Shao Yuming was puzzled: "Is there a difference between inviting Michael Jackson to come to Taipei for a concert and inviting him to Taiwan for tourism and exchange?" It's hard to please. ”

"It's different," Wang Zijun explained, "It costs tens of millions of dollars to invite Michael Jackson to come to Asia for a concert, which means that the various budgets for organizing the concert are combined, including large venues, top sound, lighting and bands, as well as various publicity expenses, etc., and only part of them belongs to the remuneration paid to Michael Jackson." ”

"I see." Shao Yuming nodded, but he didn't mention it again, he was going to wait for the Golden Melody Awards to be held successfully before inviting Michael Jackson to present the awards, and the effect would be much better at that time. He didn't think about whether others agreed or not, let alone money. This year, Taiwan's foreign exchange reserves rank second in the world, second only to the capital, and the authorities have money.

Shao Yuming immediately said goodbye and left, Wang Zijun personally sent him out, and as soon as he came out of the living room, he met Audrey Hepburn's mother and son who came back from shopping. Sean Hepburn is still holding Wang Shiya with one hand, and it seems that these two half-brothers and sisters are getting along very well.

"Daddy!" After Wang Shiya saw Wang Zijun, she rushed to him and hung it in his arms.

Wang Zijun was about to speak with his daughter in his arms, but saw Lin Bowen hurriedly walking over with his eldest brother in his hand and said, "Brother Jun, Gu Long is critically ill and is now being rescued in Veterans Hospital!" ”

"Prepare the car!" Wang Zijun put down his daughter, turned to Shao Yuming and said, "Brother Shao, I lost my company first." ”

Gu Long is also a first-class celebrity in Taiwan's cultural circle, and since Shao Yuming, as the director of the Information Bureau, has met him, he can't pretend not to know, he said: "Let's go together." ”

Gu Long was still working with people in the screenwriting department to help Wang Zijun write the script of "Three Heroines of the East 2" some time ago, and it didn't seem abnormal at the time, but it was only half a month later, and he was critically ill.

When Wang Zijun and Shao Yuming felt that when they were in the hospital, Gu Long was still in the operating room, and there was only Gu Long's disciple Ding Qing outside the operating room, and as for Gu Long's confidants and sons, none of them were there.

"How's it going?" Wang Zijun asked, Ding Qing is now a screenwriter in the screenwriting department of Wang's Film Company, and he almost doesn't write martial arts anymore.

Ding Qing shook his head and said, "I don't know, I was drinking with Master, and he suddenly fainted." When I was sent to the hospital, the doctor said it was cirrhosis. ”

Wang Zijun was silent, in the parallel space, Gu Long should have died two years ago, but he didn't expect to return to the old way after two years.

Ding Qing's eyes were red: "Master didn't say anything when he was sick, he still drank the wine, and the doctor said that you can't drink alcohol for this kind of disease." ”

Cirrhosis of the liver and drinking, this is purely looking for death, Wang Zijun is completely speechless about Gu Long's "chic".

After more than ten minutes, the door of the operating room finally opened, and Ding Qing rushed up and grabbed the doctor's hand and asked, "Doctor, is my master okay?" ”

The doctor smelled the smell of wine on Ding Qing's body, and said angrily: "If you drink again, the gods will not be able to save you." ”

can drink again, indicating that his life is still there, Ding Qing breathed a sigh of relief. saw the nurse pushing the sallow Gu Long out, Gu Long's eyes were deep, and compared with half a month ago, the whole person had lost a lot of weight.

After Shao Yuming was pushed out of the operating room, he said a few words and left, Wang Zijun asked Lin Bowen to send him downstairs, and he stayed in the ward.

The previous call was made by Ding Qing, who not only notified Wang Zijun, but also notified several other close friends of Gu Long. After a while, two more men and two women came, two of them were Li Feimeng and his wife, and a bald man was the famous essayist Lin Qingxuan, and the last woman was Yang Junjun.

Speaking of Yang Junjun, everyone may be relatively unfamiliar, but when it comes to Ximen without hatred and Aunt Ximen, many people must think of it. This woman is a wealthy businessman and a good friend of Gu Long, and sometimes discusses plot creation with Gu Long. Later, he funded the filming of a TV series adapted by Gu Long, and at the age of 65, he personally played the heroine, flirting with handsome students such as Liu Dekai and Jiao Enjun.

"Everybody's here." Gu Long woke up and saw a circle of people in the room, and he laughed to himself.

Looking at Gu Long's optimistic appearance that he didn't care about his life or death, everyone shook their heads. Li Feimeng scolded: "You kid don't want to die? I don't say I have this disease, I still drink all day long, and I beware that no one will know if I die at home one day! ”

"How can it be so easy to die, I haven't lived enough." Gu Long laughed.

"Yaohua, it's better to drink less wine." Lin Qingxuan said earnestly, "Xiao Ding called me first, and he said that you are dying." If you send this to the hospital slowly, you may not be able to come back today. ”

Yang Junjun echoed: "That is, drink it when you are cured from your illness, and you will quit during this time." ”

Wang Zijun asked Lin Bowen to find a mirror, put it in front of Gu Long and said, "You take a look at yourself and see what kind of ghost you have become." ”

Gu Long hadn't looked in the mirror for a long time, and when he really looked in the mirror, he saw that his chubby and round chirping brain had now become an awl, and his face had completely changed, and he was as thin as a ghost.

Gu Long was startled and said, "I just feel that my whole body has no strength during this time, and my legs are a little swollen, how can it be like this?" ”

Everyone talked with Gu Long for a while, and it was almost time for dinner, Feng Nani went to fetch a bowl of porridge to feed Gu Long, and the others went out to eat together.

