I woke up early on the third day, and just got up Lin Xiaozhi got good news, Zhou Taiyan finally gave CCTV's affirmative reply, CCTV believes that there is no problem with the investment of 30 million in "Water Margin", the co-production plan was officially launched, and the two sides agreed that the TV series will be tentatively filmed for 70 episodes.

However, regarding ATV's conditions for participating in "Romance of the Three Kingdoms", CCTV did not immediately agree. CCTV, as the most important propaganda unit in China, has a lot of fears about whether to allow Hong Kong enterprises to participate in shares, even if it is only a subsidiary, even if Lin Xiaozhi vaguely proposed to be willing to contribute more than 100 million, and no matter how CCTV uses the money, Zhou Taiyan has only one reply, 'The station needs to hold a meeting to discuss it, and wait for the instructions of the superior leaders to reply'.

As for whether it can be done in the end, Lin Xiaozhi really has no bottom in his heart. With CCTV's special status, no one can figure out whether the mainland will relax on this issue.

After less than three days of rest in Hong Kong, Lin Xiaozhi is busy again.

The ancient Egyptian temple located in Shenzhen Cinema has been set up, although the pungent smell left by the decoration has not yet dissipated, it is reasonable to say that it is not suitable for immediate use, but in order to finish filming the foreplay as soon as possible, the crew still endured the unpleasant smell and went into battle, and the efficiency was extremely fast, and it only took more than a week to shoot several scenes in the ferry pier and the temple.

After busy with the filming of these scenes, Lin Xiaozhi and the crew were not in a hurry to leave Hong Kong and go to Egypt to continue the filming of the later scenes, because at this time, the 12th Hong Kong Film Awards, which has been hyped by the media in Hong Kong and Macao for several months, is finally about to be unveiled!

March 8, the annual International Women's Day, is not an exaggeration to say that this day is a day of shame for many avant-garde and freedom-loving feminist activists in Hong Kong, because even after many years of fighting, since the opening of Hong Kong, even the self-proclaimed 'democratic' British government has never designated it as a legal holiday in Hong Kong.

If it were a previous year, maybe some Hong Kong women's rights activists could see the remarks of some Hong Kong women's rights activists in the media bombarding the government, but it is obvious that no matter how much they are dissatisfied today, no one in Hong Kong will notice it, because the long-awaited 12th Academy Awards ceremony will be held at the Hong Kong Cultural Center in the afternoon of this day.

In the master bedroom of the original super villa 'Genesis', which has been renamed 'Crystal Pavilion', at No. 23 Shixun Road, Taiping Mountain, Lin Xiaozhi stood in front of a huge floor-to-ceiling mirror with great interest, letting two pairs of delicate and skillful hands fall and lift on his body, and said with a smile: "Since it is the Academy Awards ceremony, there are countless handsome celebrities and handsome guys in attendance, I say that I don't need to dress up so finely, anyway, I can't compare to Fa Ge and Andy." You two dress me up so hard, you won't be afraid that I will be in the limelight at the Academy Awards! ”

Therefore, the old saying that people rely on clothes and horses rely on saddles is still very reasonable. Lin Xiaozhi's appearance is actually not handsome, at most he is just a middle-aged asset. But at this moment, he changed into a specially tailored dark blue suit with a light-colored shirt, and then lined his relatively strong figure with occasional exercise, which also showed masculine charm.

Li Jiaxin was helping him caress his suit to see if there were any wrinkles, while Zhou Huimin carefully checked his hairstyle and light makeup on his face, the two women heard that the former twisted his waist angrily, and the latter gave him a blank look, "You are so beautiful!" ”

Not only Lin Xiaozhi, but the two of them have also finished putting on makeup.

I saw Li Jiaxin wearing a black off-the-shoulder long dress evening dress, with slightly curly hair flowing shawl, obsessed with collecting diamond jewelry, although she did not wear earrings because her husband did not like it, but whether it was the valuable pink diamond necklace around her neck or the flower-like jewelry with blue diamonds on her chest, she was the most beautiful Hong Kong sister in the past and her wealth and favor after marriage.

