Chapter 171: A Change in History
I didn't change anything yesterday, and the two chapters I owe will be made up today.
――――――――――――――――――――――――――
With the broadcast of the interview on Fuji TV, Weixiong's popularity in Japan has increased significantly, after all, television is still the most important way to disseminate information, and the result is that the sales of his manga and albums have increased by a large margin.
And Sakai Noriko also reappeared in the public eye after a few days of 'recuperation', and when attending an event, some male fans even sent a large bag of expensive supplements as a condolence to their idols, and many media also specially greeted her illness before asking questions.
Not to mention how Sakai answered when a reporter asked, 'I heard that you had a cold a few days ago, are you getting better now?', at this time, Wei Xiong has returned to Hong Kong and is ready to participate in the night of the upcoming Hong Kong Film Awards.
"The champion of Miss Hong Kong this year is Lizhi?" Wei Xiong's expression was obviously stunned, because in his memory, Lizhi should be the champion of this year's Asian sister, how did he become the champion of Miss Hong Kong? He immediately took the document that Cui Muqing had just passed from TVB.
It's really Li Zhi, at this time, Cui Muqing, who didn't know why, said: "Is there any problem? Li Zhi is not only outstanding in appearance, but also graduated from the University of San Francisco in the United States, and now the media calls her the sexiest Hong Kong sister in history, I think it is quite appropriate for her to be elected champion." ”
The sexiest Hong Kong sister? Wei Xiong was stunned, he thought of Li Jiaxin, who was known as the most beautiful Hong Kong sister, and then smiled dumbly, maybe it was his intervention that changed history, so why bother with this. And Cui Muqing's next words made him unbearable again.
However, yesterday ATV's Li Zhuanglie said in an interview with reporters that TVB's methods were disgraceful, and questioned the fairness of Sister Hong Kong. Later, someone broke the news to the media that Lizhi originally signed up for Sister Ya, but later TVB promised her to win the championship, so she switched to Sister Hong Kong. ”
Today's newspaper Wei Xiong hasn't had time to read it, so he doesn't know about these news: "What about the ratings of the finals, who is higher?"
"Sister Hong Kong is more than a dozen points higher, and most of the newspapers have reported in the past few days that Sister Hong Kong is the majority, and Sister Ya's momentum seems to be much weaker than last year, otherwise Li Zhuanglie would not be so angry that he bombarded TVB in public, and it seems that this war between the two sides still has to be fought. ”
"Hehe, with the importance that Uncle Sixth attaches to Sister Hong Kong, TVB did something to dig up the wall as a last resort, although it was not kind or honorable. But for TVB, as long as the ratings and the attention of Sister Hong Kong can be guaranteed, everything is worth it. ”
After Cui Muqing went out, Wei Xiong made a call to Fan Wei. At the beginning, in order to increase the attractiveness of Sister Hong Kong, TVB promised that Shaw Brothers and Wei's would jointly create a movie for the champion, but Wei Xiong agreed, and the script had already been written and handed over to Shaw Brothers.
"Eight Star Annunciation" is the 88-year Hong Kong box office champion in the original history, and now it is used by Wei Xiong to cooperate with Shaw Brothers, Li Zhi will play the role of Tian Hong, the girlfriend of Fang Jianlang, the second child of the Fang family, who was originally played by Zheng Yuling in the film, and will appropriately increase Li Zhi's role.
According to Wei Xiong's plan, this drama will be released during this year's Spring Festival, and with many big names, Lizhi's fame will definitely improve a lot.
After hanging up the phone, Wei Xiong picked up today's newspaper and looked at it, almost every newspaper has news about Sister Hong Kong and Sister Ya, but relatively speaking, Sister Hong Kong has more news, which shows that Sister Hong Kong is more concerned by the media, or Hong Kong people, than Sister Ya.
And the same as the previous Miss Hong Kong champions, this Miss Hong Kong champion is also accompanied by honor and controversy, the difference is because of Li Zhuanglie's public bombardment and anonymous people's big news, the public opinion around Li Zhi is more violent, and praise and attacks are almost equal.
praised, described as Li Zhi has the face of an angel and the body of a devil, is the sexiest Hong Kong sister in history, coupled with her status as a returnee student who graduated from the University of San Francisco, it is the best interpretation of the beauty and wisdom of Hong Kong women, and it is also completely in line with the theme of Miss Hong Kong.
attacked, although it is not denied that Li Zhi is the sexiest Hong Kong sister in history, but he pointed out that there are not a few players with returnee experience in the finals, and there are one or two who can be compared with Li Zhi, although the appearance is not as good as Li Zhi, but when performing talent shows and answering questions from the judges,
Li Zhidu can only be regarded as decent, in comparison, the runner-up Wu Wanfang's comprehensive performance is much better. So many people have a question: Why did Li Zhi win the championship? Is it because she is beautiful, or is TVB really operating in the dark?