After finding a restaurant and sitting down, Wang Zijun began to talk with Lin Qingxuan and Yang Junjun.

Yang Junjun is just an ordinary rich woman, plus Gu Long's super book fans, she has never had the opportunity to contact Wang Zijun and Lin Qingxuan before, so she naturally deliberately made friends at this time and rushed to have a treat.

Wang Zijun didn't have much idea of talking to Yang Junjun, but he was quite interested in Lin Qingxuan, and asked, "Is Mr. Lin still writing prose recently?" If you are interested, you can come to Wang to write a script. ”

"Forget it, I haven't touched movies for more than ten years." Lin Qingxuan waved his hand and said, he is actually from a local film class in Taiwan, and he also founded "Film Journal" before.

Yang Junjun said: "Mr. Lin's "Bodhi" series is really well written, which makes people feel shocked to read it. ”

Lin Qingxuan can only smile in return, the "Bodhi" series is the most painful prose he has written, and only he knows his personal taste.

Today's Lin Qingxuan is the best-selling author in Taiwan, and even Qiong Yao has been overpowered by him. But his prose is written with painstaking efforts, and because his heart hurts so much, the more profound the article is.

This gentleman was tired and empty a few years ago when he was tired of dealing with the competition among newspapers, but his wife had little in common with him. One year on New Year's Day, his wife suddenly left home and disappeared, so he and his son could only satisfy their hunger with instant noodles.

Lin Qingxuan felt that his home was so desolate, so he was disheartened, and after three months, he quit his well-paid job and moved into seclusion in the mountains, where he lived for two years before coming out.

It was the two years of seclusion in the mountains that made Lin Qingxuan enlightened, and the prose he wrote later was full of mystical Buddhism, which made his reputation reach unprecedented heights.

Wang Zijun is not interested in the prose written by Lin Qingxuan, but wants to partner with him to run a newspaper. Taiwan is about to lift martial law, and as soon as the newspaper ban is contacted, all kinds of newspapers of all kinds will spring up like mushrooms after a rain, and Wang Zijun will naturally not miss this opportunity.

Lin Qingxuan not only writes prose well, but also ran his own journal before, and has served as the editor, chief writer, editor-in-chief, and reporter of several newspapers and magazines, and is a very good media person.

Wang Zijun asked, "Is Mr. Lin interested in starting a newspaper?" As he spoke, Wang Zijun added, "My ideal newspaper." ”

The matter of lifting the strictness has already been hinted at in the relevant actions of the Executive Yuan in October last year, but the vast majority of people still think that even if the lifting of martial law is lifted, it will have to wait for at least four or five years.

As soon as Wang Zijun asked this, Li Feimeng, Yang Junjun and Lin Qingxuan were all smart people, and they immediately understood the meaning of Wang Zijun's words.

Li Feimeng said solemnly: "Zijun, are you saying that the ban is about to be lifted?" ”

Wang Zijun nodded and said in a low voice: "No accident, it's just the past few months." ”

Li Feimeng pointed to the ceiling and asked, "What did you listen to from above?" ”

"Guess." Wang Zijun smiled and asked Lin Qingxuan, "Mr. Lin, if the ban is lifted, what kind of newspaper do you want to run?" ”

Lin Qingxuan put down his chopsticks, thought for a while and said, "No party, no selling, no selfishness, no blindness." ”

"Haha, does Mr. Lin want to re-run Ta Kung Pao?" Wang Zijun said with a smile, the eight words that Lin Qingxuan said are the purpose of the newspaper "Ta Kung Pao".

Lin Qingxuan smiled and said: "It's okay, Zhang Jiluan is a model for my generation, and he is willing to attach himself to his tail." If you look at the "Ta Kung Pao" in Hong Kong today, the eight words "no party", "no selling", "no selfishness", and "no blindness" have been achieved, and the other three principles of "not being party, not selfish, and not blind" have never been observed, and they dare to call "Ta Kung Pao" in vain? ”

Wang Zijun said: "Then I will run a "Communiqué", how about Mr. Lin as the editor-in-chief?" ”

Lin Qingxuan was surprised: "You really want to run a newspaper?" ”

Wang Zijun nodded and said: "It will be done next year, if Mr. Lin is willing to succumb, the position of editor-in-chief of the "Communiqué" will always be reserved for you." Moreover, I will not interfere in the management of the newspaper, and you can run the newspaper as you wish. ”

"I'll think about it." Lin Qingxuan said, although he was a little moved, he still didn't agree. Many intellectuals in the opposition now have some opinions on KMT, and if Lin Qingxuan is allowed to be the editor-in-chief, he can't say that he will have to scold KMT. Lin Qingxuan thinks that Wang Zijun is a KMT Chinese and will not mess around by himself. At that time, everyone will be unhappy, so it is better not to agree now.

Wang Zijun not only wants to run a newspaper, but also wants to run his own wireless television station in Taiwan. The future dark green TV station Mintv is the fourth wireless TV station in Taiwan, and Wang Zijun is sure to compete with it for a TV license in the future.

First, Wang Zijun has abundant funds, and second, there were loopholes to follow when the People's Television was established, and those guys fooled the people of the whole island of Taiwan into raising funds to buy shares, saying that everyone had a share in the TV station that would be run in the future. But in fact, it was to let the masses become shareholders of the "All People Dentsu" company, and then to control the TV station through All People Dentsu, which deceived all the enthusiastic investors in Taiwan.

Even if the Greens were mighty at that time, Wang Zijun broke the other party's scam when he grabbed the TV to take pictures, Li Denghui had to pinch his nose and send the photos to Wang Zijun.
