Reborn Tycoon: Hong Kong's Entertainment Godfather

Chapter 30 Jianghu Hunt Order

Of course, Gu Yuhan had the final say in the early stages.

The first segment is the variety show channel, which is handled by Phoenix TV for production, arrangement, and design. The third segment is news, also specifically handled by Phoenix TV. This includes shows like "The Voice of Asia," "If You Are the One," and "Metamorphosis," various singing competitions, and reality shows. Gu Yuhan also has opinions on news, such as how to structure news and how to make it interesting, mainly drawing inspiration from things like "Rage Comic."

Huang Xizhao initially thought Gu Yuhan was just rich and probably a clueless newbie when it came to TV dramas. But now, Huang Xizhao was genuinely impressed. What exactly was going on in this boss's head? It was said that Gu Yuhan had given Huang Baiming the script for "Happy Ghost."

Unexpectedly, she has such a deep understanding of television. In her previous life, Gu Yuhan had watched quite a few programs.

The problem now is that our own TV station has too few channels, which isn't enough to accommodate so many of our excellent variety shows. However, there's no need to rush; we can take it one step at a time and proceed slowly.

Listening to Gu Yuhan's ideas about the concept of a variety show.

Huang Xizhao was frantically taking notes with a pen in hand.

He just couldn't understand where Gu Yuhan's ideas and thoughts came from. Right now, the biggest problem wasn't the lack of variety shows, but that Phoenix TV only had two channels: an international channel and a local channel.

Hong Kong and Taiwan simply cannot handle so many programs at once.

"These are my thoughts. As for TV dramas, my personal opinion is to start by filming Jin Yong's martial arts dramas, and then gradually move on to modern urban dramas, fantasy dramas, and other supernatural dramas. The TV stations don't need to worry about those; their priority should be to produce good variety shows!"

Gu Yuhan took a sip of tea and asked with a smile, "Any other questions?" "The copyright on Jin Yong's side?" Huang Xizhao couldn't help but ask.

"I probably spent a hundred million!" Gu Yuhan spread his hands and said with a smile, "I bought the copyrights to all his novels for nearly thirty years!"

Huang Xizhao suddenly felt like he couldn't help but scream "Holy crap!"

"One hundred million, for three, thirty years?" Huang Xizhao exclaimed, "Boss, you're really generous!" It was only the late 1970s, and one hundred million was a terrifying number.

"It's nothing. I don't usually get too involved in TV program production. At most, I'll offer some suggestions. If you think they're reasonable, then adopt them. If you think they're unreasonable, that's fine too. Change them according to your own ideas!" Gu Yuhan said with a smile.

"Boss, your ideas and creativity!" Huang Xizhao said with a wry smile, "This isn't even giving feedback. If you weren't my boss, I would have already appointed you as the general manager!"

Everyone couldn't help but laugh.

Everyone knows Huang Xizhao is just flattering him. If Gu Yuhan really wasn't the boss, Huang Xizhao probably wouldn't have given up the general manager position.

"Alright, I don't care about the process, I only care about the result. And what is the result? In other words, the ratings can't disappoint me!!"

Huang Xizhao immediately nodded, "Understood!" Then, Huang Xizhao immediately began preparing for the new television program. First, he'd tinker with "The Voice of Asia." Then, he'd have Phoenix Film & Television film Jin Yong's work.

I have no shortage of actors under my command, so I might as well film a TV series first to hone my skills, and then... Jin Yong's works have experienced three waves of popularity.

The first wave was in the 1970s and 80s, the second in the 1990s, and the third wave began with frequent adaptations in mainland China. Remakes were always a guarantee of high viewership.

It'll be roughly thirty years, and ratings will definitely not be a problem then. As for what happens after thirty years, well, that's up to us. Gu Yuhan admitted that his involvement with Asia Television and the film and television industry was somewhat like pulling up seedlings to help them grow, but so what?

Television needs high viewership ratings, and movies need high box office returns. Only then can they integrate Google Play and establish their brand value.

Of course, most importantly, in future business negotiations, I can't let myself be silenced. As long as my TV ratings are high, the media will be on my side; what can anyone else do against me? (Meeting ended)

Gu Yuhan stretched, preparing to have dinner with executives from Phoenix TV, when Su Rongrong suddenly...

He walked up to Gu Yuhan and said, "Young Master Yu, something's happened!"

"Something happened?" Gu Yuhan frowned. "What happened?"

Su Rongrong blurted out, "Zhou Jun's leg was broken!" "What did you say?" Gu Yuhan was slightly taken aback, and asked in surprise, "Zhou Jun's leg was broken?"

