1979 The Life of Idle Fish

Chapter 574 China Television’s first general manager——Wei Zhaolin
On this kind of occasion, beautiful words must be said loudly.

As long as you win people's hearts together first, things will be much easier in the future.

If you want to win people's hearts, you can't be afraid of saying too many good things.

As long as there is enough ink in the belly, just spray it out as much as you want.

Anyway, in real-world games, how to play depends on those with big fists, and they have the final say.

They are both rule-makers and rule-breakers.

Hi!That's how reasonable it is.

Of course, some insurance measures still need to be taken.

For example, several big directors from the former ATV needed to be entertained separately. Luo Tao also communicated with them early and negotiated the terms of the subsequent cooperation.

Naturally, they will not choose to change jobs.

This condition is naturally several times better than the treatment given to them by ATV.

Otherwise, how could they submit obediently.

As for why Luo Tao valued them so much?

In fact, strictly speaking, Luo Tao cannot be considered a member of this circle now, but he is still a well-known "fancier" in this circle.

From Zhu Lin's first filming in 1980 to his direct participation in "Life" in 1983, he also learned some inside stories in this circle.

Combined with the actual situation, Luo Tao came to the conclusion that there is no shortage of good directors in China's entertainment industry today, let alone good actors.

But the problem China Television is facing now is to make a choice between directors and actors. Luo Tao may prefer the career of director.

Having already seen Huahua World, he knows very well that a good director is more rare than a good actor.

The abacus in his mind is to keep these well-known directors in Hong Kong as the pillars of China Television, so that China Television can continue to create brilliance.

If CTV is like a big tile-roofed house, and the director is the pillar, as for the foundation, it is naturally a revival, which can also be said to be capital.

Without money as a strong backing, it will never work.

As for the actors, they are bricks and mortar.

If there are no good actors, you can train them, borrow them, or retaliate and poach others.

But poaching directors from others in Hong Kong is more difficult than poaching actors.

As for the TV station directors and hosts, Luo Tao is not afraid of them leaving at all.

Xiangjiang is only that big, and there are only a few TV stations. Other stations are also like a carrot and a pit. How can there be such an idle position for them.

Unless they are very famous, otherwise...it's a pity that the hosts on ATV are not as famous as the hosts on TVB.

After a while, the meeting ended in a hurry.

In the following time, Luo Tao earnestly fulfilled his promise and gave them three days to carefully consider whether to leave or stay.

While waiting for their reply, Luo Tao and Luo Feng were not idle either.

Mid-Levels Villa - No. 8.

study.

"Lao Luo, when will Wei Zhaolin arrive in Hong Kong?"

Wei Zhaolin graduated from New York University's Tisk School of the Arts, one of the world's most prestigious art schools. He himself also worked at Columbia Pictures for many years.

Wei Zhaolin, who has been engaged in the film and television industry for many years, was also a native of Xiangjiang.

Although he has now joined the mold, this will not affect the overall situation, and on the contrary, it will be an invisible boost.

In the future, China Television will need his unlucky identity to help China Television step onto the world stage.

After weighing the pros and cons, Luo Tao decided to return to Hong Kong to serve as China Television's first general manager.

This time ATV reshuffled the cards, and Luo Tao deliberately shuffled Luo Feng out.

The reason for clearing it is also very simple.

His reputation as a romantic is well known in Xiangjiang. When he was concurrently the general manager of ATV, Luo Tao could let him get the most out of the situation first.

Because at that time, there was still a Qiu family in ATV.

Apart from picking up a pretty girl, he can't do anything out of the ordinary.

But now is the era of China Television, and it is the property of several companies. Luo Tao cannot keep such a famous "love saint" in China Television.

Of course, Luo Tao would not use this reason to eliminate him from China Television.

It can't be groundless.

In fact, it is too simple to find a reason not to let him manage CTS.

Just use the excuse that he doesn't have the talent in this area.

Based on this alone, he can't even recognize it.

In order to find a suitable manager for China Television, it took a lot of effort and painstaking efforts to find Wei Zhaolin from the newly acquired Columbia Film and Television Company.

He, who had been drinking tea all this time, shook his head, put down the tea set in his hand, and replied hurriedly.

