438 [Public Opinion War]

"Didi Di Di ......"

After Kang Jianfei participated in the screening of "Provincial and Hong Kong Flag Soldiers", before he came out of the theater, Zeng Bolin's pager began to scream non-stop.

Pagers have been around in Hong Kong since the 70s, but the people who have pagers are basically police officers and prostitutes, and they can receive the signal and follow the message. It is precisely because of the fear of being misunderstood as an improper profession that women are basically not equipped with pagers, otherwise they will be pointed at when they walk on the road.

As for Big Brother, it came out a few years ago in some parts of Europe and the United States, but that thing has not yet entered Hong Kong, and even if you buy it abroad, you can't use it.

The current pager also does not have a Chinese display function, Zeng Bolin borrowed the phone of the theater after receiving the pager, and after a while, he returned to Kang Jianfei and whispered: "Boss, there are more than ten troublemakers on the TV station, and Manager Huang and Manager Zhong are dealing with it." Now there are many reporters at the door of the TV station, and Manager Zhong reminds you not to go over for the time being, so as not to be entangled by reporters. ”

Kang Jianfei originally wanted to go to the TV station to see the re-examination of the beauty pageant, but when he heard that there were a lot of reporters blocked there, he immediately smiled and said, "What are you afraid of, go over and take a look." ”

After Kang Jianfei finished speaking, he walked into the cab and started the car, Zeng Bolin could only sit helplessly in the passenger seat, and the boss drove him as an assistant every time, so I am afraid that Zeng Bolin will be alone in Hong Kong.

Ten minutes later, Kang Jianfei had already driven his Cadillac to the opposite side of the street in Phoenix Terrace, and he could see a lot of people around him when he saw it from the car window.

"Alin, go over and see what's going on." Kang Jianfei found a parking space to stop, and after giving Zeng Bolin an order, he sat in the car and watched the show.

Zeng Bolin pretended to be a busy passer-by and walked over, but he saw at least 20 reporters gathered at the door of the television station, some interviewing and some taking pictures.

"Abel. What happened? Zeng Bolin asked an old man who was watching.

The old man also spoke interestingly, pointing to a few middle-aged women holding banners and saying: "Those eight women didn't sign up for the beauty pageant, so they came to the TV station to make trouble, and they didn't pee to see what they looked like." If they can all be elected Miss Beauty, I can be Mr. Bodybuilder, old man, ugly and weird! ”

Suddenly, there was a commotion in the crowd at the door of the TV station, but it was Zhong Jinghui, the deputy general manager, who came out, he raised his hand and pressed down: "Please calm down, we can talk about something slowly......

Zhong Jinghui's words were not finished. A slightly beautiful middle-aged woman stood up, pointed to Zhong Jinghui's nose and said, "What are you doing on Phoenix Terrace, you obviously said that there is no age limit to sign up, why don't you let us be shortlisted now!" ”

It is clear that he is making trouble in front of him, and there must be someone behind it. Otherwise, there wouldn't be so many journalists coming in a short period of time.

More than a dozen aunt-level women surrounded Zhong Jinghui, and Deputy Manager Zhong suddenly felt quite stressed. He stepped back and distanced himself from them. said: "Of course, everyone can apply, but we have selection criteria......

The woman interrupted Zhong Jinghui again: "Allowing us to sign up for the competition, but saying that we don't meet the beauty pageant standards, you are discriminatory and fraud!" ”

"Yes, it's discrimination, it's fraud!" More than a dozen other middle-aged women shouted.

Zhong Jinghui patiently explained: "We have selection criteria, and so many people sign up for Miss Hong Kong every year. Not everyone will be able to make the cut. ”

"Sophistry!" The woman turned to the reporters and shouted, "I heard that in this Miss Oriental beauty pageant, no one over the age of 30 is eligible to be shortlisted, and Phoenix TV has deceived the citizens of Hong Kong." They are the real discriminatory aunts! ”

Zhong Jinghui saw that he couldn't explain clearly, and he didn't bother to play the piano to the cow, so he turned around and went back to the TV station building.

"Don't let him go, you have to make it clear today!" The woman grabbed the corner of Zhong Jinghui's clothes and began to splash it.

Seeing the clash at the scene, those reporters suddenly became excited and took pictures frantically.

Zeng Bolin almost understood the situation, and then crossed the street to report to Kang Jianfei.

Kang Jianfei laughed and said: "Who is so kind, he actually helped to hype up the beauty pageant for Phoenix Channel." ”

After another ten minutes, two nearby patrol policemen came to maintain order. But where can the two little policemen beat the combat effectiveness of more than a dozen aunts, and they don't even know where the police hat flies between pushing and shoving, so they hurriedly call for police support.

"Woo-la-woo-la-......"

A moment later, the siren sounded, and a carload of police came directly.

