We're building a super chaebol in Hong Kong
#160 - Drama Tactics
Movie scripts, compared to novels that easily run into hundreds of thousands of words, have far fewer words.
A normal, detailed movie script usually clocks in at around thirty to fifty thousand words.
Therefore, it didn't take Xiao Ai long to produce the scripts for 10 movies.
10 movie scripts are enough for them to film for a long time.
After finishing the movie scripts, Su Cheng started working on television drama scripts.
With Xiao Ai around, Su Cheng didn't need to consider which scripts to produce; he simply told it to generate the representative works of the 80s.
This time, they still produced 10 television drama scripts.
During the assembly, Xiao Ai specifically instructed Su Cheng to have the lab people install four printer interfaces on the computer.
Current computers simply can't run four printers simultaneously, but with Xiao Ai, everything is possible.
At this moment, this broken computer seemed to become Xiao Ai's temporary body, and under its control, the work efficiency soared.
《The Bund》, 《The Legendary Fok Yuen-gap》, 《Chen Zhen》, 《Reincarnated》, 《Always Feeling, Wandering Through Mountains and Rivers》, 《The Good, the Bad, and the Ugly》, 《Police Cadet '84》, 《Looking Back in Anger》, and many other popular Hong Kong television dramas of the 80s were simultaneously printed by four printers under Xiao Ai's control.
Compared to the previous IBM 5110, the current work efficiency is much faster.
After finishing these tasks, Su Cheng went to bed happily.
The next day at noon, Su Cheng woke up refreshed. After washing up, Su Cheng took the television drama scripts and movie scripts and went out.
"Go directly to Jiulong Tang Broadcast Drive's CTV Building," Su Cheng instructed the driver after getting in the car.
"Okay, Boss!"
When Su Cheng arrived at the CTV Building, it was almost lunchtime.
When he found Leung Suk-Yee, she was tidying up the documents on her desk, looking like she was about to leave the office.
"Boss, you actually have time to come over today?" Leung Suk-Yee greeted Su Cheng with a smile.
Su Cheng hadn't come since he brought the script for 《My Date with a Vampire》 last time.
"Yeah, just came to see how our television station is doing recently," Su Cheng asked after pulling up a chair and sitting down.
"Recently, our television station has been doing okay on weekends. We have three ace programs on weekends, and our performance is the best among the three major television stations. However, our performance from Monday to Friday is a bit worse, especially since we don't have any excellent television dramas to broadcast. Relying solely on the 《Boys and Girls, Charge Forward》 variety show makes it difficult to compete with the other two television stations.
《My Date with a Vampire》 is already in preparation for filming, but the preliminary preparations require too much time. Even if we plan to prepare it in a way that we film and broadcast simultaneously, it will still take more than a month to officially broadcast," Leung Suk-Yee said somewhat helplessly.
From mid-July to early August, CTV's program filming work was basically interrupted, leading to a gap in the current broadcast programs, making it even more difficult to compete with the other two television stations.
"It's okay, I've brought you a solution to this matter," Su Cheng said with a smile.
"Oh? What solution?" Leung Suk-Yee asked in surprise.
"Look what this is," Su Cheng directly unzipped his handbag and took out a thick stack of documents.
《The Bund Script》?
Leung Suk-Yee immediately recognized the words on the top page.
Su Cheng didn't say much and directly placed all the documents on the desk, separating the scripts one by one.
They were all labeled: 《Encounter of the Spooky Kind Script》, 《Carry On Pickpocket Script》, 《The Legendary Fok Yuen-gap Script》, 《Chen Zhen Script》, etc., a total of 20 scripts were placed in front of Leung Suk-Yee.
Leung Suk-Yee quickly flipped through each script with trembling hands. With her many years of experience in the industry, she could naturally distinguish whether these scripts were excellent.
"Boss, these, did you write them all?" Leung Suk-Yee was stunned.
In the screenwriter section, Su Cheng made a joke. The names behind were all different, but the surnames were all the same, all surnamed Su.
Therefore, when Leung Suk-Yee saw these screenwriter names, she guessed the truth.
Just like with 《A Step into the Past》, Su Cheng used the pseudonym Su Yi.
The screenwriter's name for 《My Date with a Vampire》 was Su Cheng's pseudonym, Su Shisan.
Therefore, it was not difficult to guess that these scripts in front of her should all be from the boss's hand.
This was too terrifying.
She roughly browsed through a few of them. Although she didn't know how popular they would be when filmed, she had to say that they were all very excellent scripts.
"You don't need to care who their screenwriter is. In short, they are all licensed to CTV for free filming, without any copyright fees!" Su Cheng said with a smile, both admitting and denying.
"This is really great. With these scripts, it won't be difficult for CTV to lead the other two television stations in the competition, and our film department can finally start projects," Leung Suk-Yee said very happily.
Some time ago, Su Cheng had told her not to worry about the script matter, but at that time, she was actually skeptical, after all, good scripts are not so easy to come by.
Moreover, even if the boss really could produce them, it would only be one script at a time!
However, the scripts in front of her now totaled 20!
What kind of concept was this?
Speaking of movies alone, even Jiahe Film Company, the most awesome film company in Hong Kong today, only shoots twenty or thirty movies a year.
These 10 movies are enough for a big film company like Jiahe to not worry about movie scripts for half a year.
Not to mention the film department of CTV, a newly established department, which may not be able to finish filming 10 movies in a year.
As for television dramas, CTV has filmed more than fifty television dramas in the three years since its establishment, which means that it films an average of ten to twenty television dramas a year.
Therefore, the 10 television drama scripts given by Su Cheng are enough for CTV to consume for a long time.
Most importantly, these are all high-quality scripts!
Although Leung Suk-Yee had not read all the scripts, and had only read some of the content in the first few scripts, she had picked them randomly, and the quality was excellent, which meant that there must be no bad scripts among these scripts in front of her.
"If you want to completely defeat the other two television stations in a short period of time, you can only use the strategy of a sea of scripts. I have brought out so many scripts, this is your advantage, and after these scripts are used up, you don't have to worry about follow-up scripts, I will have them then!" Su Cheng said with a direct smile.
Broadcasting several television dramas a day, and all of them are very good to watch, which television station can compare?
