The newspaper that had just finished reading was thrown on the table, and the newspaper touched the pen holder on the table, and the ceramic pen holder shook and then fell to the ground, and shattered into a piece of ceramic after a crisp crackling sound.

The sound of the pen holder shattering made several Media Asia employees who passed by his office tremble.

Since the new issue of "Next Magazine" magazine came out a week ago, although Lin Xiaozhi rarely reads "Next Magazine", there are still people in Media Asia who buy it. There is a way that good things don't go out, and bad things spread thousands of miles. Zhou Huimin originally worked at New Asia, so as soon as her photo was published in the newspaper, some old employees of Media Asia soon recognized her, Lin Xiaozhi's former secretary. Now that someone recognized her, this secret was naturally no longer a secret, and sure enough, her identity was exposed by the media a few days later.

The sound of the pen holder breaking made Lin Xiaozhi frown, although he was in an angry mood at this time, he would not make the move of dropping things, so it was purely unintentional for the newspaper to knock down the pen holder just now. However, it can make him lose his temper, or the new newspapers sent today have made him very unhappy, especially "Oriental Daily", "Ming Pao" and "Sing Tao Daily", which are three newspapers that are known as the four major newspapers in Hong Kong along with "Cheng Pao", not only have the recent reports become more and more excessive, but there are even a large number of life photos of Zhou Huimin who are followed and secretly taken. The most excessive is the "Oriental Daily", after he arranged for Zhou Huimin's mother and daughter to transfer, in order to get more reports about her, he sent a paparazzi to wander near Zhou's mother's residence every day, which seriously affected the lives of the two elderly people of the Zhou family.

Whether the other party is out of attack and smear the opponent, or simply for the news, this kind of next move has caused an evil fire in Lin Xiaozhi's heart to go straight up. He knew it was time for him to fight back.

Bringing a broom from the corner to sweep away the fragments of the broken ceramic pen holder, Lin Xiaozhi did this, and quickly picked up the phone on his desk and dialed it to the secretary's office.

"Secretary's office, help me call Mr. Chen and Director Sima to come to my office!"

"Okay, chairman, please wait!"

When he hung up the phone, it didn't take long for the phone on the table to ring, "Chairman, Director Sima will go over soon, but Mr. Chen is not in the office, according to his secretary, it seems that he received an invitation from Mr. Yu to go to the theater!" ”

This Mr. Yu is Yu Zheng, the current president of Debao Cinemas, a strange woman of thirty-eight years old. She looks neutral and dresses very well, although she has been questioned by the outside world as homosexual, but the private life of her subordinates Lin Xiaozhi never asked, anyway, this woman who can be valued and promoted to vice president by Cen Jianxun, the former president of Debao Cinemas, has good ability, after Cen Jianxun's resignation, Debao Cinemas not only operated in an orderly manner in her hands, but also the 'new standardized cinemas' that he planned with Cen Jianxun also showed initial results with Yu Zheng's efforts, which is good.

Chen Qiang was not in the company, which made Lin Xiaozhi a little surprised, and when he hung up the phone, he immediately dialed Chen Qiang's phone with his private phone.

“…… Boss, what's the matter with me? ”

"I heard that Mr. Yu is looking for you?"

"Yes, I just separated from Mr. Yu. She invited me to visit Admiralty Cinemas before and wanted me to see the current attendance rate of "Resident Evil"! It seems that she can't stand the pressure from the outside world, and she wants to paint "Resident Evil" again! ”

Since its release in September, "Resident Evil" has been screened in Debao Theaters for nearly two months. With the continuation of the screening time, the box office has slowly climbed to the current 59 million Hong Kong dollars, and it is about to break through the 60 million mark. In normal times, a movie is shown for two months. Although it is rare for a film to be shown for more than two months in Hong Kong, it is not uncommon, and there are several films that are shown for three or four months in Taiwan every year.

But when this happened to "Resident Evil", it caused a lot of criticism in the industry, firstly, because its director, Lin Xiaozhi, has not had a good reputation recently, and many media have seized on this point to make a big fuss, and "Ming Pao" even opened a special issue to criticize him for making this movie 60 million at the box office. Second, it was also Media Asia who did not open this popular movie to other private theaters in Hong Kong for screening, which offended many people in the industry, so he wanted to raise 60 million Hong Kong dollars at the box office for this movie, and the pressure from the outside world would be so great. In addition, in the past two weeks, the screening theater line has basically not been able to eat dividends, which can be regarded as a loss of screening, and the Debao theater line naturally has some opinions.

Although Lin Xiaozhi on the other side of the phone did not speak, Chen Qiang could feel that his face on the other side was definitely not good-looking through the phone, and hurriedly said: "Of course, I vetoed it." ”

Lin Xiaozhi was in a better mood when he heard this, and Yu Zheng would definitely not come to him, who is both a film director and the boss of the company, to complain. So it has always been a roundabout curve, trying to make Chen Qiang reflect with him. At the administrative level, Chen Qiang is not only the president of New Asia, but also the president of Media Asia, so he vetoed Yu Zheng's side, even if he was unhappy, he could only continue to screen.

"I still say that the honor of Hong Kong's first film to grossing more than 60 million Hong Kong dollars is very important to us at Media Asia. Mr. Yu is a woman after all, it's just a little thin-skinned, you have to go to Debao Cinema more in the past few days, once the box office of the movie exceeds 60 million Hong Kong dollars, we will immediately draw this movie! ”

"Yes, you can rest assured boss at this point!"

