Ming Pao.

Kim Yong's office.

After Huo Yaowen and Jin Yong exchanged a few words, he took out the manuscript of "The Devil's Chronicles of the Tang Dynasty" written some time ago from his briefcase.

But Huo Yaowen has seriously delayed the manuscript, and Ming Pao has already stopped updating "Heavenly Demon Chronicles" half a month ago.

This time, Huo Yaowen happened to have something to say to Jin Yong, so he brought tens of thousands of words of manuscripts over, so that Jin Yong or Shen Baoxin would call to urge him personally.

Jin Yong looked at the manuscript paper that only had four or five sheets in his hand, he was also a person who wrote books, so he naturally knew that such a little manuscript paper was at most tens of thousands of words, and couldn't help but smile bitterly: "Huo Sheng, you are better than me in this manuscript." ”

Huo Yaowen smiled: "Haha, Mr. Cha is really embarrassed, I've been too busy lately, and I wrote this manuscript a long time ago, but don't worry, the University of Hong Kong will also have a holiday soon, and I will write a little more when the time comes." ”

When Jin Yong heard Huo Yaowen's words, he raised his eyebrows and said, "Huo Sheng, I heard that the education foundation you initiated is going to hold a charity performance in Queen's Square on the tenth of this month?"

Huo Yaowen was stunned for a moment, and then remembered that Luo Qiaozhen told the reporter about this last time, and Jin Yong, as the boss of Ming Pao, must also know.

Thinking of this, he said, "Yes, I've been busy with this recently. ”

"Huo Sheng is really concerned about Hong Kong education as reported in the newspaper, which really makes me admire. ”

Jin Yong's face was solemn when he spoke, he really admired Huo Yaowen's charity in his heart, you must know that the activities of the Hong Kong Festival have been arranged a long time ago, this time this charity performance was held on Queen's Road, and it took a lot of effort to come to Huo Yaowen, and he could put a lot of effort into a charity event, how could he not admire it.

Huo Yaowen said modestly: "Mr. Cha has an overreputation, but he is just doing my part." ”

Jin Yong hesitated for a few seconds and said, "Huo Sheng, I don't know if I can do my part in this charity performance!"

"It's an honor!"

Huo Yaowen's eyes lit up, and he laughed: "I am naturally happy that Mr. Cha can come, I can't hide it, I also want to invite you to participate in this charity performance this time." ”

This time he came to Ming Pao, Huo Yaowen just wanted to invite Jin Yong to participate in this charity event, and other writers and friends were easy to invite, but Jin Yong was different, in addition to his identity as a martial arts writer, he was also the boss of a well-known newspaper in Hong Kong, so naturally he couldn't just make a phone call like others.

"Well, that's it, I'll definitely participate when the time comes. Jin Yong smiled slightly.

...

Tuesday, December 6th, at seven o'clock in the morning.

Early in the morning, Huo Yaowen got up with a yawn, he couldn't get up early, and today he made an appointment with Anna to see the opening ceremony of the Hong Kong Festival.

As the day of the charity education performance is getting closer and closer, Huo Yaowen is a lot more relaxed.

Li Hanxiang is in charge of the performance list and entertainers, Luo Qiaozhen greets those celebrities in the charity industry in advance, and Zhang Chengyi implements the preparation of the coordination staff.

Huo Yaowen himself was idle.

Today is the first day of the Hong Kong Festival, and Fok Yiuwen is ready to take Anna to see this grand event in the city.

Central on Hong Kong Island, near Queen's Road.

"Get off here. Huo Yaowen slowed down and stopped on the side of the road.

Anna got out of the car, looked at the gradual increase in the flow of people around her, and the scene in the distance, which can almost be said to be a "sea of people", and couldn't help but say to Huo Yaowen in surprise: "There are a lot of people here. ”

"Of course, there are many, Hong Kong Festival, there must be more people who come to see the excitement. Huo Yaowen smiled softly, he just considered that there were too many people in front of him, and he was afraid that he would not be able to get out of the traffic jam when he drove over, so it was better to walk and see the excitement.

The Hong Kong Festival is a grand event held by the British government in Hong Kong Island, Kowloon and the New Territories in order to channel public grievances and appease people's hearts.

To put it bluntly, I just want to create an atmosphere of singing and dancing.

In 1967, after the outbreak of the Star Ferry fare hike, the British government in Hong Kong published the Report of the Kowloon Riots Inquiry Committee, recommending that "youth activities should be used to relieve the excess energy of young people as one of the ways to prevent social disturbances".

