Chapter 269 Zhang Chongbang: Am I a disgrace to the police force?
Huang Xizhao was the first Chinese general manager of Rediffusion at that time, and is now the executive director and general manager.
He has devoted a lot of effort to the TV station and is a person who is dedicated to getting things done.
Previously, Li's business was not doing well, and this was also due to Richard pretending to be knowledgeable and meddling in other people's affairs.
After much difficulty, Rediffusion finally underwent a complete transformation and got a new boss, who is a Chinese.
He originally thought that he could finally put his ideas and ambitions into action.
Unexpectedly, as soon as Chen Shixian came on stage, he even limited the program.
How can we play then?
In their line of work, the most feared thing is outsiders giving random instructions. The best thing is to just pay them and not do anything.
As far as he knew, Chen Shixian had no experience in entertainment media at all.
The thing he was most worried about actually happened.
What if Chen Shixian asked them to make colorful black and shining white?
Huang Xizhao hinted frantically: "Mr. Chen, please give us some space for creation. Please trust the planning of our professionals. We can discuss the program list again."
"Manager Huang, please take a look first."
Chen Shixian interrupted him directly and gestured.
Huang Xizhao was helpless. Why was every boss so mysteriously confident?
He picked up the program in front of him and slowly opened it.
The first program was a news program called "Good Morning, Hong Kong Island".
Looking at the program introduction, it's nothing special.
It mainly reports hot news from all over the world.
This kind of program has neither good nor bad points, and usually has stable ratings.
He shook his head.
I turned to the back page with lack of interest.
The second TV drama program is called "Wulin Waijia", which tells the story of a group of people living in Tongfu Inn, as well as some interesting things in the town and in the world.
His expression changed a little, and he quickly scanned the plot summary.
The charming innkeeper Tong Xiangyu, the hot-tempered servant Guo Furong, the thief Bai Zhantang, the accountant Lu Xiucai, the cook Li Dazui who dreams of making money and marrying a wife, and the child Mo Xiaobei...
Okay, this script is good.
It's lighthearted, humorous and witty. If it were filmed, it would definitely be a good script.
This novel script and situational drama approach, when combined together, is really good.
In addition to his keen insight and ability to discover talents, Huang Xizhao also has good appreciation and judgment abilities.
He must have a sharp eye to be able to secure a position under the foreigner in his company.
You can tell at a glance that this script is extraordinary.
The more you look at it, the more wonderful Huang Xizhao's expression becomes, with little stars in his eyes.
He couldn't wait to turn to the proposal for the new script and continue reading.
The next one is "The Legend of the New White Snake", which is a popular classic. If it is remade, the market will be huge.
Next is "My Date with a Vampire", with its imaginative plot setting and novel zombie setting, it's absolutely amazing.
This is an area that Hong Kong Island has never ventured into.
It is completely a pioneering work in TV dramas!
With excitement, he looked at the largest category, animation programs.
"Pleasant Goat and Big Big Wolf" and "Boonie Bears".
It’s amazing! This kind of cartoon is full of childishness and fun, and it will definitely attract a large number of children.
A high-quality children's program is the key to ratings and also the guarantee of ratings.
Further down is the variety show "Extreme 6+1", a talent show for the general public.
Huang Xizhao's eyes brightened again and again.
Absolutely! This kind of down-to-earth program makes TV programs no longer high-end, and citizens will feel more identified with the program.
Ordinary citizens can also participate.
This kind of show is bound to be a hit.
In addition to talent shows, there are also highly entertaining and anticipated programs such as "Happy Forward".
There has never been such a television station in Hong Kong Island.
Another one is "Millionaire", a quiz show where you can win high bonuses by passing levels. The huge bonuses are a major attraction and very eye-catching!
“New, new, new!”
“It’s so new!”
A large number of extremely creative and super novel programs came at him, and Huang Xizhao felt like he was suffocating.
No matter which one, it's eye-catching.
It's so amazing, so cool, it's simply epoch-making.
I can't believe what kind of brain can come up with such a brilliant idea.
Huang Xizhao's hands were shaking with excitement: "Mr. Chen, any one of these programs would be enough to boost the ratings."
