The king of ghost horse comedy

Chapter 401

"Mr. Xu, what do you think about this matter?" Seeing that Xu Guanwu had been thinking about it for a long time, Mai Dangxiong couldn't help asking worriedly.

"I think this proposal can be discussed," Xu Guanwu nodded and said, a gleam of joy appeared on Mai Dangxiong's face, "However, I am not directly responsible for the TV station's affairs, although I am the boss of TVB TV station. Shareholders, but Mr. Li Xiaohe will take care of the specific affairs. How about I arrange for you to meet?"

Although Mai Dangxiong was a little disappointed when he heard it, he was very relieved to be affirmed by Xu Guanwu, and he was glad that today was not in vain.To be honest, although he was the one who proposed the alliance with Wireless, he had no idea whether the alliance would be successful, so he came here this time with the idea of ​​giving it a try.Unexpectedly, Xu Guanwu was so powerful, and he immediately expressed his affirmative opinion.

"As long as he agrees to talk and doesn't reject this matter, then there is hope for a successful deal, and in this way, there is hope for Li's rescue." Mai Dangxiong thought very gratified.

"By the way, Mr. Mai, we're done talking about the serious stuff, shall we chat a little bit now?" Xu Guanwu smiled slightly.

Mai Dangxiong was taken aback, "Mr. Xu has any other questions. On behalf of the manager Huang Xizhao of this station, I can give a very clear answer."

"Oh, Mr. Mai, you misunderstood. What I want to ask is not about the alliance, but about you." Xu Guanwu smiled slightly, "Have Mr. Mai ever thought of going to the movie industry for a while?"

"This..." Mai Dangxiong was stunned for a moment, unexpectedly Xu Guanwu went around and brought the topic back to himself.To be honest, as a person with ideals.Ambitious.A capable person in the TV industry, how could he not want to enter the film industry? !

In the TV circle, no matter how high he climbed, he would still be working as a cow and a horse for others, earning such a small salary every month, and he would be demoted before he knew it.But in the film industry, it is like turning over serfs and singing, and the landlord is domineering. Not only is the salary high but the benefits are good, and it is possible to start a company and be the boss.

Mai Dangxiong has also been in Li's for several years, and has already recruited a group of people of his own, including both screenwriters and directors.If someone really supports him, he can set up his own film company in a few minutes, and then he will be his own boss. With his own ability and his capable men, McDonald believes that he will not be weaker than anyone else.

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 is capable, he is not appreciated by Bole.Huang Xizhao can be regarded as one of his friends, but unfortunately Huang Xizhao can only promote him to become a program producer, and he is still far away from promoting him into the film industry.

So when he heard Xu Guanwu's question, Mai Dangxiong really had a hundred wishes, a thousand wishes, and ten thousand wishes.But McDangxiong is not a simple-minded person with well-developed limbs. He is a hero in the Hong Kong film industry. He has grown from an ordinary employee with only a high school diploma to one of the most famous filmmakers in Hong Kong. What Dangxiong relied on was not his connections, but his own brain.

And smart people generally do things without thinking about victory before thinking about failure, and only after thinking about it left and right, they will make a choice that is in line with their own interests.Although Mai Dangxiong is a very smart person, so he didn't reply to Xu Guanwu in a hurry, but was thinking about why Xu Guanwu had to send invitations to himself again and again.

He was sure that he had never had contact with Xu Guanwu before, and even though he was called Li's Three Heroes in Li's, he was only relatively well-known in Li's, and he belonged to the kind of master who is a rat carrying a gun.

In fact, the relatively well-known figures in the Hong Kong TV circle are all from TVB.For example, Liang Shuyi, who was promoted from an announcer to the manager of Brilliant Cinemas, Liu Tianci, a famous TVB screenwriter, and the behind-the-scenes planning team of "Happy Tonight", etc., are all more famous than the so-called beautiful three heroes.

As for the Hong Kong film industry, there are many more people who are more famous than their beautiful Sanxiong, not to mention the Shaw Brothers directors of the older generation. There are many famous directors in the Xu family alone, such as Hong Jingbao who made kung fu comedies, such as Zhang Jian who made urban action movies, Chu Yuan who made strange martial arts movies, Mai Jia who made urban comedy movies, and even Xu Guanwu’s brother Xu Guanwen, who is also a well-known editor-director in Hong Kong. The king of comedy.

In front of so many talented people, when will it be McDonald's turn to show off?Although Mai Dangxiong is very confident, and he knows that he is also very capable, but he did not underestimate the whole world because of this.Therefore, Mai Dangxiong firmly does not believe what Xu Guanwu said about admiring his great name for a long time and appreciating his talent.

In his opinion, for a high-ranking media tycoon like Xu Guanwu, not to mention the film companies and TV stations outside, the Xu family alone has a lot of talents.Even Xu's own talents cannot receive 100% attention. As a small producer of a TV station with low ratings and difficult management, what skills can he have to attract Xu Guanwu's ideas? !
Therefore, for Xu Guanwu's consecutive invitations, Mai Dangxiong thought that he was casting doubts. Although he didn't know what the reason was, it was the most likely guess.Therefore, Mai Dangxiong was also full of vigilance towards Xu Guanwu while being puzzled, so he shook his head firmly after being stunned for a moment, "Manager Huang Xizhao has promoted me, and I will not abandon him. Mr. Xu , forgive me for not understanding your kindness."

