Rebirth Enchanted Xiangjiang

Chapter 260 Ambition

"It's also a policeman acting. Die Hard is as exciting as the police story, but compared to the police story, Die Hard has fewer dangerous action scenes, but it is even more popular because of the many gun battle scenes. You can see It can be concluded that in order to cater to European and American audiences, the screenwriter Qiao Feng and the director, the action director has made great adjustments in the plot arrangement compared with the previous Cheng Long films. The popularity of Die Hard in Europe and the United States also proves that such adjustments are very important. Necessary, it also pointed out the direction for other filmmakers to develop in Europe and America."

"Hehe, point out the direction? It’s taken for granted. In the past two years, the provincial and Hong Kong flag soldiers were not popular, not only in Hong Kong, but not even in Southeast Asia, let alone Europe and the United States. The action scenes are popular. On the one hand, the most important thing is that the story must conform to the values ​​of Europeans and Americans, and the strong distribution ability can have a good box office in Europe and the United States. "Qiao Feng smiled helplessly and shook his head.

Lin Qingxia, who was sitting opposite, smiled and changed a newspaper and continued reading: "With the global release of Die Hard, Cheng Long has taken a solid step towards Hollywood. Jiahe's long-cherished wish for several years has finally come true. The most important thing is that Jiahe helped Cheng Long hug Qiao Feng’s thigh. From the cooperation and confrontation a few years ago, only the cooperation and confrontation are not there. It can be seen that under the background of Qiao Feng’s movie sales. , Jiahe has changed its strategy or has no courage to fight. Also, every step of the movie is so successful, and no one has the confidence to fight. It is better to follow the soup. In the past, it was Shaw Jiahe Double In the early 1980s, with the establishment of the Golden Princess and the New Art City, Hong Kong entered a three-legged period. However, in this context, Qiao Feng quietly rose up. A few months ago, after the Shaw Theater changed his owner, Qiao Feng took over. Hong Kong movies officially ushered in the era of Qiao Feng's dominance.

"Which newspaper is this? It's such an exaggeration." Qiao Feng asked funny.

"Oriental Daily." Lin Qingxia spit out four words on her lips slightly.

"No wonder." Qiao Feng knows. When he published his novels before, two of them were in collaboration with the Oriental Daily. They were old acquaintances. However, as Qiao Feng and Jin Yong started to publish novels on Ming Pao The cooperation is over.

Afterwards, the Oriental Daily was also very rude in some reports on Qiao Feng. However, as Jin Yong officially became a member of the Basic Law Drafting Committee of the Hong Kong Special Administrative Region in May, he was incapable of responsibilities. Feng's very rude attitude became more relaxed.

At that time, Qiao Feng went to the mainland and didn’t know the situation well. When he came back, he suddenly picked up a call from the owner of the Oriental Daily, Ma Yanqiang, inviting him to meet. Qiao Feng went there and met Ma Yanqiang and hoped that Qiao Feng would return to the East. The daily newspaper serialized novels.

When Qiao Feng serialized novels in the Oriental Daily News, sales of the Oriental Daily News were steadily increasing. After Qiao Feng switched to serializing novels in Ming Pao, the sales of Oriental Daily declined sharply, but Ming Pao's sales began to violently. Up.

In the past, Ma Yanqiang felt that he had no chance to bring Qiao Feng back to the Oriental Daily, because whether it was Jin Yong or Ming Pao, apart from money, it was better than the Oriental Daily in terms of fame and influence.

This is also the reason why Jin Yong is stingy about his life and death, but there are still so many well-known authors, film critics will stay in Ming Pao to open columns and serialize novels and prose.

However, Qiao Feng is very rich, not bad at all, otherwise Qiao Feng would not leave the Oriental Daily and go to Ming Pao.

