Entertainment tycoon since 83

Chapter 176: Start Copying

"Ha ha……"

Shao Yifu, who was called Uncle Shao, pushed up his glasses, put down the newspaper in his hand, and said to his confidante Fang Yihua, "This group of reporters has started again, hoping that the world will not be in chaos."

"He even beat the master to death with random punches."

"I admit that the young man did a pretty good job in the movie."

"But the TV..."

"I heard he also invited Liang Shuyi, haha!"

"Liang Shuyi is also very capable, right?" Fang Yihua said, "At the beginning, Jiayi TV could only be said to be unlucky. During prime time, it could only broadcast educational films, which were just programs teaching people how to weld. It was normal that it could not sustain itself."

"He spends money lavishly. If he hadn't done that, Jiayi might not have closed down in three years."

Shao Yi-fu soon started talking about other things with his confidante.

As for the change of ownership of ATV, he actually didn't take it seriously.

Why have I encountered so many opponents over the years?

They came in with great momentum in the early days, poaching people on a large scale, and looked prosperous, but in the end, everyone ended up ruining themselves.

Haha, if you don’t lose money by paying those artists such high salaries, then who will?

Even with this, you still want to challenge TVB. Do you really think that so many of my behind-the-scenes staff have been supported in vain for decades?

……

ATV Building.

Huang Ze sat on Qiu Degen’s desk, supporting his body with both hands, feeling indescribably relaxed.

My own entertainment empire has finally taken a solid and powerful step forward!

Moreover, with the TV station as a mouthpiece, our sense of security is even more guaranteed.

This is much more effective than newspaper publicity.

"Of course, we still have to build the TV station first! Otherwise, even our farts won't make any noise."

"First, recruit talents!"

"But there's no need to recruit actors and hosts. Huang Ze doesn't think that other than those few specific actors, others are irreplaceable. As for a TV series, it still depends on the plot."

"It's enough to attack the screenwriter." Huang Ze quickly wrote a few names on the paper and couldn't help laughing, "Hehehe!"

"Uncle Shao, Uncle Shao, don't blame me, a young man, for not following martial ethics and attacking an old man like you who is over 80 years old."

Throwing away the pen, Huang Ze lay down on the seat with his hands on the back of his head, quietly enjoying this moment.

After an unknown amount of time, Huang Ze had enough of the fun and called Liang Shuyi over. "Boss Liang, don't you want to poach people? Go poach these three first."

Liang Shuyi looked down.

"Qi Qiyi." Liang Shuyi recalled, "I know him."

“That’s good.” Huang Ze also knew him. He could write and direct. His most famous work should be “Beauty’s Rival in Palace” in 04.

"Wei Jiahui?"

"Dentsey?"

"I've never heard of these people." Liang Shuyi shook her head.

"It's cheap because you haven't heard of them!" Huang Ze made a gesture of encouragement, "Go and poach them. In addition to increasing their salaries, I'll also give them a rosy picture. If they come here, they'll have a great chance to direct TV dramas. If they perform well enough, my film company can invest in them to make movies!"

I had to rack my brains to dig these people out from my memory.

They are all considered big names among Hong Kong TV drama screenwriters and directors.

Wei Jiahui, "Big Times", and later also filmed the movie "The Birth of a Star".

Dentsey wrote the screenplay for "The Unforgiven", and wrote and directed "Heart of Greed" and "The Magistrate".

Basically, they are people who are not famous now but will become famous soon.

Huang Ze was still willing to make this promise for them. "Okay! I'll do it right away."

Liang Shuyi was a little confused as to why Huang Ze would poach two people whose names she had barely heard of.

I feel that this boss is a bit stingy.

But after all, the other party was the one who gave her the opportunity to get back in touch with TVB's Run Run Shaw. Plus, he had just taken over ATV, so it was normal that he didn't make any big moves. She could understand that.

"I just don't know if there will be no big moves."

With a beating heart, Liang Shuyi looked at Huang Ze without saying anything again. Finally, she turned around and walked out without saying anything.

Huang Ze also knew what Liang Shuyi wanted to say and picked up the pen again.

It is impossible to write a specific TV drama script.

It's too much effort.

A TV script can be much longer than a movie script.

I'm not shooting it myself, so why bother? I'm not paying so many screenwriters to learn from Wang Jiawei and fail to deliver a movie script in three months.

but……

In order to make your own TV station profitable first, you don't need to invest huge amounts of money into it every year. It is okay to write two outlines and let the screenwriters expand on them.

I can't write more than a few thousand words in total.

The first one must be "Judge Bao".

Back then, Jin Chaoqiong's version of "Justice Bao" was really popular across Taiwan, Mainland China and Hong Kong.

Taiwan and Hong Kong Island are all very popular, even Japan is quite popular.

It has won the ratings championship in Hong Kong Island for two consecutive years.

This caused both sides to film Bao Zheng to compete for ratings. As soon as you turned on the TV, you saw a black face. As soon as you turned on the TV, you saw a black face.

And most importantly, it’s long!

In the previous life, the TV series "Justice Bao" was filmed for more than 200 episodes. If it occupied the prime time, with two episodes a day, it could dominate the screen for half a year.

The protagonist Bao Zheng did not need to be changed, and Huang Ze could not think of a more suitable actor, so he went to find Jin Chaoqiong and He Jiajin. Huang Ze specially wrote some extra notes for these two people.

As for other supporting roles, it’s up to you, the director will decide when the time comes.

"There is a Bao Qingtian in Kaifeng, who is impartial and just in distinguishing between loyalty and treachery"

"The heroes of the world came to help, Wang Chao and Ma Han are by my side..."

"Yesterday was like the flowing water, it left me far away and I couldn't stay."

"Today is a chaotic day and my heart is filled with worries."

"Draw a sword to cut off the water, the water will flow even more; drink a cup to dispel sorrow, the sorrow will only be more sorrowful..."

While humming a song, I wrote an outline of two to three thousand words, and also wrote dozens of original lines, specifically noting that it should have a Peking Opera feel, and finally came up with two lyrics and music scores.

Huang Ze put away the outline, stretched his wrists, and started writing the next outline.

With "Judge Bao" as a back-up, Huang Ze wanted to come up with a story that would look more fancy in this time period.

This is a script about two police officers who communicate across time and space through a walkie-talkie and work together to solve a case.

Huang Ze followed the general plot of the Korean drama "Signal" that he had watched in his previous life.

As for the specific cases, they must be adapted to the local market. Let the screenwriters adapt them themselves, keeping the two time and space connected, and the setting that the previous time and space will affect the later generations is fine.

"another one!"

Huang Ze became more and more excited as he wrote. He picked up his pen and prepared to reproduce another TV series, but suddenly he remembered that there was a lack of variety shows.

Forehead!
This thing is great!
If done well, it can both increase ratings and sell copyrights.

By selling a little in this country and a little in that country, ATV may be able to break the dilemma of losing money and achieve profitability.
