Reborn Hong Kong's Hidden Behind the Scenes

Chapter 117 Teddy Robin
Three days later, Su Cheng still met with Teddy Robin at the teahouse that Zou Wenhuai often visited.

Contrary to what later generations know, in the past few days, he has asked several newspapers under his command to sort out the detailed information of this eccentric.Different from Li Xiaotian’s few words and phrases, apart from forming a band in the 60s, the so-called more than 20 albums were released in just 5 years, which established him as the number one contemporary rocker in Xiangjiang.And the Playboy Band, which he served as the lead singer, also became the number one band.

However, more and more bands joined later, as well as the rock market, and even the style of music gradually became unpopular with the times. Teddy Robin retreated bravely and began to develop in the film industry. Because of his lack of acting skills, he knew too little about the inside story of movies. After studying in Hollywood and other regions, he finally returned to Hong Kong in the late 70s to form his own film company.

However, not long after that company started, it was shocked by the sudden rise of Tengyue Entertainment Company, and was incorporated into New Art City when it was first established.

In addition, Teresa Teng, an internationally renowned singer on Bay Island, is also a loyal fan of Teddy Robin. It can be seen how extraordinary the achievements of this great talent are.

"Mr. Guan!"

"Boss Su!"

Teddy Robin was originally named Guan Weipeng, but not many people call him that now.Generally called Robin.

After the greeting, Su Cheng was quite moved when he saw the genius in front of him who was only about 1 meters tall.It was recorded in the information that he was seriously ill when he was a child. Although the treatment was cured, the sequelae were serious due to the delay of three years. Otherwise, he must be a "handsome man".

"I don't know if Boss Su is looking for me?" Robin asked suspiciously.

Su Cheng put away the emotion in his heart, and said frankly: "I would like to invite Mr. Guan to be the English song director and record producer of the Hollywood branch of our Tengyue Entertainment Company."

"Boss Su should call me Robin! Mr. Guan is not used to it." After a moment of silence, Robin said: "Boss Su is very sincere, but at present, I personally still want to make some achievements in movies, so... ..."

Interrupting him, Su Cheng said: "You must have misunderstood me. I didn't tell you to give up being an actor or even a director. As long as you have a good script or idea, as long as you can approve it, we will Teng Yue Entertainment will invest and support it. The artists under its command can also be selected by you. Of course, if the other party is unwilling to accept the show, that's another matter."

"Boss Su is planning to poach me?" Robin was not hit by Su Cheng's sugar-coated bullet, but smiled clearly.

"Isn't it possible? Not only our company can dig talented and capable people, but also other companies. It's just that I took the lead." Su Cheng admitted truthfully.

This statement first made Robin stunned, and then a faint ripple emerged in his heart.After all, he has no shortage of musical talents, but when it comes to the film industry, he is not considered a person with great achievements, and it is not low to have such an evaluation.Not to mention the so-called "freedom and autonomy".

At first, he thought that Su Cheng just wanted to sign his "record producer appointment", but now it seems that even the "artist appointment" has to be taken away.

Su Cheng's invitation was also because he was not aware of Robin's achievements in the film industry before. From the information, he knew that this person was one of the screenwriters of the movie "Pointing Fingers" that was released not long ago. , but also the producer.

You know, it was filmed by Darong Film Company. Without certain attainments, the position of producer is impossible.

It seems that this person was underestimated before!
Since he is an all-rounder, he has to dig even more.Who made Maijia and the others never reuse him at all!

"Thank you, Boss Su, for your kindness. I don't have the luck to accept it now." After thinking about it, Robin still declined.

I knew he would have such an attitude, and Su Cheng was not in a hurry. While refilling a cup of hot tea for the other party, he said with a gentle smile: "You can think about this matter slowly. When it feels right, our Tengyue Entertainment Company The door will be open to you. However, it is best not to wait until a year later, after all, you also know that our company has finally gained a foothold in Hollywood, which naturally attracts the prying eyes of many people. For this reason, our music department must Establish it as soon as possible. Of course, if it is up to you, you can put the office in the Xiangjiang headquarters. You only need to go there when the song is released or there is an event. In addition, once you come to our Tengyue Entertainment, don’t say It is not impossible to participate in Hong Kong's local films, Hollywood blockbusters. At least within this year, our company will have four to five films released. You can see the momentum before making a decision."

Hearing these soothing words, Robin's heart moved slightly.

Outsiders may not know that the interior of New Art City is not harmonious. Last year, in order to seize the market and give an explanation to Boss Lei, everyone cheered together, which made the internal atmosphere very good.But after the Chinese New Year, when the news spread that "Back to the Future" was a hit at the box office in North America, everyone was fighting for the script and investment.

Even Mai Jia, Shi Tian, ​​and Huang Baiming, who they thought had the best relationship, were the same.why?Invest in a script, how much is the budget, how much is the director's salary and dividends, how much is the screenwriter, and how much is the actor's salary, all need to be negotiated.It’s okay if the box office is mediocre, but once the fire hits, the benefits will be distributed unevenly, and it’s no wonder that you can feel happy in your heart!
After all, apart from Shi Tian, ​​Huang Baiming and Mai Jia both have screenwriting, director, and producer talents.It is also a candidate for the protagonist.They got into a dispute, can the rest be reconciled?
Not to mention that there is a large difference in the proportion of the company's shares, there is no contradiction, it's just that the company's profits are too small to be worthwhile.

What will happen in the future is unknown!

Robin doesn't want to argue about this kind of thing, and often avoids it.

After a long time, it is inevitable to give birth to the intention of leaving.

It just so happened that the current Tengyue Entertainment Company gave him a choice.

"Thank you Boss Su for your appreciation!"

"You're welcome, you're welcome, come, drink tea, drink tea!"

Although he didn't get the desired result, he didn't completely reject it either. Su Cheng smiled slightly, and stayed with Teddy Robin for a while.

When saying goodbye to each other, Su Cheng patted Robin on the shoulder and said kindly: "I hope you don't think about it for too long. The next time you go to Hollywood, it would be great if we could go there together."

After pausing for a moment, Robin said solemnly: "With Boss Su's words, the time will surely be very fast."

"Then I'm looking forward to seeing you!" Hearing this, Su Cheng laughed loudly.

"Thank you! Farewell!"

Staring at Robin's retreating back for a long time, Su Cheng thought to himself: "Since you are tempted, you will not be able to escape the fate of coming to our Tengyue Entertainment. Perhaps, the Hollywood branch will have an extra talent."
