Tina. Who is Brown?

If it is a person in the media industry in the future, when it comes to her, it is naturally familiar, and everyone gives a thumbs up and looks up to this legend in the media industry, Taishan Beidou.

But Zhang Shaoping really has no impression of her, she is too unfamiliar, so strange that she can only humbly ask Shi Yangde, what dazzling achievements does this female editor have, and her reputation can travel across the ocean to Hong Kong, the "Pearl of the Orient".

To be honest, Tina at this time. Brown is not the "queen of magazines" who has repeatedly given orders to bring magazines back to life, and she has only one achievement at present, that is, she has single-handedly revitalized the almost defunct magazine "Gossip", and then packaged and sold it to Comte, the largest media group in the United States. Nast.

"Idle Talk" is a 300-year-old British magazine whose audience is mainly aristocratic celebrities. At the time, Tina. Brown was still studying at Oxford University, and with the halo of the Times's "Most Promising Female Journalist" on his head, the minds of "Gossip" magazine felt that they were almost out of business anyway, so they simply invited Tina. Brown is the editor-in-chief, and if he makes a gimmick, maybe he can sell a few more copies.

Tina. Brown did not disappoint, and soon the sales of "Idle Talk" rose from more than 2,000 copies per issue, and it didn't take long to break the 10,000 mark. At the age of '79, Tina was only 26 years old. Brown became the editor-in-chief of Chatter magazine and then became reformer. In 81, Diana, a commoner woman, married Crown Prince Charles, and she immediately grabbed the audience's gossip and concocted "The Story of Cinderella", and the magazine's sales suddenly quadrupled. It wasn't until last year that the impressive results of "Chatter" magazine became more and more noticeable, and finally it was favored by Naster.

Bringing a magazine back to life on the verge of collapse is a great job, but this Tina. After all, Brown has only been the editor-in-chief of one magazine, and whether he can manage several magazines, Zhang Shaoping has a question mark about this.

Shi Yangde saw Zhang Shaoping's hesitation and said with a smile: "Zhang Sheng, the British media market is quite mature and the competition is very fierce, but it is not as small as our Hong Kong. But when it comes to making magazines, there are no more than 10 people in Hong Kong who dare to say that they are knowledgeable. It's not that I'm boasting, I can definitely have a place among these 10 people. ”

Zhang Shaoping finally made a decision and said to Shi Yangde: "Mr. Shi, my magazine company still lacks a planning consultant, are you willing to condescend?" ”

"Why not? I work in the media and publishing to make money, and I work for Zhang Sheng to make money, and I end up relaxed. ”

Sign the contract with an annual salary of HK$1 million, and the contract will be prepared by a lawyer. Shi Yangde is still quite satisfied, although he doesn't earn as much as being a boss, but it is better to be idle, and there is no need to work hard. In addition to making money, he also has a hobby that is to play, find fun in life, and play tricks, so he is willing to make all kinds of attempts.

The two agreed on a time to go to London, and then got up to leave.

After walking a few steps, he suddenly saw a friend who had just known him for a short time, and Zhang Shaoping suddenly stopped.

"You go first, I saw an acquaintance, go over and say hello first."

"Oh, then I'll go first." It's not strange to meet an acquaintance, Shi Yangde said something, and then said goodbye and left.

The acquaintance Zhang Shaoping saw was named Li Mingkui, the superintendent of the Public Relations Bureau of the Hong Kong Police. This person's wife, Xu Yanfen, is also a superintendent, because she is familiar with Bao Yongqin, and on the night of Christmas Eve last year, when Zhang Shaoping and Chen Chaowu clashed, Bao Yongqin was looking for her. And Zeng Weixiong happened to be patrolling nearby, so he was called to the rescue by the way.

has this relationship, and after coming and going, Zhang Shaoping became familiar with Li Mingkui and Zeng Weixiong.

"Hi, Brother Kui!"

"Hey, Ah Ping, it's you, what a coincidence!"

Li Mingkui was talking with someone, and suddenly saw Zhang Shaoping coming to say hello, and hurriedly got up and shook hands with him.

"Who is this?"

Glancing at the man who stood up with a smile, Zhang Shaoping asked.

