Chapter 131

ps: The previous public version has become a VIP, which can be read for free and does not charge. The author also opened it directly without logging in, confirming that this is true.

...

"Axin, hurry up, we're going to set off!" Ning Anchang quickly packed the things on the table into his small bag, and shouted at his colleague Tong Xin who was anxiously running to the bathroom, inexperienced Mandarin.

"I know, I'll go over the truth immediately!" Tong Xin jogged and replied from a distance in unstandard Cantonese.

Ning An smiled and dialed the technical department with the inside phone on the desk, asking them to send a car, and said that they would go over and sign immediately, collect cameras, microphones and other equipment for going out for interviews.

She is the editor-in-chief of the news in Taiwan, and Tong Xin is her partner.

It is natural to learn Mandarin when working at ATV. In order to facilitate interviews, Tong Xin is also working hard to learn Cantonese. The two usually exchanged communication in each other's idiomatic language, and then corrected the other's pronunciation where the other party was not standard, learned from each other, and made progress together.

Looking around the office, no matter which department it is, everyone is devoted to their work.

The only exception is the TV drama department, where the things on each desk are neatly arranged, but there is no one.

I heard that in order to avoid possible insiders in the TV station, people from the entire department moved to Guangzhou for closed shooting. Other departments only knew that this was a landmark TV series called "The Legend of Qin", but the content of the story is unknown.

Only guessing from the name, this is a costume historical drama.

The senior executives of the Taiwan Department attach great importance to this drama. The original manuscript of the TV series was provided by the director himself, which shows that he is highly desirable for it.

Ning Anchang is very familiar with Xiaoya from the director's office. She secretly asked her in private and found out that the writer of the drama is probably the chairman himself!

According to Xiaoya, the chairman took several manuscripts as thick as bricks to find Mr. Lin that day. Later, when she brought the tea in, Mr. Lin took the manuscript and stared at the chairman, looking stunned. She looked at him and found that the cover of the manuscript had "The Legend of Qin". When Mr. Lin saw her coming in, he immediately put the manuscript away and asked her to go out.

Before leaving, I heard Mr. Lin say to the chairman: "Your creativity is simply amazing! I just listen to it, but I feel that my mind is not enough. This is definitely a wonderful idea. I am sure it will cause a huge sensation in Hong Kong..." She felt itchy and wanted to listen more, but Mr. Lin closed the door with his own hands, and his voice became lighter in the future, making her ears press on the door, and she couldn't hear what they were saying.

The next day, she was on duty. Mr. Lin, who was always on time, arrived at the TV station very late that day. His eyes were red and he had probably not slept all night, but he seemed very excited.

When she went in to deliver coffee, she saw President Lin calling the chairman, and his tone of his speech was trembling: "Chairman, this novel is so wonderful, it's so wonderful. I swear I've never read such a novel before. It's simply...it's simply unspeakable! I haven't stopped for a moment since I got this novel. I held it and read it when I went back to eat, and I was scolded by me. But I have to say that the novel is so novel, it's not worse than Mr. Jin Yong's martial arts novel. In terms of genre, it's still a bit more! But is the length of the novel too long? It's very difficult to adapt, and what we lack the most is time..., well, well, it's so good, have you adapted it?..., yes, yes, I'll come here right away!"

Mr. Lin did not care about blaming Xiaoya for being too late to eavesdrop, so he locked the novel into the safe, and ran out. After a while, he came in with a thick manuscript, reading while walking, and giggling in.

As soon as he returned to the office, he called the people from the TV series production department, and then the TV series was established that morning and paid 2 million yuan in production fees.

In the afternoon of the same day, the TV station urgently cast a role among artists, and several of the main characters were basically selected by the chairman.

After asking the director, theater staff, and artists whether they accepted the request for closed shooting. After obtaining approval, they were given a day to explain the situation to their homes. Afterwards, Chairman Lin personally led the team and took the entire crew to the mainland by car.

