"When freedom is unlimited, the uncrowned king will be the greatest accomplice to violence." ——Wen Wei Po

On the U day, a thunderstorm swept through Hong Kong. In the past two years, New Asia Film Company, which has become the center of the topic in Hong Kong, is worthy of its title as the center of the topic. As Chen Baiqiang, the king of the music world who is obviously behind New Asia Film Company, held a press conference, the legal director of New Asia Film Company showed his sword at the press conference, pointing at more than a dozen media newspapers in Hong Kong. Even if most of them are third-rate tabloids, the number is unprecedented. The media has always been powerful in Hong Kong, and even the Hong Kong government's policies in Hong Kong, where there is freedom of speech, are often monitored by the media, and attacks and accusations can be seen from time to time. It is not false to say that the media is the uncrowned king of Hong Kong.

However, New Asia dared to open the door to the media, and it was a dozen newspapers as soon as it was shot. Even if most of them are tabloids with only tens of thousands, hundreds of thousands of readers, they sell only six or seven thousand a day, and even a maximum of just over 20,000. However, this method of provoking the authority of the media still annoyed many media, especially the "Oriental Daily", which had received three consecutive letters warning Xinya to stop the scandal of "Chen Baiqiang".

Although at this press conference, New Asia announced that it would sue more than a dozen media outlets, including Oriental Daily, but now among the more than a dozen media that continue to report on the scandal, Oriental Daily is impressively listed. As everyone knows, the bad media in New Asia's mouth includes "Oriental Daily", but it is just intimidated by its status as the largest newspaper in Hong Kong, so it is just hidden. However, New Asia sued more than a dozen other media outlets, and the "Oriental Daily" was left alone, which also meant to make an example of chickens and monkeys.

It is precisely because of the inner meaning of this that the "Oriental Daily" was furious, not only did the high-level reprimand Lin Xiaozhi, the boss of the New Asia Film Company, not know how to raise the rumors, but the more obvious performance was that the "Oriental Daily" then only put the news about the 'Chen Baiqiang press conference, in a corner of the entertainment section, and gave a section the size of tofu, and also used a certain artist and a certain film company and a record company to replace Chen Baiqiang, New Asia Film Company and New Asia Records.

As a means of repaying New Asia, "Oriental Daily" chose to block Chiguoguo. Even the big news only gives a little bit of coverage, and the company is not allowed to appear in the name of the artist under its name, as for other news will not be available in the "Oriental Daily" from now on.

The style is as usual, and the "Oriental Daily" is extremely domineering. However, more than a dozen other newspapers that have been warned by New Asia to seek justice through legal means are even more radical.

As a third-rate newspaper that has only begun to emerge in recent years, "Hong Kong Nightly" has been relying on the untrue celebrity topic of heavy taste and excitement in recent years, which has captured the hearts of many readers who love to read celebrity gossip. At the same time, "Hong Kong Night Post" was also the first newspaper to publish a photo of Chen Baiqiang's secret meeting with Weng Jingjing, and created a large number of misleading topics, and carried out printed reports in a grand manner.

It can be said that in this Chen Baiqiang scandal incident, although the influence of "Hong Kong Nightly" is not as good as that of those big newspapers, it also has increased its sales by first exposing the identity of "love". Because of this, although they received a warning from Xinya Film Company before, the newspapers did not buy it, even after Chen Baiqiang and Liu Jialiang were interviewed and exposed by "Cheng Pao", they still wrote articles maliciously, and there were even malicious gossips involving personal attacks such as Chen Baiqiang and Liu Jialiang and his wife.

New Asia Film Company warned that it would sue it, and although the "Hong Kong Evening News" was surprised but not alarmed, but wrote a sarcastic article: "...... Block people's mouths, don't speak, what a domineering New Asia Film Company"

"New Territories Daily" was not to be outdone, and the editor-in-chief of the newspaper even wrote an article accusing Lin Xiaozhi: "...... It is not easy to start a business, and it is even more difficult to keep a business. Although the development of New Asia Film Company is due to the boss's merit, it is obvious that this wealthy family can not hide the ink in his stomach after a few days, and he begins to enjoy the scenery that has become the center of the topic......"

Another newspaper, Xiang Pao, which was also warned by New Asia to sue, directly called New Asia: "Wait for the summons"

A large amount of false news and gossip have been reported, and they dare to beat up such a shameless rake, which shows the arrogance of the Hong Kong media.

