After Xu Xiaoming came back from the set, he heard the assistant talk about it, and was thinking about whether to call Wu Zhenyu to ask clearly, when the phone on the desk suddenly rang.

Qiu Degen called and asked Xu Xiaoming to go to his office.

Putting down the phone, Xu Xiaoming's mind was full of wondering what Qiu Degen was looking for him at this time, so he could only put Wu Zhenyu aside in advance.

A few minutes later, Xu Xiaoming came to the door of Qiu Degen's office, raised his hand and knocked on the door.

"Uncle Gen, are you looking for me?"

Qiu Degen raised his head and saw that it was Xu Xiaoming, and immediately stopped what he was doing and beckoned him to come and sit.

"Xiaoming, your "Huo Yuanjia" will be broadcast tonight, how is it, are you confident?" Qiu Degen picked up the teacup and found that there was no water in it, and was about to call the secretary to come in and pour water for him, Xu Xiaoming stood up with great vision, took the initiative to take the cup, and ran outside to change a cup of hot tea for Qiu Degen.

came back and sat down again, Xu Xiaoming introduced some information about "Huo Yuanjia" to Qiu Degen.

"This drama was filmed for more than two months, and there is a lot of manpower, money and time, so if I mess up, then I really have no place to be ashamed."

Hearing that Xu Xiaoming was so sure, Qiu Degen was so happy that he said three "good" words in a row, and promised that as long as the ratings of this TV series can exceed 40%, he will hold a celebration banquet for Xu Xiaoming in the company.

The more Qiu Degen treats himself like this. The more Xu Xiaoming felt unsteady in his heart.

He now has to worry about whether the transaction between himself and Lin Xi behind "Huo Yuanjia" will be discovered by Qiu Degen.

If the ratings of "Huo Yuanjia" are satisfactory, everyone will naturally be happy, and Qiu Degen will pretend to be confused even if he knows something; But if the ratings of "Huo Yuanjia" are not good, Qiu Degen may have to settle this account with him seriously.

At this time, Xu Xiaoming realized that he had unknowingly boarded Lin Xi's thief ship. With such a start, it will be difficult for him to clear up his relationship with Lin Xi in the future.

Coming out of Qiu Degen's office, Xu Xiaoming suddenly felt a little heavy.

Before getting off work, he called Cheng Xiaodong and asked him to go out for a drink at night.

It's still the same hot pot restaurant we saw last time, and two glasses full of liquor bumped together.

Put down your glass. Cheng Xiaodong smacked his lips and said: "According to what you just said, the ratings of "Huo Yuanjia" are not too bad, what else do you have to worry about?" ”

Xu Xiaoming picked up the chopsticks, fished out a piece of meat from the pot, and blew it. But he didn't rush to put it in his mouth.

"I'm not worried about "Huo Yuanjia", but I'm thinking, am I getting too close to Lin Xi during this time?"

"Then you asked the wrong person this question, Lin Xi still owes me a movie that I didn't make? If you are closer to him, then will I not be closer to him? ”

Cheng Xiaodong glanced at Xu Xiaoming with chopsticks, then lowered his head and continued to eat.

Xu Xiaoming was stunned, and then realized that Cheng Xiaodong was right, but except for Cheng Xiaodong. He couldn't find any other suitable person to talk about these troubles.

Thinking of this, Xu Xiaoming couldn't help but sigh.

"Hey! What a wrong step, a wrong step! ”

Cheng Xiaodong raised his head. looked at Xu Xiaoming and asked, "Do you really think you're wrong?" ”

Xu Xiaoming said with a depressed face: "Let you persuade me?" Originally, you were invited for this meal. ”

Cheng Xiaodong put the chopsticks down, "Okay, since you say so, then I'll give you an analysis." First of all, what do you think of Uncle Gen? ”

Xu Xiaoming replied without thinking: "Be generous and take care of the people below." Most importantly, I think he really wants to do a good job for ATV. ”

Cheng Xiaodong shook his head. obviously did not agree with Xu Xiaoming's statement.

"Uncle Gen does have the idea of making ATV bigger and stronger, but in essence. After all, he is not an insider, ATV is just a more important business for him, since it is a business, when the price is right, it can naturally be sold to others, and you are just a part-time worker, if you want to be loyal, you should also be loyal to ATV, not a specific person. Now that you and Lin Xi are making a deal behind your back, it seems that you are disloyal to Uncle Gen, but for ATV, what you do is conducive to the development of the TV station, why make yourself so depressed? ”

I don't know why, when Cheng Xiaodong said that Qiu Degen might sell ATV again in the future, Xu Xiaoming's shadow suddenly appeared in his heart, could it be that in his heart, he always expected Lin Xi to be the boss of ATV?

Xu Xiaoming shook his head and squeezed this unbelievable thought out of his mind.

It is true that Lin Xi has convincing talent, but his foundation is still too shallow after all, first of all, in terms of financial resources, it is impossible for him to buy ATV.

It's not about ability, it's about reality.

Without a net worth of hundreds of millions of Hong Kong dollars, winning ATV is simply delusional.

