Chapter 197: At least three days of excitement
Huang Xizhao said in surprise: "Young Master Yang wants to enter the television industry?"
Yang Ye smiled and said: "Didn't I already enter the industry? Last year Qiong Yao and I We cooperated and made a movie called "In the Rain," but I beat you up so much."
Huang Xizhao immediately thought of the fear of being dominated by "In the Rain". At that time, Jiashi had just closed down, and Huang Xizhao recruited a lot of people. There are few talents, but they are full of ambition and ready to do something big.
I never thought that TVB would suddenly release a movie called "Small and Rainy", which would instantly rob the audience. To this day, Wireless still replays "In the Rain" from time to time.
This thing gets huge ratings every time it is replayed. Who can I ask to reason?
However, Huang Xizhao is indeed a talent. In 1975, he became the first Chinese general manager in the history of Lishi, and then began drastic reforms.
He boldly hired new talents and discovered a group of young and powerful production talents, such as McDonald's, Li Zhaoxiong, Tu Yongxiong, known as the "Beautiful Three Heroes", Xiao Ruoyuan, Xu Xiaoming, "screenwriting masters" and so on.
During the Huang Xizhao period, LiTV invented the method of using long-form dramas to create variety shows. In 1978, LiTV produced "Crocodile Tears", a famous wireless variety show "Happy Tonight", which became a hit "Happy Tonight" is losing ground.
In 1979, LiTV launched "The Transformation of the Silkworm", which destroyed all TVB's unit dramas. In a short period of time, all the big-name TVB stars such as Zheng Shaoqiu, Zhao Yazhi, Wang Mingquan, etc. were gathered together to shoot "Chen Liuxiang" to challenge. Fang regained the lost ground.
In 1980, the "Emerald Theater" series written and directed by Xu Xiaoming and others was used to broadcast wireless "Emerald Theater", which caused the "Emerald Theater" to close down. Since then, there has been no Emerald Theater. The long drama "Turn Around" starring Zheng Shaoqiu and Zheng Yuling was also After being beaten in half, they could only use Xie Xian to counterattack with "The King of Kings"...
In 1981, Wireless's "Dragon and Tiger" was beaten in half again, and Li's overwhelmingly powerful feature-length drama Under the concentrated attack, Wireless has been beaten to the point of being unable to fight back.
If LiTV persists for a few more years, it may be able to change the situation of wireless being the only one company. Unfortunately, LiTV's parent company failed to invest and sold LiTV to an Australian consortium.
After the Australian consortium took control of Lishi, they made a show of manipulation and Huang Xizhao resigned. His subordinates McDonald, Xiao Ruoyuan and Huang Tailai also resigned and left.
And now, the time when Yang Ye meets Huang Xizhao for tea is when Lishi's "The Transformation of the Silkworm" is getting rave reviews. Yun Feiyang stars Xu Shaoqiang.
However, although Wireless's tactics were dirty, they could not stop Lishi. Lishi hired Ye Tianxing, who was similar in stature to Xu Shaoqiang, to wear a mask and take over the role temporarily.
The reason is that Yun Feiyang has an unspeakable secret and is unable to show his true colors to others, so he increases the number of supporting roles as a delaying strategy.
Later, Lishi simply revised the script so that Yun Feiyang would be reborn as a result of practicing the "Celestial Silkworm Magic". He would be reborn and change his appearance. They also found a niche student, Gu Guanzhong, to play Yun Feiyang.
Wireless realized that playing dirty tricks had little effect, so it had no choice but to be tough. It immediately summoned Zheng Shaoqiu, Wu Mengda, Wang Mingquan, Huang Xingxiu, Li Siqi and others, and asked Wang Tianlin to serve as the producer to start filming "Chu Liuxiang".
Well, there is no Zhao Yazhi in this version of "Chu Liuxiang". She is breastfeeding her child at home.
The power of Gu Long cannot be compared to the original martial arts dramas created by Lishi's writers.
As soon as "Chu Liuxiang" was broadcast, it immediately triggered a viewing frenzy. It is probably the most popular TV series since the opening of Hong Kong.
Zheng Shaoqiu's Chu Liuxiang and Lin Qingxia's Dongfang Invincible are both so successful that they directly subvert the original work.
After they finished their performance, the image of Chu Liuxiang and Dongfang Bubai in people's minds was finalized, and the original work was put aside.
The difference is: Jin Yong was very unhappy and said to Xu Ke: "Our friend will continue to do it, but the copyright will not be sold to you."
And what about Gu Long? Gu Long was also very unhappy. He sighed: "The world only knows Zheng Shaoqiu, but not Gu Long."
However, Gu Long chose... to join if he can't beat him.
He directly changed Chu Liuxiang to look like Zheng Shaoqiu in the novel.
In the Chu Liuxiang novel series, the image of Chu Liuxiang before and after is different. At the beginning, Chu Liuxiang was a big man with bronze skin, and later he became Zheng Shaoqiu.
