Chapter 26 Phoenix TV Station

Regarding the acquisition of Jiayi TV Station, in fact, An Yifei did not change much of the historical process. At most, it brought it back to life when it was most critical. Through its relationship with MacLehose, the British side let go and issued a commercial TV station. license only.Although he himself felt nothing, it caused a wave of waves in the circle of Chinese tycoons on Hong Kong Island.

Hong Kong already has a Phoenix Film Company, and Great Wall Films and others are all leftists, and the forces behind it are of course the mainland.As for the original Jiayi TV station, which was renamed Phoenix TV station, many people speculated that it has something to do with this film company?
What outsiders say, An Yifei doesn't want to care, he just likes the phoenix, the ancient totem of China.Now, only the backbone and elites of the original Jiayi TV station can stay. It is necessary to hold a meeting to stabilize people's hearts.

"Hello everyone, I am An Yifei, the chairman of Phoenix TV. I believe that you have suffered a lot of grievances in the past two months, but forget it, these are all in the past. Although Jiayi TV has only three years, it has Brilliant achievements, which are inseparable from everyone’s efforts. Without further ado, I will announce the appointment of personnel”

Liang Shuyi and others who came from wireless were pleasantly surprised. An Yifei understood that these backbones are indeed capable, and he is a layman, so it is necessary to win over this group of people.Therefore, in the end, An Yifei generously raised the salary of everyone by one level, which can be regarded as stabilizing the internal employees at a fast speed.

The appointment of personnel is very fair, which is almost the opposite of He Daheng's original practice of nepotism. After talking about the appointment of personnel, An Yifei looked at the managers above the middle level who had recovered their spirits and spirits. The city is mine. And I can tell everyone very clearly, don’t worry about funding, what you have to worry about is the quality of the programs. I need you to work with me to make Phoenix TV the No. [-] TV station in Hong Kong.”

Everyone from Liang Shuyi down was surprised again. Although they vaguely sensed something from the name, when An Yifei announced it, everyone realized that this young boss had started planning two years ago.Moreover, they all know that Phoenix Film and Television belongs to the fresh water plant. If their boss is the owner of the fresh water plant, they really don’t have to worry about funding. Although they don’t know how much the water plant earns, they have heard that it is almost a monopoly Money printing machine in general.

Liang Shuyi, Lin Dongling, Xu Ke, etc. all came to Jiayi from TVB, and Liang Lin, one is a coordinating management talent, the other is a very good program producer, and Xu Ke, who is well-known in the future The director and others, Jiayi's team is quite powerful.

An Yifei first invited all the staff to a dinner, which cost a lot.But the effect is obvious, whether it is management, actors or ordinary employees, they quickly agree with the new boss.The small management meeting that followed was surprisingly harmonious.

"Director Liang, you will have to work hard for the TV station in the future. It took me a lot of effort to get the license of a commercial TV station. There are many programs that I couldn't do before. I don't need to estimate in the future, but I have to be careful. I want to ask MacLehose Your Excellency made a promise." An Yifei adjusted the original He Daheng's office to make it look simple but grand, and he already had the temperament of a tycoon sitting behind the desk.

Liang Shuyi, Lin Dongling and the others were secretly happy. Judging from the tone of their boss, he had a very good relationship with the Governor of Hong Kong.This will be of great help to the TV station in the future, yes, it doesn't matter, how can I get a commercial TV license?

"Don't worry, sir. With the film and television city and sufficient funds, we are confident to bring Phoenix TV to a higher level." Liang Shuyi is a career-oriented woman in her 30s, and she looks very capable. The hardware conditions are really good, not only her, but all the employees are full of energy.

"Well, that's my plan. I know the abilities of you and Lin Dongling. Although I don't know much about TV, I understand talents. So you and Lin Dongling will each get [-]% of the management shares .In addition, I will give you another [-]% mobility reward shares, which will be established for contributing employees according to the situation."

Looking at the disappointed Xu Ke, An Yifei smiled slightly, "Mr. Xu, don't be disappointed, because I understand what you need, and the TV station can't fulfill your ideal. Therefore, I plan to buy Phoenix Movies. If you are interested in entering A small share?"

Reading online articles in her previous life, An Yifei found that many writers who wrote about Hong Kong entertainment misunderstood Xu Ke, thinking that he would only spend money to make big movies.The most famous "prodigal" is of course "New Legend of Shushan Swordsman", spending money to buy it.But many people have forgotten that Xu Ke was the director of the first blockbuster film "Ghost Horse Zhi Duo Xing" in the 80s, and his other small investment films have a good reputation.How else would he have the nickname of Old Monster Xu?
"Sir. Of course I am willing." Xu Ke looked at An Yifei, who was calm but smiling, in surprise, "It's just that the background of the Phoenix movie..."