Zhou Huimin is different from her, because she is pregnant with her second child, her lower abdomen has been slightly bulging at this time, so she wears an egg-yellow loose dress and a little clean light makeup. Compared with Li Jiaxin, who loves gemstones, she didn't have too many small pieces on her, only a pair of silver bracelets on her hands that she had worn since birth were replaced by a platinum bell bracelet given by Lin Xiaozhi last year, and a wedding ring on the ring finger of her left hand inlaid with a rare seven-carat yellow diamond, which can be regarded as a small make up for some of her regrets that she did not receive a grand blessing in the same way.

I just made a big fuss at the Academy Awards ceremony last year, although I was also invited this year, but Lin Xiaozhi still declined the red carpet arranged for him by the Academy Awards, and he could bring his family members to enter in advance, plus the live broadcast was his own TV station, so Lin Xiaozhi was ready to take his two women to the 12th Academy Awards ceremony tonight.

Originally, Zhou Huimin's physical condition that she is now pregnant with her second child is not suitable for attending that kind of occasion. However, out of guilt, and because she wanted to follow along, Lin Xiaozhi also brought her along.

He actually wants to open it, rather than letting his woman bear the infamy of being a junior, it is better to let himself, who already has a bad reputation such as "wealthy gentlemen", first sit back and watch "flower heart" and "amorous", anyway, he is thick-skinned and his own strength is getting stronger and stronger, after last year's media war, it can be determined that there are few local media who dare to tease his tiger whiskers again, but he is not afraid of some infamy.

Zhou Huimin checked very carefully, and after a while, he noticed that the light makeup on his face might be too light because of the relationship that he had wiped with his hands before, so he pressed his face fixedly, took the foundation and said, "Don't move, there is a place to spend, make up some makeup." ”

Naturally, it is indispensable to see people wearing makeup in the entertainment industry, including women and men, but Lin Xiaozhi is still not used to it, and his eyebrows are raised: "Why didn't I see where the flowers were, don't make up too much, I always think that men's makeup is a little weird." ”

"You're thinking wrong."

After a long time to finish the makeup, Zhou Huimin looked at her work with satisfaction, and when her husband walked the red carpet, she would definitely not be worse than those male stars. She smiled: "Maybe you will go up to win the award, today's live broadcast is not only facing Hong Kong, Macao and Taiwan, but also South Korea, Japan and Southeast Asia. ”

The live broadcast rights of the Academy Awards have been taken away by ATV under Lin Xiaozhi's name, but it does not mean that others can no longer contact and cooperate. For example, TVB sent a camera crew to follow the award ceremony throughout the whole process, but they could not broadcast it live, and could only broadcast it in the news event in the form of clips.

TVB failed to compete with ATV and continued to monopolize the live broadcast privileges of the Academy Awards. However, compared to it, there is another TV station in Hong Kong this year that is also interested in the holding of the 12th Academy Awards, which is currently owned by the Asian Satellite TV Broadcasting Company run by Superman Li Zekai.

In fact, as early as March 23, 1991, Satellite Broadcasting Co., Ltd. was formally established, and Li Chaoren thought it was time to try his youngest son's strength, so he appointed Li Zekai and Ma Shimin as executive vice chairmen and himself as chairman. However, although he trusts his son's ability, just in case, he specially hired Chen Qingxiang, who has been the general manager of Hong Kong TV for many years, to serve as the chief executive officer of Satellite TV to assist Li Zekai.

With the support of the Li family's strong financial resources and family connections, in May of that year, Satellite TV officially launched in May of that year, covering not only Chinese mainland and Taiwan Province, but also as far as the Middle East, barely being the first satellite TV station with the widest coverage in Asia.

Due to the blockade of ATV and TVB, the two local free-to-air TV groups, satellite TV stations had to adopt a similar approach to the operation of many TV stations in North America, focusing on news programs, while most of the other programs were purchased from overseas TV companies, and even following ATV's example of buying the English broadcast rights of many popular foreign TV dramas and variety shows at very low prices (satellite TV was suppressed by Wharf TV, and the Hong Kong government did not allow it to produce and broadcast Cantonese programs at the beginning).

