1982 Started from Hong Kong

Chapter 396 Coming on Stage
Jiuyi Entertainment delegated power to Shi Nansheng and prospered.

The September 1st Daily handed over power to Wei Jianbang, and things started to go haywire.

This is because within less than half a year of its founding, the newspaper changed from a daily newspaper to a highly entertaining gossip newspaper, and then to the current style of a newspaper filled with negative political news.

After three consecutive changes in style, the author lost a huge number of fans and readers.

There is an unspoken understanding among capitalists in later generations.

That is, the higher the enthusiasm for keyboard politics, the lower the commercial value of the platform, and there is no need to invest money in it. For example, A B is far inferior to A Dou, Doubanjiang is far inferior to Xiaohongshu, and Twitter is far inferior to Instagram...

The same is true for print newspapers.

Under the leadership of Wei Jianbang, the September 1st Daily was galloping on the road to publishing editorials.

Normal people cannot stand the hostility, criticism and so-called insights throughout the article. Except for extreme groups, most of the remaining audiences only pay attention to the few columns such as "Nightlife of Pride", "The Three-Body Problem" and "A Shaan".

Sales volume continued to decline.

This got to the point where Situ Mingzhu and his group couldn't stand it anymore and decided to help fan the flames by distributing the newspapers overseas and setting up outlets in advance.

The entire development process was so abstract that Zhai Yuan didn't know whether to call it a blessing or a curse.

"If we go to Taiwan to set up a branch of the September 1st Daily News at the end of the month and get official approval, and then publish it overseas, it will not be banned as long as it does not violate local regulations."

Zhai Yuan silently went over his thoughts in his mind.

Li Zhi, who was standing by, watched his boss' mouth grinning further and further, with an indescribable smile on his face, as if he was a beast seeing blood, and he might go berserk at any time.

Lizhi unconsciously shrank back, tugged at the hem of her skirt, and pretended to remain calm.

Of course, Zhai Yuan had no idea what Secretary Dabo was thinking.

At this moment, he was thinking:

Some time ago, the Ta Kung Pao listed several crimes and criticized me, and then the Wen Wei Po and the People's Daily Hong Kong Edition followed suit, and they just didn't put the label of Wang Jingwei on me.

They are all jumping for joy. If they are really capable, they can set up an office in Taiwan and publish newspapers for publicity!

Can’t get the qualification?
Eh hey!

I'll have it right away!

Next year, when there is a great change in Taiwan, the Song-Chiang dynasty will become a thing of the past and relations will ease. By then, unless my "September 1st Daily" violates the law of heaven, no one will care even if I sing red songs in the newspaper every day.

Ta Kung Pao, Wen Wei Po, Renri?
Forget about it. In the next ten years at least, the only paper media propaganda channel on both sides of the Taiwan Strait will be the "September 1st Daily".

…………

"Ta Kung Pao has criticized your newspaper for its false reporting in its column again, even though it had previously praised you for coming. How annoying!"

The construction of the Spring and Autumn Performing Arts Academy started, and a new area was designated nearby for expansion. The original Spring and Autumn Drama Class was demolished, leaving only a training classroom.

Zhai Yuan walked through the rubble and entered the classroom that had not been affected yet.

It's been a long time since I last saw Girls' Generation, and needless to say we had a very intimate conversation.

Zhou Huimin came over with a booklet, flipped through it angrily and showed it to Zhai Yuan, explaining the contents: "Although the language of Wenhui Daily is not fierce, it is annoying to hear some sarcastic remarks. And Ming Pao said that you sell newspapers at low prices to drive out your competitors. Is it wrong to be cheap? And there is also a great writer named Ni Zhuo from Oriental Daily News, who specially wrote a column saying that the novel The Three-Body Problem serialized in your newspaper is garbage. I really want to beat his pig head off..."

The booklet in Xiao Zhou's hand looks a bit like the popular yearbook.

It is a thick book, but there are no comments from classmates in it. It is full of newspaper news collected from various sources, basically covering all kinds of comments on Zhai Yuan in Hong Kong newspapers.

It made Zhai Yuan feel like he was being watched.

"When did you become my fanatical fan? You're looking for my whereabouts everywhere. You might as well join the paparazzi team of the September 1st Daily News!"

