Chapter 382
On Monday night, Run Run Run personally, accompanied by Fang Yihua, came to TVB's No. 1 factory. A spacious scene has been set up here. The 270-degree circular auditorium surrounds a chair in the middle, on which there are two computer screens and two high-foot revolving chairs.
Whether it is the auditorium or the host platform, they all show a very modern style, with a faintly intellectual flavor. And this is the "Millionaire" program set up by TVB in ten days.
All the staff are busy preparing, and several cameras are aimed at the central stage. Although there are no spectators, hosts and contestants yet, just looking at these staff makes people feel a kind of nervousness. Moreover, Xue Qiyi and Qian Guowei, who were the producers of the program, were personally directing the scene.
Seeing all this, Run Run Shaw nodded secretly. At this time, Zheng Yuling, the host of "Millionaire", also came to the scene. She was wearing a black professional suit, and she looked exactly like those professionals at first glance, both steady and generous.
Seeing Shaw and Fang Yihua here, Zheng Yuling hurried over to say hello to them: "Uncle Six, Aunt Six."
"All are ready." Run Run Run Shaw asked her: "This show is very important to the company. You can only succeed without fail, you know."
Although Zheng Yuling has many years of hosting experience, she has never seen Run Run so solemn, and she is not only a little nervous. Especially this "Millionaire" was not pre-recorded and then broadcasted at a specific time. In order to create a bigger gimmick and attract more audiences, Run Run Shaw directly turned this program into a live broadcast.
So at the beginning of the broadcast, the host was not allowed to make mistakes.
At this time, Shaw turned his head and asked Qian Guowei: "Guowei, ATV, what program do you plan to broadcast tonight?"
"It's still the previous TV series, without any changes." Qian Guowei smiled excitedly: "I will be the new boss of ATV when I see our set of "Millionaires". I don't know what expression he will have. "
Shaw and Fang Yihua also looked at each other and smiled, obviously also very interested in this question.
Soon it was half past nine in the evening, and from nine thirty to ten thirty is the prime time for TVB. Run Run Shaw deliberately put "Millionaire" in this period, naturally, to attract more audiences, and secondly, it also means to show off to Asian TV.
Zheng Yuling has taken the seat of the host, and the audience and contestants are all here.
After the director counted down the crowd with his fingers, a burst of lively music rang, and the camera zoomed in to take the host Zheng Yuling from a distance, and Zheng Yuling smiled at the camera and said, "Good evening, everyone in front of the TV, here It’s "Millionaire," and I’m your host Zheng Yuling."
Seeing Zheng Yuling's calm host, Shaw Shaw and Xue Qiyi in the audience were a little relieved. And then, everything was executed in accordance with the plan written in that plan, let the contestants come on stage, answer questions, use tips, etc., everything went in an orderly manner.
Soon, half an hour passed, and Qian Guowei said to Run Run Shaw with excitement: "Uncle Six, the ratings have risen rapidly, and it is approaching 30 o'clock!"
Run Run Run was very happy, but he only smiled slightly, "How about ATV?"
Qian Guowei shook his head, "There is no response yet."
"They should be in a hurry." Fang Yihua smiled: "I don't think they dreamed that "Millionaire" will be produced and broadcasted by us first."
Run Run Shaw smiled and nodded, but at this moment, a staff member trot over with an anxious expression and said to Qian Guowei: "Producer, the BA has called. Let us stop broadcasting "Millionaire" immediately!"
The staff's words changed drastically for everyone including Run Run. Before Qian Guowei could speak, Run Run Run came over and grabbed the staff's arm and asked, "What did you say? The BA asked us. Stop broadcasting "Millionaire"? What's the matter?"
This Broadcasting Authority, the Hong Kong Broadcasting Authority, is the department responsible for the management of Hong Kong's television broadcasting, which is equivalent to the domestic broadcasting and television bureau.
"I don't know the details, but the BA said that our set of "Millionaires" is infringing." Facing the top decision-maker of TVB, the staff was a little nervous, but he said it truthfully.
"How is it possible!" Fang Yihua was the first to shout, "How can we infringe!" Earlier he asked Huang Chaohong of the Customs and Robertson of the International Intellectual Property Protection Center. ATV never applied to them. Copyright patent. Moreover, Fang Yihua also submitted the copyright patent of "Millionaire" to these two organizations on behalf of TVB, and Huang Chaohong and the others have also accepted it.
