Treasure Island 1992, starting from the Four Little Heavenly Kings

"The camera position, the camera position is wrong, please come and readjust it."

"Where's Edison Chen? Shit, rehearsals are about to start. Why does he need to go to the toilet?"

"OK, let me inform the judges that the recording has started."

In the judges' lounge, one could clearly hear the roar of program director Bai Chao in the studio.

"Mr. Chen, the director of your company has a very loud voice! You can hear his voice every time he comes here."

Chen Shufen, who was not far from Chen Qiming, laughed and teased.

Chen Qiming probably understood what she meant. She thought Baichao was too noisy.

Bai Chao was one of his own, so Chen Qiming naturally wanted to defend him, so he spoke for him, "The show is very popular now, and many people in the company are eyeing his position. As a newcomer, it is inevitable that he will be under pressure and afraid of not doing well.

Sister Shufen, please be patient. Today is the last issue. "

Compared with Leslie Cheung, Chen Qiming does not like Chen Shufen.

This person is too fussy.

She had to fight for the position on the show's judges' promotional posters, as well as the number of shots. Even if Leslie Cheung recorded for a few more hours, she would argue with ATV, saying that ATV didn't care about the artists' feelings.

Seriously speaking, as an agent, these actions of hers are definitely qualified.

However, Chen Qiming is now in charge of ATV. When she did this, Chen Qiming was still a little unhappy.

However, for Leslie Cheung's sake, he did not want to antagonize her.

"Of course it doesn't matter to me! It's just that my brother was filming very late last night. I originally wanted to come over here and take some time to rest, but..."

Before Chen Shufen could say anything, Leslie Cheung interrupted her, "Sister Shufen, it doesn't matter from my side. The show is so big, we also need to understand Director Bai Chao."

After saying that, Leslie Cheung smiled apologetically at Chen Qiming, "Mingzai, you don't have to pay attention to Sister Shufen's words."

Chen Qiming smiled and nodded.

He would definitely not take this matter to heart.

The worst thing is, I just won't cooperate with Leslie Cheung in the future, and we will just be friends in the industry.

In fact, this is also something that bothers Chen Qiming.

Several friends in his circle are all on the front line because of their qualifications and popularity. It is inevitable that they have relatively strong and capable agents behind them.

As a result, as Chen Qiming cooperated with them a lot, some problems also emerged.

For example, Andy Lau was invited to star in "Black Gold" some time ago. Because the film's investment budget was small, when Andy was invited to star, the crew went to discuss with Andy Lau, hoping that he would reduce the salary.

After all, Andy Lau has achieved good results internationally because of last year's "The Lonely Agent", and his salary has naturally increased a lot.

Currently, Andy Lau's quotation for filming in Hong Kong is HK$10 million plus a certain share of the box office.

This is the price at which all front-line actors in Hong Kong and Taiwan have seen their salaries drop due to the economic crisis.

But even this price is very high for black gold with an investment budget of only about 50 million.

Therefore, Chen Qiming hoped that Andy Lau could reduce his salary appropriately.

With the relationship between Chen Qiming and Andy Lau, this is definitely no problem.

However, Andy Lau is fine, but Andy Lau's manager Zhang Guozhong disagrees.

After the other party learned that Andy Lau's salary was only five million, he approached him directly and said that if the price was this, he would not allow Andy Lau to film this movie.

In the end, it was Andy Lau who convinced Leslie Cheung.

First, there was a gap between Andy Lau's agent and Chen Qiming due to the salary issue, and now Leslie Cheung's agent made Chen Qiming feel very uncomfortable in order to fight for Leslie Cheung's interests.

Two incidents made Chen Qiming have different thoughts in his mind. After all, he was too young.

Friends are friends, but interests must not be entangled.

After all, everyone is a big-name figure in the industry, and each of them has many interests behind them.

Andy Lau and Leslie Cheung definitely have nothing to do with each other, but the management team and company behind them will definitely seek to maximize their interests in the cooperation.

As for Chen Qiming, he must also prioritize saving.

You can't spend a lot of money on every movie.

If this happens again and again, and one or two losses occur, Pacific Ocean may not be able to bear it.

Therefore, the best way is to try not to invite people like Andy Lau and Leslie Cheung who are so expensive in the future.

Leslie Cheung over there pulled Chen Shufen aside. It seemed that Leslie Cheung was blaming her for embarrassing Chen Qiming for some minor issues.

Chen Shufen seemed to disagree with Leslie Cheung's words, and the two even quarreled at one point.

Seeing the quarrel between Leslie Cheung and Chen Shufen, Chen Qiming did not try to persuade them.

It just made me more determined to work less with good friends in the future.

Even if you want to cooperate, the accounts must be cleared and you can't always do favors.

It just so happens that in the past two years, with a lot of cooperation with the mainland, he has interacted with several performing arts schools in the mainland.

From now on, his company's films may be able to consider newcomers more.

They always use veteran actors from Hong Kong, so the audience doesn't get bored and they themselves feel bored.

Cultivating some new actors can not only contribute to the future of Chinese films, but also reduce the company's investment budget. Why not do it.

Well, there are also contestants like "Idol of the Times".

Through the window, you can clearly see the students rehearsing hard in the rehearsal room not far away.

"Idol of the Times" is popular all over Asia. In addition to the novelty of the program and the fact that the contestants are all pretty boys, the contestants' own abilities are also indispensable.

It is no exaggeration to say that these guys are definitely among the best newcomers who have debuted in recent years.

As long as we are given a chance, we may not be able to cultivate one or two from them who can carry the box office.

Regarding this, Chen Qiming already had a plan.

He has arranged for the writing team of Pacific Entertainment Company to produce a script.

When the time comes, let all the contestants of "Idol of the Times" participate together.

There is something to say.

When it’s time to shear the wool, we must shear the wool.

Chen Qiming only has the right to use these people for three years. If he doesn't use them now and let them earn more for him, he will regret it later when he returns them to their respective companies.

It just so happens that the idols of the era are very popular right now, and each of these players has a large number of fans.

Bring them together to make a movie, even if the movie is bad, with their true fans, the investment will definitely be profitable.

"Judges, the recording of the show can begin. Look..."

Just when Chen Qiming was thinking about his future plans for the idol students of the times, a staff member trotted in.

The show is about to start recording.
