"Then let the reporters from Tiantian Daily ask questions."
As soon as Xu Shengqi from the Public Relations Department said this, everyone present couldn't help laughing.
He asked a reporter from Tiantian Daily to ask questions, and naturally he wanted to make the first shot at Lu Dongjie.
It is a very interesting thing for the employees in the audience to ask questions to the boss on the stage. I am afraid that I will not see it a few times in my life.
In fact, most of the reporters today came here for Lu Dongjie, hoping to get information from this news figure to report back to the bureau.
Entertainment reporters all know that Lu Dongjie has been hiding from them these days, but today he finally has no escape and has to face the reporters' questioning.
Tiantian Daily reporter Wen Huiming stood up and said, "The two-night "Witness Protection Team" broadcast hit the streets and caused a sensation in the city overnight, and was very enthusiastically received by the audience.
Other reporters secretly cast disdainful glances. If you want to flatter your boss, you don't have to be so explicit.
What is the professional ethics of journalists?
They do not deny that this series is very good-looking, and even has a higher production level than the Japanese "Raptors".
But now only two episodes have been played. If the standard of the follow-up is lowered, there will be a sequel.
Lin Xiufeng suddenly smiled and added, "This "Witness Protection Unit" is really good. Now there are distributors from Singapore, Malaysia, South Korea, Japan, and the United States who are interested in negotiating copyright broadcast cooperation."
The reporters were in an uproar. The news was so shocking that it was hard to accept it.
Just such a drama has attracted the attention of foreign film producers. Is it really that powerful?
But looking at the faint smiles on the faces of the Big Three above, the reporters had begun to believe half of it.
If it was not true, he would have dared to announce the news in front of hundreds of reporters, and his words would be conclusive.
You must know that reporters are best at gathering information. If the news is proven to be false, wouldn't it attract a wave of ridicule?
In the past, TV dramas produced in Hong Kong could only be sold to Singapore and Malaysia, but now even the United States, Japan, and South Korea are taking notice.
It can be said that things are changing.
In the past, the number of locally produced TV dramas in Hong Kong was limited every year, and TV dramas from the United States, Britain, and Japan had to be imported to fill the broadcast time.
Take Japanese dramas as an example. Production costs in Japan, especially in terms of screenwriters, directors, and actors, are several times higher than those in Hong Kong.
In this case, it is of course "watching and eating", and the quality of local productions is naturally not as good as Japanese dramas.
Now the "Witness Protection Team" produced by Jiashi is about to enter the Japanese and Korean markets.
What does this mean?
This shows that the TV series produced locally in Hong Kong has been recognized by the Japanese, who believe that this drama will have a viewing market in Japan.
Otherwise, with the attitude of the Japanese who put their eyes above their own, they would never introduce Hong Kong TV series in turn.
Wen Huiming ignored their surprise and asked: "Then I would like to ask Lu Sheng, will you continue to produce TV series in the future?"
Lu Dongjie nodded and took over Mi Gaofeng, "This is the first police and gangster drama launched by Jiashi, and it is also part of our theme diversification plan."
He paused and said, "So far, the ratings are pretty good. I am very grateful to the audience for their love and support for this drama."
"Witness Protection Team" has been aired for two episodes, and the feedback has been good, and its reputation has been rising.
Therefore, everyone has more expectations for Lu Dongjie, the new producer, and hopes that he can produce more dramas.
Lu Dongjie continued: "Currently Jiashi's production focuses on "Dream of Red Mansions". At the same time, Jin Yong's martial arts drama "The Deer and the Cauldron" will be released soon."
He smiled and said, "I have other work on hand to deal with, so I can't decide to prepare a new drama yet."
Although everyone has regrets, they also understand.
After all, besides being a director of a television station, Lu Dongjie is also the owner of a record company and the proprietor of a newspaper.
A reporter from Jingbao couldn't wait to ask: "Sheng Lu, you and Ms. Lin kissed goodbye at the airport? Do you plan to officially make your relationship public?"
