Chapter 973 Poaching and Job-Hopping
The news that Liang Naipeng unexpectedly joined ATV shocked the entire Hong Kong media. All knowledgeable people know that ATV is not far away from turning around. A rich boss and a capable CEO, the two of them are a perfect match.
Soon the first wave of influence from Liang Naipeng's joining came. Liu Jiahao and Zhuang Weijian, current gold medal producers of ATV, jumped to ATV at the same time. They all started at ATV and then went to TVB. No one thought that after becoming famous, they would choose to return to ATV. Back to ATV.
This unexpected choice is the best reflection of Liang Naipeng's personal connections.
If only those in the industry know the influence of these people, then it is sensational news that four of them, Ouyang Zhenhua, Li Yaoxiang, Meng Jiahui, and Charmaine Sheh, moved to ATV at the same time and became ATV's contracted artists.
This time, both industry insiders know that ATV’s rise is imminent, and even ordinary viewers are full of expectations for ATV’s future.
These four people are currently very popular artists at TVB. Au-yeung Zhenhua and Charmaine Sheh are the guarantee of TVB's ratings. They are now the well-deserved brother and sister of TVB. Their job hopping makes TVB unable to believe it.
Liang Naipeng did such a big thing in just a few days after taking office, which greatly surprised Liu Jian.
It's not that he never thought about poaching people, but he didn't do it after Fan Junyu's dissuasion. Unexpectedly, Liang Naipeng not only did it, but also made such a big deal. Although it cost a lot of money, Liu Jian didn't care at all.
ATV can afford this money.
In fact, it doesn't matter that these four actors changed jobs together. The important thing is that the two gold medal producers returned to ATV and were truly valued by Liu Jian. This is the decisive thing. After all, there are only actors and no good producers. Not producing good works. The return of Liu Jiahao and Zhuang Weijian not only represents the two of them, but also the two creative teams, including their royal screenwriters, photographers and others, who have jumped to ATV.
Liu Jian had to lament Liang Naipeng's generosity. Liu Jian didn't ask specifically how he did it. As long as ATV could be taken care of well, Liu Jian would not interfere with Liang Naipeng's decision.
Leaving professional matters to professionals has always been Liu Jian's idea.
A week after Liang Naipeng switched jobs to ATV, Liu Jian prepared a welcome party, not only to welcome Liang Naipeng, but also to welcome the arrival of these executive producers, screenwriters and actors.
ATV's current executives and several of Liu Jian's women were all present.
These people all hang out in the circle, know each other, and chat with each other, while Liu Jian sits with Liang Naipeng to discuss things.
"Mr. Liang, that's awesome. It's really a blockbuster. Now Wireless is probably very worried!" Liu Jian said with a smile.
Liang Naipeng smiled modestly and said: "Small tricks can't wait for the big stage, and this will not damage the foundation of Wireless. There are too many artists at Wireless, and we can't just poach a few to influence them."
Liu Jian waved his hand and said: "If it doesn't work, just dig them all out. It's just liquidated damages. I can afford it."
Liang Naipeng was a little speechless. He really encountered someone who took money instead of money.
"Boss, don't worry, someone will come after their contract expires. We can't do it too hastily, just do it little by little!" Liang Naipeng said.
Liu Jian smiled sheepishly and said: "I'm a little impatient, but if we really want to recruit people, Mr. Liang, just go ahead and do it. I really want to see the day when ATV's actors are all in one place."
Liang Naipeng smiled and said: "There will come a day. In fact, ATV has a lot of artists, but the exposure rate is not enough. ATV is far inferior to TVB in terms of making stars. After all, with Shaw Brothers behind them, the exposure of their artists The ratings have always been high, and over time, the audience will naturally accept them. But now ATV, with Liu's Entertainment Group, the largest entertainment group in East Asia, has an advantage over them. This is also the reason why I can successfully recruit people. , if they can’t see the future development direction based on money alone, they won’t change jobs.”
Liu Jian nodded and said: "There is no problem in this regard at all. I will ask Wang Jun to contact you. You can discuss how to operate better! Don't forget that we are not only a market in Hong Kong, but also a market in China waiting for us. . It is absolutely possible for our actors to go to the mainland to act, not only in TV but also in movies."
