Chapter 43 Holding of "Extra" Magazine
After drinking morning tea, take Shirley to the Civic Center.
"This girl does things too casually, I always have a bad feeling." Watching Shirley happily drive away, Michelle said worriedly.
"You are blind, what can you do with such a big person?" Zhang Shaoping said disapprovingly.
"How can I not worry, her heart is too simple, thinking about the romance of Prince Charming all day long, it is easy to be deceived by feelings."
Zhang Shaoping hooked her fragrant shoulders and said with a smile: "According to what you say, there is really a sister who must have a sister!" We're romantic enough, aren't we? ”
"Seriously, people are worried." Mi Xue frowned and said worriedly: "Many people in the circle said that she met the famous and affectionate Xu Shaoqiang when she was filming "Raising Ghosts" in the first half of the year, and she even flew Ah Rong for this surname Xu. I'm afraid that she won't know what to do, so she will move in with Xu Shaoqiang. ”
"Who is Ah Rong? If you fly, you fly. I think Xu Shaoqiang is also quite good, unruly and very surnamed. This kind of man, you say that he is romantic, I believe it, but to say that he is lucky is probably a bit exaggerated. Zhang Shaoping analyzed.
Mi Xue frowned and asked, "You packed the ticket for him?" My sister has an accident, are you responsible? ”
"Uh...... I'm talking about the whole, the ...... There are exceptions to this rule. Zhang Shaoping sneered. He can't wait to slap himself, damn it, it's a cheap mouth! Guaranteeing everything is good, but there is no guarantee that men will not abandon from the beginning.
Mi Xuemei glared at him fiercely, and snorted: "I work at Qianli's TV station with that Xu Shaoqiang, what is his surname, don't I know better than you?" Ah Rong, that is, Zhang Yurong, what a good person, I introduced them to him. Hui Ming flew Ah Rong, she has eyes...... Hum! Hum! After all, she couldn't say it well, so she snorted coldly and revealed it twice.
"What?! Zhang Yurong? When Zhang Shaoping heard this, he was not calm, and said very unceremoniously: "In this way, your sister is really blind and doesn't know what to do!" Ah Rong, I understand, compared with me, they are all peerless good men! ”
Mi Xue glanced at him, and said angrily: "Stick gold on your face, you have a big radish, Ah Rong is a dedicated and innocent man, can you compare with others?" But-" She changed her words, her wonderful eyes fell on Zhang Shaoping's face, and said: "Since you also think Ah Rong is very good, I will give you a difficult task to find a way to get him back together with my sister!" ”
It's a daunting task! Zhang Shaoping heard the corners of his mouth cramping, and snorted: "This...... Ah Rong is very good, but the twisted melon is not sweet, that ...... Xu Shaoqiang can also consider it. ”
"What to consider? Men are not hateful, and the most unacceptable thing is that Bo Xing is ruthless! No one in the circle has heard that Xu Shaoqiang changes women more frequently than he changes clothes, and it varies from month to month and year to year. Michelle said like a machine gun, "Besides, he has a wife and children." ”
Bo Xing's ruthlessness is a big problem, but as for his wife and children, it is not a problem at all! At least Zhang Shaoping thinks so, he slanders in his heart: In this era, there are more male and female stars who have extramarital affairs and are third parties, and there are more protagonists than many Rausch Zimen in later generations, and the current Lin Qingxia, Zhao Yazhi, Wang Mingquan, and Li Zi, Li Jiaxin, Guan Zhilin, are all goddess-level.
It is no wonder that Zhang Shaoping has this kind of thinking, and the concept of Hong Kong in this era is completely opposite to the concept he is familiar with. People like Huang Zhan and Ni Hao, if they were in the later generations, I am afraid they would have been sprayed to death, but in this era, they are famous and talented, and no matter how out of the ordinary they do, as long as they are crowned with the word "talent", it is understandable.
Sometimes, Zhang Shaoping really doesn't understand, saying that the Hong Kong people at this time are conservative, and there are really conservative enough, generally until the time of marriage, most of the female surnames will not spend the night at the man's house, which can be described as a jade. Say that they are open, they are really open enough, marriage, divorce, extramarital affairs, and scandals are as simple as drinking water and eating.
Therefore, Zhang Shaoping came to a conclusion, that is, it is difficult to derail, and it is easy for the soul to derail, but when the soul derails to a certain stage, it is logical to derail.
"If you agree, I'll leave the matter to you." Mi Xue knew that Zhang Shaoping was already out of the world at this time, and various thoughts flashed through his mind, and when he saw that he was silent, he agreed to it.
Awakened by the beautiful woman's words, Zhang Shaoping could only swallow the bitter fruit, and said helplessly: "Okay, I'll try my best." ”
"Not as much as possible, but as necessary!"
"Dragon girl, you have to be reasonable, even if I convince Ah Rong, you have to nod your baby sister!" Zhang Shaoping spread his hands, saying that there was nothing he could do in this situation.
"Eighth sister listens to me the most, and I will mess with her." Michelle said with confidence.
"I hope so." Zhang Shaoping said weakly.
Zhang Shaoping is quite optimistic about this, if she really listens to you the most, she will not break up with Zhang Yurong, you don't know. She said that her big brother lost his mobile phone, and when a discerning person heard it, he knew that this was purely fooling you.
promised Mi Xue about it, of course Zhang Shaoping would do it seriously, but when he was about to go to Zhang Yurong, Chen Guanzhong of "Outside" magazine came to the door first.
