Chapter 133 Press Conference
The pace of the world before the 1980s was not very fast overall.
The information transmission speed in this era is still very slow. It will be even slower to further brew and ferment based on such a slow information transmission speed.
It took more than twenty days for the salary incident of film and television practitioners to be paid for the first report to the sensation of the incident and the impact of every practitioner.
At first, when I saw the report, some readers who were slow to react had no impression in their minds and were attracted by other news. Only a few keen readers accurately grasped the information of wireless, and Lidi signed fixed contracts for several former Jiashi hosts.
Among these people, there are very few who eat movies and TV.
Among these film and television practitioners, most of them are still unsuccessful little stars, small characters, and low-level staff who have grasped the news focus. They just angrily scolded others for their different lives. Then, in their tense work and running around for life, they put it behind.
According to post-test research, the first to make unfair calls were two half-popular artists, who belonged to TV stations of TVB and Li respectively.
After reading the newspaper, these two people were so angry that they grabbed the phone number and called all their colleagues who knew and knew the phone number. It was through their mouths that this news that was almost buried would be known to all the colleagues who were in contact with them within one day.
Then, these colleagues who knew the situation either came to newspapers to read them carefully and were seen by other colleagues; or they were also full of anger and cursed in the workplace, which attracted others to watch, and then spread more and more.
In the first week, the message was still in its spread period.
Although I knew about Wireless, Lidi signed a fixed contract for several former Jiashi hosts, and everyone was still shocked, envious and jealous.
Then, as more and more newspapers, media, and radio stations joined in the deep digging of this news, more details began to be exposed, and its influence began to gradually increase.
Many film and television practitioners who were so excited by the previous news that they were so angry that they were more focused on chasing various reports related to it, and the more they watched it, the more angry they became. When a newspaper and magazine reported in depth about the head host who had not disclosed his name on the wireless, he proposed to the TV station to sign the same contract but was rejected, it completely ignited the anger in everyone's hearts.
People are not worried about being weak, but about being inequality.
If the industry rules are like this, all film and television practitioners cannot get a fixed salary, and can only make one film and get one movie, and make one program and get one salary, and everyone can tolerate it. Although some people have many film appointments and often appear on the show, they are ruthless in getting the money, but they are so popular that they deserve it.
If you are not famous, you deserve to work hard. You work everywhere to make a living, and you have to save money to learn performances, practice singing in form, and try your best to curry favor with directors, screenwriters, and even drama staff in order to make a stand-in in the film and show, and try to make the audience familiar.
Even if we are tired every day and are extremely malnourished, everyone can only grit their teeth and endure it, hoping for the day when we will make a name for ourselves.
However, one day, the standards of this industry seem to collapse, and some people can easily make a lot of money beyond this rule.
So, with their persistent belief, they also collapsed.
They are confused. They don’t know if their persistence is useful. Why can someone be easily taken over, but they have to continue to struggle in the sea of suffering and persevere for a small expectation!
They can't find it!
They could not find a reason to continue to persevere, and the light that supported them to continue to endure was gone.
Unfair!
This world is unfair!
More and more people roared. The famous popular stars, hosts, and directors roared out. Those little stars, artists, and dead supporting roles also roared out with their sad tone.
They are not convinced!
Whoever sets this rule, they won’t accept it!
We are also human beings and actors. We must live and succeed! Although we are humble, we still have dignity and cannot be so indifferent or trampled by you!
Wireless and Li's side had already seen the news, but was paralyzed by the calm in the early stage, did not increase their alertness, and put out the fire in advance.
But I don’t know that the longer the anger is suppressed, the more violent the outbreak will be.
On October 21st, one month after Guan Fei officially took over ATV, his anger erupted in full swing. Almost all the artists in Hong Kong stood up and slammed the different treatment of Wireless and Lite through newspapers, media and radio stations.
The storm swept across the entire Hong Kong entertainment industry in an instant.
At this time, the senior executives of Wireless and Li suddenly realized and tried their best to put out the fire.
The more they put out the fire, the bigger the fire.
Because they cannot give a convincing answer: Why are the famous and not very high in the former Jiashi hosts, and not necessarily high in their level, and why can they enjoy a fixed salary contract?
The senior executives of Wireless and Li tried their best to explain, breaking the popularity, business level, and past achievements of these hosts back and forth, saying how important they are and how great it is to supplement certain parts of the TV station.
But the more you say, the less you cannot convince the public.
Finally, I don’t know if it was a mistake in my busy schedule. During the fire extinguishing, the reason why the former Jiashi hosts were given fixed salaries was blurted out by a senior executive: "Don’t bother with this report anymore! Some guys from the small TV stations, some of our stations are better than them! If the Hong Kong government had not spoken and forced the order to block ATV, who would have given them a high salary, we would have made great sacrifices!"
As soon as these words were spoken, the whole of Hong Kong was in an uproar.
This is not limited to the entertainment industry. All the left and right in Hong Kong jumped out, and the firepower was fully opened, using newspapers as the battlefield to launch a fierce offensive and defensive battle.
Overall, the left attacks and right defends, and helps the Hong Kong government to cleanse.
It is difficult to hold on to the point of opening. Journalists from all sides are like cats that smell fishy smell, showing their magical powers and specializing in various businesses. As a result, more information was disclosed, and the war of words in the newspapers became more and more intense. From the initial discussion of the matter, they began to develop to condolences to each other's female elders.
Ordinary citizens in Hong Kong also gradually tilted their sympathy for ATV from many fun after dinner. In their daily chats, they also complained in light of their discrimination and exploitation.
But no matter how public opinion changes, the voices of Wireless and Li's senior executives remain unchanged, and they firmly disagree to let several former JiaTV hosts who have become rats crossing the street return to ATV.