Zhai Yuan slammed the booklet shut and ignored the negative comments inside. He put his arms around Zhou Huimin's waist and lifted her up to sit on his lap. He scratched her delicate nose and said teasingly, "But even if you join the paparazzi, you can't take a sneak shot of me. Do you know why?" "Huh?" Zhou Huimin frowned in confusion.

Zhai Yuan once again showed his skill in oil painting, playing with her hair and said slowly: "After all, when your autumn water eyes appear in the crowd, they are as dazzling as fireflies in the dark night. I can find you in a minute even if there are thousands of mountains and seas between us."

The slutty guy couldn't get the upper hand over Chung Chu-hung, but he had no problem dealing with a young girl like Chow Hui-man.

Zhou Huimin leaned softly on Zhai Yuan's shoulder, aggrieved: "You haven't come to see me for a while."

"Busy~"

Zhai Yuan stroked Zhou Huimin's hair and said perfunctorily, hooking his finger at Ye Yuqing who was standing beside him.

"How was the rehearsal?"

"I'll show you on stage tonight~"

Ye Yuqing glanced at Li Zhi standing at the door - the only outsider in the whole place - and puffed out her chest as if in protest. She pushed Zhou Huimin aside and sat astride Zhai Yuan's legs, her voice so coquettish that it seemed to squeeze water out of her.

Zhou Huimin looked dissatisfied.

Secretary Li was stunned.

After witnessing Moon Lee, Loletta Lee and Ann Bridgewater behaving intimately with Zhai Yuan one after another, his head was buzzing.

There was also a Japanese girl named Noriko Sakai, who was in her teens but had already learned to take Boss Zhai's arms and hold them against her chest and act coquettishly, a little seductively.

Lizhi feels that she is becoming more and more familiar with the dark side of the entertainment industry!

Zhai Yuan has nothing to hide. Anyway, there have been several scandals hyped up recently. After being called the 'stock market sniper', the media has given him the nickname 'female star sniper' and he doesn't care about the outside world's opinion.

Mr. Zhai’s house will never collapse, because it is already in ruins.

…………

The "September 1st Daily" is so rotten that it is unbearable to read.

When sending Girls' Generation to the Hung Hom Stadium, Zhai Yuan asked Secretary Li to buy a copy of the best-selling Oriental Daily and take a look at it.

The news on the front page was the Hang Seng Index reporting on the Hong Kong Stock Exchange’s 20 achievements in its first anniversary.

The photo of Li Fuzhao, who was demoted to vice chairman, was placed in the center, and his contributions to the financial industry were widely publicized, while his wrong decision to close the exchange during the stock market crash was downplayed.

You can tell at a glance that a lot of money was spent.

The second edition announced that the British troops stationed in Hong Kong were gradually withdrawing and would complete their full withdrawal in 95.

The third page is the news from Tung Wah Group of Hospitals.

'The Thousand Stars Night Charity Concert raised funds for the Tung Wah Group of Hospitals for the disabled, and Hong Kong film and television stars responded enthusiastically.'

“The three hospitals and Nine One Entertainment have joined hands to raise funds and will hold a charity performance at the Heung Kong Coliseum in Hung Hom, Kowloon tonight (October 10).”

"Ms. Lau Po Wing Kam, Chairperson of the Tung Wah Group of Hospitals, said in her speech... Mr. Zhai Yuan, Director of Nine One Entertainment, is hosting a concert for the first time as the organizer. It is suspected that there will be a killer. Everyone is welcome to come in and find out..."

Zhai Yuan sat in the car and closed the newspaper.

"I've been busy with some business matters lately and I'm very tired. I can't come over to supervise you."

Taking Zhou Huimin's hand and squeezing it, Zhai Yuan said to the pretty girls around him, "I won't watch the rehearsal. I'll watch it on stage tonight. This is a charity concert initiated by the Tung Wah Group of Hospitals. TVB will broadcast it live in Southeast Asia. This is the first time that Girls' Generation will be on stage. Don't let me down."

The cohesion of the six girls of Girls' Generation reached its peak at this moment.

Jealousy should be put aside for the time being.

Take the stage tonight and make a splash!
