"What do you mean?" Li Xuan asked in surprise.

Ye Zhiming smiled playfully, and then said slowly: "You have written so many songs, don't you think about releasing a record yourself?" It's not bad for me to hear you sing. ”

Putting on your own record?

Li Xuan was slightly stunned, Ye Zhiming's words reminded him of the scene when he first came to Hong Kong looking for music theory teachers everywhere. If he hadn't happened to meet Wang Jin, and then stepped into the movie industry, I'm afraid that he would be writing songs or releasing records and being a singer in some group of people now.

Ye Zhiming's words made Li Xuan very moved, but ......

"I'm releasing records, are you sure you can sell them?" Li Xuan asked suspiciously.

Ye Zhiming glanced at Li Xuan with disdain, pointed to the monitor in front of him and said, "How did you release Xu Xijie's album of "Smiling Proud Jianghu"? ”

"Forehead ......"

Li Xuan raised his eyebrows, it turned out that Ye Zhiming had such an idea, and the song with the release of the movie is indeed a sure way to make money without losing money, especially after everyone knows that Li Xuan's movie is guaranteed.

After thinking about it slightly, Li Xuan said hesitantly: "Okay, I promise you, but when are you going to sign a Taiwanese female singer?" ”

Ye Zhiming was overjoyed when he heard the first half of the sentence, but he was directly stunned in the second half of the sentence, and reacted and hurriedly asked: "What are you signing for a Taiwanese female singer?" ”

"One of the best songs in my movie is sung by women, and men can't sing that feeling, so let's just make this album a compilation album." Li Xuan explained casually.

Ye Zhiming frowned, and said suspiciously: "Isn't it okay for female singers in Hong Kong?" ”

"Well, it's okay, as long as she can speak Chinese." Li Xuan smacked his lips and continued: "Cantonese dubbing with Cantonese songs, Chinese dubbing with Chinese songs, this is my consistent style, you don't want me to help others cultivate singers." ”

"That's right, but a Hong Kong female singer who speaks both Chinese and Cantonese ......" Ye Zhiming touched his chin with some worry.

Li Xuan patted Ye Zhiming on the shoulder and said, "So I suggest you find a Taiwanese female singer, even if they can't speak Cantonese, they can learn quickly and speak decently, which saves you a lot of trouble." ”

"Okay, that's it, I'll book a ticket to Taiwan." Ye Zhiming suddenly slapped his thigh and stood up, turned to Li Xuan and said, "You hurry up and write the songs of the album, and I'll be back soon." ”

"Then I'll wish you success!"

Li Xuan watched Ye Zhiming run out in a hurry and shook his head slightly, then lay down on the director's chair and started to take a lunch break, he had written those songs early in the morning.

Miserable beyond!

Several episodes in "Heavenly Love", in addition to the classic Li Xuan familiar with "Dream Chaser", he knows several songs of beyond. It's not that he likes beyond much, it's that when he first entered high school, the solo player just became popular, and as a result, there were a few Beyond fans in his class who played Beyond songs with the solo player every day. As a result, three years later, he has become a pseudo-fan, and most of the songs of this beyond are quite godlike.

It's just that I don't know where a few people from beyond are squatting at this time?

In May 1982, Hong Kongers were most concerned not about the crash of a plane in Chinese mainland at the end of last month, which killed more than 50 Hong Kongers, or about who would win the upcoming Hong Kong sister final.

The most important thing to watch now is that the most prominent and beloved Governor of Hong Kong, MacLehose, is about to leave this post and return to England. The British, who proposed the public housing plan, established the Independent Commission Against Corruption and carried out a series of administrative reforms, finally held a grand and solemn resignation ceremony on May 8.

Li Xuan also saw the status of this Englishman in the hearts of ordinary citizens in Hong Kong.

On the evening of May 8, 1982, MacLehose and his wife officially bid farewell to the Governor's Office, and they took a special car to Queen's Wharf, passing through Garden Road, Des Voeux Road Central, Pedder Street and Connaught Road Central. At this time, Li Xuan, who was waiting in Edinburgh Square with a group of political and business people, was stunned by this simple and solemn scene. With the arrival of MacLehose and his wife, cheers rang out in the square, and MacLehose waved to everyone to thank him.

