    After being well entertained by Zhou Yemang for a night, when Zhang Shaolin left his family and returned to the hotel early the next morning, it happened that the deputy director of the team, Zhou Taiyan, came to see him.  "Director Zhang, I heard that you went out yesterday afternoon. I didn't hear that you had any acquaintances here before coming to Hong Kong!" Zhou Taiyan should be one of the most moderately capable and moderately styled leaders of this CCTV leadership team.  Before Zhang Shaolin came here, he had heard that many leaders of CCTV actually voted against whether to cooperate in depth with ATV.  I can't blame them. On the one hand, before Lin Xiaozhi bloodbathed ATV's management, this TV station was an out-and-out '**** people-friendly' position. It had produced and reported a lot of content that was very popular in mainland China.  big.  Moreover, the storm of the past few years, which was torn down, smashed, and rebuilt from left to right, was so powerful that the sky almost collapsed, not to mention that the top management of CCTV, the most politically sensitive, would be neurotic, because now  No one on the mainland knows whether such a scene will happen again in the future. After all, even the former red empire, the Soviet Union, has disintegrated.  As for Zhou Taiyan, he is not the one in this leadership team who most advocates learning from the current working concepts of overseas TV stations to carry out reforms, but the advantage is that he is usually very popular, so when neither the opponents nor the supporters can convince anyone, everyone can see  There is no way to continue the trouble like this, so we might as well take the opportunity of coming to Hong Kong to discuss co-production of a TV series with ATV and let him, a centrist, lead the team to Hong Kong to see the situation.  Zhang Shaolin knew that Zhou Taiyan was easy to talk to, but he still showed due respect in front of the leader, and replied with some embarrassment: "I saw an acquaintance in the list of comrades going to Hong Kong who could be contacted for help.  I just wanted to ask him to be a guide to take me around Hong Kong. I didn¡¯t want to see him for a long time. Then he took me to my residence for a chat and didn¡¯t come back at night.¡± ¡°It must be Zhou Yemang, I heard.¡±  I told you about him. Among the people who came to Shanghai half a year ago, he was the best!" Zhou Taiyan really didn't go into details. After all, they had no plans on their first day in Hong Kong. Yesterday, many people took advantage of their leisure before studying and communicating.  Time, I ran out to experience a prosperous metropolis under another system.  Although he didn't know how Hong Kong fell in love with Zhang Shaolin, a director who had just emerged in China, Zhou Taiyan had also watched "The Young Generals" directed by him.  ", but he also had to admit that the filming of Zhang Shaolin's "Yang Family General" series was very exciting. Otherwise, local stations like Shanxi TV Station would not have had the same ratings when the series was released.  It once overshadowed CCTV TV series of the same period.  Speaking of Zhou Yemang, Zhou Taiyan was also amazed.  He knew about Zhou Yemang because ATV had already submitted Zhou Yemang's name in the list of actors proposed to star in "Water Margin", and they also specified that they wanted him to play the role of "Leopard Head" Lin Chong.  Because he is a mainland actor, out of curiosity, before going to Hong Kong, Zhou Taiyan asked someone to inquire, and found out that it was difficult for this Shanghai artist to get roles in the mainland. It was not that his acting skills were poor, because he came from a theater background.  There are very few who are not experts in acting.  Instead, the friend who helped him inquire directly told him that Zhou Yemang was too handsome to be a soldier, a tough guy, or a local character. Unexpectedly, after he went to Hong Kong as a member of the Shanghai exchange group, he relied on his outstanding performance.  The appearance is mixed here.  However, he didn't pay too much attention to Zhou Yemang. Although he was recommended by ATV, if Zhou Yemang failed to pass the audition during the filming, it was still unknown who would play the role when "Water Margin" started filming. From his own standpoint, he actually hoped in his heart.  Zhou Yemang is qualified for this role, after all, he is also a mainland actor.  While chatting, he looked at Zhang Shaolin with some regret, "There was a banquet held by ATV last night. I originally wanted to take you there, but there was nothing you could do if you left early. You missed an opportunity! ATV President Le  Jin is here too!¡± Zhang Shaolin didn¡¯t know if this was a polite comment, but he was still very touched.  He shook his head and felt a little regretful: "There should be opportunities in the future!" Zhou Taiyan nodded. If the "Water Margin" co-produced by the two companies is successfully launched, there will definitely be opportunities in the future.  