Chapter 477: Declaring War on the Four Major Media
Although the press conference has not yet started, no one knows what surprises will be revealed at this press conference.
But witnessing the figure of walking towards the hotel under the escort of the bodyguards, none of the reporters present were worried about coming in vain today, because ......
"Make a lot of money, tomorrow's headlines are there!"
In the crowd, I don't know who was overexcited, and howled loudly. But unexpectedly said everyone's thoughts, this trip was not in vain, it really hit the big news.
Yes, as soon as Lin Xiaozhi came up, he took a tough attitude towards the Hong Kong media giant, the Oriental Press Group, not only released the words that he had been included in the blacklist of the group and would never cooperate, but also issued a 'lawyer's letter threat' to the Oriental Press Group through the "Oriental Daily" and the media who came without receiving the invitation, and directly declared war with the Oriental Press with a tough attitude.
Regardless of whether there is any revelation at today's press conference, this article alone is enough to make countless media present crazy, not to mention listening to the words of Lin Xiaozhi, he did not deny the truth or falsity of the rumors about his acquisition of ATV, which suddenly appeared in the outside world recently, but mentioned that it will also be explained at the press conference.
The ambiguous rhetoric immediately hooked the curiosity of many media people. After he and his party entered the building, they would care about the attitude of the group from the "Oriental Daily", and they shouted straight to the assistants and companions to bring the cameras, microphones, and various interview equipment, and followed them into the Mandarin Hotel.
“…… I have just inquired with the outside statistical staff, and none of the four media that have received our invitation have sent anyone over except for the "Oriental Daily"! ”
Although Lin Xiaozhi agreed to hold a press conference in advance, he still had some time to prepare, and took advantage of this free time, Chen Qiang, who had already contacted the Media Asia personnel who had arrived first, also came to report the situation to him.
Ming Pao and Sing Tao Newspaper did not send anyone here, so Lin Xiaozhi was not surprised. After he met with Jin Yong and Shen Baoxin last night, he didn't believe that the two would not remind Yu Pinhai and kill him. After all, Jin Yong and Shen Baoxin are not related to him, but Yu Pinhai just bought Ming Pao at the beginning of the year and became the new owner of Ming Pao Newspaper. Even if they are a little dissatisfied with his behavior of making enemies, the interests of the three are the same.
As for Sing Tao Newspaper, it is only because Hu Xian has returned from Australia. Lin Xiaozhi, the queen of the newspaper industry, has never underestimated him, but judging from her attitude that she heard about the conflict between him and Oriental Press and Ming Pao from her son-in-law Liang Qiuhao, as well as her own words, Hu Xian's attitude could not be more obvious, that is, watching the fire from the other side, making it clear that the carriage and horses want to see him fight with Oriental Press, Ming Pao, and even Next Media.
As for Next Digital, who didn't receive his invitation, he didn't even learn from "Oriental Daily" and sent people from "Next Magazine" to come with a cheeky face, which made Lin Xiaozhi a little more vigilant in surprise.
"It's okay not to come, there is an Oriental newspaper that has come over, and the results have exceeded our expectations!"
He closed the text of his speech and replied with a smile.
Next Digital was just established last year, and naturally it has not yet been listed. But the other three media giants are all listed companies, on the one hand, he has secretly acquired the shares of the three behind his back, but now the stock prices of the three media are still too high in his opinion, and some means are needed to suppress the stock prices of the three companies, so that he can buy them at a lower cost.
Therefore, at today's press conference, no matter whether the four media will come or not, he has prepared a series of means to make them know that 'those who come out to mix always have to pay back'.
After glancing at the time when it was almost up, Lin Xiaozhi still remembered his previous promise to hold a press conference in advance, and immediately got up and took the speech: "Let's go, the time is almost up, don't let everyone wait!" ”
"Yes!"
Whew......
The dazzling magnesium lamp stabbed Lin Xiaozhi had to squint his eyes, it would be a bit rude to wear sunglasses again at this moment, and thanks to the fact that he was somewhat accustomed to this kind of scene, it didn't affect him much.
