The king of ghost horse comedy

Chapter 208 Zhang Guorong
The accumulated wealth exceeds one billion Hong Kong dollars; the film company under it beat the veteran film overlord Shaw Brothers completely; established a record company, manager company, performing arts school, acquired newspapers, established theaters, and built its own media empire .

And all of this only took more than two years, even in Hong Kong, which is full of legends, it can still be called a miracle.

"Unexpectedly, that weird-looking person is so amazing." Zhang Guorong thought in surprise.

"Shaodong, didn't that person give you a business card just now? In my opinion, he must have found you handsome and wanted to make you a big star." A shop assistant said with a smile.

"That's right, didn't Dillon work as a tailor at the Peninsula Hotel back then, and then he was recruited into Shaw Brothers by He Guanchang. Look at how popular it is now, a movie worth [-] Hong Kong dollars. Probably the most expensive star in Hong Kong " said one of the shop assistants enviously.

"Come on, the one with the highest salary is Cheng Long, whose salary has reached 20 Hong Kong dollars." Another clerk retorted, "Ti Lung has long been out of date."

"You're outdated, and you're still popular, okay? It's just that Boss Shao is too stingy." The clerk argued.

"Both of you are wrong. The highest paid ones are obviously brothers Xu Guanwen and Xu Guanjie. The salary is estimated to be over one million." Another person pretended to understand.

"He's a big boss. If you're willing to give yourself 1000 million, you can do it. There's no comparison at all." Everyone laughed together.

"Shaodong, why don't you give it a try? I listen to your singing every day, and it's not bad. Maybe you can try it." A clerk suggested.

"It's not bad, don't talk nonsense if you don't know English songs. From my point of view, Shaodong's singing is very good." One person said, "Shaodong, try it. You also know that after the boss had a stroke, , Our store is becoming more and more difficult to support, and it may close down one day. You have to find a way out for yourself first."

"That's right, since the big boss likes you, it's good to give it a try. If it works, you can support a family if you make money. If it doesn't work, it's not too late to find another way." Others also persuaded road.

After hearing this, Zhang Guorong couldn't help but feel a little moved.

To be honest, the business in the store is getting worse and worse. After his father's illness, the garment factory is in difficulty, and there are fewer and fewer regular customers. Can't bear it.

Although he was not very close to his parents because he was fostered at his grandmother's house since he was a child, but blood is thicker than water, and it makes no sense to see his family's life in trouble.How can he support the whole family with his own strength?
"Could this be a chance God gave me?" Zhang Guorong turned out the business card in his pocket and murmured.

……

Xu Guanwu went home with his wife and third brother.In the car, Xu Guanying looked at Xu Guanwu several times, hesitant to speak.

"What are you doing? Say something if you have something to say." Xu Guanwu said.

"Second brother, are you going to sign that pretty guy just now?" Xu Guanying said with a smile.

"Yes, what do you think?" Xu Guanwu nodded.

"Not bad, quite handsome." Xu Guanying nodded, "I just don't know if he has the talent for acting."

"There must be." Xu Guanwu said with a smile, "When did your second brother lose my vision?"

"That's right." Xu Guanying nodded.

……

Accompanying Xu Guanying back home, Xu Guanwu and his wife Zhao Yazhi taught Xu Guanying the essentials of being on the show.

Although Xu Guanwu has never been on TV or done a variety show, he has never eaten pork and has seen pigs run. He watched a lot of variety shows before, but now he talks about it in a set way, which makes Xu Guanying's eyes straight shine.

Zhao Yazhi also reminded him to pay attention to the place when he was on the show, don't be nervous, don't show timidity, and don't rush for words.

Xu Guanying remembered everything in his heart, and he kept talking about it while eating.

Originally, Xu Guanwu wanted to accompany Xu Guanying and go to TVB to participate in the program at night, but he received a call in the afternoon, saying that a young man from the company came to see him.

As soon as Xu Guanwu heard the secretary's description, he knew that Zhang Guorong was here, so he quickly threw the phone and ran out.

"Second brother, why is it so urgent?" Xu Guanying asked suspiciously.

"I'm going to the company, I have something to deal with." Xu Guanwu said in a hurry.

"Then you won't accompany me on the show?" Xu Guanying shouted worriedly.

"Don't worry, since the second brother has promised you, naturally he won't break his promise. I will definitely be there at night." Xu Guanwu turned around and shouted, called the bodyguards and went straight to the company.

When I went to the superstar manager company, I found that Zhang Guorong was sitting there obediently waiting.Perhaps because of the handsome boy, the female employees of the company would glance at her from time to time.

"Haha, young man, you're here." Xu Guanwu smiled.

"Mr. Xu, hello." Zhang Guorong stood up quickly and greeted him a little stiffly.

"Well, come in with me." Xu Guanwu nodded and let Zhang Guorong in, "Are you going to enter the entertainment circle?"

"Yes, I want to give myself a chance." Zhang Guorong nodded.

"Okay, I have an idea." Xu Guanwu said with a smile, "but you have to think about it, working hard in the entertainment industry is not an easy matter. People who are popular are tabooed by others, and people who are not popular are trampled on. Gossip, gossip, what to say There are. No matter what happens, you have to hold back your breath."

"I can do it." Zhang Guorong thought for a while and said in a low voice.

"Okay, since you've already made up your mind, let's sign the contract." Xu Guanwu nodded and said.

"Don't you need to investigate anything?" Zhang Guorong asked suspiciously.

"Investigate what?" Xu Guanwu asked suspiciously.

Zhang Guorong couldn't help being embarrassed for a while, he thought that at least he had to sing a song, or perform a scene, to show his talent, in order to be appreciated by others.

