Reborn Hong Kong Wild Age

Chapter 25 Male Lead

There are many famous directors in Hong Kong, Gu Xiayang is the most fancy, and Du Qifeng is definitely among the best.

Because compared to many "money making" factions, Du Qifeng is one of the few directors in Hong Kong who are serious about making movies.

His creations are consistent, generally speaking, they are black, violent, dynamic and fateful.People like and appreciate Du Qifeng's films, in addition to his black philosophy, simple techniques and aesthetic attitude towards violent interpretation, the most important thing is that his films can always give the audience a masculine sigh beyond the visual.

Among Du Qifeng's films, Gu Xiayang's attention is most drawn to "Gunfire".This movie not only boldly broke through the limitations of gangster movies, but also laid the foundation of "Du's aesthetics".

As for Chen Musheng, he does not have a special directorial temperament, more like a meticulous worker, professionalism is his strong point.He is good at choosing the subject matter according to the situation, and has always insisted on shooting action movies.It is very good in the creation of big scenes, and it is also quite standard in the grasp of group dramas.

After Du Qifeng and Chen Musheng are settled, for Gu Xiayang, it is not only a matter of "If there is love in the sky", but also the skeleton of Tianxiayi Film Company.

After "If Love in Heaven" is really successful, Du Qifeng doesn't even need to invite him. Many of his good friends will actively hope to join Tianxiayi at this time, because the talents of these Hong Kong movies are still ups and downs.

As for the film "If There Is Love", there is a script, a director, a producer, and investment funds. It can be said that the rest of the things are small things, and it is not a problem to start filming immediately after it is settled.

The heroine had finalized Zhou Huimin before Gu Xiayang wrote the script of "If There Is Love in Heaven". As for Zhou Huimin's movie appointment, it can be said that it was settled without any effort.

At that time, Zhou Huimin had just participated in the competition and was well-known. Chen Shufen helped her prepare her first new album. But in today's music scene, apart from Xu Xiaofeng, Zhen Ni, Mei Yanfang and other first-line female singers, other singers such as Ye Qingwen, Chen Huixian and the others also started to show their talents. If there were no three songs given by Gu Xiayang, she would not even be able to post videos so quickly.

Gu Xiayang approached Chen Shufen and said that he opened a film company and wanted to sign Zhou Huimin's film contract. He almost proposed it, and the other party agreed. As for the price, it was not expensive, 8 yuan.

8 yuan for a movie is really not low for newcomers, especially actresses.

Just like Zhao Yazhi, who was originally very popular, in the early 80s, she had classic plays such as "Shanghai Beach" and "Chu Liuxiang". As one of the highest paid actresses, she asked for 25 yuan for a play.

Today’s price has not fluctuated much for actresses, because the film market has no leading actresses in the first place, except for the good box office "Royal Senior Sister" not long ago, which still focuses on "female stars" and The reason for Debao's praise of her boyfriend Pan Disheng.

On the other hand, male actors, when Zhang Guorong participated in the singing competition and became famous, he was tricked into filming a romantic movie - "Spring in the Red Chamber". The protagonist Jia Baoyu.

"The leading actors, Zhang Guorong and Zhou Runfa, have just signed to New Arts City. It is estimated that the script of "The True Colors of Heroes" has already come out. In the current market, it is really hard to find a male artist with a good image at a low price!"

"Liang Chaowei, Miao Qiaowei... No way, the temperament is not consistent enough, and TVB may not release people on time."

As for the male protagonist, Du Qifeng, who is still rushing to work on "Flying Fox in the Snow Mountain", also gave suggestions. Hong, there will definitely be many conflicts in the timing of the filming of the episodes arranged by TVB.

"It's still Liu Dehua, but I can't offend TVB! Even if I want to offend Liu Dehua's contract, I have no chance."

Gu Xiayang rubbed his temples with some annoyance, no matter whether it was preconceived or at present, the image and price are very suitable, even Liu Dehua is very suitable for his own film company to hold a signature artist.

But what is Liu Dehua's situation now?This year, after his talks with Wireless TVB collapsed, there was no news from him, and he was in the process of being blocked.

Just last year, shortly after "The Legend of Condor Heroes" aired, Wireless TVB proposed to renew the contract for five years, but Liu Dehua refused. "Kangxi".

Just at this time, the other "Four Tigers" also intend to develop into the film industry, so the five of them conspired to change jobs collectively.

According to Gu Xiayang's understanding, New Art City was very optimistic about Liu Dehua and Liang Chaowei at that time, intending to sign a contract with them and tailor-made movies for them.

But Liu Dehua was very loyal, and negotiated with New Art City many times to try to join the "Five Tigers" at the same time, but unexpectedly leaked the wind during their negotiations.

However, due to the status and influence of the five of them in Wireless TVB and even the entire Hong Kong show business circle at that time, the top management of Wireless TVB decided to act first and then attack, and adopted various methods of defeating them to secretly divide the "Wireless Five Tigers".

TVB's executives first approached Leung Chiu-wai, who has a poor family and needs to rely on work to support his family. He is also conservative and low-key, and promised that as long as he renews his contract, not only will he be the leading actor in every TV series, but he will also increase his salary.

Unable to resist threats and lures, and at that time Liang Chaowei really needed to make money to support his family, so he agreed to renew his contract with TVB, and TVB also kept his promise, changing him from the second male lead "Kangxi" in "The Deer and Ding Tale" to the first male lead No. "Wei Xiaobao", after Liang Chaowei signed the contract, the "Five Tigers" alliance camp was quickly disintegrated.

