Volume 1 Chapter 180 Lin Xiaozhi, the rebel son of a wealthy family
Although it is the first time to cooperate, the Golden Princess Cinema Line treats New Asia not badly. Of course, it is more likely to ease the relationship between the three giants of Xinyi City, so the release period of this movie shot by Gao Zhisen, Huang Baiming's confidant, was given a full month.
On July 3l, after the end of this day's release, the New Asia investment movie "Water Margin" was finally painted, and the final box office was 740,000 Hong Kong dollars. You must know that the box office of "Supreme" by the fat man of Lu Dao Wang was only more than 17 million at this time, and that movie was released more than half a month earlier than Xinya's "Water Margin".
The most sighing thing is Wu Yusen's "Bloody Heroes", a hero film that was originally expected to hit 25 million or even higher at the box office, but it was released in the summer of this year, and the cold snap hit, except for a few films such as Fengyue films and witty comedies, the box office of other films is like the current diving stock market in Hong Kong, showing a straight downward trend.
The cold snap brought by this year's political storm has seriously affected the Hong Kong box office, not only the box office in April, May, June and March has declined compared with previous years, but even the box office in July has not escaped the decline, with a slight decline over the same period last year, and the reason why the decline is much smaller than that in May and June, does not rule out the butterfly effect brought by the reborn Lin Xiaozhi.
"Cheng Pao" interviewed Lin Xiaozhi, unexpectedly did not put it on the second day of the newspaper, but chose to put it on the first day of August, and not only gave the full page report of the entertainment version of the front page, but even gave a corner in the lower left corner of the front page of the current affairs edition, which shows that "Cheng Pao" attaches great importance to this report.
"It only takes one year to go from negative income to net income of more than 50 million, the wealth myth of the rich rebel"
This was the headline of the entertainment section of Sing Pao on August l, and they published an exclusive interview with Lin Xiaozhi and New Asia as promised.
Soon after the newspaper went public, Cheng Pao sold out in just seven hours, and although many of the buyers were regular readers of Cheng Pao, the feedback from some newsstands and bookstores on the street and alley corners clearly told Cheng Pao that their decision to interview Lin Xiaozhi was correct. On this day, at least two or three percent of readers accidentally saw the entertainment version of the interview about the "wealthy rebel Lin Xiaozhi", and they paid for the newspaper out of curiosity.
In the past few years, Sing Pao has widened the gap with Sing Tao Daily, and its single-day sales in two years even exceeded 210,000 copies, second only to the 270,000 copies announced by Oriental Daily, which became popular in January 1987 because it took the lead in reporting a certain political news on the mainland.
However, before noon, the 130,000 copies that had been put on the market were sold out, and the sales in this half-day had already caught up with the heat of the storm at the beginning of June this year. Fortunately, Sing Pao is not unprepared, and in fact today Sing Pao has prepared 200,000 copies of the newspaper for this purpose to cope with possible sales. Soon after calls from newsstands, bookstores, and grocery stores came in, 50,000 copies of the newspaper were shipped out of the printing plant under the Sing Pao newspaper and quickly digested by the entire market
Around 3 p.m., calls came from all over Hong Kong, and they were still being sold
This interview of "Cheng Pao" was too successful, because Lin Xiaozhi's reputation was not good before, and he was somewhat worried about the impact on his family, Lin Xiaozhi rarely took the initiative to accept interviews with the media, so that until now, although many Hong Kong have experienced several waves of New Asia hype storm, many of which are talking about himself, but Hong Kong still has few interviews with him. As a person who has created countless topics by relying on self-hype, it is said that a year or two ago he was still an uneducated and unskilled person, and in a short period of time, he became the president of a well-known film company, and personally took charge of the director of a film with a box office of more than 20 million, and a new fortune giant in the business world.
Such a topic character and a living legend are not only curious about the major media, but even many ordinary readers in Hong Kong have a strong curiosity about him.
Curious about his background, curious about his gossip, curious about how he did all this now, curious about his wealthy identity and family business not to take over to make movies, curious about the triangular relationship between him and the most beautiful Hong Kong sister Li Jiaxin and the little talent Ni Zhen in Xiangjiang.
Blah blah blah, too much curiosity.
As soon as they saw the big sale, the editorial department of "Cheng Pao" was overjoyed and immediately notified the printing house to print another 50,000 copies of the newspaper to prepare, and even if it could not be sold, it could be recycled and destroyed; today's big sale of 200,000 copies has already exceeded the expectations of "Cheng Pao" side, and even if there is a little loss when recycling the old newspaper, "Cheng Pao" will still make a lot of money.
"Cheng Pao" was not slow to react on the one hand, and other media in Hong Kong on the other side also reacted, one by one annoyed and depressed. They are now just staring at the political storm in the northern continent and desperately reporting, even if it is a large amount of space in the entertainment version, it is also for the entertainment industry is brewing a big march to boycott Hong Kong's return, occasionally reporting on 'Wu Yusen's departure, the disharmony of the three giants of the art city,' Golden Harvest investment in "Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles" The United States is rumored to stop filming farce, and the famous brand king Pan Disheng quarreled with his star wife Yang Ziqiong, and so on.
