Chapter two hundred and sixty ambition
"The same policeman played, Die Hard is as exciting as the police story. However, compared with the police story, Die Hard lacks many dangerous action scenes, but it seems even more popular because of the many gun battle scenes. It can be seen that in order to cater to European and American audiences, screenwriter Qiao Feng and director, action director have made great adjustments in the plot arrangement compared to previous Cheng Long's films. The popularity of Die Hard in Europe and the United States also proves that such adjustments are necessary, and also points out the direction for other filmmakers to develop in Europe and the United States."
"Haha, point out the direction? This is a bit of a matter of course. The provincial and Hong Kong flag soldiers in the past two years were fighting hot or not. They can only have an influence in Hong Kong, and they can't even become popular in Southeast Asia, let alone Europe and the United States. The hot action scenes are one aspect, and the most important thing is that the story must conform to the values of European and American people, and with strong distribution capabilities, they can have a good box office in Europe and the United States. " Qiao Feng smiled helplessly and shook his head.
Lin Qingxia, sitting opposite, smiled and changed into a newspaper to read: "With the popularity of Die Hardness around the world, Cheng Long took a solid step towards Hollywood. Jiahe's long-cherished wish for several years has finally come true, but the most important thing is that Jiahe helped Cheng Long hold Qiao Feng's thigh. From cooperation and confrontation a few years ago to the point of no one's current film sales, Jiahe has changed its strategy or has no courage to confront. In addition, every step of the movie is so successful, and no one has the confidence to confront, it is better to drink a sip of soup. In the past, the 1970s, the two heroes of Shaw Brothers Jiahe were coexisting. In the early 1980s, with the establishment of Princess Jin and the founding of New Art City, Hong Kong entered a three-legged tripod period, but in this context, Qiao Feng quietly rose. A few months ago, with the change of ownership of Shaw Brothers theaters, Hong Kong films officially ushered in the era of Qiao Feng dominance."
"Which newspaper is this? It's so exaggerated." Qiao Feng asked funnyly.
"Oriental Daily." Lin Qingxia opened her red lips slightly and spit out four words.
"No wonder." Qiao Feng knew that when he published his novels, he had two of them collaborated with Oriental Daily, and he was considered an old acquaintance. However, after Qiao Feng and Jin Yong formed a relationship and began to publish novels in Ming Pao, the cooperation between the two parties ended.
Later, Oriental Daily was often very rude in some reports on Qiao Feng. However, as Jin Yong officially became a member of the drafting committee of the Basic Law of the Hong Kong Special Administrative Region in May, he was not at ease with the fact that Oriental Daily changed his previous attitude towards Qiao Feng and became more rude.
At that time, Qiao Feng ran to the mainland and was not sure about the situation. When he came back, he suddenly received a call from the owner of Oriental Daily Ma Yanqiang to invite him to meet him. Qiao Feng went there. After meeting Ma Yanqiang was straightforward to hope that Qiao Feng would return to Oriental Daily serialized novels.
When Qiao Feng was serializing novels in Oriental Daily, the sales volume of Oriental Daily was rising steadily. After Qiao Feng changed to the serialized novels in Mingbao, the sales volume of Oriental Daily dropped sharply, but Mingbao's sales began to rise sharply.
In the past, Ma Yanqiang felt that he had no chance to bring Qiao Feng back to Oriental Daily, because whether it was Jin Yong or Ming Pao, except for money, he was better than Oriental Daily in fame and influence.
This is why Jin Yong is so stingy that he doesn't pay for his own royalties, but there are still so many well-known authors, and film critics will stay in Ming Pao to open columns, serialize novels and essays.
However, Qiao Feng was very rich and was not short of money at all. Otherwise, Qiao Feng would not have left the Oriental Daily and went to Mingbao.
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 repeatedly told people that he would focus on drafting the Basic Law in the future, and there was not much time to deal with Ming Pao. Without Jin Yong, the leader in controlling Ming Pao's influence and sales, there would definitely be a certain decline. Qiao Feng would definitely not want to see such a situation happen, because it can be seen from Qiao Feng serializing novels in newspapers and filming them into TV series and getting wireless broadcasts. Compared with novels, Qiao Feng attaches more importance to TV series derived from novels.
If a TV series wants to have good ratings, it must be based on the fact that the novel has good sales. If the sales of newspapers decline, it means that the sales of novels decline and the number of people reading novels will decrease.
If Qiao Feng doesn't want this to happen, leaving Mingbao to replace 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 lobby for Qiao Feng to return to the Oriental Daily serialized novels, and the royalties would be given to the highest level of Hong Kong literary world today.
But the result was that Qiao Feng refused without hesitation.
Although Ma Yanqiang is a crutch-based man, he is not lame at all, just like a dog-skin plaster. Ma Yanqiang felt that Qiao Feng must be unable to extricate his face and parted ways with Ming Pao, so he asked Qiao Feng to persuade him repeatedly, and asked his reporters and editors to strictly prohibit reporting of gossip about Qiao Feng and praised the good news.
This is also the reason why Qiao Feng said it was no wonder when he heard Lin Qingxia say it was Oriental Daily.
Ma Yanqiang guessed it right. Qiao Feng does attach more importance to the TV series derived from the novel, but he did not guess the most important thing, that is Qiao Feng's ambition for Ming Pao.
From the celebration banquet where he joined Nuhai, he met Jin Yong and agreed to publish the novel in Ming Pao that year, Qiao Feng has always had ambitions for Ming Pao.
If you tell others this ambition, others may think that Qiao Feng is whimsical. How could Jin Yong turn it over with the clever idea he founded? Not to mention that the report is a golden rooster that lays eggs. If you hold it in your hand, you will buy it with a lot of profit every year, and only a fool will sell it.
But only Qiao Feng knew that Jin Yong would step down as president of Ming Pao in four years, and after he successfully listed Ming Pao, he would turn Ming Pao on others.
Everyone thinks that Ming Pao is a fool of the Golden Rooster, but for Jin Yong, an elderly man in his sixties or seventies, he has no children to inherit Ming Pao, and he is too energetic to be in the grade. What's the use of keeping Ming Pao? It's better to sell it. Anyway, he can sell it at a big price.
In addition to selling money, Jin Yong also hopes that Ming Pao, which he founded, can develop better. Jin Yong once again talked to others, saying: "Everyone in Ming Pao listens only to me, can be said to be successful and failure. Success is high efficiency, and everything you need to do can be done immediately; failure is that I leave, and things can't be done."
Ming Pao is Kim Yong's newspaper alone, and Kim Yong really wants to change this situation and get Ming Pao out of his influence. Therefore, Qiao Feng and Kim Yong have tea together and talk about the situation of several influential newspapers in Hong Kong. Regarding his own Ming Pao, Kim Yong said this: "The newspaper office is controlled by one person. If one person dies, the newspaper cannot survive; if it is institutionalized, even if an individual is assassinated, the newspaper can still be operated. I want to make Ming Pao public and let many people participate, otherwise once I die, Ming Pao will be broken and collapsed."
Qiao Feng knew that Jin Yong would sell Ming Pao in his previous life, and now he has a good relationship with Jin Yong, so he is naturally more sure that Jin Yong would sell Ming Pao.
Since Jin Yong became a member of the Basic Law Drafting Committee, he said several times that he should focus on the drafting of the Basic Law, Qiao Feng knew that this was Jin Yong's beginning to transform into Jin Yong.
