Volume 1 Chapter 299 Our 1990 (Part II)
The latest issue of the Hong Kong Economic Times published this issue of the report as scheduled, and it really caused quite a stir in Hong Kong.
The Economic Daily reacted quickly enough, and when no other media in Hong Kong had grasped this information, it exclusively reported on the special impact brought about by it, and Rao was prepared for it, but the 30,000 copies printed were sold out just after noon, and then in the afternoon, the Economic Daily reprinted two more copies, each with 10,000 copies, and still had to print another 5,000 copies and put them on the market after 5 p.m., and finally only recovered more than 1,700 copies.
Riding on Lam's astonishing popularity in Hong Kong, the Hong Kong Economic Times set a new record for the highest single-day circulation since its establishment, and raised it to more than 53,000.
Lam Hsiao-chi was in charge of the Kowloon Bank, and the news immediately attracted a lot of attention in Hong Kong as soon as the news appeared. As a veteran financial newspaper in Hong Kong, Hong Kong Economic Journal ignored the news after being taken the lead, and also saw the threat to itself from its rival "Hong Kong Economic Times", which is still very weak, and the deputy editor-in-chief personally contacted the Kowloon Bank to inquire about the situation that day. "Cheng Pao" was also unwilling, and through the personal relationship between the newspaper and Lin Xiaozhi, the first-hand information obtained was much more detailed than that of the "Hong Kong Economic Journal".
"Kowloon Bank issued an announcement to the outside world, which has confirmed the appointment of the chairman of the board of directors of the wealthy rebel" - Hong Kong Economic Journal)
"Received a large number of shares from Lin Jili Libao, Lin Xiaozhi became the owner of the Kowloon Bank, and his wealth or assets will double next year" - "Cheng Pao"
Compared with the positive reports of newspapers such as Hong Kong Economic Journal and Cheng Pao, Oriental Daily is very dismissive: "If you cross industries and cross industries, and achieve some achievements in the entertainment industry with a relatively low threshold, it does not mean that you can succeed in an industry that requires a lot of brains such as the banking industry......
In contrast, Ming Pao showed the same caution: "...... It is no exaggeration to say that the financial industry is the most competitive industry in Hong Kong, and although Lam Sang has performed extremely well in the film industry, it is difficult to guarantee that he can replicate his success in a completely different industry."
"Sing Tao Daily" is even more direct, "...... We are cautiously following Kowloon Bank's new initiatives"
No matter whether he is curious or supportive, he is not optimistic and cannot affect Lin Xiaozhi's life, on August 18, when the outside world was still clamoring to pay attention to his entry into the Kowloon Bank, Lin Xiaozhi received an invitation call
"Lin Sheng, do you have time?"
"I congratulate Miss Zhang first, "Love Letter" won a box office of 3.49 million Hong Kong dollars in Hong Kong, becoming the highest-grossing movie of the year......" accidentally found that the call was from Zhang Wanting, Lin Xiaozhi was just a little surprised and joked with a smile, I can hear that after the cooperation of "Love Letter", he is already very familiar with Zhang Wanting, one of the three most talented female directors in Hong Kong.
"No matter how much you earn, it's not all for Lin Sheng." Zhang Wanting on the other side of the phone smiled, "What's more, it's only August now, and there are still a few months before the end of this year, so maybe a more blockbuster movie will pop up."
She was not arrogant or impatient, and chatted with Lin Xiaozhi for a while, and remembered why she called him, "Okay, let's talk about it when we have time." Tomorrow night we will hold a celebration party for "Love Letter", although it is organized by you Xinya, but I am also worried that Lin Sheng, you are too busy to participate now. On behalf of the crew, I'll call you first and ask ......"
"Love Letter" has been released for more than a month, and it has been painted in Taiwan and Hong Kong successively. In Taiwan, "Love Letter" finally won the box office of 71.49 million Taiwan dollars (about 830,000 Hong Kong dollars), this pure love movie has become the highest-grossing Hong Kong film this year in Taiwan, and the limelight is still above "God of Gamblers".
At the beginning, Lin Xiaozhi waved his hand and directly allocated 1 million to make a decent celebration party, so it was naturally impossible for him not to remember this. Just savored Zhang Wanting's words, Lin Xiaozhi suddenly laughed dumbly, and realized that she was making fun of herself with the news that she recently joined the Kowloon Bank and attracted countless topics.
readily agreed: "I will definitely cheer for the show, and don't forget that I also have an identity in the crew." Although the script of "Love Letter" was written by him, although the script was polished by Zhang Wanting and his wife in the later stage, but when the screenwriter reported the subtitles in the column, his Lin Xiaozhi's name still appeared at the top.
