770 [Next Weekly]
Kang Jianfei Congguang. After returning to Hong Kong, before he had time to attend the Academy Awards, he heard two explosive news in the entertainment industry - Zhang Aijia had a child out of wedlock, and Xu Ke and Ye Qianwen's extramarital affair was exposed.
These two big news were broken by Next Magazine.
"Next Magazine" is a new publication that was only launched after the Spring Festival last year, and its founder is called Li Zhiying. At the age of 12, Lai Zhiying traveled from Macau to Hong Kong to work as a child laborer with 1 Hong Kong dollar, and later founded the Giordano fashion brand.
After the outbreak of the mainland incident the year before last, Lai Zhiying actively promoted the anti-mainland movement in Hong Kong, so he got to know many figures in Hong Kong's political and entertainment circles. When he made a name for himself in politics and the entertainment industry, he resolutely sold his shares in Giordano, which he had worked hard for many years, and turned to the print media industry that he had never been involved in - the establishment of "Next Magazine".
Li Jiacheng's wife, Zhuang Yueming, died of illness two months before the establishment of "Next Magazine", and "Next Magazine" made a big hype report on it as soon as it was launched, saying that Zhuang Yueming's cause of death was strange, and then revealed Li Jiacheng's family history.
Li Jiacheng's self-made hard business is fake, he worked in his uncle's factory when he was more than ten years old, and he got the factory after marrying his cousin Zhuang Yueming. It was also revealed that Zhuang Yueming may not have died of natural causes, and the cause of death involved his mistress Zhou Kaixuan's ascension and the inside story of Hutchison Whampoa's equity transaction.
As soon as this news came out, the whole of Hong Kong was boiling, and Next Magazine sold more than 50,000 copies at once from a little-known new newspaper.
Li Jiacheng's reaction was naturally to sue in anger, but the result was very surprising. The matter was unexpectedly settled, and "Next Magazine" did not pay a penny.
Just during this year's Spring Festival, "Next Magazine" suddenly broke the news that the famous female director Zhang Aijia had a child out of wedlock. At first, everyone pointed the finger at Luo Dayou. Because the two have indeed been in love before, and they have always had a good relationship. As a result, in the follow-up report of "Next Magazine", it was said that Zhang Aijia's child's biological father was a married wealthy businessman.
Before the news subsided, the reporter of "Next Magazine" photographed Xu Ke and Ye Qianwen traveling intimately, which once again caused an uproar in the entertainment industry.
In just one year, Next Magazine attracted a lot of attention because of its frequent surprises, and its sales soared to 80,000 copies. At the same time, it has also become a publication for the rich and celebrities to talk about.
Hong Kong's gossip publications have been on the rise in the past few years, and the paparazzi, although not as terrifying as they were 10 years later, are compared to the entertainment journalists of the 70s. It's already enough to be annoying. For example, secretly taking photos of celebrities picking their noses and not wearing zippers, such as writing articles to maliciously stir up the relationship between celebrities and stir up topics, such as breaking the news of a celebrity's scandal to attract attention, etc.
But those gossip newspapers have not yet become a climate, and there is no such strong background as "Next Magazine" behind them. There is no news that is ruthless to the end. "Next Magazine" simply stripped Li Ka-shing naked and put it in front of Hong Kong citizens. Ye Qianwen's several extramarital affairs history was also exposed this time, and it almost became a. Synonymous with woman.
The rise of Next Magazine marks the beginning of an era in which Hong Kong's gossip media have entered a bottomless era.
……
Tseung Kwan O Film and Television City No. 1 Administration Building, in Kang Jianfei's special reception room.
Wang Jing was lying on the sofa and drinking tea with a big belly, while Xu Ke was smoking one cigarette with a gloomy face.
Kang Jianfei asked Li Meifeng to add some tea to herself, and after she left the room, she asked, "Can you still hold on?" ”
Xu Ke sighed and said, "It doesn't matter if I'm a big man, it's just that this incident has too much impact on Ah Wen." and Nan Sheng, who also made a lot of trouble there. The start time of "Smiling Proud Jianghu: Undefeated in the East" will definitely be postponed. ”
Shi Nansheng married Xu Ke secretly in the 80s, and neither of them was invited after they got the certificate. The exact date of marriage is also not known to outsiders. Xu Ke's film studio has always been managed by Shi Nansheng, and now the two have fallen out to the point of divorce, whether the film studio can continue is still a question, and the sequel to "Undefeated in the East", which has been prepared in the early stage, does not know when it will start.
