Since he couldn't hide it anymore, Hartnett took off his mask and waved with a smile. "Hello, everyone. I'm David Hartnett, a failed contestant from The Voice of America. "
"Woo …"
The audience cheered enthusiastically when they saw the Oscar winner appear on the stage.
"Hartnett, I love you."
"Hartnett, you're the best."
Ista smiled bitterly and said, "Hartnett, why are you here? Did the production team invite you? "
David Hartnett shook his head and said, "No, the production team didn't know about it. The production crew didn't know that I was coming either. It was all done by Mr. Xiao. Unfortunately, the four of you didn't turn around. You've made me lose face. "
Elliot smiled and said, "If we knew it was you, we would have turned around. No matter what, we would have let you off the stage with a lot of face. "
David Hartnett laughed and said, "I don't want this kind of success."
Elliot asked, "Hartnett, how do you feel about singing on this stage?"
Hartnett said, "Nervous, very nervous. My heart is about to jump out of my chest. It's my first time singing on stage. Seeing countless scrutinizing eyes on me, I felt a little scared. In fact, it was better before I came. But after seeing the performances of the contestants backstage, I wanted to leave immediately. They sang so well, but they didn't get your recognition. Then wouldn't I be done for? If it wasn't for Mr. Xiao holding me back, I wouldn't have dared to go on stage. "
After everyone joked around for a while, David Hartnett walked off the stage amidst everyone's cheers and applause.
Below the stage, Xiao Yunhai hugged him and said: "David, thank you for your help. I believe that with this segment, The Voice of America's viewership ratings will be very good. "
Hartnett smiled bitterly and said, "Forget it. This was a failure. Elliot and the others didn't turn around. It's too much of a blow."
Xiao Yunhai said, "Actually, your singing was already very good. It's just that they have to use the strictest criteria to select the contestants. If you were in other music programs, you would definitely have no problems. Forget it, let's not dwell on this matter. Even if you were chosen, you can't come and participate in the competition. David, are you free this evening? I'll treat you to a meal to show my gratitude. "
Hartnett said, "Next time. I need to leave for New Zealand tonight. "
Xiao Yunhai said, "That's too bad. Sure, when you come back from filming, I'll treat you to authentic Hua Xia cuisine. "
Hartnett smiled, "That's great. Xiao, I'll leave you to it. I'm going back. "
Xiao Yunhai thanked him again and then personally saw him out of the TV station.
Just like that, the recording of The Voice of America began in full swing. In order to rush for time, everyone had to record for 18 hours a day. Every day, there would be one or two celebrities who would come forward to perform with their faces covered. This made the atmosphere at the studio explode.
It only took four days for the four mentors to select their twelve students. Then, they divided them into groups to guide them. Everything was going according to plan.
Two days before Marvel TV began broadcasting in North America, Xiao Yunhai received a call from Annie Winslet.
"Xiao, you're really something. After so many days, he didn't even give me a call. Do you hate me that much? "
Hearing Winslet's slightly aggrieved words, Xiao Yunhai felt a headache coming on. He hurriedly said, "Annie, I'm sorry. I've been too busy these past two days. First, Marvel TV is about to start broadcasting. Secondly, our game company's Warcraft is about to be launched. I've also filmed an endorsement commercial for it. Plus, there are some TV programs being recorded. I'm so busy that I can't wait to spend one day as two. I'm really sorry. "
Winslet said bitterly, "Actually, I know that even if you had time, you wouldn't have called me. Xiao, are you free tomorrow night? My uncle came all the way from New York to Los Angeles. He wants to talk to you about Paramount Amusement Park. "
Xiao Yunhai said, "Mr. Bix, I'm honored to have you here. Even if I'm not free, I have to make time. How about this, I'll treat you and your uncle to a meal at an Italian restaurant not far from the Walk of Fame at six o 'clock tomorrow evening? "
Winslet said happily, "Okay, I'll go with my uncle tomorrow."
The next day, Xiao Yunhai brought Christy to the appointed Italian restaurant half an hour early.