At that moment, he also suppressed the regret on his face, and instead told him with some gossip: "It's strange, it's really strange, Hong Kong people drink red wine and champagne, but they don't drink white wine. Fortunately, I had to find some connections before and got it from Maotai Distillery.  I¡¯m going to bring a few bottles of thirty-year-old wine to give away!¡± He didn¡¯t know that not many people drink liquor in Hong Kong, and most of the drinkers are over 40 or 50 years old.  The most popular type of drink in Hong Kong is undoubtedly beer, followed by champagne, red wine and whiskey. The annual sales volume of liquor barely accounts for 20% of the total sales volume of drinks in Hong Kong, of which 10%In the 1970s, they all came from Taiwan and Japan. Liquor produced in mainland China has almost no market in Hong Kong. The reason is that it is blended with baijiu.  Since the 1950s and 1960s, due to natural disasters and the Soviet Union's invasion of the country, China was forced to repay its debts and was forced to export grain crops to the Soviet Union to repay the loans, resulting in food shortages. It began to try to convert pure grain wine into blended wine. After the 1960s and 1970s, it was originally  Chinese liquor, which can evoke some nostalgia in Hong Kong, has become completely feared by everyone. It was even excluded from major international alcohol industry competitions and refused to recognize its status.  In fact, blending wine has a long history and can be found in all countries.  However, many overseas countries are not only strict but also harsh on the brewing and supervision of blended wine. They only use it as a brewing process to adjust the taste. The use of various additives is strictly prohibited, with the exception of a few countries such as China.  It has to be said that in order to simulate the perfect taste of pure grain wine, the Chinese people put all their intelligence and ingenuity into it and tried countless kinds of additives. They relied on cheap edible alcohol plus various spices and additives, and through acquired chemical reactions, it turned out to be real.  It perfectly simulates the smell and taste, and some even surpass that of pure grain-aged blended wine, but apart from the taste, it has no benefit to the human body and is harmful to the human body.  Because many liquor manufacturers are major taxpayers in the Mainland, governments at all levels and food and drug regulatory agencies have turned a blind eye to whether they comply with the country's loophole-filled regulations for brewing blended liquor.  As a result, mainland blended wines, especially liquors, have not only been flooded with various additives far beyond the standard for a long time, but also are sold as pure grain aging by crazy people who want to make huge profits.  An overseas wine industry research institution once accused the various additives used in mainland blended wines not only to kill sperm but also to put a huge load on the human liver. Their safety is comparable to the inferior potato and corn blended wines produced by American black wine shops during the Prohibition period.  Drinking it can easily lead to insufficient sperm activity. In severe cases, it may even lead to short-term heart paralysis and sudden death.  Although these reports are blocked by the mainland and mainland consumers cannot see them at all, the liquor produced in mainland China has by no means represented praise overseas or even in Hong Kong since it began to be fully blended.  Even if Moutai, a national liquor that has been mythical in the mainland, dares to be sold on the counter of a store in Hong Kong, if it is not pure grain liquor, the Consumer Supervision Commission alone may cause some disputes.  Coupled with the Westernized education that has been occupied by the British for many years, liquor has become less and less important in Hong Kong. When the second and third generations born after the war grow up, liquor may become a thing of the past in Hong Kong, especially in mainland China.  Produced liquor.  Chinese people really lack due respect for other people¡¯s health!  Little do you know that if you hurt me, I will also cheat you. In the end, you will still be hurting yourself!  Zhou Taiyan came to him to discuss matters later.  According to the arrangement of ATV, they will be accompanied by staff to visit ATV on the first day. Not only will all programs including news production, weather forecast, comprehensive program production, etc. be open to CCTV, but also vocal music, makeup, screenwriters, artists, etc.  The behind-the-scenes training and film data storage library will also be fully open to CCTV visitors, and many of the visits will be completed in the new ATV Building in the Media Asia Twin Towers.  When the two buildings of Media Asia were purchased, one was already built but not decorated. After the decoration, Lin Xiaozhi used it as the headquarters of Media Asia Film Group.  