Chapter 216: Singing on stage

In the headquarters building of the New Arts City, Mecca, Shi Tian and Huang Baiming sat together, discussing the news of Lin Xi's return to Hong Kong from Taiwan yesterday.

"Oriental Film and Television doesn't really plan to enter the Taiwan market, right?" Shi Tian took the pipe off his mouth and asked with a frown.

"It's also possible that Lin Xi deliberately released a smoke bomb." Huang Baiming pursed his lips, picked up the coffee on the table and took a sip, "Who knows if he really went to Taiwan to fool around and was caught by the media, so he will be counted." ”

"There are so many beauties in Oriental film and television who don't go to the bubble, but go to Taiwan to find women, do you really think he is a rabbit who doesn't eat the grass by the nest?" Shi Tian shook his head and directly rejected Huang Baiming's statement.

"Maybe he wants a change of taste?" Huang Baiming argued unwillingly.

Seeing that the two were about to quarrel again, Mecca had no choice but to stand up and be a peacemaker.

"Okay, what we're talking about now is whether Oriental Film and Television will enter the Taiwan market in a big way, what do you do with Lin Xi and which woman? Regardless of whether he goes to Taiwan to find a woman or not, it is his own business, what do we care about? ”

"Regardless of whether their final goal is the Taiwan market or not, it is nothing more than a soldier to block the water and cover the earth, and it just so happens that there is no winner in Hong Kong, and everyone is fighting it out in Taiwan." Huang Baiming's words are very tough, but he is a bit of a boast, in fact, Xinyicheng has always been suppressed by Oriental Film and Television Company in Hong Kong.

Of course, in the past, Golden Harvest and Lin Xi teamed up, two against one, and Huang Baiming was not convinced when he lost, but for the Taiwan market. Everyone is considered an outsider, and it is up to each one to win or lose.

At this point, Huang Baiming is still very confident.

"I think there's something else going on. What do you think, how could a person like Lin Xi, who thinks very highly of himself, choose a person like Ke Junxiong with a poor reputation and poor strength to cooperate? Think about it from another perspective, if it were us, would we cooperate with Ke Junxiong? ”

Shi Tian's question silenced both Mecca and Huang Baiming.

After a while, Mecca nodded slowly.

"I don't think it's that simple, but I'm afraid there's no point in talking about it now. The key is that there must be someone in Taiwan who can calm the scene, and Wu Yusen originally hoped that he could open up the situation, but now watching his films over there is not popular at all. I'm afraid we'll have to send someone over again. ”

"It's not appropriate to send anyone, so let's just make one ourselves."

Huang Baiming just said this casually, but he didn't expect Mecca and Shi Tian to think it was a good idea.

Because the idea was put forward by Huang Baiming, the task of the screenwriter naturally fell on his head. Huang Baiming himself has no opinion. And so it was settled.

The three of them had just discussed when a phone call came in.

Mecca got up to answer the phone, Shi Tian and Huang Baiming continued to smoke pipes, and the other continued to drink coffee, neither of them paying much attention to it.

Unexpectedly, Mecca picked up the microphone and immediately changed her face.

He made a quiet gesture to Shi Tian and Huang Baiming, and then began to talk on the phone seriously.

"Mr. Lin, why did you suddenly remember to call me?"

Mr. Mak laughed. I'd like to call you from time to time, but there's no reason to call! Lin Xi's slightly ridiculous voice came from the microphone.

Shi Tian and Huang Baiming glanced at each other. They all got up and came over.

Mecca pressed the hands-free button and laughed out loud and said, "So Mr. Lin is there something wrong?" ”

"Of course, there is nothing to do without going to the Three Treasures Palace!" Lin Xi didn't know that Mecca was not the only one on the other end of the phone to listen to him, and said: "My company will hold a cocktail party tomorrow night, and I hope Mr. Mai can enjoy it then." ”

"Is this a private invitation?" Mecca did not answer immediately, but asked more.

"Of course not, if it is possible, I hope that Mr. Shi Tian and Mr. Huang Baiming can also come together, because Sanmao and his group of brothers are also here, and it will be more lively for everyone to be together."

As soon as Lin Xi said this, Mecca knew that this was an open invitation from the company to the company, not to a certain person.

If Lin Xi just sent out a private invitation, Mecca could still have an idea, but now he had to look at Shi Tian and Huang Baiming, and ask for their opinions with his eyes.

