Chapter 1239 Lack of Money

Yang Hong was a little confused.

The problem with ATV is not in the production department. Why do we always have the first to use the production department to perform surgery every time we have difficulties?

In the past few years, ATV has continuously cut off staff from the production department and reduced the number of self-made variety shows and dramas, resulting in the departure of many artists.

Now, not to mention the ATV production department is comparable to the glorious period, even if it is inferior to some small cable TV stations, there are only a handful of leading artists.

Looking at the TVB opposite, although the rivers are getting worse, the lean camel is bigger than the horse, and it firmly crushes ATV in terms of financial resources and starlight.

Unless Wang Jiasheng is willing to invest money to create a big production this time, Yang Hong really has no confidence.

"Everyone must also show confidence in winning and help the production department win this battle!" Wang Jiasheng continued.

Seeing that everyone was not moving, he couldn't help but call him and asked: "President Kuang, what do you think?"

Kuang Yiying is nominally the acting president of ATV, but in fact he is just a cover, Wang Jiasheng himself, who truly manages ATV.

However, Kwong Yiying was able to join ATV's predecessor, Lite TV, since 1976. He has served as executive manager, program manager, program director, assistant CEO, consultant, senior vice president and other positions. He has stood firm after seven bosses. His best ability is to cater to his will.

Since Wang Jiasheng wants to fight, then fight. At worst, if you defeat him, he will become his vice president of ATV.

"The ratings of TV stations have been declining recently. There are many reasons, including external and internal reasons, overall and self-capable reasons, which have led to a sharp decline in advertising revenue and many advertisers leaving. I have an unshirkable responsibility for this. I hope that under the leadership of Boss Wang, I can be brave enough to know my shame and then change this situation as soon as possible."

Official words, clichés, car whispers, Kuang Yiying said it one after another, and between each set of words, he didn't forget to praise Wang Jiasheng. He could speak for half an hour without repeating it, without any substantive content

As for why there is no substantive content, I dare not say that if I want to investigate the cause, I will eventually attribute the responsibility to Wang Jiasheng.

Wang Jiasheng himself knew very well that the various reasons Yang Hong said were ultimately one sentence: lack of money!

The external reason is that TVB is rich.

The internal reason is that ATV has no money.

The reason for the general environment is that the Hong Kong media industry is in decline and the market shrinks, requiring more marketing expenses and blockbuster programs, but ATV has no money.

The reason for one's own ability is even simpler, money! money! money!

As the saying goes, before the troops move, food and grass will come first. It is something that fools know that when war requires food and grass. Wang Jiasheng does not provide food and grass, and it would be nice if the people below do not mutiny. How can they have the intention to fight?

After Kuang Yiying finished speaking, the others also spoke one after another. They followed suit and were basically nonsense. Anyway, they would do whatever Wang Jiasheng said.

Wang Jiasheng was also helpless and could only say: "Yang Hong, Taili will invest 50 million this time to create a fine fashion drama, similar to the "Big Times" and "Genesis". Do you have any confidence?"

Yang Hong was shocked.

A movie worth fifty million?

ATV hasn't fought such a wealthy battle in many years!

Others also whispered to each other.

In this environment, an investment of 50 million yuan can be considered a super big production.

The TVB opposite was extremely saving when filming dramas. A chicken bowl appeared in various TV series one after another, and the average investment in fashion dramas was only over 20 to 30 million, and even fewer costume dramas.

The artist's pay is even less. The starring actors are about 100,000 yuan per episode, and the supporting roles are only tens of thousands. Only some superstars can get paid hundreds of millions of yuan.

Under such circumstances, TVB can output one or two hit dramas and five or six high-quality dramas every year.

If Wang Jiasheng could really put out 50 million and build it with the determination to make a contribution in one battle, he would really be able to create a super hit product!

Yang Hong immediately said: "Boss, if there is really such a big investment, if I dare to issue a military order, I will definitely surpass TVB in terms of viewership. If I can't do it, I will resign!"

"Just do it! You can do the script first and leave it to me about investment." Wang Jiasheng said proudly.

As soon as he finished speaking, Wang Jiasheng's cell phone vibrated. He glanced at the call number and said with a smile: "It was Mr. Cai who called. He should want to ask about the meeting, right?" He said that and answered it casually.

"Hello, Mr. Cai, I am Wang Jiasheng..." Wang Jiasheng laughed.

Cai Guangming's voice sounded on the phone. Everyone couldn't hear what they were saying, but they suddenly became ugly when they saw Wang Jiasheng's face.

"Mr. Cai, this matter can be negotiated. You can't...Mr. Cai?Mr. Cai?"

Wang Jiasheng suddenly called out a few times, but only busy sounds came from the microphone.

Putting down your phone, Wang Jiasheng reluctantly said: "The meeting is over here, everyone can do it first..."

"Boss, when will the funds be available?" Yang Hong asked.

Wang Jiasheng's face was not very good: "I had some temporary problem here, so I plan to put it aside first, and I will start it after I solve the problem."

Yang Hong didn't dare to ask any questions, so he could only nod and exit the conference room.

Several senior executives walked out the corridor, and somebody muttered: "It's going to rain."

They looked out the window and it turned out that dark clouds were heavy and the storm was about to come...

Only Wang Jiasheng and Sheng Wenru were left in the conference room.

Sheng Wenru is Wang Jiasheng's cousin, and the executive director was specially arranged by Wang Jiasheng for him, so that someone can control the overall situation when he is not here.

"Brother, what happened?" Sheng Wenru asked cautiously when he saw Wang Jiasheng's face looked very ugly.

Wang Jiasheng said angrily: "This old bastard Cai Guangming is too bullying people! He bullies them too much! He applied to the court for liquidation a while ago, and now he threatened me again. He thought it was Hong Kong Island and I had no choice but to do anything to him!"

Only when his anger subsided a little, Sheng Wenru realized what was going on.

On the phone just now, Cai Guangming informed Wang Jiasheng about something that he had reported to the Hong Kong Island Communications Affairs Management Association that Wang Jiasheng was involved in the daily operations of ATV.

According to the Hong Kong Island Broadcasting Ordinance, ATV is a free public television in Hong Kong Island. The control and management of the TV program must be made and carried out in Hong Kong Island. The work of selecting, producing or arranging the broadcast time of TV programs must be the responsibility of the main personnel living in Hong Kong Island.

Wang Jiasheng is not from Hong Kong and does not comply with the regulations, so he asked Huang Dexuan to hold the shares on his behalf so that he could continue to run between the mainland and Hong Kong.

In fact, the regulations are relatively loose. Many people know the relationship between Huang Dexuan and Wang Jiasheng, but they turn a blind eye to the people and not prosecutors.
