The world begins with Hong Kong movies

Chapter 495 Powerful Channel! (Seeking monthly votes)
If you own a television station, you should make the most of its advantages.

Not to mention, ATV had already gone satellite TV by then, so it had to show enough strength, otherwise it would easily provoke a united attack from many competitors.

According to rumors Wu Feng heard, not only TVB wanted to go satellite TV, but several TV stations in Taiwan had also sent similar signals.

Not to mention the TV stations of Universe Country and Little Life, they also have the same idea, after all, ATV set a good precedent for them.

Which powerful and ambitious television station wouldn't want to have intercontinental influence and a voice in public opinion?

At least before the internet boom and the full-blown smartphone era, such public opinion influence was quite important.

In fact, television programs and dramas, and even live news broadcasts, can produce immediate results as long as you are willing to invest money.

Just think about the Korean Wave that swept across Asia in later generations, and you'll understand.

In his previous life, Wu Feng had read an entertainment novel that offered a deep analysis of the Chinese entertainment industry, explaining things very clearly.

The peak of the Korean Wave was around 2010 to 2016, the period when the ban on Korean entertainment was introduced. Just how rampant was the Korean Wave in mainland China?

With the exception of Jay Chou, almost the entire Chinese music scene has fallen victim to this.

Because of the Korean wave, idol groups from all over the world have emerged one after another, and various musical styles have also deeply influenced the music scene in mainland China.

Just like when the Hong Kong music scene was at its peak, Miyuki Nakajima's music supported half of the Hong Kong music scene.

The mainland music industry shamelessly translates popular Korean songs and music into Chinese, easily reaping money from fans in mainland China.

Back then, in the Chinese music scene, it wouldn't be an exaggeration to say that Jay Chou single-handedly fought against the entire Korean wave and various mainland singers who adapted Korean songs into Chinese. That's why people say Jay Chou is amazing.

At its peak, Hong Kong's entertainment industry, especially the film sector, was extremely powerful.

But back then, the mainland entertainment industry was truly beyond words.

Japanese entertainment, in particular, is quite dominant in the anime and manga sector in mainland China.

To achieve these things, all you need to do is be willing to spend money.

The sports channel is the channel that Wu Feng considers the most important.

At least in the short term, even the major television stations of the Universe Country and Little Life will find it difficult to catch up.

At this point, the football foundation of both countries had fallen behind that of the Hong Kong professional football league, and it was hard to say whether they could even match the level of football in the affected mainland.

ATV Sports Channel will also broadcast the exciting matches of the Hong Kong Island Professional Football League, and the influence of the event is gradually spreading.

Not to mention, both Wu Feng and Jiang Tiansheng have clubs that are top-tier European teams under their management.

Even if the Cosmic Kingdom and the Little Life Conglomerate want to learn, they may not achieve much in a short period of time.

Unless the economic situation is extremely bad, it is virtually impossible to buy a top-tier football team.

For ordinary teams, sometimes simply throwing money at the problem won't guarantee quick results.

Chelsea is an exception!
In fact, before Roman took over Chelsea, the team was already considered one of the strongest in the Premier League.

The previous owner's policy of aging veteran players has allowed Chelsea to retain a large number of experienced veteran players who still possess considerable skill.

With experienced players mentoring younger ones, Chelsea's immediate fighting strength is already quite impressive.

The arrival of the Russian tycoon merely strengthened the team in various aspects; it didn't constitute rebuilding the team entirely. However, Wu Feng and Jiang Tiansheng essentially rebuilt the club they acquired.

Without their meddling, it would have been impossible for either team to have their current strength.

This is clear not only to European football, but also to Asian football.

Although Jiang Tiansheng's team has not yet won the Dutch Eredivisie title, its strength as a top team is undeniable.

Of course, this is also largely due to the personality of head coach Bielsa.

This guy is a bit obsessive. He has his own understanding of team tactics and doesn't allow outsiders to interfere.

Fortunately, he was coaching a youth team, so at least the players were obedient.

If it were a team with many veteran players, given his style and personality, he would probably have already caused a huge conflict with the players.

Of course, it is also related to the fact that Ajax and PSV Eindhoven have been too dominant in recent years.

Ajax also had a youth team, which included Kluivert, who later became a top European striker.

There are also football legends like Davids and Van der Sar!
PSV Eindhoven, on the other hand, boasts a formidable player like Dennis Bergkamp, ​​the "Ice Prince."

Judging solely by ability, this is a Dutch superstar of all time!
During the 1998 World Cup, the Dutch team he led fought a close battle against the Brazilian team led by Ronaldo, which demonstrated his strength.

Fulham, needless to say!
When Wu Feng took over, the team was still in the second tier of English football, League Two; now it's a true Premier League champion.

Fulham were riding high after winning the English first division title for two consecutive years.

In fact, with proper tactics, good personnel allocation, and a bit of luck, there is still a great chance of winning three consecutive English top-flight league titles.

Unfortunately, the team owner is from Hong Kong!
The FA and English football will absolutely not allow such a thing to happen, otherwise Fulham will definitely become another powerhouse team in the Premier League.

The rise of a powerhouse team is not a good thing for other teams in the same league.

Resources, advertising, and a whole host of other things will undergo significant changes, which is not something those traditional powerhouses want to see.

Wu Feng knew what was going on and had already spoken with head coach Ranieri by phone.

This season, the team's goal is to secure a place in the Champions League through the league, and their main focus is on winning the Champions League!

With two strong European teams on its roster, ATV can become a top-tier sports media outlet in Asia by broadcasting their matches.

Not to mention, many wealthy individuals in Hong Kong and Macau have purchased football clubs in Europe. Although the fanfare isn't huge, the occasional media coverage does showcase the strength of Hong Kong football, doesn't it?
Besides the main event, another major feature of the sports channel is the live broadcast of the "Unrestricted Fighting Tournament".

This competition is a powerful tool for attracting traffic!
It had already piqued the curiosity of Southeast Asian viewers, and they were even more pleased to be able to watch it live now.

In addition, many sports and entertainment events on Tung Choi Street were also included in ATV's live broadcast list.

Wu Feng's goal was simple: to gradually transform Hong Kong Island into a sports and leisure metropolis through ATV Sports Channel.

Since he has the resources and the ability to do such a thing, he naturally won't be stingy with the investment of resources.

If this goal can be achieved, it will be of great benefit to Hong Kong Island, ATV, and various sports projects themselves.
