Although these key members who support ATV have achieved fame and fortune, none of them has sought another job. Instead, they have worked harder to promote the development of ATV.
Chen Shisan and Xian Zhiwei were originally people who valued friendship and would not have any thoughts of betrayal. However, Liang Jiashu and Chai Zhiping, who valued profit over justice, did not, because in addition to being grateful to Zhou Hao for giving them the opportunity to develop, they also knew Zhou Hao to some extent.
The power in his hands. When Liang Jiashu was at TVB, he had seen many TVB artists shoot movies or advertisements for those gangsters. Not to mention the remuneration, most of the movies they made were low-cost bad movies, even
It's a third-level film.
The reason for this is that on the one hand, TVB itself has the intention of selling off its artists at low prices and squeezing out their commercial value. On the other hand, for those actors who TVB focuses on cultivating but is unwilling to "sell out", the gangs will also use intimidation and threats.
and other means to achieve their goals.
After coming to ATV, under the management of Zhou Hao and Su Lin, ATV would naturally not do anything like betraying its employees. And Liang Jiashu has worked here for so long, but he has not seen any gangsters come to ask for artists.
It can be seen that ATV, with Zhou Hao now in charge, has a higher prestige in the underworld than TVB. Liang Jiashu also heard that the leaders of the three most powerful gangs in Hong Kong - Sun Ngee On, East Star and 14K are all related to Zhou Hao.
friendship.
People like them, who have been in the industry for decades, know how powerful the underworld is. In the past, employees who betrayed the company's interests were directly taken to court by ATV. After going to prison, they suffered bullying from the cell bosses inside.
It was done by gangsters.
In addition, Liang Jiashu, Chai Zhiping and others are all discerning veterans. They can see that although the current ATV cannot completely defeat TVB, its development potential is much greater than that of TVB, especially Zhou Hao in mainland China.
There is also the popular Galaxy TV. These two TV stations are both subsidiaries of "Polaris", so ATV has the inherent advantage of going north to explore the mainland market, which Wireless TV cannot match.
Therefore, they are even more determined to stay here at ATV. When ATV becomes more powerful in the future, they will be regarded as the founding heroes of the country.
Zhou Hao did not sit in Su Lin's CEO position, but sat leisurely on the sofa, with Chen Shisan next to him. He took a piece of information handed over by Su Lin and opened it, then smiled and said
: "Now our most popular TV series on ATV is "Meteor"
"Garden", the highest ratings even exceeded the 40-point mark, almost breaking the previous record of "Huan Zhuge Ge". Galaxy Satellite TV also caused a craze after it was broadcast in China. Haha, very good, I am very happy with this result.
Satisfied, Sister Zhiping, you have contributed a lot to this."
Chai Zhiping was very happy to hear the praise from Zhou Hao, a boy who was more than ten years younger than him. However, Zhou Hao changed the subject: "The four of them from F4 are now stealing the show in Hong Kong, Macao, Taiwan and China. Their exposure
The efficiency is not even comparable to that of the emperors and queens. This is a good thing, it means that the company is very successful in their packaging. But..."
Zhou Hao's words "but" made Chai Zhiping's heart suddenly jump. Although Zhou Hao was more than ten years younger than her, Chai Zhiping did not dare to be presumptuous in front of Zhou Hao.
Zhou Hao did not raise his head to look at her, and kept flipping through the information in his hand: "However, F4 seems to be a little bit spoiled recently. Although our company has always adopted a loose management method for its artists, we do not stop the artists.
Live their own private lives. However, as employees of the company, they must also consider the impact their actions will have on the company's image."
Although Zhou Hao spoke in an understatement, Chai Zhiping sat upright and lowered her head, looking a bit silent. She understood that Zhou Hao was talking about the 'paparazzi' who followed F4 when they went to a nightclub in Hong Kong.
There was a conflict, and Yan Chengxu even hit one of the reporters, which caused a lot of news. TVB also seized the braid and took the opportunity to attack ATV.
In the end, it was Su Lin who came forward and quickly dealt with the magazine that owned the paparazzi. He also decisively asked F4 to hold a press conference to make a public apology. He even cleverly pointed the finger at the paparazzi, whom all artists in Hong Kong hated, and made F4
The negative impact caused was minimized and the positive image of F4 was finally maintained.
"It's normal to go to nightclubs for fun, and the company will never prohibit them from going there." Zhou Hao said: "As long as they don't do anything excessive in the nightclub, it doesn't matter if they are photographed by reporters, just treat it as free for others.
Promote the company. If you really care about those
If the paparazzi are dissatisfied and cannot do it themselves, they can inform the company and the company will naturally solve it for them. You must know that after becoming a star, any small personal matter will be magnified infinitely. Sister Zhiping, you have been in the industry for more than ten years.
