Yishu glanced at the two of them, then turned to the microphone and sang along: "No matter whether it's happy or sad, karaoke will always be OK. Even if dreams are shattered, karaoke will still be OK!"

Listening to Li Yishu's poor Cantonese, Zhang Guorong laughed, but did not let him continue singing. He took back the microphone and continued singing with Tan Yonglin.

As the camera was focused on the two of them, Lee Yi-su quickly left the stage.

Li Yishu stood in the audience, watching the two people continue singing on the stage, and found it quite interesting.

Ever since the rivalry between Alan Tam and Leslie Cheung, it seems that the two of them have never sung a song together again. I don't know how Huo Wenxi invited them to sing together.

As soon as the song ended, Zhang Guorong's classic dance music "Monica" sounded again.

Gong Li appeared behind him at some point and asked with a smile, "Why don't you continue to sing on stage?"

Li Yishu shook her head: "I don't speak Cantonese, what am I going to do there?"

"You can't? Didn't you sing those two lines very well?"

"What's good? Just a few words to fool around."

Li Yishu glanced at her watch and saw that it was almost ten o'clock. She estimated that the live broadcast would soon be over, so she said to Gong Li, "It's almost time. Let's go back first. I have to go to the TV station tomorrow morning."

"Don't want to continue watching?"

"It's almost over. There's nothing to see."

"I mean you don't want to wait until the competition is over and go find your belly dancer Karina?"

"If I'm going to find someone, I'll find you. Stop being jealous."

Hearing this, Gong Li snorted a few words and did not continue arguing with Li Yishu. The two went backstage together. After that, Li Yishu said a few words to the director on the scene and left the cultural center through the side door backstage.

It's better to leave now, otherwise thousands of people will come out later and it will not be easy to leave.

Early the next morning.

Both sides of the Taiwan Strait and Hong Kong and Macau all reported on the Miss Asia beauty pageant finals held at the Hong Kong Cultural Center last night.

Japan, South Korea and some Southeast Asian countries that were able to watch ATV's live broadcast also reported this grand event.

India was the most excited. At that time, India had not yet become the Indian who later defied everyone and everyone and thought himself to be the third best in the world.

Today, due to serious deficiencies in their economy and national strength, their per capita GDP is only US$373, ranking 160th in the world, almost at the bottom. This has also led to their high lack of confidence in their own culture.

Moreover, the Bollywood, which will become famous in the future, is now only popular in India and has not left their country at all.

On the other hand, Hong Kong films have not only swept East Asia and Southeast Asia, but even Indians in the South Asian subcontinent love Hong Kong films, especially Jackie Chan's kung fu films.

All of this made the whole of India go wild with excitement when they learned that their beauty had won the Miss Asia beauty pageant and became the most beautiful woman in Asia!
Major news media organizations began to report on this incident.

Their president Sharma even highly praised Kareena as a role model of contemporary Indian women when he was interviewed by reporters at an official event.

Especially when he learned that the other party did not forget her hometown after winning the championship, he immediately waved his hand and told the reporters that the government would definitely change the poverty in Karina's hometown.

For a time, Indian men admired Karina and women envied Karina...

In addition to the Indian people who were in a carnival, Koreans were also in another carnival. Although Lee Young-ae failed to win the championship, she won the runner-up, which was also a very good result, which led to her popularity in South Korea soaring.

The third place winner, Padjongpa Sachu, has also rapidly gained fame in Thailand. It is said that some Thai brands have come to Hong Kong to seek her as their spokesperson.

It can be said that the top three have gained huge fame while also bringing them huge profits.

Asia Television.

In the conference room, middle and senior management from all departments have arrived.

With a click, the door opened and Li Yishu walked in with Huo Wenxi. More than 30 people at the scene stood up and shouted, "Chairman Li!"

"Well, everyone sit down."

Li Yishu waved for everyone to sit down as he walked. However, those who could become middle and senior management were naturally not fools. How could they choose to sit down when the big boss didn't?
It was not until Li Yishu sat down that everyone else sat down.

Li Yishu said, "Director Huo, tell me the details of this beauty pageant."

"Okay, Chairman Li." Huo Wenxi nodded, took out the report he had prepared in advance, and began to report: "This year we held the first Miss Asia beauty pageant, with auditions in 36 countries, and a total of nearly 1.5 million people participated in the auditions..."

This year's Miss Asia beauty pageant was held with great fanfare.

There are only 48 countries in the whole Asian region, and 36 of them have held auditions. However, the countries that really triggered the audition wave are mainly East Asian and Southeast Asian countries, followed by South Asian countries such as India and Bangladesh.

West Asia has the least number of participants, as many places there are still at war, and almost two-thirds of the countries there did not participate in the auditions.

Countries such as Uzbekistan in Central Asia only hold auditions on a small scale, and they are all secular countries.

Li Yishu asked again, "How much is the income?"

"Because of the audition competition, we only cooperated with TV stations in various countries and did not charge any fees, so the income this time mainly came from the various advertisements and activities undertaken by our TV station."

"So far, the revenue from advertising and events is about 1.1 million US dollars. After deducting the expenses of hosting the competition, the TV station's revenue should be more than 7000 million US dollars..."

In order to host the Miss Asia beauty pageant, ATV spent a lot of money. The venue layout and contestant training are just a small part of the cost. The real big expense was in upgrading the live broadcast equipment, purchasing the latest high-definition cameras, external publicity, etc.

