68-year-old Zeng Zhiwei serves as the general manager of TVB this year, changing from an artist to an administrative work.
Before he officially started work, the outside world was worried that he could clock in and go to work on time with the habit of being late. As a result, it turned out that after being bound by a sense of responsibility, Zeng Zhiwei changed a lot. He became the kind of boss he had complained about before, setting an example and not indulging any employee who was late and leaving early.
TVB senior executive Le Yiling revealed that Zeng Zhiwei held meetings with various departments on the first day of work and had no meals all day, and he himself wanted to have 36 hours a day to handle all the work.
Zhi Wei hopes that TVB can regain its former glory. He does his best to achieve his mission, hoping to break the "mountain culture" within a year, and then hand it over to those who are suitable for administrative work, while he continues to be a pure artist.
The so-called "mountain culture" is related to the history of TVB. Several senior executives each occupy the "mountain", snatching each other's company resources, and promoting their artists to the top to ensure the stability of their senior executives.
What Zeng Zhiwei has to do is to break the "mountain culture" and unite more than 3,000 employees across Taiwan to make the cake bigger.
Friend Chen Baixiang said that Zeng Zhiwei loves work. He is like an perpetual motion machine and is unwilling to stop. This is also the biggest reason why he still returns to TVB work at the age when he should retire.
Zeng Zhiwei is not short of money, he has career ambitions.
On October 24, Zeng Zhiwei accepted an exclusive interview with Hong Kong media, saying that he is very "Buddhist" at this stage. He has no pressure on life and devotes himself to fighting for his dreams. His four children (he has given birth to two daughters with his ex-wife and two sons with his second wife) have grown up and have his own life. As a father, Zeng Zhiwei feels great comfort.
In his interview, he said that he would not leave his wealth to his children, and he would spend all his money in his lifetime.
Zhi Wei has been in the entertainment industry for many years, and Hong Kong media speculated that his net worth is over 100 million yuan.
In fact, this number is conservative. Zeng Zhiwei sold a luxury house last year. He bought it 30 years ago and now it is worth over 100 million yuan. In other words, Zeng Zhiwei has made 100 million yuan with this luxury house alone. He has many houses under his name. It can be guessed that his net worth is definitely astronomical.
In 2017, Eric Tsang spent HK$2,000 to buy a horse, but he won HK$16 million, with amazing luck.
Not only has a high status in the entertainment industry and stable income, he also makes investments in multiple aspects and is a shrewd person.
Tsang Zhiwei once said that he handed over most of his assets to his wife Zhu Xizhen. Mrs. Zeng died of illness last year and the assets returned to Zeng Zhiwei's hands. The first thing he did at that time was to sell his luxury house and cash out nearly 100 million yuan.
Hong Kong media revealed that Zeng Zhiwei is generous and treats guests to dinner almost every day. He knows that artists in the entertainment industry have difficulties, and he will also lend a helping hand. He has the ability to make money and the motivation to spend money.
Zhi Zhiwei was in office for 9 months at TVB. At first, he felt difficult to adapt because he was used to being a day and night when he was an artist. He suddenly became a white-collar worker who lived a nine-to-five day and went back to the office every morning to handle a lot of business, which gave Zhiwei a headache.
Zeng Zhiwei smiled and said that at first he had to get up early and go to work was like going to the execution ground. In addition, he had to deal with countless meetings every day, which made him very tired. "I used to have no sense of responsibility and had the habit of being late. In fact, I was late to tolerate my subordinates to be lazy with me, so now I will definitely be on time at work."
Zeng Zhiwei did not dare to say that he was fully qualified for the position of general manager, but he was willing to accept challenges and would try to shoot different types of programs to drive the development of the industry.
He is committed to cultivating new people and does not resist working with new directors and screenwriters. He has tried to hold meetings with producers in the company. Everyone freely proposes programs that are interested in shooting, and then it is decided by everyone.
Zeng Zhiwei has been in the industry for many years and has gained fame and fortune in the entertainment industry. Now he has no desire for money.
He said: "In my outlook on life, money is not the most important. I often say that the money I earn in this life must be spent in my life, because I can't take it away and I can't make it all. Money is no longer the most important at my age."
Zeng Zhiwei once won the grand prize, and many people would wish him a prize again. However, his idea is the opposite of everyone, "I thought to myself, give me tens of millions of yuan? How can I use it? You guys Is it bad to win the prize? If you think about it this way, your life will be happier. As the saying goes, let go of yourself, you will be strong without desires."
Zhi Wei's son has developed well in the director industry. Zhiwei said that he has never helped any child, and he will let them grow up on their own. If there is any help, it may be to find a mentor for them. For example, his son has Chen Kexin care, and his daughter learns from Ng Junru .
In Zeng Zhiwei's view, he does not need to leave any property for his children. "The child cannot develop, it is useless for you to leave money for him. The child is capable, what should you leave money for him?"
In the past two years, Zeng Zhiwei has stayed in Hong Kong for more time. During his wife's illness, he accompanied the other party on his last journey and had more time with his children.
When talking about family, Zeng Zhiwei sighed, "I have explained my career to myself, but the hardest thing is the family. I spent a lot of time in the entertainment industry. My children did not understand me when they were young. Now that their children have joined the entertainment industry, they have begun to understand my difficulties."
In recent years, Zeng Zhiwei's friends and relatives have left one after another. Faced with the sorrow of parting, religion helped him get out of the haze.
Zeng Zhiwei started to come into contact with religion at the age of 40. In the first half of his life, he felt that many people and things were inevitable. Now he learns to cherish them and participates in poverty alleviation charity from time to time. Helping others is like helping oneself, learning to cherish blessings, and he will not force himself to pursue anything.