Yes, you should understand this truth, right?"
"Yes, I'm sorry, Mr. Zhou. It was my lax management that caused the company to suffer losses." Chai Zhiping lowered his head. Although what happened that time was not entirely F4's fault, Chai Zhiping did not dare to refute Zhou Hao at all and only treated him respectfully.
Agree respectfully.
"That's all, eating a sting will make you wiser. This incident has also sounded the alarm for us." Zhou Hao looked at everyone: "In the future, you should pay more attention to the words and deeds of the artists below, so as not to embarrass the company again."
Everyone quickly nodded in agreement. In fact, although the freedom of artists under "Polaris" is much higher than that of other companies, since what happened at F4, they have become much stricter about the management of their artists. When the artists go out,
, they are often accompanied by people from the company. If there is an emergency, people from the company will step in to solve it and try not to involve the artist.
Zhou Hao smiled and said: "Okay, okay, Sister Zhiping, don't blame yourself so much. It's not all your fault. Just be more careful in the future. The company has to rely on talented people like you to support it."
When Chai Zhiping heard this, he often breathed a sigh of relief, and a smile appeared on his face. He was very grateful for Zhou Hao's tolerance and respect. On the other hand, Liang Jiashu saw that Zhou Hao's few words could make Chai Zhiping's mood rise and fall.
The balance between relaxation and relaxation was just right, so I secretly admired it, thinking that it was no wonder that even an old fox like Run Run Shao was defeated by Zhou Hao.
"Mr. Zhou, "Meteor Garden" has achieved such good results and is about to reach its finale, so I propose to start filming the second part." After Chai Zhiping recovered from his emotions, he made his own suggestion to Zhou Hao.
Zhou Hao shook his head: "There is no need to shoot the second part. With F4's current popularity, the second part can indeed achieve good results, but its plot and connotation are much different. I'm afraid it will be criticized by others in the future."
It's not good for the company's reputation to be rated as a sequel to the original work." Seeing Chai Zhiping's sad expression, Zhou Hao smiled again and said: "But don't be discouraged, the company has two new dramas that you need to be responsible for."
Then Su Lin handed two scripts to Chai Zhiping. Chai Zhiping looked at the cover and said, "Full House? The Prince Turns into a Frog?"
"That's right, these two TV series, like "Meteor Garden", will be filmed in the mainland. Polaris will cooperate with you. I hope you can complete it well. Especially "Full House"
", will be the company's highlight drama in 1999, and will also cooperate with Tongguang Catering Company in the Mainland. Sister Zhiping, you have to pay more.
"Snacks." In the previous life, "The Prince Turns into a Frog", a Taiwanese idol drama, broke the ratings record of the first part of "Meteor Garden" and was a milestone production of idol dramas. And "Full House" was even on the air
It became the most popular idol drama in Korea and even Asia at that time, and RAIN, which became popular, also went global in one fell swoop.
After briefly reading the general content of the script, Chai Zhiping concluded that these two dramas would definitely be very popular, and he was deeply grateful to Zhou Hao for letting him take charge of these two outstanding TV dramas.
Zhou Hao looked at Hou Weilun again: "Weilun, the "Story of Searching for a Foreign Country" that you are responsible for is very popular and has won a good reputation for the company. I hope you can keep it up and achieve better results."
Hou Weilun, who traveled almost all over the world to film "The Story of Searching for a Foreign Country", is much darker than before. When he heard Zhou Hao's praise, he felt that all his efforts were worth it.
At this high-level meeting, Zhou Hao briefly summarized the achievements and shortcomings of the past year, and set the next tasks for everyone.
Finally, he laughed and said: "In the past, ATV was always stepped on by TVB. People outside said that ATV was the only TV station in Hong Kong that could compete with TVB. In fact, this sentence has a lot of water. The reason why ATV is said to be able to compete with TVB is,
That's just because so far in Hong Kong we are the only ones with ATV and
TVB has a free TV broadcasting license, and other TV stations cannot intervene at all, so ATV can survive. Especially since the Hong Kong people have watched TVB for more than 20 years, they have formed a viewing inertia, resulting in ATV even if it occasionally has good works
, and it is still no match for Wireless.”
After a pause, he continued: "And now, with the joint efforts of everyone, our ATV can finally break this damn ratings inertia. Now we have truly become a TV station that can fight a tough battle with Wireless
.Furthermore, I believe that in the future, the government will increase the issuance of free TV licenses, so we at ATV cannot regard wireless as the only competitor, but must look to the future and be prepared to meet other competitors."
After the meeting, before leaving, Liang Jiashu smiled at Zhou Hao and said, "Boss, the 'Thousands of Stars Offer Love' charity gala run by Run Run Shaw has also sent us an invitation. I hope our Miss Su can attend."
