"Mr. Mai, let's talk in my office first." Xu Guanwu greeted warmly, "By the way, Mr. Mai, what do you drink, tea, coffee, or juice?" ”

"I just want a glass of water." Mai Dangxiong was slightly stunned, and then said lightly.

"Okay, prepare a cup of water for Mr. Mai and prepare a cup of tea for me." Xu Guanwu turned around and commanded, and then said to Mai Dangxiong with a smile, "Mr. Mai, please come here." ”

Walking into Xu Guanwu's office, Mak Dangxiong was immediately shocked, how magnificent it is, needless to say, just to decorate his office, Xu Guanwu spent tens of millions of Hong Kong dollars, and the furnishings and displays cost nearly 30 million Hong Kong dollars. It's all stacked with banknotes.

Just like those stars of the Korean Wave, they all look beautiful, pure and lovely. In particular, their clothing, hairstyle, makeup, etc., are often used as models, which makes many women envious, and therefore joins the ranks of star chasers. In fact, the reason why these stars are so beautiful and dressed so fashionably is because of the banknotes. Needless to say, plastic surgery and beauty are all known to people on the earth that Oba is plastic surgery. And their hairstyles, clothing, makeup, etc., are also taken care of by professionals.

To tell the truth, even if you are an ordinary person with an average appearance, if you wear a tailor-made fashion outfit, get a more suitable haircut, draw a more suitable makeup, and take an artistic photo, you will also achieve the effect of being a star. If you don't believe it, it's good to watch "American Supermodel Contest", a group of ordinary people after transformation. can get the feeling of a star.

Of course, the premise is that someone is willing to spend money for you, and the little money that ordinary workers work hard every month is all spent on dressing and beauty. How much money can there be?! And like a star, the company spent a lot of money to build, the purpose is to attract money with that beautiful face piled up with banknotes. People are group criminals and have rich experience, whether you are fighting alone or a fledgling, it is as you should be that you are not as good as others.

Xu Guanwu built his office so magnificently, not because he wanted to cheat anyone out of money. It's about making yourself more comfortable. The office is where he spends a lot of his time, and he spends probably a third of his day here, so it's natural to dress up more comfortably. so as not to let their quality of life deteriorate.

However, in Mak Dangxiong's opinion, this kind of decoration is a bit too luxurious, especially this office is more than 1,000 square meters, and through the huge floor-to-ceiling windows, you can also see the invincible sea view of Victoria Harbour. Completely tyrant!

Mak thought about himself though he had worked at Leigh's TV station for many years. Countless high-quality programs have been created. But now I still live in a house of less than 500 square meters, and people's offices are bigger than my own house, and I can't help but feel that rich people are good.

……

"Mr. Mai, please be seated." Xu Guanwu greeted warmly, "I have admired Mr. Mai for a long time, and I also appreciate Mr. Mai's talent. ”

"Uh......" Mak Dangxiong couldn't help but be stunned after hearing this, what kind of rhythm is this?! Today I am here to talk about an alliance. It's here to talk about the alliance between wireless and Li, why did the other party apply to him for poaching instead? I heard it wrong. Or did he simply misunderstand?!

"Mr. Xu, although the Xu family is good, Li's has cultivated me with grace, and I will not leave Li's to switch to wireless." Mai Dangxiong solemnly refused, "In addition, I actually came today to discuss something important with Mr. Xu. ”

"Yes, but I don't mean to ask you to go to TVB, but I want to invite you to come to Xu's to make a movie." Xu Guanwu smiled.

Mai Dangxiong couldn't help but be stunned after hearing this, to be honest, there is no TV series director who doesn't want to be a film director. Being a TV drama director is a hundred times harder than being a film director. TV series often have to work overtime to shoot in order to meet the deadline, and it is very likely that they will not be able to rest for several days in a row.

Film directors are relatively much freer, according to Zhou Yanfa's acceptance speech at the Academy Awards ceremony, it can be known that some directors in Hong Kong watch the horse classics on the set and live by the stock machine. And like the great directors of Shaw Brothers Li Hanxiang , Zhang Che, etc., they are basically emperors on the set, and they are angry and angry, and they can scold if they don't have any thoughts with him. Like Wu Ma, he was the assistant director of Director Zhang Che before, and he was specifically responsible for being scolded by Zhang Che. Because it's impossible to scold celebrities, celebrities are valuable assets. And Wu Ma can also receive a special allowance every month, which is to compensate for the loss of his scolding.

In addition, there is a world of difference in income, TV station directors only get a standard salary, only a few thousand Hong Kong dollars a month, and they can't make a fortune if they don't starve to death. But if you were a film director, it would be very different. There is no need to talk about the salary of hundreds of thousands, and if the box office is a big hit, you can also have dividends, and you can even set up your own film company in the future, which is more profitable than making TV series.

Mak Dangxiong himself also has the idea of making a movie, and the so-called soldier who does not want to be a general is not a good soldier. But he really didn't have that chance. Leigh's TV station does not have a production department of its own, so it is impossible to pay him to make a movie. The Shaw Brothers are full of talents, and their own people can't be used, and they will not give him a chance as an outsider. Although Jiahe is relatively lacking in talents, he mainly looks at his qualifications when accepting people, such as Luo Wei, Wu Siyuan, Yuan Jiaban, etc., all of whom were collected by Jiahe after making a name for themselves outside.

