This man knows how to hype

Chapter 249 I'm Willing to Give You a Chance
Ji Libo is very troubled now.

It's just a happy trouble.

Because just an hour ago, he had met with the head of the film and television investment department of Donghai Media, who said that Qi Xiangyang wanted to invest in his "New Mythology: Wukong".

This incident made Ji Libo feel like all the pores on his body opened up.

Wow, no one invested in me before, but now Xu Xiyu and Qi Xiangyang are rushing to invest in me.

Sure enough, my talent is like the bright moon in the sky. Although it is sometimes covered by dark clouds, it can never be hidden.

The most important thing is that Xu Xiyu and Qi Xiangyang are obviously competing with each other now.

In this way, wouldn't I be able to maneuver between the two people and continuously raise my price?

As the saying goes, do what you say. With the mentality of raising prices, Ji Libo took the initiative to find Xu Xiyu who had just finished chatting with a senior executive.

As soon as he entered, before Xu Xiyu could say anything, he said in a serious tone: "Traitors, all of them are traitors, President Xu, don't worry, I won't be a traitor.

Qi Xiangyang from Donghai just said he wanted to invest in my project, but I rejected him outright. I told him that you were the first one to talk to me about this project, so if they want to invest, you must be given priority, right? "

Hearing this, Xu Xiyu was not very surprised.

He even guessed Qi Xiangyang's purpose in an instant. He was planning to fool the silly boy. Ji Libo had been looking for investment for this project for a long time.

Why couldn't Qi Xiangyang come to vote at any other time? Why did he have to come at this time?

However, even though he thought so in his heart, Xu Xiyu pretended to be touched and smiled, "Brother Ji, Hua Qing is in this situation now. I feel much better after hearing your words."

"Mr. Xu, please don't be too sad. After all, you have just taken over the company, and there will be troubles of this or that kind. Just wait until things are sorted out." Ji Libo hurriedly comforted.

After comforting him, he added: "Do you know what Qi Xiangyang said? He said Huaqing has financial problems now and can't afford to invest in my project.

I cursed back at that time, who are you looking down on? Who am I, Mr. Xu? How can I not afford the investment of 700 to 800 million? Isn’t this funny? "

After these words were spoken, even a player as carefree as Xu Xiyu was shocked by Ji Libo.

Good guy.

You really dare to speak up.

Seven hundred or eight hundred million?
Am I crazy to invest 700 million or 800 million in you?
Do you know how much it cost to produce "The Wandering Earth"?
Thinking of this, Xu Xiyu deliberately clapped his hands and said, "Brother Ji, what you said is very encouraging. If he contacts you again in the future, you might as well make it clearer.

Just tell him that your project is related to Huaqing's layout for the next ten years, and tell him to give up the idea and stop contacting you, so that I won't misunderstand you."

"Hey, Mr. Xu, you must not misunderstand me. I will always stand with our Huaqing." Upon hearing this, Ji Libo suppressed his joy and expressed his attitude.

After he expressed his opinion, he was about to say something else, but Xu Xiyu didn't want to talk nonsense with him anymore, so he changed the subject and said, "Oh, by the way, you have an assistant director named Tao Mingzhou, right?"

"Um...yes, what's wrong, Mr. Xu?" Ji Libo was a little confused.

"I trust your people, so I will not only fully support you, but I will also train your people well. So, call Tao Mingzhou over. I have a small project I want him to try."

Ji Libo's face froze after hearing this.

Don’t pay attention to what he said in front of Tao Mingzhou before. Let Xu Xiyu invest in Tao Mingzhou in the future.

Those were just polite words. Now that he saw Xu Xiyu really wanted to arrange a project for Tao Mingzhou, his first reaction was unwillingness.

So he hurriedly asked, "Mr. Xu, what project is it? How much is the investment scale?"

"It's not a lot of money, just a small project worth tens of millions. After all, our company has a big project waiting to spend money. How can I give him so much budget, don't you think?" Having said this, Xu Xiyu deliberately paused.

So as to make Ji Libo misunderstand that the big project is "New Mythology: Wukong".

Then he continued: "This project is just a small supplement. After all, we are a film company. We can't produce only one film a year, right?"

"That's the truth, that's the truth." Ji Libo nodded while thinking.

"Well, give him a call and ask him to come over now." Xu Xiyu urged without giving him time to think.

However, Ji Libo did not make a phone call. Instead, he deliberately touched his pocket and said, "Oh, I forgot my phone in the car. It's okay. He is resting in the rest area of ​​the company. I will go to call him and he will be here soon."

When Xu Xiyu heard this, he knew that this grandson was planning to do a favor.

But he didn't expose it, but nodded and signaled him to go quickly.

Soon, Ji Libo ran out.

About ten minutes later, he found Tao Mingzhou lying on the massage chair and said, "Old Tao, you really have to thank me this time."

Such a sudden sentence made Tao Mingzhou stunned.

I was just about to ask what was going on.

