Then, with a doting and tolerant expression of "you are too naive", he said to her with a smile: "My dear, your optimism always makes people happy. But the operation of a media empire is far from being supported by gimmicks.
TVB has been around for years, and the seasoned duo of Sir Run Run Shaw and Miss Fong are incredibly experienced. ATV is plagued by internal problems and faces powerful external rivals. Two immature "beautiful station directors"?
I'll wait and see, but... I'll remain cautiously pessimistic. The Hong Kong television landscape won't change in the short term because of this farce.
I'm more concerned about what Mr. Kobayashi's true strategic intentions are after acquiring Hong Kong Land and ATV. The two Miss Hong Kong pageants might just be a smokescreen to divert his attention.
Broadcast Drive, TVB Headquarters Building, General Manager's Office.
Li Ka-shing's face flushed as he poured two glasses of whiskey himself and handed one to Run Run Shaw who was sitting on the sofa.
"Run Run! Cheers to the end of Asian TV!
Kobayashi Tenmo has completely lost his mind this time! Letting those two fluffy girls run Asia Television is simply digging their own graves! Look at the newspapers outside, the whole of Hong Kong is laughing at them!
Run Run Shaw took the wine glass with a rare relaxed smile on his face. He gently shook the amber liquid in the glass, as if appreciating the color of victory.
"Hsiao-ho, take a long-term view. This isn't just the end of Asia Television; it's the beginning of TVB completely dominating the Hong Kong television industry.
Rediffusion Television's mess in the UK was already shaky. Now Asia Television is jumping into the fire pit again... Next year, no, maybe not even next year, the people of Hong Kong Island will only need to watch TVB! Advertisers? Then they will line up to offer their money, and we will have to pick and choose!
Li Xiaohe also laughed out loud when he heard this, and drank the wine in his glass in one gulp. He said happily: "That's right! Sir Run Run has a great idea! TVB's leading position is as stable as Mount Tai!"
That Xiaolin Tianwang is, after all, an outsider in the field of television! He's just a name for nothing! Where's Miss Fang? We have to invite her to celebrate with us on such a happy occasion!
Run Run Shaw waved his hand. "Mona's off to deal with the aftermath of the salary increase cancellation. There's no need to bother her. Now, all we have to do is sit tight and wait and see how that farce on Asia Television starring the two Miss Hong Kong pageants ends."
Run Run Shaw's voice was filled with determined contempt for Liu Rumeng and Lu Ruirong's management of Asia Television.
Having been in the business world for decades, he knew too well the difficulty of managing a large organization, which was definitely not something two young and beautiful girls could handle.
"By the way, have the news department keep an eye on what's going on at Asia Television. Aren't they going to be broadcasting the Japanese versions of Pokémon and Sailor Moon?
Why are we still filming "The Demi-Gods and Semi-Devils" and "A Step into the Past"? I want to see what these two outsiders can come up with. Any mistakes must be reported immediately!
He wants the whole of Hong Kong to see the true nature of this "farce" and completely establish TVB's unshakable authority.
Amidst the outside world's noisy waves of ridicule and doubts towards the two Miss Hong Kong pageants, Liu Rumeng and Lu Ruirong, a silent action had already begun inside the Asia Television building.
Liu Rumeng was wearing a neat beige windbreaker and a wide-brimmed hat pulled down low, covering most of her face and leaving only her graceful jaw exposed.
She was accompanied by two senior reporters from the press team and the backbone of the editing team.
Lu Ruirong was dressed in dark work clothes, also wearing a hat and a mask, and brought another team of people, including Wang Min, a reporter from the news department who had just been promoted by Liu Rumeng.
The two teams met quietly at the entrance of the TV station.
Lu Ruirong looked at the general manager in front of him, who was about the same age as him but had already demonstrated amazing courage and skill. His eyes were filled with nervousness and admiration.
"Sister Rumeng...shall we...set off now?"
Liu Rumeng's gaze swept across the crowd, calm and firm, without any fluctuation caused by outside public opinion.
"Okay. Remember the key points I gave you. This show is the key to our Asian Television's comeback. It doesn't rely on looks or scandals, but on the power and warmth of reality.
We will delve deeper into the areas outlined in our plan. The filming must be authentic, the interviews must be thorough, and the editing must be meticulous. Most importantly, everything must remain confidential until the official broadcast."
Wang Min nodded vigorously, his eyes eager as he said, "Don't worry, Mr. Liu! We understand! This opportunity is hard-won, and we must give our best to film something truly touching!"
As a newly promoted newcomer, he is full of gratitude and a sense of mission for Liu Rumeng's recognition and the high hopes placed on this program.
"good."
Liu Rumeng nodded slightly, her gaze casting towards the busy street outside the TV station. "Arong, you lead one team to the factory areas and old tenement buildings in Sham Shui Po and Kwun Tong. I'll lead another to the rural villages and outlying islands in the New Territories. Split up and be careful. If you have any questions, feel free to contact me."
"Understood, Sister Rumeng!"
Lu Ruirong took a deep breath, trying to suppress the tension in his heart and make himself appear more capable.
Without any unnecessary nonsense, the two teams separated quickly and low-key, blending into the bustling flow of people and traffic on Hong Kong Island.
Their targets are those corners hidden by the bustling city lights, those unknown secrets and darkness.
The brims of the hats and masks covered their young and beautiful faces, and also isolated them from the ridicule and noise from the outside world.
In an unnoticed corner, the real battle for Asian television is quietly being waged in the most down-to-earth and courageous manner.
