"Your sister opened a cosmetics store?" Don't you say that your sister also graduated from the University of Hong Kong and is proficient in Russian and French, such good conditions are rare in Hong Kong, why don't you go to a big company to apply for a job, but go to open a cosmetics store?" Cui Muqing asked suspiciously.
While being puzzled, there was also an indescribable shock in her heart, after this period of communication, she knew a lot of things about Ouyang Yaqing.
For example, Ouyang Yaqing's life experience - more than ten years ago, when Ouyang Yaqing was only 8 years old, because of an accidental fire, several family members, including her father, were killed in the fire, and it happened that her mother took their sister downstairs to play and escaped.
Since then, they have been in a difficult situation, and their mother not only has to earn money to support the family, but also to provide for them to go to school.
It wasn't until several years later, when they started working to earn money after middle school, that the family situation was slightly better. But the good times didn't last long, in the fifth year of their middle school, one day they suddenly fainted, and when they were sent to the hospital, they had no surgery, and then heard the doctor say that it was caused by overwork.
In this way, they became orphans, but they did not give up on themselves, but cheered up in their grief, studied and worked at the same time, and finally both were admitted to the University of Hong Kong, where they not only graduated with honors, but also mastered two practical foreign languages.
It took a lot of perseverance and determination, and she asked herself if it was her, it would probably be difficult to do it. No wonder Ouyang Yaqing's personality is so independent and strong.
"It's not like me, she changed companies five times within two years of graduating, and each time she was forced to resign because she was harassed by her boss. Later, she may have been a little discouraged, and simply did not work for the company, but opened a cosmetics store by herself, and the business seemed to be good. ”
"In comparison, I'm more tolerant.,Changed jobs three times in two years.,Originally, this time I resigned from Lihui's appearance and planned to go to my sister's shop to help.,I just met the boss recruiting a secretary.,So I tried.,I didn't expect to be really selected by Sister Qing.。 ”
Cui Muqing looked back at Ouyang Yaqing, who was lying beside him, with a hot figure above his waist completely exposed to the air, and said with a smile: "You are so capable and beautiful, of course I chose you, but aren't you worried that the boss will harass you?"
"Don't worry, the boss was willing to donate bone marrow in order to save Wan'er, it can be seen that he is not a bad person, even if he has thoughts about me, as long as I don't want to, he won't use it if he wants to. Ouyang Yaqing is very confident in Wei Xiong, and I don't know if it's because Wei Xiong is her idol.
"Then would you like to?" Cui Muqing asked casually.
After only a moment of silence, Ouyang Yaqing shook her head: "He is very good, and I am also very tempted, but he is too attentive, and it is difficult to achieve results with him." ”
As she spoke, she looked at Cui Muqing and said with a smile: "But if you want to Sister Qing, I have no opinion, and I won't mind." ”
"You girl, you still ridiculed your sister, see that I don't spare you. Cui Muqing stretched out his hand and spared Ouyang Yaqing's armpit.
"Hahaha, don't want it...... I...... I surrendered...... Hahaha...... No......" The room immediately resounded with the laughter of two women, but the frolic did not last long, and a seductive moaning filled the bedroom......
"Shibo, what do you think?" Wei Xiong took a sip of tea with a faint smile on his face.
Shao Yifu smiled and said: "Hehe, young people are enterprising, I agreed to your proposal, but I don't know how much you plan to invest." ”
"The initial investment of 200 million Hong Kong dollars, not enough to add later, you and I have half of the shares, but I want the management of the company in the future. ”
When Shao Yifu invited him to have afternoon tea, Wei Xiong knew that most of the investment in the construction of the new film and television city had been completed, so he was not surprised at this time.
Directly said his intentions.
