​​

He Qing and Liu Jialing have known each other for less than a month, but their relationship is already as good as sister Tao who grew up together. Could it be that the two really hit it off? Of course not!

​​

Perhaps for He Qing, when he first arrived in a strange city, he knew a peer from the mainland, and he could easily accept him as his true friend. One of them is from Zhejiang Province and the other is from Jiangsu Province.

​​

But for Liu Jialing, the reason why she is willing to get along with He Qing is because of some purpose and utilitarian color. Having lived in Hong Kong for three or four years, she is well aware that it is not easy for new immigrants from mainland China to live in this city.

​​

Liu Jialing's father, an overseas Chinese in Thailand, fled back to China in the 1950s because his family encountered resistance from the Thai authorities. Liu's father met and fell in love with Liu's mother when he was working in Suzhou-zhou later.

​​

But during the ten years of turmoil, Liu's father was persecuted because of his overseas Chinese status. Liu Jialing's family was also in a dilemma because of her father's involvement. In the end, Liu's father had to choose to avoid disasters in Hong Kong alone. After the domestic policy was liberalized in 1980, he brought the whole family to Hong Kong to reunite.

​​

But the Liu family's life in Hong Kong is not rich. Liu's father is just a low-level bank clerk. The meager salary supports the whole family's expenses. After Liu Jialing came to Hong Kong, she had no academic qualifications and professional skills, and she could not speak Cantonese well. It was very difficult to find a good job.

​​

Liu Jialing's biggest reliance is her fresh and beautiful appearance, which is like an unmined gold mine. And she herself is very interested in acting, so she decided to apply for ATV's artist training class.

​​

The reason why she chose to go to ATV's training class instead of tvb's training class actually has a lot to do with Li Xuan. Not speaking Cantonese is very ostracized in Hong Kong society, but it is an exception in the Oriental Group.

​​

Li Xuan not only strictly forbids discrimination based on language and region within the company. Instead, everyone is encouraged to learn Cantonese and Mandarin at the same time. Since the big boss has set the tone, the following people naturally dare not sing the opposite.

​​

If you are applying for TVB's artist training class, if you can't speak Cantonese well, you will basically be sentenced to death. However, as Li Xuan's industry, ATV Group must naturally be consistent with the concept of the big boss. In the selection criteria of ATV's artist training class, there is no special requirement for Cantonese. However, if students are not good in Cantonese after admission, they need to take an additional language intensive course.

​​

Therefore, Jialing Liu, who is full of star vision, with her beautiful appearance, was successfully admitted to the 1983 ATV artist training class and started her acting dream. Hard life always makes people grow faster. Carina Lau seems to be a natural communicator.

​​

Not only did she get along with some of the best girls in the same period, she also started to actively build her own network outside of the training class. Getting to know Sister Fen is a very self-satisfied move for Liu Jialing.

​​

As the entertainment industry in Hong Kong becomes more and more mature, the role of brokers has gradually become prominent. The model of going all over the world alone is no longer suitable for the actual situation of this circle. The Asian brokerage company has become the largest and most powerful brokerage company in Hong Kong after just a few years of development. More than half of Hong Kong's actors, directors, screenwriters, photographers and other talents on stage and behind the scenes are under his command.

​​

Jialing Liu knows very well that it is difficult to make those gold medal agents bet heavily on her just because of her beauty, because the entertainment industry has never lacked handsome men and beautiful women. Therefore, Liu Jialing set the goal of making friends at the beginning, and put it on the agent like Sister Fen who has a good network in the company, but has just started to lead artists independently.

​​

Because these brokers want to be in the company. There must be one or two popular stars. It is by no means easy to be a star, and those lucky ones who have become popular just by chance are very few.

​​

The road to fame of most artists still depends on the management company investing a lot of resources to support them step by step. And within Asian brokerages. If you want to be eligible to be praised, you must get at least a B-level contract.

​​

Because only from the B-level contract, the Asian brokerage company will equip the artist with an exclusive agent, and will help the artist to formulate a complete plan for the future acting career. From setting the public image, to obtaining various film appointments and advertising endorsements, to contacting the media for exposure, the company will invest a lot of resources according to the performance of each artist!