Shi Tian and Huang Baiming didn't hesitate to nod their heads in agreement.

"Since Mr. Lin is invited, then we might as well be respectful, by the way, your company will not only invite us to the new art city, right?"

While officially replying to Lin Xi, Mecca also tested Lin Xi's tone by the way.

Although Lin Xi had mentioned just now that Hong Jinbao would attend on behalf of the newly established Debao Company, in Mecca's view, Debao Company is actually just a subsidiary of Oriental Film and Television, and the two sides are not separated at all.

"Of course, it's not just Xinyicheng, but we also invited Golden Harvest and Shaw Brothers, and there will also be some media friends who have a good relationship with Oriental Film and Television."

Lin Xi didn't say why he wanted to hold a drinking party on the phone, but Mecca always had a hunch that something big should happen at this drinking party.

Zou Wenhuai, who has the same idea as Mecca, has just received an invitation call from Lin Xi, although he promised to attend, but he has some doubts in his heart that he can't solve.

The difference is that Zou Wenhuai's old partner He Guanchang is not by his side at the moment, so Zou Wenhuai can only pick up the microphone again and dial a number to go out.

"Guanchang, you put aside the things in hand first, come to my office, I want to discuss something with you."

After putting down the microphone, Zou Wenhuai sat there with his hands folded and pondered what had just happened, until the office door was gently knocked.

He Guanchang pushed the door and walked in, Zou Wenhuai stood up and pointed to the sofa next to him.

The two of them walked to the sofa together and sat down, and soon two cups of hot tea were brought in by the secret technique.

Zou Wenhuai picked up the teacup, blew it gently, then raised his eyes to look at He Guanchang, and told him what Lin Xi had called just now.

He Guanchang thought that the tea was hot, and he didn't touch the cup all the time. listened to what Zou Wenhuai said very seriously, and at the same time looked at Zou Wenhuai's expression when he spoke, and probably already had some judgments in his heart.

"What kind of trick do you think Lin Xi is planning to play?"

"Before coming. I just got a message from the media that there might be some connection. He Guanchang said and glanced at Zou Wenhuai, obviously waiting for his decision.

"Tell me about it."

Zou Wenhuai frowned slightly, obviously a little interested in this matter.

"Oriental Film and Television released news to relevant media, saying that it is being terminated with Taiwanese film companies, and there may be some plans for film cooperation in the future."

As soon as He Guanchang told the news, the wrinkles on Zou Wenhuai's forehead deepened a little.

"How reliable do you think this information is?"

"It's hard to say." He Guanchang gave an ambiguous answer very rarely. "Judging from the current situation, Lin Xi has just taken over the Shaw Brothers Cinema Line, although he has withstood our joint suppression with Princess Jin. But the foundation is not stable, and the funds he used to buy the Shaw Brothers Cinema Line were borrowed from Pan Disheng, so the first thing he should consider is how to repay the money first. Judging from the profitability of the several films that Oriental Film and Television is currently investing in, it will take at least two years to achieve this. In this case, we will enter the Taiwan market. Not a wise decision. ”

Zou Wenhuai nodded, he thought so at first, but there was one thing he couldn't figure out.

"Lin Xi is really a bit difficult to figure out, although it is rare to make such a career at his age, but I always feel that this is not his limit, it seems that what others can't do can be done in his hands. So I'm afraid it's not that simple. ”

He Guanchang was deeply convinced of Zou Wenhuai's statement, but he also couldn't guess it. What kind of medicine is Lin Xi selling in the gourd this time.

"Isn't Oriental Film and Television going to hold a press conference in the afternoon? There should be some clues to show at that time. Zou Wenhuai said to himself.

He Guanchang nodded silently, he had already ordered people to pay attention to this matter before, and as soon as there was movement over there, news would come back immediately.

――

Throughout the morning, Lin Xi spent all his time on the phone.

There are a lot of guests invited to tomorrow night's cocktail party, although there will be a formal invitation sent later, but some of them still need Lin Xi to call in advance to invite first.

After calling Mecca and Zou Wenhuai respectively, Lin Xi followed up and called Pan Disheng, Hong Jinbao and Yuan Heping, and then Lin Shu also notified him, and Xia Meng would definitely attend at one time.

As soon as he finished making a phone call, Zhao Yazhi, who was wearing a black skirt, pushed the door and walked in.

