My Lord, you need to stand up!

Chapter 874 Overstepping Boundaries
The boss didn't even go home; he was completely stationed at the TV station.

They immediately dispatched a team to Singapore, Malaysia, and Thailand to find Chow Yun-fat and film the Hong Kong basketball team in various locations.
Then establish a series of categorized "section" departments, such as sports, music, film and television, finance, news, and variety shows;
Send people to the offices of Kungfu Software and Sound Card Company in Los Angeles, set up a space in the Citibank office, and recruit people to start comprehensive collection of European and American news;
Send people to Shanghai and Shenzhen to establish inland offices and form news and financial information teams;
In Singapore, Japan, South Korea, and even in Europe, Africa, and the Middle East, informants are set up in various locations using the model of international students and their relatives and friends.

All the original technical personnel were brought together to form a back-end technical maintenance company;
Clean up all television station assets and filming locations, reduce all expenses for producing TV dramas, and increase benefits for the television station's technical department;
A senior technical executive who had quietly ensured that all the original programs could continue to be broadcast during the TV station's transformation period was promoted to general manager, instead of Jiang Jialing or Rong Gu as everyone had previously thought.
……

In short, with "Descendants of the Dragon" sweeping Hong Kong Island like a typhoon, the entire staff of Asia Television saw the new boss's energetic 24-hour participation in the revamp!

Hong Kong's defining characteristic is its internationalization.

Therefore, it can receive information from all over the world in a very open manner; whether the public can receive it or like it is another matter.

Anyway, daytime is Asian time, and nighttime is Citibank time.

Many people working in finance, futures, and foreign trade work at night.

Asia Television also provides 24-hour coverage!

So everyone could see the boss watching Citibank news closely in the studio at midnight, early morning, and morning, and even sleeping on the floor in the studio to control and select information in real time!

Hong Kong can receive some international satellite broadcasts, but that means the information channels are limited and not comprehensive enough; you can only see what others want to see.

Citibank's offices now collect all news and information videotapes from the major television networks and send them back in large stacks via airmail twice a day.

The latest news will be available about a day later, but the content will be detailed and comprehensive, allowing you to select a large number of images.

Five or six channels in other parts of Europe, and one or two channels in Africa and the Middle East will suffice.

At present, the main task in mainland China is to form interview teams and apply for official permits. They should not even do things like recording TV programs or collecting newspaper news.

To avoid being mistaken for an intelligence-gathering spy.

Actually, in Hong Kong, you can receive programs from the Brick Channel.

This immediately gave Wei Dong the feeling of returning to the Internet age.

A true information explosion.

He personally led the team to search and train people step by step, deciding which news stories could be immediately extracted, captioned, and adapted for their own use, which could be embellished and sensationalized to attract attention, and which could be used as topics of debate in talk shows.

He only watched a lot of videos as a netizen later on, and his depth, professionalism, and professional level were all zero, but he could provide guidance for current Asian television directors.

Each news item is fifteen to twenty seconds long, similar to short videos on social media, with subtitles, voice-over, and content to complement each other, emphasizing raw, authentic, and novel content!

Whether it's financial, political, social, technological, or business news, it has to be the kind that's shocking and outrageous.

Forget lukewarm, plain water; even news from Europe has to be related to Hong Kong to be considered acceptable content.

The TV crew members were immediately amazed; could this really be done?
They immediately began to apply what they learned to other situations.

They've even been subtly trying to broadcast it in current news programs...

As expected, it started to spark discussion among citizens!
After all, in just a few days, news of Asia Television's dramatic acquisition had spread throughout Hong Kong.

All the media outlets are watching closely.

From the female CEO's demeanor during a typhoon to the male boss's speaking style inside a TV station, as well as various interviews and comments from former senior executives and leaked information from internal employees.

They can easily attract the attention of film, television, and radio professionals throughout Hong Kong.

The public reacted more like they were watching a gossip drama about business.

The TV channels seem unchanged, but the stock price has plummeted. It is said that various asset tycoons are trying to buy it at the bottom, but the majority of the shares and all management voting rights are in the hands of the young couple, and they will not accept any acquisition.

So far, apart from the basketball court at the pier, Bo Tsai Tung has not had any other officially established local businesses in Hong Kong. He has invested in several films with mixed results. Now he has taken over the TV station. Is he trying to turn this place into a "red" place?
Such remarks have been widely amplified in various media outlets.

Now that I can see some changes in the news programs, I'm even more curious about what they will become.

The relevant Hong Kong authorities remained silent at this time.

Because apart from RTHK Radio, which is an official organization, other television and radio stations are commercial entities that need to lease frequencies from the Hong Kong government and accept content censorship, but they have no say in who owns the business.

However, ATV did not approve any of the various change requests it submitted, which strongly suggested they were waiting to see how things would go.

Then let's get right to the full-scale redesign! In Hong Kong, there are still more people willing to respond to this kind of change than on the mainland.

They are open-minded and have almost no reservations.

