Chapter 173: Laying the Groundwork (510 Monthly Pass Plus Update)

Lin Xi was no longer ready to continue to cooperate with ATV, this news hit Xu Xiaoming so hard that his whole person became confused, and Qiu Degen didn't listen to a word of what he said.

Others don't know, but Xu Xiaoming knows that ATV was able to withstand the pressure from wireless at the beginning of its establishment, and the role of the two martial arts dramas filmed by Lin Xi is irreplaceable.

Especially the current "The Voice of Asia", the ratings of the program exceeded 50% in the first round of the competition, and more importantly, the huge social influence generated by this program can completely make ATV go to a higher level and completely have the strength to compete with wireless.

But this beautiful vision of Qiē completely came to naught in Lin Xi's phone call.

Leaving Qiu Degen's office, Xu Xiaoming's whole person fell into a huge loss, and along the way, no matter who greeted him, he ignored him.

Back at the door of his office, the assistant walked over and was just about to speak, but Xu Xiaoming raised his hand to stop him.

"Don't say anything, I'm in a bad mood right now, don't bother me even if the sky falls!"

Before the assistant could say the word "but", Xu Xiaoming had already walked into the office and slammed the door shut.

After entering the □ ↘ door, Xu Xiaoming first took off his coat and threw it on the sofa on the side, and then began to pull the tie around his neck, but before he finished this qiē, he was stunned.

Because behind the desk opposite, in the position that should have belonged to him, Lin Xi was sitting there smiling at him.

Xu Xiaoming came back to his senses, blinked vigorously, and finally made sure that he was not dazzled.

"How. Don't know me anymore? ”

Lin Xi said jokingly.

After hearing this, Xu Xiaoming turned around without saying a word and opened the office door. He stuck his head out and called out to the assistant who hadn't left yet.

"You are guarding the door for me now, and no one will be allowed to enter. Including Uncle Gen! ”

Ignoring the assistant's confused expression, Xu Xiaoming slammed the door shut again.

This time it was not only closed, but also locked.

After doing this, Xu Xiaoming turned around, looked at Lin Xi with a wry smile and said, "You have already decided not to cooperate with ATV, why are you still coming to me?" You don't know how angry Uncle Gen was in the office just now, so he almost didn't directly scold you for being a white-eyed wolf who can't be raised! ”

Lin Xi shrugged his shoulders with an indifferent attitude, "In this situation, it's not appropriate for me to go directly to Uncle Gen!" ”

Xu Xiaoming walked up to Lin Xi a little angrily and asked, "Then it's appropriate for you to come to me?" If this is to be spread today. How can you let me continue to gain a foothold in ATV in the future? ”

"Don't get excited, listen to what I've to say."

Lin Xi pointed to the swivel chair next to the desk and motioned for Xu Xiaoming to sit down first.

Xu Xiaoming sat down without thinking too much, it was true that he was tired enough to stand in Qiu Degen's office before, but as soon as he sat down, he realized that something was wrong, this seemed to be his office, why did he feel that Lin Xi had become the master now, and he had become a guest instead?

Without waiting for Xu Xiaoming to get around the bend from this matter, Lin Xi asked again: "You know the reason why I made this decision?" ”

Xu Xiaoming opened his mouth and said, "Isn't it just Shao Yifu exchanging Shaw Brothers Cinemas?" I don't understand. You said you were going to make a movie, and now you have a good relationship with Golden Harvest and Princess Jin, why did you hang yourself on the Shaw Brothers tree? ”

Lin Xi looked at Xu Xiaoming again, as if he knew him for the first time.

"If these words come out of the mouth of a layman. I'm not surprised, but you can't figure out how important cinemas are to a film company. Don't you know? ”

When Lin Xi asked this, Xu Xiaoming was immediately speechless.

"Don't look at Jiahe, Princess Jin and I have a good relationship now. But as long as I don't have my own theater for a day, I will act according to other people's eyes every day. If you were me, would you be willing? ”

Xu Xiaoming continued to have nothing to say.

"Okay, let's not talk about Shaw Brothers Cinemas, let's talk about ATV! That's right, ATV did give me the opportunity to become famous that no other TV station could give me, but I also repaid ATV with actions, not to mention how much I contributed to the development of ATV, but at least I don't owe ATV anything, you don't understand this, but Uncle Gen understands, so when I called him to tell him about it, I knew he was angry, but he didn't say anything in the end. ”

When Lin Xi said this, Xu Xiaoming suddenly raised his head.

"That's because he didn't know what you and I were doing on the sly!"

"What did I do with you? Isn't it just for you to help train a few actors? I have made it very clear to you before this, even if these people don't come to poach people in the future, they will naturally leave after a certain stage of TV station development, people go to high places, and water flows to low places, why can't you understand this kind of thing? ”

"From your point of view, this is a matter of course, but have you considered my feelings?"

