Xia Tian knew that Dongfang Bubai was played by a woman and had a big talk with Linghu Chong. Such a change would definitely make Jin Yong unhappy. In his previous life, when Xu Ke was filming this movie, he made Lin Qingxia play Dongfang Bubai, which also made Jin Yong lose his temper.

However, such adaptation increases the viewability, fun, and storyline of the movie, and increases the dramatic tension of the movie. Otherwise, Dongfang Bubai would just be a boss with weird behavior, with no outstanding points.

However, Xia Tian also knew that no matter how sufficient his reasons were, it would be difficult to change the fact that he changed other people's works, so Jin Yong had enough reason to be angry. After all, it was a work of someone else, and it was now beyond recognition by him. It was also necessary for him to seek punishment.

"Mr. Cha, I'm sorry, the scale of this adaptation is indeed a bit large, and I understand your dissatisfaction." Xia Tian apologized sincerely, "but I hope you believe me. Making such an adaptation is definitely not to blaspheme your masterpiece, but to consider artistic creation."

After hearing what he said, Jin Yong was silent for a while, then sighed, "You can't do anything nonsense in artistic creation." His tone was obviously much gentler than before.

In fact, he knew that Xia Tian was not a random person, and he would not deliberately adapt his works. After all, a movie invested tens of millions of Hong Kong dollars. If he was filmed randomly, he would lose his own money in the end. So he must have some considerations in adapting it like that.

But even though he knew, Jin Yong was still angry. After all, he had written "The Smiling, Proud Wanderer" for three years and put in a lot of hard work and sweat. To be honest, this novel is one of his most satisfactory works, especially the male protagonist Linghu Chong is the most lovely person in his writing. Free and open-minded, unrestrained, free and easy, and is also the realm of life he most longs for.

But now, Linghu Chong has started dating with Dongfang Bubai, who is neither a man nor a woman, and it is a polyamorous love story with more than a woman. He suddenly changed from a noble-minded hermit to Wei Xiaobao, who is so beautiful that Jin Yong can accept it.

"Yes, Mr. Xia, I'll pay more attention in the future." Xia Tian nodded quickly and lowered his posture.

In fact, the film and television adaptation rights are already in his hands. He can change it anyway. Anyway, he has paid the money, and even if Jin Yong opposes it, he can't help it. Just like Tianxia Bachang hates "Ghost Blows Out the Light: Nine-Level Demon Tower" adapted by Lu Yan, but the copyright has been sold, so it's useless to dislike him no matter how disgusted it.

But Jin Yong was the one who had helped him and had provided him with a lot of help. This alone was enough to make Xia Tianming feel nostalgic. So when facing Jin Yong in anger, he was always very respectful and did not confront him head-on.

"This time I've really adapted it like this. Can't I modify it again?" Jin Yong asked tentatively.

"Mr. Cha, the script has been decided and the actors have been arranged. It is indeed impossible to modify it." Xia Tian explained, and then added, "In this way, I will definitely obtain your consent when adapting it next time. If you don't nod, then I won't adapt it. Do you think this is OK?"

"Oh, okay." Seeing that he had said that, Jin Yong had no choice but to nod.

In fact, he also knew that his film and television adaptation rights had been sold, and he couldn't even control how Xia Tian adapted it. To be honest, Xia Tian was quite respectful to him and was willing to apologize to him. If he changed to the boss of another film company, he might have just retorted him.

"Well, thank you Mr. Cha for your understanding." Xia Tian couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief when he saw Jin Yong relieved. If he refused to forgive, the matter would be really troublesome.

"By the way, Mr. Cha, how are you traveling in Europe? Are you having fun?" He then greeted with a smile.

Jin Yong sold all Mingpao Group to Xia Tian and stepped down as Mingpao president. After he was fine, he took his wife to travel to Europe.

"I was having a lot of fun, but until Ale called me and told me about this, I was in no mood." Jin Yong was still angry and said.

"Mad, it turns out it was him!" Xia Tian suddenly realized when he heard this.

No wonder Jin Yong is far away in Europe and is well-informed. It turns out that someone is informing him. And that damn Erwuzi is actually Wang Shiyu. This turtle-bastard really thinks that with Jin Yong's support, he really has no way to deal with him? Bastard!

Xia Tian had already murderous intent on Wang Shiyu.

"Mr. Cha, I'm so sorry for disturbing your Youxing. In this way, when you come back, I will definitely apologize to you and set up a big apology banquet to welcome you." Xia Tian said sincerely again.

"Okay, there is no need for apologizing. You should be careful when you adapt it next time." Jin Yong saw that he had apologized repeatedly and was not angry anymore, so he said with a smile.

...

After hanging up the phone, Xia Tian thought about it, and then called Ming Pao President Lu Shixuan and asked him to come over to see him immediately.

"Boss, are you looking for me?" After receiving Xia Tian's call, Lu Shixuan rushed over quickly.

"Old Lu, it has been almost half a month since you took over as president of Ming Pao. How about it? How did I explain to you? " Xia Tian raised his head and looked at him faintly and asked.

When Lu Shixuan was seen by Xia Tian, ​​his heart was so scared that he almost jumped out. Because Xia Tian's eyes were so cold, he froze him at first glance.

"Boss, I'm doing it, I'm doing it." He said quickly.

"I have so much high hopes for you, so you give me such a perfunctory answer? I am doing it, where have you done it?" Xia Tian asked coldly when he saw that he was not clear about his answer.

"I am currently conducting performance appraisal in the newspaper office, and stipulate how many articles I have to write and how much advertising sponsorship I have to be brought. Rewards that do well, those who do poorly deduct money, and those who are serious are fired directly. Now they are all busy, and I think they will not have the energy to rebel." Lu Shixuan quickly explained when he saw Xia Tian get angry.

After hearing this, Xia Tian nodded.

Using performance assessment methods to punish people is a common method used in the company's internal strife. Not only is it famous for its masters, but it also kills people without blood.

"But you should also pay attention to the standards, don't set standards too strictly, and don't smash Ming Pao's golden signboard for decades for temporary performance." Xia Tian reminded.

Performance appraisals were popular in many companies in their previous lives, so many employees did everything to meet the standards, and ended up creating one mess after another.

For example, a well-known search website is too concerned about performance appraisal, so employees have no bottom line in doing things. They cooperate with unscrupulous hospitals, fraudulent websites, and even gambling companies to add false advertisements to the search results, which has caused many users to be deceived and even died.

This search website has become notorious because of this, and its market value has even evaporated by tens of billions of dollars in one day, which can be regarded as retribution.

Ming Pao has been founded for 30 years and has always enjoyed a high reputation in Hong Kong. It also has great requirements for articles and advertisements. For example, Oriental Daily, Tiantian Daily, Sing Tao Daily, etc., they will publish some ads for love, such as Shiatsui shops, massage shops, Finnish baths, etc. However, Ming Pao has always been ethical and never publishes those small advertisements for love.
