Rebirth of Hong Kong’s Glorious Era - Chapter 112
TVB attached great importance to tonight’s celebration banquet, and took over the entire Golden Peacock Restaurant. When Li Wansui entered, half of the crew arrived. Everyone had a happy smile on their faces. They took their seats in twos and threes. Although the food had not yet been served, they had already started drinking small wine with melon seeds and peanuts.
It can be seen that after 65 days of non-stop filming, everyone at the scene was relieved that the film was finally completed. Moreover, the ratings of “Legend of Chu Liuxiang” have been on the rise, steadily breaking 70%. The crew members are all proud and happy. After all, they have painted a strong stroke on their work resume, and they will also find a job in the future. Much easier.
Li Wansui was one of the focal points in Chu Liuxiang’s crew. As soon as he entered the hotel lobby, many people came forward to chat and joke with him, and it was finally over. Seeing that Zhou Runfa and the others were already seated, they were waving at him, and they walked up immediately. He pulled out the stool, and before he sat down, he was patted on the shoulder.
Looking back, it was the general manager of the production department, the number one advisor of TVB, Lin Cixiang.
Lin Cixiang first greeted everyone at the table, and then whispered to Li Wansui: “Ah Sui, come with me.” Obviously, there is something to ask Li Wansui.
Li Wansui said to the people who were already seated, “Excuse me,” and then followed up with Lin Cixiang and asked, “Brother Lin, what’s the matter? It’s hard to relax, you won’t give me a rest even if you rest. Let me shoot the next drama, I have booked a ticket to RB tomorrow.”
He saw Lin Cixiang’s serious face, thinking that he was looking for him to discuss the next job. He didn’t believe that Wireless would let him, the newly-rising popular niche, not be used.
Li Wansui really didn’t want to shoot the next TV series recently. He was terribly tired during this time, and he had been delayed for two months to inquire about the image controller, so he couldn’t wait any longer. So it’s better to strike first and block Lin Cixiang’s words behind.
Lin Cixiang kept walking, leading Li Wansui upstairs. As soon as he heard this, he already understood that Li Wansui didn’t want to start work recently, he shook his head with a smile, and said, “Ah Sui, where do you want to go, Uncle Six wants to see you, but if Uncle Six asks you to shoot the next movie, I will see it. Can you still be so eloquent!”
Li Wansui was stunned for a moment, all kinds of thoughts flashed through his mind quickly, he pointed to the ceiling with his finger, and asked in a low voice, “Uncle Six took over?”
Lin Cixiang nodded, his mouth was close to Li Wansui’s ear, and he muttered: “Although no clear news has come out, it is close to ten. Chairman Li’s health is getting worse and worse, and Uncle Six has recently begun to take over the power. already.”
Li Wansui knew, while the two of them were talking, they had already arrived at the tea room in the restaurant. Lin Cixiang knocked on the door, and a female voice came from inside, saying, “Please come in.”
Pushing the door and entering, Li Wansui saw a spirited old man in his 80s putting down the newspaper and looking at himself. It was Shao Yifu, an entertainment tycoon.
Li Wansui loves his country and nation, and he respects Shao Yifu from the bottom of his heart.
Not to mention the other party’s career achievements, just the kindness of this person’s life makes Li Wansui admire very much.
Later, he has seen a statistic. Since 1985, Run Run Run Run Shaw has cooperated with the Ministry of Education through the Shaw Foundation, and has donated huge sums of money to mainland education to build education and teaching facilities. 6013 items. Over the years, it has donated more than 10 billion Hong Kong dollars to the mainland for social welfare and charitable affairs.
This is a real act of kindness. Basically, primary and secondary schools in every city can see Shaw Building. If we count the students who have studied in Shaw Building over the years, there are probably tens of millions of them. Unlike some people’s usual tricks, get a charity fund and claim how much money you donate, but you don’t hear anyone thanking them, and the flow of donations is rarely disclosed.
Removing his thoughts, Li Wansui said respectfully, “Sixth Uncle, hello.” Then to the 50-year-old Shao Yifu’s concubine, Fang Yihua, who was standing aside, he said, “Aunt Fang, hello.”
In every Hong Kong entertainment novel that Li Wansui reads, Fang Yihua will appear as Shao Yifu’s concubine. Naturally, he has Baidu’s photos, wanting to see what she looks like who can captivate Shao Daheng, so he recognized her at a glance. .
This Miss Fang Yihua is not a simple character. She used to be a popular singer in Southeast Asia. In 1952, Fang Yihua appeared in Shaw’s life. One night, Run Run Shaw came to the nightclub upstairs of the Shaw Theatre to listen to songs. At that time, Fang was a famous female singer in Nanyang, and her mother was Fang Wenxia, a famous dancer in Shanghai 20 years ago. She sang the song “Beautiful Season of the Flower Moon”. After the song was over, Run Run Shaw invited Fang Yihua to have a late-night snack. After a long talk, Run Run Shaw was pleasantly surprised to find that Fang Yihua was not only beautiful and sang well, but also knew a lot about business management, so he strongly invited her to join Shaw Brothers. At that time, Fang Yihua’s singing career was in full swing, and many people advised her not to leave, but she still resigned from the music scene desperately. So, Run Run Shaw brought Fang Yihua to Hong Kong and registered it in the name of “Concubine’s Room”.
This Miss Fang is not only Shao Yifu’s concubine, but also an important helper in his career. To some extent, her words can represent Shao Yifu’s will.