"By the way, I have a few more things for you to do. Although the outside world has always questioned the cooperation between us and the mainland film industry, we Media Asia have never admitted this matter, and I asked "Cheng Pao" to arrange an interview with you recently, and then you can pretend to admit it inadvertently, and by the way, we will also release the news that "Huang Feihong" invested and filmed by Media Asia will be released in the mainland next month. I'll ask the secretariat to print out a list for you, and you'll have time to contact and coordinate it in the next two days, and I'll invite the people on the list to sit down in two days! ”

"No problem, boss. I'll be back at work right away! ”

Almost at the same time as he hung up the phone, there was a knock on the door outside the office, and after Lin Xiaozhi didn't raise his head in response, Sima Jie, the legal director and vice president of Media Asia, walked in.

"Boss, you're looking for me?"

Wearing a brand-name suit on his body, in the end, he is a lawyer known as 'Sven scum', Sima Jie pays great attention to his personal image, and in terms of pure image, even Lin Xiaozhi feels that he is more like the president and chairman of a large group than Chen Qiang and Xian Qiran.

"Sit ......"

Lin Xiaozhi pointed to the sofa next to him, and his attitude was more cordial than Chen Qiang, the president of Huanya.

It's no wonder that Sima Jie is not only from Lao Xinya and has been with him for a few years, but also helped him complete several heavyweight acquisitions and many legal proceedings in the past two years. Following the example of the Penguin Group in China in later generations, the legal department of Media Asia is a biting dog that he deliberately cultivated, and whoever asks him for trouble will be released to bite people, especially in Hong Kong, where the legal system imitates the West, and the legal department led by Sima Jie has been invincible since its establishment.

Sima Jie nodded and sat down, for Lin Xiaozhi to let him come over, he was keenly aware of some of his intentions, and asked directly: "Boss, what are your orders?" ”

"Alright, there are no outsiders here, don't pretend to be confused with me. It's been a week of noisy outside, don't tell me you don't know anything! ”

gave him a few words of reprimand, Sima Jie saw that he seemed to be in a good mood, so he smiled and said, "It seems that the boss called me over and is ready to fight back!" ”

It's time to fight back.

For his cleverness, Lin Xiaozhi just snorted lightly with his nose and didn't nod, he sat back at his desk, rubbing his chin with his right hand, he already had a belly case in his heart, but said: "Counterattack? Yes, there is this idea, but it is difficult for the media to deal with, especially the opponent is the entire media industry in Hong Kong. You're a lawyer, tell me if I want to solve it with legal means, is it possible? ”

"Impossible!" Sima Jie replied very resolutely, "The media is the uncrowned king of Hong Kong, controlling public opinion, and can easily influence the government's decision-making and the attitude of the public. This time the incident is different from the previous 'Chen Baiqiang incident', the opponents this time were only some second and third media media, and we also spent a lot of effort to win the lawsuit, and deliberately avoided the most ferocious "Oriental Daily" that was not prosecuted, and only used it to knock the mountain and shock the tiger. This time, if you really want to use legal means to threaten it will not have any effect, we will sue them for violating privacy at most, the crime is not painful, even if the lawsuit is won, the court will sentence the other party to pay hundreds of thousands of compensation, compared to the reputation and influence brought by hype, I dare to say that as long as the boss threatens to sue, the vast majority of the media will be happy to accompany us to fight! ”

After a pause in the movement of rubbing his chin, Lin Xiaozhi glanced at Sima Jie, who had hidden a sentence, and did not ask again.

Sima Jie did not say a word in his words just now, Chen Baiqiang's scandal case was made out of nothing, but he Lin Xiaozhi was a real thing, and his confidence was a little weaker, even if he sued those media for defamation, it is estimated that the judges and jurors in the court would not buy it.

After thinking for a while, he was about to speak, but suddenly his head recalled what Sima Jie had just said, and Lin Xiaozhi suddenly smiled dumbly: "You, you've been with me for so long, and you're still hiding your head and tail with me." Obviously he wanted to persuade me not to go against those media, but he still hid it! ”

Sima Jie's face relaxed when he heard this, "Aren't I afraid that the boss will make you dizzy?" ”

He really doesn't agree with Lin Xiaozhi starting a war against the Hong Kong media industry for a 'conclusive' scandal! Because this time the involvement is too wide, except for Lin Xiaozhi's own "Sing Pao", almost all newspapers, weeklies, and magazines in Hong Kong are involved. Lin Xiaozhi is really ready to sue, that is, to hit the stone with an egg, to be outnumbered, and it is difficult to win. That's why just now he pulled out the example of the last 'Chen Baiqiang incident' and persuaded Lin Xiaozhi to give up working against so many media.

Sima Jie's unexpectedly cool answer made Lin Xiaozhi smile slightly, since "Next Magazine" took the lead in shaking out his ****, to "Oriental Daily", "Sing Tao Daily", "Ming Pao" and other major newspaper giants followed up and fell into the ground, although he has been silent and cold this week, it does not mean that he will not cause anger and resentment, and he will find someone to settle this account. However, what Sima Jie said is also reasonable, and if he is prosecuted, he will have to deal with the entire Hong Kong media industry, not to mention that he is Lin Xiaozhi, even Li Chaoren, the richest man in China, is here, and he has to calculate whether this account will be a profit or a loss.

Therefore, he has been thinking about how to get the field back for the past week, and after a few days, he really came up with a way to pay tribute to him, and he called it 'killing monkeys and making an example of chickens'. Just as it meant on the surface, it grabbed a few big monkeys and killed them, and put eye drops on the chicks who were screaming.

"I understand your concerns, and naturally it is impossible to act against the entire Hong Kong media community. But someone rode on my head and slapped me hard, and I couldn't just turn over. I came to you today because I want you to help me do a few things, I don't feel at ease when others do this, you are good at the law, help me do it as soon as possible......"
