We're building a super chaebol in Hong Kong

While Su Cheng and Yang Chaoye were talking at the Su's Group, at the Wireless Building on Broadcast Drive, the top executives were gathered together.

Li Xiahe, Shao Yifu, and a group of TVB shareholders and executives were sitting in the meeting room, the atmosphere somewhat heavy.

Originally, among the three major television stations, TVB and RTV were neck and neck, while CTV was starting to decline.

TVB executives were naturally happy with this situation, after all, there was one less television station competing with them for viewership.

Over the years, TVB had spared no effort in becoming the leading television station in Hong Kong.

Even the famous beauty pageant "Miss Hong Kong" was taken over by TVB, becoming a program that ensured TVB's long-lasting popularity for decades.

But now, TVB was under pressure.

Recently, CTV, with a national fitness variety show, became the viewership champion during the 8-9 pm time slot.

The 8-9 pm time slot was the golden time for television stations, and with the sharp decline in viewership for TVB's channels, advertising revenue would naturally fall as well.

In particular, CTV also announced that they would soon be broadcasting a television drama version of "A Step into the Past", which made TVB feel even more threatened.

TVB and RTV were already fiercely competitive, and now CTV had suddenly turned around from the brink of collapse to seize viewership, if they didn't come up with a solution, TVB might follow CTV's previous path.

If CTV occupied more of the viewership time, then TVB's viewership would inevitably decline, and this situation would naturally lead to a decrease in TVB's advertising revenue, ultimately leading to a sharp drop in TVB's income.

"Everyone, let's talk about what countermeasures we can take to change this situation, we can't continue to develop passively like this," Chairman of the Board Li Xiahe broke the silence in the meeting room.

Li Xiahe hated CTV very much because it had poached all of TVB's previous senior executives, causing TVB to lose a lot of talent.

In the past few months, Liang Shuyi joined CTV from TVB, triggering a wave of poaching, with important TVB staff including Liu Tianci (Assistant General Manager and Creative Supervisor), Shi Shaoming (Program Director), Lu Guozhan (Program Promotion Director), Ye Jiexin (Production Director), and Lin Xuhua (Data Collection Manager) coming along with Liang Shuyi.

Many famous artists and directors also defected, and most of the actors in the long-running drama "Family Change" also switched camps.

After they defected, Li Xiahe had to personally take the stage to preside over the overall situation and invest heavily to slowly stabilize TVB's situation.

Everyone looked at each other, the meeting room was as silent as death.

Currently, TVB was implementing a diversified program strategy, which had allowed it to lead RTV with a slight advantage in viewership over the past two years.

This strategy also had its drawbacks, namely the large investment of funds.

With such a large investment, if the viewership did not perform as expected, they would face a large loss.

This was something that Li Xiahe and Shao Yifu and other shareholders naturally did not want to see.

In the end, Shao Yifu came out to speak: "I propose that we bring out 'The Romantic Swordsman II' and 'Enemies on the Road' ahead of schedule, and also speed up the filming of 'Xiao Shiyilang' and 'The Supreme Swordsman', and strive to broadcast them in September;

As for variety shows, I know that there is a very popular program in the United States called 'SOUL TRAIN', which we commonly call the Soul Train program. This program is very popular among young people in the United States. I think if it is introduced to Hong Kong, it should also be able to seize a portion of the viewership."

"I agree with Mr. Shao's idea."

"I also agree."

As soon as Shao Yifu finished speaking, the previously quiet meeting instantly became lively.

"A bunch of good-for-nothings!" Li Xiahe thought helplessly as he looked at the people below.

It was better when Liang Shuyi and others were around!

As for "Xiao Shiyilang" and "The Supreme Swordsman", they were still being filmed, and the original broadcast plan was scheduled for November.

These all had a fan base, especially The Romantic Swordsman, which had a large fan base in Hong Kong. If it was released, many fans would naturally watch it.

But if this was the case, it would be equivalent to completely disrupting TVB's plan, and subsequent programs would have to be rearranged, which would be very rushed.

As for the street dance program "SOUL TRAIN", no one was sure whether it would be suitable for Hong Kong.

Although it was very popular in the West, no one could guarantee whether Easterners would like to watch it.

So even though everyone knew it was very popular in the United States before, they never had the idea of introducing it.

Because it was too easy to lose money.

But now, before they could think of a better variety show, they had to take a gamble.

"Since everyone agrees, let's plan it this way first. The program director should submit the proposal to me as soon as possible. Meeting adjourned," Li Xiahe said directly.

Instead of having a meeting and discussing with a bunch of good-for-nothings, it was better to discuss it with Shao Yifu alone.

"Mr. Shao, let's go to the office and sit down," Li Xiahe said to Shao Yifu, watching the crowd beginning to leave.

"Okay, let's go," Shao Yifu nodded.

The two returned to the office, Li Xiahe personally poured a cup of tea for Shao Yifu, and then asked: "Mr. Shao, what do you think of Su Cheng as a person?"

Shao Yifu thought for a while, and then said: "Although he is young, I have to say that he is really a very talented businessman. When I was at the Governor's Mansion before, I talked to him, and he has unique insights on the development of film and television. I even have the idea of cooperating with him. This young man is too talented!"

Shao Yifu's current focus is not on TVB, but on Shaw Brothers Company.

The current Shaw Brothers Film Company can be said to be gradually declining.

Since Zou Wenhuai left Shaw Brothers and established Jiahe Film Company, almost all of Hong Kong's box office champion movies have been won by Jiahe Films in recent years.

This made Shao Yifu, the entertainment tycoon, really embarrassed.

After meeting Su Cheng last time, the two had a very pleasant conversation, and Shao Yifu had the idea of cooperating with Su Cheng, hoping to take the opportunity to step on Shaw Brothers Films.

Unexpectedly, in the blink of an eye, Su Cheng bought CTV and became a competitor of TVB.

"Then do you think TVB can defeat CTV again?" Li Xiahe asked again.

"If it's just relying on the program 'Boys and Girls Rush Forward' and the TV series 'A Step into the Past', we certainly don't have to worry, it's just that we don't know if they have any big moves later," Shao Yifu sighed.

"No matter what, we can't become the bottom of the three major television stations!" A fierce look flashed in Li Xiahe's eyes.

Investing in the establishment of Wireless Television has brought him great fame, and he doesn't want to lose this glory!