"Oh, he's Chief Superintendent Xu Qi'an."

"Mr. Zhang Shaoping, hello! Aquet didn't mention your name. Xu Qi'an said with a smile.

After introduction, Zhang Shaoping learned that this person was related to Li Mingkui, and Xu Yanfen was Xu Qi'an's cousin.

After talking for a while, Zhang Shaoping gave Xu Qi'an a business card, which can be regarded as an acquaintance, and he will make an appointment to come out in the future, and everyone will play golf, run, swim, and run often, and this friendship will naturally deepen.

．．．．．．

．．．．．．

“．．．．．． The desert is vast (the cold wind blows, the sky is blue), which is afraid of snow and frost (the vines and trees are connected), and the eagle leads the bow to gallop outside the plug (fierce wind and sand, the wilderness) ......"

Before entering the door of the living room, Zhang Shaoping heard bursts of singing from male and female chorus.

"This is the lyrics of "Iron Blood Pill Heart", hey, "The Legend of the Condor Heroes" is on the air?"

"It premiered the day before yesterday, and it's pretty good." Zhou Huimin said without raising his head.

"Ah Ping, you're back." But Zhou's mother stood up and said with a smile, "You sit down first, I'll go and heat up the meal for you." ”

"Aunt Zhou, don't be busy, I've eaten outside." Zhang Shaoping hurriedly said with a smile.

"Then have a bowl of soup, I stewed your favorite old turkey soup."

Taking advantage of Zhou's mother to stew soup, Zhang Shaoping watched the TV series with relish.

In this era, Zhang Shaoping generally doesn't watch movies and TV series much, because he feels that the pictures of these films and television are too rough and uncomfortable to look at. But he is not very picky about the 1983 version of "The Legend of the Condor Heroes", it is very simple, because the first Hong Kong and Taiwan TV series he watched that year was this "The Legend of the Condor Heroes".

There's a complex here!

Soon, an episode of the TV series was broadcast, and several people couldn't get enough of it.

"It's over again, what about Huang Rong, why hasn't Huang Rong come out yet?" Zhang Mengying waved her little hand and muttered dissatisfiedly.

"Little girl is shouting, do you know who Huang Rong is?" Zhang Shaoping rubbed his little sister's head and asked with a smile.

"I know, Huang Rong is as good and beautiful as Sister Ling." Zhang Mengying blinked and said, "Doesn't the fat brother just call Sister Ling pretty Huang Rong?" ”

Zhang Shaoping was dumbfounded, Wang Jing jokingly called Mi Xue's title, but let this girl remember.

"Hey, I also want to see it, this Huang Rong was selected by the sea, but I don't know if the performance is good." Zhou's mother took the bowl of soup in Zhang Shaoping's hand and said.

From September 27 to October 30 last year, Hong Kong TVB held an audition for "Ideal Huang Rong" in order to build momentum for the upcoming TV series "The Legend of the Condor Heroes". It is rumored that more than 3,000 actors signed up for the election, and after a few rounds, 60 people were selected to be shortlisted for the audition, and Weng Meiling, who was filming "Thirteen Sisters" at the time, was also among the auditions. This audition was in an uproar, and it was not until November 12 that Wireless held the "Ideal Huang Rong Announcement Meeting" to determine that Weng Meiling, who had just filmed a film, would play Huang Rong.

This is a grand event in the television industry, and it is rumored that there is a small episode, that is, when Kim Yong Kim went to the wireless to inspect the selection of actors, Weng Meiling was ingenious, put on an ancient costume and held a willow branch in her hand, turned it sideways in front of him and said: "The daughter of the owner of Peach Blossom Island meets Kim Daxia." ”

It's a pity that Zhang Shaoping was busy speculating in foreign exchange at the time, and he didn't have time to pay attention to this sensational event in Hong Kong.

Whether Weng Meiling is the best pretty Huang Rong or not, this is a matter of opinion.

Before filming started, TVB began to build momentum for the audition of Huang Rong, and one out of 3,000 people was selected, which can be described as one in a million, and it is definitely the best. Secondly, Michelle's version of "The Legend of the Condor Heroes" has never appeared since the collapse of Jiashi, and the Weng version has become the first "Legend of the Condor Heroes" TV series to circulate in the world. And Weng Meiling's ingenious move won the affirmation of Kim Yong Yong, which also stole the limelight from future generations.

