Hong Kong: Rise of the Kings

Since He Zuozhi already had the intention to sell his shares, Du Yongxiao directly negotiated with him in detail.

During this period, Du Yongxiao asked some questions about the current stage of Jiayi TV, especially about some Jiayi stars, such as Michelle Xue, Bai Biao, Wei Qiuhua, Zheng Yuling, etc.

But what surprised Du Yongxiao was that He Zuozhi mentioned one person, and that was the future genius director Quan Quan.

Du Yongxiao immediately told He Zuozhi that he was deeply impressed by this man. He was talented and his future would be limitless given time.

He Zuoyi looked strange and asked Du Yongxiao, "How could you know him when you're not at Jiayi? He's just a young director? He's still a newcomer."

Du Yongxiao smiled slightly, "I met him by chance and felt that he is a good person and should not be buried."

"Oh, really?" He Zuozhi couldn't understand. He didn't understand when Du Yongxiao knew this permission? He seems to think highly of this person.

Of course Du Yongxiao values ​​permission.

Who gives permission?

He will be the number one fantasy director in Hong Kong and even China in the future. His films such as "Shu Mountain", "New Dragon Gate Inn", "The Broken Knife Man", etc. are unmatched by anyone.

Out of curiosity, Du Yongxiao asked He Zuozhi if he could meet this person.

"Of course, you will be the largest shareholder of Jiayi from now on, and of course you can meet anyone in the company!" After He Zuozhi finished speaking, he said to the secretary: "Mary, call Director Xu and tell him that you have important matters to see him. , let him come over quickly!”

"Yes, boss!"

…

"Hey, Vietnamese boy! I heard that you work in a TV station. Do you have anything to take care of? I'll treat you to roast goose!"

Underneath Wan Chai Tenement House——

A bald man and three friends were drinking beer at a night market stall when they saw a skinny man saying.

"Don't be ridiculous, Master Ding. You have been lighting lanterns at Shaw Brothers for so many years and are well-known as a lantern god. Why do you need me to take care of you?" The thin man smiled at the bald head. Obviously, he was disgusted with the three "Vietnamese boys" Character.

"Haha, it was your dad who told you, right? Your dad and I are also friends. I firmly supported your family's migration from Yuenan to Hong Kong, and I also helped you get your first house. You found it!" Mr. Ding picked his teeth with a toothpick and said proudly.

"Yes, yes, that's why my dad keeps reminding me to remember your great kindness! But you don't have to tell me every time you see me, just keep it in your heart."

"What, you think I'm annoying?" Mr. Ding stood up from his chair, "Well, you know, I'm willing to talk to you, that's because I look down on you! Don't think that you won't be big after you go to the United States and know a few ABCs when you come back. No kidding! He also said that he wanted to be a director like someone else! Do you think you are Zhang Che or Li Hanxiang?”

The skinny man smiled bitterly and said: "Master Ding, don't be angry. I have never been arrogant, and I have never looked down on anyone. It's just that every time you see me, you call me Vietnamese. It's so annoying! Besides, I work at Jiayi Everyone knows that every time you mention Jiayi, you look disgusted. I know that you are from Shaw Brothers, and Shaw Brothers is from TVB. It is a competitor and mortal enemy of our TV station, but that is all work, and we guys have to deal with it. Isn’t it good for others?”

The three drinking friends next to him also advised Master Ding: "Yes, Xuexi is right. We all work for others. We don't have to have different positions just because the companies are different. We are all still good neighbors and good friends!"

Mr. Ding then snorted and sat down.

The person next to him poured him a beer and said, "Okay, let's drink!"

Ding Ye continued to drink.

Permission to go upstairs here.

As soon as I entered the house, I heard my mother say: "Why, did you quarrel with Mr. Ding again?"

Xu Xu took off his coat and handed it to his mother: "No, I just discussed acting skills."

"What kind of acting does he know about someone who helps light the crew? You don't have to lie to me. He is a good person, but he is a bit stubborn. He thinks that because he works for Shaw Brothers, he is a member of Shaw Brothers, and he targets you everywhere."

"No," Quan Quan walked to the table, poured a glass of water and drank it in one gulp. Then he continued to say to his mother, "I'm not an important person on the TV station. There's no need for him to target me."

Xu Xu looked a little sad when he said these words.

In 1966, after their family moved to Hong Kong, they began to go to school here. In 1969, they entered Southern Methodist University in Texas, USA. A year later, they stopped studying and traveled around the United States. Later, they transferred to the University of Texas to study radio and television/ During the film course, I co-produced a 45-minute documentary about Asian-Americans with a friend, "A Thousand Minutes, a New Road".

Since then, Quan has completely fallen in love with the film industry. It also coincides with the explosion of Hong Kong movies. Film companies such as Shaw Brothers and Golden Harvest have produced countless major movies that have influenced Hollywood, such as "Fist of Fury", "Way of the Dragon", etc. , which made Xu Xu feel hot inside. It happened that his father was in poor health and asked him to come back from the United States. Xu Xu returned to Hong Kong without hesitation and started applying for major film and television companies.