The other building that had not been topped out at that time was the new headquarters he reserved for ATV.  As the headquarters of a television station, naturally it is not just a matter of choosing a commercial office building.  After nearly a year of foundation reinforcement and partial internal structural redesign, another building that had not yet been topped out when purchased was basically completed at the end of last year thanks to the efforts of the highly efficient construction team of Lai Sun Group. For this reason, Lin Xiaozhi still had to  Without the additional investment of more than 100 million in renovation costs, it would have almost reached one-third of the total price of the two twin buildings he originally purchased.  At present, ATV has begun to gradually move its offices and production equipment to the new headquarters. This will not only make it closer to Media Asia Film Group, but also make it easier to cooperate between the two companies under the same owner.  As the director of the co-production TV series "Water Margin" designated by Hong Kong, Zhang Shaolin will definitely be indispensable during the entire visit.  Because the two parties will discuss co-production matters in detail during the visit, although Zhou Taiyan can make most of these decisions, he obviously has to rely more on Zhang Shaolin when it comes to the filming of the TV series. This is why he came here early in the morning to see if Zhang Shaolin had returned.  reason.  We had breakfast together in the hotel, not long after nine o'clock in the morning.  A call came from ATV, and they sent a new sightseeing bus purchased in the second half of last year to carry this group of nearly 40 CCTV staff and lead them to visit the ATV headquarters.  "This is Broadcasting Road, located in the Kowloon Tong area in the north of Kowloon City, Hong Kong. Because of the?The only three television stations and two radio stations in Hong Kong were concentrated here, and the location is located on a small hill, so Hong Kong people are accustomed to calling it "Mount Wutai".  ¡± The person in charge of explaining the visiting CCTV staff in the car was an exchange staff member who was also from mainland China. Her name was Lu Qi. She was originally an ordinary staff member of Shenzhen TV Station. She seemed young and should be in her early twenties.  But I don¡¯t know if it¡¯s because of her family connections or because she has outstanding abilities. Shenzhen TV station is treating her as a future anchor. It¡¯s been almost two months since Lu Qi came to ATV for exchanges. She has been working on some programs. According to the past two companies.  She only needs to spend a few more months on the previous training and management, and she should be able to get the opportunity to host some midnight programs alone. Because she comes from the mainland, she understands both Cantonese and Mandarin, and she also has some knowledge of ATV.  After asking for her permission, ATV transferred Lu Qi to temporarily help receive the visiting CCTV communication personnel. The sightseeing bus drove very slowly after getting onto the broadcast channel, because not only all the TV stations and TV stations in Hong Kong were gathered here.  There are also many high-end residential areas near radio stations and other media. People who come in and out of this area are either wealthy people or celebrities. Anyone who bumps into them will cause a lot of trouble. Fortunately, the radio channel is not too long, and the car arrived quickly.  Although the ATV building was built very early, it is now the largest in Asia. Xu was informed by the doorman that Zhou Taiyan and others arrived at ATV not long after getting off the car in the courtyard.  , I saw Le Jin, the president of ATV, who I had met last night, coming out. ¡°Director Zhou, welcome to visit our ATV!  " Le Jin walked up immediately, smiled and shook hands with Zhou Taiyan, and did not show a trace of the arrogance of Hong Kong people. He may not be the best TV station manager, but he is a very dedicated manager. He knows that the boss Lin Xiaozhi has been  He began betting on his return and tried to establish a close and friendly relationship with the mainland's top management before that. Therefore, since being supported by Lin Xiaozhi last year, he has always implemented Lin Xiaozhi's strategy in cooperation with the mainland.  Don't take the blame for him, and he was scolded by many Hong Kong viewers who are used to watching ATV's various attacks on the mainland. "Mr. Le is too polite, it's us who disturbed him!  " Zhou Taiyan is also very happy that ATV is giving such a favor. Because ATV had hosted a banquet for the visiting CCTV team leaders last night, they introduced each other this time, and the focus was on introducing the handheld players who were designated to be named in Hong Kong.  After only a slight delay in filming Zhang Shaolin of "Water Margin", Le Jin took over Lu Qi's previous job and will personally lead a group of people to visit on ATV!