Liang Naipeng said: "This is also what I want to do. And boss, wireless's top management will be in turmoil after a while, and some core managers will jump in to help me."
Liu Jian nodded to express his understanding. It seems that these are Liang Naipeng's team members. It seems that he has long been prepared to enter wireless. If he hadn't suddenly appeared, he would have been unable to compete with Fang Yihua after he entered wireless. Get by.
This is a wily guy.
But such people work for themselves and are used by themselves, and I like them very much.
"Mr. Liang, one more thing we need to pay attention to is to avoid TV dramas and scenes that discriminate against the mainland. This is unchangeable." Liu Jian reminded.
Liang Naipeng nodded to express his understanding. Although he never said it, Liang Naipeng also knew that Liu Jian must have unknown connections with high-level officials in the mainland, and the acquisition of ATV was probably for the purpose of gaining publicity.
However, after the acquisition was successful, Liu Jian did not do much except arranging manpower and transferring some humble people from the mainland. However, the daily news broadcast at 7 o'clock will continue to be broadcast without interruption.
It is estimated that this will also become an iconic column of ATV. If no accident occurs, this will be a reserved program and will never waver.
Liang Naipeng expressed his understanding of this, and Liu Jian specifically emphasized it, which attracted his attention. This was Liu Jian's only request, and he must treat it as an important task.
"Are we about to start preparations for our main movie?" Liu Jian asked.
Liang Naipeng nodded and said: "The script and actors are all ready-made. I have read the script. Although it is not outstanding, Charmaine Sheh is the first heroine. There are several other heroines who are in secret contact. Ouyang The leading actor Zhenhua is still worth looking forward to."
Liu Jian nodded and said nothing.
He didn't know much about this TV series, but his female classmates in college watched it all day long, so he would probably be pretty good at it.
Liu Jian didn't know that this golden branch of evil officially kicked off the palace fighting drama. More and more female dramas began to appear in China. For a long time, this kind of drama without male protagonists became the first choice of all TV stations. My favorite, after all, most of the people who stay at home and watch TV every day are housewives!
"The scripts and directors of Hong Kong TV series are good, and the audience likes to watch them. However, the scenes are too small, and there are only a few locations, which is really boring to watch. In this way, we have our own base in Hengdian Film and Television City. The filming can be When we go there, try to make the scene as grand and grand as possible. I will let Jian Heng Films help with props, costumes and other things! It must be shot in a grand and shocking way. I think the Hong Kong audience will also like such a big scene." Liu Jiandao.
Liang Naipeng's eyes lit up. This is a way. With Jianheng Films easing the relationship, ATV TV series in the future can be filmed in China. The scenery, costumes and props will all be greatly changed, which will bring an impact to the Hong Kong audience.
Liang Naipeng thought deeply, there is nothing to be seen in costume dramas, but urban dramas will give Hong Kong people a new understanding of the Mainland. Does Liu Jian want to start from this step by step to change Hong Kong people's perception of the Mainland? Prejudice.
Liang Naipeng didn't say these words. He hid them deep in his heart. It was enough for him to know the boss's little thoughts. It wouldn't look good if he said it openly.
After talking about the business, Liu Jian's eyes had long been attracted by a beautiful woman in the scene.
Meng Jiahui, this tall beauty, firmly attracted Liu Jian's attention. Speaking of knowing Meng Jiahui in her previous life, she still watched Andy Lau's secret war. This beauty on the bus left a deep impression on Liu Jian, especially the one she wore around her neck. When she was riding the bus wearing that necklace worth tens of millions, Liu Jian really wanted to scold her.
After watching the movie, Liu Jian liked this beauty very much, but didn't know her name.
Only then did I know her name after specifically looking at the cast list of the movie!
Of course, Liu Jian wanted to get this kind of girl who was once the lover of his dreams. And the performance of Charmaine Sheh in the criminal investigation files also made Liu Jian very interested. Unexpectedly, they would become his company's employees today. Signed actors.
Liu Jian licked his tongue and wanted to make a move. After all, the other party had just jumped over, so he might have been too eager!
