Chapter 263 Lee Jung Hyun

From 1990 to 1991, Hong Kong's office rents fell after reaching their peak in due to a surge in supply, and of course the withdrawal of foreign capital was also a reason.

As a result, some real estate developers have lost interest in building office buildings, and have even converted some commercial and residential sites into residential buildings.

Of course, it certainly won’t be in the central commercial area.

The office rent in the commercial center is currently between HK$30 and HK$56 per square foot per month, ranking fourth among cities in the world.

Once the reform and opening up are implemented next year and foreign capital returns to Hong Kong, office rents will naturally rise and will increase very quickly.

Since the Huangpu Group owns a large number of office buildings, it can naturally make huge profits.

Of course, the model of the Whampoa Group (focusing on rental properties) is not suitable for any real estate group in Hong Kong.

Since Liu Zhicheng took over the Whampoa Group, it has taken advantage of the real estate boom many times and made a profit of nearly 10 billion Hong Kong dollars.

With such a huge fundraising capability, the net assets of Huangpu Group have now reached more than 900 billion Hong Kong dollars.

At a recent Huangpu Group meeting, he said: “Given the general environment, it is normal for the vacancy rate to be so high.

Anyway, we have passed the 'toughest' stage, and the slightly poor performance of rental properties does not affect the overall strength of the group."

The strategy to strengthen the development of rental properties was personally finalized by Liu Zhicheng.

Although no real estate developer in Hong Kong plays this crazy game - borrowing heavily to invest in rental properties.

Because theoretically it takes ten years to pay back the investment for a rental property, while it only takes three to four years for a development property.

However, Liu Zhicheng knows the future and understands the general trend. Even if other real estate developers want to learn from him, they have to consider their own strength.

Liu Zhicheng also arranged for the merger of Building AB of the Crocodile Garments Building and the Chenda Group Building to build the Crocodile Garments Group Building.

…………

YG Entertainment has been established for nearly two years. There are currently more than 30 trainees in training and more than 100 employees in YG Entertainment, which requires ATV to invest tens of millions of dollars every year.

If it weren't for ATV's copyright sales and IPO fundraising, it would really be too much to handle.

Now, it's time to check YG Entertainment's achievements. Lee Jung-hyun will release the biography "Let's go to My Star" at the end of June, with the title songs "Wow" and "Change".

Lee Jung-hyun is not completely without stage experience. In the past six months, she has performed on stage as a backup dancer for others and also played small guest roles in TV series. These are aimed at increasing her experience.

"Let's go to My Star" took half a year to prepare, including the title song "Wow" and the sister song "Change".

It can be said that this album is the best foundation for "Hong Kong Wave" and the most suitable music work to penetrate the whole of Asia because its sense of rhythm is so strong.

As for the T group, it is the most suitable idol group to penetrate the whole of Asia and consolidate the existence of the "Hong Kong Wave".

T group's first album "We Hate All Kinds Of Violence" has a very catchy title song "Descendants of Warriors", which is in the rap style.

Of course, both Lee Jung-hyun and T group put a lot of effort into dancing and costumes, and these factors cannot be ignored.

In short, Liu Zhicheng is also full of confidence!

In the past life, whether in the mainland or Hong Kong, the entertainment culture ended up following the Korean Wave.

Half of the variety shows in mainland China are imitations of others, and all the idol groups that have emerged have become traffic stars.

There was a group from Hong Kong that even the Four Heavenly Kings had to avoid (the group that was smashed).

So, Hallyu is not a Korean trend. As long as you do it before them, it is called 'Hong Kong Wave'.

From now on, "Korean Wave" will be a copy of "Hong Kong Wave", and it will be almost impossible to surpass "Hong Kong Wave".

…………

Friday, September 6st.

Since its launch, "Music Bank" has quickly surpassed TVB's "Jingge Jinqu".

After that, Hong Kong singers would strive to participate during the album or single promotion period, and even TVB singers went to "Music Bank" to promote.

Because it is so important to the album sales.

The authoritative comprehensive music considerations make this program one of the trendsetters of Hong Kong music. It is well-known in Hong Kong, Macau and Taiwan, and its awards are very important affirmation and support for singers.

The show is held once a week (Fridays) and the songs are all new songs by artists who have just released records.

