chapter two hundred and thirty.

Chapter 230. Star chaos

By the way, after the reporter finished these interviews, Entertainment Weekly immediately drafted a commentary manuscript, with the title------The flash-breaking "Exaggeration", and there is no newcomer in the music industry who has made new works!

Subtitle: The big waves in the music industry are scrubbing the sand. If there is no new work, it means death!

"Through this period of interviews, for many HK fans who like the song "Exaggeration", disappointment is their biggest feature. After a week of torture, I originally thought that Chen Xiaotang would take advantage of the popularity of "Exaggeration", but everyone was happy because there was no word on the TVB to be sure, and Chen Xiaotang avoided it. What does this attitude mean? Perhaps this song "Exaggeration" is just a divine song left behind in the world, and was picked up by Chen Xiaotang..."

"A song is so popular that it is endless in the music industry. We never question the difficulty of a newcomer in the music industry to make a fortune, but we never question the possibility of a flash in the pan. Today, Chen Xiaotang may be a meteor in the music industry in many eyes. A week ago, it was very dazzling and flickering, and it can even be said to be full of light------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

As soon as this report from Entertainment Weekly magazine was published, it immediately caused an uproar in the entire HK music scene.

First of all, some of Chen Xiaotang's fans protested against such irresponsible remarks and speculations. In their hearts, Chen Xiaotang's charm in singing "Exaggeration" has long been deeply imprinted. The unruly and charm made them unable to extricate themselves. They longed for Chen Xiaotang to stand up and scold these irresponsible remarks at this time, proving that Chen Xiaotang is definitely not a short-lived singer. He has skills and strength!

Secondly, there are some friends who have a good relationship with Chen Xiaotang, such as Liu Dehua, Liang Chaowei, Zhou Xingchi and others. They are very angry and anxious. They are angry about these gossip remarks aimlessly and talk nonsense. They are anxious about Chen Xiaotang's tolerance and sit firmly on Diaoyutai. Especially Zhou Xingchi, who is the most 80th century, is even more angry about this matter.

"What a shit layman grew up eating shit? What's the flashback of his uncle? I think he's so full that he deserves a beating! Has he seen the flashback of the celestial cereal? I guess he's only seen smallpox, mohua, and broccoli in his life!" Zhou Xingchi became more and more angry as he spoke, and directly pulled Liang Chaowei and said, "Let's go, let's find a hornet's nest to throw it away at his house. It's a big deal!" If it weren't for the dissuasion of Liu Dehua and others, this Indian star would have really gone.

Finally, some of the upstarts in the entertainment industry who had already disliked Chen Xiaotang and were jealous of him becoming famous, cheered and inspired. Look, hurry up and see, what does it mean to climb high and fall hard? What does it mean to wear a hat? Do you really think that Chen Xiaotang is a god-like man and can sing such a natural song. Now he is a meteor, and his momentary glory does not mean eternity!

Among them, Tang Zhenye, who was squeezed by Chen Xiaotang, was most happy and encouraged. During these days, he watched Chen Xiaotang's popularity continue to rise, so he drank to drown his sorrows and had to go to the nightclub to go to the dance hall to get drunk. The original popular young man had a shaved beard, but when he was put on the street, people thought he was the strange uncle in the comics. Now he was cheered up and excited, so he would go to the dance hall to the bar to celebrate. Everyone drinks whatever they want, and I will pay for it! In short, as long as Chen Xiaotang is unlucky, he will be happy!

In addition to these, the music masters who were originally optimistic about Chen Xiaotang also had different attitudes and opinions.

The music kings Tan Yonglin and Zhang Guirong who have been fighting all the time actually have the same views. They think Chen Xiaotang will never be as simple as everyone seems. He must have a trick, and he may not be able to surpass "Exaggeration" in the future.

"Song Saint" Riben expressed sighs and regrets. For him, Chen Xiaotang's singing skills are worthy of recognition, but the mountains like him that were established at once were too high, and it would be difficult to raise them again.

Mei Yanfang, who was traveling far away on Baodao, also expressed her own opinions, but her opinion was that I am not familiar with Mr. Chen Xiaotang and would not comment. However, his "Exaggeration" is really good, and I will cover his song on the tour.