As a result, although MacLehose and his wife were sent away, the whole of Hong Kong was as lively as during the Chinese New Year for most of the night, and the people expressed their reluctance to the outstanding governor of Hong Kong.

But this is just the general public, as for those in the political and business circles, what should they do the next day.

And Qiu Degeng, who was helped by Li Xuan, also spent 130 million Hong Kong dollars to buy 61% of Lishi's shares from the three Australian consortiums without competitors.

Then Qiu Degeng convened all the shareholders of Lishi and held his first shareholders' meeting after becoming Lishi.

"Hello, Mr. Li!"

As soon as Li Xuan walked into the door of Lishi, a young boy walked over, looking at this kind-faced guy, Li Xuan stretched out his right hand suspiciously and asked, "Eh, hello, may I ask who you are?" ”

"Oh, I'm sorry, I forgot to introduce myself." The young man smiled: "My name is Qiu Dacheng, and my father must have known Mr. Li for a long time." ”

"Aha, it turned out to be the fourth son of the Qiu family, forgive Li for being clumsy!" Li Xuan also smiled with a sudden understanding.

"Mr. Li is here to join the board of directors, please come here." Qiu Dacheng waved his hand and said.

Li Xuan also stretched out his hand and said, "Please!" ”

Qiu Degeng has many children, and there are eight children when you count them carefully. Among them, the eldest son Qiu Dasheng has been managing the company in the United States for many years because he opposed his father's renewal; and the second son, Qiu Dachan, followed his father to take care of the affairs of the Far Eastern Group, controlling the business worth more than one billion; The third son is a daughter Qiu Meiqi, who was taken over by her when Ye Zhiming's Binbin selling.

And Qiu Dacheng, the fourth son who had just returned from school, appeared here, obviously Qiu Degeng wanted his fourth son to help take care of Lishi's affairs.

The two walked all the way up to the fourth floor and pushed the door in, but Li Xuan found that there were already many people sitting in the conference room, and then Qiu Dacheng pointed to the four people sitting at the conference table and took turns to introduce: "Hello everyone, this is Mr. Li Xuan, another director of Lishi. Mr. Lee, a director of Macquarie at Standard Chartered Bank. ”

"Hello!" Li Xuan shook hands casually with this ghost guy, since this is McCarry, then the other ghost guy should be the director of Jardine Matheson.

Sure enough, then Li Xuan heard Qiu Dacheng pointing to another ghost guy and introduced: "This is the director of Jardine Matheson." ”

"Hello!"

Li Xuan also dealt with it simply, and then looked at the next two young people with great interest.

"This is Mr. Xu Jinhe from China State Construction Group." Qiu Dacheng pointed to a young man with glasses.

Li Xuan nodded and responded, "Hello!" ”

The name Xu Jinhe should not be familiar to anyone, but his uncle Xu Shixun is a famous tycoon in Hong Kong, the spokesman of China State Construction Group, and the son of Xu Aizhou, the first generation of Hong Kong's ship king. And Xu Shixun has a son named Xu Jinheng, who later married Li Jiaxin, the most beautiful Hong Kong sister in Hong Kong. It's just that Xu Jinheng was still studying in the United States at this time and did not return to Hong Kong to help his father take care of affairs.

As for this Xu Jinhe, although he is the son of a big house, his father died as early as 9 years ago, and their branch has gradually declined. The current China Construction Group, because his second uncle Xu Shifen's health is not good, is in the hands of the third uncle Xu Shixun.

The last remaining director is Guo Zhiliang, the representative of the Guo family, who started as a department store. After Li Xuan casually greeted the four shareholders for a while, he quietly waited for the arrival of the main owner, Qiu Degeng.

At present, among the major shareholders of Lishi, Qiu Degeng's Far East Development owns 51% of the shares, Jardine Matheson owns 11% of the shares, Standard Chartered owns 11% of the shares, Li Xuan's Xuanyuan owns 10.2% of the shares, Xu's China Construction Group owns 6.8% of the shares, and the Guo family's Yongan Department Store has 5.3% of the shares.

