Rebirth of Hong Kong 1981

   Chapter 190 Production and Broadcasting Separation

   After writing the theme song that originally belonged to the play, Yang Chen handed the manuscript to Xu Xiaoming.

   "Director Xu, take a look at this song, are you satisfied?"

   "Full, satisfied, satisfied, too satisfied."

  Xu Xiaoming took the manuscript excitedly, his fingers were shaking, staring at the lyrics, he couldn't help humming.

   Looking at Xu Xiaoming's appearance, Yang Chen smiled understandingly, and didn't care that the other party was being rude in front of him.

   For people like Xu Xiaoming and the others, Yang Chen understands their obsessions and preferences for one type of thing.

   Many times, it is because of a group of people like them that audiences can see such wonderful movies and TV shows.

   After a while, Xu Xiaoming hummed and came back to his senses, and quickly thanked Yang Chen: "Chairman, thank you, thank you very much."

  Yang Chen waved his hand and said, "Okay, you don't need to thank me. Don't forget that you are working for me. If you have finished filming the TV series, it should be me who will say thank you."

   I don't blame him for not accepting it, it's just because the song wasn't his in the first place. He's already very sorry to the author for copying it out in advance. If he accepts someone's thanks again, his face really hurts.

Ignoring Xu Xiaoming was still excited, Yang Chen said to Huang Xizhao next to him: "Manager Huang, this hero Huo Yuanjia is really good, and it can be filmed as a standard for this year's ATV drama. That would affect the performance of the actors too much.

   In the future, ATV’s TV dramas should be played after filming as much as possible. Although the viewership rate can be predicted in advance while filming, the overall quality of the TV series can easily be affected by what is filmed in such a busy way.

   As for bad dramas, which will cause serious losses to the TV station, this kind of thing is inevitable.

   But we can't let the better TV series that could have been filmed lower the quality because of the loss to the TV station.

  If you want to avoid bad dramas, you first need to pay more attention to the script, recruit some excellent screenwriters, and let them write down every episode and every segment in detail.

  The story can't be too general, and it can't be based on the director's preferences and experience.

  The screenwriter is not limited to the inside of the TV station. After you go down, you can send a notice to collect the script from the whole Xiangjiang. If the script is unanimously approved by the directors and screenwriters of the TV station, the script will be evaluated and bought.

  The script is not limited to a one-time buyout. If the TV series later becomes popular, we have to take the initiative to add money to the script writer to increase everyone's enthusiasm..."

   Yang Chen said so much, it is obvious that he is preparing for the separation of production and broadcasting of Asian TV stations. The separation of production and broadcasting is not unique to later generations. Many foreign TV stations are now adopting this model.

   Therefore, Huang Xizhao was not surprised when he heard it. He didn't say much, nodded and replied, "Okay, I will adjust this aspect later."

   Seeing that although Huang Xizhao agreed, but his face was somewhat reluctant, Yang Chen couldn't help but say: "Speaking of this, Manager Huang, you should have heard my thoughts.

   Yes, in my plan, ATV will inevitably implement the separation of production and broadcasting in the future. I know that the separation of production and broadcasting may cause losses to the TV station.

   However, I have already thought of a solution to this point. From today, all TV dramas shot in Asia are allowed to accept outside investment.

   In other words, as long as anyone in the outside world is willing to invest in any ATV drama, he can become an investor in that drama.

   Those who invest in ATV TV series can enjoy the benefits of the TV series with ATV after the TV series is broadcast.

  Xiangjiang is not short of rich people, and there is no shortage of rich people who want to invest in movies and TV series. If the production and broadcast separation does not accept external investment, the TV station will inevitably suffer losses.

   But if we minimize this loss, there will be a possible risk, which will be transferred to the investor.

   In this way, we may share a portion of the final revenue, but it will be of great benefit to the entire TV station. "

   Following Yang Chen's remarks, Huang Xizhao couldn't help but fall into silence. Originally, he thought that Yang Chen's separation of production and broadcasting was to separate his own power.

   But now it seems that he is still too petty, and he has not thought through the mind of his boss at all.

   Allowing outside investors to invest in TV dramas is something that has never happened in the past, such as Lili, TVB, or Jiashi, which has gone bankrupt.

   In the territory of Xiangjiang, no TV station would allow others to share food on their own site.

   Yang Chen's move is tantamount to giving profits to all investors. Let's see who can be the first to eat crabs.

   I have to say, Yang Chen's idea is very good, and it is also very suitable for the difficulties faced by TV stations after the separation of production and broadcasting.

  With outside investors, ATV will not follow in the footsteps of Jiashi, even if it produces TV dramas.

The only bad thing about    is that once the TV series makes money, the TV station has to share the cake with the investors, which is a good test of the minds of the shareholders behind the TV station.

   Interests, although the Chinese have always paid attention to the idea of ​​making money with harmony and having money for everyone, but if you really want to be able to take advantage of yourself, no one else can easily give up the interest.

   It is hard to imagine that this decision that is good for the TV station but not good for the interests of the shareholders behind the scenes was made by Yang Chen, the major shareholder of ATV and the big boss behind the scenes.

   If he hadn't heard it with his own eyes and seen it with his own eyes, it would be almost hard to believe it was true.

   "Boss, look at this, do you need to think about it again?"

   To be honest, it’s really rare to meet a boss who thinks so much about the TV station. Huang Xizhao doesn’t want Yang Chen to regret the decision he made today.

   Therefore, it is implied that Yang Chen can put aside this matter temporarily, and then make a decision after thinking about it clearly in the future.

Yang Chen naturally heard what Huang Xizhao meant, but he still shook his head without hesitation and said, "Manager Huang, I have already figured out this decision, there is no need to think about it, it should be sooner rather than later, while Director Xu is here, I am very optimistic about his TV series, and I predict that it will be a big hit.

  Since this is the case, we might as well use this big drama as a sweetener to see who is willing to eat the first crab to come forward, and let them pay for the first fresh. "

   Seeing this, Huang Xizhao and Xu Xiaoming looked at each other, and it was not difficult to see the helplessness and joy in their eyes.

   As for Yang Chen's temperament that he must do it down when he makes a decision, they were aware of this decisiveness, and at the same time they felt the pressure.

  The boss takes this very seriously, and the employees naturally dare not be sloppy, especially Xu Xiaoming, the person who cooks crabs, the pressure is unprecedented.

   However, it is a pity that Yang Chen, the big boss, is the one who made the decision, and he is not even qualified to refuse.