Seeing Lin Xi's legs on the desk, looking leisurely, Zhao Yazhi glanced sideways angrily, and deliberately complained: "Sure enough, the boss moved his mouth, and his subordinates broke their legs!" ”

Lin Xi smiled disappreciably, walked over and closed the office door, turned around and hugged Zhao Yazhi from behind, resting his chin on her round and plump shoulders and teasing, "Sore legs?" Go to the couch and I'll rub it for you. ”

"Stinky bastard, and you want to take advantage of others!"

Zhao Yayi twisted her body, broke free from Lin Xi's arms, glared at him and said, "People went to the hotel to confirm the venue in the morning, and they helped Miss Lin contact the makeup artist, and they haven't rested until now, but you are sitting in the office very leisurely!" ”

"Don't look at me relaxed, in fact, this one is more tiring." Lin Xi leaned on the edge of the desk and pouted at Zhao Yazhi: "You don't know how many of my brain cells died this morning." ”

Zhao Yazhi dragged a chair from the side and sat down, gently hammering his tired legs with his hands.

"Do you want to tell me that set of principles of 'those who work hard govern people, and those who work hard govern people'? I'm just a little girl, and I don't want to hear you talk to me about this uselessness. ”

Lin Xi secretly glanced at Zhao Yazhi's beauty wrapped tightly in a tight skirt. The legs, under the flesh-colored stockings, look particularly delicate and perfect, and suddenly have the urge to reach over and touch it.

"Here, I'll rub it for you."

He pulled a chair and sat down, but unfortunately as soon as his hand was stretched out, he was pushed away by Zhao Yazhi.

"Don't mess around, get down to business!"

Lin Xi retracted his hand and shrugged his shoulders to indicate that he was listening.

"Today I took Miss Lin to try on clothes, if I wore a little looser, I could barely cover my pregnant belly, but fortunately she was not pregnant for a long time, if it was two months later, I couldn't cover it if I wanted to."

Although Zhao Yazhi said this, Lin Xi was still a little uneasy.

"Just in case, I think so, put a row of tables in the venue, and sit down to answer questions from reporters, so that no one will find out."

Zhao Yayi is right, if a sharp-eyed reporter sees a clue, it will be a big trouble.

It takes half a day to explain who the child in the womb is, not to mention that even if it is explained, not everyone may believe it.

As soon as he thought of this terrible consequence, Zhao Yazhi felt that no matter how cumbersome the precautions were, it was necessary.

"By the way, how is Aaron's preparations?"

"It's all arranged on my side, there shouldn't be any problems, and then tomorrow night I will talk to Sanmao and them in advance, if there is something on the stage that Ah Long can't handle, the people below should help take care of it."

"What about the others?"

Lin Xi looked at Zhao Yazhi with some puzzlement.

"Anyone else?"

"Don't pretend to be confused with me, your Miss Zhong and Sister Zhou, you didn't tell them either?" Zhao Yayi looked at Lin Xi with a suspicious face, obviously not believing that he would be so honest.

Lin Xi raised his hand and swore an oath: "Absolutely not, now you and I know about the entire company, what's the use of telling them about this kind of thing?" ”

"Your sister Zhou won't think much about it, but Miss Zhong may not!"

Zhao Ya's words carried some faint vinegar, although she knew that she and Lin Xi could only maintain the current relationship, but really looking at Lin Xi with other women, it was impossible for her to say that she had no idea at all.

Lin Xi still didn't understand what Zhao Yazhi wanted to say.

"What's wrong with Miss Zhong? It has nothing to do with her! ”

"The company signed Miss Lin, and it was a press conference and a cocktail party, are you deaf and dumb when everyone else is deaf and dumb, can't you hear or see anything? Why Miss Lin can have such treatment, the real reason can't be said, but you can't stop everyone from guessing! Zhao Yazhi reminded.

Lin Xi finally came to his senses and understood what Zhao Yazhi meant.

"Is there already someone complaining in front of you?"

"You don't need to know this, anyway, you are the boss of the company, and you have to make your own ideas on how to balance the ideas of the people below, and I can't help you much in this regard."

As soon as Zhao Yazhi said this, Lin Xi felt that he had to pay serious attention to this issue.

It's time to find Zhong Chuhong to have a good "chat" alone. (To be continued......)