Finally, it was the "God of Songs" Xu Guanjie. Old Xu took the lead, so he said a shocking sentence: "This time I will open the Red Hall concert. I hope Mr. Chen Xiaotang can be invited to attend, and I hope he can be a guest to entertain a song!"

What's the meaning?!

The God of Songs wants to invite Chen Xiaotang to sing?!

Can you listen to Chen Xiaotang's voice again at the Red Hall concert?!

Suddenly, everyone understood that the "God of Songs" was sharp enough. Just this move could help you figure out Chen Xiaotang's background!

But will Chen Xiaotang take the stage?!

Supporters: Yes, he will definitely do it. He wants to recreate the style of "Exaggeration"! It is full of charm and unparalleled!

Opponent: What will happen? At most, sing "Exaggeration" and spend your money, otherwise you will be embarrassed! In short, it is a monster that appears and everyone is looking forward to it!

....

The entire music industry was full of trouble and discussion. At the same time, as the party involved in this "public opinion storm", Chen Xiaotang was sitting in the office of the president of the TVB station like nothing was wrong.

This time, it was not Shao Daheng who met him alone. There were Fang Yihua, Wang Tianlin and Xiao Sheng in the room.

Under the gaze of the three senior executives, Chen Xiaotang was not nervous, but just looked at Daheng Shao's expression.

Daheng Shao carefully looked through the script, especially for the modified parts of Chen Xiaotang, he even read them again and again.

Time is gradually passing by.

The atmosphere in the room was very strange. Fang Yihua, Wang Tianlin, and Xiao Sheng whispered this. Shao Daheng was reading the script carefully, and Chen Xiaotang sat upright, waiting for a question like an interview student.

After a moment, Shao Daheng closed the script and said, "It's very well written!"

With just these four words, Chen Xiaotang already knew that it was definitely a foregone conclusion to start filming this movie.

Sure enough, Daheng Shao handed the script to Wang Tianlin and the other three and said, "You can see first, how is the filming of this drama?"

Then he turned around and asked Chen Xiaotang, "This drama can start filming. As for your pay... I will temporarily position it for 500,000 yuan. After this drama is released, if the box office is good, I will give you dividends. How about it?"

Fee of 500,000?!

No wonder people say that Uncle Six is ​​so stingy that he lost Bruce Lee. Not to mention anything else, but now with Chen Xiaotang's popularity, even if he gets a full 600,000 yuan in a movie, otherwise why would Shao Daheng sign a three-year contract with him for three million before? However, Shao Daheng didn't say anything. Isn't there any movie dividends? When the box office is good, I will give it more, and it sounds like he will be very kind.

Chen Xiaotang doesn't care about these things with him. Although he also likes money and needs money very much, in his opinion, these things are proportional to his popularity. As long as he is willing to work hard, he is afraid that the salary will not increase in the future?!

"Thank you, Uncle Six, I am very satisfied with the 500,000 yuan pay." Chen Xiaotang said a little against his conscience, "But I hope I can invest these pays in this drama."

"Invest in this drama?" Shao Daheng was stunned. Five hundred thousand was a drizzle for him. However, a newcomer dared to be so bold and directly took out his own pay to invest. This surprised him. If Chen Xiaotang was a big name like Cheng Long and Zheng Shaoqiu, Shao Daheng could understand it. After all, he was not short of this little money. However, he knew Chen Xiaotang's background. In order to sign a long contract with him, he had already checked his ancestors for eight generations. The family of four lived in a small house. Although life was not too difficult, he was not rich. But such a newcomer dared... Five hundred thousand was enough to buy a decent villa!

"Have you considered this clearly?" Shao Daheng couldn't help but remind.

"Well, think clearly, just do it this way. My pay is considered an investment!" Chen Xiaotang made a decisive move. In his opinion, this was like a bet. Whether his 500,000 yuan could be converted depends on whether the play can be sold as much as he guessed. Of course, if it is as popular as he did in his previous life, he would lose a lot, and he could even be in vain and have nothing.

"Since that's the case, I'll agree to you---- Director Fang, please write down Atang's salary as investment funds." Looking back, Daheng Shao looked at Chen Xiaotang again, "Okay, let's get back to the point. Do you have anything else to say about this drama?"

