Chapter 1033: A wave of unsettled waves rises again and again
In Hong Kong on this day, the accidental death of Teresa Teng occupied the front page of almost all newspapers.
A generation of singers has fallen, even if they are not Teresa Teng's fans, they can't help but sigh when they hear the news.
For a whole day, almost everyone was discussing the topic related to the matter, and Ming Pao's postponement of the current issue of the newspaper did not attract much attention.
Only those regular readers of Ming Pao will be a little puzzled in the morning because they didn't get today's paper.
Xiao Mingcheng, who works in a foreign trade company, belongs to the kind of people who are wondering.
Xiao Mingcheng, who has received higher education and studied abroad, has always been a loyal reader of Ming Pao, and it has become an indispensable habit in his career to buy a copy of Ming Pao every day at work and read some of the columns on it in his spare time.
Xiao Mingcheng felt as if something was missing all day today, and worked overtime until eight o'clock in the evening, and when he was waiting for the bus at the bus stop, he also deliberately went to a nearby newsstand, preparing to buy today's "Ming Pao" and go home to read it slowly.
"Sir, I'm sorry, you're late, today's "Ming Pao" has been sold out."
"Sold out?" Xiao Mingcheng looked at the newsstand owner with a surprised face, although "Ming Pao" has the highest sales among all newspapers in Hong Kong, it has not been sought-after to such a point in his impression, and it is really strange today.
"Okay, I'll go elsewhere and see if there's anything else."
Xiao Mingcheng turned around to leave, but the newsstand owner stopped him from behind.
"Sir, I advise you not to waste your time. Today all the newsstands in Hong Kong. It is estimated that there will be no rest of Ming Pao. ”
Xiao Mingcheng stopped. Turning his head to look curiously at the newsstand owner.
"What, is it because there aren't enough newspapers printed today?"
"The newspaper is still the same number as usual, but there are a lot of people who buy this issue, so I don't think you can buy it." The newsstand owner shrugged and told Xiao Mingcheng such an answer.
Xiao Mingcheng looked at the newsstand owner very puzzled, "I buy "Ming Pao" every day, and this newspaper is not as popular as you say. ”
Seeing that no one came to sell newspapers at this time, the newsstand owner leaned in front of the window and chatted with Xiao Mingcheng.
"It's not all Teresa Teng's death."
Listened to this. Xiao Mingcheng became more and more confused.
About Teresa Teng is all over the newspapers today, what does it have to do with the fact that "Ming Pao" is sold out?
"It's all fake news, Teresa Teng is not dead at all!"
The words of the newsstand boss made Xiao Mingcheng stand on the spot.
"This ...... This is fake news, but newspapers all over Hong Kong reported on the incident, saying that she suddenly fell ill in Thailand and passed away after rescue efforts failed! ”
Regarding Xiao Mingcheng's reaction, the newsstand owner was not surprised at all.
"Otherwise, Ming Pao is so popular today because it published a report that specifically clarified this matter. It's also because you're late, if it's half an hour early. I still have a dozen copies left here that haven't been sold, but in just over half an hour, all the newspapers have been bought. ”
Hearing what the newsstand owner said, Xiao Mingcheng had no choice but to admit that he was unlucky, if he hadn't worked overtime today, he wouldn't have been able to buy even a newspaper in the last place.
Although there are some regrets in his heart, Xiao Mingcheng is more curious that all newspapers in Hong Kong think Teresa Teng is dead, how did "Ming Pao" find out about this matter?
"The newspaper said that there was a reporter from Ming Pao who happened to be on vacation in Chiang Mai, and the newspaper contacted him directly and asked him to verify the news in person...... Although some people believe both of these theories now, I think that with the principle of Ming Pao, it should not be indiscriminate in the absence of real evidence. ”
Xiao Mingcheng has no opinion on this, it is true that among all the newspapers in Hong Kong, the position of "Ming Pao" should be regarded as the most rigorous, the advantage of this is that it will not make mistakes, but the disadvantage is that in many hot news, the response will lag behind competitors.
Today's publication of such news in Ming Pao can be said to be a resounding slap in the face to other newspapers, and I wonder how many newspapers' editors-in-chief will resign after tonight.
