Lu Xinyi can realize that Hong Kong has now become a place of right and wrong for Zhang Guorong to stay for a long time. This alone is enough to show her strong analytical skills.
If a normal person looks at this issue, Leslie Cheung is a first-line superstar after all. In terms of magnitude, there is no need to be afraid of some gossip news, and there is no need to stay away from Hong Kong to avoid the harassment of gossip news. Even Li Mu has not done so before. I have thought about it, but if I think about it deeply along with Lu Xinyi's suggestion, her suggestion seems very reasonable.
No matter how developed, dazzling and powerful Hong Kong is, it is essentially such a small area. I wish I could print 100,000 leaflets to cover the whole of Hong Kong. Therefore, once Zu Yaoting's newspapers and magazines are in full swing, Leslie Cheung will be in Hong Kong again. No matter how you hide, you can't avoid the interference, but it will be different if you go to the mainland. Zu Yaoting's consulting and investment capabilities, not to mention covering the whole country, he can't handle the Shenzhen market alone. How can he compare with himself?
Furthermore, the current mainland entertainment media are generally more ethical than the Hong Kong entertainment media. Some Hong Kong media have been persistent in blackmailing Zhang Guorong, but the mainland entertainment media are much friendly to him. After all, the mainland media has always been against Zhang Guorong. "Farewell My Concubine" is highly praised, so I love my family and my friends, so that Leslie Cheung has always been very well-known in China. As for his sexual orientation, Li Mu feels that it is not a problem at all in mainland China. The mainland media has never been very interested in sexual orientation and will not mention it. Not to mention that pretending not to see it is the most common way. This kind of thing itself is very personal. If there are no gossip paparazzi to dig deep, it itself should not be made public.
Even Li Mu was touched by Zhang Guorong's selfless support to Du Wei today. In order to reciprocate the favor, he had to find a way to temporarily let him leave Hong Kong, a place of right and wrong. Anyway, he is basically in a state of suspension now, and his time should be relatively free.
Having made up his mind, Li Mu was also a little more grateful to Lu Xinyi. This unknown Hong Kong media person should also be one of Zhang Guorong's supporters, and he was also a mainlander, which gave Li Mu a new impression.
Precisely because of his good first impression of Lu Xinyi, Li Mu chatted with her for a few more words and roughly asked about her personal situation.
Lu Xinyi is 28 years old. She is a native of Shanghai. She has been studying in Shanghai from elementary school to high school. At the age of 19, she was admitted to the journalism major of the Chinese University of Hong Kong. After graduation, she worked in Hong Kong. She first worked as a director assistant at a TV station for one year. Five years ago, I jumped into the entertainment media world.
The "Weekly Newspaper" where Lu Xinyi currently works is one of the most famous print media in Hong Kong, and the most popular section of "Weekly Newspaper" is the entertainment section, so her role as deputy editor of the entertainment section is still very valuable.
Li Mu also asked her why she knew her situation so well. Lu Xinyi smiled and said: "People who do news, especially people who do entertainment news, have a strong ability to dig out clues, so check the industries you are currently involved in." It’s not that difficult.”
Li Mu nodded and asked, "What do you think of your future at the Weekly?"
Lu Xinyi touched her head and said with a smile: "We have reached the ceiling. The positions above are all board members. If the company does not change to a professional manager system, I will only be able to get a salary increase in the future, but there will be no appreciation. "
Li Mu asked her with a smile: "Have you ever thought about becoming an online media?"
"Internet media?" Lu Xinyi frowned and looked at Li Mu and asked him, "What does Mr. Li mean?"
Li Mu said with a smile: "I think every industry around the world is undergoing Internetization, and the media will be the same in the future. Traditional paper media and TV media will definitely be greatly impacted by the Internet. TV media is restricted by terminal viewing, and paper media is restricted by distribution channels. Constraints, Hong Kong is too small, these constraints may not be visible, but in mainland China, such constraints are too obvious. Except for CCTV, there are only a few satellite TVs that can get high ratings across the country and can be sold nationwide. There are even fewer newspapers, and magazines are at least weekly, and their timeliness is very poor, so the focus of media in the future should be the Internet."
Lu Xinyi pursed her lips and thought for a long time, then asked Li Mu: "How many Internet users are there in mainland China now?"
Li Mu said: "With less than 100 million now, YY can now push any inquiries to more than 95% of mainland Internet users."
Lu Xinyi was so shocked that she couldn't open her mouth from ear to ear: "YY has such a high share among netizens?"
Li Mu nodded, smiled slightly, and said confidently: "Let me tell you this, in mainland China, most netizens do not have their own computers, but they at least have a YY number of their own."
Lu Xinyi sighed: "I agree with this. The penetration rate of private computers in mainland China is not high. In fact, even in Hong Kong, the penetration rate of private computers has not reached 30% of the total number of netizens."
