When Henry came to Hong Kong this time, countless eyes were watching his every move! It will also include Chinese Mainland...
The main purpose of Henry's visit to Hong Kong this time is to control Warwick company, and to arrange the situation in the turbulent period a few years before the return of Hong Kong. Henry reminds Guan Zhilin that there is a very important document in his bedroom, that is, he wants to take advantage of her to disclose the acquisition of TVB and Shaw film company, so as to distract people's attention and let Cisco control Warwick behind the scenes without attracting attention
Build a plank road in the open and build a warehouse in the dark!
In addition, Henry is very clear about Run Run Shaw. He is very persistent and regards TVB as his life. He can never sell TVB! If you want to buy TVB from him, it's hard! However, there is another TV station in Hong Kong, Asia TV. Henry's goal is actually this TV station
ATV is not expensive. Lin Baixin bought all the shares of ATV from Qiu Degen for only HK $200 million. In fact, ATV is the first free TV station in Hong Kong, many years earlier than TVB. At the beginning, ATV was called "voice of Li". As early as April 1957, voice of Li was approved by the Hong Kong government to set up cable TV and was granted a license. It became the first television station in Hong Kong and the Far East, opening a page in the history of Hong Kong television broadcasting!!!
Then it came to Qiu Degen, who renamed it Asia TV Co., Ltd.
TVB was founded on November 19, 1967. However, TVB came from behind and it was almost impossible for Li's TV company to resist. As a result, Li's TV company changed hands several times
It's not that I'm too incompetent, but that the enemy is too powerful
Li's TV is also tragic enough to meet such a legend as Run Run Shaw!
Shaw is good at shooting. In his early years, when he was about 19 years old, he followed his elder brother to Southeast Asia to explore the market. At that time, the conditions were very poor. Every day, we used a cart to drag the projection equipment and film copies, and each village showed the film in turn! In this way, the film of the Shaw Brothers became famous. At that time, their film company was called Tianyi film company. It was founded in Hengbang bridge, Hongkou, Shanghai. Later, it owned more than 100 cinemas in Southeast Asia and other places. Who knows, the World War II broke out suddenly, all the hard work turned into nothing!
After the end of World War II, Shao's other brothers were disheartened and basically gave up their film career. But Run Run Shaw didn't give up. He came to Hong Kong alone and founded Shaw film company. Since then, he has opened a new era of Hong Kong Film and influenced generations
Run Shaw has been to the United States and met Hollywood studios. So, after he returned to Hong Kong, he was ambitious and vowed to build the largest film city in Hong Kong and even Asia. Later, he set up Shaw Studios in Repulse Bay. The establishment of Shaw Studios has laid a solid foundation for the huge Shaw film empire. Countless excellent films are born from Shaw Studios!!!
Shaw also found that television has replaced movies and become a more influential video media in the United States! So he suddenly realized that television is more important than movies. Therefore, in 1967, Run Run Shaw, who had a deep strategic vision, set his eyes on TV station and founded TVB. After 1990, Shaw group even began to shrink the film industry and vigorously develop TVB
The biggest problem in the early days of TVB was that there were not enough actors.
At that time, there would be various institutions to train actors. It can be said that there were very few actors at that time. And TVB needs a lot of actors to shoot TV series.
What should I do?
Run Run Shaw set up a wireless training class
As a result, the people who came out of the wireless training class actually supported half of Hong Kong and even the entire Chinese performing arts circle
Wireless training class can be said to be "Huangpu Military Academy of Hong Kong stars", which has cultivated a large number of Chinese superstars such as Chow Yun fat, Chow sing Chi, Andy Lau, Tony Leung, etc!!!
How can human feelings be embarrassed by such blatant force? ATV can only hide in the toilet and cry
More than that, the election of "Miss Hong Kong" has been held for a long time, but it is not very influential. But in the hands of Run Run Shaw, it was as if it was plated with a layer of gold. With the help of Miss Hong Kong's gimmicks, Run Run Shaw vigorously develops its potential value. He not only gives Miss Hong Kong a certain gorgeous title, but also signs a contract with her, plays in TV, movies, records and so on, making it a big star! As a result, "Miss Hong Kong" fire, competing for countless applicants, immediately election activities, beauty clouds, the audience that called see cool, ratings super high!!!
Asiatv, as a toddler in Handan, has made a "Miss Asia", but it has made a mockery of it!
From "Miss Hong Kong", there are many top beauties like Li Jiaxin, while "Miss Asia" is full of ugly ones. NIMA is very happy to continue
The back wave of the Yangtze River pushes the front wave, and the front wave dies on the beach!
This is the true portrayal of Asian TV
If Henry acquired ATV, TVB would be the first powerful enemy he would face. In order to weaken TVB, we need to take some measures.
Beat grass will scare snake!!!
It is more authentic and persuasive for Guan Zhilin to disclose the contents of the document. People really think that Henry will buy TVB. In the face of 50% higher salary, TVB company will certainly make a mess of its own. It's something Henry is very happy to do to stop Run Run Shaw!!!
After Guan Zhilin was rejected by Henry, he felt resentment. The next day, the contents of the document leaked out!
Soon, newspapers, television and other media in Hong Kong reported on the incident.
"Henry Williams, the world's richest man, wants to spend a huge sum of money to buy TVB in Hong Kong!!"
At this moment, TVB TV station internal, people floating.
"My God, hundreds of billions of tycoons want to buy TVB, we need to change owners?!!"
"Big boss has money. If TVB is acquired, our treatment will certainly be improved!"
"Oh, of course. Haven't you heard that if Henry Williams doesn't succeed in the acquisition, he will use 50% higher salary to dig us in the past! "
"I'm rich. I want to be dug by him now..."
"Ha ha, me too..."
Run Run Shaw quickly held a press conference and issued a statement: "TVB company refuses to buy!"
As soon as the statement was released, not to mention how the outside world was hotly debated, TVB was already in a mess. Many people began to contact each other, and we all changed jobs together!!!
The unruly front page of the Sun newspaper wrote: "the most anticipated thing this year is TVB group job hopping!"
And in the peninsula hotel of Hong Kong, it's full of reporters at the moment... (please recommend and collect)!!! The author established a group of book friends: 424930141, welcome to join...)