Xu Xiaoming patted his chest and asked loudly.

At this moment, Lin Xi suddenly didn't dare to look directly at him.

For ATV, he must let Lin Xi say that he owes something, then he feels that the only thing he can't stand is Xu Xiaoming, Xu Xiaoming has been very helpful to him from beginning to end, but he has always been using Xu Xiaoming.

"Originally, I had already made everything clear to Uncle Gen on the phone, if it weren't for you, I wouldn't have had to come here again."

"I wish you hadn't come, so at least it wouldn't make me feel bad."

Xu Xiaoming let out a long sigh, and his tone softened.

Lin Xi stood up from his seat, walked over to Xu Xiaoming, patted him on the shoulder and said, "Don't worry, I'm here this time to give you a big gift at the end." ”

If Xu Xiaoming said this in normal times, he might not feel that there was any problem, but in this situation, he had to wonder if Lin Xi had another purpose.

"In the past, everyone had a common position, as long as what you want to do is not harmful to ATV, I will try my best to help you, but now the situation is different, if there is no obvious benefit to ATV, I will not agree."

Lin Xi pretended to be angry and clasped his hands and said: "The exclusive broadcast rights of "The Voice of Asia" in the next five years, do you agree or refuse?" And the TV adaptation rights of my next five martial arts novels, do you want it or not? ”

"What did you say?" Xu Xiaoming stood up all of a sudden, staring at Lin Xi with wide eyes, as if he had misheard it just now.

"I'm not kidding, just now I said that these can be signed to ATV, just like the normal cooperation before, without any strings attached!" Lin Xi explained seriously.

Xu Xiaoming's mouth was so big that he couldn't close it for a long time.

After a long time, he asked with difficulty: "Didn't you promise Shao Yifu to stop cooperating with ATV?" If you do this, can Mr. Shao agree? ”

Lin Xi pursed his lips very easily and said, "If these have become a fait accompli before the negotiation, what can the sixth uncle do to me if he knows?" ”

This sounds very reasonable, but Xu Xiaoming always feels that something is wrong.

"In that case, won't you have any advantage in the negotiation with the Shaw Brothers?"

"Who says I don't have any advantages? Now just "The Voice of Asia" has brought huge pressure to TVB, if I continue to help ATV make new programs, can TVB still sit still? For TVB, the top priority is to prevent me from helping ATV develop new programs that will boost ratings, and they don't care too much about the programs that ATV already has. Lin Xi replied in a light tone.

Xu Xiaoming couldn't help but say, "Then didn't you yin Mr. Shao once?" ”

"Do you think Uncle Six has a good heart for selling the Shaw Brothers to me at this time? He just wanted me to fight to the death with Zou Wenhuai and Lei Juekun, so he could watch the excitement from the sidelines. I'm just doing this as a courtesy. ”

Lin Xi's words only solved part of the doubts in Xu Xiaoming's heart, and there was one more thing he couldn't understand.

"You just said, in fact, you don't owe ATV anything, why do you have to help ATV so much in the end?"

Lin Xi spread his hands, "Didn't I explain the reason just now?" Before leaving, I felt sorry for you, so I left such a big gift for you, and with this credit, even Uncle Gen can't say anything about you, right? ”

"Do you think I'll believe it?" Xu Xiaoming stared at Lin Xi's eyes, "I believe you are doing this for my good, but this is definitely not your main purpose!" ”

Lin Xi turned his head to the side with some distress, frowned and asked, "It's good that you know this kind of thing in your heart, why do you have to say it?" ”

Xu Xiaoming couldn't help but show disappointment.

"You're leaving, and you're still not going to tell me the truth?"

Lin Xi turned his head, looked at Xu Xiaoming and said, "Then do you know that sometimes lies are more reassuring?" ”

Xu Xiaoming was obviously stunned for a moment, and he suddenly realized that he might have asked a very critical question.

"You have to hear the truth, don't you? Okay, then I'll tell you the truth, why do I help ATV so much, because when my strength is not strong enough to completely swallow ATV or wireless, I hope that the two can maintain a state of parity, and the situation of one dominant family will affect my future plans, you should understand this, right? ”

Xu Xiaoming's eyes widened, and there was an expression of disbelief on his face.

Although he had speculated about this before, it was another shocking feeling to hear Lin Xi admit it with his own ears.

He was just about to speak, but Lin Xi stretched out a finger and put it to his mouth and made a gesture of silence.

"This is out of my mouth and into your ears, and I don't want a third person to know! I'm not going to force you to take sides now, because it's not that time yet, but if that happens, I want you to be on the same side as me! (To be continued......)