At the Zongheng Investment Company settled in Central, Zhang Shaoping was receiving visiting Chen Guanzhong in his office.
Zhang Shaoping invited Chen Guanzhong to sit down, then poured him a cup of tea, asked for a moment, and said: "Chen Sheng, the place is simple, and the hospitality is not good, please bear with me!" ”
Chen Guanzhong laughed and said: "Zhang Sheng is modest, if you can occupy a position here in Central, even if it is a small corner, for me, your plucking hair is thicker than my thighs." ”
Zhang Shaoping said with a smile: "Hehehe, Chen Sheng, you are ready to win first and then kill!" ”
"Plucking the sheep, of course, you have to serve the fat sheep well, so you can start." Chen Guanzhong's face did not change his color.
Zhang Shaoping said: "Chen Sheng, you are quite straightforward. ”
"I'm a very good person, Zhang Sheng is a cheerful person, so I'll say refreshing things. To put it bluntly, Zhang Sheng should like it more. ”
This person is interesting, without the disadvantages of cultural and humanistic crepe, but has the boldness of reckless rivers and lakes.
Zhang Shaoping said with a straight face: "Chen Sheng, since you have said so, you might as well speak more thoroughly, Zhang Mou listened attentively." ”
Speaking of business, Chen Guanzhong was unequivocal and said: "Zhang Sheng, I need to borrow your fame for the popular clothing of the Han and Tang Dynasties, and you need to borrow our influence among the rich and famous." The cooperation between the two of us is a match made in heaven, each taking what he needs, am I right? ”
Zhang Shaoping nodded and said, "That's right." ”
Chen Guanzhong suddenly changed his words and asked seriously: "That Zhang Sheng doesn't have any other ideas except for wanting to introduce it on a special page in the magazine "Outside the Number"? ”
Zhang Shaoping was sure in his heart and knew what he meant, but he still asked, "For example?" ”
Chen Guanzhong said: "For example, invest money in the magazine "Outside" and make it bigger. As long as I have enough money, I am confident that it will be fashioned as a fashion magazine aimed primarily at middle- and upper-class 'yuppies'. ”
Zhang Shaoping smiled indifferently and said, "In this way, won't the huge influence of "Outside" magazine in the cultural world gradually lose? I value its influence on celebrities, not its profitability. Without influence, there is no attraction for me, you don't know that, right? ”
"However, the magazine cannot survive just by relying on the attention of cultural celebrities. Otherwise, I wouldn't be begging people everywhere just to earn some advertising money. Chen Guanzhong smiled bitterly.
Zhang Shaoping thought for a while and said: "You see if this will work, the magazine "Outside" will do it correctly, and I will continue to inject funds." ”
Chen Guanzhong rolled his eyes and said bluntly: "Zhang Sheng, I don't run this magazine to be popular or not to sell. What is the use of having a good reputation? It's a loss-making business. You have to think, I'll transfer it to you, I'll take the money, and I'll start a magazine for 'yuppies.'" Do you think this will work? ”
Without you, I want this magazine to be a fart! With your fame, you can use it as a magnet and wrap up a group of celebrities, which is the value of "Extra" magazine. Zhang Shaoping vetoed Chen Guanzhong's proposal without thinking about it.
In order to keep Chen Guanzhong, Zhang Shaoping racked his brains to think of a way to get the best of both worlds, and suddenly he "snapped" and slapped the coffee table heavily, scolding himself for being confused. But when he came so suddenly, Chen Guanzhong was taken aback, and he thought he was angry.
Chen Guanzhong tightened his face and said, "Zhang Sheng, even if you don't agree with my proposal, you don't need to be angry, right?" ”
Zhang Shaoping also found that he had lost his temper, and hurriedly smiled: "It's rude!" What a faux pas just now! I am not dissatisfied with Chen Sheng, but blame myself for being confused and getting into the horns. Since Chen Shengzhi is aiming to make a big magazine business, why not just start it from the beginning? ”
Seeing that it was a misunderstanding, Chen Guanzhong also breathed a sigh of relief and asked, "How do you say this?" ”
"That's what I thought, the 'Extra' magazine can be kept, and I'll inject additional money into you to open a fashion magazine for 'yuppies'. In addition, I would like to establish a magazine dedicated to women and men, as well as professional film and television magazines. I'll leave it all to you to take care of, what do you think? ”
Zhang Shaoping finished speaking in one breath, and then looked at Chen Guanzhong with expectation.
Regarding Zhang Shaoping's astonishing words, Chen Guanzhong not only lamented his madness, but also lamented his ignorance. In the face of such a fanatical layman, Chen Guanzhong raised his words and said euphemistically: "Zhang Sheng's ambition is admirable, but Rome was not built in a day, and it takes time and talents for a magazine to successfully open the market." Before the market opened, it was very money-burning. ”
Zhang Shaoping said with a smile: "Thousands of high-rise buildings are flat from the ground, we can build a shelf first, step by step, slowly pile up, and operate for many years, so we can naturally open the way." As for features and the like, it's very easy to do, the United States has "Playboy", we can also make a Hong Kong version, and it doesn't have to be as explicit as it, just a little bit acceptable to the Chinese. In a word, we learn from foreign countries and then localize them. ”
Chen Guanzhong was quite moved when he heard this, and said, "You don't mess around with magazine things?" ”
Zhang Shaoping said: "I will be the president, and you will be the general manager or CEO." However, I said ugly things in the front, because I believe in you, I will inject money, you say it well, very set, but if two years later, your magazine is still not improving, I can ask another smart. ”
"Of course!" Chen Guanzhong replied.