Fang Tai, who has a tough personality, even shouted "Even if they are frozen until they are frozen, they will not let them go." This is similar to an angry word.
Among the citizens, the number of people sympathizing with ATV is increasing. Many citizens announced that they would rather listen to radio and read newspapers than watch wireless and beautiful TV programs.
Even some citizens ran to the wireless building and burned the dummy until they were taken away by the police and put out the fire. But the rippling of blue smoke that had not yet been extinguished seemed to announce that there had been irreparable cracks between various social classes in Hong Kong.
Once the camp was established, ATV spoke out under the expectations of thousands of citizens.
For the first time, ATV general manager Lin Xiuliang announced in front of many media: Due to the malicious intentions of competitors and the huge liquidated damages, the former JiaTV hosts were forcibly obstructed from returning to the TV station. In order to avoid bringing greater negative impacts to the lives and work of several hosts, ATV will no longer seek to pursue several former hosts. In the end, I sincerely wish those hosts to make greater progress in their careers in their new jobs.
ATV's high posture won applause.
Many media newspapers and magazines have published articles on the front page, praising Mr. Lin for his tolerance and generosity and sincerely hope that ATV can get out of the predicament as soon as possible and resume broadcasting smoothly.
Even the fans of TVB, Lite, appreciate the human touch displayed by ATV.
A few days later, many citizens who care about ATV's future digested the statement made by Lin Xiuliang on behalf of ATV. While enjoying it, they were worried about how ATV could resume broadcasts. ATV sent an invitation letter to news media, newspapers, radio stations and TV stations across Hong Kong, announcing that they would hold a press conference in two days. They will broadcast this press conference to audiences across Hong Kong through live broadcasts, so that all citizens who care about ATV can understand the dynamic progress as soon as possible.
This is the hottest news at present, and it’s still live broadcast!
As long as the media that can draw personnel in Hong Kong will be dispatched, all of them will be dispatched. It is because of the host incident that TVB, which has a ripped off with ATV, will not miss this eye-catching big news, and also sent elite soldiers to attend the press conference.
At 1:00 noon on November 5, the ATV press conference officially began!
...
On the top floor of the ATV building, Henry and other British shareholders gathered in the office of the Supervisory Board, opened the curtains, looked coldly at the reporters who came to attend the press conference below with great enthusiasm, rushed to the ATV building from all directions, either smiling, frowning, happy, or serious, and hurriedly stepped into the building on the steps.
In the huge office, deserted.
Now they have become the object of hatred on the TV station. Everyone is afraid of it and no one wants to get close to them. The TV station also uses the excuse that irrelevant personnel are not allowed to enter and the former confidants who are swept out of the room. As a result, there are only a few of them in the office of hundreds of square meters, and they can't even find a person who serves tea and water.
No wonder they are not favored.
They want to fight Guan Fei, but the staff in the station do not have much tendency. However, they have done too much and want to completely destroy the opportunity for TV station to resume broadcasts. This is a waste of all ATV people's jobs! Although ordinary staff are acting submissive, they still have to bite people when they are too impatient, let alone people?
Even if you can't beat and scold them, at least you can't talk to them or contact them. You can stay away from them.
Therefore, it is obviously very likely that ATV will have major press conferences in the future. They can be watched from senior management and service staff, but they are not invited to attend. In the past, they were all the focus of media attention at major conferences related to GTV. Now they can only stay in the office, just like other popular friends, turn on the TV and learn about the press conference through the TV screen.
Shame, complete shame!
But no matter how angry you are, now is not the glorious days of their past. They are just small shareholders of ATV - small shareholders, stocks, and shareholders! They are the kind of small shareholders who are held in the palm of their hands by the major shareholders. If you want you to round, you have to round, and if you want you to flatten, you have to flatten, and you have to flatten, and there is no room for resistance!
No matter how great the shame is, they can only grit their teeth and swallow it together with blood.
Here, on this territory and within Guan Fei's sphere of influence, they are not allowed to sway!
"Hmph! Two and a half months have passed since the repayment operation period given by the court, and Guan Fei still cannot resume the broadcast. There are only three and a half months left. I see what else can Guan Fei be able to revive him! There are not many good days for him!" Locke said sourly, swaying the coffee in the cup.
All these damn servants ran away, causing him to grind and soak the coffee himself. He had to drink a cup of coffee by himself, so that he could drink the mellow coffee for more than ten minutes.
It's so damn!
"Forget it, who made him powerful now? Although we are an empire that never sets, we have not endured humiliation. Before we turn the situation around, we should endure it first!" Anderson's heavy body, peacefully and steadily, deeply trapped in the leather sofa, smoking a cigar comfortably and staring at the TV bored.
On the twenty-inch large color TV, it was adjusted to the ATV channel.
But there is still a snowflake on TV, and there is no signal.
British shareholders are not a solid piece of cake. Anderson is a pure operator. As long as he can make money, he can cooperate with the devil. Therefore, from the bottom of his heart, he is unwilling to fight Guan Fei. In addition to his heartfelt contempt for yellow skin, his attitude is also more peaceful than others. He hurts others and himself, so why bother?
But his arms cannot force his thighs, so other shareholders must do this. The Hong Kong government also spoke, but he couldn't help but not listen.
However, he still hopes that Guan Fei can create miracles in the electronics industry, so that ATV can regain its glory and make his wallet more puffy.
Just when I was bored, the screen flashed and a picture appeared.
On the picture, there is a colored and grayscale test picture for TV viewers to compare and adjust. Along with the test picture, there is a light music "To Alice".
Chapter completed!