"Well, the initial investment of 200 million is about the same, and the management rights can be given to you if you want. However, I have a suggestion that you might as well listen to it. ”
"Speak, Shibo. ”
"Qiu Degen and I have a good relationship, his Far East Investment Company is mainly engaged in real estate development, Songcheng is the main work, Songcheng tourism has been very good in recent years, and there are a lot of crews who go there to film, and the environment is indeed better than that of Qingshuiwan Film and Television City. ”
Therefore, if you want to develop large-scale projects that combine film and television city, tourism, and even real estate, Qiu Degen is a good partner to work with. ”
Hearing this, Wei Xiong nodded secretly, the Far East Investment Company was originally mainly engaged in real estate development, and I heard that Tang City would be built recently.
It can be seen that the Far East should be very experienced in building such a large-scale ancient building complex, and if the two sides can cooperate, it can indeed save a lot of trouble in the construction of the film and television city in the future.
In addition, Shao Yifu mentioned Qiu Degen, which reminded him of the huge real estate market in the mainland in the future.
It might be a good idea to start with Kenneth now. So after pondering for a moment, he had already made a decision in his heart.
As for whether the relationship between Shao Yifu and Qiu Degen is really good?
He didn't doubt that.
Although TVB and ATV competed at the time, sometimes in order to overpower each other, they engaged in some dirty methods, but they were all commercial.
The personal relationship between the two is still good.
"Yes, if Qiu Lao is willing, the shares can be opened in three parts. ”
"If I were the only one to work with him, of course he wouldn't want to, but it's different with you. Shao Yifu said with a smile.
Since he wants to cooperate, he has to consider his own interests, and it is obviously appropriate to bring Qiu Degen, who has rich experience in this field, into the group.
After talking about business, the two chatted about other things while drinking afternoon tea. chatting and chatting, it didn't take long for the topic to turn back to Qiu Degen.
"In the past two days, there have been reports in the newspaper that Qiu Lao plans to change ATV's shares?"
"Yes, there is such a thing. ”
"At the beginning, ATV was taken by Qiu Lao from the British-funded consortium with great difficulty, why did he suddenly want to change hands?" Wei Xiong knew that ATV would be sold to Lin Baixin.
But I don't know why.
According to some public information, although ATV did not make much profit last year, it did not lose money, why did the ambitious Qiu Degen want to withdraw his hand?
Could it be related to poaching ATV's actors?
But he thought of Wei's encroachment on ATV. Now, except for a few, the little flowers of ATV have all been voted for Wei's.
Including Michelle.
In the face of the great exodus of its artists, it is not impossible for Qiu Degen to sell ATV to Lin Baixin a year earlier than he remembers.
"Huh. Shao Yifu glanced at Wei Xiong and wanted to say that you didn't ask knowingly, but in the end he didn't say it, but said something else.
Qiu Degen started by playing movies in the countryside, and in his heyday he was even known as the 'New Territories Film King', and later had to temporarily give up movies because he wanted to focus his funds and energy on money, real estate and other businesses, but he still remembered the film career. ”
Later, he bought Leigh's TV at that time, probably just to understand his young wishes. Now that ATV has come back to life in his hands, after a few years of glory, his wish should be fulfilled, and while the situation is not too bad now, getting rid of it is the best choice. ”
It is said that it is not your relatives who know you best, but your enemies.
That's true.
Shao Yifu and Qiu Degen have been fighting for so many years, and the two sides have won and lost each other in the business field, but in his heart he has a rough idea of Qiu Degen's mentality.
"It looks like ATV is going to change hands soon. Wei Xiong said lightly, and directly ignored Shao Yifu's words of 'while the situation is not too bad now'. Wei's means are at most fueling the fire, and the reason why ATV will have the current situation is still in itself.
It's like TVB.
If it weren't for today, there wouldn't be so many people who want to leave TVB.
"It's the same if it changes hands, it's not easy to change hands, now that Phoenix Satellite TV's signal covers the whole of Hong Kong, it's a matter of time before it replaces ATV's position, he Lin Baixin takes over at this time, hehe, I'm afraid it's a hot potato. Between the words, Wei Xiong seemed to be very unimpressed with ATV.
In the original history, after Lin Baixin took over ATV, after some rectification, ATV flourished for a few more years, and it was inseparable from TVB.
