Chapter 193: Signing Conference
"Truant Dragon" grossed a total of 34.73 million at the Hong Kong box office when it was released at the end of August, which is the lowest among the four films released by Wei, and it is also far lower than the figure in Wei Xiong's memory, but no one finds it strange, including Wei Xiong.
You must know that before this, Zhou Xingchi was a complete newcomer, except for playing some Song Bing A and B who had no lines in some TV series, he didn't even have acting experience, let alone fame. Therefore, it is a miracle that the first film can have such a result.
At least in the eyes of outsiders. So Zhou Xingchi became red, completely red. However, many people still have doubts about whether Zhou's nonsensical comedy style can really be accepted by the market, so there are not many film companies that have delivered scripts to Zhou Xingchi at present, and the scripts taken out by individual film companies are all rubbish, and they were not even sent to Zhou Xingchi, so they were pushed away by Zhou Xingchi's agent.
Zhou Xingchi also knows his own situation, after all, he has the habit of reading newspapers and periodicals every day, and some newspapers and periodicals don't know what politeness is when they comment on him. At present, he is waiting for the release of "The Saint of Gambling" to make a name for himself. He is still very confident in this.
Because when filming "The Saint of Gambling", his grasp of the plot and role was obviously better than that of "Truant Dragon", even he could feel it, and director Liu Zhenwei and the company's production director Zeng Zhiwei also felt that he acted very well and was very confident in the box office of the film.
During this time, he was excited whenever he thought that he would be able to truly become a first-line male star in Hong Kong soon, this was his wish since he was a child, and now he has fulfilled his wish to return to the beauty, which can be described as a career and love, and he is even more proud in his heart.
However, at this time, when he heard Zhang Meng say this, he couldn't help but be stunned, thinking about it in his heart, he felt that it made some sense, if the company thought that patting and dragging would affect his popularity, maybe it would stop it, and when he was just starting out in his career, even if he wanted to resist, he had no ability.
In fact, he didn't want to think about it, he didn't take the idol route, unless there was any scandal, how could his popularity be damaged because of an ordinary pat? It can only be said that fame and fortune came too suddenly, making it difficult for him to adapt to his current position in a short period of time.
Or it is precisely because it came too suddenly, so I am more afraid of losing, so that the grass and trees are all soldiers. After a while, his mentality should slowly adjust, but now...... I saw him nod his head thoughtfully, and then said worriedly: "But ...... just now"
"We don't mean anything about having a meal together, if Mr. Houback or someone else comes to talk to you, you can deny it. ”
Even if she didn't meet Wei Xiong today, Zhang Meng would still say this to Zhou Xingchi, mainly because she saw that Zhou Xingchi was a little too excited, and she was worried that he would say it as soon as his mind was hot, in that case, she would be really miserable, you must know that relatively speaking, the scandal has a greater impact on the woman.
She has just debuted, but she doesn't want to affect her career because of the scandal, at least the current Zhou Xingchi is not worth her effort. And if it reaches Xiang Huaqiang's ears...... She was scared when she thought about it, and no one knew what the angry Xiang Huaqiang would do to her......
After several rounds of negotiations, a joint acquisition group formed by Wei Xiong and the Ho family finally reached an agreement with the Portuguese and Macao governments on the investment plan of Macau TV station.
Acquired a 49% stake in Macau Television for HK$24 million. Not only that, the agreement clearly stipulates the proportion and method of reducing the shares of the Portuguese and Macao governments in the next three years, and under the same conditions, Wei Xiong and He Jia have the right of first refusal to purchase the shares reduced.
Although Macau TV is not as large as Asia TV, let alone TVB, it is still a TV station with legal photography, and the TV signal covers almost half of Hong Kong.
The key point is that according to rumors, Wei Xiong will be the chairman of the board of directors of Macau Television and will take control of Macau TV, which is equivalent to mastering one of the most important tools in Hong Kong and Macau. Thinking of Wei Xiong being a shareholder of TVB before, many people immediately began to think about it.
No one can give a clear answer, but a TV-related incident has aroused a lot of interest recently - TVB aired a trailer for "Twelve Legends" about 2 minutes long in prime time in the evening.
The novel mode, beautiful scenery, and excellent production all made the audience refreshed, especially with Wei Xiong as the host, and the first guest was Zhou Huimin, who had been with Wei Xiong for a long time, which immediately aroused the expectations and gossip enthusiasm of the media and countless audiences.