A week later, Mr. Lin returned to the TV station to take charge, with a smile on his face that could not be suppressed.

Xiaoya overheard the news that the mainland was very cooperative, not only allowed the crew to live in the best guesthouse and provide local food, but also accompanied the leaders. The props and costumes required for the shooting of the TV series have also been verified by experts, which meet the characteristics of the TV series era. It was also hand-woven by Shujin female craftsmen, which is gorgeous and generous, and is simply exquisite.

In order to cooperate with the filming of the TV series, historians also helped actors correct the court etiquette, behavior, and titles of speech. Carriages, horses, chariots, flags, bells, tripods, swords, guns, swords, halberds and other props are all authentic works from two thousand years ago and were borrowed from local museums.

The first war scene was filmed. The mainland even mobilized 3,000 local garrisons. The shooting was completed with the assistance of the Bayi Factory. It also borrowed the troops' helicopters to shoot on the surface. The war scenes shot were both grand and realistic, and the picture was very beautiful. Everyone who had watched the sample praised it.

I heard that after seeing the sample sent back, Mr. Lin was so happy that he was wandering around while walking, shouting, "It's worth it, it's so worth it! It's worth it to be able to produce such a real big scene, even if I get drunk with my leader every day!" It sounds like he was drunk every day during his days in mainland China, and he was drunk and unconscious every time.

Although the station tried hard to keep it secret, because there were many curious people, sometimes Mr. Lin would reveal some news inadvertently. Although there was no public discussion on the TV station, there were many people who spread the news privately. Everyone wanted to know what the true appearance of this so-called "epoch-making" TV series was, but they could only get a little bit of itchy, which made it even more itchy when they were covered.

As more people spread, the news inevitably leaked outside the TV station. Even the media knew that ATV was trying to use a big move, so it specially organized the crew to go to mainland China to film.

But even if the TV station leaked into a sieve, the paparazzi would not be able to go to the mainland to find out. It seemed that there was such a brave man who wanted to visit the set, but was refused entry by the border guards. The reporters could only search for some historical information based on some fragmented news leaked by the staff in the station, and then wrote articles in newspapers and speculated randomly.

For example, Ming Pao vowed to get reliable news from ATV. "The Legend of Qin" is a big-produced costume drama, and the protagonist of the drama is King Ying Zheng of Qin. The TV series begins with his father Yiren being detained in Zhao as a proton, introducing the birth of Ying Zheng, returning to China, and then gradually eliminating Lu Buwei, holding power, unifying **, unifying the words, measuring weights and measures, building the Great Wall, and finally dying on the road to patrol the country. It is a grand historical chapter with a long main line.

Because of the fame of Mr. Jin Yong, the founder of Ming Pao, and his background as he has always been close to the mainland, many media have taken it seriously and took advantage of this report to each other.

...

Just as the media in Hong Kong was circulating and commenting on the "Looking for Qin" from all angles, attracting more and more Hong Kong people's attention, another piece of news from ATV spread throughout Hong Kong through the page of Ming Pao.

This message is a photo.

The photo scene is in a small cafe, and the photo is very blurry. A man with long hair and beard on the corner of his mouth, leaning over to a middle-aged man with his waist hooked up and leaning over with a mysterious expression and saying something.

Once the photos were disclosed, familiar TV viewers and film and television practitioners immediately saw through the original appearance of the man with long hair. It turned out that long hair, beard, etc. were all disguised. This person was the famous host of a variety show on Jiashi TV.

Not long after, the identity of the person he talked to was also revealed, and he was an editor at ATV.

Obviously, this is a real photo of ATV's poaching behavior. This also proves that it was widely circulated that ATV did not have a host who could take on the heavy responsibility, so it was true that it was delayed from re-spreading.

On the sultry summer day, this news is even more like a ball of fire, which stirs up media, reporters, and ordinary citizens who like to stumble and rush to chase the follow-up news with enthusiasm.

