Chapter 550: Hong Kong Film Society (Middle)

This high-pitched male voice caused a brief silence in the entire venue, and in an instant, countless eyes fell on the owner of the voice!

Lin Xiaozhi!

The name is ordinary and unusual, and he represents a business tycoon in the whole of Hong Kong, a wealthy power with amazing influence and financial resources. Especially in the two major industries of media and film and television, it is now recognized as the uncrowned king from all walks of life. It is no exaggeration to say that it is his appearance that has made the local financial circles, which have never looked down on the film industry, begin to pay attention to this violent industry, and in just the past year, because of Media Asia, Hong Kong has created hundreds of newly established film production companies, and last year alone, nearly one billion Hong Kong dollars of local capital came in, rejuvenating the film industry that had already exuded a little twilight.

Not to mention Media Asia's status in the industry, just the huge media industry chain he has in his hands and the family assets that are still expanding at the speed of light, especially the wealth and power he holds today are mostly from his own business in the past few years, which is enough for countless people to face this young man with an attitude of looking up.

Although Hong Kong is very small, Shao Yifu has not been in and out of drinking parties as often as before when he is older, and Lin Xiaozhi, who is not used to this, can simply push it, so that the two are the biggest figures in this circle, and they have not met once in a few years.

Like everyone else, Shao Yifu's gaze also fell on Lin Xiaozhi when he arrived, looking at him and the dozen or so people who arrived together, his brows furrowed slightly before he moved away.

"This young man is amazing!"

Although it was the first time he met Lin Xiaozhi, Shao Yifu was no stranger to him, or it was difficult for him to know each other now.

Not to mention the news from ATV, it was Lin Xiaozhi's advice a few years ago that made Lin Jianming spend a huge amount of money to poach TVB, which almost ruined half of his life's hard work, and TVB has still not been able to recover its momentum in its heyday. Just since he acquired ATV, relying on the ruthless purge and various radical reforms of great courage, the ratings of competitors have skyrocketed, and now not only surpass them in the ratings of two time periods, but also have a brutal competition with TVB in many time periods, forcing TVB to hold seven executive meetings in just two months to discuss countermeasures, which is a crisis that Qiu Degen's era has also had, and it is also difficult for him not to know Lin Xiaozhi.

For today's sudden cocktail party, many people have heard some rumors, and Shao Yifu is no exception, and even knows much more than outsiders. Not long ago, he learned from his old friend Governor Wilson that London had secretly communicated the appointment of a replacement governor in Hong Kong, and that the famous hawkish politician Chris Patten, who had been rumored for a whole year last year, was appointed as the next governor of Hong Kong.

The news will be officially announced to the outside world by early June at the latest, but it is not difficult for any intelligent person to see how it is for London to appoint as the last governor of a hawkish politician who once clamed in the House of Commons for such extreme anti-China remarks as 'defend Hong Kong by force,' 'compromise or war,' 'a nuclear war rather than lose an inch of the British king's territory,' and 'send the Royal Navy to destroy those Communists/Communists' fishing boats and warships.

At least some forces whose attitude is too close to the mainland may not be so good, such as Lin Xiaozhi, who can almost easily influence the trend of public opinion in Hong Kong and is very close to the mainland.

Although he admired this young man very much, the competitor had a hard time, which somewhat made Shao Yifu, who had been worried about him a lot recently, feel a lot better, so he accepted the invitation to come over in person.

However, as his gaze swept over Lin Xiaozhi and the group of more than a dozen people who rushed to him at the same time, he suddenly began to realize that today's drinking party may not be so easy! Yu Guang secretly glanced at the director of the entertainment department who was still talking to him not long ago, and sure enough, he saw Zeng Decheng's long face stretched longer.

Chen Xunqi, the boss of Yongjia Film Company, Li Xiuxian of Universal Pictures, Xu Guanwen of Xu Brothers Pictures, Zeng Zhiwei, President of UFO, Deng Guangrong, the boss of Yingzhijie, Zhang Guozhong of Arts Entertainment, Mecca, President of Golden Princess, Huang Baiming, President of New Art City, Xu Ke, Xu Ke Studio, etc., no one can underestimate these dozen people, because they are not the bosses of a certain film company, or they represent a force in the industry. Even if Chen Xunqi, Gao Zhisen and Wu Yusen, who are poorly mixed in the group, although their own film companies may not be able to produce one or two movies in a whole year, they can't bear to be one of the few big directors in Hong Kong, not to mention the bosses of many film companies such as Yingzhijie, Yineng, Xinyicheng, Xinya, and Debao.

