714 [Queen of the Press]
The Miss Oriental and Miss Hong Kong beauty pageant finals have ended one after another, and the two beauty pageant champions, Weng Hong and Chen Farong, have naturally become the limelight of major newspapers and magazines.
This year's treatment of Miss Oriental is obviously different from the past, although the bonuses and prizes have not decreased, but the support from TV resources has dropped a notch.
In the past, the top three of Miss Oriental had the opportunity to play the heroine and important supporting actress in the new film of Phoenix Channel, and the new film was specially planned for beauty pageants, this kind of TV series was jokingly called "beauty pageant" by Hong Kong audiences.
But this year's "beauty pageant" plan was canceled, and only the champion Weng Hong played the heroine in Phoenix Channel's anti-piercing drama "City Swordsman", and the runner-up Wu Yongwei and the third runner-up Wan Qiwen can only play ordinary supporting roles in the film.
This change must be related to the new general manager Liang Shuyi, but she is not reforming indiscriminately.
After years of development, Oriental Entertainment Agency has a group of actors who specialize in TV, and the representative of these people is also known as the "master of the family" and "the master of the family" of Phoenix Channel.
These Hua Dan and Xiaosheng have accumulated a lot of contacts and popularity: their connections are in Dongshi Company and Phoenix TV, and popularity refers to the popularity of the audience.
Therefore, whether it is because of the personal relationship between the producer and the director, or from the perspective of ratings, Oriental TV Production Zuò Company will choose the TV stars they are familiar with as the hero and heroine when filming new dramas.
Nowadays, there are more and more so-called "Hua Dan" in Phoenix Terrace, and the competition is extremely fierce on weekdays. There is a quota for the annual large-scale zuò dramas of the East Television Company, and a quota is allocated to the "beauty pageant". Then there will be fewer resources left for the big production, which is not conducive to the development of Dongshi Company and Phoenix Channel, and will reduce the loyalty of first-line old-school actors to the company.
Huang Xizhao was serving as the general manager of Phoenix Terrace. This contradiction has been exposed, but his personality is somewhat indecisive, and he has not carried out reforms until he leaves office.
The newly appointed Liang Shuyi did not have any burden, and directly abolished the "beauty pageant", and in the future, only the champion of Miss Oriental could directly play the heroine, and the runner-up and third runner-up could only slowly climb up from the small supporting roles.
The so-called "beauty pageant" was originally set up to attract beautiful women to sign up for Miss Oriental. Now the Miss Oriental beauty pageant is on the right track. Even if it is abolished, it will not have much impact.
……
"Notes on Tomb Robbery" is still serialized in the Oriental Daily, and after the first story in the newspaper ended, fans were even more excited about the novel's movie of the same name.
Right now. Kang Jianfei, who has been immersed in making movies, suddenly announced that he would spend 230 million Hong Kong dollars to package the acquisition of Yulang International's "Daily Daily", "Daily Express", "Star TV", "Financial Daily", "Fresh Weekly" and Tiantian Color Printing Company.
As soon as this news was confirmed, it immediately caused a sensation in public opinion. Naturally, the paper media industry is crying wolf.
The Hu family of the Sing Tao Group has a deeper resentment towards Kang Jianfei. They have been staring at this piece of fat for more than two years, and seeing that the melons are about to ripen, Kang Jianfei actually ran out to pick peaches halfway.
The Peninsula Hotel, meeting rooms.
Under the flickering magnesium lights, Kang Jianfei signed his name, then put down his pen and stood up to shake hands with Huang Yulang, and the two smiled at the camera.
"Mr. Kang, you have bought newspapers and magazines on a large scale this time. Do you want to enter the media industry in an all-round way? ”
"I've been in the media industry for a long time, and Phoenix TV and the pictorial "Painting King" are also media. This time it was just a few more newspapers and magazines. ”
"Mr. Huang, it is rumored that Yulang International has a debt problem with Yan zhòng, may I ask if this is true."
"I'm sorry, but this is a trade secret and I can't disclose it. However, I reserve the right to pursue the malicious rumors of some people. Before signing the contract, Mr. Kang had sent someone to fully investigate and understand the situation of our company. Yulang International is certainly no problem, and this is the basis for our cooperation. ”
"Since Yulang International has no problem, why would Mr. Huang still sell his company?"
“……”
The reporters surrounded them, and although all kinds of tricky questions came out, Kang Jianfei and Huang Yulang still answered them one by one very patiently.
Huang Yulang wanted to use this to publicize that Yulang International had gotten rid of the financial predicament, and Kang Jianfei's more than 200 million Hong Kong dollars was enough to revitalize the remaining companies of Yulang International.
Kang Jianfei is just a simple propaganda campaign, and he has a big move later, which is to integrate these newspapers and magazines he just bought with Dark Horse Comics Company and "Painting King" pictorial to form a large-scale media company integrating publishing and distribution.
"Mr. Kang, do you want to have a meal together?" After entering the elevator, Huang Yulang asked with a smile.
Kang Jianfei politely refused: "No need, I have an appointment at noon." ”
"In that case, then I won't bother." The smile on Huang Yulang's face has never stopped, obviously he is in a very happy mood, and he has obtained more than 200 million funds at one time, which makes him breathe a rare sigh of relief after worrying about money for more than a year.
Li Meifeng followed Kang Jianfei with Wen Jiàn, and was about to talk after getting into the car, but Kang Jianfei's mobile phone suddenly rang.
