Movie tycoon

Chapter 793 The Working Emperor
If it is said that Chen Xiaotang's success in the past was largely based on the hype of public opinion, whether it was a movie, his solo album, or his private life, they were almost all the focus of public opinion tracking and reporting.

However, according to Chen Xiaotang's current status and wealth, there is no need to make any hype, because his every move will almost become the focus of attention, such as being invited to participate in the annual charity auction of Hong Kong ATV meeting.

Charity auctions have a long history in Hong Kong. Most of the occasions are fundraising activities held by Hong Kong's upper class.Therefore, charity activities are a special cultural activity in Hong Kong.It is also a big stage for Hong Kong's upper class to demonstrate the spirit of compassion and rescue.

Originally, Chen Xiaotang was having a headache about the script and had no time to attend such a party. However, this was the first time he was invited by ATV after his comeback, and there was still a very ambiguous cooperative relationship between him and ATV. Don’t forget that Chen Xiaotang once put He sold his self-produced TV series to ATV to fight against TVB, and he almost became a major shareholder of ATV. Even so, Chen Xiaotang and ATV are still very friendly; let alone a charity auction, no matter from which aspect Speaking, it is necessary for oneself to participate.

That night.

The brightly lit hall, the stage covered with red carpet, and the flashing lights are in a line. The beautiful woman in a gorgeous cheongsam on the stage is Lin Jianming, the head host of ATV.

Generally speaking, if a woman chooses a man's name, it will appear that her fate is excellent, her marriage is not good, and her career is prosperous.This is also appropriate for Lin Jianming.This woman participated in the "Miss Beach" election hosted by Li's TV in her early years and won the championship, so she was called "Sister Sha" or "Big Sister Ming"; She shaved her head in the play, which can be said to be bold. Later, she starred in the tertiary film "Provincial and Hong Kong Liuying", which had a dew point performance, but it was a pity that the famous people in the play were not popular; later she chose to host the industry, but she was very successful. Shui Qi is now the head host of ATV.

Today's charity reception is jointly held by the Hong Kong Charity Federation, the Hong Kong Red Cross and Asia Television to raise funds for disabled children in Hong Kong.

Probably no one would have thought that this charity gala would be upgraded to such a high standard. The experienced Lin Jianming even trembled with excitement.

"The guests attending today's charity gala include Hong Kong Governor Mr. Wei Yixin, his wife Ms. Lucy, and Mr. Chen Xiaotang, Chairman of Hong Kong Magic Shadow Group!"

Immediately after Lin Jianming's slightly excited treble, there was warm applause from the audience, and the dazzling lampposts were projected on a table. Baron Wilson, the governor of Hong Kong, his wife, Ms. Lucy, and Chen Xiaotang, chairman of the Moying Group They all smiled.

Chen Xiaotang was sitting next to Wei Yixin, with a friendly smile on his face. Perhaps this kind of attendance can only be experienced at the gate of Hong Kong. If it is a reception in Hollywood, it is impossible to be so "serious". No matter what kind of banquet or party it is, there will be a rare hippie spirit, which makes people very relaxed and comfortable; although Hong Kong combines Chinese and Western cultural exchanges, it has British conservative and Chinese class consciousness in this respect, so it is similar to a party It looked very solemn.

As one of the top stars in the world today, Chen Xiaotang has long been used to the way of dealing with any occasion, for example, now, he looks very elegant, dignified, and full of gentlemanly demeanor.

Hong Kong celebrities gathered at the dinner, but the one who attracted the most attention from the Hong Kong media was Chen Xiaotang, the first Chinese actor in the world. It can even be said that the attendance of the Governor of Hong Kong was not as sensational as Chen Xiaotang's attendance at the dinner.What's more, Hong Kong citizens don't care much about politics, but they are eager for entertainment news, especially Chen Xiaotang, who has many identities in one, such as Oscar Chinese actor, young rich man in the world, entertainment tycoon, king of kung fu, etc., under the cover of countless titles and brilliance, Every move of Chen Xiaotang can be said to be the selling point of the news, but it is a pity that after winning the Oscar winner, Chen Xiaotang announced that he would temporarily take a break from acting, causing many media to lose their targets. His disappearance made many media feel distressed .Now it's hard to show up, but due to official restrictions, I can't do interviews.

