    Lin Xiaozhi woke up early on the third day and received good news as soon as he got up. Zhou Taiyan finally gave a positive reply from CCTV. CCTV believed that it also needed to bear the 30 million investment in "Water Margin". There was no problem, and the co-production plan was official.  Launched, the two parties agreed that the TV series will tentatively shoot 70 episodes.  However, CCTV did not immediately agree to the conditions offered by ATV to participate in "Romance of the Three Kingdoms".  As the most important publicity unit in the country, CCTV has a lot of concerns about whether to allow Hong Kong companies to participate in equity, even if it is just a subsidiary. Even if Lin Xiaozhi implicitly offered to invest more than 100 million, and regardless of how CCTV uses the money,  Zhou Taiyan only had one reply, 'We need to hold a meeting to discuss it and wait for instructions from our superiors before making a reply.'  As for whether it can succeed in the end, Lin Xiaozhi really has no idea.  Given CCTV¡¯s special status, no one knows whether mainland China will relent on this issue.  After only less than three days of rest in Hong Kong, Lin Xiaozhi became busy again.  The ancient Egyptian temple in Shenzhen Cinema has been set up. Although the pungent smell left by the decoration has not dissipated, it is not suitable for immediate use. However, in order to rush to the scene as soon as possible to complete the foreplay, the crew still endured the difficulty.  Smell went into battle, and it took just over a week to finish filming several scenes at the ferry terminal and in the temple with extremely high efficiency.  After finishing the filming of these scenes, Lin Xiaozhi and the crew were not in a hurry to leave Hong Kong and go to Egypt to continue filming the subsequent scenes, because at this time, the 12th Annual Film Festival, which had been hyped by the media in Hong Kong and Macao for several months,  The Hong Kong Film Awards ceremony is finally about to begin!  March 8th is the annual International Women¡¯s Day. It is no exaggeration to say that this day is a day of shame for many avant-garde and freedom-loving feminist activists in Hong Kong, because even though they have fought for many years, Hong Kong has not  Since the opening of the port, even the British Hong Kong government, which claims to be "democratic", has never designated it as a legal holiday in Hong Kong.  If it were this day in previous years, we might see some Hong Kong women's rights activists criticizing the government in the media. However, today it is clear that no matter how dissatisfied they are, no one in Hong Kong will notice it, because they have been waiting for so long.  The 12th Academy Awards Ceremony will be held at the Hong Kong Cultural Center in the afternoon of this day.  In the master bedroom of the original super villa "Genesis" at No. 23 Shi Xun Road, Taipingshan, which has been renamed "Crystal Pavilion", Lin Xiaozhi stood in front of a huge floor-to-ceiling mirror with great interest, letting his two pairs of delicate hands  He lowered and raised his body, and said with a smile: "Since it is the Academy Awards ceremony, and there are countless handsome celebrities attending, I said that there is no need for me to dress up so elaborately. Anyway, I can't compare to Fa Ge and Hua Hua."  Damn them. If you two dress me up so carefully, you won't be afraid that I will be in the limelight at the Academy Awards!" So, the old saying that a man depends on his clothes and a horse depends on his saddle is very true.  Lin Xiaozhi's appearance is not actually handsome, at most he is just a middle-aged man.  But at this moment, he put on a specially tailored dark blue suit paired with a light-colored shirt, which matched his body that was relatively strong despite occasional exercise, which showed his masculine charm.  Li Jiaxin was helping him caress his suit to see if there were any wrinkles, while Zhou Huimin was carefully checking his hairstyle and light makeup on his face. When the two women heard this, the former twisted his waist slightly in annoyance, while the latter frowned at him.  At one glance, "You are so beautiful!" Not only Lin Xiaozhi, but both of them were already wearing makeup and clothes.  I saw Li Jiaxin wearing a black off-shoulder long dress and evening gown, with slightly curly hair flowing shawl. Although she is obsessed with collecting diamond jewelry, she did not wear earrings because her husband didn't like it, but regardless of the valuable diamonds around her neck  The pink diamond necklace or the flower-shaped jewelry with blue diamonds inlaid on the chest all fully demonstrate the wealth and favor after marriage of the most beautiful Hong Kong sister in the past.  