While accompanying Jiang Yu, he also helped advise the entertainment company.

After watching Miss Qin Ju's hot dance, Su Yehao also brought in the company's executives to discuss how to create an outdoor reality show.

All the ideas were readily available. The executives only needed to implement what Su Yehao repeatedly instructed, such as tearing name tags and various pranks and challenges. There was no difficulty in achieving this.

Before long, even the backup permanent hosts were chosen.

The candidates recommended by the executives included Zhang Weijian, who starred in the 1996 version of TVB's "Journey to the West," Xu Jiangjing, who played Leopard Head and Aobai, and Chen Baixiang, a supporting actor favored by Su Yehao, to partner with two signed artists from Tianyu Entertainment. The permanent cast was tentatively set at five to six people.

In addition, two or three guest stars would be invited for each episode. Hong Kong was not short of actors. If this show could really be created, it was believed that with Su Yehao's influence, even inviting Heavenly Kings and Goddesses to support it would not be a problem.

After discussing a specific framework.

At that moment, the company's creative director raised his hand in the meeting room and asked Su Yehao:

"It shouldn't be too difficult to shoot such a variety show, but after the show is made, which TV station will it be broadcast on?"

"I roughly estimated that if the expenses for hiring hosts and guests are not high, working one day a week, giving about one hundred thousand in total, including venues, photography, editing, etc., the total production cost is two to three hundred thousand. We often have to shoot in other places, which requires selling each episode at a higher price."

"Fifty-two weeks a year, it's also very expensive in total. I'm afraid it's not cost-effective for the TV station..."

Su Yehao was stunned.

He only thought about killing time and didn't consider where to broadcast it or how to generate income.

Hong Kong has a total of six to seven million people, and the market size is too small, which leads to having to find ways to lower costs.

Some movies have investments of only a few million, with a total production cycle of only about half a month. The cost of TV dramas is not very high. For example, the Zhang Weijian version of "Journey to the West" just mentioned has a total investment of about 10 million Hong Kong dollars, which is already considered a rare big production.

The limitation of market size does affect the scale of Hong Kong's entertainment industry.

Regarding this point, Su Yehao thought of South Korea in the future.

They are also limited by the small local market, so they have to expand wildly to the outside world, otherwise it would be strange to become something based on the small amount of money brought by the local market alone.

The reason why Hollywood stars can get tens of millions of dollars in remuneration is because the United States itself has the world's largest movie-watching market, and it also regards the global market as a back garden, forming a virtuous circle.

After thinking for a while, Su Yehao knocked on the table and said:

"Pay attention during production, and maybe some TV stations will be willing to try selling the dubbed versions to the mainland, Baodao, Japan, South Korea, and Southeast Asia. As for Hong Kong, after shooting a sample, contact TVB, or... actually, I have thought about directly acquiring a TV station."

"..."

"..."

The last sentence about acquiring a TV station stunned everyone present.

What is wealth and power? What is simple and direct? Just mentioning that it may be difficult to sell variety shows to TV stations at high prices, Su Yehao actually set his sights directly on the TV station itself.

Jiang Yu was deeply surprised and hurriedly said:

"Do you have to be so exaggerated? Our company hasn't made any achievements yet, and you're already thinking about acquiring a TV station? You can't get fat in one bite. I heard that the TV station's losses have been very serious recently."

Among the people in the meeting room, only Jiang Yu dared to speak to Su Yehao in this tone.

The creative director, after organizing his words, said:

"TVB's current situation is a bit difficult. The 'Huanzhugege' (Princess Pearl) they invested in is very popular, but the TV series produced by their company continue to lose money, so this time they plan to invest 150 million to shoot a blockbuster called 'Genesis'. If it fails, the stock price will definitely plummet, but TVB is TVB after all. The total market value seems to be more than 20 billion Hong Kong dollars."

Next to him.

A former executive of ATV TV station said:

"It is worth more than 20 billion Hong Kong dollars, but now young people like game consoles and computers, and profits are declining. As far as I know, TVB is planning to sell some of the copyright inventory of old movies and old TV series, probably because they are worried that this year's performance will be too bad."

"Also, Young Master Su, if you want to buy a TV station, I would recommend ATV. Their news programs are very good, but their own production is slightly worse, which happens to complement our company. Recently, they bought a lot of TV series broadcast rights from Japan and Baodao. The drama 'Huanzhugege' made them a lot of money in the beginning, so now they have tasted the sweetness and only buy but don't shoot, forcing their own actors and directors to jump ship. That's why I ran away. In June last year, Long Wei and Lianwang Group joined forces to acquire 51% of ATV's shares with 700 million Hong Kong dollars. They are investors and businessmen. As long as you, young master, are willing to spend money, you will definitely be able to take it down..."

Everyone put their heads together, talking at once.

Some recommended ATV, and some recommended Hong Kong Satellite TV, which was acquired by News Corporation of the United States a few years ago. The current development situation is not very good. It mainly pushes international programs and covers the Asia-Pacific region through satellite signals.

With the strength of News Corporation, even if Su Yehao is willing to buy it, the other party may not be willing to sell it, and its situation is not suitable.

Looking around, it seems that only ATV meets the needs. The total market value is currently only 1.32 billion Hong Kong dollars, and even if the premium is a part, it is not much money.

At least compared with Su Yehao's other recent projects, it is at most a medium-sized project.

This led to Su Yehao starting to get a little excited after listening to people talk, and immediately asked people to conduct a comprehensive investigation of ATV TV station after the meeting ended.

He just transferred 3 billion Hong Kong dollars to his old man. Counting the repayment of more than 400 million U.S. dollars in bank loans, he now has more than 10 billion in cash on hand. In addition, there are more than 1 billion U.S. dollars in the financial account that have not been cashed out.

With such a large cash flow, it is really not a big problem to take out 1 to 2 billion Hong Kong dollars. Although the budget of the Qianxin City (Thousand-Core City) plan is high, the development cycle is as long as ten years, and the scale of burning money in the short term is limited.

Seeing Su Yehao's support for the development of Tianyu Entertainment, Jiang Yu felt a lot of pressure.

Back in the office, she sighed and said:

"It feels very strange. It's like I originally only wanted to buy a bicycle, but you're good. You keep fanning the flames next to me, and in the end, I plan to buy a tank."

"...It's not easy to explain to you, but just trust me. With our kind of family, why do we need a bicycle? Isn't it better to buy a tank directly?"

Su Yehao smiled and then explained:

"Moreover, from the perspective of expanding influence, having a TV station is probably not a loss. For example, the draft I am currently preparing, if I have a TV station in hand, whoever dares to object, I can scold him to death. This also involves my long-term development in the Internet field. Now, I accumulate more film and television copyright inventory, and in the future, I will have the opportunity to build an Asia-Pacific version of the film and television entertainment platform, which can not only resist cultural invasion, but also use the Internet's long-tail effect to continuously enjoy dividends through copyright inventory."

Jiang Yu's focus was immediately shifted. She stared and asked:

"What do you mean it's not easy to explain? Are you嫌 (xián - dislike/grudge) me for being stupid? What is the long-tail effect? I don't do Internet business, so it would be strange if I knew it, right? Obviously, when I was in high school, my grades were much higher than yours."