Because it is a new song, everyone is willing to listen to it, so its popularity is naturally high. If someone releases a new song, he or she will appear on the show for a period of time, commonly known as "promoting the song."

The program's rating system is very interesting: album sales account for 60%, number of broadcasts account for 20%, audience favorability accounts for 10%, and judges account for 10%.

The broadcast times refer to the weekly broadcast times of ATV, TVB and Hong Kong Commercial Radio.

Audience favorability refers to market research - the program will survey 200 to 500 "Music Bank" audiences for their choices.

The judges refer to 20 to 50 musicians who will be surveyed by Music Bank.

Because of this 'serious rating system', it represents the authority of "Music Music". Singers try their best to be on it, and citizens also like to watch it.

Thus, it also affected the sales of the singer's album.

At present, "Music Bank" has a great influence in Hong Kong, Macau and Taiwan.

Liu Zhicheng and Li Zhi came to the studio of ATV program "Music Bank", planning to sit in the audience tonight to witness the birth of "Hong Kong Culture".

But before that, because he was the boss, he naturally had the right to go backstage.

Liu Zhicheng led Li Zhi backstage and asked Li Zhi, who was hanging on him, with a smile, "Which Hong Kong singer do you like?"

Li Zhi looked at Liu Zhicheng cautiously, then whispered, "Can I tell you? You won't cause me any trouble, will you?"

What this means is that her man is a jealous man who only allows her to be promiscuous and does not allow her women to have any contact with male friends. Their assistants and female bodyguards are this man's spies.

Assuming that their boyfriends were not Liu Zhicheng, this kind of behavior would definitely lead to conflicts and maybe even a breakup.

But Liu Zhicheng is different. He has always been used to being strong and has the capital to be strong.

Liu Zhicheng smiled and said, "How is that possible? I am that kind of person!"

Seeing that Li Zhi still didn't believe him, he continued, "Celebrities speak for themselves through their works. How can I interfere with your favorite celebrities? Tell me!"

Li Zhi believed it and immediately said, "Among the singers, of course I like Leon Lai!"

Next, Li Zhicai witnessed the "evil nature of human hearts".

Liu Zhicheng's face darkened deliberately, and then he said, "I'll settle the score with you when I get back!"

Li Zhi wanted to cry but had no tears. He thought that he really couldn't trust everything this man said. He didn't know how he would be taught a lesson when he got back!

"Brother Cheng, I was wrong!"

Liu Zhicheng didn't take this bait, but tried to scare Li Zhi on purpose, as a 'joke' between lovers.

Finding a staff member, Liu Zhicheng asked, "Who are the people performing tonight?"

When the staff saw Liu Zhicheng, they quickly said, "There are Leon Lai, Chow Hui-min, and Lee Jung-hyun."

Liu Zhicheng was stunned. Li Ming really was there. As for Zhou Huimin, he remembered that he hadn't had sex with her for almost a month. He wondered if he could still sleep with her.

There shouldn't be any problem. Zhou Huimin is easy to talk to, well-behaved and doesn't make any noise.

"Take us to Li Ming's dressing room!"

"Ok!"

In fact, because ATV’s headquarters was too small, there were only two dressing rooms, one for men and one for women, but Liu Zhicheng didn’t know that.

The staff brought Liu Zhicheng in and said, "Boss, this is the dressing room for male artists!" Then he pointed to the opposite side and said, "This is the dressing room for female artists!"

Liu Zhicheng nodded and said, "Okay, go ahead and get busy!"

Li Zhi clung tightly to Liu Zhicheng, as if worried that he was really angry.

Of course, she also knew that even if Liu Zhicheng was jealous, he would just slap her little butt at most, and then there might be no more gifts in the near future.

The previous punishments were acceptable, but the last one was so sad.

When I walked into the dressing room, some male singers were putting on makeup and some were chatting. When they saw Liu Zhicheng walk in with a beautiful girl, they all stood up immediately.

"boss"

"Mr. Liu"

Regardless of whether they are ATV artists or not, they definitely have a sense of fear and respect for Liu Zhicheng, not to mention that they are now on Liu Zhicheng's territory.

Liu Zhicheng nodded and said, "You guys are busy, I'll bring my girlfriend to take a look!" Only then did everyone return to their seats obediently!

Liu Zhicheng walked up to Li Ming and asked, "Who was the champion last week?"