Read the error-free version at 69shuba! 6=9+shu_ba is the first to publish this novel.

As Huo Wenxi responded, Li Yishu gradually revealed a satisfied smile. This year's Miss Asia beauty pageant can be said to have been held very smoothly, although there were some problems during the period, such as the delay of the auditions and the inability to hold the finals as scheduled.

But this is not a crime of war.

"Not bad!"

Li Yishu smiled and looked at everyone in the conference room: "The success of this year's Miss Asia beauty pageant is inseparable from the joint efforts of everyone. I will discuss with Director Lin and Director Yang later and take out 10% of this year's TV station income as a bonus for all TV station staff."

Upon hearing this, the middle and senior management at the scene suddenly brightened up.

The TV station’s revenue this year should not be less than 80 million U.S. dollars. After all, a beauty pageant alone earned 70 million U.S. dollars.

Converted into Hong Kong dollars, that would be a full 6.4 million Hong Kong dollars.

If one tenth of it is used for bonuses, that's 6400 million Hong Kong dollars. There are only more than 20 staff members in Taiwan, so even if it is divided equally, it will be .

What's more, the distribution to the staff below is mainly based on a few months' salary, but what is given to these middle and senior managers is probably a large bonus.

Seeing Li Yishu giving out 10% of the income without even a word, Huo Wenxi felt a little distressed, but since the big boss had spoken, she naturally couldn't say anything. She just knocked on the table and said seriously, "Chairman Li has given out 10% of the income as your bonus, so next year you must continue to work hard and don't let down the benefits that Chairman Li has fought for for everyone."

"Don't worry, Director Huo, we will work hard next year!"

"Yes, Director Huo, we will definitely continue our efforts next year."

"Please rest assured, Chairman Li, our program department will definitely produce more excellent programs next year."

"..."

Perhaps the bonus was about to be received, and everyone didn't care about what Huo Wenxi said. They all patted their chests excitedly and swear to be loyal to the TV station and Chairman Li until death.

"Okay, let's talk about next year next year."

Li Yishu smiled and calmed everyone down, then continued, "Next year, our Art Media Group will be conducting its first round of financing. All of you here are middle and senior management of the TV station. When the TV station goes public in the future, you will all have the hope of getting options, so you just need to work hard for yourself!"

He never expected his employees to work hard or be loyal without any benefits, so he directly offered them options as a temptation.

ATV withdrew from the stock market after Li Yishu participated in the acquisition. If the Art Media Group wants to go public in the future, it must first list the TV station. Then these middle and senior management will be able to get certain options after the TV station is listed.

As expected, when they learned that the TV station would be listed in the future and they had the hope of receiving options, their breathing became heavier and their eyes widened.

Li Yishu smiled and said, "Okay, that's all for today. You can go back and tell the people below that the year-end is not far away and the bonuses are ready. Who gets more and who gets less depends on how hard they work!"

The boss spoke, and everyone left one after another. After everyone left, Huo Wenxi said, "Boss, isn't it a bit too much for you to take out 10% as a bonus?"

"Without motivation, how can we motivate employees? Didn't you say that you will promote the Voice of Asia next year? By then, we will have to arrange for employees to visit various countries, negotiate profit sharing with local TV stations, promote the second Miss Asia beauty pageant, and produce programs and TV series..."

Hearing this, Huo Wenxi hesitated a little: "But I feel it's still a little too much. The current salary of the middle and low-level employees in the station is only about 6. This year I expect to have at least 10 million in revenue. 6000% is a full million!"

The wage levels in Hong Kong are different from those in the mainland. Currently, the per capita income in Hong Kong is between 8,000 and 15,000.

The salaries at ATV are considered high, basically over HK$10,000.

"The distribution will be based on each employee's performance this year. First, let the heads of each department conduct an end-of-year evaluation of their subordinates, and outstanding employees will receive more."

Li Yishu said: "If there is any money left, we will hold a grand annual party and invite some singers to perform. It will be lively. I guess the TV station will have to hire more people next year. We can use the year-end bonus and the year-end party to let the outside world take a good look at our salary and welfare standards at ATV."

Hearing this, Huo Wenxi's eyes lit up, thinking that this might be a good idea.

Huo Wenxi said quickly: "Boss, how about this? I will contract the Hung Hom Stadium for the year-end meeting. Then I can invite a bunch of singers and celebrities to come. We can sell tickets while looking for sponsorship from advertisers..."

Ok?
Li Yishu tilted her head and looked at the talkative Huo Wenxi. She had to admit that the simple little assistant at the beginning had now become a thorough capitalist.

Even the year-end party is remembered.

But to be honest, if we do this, I believe many people will be willing to come.

Nowadays, concerts in Hong Kong are basically dominated by individuals, with a few friends occasionally invited to support. If you want to see dozens or hundreds of stars in a concert, the only options are major evening parties and TV programs.

"You decide for yourself." Li Yishu glanced at his watch and said, "I will meet with Mr. Yang, Mr. Lin and others this afternoon to discuss financing. I have to fly directly to Shanghai in the evening, so I don't have time to come."

"That……"

When Huo Wenxi heard that Li Yishu was leaving that night, he stood up and walked behind Li Yishu, put his hands on his shoulders, leaned his head closer, and said with a smile: "Boss, do you want to go to the lounge in my office to rest for a while?"

Li Yishu glanced at her watch and said, "You only have one hour." (End of this chapter)
