Rebirth of Xiangjiang - 1978

Li Zhiying’s wife Li Yinqin also agreed with Li Zhiying’s idea.

Because Xu Guanwen has been Hong Kong people's favorite comedy star since the mid-to-late 1970s.

Although Xu Guanwen's movie box office performance in recent years has not been as brilliant as before, everyone still likes and loves him very much.

Therefore, Li Zhiying plans to let Xu Guanwen publish the first issue of the first issue. Li Yinqin still supports his idea on this point.

"Have you made an appointment with Mr. Xu?"

Li Yinqin looked at Xu Guanwen and asked.

Xu Guanwen shook his head. He hadn't had time to ask Xu Guanwen to talk about this matter, but he believed that Xu Guanwen would not refuse to pay 100,000 yuan for an exclusive interview.

After all, an exclusive interview doesn't take long, and you can earn 100,000 yuan in less than a few hours. If you can earn this kind of money with such an easy job, I guess the other party won't refuse, right?

"I just asked my secretary to call and make an appointment with Mr. Xu. I believe this matter will be finalized soon."

While Li Zhiying was chatting about this matter, there was a sudden knock on the door outside.

After Li Zhiying responded, he saw his secretary walking in from outside. What made Li Zhiying feel strange was that he found that there seemed to be something wrong with the expression on the secretary's face.

"Boss, Mr. Xu refuses to accept our exclusive interview."

"Ah? Why?"

Li Zhiying didn't understand why Xu Guanwen refused to accept their interview. Is it because he was not satisfied with the price of 100,000 yuan?

If it's a matter of money, that's easy to say. It doesn't matter if Li Zhiying is willing to add more.

The secretary quickly shook his head and said.

"No, it has nothing to do with money. Mr. Xu said that not only would he not accept our exclusive interview, but he would also not accept any interviews from Digital Weekly in the future."

Li Zhiying never thought that such a situation would happen. He didn't really care whether Xu Guanwen accepted the exclusive interview with "Digital Weekly", but the problem was that Xu Guanwen's attitude made Li Zhiying feel very strange.

It stands to reason that they have never been in contact before, and there should be no problems between him and Xu Guanwen, but why did the other party refuse this interview, and also said that he would not accept an exclusive interview with "Digital Weekly" in the future?

"Is there anything unpleasant between you and Mr. Xu?"

Even Li Yinqin wondered whether Li Zhiying and Xu Guanwen had a previous conflict, so the other party chose to do this.

"No, although I have met him before, it can be said that we are not familiar with each other at all, let alone have any issues with each other."

Li Zhiying really couldn't figure out how he provoked Xu Guanwen to make him refuse so completely. This really puzzled him.

"I think we must first find out why Mr. Xu rejected us."

For "Digital Weekly", reporting on the entertainment industry is a very important part, especially celebrities, which are a top priority for them. If they always cover political and economic news, only a small number of people will be interested.

We're just people, and most people like news and gossip about celebrities.

So something like this suddenly happened, which made Li Yinqin feel that it was really strange, and they had to find out what was going on as soon as possible.

"I'll call Mr. Xu right now and ask him why."

Li Zhiying wanted to communicate directly with Xu Guanwen. Only in this way could he understand the other party's thoughts as quickly as possible.

So he picked up the phone on the table and called Xu Guanwen.

When the call was connected, a young man's voice came from the other side.

"Hello, who is this?"

"Hello, I am Li Jiying, the owner of "Digital Weekly"."

"Oh... Mr. Xu is not convenient to answer the phone, and please don't call us again in the future. We will not accept interviews from Digital Weekly, and Digital Weekly will not be allowed to publish news about us."

Xu Guanwen's assistant told Li Zhiying directly and then hung up the phone.

Listening to Dududu's voice on the phone, Li Zhiying suddenly fell into deep thought.

"How's it going? What did Mr. Xu say?"

Li Yinqin found that Li Zhiying had been holding the phone still, and she didn't know what happened to him or whether he had reached an agreement with Xu Guanwen.

Hearing his wife's voice, Li Zhiying shook his head first, and then he put the phone down.

"Xu Guanwen's attitude is very firm. He is unwilling to accept our interview and does not allow us to publish news about him."

"Ah? This...what is going on?"

Li Zhiying really couldn't figure out what happened.

But what surprised them was yet to come. After Xu Guanwen, the other celebrities they contacted immediately rejected the interview request from "Digital Weekly" without giving them any room for negotiation.

After this round, dozens of celebrities were interviewed, and without exception, all refused to be interviewed by "Digital Weekly". This made Li Zhiying and Li Yinqin immediately realize the seriousness of the problem.

"I guess it was Lin Daoqiu who gave them the order not to accept our interview."

Li Zhiying couldn't help but swallowed when he said this. He didn't expect Lin Daoqiu to start making moves so quickly. Wasn't this guy too vigilant?

"Lin Daoqiu? How could he attack us so quickly? Does he already know about you and Chief Peng?"

Li Yinqin looked at Li Zhiying in surprise. If this was the case, then someone might have leaked the news to Lin Daoqiu, so he started to guard against Li Zhiying so quickly.

"I guess this is possible. After all, Lin Daoqiu's power in Xiangjiang is so great that any disturbance is likely to fall on his ears immediately."

Originally, Li Zhiying planned to slowly increase the strength of "Digital Weekly" first, and then after the magazine's reputation in Hong Kong grew, he could take action against Lin Daoqiu.

But he didn't expect that "Digital Weekly" would be directly targeted by Lin Daoqiu in this way before it even had a chance to get started. This was undoubtedly a bolt from the blue for him.

"If we are unable to get interviews from celebrities in the future and are restricted from reporting on their news, then no one will buy the Digital Weekly we publish."

Li Zhiying smiled and said.

"You are a little too nervous. It is their business not to accept our interview, but the report we want to publish about them is permitted by law. They have no right to stop it. This is our freedom of the press."

With Fei Peng's support, Li Zhiying still didn't believe that Lin Daoqiu could cover the sky with one hand so that they couldn't publish the news.

It's just that not allowing celebrities from the Hong Kong film and television industry to accept their interviews, this is the most difficult thing for Li Zhiying, and he can't think of any solution for the moment.