Zhou Huimin was different from her. Because she was pregnant with her second child, her lower abdomen was slightly swollen, so she wore an egg-yellow loose dress and some clean makeup.  Compared to Li Jiaxin, who loves gems, she doesn't carry too many small items with her. Only a pair of silver bracelets she has worn since birth were replaced by a platinum bell bracelet given by Lin Xiaozhi last year, and a pair of silver bracelets on her left ring finger.  A wedding ring set with a rare seven-carat yellow diamond can be regarded as a small compensation for her regret of not being able to receive a grand blessing.  There was a big fuss at the Academy Awards ceremony last year. Although she was invited this year, Lin Xiaozhi still declined the red carpet arrangement arranged for him by the Academy Awards. He could bring his family members to the event in advance.  The live broadcast is still on her own TV station, so Lin Xiaozhi is going to take her two women to attend the 12th Academy Awards ceremony tonight.  Originally, Zhou Huimin¡¯s physical condition, now pregnant with her second child, was not suitable for attending that kind of occasion.  But out of guilt, plusShe also wanted to go and have a look, so Lin Xiaozhi took her with her.  He actually thought about it. Instead of letting his woman bear the reputation of being a mistress, it would be better for him, who already had a bad reputation like a 'rich playboy', to sit back and watch as a 'philanderer' and 'passionate'.  Anyway, he is thick-skinned and his own strength is getting stronger. After last year's media war, it is certain that there are not many local media who dare to tease him anymore, and he is not afraid of a little infamy.  Zhou Huimin checked very carefully, and soon noticed that the light makeup on his face might be too light because he had rubbed it with his hands before. She pressed his face firmly, took the foundation and said, "Don't  "Move, there are some spots, put on some make-up." "It's natural to see people wearing makeup in the entertainment industry, including women and men, but Lin Xiaozhi is still not used to it, and raised his eyebrows lightly: "Why don't I see where the spots are? Don't put on makeup.  It¡¯s too thick. I¡¯ve always felt that men¡¯s makeup is a bit weird.¡± ¡°You have the wrong idea.¡± It took a while before Zhou Huimin finished her makeup. She looked at her work with satisfaction. She would definitely not compare with her husband when he walked on the red carpet.  Those male stars are bad.  She smiled and said: "You might go up to win the award later. Today's live broadcast is not only for Hong Kong, Macao and Taiwan, but also South Korea, Japan and Southeast Asia. You can't do it if you don't dress up seriously." The live broadcast of the Academy Awards  The rights have been taken away by ATV under the name of Lin Xiaozhi, but it does not mean that others can no longer contact and cooperate.  For example, TVB sent a camera crew to follow the entire awards ceremony, but they could not broadcast it live and could only broadcast it as clips later in the news event.  TVB failed to compete with ATV and continued to monopolize the live broadcast privileges of the Academy Awards.  However, compared to it, there is another TV station in Hong Kong that is also very interested in hosting the 12th Academy Awards this year. It is the Asia Satellite Television Broadcasting Company that is currently owned by Xiaochao Li Zekai.  In fact, Satellite Broadcasting Co., Ltd. was officially established as early as March 23, 1991. Li Chaoren thought it was time to test the strength of his younger son, so he appointed Li Zekai and Ma Shimin as executive vice chairman and himself as chairman.  However, although he believed in his son's ability as a mature man, just in case, he specially hired Chen Qingxiang, who had been the general manager of Hong Kong TV for many years, to be the chief executive of Satellite TV to assist Li Zekai.  With the support of the Li family's strong financial resources and family connections, satellite TV was officially launched in May of that year ahead of Wharf TV, another TV station that had obtained a pay TV license in the same batch, covering not only mainland China and Taiwan Province, but also as far as the Middle East.  and other places, it can barely be regarded as Asia¡¯s first satellite TV station with the widest coverage.  Due to the blockade of ATV and TVB, two local free-to-air TV groups, satellite TV stations have to adopt eccentric operating methods similar to many TV stations in North America. The main target is news programs, while most other programs are purchased from overseas TV companies, or even imitated.  