Chen Xiaotang said: "Yes, I want to recommend someone to the director of this drama!"

Daheng Shao couldn't help but be stunned because he had originally planned to let two veterans, Wang Tianlin or Xiao Sheng, directed them.

"Who do you recommend?"

"Director----Wang Jing!" Chen Xiaotang said confidently.

This time, Daheng Shao was stunned, even Wang Tianlin was stunned.

Daheng Shao turned around and looked at Wang Tianlin and said, "I remember well, is that director Wang Jing your son right?"

Wang Tianlin: "Yes, it's my family's decline."

"How is he filming?"

"This------" Wang Tianlin really felt that this question was difficult to answer, so he said, "There are some young talents in the dog, you can ask Director Xiao Sheng for details." With a good move, he pushed the grinding and threw the question directly to Xiao Sheng. Xiao Sheng had close contact with him and would never say anything bad.

Xiao Sheng couldn't help but cough and said to himself, "Old guy, you are really shirkable. You must treat me tonight when you go to Tuen Mun to eat fried fruit!"

"Well, if I remember well, our Shaw Brothers company has asked him to film several dramas, which are remarkable in terms of box office and reputation, especially in terms of shooting speed, which is even more amazing, which greatly saves time!"

Wang Tianlin couldn't help but roll his eyes. This old man Xiao is really good at judging the Sixth Uncle's thoughts!

You know, if you simply praise Wang Jing for his good box office and good reputation, that's nothing, because many young directors can do this. Now it is HK films that have entered a golden decade under the guidance of the "New Wave". Big directors and good directors emerge one after another. Younger directors such as Er Dongsheng, Du Qifeng, Wang Jiawei, and Liu Zhenwei have also begun to emerge.

But the filming speed is different.

You should know that when the filming speed is fast, it is equivalent to indirectly reducing costs, and being able to be released as quickly as possible to quickly recover funds. In Shao Daheng's view, this is more important than any talent.

In addition, for decades in the film industry, Shao Daheng has basically won with other film companies by "fast action". For example, when Li's TV "The Legend of Silkworm" became popular, Shao Daheng made a finale in the movie version in four or five days, and the box office was sold out. Therefore, "fast speed" filming has always been an advantage that Shao Daheng is proud of.

Sure enough, this trick is very considerate to Daheng Shao’s thoughts.

"Since that's the case, let him try it. When we get old, we should give young people more opportunities!"

After hearing what Shao Daheng said, Wang Tianlin was extremely happy and couldn't help but smile with a grateful smile at Chen Xiaotang.

Chen Xiaotang said to himself, don’t be grateful to me, I recommend your son because he originally made this drama.

Now that the director candidate has been decided, the next step is to select actors. Needless to say, Zhang Wuji must be Chen Xiaotang himself to play. As for the other main roles, Zhou Zhiruo and Xiao Zhao have caused these senior executives to have a headache. After all, there are many TVB actresses now, Weng Meiling, Qi Meizhen, Zeng Xiaqian, Lan Jieying, Liu Jialing, etc. are not easy-to-efficient. But the problem is, who can act well now, can not only bring the company the greatest benefits.

But what surprised them was that Chen Xiaotang stood up again at this time and said, "Uncle Six, why not consider it and start the newcomer!"

"Enable newcomers?" Shao Daheng couldn't help but be stunned, "This kind of risk is too great. We are shooting movies, not TV series!"

"Because of this, I suggest using newcomers..."

"Oh, why?" Shao Daheng was confused by some of the authorities.

At this time, Wang Tianlin, Xiao Sheng and Fang Yihua had already understood. Fang Yihua and Shao Daheng were closest and smiled and said, "Atang means that our TVB actresses are all famous for TV series. Now that we want to shoot movies, we must consider the audience's viewing habits. For example, Weng Meiling has been customized to "Beautiful Huang Rong" by everyone, and Lan Jieying has also been customized to "Lin Chaoying". If they are asked to star in this movie rashly, many viewers will be unable to come back for a while. Instead of doing this, we might as well select newcomers to act in this drama. After all, they are as easy as white paper and are easy to train. In addition, we can also cultivate more female stars through this drama, so why not kill two birds with one stone!"