Su Rongrong nodded quickly. Although deep down, Su Rongrong looked down on Zhou Jun.

I feel like this guy is like a corrupt eunuch serving an ancient emperor, only good for pimping. He's just a lackey who abuses his master's power.

But there was nothing he could do; after all, Zhou Jun's dog belonged to Gu Yuhan.

From another perspective, Su Rongrong really has to thank Zhou Jun for what she has today. If it weren't for Zhou Jun, she wouldn't be able to stay by Gu Yuhan's side.

"Ah Zhao!" Gu Yuhan called out to Huang Xizhao.

"Boss!" Huang Xizhao quickly approached Gu Yuhan. "I won't be eating with you guys, you'll be in charge!" Gu Yuhan said calmly. Huang Xizhao nodded quickly: "Understood!"

Then, Gu Yuhan waved and pulled Su Rongrong into his Rolls-Royce: "To the hospital!" Su Rongrong quickly gave an address, and the driver started the engine. "What happened?" Gu Yuhan asked Su Rongrong as they sat in the car. Su Rongrong replied, "The ones who did it were from the Wo Shing Wo gang, the 'Wo' prefix, a gang called Wo Yee Yung. However, the incident started because of the Shaw Brothers!"

"Shao's?" Gu Yuhan was taken aback. "What did this kid do?"

"They just poached actors from Shaw Brothers!" Su Rongrong blurted out. "They've been poaching actors from Shaw Brothers lately. There's one named Andy Lau, another named Tony Leung, and quite a few actors have been poached by our Bright Film Company, which has displeased Shaw Brothers!"

At this point, Su Rongrong paused, then said with some disgust, "He was chatting with a girl named Chen Yulian today, and then he got beaten up by the He Yiyong gang!"

Gu Yuhan stroked his chin: "Chen Yulian?" This is the third generation of Little Dragon Girl.

The first and second generations are Nan Hong and Li Tongming. Li Tongming is one of the leading actresses of Jiayi TV. She has now been recruited into Gu Yuhan's team. Chen Yulian is the third generation of Xiaolongnu.

However, it seems that starting with Chen Yulian, Wang Yuyan and Xiaolongnu have always been played by the same actress. Thinking of this, Gu Yuhan gently stroked his chin. To be honest, Zhou Jun, that lackey, is truly a scoundrel; he spares no effort in expanding his harem.

"What's his current situation?" Gu Yuhan asked.

"He's alright!" Su Rongrong said. "Someone rescued him, but one of his legs was broken, and he's still in the hospital!"

"I understand!" Gu Yuhan nodded. Suddenly, he realized that this era also had its inconveniences. Without a cell phone, he couldn't seem to get information immediately. In any case, this was his lackey, and his leg had been broken, which was a slap in Gu Yuhan's face.

This matter is not something that can be easily resolved. The hospital!

"Young Master Yu!" Upon seeing Gu Yuhan, Zhou Jun's face immediately displayed both fawning and sorrowful expressions: "Young Master Yu, Young Master Yu, you've come!"

Gu Yuhan sat down in front of Zhou Jun, looked at Zhou Jun's leg that was hanging up, and said, "I already know what happened. How's your leg?"

Zhou Jun's tears immediately streamed down his face. "Young Master Yu, Young Master Yu, my leg is ruined!" "What do you mean?" Gu Yuhan asked, squinting. "It's...it's my kneecap that's shattered. The doctor said that even if it heals, I...I'll be a cripple for life!" Zhou Jun gritted his teeth in hatred. "Young Master Yu, you have to stand up for me!"

"Your knee is shattered?" Gu Yuhan's eyes instantly turned dangerous. "Yes!" Zhou Jun's eyes were filled with resentment. "Good, good, good!" Gu Yuhan's eyes were filled with murderous intent. He gently patted Zhou Jun's shoulder and said, "Take good care of your injury. I'll handle this for you!"

Zhou Jun immediately said, "Young Master Yu, thank you so much, Young Master Yu!"

He also knew very well that he could never take revenge on his own. He could only rely on Gu Yuhan. After all, the Gu family was somewhat involved in gangs. Although they had cleaned up their act, their influence was still enormous.

..

In Tseung Kwan O, at the Tiu Keng Leng villa complex, Gu Yuhan summoned Su Weidong.

During this time, Su Weidong has been in Tseung Kwan O. Gu Yuhan plans to design a bar street there, and naturally, the Su family will be involved in the design of nightclubs.

If the profits are distributed properly, the Su family can also make a fortune.

