The next day, Lin Zuhui accepted an interview with Japan's NHK TV station in the office of China Real Estate Center.
Because he was the first person to develop satellite television in Asia, he was awarded the title of "Tokyo Creative Master" by relevant Japanese organizations. He was also the first foreigner to receive this honor. Although it was a small Japanese award, Lin Zuhui was a businessman after all, so
They were all gladly accepted.
What is unexpected is that the Japanese NHK TV station sent a young girl who probably just graduated to interview him. The important thing is that she looks pretty good, which is a bit confusing.
After all, Lin Zuhui is also the richest man in China. His appeal in Hong Kong is unquestionable. How dare Japan's NHK TV station be so "treaty"?
Probably worried that her qualifications were not enough, the little girl said as soon as they met: "Mr. Lin, hello, my name is Garuna!" She used English.
Garuna?
This name seemed familiar, and Lin Zuhui quickly remembered that this was Li Zekai’s girlfriend in his previous life! It suddenly dawned on him that he had become the first Asian to produce satellite television. Originally, this award belonged to Li Zekai, so now it was awarded to him.
Well, NHK TV station plans to send a "honey trap" to get better interview results.
Lin Zuhui smiled and said: "I can speak Japanese, because I am being interviewed by Japanese TV, so you can speak Japanese to me!"
Karuna's eyes lit up and she quickly said: "Thank you, does Mr. Lin know many languages?"
Lin Zuhui said: "Because I have to do business in many countries, I also learned the languages of some countries, hoping to increase mutual trust. What about you, can you briefly introduce yourself?"
Karuna suddenly became curious about Lin Zuhui. Just because he wanted to do business with people from other countries, he learned a lot of languages. Moreover, judging from the fact that the richest Chinese man spoke Japanese, he was really fluent in it.
He is a genius!
Garuna did some homework beforehand. The richest man in China is only 27 years old this year, and his mother is long gone. His father is just an ordinary person. He is a true self-made man.
Incredible.
"I graduated from the Department of Journalism at Columbia University in the United States, and my parents are university professors..."
Lin Zuhui praised: "No wonder, NHK TV station asked you to interview me. It seems that you were born in a scholarly family and you are also a very good reporter!"
After being praised by Lin Zuhui, Garuna was no longer nervous, and the atmosphere in the room became much better.
The interview officially begins.
Japan's NHK TV station must have set up a lot of questions in advance for Garuna to ask, and it's not just about Asia Satellite TV; they even asked a few questions about "Detective Conan".
Of course, Lin Zuhui answered directly that Wanhui Comics Club hopes to learn from Japan and then create good works, and expressed his respect for the Japanese comics industry.
"Mr. Lin, Asia Satellite TV's audience has exceeded 25 million, which can be said to be quite successful. What do you think are the factors for its success?"
"Of course it's the content. When Asia Satellite TV was founded, my intention was to promote 'Hong Kong culture'. I wasn't doing it to make money, but I wanted more Asians to recognize our Hong Kong's 'entertainment culture' and also
We hope that through this kind of cultural exchange, we can strengthen the connections between people from various Asian countries and regions."
"Mr. Lin, I am a fan of h.o.t. I heard that they are the first generation of 'Hong Kong idols'. Do they represent a new Hong Kong entertainment culture?"
"Yes, their performance is indeed a new form of performance, including Li Zhenxian's. It is an innovation. We Hong Kong people call them 'Hong Kong culture'. It can be regarded as a new genre that emerged after the Hong Kong entertainment industry matured.
"
Lin Zuhui feels that he is about to become the promotion ambassador of Hong Kong culture. In order to "Hong Kong culture revitalizes Hong Kong", he is also worried about it.
The interview was considered a success and both parties were quite satisfied!
But at the end, Lin Zuhui saw a trace of 'embarrassment' on Garuna's face;
Then, I heard Karuna say: "Mr. Lin, you seem to be very popular with girls?"
In fact, what the company asked Karuna was not this question, but: Mr. Lin, you seem to be very popular with women?
But Karuna didn't know what was going on. She probably felt that the last question was too much, so she compromised.
Lin Zuhui suddenly realized that he wanted to know about his private life!
"Can I ask you this question?" Lin Zuyao said humorously.
Kareuna's face suddenly turned red. Regardless of whether he answered 'yes' or 'no', the young rich man easily dodged the question.
I'm so stupid!
Karuna couldn't help but secretly sigh at Lin Zuhui's cunningness.
"I think Mr. Lin is funny and very gentlemanly. He will definitely be very popular with girls!"
"Thanks!"
That’s all gone? Karuna was immediately confused.
At the end of the interview, Karuna was reluctant to leave.
But Lin Zuhui said: "Miss Garuna, how about we have dinner together at noon, let me fulfill my friendship as a landlord!"
Karuna flashed a hint of joy, and then said politely: "Then I'll trouble Mr. Lin!"
Furama Hotel.
In the Lin family's store, Lin Zuhui and Garuna were sitting in a corner of the restaurant eating.
During the dinner, Lin Zuhui looked at Garuna carefully. She had a capable yet gentle temperament, which was quite classical. After interacting with female stars too much, Lin Zuhui suddenly wanted to try another taste.
During the dinner, Lin Zuhui's conversation was humorous, he was a strong man in business, and he had an elegant temperament, which naturally attracted Garuna.
