Wow!

As Lin Xiaozhi's last sentence fell, the venue, which could barely be kept quiet, suddenly became like a noisy and noisy vegetable market, and the magnesium lights flashed violently again, much more intense than when he entered, so that even Lin Xiaozhi, who was used to it, had to blink his eyes to relieve the discomfort of being stimulated by the bright light.

"Lin Sheng, you just said that you have officially completed the acquisition of ATV, right?"

"The mainland has introduced the movie "Huang Feihong"? But wasn't this movie invested and filmed by Xu Ke Studio? How did it become a work of Media Asia again? ”

"You just mentioned that you will file a lawsuit with the High Court against the four major media for violating your personal privacy, so Lin Sheng, so you don't deny the scandal reported in the media some time ago?"

"Media Asia will spend a huge amount of money to invest in cinemas in the mainland? Have you considered the political and economic aspects? As far as I know, even though we are only a body of water away from Hong Kong, there are still big differences and restrictions between our two places. ”

"Lin Sheng, may I ask if your acquisition of ATV this time is in your personal name? Or in the name of the Media Asia Group? ”

"Just now Lin Sheng mentioned the establishment of the 'Hong Kong Film Association' and received the support of Golden Harvest and other companies, is this true?"

……

"Rest easy, I promised before, there will be some time after the press conference to answer your questions, and today because we have a press conference half an hour early, there will be plenty of free time for questions and answers! I will answer some questions from your media friends in detail, so let's start with this friend......"

As usual, the first reporter, Lin Xiaozhi, did not choose the few people who looked at his "Cheng Pao" eagerly, but chose a reporter from the "South China Times" not far away, and gave him the right to ask the first question.

The person whose name was called was a young female reporter in her twenties, and when she found that Lin Xiaozhi pointed at him, she immediately looked happy, and squeezed forward despite the sweat, trying to reach his side as much as possible with the microphone in her hand.

"Lin Sheng, you are here, I am Gu Xinyu, a reporter from the South China Times, just now you mentioned that Media Asia will sue the four major media, is it because of the scandal some time ago? There are also some scandals about you that are rumored in the outside world, what is Lin Sheng's response to this? ”

Lin Xiaozhi raised his eyebrows slightly, he didn't expect that the first reporter he ordered would just ask for big news without giving face, and sure enough, it is not easy for you to let media people give face in Hong Kong, because people only want to sell big news in their eyes.

However, in the face of this question, he had already thought about how to respond, so he didn't find it tricky, and replied briskly: "There are various rumors about my relationship reported by the media some time ago, and I myself don't comment on this. This involves my own personal privacy, and there is no law in Hong Kong that means that public figures have no right to privacy, so you can choose to ask questions, but I also have the right not to answer. As for the reasons mentioned by this young lady to sue the four media outlets, I can tell you bluntly that it is not entirely because of this. ”

"Media Asia has been collecting evidence of malicious smears and attacks on myself and my industries, especially the Media Asia Group, by these four media outlets over the past period of time. At the same time, many artists under our name Media Asia also reported that many bad media such as "Next Magazine" and "Oriental Daily" were suspected of following and reporting falsely, which had a destructive impact on their personal reputation and life. Our legal department at Media Asia has consulted with a number of well-known lawyers in Hong Kong, and it has also proved that these four media outlets have violated many laws in the past period. Being bullied to the door, Media Asia has always been passively angry, and will only fight back more resolutely, and we have now submitted a complaint to the High Court......"

Although he did not directly answer the question about the scandal about himself, he used the excuse of personal privacy to block the question, which was actually a tacit acquiescence.

Not only did he know this, but many of the media people present didn't understand it at first, but they immediately understood what he meant as soon as they recalled.

vaguely relieved, with his 'recognition', the situation of Zhou Huimin's mother and daughter is much better, and he can be regarded as having an explanation for her, at least the third party's infamy will be much less, and even if others are held accountable, they will scold him for 'stealing' or 'not greedy enough', but this infamy is nothing to him at all.

