Rebirth of Xiangjiang - 1978

After leaving the conference room, Lin Daoqiu called Huang Xizhao, Xu Xiaoming and others to the chairman's office.

This was originally Qiu Degen's office. The decoration style and furnishings were very simple, which also reflected Qiu Degen's character.

However, Lin Daoqiu and Qiu Degen are obviously different. As for what style he wants to decorate his office in, Lin Daoqiu has to decide by himself.

"Everyone, please sit down and talk."

Huang Xizhao, Xu Xiaoming, Huang Ying, Li Zhaoxiong, Tu Yongxiong and others sat down one after another.

These are all old people from ATV, and Lin Daoqiu's Oriental TV will have to rely on them to be responsible for the daily operations of this TV station in the future.

"I plan to re-adjust the department structure of ATV. The production department will oversee the production of all programs, including variety shows, dramas, news, etc. The screenwriting department will be temporarily in charge of Wen Jun, Zheng Danrui and Huang Ying."

Lin Daoqiu wanted to adjust the department structure of ATV. Huang Xizhao felt that this was tantamount to weakening his own power in disguise.

If the power of the production department is increased, the power and responsibilities of the general manager will be correspondingly reduced.

However, Huang Xizhao was naturally not stupid enough to question Lin Daoqiu's decision. He could only cooperate with whatever the new owner did.

"Of course, General Manager Huang will still be responsible for the daily operations of OTV in the future."

Lin Daoqiu's reorganization of these departments did not actually want to restrict Huang Xizhao, and Huang Xizhao did not pose any threat to Lin Daoqiu at all.

The reason why he did this was to allow ATV to have a mature and complete system to operate. Only with a clear division of labor can things be done well and efficiency improved.

"Afterwards, OTV's producers and directors no longer serve in the production department."

Originally, everyone thought that Lin Daoqiu planned to let Xu Xiaoming be the director of the production department, but they did not expect that Lin Daoqiu actually wanted to exclude the producer and director.

"Mr. Lin, if there is a conflict between the production department and the producer director in the future, who should listen to it? Or who should make the decision?"

Xu Xiaoming doesn't necessarily need to be in charge of the production department, but he needs to figure out whether the rights and responsibilities of the producer and director are greater or smaller than before.

Lin Daoqiu could understand Xu Xiaoming's concerns, so he explained to him.

“The responsibility of the production department, taking a TV series as an example, is to assist the director and producer in filming the show, from the preparation of the TV series to the script to the selection of the director and producer.

"To put it in more detail, the production department is responsible for the preliminary preparations. The filming of the TV series is still mainly focused on the producers and directors."

For Lin Daoqiu, the production department is responsible for providing services and helping directors and producers prepare for the filming of TV series so that they have no worries.

If this is the case, then what the director and producer have to do is much simpler than before.

"Mr. Lin, if I like a theme and actors, do I need to get approval from the production department if I want to make a movie?"

Lin Daoqiu nodded.

Before the TV station had to start a show, the producer and Huang Xizhao would probably have a chat and then start the preparations.

Now we don't need to go to Huang Xizhao to start the movie, but directly transferred to the production department. This is indeed a big change.

"Everyone can rest assured that there will not be only one reviewer, and a cross-review method will be adopted at that time. If you still cannot decide, you can ask General Manager Huang or me to make a decision."

Since it is a large company, it cannot use the previous method to build a TV station.

Although Lin Daoqiu's adjustment made many directors and producers not very happy, after all, it was tantamount to taking away their rights in disguise.

No one knows whether this change is good or bad, but since Lin Daoqiu has thought everything out, it is useless for them to object.

Compared to the production department, Lin Daoqiu is obviously more concerned about the screenwriting department.

"It's obviously impossible for the three of you to support the writing department of a TV station. From now on, you must try your best to recruit people and enrich OTV's writing department."

Lin Daoqiu did not expect that Wen Jun, Zheng Danrui and Huang Ying could support ATV's screenwriting department.

Moreover, Lin Daoqiu still plans to let these two guys, Wen Jun and Zheng Danrui, join the film industry.

The reason why they are temporarily allowed to come to ATV to help is because the current situation is special.

"Brother Qiu, don't worry. After you took over ATV, many people at TVB are interested in switching jobs. You are a movable sign."

Wen Jun smiled from ear to ear. With Lin Daoqiu as a movable type sign, poaching people was not an easy task.

"Except for screenwriters, I want as many outstanding talents as TVB has. Don't worry about money. If I can hollow out TVB, I will give you a salary increase."

Now that he has become the owner of this TV station, Wireless has naturally become his enemy.

Xiangjiang is too small and the population is too small, so it is unlikely that it can support the simultaneous operation of two large TV stations.

Therefore, Lin Daoqiu must defeat Wireless and squeeze them out of the Hong Kong market, so that Oriental TV can be considered a real success.

…………

"The storm is about to come, and I heard that poaching has begun in the East."

Li Tiansheng, Kam Guoliang, Zhao Zhenqiang, Qiu Jiaxiong, Xiao Sheng and several other wireless gold medal producers sat around and chatted.

After Lin Daoqiu took over ATV, he changed ATV's name to Oriental TV. More than a week has passed since then.

"Mr. Lin's behavior has always been like this, and he didn't mean that Hong Kong only needs one TV station, and if it hollows out Wireless, it will win without a fight."

Regarding OTV's poaching move, some of the five of them have already had initial contact with each other, but they haven't discussed it in detail yet.

"Ms. Fang has been looking gloomy recently. I think Mr. Lin's purchase of ATV is a big blow to her."

Fang Yihua even issued a gag order, prohibiting TVB employees from talking about Oriental TV in the company.

"There's nothing strange about this. It was only a matter of time before Mr. Lin bought the TV station, but I didn't expect it to be so soon."

For these gold medal producers, they will not find it difficult to compete with the previous ATV.

But if the opponent were Lin Daoqiu, then probably none of them would be willing to get into trouble.

"I also heard that Mr. Lin announced during the meeting that one billion will be invested in OTV drama production in the next five years."

After hearing the news, the other four people took a deep breath.

Originally, Lin Daoqiu was a big trouble for TVB, but now he has invested an additional billion, which is a disaster for TVB.

Several people shook their heads and sighed. Everyone felt that TVB's future would be very dark.

Just wait and see whether Uncle Liu and Miss Fang will increase their investment and have a head-on confrontation with Lin Daoqiu.
