Chapter 201: A Chic Banquet
The scandal between Xu Ziming and many beauties has not stopped, and a few days later, the "Business Daily" reported that Xu Ziming officially took over the shipping business of the Xu family.
At this time, after officially taking over the shipping business, Xu Ziming, in terms of his assets in Hong Kong, made him really a rich man.
Under the intertwining of the previous scandal and this acceptance of the shipping industry, Xu Ziming was inadvertently put on the top of a news peak in the entertainment industry.
So under such a peak, Xu Ziming, together with Wang Jin, Huang Zhan, and Ma Chengkun, carefully arranged a chic finale banquet, which was directly held in front of major media without any scruples.
It's just that although Xu Ziming agreed that the major media in Hong Kong would participate in the finale banquet, only Oriental News could bring camera equipment into the hotel.
As a result, reporters from other newspapers and periodicals could only make cheat sheets at the banquet to see what was going on, and if they wanted to take pictures, there was no door.
"Mr. Xu, your big formation this time and the rules that do not conform to ordinary people's thinking have benefited a newspaper under my "Oriental Daily". I'm thinking, the media in Hong Kong don't know what to think of me, you really give me enough face. ”
Ma Chengkun came in with the staff of "Oriental News", saw Xu Ziming himself, and boasted in person.
The rules can be set like this, and it is naturally inseparable from Xu Ziming's Furama Hotel under the family business, which held a finale banquet.
Naturally, he himself has the final say on his turf. That's why don't you choose the most famous hotels in Hong Kong, such as The Peninsula Hotel and Hilton Hotel.
Today's media Ma Chengkun is in full control, in a word, he and Xu Ziming have the final say, and this pride can hardly hide his smile.
Xu Ziming asked thoughtfully: "Mr. Ma's "Oriental News" is responsible for today's news report, combining the completion of "Prison Storm" with my fundamental purpose this time. Again, be quick when you get it published. Don't let other newspapers get ahead of the curve. ”
Ma Chengkun believed that he had the advantage in tonight's reporting media, and responded: "No problem." ”
Xu Ziming saw that Ma Chengkun agreed so happily, so he was even more uneasy, afraid that Ma Chengkun would not understand clearly, but he still felt that it was necessary to explain the specific arrangements clearly.
At the moment, in front of the staff, after explaining the general details and the specific direction of the report to the other party, the core of the media's main control.
After dealing with these, Xu Ziming was playfully at the door of the hotel, waiting for the arrival of a few beauties. Xu Ziming is not the only one who is more anxious than Xu Ziming waiting, but also a media reporter who is ready to record the news with a notebook.
The finale banquet of "Prison Storm" is the home of Liang Jiahui and Zhou Yunfa and others on the surface, and Rao is Zhou Xingchi and Wu Mengda also entered in a handsome suit, in fact, Xu Ziming just wanted to use this finale banquet to clarify a fact to the media.
This kind of clarification is more convincing than a person who talks endlessly in front of the media, because the heroine of the story is on the scene.
However, after waiting for a while, the heroine of the whole banquet had not yet arrived, but Xu Ziming was surprised to find that a person arrived, a person said something wrong, and there was a female companion on the side.
Xu Ziming hurriedly turned to Huang Zhan who was not far away and beckoned, and when Huang Zhan came over, he asked with a confused face: "Uncle Zhan, did you invite Pan Disheng?"
In addition to the crew, most of the characters of this banquet were arranged by Huang Zhan.
Huang Zhan looked confused, he and Pan Disheng didn't have a deep relationship, how could he invite each other for no reason.
Pan Disheng took the female companion on the side, and his acquaintance Hong Jinbao was also particularly eye-catching, and the group looked around roughly, and soon saw where Xu Ziming was.
Pan Disheng took his girlfriend and Hong Jinbao to Xu Ziming's side.
Xu Ziming also saw the other party, he and Pan Disheng have had many business cooperation before, although he doesn't know the purpose of the other party's coming here at the moment, but he has to do a little bit of the friendship of the landlord.
Xu Ziming looked at the beautiful woman sitting next to Pan Disheng, and he recognized at a glance that this was the champion of Miss Malaysia last year, and Yang Ziqiong, who was also active in the Hong Kong entertainment industry and was listed as one of the three people on the black list by all insurance companies in Hong Kong.
Seeing Xu Ziming's gaze on the female companion he brought, Pan Dey laughed and said: "I forgot to introduce to you, this young lady's name is Yang Ziqiong, she was the champion of Miss Malaysia last year, and she and Sanmao are currently filming a drama called "The Owl and Dumbo". Ms. Yang is very fond of the film industry, and I also have the heart to develop in the film industry. ”
Pan Disheng saw that Bian Yang Ziqiong looked like she was leaping to try, and immediately added to Xu Ziming: "Miss Yang has just come to Hong Kong, and she doesn't know Cantonese and Chinese, but she speaks English very well. ”
Xu Ziming had expected it early on, and took the initiative to greet Yang Ziqiong in English: "Hello, Miss Yang." ”
"Hello, Mr. Xu. Yang Ziqiong laughed, unexpectedly that the handsome young man in front of her was Xu Ziming.
Xu Ziming's reputation, she has heard Pan Disheng, Hong Jinbao and others mention it many times, and she wanted to meet this person in his twenties years ago, but he left a strong mark in the Hong Kong entertainment industry, but Xu Ziming was still in the United States a few years ago and came back recently.