After answering this question, he immediately clicked on another reporter, "The next question, this media friend!" ”

"Hello Lin Sheng, I am Chen Jialiang, a reporter from Ta Kung Pao. I would like to ask you what prompted you to buy ATV, and I was also present at the press conference at the end of last year when you announced the acquisition of Debao, and I remember when someone asked me at that time, you replied that the acquisition of Sing Pao was only for advertising the company's films, not to emulate 'Mr. Murdoch'. So I'm curious, what exactly prompted you to acquire ATV? ”

This question made Lin Xiaozhi also ponder for more than ten seconds before answering: "I think it's probably because 'film' and 'vision' have never been separated, and the production of movies and TV series actually has a lot in common." Media Asia has become the largest film group in Hong Kong, and in order to maintain a strong momentum of development, bring higher economic returns to many investors who believe in and invest in Media Asia stocks, actively expand overseas channels and develop the upstream and downstream industry chains vertically and horizontally, which is what we need to do at Media Asia. The acquisition of ATV will not only provide access to ATV's publicity channels and artist resources, but also provide more practical opportunities for our content team developed by Media Asia. Therefore, the acquisition of ATV is a good thing for both Asia and ATV, which can more comprehensively integrate the resources in the hands of both parties and make each other more resilient. ”

"It is true that on this day last year, I did not have any experience in this area, but after studying in the past year, I have some understanding!"

After acquiring Cheng Pao last year, he did have to hide his clumsiness and did not dare to let people compare him with Murdoch, the international media predator, but this year he is more confident and powerful, and there is no need to hide his clumsiness anymore. At this time, he already owned Media Asia, ATV and Cheng Pao Newspaper Group, as well as a family bank and many other properties under his name, even if he wanted to be modest, it would only be counterproductive.

Because he is already a big man who can really influence the Hong Kong film and television industry and the media!

The third question naturally had to be given to "Cheng Pao", and after waiting for a long time for a reporter from Cheng Pao, he immediately asked: "Lin Sheng, may I ask if your acquisition of ATV this time is in your personal name?" Or in the name of the Media Asia Group? Acquisition in cash or equity exchange plus cash? Or is it some other way? You just mentioned that Media Asia will spend a huge amount of money to build a large cinema in the mainland, we all know that Media Asia has acquired a number of companies this year, will investing in another cinema affect the funds? ”

In the end, it was a family, and the reporter of "Cheng Pao" obviously understood this, so he unceremoniously asked a few questions at once, which made the others next to him envious. This is a treatment that they can't enjoy at all, after all, Lin Xiaozhi is the boss of Chengbao, so he naturally has to take care of his family.

"At the beginning of the year, I bought part of ATV's shares in the name of Kowloon Investment Group. Now it is re-invested, still in the name of Kowloon Investment Group. The acquisition was made in cash, not in exchange for shares. As for the question of acquisition funds asked by this media friend, Media Asia does not have this problem. On the one hand, because Media Asia's net profit this year is well over HK$1 billion, we have ample cash flow to complete any acquisition. And considering the positive impact of this mega cinema on our entire Hong Kong film industry, we will consider bringing in other film companies to co-invest in the construction. At present, in addition to us, there are seven film companies such as Golden Harvest, Yongsheng, and Yineng interested in participating in the investment, and we are still negotiating further cooperation plans, and I believe that there will be a final decision in a month! ”

Another reporter named by him had just stood up, and immediately asked: "Lin Sheng, I would like to ask if the funds for your acquisition of ATV came from the Bank of Kowloon?" ”

"No, all the acquisition funds came from my own private assets."

"Once Upon a Time seems to be a movie of Xu Ke Studios, right? This film has been approved by the mainland for screening, does this mean that the mainland market will be fully open to your Media Asia Group in the future? ”

"First of all, the copyright of "Once Upon a Time" belongs to Media Asia Group and Xu Ke Studio, because when this film was filmed, we at Media Asia were the investors. In addition, this friend's question also has some problems, first of all, although I initiated the visit to the mainland in March, we are not the only one who went north. At that time, we did not achieve much success in our contacts and negotiations with the mainland, but there was a lot of sincerity between the two sides. Mainland films wanted to learn from our successful experience in Hong Kong, and we also hoped to open up the mainland market and obtain more filming resources, so after returning from the mainland, the follow-up contacts and negotiations between us and the mainland were still ongoing, and finally facilitated the release of three films including "Wong Fei Hung" in the mainland. Undoubtedly, the mainland side is also trying to change, but after all, it involves institutional problems, so we should patiently give the other side some time and leave the problem to the market to solve! ”

……

Forty minutes passed quickly, and Lin Xiaozhi also answered a lot of questions. Except for questions related to his personal privacy, he will not reply, and almost all other questions can be answered in detail by him. Therefore, when he glanced at the time on his watch and announced that the press conference was over, not many people on the field were dissatisfied, on the contrary, most of them were excitedly clenching the tape recorder in their hands, eager to go back quickly, and write the N more revelations interviewed today into a report, so that their newspapers and magazines were a big hit.

Undoubtedly, it was a successful press conference.