Feeling the expectant eyes focused on himself, although Lin Xiaozhi was proud in his heart, he didn't show it on his face, and he cleared his throat before he spoke: "Thank you media friends for taking time out of your busy schedule to attend our press conference today, the upcoming year is undoubtedly the most important period in my life." In this year, the listing of Media Asia, the film group that I have worked hard for and am willing to devote my life to, made me feel for the first time that success is really close to each of us. Although the trip to the north in March was considered by many to be an unsuccessful attempt, it was this attempt that built a bridge of cooperation between Hong Kong films and mainland films, and promoted the formation of the future Chinese-language film industry. ”
"Also in this year, the movie "Resident Evil" shot by myself continued to sell well around the world, and so far, in terms of box office revenue alone, it has brought us at least more than 400 million Hong Kong dollars in net profits, and if you count the income from video tape distribution, it is conservatively estimated that this film will eventually bring at least 600 million Hong Kong dollars to Media Asia. This is undoubtedly a successful attempt by Media Asia Group to expand the international market, and it also allows us to grasp the needs and preferences of some foreign audiences, and I believe that after digesting the experience brought by this film, Media Asia will be able to produce more, better and best-selling movies in the future! ”
"In the past year, Media Asia has improved, and so have I. Although there are always some villains with dark psychology who like to hide in the shadows and put cold guns in the shadows, trying to hinder the development of Media Asia through smear-style propaganda, we have nothing to fear. To make a long story short, friends from the media in the advertising industry, there are several major announcements to announce at this press conference today. ”
"First, in view of the invasion of my privacy by many unscrupulous media led by Next Magazine, a subsidiary of Next Digital Group, and the malicious smears against many industries under my name and Media Asia Group, I and Media Asia will formally file a lawsuit with the High Court against Next Media Group, Oriental Press Group, Ming Pao Group and Sing Tao Press Group for soft violence crimes in public opinion."
Although from Lin Xiaozhi's attitude towards "Oriental Daily" before the press conference, many smart media people had guessed that he might have to fight back, but when he really heard the affirmative answer from his mouth, one by one media reporters rushed to him excitedly as if they had been beaten with chicken blood.
"Lin Sheng, are you planning to sue the four major media in Hong Kong at the same time?"
"There are rumors about the scandal some time ago, how do you reply to the questions of the outside world?"
"Lin Sheng......"
"Excuse me......"
This was just the first announcement, and the press conference was a mess. Thanks to Lin Xiaozhi's consideration of this before, Gao Sen's bodyguards were here, and when they saw this plane, they hurriedly stepped forward to maintain order, and squeezed the reporters with long guns and short cannons away from Lin Xiaozhi, so that they would not affect the press conference that had not yet ended!
Looking at the chaos below coldly, Lin Xiaozhi didn't say a word, and only waved his hand lightly after a while, seeing his attitude, the hundreds of media people in the venue suddenly remembered that he had promised that everyone would have time to ask questions after the press conference, so they closed their mouths and waited for his other announcements.
Seeing this, he raised the speech in his hand with satisfaction and continued: "Second, Media Asia Group has officially reached a cooperation agreement with Beijing Film Group, and in the next year, the mainland will introduce three of our copyright films to test the mainland screening market, of which the first film has been determined to be "Huang Feihong: Top Gun", which will be released within half a month. If this cooperation is successful, next year I will reorganize a Hong Kong film delegation to visit Beijing, and focus on further expanding cooperation negotiations with the mainland. ”
It was another exciting big news, so much so that many media people couldn't help but want to interrupt his speech. However, Lin Xiaozhi ignored them at all, and continued: "Thirdly, Media Asia Group has joined hands with 17 film companies, including Golden Harvest Film Group, Golden Princess Group, Yongsheng Film, Yineng Film Company, and Yingzhijie Film Company, as well as six organizations including the Hong Kong Directors Guild, to discuss the establishment of the 'Hong Kong Film Society'. If the application is approved, the Hong Kong Film Society will be responsible for coordinating theatrical arrangements, film rating review and ticket pricing, as well as exchanges and negotiations with the mainland, so as to strive for as many rights and freedoms as possible for Hong Kong films after the handover! ”
It's still big news, but Lin Xiaozhi still didn't mean to stop, and continued to read: "Fourth, in view of the fact that Hong Kong's local film infrastructure and high land prices have seriously restricted the development of Hong Kong's film industry, Media Asia Group will establish 'Shenzhen Film City Holding Group Company', which will spend at least one billion yuan in the next five years to build a large-scale cinema in Shenzhen." These include about 1.1 million square feet (about 183 acres) of ancient scenic spots, about 400,000 square feet (about 66 acres) of modern urban scenes, and about 500,000 square feet (about 83 acres) of other scenes. At the same time, we will also cooperate with the Shenzhen Municipal Government to jointly invest in the development of the 'Shenzhen Wutong Mountain National Forest Park'. At present, the funds for this investment have been basically in place, and construction will start after the year at the latest! ”
Big news is still big news, Lin Xiaozhi made it clear that today's words are not shocking and endless, it is more like he has not made big news for several months.
"The fifth and most reluctantly last announcement, just three days ago, I myself had already won 7. 0.2 billion Hong Kong dollars, and acquired 43 from Mr. Lin Jianming again. 2% stake in ATV, completed the acquisition of 'Asia Television Limited'. ”
