1837【Taiwan Branch】

After lunch with the Wang family, Xia Tian immediately took a bus to the Tianxia Entertainment Branch located in the city.

As soon as he left by car, another car drove out of the Wang family villa. The driver was Wang Xianxian.

She followed Xia Tian's car carefully and followed her step by step.

"Mr. Xia, there is a car behind us." Wang Baoshen soon discovered Wang Xianxian's car and immediately reported to Xia Tian.

Xia Tian was stunned, turned around and saw Wang Xiaoxian.

It was not that he was sharp-eyed, but that Wang Xiaoxian's tracking level was too lame and too close to her. Xia Tian could clearly see her nervous expression.

"Mr. Xia, do you need to throw her away?" Wang Baoshen asked again.

"Don't, slow down the car and let her follow." Xia Tian quickly ordered.

Wang Xiaoxian has limited driving skills. In order to track, he drives too fast, and it is afraid that there will be danger. Besides, he really went to see Zhang Aijia this time instead of going to tryst, so he was not afraid of her going to check the post.

Wang Baoshen nodded, slowed down the car and led Wang Xian to the Tianxia Film Branch.

Xia Tian got off the car and took Wang Baoshen in.

Zhang Aijia had already received a call from Xia Tian and had already led people to wait downstairs. When she saw Xia Tian, ​​she immediately came forward and greeted with a smile, "Mr. Xia, long time no see."

"Miss Zhang, it's been a long time since I saw you, you're getting more and more beautiful." Xia Tian also praised with a smile, shook hands with her, and followed her upstairs.

Wang Xiaoxian parked the car across the road, stared at the opposite side with wide eyes, and saw the sign "Tianxia Entertainment Branch" hanging at the door, and saw that there were indeed Zhang Aijia and others in the hall, and he was relieved and drove away.

Wang Baoshen saw her actions one by one.

...

When he arrived at the conference room on the second floor, Zhang Aijia introduced the company's colleagues to Xia Tian one by one.

This is the first time that the Tianxia Entertainment Taiwan branch has been like a formal company in the past three years.

Before, I was a straw troupe, and there were basically no formal employees except Zhang Aijia.

Because at that time, the main business of the Taiwan branch was to invest in movies. Because there was no need to worry about losses or profits, investment was very free. Zhang Aijia thought that investing in movies would be the main ones, and naturally there would be no need for many employees.

Now, the main business of the Taiwan branch has shifted from investing in movies to producing TV series. In this way, it is hard to support Zhang Aijia alone, so it is necessary to expand its business.

Now the Taiwan branch of Tianxia Entertainment has multiple departments including artist department, screenwriter department, production department, film department, etc., with as many as 280 employees, which can be called a front-line film and television production company in Taiwan.

"Mr. Xia, we invested in six movies last year, among which "Love the Wind and Dust" directed by Hou Xiaoxian has attracted more attention and has a very good reputation." Zhang Aijia reported to Xia Tian.

Xia Tian nodded. He had read the report of the Taiwan branch before. He knew that it had established a total of ten movies, but only six were completed in filming, and the remaining four were not completed due to various reasons.

One of them was because the new director was weak in will. When he was halfway through filming, he was mentally broken and left the crew and wandered alone. He said that his inspiration had dried up and he wanted to find inspiration again. This reason made Xia Tian feel chilled.

Among the six films that were filmed, only two made profits at the box office, and the remaining four did not even make back the cost.

This is also the current situation of Taiwanese films. The market has been basically monopolized by Hong Kong films. Local films are too high and have almost no audience. Even those profitable movies, such as "The Fantasy Taoist", "The Red Pink Corps", etc., are mostly imitating Hong Kong films, and even the starring actors are Hong Kong stars.

With such a general environment, the Tianxia Entertainment Branch naturally cannot escape. Fortunately, although the box office is not good, the reputation is not bad, and it can be regarded as a loss.

"In the field of TV dramas, we invested in and produced six TV series last year, all of which achieved good ratings and successfully recovered their money. Now we are still producing two TV series, which have been ordered by the TV station before the filming was finished." Zhang Aijia said again.

Xia Tian nodded, and he also knew something about this situation.

The Taiwan branch produced six TV series last year, three of which were urban emotional dramas, two were Republic of China dramas, and one was martial arts drama.

I haven't watched the specific episodes in Xiatian and will not comment. However, these six TV series are relatively expensive. The most expensive one is adapted from the work of the same name by Zhuge Qingyun, a well-known martial arts novelist in Taiwan, and sold NT$20 million.

Now, the Taiwan branch has basically achieved a balance of income and expenditure. The funds obtained from filming dramas can roughly meet the needs of filming movies, and there is no need to throw money into it every year in summer.

"Miss Zhang, the ban order above has not been lifted yet?" Xia Tian asked again.

"Yes, I've asked someone to look for it many times, but there's still nothing I can do." Zhang Aijia shook his head and said, "Originally, there was a sign of looseness before, but later their attitude began to be tough again. It is said that Hong Kong has exerted some influence on them again.

Mr. Xia, have you already agreed with TVB and will not attack each other again? Why are you breaking up now?"

"This is a long story, so I won't say it anymore." Xia Tian waved his hand and had already gained a certain understanding of the incident.

Previously, in order to compete with him for the Taiwan market, Shaw Yifu did not hesitate to use secret tricks to make Taiwan’s “official” issue a ban order from ATV, which caused the situation that although ATV has produced many good dramas, it could not enter the Taiwan market.

Later, Li Jiacheng and other wealthy people bought TVB and did not dare to compete with ATV again, so they shook hands and made peace. In addition, at that time, Mr. Jiang, who was in Taiwan, died, so the ban order was loosened.

Afterwards, he turned against the rich people such as Li Jiacheng and restarted the competition. With the forces of many rich people such as Li Jiacheng, he was indeed able to put pressure on Taiwan. Because their investment in Taiwan is no less than 10 billion, they are the real God of Wealth. With Shen Bi's support, the Taiwanese authorities have to give him three points of thin air.

"Anyway, don't give up and keep working hard. One day, this ban order will be cancelled." Xia Tian said, "I will also help figure out a solution."

He wanted to use the relationship between the United States and exert some influence on Taiwan. Taiwan has always been the United States, making it difficult for the United States to go east and not to go west, and to catch dogs and not to chase chickens. He believed that they would not have the courage to refuse the god Bushi Zongzhuo.

After the ban was lifted, ATV's dramas could be sold to Taiwan, and Hong Kong and Taiwan could also produce TV series together. This will save money and facilitate talent exchange. If the mainland is added in the future, it will be even more amazing. If you can make a drama, you can sell it to three companies and make three shares of money. This transaction is really a deal.

Of course, if the two sides of the Taiwan Strait and the three regions are co-produced, then the tastes of the three regions must be comprehensively considered, and everyone should try to be satisfied and welcome.
