My name is Karen from the department of management, and Im your MC for this evening.Some of you may wonder how this talk came about, actuall

4、y it is through a conversation between the case manager and myself, about how much we want to find a young, successful Asian business leader, and someone who all our undergraduate students can relate to. And the he said well, Karen have you heard about the founder of the post production office limit

5、ed, Nicholas Tse? And I said Perfect!So, with the tremendous support of the post production office limited, we give you our delivering of the first Asian leadership series. So thank you very much for coming.So, since this talk is especially for you students, the whole event is going to be hosted by

6、students. So the format is this: The first 20 minutes or so Mr. Nicholas Tse is going to share some of his experience and insights with us, and that will be followed by an about 45 minute chatting session between the 3 student interviewers and Mr. Nicholas Tse, and then well be round up by a 15 minu

7、te Q&A session. So may I now invite the 3 student interviewers, Jocelyn, Mandy and Nathan to the floor please. So before we officially kick off the event, just a friendly reminder of some simple house rules. First can you please switch your mobile phones to silent mode, and secondly, no laptop, comp

8、uter, no live recording, and third, I understand everyone is very excited but please remain seated during the event. And, last but not least, if you want to leave the lecture theatre during the event, can you please use the doors at the back.So, without further ado, can I please invite Professor Rog

9、er King, director of the Centre for the Business Case Studies and he himself a highly successful business leader to kick off the event.Professor King: Thank you all. Its really a great, great honor and privilege for HKUST to have Mr. Nicholas Tse here. First of all I would like to also thank our pre

10、sident Tony, to be here, and our dean Brandon Chan, and of course many other honored guests, but, most importantly, you students.I think this is probably one of the biggest events weve ever had. Just to let you know Nicholas the registry opened and within hours, it was totally full. In fact, this ro

11、om only holds 400 people. Within a day and a half, we had 1700 people sign up, and they clearly didnt come to see Tony. Nor me. But anyway, I was asked to say a few words about our case center, and many of you may or may not be aware of it, we have a case center here in HKUSTs business coup, which i

12、s relatively new. And let me just tell you why we started this thing. It was actually the encouragement of our Dean and basically most of you probably aware of the notion of the case study itself. For those of you who may not understand, case study actually brings in real-life business situations in

13、to the classroom by writing cases on that company usually, and but we also back it up with theory, and allow students to actually analyse the situation itself. So by having said that, there are a lot of other schools particularly Harvard, Ivy league and many many other schools do write cases. So why

14、 should we be writing cases? Well one of my colleagues Professor pang here and what we did was before I said to Leonard “Yes we will do this” because he asked me to do it on a proposal base I might say. So I said “Well, before we actually do this lets take a survey and understand what are we current

15、ly do in our school and who uses the case method.” And so we did was we actually took a survey for all the faculty members that are teaching the MBA program itself. OK and what we discovered was first of all at the encouragement of the Dean we actually had 2/3 of the faculty responded to the survey

16、over 66% and what was discovered was that students actually like class that have cases in it. NO.1, they gained higher scores for class that had that, so for those of you who are teaching this is great news. The second thing is that (they) actually like the professor thats teaching it. And the third

17、 thing was how come we always study western company cases, why dont we have more Asian cases? And therefore our main main focus is now on Asian. In fact, my colleagues and I （某人名）as well, have now coined the concept Asian cases by Asians for Asians. Now its not to say that someone from Harvard they

18、ask for a case we dont give it to them. But I would hope that in a few years, they would actually come to us and ask for cases. Why? Because a Harvard professor their thinking-class is very very western. They dont really understand how businesses are conducted in this part. And hence thats our prima

19、ry goal here. And we are also very very lucky that many of our faculties now have been supporting the concept itself and in fact even though 10-year system in the school doesnt necessarily recognize those centres involved in writing cases or even teaching cases, but we are moving along that long. So

20、 this is the purpose of that and in fact many our cases we are able to invite honoured guest to come but more importantly in the classroom sometimes. And I recall one of my cases the individual that came to the class, this is the person that actually in the case itself, he said to me “Roger, you kno

21、w what? This is great! Im getting so many good suggestions from students. In fact, its the cheapest consulting service Ive ever had” so you know the whole idea is you need to participate for you students in this room. And its a great great opportunity to analyses real-life situations.So Im sure agai

22、n that youre not here because you want to listen to me. So it gives me great pleasure, and Nicholas really needs no introduction, but here today hes coming as a entrepreneur, a business hes founded, several years back, when he was only , guess how old? 22! That was only yesterday right? And he has a

