Chapter 498 Cruel Tao Yushu

Tao Yushu has strong understanding ability and faster execution ability.

Less than a week after the conversation with Lin Chaoyang, Wang Shiyu, the owner and editor-in-chief of "New Night News", was denounced by "Tiantian Daily" for withholding the royalties of its columnists.

"New Night News" is one of the most ruthless tabloids that spread rumors about Lin Chaoyang and Maggie Cheung.

In the Hong Kong newspaper industry, although many well-known writers started as columnists, columnists have always been at the bottom of the newspaper food chain.

The requirements for daily updates are high, the writing style is low, and the royalties are being squeezed-·

Over the years, more than one writer has said that the columnists of Hong Kong newspapers are worse than dancers in terms of their writing skills. A dancer can slap a dirty customer in the face, but at worst, she will find another dance club.

But the columnists in Xiangjiang don't even have the right to choose newspapers and fight for their own rights, so they can only accept the situation.

In the report of "Tian Tian Daily" denounced Wang Shiyu, it listed the unfair treatment suffered by Liu Yi, Yi Shu, Shi Sanmei and many other writers when they wrote columns for the newspaper.

The article was impassioned and impassioned, and the whole article was full of righteous and rational words, which immediately attracted the support of many readers.

In particular, the article's coverage of the "Thirteen Girls" resonated strongly with many newspaper readers.

In the Hong Kong literary world, there are many well-known female writers, such as Yi Shu, Li Bihua, and Lin Yanni.

But if we say that the first choice is recognized by everyone, it must be the Thirteenth Sister who was active in the 1950s and 1960s.

The wonder of Thirteenth Sister is that she has been writing columns for nearly 20 years, and her writing has reached the point where everyone knows her name. She has gained countless fans in the cultural circles of Hong Kong and Bay Island.

But until she died mysteriously alone in a rented house on October 9, 1970, readers didn't know her real name, no one had ever seen her, and they didn't even know what she looked like.

The article in "Tian Tian Daily" not only recorded in detail the several times that Thirteenth Sister was suppressed by "New Night News" for her contribution, but also mentioned the past events of Thirteenth Sister's death that year.

Before her death that year, Thirteenth Sister had been writing a column for "New Night News". In October 1970, Wang Shiyu waited for several days but did not receive a renewal from her, and could not be contacted, so he had to look around.

There was no news from Xiang for several days. Wang Shiyu thought that Thirteenth Sister might have passed away, so he conducted a targeted search of the unclaimed female body in the hospital in Xiangjiang at that time, and sure enough, Thirteenth Sister was found.

Afterwards, "New Night News" became the first newspaper in Hong Kong to announce the death of Thirteenth Sister, and also published the remains of Thirteenth Sister, allowing readers to finally get a glimpse of Thirteenth Sister's true face in Lushan.

According to what Wang Shiyu said at the time, he couldn't bear to have his friend's affairs left unattended, so he prepared a funeral committee for his funeral and announced it to the world.

Wang Shiyu's operation won him the recognition and respect of many colleagues in the literary world and readers at the time, and became a legend. It also greatly increased the sales of "New Night News" and benefited a lot.

"Tian Tian Daily" brought up old stories again, reconnecting the pressure of royalties, finding corpses, and publishing photos of dead bodies in the newspaper, and many readers suddenly became aware of it.

Wang Shiyu and Thirteenth Sister are not close friends. They are obviously evil tabloid bosses who will not let the columnist go even after his death, and want to spend a lot of money.

He even sucks the blood of dead people, he is like a beast!

The Thirteenth Sister has been famous in Hong Kong for twenty years, but she never showed her true face to others, and her true appearance was not revealed until her death.

For many loyal readers, her death is like the loss of Bai Yueguang when they were young, which is unforgettable.

After the "Tian Tian Daily" report was published, not only many readers were extremely angry and scolded Wang Shiyu and other despicable people who exploited writers, but many literati also joined in.

Cai Lam is one of the pioneers. He was a loyal fan of Thirteenth Sister when he was young.

Later generations also wrote two novels specifically for Thirteen Sisters, and often used every possible means to promote Thirteen Sisters in TV programs.

Cai Lam wrote two articles in Ming Pao to denounce Wang Shiyu's "human face and animal heart", which won applause from many readers.

Liu Yi also wrote an article recalling Thirteenth Sister in the new issue of "Hong Kong Literature". He was one of the few friends of Thirteenth Sister in the Hong Kong literary world.

The two met while writing a column and didn't meet much, but Thirteenth Sister loved talking to him on the phone.

Liu Yi's article was mainly about nostalgia, and his condemnation of Wang Shiyu was not fierce, but anyone could see the dissatisfaction in it.

In recent years, Liu Yi's reputation in the Hong Kong literary world has become increasingly prominent. Especially after he chaired "Hong Kong Literature", he became a leader of the literary world. His voice attracted the attention of the Hong Kong literary world.

In just one week, Wang Shiyu became infamous in the Hong Kong literary world, and everyone called him a beating among readers. Even the sales of "New Night News" were greatly affected.

The Xiangjiang newspaper industry entered a highly competitive environment in the 1970s. At its peak, there were more than 110 newspapers on the market, and the intensity of competition was fierce.

At the peak of newspaper closures, two or three newspapers announced their closure every month.

After entering the 1980s, major newspapers competed, and the living space of tabloids became even smaller.