In 1968, the British Government set up a steering committee to study the feasibility of arranging a week-long entertainment for Hong Kong.

Although the plan was good, it was not until early 1969 that the committee received a $4 million grant from the Finance Department of the Hong Kong Governor's Government to organize the grand event of the Hong Kong Festival.

According to the latest issue of the newspaper, there will be a total of 447 performances from December, and the Hong Kong Festival has a total of 10 days, with more than 450 kinds of performances, an average of 45 in a day.

From all kinds of folk juggling, to singers singing on stage, to the lanterns in the night, and the large float parade on the last day, it can be said that it is the largest urban event in the history of Hong Kong's opening of the port, costing as much as HK$4 million.

...

After playing with Anna for a day at the Hong Kong Festival, Huo Yaowen also thought about taking a two-day break, so that he could have a good speech on the day of the charity performance, but Luo Qiaozhen's phone call made him have to go back to the foundation.

Half an hour later, inside the Hong Kong Education Foundation.

Huo Yaowen sat opposite Luo Qiaozhen and asked suspiciously, "Director Luo, why are you so anxious about what you said on the phone?"

Luo Qiaozhen said: "I also want you to rest for two more days, so that you can have a good performance at the charity meeting, but this matter must be decided by you personally." ”

"What the hell is going on?" Huo Yaowen frowned, looking at Luo Qiaozhen with a serious face.

Luo Qiaozhen paused and said: "Mr. Li from Jade Channel personally called, hoping to broadcast the whole charity performance, and at the same time promised that all advertising expenses in the broadcast of the program will be donated to our education foundation. ”

"That's a good thing. ”

Huo Yaowen was happy in his heart, if it can be broadcast on TV, then there must be more viewers, even if TV is not popular now, except for relatively wealthy families, many citizens can't afford it, but this does not affect him to harvest a wave of fame.

Anna said with a smile: "Yes, it is indeed good news, but Li's TV station also applied to us to be able to broadcast this charity performance, in addition to donating advertising money to us, they also donated an additional 300,000 Hong Kong dollars to the education foundation." ”

At the end, Anna said, "They all want to be exclusive." ”

At this time, Huo Yaowen began to ponder.

According to historical development, Li's TV station will sooner or later collapse and be acquired by someone to become Asia TV, but Asia TV will also go out of business sooner or later, and Jade TV is different, it has been laughing at the Hong Kong TV industry for decades, and its self-made TV dramas and programs have long occupied the top spot in the ratings of Hong Kong TV.

It should have been said that choosing Emerald Terrace was the best.

But at this time, Li's TV station is the largest pay TV station in Hong Kong, and the audience may not be as large as the free wireless TV station like Jade Channel.

As a well-known media group in the United Kingdom, in addition to its local business, Lai Voice has established "Lai Wai Wai Voice" radio station in Hong Kong, Singapore, Malaysia and Barbados and Thailand, and has also established "Lai Sing Sing" cable TV station in Hong Kong, involving media business throughout Southeast Asia.

In the long run, it must be suitable for Jade Channel, which has just been established for a few years, but if you don't consider more than ten years later, then Li's TV station is the best partner to work with.

More than ten seconds later.

"Jade Channel, they are a free TV station, and there are a lot of citizens who watch it. ”

Huo Yaowen looked up at Luo Qiaozhen: "What do you think?"

"Haven't you decided?" Luo Qiaozhen smiled.

Huo Yaowen nodded, and said with a smile: "That's okay, it's Jade Channel, but Director Luo, you can tell Jade Channel about the conditions of Li's TV station, these two TV stations seem to have spent a lot of money in order to compete for audiences recently, so it shouldn't be a problem to donate a little money to the foundation." ”

Recently, in order to cater to the Hong Kong Festival, these two TV stations can be said to have spent a lot of money, and they both got an outdoor live broadcast near Central on Hong Kong Island.

Jade Channel even moved Happy Tonight, the main program of the TV station, to the outdoors to hype it up, just to compete for the audience.

In this year, it costs a lot of money to engage in outdoor live broadcasts, unlike when you can shoot with a mobile phone.

When the matter was almost over, Luo Qiaozhen took out the list of invited guests from the drawer, "In terms of guests, I have invited them in the name of you and the foundation, this is the list, you can take a look." ”

Huo Yaowen took the list and glanced at it, just at the first glance, he saw a lot of bigwigs in Hong Kong's political and business circles at this time, and swept it down at a glance, good guys, if these people are left in the future, it can be said that half of Hong Kong is the country.
