Chapter 551 - Hong Kong Film Society (Part II)

The words on the table are also good, at least the atmosphere in the venue is still relatively harmonious in the eyes of those who don't know it.

It is impossible for Zeng Decheng and others to stay by Lin Xiaozhi's side all the time, even if he is one of the biggest names in the entire venue. After a little introduction and conversation, including Zheng Hanyi, who had a few encounters with him before, found excuses to leave, or to meet with others, or to explain the staff's preparations, because with the arrival of Lin Xiaozhi and his party, almost all the people who were invited arrived, and the reception was about to officially begin.

"Lin Sheng......"

Xiang Qiang took the initiative to come over and say hello to Lin Xiaozhi, with the cooperation of 'Shenzhen Studios', the two are also commercial partners.

Because of the community background of the Xiang brothers and Wan'an, Yongsheng's reputation in the circle has never been good, even after becoming bigger and stronger in the past few years, there are fewer friends and more enemies. And Lin Xiaozhi is because the film and television industry in the mainland is often invaded by black gold and gray capital in later generations, so there is no discrimination against community forces like Xiang Qiang, and the process of cooperation between the two sides is also harmonious.

"I was born early......"

Beckoning the waiter to ask for a glass of champagne, Lin Xiaozhi touched him lightly, and talked like an old friend who had known each other for many years, without any hypocrisy on his face, but let Xiang Qiang's tense face soften slightly, and reminded: "Although I guess Lin Sheng may have heard the rumors, but I still remind you that I am afraid that someone will say something about you at today's cocktail party!" ”

Lin Xiaozhi raised his eyebrows slightly, and glanced at Xiang Qiang, who was not very familiar with him, with some surprise, and then lowered his voice and thanked: "Thank you Xiangsheng for reminding me, I did hear some rumors." However, this is Hong Kong in the end, not the official has the final say, but the place where capital has the final say. ”

He didn't reveal much about his confidence, but the only sentence was plain and confident, and he said Xiang Qiang's eyes fluttered for a while, he tasted left and right for a while, his eyes became brighter and brighter, and he looked around and seemed to be scattered looking for friends to chat, but in fact, from time to time he looked at his side or Lin Xiaozhi's more than a dozen people who came with him, and suddenly understood that the young man in front of him must have reached some joint cooperation agreements with more than a dozen film companies in advance, and it is obvious that this agreement is still based on Media Asia.

I couldn't help but move in my heart, and said: "Today's cocktail party can bring together people from the film and television industry, I heard that it is preparing to discuss the establishment of the film association that Lin Sheng mentioned before, as well as some other things. Let those laymen who don't understand movies intervene, and they can't say whether it's good or bad. Lin Sheng is both young and courageous, if he is willing to compete for the position of chairman of the film association, we Yongsheng will support it after all! ”

If he was still surprised by his attitude before, but this time Xiang Qiang's sudden statement really surprised Lin Xiaozhi, because he didn't know what he thought, Lin Xiaozhi was still thinking about how to reply, so he heard Xiang Qiang open his mouth again.

"There are only four people who are qualified to sit in this position in Hong Kong, Zou Wenhuai, the boss of Golden Harvest, Shao Yifu, the boss of the Shaw Brothers, Zeng Decheng, the director of the Film and Entertainment Department, and Lin Shengyou, and the others are not qualified. Zeng Decheng has a public office and is an outsider, not to mention that it is still unknown how many years he can stay in the position of director of film and entertainment, and if the chairman of the film association does it for him, it may not be able to bring any development to Hong Kong films. The sixth uncle is qualified to do it, but the Shaw brothers have been out of production for many years, and he himself may not accept it, and he can also rule it out. I know Zou Wenhuai very well, he is sometimes too cautious and selfish, and if he sits in this position, it may not be a good thing for the entire industry. However, Lin Sheng, you have both qualifications and ability, and Media Asia has good experience in developing overseas markets and mainland markets...... I won't hide it from you, as long as Lin Sheng gives a sentence to ensure that the promise made at the previous Wenhua meeting remains unchanged, Yongsheng will not be targeted, and we Yongsheng will fully support you to take the position! ”

There are still such good things in the world, and Xiang Qiang's sudden statement really made Lin Xiaozhi shocked and happy.