And Li Xuan has also become the fourth largest shareholder of Lishi.

As for Qiu Degeng's temporary board meeting today, its purpose must be to make it clear that he has become the owner of Lishi, so that Li Xuan, the remaining shareholders, should not think nonsense and keep to themselves.

Sure enough, after a while, Qiu Degeng walked over with two middle-aged people, and Qiu Dacheng, the fourth son who had been greeting guests for him, also quickly retreated to the side.

"Guys, I'm sorry! It's busy, and it's a little late. Qiu Degeng apologized casually, then sat on the chairman and said: "Presumably you already know about the change in Lishi's equity now, I don't know if you have any objections?" ”

Nonsense! What can be disputed from this? Can you still spit out the shares that you ate in your mouth......

Looking at the people who were all sitting quietly and not expressing their positions, Qiu Degeng nodded and said, "Okay, since everyone is clear." I'm going to tell you what I'm going to do next, so that I can give you peace of mind. ”

"That's the first." Qiu Degeng slowed down, and suddenly said to the cableway: "I plan to change the name of Lishi, the previous name is too inconsistent with the image of our Far East." ”

As soon as Qiu Degeng's words came out, there was a sudden uproar in the office, everyone whispered timidly, and Li Xuan's heart also jumped a little.

This is, Lishi is going to change the name to ATV's rhythm?

After a long time of excitement, the ghost guy McGarry spoke first: "Mr. Qiu, I don't know what name you want to change?" ”

"Well...... I haven't figured it out yet." Qiu Degeng looked at everyone and continued: "I don't know if you have any opinions? ”

Li Xuan suddenly sat up straight and said, "Mr. Qiu, since you want to do a big job, why don't you call Asia TV?" ”

"ATV?"

Qiu Degeng thought about it and touched his chin, he really hadn't thought of a new name for the TV station yet. Originally, the acquisition of Lishi was the product of his flash of inspiration, and it has only been three months since the idea came up. As a result, after negotiating the shares, they were busy receiving this mess, and some other trivial matters were delayed.

"I think it's a good name, it's atmospheric!" Xu Jinhe of the Xu family echoed on the side.

"Then let's tentatively call it Asia Television, and if you have good opinions about the name in the next half month, you can also put it forward." Qiu Degeng didn't drag his feet at all, and solved one thing in a blink of an eye, but he continued: "Well, the next thing is how we should clean up the mess about Lishi, and then I will introduce you to two people." ”

"Zhuanglie, Xiaoming, come, get to know the directors!" Qiu Degeng stretched out his finger and pointed to the two middle-aged people who had just come in with him.

Looking at the puzzled expressions on everyone's faces, Qiu Degeng continued: "Many people don't know each other very well, but I think Mr. Li Xuan should know each other. ”

"Hmm!" Li Xuan also nodded with some confusion and continued: "Mr. Li Zhuanglie and Mr. Xu Xiaoming are both my old-timers in the film and television industry, and it is impossible for me not to know them. ”

"Haha-"

Qiu Degeng gave Li Xuan a thumbs up and said: "Mr. Li is really the leading figure in the film and television industry, and he has a wide range of contacts, these two are Mr. Li Zhuanglie and Mr. Xu Xiaoming, who are directing and acting in the film and television industry." And the two of them are about to join our big family, Mr. Li Zhuolie is the director, and Mr. Xu Xiaoming is the program manager, everyone is welcome! ”

"Bang Bang-"

There was a burst of sparse applause in the office, this year, the top management of Lishi has always changed, and those old Lishi people have long been accustomed to it. Even if Qiu Degeng praises these two new high-level executives to the sky now, it is estimated that they don't have much feeling.

"Ahem—"

Qiu Degeng coughed awkwardly, looked at Xu Xiaoming and said, "Xiaoming, I have a big task to hand over to you next." ”

"Mr. Qiu, you say!" Xu Xiaoming, who was a little obsessed, said.

"Do you know the Hong Kong Film Awards?" Qiu Degeng asked.