Because of the publicity in the early months, it has had a lot of influence in Hong Kong, Macao, Taiwan, the mainland, and even Southeast Asia, Japan and South Korea, and other countries, in order to get more advertising business from all over Asia, satellite TV has sent a team public relations awards association since January to try to get its live broadcast privileges. After being obstructed by ATV, Li Zekai simply went out to banquet Lin Xiaozhi in person, and finally after he paid 3 million Hong Kong dollars for the broadcast rights of the 12th Academy Awards and retained the ATV logo, Lin Xiaozhi relented and agreed to sell the live broadcast from other cities to satellite TV stations.

It is also thanks to the fact that Li Zekai is not a speculator who can calm down and do business, so Lin Xiaozhi made this decision with ease. Through some channels, he already knew the news that this little Superman had just made a little success in satellite TV, and he wanted to find a buyer to sell it.

Speaking from the heart, Lin Xiaozhi is very happy with the Li family, or more precisely, Li Zekai's single-minded desire to sell satellite TV.

Wu Guangzheng, the son-in-law of the ship king Bao Yugang, is also worth 100 billion yuan, ranking among the top ten richest people in Hong Kong, but he took great pains to get the business license of Jiucang TV Station, and tried his best to publicize the Hong Kong government to prevent the Li family from entering the market.

But how effective?

As soon as Li Chaoren came out, he said that he mobilized two major consortia with deep backgrounds, British and Chinese, to put pressure on the British government in Hong Kong, and although he failed to get a cable TV license, he got a satellite TV license. Last year, Li Chaoren personally hosted a banquet for the new Hong Kong Governor Chris Patten, and a few days later, the Hong Kong government, which had been resolutely forbidding satellite television to produce Cantonese programs, immediately made a 180-degree turn, and the Songkou Satellite Television Station was also able to produce Cantonese programs. Shortly after February this year, it was announced again that satellite television stations, which were not originally able to operate pay TV programs, could also operate pay channels by cooperating with other TV stations.

TVB did not bird the Li family and refused to let satellite TV grow. Lin Xiaozhi also strictly ordered ATV to block satellite TV and never cooperate with satellite TV stations.

But it was still Li Chaoren's hand, he first announced that the large-scale housing estates and buildings built and managed by Hutchison Whampoa and Cheung Kong were strictly forbidden to install cable TV from Wharf Television, and at the same time, Li Chaoren did not know what price to use to persuade Zheng Yutong, the boss of New World, who is also the king of Hong Kong's real estate, to let him also agree to install only satellite TV dish antennas and indoor systems in his real estate, which forced Wu Guangzheng, who is also one of the top ten richest people in Hong Kong, to have to give in. After the satellite TV station was banned twice by TVB and ATV, it finally reached a cooperation with the sworn enemy Jiucang TV, which shows Li Chaoren's business ability and the terrifying strength of the Li family.

The strength of the Li family is too strong, and the wealth, connections and influence of Li Superman's half-century operation have made satellite TV have the potential to surpass TVB and ATV. Thanks to Superman who is more of a speculator than his father, he only thinks about selling it at a high price and making a fortune in other industries when he clearly sees that satellite TV has a promising future. Otherwise, with the strength and influence of the Li family, Lin Xiaozhi is even worried that ATV will face all-round competition from satellite TV stations in less than three years.

As for Murdoch, the media predator who may swallow satellite TV in the future, Lin Xiaozhi really didn't take him seriously. This old man is used to being domineering abroad, and how can he understand the complexity of the problems between Hong Kong, Taiwan, and the mainland, especially in this era, there is no fairness, only the camp theory, if you are close to Taiwan Province, you will be blocked by the mainland, and if you are close to the mainland, the Taiwan authorities will not block satellite TV because of News Corporation. If the old guy really thinks that he can be left and right like in his previous life, sooner or later he will be blocked. And once it is blocked, satellite TV is basically abolished.