The entire crew is busy every day going in and out of various outdoor shooting locations. The female CEO bought ten Dodge minivans, and before they could even be registered, they were directly assigned to all the teams for use.

In just two days, after Wei Dong had set out the path of catching news from abroad, he sat in the conference room and started watching all sorts of "short videos" that had been filmed, and then kept making revisions!
What you shoot isn't important; what matters is capturing a style that grabs people's attention within a few dozen seconds.

In fact, as long as he points out this key point, the Hong Kong television professionals are very capable at this time.

The main thing is that I was amazed that the boss, who clearly seemed to be a complete novice, actually had unique insights into the final product.

Heaven knows that after watching short videos for over ten years, Wei Dong has long since reached the point where he feels uncomfortable if anything seems off in a particular clip.

He might not be able to articulate exactly what it is or how to change it, but just by pointing to that spot, the TV directors would immediately understand and be filled with admiration as they went to redo it.

Two or three days later, almost everyone started to go crazy, with thousands of people crowding the TV station headquarters building every day!
Many variety shows and talk shows have started to invite their friends, family, and even colleagues from neighboring TVB, HK radio, and Commercial Radio to participate and assist.

Many writers and people in the performing arts were curious and eager to participate in this "free" creative participation model.

Wei Dong practically lived and worked in the conference room, spending 24 hours a day in meetings with a bunch of people he was becoming increasingly familiar with, such as the program director, content director, and head of the review department, slumped in their swivel chairs with very unseemly posture.

When I get tired, I roll into the sleeping bag, blanket, or quilt next to me for a nap. When I wake up, I wash my face and climb back into my seat to continue.

The review process never stops!
The two whiteboards on the adjacent wall are filled with lists of various sections for different time periods, and the gaps between them are getting denser and denser.

Wei Dong, who was lounging lazily but with sharp eyes, watched as the content director put in another new videotape: "Oh dear, this...this..."

Before he could even recall the name, an assistant hurriedly burst open the conference room door: "A work vehicle was overturned, and three actors, the director, and the driver were injured. The perpetrator dragged them and the others who were lucky enough to escape from the vehicle and fled!"

Mudd!

Everyone in the conference room was cursing. They were already so busy, and this kind of nonsense still had to happen.

But then, with bright eyes, he looked at his boss and immediately got up to go to the scene to see the injured employee.

Leading by example and enduring the hardships alongside everyone for several days, it was indeed easy for all the subordinates to feel a close bond as if they were fighting in the same trench, and they especially identified with their lord.

Now that they are going to the front lines despite their exhaustion, it makes people feel even more at home.

The general manager and the HR director both stood up and said they wanted to go with the boss.

Wei Dong pointed to the projected image: "No need, you guys hurry up. This is Zheng Zhiwei, right? His variety show can be aired during prime time. Start filming a few more segments right away..."

Then he rushed out the door.

The room full of high-level content moderators were left looking at each other in bewilderment; they had only just watched the beginning of the video!
But there was no time for doubts at this point, so they immediately invited this short man, who was quite well-known in the industry, to discuss the details of the contract.

Who told Wei Dong that among almost all Hong Kong entertainers, this was the only one who knew about hosting variety shows?

I put on the coat my wife had given me and set off.

Qin Yuye didn't join in the sauna and smoke in the conference room, but she also rarely went home. She slept in the rest room of the boss's office, looking beautiful and dignified every day, taking care of all the food, drink, and daily needs of the entire TV station, making everyone realize that this boss lady in her early twenties was shrewd and capable.

Those who want to climb the social ladder by using their crotch as a stepping stone, save your breath!
Especially now that everyone has witnessed the prowess of the other third young lady, just when they thought they had escaped the stinginess of Uncle De's family, they are now determined not to betray their own family. Any attempt to take advantage of the TV station will have serious consequences. Rumor has it that there are already gangsters from Hesheng lurking in the security department!

Shen Cuiyue said the same thing to Rang Weidong: "Bring enough people. That Stephen Chow movie is a hit, and I heard that some people in the underworld are asking about his contract..."

Including the premiere day when Uncle Tak negotiated the transfer, "Legend of the Dragon" has already grossed HK$20 million in six days!
Stephen Chow's cartoonish, exaggerated humor, Uncle Da's perfect pairing, and the unbelievable contrast of Ah Qian being so beautiful yet constantly playing ugly.

The public in Hong Kong was overjoyed by this comedy film that seemed to have fallen from the sky.

Newspapers are now filled with comments wondering if this box office performance will surpass the previous record of 30 million in ten days set by "God of Gamblers".

Therefore, compared to Chow Yun-fat, who has already been scrambling to sign contracts for more than ten films, and Lau Tak-wah, who is constantly making films with guns pointed at him, and Lung Chung, who is completely protected by his company and stuntmen, this newly emerging rookie with no experience will naturally attract the envy of others.

Wei Dong nodded, and the two Hesheng leaders he brought with him immediately concluded that it was the people from Xin'an who were making their move!

They've gone too far!
