Chapter 51: Refusal to Meet (Part 2)

Xu Qing, Eben, and Carlyle were chatting with wine glasses, and a man suddenly ran over, and Carlyle immediately blocked in front of Xu Qing.

The first to run in front of Xu Qing was Mayne, who took a few breaths and said:

"Hello Mr. Xu, I'm Mayne, the production manager at MGM, and our senior vice president, Mr. Mackay, wants to meet you, and he is waiting on the other side of the meadow, hoping you can say yes. ”

Xu Qing was about to speak, but several more men ran up to him and hurriedly said:

"Mr. Xu, Mr. Rooney, our senior vice president of Warner Bros., would like to meet with you, and I hope you can agree. ”

"Mr. Xu, our senior vice president of Colombia, Mr. Clark, would like to meet with you and hope that you will agree. ”

……

Mayne was anxious, blushing and saying thickly: "Don't you know the rules of first come, first served, we MGM are the first to invite Mr. Xu, and you are the back." ”

A middle-aged man with a big back combed said with a smile: "Mayne, we don't have a first-come, first-served rule, we only look at whose invitation Mr. Xu agrees, I don't think you MGM can do it." ”

"Jefferson is right, Mr. Xu's invitation is the key point, and a company that is not capable, even if it is the first invitation, Mr. Xu will not agree. A middle-aged man with gold-encrusted glasses chimed in.

The middle-aged men who came from behind immediately made Mayne speechless.

Xu Qing looked at the language exchange of these middle-aged men in surprise, he hadn't spoken yet, these people had already spoken a lot.

They seemed to think that Xu Qing didn't exist, and mocked each other, and said that Xu Qing had to agree to the meeting invitation of one of their companies.

This is Xu Qing's grievances that he doesn't understand several Hollywood giants, who not only form an alliance to resist foreign forces entering Hollywood, but also want the other party to go bankrupt immediately and then be acquired by their company.

Now they all want the movie rights to "Harry Potter and the Philosopher's Stone", which are direct competitors, and it is not normal not to mock each other.

"Ladies and gentlemen, I don't seem to have agreed to your invitation to meet. Xu Qing had to remind these people out loud.

Coming to the Graham Charity Gala today, Xu Qing expected that someone from the film company would want to meet him.

After "Harry Potter and the Philosopher's Stone" became popular in the United States, many film companies came to the door to get the film rights of "Harry Potter and the Philosopher's Stone".

There were even film companies in Europe, Asia and other regions looking for Xu Qing, but Xu Qing refused all of them.

One is because the film rights of the Harry Potter series will be left to Sunlight Films.

The second is because of the current film technology, which cannot show the various magical scenes of Harry Potter.

Making "Harry Potter and the Philosopher's Stone" into a movie now will disappoint many book lovers, and the box office will not be much better.

It's just that Xu Qing didn't expect that these Hollywood giants would be so eager to want the film copyright of "Harry Potter and the Philosopher's Stone".

As soon as he came to the meadow, these men ran up to him, knowing that he might not come to the Gramm.

"Mr. Xu, Mr. Mackay really wants to meet you, and I hope you can agree. ”

When Mayne heard Xu Qing's words, he didn't care about arguing with those people, and hurriedly said.

McKay and he emphasized a lot of secondary invitations to Xu Qing.

It's okay that Xu Qing didn't attend the charity gala, but Xu Qing did, but he didn't invite Xu Qing to meet, which would make McKay feel that he was very incompetent.

Although he couldn't understand why Mackay would attach so much importance to Xu Qing.

MGM had asked Xu Qing several times to meet before, but they were all rejected.

In Mayne's view, Xu Qing's refusal was a slap in the face of MGM.

MGM's assets are tens of billions of dollars, while Carney Media's assets have just reached $10 million, and even Carney Group, the parent company of Carney Media, has assets of only a few hundred million dollars, and the two are not at the same level at all.

Now let him invite Xu Qing to meet for the first time.

In order to complete the task ordered by McKay, he had abandoned his always mature and stable image, and when he saw Xu Qing appear, he immediately trotted in front of Xu Qing.

Mayne could imagine what people who knew him would say about him when they saw him trotting on the grass.

If McKay knew what Mayne was thinking now, he could only feel sad.

The reason why MGM is in trouble right now is because there are many people like Mayne who think highly of themselves.

They hold the idea that MGM is the best in the world, and despise new technologies, small companies, small directors, and small actors.

The consequence was MGM's slow decline and trouble.

"I came to the Graham Charity Gala to contribute to charity, not to talk about business. ”

Xu Qing said lightly that the main purpose of his coming to the charity gala was to find a suitable object and donate some money by the way.

Chatting with the presidents of these companies would affect his ability to find a suitable partner, so Xu Qing declined their invitation to meet.

"Mr. Xu, we are really very sincere. Mayne sweated from her forehead.

Several other people also immediately spoke out, hoping that Xu Qing would agree to their invitation to meet, but Xu Qing firmly refused.

These people left in frustration, Xu Qing didn't care, he had to leave the film copyright of "Harry Potter and the Philosopher's Stone" to Sunlight Film and Television Company.

Therefore, Xu Qing firmly refused the invitation to meet those Hollywood film companies from the beginning and did not give them any thoughts.

"President, Xu Qing refused our invitation to meet, I asked many times, but he didn't agree. Mayne returned to McKay to report on the results of the invitation.

"How did Xu Qing refuse?Did he agree to meet with other film companies?" McKay gently turned the wine glass in his hand.

Xu Qing said that he came to the Graham Charity Gala to contribute to charity, not to discuss business, and he also refused the invitation of other film companies to meet. Mayne said Xu Qing's exact words.

"Well, I went to him personally after the party started, hoping that he would give me a face. Mackay once again took a sip of the scarlet liquor from the glass.

Xu Qing's refusal was expected by Mackay, which is why he sent Mayne to invite Xu Qing to meet.

Xu Qing had already refused several invitations to meet before, but this time Mackay sent Mayne to invite first, so that Xu Qing would not be embarrassed to refuse him.

Otherwise, it would be embarrassing for him, a senior vice president of MGM, to personally invite him and be rejected.

But now that Mackay heard that Xu Qing had also rejected the invitation to meet with other film companies, he changed his mind and decided to invite him personally.

McKay knew about the film companies that had been turned down, and they would not invite Xu Qing in person again.

Originally, McKay wouldn't have been, but now that MGM is in a predicament, he can put down his hair and invite him personally.

In the final analysis, it is still interests, and the interests of "Harry Potter and the Philosopher's Stone" are too great, and Mackay is tempted.
