Chapter 252 Only success can lead to success!
In the evening, Liu Zhicheng arrived at the Furama Hotel.
ATV held a celebratory dinner for the crew of The Legend of White Snake, and the boss of ATV was also invited.
Logically speaking, he would not attend a banquet of this level, but he has recently become a fan of the Legend of the New White Snake, so he agreed to attend.
To be honest, the new Legend of White Snake filmed by ATV is slightly different from what Liu Zhicheng remembers.
But after all, it has been tested by the market, so it is still very successful.
The same may be true for the aforementioned Justice Bao, but he is still very popular among Chinese people, and there are many TV stations in Southeast Asia that have purchased the copyright.
Arriving at the dinner, Liu Zhicheng immediately became the focus of everyone, and several leading actors came forward to toast him.
"Mr. Liu, I heard that this script was chosen by you, is that true?" Maggie Chen asked curiously.
"These are the four great love folk stories of us Chinese. I just proposed filming them." Liu Zhicheng said modestly.
"That's pretty impressive. With ATV in your hands, there will be many good shows!" Maggie Cheung complimented.
Liu Zhicheng was humble for a moment!
At this time, Zhao Yazhi interrupted and said, "Mr. Liu, I want to say sorry to you!"
Liu Zhicheng looked at Zhao Yazhi and asked in confusion: "Why do you say that, Miss Zhao? Shouldn't it be that thanks to your joining us, ATV can better film the Legend of the White Snake!"
Zhao Yazhi's eyes were somewhat hot, and then he said, "No way! I almost turned down such a good script at first, but I heard from Director Zhao that it was you who insisted on me starring in it. So, I really appreciate your appreciation!"
Liu Zhicheng suddenly realized that although Zhao Yazhi's previous TV series such as The Bund were also very popular, this one undoubtedly made her more famous.
Moreover, the New Legend of White Snake had better ratings, and it is also a very famous story among Chinese people.
The important thing is that Zhao Yazhi’s net worth has skyrocketed at this time!
However, in Liu Zhicheng's opinion, it doesn't matter if the price has skyrocketed. The most expensive is only 400 million Hong Kong dollars, and it takes at least 3 months to shoot a TV series.
Liu Zhicheng immediately said: "Then you have to give us your schedule at ATV in the future. I heard that you are very popular in Taiwan. It seems that there are many people competing for you!
However, our satellite TV will be launched soon, and this channel will further enhance your influence.”
With the influence of the Legend of the New White Snake, Zhao Yazhi will get good ratings in the future as long as she shoots costume love dramas, such as Qin Shi Huang and Afang Girl, Love in Troubled Times, etc.
Therefore, Liu Zhicheng immediately decided to win over Zhao Yazhi, at all costs...
Zhao Yazhi said happily: "Okay, as long as it is a script chosen by Mr. Liu, I will definitely agree!"
For the filming of The Legend of White Snake, she received a salary of 260 million Hong Kong dollars, which is almost on the same level as Adam Cheng.
Because of this, she also witnessed ATV's generosity.
What's more, she has a good impression of the boss of ATV!
In Hong Kong, there are two wealthy men who are known as 'the most capable of winning women's hearts', and can be described as romantic lovers of both the old and young generations.
Needless to say, the old romantic is the elegant Mr. He!
However, the new generation is replacing the old generation, and Liu Zhicheng has long replaced He Sheng's position among Hong Kong women.
From a woman's perspective, Liu Zhicheng possesses everything a charming man should have.
In terms of appearance, Liu Zhicheng is tall and handsome, with a straight nose and a pair of deep black and white eyes. He is a standard handsome man.
Liu Zhicheng is very particular about his clothes. It’s not necessarily because the materials are of high quality or the workmanship is exquisite, but because the clothes look decent and tasteful on him.
Liu Zhicheng's speech and behavior are friendly and amiable, and he is a gentleman who integrates the trend of the times. If you look carefully, you can also see Liu Zhicheng's imperial demeanor and aristocratic temperament!
He is also good at singing and dancing. He can sing Mandarin, Cantonese, English, Japanese, and French songs. He can sing elegant and lyrical classical songs as well as popular songs with intense rhythms.
In a celebrity charity competition, he won the championship with his singing voice. As for dancing, Liu Zhicheng was even more popular, and many ladies were proud to dance with him.
The above are all how Liu Zhicheng feels good about himself!
In fact, maybe he is 'rich and wealthy'!
However, at the dinner party for "The Legend of the New White Snake", he was so popular that he was invited by Maggie Cheung, Cecilia Yip and Cecilia Cheung in turn to dance with him, which drew cheers from the whole banquet hall.
