Chapter 13 Three Major TV Stations

After deciding on the goal of the first step, Yin Jun began to work regularly.

He got up at 7 in the morning, and after helping Aunt Zhang set up the stroller with Wei Xiaofan, he ate the steamed buns and porridge that Aunt Zhang insisted to make for them, and he started writing in Wei Xiaofan's hoarse voice. "Bao Qingtian" script work.

Then at 9:30 in the morning, Yin Jun left home and went to work at Xingji Tea Restaurant.

After dinner and get off work in the evening, Yin Jun went back to his rental house and started writing the script, and didn't rest until 12 o'clock.

On the first day of work, Wei Xiaofan brought Yin Jun there, and it was considered a greeting, don't let anyone bully him.

It was only then that Yin Jun realized that Wei Xiaofan, a guy who only worked half a day, was still the foreman. Usually, he greeted the guests who came over and ordered the order.

Even so, Wei Xiaofan's monthly salary is as much as 2,000 yuan, which is equivalent to the income of a small manager in Central, which really makes other employees jealous.

Yin Jun is different from a few small workers. On the one hand, they have to order, they have to bring tea and water, and they have to pick up the table. If there are too many dishes piled up, they will also be called in to help wash the dishes.

When doing things, Yin Jun is not lazy at all. Even if Wei Xiaofan greets him, he still does what he needs to do. He will do what others don't want. Except for eating, he has no idle time. when.

After doing this for two weeks, not only did the tea restaurant praise Yin Jun from top to bottom, but even the boss Xing Ge felt that this time Wei Xiaofan really did a good job and found a good employee for him.

Of course, if you like it, you like it, but Brother Xing will definitely not raise his salary.

Many small workers and waiters are short-term because of this, but Brother Xing doesn't care. Anyway, there are more people in Xiangjiang, and there are more than 4 million. Are you afraid that you can't find people who are willing to work?

A few small workers and waiters who hated him, when they were eating and chatting on weekdays, they talked about this old guy. He was very stingy towards the wage earners, but he was very generous with his little affections. Once They also bumped into Brother Xing accompanying a beautiful woman in her twenties to buy gold jewelry, they were so angry!

Yin Jun has never been gossipy, he just listens and laughs when something happens, he never talks much.

Because he is smart and willing to work, basically two weeks later, when he sees some regular customers coming in, Yin Jun can accurately tell their order preferences without opening their mouths, but the guests also compliment him.

Wei Xiaofan is not bragging. Because Xingji Tea Restaurant is close to Wutai Mountain, the taste is not bad, the price is reasonable, and the business hours are until 3 o'clock in the morning, so many TV and radio people like to come here to eat something and drink some milk tea Or coffee, take a break from the hustle and bustle.

Yin Jun from the two radio stations didn't care much, he cared about the people from TVB, Li's and Jiashi.

For ordinary people in later generations, many people do not know that Xiangjiang TV actually has two major overlords. They also think that there is only one wireless TV station in Hong Kong, which is TVB.

In fact, there is a TV station called Asia Television that has been competing with TVB until the 21st century, which is now Li's Yingsheng TV station.

Li's TV was founded even earlier than TVB. It was the first TV station in Hong Kong and the first pay-per-view TV station. Back then, to watch Li's programs, you had to install receivers and pay on time.

It is also for this reason that the free wireless TV station was founded. Within a few years, the TV station that played beautifully fell to the ground. In the end, the beautiful TV station had to announce that it was free, and the two TV stations continued to play non-stop.

In 1974, He Zuozhi, the boss of Heung Kong Commercial Radio, was moved when he saw that TVB and Li were so prosperous. He then joined Jardine Matheson, Sing Tao Daily and several other shareholders. After one or two years of preparation, Founded the third free TV station in Hong Kong - Jiayi TV.

In the beginning, Jiayi TV was a powerful one. As soon as it made a move, it poached all the deputy general managers, production directors, program directors, advertising directors, etc. of TVB.

This is the famous "Jiayi Six Gentlemen Incident" in the history of Heung Kong TV.

This is not to mention, Jiashi also digs wireless stars and ordinary actors, behind-the-scenes personnel.

Before the deputy general manager Liang Shuyi brought his subordinates over, there were only 200 people in Jiashi, but as soon as they passed, Jiashi immediately became 800 people, which can be said to be shocking!

But wireless is miserable, and almost no one is working for a while.

At that time, TVB scolded the ancestors of several shareholders of Jiayi TV, but they had no choice but to promote people from the inside, and then slowly cultivate people. It took a year or two to ease. gas.

That is to say, during this time, Li's slammed the wireless all the way, and the wireless was almost unable to lift his head.

Even Bestview was better than Wireless in the first two years.

