Chapter 504 Making up for time
The Blackwater incident is not a small matter, as it may trigger a war, but it is not a big matter either, as it is still a stalemate.

After making the arrangements, Wang Yuanchao stayed in Hong Kong for a few days to spend time with his family and visit the Jiayi Television Station that he had just acquired.

Because of the early negotiations with the Governor, the TV station successfully obtained the series revision license for educational programs.

Educational programs are produced by the TV stations themselves, and the projects must be submitted to the TV Advisory Committee for review in advance. Sports, music, art and culture are also considered education.

The program broadcast time can be adjusted within a certain range as long as the total length is guaranteed, but for basic education, it must be maintained at more than 1 hour a day, etc.

Although there is an additional Television Advisory Committee to review and approve, in addition to the authorities' staff, this advisory committee also has a representative from ATV and TVB, and of course Commercial TV (CTV) itself has a representative.

ATV had just nearly gone bankrupt and undergone restructuring, which caused such a big fuss. With instructions from the Governor and Wang Yuanchao holding two tickets, the resumption of broadcasting went very smoothly.

As expected, the teaching variety show "Books Are the Gold House" topped the ratings with a crushing victory!

It’s so exciting to watch others pass levels and win prizes live!
Therefore, the ratings of the basic teaching, which seems a bit boring on weekdays, are still good, because many of the questions in the variety show are based on the usual content.

Not to mention that some people took notes while watching the program, even newspapers published the program content for people to buy and study.

The live broadcast of the Hong Kong Football League had the highest average viewership, which greatly boosted the sales of football lottery. Wang Yuanchao felt that the Football Association would need to ask for a few more commissions from football lottery. Without the exciting football league, how could football lottery be so vigorous?

These two types of educational programs brought a large amount of advertising to ATV.

This enabled ATV to liberate the serfs and sing.

However, ATV also adjusted its personnel structure and had to reserve enough talents for sports and variety shows, and even had to make a large-scale transformation in television.

Then their news programs and column programs also shifted towards sports and other cultural undertakings. They not only sent people to Europe and the United States to learn from them, but also began to report on European and American sports, current affairs and other news.

This is much faster than newspaper.

As for TV drama programs, we strive for excellence. A TV station without TV dramas always feels like it cannot survive, but quality is more important than quantity.

The TV station still has good talent. With Wang Yuanchao sorting out the major relationships and drawing up the general guidelines, the operation is booming, which has doubled the pressure on ATV and TVB.

TVB thought it could finally breathe a sigh of relief, but CTV suddenly changed and crushed its flagship program "Happy Tonight".

It can't compete with ATV, which was one step ahead and invested heavily in TV series. It's so miserable.

Even ATV felt the pressure from CTV. Did the boss think they were not doing enough, so he bought another TV station so that the two horses could compete on the same stage? At least that's what ATV General Manager Huang Xizhao thought.

Not only TV stations, but also film companies are under increasing pressure.

The boss pays much less attention to the film company!
Alas, Wang Yuanchao doesn’t have the energy to take care of it.

After Bruce Lee passed away last year, yes, Bruce Lee is gone.

There were no restrictions on his body's martial arts training, and even though Wang Yuanchao made a bet and forced him to rest for three months, no matter how uncomfortable he felt afterwards, he would not even show it, for fear that someone would complain to Wang Yuanchao.

He wanted to continue to work hard to complete "Game of Death", but the distribution companies in various countries that bought his previous works would invite him to do interviews and promotions, because they wanted the box office! Moreover, in Southeast Asian countries, they did not buy out the film, but shared the profits, so he had an even greater obligation to help promote it.

The tour continues in one country after another, and wherever he goes, he receives endless welcome, interview notices, and advertising endorsements, to name a few.

It was not until 76 that I picked up the work of Game of Death again and finally managed to gather the right people to complete it.

After its release, the Hong Kong box office took off!
At the celebration banquet, Bruce Lee lay straight down in front of everyone...

This became his last film! Countless people went to the theater to watch his last film, and it swept the box office, reaching a huge amount of 77 million! It became the box office champion in !
Wang Yuanchao then began to respect the fate of others and let go of his desire to help others.

Tell him about Bruce Lee’s matter and don’t meddle in other people’s business!

However, he has always been paying attention to the ever-popular Chan Kong-sang. Before he became famous, he was definitely box office poison until he was summoned by Yuen Woo-ping to film "Snake in the Eagle's Shadow".

There was no way he would let go of such a powerful figure, so naturally he signed both the actor and the director under his company.

Sure enough, in 78, in the first half of this year, the box office of Snake in the Eagle’s Shadow easily reached 260 million!
The box office of "Drunken Master" in the second half of the year reached 670 million!
If nothing unexpected happens, it will be the runner-up in this year's box office. The champion is "The Contract" which was released in August, a work by the Hui Brothers and produced by Starlight Pictures.

Therefore, Wang Yuanchao's attention is limited. He invested in this aspect, leaving much less for the other aspect.

If these excellent programs were brought to Sarawak, wouldn’t they be a crushing success?
Japan, South Korea, the Philippines, Singapore, Malaysia, Thailand, the Barbarians, and even India, where are they not very popular?
After taking down these people, Wang Yuanchao basically did not interfere with what they did. Their original fate was not bad, so he just had to provide conditions and help them become more successful.

