In the evening, it was Masao Okamura who was the east and ate at a traditional Japanese restaurant, which had authentic Japanese food, although Wei Xiong didn't think it was very good, and he also had a traditional Japanese song and dance appreciation, that is, a geisha, but he was also interested in traditional Japanese song and dance Wei Xiong.

However, after all, Masao Okamura is the person in charge of Media Asia in Japan, and the Japanese branch is the largest branch of Media Asia in the world, with a high position, Wei Xiong naturally wants to give some face, so even if he is no longer interested, he can only show a serious appreciation.

After dinner, Masao Gangmura wanted to take Wei Xiong to the next game, but Wei Xiong politely refused, now there are more women around him, and they are all as beautiful as flowers, and they are not as impulsive as ordinary people for the wild flowers outside. What's more, Noriko Sakai is still waiting for him in the hotel.

Back at the hotel, taking a shower, and sitting on the couch reviewing a few urgent documents, a piece of news on the TV caught his mind.

"According to related news, the famous cartoonist Osamu Tezuka was hospitalized for stomach pain a few days ago, but today there is news from hospital insiders that the doctor found a tumor in the stomach of Osamu Tezuka, and after testing, it has been diagnosed as a malignant tumor, and now Osamu Tezuka is ......"

Osamu Tezuka?Wei Xiong turned his attention to television, this Osamu Tezuka is an amazing character, known as the 'father of Japanese animation', Japan can become a world-renowned animation kingdom, and Tezuka's contribution is indelible. It just seems a little wrong.

In his memory, Osamu Tezuka should have been diagnosed with stomach cancer in 88 and then died in 89. Why is it a year ahead of schedule now, is it because of his appearance? Of course, Tezuka can't get stomach cancer, and when he gets stomach cancer has nothing to do with him.

What he really focused on was Toei Animation, Osamu Tezuka's company, which was one of the largest and oldest animation production companies in Japan.

He suddenly had some thoughts, and just at this time, Sakai Noriko came out of the bedroom, saw the news on the TV, and seemed to say casually: "Stomach cancer? I didn't expect Mr. Osamu Tezuka to have such a serious illness at this time, and it seems that Toei Animation is in trouble again this time." ”

What do you mean that you're in trouble again? Could it be that there was trouble before? Wei Xiong couldn't help but ask, "What kind of big trouble has Toei Animation been in lately?"

Seeing that Wei Xiong was interested, Sakai Noriko said what he knew: "A few days ago, it was reported on the news that Toei Animation's finances were in trouble, and the bank's debts had been overdue several times, and now the bank is suing Toei Animation in court. ”

"In recent years, Toei Animation has produced a lot of successful cartoons, which look beautiful on the surface, but it has not achieved the expected profits, the most important reason is the high copyright fees, and the actions produced by Toei Animation in recent years have been adapted from manga. ”

"Take "Dragon Ball" as an example, Toei Animation bought the animation adaptation rights of "Dragon Ball" from Shueisha, but it took ...... I forgot how much, it's quite expensive anyway, these are all on the news, boss, if you want to know, tomorrow I'll look for the newspaper from the previous days. ”

"No need. Wei Xiong smiled, pinched Sakai lightly on the cheek, and then pulled down the tie of the bathrobe, the bathrobe was not completely loosened, but Sakai already understood what he meant, and immediately squatted between his legs, and after a while, he licked greedily.

"Hey, I'm Wei Xiong. At this time, Wei Xiong picked up the landline next to him and dialed Taniyama Shangyi's phone, and some things Taniyama Shangyi was more clear.

"Oh, hello, I don't know what Mr. Wei commands. As soon as he heard that it was Wei Xiong, Taniyama Shangyi's tone immediately changed 180 degrees.

"I'm sorry to disturb Gu Shanjun so late. That's right, how much do you know about Toei Animation's current situation?"

"This ......", as the president of the manga club, is also half a peer with Toei Animation, and naturally knows a lot about Toei Animation's current situation Taniyama Naoyoshi, at least more than on the news, but he doesn't know why Wei Xiong suddenly asked this so late.

