Fan Hongwei really came prepared, not long after his two assistants left, Assistant Wu came over and whispered to him that the doorman called over to inquire that a car carrying several people was going to drive in, saying that he had made an appointment with them Xinya to interview them, and he wanted to let them go. After Lin Xiaozhi nodded, he didn't let him wait a few minutes, and a group of six people went up to the ATV building and came to Xinya's office with cameras and recording equipment, as well as reflectors for photography.

Do the math, plus Fan Hongwei, editor-in-chief of the entertainment section of "Cheng Pao", "Cheng Pao" sent a luxurious seven-person lineup including the editor-in-chief of the entertainment edition and several reporters, which seems to be not a small plan.

Lin Xiaozhi, as the president of New Asia, also wanted to promote New Asia Film Company, so he took them around the office with more than 100 people and let them take some photos.

Fan Hongwei looks a bit literati with a pair of eyes, and it is naturally not easy for this person to become the editor-in-chief of the entertainment section of Sing Pao, one of the largest newspapers in Hong Kong, at the age of 30. Under the leadership of Lin Xiaozhi, after taking a turn in the New Asia Film Company, he was not in a hurry to interview, but instead looked back and forth on Lin Xiaozhi for a while, and suddenly asked: "Mr. Lin, our "Cheng Pao" has received the news from some people inside ATV before, saying that you have taken over the entire New Asia Film Company, I don't know if it is convenient for you to disclose it now?" ”

Lin Xiaozhi, a sophisticated and vicious editor-in-chief, felt a tight heart, and this question had to be weighed and answered.

For the rapid development of New Asia, Lin Xiaozhi has been holding high the banner of ATV, and he has nothing to do with ATV's tiger skin to use it, not to mention, the identity of one of the two major wireless TV stations in Hong Kong is particularly easy to use, not only when New Asia seeks cooperation with foreign countries, others have to give a little face to ATV's sake, and if they want to find trouble with New Asia, they have to weigh it, in case it is exposed by ATV, with the huge influence of ATV TV, I don't know what the road will become.

Moreover, New Asia wants to borrow the crew and equipment from ATV, which is much cheaper than others. Because of this, although Qiu Degen had hinted at him during his time, many senior executives of ATV were dissatisfied with the fact that New Asia was sold to him After Lin Xiaozhi was sold, he stayed in the ATV building and did not even make an announcement, but Lin Xiaozhi has always been cheeky until now, and he has not exposed the fact that New Asia has nothing to do with ATV, that is, he still wants to continue to pull the banner of ATV. The flag of ATV can indeed bring a lot of convenience to New Asia.

Lin Xiaozhi pondered for a moment before replying, "...... The rumors stop at the wise, and the outside world is not true. However, I do have plans to buy New Asia, and if the plan is finalized, I will definitely notify your newspaper at that time."

One sentence is almost equivalent to not saying anything, Fan Hongwei raised his eyebrows, but seeing that he didn't mean to elaborate on this topic, he didn't continue to ask, so as not to get yellow before the interview started.

"Cheng Pao" attached great importance to this interview, and even sent an entertainment version of the ace reporter, a young beautiful reporter named Lin Qing.

Fan Hongwei pulled Lin Qing aside, and after a few more words, the interview officially began in the reception room of New Asia.

The focus of this interview is on Lin Xiaozhi, so Lin Qing asked as soon as he came up: "Hello Mr. Lin, my name is Lin Qing." Lin is Lin Xiang, and Qing is the Qing who lives up to the Qing. In fact, many people in Hong Kong are very interested in Mr. Lin's experience, and some insiders revealed that Mr. Lin was born in a banking family and is the son of a wealthy family. So the first question, don't you mind me being curious to ask, why did you enter the entertainment industry instead of choosing to take over the family business? ”

Lin Xiaozhi let the photographer of "Cheng Pao" take a few photos, and when he heard their reporter's question, he pondered for a moment and replied: "My family is indeed a wealthy family, but it is too much to say that it is a wealthy family." As you know, my family has been running a bank for generations. It's just that compared to my brother who returned from studying abroad and was good at bank management, I was a pampered child, and after graduating from Form 7, I didn't want to work everywhere, and I wasted many years of time in a flash, and I was not familiar with the family business at all, so I couldn't do it at all. The reason why I chose the film industry is that I met some friends in the entertainment industry a few years ago, and a lot of wind blew in my ears, which made me have a strong interest in the entertainment industry......"