Zhang Wanting heard that he agreed to participate, and after telling him the hotel and time where the celebration party was held, the two chatted a few more words before hanging up the phone.
On the evening of the 19th, the newly opened Conrad Hotel at RR Queensway in Central was bustling with excitement in the Conrad Hotel, which had only been open for just over a month, and the celebration party of the popular movie "Love Letter" invested by Kowloon Film Company was held in this newly opened five-star hotel.
“…… Mr. Cen, thank you for your face today."
"Xiang Sheng, what kind of wind blew you here today, thank you for your face, you must have fun tonight......"
"Huang Sheng, it's been a long time......
"Brother Sanmao, why are you here so late, hurry up, hurry up, come in. Brother Long, they have all arrived early, waiting for you inside......"
Standing at the door of the hotel as a welcome for a long time, Lin Xiaozhi smiled bitterly. He didn't come early or late, but he didn't want to just come to the hotel and catch Zhang Wanting and them, today Xinya symbolically issued some invitations, but I didn't expect many industry bigwigs to come. The crew of "Love Letter" couldn't control the scene, so they could only wait for him to come and let him receive these bigwigs in person.
"Danny, the new record is not bad, right?"
Just sent Shi Tian, one of the three giants of the uninvited New Arts City, and saw that there were very few people coming, so Lin Xiaozhi had time to chat with a few members of the "Love Letter" crew who welcomed him. Chen Baiqiang was standing next to him, he was a little withdrawn, because he was not suitable for this kind of reception work, he didn't want to come out, but he still pulled Lin Xiaozhi out, his face was slightly tired at this time, obviously the reception took him a lot of effort.
Chen Baiqiang nodded when he heard this, and couldn't help but show a smile on his face: ""Life" has sold six platinums, but the recent rally has begun to fall. Overall, it's a little better than the previous two years when I was at Tesson Records......"
Because his new album has two songs, "What to Ask for in Life" and "Life with You", and later the name of the new album was called "Life". 87. In RR, he only sold four platinum albums in Disheng in the same year, and "Life" now sells six platinum sales, although it can only be said that he was in his heyday around 85 years, but he has not thought about breaking any records now. can recover the popularity that has been lost in the past few years, Chen Baiqiang is already very satisfied.
Lin Xiaozhi smiled and patted him on the shoulder: "Don't worry, as soon as "Love Letter" comes out, your popularity in Hong Kong and Taiwan skyrocketed, I heard from the record company that I have received a lot of endorsements and other contacts from Taiwan and Macau, and at present, the record company is preparing to arrange a concert tour in Hong Kong, Macao and Taiwan for you, and it is conservatively estimated that there will be no less than ten."
"Really?" Chen Baiqiang was overjoyed when he heard this, and at the same time secretly congratulated himself that he was fortunate to stay in Xinya Records. At the end of last month, after nearly half a year of tossing the 'Chen Baiqiang scandal case, the court finally made a decision, and several media outlets sued by New Asia were sentenced to pay 710,000 Hong Kong dollars in compensation to New Asia and Chen Baiqiang and apologize, while 14 people were sentenced to prison for three months to one year and seven months. Although the thunder was heavy and the rain was small, the final result was much worse than the requirements they made, but whether it was Lin Xiaozhi or Chen Baiqiang, they had no intention of continuing to investigate. Being able to sue the uncrowned king media was a victory in itself, and no one would have thought that they would get all the sky-high compensation they could offer from the beginning.
The concert means making money, which means that the popularity and fans will increase, which is undoubtedly a good thing for Chen Baiqiang, who urgently needs to regain popularity.
Lin Xiaozhi smiled and nodded but didn't answer, he actually wanted to arrange a few mainland concerts for Chen Baiqiang, and even chose the addresses of the four concerts, Shenzhen丨Guangzhou, Shanghai, and Beijing. Now the mainland is indeed impoverished because of the political storm, and it is true that it is impossible to make much money by going to the mainland to hold concerts. However, Lin Xiaozhi does not seek to make money, but seeks to make money first, and the signboard of Ya is launched on the mainland, paving the way for a possible large-scale entry into the mainland in the future. It's a pity that the Hong Kong entertainment industry is now in a stalemate with the mainland, and it is inevitable that he will have to contact the local government to hold a concert, so he can only wait for an opportunity to help him open up the mainland market.