Besides, a few million in box office revenue is just a drop in the bucket for his current financial and real estate empire or the Hollywood industry.

Last year, "Star Wars" had a North American box office of $4 million. Just three weeks after the movie was released, MGM's stock price doubled!
Orange Films and Lucasfilm are both private companies that are not listed on the stock market and have not received any share of the stock market pie.

His company produced and distributed the films, and got the fattest piece of meat, as well as various authorizations such as toys surrounding film and television works, and the copyrights of sequels. This series, like the 007 series, will bring him countless profits.

There are so many American blockbusters, and he picks and chooses, making sure that no work that comes to the door of MGM is missed. That's enough.

But Bruce Lee’s legacy still needs to be inherited and carried forward. It’s not just about business, it’s also about the culture of growing flowers!

Moreover, in the Hong Kong film industry, it seems very difficult for blockbusters to beat Hollywood because the investment is different.

We cannot not make changes.

Wang Yuanchao set his sights on animation. The Lion King, a joint production of Starlight Pictures and Ice Animation, was successfully approved. He followed Disney's path in advance, leaving Disney with nowhere to go.

This is a typical animal world version of the prince's revenge story.

Just adapting the script took a lot of time - well, it's still being adapted now.

In addition to helping others produce animations, Hanbing Animation also needs to have its own animation production capabilities. And animations can't be made quickly, they have to be polished slowly.

Classic characters such as Simba, Mufasa, Scar, and even their appearances were all written by Wang Yuanchao himself.

I haven't painted for many years and I suddenly feel like painting.

Keep writing stories. Once you have written a good story, you can continue creating.

In mid-November, Wang Yuanchao went north to Yangcheng.

Zhu Lin, who came to the Autumn Fair to broaden his horizons, brought a lot of Hong Kong fashion, shoes, socks, jewelry, and cosmetics, from inside to outside, from top to bottom, a full set of autumn and winter clothes, as a gift.

The girl had no mission on hand, and the group gave her a letter of introduction just to gain some experience.

So after Wang Yuanchao picked her up from the station, he took her straight to the hotel where he was staying.

Some things are only worth tasting.

After expressing her heartfelt feelings, Zhu Lin dressed up and put on the fashion gift brought by Wang Yuanchao. She instantly became charming and turned into a Hong Kong beauty.

But high heels can only be worn in the hotel. They are definitely not suitable for going out shopping, so I changed into wedge-heeled leather shoes.

The two of them visited the Autumn Trade Fair, and later Wang Yuanchao and Uncle Huo met with leaders from Guangdong Province, Guangzhou and other places to discuss matters such as joint ventures in building hotels and personnel training.

Wang Yuanchao served as eyes and ears, and on some occasions he also brought Zhu Lin. No matter what conclusion Uncle Huo and the others came up with, he would just execute it.

He is not afraid of being at a disadvantage at all.

Besides, the country will not let them suffer a loss even if they spend a fortune to buy horse bones.

However, for such a matter involving an investment of tens of millions of dollars, the mainland is unable to come up with a feasible solution quickly.

After Zhu Lin attended such an occasion, he never wanted to go out with Wang Yuanchao again.

"I know you are a powerful figure now, but don't scare me. I'm still an ordinary citizen." Zhu Lin was still frightened.

Wang Yuanchao shrugged:

"I want to show you the world. You'll get used to it after seeing it more often. Besides, they won't recognize you if you dress so fashionably."

Zhu Lin glanced at Wang Yuanchao and reached out to pinch him - this seemed to be a skill that the girl had learned naturally.

Wang Yuanchao grimaced in pretending to be in pain, and Zhu Lin said:

"Did I hit you so hard?"

Wang Yuanchao laughed and said:
"Since you don't want to see the world, how about I take you to see a movie? The one in Hong Kong!"

The place where foreign guests are received also has a movie room. Hong Kong provides a lot of film sources. For Wang Yuanchao, it is just a matter of moving them directly from the warehouse, without even having to pay any distribution fees.

Zhu Lin wanted to say something but stopped himself. In the end, he couldn't resist his curiosity and followed Wang Yuanchao back to the hotel.

Wang Yuanchao asked the hotel for movie projection equipment and took out some films.

……

Zhu Lin's face was still flushed:
"You guys actually still make movies like this?!"

Wang Yuanchao said:

"Compared with what's happening abroad, this is nothing."

Zhu Lin was stunned:
"So are you all naked?"

Wang Yuanchao got up and took off the film "Jin Ping Shuang Yan", which was directed by Li Hanxiang in 74. It had Jackie Chan as Yun Ge. You won't see scenes like this again! This girl couldn't understand his good intentions.

"That's what film art is. I'll show you a normal movie we watch!"

What was normal and what was abnormal, Zhu Lin finally realized that he was being teased by Wang Yuanchao again.

However, such movies can indeed make people, as a girl, feel very excited when watching them.

"This is a movie by the new generation Kung Fu superstar Jackie Chan, Drunken Master. Take a look."

The two of them strolled around the Autumn Fair during the day, and when they were tired they went back to the hotel to watch a movie. They went together as a pair, as if they wanted to make up for the years they had lost.