​​

Liu Jialing and He Qing spent an afternoon in Causeway Bay. There are actually not many clothes to start with. The fun of a woman's shopping lies in shopping rather than buying, not to mention that the current economic situation of the two is actually not good.

​​

He Qing just arrived in Hong Kong, and the money she brought with her was less than 1,000 Hong Kong dollars. After she completed the contract, the company specially gave her HKD 5,000 in advance as her living expenses in the near future. This alone makes Jialing Liu secretly envious. You must know that the company opens its doors to make money, not to do charity.

​​

The Oriental Brokerage Company has a very strict financial system and never owes everyone a salary. But there are also very few salary advances. Therefore, after Liu Jialing found out the news from He Qing, she was stunned for a while.

​​

Liu Jialing's economic situation is also not good. She relied on bank loans for the tuition fees of ATV's artist training class. In addition to class, she also found a part-time job outside, and she would go to the ATV studio to play tricks on weekends. Coupled with some money from my father every month, I can barely make my life less stressful.

​​

If it wasn't for Liu Jialing's recommendation from Sister Fen before this summer vacation. She played a small role in two consecutive films, earning five or six thousand yuan in income. She really didn't have the confidence to come to Causeway Bay to buy clothes.

​​

He Qing and Carina Lau went shopping for an afternoon and got a little tired, so they walked into a cafe on the corner to rest for a while.

​​

"Is our brokerage company as good as you said? It feels like a fragrant bun that everyone is fighting for!" He Qing listened to Liu Jialing's introduction to the various advantages of Asian brokerage companies, and said with some disbelief .

​​

"Don't be in the middle of the blessing and don't know if it's good or not!" Liu Jialing gave her a sullen look, "The contract you signed can also be called a C-level contract. If you let other people who signed a C-level contract know, you will be depressed to death. How can the gap between people be so big!

​​

The company provides accommodation free of charge and is equipped with an exclusive agent, just to arrange a life assistant for you. It is the standard B-level contract configuration, okay? And even if it is a B-level artist, I have never heard of a big bowl who can advance a salary from the company! "

​​

He Qing was speechless and drank coffee silently. Ever since she met Li Xuan at He Qing's house, Jialing Liu had a sudden realization. She worked hard to befriend He Qing in order to complete the task given by Sister Fen and leave a good impression in people's hearts. But now, Liu Jialing's emphasis on He Qing is completely different. She must hold on to this friend firmly to have a chance to get close to Li Sheng!

​​

Exactly. Liu Jialing's goal is Li Xuan! That's Hong Kong's richest man, "God of Wealth Li". If she can capture this man's heart, why would she need to work so hard to film, I'm afraid she can live without food and clothing in this life!

​​

Jialing Liu's difficult childhood made her have a special desire for wealthy families. So in another time and space, she always had illusions about Xu Jianheng and staged a three-year forced marriage farce. After failing to marry into the Xu family, the financial tycoons and tycoons who have had scandals with Liu Jialing can't even count on one hand!

​​

Liu Jialing found that He Qing was a little silent, and guessed that she did not seem to be willing to mention her relationship with Li Sheng. So she brought the topic back to the brokerage company. He chuckled and said, "Do you know why an Asian brokerage company can become the largest brokerage company in Hong Kong in just a few short years?

​​

in the field of film. Both Golden Harvest and Xinyicheng can keep pace with the Asian film industry. In the field of television, although tvb is overwhelmed by Asian Satellite TV, the actual background is not inferior.

​​

Especially after Uncle Shao plans to close down the loss-making Shaw Brothers and focus on running TVB, if TVB can absorb all the talents in front and behind the scenes from Shaw Brothers, it is fully capable of competing with Asian brokerage companies.

​​

But tvb imitates the independent brokerage company established by ATV, but it does not have the momentum of the Asian brokerage company! On the contrary, the talents inside TVB continue to be lost to Asian brokerage companies! "

​​

"Alas. Don't be a fool, just tell me the reason!" He Qing put down the coffee in his hand and said with a smile. In fact, she also very much hopes to know some insider stories of Hong Kong's film and television industry, so that she can better integrate into this circle.