ATV bought the English broadcast rights of many popular foreign TV series and variety shows at very low prices (satellite TV was initially suppressed by Wharf TV and the Hong Kong government did not allow it to produce and broadcast Cantonese programs).  Because of the publicity in the early months, it has already exerted considerable influence in Hong Kong, Macao, Taiwan, mainland China, and even Southeast Asia, Japan and South Korea. In order to obtain more advertising business from all over Asia, satellite TV stations have sent out  Team PR Association, trying to obtain its live broadcast privileges.  After being blocked by ATV, Li Zekai simply went out to entertain Lin Xiaozhi in person. Finally, after he offered a broadcast fee of 3 million Hong Kong dollars for the broadcast rights of the 12th Hong Kong Film Awards and retained the ATV logo, Lin Xiaozhi relaxed.  Lokou agreed to sell the live broadcasts from other places to satellite TV stations.  It was also thanks to the fact that Li Zekai was not a speculator who could calm down to start an industry that Lin Xiaozhi relaxed and made this decision.  Through some channels, he already knew that this little superman had just made some achievements in satellite TV and wanted to find a buyer to sell it.  To be honest, Lin Xiaozhi is very happy to hear that the Li family, or more accurately, Li Zekai, is obsessed with selling satellite TV.  Ng Guangzheng, the son-in-law of the shipping king Pao Yukang, is also worth hundreds of billions and is among the top ten richest people in Hong Kong. However, he had worked hard to obtain the operating license of Wharf TV and tried his best to publicize the Hong Kong government to stop Li.  Home also enters.  But what is the effect?  As soon as Li Chaoren took action, he persuaded two consortiums with strong backgrounds, British and Chinese, to put pressure on the British Hong Kong government. Although they failed to obtain a cable TV license, they obtained a satellite TV license.  Last year, Li Chaoren personally hosted a banquet for the new Hong Kong Governor Patten. A few days later, the Hong Kong government's attitude, which had been determined not to allow satellite TV to produce Cantonese programs, immediately made a 180-degree turn. Songkou Satellite TV can also produce Cantonese programs.  And not long after February this year, it was announced again that it would not be able to operate pay TV programs.Satellite TV stations can also operate paid channels simply by cooperating with other TV stations.  TVB ignored the Li family and refused to allow satellite TV to grow.  Lin Xiaozhi also strictly ordered ATV to block satellite TV and never cooperate with satellite TV.  But it was still Li Chaoren's skill. He first announced that it was strictly prohibited to install Wharf TV's cable TV in large housing estates and buildings built and managed by Hutchison Whampoa and Cheung Kong. At the same time, Li Chaoren did not know what price he spent to convince fellow Hong Kong residents.  Zheng Yutong, the real estate magnate's New World boss, asked him to agree that his properties would only be equipped with satellite TV dish antennas and indoor systems, which stunned Wu Guangzheng, who was also one of the top ten richest men in Hong Kong, and had to give in.  After receiving two bans from TVB and ATV, Satellite TV finally reached a cooperation with its mortal enemy Wharf TV, which shows Li Chaoren's business ability and the terrifying strength of the Li family.  The Li family is too powerful. The wealth, connections and influence of the half-century of management during the Li superman era have given the satellite TV station the potential to surpass TVB and ATV.  Thanks to Superboy being more of a speculator than his father, even though he clearly saw that satellite TV had great potential in the future, he only wanted to sell at high prices, make a huge profit, and then go to other industries to make money.  Otherwise, given the strength and influence of the Li family, Lin Xiaozhi is even worried that ATV will face full competition from satellite TV stations within three years.  As for the media giant Rupert Murdoch who may swallow up satellite TV stations in the future, Lin Xiaozhi really doesn¡¯t take him seriously.  This old man is used to being domineering abroad, so how can he understand the complexity of the issues between Hong Kong, Taiwan and the mainland? There is no fairness here, only camps. If you are close to Taiwan Province, you will be blocked by the mainland, and if you are close to the mainland, the Taiwan authorities will not  Because News Corporation does not block satellite TV.  If the old guy really continues to think that he can have both sides as he did in his previous life, he will be banned sooner or later.  Once it is blocked, satellite TV will basically be useless.
