799 【Sit and Talk】

Lu Songxian plays Yang Guo, Li Ruotong plays Xiaolongnu, Fu Mingxian plays Guo Fu, He Meitian plays Guo Xiang, Qi Meizhen plays Li Mochou, Weng Hong plays Cheng Ying, Chen Peishan plays Lu Wushuang, Luo Songhua plays Guo Polu, Pan Zhiwen plays Guo Jing, Wei Qiuhua plays Huang Rong... This is the cast of Dongshi Company's new version of "The Legend of Condor Heroes".

When the list of actors was released in Oriental TV magazine, both internal and ordinary audiences had complaints about this.

Lv Songxian is a graduate of the Hong Kong Academy of Performing Arts. She has been playing a small role since signing with Oriental Entertainment Agency two years ago. Although Li Ruotong is beautiful, she has never been popular. Many people think she has no future in development. And she has never heard of the name He Meitian. Although Fu Mingxian has made some movies and TV series, her popularity is far less than Qi Meizhen, who plays Li Mochou.

Such actor arrangements have made "The Return of the Condor Heroes" almost a TV series starring purely newcomers.

Whether it is Dongyu Economic Company, Dongshi Company or Phoenix Channel, there are distinct factions like the TVB. The Jin Yong drama "The Legend of Condor Heroes" is destined to become popular, and the various factions compete for the main characters in the drama are extremely fierce. Producer Luo Minghao and director Zhao Zhenqiang are both "newcomers" who have only switched to Dongshi Company in the past two years. Their connections in the Oriental Group are very weak. No one dares to offend him after accepting the production of this TV series. He forced him to use auditions to a large number of newcomers or second-tier actors.

However, Luo Minghao and Zhao Zhenqiang served as producers and directors, and they were personally appointed by Kang Jianfei. Their behavior of using new actors was naturally over-interpreted. Some people who had a ghost in their hearts believed that Kang Jianfei's move was to express dissatisfaction and to warn senior executives of companies who were playing infighting in small moves.

...

At Jin Yong's mansion.

Lin Leyi put the freshly ground coffee on the coffee table and smiled and said, "Mr. Kang, please use it slowly."

Kang Jianfei pretended to behave and praised in front of Jin Yong: "Che is so good at crafting."

Lin Leyi smiled and said, "Mr. Kang has been awarded too much."

"Leyi's skill in making coffee is really good." Jin Yong praised his wife without any modesty.

Mrs. Cha, who is known as Xiaolongnu by Jin Yong, is less than 40 years old this year. When she met Jin Yong, she was still a barmaid. The so-called hero is sad to pass the beauty. Jin Daxia, who is in his 50s, resolutely abandoned his first wife Zhu Mei this time and married Xiaolongnu, who is in his early 20s, leaving a moral stain on his life.

You know, Jin Daxia's original wife shared hardships with him. When she first founded Ming Pao, the two were so poor that they drank a cup of coffee and stayed up late to write articles. After divorced Jin Yong, Zhu Mei spent the rest of her life in loneliness and poverty. When she died, there was no relative around her. The death certificate was obtained by the hospital staff for her.

Of course, in this kind of thing, compared to bitch Fei, Jin Daxia is enough to be called a gentleman.

Kang Jianfei opened an envelope, took out the photos inside and spread them on the coffee table, and said, "This is the final makeup photo of the new version of "The Legend of Condor Heroes". Mr. Cha, please take a look."

Jin Yong put his eyes on, picked up the photo and looked carefully. After a long time, he nodded and said, "The actors were selected well, especially Xiaolongnu's appearance, which has a very cold temperament."

Kang Jianfei smiled and said, "It's good if Mr. Cha is satisfied."

Jin Yong put down the photo and drank coffee. He did not speak out any more. He didn't believe that Kang Jianfei came to visit him, and only came to let him see the makeup photos of "The Legend of Condor Heroes" with the purpose of talking about the acquisition of the Ming Pao Group.

If Kang Jianfei didn't want to acquire Ming Pao, why should he hire someone to investigate Yu Pinghai's background? Jin Yong knew very well.

Sure enough, Kang Jianfei walked around for a long time and finally said, "I heard that Mr. Cha intends to take action on Ming Pao, but I wonder if he will find a suitable partner?"

Jin Yong smiled and asked, "Mr. Kang is also interested in Ming Pao?"

"I'm very interested." Kang Jianfei nodded.

Jin Yong said: "Mr. Kang's Oriental Media Group already has seven or eight newspapers and magazines. Why bother to think about Ming Pao again?"

Kang Jianfei asked: "Does Mr. Cha want to hear the truth?"

Jin Yong said: "Look at me with your ears."

Kang Jianfei said: "Then I will express my ideas and let Mr. Cha evaluate it."

