Chapter 1 Powerless
In the evening of February 8, 1979, the cold wind was raging.
After leaving the gate of the TVB TV station, Xie Changhua wrapped up his clothes, shrank down, looked at the sky and let out a sigh. He lowered his head and complained to the fat man next to him, "You said I'm 21. I've been doing this for so many years.
The annual salary increase is only 200, 200, and now it is only 1,500.”
"Woman, you said..."
He raised his head and took a deep breath, paused, turned around and continued: "Why is life so difficult? Talented people like us can only make so much money every year!"
"Ha!" Wang Jing glanced at Xie Changhua and said with disdain: "It doesn't matter if you have strength. There are more people with strength now, and they don't have the same salary. Working in TVB only means "hard work."
"
After finishing speaking, he jumped down a few steps and turned around and said: "If Jiashi hadn't poached people the year before last and poached 70% of the people behind the scenes and actors, I would still be working behind the scenes of variety shows, and you wouldn't know where to shoot things.
Well, be content."
"Also, please don't call me a woman again. After all, I am now the editor of a popular drama. If you call me a woman again, you will fall out."
Wang Jing felt powerless when he thought that the pen name he once had was often used against someone who was not a woman.
"You're right, TVB never lacks talent." Xie Changhua looked at him and sighed, then fell silent.
Wireless really has no shortage of geniuses. Even though a lot of geniuses have left, there is still no shortage. The newcomers they have trained are not inferior to the seniors. As for the seniors, they are firmly occupying the top positions. This makes the two
People feel endless pressure.
After a while, Wang Jing finally said, "Where can we go for supper tonight?"
"Just find a seafood stall nearby." Xie Changhua glanced at him and said in a strange voice: "People with wives are different. Going home is the same as going to work. I can't keep you for a while longer.
"
Wang Jing said with some embarrassment: "Hey, my wife is 4 months pregnant. She is very lucky. Of course she has to go home and coax her. Unlike you, a prodigal son, just take care of yourself."
"I didn't expect you to be pure before!" Xie Changhua looked at him deeply, patted his shoulder and said with a bad smile.
"What do you mean?"
"You will definitely not understand what I said now, but you will understand it when you think about it in five or eight years!" Xie Changhua smiled meaningfully.
"Tch, you always talk too much sometimes, why don't you change your career to be a magician, you can make more money." Wang Jing, who couldn't get the answer, countered with sarcasm.
"Hey~, it's boring to pretend to be a magic stick every day, but I'm quite interested in being a magic stick once in a while."
"Let's go, let's stop talking. I'm treating you to a treat today. Let's drink and eat!" Seeing that he was a little angry, Xie Changhua patted his back, picked up his neck, pulled him, and sang a tune as he walked nearby.
of food stalls.
As a person who just traveled through time in December 1977, he feels that this era is full of unpredictability, as if there is a force pushing Hong Kong movies forward. He likes to be a screenwriter, and Wang Jing, who only touched the camera for the first time in 1980, is the last to come from behind.
, a future big star who has become a big director and works day and night for a salary of more than 900 yuan. He is always busy squatting next to the set, buying and chewing barbecued pork rice for 5 yuan a piece, waiting for opportunities.
I envy the actors who have become famous. During the filming, I desperately look for opportunities to greet myself as the photographer, hoping to make myself look prettier. Who knows that in a few years, the salary will be hundreds of thousands. As for some people who have not yet made their fortune, they don’t know that now
I'm still in that industry.
In comparison, Xie Changhua feels that he is a lucky man and does not have to suffer anything, so he now believes in the theory of fate even more, just like everything the guy he possesses does seems to be marrying him in time.
Yi, desperately pushing herself in the direction of the director.
The original person has been practicing swimming hard since 72 years ago. At that time, he fled to Hong Kong with the army. In the following two years, he learned Cantonese and then worked hard. He stood out from the competition of more than 5,000 people and became one of the 80 people, tvb
A member of the fourth training class.
After getting acquainted with Huang Xingxiu, Du Qifeng, Liu Shiyu and other people who would become famous in the future, he felt deeply that he was just a handsome boy and was not good at practice. He took the initiative to develop behind the scenes and learned photography from Liu Shiyu, a photography enthusiast, and from Du Qifeng, and became 9
One of the signings.
But he worked so hard, and within a few years he was picked peaches by himself. This is not fate.
The most incredible thing is that within a few days after time travel, he encountered Jiashi poaching people, poaching 70% of the people in front of and behind the scenes. Being familiar with the future, he pretended to consider it and refused to change jobs together with the cameraman who taught him.
Instead, he stayed at TVB and took the initiative to ask Johnnie To for help. Lao Du happened to be promoted to director. Within a few months, he was assigned to a TV drama crew. Wang Jing’s first screenwriter drama "The Strong Man"
】, all this is simply like a dream.
After getting along with the crew, he was well aware of Wang Jing's achievements and slowly got connected with Wang Jing through Johnnie To. The two got to know each other. Xie Changhua was familiar with the routines of future TV dramas and often put forward some opinions on the scripts unintentionally. Soon,
He learned screenwriting from him and discussed it together. At the same time, after filming this popular drama, he also met the protagonist Chow Yun-fat, producer Li Tiansheng and others.
Ever since he became friends with this fat man, it seemed like he had taken off. He often followed him in and out of the TVB building to visit the backstage of the show, helped out as a temporary screenwriter, made some jokes, made suggestions, and got to know a lot of people, making connections for the future.
Base.
Moreover, Xie Changhua sorted out the many interesting anecdotes and gossips that he occasionally heard backstage, and exposed some of them with little consequence. However, the news that had some involvement with popular celebrities was sold to tabloid reporters. Through this
As a side job, I made a little money.
…
Inside the food stall, the heat was rising, the crowds were crowded, and the surroundings were messy. It would not fade away until midnight, but the two of them enjoyed the atmosphere very much, drinking wine and chatting.
Wang Jing took a sip of wine, stuffed an abalone, clinked glasses with Xie Changhua and said: "Hey, Ah Hua, I heard from Lao Du that you made a lot of money by borrowing money to buy stocks last year, why haven't you bought a house yet? You know now
A 600-square-foot house on Broadcasting Road only costs more than 200,000 yuan, and it will rise faster in the future."
"Once you have a house, it will be much easier to seduce a girl. Then, like me, find a good wife, get married and have children as soon as possible to stabilize your family, otherwise I will just let you wander."
Xie Changhua picked up the wine glass, took a sip of beer, pointed at him and said with a smile: "How could you have such an idea? You can only seduce high-quality girls before you are married. This is not asking for death!"
"Hey~, my senior said that the entertainment industry is very chaotic. Listen to my advice and start a family as soon as possible. Haven't you heard this news in so many years?"
"Don't worry about me. You know, what I want most is Mr. Cai Lam's life as a prodigal. Doesn't getting married mean that I will die? Just bury it yourself and don't drag me around. I'm just a pig riding on a horse."
A lovebird can only fly everywhere by riding on the wind of love. Without the wind, I will die as soon as I hit the ground." Xie Changhua scolded with a smile.