Many people in later generations disagreed with Weng Meiling, but they did not deny it from these points.

But Zhang Shaoping thinks that it is precisely these points of Weng Meiling that prove that Weng Meiling is really too similar to Huang Rong, the same smart and clever, the same delicate and lively, and even the surname seems to be full.

This drama was broadcast and filmed at the same time, and before Huang Rong came out, there were constant doubts about Weng Meiling. As Zhou's mother said, I don't know if the acting is good or not.

．．．．．．

．．．．．．

"Are you still used to living in the capital?"

Michelle complained on the other end of the phone: "The south is starting to get warmer, and it's still snowing here, it's really cold." ”

"Hehehe, study, it's over."

"It's easy to say." Mi Xue suddenly whispered, "What kind of Marxism-Leninism do you learn when you study in Beiying, it's really hell!" I get a headache just looking at it. ”

Zhang Shaoping felt amused when he thought of Mi Xue's depressed appearance with a pretty face and a slurred reciting a Marxist-Leninist course. He forced a smile and said, "It seems that foreign students don't need to learn this, right?" ”

"Really?" Michelle asked in surprise.

"Well, I heard that's the case."

The two of them got tired of it for a while, and then hung up the phone.

It's a real international call.

At this time, Zhang Shaoping was in London.

In order to show his sincerity, Zhang Shaoping asked Hu Mufang to buy a ticket the next day and flew directly to London with Shi Yangde.

Hu Mufang is Zhang Shaoping's newly recruited assistant secretary, and he was introduced by Guan Xiaoxiao. This woman studied business management and is a practicing lawyer, Zhang Shaoping is more hands-on than Guan Xiaoxiao.

"Mr. Zhang, Miss Brown is here." As soon as Zhang Shaoping put down the phone, he saw Hu Mufang hurriedly walking and talking.

When Zhang Shaoping heard this, he hurried over to see her.

saw that there was a blonde beauty in the seat, and Shi Yangde was talking and laughing with her. She should be Tina. Brown, Zhang Shaoping walked over quickly and apologized.

After sitting down, Tina. Brown said straight to the point: "Mr. Zhang, Mr. Shi has told me your intentions, but I am very happy to be the editor-in-chief of "Chatter", and Mr. Newhouse also values me, and I have no intention of quitting this job for the time being." ”

Zhang Shaoping's half-hung English level, I don't understand Tina very well. Whatever Brown said, Hu Mufang acted as an interpreter and said it again.

After listening to the translation, Zhang Shaoping said: "Miss Brown, Mr. Newhouse owns the Nast Media Group, which is full of talents, and a "Chat" magazine is just an insignificant pawn in his huge media empire, and it is difficult for you to be reused under him. And my magazine company is in the initial stage, just need to borrow your talents, if you come to my company, you can give full play to your ability to create a world-famous top magazine according to your genius ideas! These are things that the authoritarian Mr. Newhouse can't give you at all. ”

Hu Mufang translated Zhang Shaoping's words to Tina locally. Brown listened, and when she heard it, she was greatly moved, and these words hit her directly in the underbelly. She has never been a quiet person, and if she sticks to the magazine "Idle Talk" for a long time, it feels terrible to think about it. Of course, she would not have imagined that in another time and space, Neuhouse would ask her to be the editor-in-chief of "Vanity Fair" half a year later, and recreate the reputation of "bringing the dead back to life".

"Mr. Zhang, I have to admit that what you said moved my heart." Half a day, Tina. "So, how much are you going to pay me?" ”

Zhang Shaoping smiled and said: "With an annual salary of 450,000 US dollars, if the magazine does well, dividends, bonuses and the like will naturally not be lacking." But, Miss Brown, tell me, how are you going to make a magazine? ”

Tina. Brown's answer is simple: "Celebrity effect, compelling reporting, and news sensitivity equals a successful magazine, and of course it brings you a lot of money." ”

It's a short answer, but it's also incisive, but it's one thing to say it, and another thing to do it.
