Chapter 122 - Run Run Shaw

Henry came to Hong Kong this time, and countless pairs of eyes were watching his every move! This will also include mainland China...

The main purpose of Henry's visit to Hong Kong this time is to control the Warwick Company, and by the way, take advantage of the turbulent period before Hong Kong's handover. The reason Henry reminded Guan Zhilin that he had a very important document in his bedroom was that he wanted to use her mouth to leak the acquisition of TVB and Shaw Brothers, so as to distract everyone's attention and let Cisco control Huawei behind the scenes. no attention...

Ming Xiu plank road, dark Chencang!

In addition, Henry is very aware of Run Run Shaw, who is very persistent and regards TVB as his life. He will never sell TVB! If I want to buy TVB from him, it is as hard as heaven! However, there is also a TV station in Hong Kong, Asia TV, and Henry's target is actually this TV station...

Asia TV is not expensive, and Lin Baixin only spent 200 million Hong Kong dollars to buy all the shares of Asia TV from Qiu Degen. In fact, ATV was the first free-to-air TV station in Hong Kong, many years before TVB. The Asia Television Corporation was originally called "Voice of Lai". As early as April 1957, Voice of Lai was approved by the Hong Kong government to set up a cable TV and was issued a license. A page of history! ! !

Then it was in the hands of Qiu Degen, and the name was changed to Asia Television Co., Ltd.

TVB was established on November 19, 1967, but TVB came to the fore, and Li's TV was almost unstoppable, causing Li's TV company to change hands several times...

It's not that I'm too incompetent, but the enemy is too powerful...

Li's TV is also tragic enough to meet such a legendary figure as Run Run Shaw!

Run Run Shaw was good at filming. In his early years, probably when he was 19 years old, Run Run Shaw went to Southeast Asia with his brother to explore the market in person. At that time, the conditions were very poor, and every day, the projection equipment and film copies were dragged by trolleys and the films were shown in turn from village to village! In this way, the Shaw Brothers movies became famous. At that time, their film company was called Tianyi Film Company, which was established in Yokohama Bridge, Hongkou, Shanghai, and later owned more than 100 movie theaters in Southeast Asia and other places. Who knows, the sudden outbreak of World War II, all the hard work for nothing!

After World War II, the rest of the Shaw Brothers became disheartened and basically gave up their film careers. But Run Run Shaw did not admit defeat, he came to Hong Kong alone and founded the Shaw Brothers Film Company, which opened a new era of Hong Kong films and influenced generations after generations...

Run Run Shaw has been to the United States and has seen Hollywood Studios. So, after he returned to Hong Kong, he was ambitious and vowed to build the largest cinema in Hong Kong and even Asia. Later, he established Shaw Studios in Repulse Bay. The establishment of Shaw Brothers Studios has laid a solid fortress for the huge Shaw Brothers movie empire. Countless excellent movies were born from Shaw Brothers Studios! ! !

Run Run Shaw also discovered in the United States that television has replaced film as the more influential video medium in the United States! So he suddenly realized that TV was more important than movies. So, in 1967, Shaw, who had a deep strategic vision, set his sights on TV stations and founded TVB. After 1990, Shaw Group even began to shrink the film industry and vigorously develop TVB...

The biggest problem in TVB's early days was that there weren't enough actors.

At that time, unlike now, there will be various institutions to train actors. It can be said that there were very few actors at that time. And TVB needs a lot of actors to shoot TV series.

How to do?

Run Run Shaw made a decision and set up a wireless training class...

As a result, the people who came out of the wireless training class actually supported Hong Kong, and even half of the entire Chinese performing arts circle...

The wireless training class can be said to be "the Whampoa Military Academy of Hong Kong stars", which has cultivated a large number of Chinese superstars such as Chow Yun-fat, Stephen Chow, Andy Lau, Tony Leung and so on! ! !

So arrogant and coaxing, what makes people feel bad? Asian TV can only hide in the toilet and cry...

Not only that, the election of "Miss Hong Kong" has been held for a long time, but it is sparsely held and has little influence. But in the hands of Run Run Shaw, it shone like a layer of gold. With the help of Miss Hong Kong's gimmicks, Run Run Shaw vigorously developed its potential value, not only giving the Miss Hong Kong champion a certain gorgeous crown, but also signing contracts with her, acting in TV movies, releasing records, etc., to make her a big star! As a result, "Miss Hong Kong" became popular, and there were countless people competing to sign up. Suddenly, during the election activities, there were so many beautiful women, the audience was so cool, and the ratings were super high! ! !

ATV Handan learnt to walk and got a "Miss Asia", but she was embarrassed and became a laughing stock!

From "Miss Hong Kong", there are many top beauties like Li Jiaxin, and "Miss Asia" is full of ugly girls. Nima is too embarrassed to do it...

The back waves of the Yangtze River push the front waves, and the front waves die on the beach!

This is the true portrayal of Asian TV...

If Henry bought ATV, the first powerful enemy he would face would be TVB. In order to weaken TVB, it is natural to use some means.

If you hit the grass, you will startle the snake! ! !

Guan Zhilin leaked the contents of the document, which was more authentic and persuasive. Everyone really thought that Henry would buy TVB. In the face of a high salary that is 50% higher, TVB will definitely be in chaos. To block Run Run Run, this is what Henry is very happy to do! ! !

Guan Zhilin held a grudge after being rejected by Henry. The contents of the file were leaked the next day!

Soon, Hong Kong's newspapers, television and other media reported the incident.

"The world's top richest man Henry Williams wants to spend huge sums of money to buy Hong Kong TVB TV station!!!!!!"

At this moment, inside TVB TV station, people's hearts are floating.

"My God, billionaires are going to buy TVB, we are going to change owners?!!!"

"The big boss is rich. If TVB is acquired, our treatment will definitely improve!"

"Hehe, of course. Haven't you heard that if Henry Williams didn't make the acquisition, he would poach us with a 50% higher salary!!!"

"Fuck, it's so rich, I want to be dug by him now..."

"hehe, me too……"

Run Run Shaw quickly held a press conference to make a statement: "TVB refuses to take over!!!"

As soon as the statement was released, not to mention how hot the outside world was, the inside of TVB was already in chaos... Many people started to contact, and everyone went to work together! ! !

The front page of the unscrupulous "Sun" wrote: "The most anticipated thing of this year, the TVB group has changed jobs!!!"

At the Peninsula Hotel in Hong Kong, reporters are already surrounded by reporters at this moment... (Please recommend and collect!!! The author has built a book group: 424930141, everyone is welcome to join...)
