"What? Who acquired it?" Chow Yun-fat was shocked. Since it was said to be acquired by an outsider, it was naturally not Shao Yifu and others. He just stayed at home and slept for a few days. Why did the world change after he came out?
"Hutchison Whampoa, it is said that Chen Zhiwen personally gave the order, and Shao Yifu has resigned from TVB." Wu Mengda said.
"Doesn't that mean that I have no chance to shoot at Shaw Brothers Cinema?" Chow Yun-fat was shocked. He didn't care who bought TVB, but if he lost his job, how could he support his family?
Ng Meng-tat shook his head and said, "Don't worry about this. An announcement has just been made. Everything is business as usual. The cooperation with Shaw Brothers Cinemas will continue. The big shots should have already discussed it, and the money will probably be paid now."
"Yes, I think Chen Zhiwen is only a few years older than us, and his achievements are so high." Chow Yun-fat said with envy.
"Stop comparing, the more you compare, the more you feel like a waste." Ng Man Tat said with a smile: "There is also good news. Now Shuliang Zhou has become TVB's news reporter. Under her suggestion, Hutchison agreed to report to the entire TVB Our employees and contracted actors are covered by family insurance.”
"Insurance coverage?" Chow Yun-fat was a little confused.
"In the future, your parents, wife, and children won't have to worry about illness or accidents. The company will buy commercial insurance for them all." Wu Mengda said in a teacher's tone.
"So good?" Chow Yun-tao was stunned for a moment. As an ordinary citizen in Hong Kong, everyone's life is very tiring. He has worked with his mother since he was a child. He became sensible very early. But also because he became sensible very early, what he was most afraid of when he was a child was his family. When the only pillar of support falls, a normal family can fall into trouble or even despair if one person falls ill.
"Ah, the benefits are very good, but the insurance is more complicated and can only cover most of it. I don't know the details, but others say it is very good." Wu Mengda scratched his hair and said.
"Most of it is pretty good." Zhou Yunfa said with a smile, "What's one more thing?"
"It is directly related to us. The company is planning to launch an award every year in the future, called Best Actor and Best Actress. The winners can directly receive a house, a thousand-foot mansion!" Wu Mengda said full of fantasy.
"A thousand-square-foot mansion?" Chow Yun-fat's eyes are almost green. With his salary, he doesn't know that he can only afford a house in the Year of the Monkey. When he came to be an actor, he just imagined that one day he would become popular and make a lot of money to buy a house.
"But they didn't say where to buy it, right?" While both of them were fantasizing, a familiar voice came from behind them. Looking back, they saw that it was also their old classmate Simon Yam, who was in the same session of the wireless training class.
"I didn't say it, but a company as big as Hutchison Whampoa shouldn't be stingy, right?" Chow Yun-fat asked.
"It's hard to say. Hutchison Whampoa is not stingy, but the people in the company are not necessarily stingy." Simon Yam said with a smile.
"What you said makes sense, but no matter how remote the place is, a 1,000-square-foot house is still very good." Chow Yun-fat said still very satisfied. He knew that this man named Ren had a pretty good family situation, which was far beyond what people like them could compare with. .
People come to the wireless training class to dream, they come to live.
"Hehe, in fact, apart from these benefits, there is another benefit that Hutchison Whampoa brings that you don't know about. This one was not written in the internal bulletin because it is not an internal benefit." Simon Yam said mysteriously.
Wu Mengda asked curiously: "What? Say it quickly, don't make people's appetites exciting."
Simon Yam smiled and said, "I learned from a friend that this year's Miss Hong Kong competition will also have house rewards. There will be prizes for the champion, runner-up, and third runner-up. It seems to be a mansion of about a thousand feet."
"Tch, what does this have to do with us." Wu Mengda suddenly lost interest.
Simon Yam smiled and said: "Are you stupid? It's impossible for our TVB's most popular actors not to care about a house, let alone all living beings in Hong Kong. Once this prize is given out, do you think how many beautiful girls will come to apply for Miss Hong Kong in the future? Not to mention anything else, it’s good for us to be happy, and maybe there will be opportunities for cooperation in the future?" Simon Yam said with his chest raised.
"That's true." Wu Mengda nodded and said.
"Okay, you guys chat slowly, I'm going to find the director." Chow Yun-fat left without looking back.
"Why is he in such a hurry?" Simon Yam asked in confusion.
"How do I know?" Wu Mengda waved his hand and said.
"Does the Miss Hong Kong champion own a thousand-square-foot mansion?" Thanks to the spread of the media, countless Hong Kong people know about the existence of this award, and it also makes countless women of the right age and suitable conditions get interested.
Everyone in the world is interested in profit. In Hong Kong, a house is the biggest profit. How many people make money all their lives just to buy a house. How many people owe a lifetime of debt to banks just to buy a house. This is true for men and women.
In the previous Miss Hong Kong election, apart from direct fame and a one-year contract with TVB, there were no other benefits. For most women who are somewhat career-minded, who would waste this time? The so-called overnight success is something ordinary people can take a chance on, but for those with some talent, who doesn't know that this is just a gimmick? Even if there is such a person, there may not be one in ten years.
But now that we have a house that we can actually see and touch, how many people can resist being moved by it?
However, the Miss Hong Kong audition will have to wait until June. Is it still half a year from now? Enough to get a lot of people ready to prepare.
January 28th. Hutchison Building, Hong Kong:
"Sheng Chen, this is the development plan for TVB this year that I compiled. Please take a look at it." Zhou Liangshuyi handed over a stack of documents. It has been more than a week since TVB was acquired, and she has also initially thought about how to develop it. TV station plans.
"Filming (The Legend of the Condor Heroes), "The Legend of the Condor Heroes", "The Legend of the Condor Heroes", "The Legend of the Condor Heroes", why there is no "The Legend of the Condor Heroes"?" Chen Zhiwen asked casually after watching many versions of these Jin Yong dramas.
Shuyi Zhou said with some embarrassment: "Because of the Little Dragon Girl incident? When it was serialized before, someone went to Ming Pao to throw paint. It would be better for us not to film this kind of plot, and many actresses may not be willing to film this role."
"Oh, okay." Chen Zhiwen nodded and said. Hong Kong people in the 1970s were relatively conservative. After 1985, they may be a little better.
After watching for a while, Chen Zhiwen closed the files and said: "It's okay if you want to film these TV series. I support you. I just need to see the results in the end. But for these costume dramas, you can only use Shaw Brothers Can we use the film company’s resources to film it?”
"Yes, but we will also pay." Zhou Liangshuyi said.
"You pay what you pay, but you can't rely on others for the life of this kind of company. Let's do this. After the Chinese New Year, you apply to the Hong Kong government to purchase a piece of land to build a movie theater in the name of the TV station. Shaw Brothers and Golden Harvest have their own We also need a movie theater," Chen Zhiwen continued.
"Wireless doesn't have that much money, Mr. Chen?" Zhou Liang Shuyi said with some embarrassment. The investment in a movie theater is definitely not small. Otherwise, when Wireless started, there would be no need for Li Xiaohe to drag Shao Yifu into a stake. In order to obtain his shooting resources.
"Money is not a problem. I will inject capital into TVB separately." Chen Zhiwen nodded and said, not only can he obtain a large movie theater with a large land area, but he can also further obtain shares in TVB, killing two birds with one stone.