However, Garuna is not as easy to fool as ordinary celebrities.
"Mr. Lin, actually the last question I just wanted to ask was: Are you very popular with women? I don't know if you can answer it in private now. But don't worry, I won't make it public!"
Lin Zuhui said generously: "I am so young and very energetic, so it is inevitable that I will have a few confidantes. It doesn't matter if you announce this issue. It is not a secret in Xiangjiang."
This chapter is not finished yet, please click on the next page to continue reading the exciting content! Garuna was speechless, this is so natural!
Nothing happened when Lin Zuhui and Karuna met for the first time. Instead, they asked Karuna for their contact information and said they would have a dinner date in Tokyo another day.
In fact, Karuna also has a good impression of Lin Zuhui, mainly because she admires such a strong man, but she cannot accept Lin Zuhui's romantic style immediately.
In addition to liking Garuna's capable and gentle temperament, Lin Zuhui also thinks that she is like the Totos version of Rie Miyazawa, and she also looks a bit like the Japanese Crown Princess Masako Owada.

As soon as "Blue Life and Death" was broadcast, it caused a huge topic in Hong Kong. After a quarter of the broadcast (the fifth episode), the ratings in Hong Kong have reached as high as 48%, which is the same as that of "Bao Qingtian", "Bao Qingtian" and "Bao Qingtian".
"The Legend of the New White Snake" has a chance to win.
The important thing is that "Blue Life and Death" is a completely new style of drama. People in the industry know that ATV's "Hong Kong culture" is obviously different from everyone else's "Hong Kong culture" after contacting Li Zhenxian and the popularity of H.O.T.
Of course, since the slogan "Hong Kong's culture revitalizes Hong Kong" has become popular in Hong Kong, the overall quality of Hong Kong's entertainment industry has improved a lot.
In short, with the broadcast of "Blue Life and Death", the term "Hong Kong Stream" was once again mentioned by citizens and the media, and Hong Kong began to be proud of "Hong Kong Stream".
Lin Zuhui came to Broadcasting Channel 81. Along the way, staff and artists looked at him with admiration. The potential of ATV is endless, which cannot be compared with TVB TV stations at any time.
Even European and American TV stations have come to buy the rights to ATV's programs. ATV's drama series are popular in Asia, and everyone has a hunch that this time "Blue Life and Death" and "Autumn Fairy Tale" will set off a "Hong Kong trend" in Asia
.
Lin Zuhui looked at the admiration of everyone, but lamented that ATV's office space was too small. Fortunately, by the end of this year, the ATV Center in Tseung Kwan O will be gradually put into use.
By the end of the year, ATV will almost be able to move into the ATV Center building in Tseung Kwan O, which is a 26-storey complex with an area of 780,000 square feet.
When he came to the office, Lin Zuhui was drinking tea and was not in a hurry to work.
His job at ATV is very simple, which is to make suggestions and formulate general directions.
As for YG Entertainment, after the three groups debut this year, Lin Zuhui can let YG Entertainment perform on his own in the future. He only needs to express his opinions from time to time;
In terms of drama series, he plans to launch "Blue Life and Death", "Autumn Fairy Tale", "Dae Jang Geum" and "Full House" successively on the "Hong Kong Stream" series. In this way, he has almost laid the foundation for
In addition, ATV will also film Lu Songxian's version of "The Swordsman", Louis Koo's version of "The Legend of the Dead", Huang Rihua's version of "Dragon", and "Spring and I Have a Love"
"Date", "I Have a Date with a Zombie"... mainly filming dramas with the theme of "Hong Kong Flow".
In terms of programs, in the 1990s, European and American variety shows were still the target of plagiarism. In the late 1990s, Korean variety shows could be copied.
After a while, ATV's financial manager Li Baoan came to Lin Zuhui's office and handed Lin Zuhui a piece of information.
“Boss, I’ve sorted out last year’s financial briefing you asked for!”
Lin Zuhui nodded, took a few glances, and couldn't help but smile. The total profit was 750 million, which was probably three times the profit of Wireless!
Copyright revenue alone was HK$330 million for the whole year.
"Are the company's expenses for producing drama series particularly high?" Lin Zuhui asked.
"Yes, we invested in 32 TV series last year, producing 12 more than TVB. Moreover, the production costs of several of our TV series were around 15 million, and this time the production cost of "Blue Life and Death" was as high as 19 million.
"Li Baoan said seriously.
Lin Zuhui secretly clicked his tongue. The investment level of 15 million yuan for the series is equivalent to the level of investment in "The Legend of the White Snake", but Zhao Ya alone needs a salary of nearly 3 million yuan.
"Any future Hong Kong-style drama series will require a large investment, and the requirements for scenes, costumes, etc. will be very high. However, these will be used as a tool to export culture, so your finance department will not charge production fees."
How dare you block the "port flow", Li Baoan said in his heart. This is related to the boss's big plan, how can he not understand it.
"Good boss! It is precisely because of the copyright income that ATV has achieved today's achievements. We will not be stuck with the production fees of Hong Kong streams."
Lin Zuhui nodded with satisfaction and said: "General bosses hope that their financial controller will tighten their finances for them, but I am not that kind of boss. Only investment will reward you. ATV's vision is the world, not Hong Kong."
Li Baoan couldn't help but admire his boss. ATV's copyright revenue is really getting higher year by year, and its scope is getting more and more advertising.