Even the box office of this year's summer movies has been placed in the corner, only when Xinya's "Liao Zhai Yan Tan" and Golden Harvest's "Beauty" competed on the same stage at the beginning of last month, they could get a lot of space, and later with the two films respectively won more than 14UU and 18UU more than 18UU box office, the attention of major newspapers also turned to the northern continent. It wasn't until the "Cheng Pao" interview with Lin Xiaozhi and Xinya was published that the major newspapers suddenly realized that they had completely forgotten to send an interview invitation to Lin Xiaozhi and Xinya again.
That's right, Lin Xiaozhi did reject them before. But now that his second new film is nearing the end of filming, it's time for it to be widely publicized. If they invite him again at this time, they will definitely not eat the closed door again.
At present, some influential newspapers have sent invitations to New Asia, Lin Xiaozhi and even ATV. And all the newspapers that are not strong and influential enough, Yu Juan directly paid for some reprints of sections and interviews with "Cheng Pao", hoping to make a lot of money by taking advantage of the curiosity of Lin Xiaozhi, a young man from all walks of life in Hong Kong.
On this day, the "Cheng Pao" newspaper sold 10,000 copies, 40,000 copies higher than the average sales of 180,000 copies in the last month, and even slightly higher than the sales of 10,000 copies created by the "Cheng Pao" when it reported on the northern storm in early June. It is conservatively estimated that at least 10,000 newspapers were attracted by their entertainment edition, and very few readers who bought Cheng Pao bought them.
Sensations always need to be brewed, and the sales of 10,000 copies of Sing Pao on the first day have confirmed the curiosity of all classes in Hong Kong about the 'son of the wealthy rebel Lin Xiaozhi'.
By the second day of August, dozens of media outlets followed suit, and almost all of Hong Kong was overwhelmed with reports about Lin Xiaozhi and New Asia Films.
"Sing Tao Daily" reported: "The prodigal son does not change his money, and the wealthy rebel Lin Xiaozhi staged self-redemption, from a gentleman to a tycoon in the entertainment industry"
"Ming Pao" reported: "I made more than 50 million a year by making Fengyue films, and the former gentleman really lived up to the name of 'the rebel son of a wealthy family'." It is rumored that 'the wealthy family is wide and small, and the film earns tens of millions a year, and some insiders revealed that he has become the owner of the former owner New Asia"
"Oriental Daily" reported: "Independence. The cutters sympathized with each other, and the wealthy and wealthy strictly forbade the employees of the company to pronounce their voices in support of Northern Studies. tide, political attitudes are biased towards pro-communism"
"South China Morning Post" reported: "The little talent in Hong Kong lost the most beautiful Hong Kong sister or because of the wealthy family's lack of interference, it is rumored that Lin Xiaozhi has lived with the most beautiful Hong Kong sister Li Jiaxin"
"Express" said: "Not afraid of criticism from the outside world, Zhizai invested tens of millions of dollars in a new drama to respond to the farce of prostitution and theft, and proudly said that the new movie will land on the screen at the end of the year to meet the audience." ”
The financial newspaper Hong Kong Economic Journal reported that it was even more different: "New Asia may have changed hands, and he personally invested in five blockbuster films, and his unique vision may bring more than 40 million Hong Kong dollars in investment returns to Lin Xiaozhi himself." The money-making philosophy of the wealthy rebels, the unscrupulous promotional marketing or the box office sales of the movies invested by New Asia"
On the second day, a number of media outlets in Hong Kong went into battle one after another, and even many of them bought interviews directly from Sing Pao, and then put them in their own newspapers for publication after a short break, and they were just as popular.
Their extensive publicity, Lin Xiaozhi and some ordinary citizens in Hong Kong who want to see him, a maverick and a wealthy rebel son gossip news, are happy. Recently, the major media and newspapers in Hong Kong have been reporting on the northern storm, and when I first read it, I was still a little angry and annoyed, and I felt a lot more uneasy about the return in 97. But as more and more of this kind of news is read, major newspapers have been hyping it for several months. I was still a little interested, but now I have a lot of appetite for it.
Hong Kong has nearly 6 million residents, of whom nearly 1.5 million are illegal immigrants or quasi-illegal immigrants who have not obtained residency rights. There are still many more people who are still struggling for three meals a day and a better and richer life. Only a small number of people in Hong Kong have the ability to emigrate overseas, and even if all of them are gone, only one-tenth of them, or 500,000 or 600,000 people. More small citizens have long been tired of the continuous political criticism, and they are more like seeing those entertainment industry celebrity anecdotes and gossip that can make people talk more.
Compared with political reports, it is still such a long-lost entertainment news that makes them more enjoyable and enjoyable to watch.
The interview with "Cheng Pao" made Lin Xiaozhi's popularity accumulated for more than a year burst out instantly, making him a well-known figure in the Hong Kong entertainment industry, and the huge news value brought by his own identity and the topics he often created and the controversy caused by his actions have made him the focus of newspaper reports.
No wonder some people in the circle sighed: "There are many rich children who have entered the entertainment industry, such as Golden Boy Li Ming, Qiu Litao, and Danny Tsai Chen Baiqiang, even if Danny Tsai has become popular little by little by accumulating popularity by singing for many years, I have never seen a wealthy child who is so popular in just one year." It's amazing to have a baby after this."
But I don't know if it's because of his popularity, or because I'm amazed at his self-hype methods.