That is, this year, when there was only one year left in the contract signed at the beginning, Wireless TVB once again asked Liu Dehua to renew the contract.

Afterwards TVB completely blocked Liu Dehua, not only did not arrange for him to work, but also prohibited him from accepting outside jobs, just to let Liu Dehua taste the bitter fruit of disobedience.

Liu Dehua, who had just made his mark on the screen, was suddenly "hidden in the snow", which was undoubtedly a devastating blow to him at this time.

"Andy Lau's first record also hit the street. Even if it didn't hit the street, Huaxing Records would not play against TVB TVB. Normally, at the beginning of next year, Shao Liushu will come forward to mediate, and the two sides will settle down and shake hands to make peace."

Gu Xiayang knew that it was impossible to wait for Liu Dehua for a few more months. After gradually having an idea, he decided to make an appointment with Liu Dehua to understand the specific situation and try to help him reach a settlement with Wireless TVB. .

……

At Tangchao shop in Tsim Sha Tsui, Gu Xiayang is tasting the signature fresh shrimp bean curd roll.

Liu Dehua, who pushed the door open, saw Gu Xiayang, and hurriedly said, "Young Master Gu, hello, I'm Liu Dehua."

Before he received a call from Du Qifeng, he said "cool! The boss of the "magazine" was still at a loss when he made an appointment to meet him, and he was overjoyed until the other party said that the boss had just established a film company.

It's just that this kind of joy disappeared after hanging up the phone. His contract is currently not enough for him to skip TVB and star in movies.

But Liu Dehua, who is currently doing nothing, rushed over with a little expectation.

"The Condor Hero is here, please sit down. Order what you want."

Andy Lau quickly waved his hands and said, "Young Master Gu, just call me Hua Tsai."

Although the age difference between the two is a few years, but he is a banned artist, and the other party is a big boss, Liu Dehua didn't care about it.

Gu Xiayang looked at Liu Dehua who was still immature at this time, and even a little baby fat, and said with a smile: "I have been banned for more than two hundred days, what are you doing every day?"

"Working out, practicing singing, and watching a lot of film and television dramas to study."

When Liu Dehua was just banned, she also felt confused, confused, lost, and regretted her impulsiveness.However, with the passage of time, on the one hand, he seeks a way to reconcile with TVB, on the other hand, he corrects his mentality and faces life positively.

"I heard that you still have a mortgage of 5000 yuan per month, and TVB won't pay you, can you stand it?"

"Can't stand it."

Liu Dehua smiled wryly: "It's all thanks to the support of family and friends, I can't do anything now!"

"I have a movie and I want to ask you to be the leading actor. But now you are hidden by wireless tvb. Uncle Shao's family has a big business. I can't afford to offend you. If you talk about it, it will collapse. Let me see if I can help you."

Hearing Gu Xiayang's words, Liu Dehua quickly opened his mouth to explain.At that time, he had already negotiated peace with many insiders, and he only hoped that Gu Xiayang could also help him.

It turns out that after the filming of "Extrajudicial Love", Liu Dehua and TVB still have a one-year and nine-month contract.But the Five Tigers are too popular, Wireless TVB requires everyone to renew their contracts in advance, and must sign for five years, intending to tie them to death.

However, Andy Lau is becoming more and more interested in movies and hopes to turn his career focus to the big screen.

He initially tried to sign with TVB for only three years, but after being rejected, he proposed to only work for TVB for eight months in each of the five years, and arrange the other four months freely, but was rejected again, and finally he was forced to hide.

After being blocked, Liu Dehua was struggling financially. When Liu Dehua was most embarrassed, he once went to help sell tickets for Tan Yonglin's concert. This opportunity was given to him by his good friend Zhang Guozhong.

Speaking of Zhang Guozhong, he is the nephew of Tan Yonglin's wife, but he is similar to Allen in age, and the two have known each other since they were in the Winner band.He had been working for Liang Li Shaoxia at first, and he became a producer after the establishment of Zhucheng Films. He met Zhou Runfa when he was filming "The Story of Hu Yue".

Since TVB dramas are popular in Southeast Asia, Zhou Runfa has many overseas performances, so he asked Zhang Guozhong to help him with his affairs.Later, more and more businesses were received, and the two and Li Xiaolin jointly established Shadow Dancer Company in the early 80s.When Zhou Runfa committed suicide for his girlfriend and was admitted to the hospital, it was Zhang Guozhong who blocked the reporter from left to right.

However, at the beginning of this year, Shadow Dancer disbanded, and Zhang Guozhong and Tan Yonglin just founded Yineng Entertainment. If it wasn't for TVB, he should have signed a manager contract with Andy Lau.

After listening to Liu Dehua's detailed talk about his conflicts with TVB, Gu Xiayang nodded and said, "So it's not that you don't want to work for TVB, but you just want to have more time to make movies and make money, right? "

"Yes!"

"I see."

According to Gu Xiayang's thinking, Shao Liushu finally reached a settlement with Liu Dehua at the beginning of next year because Hua Tsai is indeed popular, because his contract is about to expire, and if he ends up on TV Asia, he will have multiple powerful opponents, and his influence will be even greater. Bad, it's not a good thing.

Gu Xiayang, who probably had some thoughts in his mind, said, "I'll try to meet Miss Fang and talk about your affairs. I'll let you know if I have good news."

Liu Dehua got up, and solemnly said: "Thank you, Young Master Gu, no matter if it succeeds or not, I will always remember this kindness."
