"Click!" Wu Yusen jumped onto the director's chair with a smile on his face, waving his fist and shouting, "I announce that "A Better Tomorrow 2" has been completed!"
"Pa bang bang..."
Wu Yusen responded with a burst of applause mixed with cheers.
After the crew finished work, Leslie Cheung changed out of his costume and happened to meet Zhou Runfa who was smoking with his head down.
"Looking for a drink somewhere?" Zhou Runfa suddenly asked.
Zhang Guorong was stunned for a moment, then smiled and said: "Okay, I'll treat you."
Although Zhou Runfa is already a big star, he does not own a car. He usually takes the bus to the set. As for when attending important events, Oriental Entertainment Company will provide Zhou Runfa with a luxury car and a full-time driver. This is also a benefit for a first-line actor.
.
Leslie Cheung was much more chic. After all, he was a rich second generation before he became a star. At this time, he drove away with Zhou Yunfa in a royal blue BMW.
The two of them did not go to the bar, but just found a tea restaurant to sit down.
Zhou Runfa ordered some refreshments and said, "I saw someone from Jiahe looking for you yesterday."
Zhang Guorong nodded: "Jiahe wants to poach me."
Zhou Runfa said seriously: "They also looked for me."
Zhang Guorong was not a fool, and he quickly understood what Zhou Runfa meant. He asked: "You can't get an idea?"
"Yes, Mr. Kang treats me well. If I change my job to Jiahe at this time, I won't be able to live in Hong Kong anymore." Zhou Runfa sighed.
Leslie Cheung smiled and said: "Then don't go. Anyway, if you stay at DreamWorks, you won't have to worry about not having any filming."
"You're not planning to leave DreamWorks either?" Zhou Runfa asked.
"Why should I leave?" Zhang Guorong asked.
Only then did Zhou Runfa remember that Leslie Cheung’s family was financially well off, which was different from grassroots stars like him. He smiled bitterly and said: “I have a lot of fans in Taiwan. The reason why I get such a high salary when I accept films from other companies is because of the Taiwan box office market.
Hold on."
This is Chow Run-fa's dilemma. He has to make at least five movies every year, most of which are external film contracts. He only makes one or two films for DreamWorks every year. Now that the Taiwan Information Bureau has issued a ban, if Chow Run-fa doesn't
He terminated his agency contract with Oriental Entertainment Company. No other film company would dare to approach him for filming, so he would earn at least half of his money every year.
As the saying goes, "Friendship is stronger than gold", but in the face of actual interests, no one can laugh it off calmly. Zhou Runfa had been suffering from headaches and insomnia for the past few days, so he invited Zhang Guorong out to chat.
"You make your own choice in this kind of thing," Zhang Guorong didn't want to help others make decisions. He just reminded, "But I advise you to think about it calmly. You are now the pillar of DreamWorks and a well-deserved boss. If you leave DreamWorks,
The factory goes to Jiahe, where there are Cheng Long and Hong Jinbao. Where is your position? Maybe you will make more money every year than if you stayed at DreamWorks. But if you can't make a movie soon to be on par with Cheng Long, you
His status in the film industry has always been suppressed by them, and it will be difficult for his salary to increase."
The waiter brought Zhou Runfa's tea, but he sat there like a wooden man, thinking for a long time before punching himself in the leg.
…
…
"Zhou Runfa and Zhang Guorong refused?" Zou Wenhuai asked Cai Yongchang.
Cai Yongchang nodded and said: "They all refused, but Chen Huimin agreed to come."
Zou Wenhuai asked again: "Where are Zhou Xingchi and Wu Mengda?"
Cai Yongchang laughed and said: "They are filming a new film with Kang Jianfei. Moreover, their contract terms are still very long. It is not worth paying so much liquidated damages. But Zheng Zeshi is willing to come over."
"Mao Shunyun is pretty good at comedy. Have you ever had any contact with her?" Zou Wenhuai asked.
Cai Yongchang replied: "Mao Shunyun's father is a translator for Phoenix TV, and her mother is a subtitler for Phoenix TV. The whole family is eating under Kang Jianfei's hand, and it is impossible to poach them."
"Then forget it." Zou Wenhuai said.
Although Golden Harvest is in serious need of actresses, it has already signed contracts with Xia Wenxi, Ye Tong, Liu Lanxi and others. Moreover, Zhang Aijia will fly over from Taiwan soon to film "The Courting Star", so there is basically no shortage of actresses.
Cai Yongchang continued: "DreamWorks directors can't even be hired. None of them, including Tsang Chi-wai, McDonald's Bear, Li Xiuxian, and Chen Xunqi, are willing to leave."
DreamWorks' resources are limited, and not every director has a film to shoot. Kang Jianfei does not prohibit his directors from filming for other companies, so many directors often go out to make extra money.
If the actors contracted by Oriental Entertainment Company leave because they are afraid of not being able to get roles from other companies, then the directors of DreamWorks have no doubts about this.
Because no matter how much the actors use pseudonyms, they will still be spotted by people in the film. But if the director changes his name to make a movie, only the devil knows who directed the film.
For example, DreamWorks was banned by the Taiwanese authorities. As the manager of the film production department of DreamWorks, Zeng Zhiwei would naturally be included in the blacklist of directors. But if Zeng Zhiwei changed his name to Zeng Dawei and quietly went to help Wuzhou Century make a movie,
The Taiwan Film Censorship Office knew nothing when it reviewed the film.
Zou Wenhuai folded his arms in front of his chest and asked: "Yongchang, do you think Kang Jianfei suffered such a big fall this time and will never recover?"
