Chapter 214 "God of Songs" has an appointment
Chapter 214 "God of Songs" has an appointment (second update)
After finally finishing the recruitment work, I looked at my watch and it was already around five o'clock in the afternoon. "Sixth Aunt" Fang Yihua ordered lunch boxes for everyone, saying that in difficult times, we can only make up for it.Chen Xiaotang didn't care, but the fat man was a bit picky eater, staring at the lunch box in a daze, muttering: "There isn't even a piece of char siu in it, the TV station is too stingy!"
In fact, TVB's stinginess towards its employees stems from Shao Daheng's consistent principles of doing things.Daheng Shao made a lot of jokes about pennies and bahts: in the early years, he rejected a production manager’s application to buy 20 fried steamed buns for 100 yuan for the crew on the set, because the steamed buns sold in the company’s cafeteria were only 1 cents each.As a result, the staff on location went on strike because they did not have breakfast, and Shaw Brothers lost nearly 10 yuan for this—the only thing they saved was [-] yuan.
It is rumored that during the most glorious period of Shaw Brothers, Shao Daheng instructed his employees to cast a bronze statue for himself, which was to be placed in front of the gate of Shaw Brothers Film City. He was reminded that "usually only dead people erect bronze statues". Discard the finished bronze statue in the prop room.As the matter spread, some people who had opinions on Shao Daheng but were afraid to speak up came to the prop room and took his bronze statue to vent their anger.Someone once lamented that the bronze statue, which has never been beautiful, has endured countless fists and kicks from martial artists and spit from ladies.
Of course Fang Yihua understands that Fatty has something to say, but the principles and rules are set by Daheng Shao, even if he is the woman behind him, he can't break these principles and make a big table of delicious food for them.
After eating the boxed lunch, Fang Yihua took out a red envelope and handed it to Chen Xiaotang, "You take this red envelope!"
The fat man who was chanting sutras to the lunch box just now was surprised, "Sixth Aunt, you are wrong, why did you give out red envelopes before the Chinese New Year? Besides, even if you give out red envelopes, you should be fair. I think I should have one too!"
Fang Yihua smiled and said: "This is not a red envelope, it's the reward for Ah Tang's guest appearance in "Mountain Shu". The total is 8000 yuan. It's auspicious!"
A salary of eighty-eight thousand?
A 6-minute play, eighty-eight thousand? !
Chen Xiaotang suddenly felt that being a star is great!
Sell acting.It is simply a huge profit!
In the past, I was so busy that I only earned tens of thousands of yuan in salary, but now I only occasionally cameo in movies, and I got [-] red envelopes. No wonder people say that the HK entertainment industry is full of gold.As long as you can be popular, fame and fortune will come!
"Wow, it's so lucrative!" Fatty exclaimed drooling beside him, "The little prince in the film industry who is as handsome as me, who would be considered a loser if he didn't make a cameo in the entertainment industry, doesn't even have such good luck! Sixth aunt, there will be such a good thing in the future. You also take care of me, I promise, will I give you a kickback?!"
Fang Yihua couldn't laugh or cry, this fat man was so funny.
Ignoring the begging of the fat man, Fang Yihua handed over a bunch of keys to Chen Xiaotang.
Chen Xiaotang was startled, and said: "Director Fang. As I said, I have a place to live. Thank you for your kindness!"
"Hehe, this isn't that house. It's a motorcycle key." Fang Yihua laughed, "I heard that you take the bus to and from get off work every day, so how could it be possible? After all, you are also a celebrity, and you want to look like a celebrity. Let me give you a car, I was afraid you would refuse, so I decided to buy you a motorcycle! Go and see, do you like it?"
Chen Xiaotang was completely stunned, this Fang Yihua understood people's minds too well, and was too good at caring for others; if she really gave her a car, it would be the second thing that she would not drive it, the most important thing was that it was too expensive, so she would definitely not accept it , but motorcycles are different. If you refuse small items, you will be ungrateful and it will hurt face.
"Okay, let me see!" Chen Xiaotang laughed.
Hearing what Chen Xiaotang said, Fang Yihua was relieved, and added: "In the future, when there are no outsiders, you can call me "Aunt Six" just like Director Wang. Don't call me Director Fang, it's too ostentatious. .”
.........
Chen Xiaotang followed Fang Yihua outside, and saw a row of motorcycles not far away.
"It's the black one." Fang Yihua pointed to it.
"Oh," Chen Xiaotang walked over.
Is it this one?What a big men's straddle, Harley style, it seems too MAN to ride, and it also attracts attention. Chen Xiaotang glanced at the big motorcycle in front of him.
Just when Chen Xiaotang was muttering, Fang Yihua said in the distance: "It's not that one, it's the one in front!"
Chen Xiaotang was startled, and looked ahead, and immediately he was shocked by the motorcycle in front of him.
No way, the small racing car in the BMW car series-Black King Kong? !
In the past, Chen Xiaotang only knew that BMW produced cars, but did not know that this brand also produced motorcycles. Until Chen Xiaotang happened to watch a Korean movie "Express Delivery".In it, the male protagonist who is a motorcycle courier actually kills Mercedes-Benz on the street on a motorcycle. This scene is very shocking. In Chen Xiaotang's words, his uncle is really shocked--who is not convinced when the motorcycle is in power? !
