Chapter 272 Someone in the Mainland wants to win Ming Pao
"Uncle Six, I'm so poor."
Hearing Qiao Beiyan's teaching, Zhang Qing was deeply moved, but still kept calm.
Let's put it this way, the five-year rent for Qiao's four leading theaters was HK$70 million. This was a contract signed in 1990. Today, it is at least double.
Excluding the loan and not counting the premium, Zhang Qing's total assets now cannot be rented for just a few years at Qiao's four leading theaters...
Qiao Beiyan smiled and said: "You can't hide it from me. Not to mention your layout in Nanyang, you must have back-up skills in other places. Qingzi, you have to do charity, but you have to make more money first. If necessary, I can give
You provide a low-interest loan."
Zhang Qing smiled and said: "Thank you Uncle Six, you don't need it for the time being. If it is urgent, I will definitely not be polite."
Li Fangjie saw Qiao Beiyan's mood improved and became happy. She advised Zhang Qing, "Qingzi, don't study in the mainland. Come to Hong Kong and study the same way. Uncle Liu is the trustee of the University of Hong Kong and has arranged for you to enroll."
, so convenient.”
Zhang Qing smiled and said: "Sixth Aunt, although Hong Kong Island is rich, the market is too small. The hope for the future must be in the mainland. Just look at Yu Shixun and you will know that a smart person like him will not invest tens of billions casually.
A place with no future. Aunt Six, I suggest TVB establish a good relationship with the Mainland. Once the Mainland's economy picks up, the opportunities for supermarkets with a population of more than one billion are unlimited. Look at Mengyao in Wanwan, there is so much tension between the two sides of the Taiwan Strait.
At that time, I was reluctant to give up on the mainland market, and kept selling romantic dramas to the mainland. Even if I can't make money at the moment, I have been cultivating the market and waiting for the big trend."
Li Fangjie said distressedly: "Young boy, do you think I don't want to enter the mainland? There is no way. Uncle Liu donates 100 million to the mainland a year, but he can't pass the censorship at all. TVB can even open a sub-station in Wanwan, but it can't enter the mainland.
ah."
Zhang Qing chuckled and said: "Then we won't enter. We can cooperate with mainland TV stations first. Of course, I am an outsider. The only thing I can be sure of is that the mainland economy will definitely take off and become a supermarket. The specific operation will not be
The class is busy. Uncle Six, Aunt Six, it's getting late. You two should have a rest early. I'll go back first."
Li Fangjie said hurriedly: "What are you talking about? I will stay at home tonight. The servants have prepared the guest room."
Zhang Qing was startled when he heard this and said hesitantly: "Isn't that convenient?"
Here on Hong Kong Island, especially the rich, are very particular about these things.
Even close friends usually don't let guests stay at home overnight because it's inconvenient for both parties.
Li Fangjie smiled and said, "What's the inconvenience? Look at your Uncle Six, he doesn't want to sleep right now. Let's talk for a while. Qingzi, Uncle Six wouldn't usually say this to others. He has so many valuable experiences that he has passed on to others."
If I give it to you, you will be a tycoon."
Qiao Beiyan smiled and nodded, and Zhang Qing smiled and said: "Okay, I'll listen more and try to become a tycoon as soon as possible!"
…
The next morning.
Early in the morning, the Qiao family's motorcade drove out of the Qiao family's mansion and headed to the Qiao family's studio.
Qiao's Studio, which has a history of 40 years as of this year, has recorded the glorious period of the entire Hong Kong film industry.
Even now, many film crews rent land here to film.
Seeing Zhang Qing, Li Fangjie helped Qiao Beiyan arrive, and many people with cards came to greet him.
Qiao Beiyanduo just nodded slightly and smiled lightly, without even introducing him to Zhang Qing.
The high posture is evident.
But no one felt anything was wrong...
Zhang Qing, on the other hand, really attracted the attention of celebrities and celebrities.
Some people may complain that what is written in the newspapers may not be groundless.
Although this young man from the mainland is born with mud-legged background, he is naturally good at climbing. He has climbed one high branch after another all the way from the frontier of Western Xinjiang, and now he has climbed to Hong Kong Island...