23、 very very successful business. He has an office here in Hong Kong of course, as well as in Shanghai I understand.So, without further ado, I would like to invite Nicholas to come up.NIC: Hello. Thank you for the warm welcome. AndLadies and gentlemen welcome and thank you for having me on campus. Thi

24、s is truly overwhelming. Really. Im instructed to deliver a speech in English. So therefore I will be speaking in English. But if any of you prefer to speak in Cantonese or mandarin, please feel free to do so. I do hope that at the end of the session, both parties you and I will gain something out o

25、f it and leave behind somewhat, to take it as memory, all right? Wow, this is really intense right now, for me, really, maybe because this is my first time to show up as an entrepreneur, in front of the crowd. What is very odd is that Ive been doing this most of my life. I have been giving speeches

26、and performances, and talks around the world. The crowds ranging from 30 people to 130,000 people, but never have been so uptight and nerve-racking. Maybe its because I am simply put in front of a crowd of academics. And I feel that Im not actually out of myI do feel Im talking to another caliber; I

27、m left out. So the first point is really to tell you I dropped out of school in grade 10. And I urge you really to go through your education. Most of you I think have gone half way. Really. Might as well go all the way and grab that piece of paper! If I had the chance to take all the wealth and so c

28、alled fame and glory that I have right now, and buy back 15 years of life, but keep the knowledge that I have now and relive the physique I had 15 years ago and trade places with you right now. I would make that trade in a heartbeat, really. I dropped out school when I wasmaybe in grade 10, and ever

29、 since I set put into the so called business world. There has not been a day that has gone by without me hating myself regretting that I did not fully commit to my education. Maybe fine arts, agriculture, architecture, ceramicswho knows, I dont know. MBA. But, I dropped. And every day that has gone

30、by, I do regret. Some of you may not feel it right now. But that diploma when you are trying to close a deal with someone, it means just that much more. When you are trying to convince someone to an idea, concept, something new, that piece of paper will just mean that much more and people will judge

31、 you, and theyll doubt you that much less. That is reality, and it has been hard for me butso I think Im here to hopefully convince you to go through, go to the education, go all the way, grab that piece of paper before you leave. OK? Do not walk the path Ive ever gone through. So for the people who

32、 did not know, I have been running a so called post production business for the past 9 years. And thats what I do apart from the acting or the singing part, the entertainment part. Theres also the business part of Nicholas Tse. We are based on Hong Kong right now. We have a sub branch in Shanghai, i

33、ts going very well. We are going to open in Beijing in the endhopefully the end of May. Can I say that, please? Because we are in a rush and everything is really.so Im looking at my colleague whether we can pull it off at the end of May. When I say post production its actually to a lot of people a v

34、ery foreign term. So what is post production? Post-production is I mean but by audio dubbing, online editing, offline editing, compositing, animation, computer graphicsall that good stuff. Actually, everything you see right now on television, advertising, was, or in the cinema, or even in the intern

35、et. Every visual image you see right now is actuallyit hasit should have undergone the process of post-production in order to achieve a certain standard of broadcast quality. And just by saying that Im very very happy to say that it has already obvious very high demand, or else I will not be here to

36、day. And sofor a more visual explanation of what I do, I would like to show the company reel andThese are some of the brands that we do represent in Hong Kong or in the mainland China right now. Some of you may recognize or may not recognize it. OK?Thank you. Thats some of these brands that we repre

37、sent at the moment, butwhat you have just seen is the pretty side of the production. I would actually like to show you some of the before and after as to actually how we make a living. So what Im about to show you, is asomething called the Canon G12 model. It is an advertisement shot 2 years ago by

38、a very famous crew. But, why dont I show you. Here you see in front of the green screen, just aits merely a model holding a camera. And all it isits just actually a track back show of this modelits quite not up to the entertaining partThis is the source that we got when we first accepted this projec

39、t. We have taken the initiative to talk to the producer and director and sayhey, why dont we do something more interesting and something that is to the next levelgraphic wise and socan we show the next layer? So with audio and visual enhancementeach layer by layer you can see that inch by inchthis i

40、s what we do to enhance the visual effectfor the outcomeAfter 1160 and some more layers and modelling put onto this image, you got the finished productthats it. All right, thats one more full version or finished version. There you have it. And thats what we do for a living. For people do not know, p

41、ost production thats we do, andso any question so far? Why dont I ask you a question. Who in here wants to be successful? Raise your hand if you wanna succeed. Coz I sure as hell do. Whats preventing you from raising your hand? Anyway, second question, and the more important: whos lying? Because Im

42、pretty sure you out there and you ask people, “who wants to be successful?” 99% of people would tell you, I want to succeed. I want to be the best basketball player; I want to be the best hockey player; I want to be the best artist, engineer, whateverThey will talk. But most of you want to succeed.