"I know a little, but not a lot, as far as I know, Toei Animation's current financial situation is very poor, mainly due to two reasons, the first is that the copyright fee for manga adaptation is too high, and the second is that it is losing money, although Toei has produced many successful anime films over the years. ”

But there are also many failures, but these failures are all overshadowed by the light of those successful works, and the performance seems to be infinitely beautiful, but in fact it has long been in crisis...... However, I heard that Toei has already negotiated with the bank, and the bank will postpone the repayment date of the loan. ”

"According to you, although Toei's current situation is very bad, there is no worry about life and death, unless the bank forces them to pay back immediately?"

"That's right, at least there is still "Dragon Ball" to support it, and now Toei is already working on the second part of Dragon Ball, and it is estimated that it can be sold at a good price. ”

It makes sense for Wei Xiong to think about it, Toei has a deep heritage after all, how can it be so easy to go out of business. In addition, banks are certainly not a problem, and now that the Japanese stock market and housing market are slowly rising, the government is implementing an easy monetary policy, and it is easy for banks to lend.

"Click. After chatting a few more words and learning more about Toei's situation, Wei Xiong hung up the phone, and Sakai, who was waiting hard, raised his head, and asked while playing with the hideous giant beast with his gloves, "Boss, are you interested in Toei Animation?"

"It's useless for me to be interested, it depends on whether people need it, forget it, I'll talk about this later, little goblin, sit up by yourself." ”

……

Zhou Meichun is a small actor, mainly as a small supporting role in some movies, at most she shows a few faces and says a few lines, but now Hong Kong movies are in a period of rapid development, and there are many people who want to be actors, but not everyone has the opportunity to play a supporting role.

In addition, the conditions are good, and I occasionally attend some dinners under the bridging line of some people, and I have a very good time. But this is before, since the Huang Jinsen sex-scandal was exposed, she has not taken on any more dramas, and she has never appeared in big public places.

It's not that she doesn't want to take on the show, it's not that she doesn't want to be in the limelight, but Huang Jinsen doesn't let it, because she is the heroine in Huang Jinsen's sex-scandal, if Huang Jinsen hadn't stopped it, maybe she would have jumped out and admitted it herself, she was still worried about not having a chance to be famous.

Of course, it is not entirely right to say that Huang Jinsen stopped her, she is looking at the face of the hush money given by Huang Jinsen. After two or three months like this, she thought that the limelight had passed, and she was thinking about paying, but she didn't expect Zhao Yayi to return to Hong Kong, and the wind was blowing more fiercely than before.

And the direction of the wind this time is not exactly the same, even Zhao Yazhi was pulled into the water, and he was still guilty of derailing first, so he has been thinking about standing up and admitting it for the past few days, after all, last time is the last time, this time is this time, Huang Jinsen did not give her hush money this time.

That night, she was dressing up and about to go out, when the phone rang.

"Hey, who's that?"

"It's me, where are you now?"

Zhou Meichun, who was still a little impatient, immediately changed her tone when she heard the voice on the phone, and said in a loud voice: "It's Brother Wen, I'm at home, I'm just about to go out, is there anything wrong with you?"

"I'm in the café across from Kester Tower, you can come right over. ”

After speaking, the other party hung up, Zhou Meichun couldn't help but ask more, and at the same time, she was inexplicable, but she couldn't help but go. The full name of the person who called was Li Yiwen, and he was her agent, and she was still counting on Li Yiwen to take over the job for her, how dare she offend him.

More than half an hour later, Zhou Meichun followed what was on the phone and came to the café opposite the Kester Building, which is now famous in Hong Kong, because it is the headquarters of the Weishi Entertainment Group, and there are many big-name stars who come and go here every day.

"Brother Wen, what's the matter with you looking for me in such a hurry?"

Zhou Meichun soon found a man in his thirties with ordinary looking glasses in the café, who was obviously that Li Yiwen.

"Of course there is an emergency, I haven't seen Mr. Zeng soon, Mr. Zeng, don't mind, the people below don't know how to be polite. ”

Zhou Meichun found out that there was a short fat man sitting opposite Li Yiwen, looking at his appearance, who else could Zeng Zhiwei, the president of Wei's Films, have.