"Don't worry, I will buy it if I want to buy it. You know, I like their names very much. Even if I don't want anything else, a name can make me pay for it"

What An Yifei said made the three original Jiayi backbones laugh, "Mr. Xu, you don't have to worry about staying in the TV station for a while. One more thing, which director do you think has potential? I’m not afraid of being young, as long as I’m talented. You can tell me your name.”

Of course, Xu Ke understood that buying a company was not so fast. After thinking about it, "Sir, I can only dig from wireless. I remember meeting Pan Jiade before. This young man is very nice and has great ideas for modern suspense TV; and For costume dramas, it’s good to find Zhuang Weijian. Ah Jian’s scheduling of costume dramas is very good. It’s just temporarily suppressed by others and unable to perform.”

Of course An Yifei knew about these two guys, and he had the deepest impression on Pan Jiade. After many years of filming "Criminal Investigation Files", the rate of on-demand on the Internet is not low.And Ah Jian is most famous for "Looking for Qin Ji", which has not yet come out.

"Okay, Director Liang, please keep an eye on this matter and try to recruit them. The TV series that Jiayi was filming before will continue to be filmed, don't give up halfway. The new plan will be drawn up again, and the variety show and news sections will recruit if they can't find talents. In addition, I plan to hold my own artist training class, which has been linked with the Chinese University, and these will be launched one after another.”

Liang Shuyi glanced at Lin Dongling, "Sir, Producer Lin is very familiar with TVB. It's better to entrust these matters to him than to me."

"Well, that's it for the time being." As for Chen Yulian, An Yifei doesn't plan to say more, after doing something, everyone will naturally understand the relationship between the two.

Although Jiayi TV Station has only three years of history, the hidden wealth accumulated is still good. The TV adaptation rights of Jin Yong's novels have all been won.Mi Xue, Yang Pan'er, Zheng Yuling and other actors are all old actors with great acting skills.An Yifei only paid a "fine" to the Hong Kong government symbolically, and announced that he would inherit the resources of the original TV station.

The years of friendship with "Oriental Daily" finally began to show its power, and the unfavorable remarks in the market stopped soon after each photo was published.The Nirvana rebirth of Phoenix TV Station, which was waiting to start broadcasting, coupled with the astonishing scale of the film and television city, and the job-hopping of Chen Yulian and others.Let the Hong Kong people be full of expectations and curiosity about the new TV station.

Although a little unconvinced, He Daheng knew that if An Yifei didn't make a move, Jiayi would die completely.Instead of that, it's better to hand it over to a new successor, so it's very generous to take the initiative to hand over a lot of TV-related resources and persuade the departing employees to go back.Because Daheng He knows who is behind his back, since he is incapable of revenge, he will leave it to someone who is capable.

An Yifei also took the initiative to invite He Daheng to have afternoon tea together.The two separated after a long time of secret talks. After a few days, a large number of employees who had left the TV station returned one after another.

The so-called "Wutai Mountain" is in Tseung Kwan O, not far from the fresh water plant.As early as a few years ago, An Yifei started preparations, not only built the latest building in the film and television city, but also purchased many top-level equipment of this era.After successive moves, the old Jiayi TV building finally became a spare building, making "Wutai Mountain" a bit misleading, but the name continued.

The new TV building made the employees of Phoenix TV very excited. The spacious studio hall, the entire floor of the variety show live broadcast room, and even the staff dormitory are apartment-style. There are six eight-story apartment buildings, like a residential area. , and there are shops, cafes, billiard rooms and so on.These were all designed by An Yifei based on the concepts of later generations, and cost a lot of money.

The beautiful environment around the fresh water plant, the majestic film and television city, and the sense of security given by the Red Shield security make the old and new employees quickly feel at ease and start working.The hardware facilities shown by my boss can use the word "luxury", and they all feel that they are upscale.

After half a month of preparation and running-in, Phoenix TV appeared in front of Hong Kong citizens with a brand-new attitude.After the hands and feet are no longer tied by the education license, a number of variety shows "planned" by An Yifei will be launched one after another, the first is "The Voice of Chinese".Of course, the first episode was a bit of a performance, and most of the participants were recruited by An Yifei, such as Guan Zhenjie, Huang Kaiqi and so on.And the judges were also invited with a lot of money, such as Xu Guanjie, Rib Wen and so on.

Needless to say about An Yifei's relationship with the Hong Kong government, he not only registered the property rights of all the "planned" program formats in Hong Kong, but also registered all imaginable countries and regions.If someone wants to plagiarize, then wait for the court summons.

As for TV dramas, An Yifei doesn't want to participate too much for the time being, because Jia Yiben is a big TV drama producer, and some TV dramas that died halfway will continue to be filmed in the new film and television city.Because the environment here is particularly good, a large number of martial artists don't need to invite them, and they automatically start running here to find food.
