Return to Hong Kong Island for a Century

Chapter 359 Interview (First Update)
Li Song glanced at the program host, who was from Taiwan and whose name was Zhu Hailing!
I hosted a movie talk show on Phoenix TV called "Movie Talk"!
We do three sessions every Monday, Wednesday, and Friday!
The main purpose is to invite people to evaluate movies or to invite movie directors and screenwriters to talk about their movies.

Of course, I will also criticize some bad movies.

Anyway, the host's hosting style is quite bold; he dares to ask any kind of question.

At that time, the hosts and programs on Hong Kong and Taiwan were much bolder than those that followed; they dared to say anything.

Li Song particularly admires Fei Yuqing's performances, especially his hosting of programs. He likes to make suggestive remarks and often gets caught up in the jokes before others even realize the seriousness of the situation.

Although Taiwan has banned Li Song and Phoenix TV's Wonderful Magazine!

However, this does not prevent Qimiao Magazine from being sold privately in Taiwan!

Some are genuine, some are pirated!
Most importantly, Phoenix TV's offer was very attractive.

Taiwan has its own local television stations, but it's still very difficult to debut locally.

After getting his makeup done, Li Song arrived at the studio.

Most programs are pre-recorded.

"Boss, I didn't expect you to be even more handsome than you look on TV." Just as Li Song saw the program schedule, Zhu Hailing came to the dressing room because she had just gone to discuss changes to the plan with the director!
Li Song was putting on makeup and couldn't stand up to shake hands with the other person, so he sat in the chair, extended his hand, and said, "Welcome to Phoenix TV!"

"Thank you, boss!" Zhu Hailing was wearing a white suit jacket, and her short hair gave her a very capable look.

The hosts of the talk shows all dressed quite formally.

Although talk shows are also entertainment programs!
Because if the host dresses formally, it gives the audience the impression that they are more professional.

"Boss, the questions the program will ask later might be difficult for you to answer. Please bear with me," Zhu Hailing added.
"Can I refuse to answer?" Li Song chuckled.

"No." Zhu Hailing laughed after saying that.

After getting their makeup done, everyone went into the studio. However, Li Song and the other guests did not go on stage first, but watched from behind the scenes!

Good evening, everyone!

"Today I'm bringing you Jinling Films. This movie will be released on the 25th, and I believe you've all seen it in the newspapers!"

"The little notebooks are protesting everywhere about the release of this movie."

"This time, we've invited some of the film's actors to talk about the movie!"

"We also have... " Li Song and several other guests were watching from behind the scenes!

However, Zhu Hailing didn't pronounce the words clearly, so she had to repeat herself.

That's how pre-recorded broadcasts work; they have a high margin for error.

Of course, you can't make too many mistakes, because making too many mistakes will not only waste film, but also waste time!

"First, let's invite Qian Xiaohao, an actor who is participating in this film. He and I are in the same boat," Zhu Hailing said.

The phrase "sharing the same fate" refers to the fact that both individuals are from Taiwan and were subsequently blacklisted by Taiwan.

Qian Xiaohao was very handsome when he was young. This time, he wore a dark-colored Zhongshan suit, which made him look clean and neat.

Qian Xiaohao was greeted with enthusiastic applause from below the stage!

These people who come to fill in are usually family members of TV station employees, and they are paid a certain amount per show.

This makes these people more obedient. If you're looking for part-time work, someone might deliberately cause trouble.

"Thank you, Hailing!"

"I think I'm doing great right now!" Qian Xiaohao said after taking the microphone and thanking everyone.

"That's good, I'm doing fine now!" Zhu Hailing said.

Then Qi Meizhen and Zhao Yazhi went on stage and exchanged a few pleasantries with each other.

"Let's welcome our special guest for this episode, Mr. Li Song, a world-renowned writer, a famous Hong Kong businessman and billionaire, and the handsome boss of Phoenix TV!" Zhu Hailing said loudly, clapping her hands as she spoke.

Some of the audience members below the author also stood up and applauded.

Li Song, wearing a black jacket, strode onto the stage, took the microphone, and said, "Don't believe Hai Ling's words. She said backstage that she was afraid I would get angry if she asked some rather presumptuous questions, which is why she described me that way."

"Wow!!"

"Boss, I'm a very honest person!" Zhu Hailing didn't expect Li Song to react so quickly.

"Everyone, tell me if I'm right or not!" Zhu Hailing turned to the other audience members and asked.
Someone in the audience shouted, "That's right, Mr. Li is the most conscientious billionaire in Hong Kong."

