After staying in Hong Kong for about half a month, public opinion in the international community and the main energy of the United States began to focus on the Middle East.
The subsequent development of this terrorist attack has made the possibility of war around the world infinitely smaller. The subsequent reckoning and impact can basically be said to have nothing to do with Asia.
The originally tense nerves of various countries have relaxed. Although the stocks and economy in the United States are still fluctuating, they will not cause widespread panic. It's time for Yang Dongxu to go back.
But just as he was preparing his ticket to leave, Uncle Six called him home.
"Uncle Liu asked me to take over TVB. It's not that I don't want to. Everyone would be excited about such a big industry, but I really don't have the energy. Haina and I are just hand-off shopkeepers. How can there be a manager to run TVB?" Yang Dongxu said with a look on his face. He looked at Uncle Six in shock, and Aunt Six sitting next to him, who seemed to have known about the situation for a long time and was not shocked at all.
"Don't refuse to listen to me in a hurry. I know that as the boss of Haina, you look down on my little family fortune..."
"Uncle Six is joking. If this comes out, I will definitely get beaten up. This is not the way to pretend to be X. That is TVB, the leading TV station and film company in Hong Kong." Yang Dongxu interrupted Uncle Six.
"Don't just pick the nice things to say." Uncle Six said angrily, glaring at Yang Dongxu, and Yang Dongxu showed a sly smile.
"This decision was not made by me temporarily. In fact, I had this idea before. Originally, I thought that TVB would be merged into Haina, but Haina did not rise as quickly as before.
TVB was not bad at that time, but you would not be happy if the conditions were raised during the merger, and the shareholders would not agree if the conditions were lowered, so they gave up.
But the situation is different now. Haina now occupies half of the Asian entertainment industry, and even competes with international giants such as Universal and Sony.
But TVB’s influence is limited to Hong Kong, and has some influence on Southeast Asian countries. It was like this ten years ago and it is still like this today ten years later.
Moreover, in the past two years, apart from her big body, her influence has been declining day by day, and she has even been taken away a lot of luster by some TV dramas in Taiwan. If this continues, TVB will really be in trouble. "
"But even so, the resistance to your decision is not small. After all, whether I take over or merge TVB into Haina as you said, as the boss of Haina, I will definitely give priority to my own company. What do you think? The stocks in the hands of some shareholders will depreciate more and more, but they feel like they are golden eggs." Yang Dongxu said helplessly.
To be honest, when Uncle Six asked him to take over TBV, he was shocked at first and wanted to refuse. But aside from TVB’s current complicated shareholder relationship, he was too lazy to take over a troublesome thing. It would be an absolute lie to say that I am not moved.
Heiner is indeed leading the Asian market now, and has even gradually established a firm foothold in Hollywood, but after all, the start is still over, and due to some domestic film and television policies, some aspects are still constrained.
Otherwise, he would not have gone to South Korea to lay out the plans and develop what he wanted first. The only reason to choose South Korea is not to choose Taiwan or Hong Kong.
Naturally, it was because the Korean film and television industry was weak at the time, Taiwan’s policy reasons, and Hong Kong had too many powerful actors. Among so many strong players, TVB has been able to secure its position as the leader in TV series and variety shows. This is definitely the strongest among the strong.
With the existence of such a great person, even if its performance has been declining over the years, a skinny camel is still bigger than a horse. Not to mention TVB’s training courses, the copyrights for TV series and movies it holds, and its seemingly ancient, but absolutely smooth publicity channels in Asia.
These are all good things that money can't buy, and they are a huge complement to Hainer. If TVB is really won, Hainer's current dilemma of always being short of people in that department will be greatly improved. Whether it is directors, screenwriters, or artists, he can be free to use them.
"I know your concerns, but the rise of the mainland is the general trend. TVB's hope lies in the mainland, but you don't seem to have the idea of letting people go over to stir up trouble, right?" Uncle Six glanced at Yang Dongxu.
Yang Dongxu couldn't help but smile sarcastically: "Uncle Six is joking, Haina is indeed a better film and television company now, but if you say that Haina dominates the mainland market, people will say that I am overestimating my capabilities this time. Please pay a little attention As the film and television industry in the Mainland knows, there have been quite a few film and television companies established in the Mainland in the past few years, and not a few have achieved great results."
"Stop playing tricks in front of me. Do you dare to say that you won't stop some film and television companies when they threaten Hainer?"
"It is normal for peers to inevitably have some competition." Yang Dongxu smiled.
Uncle Liu glared at him angrily, causing the smile on his face to freeze for a moment, but then the smile became brighter and harmless.
It would definitely be impossible if we don’t block it!
After all, there are no fathers and sons on the battlefield, and there are times when conflicts of interest really arise. Yang Dongxu will not be stupid and say that he will grow up and fight against the light. All kinds of conspiracies and tricks will definitely be dealt with as long as they are not illegal.
