Zhou Hao thought that this was indeed the case. Shao Daheng invited him here today. If there was no purpose, Zhou Hao would not believe it at all, so he said: "Uncle Six, if you have any ideas, just say it. We are all businessmen, as long as it is mutually beneficial."
There is no reason for me to refuse.”
He said it very skillfully. If what Run Run Shaw said was harmful to ATV's interests, he could refuse it. Zhou Hao was not a stupid boy. He was deceived by Run Run Run Shao in just a few words. He didn't even believe that Run Run Run Shao could make a loss.
He must have made some big move in the business.
"Well, I like what you said. In the end, we are all businessmen. No matter what grudges we had before, those are unimportant. Now let's talk about the next thing." Run Run Shaw nodded, and then continued.
Said: "I have just said so much, and you can probably tell that the cooperation between CCTV and Wireless is actually not what I want to see. I would rather want Wireless to be independent. It's not that I want to be arbitrary, but I really don't want to.
Just let the CCTV people intervene."
Zhou Hao did not comment on this. Run Run Shaw's arrogance is well-known in the entire television industry. The reason why Zhou Hao and Run Run Shaw had a falling out before was partly because of his arbitrary actions. Now he actually said that it was because he did not want to be criticized.
It is really unacceptable for outsiders to intervene and do this.
I don’t know if he didn’t see that Zhou Hao didn’t believe this, or if he pretended not to know, Run Run Shaw continued: “The faction that supports CCTV’s intervention in TVB this time should be the Dong faction. As far as I know, they and you Zhao faction
They have never been harmonious. They did this probably to deal with ATV." Run Run Shaw has really put a lot of effort into this and knows what faction Zhou Hao belongs to, but are the people from the Dong faction so eager to deal with him?
"I think we have reached this point, and you should understand what I mean. Although CCTV's help can temporarily get TVB out of trouble, without CCTV, TVB's ratings will be sluggish. Even if I don't want to admit it, I have to
Needless to say, today's ATV is really unsettling, and it has risen too fast." When Run Run Shaw talked about ATV, he was also filled with sighs. His former defeated generals were actually managed to be so threatening by Zhou Hao.
And the most important thing he didn't say was that although they complied with the central government's request, the most the central government could do was to moderately suppress Zhou Hao after cooperating with Wireless.
Suppression, but for any losses caused by ATV, the person blamed by the central government is definitely not the Dong family, but itself.
"I understand what you mean. You are actually not satisfied with CCTV's involvement in wireless. What you want is to have the power, not to be restricted by others. Even if they say they will not participate in the decision-making, they cannot completely ignore it, and they are all CCTV
People, even if you don't want to, it will have an impact, right?" Zhou Hao pondered for a moment and concluded.
"I know what you will understand. Wireless was founded by our Shao family. Now it is the first time that outsiders have intervened. Even though it is very helpful to the development of Wireless, a TV station is controlled by the state and has definitely lost its independence.
, the development direction will be affected." Run Run Shaw smiled and nodded, talking to Zhou Hao would save trouble.
Zhou Hao nodded in agreement. As the owner of a private TV station, he is equivalent to the owner of a film company. Whether he is producing TV programs or filming TV series, he has his own independence and can do whatever he wants. Only in this way can he fully
Play to your strengths.
TVB has the best artist team in Hong Kong. Even though ATV is slightly better than TVB in terms of ratings, there is a huge gap between ATV and TVB in terms of accumulation and foundation. This is why TVB can counterattack quickly, and Zhou Hao and the others are very good at it.
One of the reasons for attaching great importance to it is the power of a star. It is estimated that few people understand it better than Zhou Hao.
"Although you said that, I still don't understand. Although such a thing is very clear, but what does it have to do with me? It seems that it is an internal problem of your TVB and has nothing to do with our Asia Television.
If it has something to do with it, if Wireless is destroyed by people from CCTV, we will lose a competitor." After Zhou Hao figured it out, he still smiled and said.
Also laughing at the same time was Run Run Shaw. He nodded at the table and said: "Young man, although I am old, my heart is not old. You don't have to say that, although it makes sense, but you should understand one more truth. If you cooperate, you can stand and fight.
Shang, our main purpose is not to be vindictive, but to make money and do a good job in Hong Kong TV. And I believe that no matter how much competition we have, I believe that with your character, you will definitely not just watch the excitement.
"
"Okay, Uncle Six, what you said makes sense. People say that the person who knows them best is often their opponent. I admire your old vision, whether you can really see my thoughts or you are just complimenting me.
