Rebirth 1984: Starting from the development of Hanka

Chapter 165 Returning to the Mainland
Dong Tiancheng is a senior executive of the Hong Kong Xinhua News Agency. He is very dissatisfied with his immediate boss Xu.

As soon as he got home that day, he received a phone call that surprised him.

"Hi, hello, is this Mr. Dong Tiancheng?"

"Well, I'm Dong Tiancheng, who are you? Can I do anything for you?"

"I am Liu Yinyin, the secretary-general of Mr. Zhao Ye of Wujiang Group. Do you have time? My boss wants to meet with you."

"There's always time."

"How about meeting at the Peninsula Hotel tonight at 7 o'clock?"

"Ok, no problem."

"Well, that's it. Don't bother you, Mr. Dong, see you tonight."

"Goodbye."

Dong Tiancheng hung up the phone with a puzzled face, what did Zhao Ye ask him for?I am just a senior executive of Xinhua News Agency.

Wait, Zhao Ye has recently acquired ATV and "Oriental Daily", and contacted him at this time, could it be...

He wants to start a news agency? !

Dong Tiancheng couldn't help being surprised by his speculation.

But after thinking about it carefully, I think it is reasonable. The news agency not only releases all kinds of news, but also provides business intelligence and financial data, which will be of great help to Wujiang Group.

Dong Tiancheng knew that Zhao Ye's purpose must be to recruit himself to work for his news agency. Should he go or not?

If you want to make a difference in your official career, then don't go.

Dong Tiancheng has been in Hong Kong for many years. Affected by Hong Kong's business environment, he is not very optimistic about his official career. Instead, he is more willing to make a difference in business.

Today, the world's largest news agency, Reuters, was founded privately and later developed into an independent external agency, independent of any political, ethnic or religious influence. (However, this is just saying. Who will believe it?)

News agencies are also very profitable and can extend the reach of their owners.

Dong Tiancheng has been in this industry for many years, and he is very clear about the operation method of the news agency.

He couldn't help admiring Zhao Ye's foresight and strategic layout.

If Zhao Ye controls a news agency with a scale comparable to Reuters, the monsters in the country will not dare to touch him.

The news agency was his talisman.

And "Oriental Daily" and ATV are also talismans.

The Wujiang Group is already so rich, why did Zhao Ye bother to establish the Oriental Media Group?Perhaps, this is the main purpose of his establishment of the Oriental Media Group.

……

At 6:30 in the evening, Dong Tiancheng arrived at the Peninsula Hotel ahead of schedule.

Zhao Ye had already reserved a private room, and when Dong Tiancheng asked the receptionist, the receptionist called the hotel waiter to take him to the private room.

Dong Tiancheng waited in the private room for a while, then Zhao Ye arrived with a group of people.

When Dong Tiancheng saw Zhao Ye walk into the private room, he immediately got up, stepped forward to greet him, and introduced himself: "Mr. Zhao, hello, I am Dong Tiancheng, the deputy director of Hong Kong Xinhua News Agency!"

"Hello, Mr. Dong, you're welcome, please sit down." Zhao Ye reached out to shake his hand and said with a smile.

Dong Tiancheng nodded.

Several people sat down in the private room, and Zhao Ye said straight to the point: "Mr. Dong must be very clear about the purpose of my meeting with you. I don't know if you would like to take the post of chief executive of "Eastern News Agency" and take full charge of "Eastern News Agency". News Agency" in the global field of development! "

Zhao Ye's people have done a detailed investigation on Dong Tiancheng. He has worked in Xinhua News Agency for more than 20 years.

Dong Tiancheng didn't put on airs, he just nodded and said, "No problem, it's my honor to be the chief executive of "Eastern News Agency"! ! ! "

Zhao Ye was overjoyed when he heard the words, and welcomed Dong Tiancheng's joining.

Dong Tiancheng smiled and said: "Mr. Zhao, you will be my boss from now on, please take care of me."