In particular, according to Gu Yuhan's plan, this place is next to the Tseung Kwan O Film City. As long as celebrities spend money here, it will naturally attract a lot of consumers.

Once things get lively, the place here will naturally become bustling. The revenue generated here is definitely not small; with alcohol, beverages, and beautiful women, Su Weidong could easily sense the enormous profits involved.

During this time, he worked tirelessly, and eventually became a contractor.

"What the hell? He cursed at the neighbor's family? Which bastard did that?" Su Weidong jumped up on the spot: "How dare he lay a hand on someone from our Gu family? He's got a death wish!"

Gu Yuhan slowly sipped his tea while pouring: "I only know it's He Yiyong, but I don't know exactly who it is!"

He Yiyong belongs to He Shenghe.

The Su family belongs to the number K. Relatively speaking, Hong Kong's triads are still a relatively loose organization. The Su family developed from the number K, while the Yi Yong triad developed from the Wo Shing triad.

Nominally, the K-number Wo Shing Wo or Sun Yee On are very famous, but there is no situation where a triad boss can order thousands of his underlings to move out immediately.

Essentially, gangs are just a bunch of thugs and hooligans; their internal affairs revolve around the distribution of profits, and infighting is quite normal in the pursuit of those profits.

As for the idea that a single order would send countless gang members rushing to their deaths, that's a joke. Do you think this is a political party? For a gang to survive, it naturally needs to project an image of loyalty and other factors; to put it bluntly, it's just using its underlings as cannon fodder.

A real gang isn't about how many henchmen you have or how powerful you are. It's about whether you can afford funeral expenses if your henchmen die in battle, medical expenses for knife wounds, and resettlement expenses if they become disabled.

Clubs…

In the end, they are just henchmen of capitalists.

Whether a group is powerful or not depends on how powerful the financial group behind it is.

As for whether the gang might have its own money-making business to support its members, that's certainly possible.

Gu Zhenguo himself is a prime example. After standing out and accumulating wealth, he gave back to the gang. Initially, he was just a live-in son-in-law, but now he has truly turned his life around, and the Su family has to rely on Gu Zhenguo, hoping he will help them make a living.

Su Weidong thought for a moment, then said, "Let me make a call first!" He quickly made a call, and ten minutes later, hung up, saying, "The one who attacked Yiyong is called Jin Yaqiang. He has about four hundred men under his command. They are indeed working for the Shao family!"

"Gold Tooth Qiang, right?" Gu Yuhan laughed, and slowly asked, "How much money did you get?"

"How would I know? Probably only two or three hundred thousand!" Su Weidong said. "What, want to meet up?" "No interest!" Gu Yuhan toyed with his teacup, slowly sipping his tea, and said, "What kind of trash is this? Does it even deserve to sit on equal footing with us?"

Su Weidong shrugged: "How so?"

Gu Yuhan said, "Jin Yaqiang attacked Zhou Jun, which clearly shows he doesn't take me seriously. Of course, it doesn't really matter if he doesn't take me seriously, I don't care. Just get me a kill order!"

Su Weidong was stunned: "What?"

"That Gold Tooth Qiang!" Gu Yuhan poured another cup of tea and said with a smile, "All the henchmen of the He Yi Yong gang, each of their underlings is worth 200,000 per head. With about four hundred men, that's only 80 million. As for this Gold Tooth Qiang, we'll put a bounty on his head, worth 5 million. As for the leaders, they'll be worth between 2 million and 3 million!"

Su Weidong's eyes widened immediately: "What?" "Furthermore, I will also accept Yi Yong's..."

"And if you hand over his head, I'll give you two hundred thousand and cancel the bounty on him!"

"Ah Yu, are you really going to spend 80 million on this? Is it worth it for Zhou Jun?" Su Weidong couldn't help but ask, "Why don't I just have someone take over their venue?"

"This isn't enough!" Gu Yuhan pushed the teacup towards Su Weidong. "Brother Weidong, is this intimidating enough? Besides, the people under our command are all delicate; are we supposed to go and fight bricks head-on?"

Su Weidong was stunned for a long time before he realized that Gu Yuhan really didn't treat money like money. This was nearly 80 million, and he just spent it without a second thought.

Gu Yuhan smiled and said, "You draft a list; we can't waste money, can we?"

Su Weidong said, "Okay, I understand!"

Thinking about it this way, Su Weidong actually felt a bit excited.

The bounty is 80 million—no, Jin Yaqiang's is 5 million, and the others' are around 2 to 3 million. That's close to 100 million!