Naturally, this was a complete lie, and it was impossible for him to reveal his identity as a reborn.

Lin Qing has a pair of big watery eyes, and it is said that men have a natural affection for this kind of woman. Lin Xiaozhi had a good first impression of her anyway, and as soon as he finished speaking, he saw those big watery eyes light up.

Mr. Lin...... Are you saying that you are not planning to enter the family business, but are ready to make a career in the entertainment industry? ”

"So to speak" Lin Xiaozhi clasped his hands, and a smile loomed on his face: "The entertainment industry is inclusive and inclusive of everything, whether you are from the grassroots or a rich family, you are a newcomer when you come here, and you have to work hard from scratch." I'm a wild man, the most rebellious, and what others say I can't do, I have to do it against the grain. A dead end to the end, crashing through the south wall and not looking back. Therefore⊥ I choose to follow the path that my family chose for me step by step, and I would rather choose to work hard in the entertainment industry that I am more interested in, such as I chose the movie ......"

Lin Xiaozhi's self-revelation made the eyes of several people in "Cheng Pao" light up, which can be regarded as an unexpected gain today. The media, like ordinary citizens, is far less fond of those who have a good reputation than those who are very controversial. The reason couldn't be simpler, Mr. Yes has no news value, no scandals and no gossip, do you let readers watch a fart, and let the newspapers drink the northwest wind? In contrast, it is still those gossip people, whose private lives are very chaotic, and who often have eye-catching news, can attract small citizens who love to read gossip to pay for newspapers and promote newspaper sales.

Lin Xiaozhi has no doubt that he is such a famous person that all the Hong Kong media can't wait to dissect. The nephew of Lin Baixin, who was born in a veteran banking family and is one of the top ten richest people, is an out-and-out gentleman. There are no secrets in the media circle, people who really want to inquire, Lin Xiaozhi's past little has been almost inquired about now, and the reason why he has not had a good reputation in the past year is because from time to time some ridiculous things about his past have been exposed in the newspapers.

But it is precisely because he himself is not perfect that the news value is greater.

A young man who was just an uneducated kid more than a year ago, suddenly the prodigal son turned back and created his own career and a new world in the entertainment industry, and everyone was very interested in this news topic. In fact, "Sing Pao" is not the first media to want to interview New Asia and Lin Xiaozhi himself, many media people in Hong Kong have this idea. However, in recent months, the political storm blowing from the north has affected the major media in Hong Kong, and many newspapers have turned their attention to the mainland, and "Cheng Pao" is no exception. If it weren't for the fact that the two consecutive films shot by New Asia were hot sellers and became the two dark horses at the Hong Kong box office, Fan Hongwei persuaded "Sing Pao" to send the most elite interview team to interview this person who was not a star but was more dazzling than most stars in the Hong Kong entertainment industry in the past year.

Lin Qing swallowed for a while, and even the white tender palm holding the recorder couldn't help but ooze sweat. She has interviewed some celebrities before, but when it comes to topicality and influence, no one can compare to the legend of the lord in front of her. A year ago, he was still a gentleman, and suddenly broke into the Hong Kong entertainment industry, and a year later, he turned a dismal and bankrupt film company into a company in the Hong Kong film industry. There are so many questions she wants to ask about interviews with people who have created such a miracle.

"Mr. Lin just mentioned the movie, and I have a question I want to ask you. As we all know, New Asia Film Company has made great strides in your hands, and has shot many successful films in a row. What makes countless people even more curious is that you not only have amazing performance in the company's management and film investment, but even wrote many movie scripts yourself, and personally directed the shooting of a movie? ”

It is a good "Cheng Pao", and sure enough, Hong Kong media people are much more pragmatic than mainland media people. Even if I said it well before, there was no mercy in the interview, and every question was very vicious.

