Chapter five hundred and fortieth Wen Bixia's thoughts
After Run Run Shaw's long preparations, on May 13th, the first Hong Kong Film Awards Ceremony was held at Lee Stage.
As this is the first time for the Awards to be held, in order to increase the fame and popularity of the Hong Kong Film Awards, Run Run Shaw not only broadcast the entire event live on wireless, but also let Jiayi TV and Asia TV broadcast the live broadcast for free.
At the same time, he also invited many big names in the Hong Kong film and television industry to attend. Among them, Li Guangyu and Run Run Shaw personally went to the Lee Mansion to send invitations to Li Guangyu, hoping that Li Guangyu could attend the ceremony.
On the night of the 13th, it was just past six o'clock, and many stars, directors and screenwriters appeared on the stage.
Obviously these stars are more valued by media reporters than directors and screenwriters, as can be seen from the number of interviews by reporters.
These people are very happy that Hong Kong holds its own Golden Horse Awards. In the past, they basically attended the Golden Horse Awards in Baodao, but other world-wide awards are difficult to obtain in Hong Kong's film and television industry.
This first time, the Hong Kong Film Awards mainly involved films from Hong Kong film companies. In addition, there were also several films from Jiayi Baodao Branch and Japan Branch. Now the Hong Kong Film Awards are still in Hong Kong.
status.
However, Run Run Shaw will not let this situation continue. This time due to insufficient preparation and popularity, he plans to attract film companies from Taiwan and Japan to participate next year. In the future, he plans to bring the Academy Awards
It has also become a world-class film award.
Inside the Li Stage, many artists from the Jiayi Group also came here. One of them seemed to have become the central figure.
I just heard a girl standing around say: "Sister Hong, you will definitely win the Best Actress award this time."
The person being surrounded is none other than Zhong Chuhong from Jiayi Artist Company. She joined Jiayi Group in 1979. With her growth in the past two years, she has now become another Hua Dan figure in Jiayi Group.
But what is somewhat miraculous is that the movies starring Zhong Chuhong have very high reviews, but they are not very good at the box office and cannot make much money. The main reason is that several of Zhong Chuhong's movies are literary films. In a place like Xiangjiang, commercial films are still needed.
Only then are they more popular, such as comedies, kung fu movies, etc.
Zhong Chuhong said: "Xiaoxia, it's not like you don't know the situation here in Xiangjiang. Even though my movies have high reviews, they are not as high as the box office of the first movie you participated in last year. The judges here are different from Baodao. We
Xiangjiang is about business being king.”
The girl known as Xiaoxia, formerly known as Wen Biyu, joined Jiayi Group last year and changed her name to Wen Bixia after joining the group.
She starred in the first movie Pretty Girl, which received a very good box office, and she was also nominated for the Best Newcomer Award this time.
Wen Bixia said: "I believe that not everyone here in Hong Kong prefers commercial films. Sister Hong will definitely win the Best Actress Award. It is said that Li Sheng will also be the presenter today. If he awards you an award, just think about it.
I’m happy, but I don’t have such a chance anymore.”
Wen Bixia knew that it was impossible for Li Guangyu to award the Best Newcomer Award, among which the Best Movie Award, Best Actor, and Best Actress were the most important. Li Guangyu would only award such awards, and other awards
It is obvious that Li Guangyu cannot be invited.
Zhong Chuhong doesn't care too much about this. She is currently living very comfortably in the Jiayi Group and has no intention of clinging to branches. She herself is not too fond of wealthy families. She feels that she just needs to work hard to make good movies.
Wen Bixia and Zhong Chuhong are not the same. This is mainly due to family factors. Although Zhong Chuhong's family is not rich and powerful, there is no problem for the family to live a good life.
Wen Bixia was born in a poor family. The conditions at home were very poor, and she had several brothers and sisters. This made her want to work hard to move up. She hoped that she could live a life of superiority in the future, and a wealthy family was her shortcut.
Now Wen Bixia hopes that she can leave a good impression on Li Guangyu, so that she can enjoy more resources in Jiayi Group.
For example, Zhong Chuhong and Wen Bixia knew very well that if Cao Weiqing hadn't spoken to her from behind, how could Jiayi Group have produced several literary films for her in a row. In addition to winning awards for this film, the company would not be able to win any awards at all.
How much profit.
Wen Bixia was very envious of Zhong Chuhong. She also knew that several Huadan-level figures in the group had received so many resources and were so famous because of the attention of the top management of the Li family.
In particular, Anita Mui, who is only three years older than herself, attracted Li Guangyu's attention when she was less than 16 years old, and thus became a queen-level figure.
Like Anita Mui, Wen Bixia joined Jiayi Group at the age of fifteen. She is not yet 16 years old now, but her thoughts have already matured.
She also hopes that she can be as valued by Li Guangyu as Anita Mui. She believes that as long as she is valued by Li Guangyu, Anita Mui can become a diva-level figure in the recording industry, and she can also become a film queen-level figure. She does not think that she will be better than Anita Mui.
Others are worse.
Of course Zhong Chuhong didn't understand the thoughts of the little sister next to her. She was not an ambitious person, so she just had to get by.
Zhong Chuhong said: "Xiaoxia, you don't need to worry. The company knows your efforts and you will definitely get more opportunities in the future. The group does not lack resources. You just need to wait for the opportunity now."
Wen Bixia knew that it was already settled for her to join Jiayi Group, but it was not easy to say for other companies. For example, at Wireless, it takes several years for newcomers to get ahead, while ordinary film companies have fewer opportunities.
But I'm afraid to compare this matter. I feel pretty good at the moment, but compared with those in the group that are valued, my resources are far behind.
Wen Bixia knew that this was mainly because she entered the group too late. Not long after the group was established, Li Sheng would focus on the situation here and let the group focus on taking care of some people.
Now that Li's senior management is not involved, the group is developing step by step. The main resources are still placed on those people ordered by Li Sheng. It is really difficult for the newcomers to obtain the same resources.
Over the past few years, the group's top actresses are still Chen Yulian, Ouyang Peishan, Michelle, Zheng Yuling, plus Zhong Chuhong who is supported by Cao Weiqing, and there is also the singer Anita Mui who has nothing to do and comes to the film industry.
Take a walk.
This made Wen Bixia deeply feel the difficulty of getting ahead, and also made her hope to be valued by Li Guangyu.
Wen Bixia knew that the top management of Jiayi Group would not tell the director to pay special attention to anyone, and the director also had a business-like attitude and would not talk too much about affection.
This is mainly because Li Guangyu once specially set some rules to prevent some chaos here, so some unspoken rules that appeared within the company did not appear in Jiayi Group.
She herself has heard from some people that several directors in the group were kicked out of Jiayi Group in the past. The problem was that they did not strictly abide by the group's rules and regulations.
It is precisely for this reason that newcomers need absolute strength to take over. However, there are also many newcomers in Jiayi Group. Without special care, it will not be easy to get ahead in a short time.