Coming? Finally here.
Did the reporter endure the previous time just to wait for Lu Dongjie to answer questions? He couldn't escape at this moment.
Lin Xiufeng and Lin Xiurong exchanged glances and shook their heads slightly helplessly, as if they had expected this scene.
This guy is more likely to attract gossip than those celebrities, so those reporters were being polite to hold back until now.
Lu Dongjie and the innocent actress staged a farewell scene at the airport? This news simply dropped a depth bomb in the entertainment industry.
Although Lu Dongjie often went to the studio to visit Lin Qingxia's class in the past, and the two were even occasionally caught secretly dating.
But no one has witnessed them doing anything outrageous? Of course, they can also use their friendship as a pretext for reporters.
But this time, it is indeed in public, and media reporters are at the first scene. Even if you have a hundred people, you can't argue.
In particular, Lin Qingxia completely ignored the modesty of an innocent actress and made such an unexpected move, which was really shocking.
This entertainment news is making waves now, and many people are discussing the real relationship between the two.
Not only did the politicians in Hong Kong break their hearts, but when the news reached Taipei, there was even more mourning.
They have an innocent actress who stayed in Hong Kong for half a year and unexpectedly fell in love with a Hong Kong man without self-love.
The goddess is no longer innocent, and that Hong Kong man is even more hateful.
Finally, they also concluded that in the colorful world of Hong Kong, everyone is prone to bad habits, and Taiwanese girls should be careful when coming to Hong Kong.
Lu Dongjie admitted openly: "Ms. Lin and I are indeed very good friends. This should be considered an open secret."
Then he changed the topic, "But as we all know, the news in the entertainment industry is true or false. Whether I admit or deny it, I am suspected of using you to "cross the bridge."
The reporters were all stunned. Everyone knew these routines, but they said it bluntly.
Lu Dongjie laughed, "As for whether this is a romantic relationship as you mentioned, it doesn't matter if I say it. You still have to ask Ms. Lin's other dozen or so rumored boyfriends if they are willing to admit it."
The reporters were confused by his half-truths and half-false words. He was indeed a cunning person.
Another reporter from a Chengdu newspaper still refused to give up and asked directly: "Ms. Lin's birthday next month, will you fly to Taipei to celebrate her?"
Lu Dongjie smiled and spread his hands, "They have never approved my entry permit to Taiwan. I'm afraid I won't be able to go even if I want to."
The reporters couldn't help but look at each other, they really didn't expect this reason.
But why Taiwan's Overseas Chinese Affairs Commission did not allow him to enter the country is really puzzling.
Lu Dongjie pressed his hands and said, "Journalists, please be merciful and don't make it difficult for me. After all, this is a company reception. Let's ask some relevant questions."
Although I still have a lot of questions, I know enough is enough. They are here for interviews, not to cause trouble.
A reporter from Ming Pao asked, "Lu Sheng, what do you think of your own version of "Dream of Red Mansions"?"
Lu Dongjie looked up and nodded with a smile, "As the general manager said just now, we invested nearly five million to prepare for the filming. We have a strong cast, the sets and costumes are very close to the original work, and the production is very rigorous."
Reporters have doubts about this. Spending 5 million to make a TV series is just a propaganda trick.
Those props, costumes and scenery are not disposable and can be recycled from the first episode to the 100th episode. How much can you spend?
Lu Dongjie continued, "In the past, film and television dramas about the Dream of Red Mansions only used a few plots, but Jiashi turned it into a full-length TV series, striving to present a complete Dream of Red Mansions to the audience."
The reporters followed the rules fairly well and did not ask any more off-topic questions. They basically asked questions around the topic.
It was not until 5:30. After answering reporters’ questions in the first half, it was time to eat and drink in the second half.
A press conference, as the name suggests, involves interviews with reporters first and then a meal.
This is the rule in the industry for holding press conferences. These big guys with pens and cameras must be satisfied with the meal.
