That night, the night was very dark.
But in Fang Yihua's high-end apartment in Central, the bedroom is filled with the lazy atmosphere after passion.
In fact, it is very rare. Although the two got married secretly and obtained a marriage certificate in the United States, almost no one in Hong Kong Island knew about this news.
The two did not live together. When they worked during the day, they were simply in a superior-subordinate relationship. Fang Yihua was Run Run Shaw's right-hand man in controlling TVB.
Run Run Shaw would only spend the night in Mona Fong's luxury apartment one or two nights a month.
At this time, Run Run Shaw was leaning against the head of the bed, with the slight coolness of Fang Yihua's skin still lingering on his fingertips.
However, Fang Yihua had no desire to sleep afterwards. Not only was it very short, but she didn't even have time to get into the mood before everything was over.
Moreover, due to several major moves made by Asia Television today, the ratings after the revision will probably see a significant increase.
So she turned over, sighed, and said softly:
"Run Run... I still feel uneasy. Asia Television is making a big move this time. I haven't seen the entire daytime Japanese drama, but the momentum... is incredible.
And there’s that Pokémon show tonight… Even though it’s just an animation for kids, the ratings are so popular, it’s unbelievable!
The Filipino maid downstairs is discussing Pikachu and Charmander with her children! TVB has been around for decades, and which animation has ever had this kind of noise?
This is not a good sign. I feel like... our foundation is weakening and our territory is being eroded."
Fang Yihua knew that Run Run Shaw didn't like her talking about work matters, especially troublesome things, during such an intimate time.
But the performance of Asia Television today really made her unable to sleep or eat.
However, Run Run Shaw did not take it too seriously.
He simply patted the back of her hand, smiled calmly, and said confidently, "Mona, you're too nervous. The audience is just looking for something new. Once the novelty wears off, they'll know what the real good stuff is.
What do we have at TVB? Hong Kong's top stars! The best directors! The best screenwriters! We even have the Shaw Brothers Studios, ready to start filming anytime!
The script is there, the actors are there, and the drama produced is a high-quality drama that truly reflects the life in Hong Kong Island and the emotions of Hong Kong people!
What does Asia Television rely on? Buying a few Japanese TV dramas? An animated cartoon to please children? They think they can shake the foundation of TVB? What a joke!
Did you see clearly? Did Asia Television air a single commercial all day yesterday? Not a single one! What does this mean?
This means they can't get any advertising! The market doesn't accept their new ideas at all! Do they dare to put that 10 million yuan milk company ad after these programs? No! Why? Because they themselves are unsure! They're afraid of ruining their reputation!
Run Run Shaw's analysis was decisive, attempting to dispel the gloom lingering in Fang Yihua's heart. He said, "Audiences are divided into different levels. How much money do those children who watch animation have in their pockets? How much consumption can they stimulate? Who are the truly wealthy and spending power in Hong Kong Island? They are the bosses, managers, and professionals who watch prime-time commercial dramas!"
Our "Strong Man" had ads for last night's prime time slots: Rolex, HSBC, and high-end liquor from Hong Kong Land!
This is real money! This is where advertisers are willing to spend big bucks! The little bit of ratings that Asia Television has snatched away with Japanese dramas and cartoons is too inflated and too low in value! There's nothing to be afraid of."
His words were as firm as a rock, carrying unquestionable weight. He hugged Mona Fong tightly and said, "Trust me, Mona. TVB has built its empire over decades on real talent, not opportunism. A temporary buzz can't sustain a television station. Sleep peacefully."
For Run Run Shaw, having run TVB for so many years, he has experienced the challenge from Rediffusion Television, established his dominance in the television industry, and faced the challenge from ATV, taking on the storm and continuing to consolidate his leading position in the industry.
Therefore, he remained quite calm. Before coming to Fang Yihua, he also carefully studied Asia Television's moves today.
Just as he analyzed, if these are the only means that Asian Television has, even if the ratings pick up, it will only be a flash in the pan.
There is no need to worry at all!
Fang Yihua looked at Run Run Shaw's determined eyes and listened to his clear and logical analysis. Her tense nerves seemed to be convinced and her anxiety subsided slightly.
She leaned close to Run Run Shaw and closed her eyes tiredly.
Yes, Run Run Shaw has been in the business world for decades, what kind of storms has he not seen?
He is a television tycoon praised by everyone in Hong Kong Island. He defeated the British-owned Rediffusion Television. His model has cultivated almost 80% of Hong Kong Island's star artists, making him a true media and entertainment overlord.
His judgment should be correct.
Maybe, I really am worrying too much?
Amidst the steady breathing of Run Run Shaw, she fell into an uneasy sleep with a hint of doubt.
However, this brief peace was suddenly shattered by the shrill ringing of the phone in the early morning.
Ding-ling-ling—ding-ling-ling—!
The sharp ringing sounded wildly in the silent bedroom.
Fang Yihua suddenly woke up with her heart pounding.
It was just beginning to get light outside the window.
Who's here so early?
Don’t you know that Uncle Six is a light sleeper?
After all the hard work, I hope he can sleep peacefully and sleep a little longer!
