I haven't been a boss for many years

Chapter 53
He didn't know whether this Liu Weiqiang was Liu Weiqiang or not. He took a sip of coffee and moistened his throat: "Which one is Liu Weiqiang? Why haven't I heard of it in the company?"

"It's just a small photographer, carrying the camera behind Lao Hu's back all the time, do you remember?"

"I also discovered his talent by accident. If you think it's okay, ask him to help you. Start as a photographer. Li Dawei used to be a producer at a TV station. He was a disciple of McDonald Bear. Recently, he owed a lot of gambling debts and left the TV station. Since I have no job, I will definitely promise you to direct and make a film.”

"As long as you give enough money." Wu Yusen had considered everything comprehensively.

"You can also name yourself as the director on the spot, let Li Dawei be the assistant director, and continue to practice your directing ability."

"Occasionally, I can come over to help you when I have time. Although I have a film to shoot, it doesn't matter if I go to the class and check it out. If I don't have a name, Zou Sheng is too embarrassed to do anything."

Zhang Guobin nodded: "Well, Li Dawei has heard of it, so let's dig it out and use it first."

Who is Li Dawei?

Street director!
I have filmed more than [-] films in my life, and the most popular film was nominated for an Academy Award, but the "Lei Luo Biography" series as an assistant director has a good reputation, and being a tool director is enough.

Zhang Guobin didn't think that he could become a great director after spending two months on the set, helping to film "A Hero's True Colors".

However, two months on the set was not in vain. As the boss, he can learn a lot, and with Wu Yusen's help to control the quality, he personally appointed the director to control the main plot of "Happy Ghost", and let Li Dawei be the assistant director. Work part-time, train Liu Weiqiang again
If this Liu Weiqiang is really the other Liu Weiqiang, quickly sign and train him, and it will definitely bring great surprises in the future.

"Infernal Affairs" and "Young and Dangerous" are two money-printing machines. Although the time is not ripe and we can't force it, the future must be in our hands...

If I remember correctly, Liu Weiqiang is indeed a natural talent. He doesn't like to study and drop out of school, but he can use the lens to the extreme to shoot classics. Now, he is indeed still working as a small worker on the set, as a small worker for Shaw Brothers. How can there be a dream factory? The small workers here are good, and the salary is [-] yuan more!

Liu Weiqiang is really a smart man!
Famous directors to be my studio workers,

feel good.

Zhang Guobin nodded: "Thank you Senge, this time the film is sold out, I will give you a big red envelope."

"Mr. Zhang, you're welcome. Just call me Brother Sen now? Could it be that if the movie doesn't sell well, I won't get any red envelopes?" Wu Yusen said with a smile.

Zhang Guobin drank tea: "Yes, but not necessarily big."

Zhou Runfa pondered silently for a while, and waited for the two of them to finish chatting, then sighed: "I had a good candidate, but unfortunately...it's a pity that Xingzi has signed a contract with Li's TV station, and he has been busy playing tricks on several dramas recently. "

Zhou Runfa felt a little regretful.

"Xingzi?" Zhang Guobin raised his eyebrows.

Xingzi who is playing tricks,
It was obviously Zhou Xingchi.

Zhou Xingchi signed a contract with Li's TV station in 1980 and became a special actor of Li's TV station. The so-called special actor of the film and television company/TV station is actually a group performer.

In movies, stage or TV shows, these short-term contract hires are called "extras".

Extras are graded again,

up middle down,
There is a slight increase in hourly salary for different grades.

Zhang Guobin knew it well.

The king of comedy?

NO.

Playing tricks?

yes!

In 81, Zhou Xingchi applied for Shaw's 11th TVB artist training class
Did not pass the exam.

same year,

Zhou Xingchi entered the night training class of the 11th wireless TV artist training class,
Go through the relationship.

In 1983, Zhou Xingchi officially became a contract artist of TVB after graduating from TVB artist training class, and started his long acting career again.

It wasn't until July 1991 that Zhou Xingchi starred in "The Gambler 7 Shanghai Beach Gambler" and won a box office of 2 million Hong Kong dollars. He was called "Double Monday Success" together with Zhou Runfa and Jackie Chan.

The king of comedy has been honed over eleven long years, and now Zhou Xingchi is just a secondary player who can't get enough of his box lunch... a deadly secondary player...

Zhang Guobin is looking forward to cooperating with the king of comedy in the future. Unfortunately, the director is the soul of the film, Zhou Xingchi is too personal, many movies are starring Zhou Xingchi himself, the effect of the film is difficult to replicate.

Moreover, Zhou Xingchi's personality is too strong, so cooperation is fine, so he should be trained early?Not suitable!At that time, it would be better to directly discuss interests, talk about cooperation, and split the box office, now?A boy who plays a part-on-one is going to play a part-time job first... In a few years, he will play "The Legend of the Condor Heroes".

"So, is there anything else you can recommend?"

"one left."

"Awei."

"Ah Wei again?" Zhang Guobin was surprised, picked up his coffee and took a sip: "Which Awei?"

There are indeed a lot of people in Xiangjiang named Ah Wei. Throwing a cup of milk tea on the street can hit ten Ah Weis.

Zhou Runfa has always been friendly, courteous, and friendly with everyone.