In fact, there is no need for anything else, even if it is the most ordinary show, as long as Wei Xiong appears in this show, it can attract a large number of fans and curious people to watch, not to mention that this so-called "Twelve Legends" also contains so many eye-catching highlights.
In order to meet the interest of readers, the paparazzi continue to inquire about the news through various channels, and I have to say that the paparazzi in Hong Kong are really powerful, and almost every day the newspaper will expose a little new thing.
And with the more news exposed, the more hype "Twelve Legends" is getting hotter, plus TVB loops trailers in major periods every day, most Hong Kong people know about TVB's upcoming show, and under this much-anticipated attention,
Wei Xiong, Ho Chaoqiong and representatives of the Portuguese and Macao governments held a press conference in Macau, and the large number of journalists present, remembering the originally spacious press conference hall, these reporters came for the theme of the day, but also for other purposes.
However, he said that since the news of Wei Xiong's acquisition of Macau TV and the release of the trailer of "Twelve Legends", Hong Kong and Macao, and even overseas, I don't know how many media reporters want to interview Wei Xiong, but Wei Xiong still has the previous non-violent and non-cooperative attitude, and refuses to do so.
Now Weixiong held a signing press conference, which just gave reporters a platform to ask questions, so the reporters who came far exceeded the expectations of the organizers.
In the dazzling spotlight, Ho Chao Qiong and the representatives of the Portuguese and Macao governments signed their names on the contract, and then Ho Chao Qiong and the representatives of the Portuguese and Macao governments made speeches respectively, which were nothing more than some of the things that would work together to build Macau TV into a stronger station.
This kind of scene is necessary on this occasion, but I am afraid that there are few people who really like to listen to it, so He Chaoqiong and the representatives of the Portuguese and Macao governments only spoke for a few minutes before it ended, and then the signing press conference entered the most anticipated question time for reporters.
When the first reporter was named by the host, he unsurprisingly aimed at Wei Xiong: "Hello Mr. Wei, I heard that you will be the chairman of the board of directors of Macau Television Station, does this mean that you will focus more on TV stations in the future?"
"I have always had a strong interest in the TV industry, so I invested in TVB before, and this time since the acquisition of Macau TV will naturally change, but the company's management is mainly in charge of Miss Ho, if you have any questions, you can ask her. ”
Wei Xiong directly made a mistake and threw the problem to He Chaoqiong, he has never liked to deal with reporters, if it weren't for such a major occasion as signing today, he couldn't participate as the chairman of the board of directors, he really didn't want to come. It's a pity that his wishful thinking was wrong.
At this time, another reporter stood up: "Mr. Wei, what is the reason for you to make the unique entertainment program "Twelve Legends"? Also, you asked Zhou Huimin to be the guest of the first episode of the program, do you want to announce your relationship?"
Hearing this, Wei Xiong originally wanted to refuse to answer, but after thinking about it, "Twelve Legends" will be broadcast soon, and adding a fire today should help the ratings of the show, so he swallowed back the words of refusal, but said with a smile:
"There's no particular reason, it's just that I personally like to cook food, and I just happened to have this idea, so I thought it was good, so I did it myself. In fact, there is also an introduction at the opening of the show, you can take a look at it then, and I believe that the show will not disappoint you. As for choosing Xiao Min as the guest of the first issue, it is not as complicated as you think, but Xiao Min just happens to be free. ”
I don't know whether it was intentional or unintentional, he did not deny that Zhou Huimin was his girlfriend, which undoubtedly left enough room for the media to play.
Sure enough, the reporters who looked like they were at the bottom immediately discovered the loophole in these words, and they all looked excited, and they found that Wei Xiong was much more cooperative today than before, and it could be said that the opportunity could not be lost and would not come again, and the next reporter fired at Wei Xiong again:
"It is said that there are twelve episodes in the first season of "Twelve Legends", can you reveal the guests in the later episodes?
"Each issue of "The Legend of the Twelve Paths" will invite a different number of guests, and there is no plan whether Xiaoxian will become a guest of "The Legend of the Twelve Paths". Mainly see if Xiaoxian has time at the time. However, there should be a few female guests invited. ”
Hearing Wei Xiong say this, the reporters below were naturally more excited, but He Chaoqiong, who was sitting next to Wei Xiong, was not happy, and kept cursing Wei Xiong in his heart for being a big carrot, and it was so shameless and shameless to step on two boats so openly.
Of course, no matter what she was thinking, she always maintained a faint smile on her face.
