Chapter 411: Being smart is mistaken by being smart
"Mr. Xu, I wonder what you think about this matter?" Seeing that Xu Guanwu had been thinking for a long time, Mai Dangxiong couldn't help but ask with some concern.
"I think this proposal can be discussed," Xu Guanwu nodded, hearing him say this, Mai Dangxiong's face suddenly showed a hint of joy, "However, I am not directly responsible for the affairs of the TV station, although I am the major shareholder of TVB, but the specific affairs are still handled by Mr. Li Xiaohe." Well, how about I arrange for you to meet below? β
Although Mai Dangxiong was a little disappointed when he heard this, he was also very relieved to be affirmed by Xu Guanwu, and he was glad that he had not come in vain today. To be honest, although he put forward the proposal to form an alliance with wireless, he didn't know whether the alliance would succeed, and he came this time with the idea of giving it a try. I didn't expect Xu Guanwu to be so powerful, and immediately expressed his affirmative opinion.
"As long as he agrees to talk and does not reject this matter, then there is hope that the negotiation will be completed, and in this way, Li's will have hope to be rescued." Mai Dangxiong thought with great relief.
"By the way, Mr. Mai, we're done talking about serious things, now let's talk about some gossip, okay?" Xu Guanwu smiled slightly.
Mai Dangxiong was stunned for a moment, "If Mr. Xu has any other questions, I have full authority to represent the manager of this station, Huang Xizhao, and I can give a very clear answer." β
"Oh, Mr. Mai, you misunderstood, I don't want to ask about the alliance, but about you." Xu Guanwu smiled slightly, "Has Mr. Mai ever thought about going to the film industry to break through?" β
"This ......" Mai Dangxiong was stunned for a moment, but he didn't expect Xu Guanwu to go around and pull the topic back to himself. To be honest, as a person with ideals. Ambitious. Capable TV industry leaders. How could he not want to enter the film industry?!
In the TV circle. Let him climb as high as he can. It is also the life of being a cow, a horse, and a coolie for others, earning a little dead salary every month, and I don't know when Lu Dao will be demoted. But in the film industry, it is like turning over a serf and singing, and the local owner is powerful, not only with a high salary but also good benefits, and it is possible to start his own company and be his own boss.
Mai Dangxiong has also been mixed up in Lidi for several years, and has already attracted his own vote. Among them are both screenwriters and directors. If someone really funds it, he can set up his own film company in minutes, and then he will be the boss himself, with his own ability and these capable men under him, McDonald believes that he will not be weaker than anyone.
He is such a confident and courageous person, but it's a pity that he comes from a humble background and doesn't know any rich people. And although he has the ability, he does not have Bole's appreciation. Huang Xizhao is one of his Bole. But it's a pity that Huang Xizhao can only promote him to be the producer of the show, and he is still a long way from bringing him into the film industry.
So when I heard Xu Guanwu ask. Mai Dangxiong is really a hundred willing, a thousand willing, ten thousand willing. However, Mak Dangxiong is not a simple-minded, well-developed person, he is a Hong Kong film industry hero, from the original ordinary staff with only a secondary school diploma, to grow into one of the most famous filmmakers in Hong Kong, Mak Dangxiong does not rely on any connections, but on his own brain.
And smart people generally do things before thinking about victory and defeat, and only after thinking left and right will they make a choice that is in line with their own interests. Although Mai Dangxiong is a very smart person, he did not rush to reply to Xu Guanwu, but was thinking about what Xu Guanwu wanted to invite him again and again.
He was sure that he had never had contact with Xu Guanwu before, and although he was called Li's Sanxiong in Li, he was only more well-known in Li, and he belonged to the kind of rat who carried a gun in the nest.
In fact, the more famous figures in the Hong Kong TV circle are all people from the wireless side. For example, Liang Shuyi, who was promoted from announcer to manager of Brilliant Cinema before, such as Liu Tianci, a famous screenwriter of wireless, such as the behind-the-scenes planning team of "Happy Tonight", etc., they are all more famous than the so-called three heroes of Li.
As for the Hong Kong film industry, there are many more famous people than their beautiful three heroes, not to mention the older generation of Shaw Brothers directors, there are many well-known directors in the Hui family alone, such as Hong Jingbao who makes kung fu comedies, such as Zhang Jian who shoots urban action, such as Chu Yuan who makes strange martial arts films, such as Mai Jia who makes urban comedies, and even Xu Guanwu's brother Xu Guanwen is also a well-known comedy king in Hong Kong.
In front of so many cattle, when will it be the turn of McDonald's to be in the limelight? Although Mai Dangxiong is very confident, and he knows that he is also very capable, he does not underestimate the whole world because of this. Therefore, Mai Dangxiong resolutely does not believe what Xu Guanwu said about admiring his name for a long time and appreciating talent.
In his opinion, a high-ranking media tycoon like Xu Guanwu, not to mention the film companies and TV stations outside, just said that Xu himself has a lot of talents. Even Xu's own talent can't be 100% noticed, he is a small producer of a TV station whose ratings are not high and there are still difficulties in operation, what ability can attract Xu Guanwu's ideas?!
Therefore, in response to Xu Guanwu's successive invitations, Mai Dangxiong thinks that he is suspicious, although it is not clear what it is for, but this is the most likely guess. Therefore, Mai Dangxiong was puzzled and also full of vigilance against Xu Guanwu, so after he shook his head firmly, "Manager Huang Xizhao has the grace of promoting me, and I will not abandon him." Mr. Xu, I don't understand your kindness. β
"It's a shame." Xu Guanwu said with a sense of dismay, he originally wanted to take Mai Dangxiong under his command, but with the joining of this talented filmmaker, Xu Guanwu can make many classic films. But he never thought that McDonald would pretend to be clever, and suddenly pondered to the point of foolishness, and regarded his proposal as a weasel greeting the rooster for the New Year, and he was not at ease. So I was very happy to refuse.