Although Liu Zhicheng was very popular, the most surprising thing that night was that Zhao Yazhi took the initiative to leave him her phone number.
It seems to confirm what Wu Junru said in her previous life!
Of course, considering Liu Daheng's reputation, he would never consider having an affair with a married woman.
Therefore, Prime Minister Cao could not do it.
…………
A few days later, Asia Satellite TV officially started broadcasting.
Prior to this, they had already done a lot of advertising in Asia, hoping to make Asia Satellite TV famous in Asia.
Asia Satellite TV is an important part of Liu Zhicheng's efforts to popularize and develop Hong Kong.
So apart from broadcasting ATV's dramas and movies, 90% of the other self-produced programs of this station are entertainment programs, with news accounting for only a small proportion.
When Liu Zhicheng arrived at the Asia Satellite TV headquarters, it was very busy and Susan Chow was in charge in person.
"Boss!" Everyone greeted him.
Liu Zhicheng nodded and asked Zhou Liang Shuyi: "How is the situation?"
Of course, the question is not how many households are watching it, but how the broadcasting situation is!
Zhou Liangsuyi said: "Well, everything is normal. We are all old employees of ATV, so everything is going very smoothly!"
Just last November, Li Chaoren’s satellite TV license was also approved, but with restrictions that it cannot broadcast Cantonese channels and cannot charge fees.
Of course, Asia TV also chooses not to charge. There is no need to charge. Assuming that it has 100 million viewers, it is enough to make a profit.
In fact, the audience is far from this number, because Hong Kong's entertainment is very popular in Asia at this time, and may reach more than 500 million households.
Not only that, in order to cooperate with the Asian Satellite TV broadcast, the global auditions of "The Voice of China" will be held soon this year.
ATV has set up multiple stations in Singapore, Malaysia, Thailand, RB and other countries, and also promotes Asia Satellite TV.
Next summer, Liu Zhicheng has also prepared a big move to produce a large-scale talent show for Chinese idols.
I believe that in the future, any global talent show, as long as a country has copyright awareness, will have to buy the copyright from ATV.
In fact, most countries do not engage in piracy. After all, the mainland has been so poor in recent years that they all choose to purchase copyrights for broadcasting.
This is a question of national credibility!
Liu Zhicheng feels that he can plan dozens of programs!
Liu Zhicheng said with satisfaction: "When Asia Satellite TV stabilizes, we will hold a celebration party and you can arrange it!"
Zhou Liang Shuyi said: "Okay!"
In recent times, Liu Zhicheng has also been wondering what "Hong Kong Wave" is?
This should be a very comprehensive field!
How to drive the "Hong Kong flow"?
TV series, movies, variety shows, idol groups, these are the big aspects;
Clothing and makeup are small aspects. How did the Korean Wave rise in the past?
Around 98, they launched the HOT group and promoted it in places like the mainland and RB;
Around 2000, they released Love in My Heart, which caused a sensation in Hong Kong with its melodramatic love story and tortuous plot.
Around 2003, they launched Da Changjiu, the story of an ancient woman with a modern female spirit, which became popular in Asia.
All you have to do is be a plagiarist. Once you copy these things out, TVB will follow suit and soon establish the Hong Kong trend.
In fact, there is no genre, it is just a city with a developed entertainment industry.
From then on, Asian television stations were busy selling copyrights, and Hong Kong stars performed and participated in activities all over Asia. This was the ultimate goal of Hong Kong's development and earning foreign exchange.
Moreover, Liu Zhicheng's efforts alone are not needed. He only needs to take the lead and people in the Hong Kong circle will follow suit.
For example, after Liu Zhicheng produced the fashion drama Great Era, ATV continued to focus on fashion dramas and filmed several dramas such as Jewelry Family, Clothing Family, Real Estate Family, etc., all of which achieved very good results.
To be honest, Liu Zhicheng quite likes going to YG Entertainment. He now makes no secret of what style of boy group and girl group he wants.
He was already familiar with Korean Wave in his previous life, so many things were easy for him to do.
For such a wealthy man, isn't it shameful to be involved in such things?
Of course not. He is now conducting academic research on Hong Kong's development and revitalization. He is not trying to make small money. This is a big plan!
All Hong Kong citizens know that Liu Zhicheng is contributing to the Hong Kongization cause.
This is a big project that requires the participation of the entire Hong Kong entertainment industry in order to achieve greater success and long-term success.
…………
On the first working day of 1991, Liu Zhicheng first came to the Hongli Investment office.
Huang Zuxu came to Liu Zhicheng's office. He is now the head of Hongli Investment and an investment manager who manages a fund specializing in investing in Hong Kong stocks.