"Since it's a business, if this business can make money, why would Uncle Gen sell it?" Xu Xiaoming tried to refute it.

Cheng Xiaodong pursed his lips and said with some disdain: "ATV can have the current improvement, you and I know very well whose credit it is, in case one day this person refuses to help ATV anymore, do you think Uncle Gen will continue to have the confidence to operate?" ”

Xu Xiaoming was stunned for a moment, and then asked, "Did you hear any news?" ”

"I haven't heard the news, but there are some things that can be seen with the eyes. For example, Lin Xi has now started a partnership with Xu Guanwen to make movies, how attractive will he be to make TV series in the future? When he shifts his career focus to movies, how will ATV continue? Cheng Xiaodong asked rhetorically.

Xu Xiaoming took it for granted and said: "Even if he doesn't make movies, then he will continue to write novels, right?" At that time, ATV and him will just buy the copyright. ”

Cheng Xiaodong laughed, "You think things are too simple, and Lin Xi doesn't owe anything to ATV." When he is ready to sell the copyright of the novel instead of continuing to shoot it himself, who is he not selling it to? It can be sold to ATV, of course, it can also be sold to wireless, and even in terms of bidding, wireless has more advantages. Uncle Gen's Far Eastern Group is strong and arrogant. But it is impossible to throw money at ATV without restrictions, and wireless is different, Mr. Shao would rather give up movies than keep TV, and he will definitely not hesitate to spend money. ”

"So, do you think Lin Xi will soon part ways with us?"

"Not necessarily, don't you think. If Lin Xi just took filming a TV series as a step for himself to jump into the film industry, he and ATV would have gotten too close. I always felt that he had other purposes. ”

Cheng Xiaodong's words hooked up the thought that Xu Xiaoming had squeezed out of his mind before.

Thinking of Lin Xi's past, it is really like Cheng Xiaodong said. Mo Fei Linxi really has an idea about ATV? But where did he go to find so much money?

Xu Xiaoming felt that his mind had become a mess, and he had no clue at all.

Cheng Xiaodong picked up his wine glass, "That's why I advise you, just do your own thing, it's useless to think about some things, so just don't think about it, just let it be!" ”

Xu Xiaoming pondered Cheng Xiaodong's words for a while. I also figured it out, picked up the wine glass and said to Cheng Xiaodong: "You're right, just let it be!" ”

The two glasses collided again.

this night. Xu Xiaoming said that he was drunk, and was woken up by a pager that kept screaming at nine o'clock the next morning, and when he opened his eyes, he saw that there were more than ten pagers on it, all of which were called by the company, and he was so frightened that he sat up from the bed all of a sudden.

The ratings of the premiere of "Huo Yuanjia" should have come out at this time. Xu Xiaoming estimated that ATV was in a hurry to find himself because of this incident, and walked to the living room. I picked up the microphone and was about to call back, when it suddenly stopped again.

remembered what Cheng Xiaodong said to persuade himself last night. Xu Xiaoming suddenly felt that no matter what the outcome was, it was no longer important to him.

If the ratings of "Huo Yuanjia" are good, it doesn't matter if you go a little later tonight, no one will care about this with him, and if the ratings of "Huo Yuanjia" are very poor, the worst result is nothing more than leaving ATV.

Thinking of this, Xu Xiaoming put down the microphone again, went to the bathroom to wash up seriously, put on his clothes and tie, and lifted his briefcase to go out as usual.

Just when Xu Xiaoming was not in a hurry to come to work, some people on ATV's side were already as anxious as ants on a hot pot, such as Xu Xiaoming's assistant.

Qiu Degen's side would call every few minutes to ask if Xu Xiaoming had arrived, and he also called Xu Xiaoming many times to pager, but there was no response.

directly called Xu Xiaoming's home, but no one answered the phone, so anxious that he almost couldn't help but want to call the police.

Fortunately, at this time, Xu Xiaoming finally came.

"Manager, you're finally here, I'm ......"

Before the assistant finished speaking, he was directly interrupted by Xu Xiaoming.

"Okay, don't talk about this, has the premiere ratings of "Huo Yuanjia" come out?"

"came out, and the average rating of the two episodes was 41%."

Xu Xiaoming was stunned when he heard this, and his face looked a little surprised.

The assistant thought that Xu Xiaoming thought that the ratings were low, and quickly explained: "The main thing is that the ratings were a little low in the first episode, but in the second episode, the situation was much better, and the situation was a bit similar to when "The Peerless Twins" was broadcast. ”

Who knew that Xu Xiaoming just let out a simple sigh, and then there was no more to say.

In fact, if he hadn't gone to Cheng Xiaodong to drink that wine yesterday, maybe Xu Xiaoming would have been uncontrollably happy when he heard the news, because the ratings were not too low, but too high!

Now Xu Xiaoming is thinking that when Lin Xi was filming this TV series, he should have thought that this would be the result, but why is he so sure?

This lingering question immediately diluted Xu Xiaoming's joy after learning about the ratings. (A good event for pie in the sky, cool mobile phones are waiting for you!)