"Yes, we also think Director Fang is right. Now our wireless training class has found a group of newcomers, especially a few outstanding girls. It is better to give them a chance and let them give it a try. If it succeeds, it is good. Even if it fails, it will not lose much to the TV station. The most important thing is not to let the audience have preconceived ideas, so that they can give everyone a sense of curiosity and freshness!" Wang Tianlin and Xiao Sheng said.

Daheng Shao understood that at first he thought from the perspective of an investor decision-maker, but ignored the audience's perspective.

"Although you said something, these girls have not graduated from the training class, let alone popularity. How can they attract those audiences to go to the theater to watch the show?"

"This... I think since Atang can make this suggestion, there must be a solution." Wang Tianlin thought about it and said.

Daheng Shao looked at Chen Xiaotang, "Is this really the case?"

Chen Xiaotang smiled, "Actually, my solution is very simple, that is, find a guest star in a big-name star!"

Daheng Shao's eyes lit up. Celebrities made a guest appearance?! Not bad. As long as they can invite some big stars to join this film, even if they show their faces alone, they will definitely attract many viewers.

In fact, it is not new to movies that invite big-name guest appearances in HK. However, today's HK movies are not as popular as in the previous life of "The Founding of the Country" and "The Founding of the Party", but they only make a symbolic "friendly guest appearance". To put it bluntly, it is through personal feelings that make you show your face in the play. After you have enjoyed the drama, I have face, that's all. I have not considered using these people to become popular movies.

But who is Shao Daheng? Chen Xiaotang woke him up with a word. Since he wanted to do big productions, he had to have big means. According to his face, Shao's face, inviting some big-name guest appearances in movies is simply a piece of cake.

Before Daheng Shao could come back to his senses, Chen Xiaotang's next words shocked him.

"Actually, I have invited Brother Hong Jinbao to play Zhang Sanfeng!"

With a loud bang, Daheng Shao felt a shock in his mind.

Why? Of course he knew who Hong Jinbao was. After Bruce Lee's death, the number one male star in Jiahe supported half of Jiahe's sky. Even Cheng Long, the current super brand of Jiahe, was also supported by Hong Jinbao to enter Jiahe.

In addition, he is also a versatile action superstar, from actors to directors and even film producers. At this time, he had already left Jiahe and opened his own film company and filmed a large number of action comedies, such as "Tiger Frog", "Fighting the Deadly Gun", "Ghost Fighting the Ghost", etc. In addition, he also launched comedies, such as "Fuxing Series" such as "Fuxing Stars". Many of these movies are among the top stars, and they often earn more than 10 million box offices, so action movies and comedies have become the most successful and popular movies in HK movies.

Although he is Shao Daheng hk film industry for so long, everyone wants to sell him three points of thin air, but Hong Jinbao can be defeated at all, nothing is it, just because he has never received any favors from him!

It can be said that in the hk film industry, Hong Jinbao's name is the "golden signboard", and sometimes it is even more effective than big names like Cheng Long and Xu Guanjie.

Daheng Shao was very curious about how Chen Xiaotang convinced Hong Jinbao to join this drama, but according to his identity, he was embarrassed to ask, so he smiled indifferently and said, "Okay, very good! Since that's the case, I won't say much, so I'll do it like this, Atang, you are the screenwriter of this drama and the starring actor, I will leave you with the choice of the heroine. You and the director Wang Jing will do it. If you have any questions, you don't need to ask me, and if you need money, Director Fang and others will cooperate with you------Remember, work hard and show me a good show!"

Daheng Shao actually gave power and asked Chen Xiaotang to take charge of the matter.

This made Fang Yihua and others shocked. After all, he was still very young. As the saying goes, he has no hair on his lips and cannot do things in a solid manner.

Chen Xiaotang didn't feel anything. After all, he had the overall content of the previous life in his mind. It would be better to leave it to himself than to leave it to others. After expressing his gratitude, Chen Xiaotang left happily.

Looking at his upright back, Daheng Shao suddenly said, "Isn't it a pity to let him be an actor?"

Wang Tianlin and others looked at each other, as if they had guessed something.