Now many people in Hong Kong are suspecting that the scripts created by Lin Xiaozhi before were plagiarized or taken up other people's works. And their basis is that on the list of directors of the movie "Color is Empty", not only Lin Xiaozhi's name appears, but also the name of the director called 'Ye Weixin'. What makes many people swear is that he Lin Xiaozhi has taken other people's works for his reputation, and this director named 'Ye Weixin', whether it is the celebration of "Color is Empty", or in the months after that, this person did not appear in front of people. Although Xinya released the news to the outside world, Ye Weixin had to take a leave of absence to rest for a period of time because he was injured while filming a movie, but there are still people who make a big fuss about this, and now there are voices that suspect Lin Xiaozhi of forcibly appropriating other people's works for fame.

was suspected, Lin Xiaozhi was not angry, his face was still smiling, and said: "It was about the end of 87 years, I had the idea of making a movie for the first time, because I met a few people in the circle during that time, and I was fortunate to be taken to the crew by one and witnessed the filming and production of the movie for a while, so as soon as this idea came out, I couldn't stop it, and it kept rolling and growing." Last year, I met a screenwriter in the circle, and it was my contact with him that made me interested in writing scripts. A simple tens of thousands of words, just like writing an article, the personality of a person or several people jumps on the page, and the changes and twists and turns in a lifetime may not take much space. ”

He paused, feeling that his buttocks were a little numb, and moved again to change himself to a more comfortable position to sit down, "That's exactly how I got involved with movies, and at the beginning, I wrote a script with reference to the popular Fengyue film at the time, which was purely for the nature of playing tickets." Miss Lin may not know, I don't know if the editor-in-chief of Lu Daofan has ever watched it, my first movie "The Beauty", which was a Fengyue film, but the screenwriter list was only signed with 'Anonymous, two words, that was my first script, but at that time, because I was worried that after it was exposed, it would cause gossip to my family, so Yu Crisp did not sign my name. Later, even I didn't expect that movie to become unexpectedly popular and make me a lot of money, so I began to face up to the profiteering industry of film, and only then did I have a series of works and investment ......"

"You're probably worried about your family."

Lin Qing's face was slightly embarrassed, although Hong Kong has an open atmosphere, men can talk about sex boldly in front of others, and women may not be as cheeky as they are.

Lin Xiaozhi shrugged his shoulders, with an expression that was almost like this.

Xinya has made many Fengyue films before, and the salty and wet reputation can't run away, and Lin Qing has also heard of it. However, this woman's work ethic is good, and she is also sensitive to the news. Hearing Lin Xiaozhi's words mention that she had made a lot of money from the first game she invested in, she immediately pushed the recorder in front of Lin Xiaozhi, and asked with a little expectation: "It's convenient to reveal, how much income does "The Beauty" bring to you, Mr. Lin?" ”

"This ......" Lin Xiaozhi thought for a while, and then nodded slightly: "This is no problem, let me do the math, that movie will probably bring me more than five million Hong Kong dollars in net income." ”

"So much?" Lin Qing exclaimed.

"Quick, write it down" Fan Hongwei's face was happy, and he hurriedly urged his subordinates to write it down. Good guys, this is a bonus. The first Fengyue film produced by the wealthy Kuo Shao played his own ticket, which brought him a huge return, this is the only report, "Cheng Pao" won the news, needless to say that the newspaper will definitely sell a lot of copies.

He immediately became more curious in his heart, although Fan Hongwei had not seen the movie "The Beauty", but he was also a media person, he was fully prepared before coming to interview New Asia today, and he knew the box office situation of many movies that New Asia had invested in the past year. Hearing about New Asia's movie that did not even reach 10 million Hong Kong dollars at the box office brought such a huge return to Lin Xiaozhi. So in the following year, how much did New Asia's works with a box office of more than 10 million, 15 million, 20 million or even close to 30 million bring to this young man?

I'm afraid it's not less than an astronomical number, right?

