Treasure Island 1992, starting from the Four Little Heavenly Kings

Just when the news about "Zheng He's Voyages" from Hong Kong and Taiwan was in full swing, on December 21, ATV announced that the first Asia Grand Ceremony would adopt a ticket sales model.

As soon as this news was announced, it immediately caused an uproar.

The so-called ticket sales model means that in this TV festival hosted by ATV, in addition to the invited personnel, other auditorium seats will be sold through ticket sales.

Selling tickets seems like a common thing.

But actually this is anything but ordinary.

You know, so far, Hong Kong has gathered many major awards, but this is the first time that audiences need to buy tickets to enter.

Even Hong Kong's most prestigious Academy Awards did not allow viewers to buy tickets, but gave them away for free.

It can be said that this move of the Asian Television Festival has set a precedent.

And this precedent has inevitably aroused resentment from some audiences who want to attend the show to see celebrities.

In addition to the audience, the major media also complained about this.

Because, ATV's move will directly require those newspapers and media who have not received invitations and want to be in vain to pay to enter.

It was supposed to be free admission to shoot live footage, but now you have to pay.

Although the ticket price is not too expensive, only 100 Hong Kong dollars.

But free and paid are completely different.

Just like the fees charged for TV dramas in later generations, it's not that I can't afford the money, but everyone thinks, why should I pay when I can get it for free?

Therefore, it can be said that ATV's move has offended a large number of media reporters.

If you offend journalists, especially if there are many small newspapers among them, there will definitely be a price to pay.

The next day, major newspapers and tabloids in Hong Kong that were not invited took the lead in targeting ATV over this matter.

"ATV's eating looks so ugly, you need to buy a ticket to enter the awards"

"After Chen Qiming took charge of ATV, ATV became a company that only cares about money"

"Well-known media person Ma Yang commented on the charge for admission to the ATV awards, believing that ATV is destroying its own city wall"

"Many Chen Qiming fans have publicly stated that they will not buy tickets to watch the Asian Television Festival. Chen Qiming shot himself in the foot. No one may watch the Asian Television Festival."

The most indispensable thing in this world is people who are not afraid of heaven and earth.

Chen Qiming is indeed very powerful in Hong Kong. He is very popular among superiors, peers, and the audience.

But, so what if it’s powerful?

Major newspapers may also worry about retaliation.

The tabloids won't worry about offending him.

As a small, impoverished newspaper, they don’t have a brand. Even if they collapse tomorrow, they don’t have to worry. The worst they can do is change their name and become a newspaper again.

Therefore, they were not worried that Chen Qiming would mess with them, and directly attacked Chen Qiming on this matter.

Chen Qiming had actually expected this.

All along, Chen Qiming has never been short of reporters criticizing him.

Among the reporters who are slandering him, except for the big newspapers that have been targeting him, almost all of them are from small newspapers.

On the contrary, it's the small newspapers. They just want to make money and gain reputation, and they have no bottom line at all.

No matter what news comes to them, it will always be exaggerated.

So when he announced that admission to the Asian Television Festival would be charged, he expected the tabloids to attack him.

Originally, Chen Qiming didn't want to pay attention to these tabloids.

Who would have thought that, perhaps after seeing him ignoring him, these newspapers would become more and more outrageous.

In the newspapers on the third day, some newspapers even published news like "Chen Qiming was also exposed to unspoken rules when he entered the industry. It was revealed that he was the lover of a young woman who was a senior executive in a company, and that's how he came to the fore."

After seeing the news, Chen Qiming became angry.

There is actually a lot of sexy news about himself, but those news are analyzed and speculated from a normal perspective, and are not reported in a solid tone. But this time, the report by the newspaper called Entertainment Kandian News was a real slander and slander.

Chen Qiming has never tolerated this kind of newspaper.

On the same day, he took this medium-sized newspaper to court for defamation, fabrication of facts, and slander, demanding that the other party compensate him for mental damages of HK$5 million.

This is not the end.

That afternoon, he asked ATV to issue a far-reaching announcement.

The announcement stated that a large number of newspapers will be prohibited from entering the Asian Television Festival held on the 28th.

The announcement directly named these newspapers.

Not only the Asian Television Festival, but also ATV and all events attended by Chen Qiming in the future, these named newspapers will be refused entry.

In addition, the announcement also highlighted that at this Asian Television Festival, except for invited reporters, reporters can go to the interview area for interviews.

No one else is allowed to bring cameras into the venue. For this reason, the TV station will have special personnel to conduct inspections.

This announcement from ATV immediately stunned countless newspapers in Hong Kong and Taiwan.

All the newspapers on the list were in a frenzy.

As the uncrowned king.

Hong Kong and Taiwan journalists have become extremely arrogant in recent years.

Few celebrities or even companies would dare to target them so openly.

Even if they do, they will be forced to sue them in court later.

This situation of directly choosing to go head-to-head with the Uncrowned King has never happened before.

These newspapers were gearing up and began to formulate newspapers one after another, almost all of which were about news that could discredit Chen Qiming's image.

However, these newspapers have not yet published it.

A piece of news from the court directly caused these newspapers to stop slandering Chen Qiming.

The message is simple.

When Chen Qiming paid to jump in line, the court accepted Chen Qiming's case against Kandian Entertainment on the same day.

As a result, Kandian Entertainment was ordered to compensate Chen Qiming three million for mental damages.

In addition, the key point is that the court also fined Kandian Entertainment up to HK$10 million for several crimes including violating the spirit of the media.

Moreover, the fine for this crime does not support appeal.

Good guy, a little slander and slander actually caused Kandian Entertainment to go bankrupt, and the boss was directly saddled with millions of debts.

This directly frightened those newspapers who were preparing to use all kinds of fabricated news to smear Chen Qiming.

Anyone with a discerning eye can see that this is a move from above.

Obviously, these newspapers' actions to smear Chen Qiming made their superiors unhappy.

Take this opportunity to directly kill the chicken and scare the monkey, and warn the following newspapers not to mess around.

It wasn't until this moment that many people remembered.

Chen Qiming is not just a celebrity and capital boss.

He is now an international superstar and a symbol of China in the world.

Because of him, the country's image has directly risen to more than one level in the past two years.

In addition, whenever the country is in trouble, Chen Qiming is the first to take action.

During the economic crisis alone, he personally helped banks with billions of dollars.

For such a person, how could the higher authorities allow these entertainment reporters to mess with Chen Qiming's reputation?