But that was not going to happen.
With Phoenix Satellite TV's strong entry into the Hong Kong TV market, ATV's already small share was rapidly compressed, especially after the broadcast of "Run, Brother", not only the ratings of the program were amazing, but also the ratings of other programs of Phoenix Satellite TV have also increased to varying degrees.
And "Run, Brother" has only been broadcast for one episode.
In addition, Phoenix Satellite TV will launch a new program "If You Are Honest, Do Not Disturb" this Saturday, this program is also planned by Wei Xiong himself.
The title fee alone sold more than 12 million.
Although it can't be compared with Running Man and "Sister Over Flowers", it is by no means comparable to any previous entertainment program.
With these two programs as the locomotive, I believe that Phoenix Satellite TV will soon be able to open up the situation, and it is not impossible to compete with TVB in the future.
Many people can see this. Lin Baixin, who has been crisscrossing the mall for decades, can't see it?
If he hadn't had other plans.
It's just that I'm too confident in my vision and ability.
At this time, Wei Xiong thought of Lin Baixin's son Lin Jianyue, as far as he knew, Lin Jianyue's Jianye Film Company has been making a lot of moves recently.
first invited Lin Zhengying to shoot the zombie film "Uncle Zombie".
Later, Sammo Hung himself served as the director to shoot the horror film "Ghost Feet", and the heroine was Sammo Hung's girlfriend Gao Lihong.
The two fathers and sons seem to want to show their strength in the Hong Kong entertainment industry.
……
Shao Yifu has never been a dragger, after breaking up with Wei Xiong, he called Qiu Degen in the car, and as soon as he told him about the situation, Qiu Degen immediately showed great interest, and asked Shao Yifu to have morning tea the next day, and then talk in detail.
Wei Xiong received a call from Shao Yifu at noon, and the result was naturally that Qiu Degen was willing to join.
Next, the three parties held several consultations on the details of cooperation.
In the end, the absolute three jointly invested 200 million Hong Kong dollars in a ratio of 3 to 3 to 3 to establish Longcheng Development Co., Ltd., with Qiu Degen as the president of the company and Wei Xiong as the chairman of the board of directors.
However, because the land has not yet been obtained, the company has not held a press conference. Of course, the land purchase application has already been submitted to the Shenzhen Municipal Government.
The site is located on the shore of Xiangmi Lake in Futian District, with a total area of 1,000 acres. Of course, this is the area of the application, and it is not known how big it will be in the end.
The reason why they chose Futian District is that it is close to Hong Kong, and the surrounding mountains and rivers around Xiangmi Lake are beautiful, which is a good place to build a film and television city.
The only bad thing is that the transportation is not too convenient, but this is only temporary.
At present, Shenzhen-Shenzhen City is already planning a major arterial highway covering the entire city, and it should be greatly improved when the film and television city is completed.
However, Wei Xiong's considerations are slightly different from those of Shao Yifu and Qiu Degen.
In his memory, although the area around Xiangmi Lake is still very desolate and there are not many people, it will become the central area of Futian District in the future.
Although if the film and television city is really built on the shore of Xiangmi Lake, the future planning of Fu-Tian District will definitely be different, but it will never deviate from its roots.
After all, Shenzhen-Shenzhen City is so big.
Interestingly, when he and Qiu Degen met for the first time, Qiu Degen was quite warm and polite to him, and there was no dissatisfaction in the slightest.
didn't even mention that Weiss poached people on ATV, as if it had never happened.
In this regard, while Wei Xiong greeted him with a smile, he couldn't help but slander in his heart, these old guys who have been in the mall for decades are all smiling tigers.
Of course, he didn't believe that Qiu Degen was really not dissatisfied with him in the slightest.
But dissatisfaction is a thing of the past.
On the third day of the establishment of Longcheng Development Co., Ltd., Qiu Degen finally signed an agreement with Lin Baixin.
sold all the ATV shares in his hands to Lin Baixin. At this point, ATV ended the Qiu Degen era and ushered in the Lin Baixin era.
