Chapter 37 ATV

Teahouse.
"Azu, I didn't expect you to be so good at dubbing!" Chen Guo happily poured a cup of tea for Wu Nianzu.
"Brother Guo, where are you now? When you have the opportunity to film a historical drama in mainland China, I will tell you to see my true strength!" Wu Nianzu said with his chin raised.
"Brother Guo, have you discussed the future of the movie with Andy?"
"I've decided, let's go to the Berlin Film Festival and take a gamble!"
Wu Nianzu smiled: "Don't worry, there will definitely be a result that satisfies you!"
"I hope so!"
Chen Guo changed the topic and said with a serious face:
"Azu, I have something to tell you. Best Partner Company is preparing for the fifth Young and Dangerous movie "Enter the Dragon".
The big man who is released from prison is an important role in it. Wenjun originally wanted you to play the role, and he already told me, but it turned out that the decision was rejected within two days. Wenjun reminded me privately that you had provoked someone and was being disturbed.
Got it!"
Wu Nianzu frowned. He didn't care about this role. In fact, he was focusing on F4 now and would not go even if he was invited.
But being tricked behind his back made him unhappy.
"Brother Guo, do you know who it is?"
Chen Guo shook her head: "The entertainment industry is not that simple, you should pay more attention to yourself!"
Wu Nianzu thought in his heart, and when he thought about it carefully, there were only a few people who had issues with him and had the ability to influence the crew.
Ye Chongren, general manager of Feitu Records, is the boss of the company himself and can definitely speak in the industry.
Edison Chen and his father Chen Zemin have many friends in the entertainment industry.
Yang Shoucheng, who had a good reputation in "Young and Dangerous", stepped on the leading actor Xie Tingfeng, and later poached his subordinate Huo Wenxi. But Boss Yang can't be so stingy, right?
Qian, I’ve only been in the industry for two or three months, how come I’m being targeted by so many people without even realizing it?
But you play your game, and I play my game. When "Meteor Garden" is aired in a few months, I will push it and let you know what a mantis is like!
Li Guoli is dressed in an old Tang suit, and his dress is not exquisite. Although his half-grey and half-white hair is long but not messy, it is neat and neat. With a pair of black-rimmed glasses, he looks quite elegant.
Regardless of the emotional entanglement between him and Cai Yinong, his abilities are still very strong.
He was the one who pulled up the production team of Sugar Man Film and Television in his previous life. He is probably best known to mainland audiences for the Fairy Sword series he filmed!
He currently serves as the film and television production director of Zulong Entertainment.
"Hello Director Li, our Zulong Company has finally welcomed you!" Wu Nianzu greeted warmly.
Li Guoli returned the favor politely. He had already learned from Cai Yinong that although the general manager was Wu Jiahui, the real person in charge of the company was Wu Nianzu, but only a few senior executives knew about it for the time being.
"Mr. Wu..."
"It doesn't matter. Director Li, just call me Azu. After all, I'm just a member of F4 now." Wu Nianzu doesn't care about these false names. He will make them public when the right opportunity comes.
"Then I'm trusting you! Azu, I've read all the scripts you wrote. It's not difficult at all. The crew can set it up quickly, but there is one problem that needs to be solved first, the broadcast channel." Li Guoli is also pragmatic.
People talk about work without saying a few polite words.
"Director Li, you are an old man from Hong Kong TVB. With your connections, can't "Meteor Garden" be piloted on TVB?"
Li Guoli smiled bitterly: "Azu, if I were on the job, it would be easy to talk to him, but I have resigned now, and the current director of TVB and I had issues in the past. If he knew it was a drama that I was afraid of, he would have stuck him for a year and a half.
Everything is normal!”
Wu Nianzu frowned, he didn't expect to encounter such a thing, he was simplistic!
Many TV drama productions in this era were basically initiated by television stations, because they were the only ones with broadcast channels, especially on Hong Kong Island.
If you haven’t agreed on a broadcast channel from the beginning, then simply don’t start the project, because it’s very likely that it won’t be broadcast if it’s filmed.
There are only two free TV stations in Hong Kong Island, TVB Hong Kong TVB and ATV Asia Television.
If wireless doesn't work, then you can only try ATV.
Lai TV, the predecessor of ATV, was the first TV station on Hong Kong Island. When it opened, it was a pay TV station. Viewers had to pay a monthly fee of HK$25. Therefore, its mainstream audience was the middle-class elite of Hong Kong Island.
By 1979, ATV was forced to convert to a free-to-air TV station due to the strong ratings appeal of wireless TV, but the quality-focused production style of TV programs was inherited.
Its major shareholder has changed hands several times, and the current person in charge is Lin Jianyue, the second son of billionaire Lin Baixin.
At the ATV Purchasing Department, Cai Yinong brought four members of F4 and Zhang Baizhi to visit.
Lin Xiangfu, the manager of the purchasing department, was a middle-aged man with a slicked back hair. He roughly turned over the script in his hand and listened to Cai Yinong's story without commenting.
It was such a simple and ridiculous plot, with no dramatic conflict at all. In his opinion, it was just a group of kids playing house in school!
But when he looked at the young men Cai Yinong brought over, they were indeed handsome men and women!
Lin Xiangfu interrupted Cai Yinong: "Mr. Cai, how about this, you arrange a banquet tonight, and I invite a few powerful people in Taiwan to visit. This is much more useful than just talking to me alone!"
Cai Yinong's face immediately beamed with joy: "Thank you so much, Manager Li, we will make careful arrangements for the evening!"
Lin Xiangfu smiled: "You must bring your male and female protagonists, they are the highlights of this drama!"
"Definitely!"
After Cai Yinong left, Lin Xiangfu immediately made a phone call. After answering the call, he smiled flatteringly: "Cousin, are you free tonight? I've discovered a top-notch beauty!"
"How beautiful is she?"
"She is more beautiful than a Hong Kong sister! She is also full of energy, pure and lovely, she will definitely be the next Zhou Huimin!"
"Really or not, if you say that, I will be delighted!"
"Cousin, if you can come here in person, they really want it!"
At seven o'clock in the evening, in a private room of a five-star hotel, Yan Kuan frowned. Huo Jianhua asked Wu Nianzu: "Brother Zu, does the company want us to accompany you for drinks?"
"Yes. Our debut TV series has been blocked. Now we can only come out to make people smile. You will do what you can later. If you have wine, I will drink it!" Wu Nianzu comforted several others.
Although I don't really like this kind of public relations thing, everyone knows that this kind of thing is inevitable in the entertainment industry.
"Brother Zu, what should I do later?" Zhang Baizhi tugged on Wu Nianzu's arm.
"Azhi, just stay with me and Sister Xi. Sister Xi will take care of you."
Wu Nianzu didn't want to bring her here at first, but Cai Yinong and Huo Wenxi were right. They would meet her no matter whether they went out for commercial performances or promotions in the future, and they would gain experience by bringing her here.
After a while, a group of about five or six people walked in, chatting and laughing.
The leader was a fat man with a shiny face and a big belly. When he said something, the people surrounding him immediately laughed with him.
Everyone sitting at Zulong Entertainment quickly stood up, and Cai Yinong and Huo Wenxi both came to greet them.
Lin Xiangfu smiled and introduced: "Mr. Cai, you are so lucky! We, Director Lin, are here tonight to personally direct your TV series!"
Wu Nianzu took a look and saw that the fat man with shining eyes in the middle was Lin Jianyue, the current leader of ATV!
