Chapter 570: Entertainment Industry Alliance
Yang Fan, bringing along the team he had organized, returned to Gangdao and quickly set up his own company.
Named Tesla Technology Company, it mainly engages in the manufacturing, development, and service of industrial control computers.
Those Yang Fan brought back to Gangdao are all top-tier talents.
Plus, he had done a lot of preliminary R&D.
Soon, the Tesla industrial control platform was manufactured.
The system was helped integrated by Yang Qihang, and it heavily borrowed from Apple's system.
However, domestic manufacturing capability is poor now, so everything has to start from scratch.
Therefore, Tesla's customers are mainly little Japan and Germany.
Yang Fan urgently lacks business elites.
Hu Lianxi is everywhere poaching people for him.
Hu Lianxi is also pitiful; after serving his old man and serving the youngster, he's lucky to get paid, otherwise he would really have thrown in the towel.
Yang Qing went up to Peaceful Mountain and looked at Yang Fan's five women.
Because Chen Hong's suppression is gone, this group of women chirps and chitters, causing chaos like chickens flying and dogs jumping.
No choice, Yang Qing invited Zhao Man Ting over; the old lady, as soon as she acted, knew whether there was.
The five women were subdued and became obedient.
Yang Fan is very satisfied with his father's concern.
Yang Qing also couldn't stand it; these women had run wild and didn't care about the impact.
When he visited, they were bare-chested and exposing their breasts, not treating him as an outsider at all.
The key is still the beauties; Yang Qing can't stand their torment.
Simply out of sight, out of mind; let Zhao Man Ting handle it, and he tries to stay away.
On the Eternal Splendor side, the beauties Yang Qing knows are increasing— for example, Zhao Yazi, for example, Guan Zhilin, for example, Wang Zuxian, for example, Lin Qingxia, for example, Tanaka Yuko………
Each of them used to be his dream goddess.
The old fellow's heart is a bit out of control.
So he strives to suppress himself and tries to look less.
Because he really can't resist these women's advances; everyone has some dreams in their heart, and this is Yang Qing's soft spot.
But just because you don't go doesn't mean others won't try to flirt with him.
Whether it's Eternal Splendor or Lai's, they often invite him to participate in events.
There are still many opportunities to meet, making Yang Qing's heart itch.
The situation in Gangdao's film and television circle is like this.
Lai's, because of the Golden Hero series TV drama, can be said to be blazing hot.
Over at TVB, they also hold half of the film and television rights to the Golden Hero novels, and the two TV stations take turns airing Golden Hero.
Jia Yi's side lacks such resources, so they make their own, specializing in costume dramas.
Upon the release of "The Great Era", it swept through Gangdao.
With the film circle heating up, this group in Gangdao grew ambitious, wanting to create a Gangdao version of the Golden Statue Award, a Gangdao version of the Grammy Award, and a Gangdao version of the Emmy Award.
Actually, Gangdao already has the Golden Statue Award and the Golden Needle Award, but because Azure Rainbow Media does not participate, these two awards are merely ornamental.
Many people, using Chen Ziqiang's connections, want Azure Rainbow Media to join, to consolidate the awards' authority.
Chen Ziqiang also sought Yang Qing several times.
But Yang Qing simply refused.
Indeed, Azure Rainbow Media's actors can participate in Yingjiang's major awards; Gangdao's are optional.
Moreover, don't think these people look the part; in fact, each is a hollow grass sack with no real ability— letting such people be judges, it would be strange if they could be fair.
In short, their level is insufficient.
That day, Chen Ziqiang came to find Yang Qing again, and Yang Qing couldn't help retorting.
"Is the Golden Statue Award necessary? Doesn't WanDao have a Golden Horse Award?"
"Gangdao just creating another for everyone to play their own?"
"In the end, it just becomes self-indulgence?"
"All of East Asia, how big a place is it?"
"Can it accommodate so many awards?"
"If you want to do it, fine— first you all form an alliance."
"Go and make the greatest effort to liberate East Asia region's film, television, and music distribution rights."
"Whoever agrees to open up film, television, and music distribution rights, let them join our award selection."
"Whoever joins the award selection, next year, give them a seat."