Newspapers such as New Evening News, Tonight News, and Rattlesnake are just hanging on. They often put large sexy photos or even photos of naked women on their pages, as well as advertisements for erotic establishments. They do everything they can to attract attention.

pole.

Now that "New Night News" has been criticized by "Tian Tian Daily", not only the reputation of the boss has been ruined, but also the sales of the newspaper have been affected. For a while, there is a shaky feeling that it will close down tomorrow.

People in the newspaper industry probably know why "Tian Tian Daily" attacked "New Night News".

But no one expected that Tao Yushu's attack would be so fast and precise, hitting the "New Night News" almost all at once.

If "New Night News" cannot survive this time, it will have only one way to go bankrupt.

The reporting skills of "Tiantian Daily" are well-known and upright, and no one can find any problems. It has not lowered the style of the newspaper, but also dealt a blow to its opponents.

This kind of counterattack is really impressive, and it also deepens the "stereotype" of Tao Yushu among colleagues in the press.

Xiangjiang Dai Zhuoer.

Thinking of Huang Yulang, who was almost imprisoned by Tao Yushu, everyone began to spread the saying in private that it is better to offend villains than women (Tao Yushu).

Tao Yushu expressed satisfaction with the results achieved by Tiantian Daily.

This attack on "New Night News" was not only retaliation for the other party's slander and rumors against her, but also gave her better control over "Tian Tian Daily".

Kill two birds with one stone!

She originally planned to take advantage of the victory and then click on several other tabloids one by one.

As a result, before she could find out what the tabloid owners were doing, someone came forward to reconcile the matter.

The person who came forward was Dong Qiao, who was entrusted by Lei Weipo.

Not many people know the name Lei Weipo, but he is also known as the founder of Xiangjiang Gossip News.

In 1968, "Ming Pao" relied on Jin Yong's martial arts novels and editorials to establish a foothold in the Hong Kong newspaper industry.

But Jin Yong's ambitions didn't stop there.

He invited Lei Weipo to create "Ming Pao Weekly". Lei Weipo came from the entertainment world and knew all the secrets of the Hong Kong entertainment industry at his fingertips.

"Ming Pao Weekly" soon became popular among readers for its exclusive subject matter, explosive secrets, bad taste and literary talent soon after it was launched.

In the 1960s when street stall reading was popular, "Ming Pao Weekly" became Hong Kong's first real entertainment and gossip weekly, with annual advertising expenses alone reaching nearly 20 million Hong Kong dollars.

"New Night News" took a heavy blow from "Tiantian Daily", and I don't know if it can survive this wave of pressure.

Several tabloids that had previously been involved in spreading rumors about the scandal between Lin Chaoyang and Maggie Cheung finally understood that it was okay to offend Lin Chaoyang.

But their tigress is really untouchable.

These people were afraid of being noticed by Tao Yushu, so they quickly contacted their colleagues and friends, hoping that someone could help make peace with them and turn hostility into friendship.

Lei Weipo has some status in the Hong Kong gossip news community. He is also the right-hand man of Ming Pao boss Jin Yong. He has quite a relationship with many tabloid owners and editors. Most of Lin Chaoyang's works are published by Ming Pao Publishing House.

Several people found him, and he found Dong Qiao, who had a good personal relationship with Lin Chaoyang.

"What do you think?"

After learning that Dong Qiao had come to see Lin Chaoyang, apologized for the tabloid owners, and proposed the idea of ​​offering wine to make amends, Tao Yushu asked Lin Chaoyang.

"You have to be merciful and be merciful. You have just entered the newspaper industry, so it is not appropriate to make too many enemies.

Since they have already bowed their heads and served wine to apologize, I think we can just let it go."

Tao Yushu thought for a while and said, "I have to ask Maggie for her opinion. She is also a victim."

Lin Chaoyang took a look and couldn't understand why she was unwilling.

Lantau Island, the crew of "Carmen".

Not long after Maggie Cheung arrived on the set, she was putting on makeup while listening to Jiang Yuecheng telling her about the scenes to be filmed today.

"Carmen" is the most special of all the films Maggie Cheung has ever filmed. Flying paper on set is nothing. The scary thing is that the director often changes the scene.

The scenes that have already been filmed have to be scrapped and started all over again. While the funds are burning, the filming progress is also very slow.

It's been more than three months since filming started, and half of the scenes haven't been finished yet.

Maggie Cheung felt panicked when she thought about it. She had already finished filming two movies in this time.

"Sister Maggie, these shots are probably like this."

After finishing the play, Jiang Yuecheng handed the two pages of paper in his hand to Maggie Cheung and was about to leave when the sound of conversation suddenly came to his ears.

"Hey, did you watch "Rattlesnake" a few days ago?"

"What day was it? The day when there was a foreign girl?"

"No, let's talk about our heroine——..."

"Oh, hehe-"

Two male voices laughed in a way that all men understand.

The two field workers had just finished moving the props. Because of the awning and the props, they did not notice Jiang Yuecheng and Maggie Cheung here. The two sides were only separated by a wall composed of prop boxes.

Listening to the slightly obscene gossip from his two colleagues, Jiang Yuecheng immediately wanted to stand up and speak out, but Maggie Cheung grabbed him and stopped him with his eyes.

"—As for female celebrities, it's normal to hook up with rich people."
