Rebirth of Hong Kong - 1978

Chapter 2274 Entering the Magazine
Liu Zhenwei and Hong Qide were brought into Lin Daoqiu's office.

"Presumably this is Editor-in-Chief Hong."

After the two entered the door, Lin Daoqiu stood up from the chair.

Hong Qide trotted forward quickly, and then held Lin Daoqiu's outstretched hand with both hands.

"Hi, Mr. Lin, I'm Hong Qide, thank you for taking time out of your busy schedule to see me."

Lin Daoqiu was a huge cash cow to Hong Qide, once he could climb this towering tree, he would not have to worry about it for the rest of his life.

For the editor-in-chief of a small magazine, Hong Qide had no chance of getting ahead at all.

His most likely result is to continue working in this magazine and then retire at the end.

But before, by chance, he met Liu Zhenwei.

And it was precisely because of his acquaintance with Liu Zhenwei that he was able to meet Lin Daoqiu, the head of Xiangjiang film and television industry.

Hong Qide felt that he was luckier than winning the lottery, he didn't know how to express his gratitude to Liu Zhenwei.

"Editor Hong, you're being polite, this way please."

Lin Daoqiu invited Liu Zhenwei and Hong Qide to sit on the sofa next to him.

The reason why Hong Qide was called today was naturally for the matter of Xiangjiang Hundred Flowers.

And it was a little different from what Hong Qide thought, Lin Daoqiu's Xiangjiang Hundred Flowers had not only well-known female stars, but also a group of potential stocks.

Divided into actresses in the teens to twenties age group.

Although we don't talk about black-box operations, as long as an actress can make it to this list, she will naturally attract the attention of the industry.

After all, filmmakers in movies now basically keep their eyes on those actresses.

As long as there is any big production, the heroine must be chosen from among them.

This is actually not a good thing for Xiangjiang's film industry. What Lin Daoqiu wants more is to contend among a hundred schools of thought.

"Last night, Zhen Wei mentioned to me that Editor-in-Chief Hong wanted to make this Xiangjiang Hundred Flowers Book. I think it's very interesting. You can give it a try."

Hong Qide nodded as he listened, he basically had room to intervene now, basically he listened to what Lin Daoqiu said.

"It would be a waste if only some of the top female stars are listed in this Hong Kong Hundred Flowers Book."

"What does Mr. Lin mean? Do you want to add some new actors?"

Lin Daoqiu had just finished speaking, and Hong Qide immediately understood.

"It is impossible for a magazine to sell magazines only for certain audiences. If it can expand the customer base, I believe Editor-in-Chief Hong will be very happy."

What Lin Daoqiu said is correct, but it is not an easy task to expand the customer base.

Older and younger, and some younger, these categories of readers like basically the opposite of what they like.

Except for those novels written by famous writers and serialized in newspapers and magazines, it is basically difficult to find something that can interest everyone.

But if this Hong Kong Hundred Flowers Book can provide the selection of the top and new actresses, it will naturally attract the attention of male readers of very different ages.

"Xiangjiang Baihuapu can be divided into two types of selections, the selection of the most popular actress and the most promising newcomer, each magazine can attach a postcard, voted by readers plus votes from both sides of the editorial department of the magazine. Famous times."

The reason why readers' votes are not directly used to determine the rankings is because some people will use this method to swipe their votes.

After all, buying magazines is anonymous, and this voting method is also held anonymously.

Once a certain female star appears at that time who wants to increase her popularity, and then spends money to buy multiple copies of impurities, and then finds someone to vote for her, it is tantamount to destroying the Xiangjiang created by Lin Daoqiu The original intention of Baihuapu.

"Mr. Lin's method is really great. I didn't expect you to have thought out all the steps. I really admire you."

What Hong Qide said sounded like flattery, but in fact what he said was the truth.

Because as soon as he entered the door, Lin Daoqiu had already explained clearly what to do in this event.

In the future, Hong Qide and his editors only need to implement what Lin Daoqiu said, and there will definitely be no problems at that time.

"Editor Hong is too polite. I'm just offering some suggestions. You will be responsible for how to implement them at that time..."

Lin Daoqiu continued: "There is another matter, I want to discuss it with Editor-in-Chief Hong."

"Mr. Lin, please tell me."

Hong Qide nodded quickly.

"I want to buy your magazine."

When Lin Daoqiu said these words, the expression on Hong Qide's face was completely shocked.

He didn't expect that Lin Daoqiu wanted to buy his magazine. He had never heard Liu Zhenwei mention this matter before.

In fact, Lin Daoqiu wanted to buy the magazine that Hong Qide worked for for a very simple reason.

After all, once this Xiangjiang Hundred Flowers Book is released, it will definitely be very popular.

Although I don't know how long this idea can make this magazine popular, but I am the one who has to contribute.

Lin Daoqiu didn't want to help them in vain, so he must buy this magazine.

It doesn't matter if Hong Qide's boss disagrees, Lin Daoqiu will naturally not help them stand, let alone give them a helping hand.

Without Lin Daoqiu's assistance, the Xiangjiang Hundred Flowers Book they launched would naturally not have much influence.

So in Lin Daoqiu's view, as long as the conditions he offered were suitable, Hong Qide's boss would not reject his offer.

"If Mr. Lin really wants to buy my magazine, then I believe it should not be too difficult."

In Hong Qide's view, Lin Daoqiu's purchase of his magazine should be a matter of little effort.

Unless his boss was crazy, he would be willing to miss this once-in-a-lifetime opportunity. After all, the price Lin Daoqiu gave would definitely be higher than the world's price.

"If that's the case, then I'll trouble Editor-in-Chief Hong to be your matchmaker. After the magazine is bought by me, you will continue to be the editor-in-chief of this magazine."

Hong Qide was naturally happy to work for Lin Daoqiu, and when he thought of this, his enthusiasm came.

"Mr. Lin, don't worry, I'll go back and contact my boss, and persuade him to agree to sell the magazine as soon as possible."

After Hong Qide finished speaking, he stood up directly from the chair. It seemed that he really planned to do what he said.

Just when Hong Qide was about to leave Lin Daoqiu's office, Lin Daoqiu suddenly stopped him from behind.

"Editor Hong, I hope that the matter of Xiangjiang Baihuapu will not be disclosed to others for the time being."

When Hong Qide heard it, he immediately understood.

"Mr. Lin, don't worry, I know what to do."