But he didn't expect that after just saying a few words, he had already been admitted. To be honest, it was beyond his expectation that it went so smoothly.

The secretary then brought the contract over.

The superstar manager company contract originally did not divide into first, second and third grades, but now that the number of artists under the company is increasing day by day, each other's contributions and gains are distributed in the same way, which will inevitably lead to some people's dissatisfaction.

Therefore, the contract has also been divided into several grades. For first-class artists, the company arranges assistants to accompany them, responsible for handling all matters, even taking care of private life, and the salary, benefits and bonuses are the most; second-class artists, only arrange with managers , responsible for handling all work matters, private life requires self-restraint; the next-level artist even has to share the manager with others, and the salary, benefits and bonuses are very small.

The secretary knew that Zhang Guorong was still a rookie, so without asking, he directly took the third-class artist's contract.

Xu Guanwu opened it and frowned, "Go get the B-level contract."

"B-level?!" The secretary couldn't help being stunned for a moment, looked at Zhang Guorong in surprise, turned and walked out.

After a while, another contract was taken over.

"Look at this contract, if it is suitable, sign it." Xu Guanwu smiled.

Zhang Guorong took it over and took a look, and saw that the contract was very formal, in quadruplicate, in both English and Chinese, so as to prevent someone from using grammatical loopholes to overturn the contract in the future.

Seeing these four contracts, Zhang Guorong felt a lot more at ease. A company that can make such a formal contract must also operate very formally, which can reduce many, many troubles.

Afterwards, Zhang Guorong read the contract carefully, both the English version and the traditional Chinese version, and of course he was very satisfied with the contract.

The salary is high, the benefits are good, and a broker is arranged. For newcomers, this is almost the most perfect contract.

After Zhang Guorong read it, he still suspected that he had read it wrong, so he read it over and over several times, and after making sure that he read it correctly, he put the contract back on the table.

"How is it? Is there any dissatisfaction with the contract?" Xu Guanwu asked with a smile.

Zhang Guorong shook his head, "No more, the terms of the contract are very good, I never thought that there would be such good terms."

Xu Guanwu smiled, "Since you have no objection, then sign it."

"Wait, I want to ask again," Zhang Guorong suddenly reached out to stop him, "Mr. Xu, why did you sign me and offer me such a good condition?"

He wanted to ask this question when he first came to the company. Xu Guanwu had never seen himself act or heard himself sing. Could it be that he only wanted to make himself famous because of his good looks?No matter how you think about it, this reason is not valid.

There are plenty of pretty boys in the world, but how many red stars can there be?It is true that a popular movie star is a handsome boy, but a handsome boy may not necessarily be a red star.Zhang Guorong didn't believe that he could sweep Xiangjiang with a handsome face.

"I just fancy you have potential, is that enough reason?" Xu Guanwu smiled.

"However, what if I cause the company to lose money?" Zhang Guorong said worriedly.

This is indeed a good job, and I really want to make this money, but if the danger is at stake and I am kicked away at any time, Zhang Guorong will be a little worried.

"Losing money is my business. You may not know it. I have become a habit of losing money." Xu Guanwu smiled, seeing Zhang Guorong's disbelieving expression, he pointed to the "Daily Daily" on the table, "This The newspaper only made a profit this year, but last year it lost tens of thousands of dollars a day, so I haven’t persisted.”

Zhang Guorong's eyes widened in surprise, he lost tens of thousands a day, how much did he lose in a month, and how much in a year?As expected of a Hong Kong film tycoon, his actions are extravagant.

"Okay, you don't have to worry about losing money or making money, these companies will handle it. Come on, sign the contract." Xu Guanwu waved his hand.

Zhang Guorong nodded, and then signed his name on all four contracts.

"Well, your name is Zhang Fazong?" Xu Guanwu asked suspiciously.

"Yes." Zhang Guorong nodded.

"This name is not very good." Xu Guanwu shook his head and said.

Zhang Guorong couldn't help feeling embarrassed, and Xu Guanwu continued, "Fa Zong, Fa Zong, it sounds like 'fa Zong', which is neither auspicious nor loud."

Zhang Guorong became more and more depressed after hearing this, so Xu Guanwu continued, "Well, how about I change your name for you?"

"Okay." Zhang Guorong thought to himself that he had already signed the contract, and his whole body was sold to others. Naturally, what they said was what they said.No wonder the boss reminded himself that the entertainment industry is not easy to mess with just now, and he really hit the mark, so he asked him to change his name as soon as it came up.

Although Zhang Fazong's name is a bit rustic and not loud enough, it has been with him for more than ten years, and he already has feelings for him, so he changed it now.

"Since you have no objection, let me name you Guorong, okay?" Xu Guanwu asked with a smile.

"Zhang Guorong, Zhang Guorong..." Zhang Guorong said it softly several times, feeling that this name is indeed better than Zhang Fazong, and has a better meaning, so he couldn't help but nodded, "This name is good, thank you boss."

"It's fine if you like it. That's fine. Now that we've joined the company, everyone is a family. You can speak more politely in the future. You can call me Stanley in English. If you're not used to it, you can also call me Boss Xu." Xu Guanwu said with a smile .

"Then I'll call Stanley." Zhang Guorong felt a little more relaxed after hearing what Xu Guanwu said.

"Do you have an English name?" Xu Guanwu asked again.

"My family used to call me Bobby." Zhang Guorong said with embarrassment. This English name was given by his family when he was a child. It sounds a little like a child, not stable enough.

"Well, this English name is not very good, let's change it." Xu Guanwu shook his head and said.

In fact, Xu Guanwu's own English name is not very good, Stanley, Stanley, it seems that this is the name of a fertilizer in his previous life.