"These people obstruct official business, all of them are arrested!" The little policeman, whose face was scratched with a few blood marks, shouted angrily to his colleagues who rushed to support.

Those middle-aged women just took the money to make trouble, but they didn't have the courage to squat in the bureau.

……

……

"Manager Fang, look at today's newspaper." Hong Qi proudly put a few newspapers in front of Fang Yihua, Phoenix TV was embarrassed this time.

"I've seen it!" Fang Yihua said without a smile that she neither rejected nor appreciated this kind of little trick.

Today, the headlines of the entertainment pages of nearly 20 newspapers are all news about Auntie's big trouble on Phoenix Channel. The picture of "Industrial and Commercial Daily" is particularly powerful, it is actually a close-up of the moment when Zhong Jinghui's glasses were knocked off, and the embarrassment was so embarrassing that Zhong Jinghui didn't have the face to go out.

Is it for women's rights or against women? 》

"Phoenix Terrace staged a farce, aunt vs. SIR"

"No age limit is just a gimmick, there is another shady beauty pageant"

"TV station beauty pageant hype has no bottom line, auntie is angry and angry"

《……》

All kinds of headlines are very eye-catching, and readers are easily misled by the article, thinking that Phoenix TV is a fraud and exposed, and a group of aunts are angry and block the door, and they call the police to clear the scene under the exhaustion.

In the next few days, due to the unknown situation in other newspapers, many followed the trend and reported, questioning why Phoenix TV wanted to deceive the public, and some people even scolded Kang Jianfei in the newspaper for using women's rights to make money, but in fact, the essence was to discriminate against women and use women as a tool for him to make money.

Kang Jianfei, who was very optimistic at the beginning, also saw that the situation was not good at this time, and several rightist newspapers led by the "Industrial and Commercial Daily" also saw that the situation was not good. It's completely reversing black and white to discredit Phoenix Terrace.

Phoenix TV, in the chairman's office.

Zhong Jinghui had a few marks on the blood marks scratched by his fingernails on his face, and he smoked a cigarette and said: "Let's hold a press conference to clarify, it's not a way to make trouble like this." ”

Huang Xizhao also echoed: "It's best to invite the police who were present at the time to testify, I have been blocked by reporters when I go out these days, and I can't work normally." ”

Kang Jianfei shook his head and smiled: "It's useless, there is an idiom called reversing black and white, and there is an idiom called preconceived." These two words add up, we can't explain it clearly, and there are always some people who refuse to believe the truth. ”

Zhong Jinghui said: "I'm not afraid to say it clearly. When I heard that someone was making trouble that day, I had already asked the photographer to record the whole thing, as long as the tape was made public. ”

When Kang Jianfei heard that there was a video, he immediately laughed: "Manager Zhong, you still have a hand, so don't hold a press conference." Prepare a million legal fees first, and directly sue the newspapers that took the lead in discrediting Phoenix Channel. In particular, we must bring down the "Industrial and Commercial Daily"! ”

The Industrial and Commercial Daily is a rightist newspaper worthy of its name. Its chairman, He Shili, once represented the Republic of China as the chief representative of the Military Staff Committee of the United Nations Security Council. Ever since Phoenix TV was defined as a leftist media by the Taiwan Information Bureau, the "Industrial and Commercial Daily" has written articles criticizing Phoenix TV from time to time, and Kang Jianfei has long been unhappy with it.

This time, "Industrial and Commercial Daily" was like a mad dog, catching Phoenix TV and biting it, Kang Jianfei couldn't bear it anymore and decided to close the door and beat the dog.

In fact, there is no need for Kang Jianfei to have a hard time with the "Industrial and Commercial Daily", and the Sino-British negotiations will be concluded in a few months. After determining the return of Hong Kong in 97, He Shili, who was familiar with current affairs, directly suspended the "Industrial and Commercial Daily", and Kang Jianfei was useless no matter how big the trouble was now.

On the evening of May 15, 1984, before the start of the TV series. The one-minute prime-time announcement was issued: "In view of the fact that a newspaper has wantonly smeared this station a few days ago, this television station demands that the relevant newspapers stop the rumor-mongering behavior within three days and publicly apologize on the main pages of their newspapers, otherwise this station will resort to the law to seek justice and set the record straight...... Those who maliciously spread rumors and smear this station -- "Industrial and Commercial Daily", "Sing Tao Daily", "Heung Kong Commercial Daily", "Hong Kong Metropolis Daily", ......"

As soon as the announcement of Phoenix TV came out, it immediately caused an uproar in the Hong Kong media, because Phoenix TV wanted to sue 12 newspapers in one go.

"Industrial and Commercial Daily" issued an article to counter the words: "The so-called announcement of Phoenix TV is just a threatening language after the reason is exhausted. Hong Kong is a rhetorical self-requisition. Newspapers, as public media, have the right to report social news events, as well as to discuss and criticize social immorality......"

