Chapter 82 At the Banquet

Clearwater Bay Peninsula, Shaw Brothers Studios.

At about 6:30 in the evening, the sunset began to sink. Lu Dongjie once again acted as a driver and bodyguard today, driving the female leader and three beauties here.

Tonight, Lu Dongjie and others are here to have a banquet on behalf of Jiayi TV. Today's dinner is hosted by Shao Yifu, the boss of Shaw Brothers Film Company. As for the reason, Lu Dongjie doesn't know the reason. Anyway, it's good to have some.

"Ajie, how are you finishing the theme songs for our new dramas "Eye of the Sky" and "The Legend of the White-Haired Witch"?" Sun Yubiao and Lu Dongjie walked side by side and chatted inside.

"It's almost done. I should be able to finish it this week. I'll give you a demo in two days to try." Lu Dongjie smiled and nodded.

"Well, I can rest assured that you are doing the work." Sun Yubiao stroked the hair beside his ear and said casually, "Director He came over to discuss things a few days ago, and he even asked about your situation."

"What's going on?" Lu Dongjie's steps slowed down and he asked slightly unexpectedly.

"Well, I think he seems to have a bit of love for your talent. You must not be kidnapped." Sun Yu looked at Lu Dongjie with a pretty look and said jokingly.

"I'm not interested in working in a radio station." Lu Dongjie smiled and shook his head, changed the topic and continued: "How many episodes have you filmed for the new drama? Give me one or two episodes of the edited original film."

"Ha, I was worried just now that you would fail, so you don't have to show your loyalty so quickly, right?" Sun Yubiao smiled sweetly.

"I want to try a new method for the later soundtrack, which may take a little more time than before." Lu Dongjie nodded and explained the reason.

"Since you are so attentive, we can't hold you back. It should be soon. We will hold a press conference at the Furama Hotel in a few days. Do you want to come?" Sun Yubiao glanced at him.

"Forget it, Sister Biao, you are not harming me, are you? Don't interfere with me when it comes to taking over the guest role, otherwise I will be resented." Lu Dongjie waved his hand and shook his head.

"Well, you also know the heroine this time. I have a hunch that the topic of this reception will go astray. Those reporters must be chasing those boring questions again. After all, you are also a topical figure now. I

I still want to ask you to rescue me. At least the reporter will ask you relevant questions." Sun Yubiao smiled bitterly.

In the past few months, there have been too many news about celebrity marriages in the entertainment industry. First it was He Shouxin and Ou Jiahui, then it was Xie Xian and Zhen Zhen's turn. Qin Xianglin and Xiao Fangfang also announced their divorce a few days ago, which also made these

The reporter's heart for gossip was burning brightly.

"Sister Biao, you said that Boss Shao was so generous to invite people from three of our stations to have dinner today. It couldn't be the Hongmen Banquet, right?" Lu Dongjie looked at the TVB people in front who came earlier than them, turned his head and said with a smile.

"I guess it's a matter of loaning out actors. After all, both of us have this need. Anyway, it's a matter of mutual help, and now Shaw Brothers is also in a period of turmoil." Sun Yubiao's beautiful eyes flashed, with a slight expression on his face.

Said with a smile.

When Sun Yubiao said this, Lu Dongjie probably understood something, nodded and the two of them continued to move forward.

Shaw Brothers implemented a new rule this year, allowing its actors to make extra money on loan without affecting the production of Shaw Brothers films.

This method is very popular with actors, and there is no loss for the company itself.

Actors usually ask for salary increases and allowances when filming, but companies are usually unwilling to do so. Actors are loaned out, which increases their income without increasing the company's burden, which is equivalent to a disguised salary increase.

Actors loaned out by Shaw Brothers Company, in addition to completing eight Shaw Brothers plays a year, do not delay Shaw Brothers' plays. Some of them make seven or eight plays abroad in a year, such as Luo Li, Yue Hua, and Zong Hua.

Wait, I make millions a year while filming in Taiwan. I don’t know how many people are envious of me.

The reason why Shaw Brothers, which has always been domineering and domineering, is willing to lower its status is due to a lawsuit that is still making a fuss in the entertainment industry. Shaw Brothers' martial arts star Chen Guantai left Taiwan to develop his own film company due to contract issues.

Not willing to give up, Shaw Brothers filed a complaint against Chen Guantai in court and applied for injunctions in the courts in Xiangjiang and Baodao.

This injunction is very powerful for actors, because during the execution of the injunction, the person subject to execution cannot participate in any film and television productions. If a violation of the injunction is discovered, the enforcer can arrest and prosecute at any time, and even face lawsuits.

jail.

Chen Guantai's salary at Shaw Brothers is RMB 40,000 for a film, but the one he is filming outside now is RMB 300,000, which is equivalent to making seven films for Shaw Brothers. With such a huge disparity in remuneration, Chen Guantai

How could he be willing to make films for Shaw Brothers?

And now Chen Guantai has taken many film appointments outside. Although he has a restraining order, he can only film secretly. He will shoot here and there, shooting in different places, and he can only shoot in secret.

Shooting at night, you can neither publicize nor let people know about it, and you have to worry about being arrested at any time. This kind of filming is really uncomfortable.

However, news came from Taiwan a few days ago that the court in Taiwan has lifted the injunction against Chen Guantai. Although the breach of contract lawsuit has not yet ended, Chen Guantai's courage to stand up against Shaw Brothers' domineering style has already caused many

Other Shaw Brothers movie stars are ready to make a move.

Who was the instigator, and what happened next? As the rebel Jiahe organization is prospering, Shaw Brothers Company is showing some signs of decline. If Shaw Brothers Company continues to adopt this outdated and overbearing paternalistic style, it will continue to blindly treat

Pressuring your own actors will only push good actors towards their opponents.

It is precisely because of facing this embarrassing situation that Shaw Brothers opened the door for its own actors for the first time, allowing them to find more channels to make money. After all, it is better to open up channels than to block them.

Actors from Shaw Brothers Filming Company are usually paid higher than those filming in Shaw Brothers Film Company. So some people ask, why don’t you leave Shaw Brothers after your appointment? No other reason, because as a Shaw Brothers actor, your net worth will naturally be higher. Some people make appointments.

Even though I'm mature, I still consider myself a Shaw Brothers actor, that's why.

Shaw Brothers Film Company is still the brightest star in the crown of Chinese films. Joining Shaw Brothers will enjoy the aura it brings. Being able to become an actor of Shaw Brothers is indeed the dream of many actors.

However, with the rapid development of the film market in recent years, more and more independent film companies have been established, and Shaw Brothers has also encountered a situation of a tiger fending off a pack of wolves, not to mention that there is a movie studio next to it.

He was just a wolf with white eyes.