In fact, the reason why Chen Xiaotang agreed to participate in the charity event organized by ATV is, on the one hand, it is to give ATV face, and on the other hand, it is related to the welfare plan of the British Hong Kong government.

In Chen Xiaotang's view, Hong Kong's welfare system is considered good in the world, but it is far from enough compared to the real developed regions.Hong Kong is a small place, but it has to support more than 600 million people. With the development of time, children and the elderly will become the focus of government assistance.

Chen Xiaotang has always had a belief that if you are poor, you are alone, and you are responsible for helping the world.

In his opinion, if he can make some contribution to disabled children in Hong Kong with his own charisma, let alone attend a charity event, it is also possible to star in a movie without paying a penny.

Chen Xiaotang's promise to attend made Hong Kong governor Wei Yixin, who was planning to go back to the UK for vacation, hear about it, and even volunteered to attend the event, and he brought his family to attend. Such a change made a very ordinary charity dinner quickly upgraded to the The most important event for Hong Kong celebrities.

"Mr. Smith, Mrs. Emily, Chief Secretary for Administration!"

"Mr. Shao Yifu, Chairman of the Board of Directors of Hong Kong Shaw Group!"

"Mr. Li Jiacheng of Cheung Kong Industrial Co., Ltd., and his wife, Ms. Wu Jie and Zhuang Yueming!"

With Lin Jianming's emcee's delicate and crisp high-pitched voice.Lampposts projected onto the tables.

When Chen Xiaotang heard Mr. Shao Yifu from the Shaw Group.Can't help but look to the next table.The all-powerful movie tycoon was smiling and beckoning to Chen Xiaotang.Chen Xiaotang also nodded with a smile.

To be honest, Chen Xiaotang never thought that Daheng Shao would attend this charity event organized by ATV as a guest. You must know that ATV and TVB are rivals.However, Chen Xiaotang can imagine that there are two reasons why Shao Daheng will attend. First, he does his part in charity work, regardless of each other; second, he respects ATV as his opponent very much, so he was invited Attend.

finally.Lin Jianming's tone became even more high-pitched. "LT Apparel Company, our 'fashion queen' Ms. Weng Meiling!"

The lamp post quickly projected to the first table in the west row.Wearing a black dress, Weng Meiling is unparalleled in beauty.Dreamy under the lights.Like a beautiful angel.

Although most of the journalists present today were from serious news outlets, and there were not many entertainment journalists, the flashing lights at that moment were even more dazzling than when introducing other female guests.

The legendary "Pretty Huang Rong" seems to be at the center of the stage no matter what the occasion.

Yes, that’s right, now Weng Meiling has almost quit the show business circle, and has become the chief designer of a clothing company jointly invested by Chen Xiaotang and Pan Dickson. One letter, won the recognition of international high-end brands, and became the first Chinese "fashion queen" to reach the top.

The success of Weng Meiling's career is definitely a miracle. Even Chen Xiaotang, who was helping behind, was speechless after hearing about it.Now most of the Hong Kong media have received news that Weng Meiling is planning to move closer to the entertainment industry in addition to the clothing brand, and is preparing to acquire ATV in a joint venture with a mysterious person. It is said that negotiations are in progress. Her appearance today does not confirm this statement. .

If Weng Meiling can really succeed in the acquisition, it will have a huge boost to the Hong Kong film and television music scene and even the media industry. Probably not only Hong Kong, but the whole world does not know how many eyes are on the past. Battle TV.

But when we were taking pictures, everyone was a little curious. Under the bright lamppost, who is the young and charming woman sitting next to Weng Meiling? Even if she is beside the dazzling Weng Meiling, she is still full of confidence Even the beautiful Weng Meiling couldn’t suppress her beauty. She was dressed in a red evening dress, she was fashionable and sexy, and she was charming. Sitting with Weng Meiling, the two were beautiful, but they were more beautiful than flowers. At that moment, the twinkling The lights seemed to have lost their brilliance.