As soon as he thought of this, Fan Hongwei couldn't help swallowing in his throat, and an impulse rushed straight to his brain, so that he couldn't help but immediately want to ask Lin Xiaozhi how much benefit the movies made by Xinya in the past brought him. But when the words came to his mouth, he swallowed them back, because he thought about it, and I am afraid that it is impossible to answer even if he asks Lin Xiaozhi, after all, the two are completely different concepts

"Editor-in-chief, it's all recorded" Seeing that the editor-in-chief was a little out of shape, one of the accompanying people hurriedly pulled him and motioned him to look at the tape recorder in Lin Qing's hand, and the conversation just now was all recorded.

The beautiful reporter Lin Qing's eyes were like water, and her cherry lips squirmed: "Mr. Lin is really good, and he earned more than five million yuan in the first movie with tickets"

She seemed to be a little unconvinced, and there was such a smell in her tone.

Lin Xiaozhi smiled slightly, "I said at the time that I was interested in movies, and when my family saw that I had not learned for so many years, I was a pure gentleman, and finally seemed to want to learn well, so I came forward to ask an elder in the family to help, and I came to the film company Xinya, a subsidiary of ATV, for a little while, originally wanted me to be a small employee to learn something and sharpen my temperament." However, my first position after coming to New Asia was the assistant to the president, and at that time, the senior management of ATV was already a little dissatisfied with our new Asia's gradual losses, and even the funding for making movies was very small. Brother Mao's investment in "Maoshan Taoist Fighting Zombies" was paid by Boss Qiu himself for several millions, I was learning to write scripts at the time, and after I got the script of "The Beautiful Woman", I couldn't wait to make the movie right away and see what I created. Xinya said that there was no money to shoot, so I raised some money by myself and took the lion's share, and as a result, I made some money by mistake."

"Then how did you come up with the idea of making your own movie?"

"Well, I said at the beginning that the reason why I came to New Asia was because I suddenly became interested in movies. After the first film was successfully invested, I later wrote another screenplay, which also paid off a lot of money. After making some money at that time, I felt that writing scripts alone was no longer enough for me, and I began to want to make my own films. Although I followed several directors such as Brother Mao and He Fan before, I watched them make movies. But it was the first time to be a director myself, and it happened that there was a young director named Ye Weixin in New Asia at that time, who was the current acting production director of New Asia. I created a new and interesting script called "Color is Empty", so I told him that Xinya could invest him in filming this script, but there was one condition, that is, to bring me as a drag oil bottle and learn how to make movies with the crew......"

Lin Xiaozhi recalled Ye Weixin's unwillingness at the beginning, and the smile on his face grew, "At that time, Ashin was still a little unwilling, but later he still lost to his desire to take charge independently, and promised me to hang the name of a director in the crew." And then we started shooting that movie, and it took a few months to shoot, and it was a good shot, and I always learned from the crew, and only occasionally helped pick out a few goofs, and I didn't even think about being independent, because I didn't have any experience in this area, until something happened later."

"What happened?" Lin Qing was hearing this, and when he saw him, he couldn't help but ask.

Lin Xiaozhi took out a cigarette pack from his pocket, "I'm a big smoker, don't you mind if I smoke a cigarette?" ”

"Of course"

Seeing that she agreed, he lit a cigarette for himself, and immediately handed the cigarette pack and lighter to Fan Hongwei and them, and continued: "At that time, about half of the movie was filmed, and suddenly one day the crew had an accident, and when we were filming the movie, a few gangsters wanted to forcibly collect the land fee, and Ashin didn't give it, and the two sides clashed, and as a result, Ashin was injured in the conflict and had to be hospitalized for a while. The film lost its director, so it couldn't be made. At that time, it was the end of the year, the busiest time in the film industry, and there was no more suitable director to take charge for a while. My head was hot, and I thought I had been learning for a while, so I might as well try it myself. So, I made a mistake, I was supposed to follow the study, but I accidentally took charge of the guide tube......"

"Accident has created a legend" Lin Qing sighed a little, when "Color is Empty" played the true love card, although it was a tertiary film, she couldn't resist the recommendation of her colleagues, bought a ticket and entered the theater to watch the movie, and naturally knew how popular this movie was in Hong Kong

Lin Qing asked a few more questions about investing in films, and even asked how much money he had made in the past year, but unfortunately he was blocked by Lin Xiaozhi's ambiguous words, and when he saw that he didn't want to answer, Fan Hongwei coughed, suggesting that she turned the question in other directions.