Yet, New Asia was not afraid of them. On the third day after the press conference, Sima Jiebian, the legal director of New Asia, personally hired Zhang Bingzheng, a well-known Hong Kong Queen's Counsel with a 100 percent winning rate, to accept Liu Ximing's entrustment and officially enter the High Court, announcing that he had sued more than a dozen media outlets, including Hong Kong Evening News, New Territories Daily, Kowloon Times, and Hong Kong Pao, on charges of malicious defamation, slander, and personal assault

“…… On behalf of my client, I would like to express my anger and condemnation of the various crimes committed by my client in the past six months. Hong Kong is a fair society governed by the rule of law, and the media should not be trusted by the society and the public...... Excessive freedom of expression has fuelled the overbearing behaviour of some unscrupulous media. The media should have the responsibility to monitor society and reflect the voice of the people. However, judging from what he did, it is clear that he has broken the law knowingly, disregarded the responsibilities given to the media by society, and abused the power of media personnel......"

“…… In view of the sins he has committed against my client in the past, we will have the right to claim compensation of HK$17.48 million for the family, mental and business losses of my client, and solemnly apologize to my client in the well-known media in Hong Kong, and bear the responsibility for the restoration of the reputational damage caused to him......"

Since his debut, Zhang Bingzheng, a well-known Hong Kong barrister who has provided legal defense obligations for countless wealthy and celebrities in Hong Kong, has served as the responsible lawyer for Chen Baiqiang and New Asia, and New Asia's determination and courage have attracted the attention of countless people.

Zhang Bingzheng is very well-known in the Hong Kong legal circles, and the Hong Kong lawyer business is roughly divided into several types of royal barristers who provide legal advice and notarization to the company, and there is no doubt that he has never lost a game since his debut, and Zhang Bingzheng, who claims to have a 100% winning rate, is one of the most famous dozen of the Hong Kong royal barristers.

is also because of his great fame, if he wants to invite him to serve as a lawyer to provide legal obligations, he will not be able to be invited at all if it is less than five or six hundred thousand, and even if some people can give this sky-high price, Zhang Bingzheng may not be able to accept any case. Thanks to the fact that New Asia sued more than a dozen media outlets, and he was very interested in the boss of New Asia Film Company, after Lin Xiaozhi personally invited him to have a meal and talk, this Zhang Bingzheng agreed to take over the case. Of course, the evidence he used came from the New Asia legal team.

As soon as this case came out, the amount of compensation involved was huge, and even the "Hong Kong Evening News", which had been the least impressed before, could not sit still, because among the compensation of more than 17 million Hong Kong dollars, they alone were claimed as high as 5 million, almost half of the total assets of the "Hong Kong Evening News". Among them, Xinya not only paid Chen Baiqiang for lost work, moral damages, endorsement losses, loss of popularity, etc., but also the loss of the so-called "Love Letter" of New Asia Films, as well as the loss of pre-advertising expenses of New Asia Records, and the loss of pre-advertising of New Asia Records. Carefully counting, there are nearly 20 kinds of claims alone, and it is clear that they want to put the "Hong Kong Evening News" to death.

As soon as the sky-high claim of 17.48 million yuan came out, the Asian lawsuit against the bad media incident quickly fermented in Hong Kong, which attracted widespread attention from all walks of life.

"If it's just to attract attention and promote your company. Then we have to admit that some people succeeded"

On the latest edition of Oriental Daily on the 10th, Song Bingshu, the editor-in-chief of its entertainment section, sarcastically said: "I advise some people to remember that the accidental success of a movie does not mean that it will always be successful." Running a company with peace of mind is king, and news topics and hype are not a long-term solution. If you can't listen to it, come back in a year and see how long you can be proud."

Although the Oriental Daily did not explicitly say who he was referring to, it was such a clear implication that anyone in Hong Kong who read the report could immediately guess who he was referring to.

However, it is different from the "Oriental Daily", which has a sudden change of attitude and is faintly hostile to Xinya. Sing Pao, another major Hong Kong newspaper that was published on the same day, gave a completely different report.

"Freedom of the press has been completely abused"

The front page headline of the latest issue of "Cheng Pao" did not report on current affairs, but instead gave three-quarters of the page to Ya's lawsuit against bad media incidents, and there were also editors at the editor-in-chief level who wrote articles in person, with an attitude diametrically opposed to that of "Oriental Daily", and a posture of resisting New Asia.