"Zeng, Mr. Zeng, I'm sorry, I didn't notice you. ”

"It's okay, Ah Wen, if there is anything, you can go and get busy first, I'll just talk to Miss Zhou myself." ”

Hearing this, Li Yiwen was not interested, immediately picked up the coat on the side, got up and said goodbye: "It just so happens that I have something to do, so you two will talk first." ”

He probably knew Zeng Zhiwei's purpose for looking for Zhou Meichun, because Huang Jinsen met Zhou Meichun through him, and this time Zeng Zhiwei bluntly said that he was looking for the heroine of 'Huang Jinsen's sex-scandal', although he found him here through two or three layers of relationships.

After Li Yiwen left, Zeng Zhiwei looked at Meichun next week, she looked very beautiful, but she was far worse than Zhao Yayi, and I didn't know what Huang Jinsen's vision was.

"Does Miss Zhou know the purpose of my search for you today?"

"This ......" Zhou Meichun looked embarrassed, how did she know what was going on, Li Yiwen didn't tell her on the phone just now.

"It seems that Miss Zhou doesn't know, so I won't beat around the bush. Zeng Zhiwei took out a check from his jacket pocket and put it on the table, and then pushed it in front of Zhou Meichun: "Here is 1 million Hong Kong dollars, as long as you help me do something, this 1 million is yours." ”

"What, what's the matter?" Looking at the series of '0' on the check, Zhou Meichun only felt that her heart was beating so hard that she couldn't even take her eyes off, you must know that she has been in the entertainment industry for so many years, and now the deposit in the bank is less than one-tenth of this check.

To put it bluntly, this is the first time she has seen so much money when she is so big.

"Take the initiative to disclose your affair with Huang Jinsen, and in addition, you must say that the affair with Huang Jinsen started a year ago. ”

Zeng Zhiwei said his purpose, which was also Wei Xiong's special call from Japan to ask him to do it, because the media reported that Zhao Yazhi and the people opened the Peninsula Hotel more than half a year ago, as long as Zhou Meichun said that her affair with Huang Jinsen began a year ago.

The news in the entertainment tabloid that 'it was Zhao Yazhi who cheated first' is self-defeating. However, in order to find this Zhou Meichun, Zeng Zhiwei really worked hard, after all, the photos published in the newspaper are only on the side, but fortunately, his connections in the circle are not bad.

"No problem, that's what I promised. Zhou Meichun agreed very happily, and she was thinking about whether to take the initiative to admit it, now that there are such great benefits, then there is no need to think again.

"It's fine, but I have one more request. ”

"Mr. Zeng, please speak. ”

"I've already told you what to say, but it has nothing to do with me. Zeng Zhiwei's face was cold, and the warning could not be more obvious.

"Don't worry, I know what you mean, I will never talk nonsense. ”

"Also, when it's over, you leave Hong Kong and you're not allowed to set foot in Hong Kong or Macau for five years. ”

"This ......" Zhou Meichun's face changed suddenly, she can't set foot in Hong Kong and Macau for five years, which means that she basically has to give up everything now, which is not something that can be agreed casually.

"What, is there a problem?" Zeng Zhiwei's face became even colder: "Do you think this 1 million is so easy to take? Think about it carefully, this is 1 million, as long as you spend money and don't spend much, it is enough for you to live comfortably in any country in Southeast Asia for four or five years." ”

Looking at the million-dollar check close at hand, Zhou Meichun thought about it for a while, and finally couldn't resist the temptation of money, nodded heavily, and said, "Okay, I agreed." ”

After speaking, Zhou Meichun couldn't wait to reach out to get the check, but was held down by Zeng Zhiwei.

"Since you agreed, then let's put the ugly words in front, if you don't keep your promise and return to Hong Kong within five years, then don't blame me for being ruthless, presumably if I want to ban a little actor now, the people in the circle will still give me some face. ”

Zhou Meichun's expression froze instantly, she was really a little cautious, but now...... After a little hesitation, she still put the check in her pocket, this 1 million is the most real, get it first, as for the rest, it is not too late to think about it later.