As he said that, Kang Jianfei dipped his finger in coffee, simply drew the outline of the world map on the coffee table, and pointed to the map and said: "I am going to build Oriental Entertainment Culture Group into a world-wide entertainment and cultural empire, including movies, TV, music records, animation and comics, electronic games, paper media, publishing and distribution. With Hong Kong as the base and relying on the Asian Confucian cultural circle, it will spread and expand to the world. In the next fifteen years, the development focus of Oriental Entertainment Culture Group will be in Asia. Fifteen years later, that is, after 2006, the group will expand greatly into Europe and the United States. Oriental Media is an important part of Oriental Entertainment Culture Group, and "Ming Pao" is also an important helper for the development of Oriental Media. Can Mr. Cha understand this when I say this?"

Jin Yong opened his mouth and wanted to speak, but his ideal was to make Ming Pao the most influential Chinese newspaper in the world, and Kang Jianfei actually wanted to build a world-wide entertainment empire, and his ambition was a little too great.

If it were someone else who said this, Jin Yong would definitely think that this person was talking nonsense. But Kang Jianfei started from scratch for more than ten years and now he has become the richest man in Hong Kong. What he said is enough to be convincing.

Jin Yong said: "Mr. Kang, there is a difference between making newspapers and making movies. Your movies can make a big box office in Japan, but your newspapers can never be sold well in Japan. Oriental Media's global expansion is just empty talk."

Kang Jianfei nodded and said, "It is indeed difficult to enter the Japanese media market, but there will always be hope when you take it slowly. To be honest, what I value most is the credibility of Ming Pao, which is the most valuable thing in Ming Pao. Other so-called Oriental Daily, Sing Tao Daily and Ta Kung Pao are not worth mentioning compared to Ming Pao."

Kang Jianfei's last words really touched Jin Yong's pride. In terms of credibility, Ming Pao is definitely the number one in Hong Kong, while Oriental Daily has no moral integrity. Sing Tao Daily is a pure commercial newspaper, and Ta Kung Pao is a helping party to speak. When the views of several newspapers are inconsistent, readers will most likely believe the views of Ming Pao.

In the past two years, more than a dozen wealthy businessmen around the world have wanted to acquire Ming Pao. What they are interested in is the sales of Ming Pao and its influence among the middle class. Buying Ming Pao is nothing more than making money.

The most valuable thing about Ming Pao is its credibility. Kang Jianfei is also the first buyer to say this.

Jin Yong thought to himself: No wonder Kang Jianfei was able to create such a huge family business all day long. This person's vision is really sharp.

Jin Yong, who originally didn't plan to sell Ming Pao to Kang Jianfei, now he has a little interest. He said: "Ming Pao rejects all political parties and groups, strictly adheres to freedom and neutrality, and takes a peaceful and objective newspaper-running route. Mr. Kang, if I remember correctly, you are a leftist, right?"

"It can be said to be a pan-left," Kang Jianfei admitted it very simply, "To be precise, I am a nationalist who supports national unity. The legitimate interests of the state, nation and individuals are supreme. As for the ruling party, I understand it as a professional manager. If this professional manager does a good job, I will applaud. If I don't do well, I will criticize. I will not help any party or group distort the facts against my conscience. If it is wrong, it is right. You see that my TV stations and newspapers are left-leaning, but I think this is an objective manifestation, because there are too many media that say bad things about the mainland, which makes me seem to be an alternative."

Jin Yong was drinking coffee silently, as if he was thinking that Kang Jianfei's words were somewhat credible. After a long time, he said: "Mr. Kang, you are already a standard leftist in the eyes of Hong Kong citizens. If Ming Pao is in your hands, even if you still insist on objective and neutral reporting, you will still be misunderstood as a leftist newspaper. Sorry, I cannot sell Ming Pao to you."

Kang Jianfei smiled and said, "What if He Chaoqiong bought Ming Pao?"

"Is there any difference? She is your wife." Jin Yong said.

Kang Jianfei said: "Of course there is a difference. Her political stance is on the right. I am going to hand over all Oriental Media to her. Unless I encounter serious misrepresentation, I will never interfere in the operation and development of any newspaper under Oriental Media."

Jin Yong shook his head, laughing without saying a word. He didn't believe in He Chaoqiong's ability at all, let alone a rich daughter could do the Ming Pao well.

Kang Jianfei didn't advise him much. Anyway, he was not afraid of Jin Yong selling Ming Pao in a short period of time. He smiled and said, "Aqiong just took over Tiantian Daily last month, and she will make big moves soon. Mr. Cha, please wait and see."

"What big move?" Jin Yong asked curiously. He didn't think Kang Jianfei was saying meaningless empty words.

Kang Jianfei said: "It is enough to affect the current situation of the Hong Kong newspaper industry and even change the Hong Kong media landscape."

Jin Yong frowned and nodded, "Okay, I'll wait and see." (To be continued, please search for Astronomy, novels are better, updated and faster!