Li Ming didn't dare to look at Li Zhi, but said seriously: "It's me!"

To be honest, the singers selected by "The Voice of China" are not yet good enough to compete with the "Four Heavenly Kings" and veteran singers.

At best, he would become a second-rate singer, or somewhere between first-rate and second-rate.

But no matter what, ATV's singers as a whole are on par with TVB, with two of them being from the Four Heavenly Kings.

Liu Zhicheng went on to say, "I heard that your 20-concert world tour was very successful and very popular overseas!"

Li Ming immediately said gratefully: "Thank you ATV for your training and support, otherwise I would not have achieved today's results!"

He spoke very sincerely. He was discovered by ATV, which also supported him in signing a contract with a record giant. More importantly, the one who proposed the term "Four Heavenly Kings" was ATV's president, Sally Chow.

He was just starting to gain popularity at that time, and was hailed as one of the "Four Heavenly Kings" in Hong Kong, so his overseas career has been very successful in the past two years.

Liu Zhicheng nodded and continued, "ATV has asked you to play in "Autumn in My Heart", you have to take it seriously.

If you act well, you will become the most popular idol star in Asia! Its influence will be no less than your status as a singer!"

Li Ming was shocked. In fact, none of the TV series he starred in on ATV had ever really become popular. He became famous as a singer.

Unexpectedly, this talent scout in the entertainment industry attaches so much importance to the newly prepared "Autumn in My Heart", which is said to be a representative work of the "Hong Kong Culture" proposed by him.

"Boss, rest assured, I will do my best in every job!"

In the hearts of these artists, Liu Zhicheng is a tycoon in the entertainment industry, no less than Uncle Shao Liu.

Liu Zhicheng can be seen everywhere in movies, TV dramas, shows, and music, and he is a talent scout among talent scouts in the entertainment industry.

Some people even think that Liu Zhicheng's influence in the entertainment industry has surpassed that of Uncle Six because of ATV's overseas copyright and influence.

Who would have thought that the most popular and profitable show in the United States, "Who Wants to Be a Millionaire", was purchased from ATV.

Who would have thought that "Justice Bao" and "Legend of White Snake", which are popular in the Chinese community, were proposed and invested by ATV.

Liu Zhicheng gestured to Li Zhi beside him to say hello to his idol. Li Zhi's face turned slightly red, but he didn't dare to speak.

What a joke, he was fooled once and he will be fooled again. Brother Cheng thinks he is too stupid.

"This is my girlfriend Li Zhi, she is your fan!" Liu Zhicheng introduced with a smile.

"Ms. Li, thank you for your support!" Li Ming greeted her politely without any doubt.

Now that the boss has introduced it, there is no way he wouldn't speak.

Li Zhi said elegantly this time: "Hello, your songs are great, I bought all your records!"

She only said that the song was nice and was obviously very cautious. After all, Li Ming was really handsome in this era.

After a few brief words, Liu Zhicheng said hello to the other singers and left.

In the women's dressing room, Liu Zhicheng felt Zhou Huimin's resentment and also felt Lee Jung-hyun's happiness.

Zhou Huimin’s resentment is understandable, and Liu Zhicheng plans to take some time to comfort her in the next two days.

"Perform with confidence and don't consider anything!" Liu Zhicheng patted Lee Jung-hyun on the shoulder and encouraged her.

The two of them are in a master-disciple relationship. From the perspective of Liu Zhicheng, a veteran in the love field, Lee Jung-hyun has a sense of dependence on him.

Li Zhenxian was immediately full of energy and said happily: "Yes!"

Several female singers looked a little strange. They were puzzled as soon as they entered the dressing room. Lee Jung-hyun was a new singer, but the assistants around her were veterans in the industry, and there was more than one.

This shows that ATV attaches great importance to Lee Jung Hyun.

Looking at Lee Jung-hyun's dress and makeup, they were indistinguishable from theirs. During this time, when someone tried to inquire about the news, they were politely stopped by the assistant.

This was definitely not the treatment for a new singer. Seeing Liu Zhicheng come personally to take care of them, they became more resolute in their thoughts.

Before leaving, Liu Zhicheng and Zhou Huimin made eye contact and gave her a signal. The woman blushed slightly and then turned away deliberately.

As they walked towards the studio, Lee Ji asked curiously, "That Lee Jung Hyun is the first debut of YG Entertainment and is also your masterpiece, right?"