Li Mu smiled and said: "The Internet is developing very fast. In the future, not only will the speed of the Internet be greatly improved and information will be more diversified, but the price of hardware will also continue to fall. The share and absolute number of private computers will definitely continue to rise. Just imagine Look, in the future, there may be hundreds of millions of people in mainland China watching news through the Internet every day, and at least 20% of them will read entertainment gossip to some extent. This channel is probably unmatched by any traditional media. As media people, besides news sources, isn’t what you care most about is distribution channels?”
Lu Xinyi was dumbfounded when she heard that the local population of Hong Kong was only over 6 million at the moment. Counting the migrant population, there were more than 10 million. This number is indeed a lot for a city, but as a market, it is far from enough. .
At present, the decline of Hong Kong's entertainment industry has been revealed. Hong Kong movies have been in recession for several consecutive years, and Hong Kong's music industry has also been impacted by digital music and the Internet. Non-local music is becoming more and more abundant, more convenient, and more accessible. Many young people no longer buy records, and the music industry has been deeply affected.
The changes of the times have made the Hong Kong entertainment industry feel a little embarrassed right now. It seems that the public no longer pays as much attention to the entertainment industry as before. Even the media people who do entertainment news feel that the market is getting smaller and smaller and the future is worrying.
And Li Mu suddenly described a huge market with tens of millions or even hundreds of millions of viewers, which made Lu Xinyi couldn't help but yearn for it. However, she didn't know much about the Internet and didn't know what opportunities she had to make the transition to the social development direction of the Internet. .
At this time, Li Mu suddenly issued an invitation and said: "Miss Lu, if you have stayed in Hong Kong enough, you can consider Yanjing. In fact, in the long run, the scenery on the mainland is better. Makino Technology is now preparing to make a project based on YY The world's largest Chinese portal website, entertainment is a very important secondary category. If you are interested, I can make a decision now and give you the position of editor-in-chief of the entertainment section, and be fully responsible for the structure of the entire entertainment section."
Although Lu Xinyi knew about Makino Technology and YY, she did not know that YY was going to build a portal. This was internal information that YY had not announced to the public.
Just now I was thinking about whether there was any good way to break into the Internet field in my situation, but I didn't expect that a huge opportunity hit me directly.
Lu Xinyi calmed down, looked at Li Mu intently and asked, "Mr. Li, are you telling the truth?"
Li Mu nodded seriously and said solemnly: "The portal project has already started operation and will be ready to go online in the near future. If you are really interested, you can come to Yanjing to work at any time after tomorrow."
After saying that, Li Mu reminded: "But the time left for you to think about it may not be too long, about half a month."
Lu Xinyi said immediately: "No need to think about it, I am willing to join!"
Li Mu looked at her in surprise: "Decided so quickly? Let's discuss the salary requirements first, right?"
Lu Xinyi said with a firm expression: "No need to talk, I am looking forward to joining Makino Technology."
Li Mu raised his eyebrows, smiled, stretched out his hand, and said, "Welcome to join."
Lu Xinyi and Li Mu shook hands. She didn't know why she suddenly made such a major decision. But thinking about it carefully, it might be that she was already pursuing a breakthrough point in her career, and Makino Technology was obviously A better opportunity.
At this time, a staff member walked up to Li Mu and said in his ear: "Mr. Li, the party is almost over. President Xiao has booked a small dinner at the hotel. Apart from you and Miss Du, President Xiao I have also invited my brother and several other celebrities who are here today. If you are willing to pay a visit, please come directly with her later."
Li Mu didn't hesitate, nodded slightly and said, "Then I'll go down and wait for her first."
The staff member nodded, thanked him and turned around to leave. Li Mu then said to Lu Xinyi: "Ms. Lu, please remember my mobile phone number and contact me before you go to Yanjing. I will arrange for you to join the company."
Lu Xinyi nodded hurriedly and said, "I may need a few days to deal with the affairs in Hong Kong. I will try to get to Yanjing within the next week."
Li Mu smiled and said: "OK, you can control the specific time yourself, but don't be too late."
"OK."
The two exchanged mobile phone numbers, and Li Mu hurried downstairs. When he returned to his seat, Zhang Guorong took the initiative and said to him: "I heard Xiaowei said that you are going back to the mainland tomorrow?"
Li Mu nodded: "There are many things to do, so I have to go back early."
Leslie Cheung then said: "I want to take Xiaowei to meet Lin Xi and some of the more famous producers in the Hong Kong music scene."
Li Mu smiled and said: "This is a good thing, but I may not be able to stay in Hong Kong to accompany her..."
Mo Wenwei smiled and said: "I just told my brother that Xiaowei can stay with me if she stays in Hong Kong for a few days."
Li Mu was particularly curious and wanted to ask if Mo Wenwei and Feng Delun were already living together, but he thought that since they took the initiative to take Du Wei in, they probably hadn't lived together yet.
So, Li Mu asked Du Wei: "Xiaowei, what do you mean?"
Du Wei looked at Li Mu with watery eyes and said shyly: "Brother Li Mu, I can take care of myself."
Li Mu nodded immediately: "Okay, I'll call your sister tonight."