But how did Mai Dangxiong know that Xu Guanwu actually came from a later generation, he really saw many of his works, and he really appreciated his talent very much, so he invited him to join one after another. It is precisely because this willingness is too unbelievable and beyond the imagination of ordinary people. So let McDonald be smarter. It is also impossible to think of this reason. Therefore, he naturally expressed a very high vigilance against Xu Guanwu's unwarranted diligence.
So sometimes it's not necessarily a good thing to be too smart, but later when Mai Dangxiong joined Xu's family, he was vigorously promoted by Xu Guanwu without sparing any effort, only to know that Xu Guanwu really valued his talent, and not by other attempts, and suddenly couldn't help but regret it. If I had known that this was the case, why would I still be suffering outside for two years?!
β¦β¦
After Mak Dangxiong refused Xu Guanwu's invitation. Then he returned to Lidi with Xu Guanwu's kindness. Huang Xizhao and others couldn't help but breathe a long sigh of relief when they heard that Xu Guanwu expressed his support for this matter. To be honest, they originally didn't have much hope for the alliance, with TVB's current popularity, current prestige, and current income, they don't have to be afraid of Jiayi's counterattack, let alone form an alliance with Li's old rival.
Besides, the two TV stations used to compete in order to compete, but they used a lot of tricks against each other, even if they didn't like each other, they wished that the other party would collapse directly to be happy. But I didn't expect Xu Guanwu to be so open-minded. He even expressed his support for this matter. This is really another village for the beautiful people who are currently exhausted.
When the people of Liz were happy. Xu Guanwu also found Liang Shuyi and took her to TVB to explain the matter to Mr. Li Xiaohe.
Hearing him say the news, Mr. Li Xiaohe, Ms. Liang Shuyi, and Mr. Zhong Jinghui couldn't help but be stunned for a while.
However, the three people present were very human, and they quickly understood the mystery, "I didn't expect Li to think of this trick to break the game, but it can be regarded as a ruin." Mr. Li Xiaohe nodded.
"Although this suggestion is a bit unexpected, it is also a way to think about it, and it can be regarded as finding a way out for Li's." Mr. Zhong Jinghui smiled and said, "Mr. Xu, what do you think?" β
"I'm more in favor of forming an alliance," Xu Guanwu smiled and said, "Sir Shao's move is very clever, and he has gone out of his own way, but he has cut off our way." Therefore, he has the technique of combining verticals, so we use the technique of connecting horizontals. The hardware measures of Li's TV station are still good,If you add our wireless software advantages,Presumably we can fight with Jiayiγ And Jiayi Youli's TV station is crowding out resources, and life must not be very easy. Therefore, with the two of them holding each other back, we can watch from the wall and sit firmly on the Diaoyutai platform. β
"Mr. Xu is not afraid of raising tigers, and one day the beauty will not be able to fall, and when the time comes, we will be squeezed down?" Liang Shuyi asked with a smile on the side, "Now Lishi is facing business difficulties, so she wants to form an alliance with us." Once the operation of its parent company takes a turn for the better, or if another powerful consortium takes over and revives Leigh's TV station, then our TVB TV station will be in danger. β
Xu Guanwu couldn't help but smile when he heard Liang Shuyi say this, after the former Shili's TV station was taken over by Boss Qiu Degen, it did make TVB suffer a lot. Qiu Degen is a well-known banker in Hong Kong, and his Far Eastern Bank has abundant assets, and under his large amount of money and investment, the renamed Asia Television of Li's TV station has indeed created a lot of ratings miracles. For example, "The Kindness of the Earth", "Qin Shi Huang", "The Girl Cixi", "The Hero Huo Yuanjia", etc., have caused huge repercussions in Hong Kong and the mainland, and have caused a lot of trouble for TVB.
But even so, TVB still firmly occupies the top spot in the ratings and does not let ATV steal the limelight. And in this life, there is Xu Guanwu in the central government, countless classic TV series, countless good-looking variety shows, all stored in his mind. With these fierce materials in his hands, Xu Guanwu is not afraid that Li will turn over the sky.
"Don't worry, Li's is not so capable, and our TVB TV is full of talents, and there is also me, a big financier, are you afraid that Li's will overshadow the limelight?" Xu Guanwu said to Liang Shuyi with a smile.
Liang Shuyi knew that she was going to take over as the manager of TVB in the future, so when she heard Xu Guanwu ask, she couldn't help but raise her head confidently. Yes, no matter how rich Li's new owner is, it is impossible for him to be as rich as Xu Guanwu, and he is willing to invest all his money in the TV station. Besides, there are talents in beauty, and there are also talents in wireless, so there is really no need to be afraid of beauty compared to high and low.
Liang Shuyi, the only one who disagreed, was persuaded by Xu Guanwu at the end, so the four people present unanimously agreed to discuss the matter with Li. However, although everyone expressed their support and one side was quite willing, when it came to specific issues, it was still necessary to negotiate carefully.
For example, the scope of cooperation after the alliance, the shooting of TV dramas, the selection of personnel, the order of screening, and so on. After a month and a half of intensive negotiations, the most reluctantly wireless and Lidi finally signed an alliance agreement, and then announced the matter together. (To be continued......)
