Chapter 663 Sincerity Overflowing

Initially, the suggestion for Nangong Tian and Jiang Yu to try developing within the entertainment industry stemmed from several considerations.

Firstly, compared to other industries, this one seemed more interesting.

Secondly, back in his previous life, Su Yehao didn't play many games during college, but he watched countless TV series and movies.

After starting work, the laborers would drink and play cards after getting off work and didn't really like hanging out with him, the supervisor. On construction sites, he relied on catching up on dramas to pass the time, often watching one or two movies a night based on ratings, and thirty or forty-episode TV series wouldn't last him a week.

Now.

These impressions from watching dramas can be used to generate revenue, and he can avoid many detours, increasing the chances of success.

For example, when introducing mainland TV series to Hong Kong, he could tell which ones were interesting just by looking at the name. Having experienced this era once already, he wouldn't make mistakes by choosing familiar ones to introduce.

As for the third reason, it seemed more idealistic.

Su Yehao wanted to give a helpful push, increasing the influence of domestic culture on the world stage. Similar to developing the semiconductor industry, which might be strenuous and unrewarding, this was an attempt to realize his self-worth.

Having amassed so much wealth, simply increasing it wasn't making him as happy anymore.

But if he could produce some blockbusters that would cause a viewing frenzy in Asia or even Europe and America, the sense of accomplishment would probably make him happier than earning a hundred million dollars.

Overall, finding something for the girls to do while also making some money and increasing cultural soft power was a win-win situation, proving he hadn't chosen the wrong industry.

At this moment.

His conversation with Fei Yanming, the president of ATV, was still ongoing.

Fei Yanming asked him:

"How did you find the *One Piece* anime, Mr. Su? Japan produces countless animated films every year, and it's not easy to pick out good programs. We tried broadcasting *Detective Conan* before, and it scared the children so much that they were afraid to sleep at night, and they almost sued our company."

The image of the black silhouette flashed through Su Yehao's mind. Hearing this, the corners of his mouth twitched, and he said:

"That *Conan* anime wasn't originally made for children, was it? It was just a coincidence. I searched online for recently released Japanese anime and found that *One Piece* had very high ratings. According to the production model of Japanese anime, as long as their company can make money, they should be able to reap the benefits for many years. Remember to put more effort into the dubbing and subtitling."

"I understand, young master."

Fei Yanming continued to talk about ATV's recent work, such as the upcoming broadcast of the Athens Olympics and the revision of news programs, etc.

More than ten minutes later, the people from Yue TV arrived as a group.

Su Yehao personally went downstairs to welcome them at the main entrance, and both sides were particularly enthusiastic.

The director of Yue TV knew very well that it might not matter if the TV station made a little less money, but offending Su Yehao, a popular figure, would definitely bring him trouble.

Therefore, as soon as he sat down in the meeting room, the other party took out a 40/60 split agreement.

That is, Yue TV would be responsible for the review, dubbing, and mainland distribution of the *Super Challenge* variety show, but 30% of the advertising revenue would go to Su Yehao's ATV and Tianyu Entertainment respectively.

When Su Yehao asked if this was appropriate.

The other party said frankly that moving the ready-made good variety show over was actually to Yue TV's advantage, and the words also conveyed a sense that "if you are not satisfied, we can discuss it further, and I will never haggle."

This made Fei Yanming, the current president of ATV, a little surprised.

After all, the channels for transmitting news these days were not as convenient and fast as in the future. He only knew that the Su family and his son were very influential in the mainland, but he didn't expect that even Yue TV, which had little to do with them, would be so polite to Su Yehao.

A 40/60 split agreement... it didn't seem like doing business at all, some would even believe that it was a gift.

In reality.

In the year 2000, Yue TV's ratings were only in the middle to lower range.

Even if this not-so-popular TV station took out the prime time on Friday, it could only compare with the weekend evening time slots of its peers.

Yue TV found the *Super Challenge* outdoor variety show very novel and felt that it might be an opportunity to attract more local Hong Kong companies and multinational corporations to place advertisements through Su Yehao's channels.

Previously, they had to produce their own programs and pay expenses, but now they could directly purchase the broadcasting rights of the *Super Challenge* variety show, the production cost could be almost negligible, and the amount of advertising revenue they could get would be equal to the gross profit.

Yue TV's sincerity was overflowing.

Of course, there was nothing to talk about, and they quickly reached an agreement.

At this time, Su Yehao sat at the conference table and said to Director Jia of Yue TV:

"Currently, the film and television production company is filming the TV series *Boys Over Flowers* and *Wind and Cloud*, one is a modern romance, and the other is a fantasy martial arts drama. There is also a game adaptation drama *Chinese Paladin* in preparation. Among them, *Boys Over Flowers* is about to be sent for review. I have hired several former employees of the State Administration of Radio, Film, and Television as consultants, so there should be no problems. When the time comes, I will send it to you for review first. If it is suitable, it will be broadcast on your TV station."

Fei Yanming's Mandarin level was average.

With a heavy accent, he helped to introduce:

"This drama can be regarded as a rare big production in Hong Kong. It borrowed our young master's luxury car and was filmed in his home and company. It is no exaggeration to say that everyone in Hong Kong is waiting for it. I asked my wife to come and watch the sample, and after watching it, she liked it very much. It has the potential to become a hit like the modern version of *My Fair Princess*."

After the policy was relaxed, funds had already begun to enter the mainland film and television industry.

With so many TV series being filmed and prepared on the market, Director Jia couldn't pay attention to all of them. Hearing this, he immediately perked up and asked:

"Oh? You haven't contacted other TV stations yet, right? We can sign a contract with you directly now!"

Filming in Su Yehao's number one mansion in Hong Kong could save tens of millions in advertising and traffic costs alone.

In addition, it was also a big production. Considering Su Yehao's ability, he didn't think it would be too bad.

Moreover.

Even if the ratings were really bad at that time, what could he do? Just getting on good terms with Su Yehao could earn Director Jia a lot of points with his superiors.

The news that someone blocked Su Yehao on the roadside in Luohu a few days ago and later received tens of billions of intended investment orders had quickly spread in the circle and was being talked about with relish.

When one's strength reached the level of the Su family, they could no longer be treated in the same way as ordinary businessmen.

For example, Su Yehao proposed moving ATV to the mainland. According to the news Director Jia heard, it seemed that someone had recently communicated with Pengcheng TV to study the feasibility of allowing ATV to be affiliated and landed by feeling the stones to cross the river.

Su Yehao smiled and said after hearing this, "There's no rush for now. Let's complete the documents and discuss it after watching this TV series."

"Haha, Mr. Su is confident! We'll listen to you. Remember to find us first when the time comes, and we will definitely give you the greatest sincerity!"

"Then thank you, Mr. Jia, in advance."

After the pleasantries, Su Yehao added:

"I saw news online saying that *Kangxi's Private Visits* is about to release a sequel. I don't know if you know the distributor. I want to buy it and broadcast it on ATV. The older generation in Hong Kong likes these kinds of costume dramas very much, and it can also increase the cultural identity of young people."

Hearing this.

Director Jia's heart skipped a beat.

He didn't know if Su Yehao was doing it intentionally, but he always felt like a pie was falling from the sky. He was now focusing on the cultural industry. If he could send more excellent programs to Hong Kong, his resume would definitely be very impressive.

Therefore, the director agreed without thinking, saying:

"Leave this to me. I will personally talk to their boss and help you get a suitable rebroadcast price..."