Xu Xiaoming nodded in response: "I know." ”

"I invested in this year's Hong Kong Film Awards, and I plan to do it bigger, and by the way, I will promote it for our TV station." Qiu Degeng knocked on the conference table, swept around the sit-in several directors, and continued: "I have asked them to hold this year's Academy Awards in late June, so you have a month to prepare, and I hope to see the live broadcast of this Academy Awards at that time." ”

"Live?"

Xu Xiaoming and Li Xuan were stunned, there was no live broadcast of the awards of Hong Kong and Taiwan in recent years, and even last year's Golden Horse Awards were recorded, for fear that there would be problems during the live broadcast, but no one expected Qiu Degeng to make such a ruthless move as soon as he came to power.

"What, is it difficult?" Qiu Degeng frowned and asked.

"Forehead......" Xu Xiaoming was slightly stunned, and then responded: "No, no." ”

In fact, live TV technology has long been available in Lishi, for example, in October last year, Lishi applied microwave technology for the first time, and broadcast live in Guangzhou"Provincial and Hong Kong Cup Football Match", since then microwave broadcasting has been widely used in live news. And now that Qiu Degeng asked him to broadcast the Academy Awards live, there is only the difficulty of scheduling and commanding, but can a manager say that these things are difficult?

Listening to Qiu Degeng and Xu Xiaoming's questions and answers, Li Xuan smiled lightly, compared with last year's downfall, the Academy Awards this time can be described as a shotgun change. Qiu Degeng is just for the sake of Asian Television's face this time, and he will not let the second Academy Awards be too frustrated, and it is estimated that there will be excitement at the end of June.

The next meeting was to talk about all the little things, such as changing the logo of Lishi by the way, Qiu Degeng asked about it, this old guy is showing the sovereignty of Lishi all the time.

A rather boring board meeting lasted for more than an hour before the group broke up, and several directors came out of the Lishi building and said goodbye to go home, Li Xuan also looked back at the Lishi building and slowly paced home.

"How? Did your Lishi shareholder meeting go well? As soon as Li Xuan entered the door, Zhong Chuhong, who was lying on the sofa watching TV, raised his head and asked.

"Smooth, why didn't it go well watching Old Man Qiu perform alone." Li Xuan leaned back on the sofa and continued: "By the way, you won't be able to watch Lishi's TV series in a few days." ”

Zhong Chuhong asked in surprise, "Why?" ”

"Old man Qiu plans to change Lishi's name." Li Xuan said slowly.

As soon as these words came out, Zhong Chuhong immediately glared at Li Xuan, and scolded with a smile: "Go, scare me, I thought Lishi was going to close the door." ”

"Haha!" Li Xuan smiled: "It cost him 100 million, will he buy it and close it?" ”

“……”

"Hey, why don't you speak?" Li Xuan lightly approached Zhong Chuhong and asked, "Wouldn't this be angry?" ”

“……”

Looking at Zhong Chuhong, who still didn't answer, Li Xuan scratched his head and said without words: "That, why don't you go to Cannes with Sister Hua and them?" ”

The 35th Cannes Film Festival in France opened on May 14, 1982, "The Story of Hu Yue" as a screening film, although it did not participate in the competition unit, but the director Xu Anhua and the starring Zhou Yanfa and Miao Qian all flew over to participate in the film festival, and Li Xuan's film "Heavenly Love" had to stop for a week and wait for the actor to return.

It's just that Zhong Chuhong, who is the protagonist of "The Story of Hu Yue", did not follow everyone to Cannes this time.

"What are you doing over there? Watching a movie? I'm not interested" Zhong Chuhong rubbed his fluffy hair, and said quite depressedly: "And this time it's Fa Tsai and that Miaoqian person mixed together, wouldn't I betray Yulian if I went!" ”

This, the friendship of women is so strange!

Li Xuan raised his eyebrows and asked suspiciously, "Don't you go over and look at Ah Fa, aren't you afraid that this time you will really back the Yulian?" ”

"He dares!" Zhong Chuhong said viciously, but then she frowned again, and immediately jumped to the phone and muttered: "No, I have to call Yulian to remind her to remember to check her post at any time." ”

“……”

Li Xuan rubbed his forehead vigorously, this is a woman! (To be continued.) )
