Rebirth of Hong Kong - 1978

Chapter 676 Ultimatum
"Good morning, Miss Zeng."

Andy Lau greeted each other respectfully.

Zeng Lizhen nodded, then pointed to the chair opposite her.

"Sit down and talk."

Andy Lau sat down obediently, but his heart was still agitated.

"Well, how have you been thinking about this time?"

Zeng Lizhen had talked with Andy Lau several times before, but because "School Police Attack" reached the most critical time, she didn't bother him.

Now that "Student Police Attack" has been filmed and has started to air, Zeng Lizhen plans to settle this matter in the next two days.

Fang Yihua has entrusted her with this task for a long time, and it has not been completed yet, which puts a lot of pressure on Zeng Lizhen's heart.

"Miss Zeng, I like acting very much, and I really want to stay in TVB. If the senior management is willing to give me a chance, I will definitely work harder in the future."

It sounds like there is nothing wrong with Andy Lau's words, but Zeng Lizhen, who has dealt with him many times, knows that what Andy Lau didn't say is that he will sign a five-year contract.

"Ah Hua, you are not yet 21 years old. A ten-year contract is not too long. With your qualifications, I believe you will be able to switch to a more lucrative contract in a few years. Why are you so stubborn?"

Originally Fang Yat Wah wanted Andy Lau to sign for 15 years, but because of his insistence, he took a step back and changed it to [-] years.

But even so, Andy Lau still refused to let go and insisted on signing for five years.

"Miss Zeng, in fact, five years is not a short period of time. If everyone is happy to cooperate by then, I will definitely renew the contract."

Andy Lau used Zeng Lizhen's words to block her mouth.

Zeng Lizhen saw that Andy Lau was determined and only wanted to sign for five years, and she didn't have any good solutions.

"Ah Hua, today I'm formally notifying you on behalf of Miss Fang. If you don't want to sign the contract, I'm afraid you won't be able to stay in TVB any longer."

Originally, Andy Lau thought that there was still room for discussion on this matter, but he never thought that Zeng Lizhen would say such a thing.

For a moment, Andy Lau, who was stunned by this ultimatum, looked at a loss.

"I'll give you another day to think about it. Come to my office at this time tomorrow. You can take this contract back and have a look."

Handing over a ten-year contract to Andy Lau, it can be said that Zeng Lizhen's task has basically been completed.

If the other party is willing to sign, then everything will be solved.

But if Andy Lau is unwilling to sign, Fang Yathua has already explained that in order to protect the interests of the company, he can only give up.

Although Andy Lau has good potential, there is a great possibility that he can become a popular niche in TVB.

But Fang Yihua didn't want to mess up the company because of Andy Lau's relationship, so giving up on him was the only way.

"Thank you Miss Zeng, then I'll go first."

After putting away the contract, Andy Lau stood up, and then slightly bowed to Zeng Lizhen.

Nodding slightly, Zeng Lizhen lowered her head and continued to process the documents.

After Andy Lau left, she picked up the phone and briefly reported the situation to Fang Yathua.

…………

"Mr. Lin, what should I do now?"

Andy Lau was restless all day long, thinking about it, and finally had no choice but to go to New Oriental to meet Lin Daoqiu.

After all, it was Lin Daoqiu's suggestion to make him insist on a five-year contract.

Now TVB has suddenly dealt with it harshly, if he doesn't sign, they will give him up, which frightens Andy Lau.

After listening to Andy Lau's words, Lin Daoqiu was really surprised.

After all, such an excellent actor as Andy Lau, and a young man with the potential to become a popular niche, Fang Yathua dared to use this method to test him.

If Andy Lau really gritted his teeth, refused to sign a contract with TVB, and ran to ATV instead, it would definitely be a big loss for TVB.

"I wonder now, what do you think?"

Lin Daoqiu had already made up his mind, if TVB really didn't want to give Andy Lau a five-year contract, he could only bring Andy Lau to ATV.

After all, Andy Lau's acting skills are still very unfamiliar at this time, and acting in TV dramas can only be regarded as passable.

It's definitely not a good idea to praise him as a movie star at this time.

But no matter whether he goes to ATV or stays in TVB, Lin Daoqiu will respect Andy Lau's wishes. After all, this is his own life, and Luther lets him choose.

I am neither his parents nor his nanny, so it is impossible to help him decide everything.

Besides, Andy Lau is not the kind of young man who has no idea, although he is not yet 21 years old.

"I...I want to stay in wireless."

After hesitating for a while, Andy Lau still expressed his inner thoughts.

It has to be said that at this time, TVB's position in the Xiangjiang TV circle is still at the dominant level.

Not to mention that Andy Lau applied for the TVB training class at the beginning, but did not go to ATV. This is also a kind of recognition for TVB.

In addition, he has been in Wireless for a while, and finally got to know some people. If he is asked to change his family at this time, everything will have to start all over again.

"But you have to think about it. If you sign it in ten years, you will be 30 years old by then. Even if you want to regret it, it will be too late."

Lin Daoqiu knows how powerful wireless is at squeezing artists.

A series of tasks such as high-load work intensity, day and night watching dramas, and interviews and singing.

Andy Lau probably doesn't know what kind of situation he will face in the next few years.

"I've already thought about it, I like acting very much, and I like being an actor very much."

Once a decision was made, Andy Lau's hesitant gaze suddenly became firm.

Lin Daoqiu knew that although Andy Lau said this now, he would definitely regret it in a few years.

But Lin Daoqiu would not say these words to him.

"Well, if that's the case, then I have nothing to say, I can only wish you good luck."

Lin Daoqiu stood up and stretched out his hand towards Andy Lau.

After shaking hands with the other party, the smile returned to Andy Lau's face.

…………

"Miss Fang, last night's ratings are out."

While Fang Yihua was dealing with matters, the secretary knocked on the door suddenly and came in. She brought the ratings of last night's TV show.

If he hadn't received Zeng Lizhen's call, Fang Yihua still wanted to know how many ratings "Student Police Attack" got last night.

However, after receiving Zeng Lizhen's call, Fang Yihua's expectations for the ratings of "Student Police Attack" have been greatly reduced.

"Got it, put it on the table and I'll see it later."

After Fang Yihua finished speaking, he continued to work with his head down.
