Some people are singing, some are dancing, some are playing, some are laughing.
The night in Xiangjiang never sleeps.
So when many people have gone to sleep, many people are still enjoying life or busy.
On the 27th floor of Building B of Longqing Building, No. 269 Guangming Road, Queen's Road West, the editing room of "Polo Daily" is brightly lit, and all newspaper editors are working nervously in front of the computer.
"Polo Daily" is one of the free newspapers with the largest circulation in Hong Kong, with a daily circulation of more than 700,000, so it has a great influence in Hong Kong.
This newspaper for the general public has always been famous for reporting social news quickly, accurately and ruthlessly.
“Fast” means that they produce news very quickly. Although it cannot be compared with the Internet, even if it is news that just happened tonight, citizens will be able to see the relevant news at newsstands or in their own mailboxes as soon as they wake up tomorrow morning. Report review.
And "accurate" means that their news positioning is accurate, targeting the hot social issues and entertainment gossip in Hong Kong, and tapping into the tastes and hobbies of the general public, so the circulation remains high.
As for "ruthless", it has a rich meaning. The paparazzi reporters of "Daily Polo" are "ruthless" in grabbing news, and their editorial style is also "ruthless". To put it concretely, it is enough to write a thick story book.
It is precisely by virtue of this three-character mantra and the free distribution strategy that the Polo Daily, which was founded less than ten years ago, has fought its way through many competitors in Hong Kong and become a leader in the newspaper industry.
In the editor's office, editor-in-chief Li Wan was sitting at his desk reviewing the newspaper samples that had just been printed. This was a task that he had to complete every day, otherwise he would not be able to sleep well.
The success of "Polo Daily" is inseparable from the hard work of the former deputy editor of "Famous Daily". Although he is over 40 years old, his energy is still as strong as that of many young people.
"Editor Li!"
A skinny young man carrying a camera hurried in and shouted: "I captured a piece of news about Shu Jing!"
His voice was so loud that the entire editorial office could hear him clearly.
The editorial department of "Polo Daily" adopts an open-plan office. Although the editor-in-chief Li Wan has an independent office, through the large floor-to-ceiling glass windows, both inside and outside can see each other clearly.
Unless there is something very important or very private, the door to his office is always open, and certain staff can break in directly and report to him without announcing or even knocking on the door.
This seemingly "unruly" rule allowed Li Wan to firmly control the affairs of "Polo Daily". His prestige among newspaper reporters and editors was unmatched by even the boss.
The young man who just broke in is one of the entertainment reporters hired by "Daily Polo", commonly known as the paparazzi.
Li Wan put down the printed proofs in his hand and looked at the other party with a faint smile: "Xiao Hou, you won't make any mistakes this time, will you?"
Xiao Hou's face turned red, and he quickly raised the camera in his hand and said, "This time it's true. Shu Jing held a charity dinner at the Shangri-La Hotel in the evening. After that, she went to Lanting Coffee with a handsome guy, and then"
"Show me quickly!"
Li Wan immediately became interested, took Xiao Hou's camera over, skillfully connected it to the computer with a data cable, and retrieved the photos in the memory card to view.
Shu Jing was once a little queen in the music industry. After marrying into a wealthy family, she quit the entertainment industry. Her divorce lawsuits made a lot of noise in the past few years, but she is still a very popular figure in the industry today.
Shu Jing is both a star and a socialite, making quite a lot of news in her own right. However, she has not been heard of anyone she is dating for several years after her divorce. If what Xiao Hou photographed can prove her new relationship, it is definitely worthy of making headlines.
"This one, look at this one, and this one"
Xiao Hou stood nearby and pointed, and nervously explained: "There was a traffic jam in Central at night. I could have come earlier, but I was blocked on the road."
As a new entrant, Xiao Hou has very little experience in the "Polo Daily". Due to his lack of experience, he made a joke last time to grab the news, which made him very embarrassed in front of his colleagues.
This time he followed Shu Jing, and with patience and luck, he finally managed to capture something valuable.
But Xiao Hou was also worried that if other colleagues were present, his exclusive rights would be gone.
So it is most important to schedule it as soon as possible.
Li Wan waved his hand.
He had already seen the key photos, and to be honest, he was a little disappointed, because Shu Jing was with a handsome guy, but both of them were accompanied by assistants or friends, and there was no private and intimate action taken.
Using these photos to prove that she has a new love is obviously not convincing enough, but the angles of Xiaohou's two photos are well chosen, and they still feel quite intimate when taken alone.
It's just that Li Wan searched it in his mind and didn't recognize that this tall and handsome young man was an artist in the entertainment industry or a child of a famous family.
Of course, Hong Kong is such a big place and there are countless outstanding young people. It is normal for Shu Jing to find a lover who is unknown outside the circle, but the identity of the other party will definitely not be simple.
He thought for a moment and then immediately said: "I'll give you the position on page B. Just use these photos. Let Xiao Zhang and the others immediately retype them with titles. After proofreading, I'll send them out for printing right away!"
For free newspapers like "Polo Daily", which mainly focus on social news and entertainment news, the layout is usually big headlines, big pictures and less text. News headlines are often much larger than the masthead font size, exaggerated and sensational, and then interspersed with pictures.
Supplemented by a small amount of explanatory text, it is completely different from serious newspapers such as current affairs and professional topics.
One advantage of this typesetting style is that it is easy to change the page. It is common to temporarily change the content of the section before printing, and editors have long been accustomed to it.
Page b is the second page, second only to the front page. Xiao Hou is already overjoyed.
An editor complained: "Xiao Hou, you've got it right this time. We have to work overtime and you want to treat us."
Xiaohou giggled.
Li Wan, who was sitting in the office, couldn't help but laugh. He held the mouse and pulled out the previous photos.
For some reason, the editor-in-chief felt that the young man who had coffee with Shu Jing in the evening looked familiar.
Out of professional sensitivity, he had to think carefully, maybe he could make big news.
At the same time, someone just posted a video post on the [Popular Music] section of the largest BBS Hong Kong forum in Hong Kong.
The title is "Has anyone heard this song?". ——
