Chapter 237: Unaccustomed

Just at seven o'clock in the morning, Wang Qiang and Li Dong had finished washing and went downstairs from the apartment.

Downstairs was a tea restaurant, which was one of the canteens for their Asia Television employees.

The tea restaurant was not managed by Asia Television employees, but signed a cooperation agreement with the boss.

Employees living in the residential area had a meal subsidy of 12 yuan every day.

If they wanted to eat better, they would spend a few more yuan themselves.

If they were not picky, 12 yuan was enough to eat very full.

Wang Qiang and Li Dong, as well as other employees from the Mainland, were like this.

If it weren't for the fact that they couldn't refund the money, they would be very satisfied with a few pineapple buns and a bowl of rice porridge in the morning.

They were really not used to the way of eating Hong Kong-style breakfast; compared to soup and water, they preferred a bowl of soy milk.

"Morning, Old Wang!" "Morning, Old Li!" "Sit here, let's eat together..."

In the tea restaurant, employees from the Mainland and local Hong Kong employees were clearly divided.

Of course, there was no secret intrigue, just unfamiliarity.

And there would be no discrimination; the big boss came from the Mainland a few years ago, and whoever dared to make a fuss about this, regardless of whether they had ability or not, had to get out.

The current Asia Television is thriving, and both the salary and benefits are quite good!

Not to mention, big boss Wu Feng also had other reward measures.

Participating in program production or TV drama shooting, once profitable, there were different proportions of dividends.

This was amazing, making quite a few capable employees of the TV station very happy.

According to this mode, like hit variety shows or boutique TV drama production teams, each period or each part had rewards ranging from thousands to tens of thousands.

This income level belonged to the standard senior white-collar in the working field, and even touched the threshold of gold-collar. At this time, if they were cleared by the TV station, the loss would be too great.

Of course, Wu Feng's reward measures were quite comprehensive, naturally covering news programs, etc., and there would be no situation of unbalanced rewards.

Employees were definitely happy, and they naturally wouldn't care that the boss paid more costs for this.

However, they still remembered the boss's goodness in their hearts.

No other reason, there was a comparison with Wireless opposite, and the sense of happiness and superiority came up all at once.

It was just that Wu Feng didn't have harsh profit requirements for the TV station, otherwise how could he be so generous?

With the memory of later generations, his positioning for the TV station was a public opinion propaganda platform.

As long as there was a propaganda effect, whether it could be profitable was truly not important!

In normal history, the Asia Television boss after Qiu Degen was Lin Baiyi, and there were also other wealthy Hong Kong tycoons who belonged to important shareholder members.

Their purpose of buying Asia Television was very simple, which was to improve their own right to speak and influence.

According to the Mainland's customary way of saying, it was to increase the value of the united front.

After 1997 passed, seeing that nothing bad happened, they turned Asia Television around cleanly, where was the "ambition" when they just got it?

It was just that the Hong Kong environment was special, and the financial groups of foreign countries dared not act rashly by relying on the Mainland.

Otherwise, if the old money families in Hong Kong didn't master the public opinion platform with sufficient influence in their hands, they would be passive when being rectified.

They were all Asia Television employees, and the atmosphere in the tea restaurant was quite good.

When the time came, a medium-sized bus stopped nearby.

"Go go go, go to work, go to work!"

The TV station employees originally gathered in the tea restaurant all got on the medium-sized bus.

This was the employee special bus of Asia Television, specifically for picking up and dropping off TV station employees in this area.

Just this point alone saved employees hundreds of commuting fees every month.

Plus the low dormitory rental cost, and the meal subsidy of about 50 yuan a day during work.

Although the basic salary was about the same as ordinary white-collar workers, these money could be saved.

Plus other rewards and benefits, the Asia Television employees at this time had a lot of happiness and motivation.

"Old Wang, have you gotten started with the camera recently?"

Wang Qiang and Li Dong sat in the back row, whispering about work matters.

"Gotten started, as a camera assistant, assisting in shooting some unimportant shots!"

Hearing Li Dong's inquiry, Wang Qiang answered with a smile: "Coming to Hong Kong this time is right, it hasn't been long, and I can touch the camera, and it's the newest model!"

"Me too, as the main lighting assistant!"

Li Dong's tone was also quite joyful, and he said with a light laugh: "Looking at this, it won't be long before I can get started completely!"

The two subconsciously looked at each other, and both saw joy in each other's eyes.

"Old Wang, then what do you think of the TV dramas we shoot?"

After the joy passed, Li Dong continued to ask: "How does it feel to shoot?"

"To be honest, a bit rough!"

Wang Qiang looked around, and seeing that no one was paying attention to them, he whispered: "Sometimes, I feel that the actor's performance is not up to standard, but the director passed it!"

"In addition, sometimes the picture shot by the camera is not beautiful enough, and it can also be easily passed!"

"How come it feels like these people are in a hurry to work, and they don't value the quality of TV dramas very much!"

"The situation on my side is the same!"

Li Dong also whispered: "Sometimes, the lighting effect is not very good!"

"At that time, the actor was even a bit ugly under the lighting, but it was passed directly!"

"It's just that I'm new here, so it's not easy to say anything!"

"Yeah, I'm in the same situation, there are many things I want to say but I'm holding them in my heart!"

Wang Qiang echoed: "But I observed carefully, the TV station shoots TV dramas very fast, maybe this is why they gave up some roughness in the details?"

"How can it be like this?"

Li Dong didn't understand: "Shooting TV dramas, at least we should strive for excellence, right?"

"Forget it, we are currently low-ranking, so it's not suitable to say these!"

Wang Qiang shook his head: "I heard that a 20-episode TV drama here at the TV station must be completed within a month at most, and then played directly on TV!"

"So fast?"

Li Dong was taken aback, shook his head: "Why are they in such a hurry? Wouldn't it be better to spend a little more time to make it better?"

"Old Li, this is a private TV station, they have to be responsible for their own profits and losses!"

Wang Qiang whispered: "All TV programs must be produced by themselves, and there can be no gaps during the period, maybe this is the requirement of the TV station's senior management, after all, it concerns the TV station's revenue!"

"Sigh, it seems that the TV station here in Hong Kong is very different from the situation in our Mainland!"

Li Dong whispered bitterly: "It's just that this fast work rhythm, I'm a bit unaccustomed to it for a while!"

Saying this, he showed a decadent look, as if he couldn't go on.

To put it bluntly, the literary and artistic style on his body was a bit serious, and he couldn't look at the style of Hong Kong peers.
