Return to Hong Kong Island for a Century

Chapter 360 A8 (Second Update)

"I'll skip the meal; I have other things to do." Li Song wouldn't go out to eat with outsiders.

It wasn't that Li Song suspected Qian Xiaohao, but rather that he was afraid of being used. During the Cold War, Hong Kong had spies all over the world.

How many clandestine methods do these organizations employ?

No one knows.

Although Li Song has bodyguards, he still needs to be careful.

"Alright then, I'll definitely do my best." Qian Xiaohao had no choice but to say this after hearing Li Song's refusal.

Then Li Song shook hands with other people, signed autographs for the audience, and took photos with them. Some audience members even brought magazines or novels.

After Li Song removed his makeup, he went to the cafeteria to eat with Liu Jiale.

"I've come up with another idea." Li Song said during an interview today.

Those are dating shows and job-seeking shows.

Li Song knew that the two shows would later become very controversial, but variety shows are all about controversy.

“Boss, please tell me.” Liu Jiale quickly said when he heard that Li Song had another idea.

"I don't know if it will work. The first one is a dating show..." Li Song felt that this timing was a bit early, because women's status in Hong Kong at that time was not very high.

"I'll apply for the copyright first and then we can discuss it." Liu Jiale wasn't sure if anyone would watch the show Li Song mentioned, but it's normal for a show to have no viewers; the chances of it becoming a hit are very small. However, the chances of Li Song's idea becoming a hit are much greater.

“The other one is a job-seeking program…” Li Song added.

"There's another investment program where people can put up their own products and investors can invest in them." Li Song thought of some of Amei's investment programs later on.

Liu Jiale was surprised that Li Song would have three ideas, and it sounded like these three ideas were just coming up, because they were all in a general direction.

"Let's apply for the copyright first." Liu Jiale had tasted the sweetness of copyright; the copyright of The Voice of China was popular all over the world, and the income from this copyright was almost free.

In addition, someone is interested in the copyright of Avenue of Stars and negotiations are underway.

"Hmm." Li Song nodded. He didn't actually like watching these shows, but since they were able to run so many episodes, there must still be people who liked them.

"Stop the car!!" Li Song said as soon as he got out of the TV station.

Li Song opened the car window and looked at Zhao Yazhi, who was waiting for a taxi by the roadside.

There is no bus stop near Phoenix TV because Phoenix TV is a converted old factory building located in an industrial area.

"Boss!" Because it was rush hour, Zhao Yazhi waited for half an hour but couldn't get a taxi. When she saw a private car pull over, she moved a little further away. Unexpectedly, the car window rolled down and it was Li Song.

"Where do you live? I'll have someone take you there!" Li Song asked.

“I still live in Federal Garden!” Zhao Yazhi quickly replied.

"Then get in the car!" Li Song said, opening the car door from the inside.
"Thank you, boss!" Zhao Yazhi had already noticed that Li Song's bodyguard was sitting in front!
"You already have a good income, why are you still renting?" Li Song thought Zhao Yazhi was still renting!
“I bought a second-hand house in Federal Garden.”

"Boss, don't you know?"

“It’s because you live in Federal Garden that the houses there are more expensive than the surrounding ones now,” Zhao Yazhi said.

"Excuse me!"

"I really didn't notice that!" Li Song glanced at Zhao Yazhi and then said apologetically.

The woman in front of me is a year younger than Zhu Ling.

I'm 28 years old this year!

She was dressed very elegantly and was wearing perfume.

As the saying goes, the old A8 is still an A8.

Besides, the other person isn't very old, not even thirty yet. It wouldn't be a problem to drive around like that, and Li Song isn't planning on getting married anyway.

"No, thank you for your consideration, boss!"

"Should you buy a car?"

"I spend most of my time filming outside now!"

"And we still have to pay the mortgage!"

"That must have been quite tough!" Li Song knew that the other party was divorced, but he didn't know the specifics. In any case, the divorce case had caused quite a stir.

Phoenix TV is located in the Kwun Tong area, while Federal Garden is on the island. However, it was rush hour, so the connection was slow!

Zhao Yazhi was a little uneasy, mainly because Li Song, a billionaire, was putting too much pressure on her!

Their private jets cost hundreds of millions of dollars.

Not to mention the huge industry it has!
My own endorsement contract is just a small part of what they've leaked.

That's enough to buy myself a car and a house!
Although I was very popular when I was at TVB, I didn't earn much money at all!
Back then, the most you could earn for filming one episode of a TV series was two thousand yuan.

It sounds like a lot, but after all, most people in Hong Kong earn around HK$2,000 a month, with only a few white-collar workers earning relatively high salaries!

However, filming a TV series isn't something you can do every day!

Some TV series are canceled immediately if their ratings are low.

No matter how popular a TV series is, it has nothing to do with the actors, let alone advertising.

Often, when you shoot a commercial for a TV station, you only get a few thousand yuan for the appearance fee!
How was it filming in mainland China?

"The people on the mainland are very enthusiastic, and everyone is cooperating very well!" Zhao Yazhi was telling the truth, because no one wanted to lose their job.

What film are you shooting right now?

"Water Margin and Journey to the West!"

"Have the roles been decided yet?!"

"Not yet, they're still in training!"

"The reason why TV dramas produced in mainland China are better than those produced in Hong Kong is because they strive for excellence!"

"In Hong Kong, the training and in-depth script reading are not conducted like in mainland China when filming TV dramas!"

“Yes, yes, the competition among TV stations in Hong Kong is too fierce. The pace has to be fast. If the pace is slow, there will be no ratings and no money will be made!” Li Song certainly knew about Hong Kong TV dramas.

This is actually a form of cost control!
"Boss, thank you. Would you like to come in and have a seat?" After returning to the Federal Garden, Li Song learned that Zhao Yazhi had bought the house she used to rent. She lived on a floor a few stories lower than him. Just as they were about to arrive, she spoke up.

"Won't this bother your family?" Li Song asked. How could he possibly refuse an invitation?

"I live here all by myself!"

"My child is with my parents. I often travel for work and it's inconvenient for me to take care of the child!" Zhao Yazhi said.
"Then let's take a look!" Li Song nodded!

Li Song followed the other person off the elevator, telling his bodyguard not to follow.

Because the entire apartment building where Li Song lives is under the surveillance of bodyguards!

"You should have bought a bigger one!" Li Song arrived at the other party's house and, after a quick look, knew it was a two-bedroom apartment.

"This is already great. I never even dared to dream of being able to buy a house before!"

"I'll still take out a loan for this house!"

"And for me, this is already very good!" Zhao Yazhi shook her head. Although she was famous before, she didn't earn much. This house costs more than 300,000 yuan.