"Creating a field that has never been seen before in the Hong Kong media industry!"
"I've been in the media industry for so long, but I've never come across a screenwriter with such wild imagination and wild ideas."
"I'm curious about what kind of talent came up with this program!"
Chen Shixian looked at Huang Xizhao's ecstatic expression and admitted calmly, "It's me!"
Chen Shixian, who has the memory of future generations, is equivalent to having a vast library of creative ideas.
Whether it's a TV drama script, a variety show or a cartoon, you just need to write a general plot and let others remove the hair.
Once the team is mature, the animations "Armor Hero" and "Detective Conan" can also be produced, and they can just let them make three-color films for their daily life.
Every profession has its specialties.
Moreover, in addition to talent shows like "Extreme 6+1", it would be even better to have a Miss Asia talent show.
There is no end to these creative ideas.
"It's you?!"
Huang Xizhao widened his eyes and looked at Chen Shixian in disbelief, stunned.
At this moment, he was in awe of this young man, Chen Shixian. His eyes sparkled and he worshipped him: "Mr. Chen, it is our honor to have you in ATV!"
"With these programs, ATV will definitely become the most famous TV station in Hong Kong Island and a benchmark for the entire entertainment media industry!"
Huang Xizhao said excitedly.
"These programs still need time to incubate. They all cost money and they still need time."
Chen Shixian was not surprised by the praise or criticism. He smiled and handed over a document: "The most important thing is this program. If it is done well, it will have an immediate effect."
"TV shopping?!"
Huang Xizhao exclaimed again.
They only thought about making good TV programs, increasing ratings, attracting businesses to place advertisements, and generating revenue.
I never thought that I could sell goods through TV shows and make direct cash.
Citizens called to place their orders.
Then deliver to your door.
It’s absolutely amazing. It’s absolutely amazing.
"At that time, we will bombard you with repeated advertising slogans, hype up sales, create an atmosphere, and offer attractive discounts."
"No housewife who watches TV can resist the temptation of low price and convenience."
Huang Xizhao's face flushed, his heart was surging, and he couldn't help but talk about it: "These creative programs must be patented to prevent friendly stations from imitating them."
“If TV shopping is done well, it might even make more money than advertising!”
Chen Shixian nodded. No wonder Huang Xizhao was able to bring ATV back to life later.
He just provided a creative idea, and the other party immediately came up with a plan to implement it.
He smiled with satisfaction and responded: "TV shopping is the fastest-landing project among these programs, and it is also the fastest-money-making project!"
“It can be put on the agenda in the near future.”
"As for other programs, if they are produced well and then released slowly in batches, they will be enough to sustain the ratings for a long time."
"As for the talents, you can go ahead and arrange them."
"The treatment is the highest in the industry."
"I want the entire ATV to move, come alive, and let everyone compete."
"Don't worry, Mr. Chen. With your program list, ATV will surely overturn the past, lead the media industry, and create a brand new era!"
Huang Xizhao's eyes were sparkling, and her gaze towards Chen Shixian was full of admiration.
It's worth working for a boss who provides plans, creativity, money, and has ideas and ambitions!
…
After ATV changed its owner, the first program to be broadcast was Lok Wai-ching's "Focus Interview, In-depth Dialogue with Hong Kong Island".
The TV program is broadcast during the prime time from 19:00 to 22:00.
As the boss's woman, Le Huizhen still has this privilege before other programs are completed and broadcast.
What's more, this program is also tacitly approved and favored by the big boss.
"Focus on current affairs, in-depth dialogue, this is Focus Interview, I am the host Le Huizhen."
"Today, we have invited several famous commentators from Hong Kong Island to have an in-depth conversation and talk about the Thief of the Century."
Le Huizhen was wearing a white suit with her hair tied up, looking neat and capable.
She really feels like the top lady on TV.
The program is an analysis of the hot topics of the Thief King case of the century. In the Thief King case, the hottest points are the police kneeling down and Zhang Chongbang's team, who tortured people to death.
Of course, as a TV program, it cannot be so straightforward and can only start with the gimmick of the thief king case.