“…… In fact, many people admire Mr. Lin very much, not only because of your achievements in New Asia. And your success in the love field was published in many newspapers some time ago, the scandal between you and last year's Miss Hong Kong champion Miss Li Jiaxin, are you dating? Miss Li Jiaxin had dated Ni Zhen, a young talent, before, but later broke up quickly because of some of the original ones. There is news that you once had some conflicts with the little genius Ni Zhen, is there such a thing? ”

This question is not easy to answer, Lin Xiaozhi extinguished the cigarette butt, and his head turned quickly for a while, before he replied slowly: "When it comes to personal privacy issues, I can't disclose them."

"Mr. Lin......" Fan Hongwei suddenly interjected, looking at him with a faint smile in his eyes, "The day before yesterday, the movie "Good Meeting" invested by Debao was completed, and Miss Li has already admitted that you are dating in an interview with our "Cheng Pao" ......."

Lin Xiaozhi frowned, did the stupid girl really admit it? Didn't I already tell her that I couldn't expose the relationship for the time being, so as not to wear small shoes for her over there?

His mouth opened slightly and was about to open his mouth to answer, when he suddenly saw a faint smile on the corner of Fan Hongwei's mouth, and his heart was shocked.

"It's so dangerous, I almost fell for it"

Lin Xiaozhi scolded in his heart, he didn't believe that Li Jiaxin would make mistakes after he had already told her, so there was only one possibility left, that "Cheng Pao" was lying.

He replied quietly: "I can't disclose personal privacy issues, I am very good friends with Miss Li, as for the conflict between you and Mr. Ni, I think you may be mistaken......

Seeing that he still didn't answer this question, Fan Hongwei could only give up, glanced at Lin Qing who was sitting on the side, and motioned for her to continue to ask below.

"I heard that Mr. Lin recently took charge of the shooting of a movie himself. Can I ask you about this movie? ”

"Of course, the name of this movie is "Killer Leon", and the genre is inconvenient for the time being, but I can only say now that this is a story about human nature and social crime. A little action scene is more about the anatomy of human nature, but the specifics are up to everyone to taste for themselves after the movie is released. "Spoilers are the worst thing, Lin Xiaozhi will definitely not reveal the storyline in advance, so as to arouse everyone's curiosity and expectations, and to achieve the early publicity effect.

"In terms of investment, I will invest more than 10 million yuan, plus publicity and post-processing, the investment in the whole film has reached about 15 million."

Lin Xiaozhi avoided spoilers, and Lin Qing naturally knew this, she didn't ask, although a tape recorder recorded the conversation between the two, but she still wrote down some of the highlights of the interview with a pen.

Holding the pen and quickly recording it on the paper, Lin Qing asked: "Recently, there have been rumors that Mr. Lin warned the internal staff of New Asia that it is strictly forbidden for anyone to publish any topics related to the current political turmoil in the Northern Continent. Why did you make this decision? ”

Inside the new Asia leaked

Lin Xiaozhi's eyes froze, and then his face became ugly. He doesn't want to be caught up in the growing political storm, the future importance of the mainland market, and the fact that Hong Kong films are dying in the future have fully confirmed its importance to Hong Kong films. Not to mention his own identity and the concept of 'son is not ugly, the concept affects him, just the fact that the mainland will gradually become stronger in the future and become the second largest box office market in the world makes Lin Xiaozhi unable to raise the heart to follow those people in the Hong Kong film industry to toss and find death, so he issued an internal gag order, but he didn't expect it to be rumored to go out.

It seems that during this period of time, he has been busy with movie shooting, and he is too negligent in the selection of the company's management and personnel, and Xinya really needs a more suitable professional manager than him to take care of it.

A few thoughts quickly flashed in his heart, but in the face of a few stares staring at him, Lin Xiaozhi pondered for a moment, and still made a decision to answer her question.

