Rebirth of Hong Kong - 1978

Chapter 2213 Interview becomes report

Originally, Lin Daoqiu thought that it was the same as last time, and that fellow Clydeberg would stop bothering them after learning that Lin Qingxia declined the request for an interview with Time magazine.

But what Lin Daoqiu didn't expect was that Kleidberg felt that he had discovered the secrets of Lin Daoqiu and Brigitte Lin, so this strengthened his determination to interview Brigitte Lin.

The next day, Kleidberg personally came to the MGM headquarters and asked to meet Richardson.

The other party was the editor-in-chief of "Time" magazine. Naturally, Richardson didn't dare to reject Kleidberger, so he asked someone to invite Kleidberger up, and then met him in his office.

"Mr. Berg, if I remember correctly, I should have made it clear to you on the phone before, whether it is an exclusive interview with Mr. Lin or Ms. Lin, I'm afraid I can't do anything about it."

Richardson thought that the purpose of Kleidberger's visit to him today was the interview with Lin Daoqiu and Brigitte Lin, but he was right. It's just that the method used by Kleidberger was different from what Richardson thought. completely different.

"I came here today to do what your Excellency thought. I wanted to ask about the interview with Mr. Lin and Ms. Lin, but it doesn't matter if I can't get it. I have a second thing I want to tell you about. "

Richardson nodded, wondering what else Clyderberg was going to do after he was clearly rejected by him.

"If Mr. Lin and Ms. Lin can't accept our exclusive interview, I can only say it's a pity, but we will change this exclusive interview into a report and publish it."

"In a reported way? I don't understand what Mr. Berger means by that statement?"

Clydeberg's words made Richardson a little puzzled, because he didn't understand what the other party meant. What does it mean to change an exclusive interview into a report?
"To put it simply, when we couldn't interview the subject, we compiled and published the information based on our own collection. This is actually a very common thing for ordinary newspapers and magazines."

It can be said that Kleidberg's remarks are indeed correct. This is indeed very common for other newspapers and magazines, because it is often difficult for them to invite interviews with big stars or important people.

So under normal circumstances, ordinary newspapers and magazines will report in the way Kleidberg said.

However, for "Time" Weekly, the reputation of their weekly magazine is too big, so it is basically impossible for their interviews to be rejected.

But such a thing happened to Lin Daoqiu and Lin Qingxia, so this unusual weekly magazine can only use the most ordinary way to report.

After hearing what Kleidberg said, Richardson immediately realized what the other party was going to do.

If this is the case, it is impossible for him to stop and dare not stop Kleidberg from doing so, because normal interviews and reports are permitted by law.

Lin Daoqiu and Brigitte Lin have the right not to be interviewed, but "Time" also has the right to report things, and these two things are not in conflict.

"Of course no problem. This is the right of your weekly magazine, and I have no right to ask."

Richardson shrugged. Naturally, it is impossible for him to say that Clydeberg is not allowed to report. After all, although he is the president of MGM, the influence of "Time" magazine is greater than that of MGM. I don't know how many times.

"Before I report, I would like to remind you that because it is the information we have collected, there may be some deviations in the authenticity of what I said. If any unpleasant things happen at that time, I will report to Mr. Lin first. Apologize to Miss Lin."

Clydeberg's statement is a bit unusual, as if he was already preparing to cause trouble. This time he came here specially to tell Lin Daoqiu that if he didn't come out to accept an exclusive interview with "Time" magazine, what would have gone wrong? That's not the problem of "Time" magazine, after all, Kleidberg has already apologized to Lin Daoqiu in advance.

For a moment, Richardson didn't know what to say, because what Kleidberg did was reasonable, and he couldn't fault him at all.

However, the reason why Richardson can't do anything about Clydeberg is not because of how clever the opponent's strategy is, or how powerful his methods are.

The reason why Richardson was helpless was because the influence of "Time" magazine was so great that they couldn't intervene or do things like Guan Shuo.

"Why do I feel like you are threatening us."

Richardson said this sentence as if he was joking, but as soon as he finished speaking, Clydeberg, who was opposite him, suddenly became unhappy.

Kleidberg frowned suddenly, with a displeased expression on his face.

"Could it be that your Excellency is saying that I came here today to intimidate you, so as to coerce Mr. Lin to accept our interview? Is that what you mean?"

"No, no, no... that's not what I meant, Mr. Berg, don't be offended, I take back what I just said."

Richardson was taken aback. If he wore the hat Kleidberg had prepared for him, things would probably go in another direction. This was not what he wanted to see.

Kleidberg didn't stay in Richardson's office long before he finished speaking and left.

Richardson sent the other party to the door all the way, and then watched Kleidberg leave.

After the other party left, Richardson immediately called Lin Daoqiu, because he felt that Lin Daoqiu must know about this matter immediately.

After receiving Richardson's call, Lin Daoqiu couldn't help showing a wry smile on his face.

He didn't expect that this guy named Clydeberg would be so persistent, trying to get an interview with himself and Brigitte Lin all the time.

Lin Daoqiu himself is not a person who likes to show his face to accept interviews, so even if Kleidberg tried his best, he would not agree to the other party.

"Let him report it. If it goes too far by then, I will consider asking my lawyer to send a lawyer's letter to Time Magazine."

Lin Daoqiu will not be used to each other, it is impossible for them to report whatever they want, if he finds out that Clydeberg has added something private to this report, or spread rumors for himself, then Lin Daoqiu will Choose to take up the weapon of law to protect your own rights and interests.

It's just that if this is the case, I'm afraid it will be against "Time" weekly magazine. If it is not necessary, Lin Daoqiu really does not want to stand against such an influential media, but now it seems that things are developing in a direction that Lin Daoqiu did not want to foresee The direction is going.