Zhao Ye smiled and said, "Don't worry, I won't treat my employees badly."

Dong Tiancheng asked: "For the development of "Eastern News Agency", boss, do you have any plans? "

Zhao Ye nodded, and said: "I think so. The Eastern News Agency first establishes itself in Hong Kong, Southeast Asia, Japan, South Korea, Taiwan and the mainland, and makes the Asian region the basic platform of the "Oriental News Agency". branch. "

Dong Tiancheng didn't expect Zhao Ye to be so pragmatic, and couldn't help agreeing: "Boss, your arrangement like this is the best, step by step, it will help "Eastern News Agency" lay a solid foundation and become a leader in the news agency industry. "

If it expands blindly, there will be problems in many aspects such as talent and management. In the end, the news agency is only "big but not strong", and it is difficult to make profits. It can only rely on Zhao Ye's continuous investment.However, this situation is bound to be difficult to last.

In particular, the company is large, and if the management is not done well, many problems will arise, especially the phenomenon of high-level corruption, which is not uncommon.

……

The next morning, Dong Tiancheng returned to Xinhua News Agency and submitted his resignation report.

The leader above was very surprised and asked him why he resigned.

Dong Tiancheng did not hide anything, and said that he would serve as the chief president of the "Eastern News Agency" founded by Zhao Ye.

After hearing this, the leader was a little surprised. He couldn't stop Dong Tiancheng from pursuing a better future, so he approved his resignation.

Although Dong Tiancheng is the chief executive of the "Eastern News Agency", he is now a "polished commander".

Therefore, he thought that Xinhua News Agency still has many colleagues who are not ambitious but have strong professional ability, so he invited them to work at "Eastern News Agency".

Zhou Zhi worked conscientiously in the Xinhua News Agency for more than ten years, but because he was not good at pleasing the leaders, his promotion speed was much slower than that of his colleagues who joined Xinhua News Agency at the same time.

Today, Zhou Zhi's wife didn't give him a good face, and disliked his low income. Others' wives wear gold and silver, have money to buy cosmetics, and the house is complete with color TV, refrigerator, air conditioner, washing machine, sewing machine, etc.

My own home is very simple, only a second-hand color TV and an old sewing machine.

The reason why I bought a sewing machine was also to help others sew clothes and supplement their household expenses.

There is an old man to support, and there are 6 children to support.

The life of Zhou Zhi's family is very embarrassing.

Men have no money, and their waists cannot be straightened.

Every time Zhou Zhi was scolded by his wife, he could only lower his head and remain silent.

He didn't expect that the timing finally turned around.

At around 3 o'clock in the afternoon, he was working at his unit when he suddenly received a call from Dong Tiancheng.

"Zhou Zhi, hello, I'm Dong Tiancheng!"

"Oh, so it's Brother Dong!" Zhou Zhi said in surprise. Two years ago, Dong Tiancheng was transferred to the Hong Kong Xinhua News Agency as the vice president, and the two had lost contact very quickly.

"By the way, Brother Dong, what do you want from me?" Zhou Zhi asked.

"Well, there is indeed something, but it's a good thing!" Dong Tiancheng laughed, "Are you interested in coming to Hong Kong to work, but it's not the Xinhua News Agency, but the "Eastern News Agency". "

Zhou Zhi asked suspiciously, ""Eastern News Agency"?Brother Dong, I don’t think I’ve heard of this news agency! "

"It was just established, and the founder is Zhao Ye, the boss of Wujiang Group. Although the "Eastern News Agency" was just established, the news agency has strong financial resources and great potential for future development.Therefore, I strongly recommend you to join the "Eastern News Agency". For you, this is undoubtedly an opportunity to change your destiny! "

Zhou Zhi was very excited when he heard this, and he didn't hesitate to jump to Zhao Ye's company.