"Oh, the boss is like this. He is handing over work to Edward recently." He may have sensed Luo Tao's impatience.

Then he asked: "How about I ask someone to urge you?"

Luo Tao thought for a while, waved his hand and said: "Forget it, let him handle the things over there with peace of mind!"

After explaining about Wei Zhaolin, Luo Tao asked Edward again...

After Columbia Pictures was acquired by Renaissance, the first step was naturally to reshuffle the company.

This shuffling is not random. Every personnel arrangement must take into account the cause and effect relationship.

After many rounds of screening, Fuxing selected Wei Zhaolin, who was once a native of Xiangjiang.

However, in order to contain him and appease the white people's emotions, Fuxing carefully chose Edward, an out-and-out moldy, as Wei Zhaolin's deputy.

I thought that this was the end of the matter, but no one thought that Yuandong would cause such a big disaster.

This can be regarded as giving away the other half of ATV's shares to Fuxing.

The opportunity is rare, and then...

After careful consideration at this time, Luo Tao decided to let Wei Zhaolin return to Hong Kong to take charge of the work of China Television, and the affairs of Columbia Pictures were handed over to his deputy Edward.

Of course, if he is asked to return to Hong Kong to manage China Television, the position can only be higher than before, not lower than before.

This problem was not a problem in front of Luo Tao, so Luo Tao upgraded Huashi to the parent company, and Columbia Film and Television Company became a subsidiary company, and the two entertainment companies have since then had a superior-subordinate relationship.

The scope of his authority was astounding to him.

As for the most important financial power, it must be firmly in the hands of the Renaissance Finance Department.

..............................................................................

One day later, Wei Zhaolin returned to his hometown with his family.

Luo Feng and Lin Shanxiang went to the airport to greet Luo Tao on behalf of Luo Tao and arranged a reception banquet.

But Luo Tao never showed up from beginning to end.

This is really not Luo Tao's showing off, it's really because people can really do whatever they want when they reach a certain level.

From now on, no matter how powerful China Television is, it will still be a subsidiary of Fuxing.

No matter how powerful you are, you can't break the palm of Tathagata Buddha's hand.

In the morning of the next day, Wei Zhaolin, who had not rested all day, followed Luo Feng to the mountainside villa without stopping to report to Luo Tao.

"Sit down quickly." Luo Tao first warmly invited them to sit down, then turned around and told Ai Li to pour a few cups of hand-ground coffee in the morning.

When Wei Zhaolin first met Luo Tao, he was astonished and shocked by his otherworldly temperament.

Although I already knew that my boss was a very young and strange man.

But when I saw it today, I was still shocked.

This is what is called hearing a hundred times is better than seeing it once!Don't know what's wrong?He also suddenly became inexplicably nervous.

During Luo Tao's instructions to Ai Li, Wei Zhaolin secretly observed Luo Tao more than a dozen times during this short and negligible period of time.

"I wonder how you slept last night?"

Luo Tao asked Wei Zhaolin softly and concernedly in his unique native dialect.

This was the first time he heard this unique dialect, and he did not feel that the distance between the two people was getting farther. On the contrary, he felt that they were getting closer and closer.

"Very good, thank you boss for your concern."

He doesn't talk much.

And try to answer as accurately as possible.

Of course, he was also afraid that if he said too much, he would make mistakes and offend the big boss.

He didn't want to spend many years of hard work and finally climb up, and he didn't want to become the laughing stock of thousands of people just because he said something that was not to the leader's appetite.

"Oh." Luo Tao could see his nervousness.

At this time, Ellie also came over with coffee.

"Thank you!"

"Thank you!"

Luo Tao waved his hand and she went to the kitchen carrying the empty tray.

"Try it quickly, this is a Grabica from the country of Siba."

High-end ingredients often need to be paired with the temperament of a wealthy person. Only in this way can they complement each other.

After drinking a cup of coffee, without a second cup, the two of them left Residence No. 8, Banshan Villa together.

From now on, Luo Tao will sit firmly on Diaoyutai to test Wei Zhaolin on how he manages such a huge film and television company.

"Is the person who came with Lao Luo just now the general manager of China Television in the future?"

Zhu Lin didn't know when she appeared. Her voice was very soft, but she still startled Luo Tao.