"I've always felt that it would be best for the politicians to leave things in the north to the hands of the politicians. The entertainment industry should have the appearance of the entertainment industry, and when it is mixed with politics, it will change the taste, and everyone's brain composition is different, so everyone's way of living is different. Some people don't make movies, don't sing songs, and dance up and down with their own business, and I have no right to ask. But as the president of New Asia Films, I have to do what is most in line with our company's standards and interests. And I believe that it is not in the long-term interests of the company for employees and artists to participate in the current events, so I have the right to stipulate that employees and artists are strictly prohibited from publishing any topics related to the current political turmoil in the Northern Continent. If anyone is not satisfied, please submit your resignation to me first to terminate the contract with our new Asia, and then do what you like."

His answer was categorical and his attitude was also very light, which made Fan Hongwei and the others stunned for a while before they heard Lin Qing ask in a low voice: "Could it be that Mr. Lin is a pro-North person?" ”

When the storm hit Hong Kong, it quickly caused a huge sensation in Hong Kong. It is no exaggeration to say that at least seven or eight of the 10 Hong Kong people have made or talked about the mainland in the north every day, otherwise it would not have been possible for Hong Kong to continue for more than four months. The pro-North faction is the so-called pro-communist faction, pro-mainland faction, and leftist, although the ass has always been very upright, the reborn Lin Xiaozhi is a hardcore pro-Northern faction, and he knows better that no one can go against the general trend of Hong Kong's return. However, the pro-North faction is now in Hong Kong, if not everyone shouts and beats them, at least life is not easy.

It's better to keep a low profile before the strength grows, and now Lin Xiaozhi shook his head: "I've never been interested in politics"

Fan Hongwei couldn't help but interject again: "Mr. Lin, Hong Kong is launching a protest to resist the return to the motherland, and I heard that it has been responded to by many people in the entertainment industry, including Cen Jianxun, president of Debao, and Mei Yanfang, the queen of the music world, what do you think about this?" ”

The farce in Hong Kong has become bigger and bigger, and Lin Xiaozhi frowned slightly. He has never dealt with Mei Yanfang, so he can't talk about any friendship. On the contrary, the relationship with Debao President Cen Jianxun is not bad, but unfortunately the head of this goods is kicked by the donkey. After the storm blew in Hong Kong, when Lin Xiaozhi saw him in the newspaper for the first time leading a protest in the entertainment industry, he immediately called him to persuade him not to follow the toss, but no one listened to the donkey's temper, and several crews of Debao who cooperated with the mainland to shoot movies were forcibly repatriated.

Speaking of which, from 85 to 89, the years should be the time when the Hong Kong film industry and the mainland film industry cooperated most closely, and the three giants all had many crews filming in the mainland, and they all got the green light from the mainland government. Even some taboo political histories in the early years have gradually begun to open up the scale, and they are no longer so strict. Golden Harvest also contacted the mainland government to build a cinema in the mainland, and also obtained the approval of the senior management of Sijiu City and the local government, and obtained the approval of the construction of cinemas in Shanghai, Guangzhou, Shenzhen, and Wuhan.

People and politicians followed the toss, and the entertainment industry also jumped up and down, and it was too long, but the result was good...... The more turbulent the uproar, the heavier Hong Kong's losses. Now that the mainland and Hong Kong have terminated their film cooperation, it is just the beginning, and they have closed the door to their future rear market, which is the most deadly thing in the Hong Kong entertainment industry.

"I still say that everyone has their own ideas, and no one can change the choices they make. But I also want to take this opportunity to persuade some people in the entertainment industry to think about what you are doing now, and what can you get in the end? Let's change the topic to another one, right? ”

He had lost the enthusiasm to continue talking.

“…… Okay, can Lin always talk to us about the release time of your new movie? ”

"I can't say for sure yet, but I'm nearing the end of filming for my new film, and if it's made faster, maybe I'll be able to see you in September."

The interview was about to end, and next, Lin Xiaozhi continued to answer some questions from Lin Qing. Basically, it's all related to his new movie, including 'starring candidates,' how much box office he expects to hope, etc., Xinya and Lin Xiaozhi's cooperation, "Cheng Pao" is also happy to reciprocate, and after both parties get what they want, the interview ended successfully.
