In the explosive news that ATV continues to flow out, Lin Xiaozhi spent 8 million to buy 40% of ATV's shares, and his influence naturally cannot be compared with it. Under his deliberate control, the impact of the change of ownership of New Asia was temporarily limited to the ATV building, and few outsiders knew the news.

Lin Xiaozhi was not happy to spend the first year in Hong Kong, not only because Hong Kong's New Year did not have the taste of the mainland, but compared with usual, the Lin family only had a few special New Year's dishes on the table on this day. There is another important reason, that is, on the 28th of the 4th of the month, the Independent Commission Against Corruption officially announced the prosecution of Lin Jili and Lin Jiannian, the two pillars of the Kowloon Lin family.

The Independent Commission Against Corruption (ICAC) claimed that it had commenced an investigation after receiving a corruption report earlier, and that it had collected a large amount of relevant evidence over a period of seven months, and that Lam Pak-yan and Lam were charged with a total of three charges, including conspiracy to bribe a public officer. Also indicted are former senior executives of the Hong Kong Stock Exchange, Chen Xiongsheng and He Zainan, each involved two to three counts. According to the Independent Commission Against Corruption, all the alleged charges occurred between 1985 and 1987. In the afternoon of the same day, the four were tried in the Eastern Magistrates' Courts, and Lam Hau-yee temporarily acted as the deputy general manager of the Bank of Kowloon.

Lin Xiaozhi inquired, although the amount involved is not high, but because the high-level scandal of the Hong Kong Stock Exchange in the past two years has been too big, I am afraid it will be difficult to apply for bail in a short period of time, and some have tossed.

Hong Kong's New Year's flavor is not heavy, the fourth day of the new year on the fourth day of the new year to resume office, except for a very few people who have not been able to rush back to their hometowns to worship their ancestors, basically the staff of New Asia have returned to the company to work.

“…… Mr. Lin, it is not yet possible to determine which one contacted Miss Ye, but I am sure that there is indeed a film company that is in contact with Miss Ye."

Zheng Fei stood respectfully in Lin Xiaozhi's office, he had just returned from Taiwan, and was sent by Lin Xiaozhi to contact the ATV distribution channel in Taiwan, although the results were average.

Lin Xiaozhi bought the shares of New Asia in the hands of ATV, which has spread within New Asia, and now almost everyone knows that their young president has become a veritable company boss, and they are the parents of dozens of people. This Zheng Fei can also be regarded as Lin Xiaozhi's henchman, so he is naturally very respectful in front of him.

Lin Xiaozhi frowned, and his fingers lightly tapped on the table. He still believes Zheng Fei's words, although Zheng Fei can't come up with any evidence to prove it, but he is responsible for contacting and distributing New Asia's films, and he has his own contacts and networks in the circle, and he has indeed heard some rumors, and some film companies are eyeing Ye Yuqing, the cash cow that has brought tens of millions of dollars to New Asia.

"Zheng Fei ......" Lin Xiaozhi thought for a while before he spoke: "You go and inquire, you don't need to know the other party's price, but I want to know in the shortest possible time, which film company is chasing Ye Yuqing." There is nothing in Taiwan, ATV was originally very average in Taiwan, but it is really not good, and we will continue to cooperate with the United States and Asia in the new movie "Color is Empty"

Under his personal supervision, the post-production of "Color is Empty" is basically nearing completion, and it is not surprising that the post-production can be completed in these two days. With the completion of post-production, the release of the film is imminent. I still remember that in the previous life, "Color is Empty" was hotly sought after in Taiwan, and he also moved the idea of taking the opportunity to launch a sub-film company in Taiwan, so before the Chinese New Year, he sent Zheng Fei to Taiwan to contact ATV's distribution channels to discuss cooperation.

However, Lin Xiaozhi looked too highly at ATV's channels in Taiwan, and several theaters cooperating with ATV over there were concentrated in the Tainan area, where the market was small. It is important to know that the largest box office market in Taiwan is in Taipei, of which the box office in Taipei City alone accounts for more than one-third of the total box office in Taiwan. Lin Xiaozhi was naturally dissatisfied with giving up most of the profits and cooperating with those channel providers established by ATV in the early years.

"Yes......" Zheng Fei left his office in response, he had just left with his front foot, and his office door was knocked, Lin Xiaozhi didn't look up, and directly said "Come in", and then heard a hearty laugh.

"Lin Sheng......"