But wireless is wireless. After chairman Li Xiaohe retired due to physical reasons, Shao Yifu, who completely dominated the power, is also a wily man. Through tapping potentials in the past two years, there is a wireless artist training class to provide them with newcomers, and The employees of Shaw Brothers Film and Television were also able to come to help, so they also relieved their anger, and in turn, they firmly suppressed Li's head and re-consolidated their position as the boss.

But on the other hand, because Jiashi failed to keep burning money consistently, Liang Shuyi did not do well in many aspects, so since last year, it has shown a decline.

Especially after the "Dream of Red Mansions", which was broadcast in October last year, suffered a fiasco in ratings, the huge loss of Jiashi has made it worse. Recently, there have been rumors that Jiashi is unsustainable.

Therefore, in Xingji Tea Restaurant, although the staff of the three TV stations often come to eat, the wireless one is the most arrogant, the Li one is also full of confidence, and the only one from Jiashi is downcast.

But Jiashi is not in despair, because they have now started a new round of battle plans. According to the context of their discussions on weekdays, Jiashi is preparing for the "July offensive", trying to turn the situation around and regain its vitality in one fell swoop.

Why the "July Offensive"?

Because August is Jiashi's next annual advertising investment conference.

The most important thing for a free-to-air TV station is its advertising revenue. If it is invested by shareholders alone, it will definitely last for a long time.

If there is no good advertising revenue at that time, then Jiashi will definitely be very difficult, and I am afraid that it will be finished by the end of the year.

After all, since planning in 1974 and poaching people in 1975, Jiashi has been spending a lot of money. After spending a few years, there is still no good return, and there is no sign of advertising revenue to compensate for the loss. It is difficult for these investment shareholders to be interested in investing.

It just so happens that what Xiangjiang people lack the most is patience, so even if they have paid so much effort before, they will cut off this investment without hesitation.

For the July offensive, the most important thing for Jiashi now is to find a good script to film. At present, there are several TV dramas that have been confirmed to be launched. In addition, it is planned that in May, they will go to Hong Kong to promote publicity, hoping to make more more people watch their shows, and thus get good ratings, attracting advertisers to spend a lot of money next year.

On the other hand, Jia Shi is also a little panicked here.

Yin Jun has already seen a lot of people from Wireless or Li, who are trying to find Jiashi's staff and actors.

Now that there is a contract, it is uncertain. If there is any problem with Jiashi, then these people will definitely be divided up by Wireless and Li.

Many of Jiashi's own people are also looking for a way back, and they always don't want to have no food in the future.

Although many people are not optimistic about Jiashi, only Yin Jun knows most clearly that Jiashi is really not over, and it went bankrupt at the end of August, and it didn't even make it to the end of the year.

But what will happen to Jiashi in the future? Yin Jun treats them equally. He needs a chance, but it is definitely not now.

It will take more time and more contact with these directors and producers, especially the producers, before I know who can help me succeed.

In Xiangjiang, from the past to the future, the biggest TV drama is not the director, but the producer... Even the movie is the same, many producers are bigger than the director, and many directors are called "executive directors" It is quite appropriate.

When "A Chinese Ghost Story" was filmed, although the director wrote it by Cheng Xiaodong, who didn't know that producer Xu Ke was the most important person? Every picture is full of old monster Xu's style!

Therefore, if Yin Jun wants to cast the script, it is most suitable to find a producer.

As long as the producer agrees to make the script, the TV station will consider buying the script.

Of course, the bigger the producer's cards, the better. For example, Wang Tianlin from Wireless, Xiao Sheng from Jiashi, and McDonald's from Lily. If they like Yin Jun's script, they will be greatly affected by 100%. Pay attention and make "Bao Qingtian" an instant hit.

But Yin Jun is not so greedy, he won't see himself so clearly.

With his status, it is almost impossible to pass the book to these few now.

These famous producers have their own script teams. Over the years, they have formed their tacit cooperation. It is impossible to rashly accept other people's scripts - this also refers to the scriptwriters within the company, not to mention Yin Jun. Not a newcomer.

For example, McDonald's only likes to use Xiao Ruoyuan's script, and he only likes to tell Xiao Ruoyuan the story he wants to do, and let Xiao Ruoyuan write it.

Therefore, Yin Jun's very realistic idea is to find a good producer, at least one who can have a stable broadcast time.

With the quality of "Bao Qingtian", as long as you give it time to broadcast, no matter when it is, it will definitely bloom quickly and be wildly sought after by everyone.

As this masterpiece that has been tested by countless people in the future, with Yin Jun's careful control, there is obviously no reason to miss it.

(I still summarize the thanks to the brothers who gave rewards every few days. This weekend, only one chapter will be updated. The brothers also go out for more walks. It’s not good to stay at home and play with mobile phones.)