……

"Come and buy it, Huang Jinsen's sex-scandal has broken out again, and the identity of the sex-scandal heroine has been revealed, and there are only a few copies left, and if you don't buy it, it will be ......gone."

Huang Jinsen was walking home with breakfast, wearing a hat on his head and sunglasses, for fear of being recognized. He now lives in a neighborhood not far from the front, except for a few good friends, no one knows, and every time he goes in and out, he is careful to prevent his identity from being exposed.

Now he seems to have become a street rat, and if the word spreads from where he lives, he will not tear up the reporters who ask for money and do not want their lives.

As soon as he walked past a small newsstand, his footsteps suddenly stopped, and after a pause, he walked quickly to the newspaper stop: "Boss, what did you just say?"

"Huang Jinsen's sex-scandal heroine appeared, and a few days ago, there were newspapers saying that Zhao Yazhi cheated first, and now it seems that all ......"

The newsstand owner is an old man, and when he saw someone asking, he was probably so bored that he couldn't stop talking about it, but Huang Jinsen was not in the mood to listen to him. After rummaging through a number of newspapers, I finally saw a report in "Sing Tao Daily" with the title "Super Big Revelation".

At this time, he didn't care about anything else, took off his sunglasses and looked carefully, only to see that the most conspicuous thing in the report was two photos put together, the photo on the left was one of the sex-love photos that Huang Jinsen had been exposed before, and the heroine in this photo could only see the side face.

However, it is already relatively clear among all the photos. The photo on the right is a frontal photo of a woman, not Zhou Meichun, who else could it be.

Although it is one side and one front, it is not difficult to see that the two photos are the same person when compared together. In addition, the report also described in detail the process of Zhou Meichun and Huang Jinsen's acquaintance and derailment, and the most important thing is to emphasize the time when the two derailed.

"Bullshit, all fucking bullshit. Looking at the so-called facts that the newspaper was full of fabrications, Huang Jinsen angrily tore the newspaper to shreds.

"Eh, why are you tearing up my newspaper like this, hey, aren't you that Huang Jinsen......? No wonder I'm so angry, it's the ugly thing exposed, hey, let's come and take a look, Huang Jinsen is here, and the cheating Huang Jinsen is here......"

"You are not allowed to run, you haven't been paid yet, you are not allowed to run......"

Seeing that the people around him heard the shouts of the newsstand boss and gradually gathered around, how dare Huang Jinsen stay any longer, he didn't even give the newspaper money, and ran away......

"Miss Zhou Meichun, some people say that you seduced Huang Jinsen, what do you want to say, will you feel guilty for destroying someone's family?"

"Miss Zhou, why did you take the initiative to admit that you were the object of Huang Jinsen's extramarital affair, and why did you choose to be at this time?"

"Miss Zhou, in the report of "Sing Tao Daily", only the time when you Huang Jinsen had a relationship for the first time, but there is no specific process, can you introduce the situation at that time?"

“……”

As soon as Zhou Meichun came out of the mall, she was surrounded by dozens of reporters, this kind of scene was the first time she had experienced it for so many years in the industry, and a strong vanity immediately rose in her heart, but she finally did not forget the purpose of her coming to the mall today.

"Everyone, be quiet, don't squeeze, how can I answer like this, everyone be quiet......"

shouted twice in a row, and the reporter who seemed to be doping stopped and looked at her intently, waiting for her to expose some explosive news.

"I believe you have a lot of doubts in your hearts now, first of all, the reason why I took the initiative to stand up this time is because Miss Zhao Yazhi was innocently implicated, and when I say this, everyone will definitely think that I am a cat crying mouse fake mercy, because I am Huang Jinsen's extramarital affair partner. ”

"But I didn't think of such a thing, I just regarded Huang Jinsen as an ordinary friend, but who knew that he was a beast at all, once he asked me out to drink, deliberately drugged my wine, and then ...... He also took pictures and threatened me afterwards. ”