"Yes,...he is a talented student who graduated from the world-renowned Tisk Academy of the Arts. After graduation, he participated in many Hollywood productions. This is a talent that we managed to find in Fuxing."

Luo Tao didn't know what was wrong with Wei Zhaolin's academic qualifications, and couldn't help but laugh when he thought about it.

I couldn't help but want to share this with others.

"What Tisk Art Institute? Which country is it?"

Luo Tao was confused.

Why, you're an acting student and you don't know about Tisker Academy of the Arts? This is very unscientific.

It seems that I don’t know much about this art school.

I just heard that this is a very good school.

I don’t know much about anything else.

Luo Tao looked at her blankly, "Why are you looking at me like that? If you don't know, you just don't know."

"Oh." Luo Tao came back to his senses.

Thinking about it, my daughter-in-law has become a monk halfway through her acting career. In addition, due to the current information congestion, foreigners do not understand China (probably because they have never wanted to understand China well).

We really want to know about them, but they are not that generous and always like to hide them. We only know a little bit about them.

Not to mention that people of this generation don’t know about the Tisker Academy of Art, even in later generations, not many people may know about it.

In the hearts of Chinese people, Tisker Academy of the Arts is the best. It is not as good as the troika of domestic film and television circles, and the talents it cultivates make money quickly.

green cloth.

Cutout.

1234567.

Yibing, Yishuang, Yiwei and Dingdong have arrived.

"Mojiang's, I heard it's pretty good, maybe a little higher than Beiying."

"Really?" Zhu Lin still showed an expression of disbelief.

"possible……"

Luo Tao didn't dare to argue with her on this issue, so he could only deal with it vaguely.

……

"Oh, it seems that everyone still believes that our revival can do a good job in China Television." After hearing Wei Zhaolin's report.

Three days have quietly arrived, and everyone has made a decision happily.

The result was within Luo Tao's expectation. Almost no one left, but chose to stay and sign a new contract with China Television.

"Yes, everyone is full of confidence and enthusiasm... All this is due to you, boss... With you here, everyone seems to have a needle to stabilize the sea."

Being praised so much by Wei Zhaolin, Luo Tao still felt warm in his heart.

I glanced at him inadvertently. This guy is really interesting. I'm afraid he has such great learning ability. It didn't take long for him to master an excellent language art after returning to Hong Kong.

Luo Tao modestly said, "It's all the big guys looking up to me, I didn't do anything."

"Since everyone has chosen China Television, we will send you the new contract drawn up by the company."

Wei Zhaolin hesitated on this question.

"What's wrong?" Luo Tao asked.

Wei Zhaolin carefully replied: "Boss, does the new contract need to be modified?"

When he asked him this question, Luo Tao was really taken aback, thinking: "What the hell, the new contract I made is so cowardly in front of experts today." 】

"What, what's wrong with the contract?"

He knew that the new contract was drawn up by the boss himself, but he didn't dare to talk about the problem.

“There’s no problem.

It's just that the salary of actors is a bit too high. Compared with the salaries of other companies in Hong Kong, China Television is 15.00% higher than them. "

Hearing what he said, Luo Tao felt relieved and said very naturally: "Oh, so that's what happened!
I decided on this matter after careful consideration and there is no need to change it.

Click here if you have no other questions. "

Luo Tao's words already contain the meaning of beating. The things I decide are all decided after careful consideration, not decided by just thinking.

He is also very polite, implying that if he has nothing else to do, he can go back to work at CTS and don't worry about me.

Wei Zhaolin is also a veteran in the workplace, and he immediately sensed danger signals in his words.

He is not confused, nor is he a straight man.

Knowing the power of it, he quickly put away the contract from the table, "Don't worry, boss, I will definitely..."

In this way, Wei Zhaolin walked out of No. 8 Courtyard of Mid-Levels Villa with his leather briefcase in hand.

After getting into the car provided by the company, I breathed a sigh of relief.

He thought to himself: "I walked on the edge of a cliff today... It seems that the general manager of China Television is not that easy to do."

He looked gloomy all the way.

I have been thinking about how to handle the relationship with my boss in the future.

This once-in-a-lifetime opportunity is often accompanied by great danger.
