Rebirth of Hong Kong 1981

  Chapter 529 Towards the Master's Steps

  Sometimes, people's fate is really doomed from birth.

   Seven Little Fortunes have no shortage of opportunities for everyone, and they work very hard, but the film and television industry has always been a place to see faces and talents. Not everyone has the opportunity and talent to become popular and become a big star.

   Either the beauty is unmatched, the ugly and unique, even if it is mediocre, you must show your high emotional intelligence...

  Lin Zhengying, who has been in the film and television industry for almost ten years, knows how difficult it is for a person to have an opportunity. To become famous in one fell swoop, strength and luck are indispensable.

   A person doesn’t even have the chance to become the protagonist, do you think you will take care of the things after you become famous?

  Lin Zhengying is like this at the moment. He doesn't care about being famous and is limited within the framework. If that is the case, it means that his role is very successful.

  Lin Zhengying held Yang Chen's manuscript without any hesitation, and said, "Boss, I want to try."

  Yang Chen: "It's decided, don't you regret it?"

   "No regrets" Lin Zhengying clenched her hands tightly and said firmly.

   Even if the film is finished and his role is fixed, so what?

   He is not a person who only relies on acting to make a living. Whether he is a director, a martial artist, or a screenwriter, he does everything and is proficient in everything.

   To use a common saying to describe him, Lin Zhengying is a brick in the Hong family's class, and he moves wherever he goes.

   Seeing that Lin Zhengying had already made up his mind, Yang Chen couldn't persuade him any more. He was afraid that he would say too much, and there would be no Ninth Uncle coming out to exorcise everyone from evil spirits in the future.

   Then, Yang Chen began to talk to the two of them about some details of Mr. Zombie, some classic props.

   For example, peach wood sword, talisman paper and the like.

   Sammo Hung and Lin Zhengying's eyes flickered when they heard Yang Chen say these things. They didn't expect Yang Chen to study these things so meticulously.

  Thinking of Yang Chen's previous titles, the roles changed so quickly that the two of them felt dazzled, they didn't know what to say, so they could only **** up their ears and listen carefully.

   When they were filming ghosts and ghosts before, they already knew something about these things, but they were not as detailed as Yang Chen said. Now, after Yang Chen mentioned it, the two of them suddenly became enlightened.

   After Yang Chen finished saying what he had to say, Sammo Hung was a little unfinished: "Boss, look, why don't we shoot Mr. Zombie first, and then postpone the filming of my previous prodigal?"

   Yang Chen hurriedly waved his hand and said, "No, no, you can shoot the one you have first, and Mr. Zombie will wait for another year to shoot."

   "Why do you have to wait for another year to shoot?" Sammo Hung wondered.

   He thinks Mr. Zombie's script is very good. As Qi Xiaofu's first shot, if he doesn't make a name for himself, how can he attract everyone's attention and attract the attention of Huang Xizhao and other high-level officials.

  Yang Chen explained: "It's going to be New Year's Day soon, Sanmao, you're not going to let everyone spend this New Year in shock, right? If that's the case, then the big guy will inevitably point at your nose and scold."

   "Uh..." Sammo Hung was embarrassed when he heard this.

   It's really like this. In this big New Year, people like festive things. If they film Mr. Zombie and release it, everyone will be scared into cold sweats, and they will inevitably be scolded.

   Being scolded by people during the Chinese New Year and festivals is not a good sign. No matter how thick he is, he cannot stand this blessing.

   After the matter was over, Hong Jinbao and Lin Zhengying didn't stay too long, and left Yang Chen's office.

   It’s not too long before the Chinese New Year, the time is very fast, they can’t be slow.

   The cast of The Legend of Condor Heroes had already returned, and ATV's tightened manpower suddenly became rich again, so they hurried to grab the manpower.

   Now there are a lot of people at ATV, and the number of star artists is almost the same as that of TVB Shaw Brothers. The reason why TVB and Shaw Brothers have not been dug up by ATV and Princess Jin is mainly because their long-term contracts have played a big role.

  A lot of TVB and Shaw Brothers star artists, although they have heartbeat slots, but because they hold their contracts, life and death are in the hands of others, they don’t dare to change jobs even if they want to.

   Even so, many of the rookie artists of TVB and Shaw Brothers, the kind of stars who basically don’t spend a lot of money, have been dug up by ATV.

   There are more people, and the internal competition pressure of ATV is naturally not small.

   Fortunately, ATV has improved the quality of film and television. In the past, the main actors and supporting roles of a play were strictly prohibited from running back and forth among several crews.

  When you shoot a movie, you have to devote all your attention to one movie, and play roles in rotation. How can you focus on the things in front of you?

   In this way, the staff was appropriately strained.

   In addition to those who play tricks, they are a little famous, and there is one artist who counts one. Basically, they have filming and are busy with things.

  Yang Chen has strictly stipulated that when the ATV Artists Department was established, it is forbidden to over-abuse the image and influence of each star, and it is also not allowed to over-press the potential of the stars.

  Everyone is a human, not a machine.

   In future generations, everyone only sees the stars shining brightly in front of others, but they cannot see the pitiful things behind them.

  The company holds the contract, and the company desperately squeezes the stars in order to make money. This kind of thing is not uncommon. It is not that they are unwilling to see a doctor, but they just don’t have the time.

   Their time is not their own, and during the contract period, everything they own belongs to the company.

   Many people who became famous overnight, almost none of them can escape the fate of being squeezed.

   This result has caused unpleasant disputes between the company and the stars. Almost every star will directly terminate the contract with the company as soon as the contract expires, and the company that holds the star contract is desperately squeezing the star's potential to make money for them.

   Many famous stars in later generations especially like to open studios. No matter how hard or tired they are, they have to do it alone. This is the reason.

   tried the taste of being controlled by others. They didn’t want to continue being controlled, so naturally they came up with the idea of ​​opening a studio.

   What are the consequences of opening a studio? The cost and expenses have increased, so that when many stars take on the show, people feel like they are opening their mouths to the lion.

   The problem caused by high remuneration must be high cost, and even most producers will compress the budget of other aspects of movies and TV series, which will cause the quality of the whole drama to decline.

   If a TV series and movie investors can make money, it is okay to say that once they can’t make money, then there will obviously be no chance for the next cooperation between the two.

   Once, twice, or three times, investors cannot make money, and big stars will also become box office poisons.

   Therefore, the ATV Artists Department clearly spread these things out, clearly told each actor, and let them know their relationship with the company and the relationship between investors.
