This man knows how to hype

Chapter 498: Tell a story that the boss likes

As the saying goes, one monk carries water to eat, two monks carry water to eat, and three monks have no water to eat.

A similar situation happened to Xu Xiyu.

All three of his girlfriends were there, so he couldn't go to anyone's place that night.

In the end, I could only find an excuse that I had to sort out the handover documents, and I had to sleep in the lounge of the office suite for the next few days.

Fortunately, he did live in the office in the past few days, so this decision did not seem abrupt.

Moreover, the three women knew everything, so they pretended not to know and went back to their own homes.

In fact, Lu Qinyao returned the most thoroughly, she went straight back to Shanghai.

If all goes well, she will stay in Shanghai for almost a year.

Ke Xinying and Yang Xueqing are both from Beijing, so they naturally stay in Beijing.

After they left, Xu Xiyu didn't do anything else, but was actually sorting out the content of the work handover.

Not only was he sorting things out, but Qiao Shuangshuang, Jiang Yue and other senior executives of Xu Xiyu were also sorting out the handover content. A group of people all began to treat the company as their home.

About a week passed like this.

Some middle and senior management staff of Huaqing began to resign one after another. Some of them stayed in Beijing, while others went directly to Shanghai.

Two weeks later, Xu Xiyu stood downstairs of Huaqing, looking back at the place where he had worked for several years. Under the watch of many people, he got into the car and left, completely getting away from Huaqing.

The entry #徐希羽出发华晴# also became a hot search.

What followed was the news of #Huaqing acquiring Donghai Media#.

This news revealed that Huaqing and Donghai Media will merge through share exchange to form "Huahai Media", and also said that they want to build the number one flagship entertainment company in the domestic entertainment industry.

I don’t know whether I can become the first, but one thing is certain.

That is, what Zhang Jianbai said in the office before, "Huaqing is the number one stock in the entertainment industry and has special significance for the industry", blah blah, is all bullshit.

He didn't even plan to keep the "Hua Qing" sign.

As for the news about Zhang Yujiao starring in "Shanghai Fortress" and Wang Yuruo starring in "New Paradise: Wangxian 2", I haven't heard any news about it.

After all, releasing such news to the public at this time would not do any good for Zhang Yujiao and Wang Yuruo.

Although Xu Xiyu is "annoying" in the industry, he still has many fans among the audience.

Especially "New Paradise · Wangxian 2", many viewers are looking forward to this IP.

If the news of "Wang Yuruo replacing Lu Qinyao" was announced at this time, it would most likely be overwhelmed by fans of the drama and Lu Qinyao's fans.

Since Zhang Jianbai and others did not announce it, Xu Xiyu naturally would not hype the news.

He was afraid of overspending, so Zhang Jianbai and his team decided not to shoot "New Paradise · Wangxian 2". Even though it is a TV series, the investment in it is no less than that of a movie.

This brings up a question, and many people may be curious: Can't the people in Huahai see that there are problems with "Shanghai Fortress", "New Paradise: Wangxian 2" and "Super Family"?

In fact, it is not noticeable because there is nothing wrong with the story.

Many of the bad movies you see actually have no major flaws in the beginning of the story, but many problems arose during the filming process, leading to a terrible final result.

This example may not be intuitive enough. Is there anything wrong with the story of "The Three-Body Problem"?

No problem for sure.

But Yihua Kaitian’s “The Three-Body Problem” animation is still made to look that good.

This is still animation.

If real people are used instead, there will be more problems. Some "highly respected" actors like to change the script, and some actors are not good enough to speak lines longer than one line. These are all factors that lead to uncontrollable quality of the finished film.

The reason why Xu Xiyu can do every project well is not only because his team does not dare to change his work, but also because he has excellent finished films as reference in his mind.

As for this group of people at Huahai, let alone "The Fortress of Shanghai", even if you give them the script of "The Wandering Earth", they still won't be able to shoot it well.

It’s not that they don’t have the ability, it’s that they don’t have the concept at all.

They will habitually use the creative methods they are familiar with, which is often called "path dependence". Coincidentally, there is no science fiction film model in their path.

This is why some domestic directors turn everything they shoot into a "romance drama"; there is always a Madonna in the Hollywood protagonist group as the driving force of troubles and conflicts. This is all path dependence.

In this case, if they could have made "The Fortress of Shanghai", "New Paradise: Wangxian 2" and "Super Family", the worst movie ever made by Happy Twist, well.

Then Xu Xiyu also admitted it.

You have to admit it. They have turned decay into magic. What can you do?

Thinking of this, Xu Xiyu stretched lazily while sitting in the car, and then smiled at Shan Xinbao and said, "How about I give you a half-month vacation to rest?"

"Then who will arrange your itinerary?" Shan Xinbao was stunned when he heard this.

Xu Xiyu resigned, but that didn't mean he had nothing to do. He just didn't have to deal with the company's trivial matters, but he still had a lot of other work to do.

Xu Xiyu was about to speak when his cell phone rang. He picked it up and looked at it, his expression was a little strange, because the call was from Yang Wanwan's mother Chen Peiduo. To be honest, Xu Xiyu originally thought that when the news of his "loss of power" spread, Chen Peiduo might be the first to betray.

Unexpectedly, among the Hong Kong and Taiwan partners, even Cheng Guangzu of Jiahe were playing dumb, thinking of making a statement after the situation became clearer.

Instead, it was Chen Peiduo who rushed to Beijing to show her loyalty first, and her attitude was extremely firm.

This made Xu Xiyu extremely surprised.

