Li's day is really changing too fast.
Obviously, the ratings of "Chu Liuxiang" exploded just now, and "Grace of the Earth" made a tenacious assault. In 1979, the advertisement fee was huge.
This is what no one thought of.
The hero Shao Yifu immediately contacted Zheng Shaoqiu, Zhao Yazhi, Huang Yuanshen, and the famous Wu Mengda in Li, hoping to let them return to TVB.
Huang Xizhao was furious, but she couldn't do anything about it.
Because he himself doesn't know how long Li's life can last, what conditions can he use to keep these big stars?
When Huang Xizhao and Zhong Jinghui were in a hurry, McDonald Bear, who was filming outside, rushed back to the company and made a suggestion: "Why don't you go find A Jun? If he gives us three or five more next year The script, are you still worried about not having income from other places? How can you make up enough money, right?"
The two were taken aback when they heard this, and then became ecstatic.
Zhong Jinghui didn't say anything, grabbed Huang Xizhao's office phone and called Yin Jun's home.
"Beep beep..."
After calling several times, but no one answered, Zhong Jinghui hung up the phone.
But at this time he was in a good mood, "Hehe, Ah Jun has gone out, why don't I go to his house later?"
"Not for the time being." Huang Xizhao shook his hand and said with a smile, "You were too impatient just now. Of course we are going to ask Ah Jun to write the script, but how to write it and how to calculate the price, we still need to study it slowly , to tell him."
"Yes." Macdonald Xiong nodded, "Although it's Li who wants something from others, we still need to establish good rules, and we can't mess up our positions first, so that Ah Jun can take advantage of our eagerness and ask for prices."
"He's not this kind of person." Zhong Jinghui laughed dumbly, "If he's really like this, it's useless for you to be on guard. I'm afraid he's much smarter than us, right?"
"Well, let's not mention this, even if he doesn't care about money, we have to think about whether he can give us a book next year, and how many." Huang Xizhao said in a deep voice, "Jiashi must be his priority. Take care, now he has come up with 9 TV scripts and 2 movie scripts, he should have almost consumed his accumulation. The number of scripts is important, but the quality is even more important."
"That's true, any screenwriter can't produce good works endlessly." Zhong Jinghui showed a dignified look, "We must prepare well that he can only write three to six scripts next year, but according to Li’s current situation, even if it’s a little economical, it’s not enough to lose three scripts. It’s better to have five, so that we can use two TV dramas in the second half of August, September, and October to impact, and strive to The advertising revenue in 1980 should be better."
"Hmph, what's the use of doing it well? Shouldn't they take it all away to fill the holes?" McDonald Bear said angrily, "After so many years of losses, they took away the profits, and we didn't say a word. It should be. But now that the normal office and filming expenses have been taken away, how do we work? Isn’t it like killing the chicken to get the eggs? If so, they might as well sell the TV station!”
"I won't get so much next year." Huang Xizhao said, "They promised me that they will get up to 80% of this year's next year. If our ratings are better, the advertising revenue and foreign copyrights will be higher. I believe It will be much better than this year."
McDonald Bear's mouth moved, but he held back and did not speak to refute.
The British guy's guarantee, that's not very trustworthy.
The company is theirs, so what will happen next year is not up to them?
If the head office's investment fails more and more, and it is necessary to further rescue other subsidiaries, what else can they do besides diverting funds from these already profitable companies?
But McDonald Bear also knows that now is not the time to think about these things. If you don't work hard now, you don't have to wait until next year to worry about being transferred funds again, and you can directly consider the way out of disintegration.
When the three of them were discussing in Li's headquarters, Yin Jun was sitting in the chairman's office in Liyuan Playground, drinking tea with Qiu Degen.
Originally, Yin Jun thought that Qiu Degen had asked him to come here because of the listing of Far East Hotel, but it was not.
At the beginning, Qiu Degen said something that surprised Yin Jun.
"Junzai, what do you think of me buying Li's Yingsheng TV station?"
Acquire Li's?
Yin Jun was taken aback, and then linked to the news that Li's capital chain was broken, which had been raging in recent days. Could this be the reason for Qiu Degen's sudden idea?
Seeing Yin Jun's surprised look, Qiu Degen couldn't help but smiled, "I haven't told you, but I've always been interested in TV stations. Sixth brother Shao and I were in the film industry around the same time. He made films , I work in theaters, and everyone is acquainted with him. When he went to establish TVB, I was also very tempted to see the scenery of TVB over the years.
It's just that I didn't have much money to build a TV station before. After all, whether it's buying Jiashi or Li's, a lot of money is needed. And it's not that the acquisition is over, it means that everything will be fine. There must be sufficient funds to support them so that they can develop well and catch up with or even surpass wireless.
I originally thought to wait until next year, when my Far East Hotel Group goes public, and then discuss with you whether to acquire Lisbon or Jiashi. Because at that time, I already had three major listed companies, and I could withdraw from the stock market and seriously do some things I wanted to do.
I didn't expect the plan to change, and Li's suddenly fell into such a predicament, so I wondered, is this my chance? ... I know a lot about the TV industry, but I think you know better than me, so I came here specifically to ask you, can I buy this beautiful one? Is now a good time to buy? Wait until next year when I have sufficient funds to make an acquisition, will there still be time? "
Qiu Degen spoke very slowly and carefully, without any haste, which proves that this matter has not been on his mind for a day or two.
Yin Jun was not at all surprised when Qiu Degen mentioned that he wanted to buy a TV station.
Isn't it the one who bought Lai's in history, then renamed it "ATV", and then rushed forward all the way?
However, that happened in 1982, and after Li's Husheng sold 62% of its shares to three Australian consortiums in 1981.
Now it is four years ahead of schedule, and this rhythm is really a bit chaotic.
