Entertainment tycoon since 83

Chapter 183 Uncle Shao's Response
Although it is only Saturday of the week, it is still a certain time period on Saturday.

At other times, ATV could only defend itself against TVB, had no power to fight back, and was pinned to the ground.

But "Happy Tonight" is TVB's flagship program.

The ace show was also defeated!
Even if this is just the result of selling the British gay copyright of "Who Wants to Be a Millionaire", there is an 80% chance that it will return to the previous situation where "Happy Tonight" slightly suppresses "Who Wants to Be a Millionaire".

but!
God cannot shed blood.

The blow of "How to Be a Millionaire" made everyone feel as if they saw the health bar of TVB.

I couldn't help but look up to ATV. Does ATV actually have such potential?

The new boss Huang Ze is really capable!

It’s only been a month since we took over. What about half a year or a year?

Will this kind of situation where TVB is surpassed from time to time increase more and more in the future?

Will it become a norm or even exceed the norm in the future?

Even some TVB drama producers are starting to feel uneasy.

ATV did not spend a lot of money to poach people, but as long as he can get successful and his old employer can no longer dominate the market, it will definitely be good for everyone.

In order to prevent people from leaving ATV, they have to at least improve their treatment, right?
My old employer can't possibly cut my salary just because of a drop in revenue, right?
The salary is already so low, if it is reduced further, I would rather work in a factory and screw screws.
……

After receiving this news, Uncle Shao Liu was a little unable to remain calm.

If he didn’t take ATV seriously before.”

But this time it actually overshadowed "Happy Tonight".

Then we can’t continue to sit idle!
You have to show your attitude.

"Yihua." Shao Yifu looked at his confidante, "Can you poach the host of Who Wants to Be a Millionaire?"

"I've tried it." Fang Yihua shook her head. "It seems that ATV was confident in this program before it was broadcast. They re-signed a long-term contract with the host, and also paid a high penalty for breach of contract."

"If we pay a penalty to dig them out, it won't be worth it!"

"The biggest attraction of this show is not the host. A middle-aged person with good affinity can continue to host it."

"Besides, we spent so much money to hire a host. What will the hosts at the station think?"

"Then let's imitate and launch a quiz show to compete." Even "Happy Tonight" couldn't be suppressed, and Shao Yifu didn't have many good solutions. He decided to just go the route of imitation. Even if he couldn't suppress the opponent, at least he could divert some of the audience of "Who Wants to Be a Millionaire".

"Also, is there any problem with the copyright?"

"Variety shows are fine as long as they're not exactly like his." Fang Yihua said with a smile.

"His name is 'Who Wants to Be a Millionaire', so we'll call it 'Monopoly' or 'The Challenge of Wisdom' or something like that."

"He has 1 million for 15 questions, we will have 1 million for 10 questions."

"Make the following questions more difficult." When he thought that he would have to pay one million for answering ten questions correctly, which was less than the annual income of many TVB actors, Run Run Shaw felt distressed and gave a special instruction.

"Okay! I'll go organize people to prepare for this project right away."

……

The film and television circle is small, and the television circle is even smaller.

Basically, the two companies are playing against each other.

In addition, each side has thousands of employees, and both sides have considerable sources of information in the other's TV stations.

After TVB decided to create a new program similar to "Who Wants to Be a Millionaire", Liang Shuyi found out about it the next day.

He cursed in his heart and reported the matter to Huang Ze.

"Get out!" "Put some pressure on the wireless first."

"After the show starts, they'll make a big fuss about it, using words like piracy and plagiarism, and advertise it in newspapers. They'll also say they'll sue and bring this ugly behavior to justice."

"Of course, we'll try to drag this matter out as long as possible, and then sue after a while. No matter how slow or long it takes, we'll do it!"

Huang Ze knew he couldn't win the lawsuit.

I didn't even think about winning the lawsuit.

The purpose of the lawsuit is to let everyone know that TVB is going to rely on plagiarized programs to compete with "Who Wants to Be a Millionaire".

Let everyone know that TVB's programs are pirated.

After maintaining this for a period of time, this concept will naturally become deeply rooted in everyone's minds.

As for what the actual verdict will be, no one will care.

Just like the Bawang shampoo in the previous life, you say it is not carcinogenic, and it is indeed not carcinogenic, but it is too late.

After giving the instructions, Huang Ze no longer took TVB's imitation program seriously.

Is there anyone who can defeat the original by imitating it? Of course there is.

For example, there was a certain goose in later generations, who was unrivaled in the world for his Sharingan technique. Whoever he copied would die, until he met TikTok, and no one knows how many corpses he created along the way.

But they have an absolute traffic pool for social software, do wireless stations have that?

Moreover, "How to Get A Millionaire" has been sold to gay England. In the eyes of Hong Kong audiences, it is the genuine product and a synonym for high quality.

Putting the matter of "The Millionaire" aside, he went to watch the production of "Justice Bao" and saw that everything was proceeding in an orderly manner. As the boss, Huang Ze personally encouraged a group of actors and crew members to show that he was approachable, and then handed over the matters of the TV station to Liang Shuyi.

I continued to go back and forth between the three points, except that one of the points was changed to the record company.

Mariah Carey spent half a year to produce nine songs.

Huang Ze took it and looked at it. He only remembered the song "Love Takes Time".

Huang Ze was not sure whether the remaining nine poems were written in his previous life.

But that’s not a problem!
I will take action myself!
Huang Ze selected three songs of Mariah Carey from the dozen or so songs he remembered.

"Vision Of Love", "Someday", "I Don't Wanna Cry".

Add to that the songs she wrote herself, and that's enough.

After calling the producer to discuss the arrangements of the three songs he had written, Huang Ze let other people in the record company worry about it.

There are only a few singers in the company. Zhou Huimin and the others still need to learn, and Li Keqin will not release any songs for the time being, so the only one left is Mariah Carey.

We have to find something for them to do!

People cannot be idle. Once they are idle, they tend to have random thoughts.

The TV station and the record company were temporarily settled, and Huang Ze once again devoted himself to the post-production of "A Man Should Be Self-reliant".

On August 17, "Once Upon a Time in China" was withdrawn from the summer schedule after 27 days of release.

The total box office revenue was 30.5 million!
It became the third film in Hong Kong this year to earn over 30 million Hong Kong dollars at the box office, following "The Legend of the Condor Heroes" and "Dragon Sword".

Just when everyone was feeling a little emotional and quickening their pace to follow the trend in an effort to get a piece of the pie, something unexpected happened.

As soon as the film was released on the 17th, the sequel to "Once Upon a Time in China" was released on the 18th.

It is a sequel shot by the original team.

"Huang Feihong: A Man Should Be Self-reliant"!