I met a lot of new people,
Also happy to recommend newcomers.

"Liang Chaowei."

"A salesman who wants to enter an artist training class."

Zhou Runfa preached.

"Gollum."

Zhang Guobin swallowed.

God of dancing!

The previous star, Zhou Xingchi,

The latter Awei Liang Chaowei,

Ah Fa is indeed Ah Fa, the Ah Fa who pointed at the Mercedes-Benz luxury car and said to a newcomer: "Like it? One day you can afford it"!In terms of newcomers to the artist circle, Ah Fa is definitely the one with the widest network of popular stars such as Dilong and Zhao Yazhi.

It's true to ask him to recommend newcomers!
Zhang Guobin suddenly realized that in 80 years, many future big names and movie stars have not yet made their debut. Relying on the influence of the first film, there will be a lot of movie stars and queens that Universal DreamWorks can get in the future...

Ah Fa?

He is the best "scattered talent boy",
Zhang Guobin smiled and said: "You know even a salesman, you, you, but I am very interested in the salesman you recommended, if you have a contact information, can you pass it to me?"

"It's ok, I introduced this salesman, but I just think he is born with a stuttering ability to be an actor. Since he wants to change his destiny, he should support him."

"When young people come, they always have dreams, so chase after them." Zhou Runfa said with emotion.

A few years ago, he was a dream-chaser boy who came from a poor background and was eager to change his destiny. Although his film and television became popular in Hong Kong in just a few years, he still remembered the housing estate where he lived. The roof would leak when it rained. Return to humidity, wet the sheets, and catch a cold every year.

This is the reason why he is willing to always give newcomers a chance and appreciate hardworking newcomers, and it is also the reason why he is honored as a "Fage" in the entertainment industry.

"You're right, I'm willing to give newcomers a chance." After Zhou Runfa told him Tony Leung's address, he tapped his fingers on the table and said with a smile, "I like to use newcomers the most."

He has already forgotten how to catch Fa Ge pulling wool in the first part.

He and Ah Fa look at actors differently. Ah Fa likes to stand from the perspective of an actor. One is to value the actor's acting skills and attitude, and the other is to consider the actor's image. Zhang Guobin only sees one thing: this actor does not fit the role I want. If it fits, can you shoot the desired character effect?

Every play and every character in his mind has a standard template. The template may not be perfect, but it is extremely valuable for reference and has been verified by the market.

Zhang Guobin felt that in terms of character image, between Zhou Xingchi and Liang Chaowei, Liang Chaowei was undoubtedly more suitable for the role of Happy Ghost.

Because Happy Ghost wants to play a clown, using the image of a clown to set off a young and beautiful girl, creating a comedy effect in the movie.

But Happy Ghost is also the leading actor, so it must not be too ugly!
"Harlequin" stands for pleasing, not annoying!Huang Baiming's own appearance is the slightly ugly face of Xiangjiang people. With some makeup and patches, he can almost achieve the desired effect. It can not only allow the citizens to enter, but also have a dramatic effect. The citizens who are too handsome can't substitute...

After all, the citizens of Xiangjiang are not starting readers. They are more beautiful than Wu Yanzu, more handsome than Zhang Guorong, with full wallets and happy families.

If you have to invite Zhou Xingchi and Liang Chaowei, the two young people who are invited are the image, all the acting skills are put aside, and the future is cultivated. Every scene has to be silent...

Although Xing Chi and Liang Chaowei are not bad in appearance, in order to meet the requirements of the film, both of them have to put on some ugly makeup.

Zhou Xingchi's ugly makeup is really ugly. Liang Chaowei's ugly makeup, ugly and cute, is very happy. You can refer to "East and West". Liang Chaowei is a bit late.

"By the way, Ah Fa. Do you know a salesman? And he said he was born to be an actor, and he looks very handsome?" Zhang Guobin planned to pave the way for the next selection.

Zhou Runfa raised his teacup, took a sip of hot tea, and said without hesitation, "I'm just encouraging the newcomers, they look just average."

"Oh, that might be normal." Zhang Guobin didn't pause, and immediately answered.

Ah Wei, the three-time winner of the Golden Statue Award for Best Actor?

So what!

Compared with the two of them,

Really average!
"Happy Ghost" three Wei lineup finalized!
Zhang Guobin felt very satisfied. While chatting happily with Zhou Runfa and Wu Yusen, he had no idea what happened in Causeway Bay
This is Causeway Bay, Great George Street, Liu Peiji's clothing studio, a window shop along the street.

A mannequin stood in the glass window.

The models wore custom-made suits and star costumes to show the designer's style.

Liu Peiji is of average build, with a square face, dyed creamy gray hair, and a black suit. He is in the studio, lowering his head and measuring the arm width of a suit with a tape measure.

He swung the tape measure between his fingers flexibly, picked up a piece of powder on the workbench, and tapped it to mark the size.

Immediately, he turned around and measured the waistline of his suit...

"Boom!"

"Boom!"

"Boom!"

There was the sound of a gong beating outside the door.

Liu Peiji raised his head suspiciously, and asked softly, "Ah Jin, is there a neighbor funeral in broad daylight?"

"If there is, please help send a piece of silk gold to express your affection."