Cai Yongchang shook his head and said: "It's just the loss of the Taiwan market. Those left-wing companies in Yindu Agency have survived for decades, not to mention Kang Jianfei, who has made blockbuster movies."
"That's true," Zou Wenhuai said and suddenly laughed, "but Kang Jianfei's failure is good news for us. At least we have one less box office competitor in the Taiwan market."
…
…
"What? Anita Mui and Ye Qianwen both refused to come over!" Fang Yihua said in surprise.
Huaxing Records is no longer a subsidiary of the wireless station, but Fang Yihua still firmly controls the record company. Except for the annual singing competition jointly organized with TVB, Fang Yihua rarely interferes with the specific affairs of Huaxing Records, but this time he did
He was extremely concerned about poaching Kang Jianfei.
Standing in front of Fang Yihua was a department manager of Huaxing Records named Zheng Meiying, who was responsible for the discovery and training of artists. She said: "Not only Anita Mui and Ye Qianwen refused to come, but even Happy Girls failed to recruit them."
Fang Yihua said strangely: "It's a good thing that Anita Mui can't poach her. She mainly sings Cantonese songs, so she won't suffer much if she loses the Taiwanese market. But Ye Qianwen herself is Taiwanese, and the main record market of Happy Girls is also in Taiwan. How can they
Maybe you can stay at Pop Records and not leave?”
Zheng Meiying shook her head and said: "That's not clear, but Wen Bixia is Kang Jianfei's sister. The relationship between the two of them is very unusual."
"Who have you poached these days?" Fang Yihua added, "Don't poach those little singers. China Star doesn't have that many resources."
Zheng Meiying said: "Among the first-line singers, only Lu Fang is willing to come."
"Oh, this is an unexpected surprise." Fang Yihua said happily.
Lu Fang stood out in the program "The Voice of China". He has released four records so far, with an average sales volume of each record (Hong Kong) of 40,000. His position in popular records (male singer) is second only to Leslie Cheung. Huaxing Records
Poaching Lu Fang now is like Cao Cao poaching Zhang Fei. Why not make Fang Yihua happy?
Zheng Meiying explained the reason: "Lu Fang seems to be dating Zheng Yuling."
Fang Yihua suddenly realized it, and then she felt very unhappy. Zheng Yuling is now the leading actress of TVB, and her status is slightly higher than that of Wang Mingquan and Michelle. When an actress like this falls in love, it will have a great impact on her work.

…
While Golden Harvest and Huaxing Records were frantically poaching people, there was little movement in New Art City.
For Princess Golden's boss, Lei Juekun, it is a new art city that will succeed or fail. In the past, Lei Juekun was afraid that when DreamWorks grew, Princess Golden would become dependent on DreamWorks' film sources. As a result, he is now worried
It comes true in Xinyi City.
Princess Jin has many satellite companies, but these companies all pale in comparison to New Art City. Even the films produced by Chen Xunqi's Yongjia Pictures can only take advantage of the gaps and schedule them when there are no films to be released in New Art City.
, once there is a film showing in New Art City, you have to give way.
There are also many problems within Xinyi City. The biggest problem is that the structure is too small. The three-person decision-making team of Ma Jia, Huang Baiming and Shi Tian cannot tolerate different voices, and they successively forced Xu Ke and Zhang Aijia to leave.
New Art City has Xu Guanjie, Mika, and Huang Baiming. It seems that there is no need for other big names. Even if Zhou Runfa and Zhang Guorong were poached, they don't know how to use them.
However, even if New Art City does not poach people, the number of contracted actors of Oriental Entertainment Company has still dropped sharply. In less than a week, it dropped from 146 at its peak to 79, and there are still many who have signed contracts.
I stayed under a long-term contract but had no money to pay the penalty.
Oriental Entertainment Company, Deputy General Manager Office.
"Dong dong dong!"
"Come in!"
Zhang Guozhong's secretary said: "Manager, Mr. Liang Jiahui Liang wants to see you."
"Are we going to terminate the contract again?" Zhang Guozhong said with a headache, "Just follow the rules. We won't let him go until liquidated damages are met."
The female secretary smiled and said: "Manager, Mr. Liang is not an actor in our company. He wants to join the company."
"What? There are still actors who want to join the company at this time," Zhang Guozhong immediately became energetic. "Please invite Mr. Liang to come in!"
A few minutes later, Liang Jiahui knocked on the door and came in. Zhang Guozhong had already gone up to shake hands with him: "The actor's presence really makes this humble house shine."
Tony Leung laughed and said: "Manager Zhang, please don't be sarcastic. After I, the best actor, was banned in Taiwan, I haven't filmed a movie for more than half a year."
Zhang Guozhong laughed and said: "It doesn't matter if we are blocked by Taiwan, this is Hong Kong."
Liang Jiahui said: "I just heard that Mr. Kang was also banned, and I felt that I was in the same boat, so I came to see him."
"Welcome to join Mr. Liang!" Zhang Guozhong said enthusiastically. If at any other time, an actor came to sign a contract, Zhang Guozhong would probably not have come forward in person, but at this time, a signer appeared in the wave of contract cancellations, which was really a timely help.
Warmth, Zhang Guozhong's impression of Liang Jiahui was extremely good.
"I'm honored!" Liang Jiahui smiled reservedly, but the words of his mentor Li Hanxiang came to mind: Ah Hui, this is a good opportunity for you to sign in Oriental Entertainment Company. If you join now as an actor, you will definitely be highly praised. (