……
“…… Recently, many people in ATV have contacted the company and want to jump ship, but except for a few, the other contracts have not yet expired. ”
"If all these people are paid liquidated damages first, not to mention a huge expense, it is also a question of whether they can earn back the liquidated damages in the future. ”
Zhao Wenbo answered Wei Xiong's question truthfully, and Wei Xiong nodded while listening.
He had just seen the news of ATV's change of ownership from the newspaper, so he immediately called Zhao Wenbo, the person in charge of Wei's brokerage, over.
Any company, no matter what kind of company it is, must be the most impetuous when its boss is replaced.
Because no one knows what will happen to the company with a new boss.
To put it bluntly, I don't know if I can stay in the same position. And this kind of worry, the profession of an artist is even more so.
Even if you are in charge, you have to worry about what if the new boss doesn't like you and supports others?
These are very real problems.
That's why he wanted to learn about the situation with Zhao Wenbo, and it turned out that things were as he guessed.
"What you said makes sense, now that Wei's agency has passed the stage of rapid expansion in the early stage, the threshold for artists to join must be raised. ”
Zhao Wenbo agreed: "I think so too, so this time, except for a few, I didn't agree to help pay the liquidated damages." ”
"Knock knock knock. Ouyang Yaqing pushed the door in: "Boss, Mr. Xu is here." ”
"Let him in. ”
"Since Mr. Wei and Mr. Xu still have something to do, I won't bother, and I will report to you in time if there is an important situation. ”
"Hmm. ”
Wei Xiong nodded. The reason why he didn't let Zhao Wenbo take the opportunity to fall into the well this time was that Wei's agent had indeed passed the stage of rapid expansion in the early stage.
The main reason is that the artists that ATV really interested him in have basically voted for Wei's. For the remaining small shrimps.
He doesn't mind opening the net.
"Mr. Wei, do you have something to look for me?"
"Well, sit down and talk. Wei Xiong gestured to the chair opposite.
"How's the filming of "Huanzhu Gege"?"
"It's very smooth, because when we filmed "Joking about Qianlong" before, we had already repaired several palaces in the Forbidden City, and this time we filmed "Huanzhu Gege", which saved a lot of time. ”
"But ......"
"But what?" Wei Xiong frowned slightly.
Xu Xiaoming smiled helplessly: "That Qiong Yao is really worthy of her reputation, and I can't help but ask the actor not to modify any lines she wrote." ”
And as long as the actor's performance is slightly disagreeable with her, she will lose her temper, I heard that Zhou Haimei has a few scenes, maybe she is not emotional enough to cry, and she is scolded and cried. ”
Frowning and groaning for a moment, Wei Xiong finally shook his head helplessly.
Since he gave Qiong Yao power, it is best not to interfere while the scene is still filming, so as not to affect the filming progress of "Huanzhu Gege" when the time comes.
"Don't talk about her, as long as the drama can be filmed well, you take this script, I just wrote the outline of each episode, and you organized people to flesh out the content. ”
"Then show it to me, and if it's okay, start shooting. ”
Xu Xiaoming picked up the script in front of him, opened it and took a look, and there were three big words written on the first page - big era.
"Modern drama?"
Just by looking at the name, Xu Xiaoming knows that this is a modern urban drama.
"Well, there are also family grievances related to the stock market, you go back and study it carefully, and it's best to give me the full script within half a month. ”
"In addition, I hope that the male number one Ding Crab in the play will be played by Qiu Guan, but his recent schedule seems to be a little tight, so try to coordinate with him. ”
"No problem, I'll organize a screenwriter to write a script when I get back. ”
Xu Xiaoming closed the script, recently Tianheng Film and Television has set up its own screenwriting department, after all, you can't always let Wei Xiong write the script for the company in person.
Companies should learn to be self-reliant.
However, because of the experience of "Joking about Qianlong", his requirements for the script are much higher than when he was in ATV, and he has killed two scripts in a row in the past few days.
It was quite a coincidence that Wei Xiong came up with this script outline today.
