Chapter 108: Control the power of public opinion!
Lin Zehao's generosity is absolutely unprecedented!
Hutchison Entertainment is emerging as a new force in the Hong Kong entertainment industry with an extremely strong attitude!
If people were just watching before, now anyone with a little ambition and pursuit is considering the possibility of joining Hutchison Entertainment.
Lin Zehao's actions have an impact on the Hong Kong entertainment industry that is no less than a major earthquake!
"Mr. Lin, I happen to have a TV drama script right now. Could you please take a look at it?"
Wang Jing, 25 years old this year, has been involved in crew affairs at an early stage because his father is a famous director. He has written several scripts that have been invested in productions and is considered a screenwriter with some achievements.
When Wang Jing was talking to Lin Zehao, he was more or less nervous, and from time to time he pushed up his black-framed glasses on the bridge of his nose, showing his immaturity.
On the one hand, it is because of the other party’s boss status, and on the other hand, it is because of the oppressive feeling brought by his status as a big boss of the society.
Although Hong Kong society has become almost integrated with social societies these days and social societies can be found everywhere in life, how many people can get close contact with the leaders of the four major social societies?
When Lin Zehao took the script, the first thing he saw were four big words: "King of Kings".
In an instant, memories surged in his mind and he had made a decision in his heart.
After flipping through the script briefly, Lin Zehao put it aside. Such a decisive action made Wang Jing's originally uneasy heart almost sink to the bottom. Just when his will was depressed, a magnetic voice rang out.
"This script is good, Nansheng, we can go through the production process."
"Ajing, do you have a choice for the director?"
Lin Zehao first gave Shi Nansheng an instruction, and then asked Wang Jing for his opinion.
After all, he is the screenwriter and has many opinions to provide for reference.
In just one minute, Wang Jing experienced the ups and downs of hell and heaven. After he came to his senses, he said a little embarrassedly: "Mr. Lin, I want to be the director of this play myself. I wonder if it's possible?"
Having been a screenwriter for such a long time, Wang Jing had long wanted to become a director, but he never had the chance.
After all, a screenwriter who doesn't want to be a director is not a good director.
"How about this, I heard that your father retired some time ago, why not invite him to be the producer, the compensation will not be small."
"With him in charge, I can rest assured in letting you be the director." Lin Zehao said after thinking for a moment.
Although he was aware of Wang Jing's talent, it was his first time as a director after all, so it was better to be cautious.
No matter what, Lin Zehao would never joke about the company's prospects. With the veteran director Wang Tianlin looking after it, there would be no problem on Wang Jing's side.
"Thank you Mr. Lin, I will definitely cherish this opportunity and make a hit film!"
"My dad will definitely come, don't worry."
Wang Jing's face turned red, his voice trembled with excitement, and he subconsciously clenched his fists. He was glad that he finally got this opportunity, and he was extremely grateful to Lin Zehao.
Having a father who is a famous director is of course beneficial to Wang Jing, who aspires to develop in the entertainment industry, but it is also a spur and pressure on him.
With the help of Lin Zehao, Wang Jing finally took the first solid step, which was also the first step to surpass his father.
"Mr. Lin, which TV station are we going to sell this drama to?"
"TVB?"
The project "King of Gamblers" is also the first project that Shi Nansheng has led the production of after joining Hutchison Entertainment, so of course he is extremely concerned about it.
Previously, there were three free TV stations in Hong Kong Island. After ATV went bankrupt due to poor management, only Rediffusion Television and TVB were left.
Although ATV was the first free TV station in Hong Kong Island, it was overtaken by TVB when it came to producing color programs, resulting in its current ratings being far lower than TVB.
Therefore, if a TV series wants to be popular these days, the best option is to broadcast it on TVB.
"No, I don't plan to broadcast this drama on TVB." Lin Zehao picked up the iced whiskey, took a sip, and shook his head.
"Is it going to be broadcast on ATV?" Shi Nansheng asked in surprise.
She probably knew that her boss had a good relationship with Shao Laoliu, and the other party's appearance at the premiere of "A Better Tomorrow" was proof of that.
With this kind of relationship, it is not a problem for the company's TV series to be broadcast on TVB, and they can even strive for prime time.
Now that Lin Zehao said this, there must be other reasons.
"No matter which TV station broadcasts it, no matter how high the ratings are, the bulk of the revenue will not be in our hands. In the end, we are just making wedding clothes for others."
"So, I plan to broadcast this drama on our own TV station, wouldn't it be better?"
Although Lin Zehao's tone of voice was very calm, it was like a bolt from the blue to the ears of everyone in the conference room.
"Mr. Lin, do you have a channel to obtain a license for a free TV station?" Guan Weipeng was the first to react and asked curiously.
As we all know, it is extremely difficult to obtain a license for free television stations in Hong Kong. There are no clear standards at all, and the decision-making power lies entirely with the Hong Kong government.
As long as there are no cards on it, it will be useless no matter how much money you have.
"This is a commercial secret and cannot be disclosed for the time being."
"But don't worry, there should be results soon."
With Lin Zehao's current wealth and overall strength, it is not enough for the Governor of Hong Kong to issue him a separate license. His solution is to acquire Rediffusion.
Rediffusion, the holding company of Rediffusion Television, intends to sell its Rediffusion Voice branch as a package. If Lin Zehao can purchase it, he will naturally become the owner of Rediffusion Television.
Lin Zehao's memory clearly states that at this time next year, Rediffusion Entertainment of the United Kingdom will sell 61% of its shares to a family from Australia.
As long as he can purchase it before this family, everything will be fine!
As long as it is taken down, it will not only promote the diversified development of its industries, but also serve as Lin Zehao's voice. In the future, there will be no need to worry about the power of public opinion.
And this matter, before it succeeds, is naturally top secret and not a single word can be revealed to anyone.
Not to mention the company's employees, even her partner, Rosamund Kwan, knew nothing about it.
"It should, it should."
"Don't worry, we won't say anything."
After hearing Lin Zehao's words, everyone expressed their opinions and said that they would not talk nonsense.
At the same time, everyone has a new understanding of the boss Lin Zehao's strength, which has reached a new level than before.
After the meeting, everyone went about their business and quickly got back to work.
Only Zhou Runfa stayed behind, looking as if he wanted to say something but hesitated.
Lin Zehao put on his suit, called Luo Tianhong and prepared to go out. When he saw Zhou Runfa's appearance, he waved and said, "Let's go. I still have to go to the construction company for a meeting. We can talk in the car if there is anything."
The Mercedes-Benz was driving smoothly on the road. Zhou Runfa, who had been struggling for a long time, finally spoke, "Brother Hao, Mengda has been calling me every day and crying all day long. I really can't bear it..."
Lin Zehao asked without even looking up, "Didn't we already make this decision?"
"Until he truly repents, just ignore everything."
"If you don't teach this kind of gambling addict a lesson, he will never repent."