Thinking about this, Xiao Mingcheng naturally gave up the idea of buying newspapers from other houses, as the newsstand owner said before, it is estimated that there will really not be any more "Ming Pao" left tonight.
——
Bangkok, Thailand, the hotel where the crew of "The Hangover 2" stayed.
Huang Zhan, who had just returned from a plane trip to Hong Kong, knocked on the door of Cai's room with a newspaper, and said as soon as they met: "The Hong Kong newspaper has really been miserably pitted by the Thai media this time." ”
Cai Yan let Huang Zhan into the house, poured him tea and asked, "Did I miss something interesting?" ”
During the crew's vacation, Cai Yan did not return to Hong Kong, but went to Singapore, and returned to the crew one day earlier than Huang Zhan.
"The editors-in-chief of more than 20 newspapers have resigned en masse, is this a big buzz?"
Huang Zhan took the teacup handed over by Cai Yan, put it aside casually, and told the truth of the matter with great interest, and said the most eloquently: "If it weren't for a reporter from "Ming Pao" in Chiang Mai this time, he found out the truth in time and clarified it, and the Hong Kong media would have really lost their face!" ”
Cai Yan nodded, "Many people criticized the conservative style of "Ming Pao" before, and it should be able to stop for a while after this time." ”
"By the way, is Mr. Lin back?"
"He's back, he's a day ahead of me."
"With two beauties by my side, I thought he would be the last one to come back, but I didn't expect it,......" Huang Zhan smacked his lips, "It seems that the blessings of Qi people are not so enjoyable." ”
"Miss Zhou and Miss Wang should have had enough, and both of them have already gone back." Cai Yan responded casually.
"You wait!" A thought suddenly flashed in Huang Zhan's mind, and then he asked, "Do you know where Mr. Daolin has been these days?" ”
Regarding discussing other people's private affairs in private, Cai Yan was not as keen as Huang Zhan, and he couldn't help frowning when he heard this.
"There are so many attractions in Thailand, how do I know where Mr. Lu Daolin has gone? Besides, why are you asking about this? ”
"Don't get me wrong, I don't mean anything else, I just suddenly thought of a question, did you say that Teresa Teng's incident would have something to do with Mr. Lin? Otherwise, Ming Pao's response this time would have been too fast, and I always felt that if it was just an ordinary reporter on vacation there, he would not have been able to dig out such deep inside information, at least not so quickly. ”
As soon as Huang Zhan said this, Cai Yan also realized that something was wrong with this.
"If this matter is related to Mr. Lin, your suspicions can be explained, but you said that the probability of this possibility is too low, right? It just so happened that Mr. Lin was in Chiang Mai, and Teresa Teng had an accident, how could there be such a coincidence in the world. ”
"So, that's what I said, what the specific truth is, probably only the person concerned knows."
Huang Zhan pursed his lips, and was just about to end the discussion of this topic when the phone in Cai Yan's room suddenly rang.
Cai Yan motioned to Huang Zhan to wait with his eyes, and walked over to pick up the phone.
"Oh, it's Miss Lin, do you have something to do with me?"
"Mr. Cai, are you with Mr. Huang?"
Lin Zhiling's unique sweet and glutinous voice came from the other end of the phone, and it should be a pleasure to listen to her under normal circumstances, but at this time, Cai Yan was frowning, he glanced at Huang Zhan, and he didn't know how to answer.
Cai Yan hesitated like this, and Lin Zhiling on the phone seemed to feel his embarrassment, and then explained: "Here's the thing, Mr. Lin has to return to Hong Kong to deal with some things, and the filming behind "The Hangover 2" may have to be delayed for a few days before it can continue, because it happened suddenly, Mr. Lin specially asked me to call the two of you to explain before I got on the plane, but no one answered the phone I dialed Mr. Huang's room just now, so I just wanted to ask if he was here with you." ”
Because of the hesitation just now, Cai Zhan was a little embarrassed to admit that Huang Zhan was in his room, so he lied, claiming that he didn't know where Huang Zhan was, but then he also said that when Huang Zhan came back, he would be responsible for telling him on his behalf.