But thinking about it carefully, Qiu Degen's plan was actually not hasty.
First of all, the first point is that Qiu Degen's current strength is much stronger than that of his previous life.
With Yin Jun giving advice to his Liyuan and Songcheng, the value of Liyuan has at least doubled.
There is also the listing of the entire Far East Hotel Group. Since Yin Jun told him about the idea of going to Baodao and Singapore to build a new amusement park, he has recently begun to actively plan. Done.
In this way, the market value of Far East Hotel Group will at least double or triple.
It is equivalent to Yin Jun's suggestion, which allowed him to add a wealth of about 600 million yuan, which was a huge windfall for Qiu Degen.
With such a windfall, Qiu Degen could no longer suppress his desire to start a TV station.
Especially now that Li's encountering difficulties is undoubtedly Qiu Degen's opportunity.
"The situation of British Li's Voice Company is very bad. Apart from their own business such as radio stations and TV stations, they have been actively expanding other businesses in the past five or six years." Yin Jun prepared his words and said in a harmonious voice: "But The problem is that they are separated by mountains, and they are not all-rounders, so they have suffered losses to varying degrees in many industries. For example, last year, one of their investment farms in Australia had a large loss, and the same was true for New Zealand.
This year, I heard that the larger washing powder factory in Canada is also a little bit unfavorable, and the market share is not satisfactory, and it is temporarily unable to compete with big companies. Thinking about it, if this factory also ran into a loss, it would be even more difficult for them, and the disposal of Li's TV station would become clearer.
But I don't think the first half of next year will be a good time. The days of Li's voice are not so sad that they have to sell Li's. Besides, Li's is currently operating very normally, and the TV dramas have repeatedly achieved good results. This is also an important reason why their main actors and management do not despair.
If you can wait a few more months, Uncle Qiu, to talk about this matter until the end of 1979, it should be a matter of course. If my guess is correct, next year Li's voice will definitely spend the operating funds of Li's TV station again to fill their holes. Then is your best chance! "
Qiu Degen chuckled, "I think so too. But to achieve this goal, I still need your help, Junzai."
"I help?" Yin Jun said in surprise, "I have a good relationship with Mr. Huang and Mr. Zhong, but I'm afraid I don't have much influence on such a big event, right?"
"You are wrong. You have great influence on Li's, but not in the aspect of interpersonal communication." Qiu Degen said, "I want you to not give Li's a single notebook from now on."
"Um?"
Yin Jun understood it all at once.
It turned out that Qiu Degen had this idea in mind!
Li's people are panicking now, it is said that they will not even have enough office expenses and salary for next year.
But the advertising fee was taken away by the parent company in a large amount, and what they can rely on is the copyright income of the current TV series in other places.
"Chu Liuxiang" brought Li's foreign income close to 50 million. Even if all the production and publicity expenses were removed, the net profit was more than 30 million.
"The Grace of the Earth" is also popular now. Although the income from other places is only 120,000 per episode, it is also to build momentum for the advertising investment conference in November. In fact, its ratings are very good and very stable, gradually attracting many people. Middle-aged and elderly people.
These TV stations in other cities can buy "The Grace of the Earth" at such a low price. It's almost laughable. I can't wait to give me ten more TV series like this.
It is conceivable that behind Li, there are two TV dramas carefully constructed by Yin Jun, "A Thousand Rivers and Thousand Mountains Are Always Love" and "The Change of the Silkworm". an episode.
If it is added together with "Grace of the Earth", there will be at least 30 million income from other places.
Yin Jun's four scripts not only allowed them to get 80 million yuan in net profit income from other cities, but also 100-200 million yuan of the 460 million Hong Kong dollars in advertising expenses should be counted on Yin Jun's head.
Looking at it this way, Yin Jun is indeed of great significance to Li's life and death.
Not to mention too much, as long as Yin Jun can give Li 3 scripts next year, they can guarantee to maintain next year's advertising revenue in the next year. If Yin Jun gives them 6 scripts, the advertising revenue will increase a lot, It's not too difficult.
Of course, the prerequisite is that Yin Jun's script must be of the same standard as before.
Others don't know, but Yin Jun himself understands that it is unlikely that dramas like "Chu Liuxiang" will be released at random, but it is not a problem at all to maintain the standard of hit films like "Grace of the Earth" and "People in the Net". No.
Therefore, Yin Jun suddenly figured it out, now the one who can stabilize Li's army morale and allow them to tide over the difficulties smoothly is just him.
He also wanted to understand Qiu Degen's reason for not giving Li the script.
As long as Yin Jun doesn't give the script, relying on Li's group of people's screenwriting brains, although it is possible to produce a popular movie, it is very unlikely that it will continue to be popular-this is something that even TVB can't do. A TV station can do it.
What Li's needs is not a good TV series, and then a few TV series will hit the market, and then another good TV series will be released.
What they need is precisely the continuous and stable popular TV series, and this, they can't accomplish this by themselves.
If it can't be done, Li's life in the next year will be very difficult. I dare not say that it will fall apart, but if it weakens, it is completely possible to become the last of the three TV stations.
If Qiu Degen went to buy Li's now, the British head office would definitely not do it. Now Li's TV station is their cash cow.
But if you wait until Li's death to buy it, maybe the British side will agree.
Isn't it the same for Qiu Degen in his last life?
Seeing that Li's was about to collapse completely, and the three Australian companies couldn't hold on anymore, Qiu Degen took the opportunity to step in and bought 50% of the shares for 100 million Hong Kong dollars.
After another year, Qiu Degen took full control of ATV, and he bought the remaining 50% of the shares with 50 million.
Being good at seizing the opportunity and achieving the goal cleanly and neatly, this is Qiu Degen's strength!
