Liu Rumeng added with a smile, "Yes, ATV is currently riding high. It's just... its foundation is still a bit weak. Apart from these two hit shows, most of its other time slots and programs are imported, and its self-produced content can't keep up."
The number and popularity of its artists are far behind those accumulated by TVB over many years. It's all thanks to a few key figures like Rongrong who are carrying the company.
Lin Huowang nodded; this was within his expectations.
He picked up a piece of food with his chopsticks, then said unhurriedly, "A hit show is the foundation of a station. With that foundation, the next step is to enrich the content library and the talent pool. Don't worry, I already have a plan."
Next, Asia Television will launch two brand-new talent shows to completely crush TVB and simultaneously revitalize our own talent pool!
"Draft?"
Keiko Kobayashi blinked curiously. She had only recently become Lin Huowang's woman, and her eyes were full of dependence and adoration.
"Yes. The first category is Miss Asia!"
TVB's Miss Hong Kong pageant just ended recently, and it's highly unlikely that they will launch a similar program again anytime soon.
This is our gap period! We need to broaden our horizons, not limiting ourselves to Hong Kong, but selecting beauties from across Southeast Asia and even the entire Asian Chinese community!
Increase prize money, upgrade stage standards, emphasize both intelligence and beauty, and create a more high-end and internationally influential beauty pageant! Seize this untapped market, establish the 'Miss Asia' brand, and make it another trump card for ATV!
"Targeting all of Asia?"
Lui Shui-yung's eyes lit up upon hearing this, "This is brilliant! TVB can't even keep up! And it suits our Asia Television perfectly, hehe! Our Asia Television's beauty pageant is, of course, Miss Asia, facing the entire Asian region, which means there will be more exotic beauties, and it will be a novelty for the citizens of Hong Kong Island..."
"The second show is 'Asia's Got Talent'! This show will have a very special format. We're breaking away from the traditional talent shows that focus on looks and dance, and will focus purely on 'voice'!"
The mentors turn their backs to the contestants and listen only to their voices, deciding whether to turn around and select a contestant based on the voice and singing ability.
Only after turning around did I see the contestant's true face. This way, truly talented voices, regardless of their appearance, have a chance to stand out!
We must discover the hidden singing talents among the people and create our own singers!
Lin Huowang then immediately launched his second variety show.
Perhaps, other TV planners would rack their brains to come up with a TV program with selling points, but for Lin Huowang, it was no problem at all. Lin Huowang could have just copied a few of the wildly popular variety shows in later years and put them in the present day, and they would have been absolutely dominant.
"Only hearing the voice? Is the player's back turned?"
Upon hearing this, Liu Rumeng was also carefully considering this novel approach, finding it increasingly ingenious. She exclaimed, "Awang, your idea... is brilliant! This really can uncover truly good voices, and it's also incredibly topical!"
Keiko Kobayashi's eyes sparkled; she felt that the man before her was omnipotent.
Qian Shuzhen, however, sat to the side, watching Lin Huowang exude powerful confidence and charm as he spoke eloquently, and then looking at the three women who were close to him beside him. The emotions that had been suppressed for a long time surged in her heart like a tide.
Envy, longing, a touch of self-pity, and an indescribable sense of loneliness.
She didn't want to come today, but Liu Rumeng personally went to the Xinhua News Agency's Hong Kong branch to pick her up.
That's just how she is. When it comes to things that don't concern her, she's carefree, adventurous, and willing to take risks.
But when it came to her own situation, she became quite hesitant.
I can't bring myself to be ruthless, I can't make a decision.
They often have to be pushed forward by others!
Just like today, Liu Rumeng dragged him into the car, and he didn't even know how he ended up at Villa No. 3 in Repulse Bay. He was even chatting and laughing with the other three women as they prepared a sumptuous dinner for Lin Huowang.
Oh my god!
Before coming to Hong Kong Island, she never imagined that she would have such a day, in such a luxurious villa, preparing dinner for the same man with three other beautiful girls.
At that time, she felt as if she had truly integrated into their group and was no different from them.
But now...
Lin Huowang was talking eloquently, and the way the other three women looked at him showed their admiration, worship, and trust in him. But what about himself?
And in what capacity am I sitting here?
She felt like an outsider, out of place in this warm and hopeful scene.
An intense battle raged between her inner impulses and her practical restraint, making her restless.
She stopped talking and silently picked up the wine glass beside her, drinking it one glass after another.
The rich liquid slid down my throat, bringing a slight burning sensation and a brief numbness.
She thought, "If I get drunk, I won't have to think so much. If I get drunk... maybe I can temporarily escape this unsettling situation."
Lin Huowang was explaining in detail the competition format and potential highlights of "The Voice of Asia". Liu Rumeng, Kobayashi Keiko and Lü Ruirong listened attentively, their eyes filled with admiration and anticipation for the future.
They were deeply attracted by Lin Huowang's endless stream of ingenious ideas and his ability to strategize.
Suddenly, Liu Rumeng's gaze swept over Qian Shuzhen and noticed that her cheeks were flushed, her eyes were unfocused, her head was almost touching the table, and the wine glass in front of her was empty.