In fact, this "Express Cry" is called the Korean version of "Taxi Express" and "Life and Death" by the Asian media.In pursuit of exciting visual effects, the Korean film crew chose a motorcycle with a displacement of 1000CC as the express tool for the protagonist in the film. The flying speed is amazing, but there are technical limitations in capturing these images.
In order to be able to keep up with the speed of the prop motorcycle, the Korean film crew chose a 1500cc motorcycle with a better displacement. However, how to install the camera during the fast march became a problem.Because South Korea does not have the equipment needed to adapt to this kind of shooting, the camera director of this film went to Los Angeles, USA, and brought back a mobile shooting probe dedicated to Hollywood blockbusters in the United States. It can actually record video data.Using this high-end shooting equipment, the movement speed range can reach 70km-200km. If the CG method is used for processing in the later stage, the speed of the picture can completely reach the 300km originally imagined by the crew.
It is precisely because Korean filmmakers are so dedicated and enthusiastic about filming that this film has become a huge success, not only in South Korea, but also in Asia.
But having said that, the strong rise of Korean films in the previous life is in stark contrast to the pathological weakness of Hong Kong films after their golden decade.The former "movie boy" is now known as a well-known film production area in Asia. On the contrary, Hong Kong, which has the reputation of "Oriental Hollywood", has a lot of bad movies, and there is a shortage of new and old actors.
With such a huge contrast, people can't help but ponder, ten years in Hedong and ten years in Hexi, where did Hong Kong movies fail? !Is it the system, or the consciousness of filmmakers? !
Looking back, let’s talk about this small BMW racing car——Black King Kong. From the appearance, it is almost similar to the BMW racing car in the previous life "Express Cry", but it is one size smaller, and it looks more refined and gorgeous. Seems to be suitable for co-ed riding.
Although Chen Xiaotang doesn't know how to drive, he still has some research on motorcycles. He has seen this BMW-type kart in many motorcycle magazines.It seems to be a custom model, and the value is even more expensive.
Chen Xiaotang couldn't help shaking his head, Aunt Six was too good at thinking about people's minds, even if she gave them a motorcycle, it was exactly what Chen Xiaotang liked.Chen Xiaotang doesn't know how to drive a car, nor is he very good at riding a motorcycle, but this style of motorcycle fits his personality just right.Delicate and elegant, poised and sharp, just like Chen Xiaotang himself.
"A Tang. Do you like it? Do you want to try it?" Fang Yihua smiled.
Chen Xiaotang had no choice but to say that he didn't like it, so he had to pretend to be very happy, thanked Fang Yihua again, then started the engine and turned around in a flash.Not to mention, this motorcycle looks petite and exquisite, but it is full of horsepower, and it really feels like it is riding fast.As a fake "Bendy Car God", I can be considered to have found a suitable means of transportation.
Seeing Fang Yihua give Chen Xiaotang a red envelope and a motorcycle, Fatty Wang Jing is jealous, he is also human, why is there such a big difference? !Don't you look handsome? !
Just when the fat man was complaining, someone called Chen Xiaotang over there: "Tang Zai, someone is looking for your phone number!"
So Chen Xiaotang greeted Fang Yihua and Fatty, went to the fundraising office, answered the phone, and it turned out to be the call from the famous "God of Songs" Xu Guanjie.
It turned out that the last time Xu Guanjie asked his friend Tan Yonglin to be a lobbyist and invited Chen Xiaotang to be a guest at his Red Hall concert, who knew that Chen Xiaotang rejected it outright.As the "God of Songs", Xu Guanjie didn't give up, and this time he even called to invite him himself.Of course, on the phone, he just said that he would invite Chen Xiaotang to drink tea in Tsim Sha Tsui at [-] o'clock tonight, and hoped that Chen Xiaotang would have the honor to come and have a gathering.
Chen Xiaotang didn't expect that people would take the initiative to find him, and it was considered to be enough face for him, so he immediately agreed to meet tonight.
For this legendary "God of Songs", what Chen Xiaotang knows the most is the few movies he made, one "Best Partner" series, which made him famous, and even surpassed Cheng Long at the same time, but it's a pity that he was late Insufficient, the film that ended up being acted in went from bad to worse.The better masterpieces include "Red Square Flying Dragon" and "Swordsman".
It wasn't until this era that Chen Xiaotang gradually felt Xu Guanjie's "greatness".It can be said that Xu Guanjie is the originator of the modern HK pop music scene. He is a musical genius, and his works can be received or released freely.The songs he composed and sang can be clearly divided into two categories: slang and elegant, especially the former is of great significance.These songs written in Cantonese vernacular laugh and curse, stand on the standpoint of ordinary people to praise and criticize current affairs, the language is humorous, and have been welcomed unprecedentedly. It can be said that Xu Guanjie is the greatest contributor to the creation of contemporary HK pop songs, and he is also the number one in this pop music scene. A superstar!
Many younger singers claim to have grown up in Ah SAM's singing and regard Ah SAM as their idol.Under the influence of Xu Guanjie, a large number of singers switched to singing Cantonese pop songs, and at the same time a group of rookies rose up, and the spring of the HK music scene is coming... He is the first person to release Cantonese records in HK, and the first to play and play by himself. The singer who sang, the first singer who wrote his own lyrics and music, the first singer who held a concert, and the first person who held a concert in the Red Hall!In a word, Xu Guanjie is the king of the HK music scene at this time!
Facing such an invitation from such an awesome person, Chen Xiaotang told himself that no matter what, he wanted to meet him!