"And Miss Qiao Anqi!" Lin Jianming finally called out the name of the mysterious guest beside Weng Meiling.After all, according to the inside information she received, this young girl is likely to become their big boss. Although Ms. Qiao and Weng Meiling acquired Asia TV in a joint venture, it is impossible for Weng Meiling, who leads the clothing brand, to stay in the company to manage the TV station. Ms. Qiao may be the one who is directly responsible for the operation of the TV station. Although she is a little jealous of this young and beautiful girl, Lin Jianming knows that if she wants to become popular in ATV, she cannot do without Miss Qiao's care.

When the host called out the name, some well-informed reporters immediately recognized her: Qiao Anqi, isn't Qiao Anqi the only daughter of Hong Kong's invisible rich man Qiao Jingyao, the granddaughter of the film kingdom Dianmao Group? !No wonder people want to buy ATV, it turns out they are going back to their old profession.

Chen Xiaotang looked at the table with a smile. He knew that Weng Meiling would come to this event, and the reason why Weng Meiling bought ATV was also his suggestion, hoping to make his clothing brand bigger with the help of TV programs.As for Weng Meiling's final decision to join hands with others to acquire ATV, he also heard about it, but what he never expected was that the person Weng Meiling joined forces with would be Qiao Anqi, the eldest lady of the Qiao family!

This girl who has always been crazy and human has really grown up. Seeing her calm and calm expression, she looks like a father. How can she still be the unruly princess she knew before? !

Chen Xiaotang thought it was funny when he thought about it, the world is big, from Spain to Hong Kong, and then from Hong Kong to England, there is always the shadow of Qiao Anqi by his side, maybe she will become an indirect partner now.

Alas, the relationship is really messy, and the people and things around me never seem to follow common sense.

Over there, Lin Jianming continued to introduce the guests.

"Mr. Huang Zhan, Honorary Chairman of Magic Shadow Music Company, Mr. Wang Jing, Honorary Chairman of Magic Shadow Film Company!"

Following Lin Jianming's introduction, Chen Xiaotang looked at his right-hand man, and the old man Huang Zhanzheng got up and greeted everyone with a smile.Over the years, the old man has added a lot of gray hair. It is undeniable that the rise and growth of the ghosts, the old man Huang has contributed a lot, especially in the music company. As the honorary chairman, he doesn't have to take so many jobs anymore, but he is used to hard work, but he still can't stay idle, and he doesn't know when the degenerate life he yearns for, drinking red wine, smoking cigars, and watching Japanese chicks striptease will come true.

Looking at Fatty Wang Jing again, this fellow still looks like a harmless little fat man, but everyone knows that he has a notorious reputation as a "smiling tiger" in Moying Entertainment. Many times, Chen Xiaotang's inconvenient things are all due to him Come be the villain.He helped Chen Xiaotang block a lot of ups and downs and spittle. Of course, in order to repay this guy, Chen Xiaotang also gave him a lot of benefits, especially during the time in Tokyo, Japan, the fat man lived almost like a king.Now that the transfer of power is relegated to the second line, the fat man is still pulled back by Chen Xiaotang to do his old job. He writes scripts and makes movies. Jing is by far the most powerful "working emperor".

Seeing the host introducing himself, Fatty Wang waved his hands coquettishly and bowed frequently. Seeing Chen Xiaotang looking at him, he even winked at him, showing no dignity at all.

"Dear Chen, you are such an interesting pair of right and left arm. You are a strong soldier, and what you say is true!" Hong Kong governor Wei Yixin, who was sitting next to Chen Xiaotang, laughed.

"Your Excellency, the governor of Hong Kong, I'll let them come over to meet you later. Maybe you need to take care of something in the future!"

"What's the point, maybe I will ask them for something in the future!" Wei Yixin said with a smile.

While Chen Xiaotang was joking with Hong Kong Governor Wilson Wilson, tonight's charity event officially started.

"The following is our exciting moment of hope, and I hope that all benevolent people will donate generously!"