Unfortunately, what they didn't know was that Zhang Qing didn't even take a look at these newspapers.
Bai Kezhi, Zhao Lin, and Wang Zitong came out after hearing the news. After saying hello, Zhang Qing smiled and said: "Director Bai, sister, and uncle Liu heard that the first part of "Once Upon a Time" was almost finished editing, so they came over to watch the film.
"
Bai Kezhi said: "I just finished rough editing. I have to shoot "Once Upon a Time 2" during the day, so I only have time to edit the scenes at night. If I watch it now..."
Zhao Lin hurriedly smiled and added: "It's okay. It just so happened that Uncle Six came to give me more advice. I think there will be more direction for the subsequent cuts."
Zhang Qing smiled and said: "Director Bai, it's no problem. Uncle Six values your talent very much, and he also admires Sister's production ability. Just take a look at the rough cut. After reading it, it's time to get busy with the distribution.
.”
The group then headed to the movie theater.
Halfway through, Wang Ruolin got the news and came with Zhou Yanyan.
After Zhou Yanyan arrived, she first greeted Qiao Beiyan and Li Fangjie, then stood up half a step behind Zhang Qing.
This action made Wang Zitong twitch his lips, let alone others.
Even though Li Fangjie is now on an equal footing with Qiao Beiyan, when Qiao Beiyan's original wife was alive, she was like Zhou Yanyan now, always half a step behind when she and Qiao Beiyan appeared together.
Zhang Qing glared at her with a black line on his forehead, but didn't feel like saying anything at the moment.
Qiao Beiyan chuckled, and the group headed to the movie room.
…
Ming Pao Headquarters.
In the chairman's office.
Editor-in-chief Shen Bin looked at Zhong Qu and sighed: "The Yu family took action and actually helped Qingzi suppress so many bad rumors."
Zhong Qu shook his head and said: "Oriental Daily, Next Weekly and others have not changed. They are really poisonous media. The dirty water they poured on Qingzi and Miss Yanyan is extremely stinky. Although the media's press freedom is
It is sacred and inviolable, but if it loses the foundation of justice, it becomes the source of disaster."
Shen Bin was more conservative: "In order for the public's mouthpiece not to be suppressed, it is inevitable to pay some price. "Next Weekly" and others rely on selling shocking and insidious news to win the public's attention. It is not on the stage and does not need to be ignored. Zhong Sheng, Qing
Are you feeling sad?"
Zhong Qu smiled and said, "Why is he sad? I called him to comfort him, but he said that he never reads those rubbish newspapers, and prohibits people around him from buying them, and does not contribute Hong Kong dollars to them."
Shen Bin laughed and said: "Is this deception? It doesn't count. It should be a strong mind. They say that those who are clear will be clean and don't be afraid of rumors. But how many people can really do it? At least, if it were me, I would
It can’t be done.”
Zhongqu shook his head and said: "Qingzi is actually okay. He doesn't often come to Hong Kong Island. He just patted his ass and went back to the mainland. Yanyan girls are really powerful. I heard people say that the drug-producing paparazzi asked her loudly if she was being infiltrated.
It’s a rule... Of course, the original words were very obscene. Do you know about this?"
Shen Bin shook his head and said, "I haven't heard about this yet."
Zhongqu said: "She stopped the bodyguard beside her, took a twenty-yuan Hong Kong dollar from her bag, and asked someone to hand it to the paparazzi. The paparazzi was curious and asked her what she meant? Guess what happened to Miss Yanyan?
explain?"
Shen Bin still shook his head and Zhongqu said: "Yanyan said: Go buy a bowl of pig blood soup for your mother to replenish her heart. It takes a lot of trouble to give birth to a baby like you. She said it with a smile. Very sincere.”
When Shen Bin heard this, he was stunned at first, then laughed and said: "It's a strange person and a strange thing. I thought she was just a vase, but I didn't expect she had such a mind. I believe she can go a long way in this circle."