​​

"Hey, what are you anxious about, I always have to make it clear! On the one hand, our company is completely different from the sub-brokerage company established by TVB. They are changing the soup instead of the medicine, but they are just the TVB artist department. Some old systems have been given a facelift!

​​

But our company is different. We hired senior managers from Hollywood as consultants and designed a set that is in line with the development trend of the modern entertainment industry. Combined with the local artist management system in Hong Kong! "Liu Jialing took a sip of coffee and said slowly.

​​

Because of his summer vacation, he took up two small supporting roles in movies. So I also signed a C-level contract with an Asian brokerage. Asian brokerages are lax on c-class contracts but also offer limited resources. Carina Lau has always hoped to sign a B-level contract with an Asian brokerage company when she graduates next year.

​​

"You speak like the boss of a company. Your words are so professional and official!" He Qing put his chin on his hand and joked softly.

​​

"Well, the real reason is because the boss of our company is 'God of Wealth Li', a living legend! Others saw him from a distance, they had already taken the initiative to retreat and lost their ambition to compete together!" Liu Jialing changed the topic , and then looked at He Qing's bright eyes with a half-smile.

​​

"Go on, I'm listening carefully!" He Qing seemed not to see Jialing Liu's meaningful eyes, and urged her to continue talking.

​​

"Our company's vice president Tan Guoji, you should have heard of it? He cultivated the 'Three Musketeers' a few years ago. Zhang Guorong, Chen Baiqiang, and Zhong Baoluo are all famous stars now! But Mr. Tan But in the end, he chose to close his brokerage company, and then joined our company!

​​

Don't look at Hong Kong as a world full of money and money. In fact, there are a lot of filthy dark sides hidden behind it! In "Three Musketeers", Zhang Guorong and Zhong Baoluo were originally from Asian Satellite TV. It's just that ATV did not make movies by itself before it was acquired by Li Sheng, so their movie appointments were signed by President Tan.

​​

But then Asia Films was merged into ATV Group, and a special brokerage subsidiary was established independently from the group. After the film economic contract between Zhang Guorong and Zhong Baoluo expires, they will definitely sign back to the Asian brokerage company.

​​

The 'Three Musketeers' not only have handsome appearances and outstanding talents, but also starred in several simple and fresh movies such as "Applause" and "Unemployed Students", which are widely welcomed by young groups, so the three of them quickly became popular. !

​​

But as the saying goes, there are a lot of celebrities right and wrong. In recent years, the Hong Kong film industry has been very prosperous, so a lot of money from clubs began to pour in. It is said that before Mr. Tan joined our company, he often received threatening letters with bullets, all of which came to invite Chen Baiqiang to make some bad movies! But Zhang Guorong and Zhong Baoluo rarely have such troubles. Do you know why? "

​​

He Qing cooperated and shook her head, waiting for Jialing Liu to continue telling the story.

​​

"Because the boss of our company is Li Sheng, a living legend! Although he is not in the rivers and lakes, there are legends about him in the rivers and lakes!" Jialing Liu said a little excitedly.

​​

"You look like a **** now! Do you want me to find an opportunity another day~www.readwn.com~ introduce you to the living legend, Your Excellency 'God of Fortune Li'!" He Qing stretched out his hand with a smile, shaking it in front of Liu Jialing shake.

​​

"Okay, you can't go back! Do you know how many girls in Hong Kong want to spend a romantic night with 'Fortune Li'?" Liu Jialing's eyes lit up, and she immediately smiled and grabbed the tender hand that He Qing stretched out in front of her. , said half-truth.

​​

"Uh!" He Qing didn't expect Liu Jialing to rely on herself, so she had no choice but to explain, "My relationship with Li Sheng is really ordinary, I don't even have his phone number, how can I help you? He's out!"

​​

Liu Jialing secretly observed He Qing's expression and felt that the other party did not seem to be cheating. But she was sure that Li Sheng must be interested in the little beauty in front of her. Otherwise, the world's richest man has a lot of money, why would he have time to come to see a little artist who met by chance!

​​

Liu Jialing looked at He Qing's pretty face and felt that she was not much inferior to the other party! It's a pity that Li Sheng left soon today, she didn't have a chance to say a few more words, and she didn't know if she could leave a little impression in Li Sheng's heart! (To be continued.)
