Rewind the clock to an hour.

At the end of the symposium, Director Chen immediately called Qiu Degen, chairman of ATV Group.

Speaking of this Mr. Qiu, his experience is legendary, unlike TVB's Uncle Shao Liu, who was born in a wealthy family since he was a child, and no matter what he does, he can get strong support.

Born into a family of small traders, Qiu Degen dropped out of junior high school after only a few months of study due to his family's poverty.

Later, he fled to Xiangjiang with his family, when Xiangjiang was different from now, at that time, this small land was not developed, Qiu Degen first arrived in Xiangjiang, and it was not easy to survive.

Because he had run a small theater in Shanghai before, he had shown slides, and with such a little technology, he barely gained a foothold in Xiangjiang.

Although it was meager and the couple were frugal, they slowly saved a sum of money and opened a small theater in the New Territories.

Qiu Degen knows very well that it is impossible for him to compete with others in the urban area with his little capital, because people who live in the urban area are only interested in new films, and the rent of new films is very expensive, as long as one or two films have a low attendance rate, it is enough for him to lose all his old capital.

So, he turned his attention to the countryside.

At that time, the rural film industry in Xiangjiang was still very backward, and it was difficult for rural residents to watch a movie, and for them, even old movies were very fresh.

The rent of old films is extremely cheap, and you can rent it for a day for one Hong Kong dollar.

Opening a movie theater in the countryside has a market and low cost, so it naturally has a great future.

Speaking of which, Qiu Degen can also be regarded as the first person in the countryside in the border of Xiangjiang.

has gained a firm foothold in the countryside, and has slowly expanded from one cinema to more than a dozen, and has also gained the reputation of a cinema tycoon in the New Territories.

With a shortage of money in hand, Qiu Degen began to gradually expand his business, and then there was the predecessor of the now famous Far Eastern Group - Far Eastern Group.

In the following ten years, Qiu Degen's business became more and more prosperous, and the scope of investment became larger and larger, involving more and more industries: banking, real estate, securities, tourism, food, hotels, warehouses, theaters, newspapers, and even expanded his business abroad.

As time went on, Khoo grew old and his children began to share many of the affairs of the family business.

At this time, he suddenly remembered that he had never had a film career, he started in the film industry, and with strong capital, he wanted to come to fulfill his old dream again.

But at that time, the family was opposed, and they didn't want Qiu Degen to work hard for this in his later years.

But what Qiu Degen was determined to do, no one could stop it, at that time there were two TV stations in Xiangjiang, Wireless and Li, the former was well run and strong, and had filmed many influential TV series.

And Li's suffered serious losses due to poor management and almost went bankrupt.

Qiu Degen saw the opportunity and spent a huge amount of money this year to buy 50% of the shares of Li's TV station, which is now Asia TV.

Speaking of it now, a few hundred words can summarize most of Qiu Degen's life, but only those who have really experienced it can appreciate the hardships.

As a shrewd businessman, being good at seizing opportunities is only the basics, and judging the situation is the key.

When the negotiations in the capital had just started and there was no substantial progress, Qiu Degen already knew that he was different from many Xiangjiang people who still had illusions about ghosts.

Qiu Degen is well aware that return is the trend of the times.

Unlike more than 100 years ago, China today is absolutely not allowed to continue to maintain the status quo, like a dog's skin plaster, which is unsightly.

It's too early to talk about what the future holds, but it's also necessary to make some preparations in advance.

Therefore, when President Deng Feng contacted ATV and said that the TV station in Beijing was going to send a delegation to exchange and study, Qiu Degen specially explained that he must have a good relationship with the people from Beijing.

Feel free to report to him if there are any requests.

"Is that all?"

Qiu Degen didn't expect that the people from the capital would only make such a small request.

Invite ATV's artist Huang Yuanshen to participate in a theatrical performance.

"Mr. Qiu, they ...... There was really no mention of any other requirements, only this one, but there was a young man in the delegation who told me about the party they were talking about. ”

"Oh! What nature? ”

"I heard him say that this party will be broadcast during the Lunar New Year, and he also said that he will face the entire continent and there will be hundreds of millions of viewers."

When Gu Bei said this, Director Chen obviously didn't believe it, and his impression of the mainland was the same as that of most people in Xiangjiang.

Poverty, backwardness......

Even if CCTV's technical means can do it, can so many families in the mainland afford to buy TV sets?

"What else did you say?"

"Other...... He also said that if we accept the invitation, Huang Yuanshen will be the representative of Hong Kong......"

"I agreed!"

Before Director Chen could finish speaking, Qiu Degen interrupted him.

"In addition, ask the other party if there are other artists to participate in this performance, as long as it is an ATV artist, we will send whoever the other party calls by name."