Because of this question, the fairness of the selection of Miss Hong Kong was inevitably questioned. In addition, some right-wing media even criticized Li Zhi for being born in Shanghai and immigrating to Hong Kong in 81, and after deducting the three years of study, Li Zhi only lived in Hong Kong for two years, so she was not eligible to participate in the Miss Hong Kong contest representing Hong Kong women. In this regard, TVB published an official statement in "Ming Pao".
The statement is very simple, first listing the registration requirements for Miss Hong Kong, and then emphasizing that no matter where you were born and raised, even if you are a black person, as long as you have a permanent residence permit in Hong Kong and meet other relevant regulations, you can sign up for the Miss Hong Kong selection.
As for being accused of black-box operation, TVB has never made any response, according to Shao Yifu's original words: Some people may doubt the fairness of the selection process, but I am afraid that few people will think that Li Zhi is not suitable for this year's Miss Hong Kong champion. In that case, what is there to respond to?
Of course, Wei Xiong didn't know what Shao Yifu said, but he could probably guess Shao Yifu's thoughts, now that the finals have just ended, it is when Lizhi is at its peak, and media reports, whether positive or negative, essentially have a propaganda effect.
After reading the newspaper and processing some documents, Wei Xiong was about to go to the recording studio, Wu Siyuan came, he didn't come alone, and then he followed a short and fat man, just looking at the body shape is indeed very similar to Wang Jing, Wei Xiong immediately greeted happily in unison.
"Hehe, welcome Mr. Zeng, please take a seat. This little chubby dun is none other than Zeng Zhiwei, the big brother of the future Hong Kong entertainment industry.
"I have admired Mr. Wei for a long time, and you can ask for it. Zeng Zhiwei behaved very humbly, and after the two shook hands, he politely sat down on the sofa. Speaking of which, Zeng Zhiwei is now also quite famous in the Hong Kong entertainment industry, just because he was one of the seven monsters of New Arts City.
participated in the production of many blockbuster movies, but then the seven monsters did not agree, except for Mai Jia, Huang Baiming and Shi Tian, the other four left the new art city one after another, Xu Ke and Shi Nansheng set up a film studio with the support of Lei Juekun, the boss of the Golden Princess, Teddy Robin continued to work on his music, and Zeng Zhiwei went to Taiwan in order to have a better development, but the final result was similar to Wu Yusen.
The trip to Taiwan not only failed to bring a second spring to his career, but made the influence he had accumulated in Hong Kong disappear in the past. Soon after returning to Hong Kong, he was invited to co-direct Golden Harvest's "Dragon Brother and Tiger Brother" with Cheng Long.
However, "Dragon Brother and Tiger Brother" will not be released until the end of July, and no one knows how the box office will be, so in general, he should be at a low ebb in his career now, and at this time, receiving an invitation from Wei Xiong, a new tycoon in the entertainment industry, is a good thing no matter what.
"Recently, the Sakai method under the umbrella of Media Asia is really amazing, I heard a friend in Taiwan say that in Taiwan and Japan is a mess, I don't know how many businesses are vying for her endorsement and platform, and only Mr. Wei has the ability to create this miracle. ”
"Hehe, don't praise me like this, the work is important, but the singer's own conditions are also essential, such as affinity, singers with affinity can be more loved and recognized by fans. In an exclusive interview with Fuji TV, I also said that when I choose a singer, the most important thing is the eye. If the appearance is too bad, although it may also be popular, it is likely that the singer will not be popular. ”
"Anyway, Sakai's ability to be so popular now is due to you, Mr. Wei, and it also proves your vision for seeing people. ”
……
chatted casually for a while, during which a lot of Zeng Zhiwei complimented Wei Xiong, although Wei Xiong has no special fondness for this kind of words, but everyone loves to listen to good words, not to mention that what Zeng Zhiwei said is originally true in the eyes of outsiders, so the atmosphere of the chat is naturally very good.
After Cui Muqing brought the coffee in, Wei Xiong gradually turned to the topic: "I never care about the media's evaluation of me, I only do what I want to do." Okay, let's not talk about this, I invited you to come today, Mr. Zeng, Brother Siyuan should have already told you, right?"
"To be honest, I appreciate Mr. Tsang's ability in films, actors, screenwriters, and directors are all good at filmmakers, but there are few in Hong Kong, if Webster films want to maintain sustainable development, talents like Mr. Tsang are indispensable, I don't know what you think?"
He has long wanted to find a professional assistant for Fan Wei, after all, Fan Wei is good at administrative management, even now, he can only be regarded as an entry into movies, and if he really encounters some professional questions, he still has to ask professionals. It's just that there has been no suitable candidate.
Or that there was no suitable person among the people he knew, until Wu Siyuan appeared, but Wu Siyuan was obviously more suitable for managing Wei's Cinemas, so he set his sights on the people Wu Siyuan knew and were suitable, and Zeng Zhiwei was selected by him from the few choices, as he said, Zeng Zhiwei's ability in movies is quite outstanding, and more importantly, he has a wide range of friends.
With him as the vice president and production director of Webster Films, it will be more convenient to prepare and shoot the film in the future, at least much faster.