It is no exaggeration to say that the group of people standing next to Lin Xiaozhi alone covers nearly half of the film production in Hong Kong every year and nearly seventy percent of the box office revenue.

can gather this group of people together, and then look at Lin Xiaozhi who is at the front of the group, it is obvious that he is the main one. In an instant, everyone who heard some of the inside stories of today's cocktail party understood, and they were afraid that there would be a good show to watch.

Collecting all the strange eyes in the entire venue, Lin Xiaozhi sneered in his heart. Hong Kong is such a big projectile land, and the world in the circle is even smaller. Others can hear some rumors, and with his status in the industry with Media Asia, he may not know anything. He heard the rumors before May, and after the invitation to the reception began to be sent out to the outside world, he soon determined from his connections and many friends in the circle that someone might want to take care of himself, how could he not be prepared at all.

He not only came to this cocktail party today, but also came with confidence. Obviously, I can't play it, I want to play yin tricks, he Lin Xiaozhi will let some people know, if you dare to play yin tricks with me, then don't expect me Lin Xiaozhi will follow your rules.

“…… Lin Sheng laughed, this drinking party has just begun, why are you late! ”

After a short silence in the venue, someone finally stood up, but the first to speak as the 'host' was not Director Zeng Decheng of the Film and Entertainment Department, but the nominal initiator of the reception, Zheng Hanyi, director of the Broadcasting Administration.

Lin Xiaozhi glanced at him with a flat expression and nodded at him slightly. There are many officials in charge of film and television in the Hong Kong government, but among the people present today, the only one he has dealt with is Zheng Hanyi.

Li Pengfei, the former head of the Broadcasting Bureau and even the Film and Entertainment Department, has known their family or his grandfather Lin Jili for a long time, but this person is quite vacillating in his political position, and he simply got involved with the mainland during the political storm before. In addition, the Hong Kong Broadcasting Authority and the Film and Entertainment Department do not have as much power as mainland radio and television, so Lin Xiaozhi did not get close to him much. However, this Zheng Hanyi is Li Pengfei's former subordinate, because the two have met a few times before, but they are not unrecognizable.

"It's good that it didn't affect everyone......"

The atmosphere of the cocktail party was cold for a moment because of his arrival, but the organizers obviously would not sit idly by like this, Zheng Hanyi smiled and introduced some people around him, especially a few officials he didn't know about him. However, Lin Xiaozhi's gaze only changed slightly when he introduced Zeng Decheng, the director of the film and entertainment department, although it was the first time he saw the director of the film and entertainment department who was called 'Mr. Horse Face' by the outside world because of his long face, but this person is not small in Hong Kong.

With a master's degree in international relations and a master's degree in comparative literature from the University of Hong Kong, he was a well-known leftist journalist in Hong Kong before taking up government posts. Interestingly, during the political turmoil in the previous two years, he was very active, but he changed his political stance and talked about the people/masters, and even wrote a manuscript to praise the famous 'Sparrow Operation'.

Lin Xiaozhi had heard about him, and his only impression of this 'Mr. Horseface' was that he was a standard politician who had experienced it and 'grew up'.

"The person who invited me didn't tell me that I would come here with Director Zeng, it seems that this is not an ordinary drinking party!"

Lin Xiaozhi unexpectedly took the initiative to reach out and shake him, but as soon as he spoke, there was a hint in his words.

Zeng Decheng's eyes flickered, and the film and entertainment department had also dealt with Lin Xiaozhi before, but he didn't come forward in person, so this was the first time the two met. For a moment, he felt that the eyes in the venue were focused on his side, and he smiled very gracefully, "There are some things to be put forward at the cocktail party for everyone to discuss and discuss, and we have to thank all the big bosses for taking time out of their busy schedules to enjoy their faces, the rapid development of Hong Kong's film and television industry in the past two years has also made us public officials shine, and the bonus at the end of the year has also increased a lot!" ”