Since Wu Siyuan sent someone to contact him, he has been inquiring, and he really told him some connections that this time was obviously organized by the Broadcasting Authority, but in fact, the Hong Kong government simply wanted to take this opportunity to set up two semi-governmental institutions, the Hong Kong Film Association and the Hong Kong Television Association, to cooperate with some relevant government agencies in the government, to comprehensively supervise, influence and restrict two industries that had not been enough influence by the government before.

The Hong Kong Television Association is just that, there is Shao Yifu who wants to say that their ATV has not been able to shake TVB's hegemony now, even if it can be shaken. Don't forget that just two years ago, the Hong Kong government approved the issuance of two new pay-TV business licenses to two major consortia, headed by Li Ka-shing, the top of Hong Kong's top 10 super-richest people, and Wu Guangzheng, one of the top 10 super-richest people. As long as these two bigwigs who even want to give face to the Hong Kong government are in one day, it is doomed that no matter the Broadcasting Bureau, the Television Association that will be established, or the Film and Entertainment Department, they can only look at people's moods, and they are destined to become a carrot seal, and there is no need to fight for it.

On the contrary, it was the Hong Kong Film Association that he took the lead in proposing the formation, and Lin Xiaozhi was bound to win. Because of the news he received, although the reality is that the Hong Kong government will not let him control the Film Association, it will even attack and suppress his influence and voice in the Film Association. However, there is one thing that the Shanghai Hong Kong government coincides with his idea, that is, to delegate to the film association, which originally belonged to the film and entertainment department, to review film ratings and other powers, and if he can win the power to coordinate theater arrangements, review ticket price increases, supervise artists, and provide welfare guarantees for artists and film companies, this film association will undoubtedly really become a behemoth similar to the American Film Association, which he absolutely cannot give up.

Because of this, he had private contacts and interest exchanges through guò before, and won the support of many people in the circle, including Huang Baiming, Mecca, and Xu Ke, and he was already six points sure that he would reverse the unfavorable situation. If Xiang Qiang and his Yongsheng come out to support themselves again, then he Lin Xiaozhi will definitely be able to stage a big reversal that is destined to break many people's eyes at today's drinking party.

Thinking about it this way, although he also realized that if he promised Xiang Qiang, he would probably take on a lot of trouble, but Lin Xiaozhi still nodded heavily after pondering for a while, "Xiang Sheng has said this, Lin is not hypocritical, I will decide the position of the chairman of the Film Association." If Yongsheng supports me in office, I Lin Xiaozhi will definitely fulfill the promise I made at the Wenhua meeting before. ”

Xiang Qiang stared at him intently, and Lin Xiaozhi stared at him without fear, the two stared at each other in silence for a few seconds, and suddenly smiled at the same time in tacit understanding, and each raised his wine glass and touched it lightly.

"I believe in Lin Sheng's personality and happy cooperation!"

"Happy working together!"

Then, drink it all!

The free socializing time of the cocktail party did not last long, and after a short conversation with Xiang Qiang and a tacit understanding of cooperation, the two quickly separated, and each went to talk to a familiar friend. Without leaving them much time for small talk, they soon saw that the lights in the reception hall dimmed slightly, and then an obvious pillar of light fell in the center of the venue, where Zheng Hanyi of the Broadcasting Authority was standing, and his voice spread throughout the venue along the microphone in his hand and the speakers hanging around the venue.

"Ladies and gentlemen, thank you for taking time out of your busy schedules to attend this reception we are hosting today, and I would like to thank Mr. Tsang Tak Seng in particular. I believe that many friends present are curious about whether there is something to invite you here today. Please forgive us for our inconsiderate explanations before, as some friends speculated, today we invite Mr. Director of the Film and Entertainment Department to follow you, there are indeed two things to discuss with you, namely the establishment of the Hong Kong Television Association and the Hong Kong Film Association led by the government! ”

Speaking of this, Zheng Han paused slightly, as if he wanted to leave a buffer psychological time for everyone present. And indeed as he expected, as soon as he said this, many people in the venue looked at each other for a while, knowing that the meat show was coming!
