Chapter 521 The Furry Chairman of the Board
Huang Xizhao was shocked. Yu Jingwei knew about the boss?
On the surface, no one at ATV knows that Wang Yuanchao is the big boss!
In secret, well, it's impossible to keep this secret completely for so many years.
But no one dares to ask, and no one admits it, right?
Moreover, the boss’ style is very similar to Yu Jingwei, both of them are romantic figures!
When Yu Jingwei saw Huang Xizhao's expression, his eyes widened. KIAO! Wang Yuanchao is really the big boss of ATV!
Otherwise, Huang Xizhao would definitely not have this expression!
He didn’t say who the big boss was, did he?
It seems that Wang Yuanchao was being modest when he said before that he had some shares in ATV.
Huang Xizhao was worried that Yu Jingwei was deceiving him, and his panicked expression instantly calmed down. He said:
"If you have something to say, just say it. Why are you making so much noise? Do you look like the general manager of TVB?"
Yu Jingwei already had a rough idea in his mind and said:
"Our station has approved the project of The Bund, and Boss Wang personally recommended your Zhao Yazhi to play the leading female role! I was worried that you wouldn't let her go, so I came to say hello to you. Otherwise, do you think you want me to come running to you?"
Huang Xizhao's expression really changed at this moment.
I haven't heard what the boss thinks of Xiao Zhao?
what?
Does this matter have to be arranged by this guy Yu Jingwei?
Isn't that a failure on my part as the general manager?
Or does the boss feel that he and Yu Jingwei have similar tastes, oh no, similar interests, so he asked Yu Jingwei to help bring them together?
The key point is, the boss doesn’t need matchmaking, right?
Xiao Zhao, you won’t refuse such a good thing, right?
Facing Wang Yuanchao, the richest Chinese in Hong Kong, and even the richest man in Hong Kong, Huang Xizhao is only the general manager of one of his businesses, so he certainly lacks confidence. He feels that he made a mistake, focusing on his work and forgetting that his boss is also a young man.
He took a deep breath and said:
"I will personally brief Xiao Zhao on this. Don't worry, it won't delay your new project. You know, Xiao Zhao is very dedicated."
Yu Jingwei laughed and said:
"Well, do you want to arrange a drinking party?
You guy, you haven't sent her to Boss Wang for all these years. You are like a rotten tree that cannot be carved.
Look at me, Boss Wang called me and came over to make arrangements in person!"
Seeing Yu Jingwei's smug look, Huang Xizhao still didn't dare to agree directly. He had to ask the boss for permission, right? So he said:
"Don't be so loud-mouthed and ruin our boss's reputation."
Yu Jingwei immediately stopped smiling and said:
"Look at what you said. Isn't it in your office? If I don't keep my mouth shut, will Boss Wang punish me?
Okay, I have notified everyone, please send the people to our crew as soon as possible.
Our conditions are a bit difficult, and we have to pay you a large sum of money. If you are grateful to me, please give me a discount!"
After talking about something else, Yu Jingwei left with satisfaction.
Regardless, Wang Yuanchao had done what he asked, and he didn't have to pay any extra money for the film. How dare Huang Xizhao not give him a discount? Without his suggestion, Huang would have lost the emperor's favor sooner or later!
Huang Xizhao called the person in charge of the agency and learned about Zhao Yazhi's follow-up arrangements, and found that there was already a project lined up there.
If she wants to star in TVB's "The Bund", she will have to give up her own projects. However, ATV is not short of talent. If Zhao Yazhi is not there, there are others to take her place.
So he carefully called his boss:
"Hello~" came Wang Yuanchao's voice.
This is Wang Yuanchao's office phone, not the one that the secretary answers outside.
Huang Xizhao is one of the few managers who can make this call directly without going through a secretary.
"Boss, this is ATV Huang Xizhao. Would it be convenient for me to give you a brief report on my work?"
Wang Yuanchao said in a clear voice:
"Oh, Old Huang! What's the matter?"
Huang Xizhao said carefully:
"TVB invited Zhao Yazhi to star in "The Bund", saying that it was you who took care of it."
Wang Yuanchao heard this and said with a smile:
"Oh, Lao Yu is so efficient? I just found out they have this project, and I think Yazhi is a good fit."
Huang Xizhao's heartbeat unconsciously quickened.
Listen, the boss said that Lao Yu is very efficient!
Isn't that what Feng Liuyu said? Old Huang has been doing this for so many years and he doesn't have any foresight at all. Does he still want Feng Liuyu to do such a small thing?
That means he is inefficient!!!
Having been in charge of ATV for several years, Lao Huang considers himself to have contributed a lot to the company, but his relationship with the boss is mostly official and the relationship is not in place.
This is the root of the problem: Mr. Huang has no good eyesight!
Not as good as Yu Jingwei, an outsider! Huang Xizhao immediately smiled carefully and said:
"Boss, Xiao Zhao learned that you personally recommended her to star in The Bund, and she told me that she must treat you to a drink to thank you for your cultivation. When would it be convenient for you to do so? I really can't refuse her request."
Wang Yuanchao exclaimed:
"Why, she knows it was me who recommended her? Um..." Since I was the one who recommended her, I guess TVB would tell them too, so she continued, "I just... well, tomorrow night, I have to go on a long trip later."
It has been a long time since I talked about work with Huang Xizhao and others. It was nice to have a work drink with a female star as my companion.