Then I heard Ji Libo continue: "Didn't I tell you before that I would let Xu Xiyu invest in you? Today, I finally got it done after talking so hard. Don't just lie there, hurry up, Xu Xiyu is looking for you."

"Is it true?" Tao Mingzhou still looked a little confused.

"Could it be fake? Come on, follow me." Ji Libo pulled Tao Mingzhou away without saying a word.

At this time Tao Mingzhou finally reacted, his face burst into surprise, and he followed and said, "Director Ji, this...this, this, I don't know what to say." "What you say is not important, the key is how to do it. Old Tao, you must know how to be grateful and never learn from those traitors." Ji Libo said meaningfully.

When Tao Mingzhou heard this, he nodded quickly. He thought Ji Libo was talking about the employees who had changed jobs at Huaqing, so he said, "Don't worry, I will definitely repay Mr. Xu and create benefits for our Huaqing."

But when Ji Libo heard this, he suddenly felt a little disgusted.

Lao Tao, are you only repaying Mr. Xu?
Don't you plan to repay me?

Aren't you ignorant at all?
He felt annoyed in his heart, but he couldn't say much on the surface. He could only take Tao Mingzhou to Xu Xiyu's office.

The chairman's office is a suite. To enter Xu Xiyu's office, one has to pass through assistant Shan Xinbao's office outside.

As soon as the two arrived, Shan Xinbao stood up and stopped them, saying, "Director Ji, President Xu wants to talk to Director Tao alone. He asked you to take care of your own business first and will talk to you later."

As soon as these words came out, Ji Libo's face froze obviously.

Chat alone?

What does this mean?
Is there anything I can't listen to?

Huaqing's future will depend on me, so the 7.9% equity incentive is obviously prepared for me.

Tao Mingzhou also showed some embarrassment.

Shan Xinbao didn't care about this matter and just continued to stop them. She would not let the two of them in unless Ji Libo left.

After a stalemate of more than ten seconds, Ji Libo couldn't force him to stay, so he could only pat Tao Mingzhou on the shoulder and remind him again: "Old Tao, you have to be grateful."

"Well, don't worry, I will always remember your support." Tao Mingzhou is not stupid, he understands what Ji Libo means.

After hearing this, Ji Libo finally felt relieved.

After glancing at Shan Xinbao, he cursed in his heart, "You little girl is so ignorant. Why don't you just fool me and let me in? Hua Qing will have to rely on me for food in the future, do you understand?" and then.

He walked away in a square step.

At this time, Tao Mingzhou also pushed the door open and greeted him, "Mr. Xu."

"Please sit anywhere." Xu Xiyu said with a warm smile.

After Tao Mingzhou sat down, Xu Xiyu made him some tea and said with a smile, "Director Tao, I am your fan."

"Ah?" Tao Mingzhou was stunned by these words.

"When I was in school, I always ate with "Embarrassing Diary". So, of all the directors of Huaqing, you are the first one I know and the one I am most familiar with." Xu Xiyu said as he placed a cup in front of Tao Mingzhou.

When he said this, he was actually telling Tao Mingzhou.

I'm talking to you because I know you, not because of Ji Libo or something like that. Don't do this favor to the wrong person.

Xu Xiyu read Tao Mingzhou's information carefully.

The evaluation from the HR department is that his strengths are that he is hard-working and humorous. His weaknesses are that he is not a professional, but a "self-taught" person who rose to prominence in the Internet age.

In fact, Xu Xiyu had heard of Tao Mingzhou's name before.

Before joining Huaqing, he had filmed some online short dramas, such as the "Embarrassing Diary" that Xu Xiyu just mentioned, which is a comedy short drama similar to "Never Expected" and "Report to the Boss".

Of course, "Qiuqiu Diary" is not as popular as Wanhe Tianyi's dramas.

However, even for a popular company like Wanhe Tianyi, directors such as Jiaoshou Yi Xiaoxing and Liu Xunzimo have no status in the entertainment industry.

What's more, without them, Tao Mingzhou would not be as famous as them.

He was able to work as an assistant director for Ji Libo, which was already a stable job.

After all, although Ji Libo's "New Mythology: Wukong" took five years to prepare, it does not mean that he did not do other work during these five years.

In fact, he has directed several projects in the past five years, but none of them were very successful.

At this moment, Tao Mingzhou heard that Xu Xiyu had read "Embarrassing Diary", and for a moment he didn't know how to say the words he had prepared on the way.

Of course, he still understood what Xu Xiyu meant.

So, he became speechless towards Ji Libo in his heart.

Did you even work hard to get the project for yourself?

How can you have the nerve to say that?
Xu Xiyu didn't beat around the bush and said directly: "I have a movie on hand, a workplace comedy style, which is very suitable for you. I have the script, you can shoot it according to the script, how about it, are you interested?"

"Yes, definitely." Tao Mingzhou replied without any thought.

"But there are special arrangements for the filming schedule. I'll give you one week. You need to help me shoot a promotional video first. It should be similar to the fast-paced short film style of "The Embarrassing Diary"."

"No problem." Tao Mingzhou still agreed quickly without any hesitation.