This shocked Director Chen: "Mr. Qiu, we ...... Are you thinking about it, once we accept the invitation, the treasure island side ......?"

"Don't care about them, remember my words, no matter when it comes, we are all Chinese, yellow skin, black eyes, passed down from our ancestors, we can't change it."

There are some words, Qiu Degen naturally will not say to his subordinates, the general trend is the trend, those who go along with it prosper, and those who go against it die.

If you don't prepare in advance now, what are you waiting for to bring the relationship closer to each other?

If it weren't for the negotiations in the capital, Qiu Degen might still be as cautious in everything as before.

After all, whether it is official or non-governmental, as long as it involves the issue of mutual communication, it is always very sensitive, and there will be countless pairs of eyes staring.

But now it's a different story.

If the ghosts were really as tough as they said, it is estimated that there would be no such negotiations.

Since he is willing to talk, he is three points weaker in momentum, and it is only a matter of time before the Iron Lady bows her head.

As for the future, Qiu Degen still decided to go with the times.

It doesn't hurt to do some preparation in advance.

Qiu Degen has already made his attitude clear, although Director Chen does not understand, but in his position, as long as he does it.

"Mr. Qiu, one more thing, yesterday Director Xu arranged for someone to take them to visit our set, and one of them was Director Yang, who is the director of "Journey to the West", and she seems to be very interested in our stunt equipment."

Yesterday when ATV screened "Stealing Ginseng Fruit", Qiu Degen was actually on the scene, but he left after watching it.

"I understand, since I gave it, let's be generous, arrange it, and when they leave, give them a set of our idle equipment, and if Director Yang still wants to observe the scene, it will be as convenient as possible."

"I see!"

After hanging up the phone, Director Chen explained Qiu Degen's arrangements as soon as possible, and then called the number that Gu Bei left him yesterday.

"Hello, I'm Gu Bei."

"Mr. Gu, hello, I'm Chen Xingjian!"

Waiting for the other party to report to his home, Gu Bei subconsciously raised his eyebrows, and then smiled.

"Mr. Chen, is there already a result?"

"Yes, we have already studied the matter mentioned by Mr. Gu, and we have also asked Huang Yuanshen's opinion, and we decided to accept the invitation."

It's okay, I know where to lean.

Then, without waiting for Gu Bei to speak, Director Chen continued: "In addition, since Mr. Gu said that it was a theatrical performance, I don't know if more actors are needed?" If needed, Mr. Gu can pick all the contracted artists of ATV. ”

Pick and choose?

So generous?

Hearing this, Gu Bei was also a little surprised.

Now ATV's contracted artists......

Mi Xue, Zhang Guorong, and ......

If you can really invite all these big names, the first Spring Festival Gala will not be a classic forever?

"Director Chen!"

Gu Beigang ordered his troops to order the generals, and suddenly held back in time.

If it was before finding Zhang Mingmin, Gu Bei would definitely not be polite to ATV.

But not anymore.

For the Xiangjiang artists of this Spring Festival Gala, it is enough to have Zhang Mingmin, or in other words, it is enough to have the song "My Chinese Heart".

Once other Xiangjiang artists are invited to participate, when the time comes, it is bound to steal the limelight from Zhang Mingmin.

Maybe the influence of "My Chinese Heart" is not so great.

In this matter, Gu Bei did not allow the slightest change.

This Spring Festival Gala, the main focus is Zhang Mingmin and "My Chinese Heart", even if ATV is really willing to arrange Zhang Guorong to come over to perform.

"Thank you very much for your kindness, Mr. Huang Yuanshen is very grateful for agreeing to participate."

Director Chen was also relieved to see Gu Bei's refusal, he was really afraid that Gu Bei would open his mouth and bring all the popular artists of ATV to the capital.

Although Qiu Degen spoke, Director Chen, as the executor, also had to consider the follow-up impact.

One Huang Yuanshen is enough, and if a few more people are blocked by Treasure Island, it will be difficult to do.

"Mr. Gu, if there is anything that needs our assistance, just ask, in addition, yesterday because I was in too much of a hurry, I didn't care about the arrangement, if you still want to go to the set to watch, we can also arrange it here."

Director Chen didn't mention the delivery of equipment, and when the three-person delegation left, it was not too late to take out the things.

"Really?"

Gu Bei said, turning his head to look at Yang Jie.

"Of course, yesterday was not fully prepared, I heard that everyone still wanted to see something, but I didn't have time to arrange it."

Hehe!

It's okay now, just now Director Yang Jie also said that he was going to find President Deng Feng and begged him to contact ATV and let her go to the set again to see what was going on with that Guojianglong, if she didn't figure it out, the little old lady would probably not be able to sleep for several days.

"Director Chen, your arrangements are so thoughtful, it is really ...... Thank you so much. ”