He is not lonely as a master, and he wants to cultivate a strong opponent to give himself something to do while standing at the top of his lonely heart. Because he feels that people with such thoughts are very stupid, but he obviously does not think that he is stupid.
"If I had a successor as capable and shameless as you, I wouldn't let you take over TVB." Uncle Six sighed.
"Is this a compliment to me?"
"You should praise me." The smile on Yang Dongxu's face was a bit awkward.
"I'm old, and so is your sixth aunt. And my sons..." Uncle Six couldn't help but look a little lonely.
No one will feel good if they see no successor to the empire that they have worked so hard for. But some things have to be done, otherwise even if TVB can continue to survive, what will happen ten or twenty years later?
"I don't care how TVB will be reformed after taking over, but under the same conditions, I hope that artists from the mainland and Hong Kong can compete equally. Agree to this condition, and I will help you settle the situation with those shareholders." After a moment of despair, Uncle Liu slapped his palms on the back of the chair. After a moment, the original lonely look disappeared, as if he had returned to the era of competing with the heroes of Hong Kong ten years ago.
"I haven't said anything about taking over, Uncle Six!"
Yang Dongxu couldn't help but mutter something in his mind, and then subconsciously asked: "Is this all free?"
"Use money to acquire shares!" Uncle Liu, who was originally domineering and arrogant, almost didn't get offended by Yang Dongxu's shamelessness.
The sixth uncle next to him also glared at him angrily and reached behind his back to help him calm down.
"Actually, I feel that although Hong Kong's film and television industry is not as popular as it was back then, I don't want it to be as miserable as you said. If you work hard, it still has its own characteristics." Yang Dongxu looked at Uncle Six cautiously and said.
I am definitely so greedy that my mouth is watering. But when he thought about TVB's complicated shareholder structure and messy relationships, he couldn't help but get a headache. Even though Uncle Liu gave the guarantee, he didn't care about money. But it's really troublesome.
But while he felt a headache, he couldn't help but admire Uncle Liu's vision, which could see so far. You must know that the Hong Kong film and television industry seems to be declining from its peak.
But in fact, Hong Kong still has an absolute advantage compared to the mainland, especially in the Southeast Asian market. Only a few well-known stars have emerged in China?
But what about Hong Kong celebrities?
That's batch after batch.
Many current mainland artists are still proud to be in the Hong Kong entertainment industry, and it is a fact that their development in Hong Kong is more promising than in the mainland.
So no matter how you look at it, as the boss of the Hong Kong film and television industry, Uncle Six has no reason to condescend to let Yang Dongxu take over TVB.
But as someone who has experienced it, Yang Dongxu knows that this kind of glory is like the reflection of light before death. It won't even take ten years, just five years. This kind of glory will fade away.
Looking at the Hong Kong film and television industry more than ten years later, it is still the old faces that are active on the screen and well known. There is no longer the grand occasion of the 1970s and 1980s when a new generation replaced the old one.
On the other hand, in the Mainland, no matter who is in the film and television industry, recording industry, or variety show, although the innovation ability is not as good as it is, the market is so hot that even Hollywood will look at it with suspicion.
Under such circumstances, the development of Hong Kong's film and television industry is becoming more and more like that of Taiwan, although occasionally a few good works can pop up. However, its external output is extremely weak, and even if there are good works, it no longer has the dominant position, and its position has become extremely embarrassing.
"Stop trying to fight me here. I know you are lazy and afraid of trouble. But taking over TBV will definitely help Heiner rise to a higher level and truly dominate Asia. You can better start your layout in Hollywood." Faced with this. Uncle Six was obviously a little impatient with Yang Dongxu, who was always making detours with him.
This time Yang Dongxu didn't say any more witty words, but frowned and fell into deep thought.
Uncle Liu's words obviously hit home, and what he just said about Hong Kong's film and television industry is still booming can actually be a reason for his heartbeat.
After taking over TVB, Haina will not only receive comprehensive improvements in hardware and software, but will also provide a good training environment for all Haina artists.
In the eyes of people like Uncle Liu who have a long-term and outstanding vision, Hong Kong's film and television industry does have the feeling that the sunset is infinitely beautiful but it is almost dusk.
But the setting sun is also the sun. Where is the foundation and decades of accumulation of Hong Kong film’s sunset horror? Coupled with the loose film and television policy, it will definitely make a lot of money to throw some artists from Haina in to be quenched and refined.
Of course, even if Haina does not take over TVB, it still has channels to do this, and it is still doing so. For example, many of Haina's new songs will be brought to Hong Kong to hit the charts, and a certain proportion of Cantonese songs will even be created.
Not to mention movies and TV series, which are basically shot with Hong Kong and Taiwan stars paired with mainland stars.
But these channels are certainly open, but compared with taking over the entertainment empire of TVB, the former is just a water pipe, while the latter is a fire hydrant.
