Chapter 369: What Happened to the Door [Second Update]
Chen Huiqing pushed open the study door and walked in.
"Aaron, there's a guest at home......"
"Looking for me?" Lin Youlun raised the remote control to turn off the TV and turned his head to look at his mother.
"Yes, he said that he is the editor-in-chief of Ming Pao Weekly, and I don't know if Lu Dao is true." Chen Huiqing asked the nanny Wu Ma to accompany the visitors in the downstairs living room, and she went upstairs to call Lin Youlun herself.
"It's good, I know it." Lin Youlun stood up, a trace of doubt flashing in his eyes.
Ming Pao Weekly is a magazine under the Ming Pao Group, which has been published for 20 years and has published more than 1,000 issues, and is one of the oldest and most authoritative comprehensive entertainment magazines in Hong Kong.
In terms of reporting techniques, Ming Pao Weekly adopts a moderate route and does not attract attention with sensational gossip news, so it has always had a good relationship with the Hong Kong entertainment industry, and the advertisements published in the magazine are also very tasteful, never taking that vulgar route, so it is also very credible in the eyes of readers.
The editor-in-chief of "Ming Pao Weekly" is called Hu Xinzhe, and he is also an old man left behind in the Jin Yong era, judging from the sales performance of "Ming Zhou" in the past year, this person is indeed very capable.
Hu Xinzhe is about thirty-five or sixteen years old, his sideburns are slightly bald, his eyebrows are thick and neat, and his eyes are sparkling. When he looks at people, he pays great attention; When he smiled, he showed a mouthful of neat and slightly white teeth, and when he saw Lin Youlun coming down from upstairs, he immediately stood up from the sofa to show respect.
After shaking hands, Lin Youlun sat down on the sofa opposite Hu Xinzhe and saw that Hu Xinzhe was still standing. He raised his hand and motioned for him to sit down.
Mother Wu brought two cups of hot tea. Lin Youlun picked up a cup. I brought it to my mouth and blew it gently.
"Is there anything wrong with Shinzhe coming to me?"
Hu Xinzhe took out a sample issue of a magazine from his briefcase, held it in both hands and handed it to Lin Youlun: "This is the 1022nd issue of the magazine sample to be published the day after tomorrow, I would like to ask Mr. Lin to take a look at it to see if there is anything wrong." ”
As the chairman of the board of directors of the Ming Pao Group, Lin Youlun rarely interferes in the day-to-day editorial affairs of newspapers and magazines, and Ming Pao only sends him samples for review before publishing news with major social impacts, while he basically never takes the initiative to ask questions about entertainment magazines such as Ming Zhou. Hu Xinzhe came to the door today, which made Lin Youlun feel very surprised.
Taking the sample issue handed over by Hu Xinzhe, Lin Youlun glanced at the cover very casually, and then was slightly stunned.
The cover photo of this issue of "Ming Pao Weekly" is a group photo, and the four women on it were seen by Lin Youlun on TV a few minutes ago.
"How did you come up with the idea of using the four of them on the cover?" Lin Youlun put down the magazine and raised his eyes to look at Hu Xinzhe.
Someone once said that the Hong Kong entertainment industry is a lot of rivers and lakes, which can be seen from the change of the cover of "Ming Pao Weekly". Since the inception of "Ming Zhou", there have been countless characters on the cover. These people basically represent one of the most prosperous eras of Hong Kong's entertainment industry.
Being able to appear on the cover of "Ming Zhou" is enough to show this person's status in the Hong Kong entertainment industry.
The cover of this issue is a group photo of Lin Qingxia, Wang Guxian, Zhou Comin and Guan Zhilin together. Lin Youlun could see at a glance that the clothes they were wearing were exactly the same as those on the "Entertainment Star Weekly" program, or that this photo was taken when they were doing the show.
"Entertainment Star Weekly" has always used recording and broadcasting, so it is not difficult for "Ming Zhou" to get the photos in advance, if it is just because of this, Hu Xinzhe does not need to make such a trip in person.
"This photo is provided by Miss Zhou Comin, on the one hand, because the movie "Smiling Proud Jianghu: The East is Undefeated" has attracted more attention recently, and there is a related report in this issue of the magazine, on the other hand, these four people in the photo can be called Xiangjiang stunning, and a single one can be the cover of the magazine, and the next time they take a group photo, I don't know when the road will be, so this group photo is particularly precious, and it will be very commemorative to use as the cover of this issue."
Hu Xinzhe explained the reason for using this photo as the cover, Lin Youlun nodded after listening, took a sip of the teacup, and suddenly realized that Hu Xinzhe seemed to have something to say after putting it down.
"Xinzhe, you're here today to explain this to me?"
Hu Xinzhe hesitated, "Actually, I have one thing I want to discuss with Mr. Lin......
"Oh?" Lin Youlun immediately showed a look of interest, "What's the matter?" ”
"This time, when I saw the photos of Lin Qingxia, Wang Guxian, Zhou Comin, and Guan Zhilin, I had an idea, whether I could use the platform of "Ming Zhou" magazine to make an annual list of the most beautiful women in Hong Kong."
Hu Xinzhe said that he was inspired by the group photo of Lin Qingxia, Wang Guxian, Zhou Comin, and Guan Zhilin, but in fact, it was a party half a month ago that prompted him to have this idea. At that time, Hu Xinzhe was chatting with a group of friends, and the topic began to revolve around this year's Hong Kong Film Awards, but later on, he mentioned the magazine "Film Fortnightly".
A friend said on the spot, Hu Xinzhe, don't look at you doing so well with "Ming Pao Weekly" now, but in fact, in Mr. Lin's eyes, the weight is estimated to be less than "Film Biweekly", although the circulation of "Ming Zhou" is several times that of "Film Biweekly", but because of the Academy Awards, the influence of "Ming Zhou" is actually far less than that of "Film Biweekly".
Hu Xinzhe didn't think much of this at first, in his opinion, "Film Fortnightly" just took the lead in organizing the first Academy Awards and occupied the name of the organizer, but in fact it did not contribute much to the Academy Awards. The Academy Awards are really valued by everyone, and it has only started after Lin Youlun took over the hosting qualification in the name of "Ming Pao", and "Film Fortnightly" now says that it is the organizer of the Academy Awards, but in fact it is just a vassal of the Academy Awards.
In his thirties, he was able to be the editor-in-chief of "Ming Zhou", Hu Xinzhe is still a little conceited, the more others question, the more he wants to do something to prove the other party wrong, which leads to the idea of making an annual beauty list, and Lin Qingxia, Wang Guxian, Zhou Comin, and Guan Zhilin are just a reason for him to mention this matter to Lin Youlun.
This matter is simple to say, it's just a beauty list, and the editorial department can come up with it after a meeting to discuss it, and whether it can be recognized by the public after the ranking is announced at that time is a big question.
With the appeal of "Ming Zhou", it is still difficult to do this, but if you can get Lin Youlun's support, things will be much easier. (To be continued.) )