Huang Xizhao lied a little, Zhao Yazhi didn't know about it at all, but he arranged a drinking party for the boss on behalf of others. And the boss didn't refuse, on the contrary, he arranged a time very early!
Huang Xizhao swallowed his saliva and said:
"Okay, boss. I've arranged the itinerary and sent it to your assistant!"
Wang Yuanchao nodded and hung up the phone.
Huang Xizhao then let out a long sigh. Without taking time to blame himself, he called his secretary to ask Zhao Yazhi to come over.
Zhao Yazhi can be considered one of ATV's leading actresses, but she is still far behind the general manager Huang Xizhao.
When she heard the general manager calling her over, she quickly went to the bathroom to tidy up, then followed the secretary. On the way, she did not forget to ask the general manager what he wanted to see her about.
The secretary was very polite. Although he didn't know what the matter was, he knew that the boss said "please"!
When they arrived at the general manager's office, the secretary consciously left and closed the door.
Huang Xizhao stood up and invited Zhao Yazhi to sit on the reception sofa next to him, which seemed closer than sitting behind the desk.
"Xiao Zhao, I see that your performance schedule is very full recently. Can you handle it?"
Zhao Yazhi only sat half of her butt on the sofa, with her legs slanted together, and her posture was still very elegant.
In fact, Zhao Yazhi is so popular now, having become famous earlier than in history, and his family conflicts are already very prominent.
She became screen lovers with various handsome guys such as Adam Cheng, and all major newspapers would make up some stories about her. Her husband was from a doctor's family, and sometimes her colleagues would joke about her, "Your wife is playing husband and wife with so-and-so handsome guy again." As a traditional middle-class person, they still have opinions about this.
But she earns so much, because the entertainment industry in Hong Kong is being reformed by Wang Yuanchao. She handed over all the financial power to him, and whenever she was at home, she would wash her husband's underwear, socks and other clothes herself, and she would also help him peel and cut fruits. She would not fight back or talk back, and was extremely gentle, virtuous and tolerant, and the marriage was barely maintained.
Therefore, regarding the general manager's sudden concern, she thought that he had heard about the family conflict and was worried about affecting the work, so she quickly said:
“The company has trained me to where I am today, and it is my duty to make more contributions to the company.
The children at home have their grandmother and nanny to help them, and my husband is also devoted to his career as a doctor, so he doesn’t need me to be distracted, so everything is OK.”
Zhao Yazhi has an elegant figure and speaks in a gentle and appropriate manner. She is indeed the dream lover of many men in Hong Kong.
Huang Xizhao felt that he had been working in the workplace for so long and neglected it! He himself was not interested in women, but how could he judge others by himself?
Moreover, the people below him sometimes make friends with each other, and he knows a lot about it, but, alas, he doesn't mention it.
However, if asked to speak up for himself as a pimp, he felt a little reluctant to do so, because he had a very good reputation in the station and he was not interested in women!
But he didn't dare to let others do this job.
Yu Jingwei, an outsider, could do this, so he must be the boss's trusted subordinate, right? Why did he make such a big fuss about such a small matter and let everyone know about it?
"Well, that's good. TVB has just started a new drama, which needs to be edited and filmed at the same time. It mainly tells the story of love, hatred and vengeance in Shanghai during the Republic of China.
The boss thinks you are a perfect match for the heroine in the film, so he asked me to make time for you."
Zhao Yazhi was stunned. Big boss?
Recommended by the big boss, Zhao Yazhi, who is not a simple rookie in the entertainment industry, of course understands what it means.
She also knew that ATV was invested and controlled by Americans. The American chairman of the board would occasionally appear in the company, but generally did not interact with their subordinates.
So, big boss, is it that American guy? ?
It's been so long, is that hairy looking boss going to take action against her???
She emotionally wanted to refuse.
But she dared not.
Although she is very popular in Hong Kong now and has received many endorsements, her career will take a sharp turn for the worse if the company hides her or lets her take a few bad movies. Once her reputation collapses, it will be difficult for anyone to invite her to make movies, and she will not even get serious advertising endorsements.
There are precedents like this in the circle.
She has sacrificed so much for her acting career, how can she give up halfway?
Zhao Yazhi quickly thought about the interests involved in his mind and said with a smile:
"It's really my pleasure."
Huang Xizhao kept staring at Zhao Yazhi, and saw that her expression did not seem fake, but these actors knew how to act, so it was fine as long as you couldn't tell. So he said:
"I know you have admired the big boss for a long time. If you were not married and had children, you would have pledged your love to him, right?"
Zhao Yazhi felt that if the general manager didn't know how to say it, then don't say it! But she had to smile politely and said awkwardly:
"Yeah, but the kids are already good at cooking!"
Huang Xizhao seemed not to have heard this and smiled:
"So I made an appointment for you to have dinner with the big boss tomorrow night.
I told the big boss that you have admired him for a long time, and now that you know he likes you very much, you must thank him and repay him.
The big boss gave me this opportunity!"
This is a confession to Zhao Yazhi. Don't let it get out of hand! And tell her how difficult it was to have dinner with the big boss!
Zhao Yazhi didn't dare to refuse at first, and after the general manager explained it more clearly, he was even more afraid to refuse.
Just think of it as feeding the tiger with your own body.
How could she not know what price women have to pay to survive in this circle?