Quan always thinks very highly of himself. He believes that he has learned a lot of advanced film technology in the United States and is one of the top talents in Hong Kong. There will definitely be many big companies vying for him.

It's a pity that Xu Xu overestimated himself and underestimated Hong Kong's sophisticated society.

No matter what you do, you must pay attention to relationships. Just because you are talented does not mean you can kill everyone.

Xu Xu submitted many resumes, but nothing came to mind.

It made Xu Xu always feel that he was underappreciated for his talent, and almost suffered from depression.

After being unemployed for almost a year, an opportunity came. Jiayi expanded its production scale and recruited directors and producers. This time, Xu Ke was smart. When submitting his resume, he first called his father's friend. The friend worked at Jiayi and secretly sent his resume to the upper level.

With this relationship, Xu Ke was selected by the TV station without any surprise and became one of the new directors of the TV station.

Xu Ke originally thought that he could show his talents after entering the TV station, and the things he learned would be put to good use.

Unfortunately, ideals are full, and reality is skeletal.

The human relations and intrigues in the TV station are a hundred times more intense than those outside.

Xu Ke is also the kind of person who relies on his talent and is arrogant. How can he be willing to bow his head? For example, Fang Feihong, the new supervisor of the TV drama production department, doesn't like Xu Ke very much.

The reason is that when he took office, although Xu Ke and everyone held a welcome party for him, he did not take the initiative to toast him.

And when Fang Feihong wanted to win him over, Xu Ke was not interested and directly stated that he only liked to work and did not like to form cliques in the company, which directly angered Fang Feihong.

Seeing that Xu Ke was so disrespectful, Fang Feihong directly killed the chicken to scare the monkey and began to find various reasons to retaliate against Xu Ke. The TV series that Xu Ke was originally produced by was postponed indefinitely, and the TV series that Xu Ke was originally directed by was suspended due to insufficient funds and other reasons, so that Xu Ke was sitting on the bench in the company, letting everyone know that it was Fang Feihong who was making things difficult for Xu Ke. This was the end of disobedience and refusal.

Xu Ke never dreamed that he would be listed as a "negative example" by the new production supervisor. During this period, he was very depressed and had insomnia all night. Recently, he had to take medicine to sleep.

For this reason, he even considered whether to quit his current job, leave Jiayi, and find a new job, even if it was as a porter at a fruit stall.

Just when his mother hung up the clothes and went to the kitchen to help Xu Ke prepare supper, the phone at home rang.

"Who's calling so late?" Xu Ke muttered, afraid that the ringing of the phone would wake up other people at home, so he hurriedly picked up the phone: "Hello, who are you looking for?"

The voice of the female secretary Maria came from the other end of the phone: "Is it Director Xu Ke? I'm the secretary of Jiayi's president Mr. He, and this is what happened..."

Xu Ke was stunned after hearing this!

What?

Jiayi is going to change?

Someone is going to become the new helmsman of Jiayi? This helmsman actually asked to see him? And said he was very familiar with him?

How is it possible?

Xu Ke was at a loss for a while, and hurriedly said: "Okay, I'll go over now!"

I didn't care about much, and hurriedly put on my clothes.

My mother brought out the midnight snack and saw him opening the door and hurriedly said: "What's wrong, you just came back and went out again? You don't want to eat?"

"No! There's something important!" Xu Ke vaguely felt that the opportunity seemed to have come.

Jiayi changed, and he knew it first, and more importantly, the new owner seemed to be very curious about him.

Opportunity!

This is definitely an opportunity!

...

Dongdongdong!

"Come in!"

When Xu Ke knocked on the door of the hotel room, he saw a young man in white sitting on the sofa, looking at him with curiosity.

Next to the young man sat He Zuozhi, the boss of Jiayi TV, and Maria, the secretary.

As a leader among young directors, Xu Ke had seen He Zuozhi several times, so he could recognize him at first sight, but it was the first time he saw Du Yongxiao. In addition, Du Yongxiao was too young, so he didn't dare to think that the new helmsman was the young man in white.

Xu Ke looked around and said to He Zuozhi: "Hello, Mr. He, is that gentleman not here yet? Do you want me to wait for him outside first?"

He Zuozhi smiled and pointed at Du Yongxiao and said: "What do you mean he hasn't arrived yet? That gentleman is him!"

"Ah, what?" Xu Ke was shocked.

He never thought that the young man sitting in front of him was the new owner of Jiayi TV.

"Let's meet," Du Yongxiao looked at Xu Ke who was surprised, and stretched out his hand and said, "My name is Du Yongxiao."

Xu Ke woke up from his astonishment and shook his hand hurriedly: "I am Xu Ke, working at Jiayi TV Station, specifically as a director and producer."

"Nice to meet you!" Du Yongxiao looked at him.

Xu Ke felt that his eyes were very sharp, as if he saw through everything about him.

Awesome!