Xu Ziming has already regarded Yang Ziqiong as Pan Disheng's newly soaked horse, and it is common for wealthy businessmen to pursue beauty pageants in Hong Kong, but they used to call Yang Min Mrs. Pan before, Xu Ziming is afraid that when he deals with him in the workplace in the future, he will be used to calling the other party, but fortunately, Yang Minxuan has not divorced Pan Disheng yet.
So there is no need to worry too much about the name now.
The three men chatted together, Pan Desheng comforted Michelle Yang from time to time, and his tone towards Michelle Yang has always been flattering, and Xu Ziming felt more that he and Hong Jinbao were making light bulbs.
Because Michelle Yang is not an ordinary beauty pageant, she is from a famous family in Malaysia, her grandfather has a bus company, and her father is also a successful person in Malaysia, and she will even be canonized as Dato' in a few years.
With such a family background, Pan Disheng can't be soaked in with some money, he has to show some sincerity.
At the age of four, Michelle Yang began to learn painting, ballet and piano, and practiced swimming, badminton, skiing and horseback riding, as well as participating in diving competitions. She used to study dance, but a few years ago she was seriously injured due to overtraining, and since then she can no longer dance ballet, so she went to change to drama.
Last year, Michelle Yang returned to Malaysia after graduating from the United Kingdom, and she was bored to participate in a beauty pageant, and she won the championship inexplicably. After becoming a beauty pageant champion, all kinds of Malaysian advertising appointments and film appointments flew in, which made Michelle Yang very annoying.
After receiving Pan Disheng's invitation, Michelle Yeoh purely came to Hong Kong for tourism and relaxation, but once the advertisement co-produced with Cheng Long was broadcast, it immediately attracted attention in Hong Kong.
There's no way, Michelle Yang when she was young was so beautiful, she was really the kind of beauty who would be the focus of attention wherever she went.
When Pan Disheng saw Michelle Yang for the first time, he was moved and decided to pursue it, so he wanted to ask Michelle Yang to film on the pretext
, leave your favorite beauty in Hong Kong.
However, Xu Ziming only guessed half right, Pan Disheng really likes Yang Ziqiong, but now he doesn't dare to pursue it rashly, Yang Minyu is not a vegetarian after all.
After several people interacted with each other for a while, Pan Disheng began to shift the topic to today's purpose one by one, "Prison Storm" was completed, and he chatted about whether it was fake to congratulate him, in fact, Xu Ziming studied in the United States and recently came back, he hadn't seen each other for two years.
Now he Pan Disheng is ready to show his skills in the film industry, this time it is mostly to probe Xu Ziming's tone and find out whether the other party's purpose for the film industry is still clear as before.
Hui Ziming has always been more concerned about current affairs, and has an understanding of Pan Disheng's actions in the film industry, praising him: "Last year, Shaw Brothers reduced the number of films, and Hong Kong's economy was a little sluggish, but Mr. Poon established Debao Film Company last year and was interested in investing in films. Mr. Pan is not on a whim, but has the intention to become bigger and stronger in the film industry. ”
Xu Ziming studied in the United States for two years, and even the Shaw Brothers Company, known as the "Kingdom of Movies", reduced its filming and even rented out theaters. He really missed many opportunities to make the film company bigger and stronger in Hong Kong.
Obviously, Xu Ziming has insight into these situations, but studying in the United States has invisibly lost these good opportunities.
In his absence, Pan Disheng established Debao Film Company.
Pan Disheng's investment in movies is by no means a whim, this is not his Xu Ziming's opinion alone, but the judgment of the entire industry.
Pan Disheng was a little proud, and he didn't deny it at all, and said directly: "Mr. Xu and I have both worked in the watch industry, and both have invested in a Kowloon Bus Company, and we have also tossed together during the stock market. ”
He added: "Movies are a kind of mass entertainment, even when the economy is in recession and consumption power is declining, it will not be affected. In addition, through the dressing of the famous movie stars in the film, the world-famous brands represented by my Dickson company can be strongly promoted, which plays an indirect role in advertising and promotion. Why not. ”
This kind of business that kills two birds with one stone is naturally a good investment for him Pan Disheng.
Xu Ziming nodded sullenly, Pan Disheng founded Debao Film Company, not to surprise him, what he was afraid of was that in the film industry, the two of them were strong opponents of both sides.
In terms of resources and connections, the two have their own strengths, and they are also two young people compared by the media, and there are too many similarities between the two.
They all started with part of their parents' foundations, and there have been many collaborations between them.
Pan Disheng suddenly smiled and asked: "Mr. Xu has recently accepted the shipping business, will the focus of development change in the future?" And whether the play "Prison Storm" is your masterpiece. ”
Xu Ziming shook his head and said, "No, but it's barely half." ”
Seeing that the other party only answered the second question, Pan Desheng didn't care, and still said: "This box office starts at least 20 million." ”
Xu Ziming shook his head and smiled bitterly: "Don't dare to be, Hong Kong's film era has changed, how different it is from two years ago, if Mr. Pan entered the film industry two years ago." Ask me this, I still know a little bit in my heart, but not now. ”
"Hmm... Hmm", Pan Desheng swallowed the phlegm in his throat, and said in his heart If he stepped into the film and television industry two years ago, it would be difficult for him to have the ability to confront Xu Ziming.
Xu Ziming and Pan Disheng chatted inseparably, and Yang Ziqiong on the side could only stare speechlessly.
Suddenly, there were bursts of exclamations from reporters outside the gate, not only others, but even Xu Ziming had to follow the voice from the chat with Pan Disheng, and looked at the beautiful woman who entered the venue in surprise.
