The comrades from the mainland worked very seriously, and inspected "The Legend of the New White Lady" episode by episode, saying that they were afraid that there would be any mistakes in it.

Wang Zijun didn't have time to watch TV series with him, so he called the relevant person in charge of the TV station's department, and then said goodbye and left.

Hong Kong's newspapers, films, and literature are all divided into left and right factions, and even businessmen are divided into left and right. Like the old man Jin Yong's dream "qingren" Xia Meng, he is a famous leftist filmmaker. Jin Yong himself, on the other hand, was regarded as a rightist literati, and he fought a bitter pen war with leftist newspapers such as Ta Kung Pao in the 60s.

In terms of TV stations, TVB and Jiayi TV are both rightist TV stations, and the newly reorganized Asia TV station has no surname.

It stands to reason that mainland TV stations want to come to Hong Kong to buy TV sets, and ATV is the best choice. The three shareholders of Jiayi TV are all rightists, and Wang Zijun is even more Taiwan. b. Born, right can no longer be right.

This Comrade Bi Wenyan probably didn't understand these things at all, so he stupidly bought a TV set on Jiashi and went back, not knowing that "The Legend of the New White Lady" was in Guangzhou. What will happen after the East broadcasts.

At least their Vice Governor Liang must be aware of the situation, because the veteran comrade has been the Hong Kong branch chief of the Xinhua News Agency in Hong Kong for more than 20 years, Tang. During the earthquake, Wang Zijun donated money to the mainland, and he donated it through that person.

Needless to say, if this news is revealed, it will be given to Hong Kong and Taiwan. Some people in the bend create the illusion that Jiashi is turning left.

In fact, Cen Weixiu, one of the three major shareholders of Jiashi, really turned left, and he was preparing to leave for his hometown in the mainland to visit his roots, and he had plans to invest in the mainland.

After leaving the TV station library, Wang Zijun returned to the office, and the secretary Chen Xi handed over a stack of materials and said, "Chairman, this is what Director Shi asked me to hand over to you." ”

"Thank you!" Wang Zijun took the information and said to Chen Xi, "Please make a cup of tea!" ”

The information handed over by Shi Shaoming is a planning plan for Jiashi to establish a beauty pageant, which is also the main purpose of Wang Zijun's visit today.

Although Wang Zijun did not participate in the management and program production of the TV station, he would come up with some good ideas from time to time, and gradually became an omnipotent genius. So much so that when creating a large-scale program below, as long as there is an opportunity, a plan must be handed over to Wang Zijun to see what needs to be improved.

No, taking advantage of Wang Zijun's return to Hong Kong to attend the Academy Awards, Shi Shaoming called Wang Zijun again to ask him to come back and take a closer look at the beauty pageant.

Nowadays, the beauty pageant in Hong Kong, the most famous is the Hong Kong sister beauty pageant of wireless station, and as for the Asian sister beauty pageant of ATV, it has not yet started.

The Miss Hong Kong beauty pageant has been around for exactly ten years since its inception, and the past two years have gradually become an annual event in Hong Kong.

Jiashi's senior management is naturally red-eyed, and last year they were thinking about holding their own beauty pageant, but due to various reasons, it has been delayed until this year.

Flipping through the planning plan, Jiashi's future beauty pageant is named "Oriental Beauty" beauty pageant, and the general process is a reference to the Hong Kong sister beauty pageant, such as twelve judges, swimsuits, talents, Q&A sessions, stipulating the age requirements of the contestants, unmarried and pregnant, can not be an employee of this station, etc.

In order to increase the popularity of the beauty pageant, Shi Shaoming not only plans to invite celebrities such as Jin Yong to be judges, but also wants him Wang Zijun to participate. Isn't this a trap for him? Wang Zijun is famous, and if he is a judge of the beauty pageant, maybe some people will say something.

Wang Zijun looked at it for a while, frowning in front of the content of the qualification.

After thinking about it, he changed the second rule: the age of the participating beauties must be between 15 and 25 years old, and changed it to no age limit; Replace Article 4: "Continuously residing in Hong Kong or residing in Hong Kong for a total of two years before and after registration" to "Born in Hong Kong or residing in Hong Kong continuously for more than one year, and able to speak Chinese (Chinese or Cantonese).

In other words, as long as you have lived in Hong Kong for a year and can speak Chinese, you can sign up, whether you are an eighty-year-old lady or a black girl from Africa. (The premise is that you have a Hong Kong ID card or passport) The Hong Kong sister beauty pageant has been deeply rooted in the hearts of the people in Hong Kong now, and if Jiashi holds a beauty pageant again, it can't follow the rules, no matter how conservative it is, it must come up with a little controversial surname.

Wang Zijun later gave some suggestions to expand the influence of the "Oriental Beauty" beauty pageant, such as getting a woman in her forties and fifties who is well-maintained to participate in the competition, and then stirring up the competition through the media.

This is a gimmick hype, although it can achieve good results in the short term, but it is not the right way after all.

Wang Zijun's righteous proposal is to let Jiayi TV take the initiative to contact the Philippines and win the right to host the Hong Kong division of "Miss Asia".