Huang Xizhao said strangely: "I am just the general manager of Lishi. If you want to acquire Lishi, Mr. Yang, you should go to the shareholders of the company, right?"
Yang Ye said: "Of course, it's just that Lishi has too many shareholders and the relationships are complicated. I need to know their situation in detail. I think no one knows the ropes better than General Manager Huang."
Huang Xizhao suddenly realized that this was what happened.
If this is the case, Yang Ye did not find the wrong person when he was looking for him.
Huang Xizhao thought for a while and said: "Young Master Yang, you are a genius in the film industry. In terms of TV dramas, you tried your hand at it with "In the Rain" and it became a sensation in Hong Kong and Taiwan. I admire you very much. It would be an honor for me to work with you. However, Lishi is now prosperous, and I am afraid that the parent company Lishi will not be willing to sell Lishi."
Yang Ye said: "They will be willing. You have also seen the People's Liberation Army's attack on Vietnam, which shocked the whole world! Hong Kong's lease term is about to expire, and the mainland will definitely take back Hong Kong on time. If Li's voice is sensible, he should take the money and leave quickly."
Huang Xijing understood. It turned out that Yang Ye had this idea. He said: "This is just your guess. How do you know it will definitely happen? If the result is different from what you expected, wouldn't your work be in vain? ?”
Yang Ye said: “There is no sure thing in this world? I am just preparing for a rainy day. I don’t plan to acquire the shares of Li’s Voice now. My target is just the scattered small shareholders. < br>
To tell you the truth, I now own a film company, a record company, an artist management company and a movie theater chain. For my entertainment career, the TV station is the last piece of territory and it is inevitable.
But I don’t want to take advantage of those messy people, so I plan to win over those small shareholders in advance. As for the shares in Li’s voice, I can just wait for the situation to change. As long as my bid is high enough, they will not There is no reason to sell it to me."
Although Yang Ye's words were simple, Huang Xizhao saw Yang Ye's ambition, which was to build an entertainment empire.
Huang Xizhao smiled and said: "Young Master Yang, if you tell me your business plan, aren't you afraid that I will leak it?"
Yang Ye shook his head and said solemnly: "You can't, even though you are General manager of Lishi, but the British will not regard you as one of their own. Only if I take over Lishi can you be like a fish in water."
Huang Xizhao did not answer and took a sip of tea. The British don't consider him one of their own, but he agrees. But when Yang Ye took over LiTV, he was like a fish in water...
Yang Ye smiled and stretched out a palm: "I can promise you that once I successfully take over LiTV, I will I’ll give you 5% of the shares.”
These words moved Huang Xizhao. In Hong Kong in this era, working people are working people. Divide shares? I want to eat shit!
No matter how much you earn, it all belongs to the boss. If he gives you a bonus at most, it means the boss is kind-hearted.
Huang Xizhao raised his tea cup and said, "I am very eager for the entertainment empire that Mr. Yang wants to build!"
Huang Xizhao agreed to get on the bus, and Yang Ye was very happy and shouted The waiter came in to take orders, and the two chatted while eating.
In fact, if Yang Ye is patient, it would be most convenient and cost-effective to wait two or three years until Lishi is turned into a mess by the Australian consortium before acquiring it.
But... Yang Ye doesn't want to do this.
Nowadays, Lishi is full of talents and strong generals. It is a time of prosperity. The whole team is full of energy. This spirit is the most important.
At this time, taking over Lishi, we were able to suppress Wireless with all our strength.
So, it doesn’t matter if you spend more money, you can just earn it back.
If, like Qiu Degen of the original time and space, he waited until 1982 to acquire a company with withered talents, then Yang Ye would have to spend countless efforts on the re-emergence of Lishi, which would simply be more gain than loss.
Yang Ye and Huang Xizhao had a great time at this meal. The result of the discussion was that Huang Xizhao came forward to invite the small shareholders out and defeat them one by one.
The current Lishi is worth about 150 million Hong Kong dollars, and Yang Ye has prepared 200 million Hong Kong dollars to complete this acquisition, which is enough.
Three years later, Qiu Degen took over Lishi, also spending 200 million. Of course, accounting for inflation, he spent less. Huang Xizhao thought that Yang Ye might have to wait several years to become the owner of Lishi, but in fact he didn't need to!
Because in March 1981, Li Shi's voice would transfer 61% of Li Shi's shares to an Australian consortium due to the failure of its investment in North America.
Yang Ye didn’t even need to wait until 1981. He just had to take action immediately when Li’s voice investment failed in 1980 and he was preparing to sell his Asian business.
If everything goes smoothly and everything is calculated, Lishi will be Yang Ye's after just one more year of waiting.
……
Tonight we filmed the bar encounter scene. This scene was very important. In order to facilitate filming, the crew set up a bar directly on the set.
Yang Ye didn't take much rest during the day, so he went to talk to Huang Xizhao about something, and then returned to the company to handle some work.