Liu Zhicheng asked: "How is the progress of buying blue chip stocks?"
As early as November last year, several funds of Hongli Investment were established and began to buy US stocks, British stocks and Hong Kong stocks.
The fund that Huang Zuxu is in charge of has a total of HK$45 billion in funds. In addition to HK$40 billion used to purchase blue-chip stocks, another HK$5 million is used as discretionary investment funds for investors.
The Hong Kong side also has 5 million yuan of funds, which was used to establish a real estate fund specializing in property investment.
As for the current situation, because of the existence of Liu Zhicheng, the funds of investment companies will basically choose to invest in financial products.
As for investing heavily in real industry, you have to wait until the invested assets double before considering it.
In other words, we can consider it again when the Hong Kong stock market can no longer accommodate the demand.
Huang Zuxu said seriously: "At present, we have purchased 35 billion Hong Kong dollars of blue-chip stocks, and we will soon be able to complete all the goals."
Liu Zhicheng nodded. Investing in blue-chip stocks made him feel at ease. They might not grow as fast as other stocks, but they had the advantage of rising steadily.
The two then discussed the investment details before ending the meeting.
Judging from Liu Zhicheng's arrangement, of the HK$50 billion of funds of the Xiangjiang Family Office, 45 billion was invested in projects he was familiar with, and only 5 million Hong Kong dollars was left for investment personnel to play freely.
The situation overseas is the same.
It can be seen that the main function of investment at present is not investment, but service.
In the morning, he arranged for Hongli Investment to start buying the April Hong Kong stock index futures contract. After the arrangements, he felt at ease.
Although futures contracts are also leveraged, Liu Zhicheng is more familiar with Hong Kong stocks and feels more confident.
And there is no risk, after all, many wealthy people are investing in this thing.
...............
On January 1, Xu Jinheng got married at the Grand Hyatt Hotel in Hong Kong.
As a friend of both parties, Liu Zhicheng had to attend. If it weren't for their starting point, they would have almost been together.
This was a luxurious wedding of the century. The hotel lobby, auditorium, reception venue, stairwells, etc. were all decorated.
The wedding was filled with flowers and green leaves. The flowers and green leaves used in the wedding were airlifted to Hong Kong from the Netherlands and France, and were cut and arranged by famous French artists. It is said that the expenditure in this aspect alone has reached 3 million Hong Kong dollars.
The Dior wedding dress that Ms. Ho wore was specially made in Paris by the famous designer Ferre and was worth HK$600,000.
The wedding is held over three days. The first day is for relatives of both parties, the second day is for business and political friends and partners of both families, and the third day is for friends of the newlyweds.
Liu Zhicheng and Yang Minli attended the wedding the next day. After all, it was still far inferior to Liu Zhicheng's wedding that year.
Just from the identity of the VIPs, it can be seen that neither the Hong Kong government nor the mainland sent anyone.
In recent years, there have been some unpleasant disputes between the two sides and the Hong Kong government over the issue of offshore gambling ships.
"Congratulations, may your marriage be long lasting and may you have a baby soon!" Liu Zhicheng said hypocritically as soon as he arrived at the scene.
He clearly knew that the newlyweds had been living in separate rooms within two years, but he still had to say something so against his conscience, which really made it difficult for him.
"Thank you, Mr. Liu and Mrs. Liu, for your blessings!" Xu Jinheng said politely.
He looks honest, but he is actually a playboy. Unlike Liu Zhicheng, he looks like a playboy and he is actually a playboy.
This marriage is a business joint venture. In Miss He's opinion, as long as the man is not bad, it is acceptable.
Liu Zhicheng spoke to Miss He alone for a few words, which made her laugh heartily. No one knew what they talked about.
Xu Daheng, who was standing aside, also looked confused. Why had he never seen her so happy with him before?
The He Sheng and his wife, and the Xu Shixun and his wife, also greeted Liu Zhicheng and his wife, treating everyone on the same level and not daring to disrespect Liu Zhicheng and his wife at all, treating them as their juniors.
After a while, people came to greet Liu Zhicheng one after another, and he seemed to be busier than anyone else.
Originally, he came to attend someone else's wedding, but it turned into a business social event. Liu Zhicheng could only shake his head and express his helplessness. Who told him to be so popular?
His current status means he can no longer be viewed simply as a businessman.
When he proposed the strategy of developing Hong Kong through Hong Kong-based economy, he had already become one of the top businessmen in Hong Kong, and other Hong Kong businessmen were slightly inferior to him.
Therefore, Liu Zhicheng is now not only the banner of Hong Kong Chinese business, but also the banner of Hong Kong culture!
Only success can last forever!
Come on!
