Chapter 294: Bow to the wind
At 9:00 a.m., in a dining and tea hall in Wan Chai.
This is an ordinary tea restaurant called 'Come and Go', in addition to the strange name with a hint of Zen flavor, a qiē is very ordinary, just like the large and small tea restaurants all over Hong Kong, if you really say that the place is not ordinary, at most it is a little long, so that this tea restaurant has a little historical touch.
It was such an ordinary tea restaurant, but there were two unusual people sitting in it.
took a sip of milk tea, looking at Lei Juekun who was quietly eating egg tarts in front of him, Xiao Jian didn't speak, even though he had been sitting here for half an hour since he walked in, and the two of them didn't talk a few words, just ate their own breakfast.
Speaking of Hong Kong, tea restaurants are a very common dining culture, and these older generation of business tycoons are also very fond of putting the place to talk in this kind of tea restaurant, whether it is Run Shaw, Jin Yong, or Qiu Degen among the people he knows.
The reason why the two are sitting here today is to discuss the release of "Smiling Proud Jianghu: The Undefeated East" in Hong Kong.
After Xiao Jian contacted Zou Wenhuai, Lei Juekun and Qiu Degen yesterday, he first discussed the replay of "Smiling Proud Jianghu" with Qiu Degen, so this morning the news appeared in the newspaper, which caused public opinion that is getting hotter and hotter, and also made Run Run Shaw and TVB the focus of public opinion.
Among the remaining two, Xiao Jian finally chose Lei Juekun in front of him to become his other partner and gave up Zou Wenhuai.
The reason for this choice is that his works are the icing on the cake for Zou Wenhua, but for Lei Juekun, it is a send-off in the snow, and it is naturally obvious how to choose; Second, compared with Zou Wenhua's domineering, he still prefers to cooperate with the 'talkative' Lei Juekun in front of him.
Of course, there are some other calculations besides these, and if the plan goes well, then the person in front of him will become another unbreakable partner of his, but that will be for later.
At 9:30, the two left this ordinary tea restaurant one after another, and "Smiling Proud Jianghu: The Undefeated East" also decided to premiere tomorrow night, and the day after tomorrow Saturday was officially released in Hong Kong's Golden Princess Cinema.
In fact, after Xiao Jian walked into this tea restaurant, the two of them didn't say more than ten words in the first half hour, and the remaining half an hour was very pleasant, but it was just a small talk, and there was no mention of anything about the release of the movie.
In fact, this is a very common thing in Hong Kong, when two people have business cooperation, as long as the other party invites you to the meeting, it means that the other party has already agreed, and asking you out is just a feeling or something, as for the general cooperation matters that are the business of the people below, as the boss just orders to go down.
…….
"Hong Kong's No. 1 commercial director Xiao Jian's latest masterpiece "Smiling Proud Jianghu: The Undefeated East" is scheduled to premiere at Golden Princess Cinema on Friday night on June 13, looking forward to your visit."
In the evening, when the news of Xiao Jian's cooperation with ATV and his disagreement with TVB spread more and more, after the news was announced separately in the media of Princess Jin and Xiao Jian's cooperation, the whole Hong Kong was silent in an instant, and everyone couldn't help but look in the direction of TVB again, and many people also showed gloating expressions again.
First, the TV side cooperated with TVB's opponent ATV, and then the film side cooperated with the Shaw Brothers' opponent, the Golden Princess standing behind the new art city, Xiao Jian and Run Run Shaw's disagreement The news instantly resounded throughout Xiangjiang, and finally there was a trend of spreading to Southeast Asia.
A series of news that seemed to be true began to appear in newspapers and streets, and gossip news spread throughout Hong Kong in an instant.
I don't know who spread the news in the back, anyway, the next day, the news that Xiao Jian ran away in anger because Run Run Shaw didn't give a schedule that night spread throughout Hong Kong, making this entertainment storm break out in an instant.
………
Run Run Shaw stood in front of the floor-to-ceiling window in the study, looking at the brightly lit city outside with a complicated expression, and the old atmosphere exuded by his body could no longer be concealed.
"It's worthy of Xiao Jian, and he really doesn't show any mercy when he moves, this is forcing me to make a statement."
Whispering to himself for a moment, Run Run Run Shaw couldn't help but ponder, and began to think about how to deal with it next, as for the past, he didn't care much about it, and the people who released the news that he and Xiao Jian didn't agree with each other were just a few, just think about who would benefit after the two people fell out completely.
Of course, Run Run Shaw did not exclude Xiao Jian, after all, as soon as this news was released, Xiao Jian undoubtedly stood on the moral high ground, even if he completely fell out with him, most of the people would not blame Xiao Jian, but would throw all the fault on his head, and even many people would scold him for being dizzy or something.
These are not what he has to think about now, after all, things have happened, and this time it is indeed his bad move, and if he loses, he can only consider himself unlucky, what he needs to consider is how to solve this matter, that is to say, how can he make Xiao Jian angry.
This time he did something wrong first, so as long as he didn't want to completely push out the cash cow of Xiao Jian, he had to give in, that is, to stand in line between Xiao Jian and the Xiang brothers.
Of course, things haven't come to that point yet, and he doesn't really need to choose between the two, it's just that this time he has to make concessions, that is, to give up some of his own interests to let Xiao Jian lose his anger, which is the price that the loser must pay, and he is the loser now.
"Today's young people are getting more and more powerful, and it's not okay to be dissatisfied."
…………
In the study of Xiao Jian's family.
"Well, no problem, okay, wrap it up on me, goodbye."
Looking at Xiao Jian, who hung up the phone, Zhou Huimin opened his mouth and asked, "It's so late, whose phone is it?" ”
"Uncle Six, ask me for a few movie tickets for the premiere tomorrow night." Xiao Jian replied with a smile on his face.
Hearing this, Zhou Huimin's eyes couldn't help but light up, and he said happily: "So the sixth uncle is softening with you?" ”
"Sort of." Xiao Jian nodded in response, and he was also very happy in his heart, knowing that there were not many opportunities for this old fox to open his mouth to admit defeat, and he could not be unhappy.
"I knew that Brother Xiao was the best, and even the old fox who slammed the door of the sixth uncle was defeated."
"Thanks for the compliment, anyway, it's not too early, you should go home and sleep."
"Oh, it's so late, my mom and they should all be asleep, I won't go back to disturb them, let's sleep here today."