The call was from Ma Chengkun: "Brother, don't say anything about such a big thing, I'll have a treat tonight and celebrate you?" ”
"Another day, there's an appointment tonight." Kang Jianfei excused himself, he knew what Ma Chengkun was looking for him to do.
At present, the number one selling newspaper in Hong Kong is "Ming Pao", the second selling is Ma Chengkun's "Oriental Daily", the third selling is Kang Jianfei's "Tian Tian Daily", the fourth selling is the Hu family's "Sing Tao Daily", and the fifth selling is Huang Yulang's "Hong Kong Daily".
"Oriental Daily" has always cooperated harmoniously with Kang Jianfei's Oriental Culture Group Company, not only Kang Jianfei's serialized novels in "Oriental Daily", but also the star scoops of Phoenix Channel, DreamWorks, and Popular Records are all revealed to "Oriental Daily" for reporting and publicity.
Because they both have the word "Oriental" and have always cooperated happily, people who don't know still think that "Oriental Daily" is also Kang Jianfei's industry. Kang Jianfei also thought about buying or investing in "Oriental Daily", but every time he tried it, Ma Chengkun always played haha and perfunctory.
Now that Kang Jianfei has bought a large number of newspapers and magazines, not only will his novels not be published in "Oriental Daily" in the future, but it is also impossible for so many star information news of the Oriental Group to be given priority to "Oriental Daily".
It is precisely because of this that Ma Chengkun can't wait to invite Kang Jianfei to dinner and discuss, and Kang Jianfei also deliberately avoids it.
……
Sing Tao Newspaper Building, Wan Chai Road.
Hu Xian, who is 57 years old, looked at the photo of Kang Jianfei shaking hands with Huang Yulang in the newspaper, and was so depressed that he couldn't speak for a long time.
35 years ago, 22-year-old Hu Xian took over the helm of Sing Tao Daily, when the newspaper was still in a state of loss, and it was she who single-handedly turned the situation around, and finally made Sing Tao Newspaper listed in Hong Kong, and now it has almost monopolized Hong Kong's real estate advertising.
Although the circulation of "Sing Tao Daily" is not as good as that of "Tian Tian Daily", its annual profit is nearly half more than that of "Tian Tian Daily", and the main factor is the windfall profits of real estate advertising.
Hu Xian's assistant is an old aunt who has been with her for more than 20 years, and this old aunt has a bad idea and said: "Mr. Hu, didn't we see Kang Jianfei and Zhao Yazhi walking together last week, and Zhao Yazhi is still holding a child?" Why don't you let the reporter from the evening newspaper take a few photos, so that the majority of Hong Kong citizens can see the true face of Kang Jianfei! ”
"Forget it, with Kang Jianfei's current status, this kind of news is not painful for him. And Zhao Yazhi hasn't filmed in the past two years, so it is estimated that he will not return to the entertainment industry, and it is not interesting to report their scandal. Hu Xian shook her head and said, she had actually discovered that Zhao Yazhi and Kang Jianfei had illegitimate children, because Hu Xian's residence was near Zhao Yazhi's villa.
The old aunt said again: "This Kang Jianfei is too hateful, we have been planning to buy "Tiantian Daily" for more than a year, and he came to pick up the bargain without much effort, how can there be such a good thing in the world!" ”
"Forget it, "Daily Daily" will give it to him. Since Kang Jianfei decided to make a newspaper, even if he can't buy "Tiantian Daily", he will buy other newspapers. The coming day is long, and everyone will be competitive in the future, and there will be a fight. Hu Xian is known as the queen of Hong Kong's newspaper industry, and now she has a headache for the follow-up impact of Kang Jianfei's entry into the newspaper industry, not just the snatching of the "Daily Daily".
The old aunt knew Hu Xian's thoughts and comforted: "Mr. Hu, don't worry too much. Kang Jianfei is good at making movies, but he is not necessarily good at running newspapers, maybe he will sell "Tiantian Daily" after two years of losses. ”
Hu Xian naturally didn't believe in such comforting words, she said: "In the future, "Sing Tao Daily" will still have a neutral attitude towards Kang Jianfei's related reports, don't blindly scold Kang, many fans of Kang Jianfei have written to complain." “
Kang Jianfei's fans have written to complain about "Sing Tao Daily" for more than a day or two, and the old aunt asked in surprise: "Mr. Hu, did you make any decisions?" ”
"You still know me," Hu Xian smiled helplessly, "The mainland's newspaper industry has been opened to foreign investment, and I am ready to open up the newspaper industry in Shenzhen next year. Zhen runs a newspaper. ”
The old aunt suddenly realized that Hu Xian was preparing to change his position and throw himself to the mainland.
The reason why "Sing Tao Daily" scolded Kang Jianfei was because "Sing Tao Daily" was a rightist newspaper at the beginning, and Kang Jianfei was scolded after he was banned by Taiwan.
Now that the time for Hong Kong's return to the motherland is getting closer and closer, as long as the boss of "Sing Tao Daily" is not stupid, it is impossible for him to continue to choose Taiwan. Since Hu Xian chose to move closer to the mainland, it is inevitable that he will not be able to continue to scold every time.
In fact, Hu Xian is not as beautiful as it seems, Huang Yulang suffered heavy losses in the stock market crash two years ago, and Hu Xian is the same. Before the stock market crash, Hu Xian once relied on speculating on the king of the land, and made 200 million yuan at one time, but now it is very difficult for her to get 200 million in cash, so she has to squeeze toothpaste everywhere to raise money, otherwise she will not be able to keep the price low and not buy, so that Kang Jianfei can buy "Tiantian Daily" cheaply.
