Chapter 207. Recruiting talents
With the posting of a recruitment advertisement for the Best Actor Entertainment, it seems that he has cast a "hero post" in the world, and countless aspiring people flocked to it. Among them, there are some people who are depressed in the film industry, some who want to develop new careers. Of course, there are real performance talents, future phenomenal directors, and some who want to take advantage of the situation. However, for Best Actor Entertainment, no matter whether you have the ability or not, the door of Best Actor Entertainment is open to you, and if you have the ability, you can come!
September 21, 1984
In front of a street stall in Temple Street, Tony Leung, who won the award of actor's award for "Directions from the Curtains", has not received any drama for almost five months. It is said that Taiwanese film merchants issued a ban order to ban him. Most of the Hong Kong movies were invested by Taiwanese businessmen, so no one dared to use him. But it doesn't matter. In Tony Leung's opinion, he can't starve to death, so he relies on making some handmade jewelry, necklaces, jewelry and other things on weekdays, and selling them at night market stalls to supplement the household use.
At the beginning, Tony Leung was a little embarrassed. The dignified actress set up a street stall and would be laughed at to death when she said it, but he insisted on it. He told himself that he was also acting, experiencing life and acting as a street vendor.
So he calmed down, one day, two days, three days... He began to integrate into this real hawker life. Those who were on the stall thought he was just having fun at first, but gradually they recognized him as the best friend of the best. Everyone lived in harmony, especially with his own movie hero, Tony Leung has always had a good business and earned four or five hundred more money every night. It is even better than office workers.
However, for Tony Leung, his favorite thing is acting or being an actor. If God gives him another chance, he will definitely not let it go.
And God seemed to have really heard his voice. After getting up early today, he opened the newspaper and just glanced at it, stood up excitedly, found a piece of clothing that could be considered out, and carefully dressed up in the mirror for a long time. He whistled with satisfaction and said to himself: "Leung Ka Fai, Leung Ka Fai! Everyone said that Kitten is a very sensible expert. Today I hope you can be seen by him and taken a fancy to you, and then you will have hope to return to the film industry!"
He carefully lifted up the best suit on the table, and then went out with a beautiful vision of the future!
...
Director Production Department of Hong Kong. Xinyi City.
John Woo has had a hard time recently. In fact, the most important thing is that the company is coldly treated by him. He only filmed a "Baocai Lin Yazhen" that lost money, which caused the company to lose tens of millions. He himself has been in decline for two years. Now he originally wanted to turn around with the drama "Laughter", but he encountered a battle between the movie emperor entertainment and Debao company, and became cannon fodder. The company lost millions more. This time the company was completely disappointed with him, thinking that he had no talent. He was already an A Dou who could not help him. So he left him idle.
As a director, there is no show to shoot and do nothing, which is even more uncomfortable than death. For John Woo, there is really no way to live such a life!
Leaving ATV is indeed the best choice, but what can you do after leaving? Do you work?
"No! I long to film, I long to go to the big screen! So even if I switch to other companies!" He firmly picked up his clothes and walked out of the room. On the table, there was a newspaper with a large recruitment advertisement for Actor Entertainment. The above sentence: "The bigger the dream is, the bigger the stage is! Actor Entertainment is looking forward to your joining!"
...
Jacky Cheung has been very confused recently. As a song that just debuted this year, he stood out from more than 20,000 contestants and won the championship of the first 18th District Amateur Singing Competition. Since then, he has become the best among the newcomers in the Hong Kong music scene and is even considered the successor of the "decent singer" Guan Zhengjie.
Jacky Cheung looked bright at this time. What's more, Polygold Records is still negotiating with him to sign a contract with him to release records, but only he knows that his dream is not just a singing and acting career, but to become a three-star film and television star like Xu Guanjie and Leslie Cheung.
In addition, what bothers Jacky Cheung the most is Liu Dehua. It is said that with the help of the Best Actor Entertainment, he has released records and has sold more than 200,000 yuan. The "Ice Rain" and "Forgetful Water" he sang have become popular in Hong Kong and even Asia, and its momentum is much more than his own. No one wants to be compared by his fellow students, so Jacky Cheung!
What's more, Liu Dehua made his debut halfway, but he only received help from noble people, so he suddenly rose to the music industry.
Who is that noble person?
Joke Hao!
"He just met a powerful kidnappy and gave him a few easy-to-selling songs! In terms of singing style and skills, I will never lose to him!" Jacky Cheung muttered confidently in his heart, but then he thought: "He can rely on kidnappy once, but he can rely on him again the second time! No, no matter what, I have to have a good relationship with kidnappy. Even if I don't ask him for a song, I can at least learn something from him!"