Liu Zhicheng smiled and said: "It can be said that this is my hard work, of course, it can also be said that it is the hard work of YG Entertainment. We have invested more than 6000 million Hong Kong dollars, and now it is time to test the results!"

Li Zhi said incredulously: "More than 6000 million Hong Kong dollars, how can we recover the cost?"

Liu Zhicheng gave Li Zhi a light snap of his fingers and said lovingly, "This is a systematization of 'Hong Kong culture'. It's not just training her as a singer. There are already more than 30 trainees like her who have not debuted yet.

This does not include the fact that our dance teachers, music teachers, and management team are also being trained. Wait and see how capable your husband is. "

Li Zhi immediately nodded in admiration. She had a deep understanding of Liu Zhicheng's abilities and admired him for what he did.

"Music Bank" officially started recording.

Liu Zhicheng and Li Zhi sat in the center of the audience, which surprised the audience around them. They could actually meet the richest man Liu and his girlfriend.

Mr. Liu has good taste, his girlfriend is really beautiful, everyone exclaimed in admiration.

No one disturbed the two of them. Apart from the customs in Hong Kong, they also saw that others were surrounded by bodyguards.

When the show started, singers came on stage one after another. Some were from ATV, some were from TVB, some were from record companies, and some were even from their own studios. There were no restrictions on "Music Program".

However, if the score is low, there is a high possibility that you will not be able to participate in the second round of singing.

Lee Jung-hyun's debut was different from other singers. Her debut stage was "Music Bank". Although her records have been placed on the shelves of major stores, she has not started promoting them in advance.

Tomorrow, newspapers under the City Group will also promote the show, and ATV, Asia Satellite TV and Commercial Radio will also promote Lee Jung Hyun.

It can be said that even a hopeless person can be promoted with such huge exposure.

Today, Lee Jung-hyun was arranged to perform in the middle of "Music Bank", which is a treatment that newcomers do not have.

Host (male): Next up is a new singer Lee Jung Hyun, "Wow!"
Host (female): Why 'wow'? Is she surprising?
Host (male): Of course it’s surprising, because her song is called “Wow”!
Host (female): Then let’s say ‘wow’ together!

Liu Zhicheng on the stage was also looking forward to it!

On the stage, gorgeous lights slowly illuminate.

Then, the explosive music started!
Dynamic, brisk, rhythmic and explosive.

The audience under the stage suddenly felt that the atmosphere was different. The music was so addictive that they couldn't help but want to dance along with the music.

"Great tune!"

"I can't control my body!"

The audience expressed their feelings one after another.

On the stage, the first to perform were four faceless masked dancers. Their gestures were like the Thousand-Armed Buddha, and their bodies swayed from side to side with a strong sense of rhythm.

Although it only lasted a few seconds, this design is already "invincible" and is ahead of its time!

The audience was boiling!

Then, Lee Jung-hyun finally revealed her true face, holding a fan in her right hand and raising her left little finger to her mouth.

Lee Jung-hyun was the first to design a microphone on the little finger, which is innovation.

So when singing, the little finger must be placed on the side of the mouth. It is not necessary to place it when dancing.

She was dressed in Hanfu, with a long hairpin on her head and a folding fan in her hand, and her outfit was retro; but the music she played was modern electronic music.

The strong and sharp contrast can shock people's vision and hearing!
Lee Jung Hyun walked to the front desk with powerful steps, and put her finger to her lips: "I really hope this is not true."

The first sound you open is the 'divine sound'!
Crisp and pleasant to hear!
The audience is excited!
Great!
The performance that followed washed away the audience’s souls, and they couldn’t help but learn from the scenes!

Fan dance! A creative idea that amazes an era!

Whether you are a man or a woman, you can't help but imitate it!

The sound of “dong.dong.dong.dong” runs through almost the entire music. Every 'dong' makes people can't help but nod their heads, and their hearts are shaken once!
On the stage, Lee Jung-hyun's performance was perfect.

Under the stage, the audience had no time to praise or discuss; they were all shaking their heads and swaying their bodies from side to side like crazy.

Even Liu Zhicheng was so immersed in it that he forgot that he was the richest man. He only knew that he was a young man, and he followed the rhythm and swayed his body!
When the song ended, everyone was sweating.

Then there was warm applause!