43、But are you truly being honest to yourself? Whereas you found your passion, you know your strength and weaknesses, where to place yourself in the market, how you want people to see you and how to project yourself in a market. I founded this company because, at the age of 22 and 3, between that time,

44、 I was on set, on a movie set. And, I saw the director go up to the CG, computer graphics guy in the department and ask them could we actually, I wanna do this take the computer graphic image and do this and, he hesitated, froze, and I thought, wowSo, that stalled for an hour or so, but, ticking, ti

45、ck tick tick, all that is money. And he called back to his headquarters, and asked for the allowance to say: They want to do this and that, so can we pleaseAfter days of freezing, multimillion dollars was lost during that process. And at the time I was releasing a lot of music videos, I was doing a

46、lot of concerts, and advertisement and movies, I wanted to enhance the visual effects myself, and I thought wow, this should be our realm. Thats our profession, why are we doing so poor in it?So then, if some of you may have read through my interviews, that I did sell my property, for a certain amou

47、nt of money to invest in this business. I started off with 4-6 people, and I bought 1 or 2 second hand machines to start it off. And, luckily, I am here today. But, what message I wanna get through is, it seems like Nicholas Tse gambled everything away for the future. I didnt. It is a gamble, but, b

48、efore I bought those second hand machines, I actually calculated and talked to a few producers and we signed contracts for 3 movies, 2 advertisements, and 3 music videos so that wed cover my one and a half years overhead, ahead of time. So if I was to fail, I somewhat had a safety net, that I wont j

49、ust kill myself because I sold my house, sold everything, what I have left. So I did have a bit of a safety net. I dont want to give the wrong message out to the public that he just sold everything, so we can do that too. Please do not.Alright, so, when I was saying, be honest to yourself if you wan

50、t to be successful, because, some of us say we want to be successful but, we dont wanna succeed more than we wanna sleep. We dont wanna succeed more than we look cool，and go to the . tonight , we dont want to succeed more than hanging out with friends，going to a cinema，you must be honest to yourself

51、 and find your automatic passion, so therefore, are you willing to sacrifice all these temptations to prevent you from practicing your art? I dont believe the saying of practice makes perfect, to me, there is no perfection, there should always be room for improvement, practice to me, practice makes

52、permanence, you will only have a much higher probability not to mess thing up, but there is no perfection. Thats to me. Any questions so far?These 3 guys are actually really intimating right now, because it feels like that at any moment theyre gonna chuck some intellectual question like ninjas darts

53、.GIRL: this is the question from us.BOY: you basically answered about half of question already, soNIC: because the angle you sitting, the angle you sitting,Q: So, really thanks for your brief introduction, and a warm welcome to todays Asian leadership series again, so just before our conversation be

54、gin, would you prefer us to call you NIC or just Nicholas (yes) so, ah, NIC, as we know that you have established a very successful company and we know, we have saw a sample work from Canon, we want to know what is the greatest challenge when you starting up your company?NIC: The greatest challenge

55、really is to earn trust of clients at the age of 23,because it is a human natural instinct not to believe in someone 10 or 20 years, younger than you, and to establish that trust is a reputation, but that together, it takes time. And we started offer really miniture size work, and earned the trust o

56、f some directors and said, you know, are you guys ready go to the next level? I personally say yes, but then what Ive learnt is that saying yes doesnt mean anything, because no one wants to fall, and it is a cruel world out there. People will start blaming stuff, and say well, nic, he screwed it up,

57、 its not me.So, what Ive done, what I change to these years, I dont say yes any more, I go back and ask my team do you think do this ,and if so, why dont we do a 30 seconds demo to shut their mouth , So the hardest part, the hardest challenge is to, I think for any business is to earn the trust. act

58、ually, mentioning that, I myself, I ,ever since I was little, I love Hong Kong action movies, I still do, I really do, its all my passion ,being honest to myself, I love action movies, and I am willing to put my life on the line, literally, if it takes, and to protect HK action. So 10 years ago ,I m

59、ade myself a promise, that if Im gonna be in this business, I wanna, I wanna be an action star, at least participate in one of Jack Chengs cool movies, or the Jet Li movies or the Donnie Yen movies. I will show you this, actually, it is more a present to my son, it is a 2 minutes video for his first

60、 birthday, some of my favourite stunts, please do not try this at home, because what youre about to see for the next 2 minutes, I have been training for12 years, and a lot of luck is involved, thats why Im saying practice only makes permanence, because the more I do this in this chance, I will die.