"Thank you Dong Ge for the recommendation, I am willing to join the "Eastern News Agency"! "

After hearing this, Dong Tiancheng smiled and said, "This is a very wise choice. On behalf of "Eastern News Agency", you are welcome to join! "

After Zhou Zhi was dealt with, Dong Tiancheng continued to contact other people.

The "Eastern News Agency" has just been established, so the more talents the better.

……

"Lao Li, I'm off work."

"Old Wang, you're back from grocery shopping."

"..."

Zhou Zhi walked home in a good mood, and took the initiative to say hello to the neighbors along the way.

When I got home, my wife was cooking.

Seeing this, Zhou Zhi raised his chest involuntarily. In the past, he was always scolded by his wife and lost face, but now he is going to rise up and become a real man once again.

"Wife, I'm back!"

"What the hell are you yelling, go and take out the garbage in the kitchen!"

Zhou Zhi pretended not to hear, excitedly said: "Honey, I have something important to say."

Before his wife could ask, Zhou Zhi continued, "I'm going to quit my job at Xinhua News Agency!"

When Zhou Zhi's wife heard this, she turned her head and glared at him, cursing, "Your brain is flooded. You don't want such a good job as a reporter for Xinhua News Agency! If you don't have this job, how will your family support you?"

Zhou Zhi puffed out his chest and said, "I'm going to work in Hong Kong. My old colleague invited me to join the "Eastern News Agency". The owner of this news agency is the well-known and richest man in China, Zhao Ye! "

Looking at his wife's surprised eyes, Zhou Zhi felt a sense of pride, and then continued: "When I join the "Eastern News Agency", I will definitely be promoted and raise my salary. In terms of salary, it will at least increase several times, or even more. At that time, I will have the money to buy more appliances for my family, and even bring you to live in Hong Kong! "

Zhou Zhi's wife didn't expect her husband's fortune to turn around all of a sudden, and she couldn't react.

The status of the family seems to have changed quietly.

……

A week later, with the efforts of Dong Tiancheng, the basic framework of the "Eastern News Agency" has been established, and the next step is to gradually improve it.

Oriental DreamWorks, Zhao Ye also had someone register it, and established a branch in Hong Kong.However, this branch is only an empty shelf for the time being.

Zhao Ye has studied Disney, which owns super IPs such as Marvel, Star Wars, Pirates of the Caribbean, Disney Princess series, and Avatar.

When movie fans watch Disney movies, they don't care who the director is at all, and they may not even care much about the actors of this movie, but care about this IP movie.

Zhao Ye likes this mode.

Therefore, if Hong Kong Oriental DreamWorks wants to make a movie, most of the movies will be made around IP.

Wujiang Group owns a lot of IP, which is enough for Oriental DreamWorks to film, such as "Dragon Quest", "Legend of Zelda", "Final Fantasy", "Street Fighter", "King of Fighters", "Tekken", "Samurai Soul" "etc……

There are many examples of games being successfully adapted into movies, and the most important thing is a good script.

As long as the story is written well, the director's level is good, and the actors' acting skills are online, then, it is basically guaranteed to shoot a blockbuster movie!
Hong Kong is a director-centered system, while the United States is a producer-centered system.

Zhao Ye, on the other hand, advocates the screenwriter-centered system even more. In the entire film and television production process, the screenwriter should be the dominant position.

……

"Mr. Wei, you are the general manager of Hong Kong Oriental DreamWorks, and you must implement the 'screenwriter-centered system' model!"

Zhao Ye said to Wei Jiahui.

Recently, when Selina Chow was in charge of ATV, she used her love card to poach TVB's Wei Jiahui.

Zhao Ye asked Wei Jiahui to be the general manager of Hong Kong Oriental DreamWorks.