I was very sleepy when I returned to the set at night, so I took a nap on a sofa in the lounge before filming started.
When he woke up, he found that he was covered with clothes. When he turned around, Lin Qingxia was looking at him lovingly.
Yang Ye smiled, stretched out his hand to pull her into his arms, scratched the tip of her straight nose, and said with a smile: "Are you peeking at me?"
Brigitte Lin giggled Said: "You want to be a hero to save the beauty tonight!"
Yang Ye hugged her tighter and said: "Yes, save my beautiful Qingxia."
The two were affectionate for a while, and Lin Qingxia said with concern: "I found that you are very tired recently. You often run away as soon as you get off work, and you always take a nap on the set."
Recently, the two were filming together. Sometimes Lin Qingxia wanted to have dinner with Yang Ye after work, but Yang Ye ran away, which made her very dissatisfied.
Of course Yang Ye couldn't tell her that I've been busy being a baby daddy lately!
He found a reason and said: "I am planning to buy Lishi. I have been meeting Lishi's shareholders recently and discussing the acquisition with them."
Lin Qingxia said in surprise: "You want to buy a TV station?"
Yang Ye nodded and said: "Artist management is a very good business, but if you want to make this business bigger, you must provide enough resources for the artists. Just It’s not enough to have a film company and a record company, you also need a TV station, but there’s nothing new about it yet, so don’t talk about it outside.”
Lin Qingxia was very happy that Yang Ye told her this and said quickly: "I know."
How did she know that Yang Ye couldn't tell her that she was busy taking care of her baby recently? , so I told her this to save her from asking again.
"Go to the dressing room!"
Yang Ye, Lin Qingxia, and Cheng Kui'an were putting on makeup in the dressing room, and there was a "dong dong dong" noise outside.
Yang Ye curled his lips: "They are very happy!"
Lin Qingxia smiled and said: "You set up a bar here, how can they not have fun!"
Yang Ye said: "I originally wanted to rent a bar for filming, but this scene may take several days to film. , the rent is not cheap either. Then I thought I might as well build one myself and do whatever I want.”
The three of them put on makeup and walked into the makeshift bar. Oh my god, the lights were flickering on and off, and a group of ghosts and ghosts were flying in the middle of the dance floor.
Yang Ye vaguely saw many acquaintances, and upon closer inspection, there were actually many artists from the agency.
There was also someone from the company next door. A short man less than 1.5 meters tall was playing DJs on the stage. He turned out to be Teddy Robin.
Yang Ye was stunned. What is going on?
Hong Jingbao ran out of nowhere and said, "I don't know who spread the news that we were having a party, so everyone came."
"You didn't tell them about us. Are you looking for an extra?”
“They said it’s okay to be an extra.”
"Then I won't give you any money!"
"They don't want any money!"
"Just leave it like that, turn off the music first and say a few words."
Hong Jingbao He gestured to Teddy Robin and turned off the music. Yang Ye walked up to the stage and complained with a microphone: "I don't know who made the rumor, but since everyone is here, then... Hi Get up! ”
“Oh oh oh ”
"Hi, hi, hi, my scene still needs to be filmed. Let's help and cooperate later to finish the scene. After the filming is over, I will have fun with everyone!"
"No problem!"
< br>"Also, if you don't shoot well today, you have to come back tomorrow and have fun for at least three days!"
...
This scene is between Li Kai, Yang Lisa and the Terminator The first official encounter between the three was very important.
Cheng Kui'an took out a Colt automatic pistol equipped with a laser pointer and pointed it at Lin Qingxia's eyebrows. Lin Qingxia suddenly showed a horrified expression.
At this moment, Yang Ye made a shining appearance, lifted his cloak, and pointed the shotgun at Cheng Kui'an, "Boom! Boom! Boom! Boom! Boom!"
With each blast, Cheng Kui'an He took a step back, fired five shots, and the Terminator fell to the ground.
Of course, the gun couldn't kill him. He immediately got up, took out his submachine gun and fired randomly. The two sides had a wonderful gun battle.
Cameron's arrangement of this shootout can only be said to be average, and it is even less interesting than John Woo.
Therefore, Yang Ye did not completely follow Cameron's shots, but instead borrowed a lot of John Woo's shots.
Li Kai, played by Yang Ye, looks domineering and cool. He leaps into the air with a shotgun and shoots in the air. The post-editing has to be slowed down...
In short, Finished pretending to be Zhou Runfa.
Wu Yusen is still making comedies. I wonder how he will feel after seeing this "Terminator".
Although Yang Ye's posture was very attractive, it was of no use because he couldn't kill the Terminator with a gun, so he immediately got up again.
As the saying goes, one operation is as fierce as a tiger, and the damage is 0.5 at a glance.
Yang Ye emptied the magazine, pulled Lin Qingxia up, and said to her: "If you want to live, come with me!"
Then, he took the beauty and ran away. Got it!