And Mai Dangxiong himself only has the qualifications to make TV series, and how can this enter the eyes of Golden Harvest, so Golden Harvest Film Company does not have his share. And like some other film companies, it's not that Mak Dangxiong looks down on them and thinks that it is unprofessional for their leather bag company to get a vote; It's just that people look down on him, a person who makes a TV series, no matter how well the TV series is made, he may not be able to make a movie. So his so-called idea of wanting to make a movie was just a fantasy at the very least.

Unexpectedly, when he was here with Xu Guanwu today, he heard this heart-pounding question again, "Do you want to come to Xu's to make a movie?!" "Needless to say, of course I want to, and there is no TV series director who doesn't want to.

At that moment. Mai Dangxiong was so excited that he almost nodded in agreement, but he still forcibly settled his mind at the last moment. "Mr. Xu, let's talk about this later, in fact, I came to you today on behalf of Li's TV station." Mai Dangxiong said very solemnly.

"Okay," Xu Guanwu smiled, he could hear that Mai Dangxiong seemed to be tempted, as long as he didn't flatly refuse on the spot. It means that there will be opportunities in the future. This made Xu Guanwu very happy. Another general is about to be brought under his command, which is really a very good thing. "Then let's get down to business."

"That's right. I'm here today to represent Li's TV station and want to talk to Mr. Xu. Mak reiterated, "Our Li's TV station wants to form a strategic alliance with Mr. Xu's TVB. ”

"Your TV station wants to ally with my TVB?" Xu Guanwu asked dumbfounded. To be honest, about the purpose of Mak Dangxiong's coming today. Xu Guanwu conceived a myriad of possibilities. He didn't guess that there would be such a possibility, which was too surprising to him.

TVB and Li's TV station, and then Asia TV, from the day the station opened, began to compete to the death, although there were a few times when ATV beat the wireless to the dust, but most of the time it was wireless pressing ATV. And the more it gets to the new century, the more difficult it is for ATV to turn over.

With a population of five to six million viewers, TVB firmly occupies the dominant position in Hong Kong's television industry. Hong Kong cable TV also has an occupancy rate of more than one million households, note that it is more than one million. Naturally, each household cannot be just one person, so there are at least two or three million viewers. On the other hand, ATV usually only has a viewing population of two or three hundred thousand, and only some relatively good programs will have three or four hundred thousand viewers.

It is no wonder that ATV has laid off employees one after another in recent years, and even disbanded its own artist department, and has changed shareholders many times, and has broken out financial crises many times, which is really at the end of the road.

However, ATV is a dead duck with a hard mouth, insisting that the ratings have been opened with wireless, and the ratings are very guaranteed, but it has not been recognized by Hong Kong citizens.

And now the sworn enemy of this wireless TV station came to the door and said that he wanted to form an alliance with wireless, which was really a bit unexpected by Xu Guanwu. But imagination is not impossible.

is different from Xu Guanwu's lack of desire for TVB, and the annual revenue is fed back to TVB. In recent years, Li's TV station has been frequently sucked by the parent company, which has made the TV station, which is not very optimistic about its profits, frequently break out the news of financial crises, and it is struggling to support it, and it is quite bitter. And even if Huang Xizhao supports the overall situation, Mai Dangxiong, Tu Yongxiong, Li Zhaoxiong is effective, and his masterpieces are frequently disgraced by TVB, but whether it is advertising revenue or ratings, it is far inferior to TVB.

The reason is that this drama finally made money, and the money was immediately drained by the parent company, which made the next TV series unsustainable, and the quality dropped significantly.

On the other hand, TVB, because the major shareholder Xu Guanwu is not short of money, all the money earned is invested in TVB, so that its TV dramas have always been big productions and big casts, so the quality has always been stable in the middle and upper reaches, and there are often TV series with high quality to the top, so its viewership population has been relatively stable.

The ratings of Li's TV station are unstable, the natural advertising is also unstable, the natural income is also unstable, and the parent company frequently sucks blood, which also makes Li's TV station a little precarious. If you could still make money with the copyright of takeaway TV before, now that road has been cut off by Sir Shao's trick, Na Li's painful loss of wealth is only afraid that it is not far from liquidation.

At this critical juncture of life and death, all previous enmities can be put aside, as long as they can survive any longer, forming an alliance with the enemy is nothing. This fully reflects the saying that there are no eternal enemies, only eternal interests.

……

After Xu Guanwu listened to Mai Dangxiong's proposal, he couldn't help but fall into deep thought. To be honest, he was a little shocked. But after I figured it out, I thought it wasn't very simple to think about the alliance. There are so many things that you can't talk about without talking about them.

However, Xu Guanwu still appreciates the grand strategy of forming an alliance, to be honest, he is neither afraid of Shaw Brothers' Jiayi TV station, nor is he afraid of Li's TV station. Li's TV station ratings are more popular works, and now they are all stored in his mind, such as "I Have a Date with a Zombie", "Zombie Taoist", "Silver Fox", "Across the Seas", "Hero Huo Yuanjia" and so on, even after the alliance, TVB can still ensure that the ratings are stable and Li's end.

Moreover, the advertising strategic alliance formed by "Daily Daily", "Oriental Phantom", Xu's Superstar Manager Company, and TVB also ensures that advertisers will not leave easily, which basically makes TVB have no worries, so even if the alliance will not damage its own interests, on the contrary, it can add blockage to Jiayi TV, Xu Guanwu is naturally happy to see it.