Wei Jiahui is one of the famous screenwriters in Hong Kong. In the early 80s, Wei Jiahui entered the TVB screenwriting training class and joined the TV screenwriting team in the same year.In just a few years, he was promoted from director to creative director, and wrote many dramas such as "Senior Brother Xinzha", "Unforgiving", "Looking at the Present", "Big Times", "Racing Tycoon", etc. There was a boom in ratings.

And he is also good at managing the company. In 1996, Wei Jiahui and Du Qifeng jointly formed Galaxy Video, and wrote or produced "The Birth of a Prefix", "Dark Flowers", "Lonely Men and Widows", "Slimming Men and Women", "Zhong Wuyan" , "Big Guy", "Detective", "Revenge" and other Galaxy works.

Wei Jiahui undoubtedly acted as the heart of To Qifeng, arranging and planning everything behind the scenes.Without Wei Jiahui to manage the rear, "Galaxy" is destined to be incomplete.

A talent like Wei Jiahui happens to be the candidate for the post of general manager of Hong Kong Oriental DreamWorks.

Wei Jiahui was naturally extremely excited that he could get such an opportunity.

"Boss, don't worry, I will definitely do as you ordered!" Wei Jiahui nodded heavily and said.

Zhao Ye added: "The films of Oriental DreamWorks can be created by the screenwriters themselves, or they can be adapted from other works, not limited to novels, comics, cartoons, games, real events, etc... However, one of the main industries of Wujiang Group is Games, so it’s best to start with game adaptations, followed by animations and manga adaptations.”

Wei Jiahui knew what he meant, nodded and said: "Okay, boss, I understand what you mean!"

After all, movies are just to create super IP, and then make money through licensing of IP derivatives.

Anyone who knows Wujiang Group probably understands it.

The next day, Zhao Ye returned to the mainland.

Shanghai.

The old employees of Shanghai Animation Film Studio are actually somewhat opposed to the name change of the company. The brand of Meiying Studio has persisted for so many years, why is it changed now?
Due to the large number of people who opposed it, Zhao Ye had to carefully consider the matter of changing the company's name.

The name Oriental DreamWorks really sounds nice.

But the Meiying Factory is the childhood memory of countless people, and the old people of the Meiying Factory are also very attached to the name. This is the place they have worked hard for all their lives.

"Boss, why did Shanghai Animation Film Studio change its name? Can it not be changed?"

Wan Laiming, Yan Dingxian, Zhou Keqin, Chang Guangxi, Wu Yigong and other well-known directors, screenwriters, and art directors from Meiying Studio came to Zhao Ye one after another.

Zhao Ye smiled wryly. He never thought that changing his name would cause such a big reaction.

No, he hurried back to appease everyone.

"Okay, please rest assured, Shanghai Animation Film Studio is still called the original name! However, it is a wholly-owned subsidiary of Oriental DreamWorks."

Zhao Ye looked around and explained loudly to everyone, "In the future, Shanghai Animation Film Studio will continue to focus on animation production and comic production, while Oriental DreamWorks will shoot live-action films..."

At the end, Zhao Ye suddenly felt that something was missing. He thought for a while, and suddenly thought that the era of computer animation is coming. If Shanghai Animation Film Studio still relies on painters to paint on paper, it may be destroyed by the times. abandoned.

Should you buy Pixar? ? ?

Starting from scratch, the speed is relatively slow. If you buy Pixar, you can bring the technology of computer animation to Shanghai Animation Film Studio...

In addition, computer special effects are also very important.

The main reason why many super IPs under the Wujiang Group are difficult to make into movies is because the computer special effects are not good enough to achieve some shocking pictures.

Jobs may have sold Pixar, after all, Pixar is now a loser, and after Jobs was kicked out of Apple, he founded another computer company, which needs a lot of money for development...

The boss of Industrial Light & Magic, George Lucas, will most likely not sell the company, because the current George Lucas is very ambitious, unless he adds a lot of money.

Zhao Ye shook his head, thinking, why not start a computer special effects company by himself, called "Digital Light Magic"!
