The fact that Wang Shiyu could not be removed for a while made Xia Tian very depressed, but he did not make Wang Shiyu feel better either.

After Jin Yong resigned as president of Ming Pao, it was logical that editor-in-chief Wang Shiyu should have taken over. But of course Xia Tiantian Daily won’t be cheap. He selected Lu Shi, the president of Tiantian Daily, to take over Ming Pao’s president.

"Do you know why I asked you to take over Ming Pao?" Xia Tian asked Lu Shixuan.

"I don't know." Lu Shixuan hesitated for a moment, shook his head and said.

He guessed that it might be because he managed Tiantian Daily well, so he was transferred to take care of Mingbao. However, he couldn't say this, as if he had said it, it would be like Wang Po selling melons.

"I asked you to take over Ming Pao because I trust you." Xia Tian smiled slightly, "Old Lu, you are the one I promoted. You have been working in Tiantian Daily for a year and have performed very well, so I am very satisfied with you."

Before Lu Shixuan, he was the editor-in-chief of Hong Kong's "Shengbao". After Xia Tiantian acquired Tiantian Daily, he poached him as the president of Tiantian Daily.

"Thank you for your praise, boss." Lu Shixuan was very happy to hear Xia Tian say this. He didn't expect that he had such a high status in the boss's heart. Isn't this just a promotion and salary increase, and a career peak?

"Well, after you take over Ming Pao this time, you must also play a leading role in the leadership and make Ming Pao my people." Xia Tian said again, "And you must eliminate those thorns who do not obey management and do not obey orders one by one. But be sure to remember that you must also be skilled in scheming people, be reasonable and well-founded, and make others have nothing to say. Otherwise, if the public is resentful and the discussion is booming, I will push you to sacrifice the flag at that time."

Lu Shixuan was stunned, then nodded with a pale face, "I understand, boss."

"Well, then go." Xia Tian nodded.

Lu Shixuan stood up and left Xia Tian’s office. After leaving the door, his face darkened.

Originally, he thought it was a good thing to take over the president of Ming Pao. Because Tiantian Daily was not as high as Ming Pao’s sales and good reputation, he changed from Tiantian Daily to Ming Pao’s president. Although it was a "just-level transfer", he was actually promoted.

But I didn't expect that I would take on a hot potato. It was not an easy thing to ask him to turn Ming Pao into his people in summer.

Because Ming Pao was founded by Mr. Cha, and he has been the president for 30 years, his influence has long been spreading to every corner of the newspaper, which has also led to his people all over the newspaper.

Nowadays, it is really difficult to turn them all into summer people. Moreover, it is even more troublesome to be slandered and well-founded.

"Oh, why did you take on such a broken errand? It's really a failure!" Lu Shixuan said with a headache.

...

After mixing Wang Shiyu with a handful of sand, Xia Tian no longer focused on Ming Pao.

Ming Pao is just a trivial part of his business territory. Even in Hong Kong, there is Tiantian Daily that can replace it, so it is not worth his attention.

Xia Tian’s energy was mainly focused on the movies. After obtaining the right to adapt the film and television of Kim Yong’s martial arts, the first thing he wanted to do was to seize the time to adapt.

The trend of Hong Kong movies is coming one after another. Before, zombie movies are being promoted, now martial arts movies are being promoted, and gambling movies may be promoted in the future, nonsensical comedy movies.

If this wave of martial arts film craze cannot be caught, it will be difficult to achieve high box office after it has passed.

For example, "The Legend of the Condor Heroes: The Demon Sect Leader" directed by Wang Jing and starring Li Lianjie, Zhang Min and Qiu Shuzhen is of good quality, but because he missed the martial arts craze, he failed the box office badly. The sequel was still alive and has never been filmed again for so many years.

"First film "The Smiling, Proud Wanderer", then film "The East is Unbeaten", then film "The East is Becoming the West", "The East is Evil and the West is Poisoned"..." Xia Tian calculated.

In his previous life, Kim Yong's martial arts adaptation craze was driven by Xu Ke's adaptation of "The Smiling, Proud Wanderer". Especially the second part "The Smiling, Proud Wanderer: The Oriental Invincible", which made Lin Qingxia rejuvenate her second spring in her career, and also made her image of dressing as a man a new look into another classic.

"The Smiling, Proud Wanderer" was filmed in previous life, and there were many twists and turns. Originally, Xu Ke invited his idol, director Hu Jinquan, to direct the film, but during the director Hu, Xu Ke had another problem with the boss, and had to take care of everything and fight for everything, which made Hu Jinquan lose all the money.

As a great director, Hu Jinquan was very angry when he was so snatched by his juniors, so he simply resigned from his position as director. Yue Hua, who plays Yue Buqun, is a favorite of director Hu Jinquan. He also quit when he saw him withdraw.

Xu Ke was forced to replace Liu Zhaoming with the scene and remake a large number of scenes, which caused the drama to be seriously overspent. Although the box office was pretty good, it actually didn't make much money.

At the same time, because the director was changed in the middle, the style of the whole movie could not be unified. The Ming Dynasty Dongchang started with murderous aura and internal struggles, which was obviously Hu Jinquan's style. Linghu Chong laughed and scolded, Zhang Min kissed and fed medicine, and even Lan Fenghuang, the junior sister played with lily love, etc., which were obviously Xu Ke's style.

Moreover, when filming this movie "The Swordsman", they did not consider the sequel, so there was a lot of deviation from the first one.

For example, in "The Smiling, Proud Wanderer", Ouyang Quan, a thousand households, took away the "Sunflower Book", but the book in the second part was in the hands of Dongfang Bubai; the first part of the Sino-Sun Moon God Sect was just a Miao organization that sells private salt, and the sequel became a major force with the strength to dominate the world...

The reason why these problems arise is mainly because both directors intervene in the creation.

Hu Jinquan is good at filming intrigue scenes. Although his films such as "Longmen Inn", "The Storm of the Spring Pavilion", "Loyalty and Martyrdom", "The Drunken Heroes", etc., are just fights between the heroes of the world, but behind them are inseparable from the court and politics. This is to see the big ones from the small, and to the far-reaching world of the world, alluding to the temple.

For example, "Longmen Inn" is a story about a group of chivalrous and righteous men who rescued the sons of loyal ministers and fought wits and courage with treacherous ministers; "The Storm of Yingchun Pavilion" is a story about a chivalrous and righteous men who sacrificed their lives to protect their soldiers in order to protect the plan of the Tartars.

Xu Ke is good at visual effects, laughing, scolding, and affection for his children, and using the past to satirize the present. For example, his "A Chinese Ghost Story: The Way of the Human World", in which Zhuge Wolong's line is quite ironic.