Later he understood, in Chen Peiduo's own words: First, she didn't believe that Xu Xiyu would lose power. How could someone with such strong skills lose power?
Even if I leave Huaqing, it's just a matter of developing in a different place, which is no different from before.

This is also true. During the days of handing over work, Xu Xiyu received hints from the competent authorities more than once, asking him to focus on his creation and not think about other things.

In fact, Zhu Ming, who came to the office to question us last time, also probably reflected some official attitudes.

Zhu Ming never made things difficult for Xu Xiyu. The questions he asked were more like questions about catching Du Zhiping.

The second reason why Chen Peiduo expressed her loyalty was because she was different from Cheng Guangzu and others. Cheng Guangzu's status in Hong Kong was gained through his previous experiences. Whether Xu Xiyu was there or not, he was still "Brother Zu" in Hong Kong.

The reason why Chen Peiduo has become known as "Sister Duo" in Taiwan is entirely because she followed Xu Xiyu and had a stable channel to enter the mainland to make money.

You know, ever since the last time the Blue Planet blocked Taiwanese entertainment in the mainland, it has not been completely relaxed until now. Many Taiwanese artists still cannot get in without any channels.

Therefore, once she cuts off Xu Xiyu's path and there is no other path to fill it, Chen Peiduo will immediately become "Little Chen" again.

People are complicated. Chen Peiduo is quite clear about some things. But when it comes to the positioning of her daughter and son, she seems to be living in an ancient family and is quite confused.

Perhaps, another reason why she didn't become a traitor was because of Yang Wanwan. She had already given away her daughter, and she had to make enough money before considering "breaking up".

Thinking of this, Xu Xiyu answered the phone and just said "Hello".

Then Chen Peiduo smiled and said, "Boss Xu, I'm in Beijing. Where are you? Is it convenient for me to report to you about my work?"

"Have you met Wanwan?" Xu Xiyu did not answer this question, but asked another question.

"No, she hasn't finished school yet. I'm going to pick her up when I report to you."

"How about this, you two mother and daughter haven't seen each other for a long time, and tomorrow is the weekend, so you can get together first, and there's no rush to report on your work.

I remember that you don’t seem to have any other projects besides the Infernal Affairs 2 you are working on with Jiahe.” Xu Xiyu said calmly.

"That's what I'm talking about. Brother Joe discussed with me that both the Hong Kong Film Awards and the Golden Horse Awards will be presented. If nothing unexpected happens, Infernal Affairs and The Intouchables will receive multiple nominations in both categories.

Therefore, I would like to invite you, Teacher Qinyao, and Xiaoyu to visit Hong Kong and Taiwan. Don’t worry, the Best Actress will definitely be Qinyao. This has already been agreed upon.”

As soon as these words came out, Xu Xiyu instinctively wanted to refuse.

The fact that "The Intouchables" won the Golden Lion Award, Best Actress, and Best Newcomer even though she was not in Venice is enough to add a highlight to Lv Qinyao's acting career.

The Hong Kong Film Awards and the Golden Horse Awards seem a bit useless.

As for whether "Infernal Affairs" wins an award or not, Xu Xiyu doesn't care at all.

He didn't want to go anywhere now. He just wanted to go back and have a good sleep for a few days, and then go to the northwest to find Hu Ningwei to finish the interview.

But as soon as the words of refusal came to his lips, he realized that something was wrong.

Why did I spend so much time and effort to get into the entertainment circles of Hong Kong and Taiwan?
In addition to helping Lu Qinyao win the award, isn't the bigger reason to use the special status of these two regions to gain some special hidden buffs for yourself?
Now accidents have happened in Hu Ningtian's family and Li Yiguang's family one after another. Although their superiors have asked them to focus on their creations, they are always afraid of the unexpected. What if things change and affect them?

After all, no one had imagined that Li Yiguang's father could suddenly do such a cruel thing to Du Zhiping and Hu Ningtian.

Therefore, this hidden buff is really effective, and you really need to visit Hong Kong and Taiwan.

And, there’s one more thing.

That is to take advantage of this opportunity to announce to the public that Lu Qinyao is "sick" and needs to rest for a year or two.

In other words, Lu Qinyao will not go, and Yu Yuyu will go with her.

This girl's grandfather is an old subordinate of Hu Ningtian's grandfather, and the two families seem to have some business involvement. Taking her to Taiwan and Hong Kong for a visit can also help to buff her.

Thinking of this, Xu Xiyu said to the phone: "Peduo, bring Wanwan to my house in the evening. It's a good time to talk to you about the new project."

Xu Xiyu does have a new project to work on, a TV drama project, which was inspired by Hu Ningwei's visit to the northwest to interview about the Three Norths Project.

In the construction area of ​​the Three Norths Project, there is a very famous area called Xihaigu.

That’s right, this is where the story of “Mountains and Seas” takes place.

"Mountains and Seas" is a good TV show. It not only talks about poverty alleviation work, but also environmental protection projects and assistance policies (Ningxia and Fujian Construction).

I also don’t know the story that “Hu Ningwei was deeply moved after watching the Three Norths Project, and then joined forces with Xu Xiyu to bring in investors from Hong Kong and Taiwan, and invested in "Mountains and Seas" together as one family across the Taiwan Straits and Hong Kong.”

The bosses like it or not.

Not only that, one of the favorite themes of Zhang Jianbai's group of old guys is "poor rural areas", but the angle of their shooting is different from that of "Mountains and Seas".

Xu Xiyu has not forgotten his original idea of ​​"teaching forehand and backhand".

This time, let Zhang Jianbai and his group of veterans see how they shoot scenes in poverty-stricken areas.
