April 6th, downstairs of a certain Tangtang building in Kowloon Tong.

Ouyang Zhenhua was just walking home with a pile of food when he saw two people walking out of the road, both wearing hats and masks, "Ahua, are you alone at home?"

Just by hearing the voice, Ouyang Zhenhua knew who it was, Wu Zhenyu, and the other one was also quite familiar, Tao Dayu. These two were his old friends and associates for many years, including old classmates.

Ouyang Zhenhua smiled and showed the things in his hands, "Aru has gone to the set, why don't you come to my house for a drink?"

Ayu came over with a smile and patted Ouyang Zhenhua on the shoulder, "Good guy, I heard that in February you applied for a job as a waiter at Wanjia again? The newly opened Happy Valley branch?"

"You, a fat man, don't need that basic salary."

Tao Dayu also came over, looked at the burgers, fried chicken, beer and other things in Ahua's pocket, and exclaimed, "Pujie, if you eat like this, you will get a big belly sooner or later. Stop eating and drinking. I'm calling you."

Went to play ball."

Ouyang Zhenhua was a little confused, "I'm too tired from playing, should I go back and have something to eat and drink? That would be so comfortable."

After a pause, he said again, "After working for eight years, I finally understood that I am indeed not the material. Unlike you, when the opportunity comes, you can become popular as soon as you grasp it. I am waiting to join Wanjia one day.

Finally, I worked hard and made my goal to be a branch manager."

"You'll be able to stand out by then."

"It's famous for its good benefits and high remuneration. It's no worse than the CEOs of some large groups. Even if I don't join the circle anymore, you won't deny me as a friend, right?"

He is already 29 years old. He has been in the entertainment industry for an entire era and has yet to make his mark. He really feels that he can think ahead and change his career.

Lao Wu and Dayu looked at each other a little bit.

For a moment, the two of them didn't know how to persuade them. If you really become a branch manager of Wanjia Comprehensive Supermarket, you will indeed be a respectable person in Hong Kong Haowan.

This is not much different from the celebrities that Lao Wu and others have already made.

After a while, the three of them went to Ouyang Zhenhua's house in the tenement building. It was a two-bedroom, one-living-room, and one-bathroom apartment with an indoor area of ​​more than 70 square meters. Ah Hua had saved his money for many years and bought it.

After turning on the TV, eating and drinking, Ouyang Zhenhua said excitedly, "By the way, Lao Wu, when will your Wanted 2 be released? Summer time or Lunar New Year time?"

"It's the first sequel to have a global revenue of 780 million US dollars. I'm really looking forward to it. It's a big science fiction action movie and it looks very exciting."

The male and female protagonists of Wanted 2 must be Yuan Biao, Xu Jinjiang, Liu Dehua, Li Saifeng and others, and Wu Zhenyu is the big villain, big boss, and telekinetic superpower that Professor Xu first developed superpowers but failed to produce.

Although Tao Dayu has become a popular niche actor in recent years with his trilogy (Criminal Detective Files), he is still not as good as Lao Wu.

In the third part of Lao Wu Jie (New World), Ni Yongxiao, the little godfather of the Ni family, officially proved himself and was nominated for the Academy Award for Best Actor. Later, many gangster movies asked him to play the role of the eldest brother.

His image as the godfather of the society is more powerful than the four evil villains such as Cheng Kui'an, Huang Guangliang, He Jiaju, and Li Zhaoji, except for Ding Xiaoxi of the Zhongqing Society in another super masterpiece (The Great Era).

In (God of Gamblers), Lao Wu is Big Brother Nan under the gambling devil.

Although Jiang Bao's scenes in (Shaolin Soccer) are rarely guest appearances, it can be regarded as a brilliant work that changed the direction of the drama and refreshed the image.

Then he played Inspector Yan Tong in "Chasing the Dragon", and Inspector Hua who suppressed Andy Lau and beat him up in the early stage.

How should I put it, various roles have been accumulated one by one. At this stage, Wu Zhenyu's acting career is not too broad, and his image is somewhat defined as being in the position of a big hero or villain, but he can also be very popular as a villain.

The telekinetic villain in (Wanted 2) is Lao Wu’s latest masterpiece.

Wu Zhenyu smiled and said, "Maybe it's the Lunar New Year holiday. We still have to wait, but Daiyu, don't you have good news for Ah Hua?"

Tao Dayu then nodded, ate a peanut and said, "Yes, Sir Deng Texi and Deng made a notebook, it seems to be (Imperial Court No. 1), writing a legal court drama, there is no certainty, it is experimental in nature.

I play the second male lead, and Ah Hua, you are the first male lead. I originally planned to tell you during the game."

Ouyang Zhenhua was stunned, "Me? The first male?"

Then he smiled bitterly and said, "Then try again. If the male lead is not good enough and there is no splash, I really have to quit the circle."

When I heard about the role of the male lead, he was not too surprised. He has played quite a few important supporting roles over the years. In "Chasing the Dragon", he still played the role of Yan Tong's subordinate and right-hand man.

(Criminal Investigation File) also starred as the leading actor in a criminal investigation unit. In (Big Time), he was an elite horseman under Ding Xiaoxian, and there were many scenes where he had lines and showed his face.

In (God of Gamblers), Ouyang Zhenhua is still the one who plays Chen Xiaodao.

It's fate... Even now, he still has no fan base, and he doesn't need to wear a mask when going out on the street. When citizens see him, some recognize him and think he is a star, and they are treated like "You are not that so-and-so?"

There are only a handful of people who can call his name.

It's not impossible to live like this if he continues like this, but as he said himself, this is not success. It's not as good as the glory and respect that comes from becoming a Wanjia branch manager.