As the host, Xiao Yunhai did not want to be late. That would be too rude.
The two found a seat near the window and sat down. Christy asked for a cup of coffee, while Xiao Yunhai asked for a glass of champagne.
Xiao Yunhai said, "Ms. Christy, are you familiar with Mr. Bix?"
Christy smiled and said, "I used to be his economic consultant. How could I not be familiar with him?"
Xiao Yunhai asked, "What kind of person is he?"
Christy thought for a moment and said, "Domineering, ten times more domineering than David Steer. David Steer has always been restricted by the board of directors, so it's difficult for him to do certain things. But Bix can. He and his family own 52% of the shares of Time Warner. He can do whatever he wants. That's why he's so headstrong and self-opinionated. When he does things, he's swift and decisive. Other people need ten days to discuss a business deal, but he only needs an hour at most. "
Xiao Yunhai smiled and said, "That's very similar to my personality."
Christy nodded and said, "That's right. But the biggest difference between you and him is that you're lazier than him. Bix is a typical workaholic. He works all year round and never takes a break. Also, he's very energetic. He only needs an average of four hours of sleep.
"However, his biggest problem is that he doesn't trust anyone. He has to take care of many small matters personally, not to mention major matters. That's why we had to leave after being his economic consultant for just half a year. "
Xiao Yunhai smiled and said, "It's the cruelest thing for every talented person to have no place to display their talents. This Mr. Bix's attitude towards work makes me blush with shame, but I don't appreciate it. If I'm like him and have to work my whole life, I might as well be killed. "
Christy said, "That's why we gathered around you. Because you gave us a huge space to display our talents. Beside Bix, we can't even display 30% of our talents. What he needs isn't talent, but robots that are absolutely obedient. "
Xiao Yunhai smiled and said, "There's a saying in Hua Xia that a hero has three helpers. Fighting alone isn't suitable in modern society. If Bix is always around, Time Warner will definitely have no problems. But once he's not around, the company will immediately be without a leader. What's waiting for it will probably be its demise. But I'm different. Even if I'm not around, as long as you guys are around, the company will still turn around. So it seems that my management philosophy is still good. "
Christy said angrily, "My dear boss, you call this management philosophy? Don't joke around. You're just slacking off. "
Xiao Yunhai shook his head and sighed. "I've always given my heart to the moon, but the moon shines on the ditch. It's really hard to live when no one understands you. "
"Who doesn't understand Mr. Xiao?" A vigorous voice came from behind.
Xiao Yunhai turned around and saw an old man in his fifties with gray hair, but his eyes were bright and full of vigor. He didn't look old at all and was looking at him with a smile. His aura was as strong as a mountain.
Beside him, Winslet was wearing a business suit. She held the old man's arm and smiled sweetly.
Xiao Yunhai hurriedly stood up and shook hands with him. "Mr. Bix, it's a pleasure to meet you."
Bix said, "Mr. Xiao, you're welcome. I have a favor to ask of you this time, and I hope you can give it to me."
What Christie said was right. Bix's first sentence pointed to the core topic of today's discussion. He was indeed swift and decisive, to the point without the slightest bit of sloppiness.
Xiao Yunhai smiled. "No one is asking for anything. We're just taking what we need. It's best for both companies to work together and win. "
Bix laughed and said, "Mr. Xiao is right. Madam Christy, we haven't seen each other for more than ten years. When you left me, I really couldn't bear to see you leave. "
Christy said, "Mr. Bix, Time Warner is full of talents. I can't help at all. I'm getting such a high salary, but I can't do anything. How can I not leave? "
Bix smiled. "I can tell that you're blaming me. Actually, it's not bad to leave Time Warner. You met Mr. Xiao, the richest man in the world. He's much better than Time Warner. "
Xiao Yunhai hurriedly said, "Oh, Mr. Bix, please don't spread this outside. Otherwise, I'll be embarrassed. Gentlemen, let's not stand. Please take a seat. "
