Rebirth: Rising Hong Kong

"Young Master Gao, you are a smart person, sometimes I don't need to explain things too clearly!" Shi Zhijian said with a smile. "But since you asked, then I will answer you. First, you asked why you helped me. The reason is very simple, because I am Shi Zhijian! I think these three words are enough to make you come here, and they are also enough to make you come here. help me!"

Gao Zhaohui nodded, "Indeed, your name is indeed a gold-lettered signboard. Many people hope to curry favor with you, including my father—he is the one who asked me to come here today!"

"Second, how can you help me? It's very simple. Tell me a story. As a celebrity of the young generation in Bangkok, you have contacts with Li Xuexuan and Xie Bingqian, and you have pursued them. These media have reported. Then I think it's perfect for you to speak! After all, those who know the secret must be in the secret, right?"

Gao Zhaohui nodded again, "You are very good at calculating, and I am considered to be the best among young people, and the only ones who can stand by my side are the two sons of the Xie family. You are very knowledgeable!"

After Shi Zhijian picked up the teacup and drank it, "In the end, you asked what you could get, and this is what I want to tell you - I will let you be the head of the Gao family and an idol of the younger generation!"

Gao Zhaohui laughed at himself: "Aren't you the idol of the younger generation? Are you mocking me?"

"I will leave sooner or later. I don't belong to Thailand, let alone Bangkok. After I get married, I will go back to Hong Kong. At that time, the whole of Thailand and Bangkok will need a young idol of the new era to lead everyone. As far as I know, many people are already in I'm ready to move...Of course, if you don't want to, Young Master Gao, I won't force you, just pretend I didn't say anything just now!"

This trick really worked.

Gao Chaohui has always been conceited and arrogant, thinking that he is second in the world and no one is number one in the world.

Shi Zhijian will eventually leave Thailand and return to Hong Kong. At that time, the leaders of Thailand's youth generation will definitely be reshuffled. So who can come out on top and become the first person?

Conversely, if I can become the head of the Gao family with the help of Shi Zhijian, then I will become a veritable business leader, and I won't have to look at other people anymore.

Shi Zhijian observed Gao Chaohui's expressions, put down his teacup immediately, tapped his fingers on the table and said word by word, "Do you want to be your father's puppet for the rest of your life and work under his command?"

This sentence directly hit Gao Zhaohui's weakness, his expression was tangled up, and he drank the tea in one gulp.

Shi Zhijian continued to increase: "I know it well, and many people know it too. You are very good, especially talented in business, but your talent and hard work will never surpass the brilliance of your father Gao Wanjun. To be precise, no matter you No matter what achievements you make, outsiders will think that you have taken advantage of your father's light! No matter how good you are, you can only live in your father's shadow for the rest of your life!"

"You really look at me like that?" Gao Zhaohui looked at Shi Zhijian, suppressed his impulse, and grabbed the teacup fiercely.

Shi Zhijian stopped knocking on the table, and stared at Gao Zhaohui with burning eyes: "The question now is not what I think, but what do you think of yourself?"

Gao Zhaohui gritted his teeth: "Indeed, I am very unconvinced-then how are you going to help me become the head of the Gao family?" Shi Zhijian slanted his eyes.

Shi Zhijian smiled, "Since you asked, then listen to me slowly!" As he spoke, Shi Zhijian lifted the teapot and helped Gao Chaohui fill the teacup.

"If you want to become the head of the Gao family, the first element is that you can't rely on your father!"

"Nonsense! Relying on his words, wouldn't I..." As soon as Gao Chaohui said the words, he immediately saw Shi Zhijian's sharp eyes, and immediately realized that he had said something wrong. The young man opposite him was not an ordinary person. He speaks?

"Ahem, you have scary eyes, you know that?" Gao Chaohui hesitated.

Shi Zhijian restrained his sharp eyes and showed a smile on his face: "You are older than me, so don't be too restrained!"

How could Gao Zhaohui fail to hear that these words were anti-sense? Busy became a lot more respectful, and he didn't dare to be presumptuous to Shi Zhijian any more.

"You have left the Gao family, and you have to help me start!" Shi Zhijian held the teacup and turned it gently in his palm, smiling with a smile on his face, but it made Gao Chaohui tremble in his heart, "I have prepared a newspaper for you, let you do it long!"

"Eh?" Gao Zhaohui was taken aback, and said in disbelief, "What did you say, you bought a newspaper and asked me to be the president!"