Leftist newspapers such as Wen Wei Po have already joined the battle group and enumerated the bad deeds of rightist newspapers such as Gongshang Daily, saying that they are "depriving others of their freedom of speech under the banner of freedom of speech."

Seeing that Hong Kong's left-right newspapers were fighting again, Ma Chengkun of "Oriental Daily" couldn't help but invite Kang Jianfei out for afternoon tea.

"Brother, what the hell is going on this time, why did you fight with more than a dozen newspapers at once?" Ma Chengkun asked amusedly.

Kang Jianfei sighed: "I can't help it, Phoenix TV was listed as a leftist media by the Taiwan Information Bureau because it said some good things for the mainland during the Sino-British negotiations." Last year, the rightist newspapers such as the "Industrial and Commercial Daily" only occasionally made a mockery, but this year, I don't know if Lu Dao received instructions from the Taiwan authorities, and every now and then he scolded Phoenix Taiwan every once in a while, and even scolded me for it. ”

"Are you sure you can win the case this time?" Ma Chengkun asked.

The Ma family's "Oriental Daily" is also a rightist newspaper, but since Ma Chengkun and his father were imprisoned by the Taiwan authorities, although they have only been locked up for a few months, the color of "Oriental Daily" has gradually become less "blue."

Of course, Ma Chengkun's father and uncle are still doing business in Taiwan, and "Oriental Daily" does not dare to speak ill of the Taiwan authorities.

Ma Chengkun is very interesting in this way, in the 90s, in order to allow his father to return to Hong Kong, he set up a newspaper to donate money to the British government. As a result, the British government took the money and did not do anything, and did not revoke the arrest warrant for his father, Ma Chengkun was angry and shook out all the inside stories of the bribery through the "Oriental Daily", which caused an uproar in Britain.

Since then, Ma Chengkun has completely fallen out with the Taiwan authorities and the British government, turned to support the Celestial Empire regime, and even became a member of the National Committee of the Chinese People's Political Consultative Conference (CPPCC).

Kang Jianfei drank black tea and said: "I have evidence in my hand, I won't mention whether I can win the lawsuit, but the report of the "Industrial and Commercial Daily" is untrue, so don't mix with your newspaper, Brother Ma." ”

"I know it in my heart," Ma Chengkun said with a smile, "Actually, I asked you to come out today, brother, to ask if you have any eyebrows in your new book?" After the serialization of "Ethereal Journey" ended, the sales of "Oriental Daily" dropped by more than 10,000 copies. ”

Kang Jianfei laughed and said: "It's fast, it's fast, you will give the manuscript when you are done with this time." ”

Ma Chengkun was afraid that Kang Jianfei would drag it out, so he clapped his hand and said: "Then it's decided, brother, after your new film "Love Saint" is released, I will go to DreamWorks to receive the manuscript in person." ”

Kang Jianfei joked: "Why do you look like a debt collector?" ”

Just when Kang Jianfei and Ma Chengkun were joking, the agreed three-day deadline for Phoenix TV had arrived, and 12 media outlets, including "Industrial and Commercial Daily", really received a lawyer's letter from Phoenix TV.

At the same time, Phoenix Channel announced that it would hold a press conference on a later date, at which it will announce the end of the re-examination of the "Miss Oriental Beauty Contest", and let the 30 shortlisted beauties appear on the stage to meet with the media.

Of course, the video will definitely be released at the press conference to prove the innocence of Phoenix Channel, and to hype up the beauty pageant while slapping the face.

……

Just when Phoenix Channel announced that it was about to hold a press conference, Fang Yihua was confused about the current public opinion war, she called Hong Qi and asked, "How much money did you give those newspapers?" One by one, they are so hard! ”

Hong Qi couldn't figure out what was going on, and he guessed: "Maybe those newspapers are scribbling for sales." ”

Fang Yihua didn't figure out until half a year later that "Bao Qingtian" was originally filmed by the TV Production Department of Oriental Dreamworks, which was sold to the mainland under the name of Phoenix TV, and detonated the movie-watching boom across the country.

After the incident was reported by a leftist newspaper in Hong Kong, it once again attracted the attention of the Hong Kong branch of Taiwan's Central News Agency. The Taiwan authorities finally had no patience with Phoenix TV, believing that Phoenix TV was a leftist television station that cooperated closely with the mainland, so they contacted leftist newspapers in Hong Kong to jointly attack Phoenix TV.

Not only was Kang Jianfei's Phoenix Terrace unlucky, but even Jin Chaoqun, the star of "Bao Qingtian", was implicated and ordered to go to the Information Bureau within seven days for review, otherwise he would be banned from entering Taiwan. (To be continued......)
