The time turned to May 1, 1998.

At 6 o'clock in the evening, reporters gathered in the conference hall on the 8th floor of Kowloon Shangri-La Hotel, Hong Kong, and Jade Emperor Entertainment Co., Ltd. and Tianxia Publishing Co., Ltd. signed an agreement on the adaptation of the comic "Fengyun" TV series.

After the contract was signed, Chen Lin, chairman of Jade Emperor Entertainment, gold medal producer, and famous movie star, and Ma Rongcheng, chairman of Tianxia Publishing Co., Ltd. and famous cartoonist, jointly issued a brief statement.

The statement pointed out that Jade Emperor Entertainment spent 30 million yuan and joined hands with the famous cartoonist Mr. Ma Rongcheng to create a beautiful and fantasy martial arts masterpiece "Storm and Clouds Dominate the World". Mr. Ma Rongcheng, the author of the original book, will personally serve as the screenwriter.

As soon as the statement was announced, the huge amount of money of 30 million was immediately attracted to the on-site fryer.

The current market of tens of millions is already a big investment, and companies without strength simply don't have the courage to spend 30 million on a TV series.

Don't think that TV dramas are very profitable, every industry has risks, the TV drama industry is extremely risky, more than two-thirds of the episodes cannot be broadcast every year, these investments are completely wasted, and even if they can broadcast profitable TV series, there are only a few every year.

Chen Lin saw a statistic in 2004, which said that the total number of TV dramas in China reached 12,000 episodes in 04, but only about 5,000 episodes could be broadcast in prime time, and about 7,000 episodes of TV dramas were left to lose their money. Someone gave a simpler data, the annual investment of TV drama production companies can reach 5 billion to 6 billion yuan, but the annual TV drama market recovery is about 2 billion, so the whole situation of Chinese TV dramas is a loss.

1998 is a special year, after the financial crisis, major film and television companies are reducing investment, and Jade Emperor Entertainment, a small company established less than a year ago, actually went the opposite way, not only did not compress, but also increased investment.

In fact, if you think about it carefully, the current scale of Jade Emperor Entertainment is not small in China, not only does it have the ratings masterpiece "Meteor Garden" and the ace variety show "Happy Camp", but this year it plans to shoot three TV series, one of which has been started in Beijing.

Some media reporters who are more concerned about the development of Jade Emperor Entertainment also know that on May 3. That is, the day after tomorrow, an ace variety show "Two Days and One Night", which claims to be not at the level below "Happy Camp", is about to be broadcast.

Many reporters' memories of Jade Emperor Entertainment are still stuck at the opening ceremony in November last year, and everyone has the impression that Jade Emperor is just a small company that has been established for less than a year.

In the blink of an eye, a small company was able to invest 30 million in a huge work, and the speed of development made the reporters present not only staggered.

For a while, reporters were interested in Jade Emperor Entertainment and asked questions, but unfortunately Chen Lin was not ready to return to everyone's questions.

"Thank you for coming, I still have important things to deal with, this is the end of the press conference, we will have the opportunity to meet in the future, and we will answer your questions about it then, thank you. Xie Lu Xie ...... "Chen Lin hugged his fists and apologized to the reporters again and again, and then left with Mr. Ma Rongcheng.

The reporters tried to catch up, but they were all stopped by the bodyguards.

The reason why Chen Lin did not respond to reporters' questions is because of his own considerations, a TV series has a publicity cycle of 2-3 months from preparation to release, and some are longer, and the news revealed to the media in each period is somewhat particular, and the crew of "Fengyun" is still in the preparatory stage, so it is not appropriate to disclose more substantive content to the media, appropriately maintain mystery, and attract the attention of the media continuously and sustainably.

7 p.m. Chen Lin and bodyguard Zhang Lei went to the InterContinental Hotel in Tsim Sha Tsui together, where there was a grand fashion show tonight, and the organizers invited the Jade Emperor's artist Lin Zhiling to take the stage as the finale of the night.

Chen Lin happened to be in Hong Kong, so he naturally wanted to cheer for his people.

At the front desk of the hotel, Chen Lin and the two showed the invitation, and entered a special elevator under the guidance. Just as the elevator was about to close, a balding man in his 50s walked in.

The bald man was also holding a cluster of flowers in his hand. He was followed by two bodyguards.

Chen Lin glanced at the bald man, this person is not old-hearted, he is in his 50s and has a heart to mess with flowers, which really makes him admire.

At this time, he inadvertently saw a small note pinned to the rose in the bald man's hand. It reads: Dedicated to the beautiful Miss Zhiling.

Miss Zhiling can't be Lin Zhiling, right?

Yes, this elevator is a dedicated passage to the fashion show on the 6th floor, and you can't enter without an invitation. This man is also here to watch the fashion show. Needless to say, the flowers must have been given to Lin Zhiling.

As soon as Chen Lin saw the name on the note, he immediately realized that it should be Lin Zhiling, but although he understood, he didn't move, because the bald man might be a fan of Lin Zhiling.

It is normal for beautiful women to be loved by everyone, Chen Lin didn't care about it and soon stopped paying attention to bald men.

"Ding!" When the sixth floor arrived, as soon as the elevator opened, the bald man and the two bodyguards walked out of the hall first, followed by Chen Lin and Zhang Lei.

When you get out of the elevator, you will see two welcome waiters, and under the guidance of the waiters, walk to the left for about 10 meters, turn a corner, and enter a hall.

This is where the fashion show takes place. At this time, the hall was full of people, there were more people, and most of the people watching the show were well-dressed, either celebrities or wealthy businessmen, and there were many reporters.

In the center of the hall was a long catwalk, with crowds sitting on either side of the catwalk.

Soon, under the guidance of a staff member, Chen Lin and Zhang Lei found their position, the position of the two is next to the catwalk in the middle of the first row, this position is very good, usually the first row is full of people with status and status.

As soon as Chen Lin sat down, a young woman in her 30s, wearing a girly pink dress, with a pair of peach blossom eyes, and good skin maintenance, glanced at him a few times, and then recognized him.

"Lin Baobao?" The young woman called Chen Lin in surprise.

Hehe, recognized by the fans, Chen Lin nodded and smiled friendly at the young woman.

"Wow, I'm so happy." The young woman seemed to be really a fan of Chen Lin, and the idol sat next to her to make her happy like a little girl, and then she couldn't wait to say: "Lin Baobao, do you know the way, I like you so much, you are more handsome than on TV." ”

"Thank you for your compliment." Chen Lin smiled and thanked him.

The young woman's name is Zhang Min, she really likes Chen Lin very much, Lin Baobao is her dish, and she is the companion she fantasizes about in her sleep.

At this moment, Lin Baobao was sitting beside him within reach, and he could even hear his breathing and feel his body temperature, Zhang Min's heart was like a deer.

The more I look at it, the more I feel that Lin Baobao is so cute, I really want to touch him, I really want to eat him in one bite, and before I know it, Zhang Min's watery peach blossom eyes are becoming more and more charming......

Chen Lin soon noticed the strange eyes of the young woman around him, he was not a fool, nor was he a junior brother, so he naturally understood that this young woman was interesting to him. (To be continued......)
