Chapter 145 The Rise and Fall of Hong Kong Entertainment
Depressed Yang Chen lowered his head and took a bite of Guoguo, and said: "The exact amount is not clear yet, but now the other party is only willing to sell 51% of the shares."
Although Yang Chen didn't know the reason why Li wanted to retain 10% of the shares.
But whether it’s 61% or 51%, as long as Li’s voice is willing to buy, he will be in charge of Li’s TV station.
Hearing this, Xue's father didn't know how to describe his expression. After a while, he calmed down a little and continued to ask: "So, the person who took action was Li's voice, the old owner of Li's TV station?"
Yang Chen nodded and said: "Hello, when I was in the UK, I heard that Li, the old owner of Li's TV station, failed to invest in Australia.
So, I asked someone to inquire about it, and I didn’t expect that in order to make up for the loss of investment, they actually planned to sell Li’s TV station..."
"It would be a pity if we miss such a good opportunity." Yang Chen couldn't help but start to feel proud as he spoke.
One of the two major free TV stations in Hong Kong will be his soon. When he thinks of Shao Daheng's status and influence in the entertainment industry in Hong Kong in his previous life.
After the other party withdrew from the film industry, he still made many stars in Hong Kong tremble.
Why is this? Isn’t it because he has the big killer weapon of the TV station?
Public opinion, sometimes compared to money cannons, can really kill people invisible.
After taking control of Li's TV station, Yang Chen is no longer just a rich man.
Nowadays, Li's TV station has not collapsed after successive bosses as it did in later generations.
At this time, it was the most prosperous period for Li's TV station after it dominated the world outside of Taiwan.
A few years ago, in order to recover from the decline of TVB, Li's TV station appointed a number of Chinese executives such as Huang Xizhao to take over the internal affairs of the station.
Since then, Li's TV has swept away its previous decline, and has aired a series of TV series that cater to the tastes of Hong Kong people and Southeast Asian Chinese. After the collapse of Jiayi TV, it has officially formed a two-power competition with TVB.
If it weren't for the call from Li's old owner of the TV station at the beginning of the year, Li suddenly diverted a large amount of working capital from the TV station, causing the TV station to be short of funds.
At this time, Li's TV station may have already begun to dig into the foundation of wireless TV stations.
When Shao Laokou entered TVB, countless people were in panic. If Li's TV station tried to poach TVB at this time, it would definitely hurt TVB.
This is the case. When the Australian consortium first took over the TV station of the previous Shili, it was still very high-spirited. A TV series (Fearless Fearless) that caused a sensation in the Chinese world caused the crowds to empty out, and the TVB station was so heavily pressed that it was hard to breathe.
Get angry.
In the end, the failure of Lai's TV station was entirely due to the blind participation of the Australian consortium, which left Huang Xizhao and a group of Chinese executives unable to do anything. Only then did Wireless get a chance to breathe and regain the situation step by step.
In the final analysis, the reason why Shili's TV station collapsed was never the so-called foreign enemy TV station, but the continuous internal turmoil.
As the first TV station in Hong Kong, Li's TV Station has a certain influence in the entire Asian market.
As long as the TV series is well produced, the big market in Asia will open its door to Li TV.
In this era, there are no protective policies between countries to prevent Hong Kong movies and TV series from entering.
The reason why Hong Kong is called the Hollywood of the East depends on the blood transfusions from Southeast Asia.
However, later on, as the economies of various developing countries got better and better, the cake became bigger and bigger. When the cake got bigger, and there was no strong ruler in Hong Kong, there were naturally more greedy people.
However, local entertainment companies in Xiangjiang were corroded and slowly declined because they could not withstand the temptation of money.
Of course, these are not the main reasons for the decline of Hong Kong movies and TV series.
The fundamental reason is that after Asian countries have developed economically, they have gradually begun to pay attention to the development of local entertainment companies.
South Korea, Taiwan, the two rising stars and the US dollar impact.
As a result, Hong Kong's local filmmakers and media tycoons had no rivals at the beginning, but later on the competition became stronger and stronger.
In addition, Xiangjiang local entertainment chose the wrong retreat at the critical moment, was short-sighted, and chose temporary interests in the inland and bay areas.
The decline was uncontrollable, and it failed again and again. In the end, it could not escape the end of prosperity and decline.
Yang Chen took over Li's TV station this time. In addition to increasing his own influence, he also planned to build Li's TV station into a real Mandarin TV station.
Xiangjiang has grown from a population of hundreds of thousands to several million now. So many people used to speak Mandarin and understand Mandarin, but why did most people choose Cantonese in the end?
The most important thing between people is language communication.
There is no problem in using any language in private, but once even the media all use Cantonese, it will be really hopeless.
When the media in Hong Kong are all based on Cantonese for a long time, the audience will give up Mandarin little by little. Without the Internet, the entertainment in people's eyes can only be obtained from movies and TV series.
No matter how the media guides, most of the people affected are the people at the bottom.
Once this trend is developed, Xiangjiang Entertainment will naturally exclude itself from Mandarin.
Let me ask, among the Chinese, do more people speak Cantonese? Or do more people speak Mandarin?
Xiangjiang TV wants to develop inland in the future. If everything is spoken in Cantonese, how will the more than one billion compatriots in the mainland adapt to it?
No one goes to learn Cantonese just to watch Yipeng TV. It’s not a movie. You can just watch it for an hour or two and stare at the subtitles.
If the celebrity hosts of long-form TV series and TV programs all speak Cantonese, no matter how good the TV is, people will become bored after a long time.
Yang Chen is planning to use Li's TV station as the cornerstone of his media career, and he will reverse this mistake no matter what.
In the late 1990s, why did Wanwan Entertainment overtake Xiangjiang?
Isn’t it just because they have the same language as the inland languages? If people choose Mandarin, they will naturally choose Wanwan.
It is really strange that there are more than one billion people in the mainland who do not want it, but they choose to succumb to the population market of several million people in Xiangjiang and not be eliminated.
If you want to avoid being eliminated, you have to follow the market trend. The protective policies of other countries are becoming increasingly serious. Then change your goal and enter the market with a population of more than one billion in the inland. If there is support from the more than one billion people in the inland, how can Xiangjiang Entertainment be eliminated?
Easily defeated.