Fang Yihua nodded with a smile, and said to Li Wansui and Lin Cixiang, “Ciguan, Ah Sui, sit down.”
Shao Yifu said at this time: “Ah Sui, I have always heard of you. You are a great contributor to our wireless defeat of Li this time, and I have long wanted to meet the new rising star within our wireless.”
When Li Wansui heard Shao Yifu open his mouth, he was surprised that Shao Daheng spoke Shanghai dialect, not Cantonese. When he was in college, there were teachers who were from Shanghai, but he could roughly understand them.
He smiled and said: “Sixth uncle Liao Zan, without the hard work of the crew, how could Chu Liuxiang achieve today’s results, I just got lucky to appear in the leading role, and gained such a great reputation, I really appreciate it. I’m ashamed.” Li Wansui was humble for a moment, and then continued: “Uncle Six, it’s rare to hear Shanghainese in Xiangjiang. When I was in school, two teachers graduated from Shanghai Jiaotong University. Very kind.”
Li Wansui said that he stopped speaking Cantonese in the second half, and changed it directly to Mandarin.
Shao Daheng was stunned when he heard Li Wansui’s Mandarin, and then smiled: “A Sui, I know you came from the mainland, how is it, is it a habit of Xiangjiang?”
Li Wansui smiled and said, “To be honest, everything else is fine, but the food is too bland. I now dream of eating Sichuan’s spicy hot pot.”
Seeing Li Wansui’s interesting words, everyone in the room let out a chuckle, and Shao Yifu said, “A Sui, you are from Sichuan, how is it over there, the news in the newspapers is true or false, are there any people who starved to death?”
Seeing that Shao Yifu was concerned about mainland affairs, Li Wansui also said seriously, “Uncle Six, I have been in Hong Kong for a while. The media’s reports on the mainland have been too smeared and distorted. Although the country is poor, no one starved to death.”
Except for a few newspapers in Xiangjiang, most of them smeared the mainland. When Li Wansui saw it sometimes, he felt depressed. How can they report the good aspects of the mainland, and there are also a lot of pro-Taiwan media, Taiwan is still obsessed with counterattacking the mainland, how can it actually report the mainland.
Shao Yifu nodded and sighed: “That’s good!”
The two chatted for a while, and Shao Yifu said: “A Sui, you are currently popular, and you are a popular student of our wireless network. As soon as you debuted, you made a popular TV series, but the rise time was too short, and the foundation was very weak. Steady, if you can exercise in peace for a while, I promise that next year, you will be on an equal footing with Zheng Shaoqiu.”
After finishing speaking, Shao Yifu motioned Fang Yihua to hand Li Wansui a contract, Shao Yifu continued: “But you haven’t signed the contract in the stage yet, and if you continue to be the starring role, it’s hard to convince the public, you can’t leave it in the stage. You don’t need those direct-line actors who have signed contracts, let you, an unsigned actor, be the protagonist.” The tone was flat, but the meaning of the words implied oppression.
Li Wansui took over the contract, and he sighed in his heart: “What should come will always come. I didn’t expect Shao Daheng to talk to me about this in person.”
He didn’t care about the contract at first. When he wanted to come, it was nothing more than a liquidated damages. The big deal was to use the money to redeem the contract. But after staying in the wireless station for a long time, he realized that after the contract was signed, the wireless station’s employment style was to die for. Using people in the studio, squeezing actors severely, for a star like him who has already become popular, it’s almost like shooting one after another.
Li Wansui has his own plan. He will go to various places to investigate. Just to get the development of the graphics controller~www.mtlnovel.com~ he needs to leave Hong Kong frequently, and now the Wharf acquisition war is showing signs of breaking out ahead of schedule. If the war really broke out in advance, then all of your plans will have to be advanced ahead of time. If you get the money, you can set up a film company with a few million dollars. And since you want to develop a red and white machine, you have to purchase and organize. Production, sales, there must be a lot of things, and there is no time to spend on TV dramas. But wireless is also a key part of his own plan to create a god, and he is still thinking of using the largest propaganda machine in Hong Kong.
So if you don’t sign a contract, you can’t sign a contract. When the contract is signed, the Wharf War broke out early, and you have money. Will you obey the wireless work arrangement? Even if you buy out the contract, how can you use the TVB propaganda machine to create a **** for yourself in the future? It will take 81 years for the stock market to enter a bear market. If the guess is true, the Wharf acquisition war will break out early, and you will get the money after a while.
He was in trouble in his heart, thinking about countermeasures in his mind, not only not to offend Wireless, but also to allow himself to hold the big tree of Wireless to absorb nourishment. With a bitter look on his face, he picked up the contract and flipped it over casually.
The other three noticed Li Wansui’s embarrassment and did not speak.
After watching for a long time, Li Wansui read the contract and put it on the table without speaking, thinking about how to deal with the situation in front of him.
Seeing that he didn’t speak for a long time, Lin Cixiang next to him kicked Li Wansui under the table, signaling him to agree quickly.
Li Wansui returned to his senses and said, “Uncle Six, the contract is very rich. I looked at it. The monthly salary is 2,000, and it is 500 for one episode of the TV series. The contract period is 5 years. As far as I know, this contract is already the highest in Taiwan It’s the same as Qiuguan’s contract.”
Shao Yifu asked, “What are you thinking about, Ah Sui?”