"It's the thief case of the century again, just a rehash of the past. It's boring. Apart from the good-looking anchor, there's nothing else to watch!"
"ATV will collapse sooner or later!"
Inside the convenience store, a boss in a vest was picking his feet with one hand, rubbing the dead skin between his toes. With the other hand, he held the remote control, cursed, and prepared to change the channel.
But when he was about to transfer to TVB to watch "A Thousand Miles of Love".
"I lost, fell to the ground!"
The moment the picture flashed by, the store owner turned the channel back.
I stared at the Focus Interview program and was completely stunned.
On the screen, an opening video is played, which is a mixed cut that splices multiple scenes together.
The explosion at the Cointreau Hotel, the impact scene.
The picture of the plane taking off with a roar.
The scene of the Flying Tigers heroically descending from the rooftop.
The scene of Zhang Chongbang torturing and extracting a confession with a ferocious expression.
Slow motion footage of a police hat being shot off.
These images flash by quickly, accompanied by exciting music. They are all real, exciting and explosive images that are very eye-catching.
"Oh my god, that's awesome!!"
The boss exclaimed and stopped picking his feet. His eyes were focused on the scene where Zhang Chongbang and his group rushed into the Jundu Hotel and shot their colleagues to death.
Eyes widened instantly.
The trailer ends with an exciting scene, but it stops abruptly at the critical point. The editing is just right, like a claw, which successfully aroused his curiosity.
He watched the TV intently, waiting to find out what was going on.
TV images kept flashing, accompanied by the discussions of the invited celebrities.
The scene of Zhang Chongbang's team, with ferocious faces, violent law enforcement, and torture in Guangchang Building, instantly made the shop owner feel indignant.
"These thugs usually use these dirty tricks to deal with people. It's too much!"
The citizens who were enjoying the cool air in the shop and watching the situation were also talking about it.
"It was wrong for the police to use these methods, but the situation was urgent at the time and it was all for the purpose of saving lives."
"You can't say that. They are police officers. Police officers must abide by the rules and cannot act recklessly. Otherwise, it will be a mess."
"Extraordinary times call for extraordinary measures. Anyway, the one who was beaten to death was the thief king. Such bad guys should not be treated too harshly. What's torture?"
…
When citizens talked about the chaos, most of them still sympathized with Zhang Chongbang and others.
During the TV show, the famous commentators were divided into two camps and argued about this matter until they were red in the face and the show was very effective.
"On our show, the experts all had their own opinions and debated with each other."
"Next, let's watch a top-secret video that has never been made public."
"After watching it, let's hear what everyone thinks."
Le Huizhen controlled the rhythm of the entire show, and when the atmosphere reached its climax.
A video of the Cointreau Hotel was released.
The citizens were filled with strong curiosity and shut their mouths, focusing their eyes on the TV.
A group of people first appeared on the TV screen. As they approached, the citizens recognized them as Zhang Chongbang and his team members.
“Sizzle…”
Soon, white mist appeared in the surveillance screen and the vision became blurred.
Only a few figures were seen rushing into a house and lying in ambush.
“Da da da da!”
What followed was the sound of fierce fighting and muffled groans.
The scene speeds up, the door opens, and the smoke dissipates.
There were policemen lying on the ground, but not a single criminal.
"Lord, we seem to have killed Mr. Yao and the others by mistake..."
“No, no…”
"This is impossible, this is absolutely impossible!"
…
The great white shark screamed in fear, Zhang Chongbang hugged Yao Sir's body, cried bitterly, and the loud wailing sound reached everyone's ears.
This Shura-like scene stimulates everyone's nerves.
In the end, the entire scene froze on the bloody and grievous-eyed Yao Sir group, a scene that enveloped everything from high above.
The citizens in front of the TV were all stunned, staring at the TV, unable to recover for a long time.
It was like the calm before the storm, and after a few seconds, it suddenly exploded!
"Fuck you, these losers not only tortured people to death, but also killed their colleagues by mistake and deceived their superiors and subordinates!"
"He killed his colleague and refused to admit it. He took advantage of his colleague's blood and got a promotion and salary increase. Are you still a human being?"
"This is scum, a beast!"
"I think they are worse than beasts!"
"Yan Jiachan, I was wondering why these policemen didn't look like policemen. When they were interrogating people, their faces were scarier than those of bandits. It turns out they are just this kind of rubbish!"
…
The citizens in front of the TV were outraged as they watched the content on TV. Any understanding they had for Zhang Chongbang and others was completely gone.
It's all condemnation.
Citizens picked up the phone and called the police station to complain, demanding severe punishment for Zhang Chongbang's group.
There were even radicals who ran to the police station entrance, held up banners, cursed and protested.
The incident of the Century Thieves Group has just come to an end, but unexpectedly, a special report in the media has once again made the police the target of public criticism.
"The police should accept public supervision, look directly at the problems, rectify their ranks, adhere to the bottom line, enforce the law in a civilized manner, act forcefully and enforce the law with warmth!"
Cai Yuanqi clicked and turned off the recorded TV program. His face was gloomy and full of anger: "Falling on the street, it's a disgrace to the police force!"
Cai Yuanqi didn't expect that after the incident with the Century Thieves Group, even though he announced his early retirement, there was still a pit waiting for him.
Moreover, this spearhead was directed at the police force and became increasingly intense, once again slapping the police force in the face.
He immediately called a meeting with Fang Jiexia from the Public Relations Section, Liu Jiehui from the Management Office, and Deputy Director Li Wenbin.
After discussion, they all agreed that it would not be feasible for the police to evade further if they were to quell the disturbance.
Since the problem cannot be solved, the only thing we can do is to solve the person who created the problem.
In addition to dismissing all members of the police team, including Zhang Chongbang and Great White Shark, the cases involving torture, accidental killing of colleagues, and false claiming of credit will be tried in public and accepted by the citizens of Hong Kong to ensure fairness, justice and openness.
At the same time, the police force began to conduct self-examination and issued a series of rules and regulations to regulate the behavior of police officers.
The high pressure from the police force, coupled with the solid evidence and clear facts of the case led by Zhang Chongbang, accelerated the pace of the trial.
The court will open tomorrow.
…
Sin, a top luxury bar in Mong Kok, Seventh.
"bite!"
The crystal glasses collided, making a series of crisp sounds; Chen Shixian, Qiu Gangao, Baozhu, Ahua, Aquan, and Gongzi raised their glasses and clinked them together.
“cheers!”
Baozhu's face flushed, and after shouting excitedly, he drank the wine in the glass in one gulp.
"Tomorrow is the day of trial for Zhang Chongbang and Great White Shark. In the past, we dropped our guns and took off our hats, stood in the dock, and were judged."
"He sat in the witness stand, his hand on the Bible, and gave the testimony that doomed us."
"Now the roles have been reversed. It is Zhang Chongbang's turn to hand over their guns and take off their hats, stand in the dock and stand trial."
"I can't even imagine how happy and cool I'll be when I see all these defeated faces in the audience tomorrow!"
Qiu Gangao took a sip of the wine, his ring-wearing hand holding the wine glass, the corners of his mouth couldn't help but rise.
"No need to think, I will be extremely happy and excited!"
The young master took a towel and wiped the water stains on his hands, and said excitedly: "I am so happy that I am about to burst out!"
“I don’t know how long I have been looking forward to this day!”
“I’ll be even happier when they get into Stanley!”
Ah Hua took a deep breath, his face solemn: "I have come a long way, and I can finally give Brother Biao an explanation!"
Ah Quan nodded vigorously, feeling relieved: "Finally we have an explanation!"
With a thud, he put his glass on the bar and said loudly, "Damn it, to be honest, I'm not as excited as I am now when I'm having sex!"
"When I think about seeing Zhang Chongbang and his other lousy faces tomorrow, I'm so excited that I can't sleep!"
"Hahaha!"
Baozhu's words caused a burst of laughter.
The whole atmosphere is even more lively and joyful than the Chinese New Year.
“Dangdang…”
Chen Shixian gently shook the crystal wine glass in his hand.
The ice cubes collided with the cup, making a crisp sound. His eyes were deep, attracting everyone's attention.