"Miss Shi is a good person, let's try to reconcile if we can reconcile, the matter of the film studio can be put aside first," Kang Jianfei comforted, "As for Next Magazine, it is considered to have been bitten by a dog." Li Chaoren was hacked like that, and there was no way to take the surname Li, and you are even more nothing. ”
Wang Jing gloated and said: "So you should pay more attention to it and don't be photographed by reporters." ”
The three men present are not good things, Wang Jing has many friends with this salty and wet guy, and Xu Ke is also indispensable to confidantes. Kang Jianfei is even more ruthless, possessiveness is rare in the world, and a woman who has sex would rather spend money to support it than let go.
In fact, it is too normal for a man in Hong Kong to raise a young wife, how old is the old man Huo Yingdong, and his aunt gave birth to a son the year before last. Wu Mengda looks honest, and now he has two wives, and those two women have lived under the same roof for a while, and I don't know how he settled it. Principal Tan's affair was relatively low-key, but many years later, it was revealed that he had a little wife and illegitimate children, and it was later revealed that he had three wives.
Xu Ke's cigarette hadn't finished before Wang Jing suddenly said, "Brother Fei, how about you say I filmed "The King of Fighters"?" ”
Kang Jianfei asked with a smile: "Why did you suddenly want to shoot "The King of Fighters"? ”
Wang Jing said: "Isn't "The King of Fighters 1991" just come out? I went to play it the other day, and when I was playing a game, I suddenly had the idea of making a movie about it. ”
The comics and games of "The King of Fighters" are very popular now, and Kang Jianfei wanted to be cinematic at the beginning. Some time ago in Canton. He wanted to come up with a Hong Kong version of "Super Hero League", and the many characters in "The King of Fighters" were the foundation.
Since Wang Jing wants to shoot, let him test the water. However, Kang Jianfei still warned: "I can give you more budget, but don't make "The King of Fighters" a, pee, and fart comedy, according to the style of "Huang Feihong" you filmed." ”
"No problem, I can make a movie with any budget." Wang Jing said with a smile. This guy was filming Yongsheng some time ago, and he didn't get much paid and wanted to go back to DreamWorks to play big.
Kang Jianfei asked, "Which game character are you going to choose as the protagonist?" ”
Wang Jing said: "I think Chunli is very selling, and the fire dance is also good. ”
Kang Jianfei said: "If it's Chunli, let Li Saifeng play it, I designed this game character based on her and Mao Ying." ”
"Then shoot Chunli, and then find a boba to play Shiranui Dance as a supporting actress." Wang Jing said.
Kang Jianfei, the candidate of the boba, did not recommend it, and left the casting right to Wang Jing, he wanted to see what kind of "King of Fighters" movie Wang Jing could make.
Xu Ke is also a fun-loving person, full of ghost ideas. When he heard that Wang Jing wanted to shoot "The King of Fighters", he immediately joined the discussion, and the two planned the plot in the reception room on the spot.
Of course, Xu Ke is just giving some opinions, and he doesn't plan to join the creative team of "The King of Fighters". Xu Ke is a very unique person at work, except for his wife Shi Nansheng, it is difficult for others to communicate with him normally without friction.
In another time and space, Xu Ke and John Woo had conflicts due to differences in creative concepts, and then developed into a battle for fame and fortune, turning from friends to enemies for decades.
Seeing that Wang Jing and Xu Ke were very talkative, Kang Jianfei occasionally interjected to mention one or two ideas. The three chatted for a while, and Li Meifeng knocked on the door and came in and said, "Brother Fei, Mr. Zhang of the brokerage company called to find you." ”
"What's the matter with him?" Kang Jianfei asked.
Li Meifeng said: "Anita Mui's record contract and brokerage contract are about to expire, and she seems to refuse to renew her contract with the company. ”
Hearing that Anita Mui wanted to change jobs, Kang Jianfei's face instantly became gloomy.
As the first sister of Popular Records, the company poured a lot of entertainment resources into Anita Mui, which gave her her current fame and status, and now she refuses to renew her contract!
Just because of the hellish political position?
Kang Jianfei can't understand Anita Mui's brain circuit, it's normal for everyone to have different positions. But leaving the scene is leaving, work is work, and what is there to change about the things that are mutually beneficial?
Just like Ma Chengkun's "Oriental Daily", which is a right-leaning and pro-Taiwan newspaper, it often reports negative news on the mainland, but the two sides still cooperate very happily. "Oriental Daily" needs the entertainment resources of Kang Jianfei's subordinates and the serialization of his novels, while Kang Jianfei needs the media resources of "Oriental Daily".
Even when Kang Jianfei was banned by the Taiwan authorities, "Oriental Daily" did not say a bad word about Kang Jianfei, because Kang Jianfei's novel serialization was an important sales support for "Oriental Daily".
Kang Jianfei calmed down and said to Li Meifeng: "I haven't been free for the past two days, you asked Anita Mui to come to me after the Academy Awards, I want to talk to her in person!" (To be continued......)
PS: I'm too lazy to open a single chapter, Lao Wang is here to wish all book friends a happy New Year, a happy family, and all the best!