All major newspapers and tabloids showed their magical powers, entangling ATV executives, the host, wireless and beautiful, asking if the news is true, and what their attitude is.

In this process, more and more news has been seen in the newspapers.

It turned out that ATV was not only trying to poach the host, but also contacted several former ATV hosts at the same time. However, these people were more determined, either hung up the phone or declined through acquaintances, and basically all of them refused ATV's poaching.

The in-depth report was released later. It turned out that these hosts were warned by the new owner, and they directly refused ATV for fear that the defendant would breach the contract.

One day, another exciting news was published: In order to prevent ATV from poaching, Lite signed a new work contract with them. The new contract is no longer the number of hours of program, but a fixed salary, and the number of hours of program is counted separately. At the same time, the contract term is also as long as five years, ranging from seven years, and the liquidated damages are as high as one million, which basically eliminates the possibility of ATV's successful poaching.

Once this news was announced, it immediately caused an uproar across Hong Kong.

It may not be a big deal for China ATV to be cut off and poached. Several TV stations are competing with each other, which is no longer new. It is possible that ATV can helplessly dispel the attempt, and onlookers will only like to hear and laugh at and sarcastically.

However, the incident of several hosts receiving fixed salaries in the report caused an uproar among all film and television practitioners and senior media hosts.

Why can these people get a fixed salary outside of the program hours, but they still have to endure it and have to work around to support themselves?

In terms of fame, these hosts are just a little famous. Compared with the hosts of the leading TVB, the leader of Hong Kong TV, they are much less famous. Compared with the pillars of Li's TVB, they are slightly more famous and have limited strength.

With the ability of the wireless director, the ever-increasing host of "Happy Tonight" of TVB, several hosts of typhoons are sharp and witty, and the scene is properly controlled. How can those who can compare with those who can see?

Even the hosts of "Happy Tonight" have made appointments with the program hours. Why can they receive a considerable salary every month regardless of their performance, keep a stable income from drought and flood, and be free and easy?

When it comes to their own interests, this distinction is even more intolerable, and everyone is angry.

One senior film and television practitioner after another stood up and expressed their dissatisfaction with the media. Some hosts and artists who had a difficult life even sniffled and cried in front of the media, crying about how miserable their situation was. They needed a fixed salary to maintain a basic life more than these hosts.

More and more people have stood up, and there are many famous seniors, who have expressed their graceful disagreement.

Under the impact of this news, not only the employment system of the two TV stations, but also the salary system was made public and allowed to be criticized repeatedly. Even the former Jiashi hosts were repeatedly compared with other hosts, and the situation was in an awkward situation.

Just as all the film and television practitioners were bombarded, Ming Pao published another long tracking report, starting from the July offensive of Jiasi, it discussed in detail the Lin family's capital injection and its operating funds were exhausted, and its ultimate bankruptcy. Then the TV equipment was sold at a low price to pay off its debts and was finally taken over by Guan Fei.

The detailed report includes the original document photocopy of the parties' personal statements and the list of valuations of the assets sold, which is very credible.

The ability to interview such a detailed report is obviously supported by senior ATV executives and employees, at least to cooperate, so that all the information can be obtained.

Especially the asset inventory valuation, after the asset name, the market price was published in parallel and the valuation price was paid. Once compared, even an outsider knew that ATV was simply cheated, and was cheated by former shareholders, selling all the equipment necessary for the operation of the TV station at a low price.

After contacting the hosts, all of them were retained by the new owner's high salary. Everyone finally understood that the reason why these people can get this high salary comfortably is not how outstanding they are, but that Wireless and Li's joint efforts to suppress ATV!

The purpose is to make them unable to resume the broadcast!

For humans, every lonely person is a weak person, and only by gathering the masses can you have great power. Being grateful to yourself, from others to yourself, and sympathizing with the weak is an instinctive reaction of human beings.

After seeing the full picture of ATV host storm that various media have competed to reprint and extend the reports, most readers have felt sympathy for ATV.