This voice was very familiar, Lin Xiaozhi was stunned for a moment, then raised his head to look, and his face was suddenly full of smiles, "Director Zheng, sit down." What have you been busy with lately, and I haven't been able to see you? ”

The person who came was Zheng Zeshi, who hadn't shown his face for a long time

Zheng Zeshi's face was a little embarrassed, and his smile was relatively reluctant. At the end of last year, he invested in the filming of a movie "Fat Cat Wandering" with the main entertainment film company, but unfortunately the box office of the film in Hong Kong was not ideal, and the videotapes also sold very averagely. In order to repay the favor owed by the artist, he spent most of the next few months in Southeast Asia to publicize, especially in Singapore and Taiwan, where the literary atmosphere is strong.

Of course, these Zheng Zeshi are naturally reluctant to say it, after all, it is not a glorious thing. He smiled and sat down on the chair next to him, and then said: "The screenwriter who wrote the script "Maoshan Taoist Fighting Zombies" for Xinya last year, and recently created a sequel to the movie. I was going to get a script for a sequel for New Asia, but ......"

Lin Xiaozhi raised his eyebrows slightly, needless to say, judging from Zheng Zeshi's reaction, he guessed that eighty percent of them had not been negotiated.

Sure enough, I heard Zheng Zeshi say: "Well, because of the lack of money, the screenwriter also blames me, I didn't know what Lu Daolin Sheng meant at that time, but he was a step late and was bought by Jiahe at a price of 400,000 yuan."

He smiled bitterly, although he also knew that his old friend Huang Ying owed a huge amount of usury in order to repay the money, but he was still a little dissatisfied with his behavior of selling the script to other film companies at a high price.

Lin Xiaozhi was a little confused at this moment, he got up and poured a cup of black tea for Zheng Zeshi and brought it over, his head turned quickly, and he began to think about what Zheng Zeshi came here for today

Did you come here again to resign from the position of production director of New Asia with him?

Lin Xiaozhi's heart suddenly sank, and he was a little uneasy about Zheng Zeshi's sudden visit. New Asia has just been established, and now is the time to employ people. Ye Weixin, a rookie director, Lin Xiaozhi, values it so much, not to mention Zheng Zeshi, an all-rounder who can act, write and direct. So when Lin Xiaozhi bought the shares of New Asia from him, he proposed to resign as production director, but was retained by Lin Xiaozhi, and he was unwilling to miss such an all-rounder who is very beneficial to the development of the company.

But recently, Zheng Zeshi has not come to the company to report for a long time, and Lin Xiaozhi has not seen others for a month, and only received a few calls from him, saying that he has something to do and went to other places. This attitude, if it is said that he deliberately did it in order to resign, seems to explain it.

Damn, isn't the current New Asia a little less attractive to these celebrities besides money?

Dissatisfaction and unwillingness filled his heart in an instant, Lin Xiaozhi was still silent on the surface, but his smile was a little reluctant.

Zheng Zeshi obviously also found out, but because he missed the script of "Maoshan" because the company, he felt a little guilty, and hurriedly said: "Lin Sheng, don't be angry." I asked for another script from a friend today, but my friend also had a request, and he wanted to direct the film. By the way, my friend, you must know that it is Gao Zhisen, the director of the recently popular "Family Carnival" "

Gao Zhisen

Lin Xiaozhi's eyes lit up, and he knew this person. In the history of Hong Kong film, he is widely regarded by many filmmakers as one of the top screenwriters and directors in Hong Kong, especially good at comedy shooting, and has always had the reputation of "the king of Chinese New Year files" in Hong Kong. It is said that in the last few years of the Golden Age, top film companies such as Yongsheng, Golden Harvest, Metropolis, and Xu Ke Studio were unwilling to compete with him for the Lunar New Year, and he had repeatedly occupied the champion of the Hong Kong Lunar New Year.

Not to mention, this year's "Family Carnival" directed and filmed by him is an example, this movie has been full of hegemonic momentum since it was released on October 1. After earning a box office of 940,000 Hong Kong dollars in the first week of release, as of the last time he paid attention to it two days ago, the box office of this movie has reached more than 15UU more than 15 Hong Kong dollars. Not surprisingly, "Family Carnival" is likely to become the first film to exceed 30 million at the box office this year.

Zheng Zeshi was able to get the script from him, Lin Xiaozhi was happy, and immediately said: "Director Zheng, as long as there is no problem with the script, your friend should not ask for tens of millions of investment in the movie, I can sign it now, you also know that New Asia's family background is not as good as Jiahe, Xinyicheng and the like." ”

Seeing that he agreed, Zheng Zeshi smiled more genuinely on his face, shook his head and said: "You don't need to invest tens of millions, this script is called "Water Margin Laughter", which is also a very interesting script. Since Lin Sheng doesn't object, then I'll reply to him, let's make an appointment to meet and talk about cooperation as soon as possible."

"I'm bothering you, Director Zheng, about this."