Is the man in trouble? Then give it your last try, succeed, or retreat. After defeat, there will be nothing to regret.

………………

Compared with Ouyang Pangpang's situation, Zhang Guorong, who only returned from the mainland in March, was much more relaxed. He learned from Chen Baixiang that ATV was going to hold a large-scale singing competition and variety show.

Ah Rong decisively took Hua Zai and Tan Yonglin to the ATV Variety Show Creation Center, including Mei Yanfang, who had already arrived.

A group of people gathered behind the big office.

A Le was so excited that he danced a little, "The idea proposed by Zhao Sheng is good. You only use your ears to select people. This is similar to how you, as a mentor, only use your ears to recruit apprentices, and then let the apprentices compete against each other for promotion."

"The final selection should be good."

Chen Farong laughed and said, "Not only do mentors choose apprentices, apprentices can also choose mentors. Brother Rong, you have finally finished filming Farewell My Concubine. You can relax with a variety show for a while. You three kings of Asia's music scene are here."

Being a mentor is just for fun, isn't it?"

Zhang Guorong laughed, "To put it this way, I'm just doing a show for fun. It's much easier than filming."

In April last year, he accepted the film contract of "Farewell My Concubine" and returned to the mainland to study Peking Opera for five or six months. During this period, he flew to North America to hold concerts and promote "The Lion King" and "Crazy Givenchy".

.

In October, the filming of his role in "Farewell My Concubine" officially started in Beijing. The filming continued for half a year and was finally completed.

He admitted that "Farewell My Concubine" is a very good art film, but it was not easy to shoot. He had no bend in this aspect, and taking that role was really a sacrifice for art.

Hua Zai looked forward to it, "When will the variety show start filming? I can't wait to hear it."

A Le explained, "This variety show wants to create a high-end, fashionable, classy stage, so the stage is still being renovated and is located in our building."

"But the announcement can already be made. When I push it on the (Millionaire) show, it should become popular and attract enough and good enough contestants to sign up."

Recruiting contestants from the mainland, Hong Kong Haowan, Island, Canada, Korea and Xingma Tai, the number of contestants that can be attracted is absolutely amazing. The registration rules are to record and cover more than three songs, no editing, and add photo information.

They were mailed together to the ATV Variety Center and then screened by the staff.

Only those who are selected will come to Hong Kong Island to officially become players and land on the big stage.

At this stage, A Le and Chen Farong are recruiting four mentors to come over, that is, to talk about the specific PK process of the variety show, let them know, and be mentally prepared.

"It will take at least a month to screen the contestants and add renovations. It is estimated that the first session will be officially opened next month. This is due to the fact that our variety center already has a high-quality stage for singing and dancing performances."

"Just simply decorate it according to the needs of the variety show, otherwise it will never be completed in a month."

After studying the specific rules, Mei Yanfang couldn't help but laugh and said, "Brother La, I still took advantage of this. Otherwise, Sister Zhen Ni, or the famous Zhongsen cuisine in the island country, would be no worse than me."

ah."

Three male mentors, the undisputed kings of Asia, said that the theme song, ending song, etc. in the animated movie (The Lion King) were the most popular single albums last year.

Keep pushing up, one after another, holding a bunch of trump cards.

She, Amei, got a big deal.

A'le was a bit dumbfounded, "Come on, you're not bad either. If the thigh era hadn't delayed your personal image, you would already be at the top of the list among female singers in the music industry."

………………

ATV's various projects are progressing in an orderly manner.

As night falls, starting at seven o'clock in the evening, the familiar theme song begins to play on the TV sets in every household in Hong Kong.

"There is a Bao Qingtian in Kaifeng~"

"Impartial and selfless in distinguishing between loyal and traitor~"

"Heroes from the world come to help~"

…………

It's April 6th.

The 16 episodes (Full House) originally released at 7 o'clock have ended their first round of broadcasting, and (Bao Qingtian) has also entered the stage of two episodes a day.

The first part of the drama (The Beauty) has finished playing, and we have entered the second part (True and Fake Number One Scholar). What should I say about this TV series? It is not a question of whether it is popular or not.

After only about ten episodes, calculated in terms of ratings points, the audience group covered by Haowan, Daojiahan and Xingmatai in Hong Kong has quickly climbed from about 20 million people in the first and second episodes to 30 million people!

The average ratings in various places are above 30 points, and it has also exceeded 30 points in the island country.

Bao Zheng, played by Jin Chaoyu, and Zhan Zhao, played by He Jiajing, have become popular and dominate the screen in East and Southeast Asia.

Even the big news announced by Cheng Long that Old Jack from a bank in North America wants to break Xiao Chen's heart has begun to gain momentum.

(Bao Qingtian)'s theme song and ending song were spread all over the streets as soon as it entered 7 or 8 o'clock. It was so catchy that I could even hum it after watching a few episodes.

The phenomenal expressiveness is not worthy of the popularity and momentum of this TV series. The TV series is so popular, and the main creators who are still filming the follow-up units in Bianliang naturally know it...

Then when a person floats up, the pressure becomes more and more intense.

Even in the Haowan area of ​​Hong Kong, there are already impatient people who want to travel to Bianliang, visit various Kaifeng government offices in Bianliang, the Song Dynasty City, Qingming Shanghe Garden Scenic Area, and watch the crew filming.

Of course, the Kaifeng Mansion in Bianliang is too far away after all, so when some Hong Kong Island citizens learned that the Kaifeng Mansion attraction was being built deeper on the edge of the Tung Chung Jurassic Theme Park?