Thinking of this, he strengthened his belief even more and took a look at the recruitment revelation in the newspaper, "I want to join the actor!"
...
No one expected that the Best Actor Entertainment just published a recruitment information in the newspaper, which attracted Hong Kong talents to flock.
John Woo, Jacky Cheung, and Tony Leung have many talents, but these are some great masters in their previous lives. Unexpectedly, they all came to join the movie emperor.
At this, Ji Zihao couldn't help but cheer, "Come on! The more the better! I'm not afraid of you asking for a high price, but I'm afraid you won't come!"
You should know that the development and competition in the film industry are no longer a theater chain or configuration, but a competition for talents!
So, Duan Zihao clenched his fists tightly and said to himself softly: "Try hard! For your dreams, for Hong Kong movies, and for the glory of all Chinese people, you must work hard!"
...
Now, the scale of Actor Entertainment has doubled again, and those who have newly joined Actor Entertainment have their own income.
For example, John Wu will direct the sequel to "The True Heroes" in place of Duan Zihao, and the two dramas "Blooded Two Heroes".
John Wu was almost moved to tears. He really didn't expect that Duan Zihao would trust him so much. He just came here and gave him two such important works. What does this mean? It shows that he trusts and values him!
A scholar dies for his confidant!
John Wu has made up his mind to work hard in the movie king entertainment in the future, and to repay the kindness of this good boss, Duan Zihao, to him.
Duan Zihao also breathed a sigh of relief. Your grandmother's bear finally doesn't have to be exhausted to film. Throwing these two dramas to John Woo is also considered a return to the original owner. I hope he won't let himself down.
As for Jacky Cheung, when he joined the movie hero entertainment, Duan Zihao created a new album title song "Kiss Goodbye". After singing it once, Jacky Cheung was immediately shocked by such an amazing song. He also indirectly admitted Duan Zihao's irreplaceable status as the "God of Creation". For him, joining the movie hero this time was definitely the right choice. Just for this song is worth it. But obviously Duan Zihao gave him the opportunity not only, but also arranged him in the crew of "Eight Stars Newspaper" and told him, "People should have ambitions and a fighting spirit, so it is best to develop together in the song and film!"
Jacky Cheung was extremely moved immediately. He didn't expect that this new boss would take care of him so much and think about him so much. At this time, Duan Zihao was planning how much money he could make for the album "Kiss Goodbye" created by Jacky Cheung...
Let’s talk about Tony Leung. After joining the Best Actor Entertainment, he was actually arranged to serve as a “professor” in an artist training class.
To this end, Tony Leung was so amused that he was here to act, but he didn't expect to teach students. But then, he was even more stunned because his students were Maggie Cheung, Aaron Kwok, Leon Lai, and some newly recruited newcomers from the Best Actor Entertainment... When these young people with a hot future bowed to him, the "old senior", Tony Leung was in a dream. He never thought that he had just come out of the training class and had not yet acted in a few dramas, what qualifications would be to be the mentor of these people? But for these students, it is not just for anything else, but for Tony Leung's brilliant title of "Fei Best Actor" alone, it is enough to be their teacher. There is a saying that learning is endless. Those who are good at it are the first!
Before this was finished, just when Tony Leung made up his mind to be a mentor, the Best Actress Entertainment arranged for him several dramas such as "The World", "Rose, I Love You", and "God of Gambling".
This time, Tony Leung was stunned...
...
The expansion of the Best Actor Entertainment has caused many opponents to be nervous. No one expected that this company, which has been established for less than two years, would develop faster than that of the Rockets.
Now this expansion speed can be described as horror. If the Actor Entertainment has a rising space or opportunity again, will it become the next Shaw Brothers? or even Jiahe?
But soon, Duan Zihao publicly stated that he would never engage in monopoly and would never be an oligarchical film.
These words gave many small film companies peace of mind, at least they don’t have to worry about being annexed by the other party. However, the movie actors don’t annexed them, but it doesn’t mean that Debao doesn’t do this.
In just one month, Debao Group, with its strong capital and support from Sony and Colombia's Asian branches, has acquired eight small and medium-sized film companies in Hong Kong, making Debao Group's film business instantly expand into a large company that can compete with Jiahe and Xinyi City.
The emergence of this behemoth completely sounded the clarion call for the next round of movie wars. (To be continued)