"This is really a pity." Xu Guanwu said with a sense of loss. He originally wanted to take McDonald under his command. With the joining of this talented filmmaker, Xu Guanwu could make many classic films.But he never thought that McDonald would pretend to be smart, and suddenly thought of it as a nonsense, and regarded his proposal as a weasel giving a chicken New Year's greetings, which had no good intentions.So I readily rejected it.

But how did Mai Dangxiong know that Xu Guanwu is actually from a later generation, he has really seen many of his works, and he really appreciates his talent, so he invited him to join one after another.It is precisely because this willingness is too unimaginable and beyond the imagination of ordinary people, no matter how clever Mai Dangxiong is, it is impossible to think of this reason, so he naturally expressed extremely high vigilance against Xu Guanwu's unreasonable hospitality.

So sometimes being too smart is not necessarily a good thing. Later, when McDonald joined Xu, he was promoted by Xu Guanwu, and he realized that Xu Guanwu really valued his own talent, not because of other attempts. Immediately couldn't help feeling a little regretful.If I knew this was the case, why did I still suffer outside for two years? !
……

After Mai Dangxiong rejected Xu Guanwu's invitation, he returned to Li's with Xu Guanwu's kindness.When Huang Xizhao and others heard that Xu Guanwu expressed his support for this matter, they couldn't help but breathe a long sigh of relief.To be honest, they originally had no hope of forming an alliance. With TVB's current popularity, prestige, and income, there is no need to be afraid of Jiayi's counterattack, let alone form an alliance with Li's old enemy.

Besides, in order to compete with each other before, the two TV stations have used a lot of dirty tricks with each other.But I didn't expect Xu Guanwu to be so open-minded that he would express his support for this matter.For Lidi, who is currently at the end of her life, it really is another village.

When everyone in Li was very happy, Xu Guanwu also found Liang Shuyi, took her to TVB, and explained the matter to Mr. Li Xiaohe.

Hearing this news from him, Mr. Li Xiaohe, Ms. Liang Shuyi, and Mr. Zhong Jinghui couldn't help being stunned for a while. To be honest, Li's proposal is really a bit unimaginable and earth-shattering.

However, the three people present here are all very human, and they quickly understood the mystery. "I didn't expect Li to think of a way to break the situation with this move. It can be regarded as a dead end." Mr. Li Xiaohe nodded and said.

"Although this suggestion is a bit unexpected, it is a solution after thinking about it. It can be regarded as finding a way out for Li." Mr. Zhong Jinghui smiled and said, "Mr. Xu, what do you think?"

"I am more in favor of forming an alliance," Xu Guanwu said with a smile, "Sir Shao's move of combining verticals is very clever. He walked out of his own way, but broke our way. So he has the technique of combining verticals. We just use the technique of Lianheng. The hardware measures of Li’s TV station are still good. If we add our wireless software advantages, we will be able to compete with Jiayi. However, Jiayi has Li’s TV station occupying resources. It must be a day It won’t be easy either. So with the two of them restraining each other, we can sit on the sidelines and sit firmly on the Diaoyutai."

"Mr. Xu is not afraid of breeding tigers. One day, Li's will be too big to lose, and then we will be squeezed out?" Liang Shuyi asked with a smile, "Now Li's is facing business difficulties, so I want to get along with you. We form an alliance. Once its parent company turns around, or another powerful consortium takes over to restore Li's TV station, our wireless TV station will be in danger."

Xu Guanwu couldn't help laughing when Liang Shuyi said that. After the former Shili's TV station was taken over by Qiu Degen's boss, the wireless TV station did suffer a lot.Qiu Degen is a well-known banker in Hong Kong, and his Far East Bank has strong assets. With his large investment, Li's TV station changed its name to Asia TV, and indeed created many ratings miracles.For example, "Grace from the Earth", "Qin Shihuang", "Girl Empress Dowager Cixi", "Heroes Huo Yuanjia", etc., have aroused huge repercussions both in Hong Kong and in the Mainland, and caused a lot of trouble for TVB.

But even so, TVB still firmly occupies the top spot in ratings, and ATV has not let ATV steal the limelight.And in this life, there is Xu Guanwu who is strategizing at the center. Countless classic TV dramas and countless good-looking variety shows are stored in his mind.With all this information in his hands, Xu Guanwu is not afraid that Li will turn the world upside down.

"Don't worry, Li's is not that capable, and our TV station has a lot of talents, and I'm a big sponsor. Are you afraid that Li's will overshadow you?" 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 she couldn't help raising her head confidently when she heard Xu Guanwu's question.That's right, no matter how rich Li's new owner is, it's impossible for him to be as rich as Xu Guanwu, and he's willing to invest all his money in the TV station.Besides, Li has talents, and Wireless also has talents, so compared to the high and low, there is really no need to be afraid of Li.

The only one who held objections, Liang Shuyi, was finally persuaded by Xu Guanwu, so the four people present unanimously agreed to discuss this matter with Li's.However, although everyone expresses their support, and one party is quite willing, when it comes to specific issues, careful negotiations are still required.

For example, the scope of cooperation after the alliance, the shooting of TV dramas, the selection of personnel, the order of screenings, and so on.After a month and a half of intensive negotiations, Wireless and Li's finally signed an alliance agreement, and then announced the matter together.