Following the words of a male master of ceremonies, the lights in the hall dimmed, and the lampposts focused on the stage. The first auctioned item was a painting by a blind child in the Hongying Welfare Institute in Hong Kong, called "Brightness" ", in the eyes of experts, this painting is very immature, but the pair of eyes eager to see the light in the picture gives people an unspeakable taste.

"50!" The first person to raise the hope card was Ms. Lucy, the wife of the governor of Hong Kong. She had a rich net worth and set the tone for this auction.

Naturally, no one competed with Ms. Lucy, and soon "Brightness" was sold for 50 yuan. Ms. Lucy came to the stage to receive the painting, holding a big check and props to take a photo. She picked up the microphone gracefully and said: "This painting , to one of my favorite movie stars——Mr. Lafite Chen. Welcome his comeback to the film industry, and welcome him to create good works!"

There was warm applause in the hall, and Chen Xiaotang also applauded with a smile.

After Ms. Lucy stepped down, she smiled and gave "Brightness" to Chen Xiaotang as a gift. Chen Xiaotang took it solemnly and said seriously: "Thank you!"

After the first piece of work was taken by table No. [-], the atmosphere of the auction of the rest of the works became active, and bidding was triggered from time to time. Most of the works in the auction were handicrafts made by disabled children in welfare homes, and the value of each auction was average. In the hundreds of thousands or so.

As a rare female guest at this event, "Pretty Huang Rong" Weng Meiling and "The Unruly Princess" Qiao Anqi also took a picture of a handmade product from the children. Weng Meiling took a picture of a childish bracelet, and Qiao Anqi took a picture A rag doll made by a girl with a broken arm with one hand cost 80 million yuan to both of them.

When the auction was almost at the end, Qiu Degen, the behind-the-scenes boss of Asia TV, showed up. As the owner of the organizer this time, he had to take out one thing for a cutscene auction, which was considered the finale.

Different from other auction items, what Qiu Degen put up for auction was nothing but a draft icon symbolizing the ATV brand.That is, the graphic draft paper for the initial design of the ATV icon.

A thin piece of draft paper, on which ATV's long-standing logo is outlined, is framed in a gold-encrusted frame, and held in the hands of the master of ceremonies, it looks grand and solemn.

Holding a microphone, ATV President Qiu Degen said: "This icon was designed by someone when I entered ATV. Its implication is to create brilliance and be proud of Asia. Although it looks simple, it took us a lot of effort; today's world Time has changed. Although ATV has developed in my hands, it is far from being revitalized and proud of Asia. I hope that in the future, someone can inherit the will of our ATV people and continue to carry forward ATV! Let’s not talk about it, let’s start auctioning this draft of the logo now, in a word, no matter who it is, the highest bidder will get it, after all, it’s a charity event!”

It has to be said that as soon as the draft of the logo symbolizing "ATV" appeared, it immediately caused waves at the auction. When the price climbed to 80 yuan, Qiao Anqi, the eldest lady of the Qiao family, raised the price tag without hesitation. With a voice like the sounds of nature, she said: "200 million! Miss Weng and I are two people." The tone was crisp and sharp, quite demeanor of a strong woman.

Immediately there was warm applause in the hall. Everyone knew that if Qiao Anqi and Weng Meiling were determined to win this cake, it would also represent their determination to jointly acquire Asia Television.

This dinner is not about getting richer. Although there are occasional competitions, everyone is very rational. After all, who is sitting here is not unfathomable?Even if there is a festival, how can they be grudges here?

Qiao Anqi held up the cards, and naturally no one was arguing with her, but just when the master of ceremonies was about to drop the auction hammer, someone raised a card at a table.

The master of ceremonies was stunned for a moment, but still quoted: "210 million! Mr. Yang Shoucheng at No. 16 table bid 210 million!" Every time the card was raised, it increased by [-].

Yang Shoucheng? !

The future emperor boss? !
Chen Xiaotang looked at the No.16 table, but saw a man in his 40s with a gentle appearance and wearing glasses, who was proudly gesturing to everyone.

This person is none other than Hong Kong's future entertainment tycoon. He is at odds with the Xiang brothers and is fighting for hegemony in Xiangjiang.