Although it will take some time to officially approve this copyright patent, since they have accepted it, it means that TVB has secured the copyright of the "Millionaire".
So now that the Broadcasting Authority says that TVB is infringing, Shaw and Fang Yihua feel incredible.
At this time, Qian Guowei had already received the call from the BA and handed it to Run Run Run. Run Run Run Shaw took the phone and said into the microphone: "I'm Run Run Run."
The people on the BA were only looking for the producer of "Millionaire", but they didn't want to recruit Run Run Run. Although Hong Kong has returned now, the title of "Sir Shao" is still very famous in Hong Kong, and Shaw has a very good relationship with the government.
However, sooner or later, Shaw will be called for in this matter, so a director of the BA immediately said: "Hello Sir Shao, I am Director Tian of the BA." Although Hong Kong has returned, what Names like jazz or justice of the peace are meaningless, but the director still calls Shaw Shaw this way to show respect.
Just listen to Run Run Shaw indifferently: "Director Tian, what is going on? How did our "Millionaire" infringe? This is our original TV program, and the customs and the International Intellectual Property Protection Center have accepted us. I’ve applied for a patent, please explain to me.
He is nearly a hundred years old, and his social status in Hong Kong is very high, and his tone is very arrogant.
"Sir Shao, we don’t want this thing either. We just act according to the law." Director Tian said: "You said that your wireless has applied for a patent from the customs and the International Intellectual Property Protection Center, but it is They called us just now and said that you are infringing. They said that this set of "Millionaires", ATV has applied for a patent long ago, and you have already infringed on ATV."
"What!?" Run Run Run was stunned when he heard this. "You are not mistaken, the customs and the Intellectual Property Protection Center really said that?"
Director Tian over there smiled bitterly: "Sir Shao, how dare I lie to you. I think you should stop broadcasting this "Millionaire" first. This, it has a great impact. Ah, there is Asia TV. Documents have been formally sent, and they said they will sue you for infringement. Sir Shao, stop broadcasting, otherwise things will develop to a very serious level. If this continues, we can only cut off your channel signals. ."
Seeing Shaw's unbelievable look, Fang Yihua next to him said anxiously: "What's the matter, what did they say?"
Even Run Run Shaw was very sensible. He quickly calmed down and did not immediately answer Fang Yihua’s question. Instead, he said to Qian Guowei and Xue Qiyi: "Stop this show for me right away, right away!"
Although Xue Qiyi and Qian Guowei didn't know what happened, they immediately asked Shaw to stop broadcasting.
And Run Run Shaw also asked Fang Yihua at this time: "Yihua, Huang Chaohong and Robertson really told you at that time, did ATV not apply for a patent for this set of "Millionaires"?"
"Yeah, what's the matter?" Fang Yihua still didn't know why.
"The Customs and Intellectual Property Protection Center told the BA that ATV had already applied for a patent for this set of "Millionaires." Run Run Shaw said with a sullen face: "And now ATV is about to formally sue us for infringement."
"How...how..." Fang Yihua was also unbelievable. "But Huang Chaohong and Robertson told me that ATV did not apply for it. Also, I personally gave them the documents that we applied for a patent for "Millionaire". Yes, they also said that they have accepted it, but it will take some time for the official documents to be sent to us. I will call them to ask."
She immediately took out her mobile phone and dialed Huang Chaohong's number first. As soon as the other party answered the phone, Fang Yihua cried out, "Huang Chaohong, what is going on? Are you deliberately playing tricks on me!"
Huang Chaohong over there heard Fang Yihua's words, but said slowly: "Sister Hua, what are you talking about, why are you kidding you?"
"I haven't said that. Didn't you say that ATV did not apply for the patent of "Millionaire", and that it has already accepted the patent application for us." Fang Yihua said angrily.
"Huh? Is there such a thing? Why don't I remember?"
"You, what did you say?" Huang Chaohong's words stunned Fang Yihua, "It was that day, I didn't ask you..."
Huang Chaohong interrupted her, "Sister Hua, I can tell you that I have never received any patent application you mentioned, nor did I tell you that ATV did not apply for a patent for "Millionaire". "Millionaire" It was originally ATV’s original program, and it is clearly recorded in our files. How could they not apply."