As for the beauty pageant hosted by the host, it is naturally Jiashi's "Oriental Beauty" beauty pageant, and the final winner of "Oriental Beauty" can compete for the "Miss Asia" championship on behalf of the Hong Kong division.

The "Miss Asia" mentioned here is not the Miss Asia pageant held by ATV later, but the predecessor of "Miss Asia-Pacific". It will not be until next year that the headquarters of Miss Asia will be moved from the Philippines to New Zealand, and it will be officially renamed Miss Asia Pacific and join some Pacific countries.

(Later, the Asian sister selected by ATV was actually the winner of the Hong Kong division of Miss Asia-Pacific in the first few years.) Wang Zijun even suggested that if possible, it would be better to get the right to host the entire "Miss Asia" competition, not just the Hong Kong division. Two days later, Wang Zijun returned to Los Angeles again, as for Tsui Hark, who was ready to contact the special effects artist in the past, his visa would not be processed until a few days earlier, Wang Zijun was busy filming, but he didn't have time to wait for him.

In a conference room of Jiashi, several executives of the TV station were discussing a copy of Wang Zijun's hand-made reform plan.

"Director Shi, what do you think? If you follow the chairman's suggestion, if you want to get the right to host 'Sister Ya', it will not cost a little money. Liang Shuyi put the information aside and asked Shi Shaoming.

"I think it's worth the money." Shi Shaoming sighed, "The chairman is worthy of being the chairman, and the problem is different." We had been talking about it for months, and we were still in this small circle in Hong Kong. As for the chairman, his eyes have long been on beauty pageants in the entire Asian region. If we can win the right to host this year's and even next year's 'Sister Ya', then we will not only get the benefits of the beauty pageant, but also the name of Jiashi will be used to spread throughout Asia. ”

"I think Ah Ming is right, no matter how much money you spend, it's worth it." Lu Guozhan said, "I hope to go to the Philippines to talk in person, even if I can't get the right to host Sister Ya, I must win the right to host Sister Ya's Hong Kong division." ”

Sun Yubiao said: "But Sister Ya's influence is not very great, and she is famous in Southeast Asia, and Hong Kong is not its competition area at all." ”

"Manager Sun, look at the comments on the last page of the chairman." Shi Shaoming said.

Sun Yubiao was startled when he saw it, only to see Wang Zijun write with a red pen: "If possible, directly buy the copyright of Sister Asia's event, move its headquarters to Hong Kong, and actively expand the event, increase the beauty pageant area, and change Miss Asia to Miss Asia-Pacific." ”

"This ...... It's astronomical. Sun Yubiao said with a dry throat.

"Don't think Sister Ya is too important, it's just a small beauty contest in Southeast Asia." Lin Xuhua, who is now in charge of the entire TV station's materials, materials and information collection, said, "Last year, the total number of participants in Sister Asia was only a few hundred, and there were several regional countries as competition areas, which was about the same size as 'Sister Hong Kong'." I think the chairman has a crush on nothing else, but the name Miss Asia. Simply don't call our beauty contest 'Oriental Beauty', just buy 'Miss Asia'. In the future, the wireless station will choose 'Sister Hong Kong', and we will choose 'Sister Asia', Asia is always bigger than Hong Kong, and we will steadily suppress them. ”

Finally, you and I discussed for a long time, and finally Liang Shuyi made a decision: "Then it is decided, at any cost, we will go all out to acquire the copyright of Miss Asia and move the headquarters of Miss Asia to Hong Kong." Manager Lu, you personally take someone to the Philippines to do this, don't worry about the specific work. Don't do 'Oriental Beauty' this year, as long as you have 'Miss Asia' in your hand, the effect will be better next year. ”

After the meeting, Lu Guozhan immediately went to work, and the original planning book for the "Oriental Beauty" beauty pageant was also temporarily invalidated, and everything had to wait for the results of Lu Guozan's trip to the Philippines.

When Lu Guozhan went to the Philippines, Wang Zijun officially held a press conference on the launch of "Titanic" in California, USA.

The declared budget of "Titanic" is 200 million US dollars, but in fact it is only 100 million US dollars, and many other expenses are counted in the 80 million of the last "Pianist at Sea".

As soon as Wang Zijun announced the $200 million budget, regardless of whether there was water in it or not, there was an uproar in the American film industry.

Since the day American movies were born, how many years have passed, and the largest film investment has only exceeded 100 million. Wang Zijun used to say that he wanted to make a movie with an investment of 200 million, but at that time, people just thought he was joking, just talking about it, but now he is holding a start-up press conference, and everyone knows that he wants to play for real.

For a time, hundreds of newspapers and tabloids across the United States poured into Hollywood, crowding the press conference scene.

"Zachary, with a budget of $200 million, are you sure that the final box office will recoup its investment?"

"Mr. Wang, you made a bet last year that you would make a movie that grossed more than $1 billion, does the bet still exist?"

"Mr. Director, can you tell us about the specific movie?"

“……”

Before the press conference reached the free question session, those reporters couldn't wait and started interviewing one after another.