Zhong Qu said: "Qing Zai put a lot of thought into her. Her MV debuted, and her cold-eyed image has been deeply rooted in people's hearts. At the New Year's Day concert, she shined with the Western Xinjiang dance. I thought "The Legend of the Condor Heroes" would be next. The little dragon girl in the film has completely established her status as the number one cool beauty. Unexpectedly, she released an album with cute and lively music style, which was very popular. Her image suddenly became playful and vivid, and she became a fairy who never eats the fireworks of the world. This has its advantages and disadvantages. It is a bit of a headache for the crew. After all, it is so popular now. When "The Condor" is released and Xiao Longnu appears, people will always think of her singing "I am a girl"...
But for Miss Yanyan, the advantages far outweigh the disadvantages. It’s good that Hong Kong movies have one more good actor and one less vase.”
Shen Bin sighed: "In the newspapers, many actors said a lot of bad things about the Yanyan girl and Qingzi, openly and secretly, with very contemptuous tone. Of course, most of them were from ATV, or those who didn't point to TVB for dinner. Yes, but there are a lot of them. Hong Kong people, generally speaking, still despise the other side."
Zhong Qu smiled faintly and said: "It is human nature. Ordinary people will look down on poor relatives who live far away. Hong Kong people are like this, and the mainland is actually similar."
Shen Bin laughed and said, "Are you from Modu?"
Zhong Qu nodded and smiled and said: "The Yanyan girl came out of nowhere and took up a lot of resources. It is inevitable to be jealous. She doesn't care about herself, so we don't have to worry. Moreover, this is also worth learning. Don't be jealous. The noise outside is disturbing.”
Shen Bin was silent for a moment after hearing this. He heard the advice in Zhong Qu's words and sighed: "Of course I won't be swayed. Zhong Sheng, you have already transferred part of your shares. It's just that many people are worried about Zhong Sheng, you reselling "Ming Pao" This was unacceptable to a mainlander. A large number of influential people, including Hu Mu and his son, as well as Congressman Martin Lee, frequently wrote critical articles in newspapers such as Oriental Daily. Many citizens were affected and said they were disgusted in interviews. After this incident, he even threatened to never buy Ming Pao again in the future.
Forget it, I didn’t expect that someone from the mainland would come forward and want to seize Ming Pao. The price they offered was astonishing, much higher than the market price. Some directors on the board of directors had quite objections."
Zhong Qu shook his head and said: "I transferred "Ming Pao" to Qing Zai because he is talented. His "The Condor" trilogy alone can sustain "Ming Pao" for a long time. If there is such a person among Hong Kong people I can choose people all the same, but I don’t have one. As for the one from Mainland China...although he is a son of an official and has a great background, he has no reporting career and no talent, so he is of no use to "Ming Pao", so naturally it is impossible to give it to him."
Shen Bin smiled and said: "Zhong Sheng, you are coming back soon. Aren't you afraid of revenge?"
Zhong Qu shrugged and said with a smile: "What am I afraid of? I am going to retire soon. If there is any problem, Qingzi can deal with it by himself."
Shen Bin laughed and said: "That person is also bullying the weak and afraid of the strong. He is brave enough to go directly to Qingzi to buy it."
Zhong Qu chuckled: "Qingzi is going back to the mainland soon. I'll treat him to a casual dinner tonight. A Bin, if you have time, come with us."
Shen Bin was self-righteous, but he complained: "Qiao Laoliu is too domineering and won't let go of Qingzi. The newspaper said that Qingzi was very scheming. He knew that Qiao Bei was lonely and cold and had no children, so he played tricks and got close to him. As a grandson, Uncle Qiao Liu is really treacherous and evil. Maybe even TVB will change his surname to a mainland one in the future... They don't even think about what kind of person Qiao Laoliu is. Li Fangjie has followed him for decades, taking care of TVB. For more than ten years, I have not received any benefits."
Zhong Qu thought for a while and said: "Forget it, I'll go to Qiao's, otherwise I'm afraid Qiao Sheng won't let anyone go at night. Three blockbusters were filmed in succession, and Qiao's made up his mind to make a comeback. Qingzi has a co-production in his hands. Qiao Sheng will never allow any loss of qualifications. In addition, if someone from the Mainland has an idea for Ming Pao, he must inform Qingzi as soon as possible so that he can be prepared. After the old man passes away, things there will become more complicated. Already."