However, after Jin Yong was elected as a member of the Basic Law Committee, Ma Yanqiang felt that his opportunity had come, because after that Jin Yong had told people many times that he would focus on the drafting of the Basic Law in the future and did not have much time to manage Mingbao matters. Without Jin Yong, the leader in controlling Ming Pao’s influence and sales volume, there would be a certain degree of decline. Qiao Feng would definitely not want to see this happen.

For TV dramas to have good ratings, they must be based on good sales of novels. If the sales of newspapers decline, it means that sales of novels will decline, and fewer people will read novels.

If Qiao Feng does not want this to happen, leaving Ming Pao for a better newspaper with stable sales is the only choice.

Ma Yanqiang felt that he had grasped Qiao Feng's heart, so he asked Qiao Feng to come out and persuade Qiao Feng to return to the Oriental Daily to publish a novel, and the manuscript fee would be the highest in Hong Kong's literary world today.

But it turned out that Qiao Feng refused without hesitation.

Don't think Ma Yanqiang is a cripple with crutches, but his temper is not lame at all, just like a dogskin plaster. Ma Yanqiang felt that Qiao Feng must not be able to wipe his face and parted ways with Ming Pao, so after that, he asked Qiao Feng to persuade him again and again. The reporter editor strictly prohibits reporting on the gossip scandals about Qiao Feng, and extols good news.

This is why Qiao Feng said that it was no wonder when Lin Qingxia said it was Oriental Daily.

Ma Yanqiang was right. Qiao Feng really valued the TV series derived from the novel, but the most important thing he didn't guess was Qiao Feng's ambition for Ming Pao.

Ever since I saw Jin Yong at the celebration banquet when he went to the angry sea, and agreed to serialize the novel in Ming Pao, Feng Qiao has always had ambitions for Ming Pao.

If this ambition is spoken to others, others may think that Qiao Feng is whimsical. How could Jin Yong understand what he created and transfer it to others, not to mention that the newspaper is a golden rooster that lays eggs, holding it in his hands every year. If you start with the profit, the fool will sell it.

But only Qiao Feng knew that Jin Yong would resign as the president of Ming Pao in four years, and in three years, he would transfer Ming Pao to others after he successfully listed Ming Pao.

I think Ming Pao is only a golden rooster idiot to sell it, but for Jin Yong, an old man in his 60s and 70s, he has no children willing to inherit Ming Pao, and he is too old to have enough energy. What is the use of keeping Ming Pao? Well, it can be sold for a big price anyway.

Besides selling money, Jin Yong also hopes that the Ming Pao he founded by himself can develop better. Jin Yong once again talked to others. He said: "Everyone in Ming Pao only listens to me. To say it is a success is also a failure. Success means high efficiency, and what you want to do can be done immediately; failure means that I leave and things cannot be done."

Ming Pao is Jin Yong’s newspaper alone, and Jin Yong very much hopes to change this situation and free Ming Pao from his influence. From this, Qiao Feng and Jin Yong had tea together and talked about several influential newspapers in Hong Kong. Regarding his own Ming Pao, Jin Yong said: "The newspaper is controlled by one person. If a person dies, the newspaper cannot survive; if it is institutionalized, even if the individual is assassinated, the newspaper can still operate. I want to make the Ming Pao. "Publicization, so many people will participate, otherwise, once I die, Ming Pao will fall apart and collapse."

Since Qiao Feng knew that Jin Yong would sell Ming Pao in his previous life, and now he has a good relationship with Jin Yong, he is naturally more certain that Jin Yong will sell Ming Pao.

After becoming a member of the Basic Law Drafting Committee, Jin Yong said several times that he should focus on the drafting of the Basic Law, and Qiao Feng knew that this was Jin Yong who started to go to Jin Yonghua.

How could Qiao Feng agree to Ma Yanqiang kicking Kaiming Pao to join the Oriental Daily at such a time? It is too late for him to increase friendship with Jin Yong. Qiao Feng would not be stupid if he lost the watermelon and picked sesame seeds.