"Thank you, thank you!" Li Song clasped his hands together on stage to express his gratitude to the audience member.

Zhu Hailing turned to Qian Xiaohao, who was sitting next to her, and asked, "You don't seem to have answered my question?"

Qian Xiaohao, who was clapping, didn't expect Zhu Hailing to come at him again, so he chuckled and said, "I don't have your thick skin, flattering the boss in front of so many people."

"Wow!!" "I didn't expect you to be so handsome, yet so rude."

"Just you wait and see, see how I ask you questions later," Zhu Hailing added.

"Welcome, welcome," Qian Xiaohao replied with a smile.

"Then I won't ask a single question today."

“After all, the boss is there,” Zhu Hailing added.

Then everyone burst into laughter.

Then everyone sat down, with Li Song sitting alone in a chair on the far left of the stage!

Further to the right, Qi Meizhen and Zhao Yazhi are sitting in a double chair, followed by the host Zhu Hailing, and on the far right is Qian Xiaohao.

"I'm sure everyone is curious about the boss, so let's start by asking him a question: Do you have a girlfriend?" Zhu Hailing's first question was quite pointed!

"Huh?" Li Song sighed upon hearing this.
He leaned forward to look to the side, then turned his head to look around again.

Just as everyone was wondering, Li Song finally spoke up and said, "I thought I had walked into the wrong studio and ended up on a relationship talk show!"

"Does everyone want to hear the boss's answer?" Zhu Hailing wasn't buying it at all, and then asked the audience.

"Yes!!" The audience joined in the commotion.

"Okay, I have a girlfriend!" Li Song shrugged, looking defeated by all of them.

"So, boss, what are your criteria for choosing a girlfriend?" Zhu Hailing asked again.

"When I see the other person, I have an urge to hug and kiss them!"

"This proves that the magnetic fields of both bodies attract each other," Li Song said.

"Wow."

"Boss, do you simply want to kiss me?"

"I can't say too much, otherwise I won't be able to make the call and people will complain!"

"Now let's ask a formal question, boss, what are your box office expectations for the movie 'Jinling'?" Zhu Hailing asked.
"I personally think the box office can break 20 million!" Li Song replied.

"So, boss, have you seen this movie?"

"I've seen it. The movie is very well made, and the actors are all very professional."

"This film shows the spirit and courage of the Chinese nation," Li Song replied.

"Okay, thank you for your reply, boss!"

"So, Ms. Qi Meizhen, what do you personally think of this movie?" Zhu Hailing asked again.

After asking the other three people, it was Li Song's turn.

"Now that we've asked so many questions about the movie, let's ask the boss some personal questions!"

"Excuse me, sir, how much is your private jet worth approximately?" Zhu Hailing asked again.
“My private jet is priceless because it was the first aircraft manufactured by the aircraft factory. However, the basic model is worth three million US dollars, and the customized model can reach tens of millions of US dollars!” Li Song replied.

Several guests and audience members exclaimed in amazement upon hearing Li Song's answer!
"Wow!!"

"Boss, are there any pretty flight attendants on the plane?"

"No, but there are two professional pilots."

"Boss, how much are you worth right now?"

"I don't know, because my net worth is increasing every day."

"Boss, what do you think about the little notebooks protesting against Jinling Film Studio everywhere?"

"Of course it hit their sore spot. After World War II, the Germans reflected on their crimes, but the 'little notebooks' only covered up their crimes!"

“Actually, there’s no need for you to be nervous, because my film isn’t mainly about them. My main focus is on showing the indomitable spirit of our country’s residents in the face of invaders!” Li Song replied.

"So, boss, can we talk about the Taiwan boycott?" Zhu Hailing was indeed very bold, as she herself was from Taiwan and asked these questions!
"And I think their blacklisting of me is the highest praise I could receive!" Li Song answered boldly. If he weren't afraid of implicating these people, he would have started cursing.

He won't listen to what others say!

“Boss, you’re right,” Zhu Hailing said.

As a Taiwanese, Zhu Hailing naturally knew this very well, but she couldn't openly express her dissatisfaction.

After the interview, Zhu Hailing shook Li Song's hand and asked, "Boss, would you be interested in filming again next time? I still have so many questions to ask!"

"Let's make it another time!" Li Song chuckled.
"I wonder if you have time, boss? I'd like to invite you to dinner to thank you for your kindness!" Qian Xiaohao said as he shook hands with Li Song.