This was Xu Ke's first impression of Du Yongxiao. The idea that Du Yongxiao was too young was immediately gone. This was a scary young man, and this kind of look alone could kill people.

He Zuozhi explained beside him: "Mr. Du is not an ordinary person. He is the big boss of the Hong Kong Du Group and the Commissioner of Police of Hong Kong!"

Boom!

Xu Ke's head exploded.

Du Group?

Commissioner of Police?

These two alone are enough to make people explode, but they did not expect to appear on the same person at the same time.

Xu Ke looked at Du Yongxiao, and for some reason, he felt his scalp tingling.

He Zuozhi saw Xu Ke's expression and said that he could understand it. For someone of his status and position, being able to shake hands with a big shot like Du Yongxiao here was an honor that would make his ancestors' graves smoke.

"Okay, everyone stop standing, sit down and talk!" He Zuozhi asked everyone to sit down, and then asked the female secretary to pour coffee and bring it to Xu Ke, saying, "Well, Mr. Du will soon be the helm of Jiayi TV. This time he specifically asked to see you, saying that you are a top talent. Now he hopes you can say a few words about your work, don't let me down!"

He Zuozhi said this, on the one hand, he was curious about what Du Yongxiao's vision was like?

If Xu Xu was really powerful, then He Zuozhi would have to admit that Du Yongxiao was a real talent. It would be better to leave Jiayi to him than in his own hands, and he would be convinced of the defeat.

Xuexi knew that this was the real opportunity.

Must be caught.

So Xuquan started talking to the two of them according to what he had in mind.

Du Yongxiao was already aware of Xu Xu's talent in his previous life, so he was not surprised or surprised by the words that came out of Xu Xu's mouth.

But for He Zuozhi, this was the first time he had a heart-to-heart talk with a "low-level" employee about work. Unexpectedly -

The license directly opened a new door to the film and television world for him.

In particular, Quan Quan suggested learning from American Hollywood and using special effects in TV dramas, which directly broke He Zuozhi's perception.

Because the cost of special effects is too high, they are generally used in movie shootings. There are many TV series and series, and they simply cannot afford this kind of intensity.

But Xuexi said that special effects are like commodities, some are expensive and some are cheap.

When he was studying in the United States, he discovered that many special effects can actually be solved with cheaper methods. For example, the "laser special effects" in martial arts can be accomplished by using searchlights to cover different colored tapes, instead of actually using lasers. In this way, the cost will be reduced from one hundred yuan to one yuan.

Immediately afterwards, Xu Xu gave many examples, which made He Zuozhi stunned.

Even if he didn't want to admit it at this moment, this permission was indeed a talent.

When I talked about these special effects, I was very ambitious, thinking that they would definitely make people’s eyes brighten and make them look at me with admiration.

But when he looked at Du Yongxiao out of the corner of his eye, he found that Du Yongxiao's expression was very calm, and he was not shocked at all by his amazing creativity.

For a moment, Xu Li, who was full of confidence, felt a little unconfident. Even He Zuozhi was shocked by his talent, but this Du Yongxiao was still so calm. What's going on? Could it be that he has a very high vision and I still don’t understand him?

Xu Xu didn't know that what he was talking about was what Du Yongxiao had seen in his previous life, and it was also what many directors had done, so it was not unusual at all. But in this era, being able to have this kind of innovation and this kind of thinking once again proves that Xuancheng is a rare talent.

Just when Xu Xu was worried and confused, Du Yongxiao suddenly said: "Director Xu, I am very interested in what you just said, and I also think you are a talented person! Let's do this, I will settle in Jiayi I need someone to help me after the TV show, would you be willing?"

"Huh? What?" Xu Xu was stunned.

Du Yongxiao continued: "What is the name of the director of the TV series production department? Is it Fang Feihong?" Du Yongxiao continued, "I feel that he is not very suitable. Would you like to give it a try as a director?"

"Ahem, what?" Xu Xu almost choked to death, staring at Du Yongxiao.

"Why, are you unwilling, Director Xu?"

Xu Xu stood up in a hurry: "No, no, no! No, I do!" He was almost excited to death, for fear that Du Yongxiao would regret it.

Du Yongxiao stood up with a smile, stretched out his hand and said, "Then I wish you a promotion!"

"Huh?" Xu Xu hurriedly grasped it: "Thank you, Mr. Du, for trusting me! Thank you, Mr. Du, for giving me the opportunity!"

Woohoo!

Li almost cried.

All the hard work comes with joy! This is it!

He Zuozhi looked at this scene and couldn't help but sigh. This Du Yongxiao is really amazing. He has found such a great talent before he even settled in Jiayi. It's a pity that he has led Jiayi for more than a year and he didn't find it?

People are so irritating!

It seems that I am really not suitable for entertainment.

Appoint it!

He Zuozhi felt miserable inside.

Permission but joy.

Mother's head,

Unexpectedly, after such a trip, the delivery room brought good news - I gave birth!

He looked at Du Yongxiao again and called the scholar a confidant, death!

For Mr. Du, he will risk his life!