, but one thing is indeed true. Even if I want to defeat Wireless, I also want to do it in an honest and fair manner. I definitely don’t want wireless to have internal problems because of other people’s messing around.” At this moment, Zhou Hao showed the domineering power of a future TV tycoon.
"And I do think so. China's film and television industry has begun to decline due to various reasons. Without Wireless, a powerful competitor, we at ATV will not be able to go far. No matter what type of programs we produce, we will not be able to compete with the national level
It's actually useless to have other TV stations as rivals. Normal competition between our two families without hurting the harmony is definitely conducive to the development of the TV industry." Zhou Hao continued.
Because he had talked with Shenyang before, he also had his own views on the film and television industry. Before, whether he acquired ATV or founded Polaris, his purpose was not to prosper the film and television industry. Now his status has moved away from that original concept.
, my horizons are much broader, otherwise I would not be sitting in front of Run Run Shaw like I am today.
"What you said is very good. Our purpose is not only to make money, but also to promote the development of the film and television industry. I would like to say that relying on the old and selling the old is not because TVB has monopolized the television industry in Hong Kong for the past few decades.
Suppressing other TV stations is really something other TV stations can't sustain. In fact, it wouldn't be a bad thing to have a TV station that can compete with TVB." Run Run Shaw agreed with a high-five.
Zhou Hao was not sure whether Run Run Shao's words were true to his heart, but they still sounded pleasant to his ears. To a certain extent, Run Run Shao had completely regarded Zhou Hao as a person of equal status, otherwise he would not have chatted like this. It can basically be said that he was sincere to his heart.
Well, for an opponent in the business field to be able to do this, Zhou Hao's own strength is the key, and Shao Daheng's magnanimity is also good.
He didn't know whether it was because of the excitement he had experienced in recent years or because Shao Daheng was squeezed out by CCTV. At least it made Zhou Hao more favorable than the previous family dinner. If it weren't for the two people's many conflicts before, they might not be like each other.
It's so tit-for-tat now.
"Uncle Six, after talking for a long time, you still haven't said what you plan to do. Even if our ultimate goal is to reach the same goal through different paths, it seems that there is no possibility of cooperation now. The Dong family at CCTV, as you just said,
They have always been in conflict with my godfather's faction." Zhou Hao thought for a moment and asked directly.
If he said this, he would definitely not say it in the mainland. However, the situation in Hong Kong is a bit different from that in the mainland. Even if he talks about the situation in the central government, he would not be so taboo. What's more, what Zhou Hao said is also true. As long as there is a little bit
People with common sense in politics will know that the two factions are at odds with each other from all aspects.
"Yes, because of their existence, we cannot have the opportunity to cooperate, but we can cooperate in some aspects, such as seconding actors for filming, and no longer fighting each other on more important occasions. These are all things we can do
You did it, didn't you?" Run Run Shaw first agreed with Zhou Hao's words, and then continued.
Zhou Hao nodded and agreed: "It's okay for Uncle Six to say that. What you mean is that on the surface, we are not so competitive. We usually work hard on TV programs to stimulate the staff of our respective companies."
, improve the quality of TV programs?”
Run Run Shao nodded happily and said truthfully: "This is actually the most important reason why I'm looking for you. I'm afraid that you, young man, won't be able to calm down and do something extreme because you feel unhappy. When the time comes, ATV and
The contradiction between wireless and wireless is irreconcilable."
Zhou Hao was actually surprised. For Run Run Shaw, for him to say these words was actually a disguised admission of defeat. He was afraid that ATV would do something drastic. Naturally, he was afraid that he would have too much impact on wireless.
His character will definitely not suffer the disadvantage of being dumb.
However, this is also a good thing. If Run Run Shaw is a little relenting, it means that Asia Television and TVB will be relieved and may enter the honeymoon period. In Zhou Hao's troubled life now, Zhou Hao feels that it would be best if Run Run Shaw can ease the conflict.
situation.
Before he came, he had never imagined that there were so many internal problems within TVB. At first, he thought that Run Run Shaw deliberately cooperated with CCTV in order to deal with himself. Now he realized that he himself was unwilling to do so. In this case, his own internal problems were very serious.
As long as ATV follows the procedures step by step, there is no need to worry. Moreover, when its own entertainment programs are launched, even if there are no internal problems within TVB, it will no longer be its opponent.
"Uncle Liu, what you said makes sense. We are indeed the two largest private TV stations in Hong Kong. If we really get into trouble, why are we talking about expanding our influence to the world? For the sake of our country's TV industry and for
Let the whole world better understand our Hong Kong TV and movies. I agree with what Uncle Liu said." Zhou Hao thought about it, stared at Run Run Shaw, and said very seriously.