"Let them participate in the award selection."
"In the alliance's resource sharing, as long as they succeed, Azure Rainbow Media can open up its production, artists, and screenwriter resources."
"Let entertainment companies, actors, and directors from various countries gain greater development space."
"Only if we unite all East Asian countries will this market be sufficient to support East Asia's entertainment development, and also enable us to strive for equal dialogue rights with Yingjiang, Ouluoba, and such places."
"Without this premise, it's all nonsense; what's the point of self-entertainment?"
"Just like WanDao's Golden Horse Award, how can we guarantee everyone fair treatment?"
"Either don't do it, or do it well."
"Even if there are difficulties, if we can't do it in one year, we try two years; if not in two years, then three years."
"As long as there is a goal, someday we can achieve it; that is the responsible attitude toward East Asia's entertainment industry."
Otherwise, no matter how much you fuss, you won't get anywhere.
(The fragmentation of the East Asian entertainment market greatly suppresses the development of the film and television industry.)
Chen Ziqiang was left speechless by the retort.
This involves politics, and many countries; the difficulty is far beyond imagination.
However, it's not that there's no possibility at all; currently, Gangdao's entertainment industry has close cooperative ties with Singapore-Malaysia, Malaysia, Thailand, and other places.
They are targets that can be won over.
Like Daxia, Nan Chao, where people live comfortably, these three impose great restrictions on our country's these industries, especially Daxia.
We can only nibble at it bit by bit.
These people in Gangdao have no room for choice; either follow Yang Qing's way, or don't bother fussing.
To encourage them, Yang Qing allowed Chen Ziqiang to take out a sum of money for them to do PR.
Among them, Tang Shuxuan is the most proactive; after all, the Golden Horse Awards were his brainchild, and 'Film Biweekly' is even more his enterprise.
Shaw Brothers undertook the broadcast rights of the Golden Horse Awards and is also very proactive.
As for the music awards and TV drama awards, they are prepared to be given to Lai's and Jia Yi, so people from both sides also need to contribute.
Plus the power of Azure Rainbow Media.
The entire PR team can be said to be extraordinarily luxurious.
First to be secured is Singapore-Malaysia, because here, like Gangdao, it is also a free port.
There's no need to restrict the development of cultural products; they haven't restricted them either, on the contrary they are very supportive—the film and television expo is held here.
Next are Malaysia and Thailand; the difficulty here is somewhat greater.
It's hard to accomplish relying only on them.
The PR team had no choice but to go to the Governor's Office to consult Governor Youde.
The entertainment industry is now Gangdao's pillar industry; Youde has no reason to stop it.
So he sent people from Hong Fu, together with the PR team, to go persuade Malaysia and Thailand.
Actually, these two places have a large Chinese population; originally there weren't many restrictions on the spread of Gangdao's entertainment products, otherwise Gangdao's films wouldn't be shown there without restraint.
After a round of negotiations and compromises, both sides signed the Asian Entertainment Industry Alliance contract, formally confirming member treatment.
The PR team never imagined they could sign a contract so steeped in political overtones.
Although their influence was taken away a lot by the newcomers, there are gains and losses.
They also gained a certain political status.
With the new members added, they again rushed toward Brunei and the Philippines.
Brunei joined without much hesitation, while the Philippines is still under the Marcos family's rule, so they are not courteous to the PR team.
Shaw Brothers and company also didn't touch that sore point, turning instead to WanDao.
Now the Yang Family and the Chiang Family are cooperating more pleasantly, and the two Chiangs themselves also hope to expand the influence of the Golden Horse Awards; after ensuring the preservation of the Golden Horse Awards, both sides also completed negotiations.
The easiest PR tasks have been done; Shaw Brothers and company again set their sights on Nan Chao.
Nan Chao's economy is now strong, like Gangdao one of the Asian Four Little Dragons, and moreover, the entertainment products from Hong Kong and Taiwan also develop strongly in Nan Chao.
They have a foundation for cooperation.
Actually, South Korea hasn't yet realized the importance of the entertainment industry; in a few years, it will have a 'culture-nation' strategy, and thus begin a plagiarism career.