"Yes!" Shi Zhijian said with a smile, "In this era, there are two major fields that can control public opinion. The first is television, and the second is newspapers! So I'm going to buy a newspaper for you to practice first, and then buy Bangkok TV. I'll leave it to you to take care of it too!"

Gao Chaohui was stunned, and looked straight at Shi Zhijian. Shi Zhijian's brain circuit was beyond his imagination.

"If you want to succeed, the fastest way is to take the route of a media tycoon! Control the media in your hands and dominate public opinion. At that time, don't talk about being the head of the Gao family. Even if you want to be the number one Chinese businessman in Bangkok, no one will dare to fight with you." Confrontation, the reason is very simple, verbal criticism is the most terrifying, the one who kills without blood will always be the one who controls the voice!"

"Media...tycoon?" Gao Zhaohui stammered a bit.

"That's right, the media tycoon!" Shi Zhijian repeated.

Gao Zhaohui frowned, stared blankly at Shi Zhijian with a teacup in his hand, and asked tentatively after a while, "Then, even if I control the newspaper and TV station, what else can I do next?"

Shi Zhijian smiled, "I'm not mistaken, your ambition is not small!"

"Can I think you are praising me with this sentence?" Gao Zhaohui said to Shi Zhijian angrily.

Shi Zhijian put down his teacup: "Of course I'm praising you! Because I need someone as ambitious as you! To be precise, Shi Zhijian needs many people like you around me, because I start my business very fast, so People who are not as good as me will be eliminated soon! Only those ambitious and expanding talents who can understand me can follow me! I don't need those generals who defend the city, what I want are heroes who expand the territory! "

These words made Gao Chaohui's blood boil, but before he lost his mind, he rubbed his face and looked at Shi Zhijian again: "Mr. Shi, I have passed the age of being painted cakes to satisfy my hunger..."

"You can change your name and call me Mr. Shi with such respect. It seems that you have already been tempted. Now that you have been tempted, then I can show you all the blueprint for the future—" Shi Zhijian wrote on the table with his finger dipped in tea : "This is Hong Kong, this is Japan, this is South Korea, this is Bangkok, this is Hollywood—"

"Trust me!" Shi Zhijian stared at Gao Chaohui with disdainful eyes and said, "In the future, world entertainment will rise from these places! Hong Kong movies, Japanese idols, Korean TV dramas, idols, and Thai ghost movies, they represent Asia. The first! And what we have to do is to bring these first hits to the field of Westerners, Hollywood!"

Of course, Gao Chaohui seemed to understand what Shi Zhijian said.

Only Shi Zhijian, who has experienced it, knows best what he means by these words.

…

First of all, the first glorious period of Asian entertainment was Dongying in the 1970s and 1980s!

What can reflect the prosperity of the Japanese era is the representative "Red and White Song Club" in China.

In 1951, the Broadcasting Association, which had no TV station at that time, used the radio to broadcast the first Hongbai Song Concert to celebrate the New Year in Dongying. In the post-war environment, this form of singing competition program was very popular among ordinary audiences. Immediately became the most popular program in Japan.

In 1963, the ratings of the Red and White Song Club reached a terrifying 81.4%. It was called a monster show, and it was also a trump card in hand.

Due to the extremely high ratings of the Red and White Song Club, a large number of singers aim to perform on the Red and White Song Club. Like Kimura Takuya, Nakajima Miyuki was able to establish her status as a king and queen in the Japanese music scene, not only because of extremely high record sales, but also as a professional endorsement brought by her multiple appearances in the Red and White Song Festival.

With the rapid development of Dongying music, Hong Kong began to "learn" the songs here, which made the Hong Kong music scene also began to prosper. Therefore, Dongying was honored as the "Holy Land of Asian Music" throughout the 1970s and 1980s, and even in the 1990s.

Of course, good times always come to an end. After the bubble economy burst, Japan's economy fell into a long-term recession, and the development of Japan's music scene became weaker and weaker.

If in the 1990s there were still a group of well-known singers such as Fukuyama Masaharu, Utada Hikaru, and Shiina Ringo, etc., who are familiar to ordinary people, then in the idol era after 2000, Dongying Entertainment has completely declined!

Compared with Dongying Entertainment, the development of Hong Kong entertainment is even more bittersweet.

The real rise of Hong Kong entertainment was in the 1980s, thanks to Hong Kong movies. Of course, Bruce Lee's comet flashed before and helped Hong Kong movies establish their position in the Asian circle.

Then "Two Mondays" and the appearance of the "Four Heavenly Kings" directly pushed Hong Kong entertainment to the top. Hong Kong movies such as "The True Colors of Heroes", "Play Back to School", and "Red Fan District" have even gone out of Hong Kong and affected various regions in Asia, so that Hong Kong began in the mid-1980s and has been honored as the "Hong Kong Movie" by the outside world until the late 1990s. "Hollywood of the East"!

It’s just that after 2000, Hong Kong movies began to enjoy dividends and were shoddy, and there were endless sequels. Although there were also works like "Young and Dangerous", "Dark War", and "Infernal Affairs", the overall environment has deteriorated greatly.

As for Korean film and music, it was in the late 1990s that the Korean Wave became an unstoppable force after 2000 through the efforts of the South Korean government and the strong promotion of film development in the form of legislation.

"New World" in Korean movies, "Squid Game" in TV dramas, "TVXQ", "BTS" and "Girls' Generation" in Korean idol groups are all well-known supergroups, with influence even Spread to Europe and America.

It can be said that the influence of Hallyu has formed an unstoppable trend, and Asian entertainment will also rely on Hallyu to support its appearance in the future.

As for the face-to-face in Thailand, the most talked about is the ghost movies in Thai movies.

As the saying goes: "Ghost movies have abused me thousands of times, and I treat ghost movies like first love." This shows how important ghost movies are in the film field.

At the end of the 20th century and the beginning of this century, a group of horror masterpieces of excellent quality and shocking the past and the present emerged in the Asian film industry:

Japanese-style movies headed by "Midnight Ring" and "The Grudge" pay attention to the atmosphere of the movie, and use ordinary things such as telephones, TV sets, video tapes, and attics to increase the intrigue of the story, allowing the audience to immerse themselves in horror movies for a long time in the shadows.

The Korean horror films represented by "Rose Flower and Red Lotus" and "Girl's High School Ghost Story" pay attention to the cause and effect of the story, karma, and beautiful pictures.

After that, the most worth mentioning is the rising star-Thai horror film.

Due to the excellent box office results of horror movies, the Thai government has relatively loose censorship on horror movies, which has directly led to the rapid development of Thai horror movies in terms of themes and content. Among them, "Ghost Shadow" and "Ghost Story" are the most famous.

Especially "Ghost Shadow", which is the horror coordinate of the Thai film industry, this film tells the story of school bullying, the girl turned into a ghost because of her boyfriend's death, and the film ends with the female ghost sitting on the male lead's neck Famous scenes, Thai horror films became famous internationally.

In fact, the reason why Thai horror films can flourish is inseparable from the customs and life taboos of the country itself. In addition, Thailand's lush plants and primitive wildness make Thai movies a little more fierce than other Asian movies.

…

"Shock Hollywood?" Gao Zhaohui was stunned for a moment, "Is this a bit whimsical? I know what Hollywood is. Don't forget, I have studied in the United States!"

Shi Zhijian smiled: "Thailand alone is not enough, but what if Hong Kong, Dongying, South Korea and Thailand are added together?"

"Uh~ www.readwn.com~ how to add?"

"Don't forget, I am the president of Shinhwa Group! And one of the three pillar industries of my Shinhwa Group is Shinhwa Entertainment!"

Shi Zhijian's words awakened the dreamer.

Gao Chaohui is very clear about what Myth Entertainment is. To be precise, it is the giant among Asian entertainment companies in this era, and it is also a behemoth with unlimited achievements in the future!

"Gao Shao, you already know that My Shinhwa Entertainment covers a wide range of fields, mainly including music companies, film companies, game companies, comic companies, etc. Among them, the Hong Kong entertainment company is headed by my wife Nie Yongqin, and the Japanese side is run by my confidante Yamada. Photon is in control, the British London side is managed by Earl Jester, and the Korean side is controlled by my confidant Zhao Zhenxiong, if you want—"

Shi Zhijian's gaze pierced deeply into Gao Chaohui's eyes: "Thailand, you are the leader of Shinhwa Entertainment! With my support, no one can compete with you! The most important thing is that when the time comes, you can compete with Hong Kong, Dongying, PK, the person in charge of the four places in South Korea and London, if you are capable enough, you can represent them all, represent Shinhwa Entertainment to enter Hollywood, and become the well-deserved King of Asia in Hollywood!"
