Men in Hong Kong usually take their princess to a small mansion in Kowloon Tong after having a good time in a nightclub. In fact, there are more than just small mansions here. In the 1920s, the Hong Kong Government planned this area to be low-density.
It is a residential area, so this is also where the wealthy people in early Xiangjiang wanted to live.
However, as luxury residential areas such as Repulse Bay, Deep Water Bay, Mid-Levels, and The Peak began to build luxury homes, the advantages of Kowloon Tong gradually disappeared.
However, this is still a place where middle-class people in Xiangjiang like to buy.
Wong Sally, who had just finished filming today's filming assignment at Lai's TV, drove her car back to her residence in Kowloon Tong, which she just bought this month.
With the popularity of "Big Sister and the Big Madman", Huang Sally, who has been a daughter-in-law for many years and became a mother-in-law, finally experienced the feeling of being famous. Although her salary did not increase, the more endorsements she received, the more income she earned.
, although after paying the down payment for this villa, she didn’t have a few cents in her pocket, but she was still very happy.
"Mommy, is the food ready?"
Taking out the key and opening the door, Huang Shali walked in and preached happily.
Huang Shali, who is 28 years old, is still unmarried and lives with her parents.
What surprised Huang Shali was that when she walked into the living room, she saw that her parents had just finished eating. In the past, they would definitely wait for her.
"Mommy, why did you eat so early today?" Huang Shali looked at her mother who was packing things and asked curiously.
Huang Mu, who was holding bowls and chopsticks, said: "Mr. Wang Tianlin from TVB called home this morning and said that he wanted to meet you tonight. He said that no matter how late you come back, you must give him a call!"
Huang Shali was slightly startled. Of course she knew Wang Tianlin. How could the number one producer of TVB suddenly think of calling her and asking her to meet him?
Could it be that you want to do something because you have become popular recently?
But I haven’t heard that Wang Tianlin has any hobbies in this area?
The most important thing is that although he and Wang Tianlin know each other, they are not familiar with each other, not to mention that they are not from the same company?
But no matter what Huang Shali thinks, Wang Tianlin is highly respected in the Hong Kong entertainment industry, and Huang Shali always wants to make a phone call to inquire.
After dialing Wang Tianlin's home phone number, Huang Shali picked up her bag and said to Huang's mother: "Mommy, I'm going out and I'll be back later!"
"Okay, be careful!" Huang's mother didn't think much about it. The nature of her daughter's work was like this. Sometimes she needed to go back to retake the shot with just a phone call.
Huang Mu is used to it.
Soon, Huang Shali drove her car to a coffee shop near Kowloon Tong. When she arrived, she saw Wang Tianlin already there.
"Uncle Tianlin, why do you need to come to see me in person?"
Huang Shali put the bag in her hand on the chair next to her and asked curiously.
Wang Tianlin smiled and said: "You haven't eaten yet. I ordered the pasta here for you. You eat something first, and a friend will introduce you to him later!"
Wang Tianlin's words made Huang Shali more and more curious, and she wanted to ask, but Wang Tianlin just ignored him. When Huang Shali had eaten half of her pasta, Liang Risi came to the coffee shop.
After Liang Risi came in, he glanced around the cafe and immediately came to the table where Wang Tianlin and Huang Shali were sitting and sat down with a faint smile on his face.
“Coffee thanks!”
The waiter left, and Wang Tianlin introduced the curious Huang Shali: "Shali, this is Miss Liang Risi, the manager of the Jiaku Public Relations Department. It was she who asked me to invite you to come out and sit down today!"
The curiosity in Huang Shali's heart became more and more intense, and she stopped eating the pasta in front of her. It was not that she was unaware of Li's TV station's recent report on Chu Huan, but she was simply curious as to why the public relations manager of Chu Huan's company
I will suddenly see myself.
"Hello, Miss Liang!"
Liang Risi smiled and said: "Hello, Miss Huang, nice to meet you!"
Huang Shali couldn't help her curiosity and asked Liang Risi: "Miss Liang, we have never met before. I wonder why Miss Liang invited me here this time?"
Liang Risi was also not polite. He took out a check from his bag, put it on the table, and said with a smile: "Here is a check for 100,000 Hong Kong dollars. If Miss Liang has any ideas, she can join TVB or black and white video.
If we join TVB, we guarantee that TVB will start shooting a TV series with Ms. Liang as the female lead. If it is a black and white video, we can also start shooting a movie with Ms. Liang!"
Wang Tianlin and Huang Shali were both stunned at this time.
Wang Tianlin knew that Liang Risi was here to poach people, but he did not expect that the price of poaching people would be so high.
You must know that even for ordinary TVB artists, the monthly salary is only about 1,000 Hong Kong dollars. A TV series can get 4,000 to 5,000 Hong Kong dollars, which is already a high price.
As for Li's TV... TVB is said to be harsh, but in fact Li's TV is even worse than TVB in this regard.
This is a tradition in the Hong Kong TV circle.
Even if Huang Sally is now popular because of the TV series "Big Sister and the Big Madman", her salary for the next TV series will not exceed 10,000 Hong Kong dollars.
Now Liang Risi directly takes out 100,000 Hong Kong dollars, which is definitely a big temptation for Huang Shali.
To be honest, Wang Tianlin himself was a little envious.
At this time, he finally understood why Liang Risi was so sure that he could poach people.
Huang Shali was stunned. She didn't expect that Liang Risi was here to poach her. After Huang Shali graduated from Shaw Brothers' Southern Experimental Theater Company, she made several movies, but they were always lukewarm. Later, she joined Li's
Television, although relying on her experience in the film industry, she has become somewhat famous in the entertainment industry, and it is also one of the pillars of Li's TV.
But only fame but no profit, "Big Sister and the Big Madman", which has been aired for one-third of its time, is the one that really made Huang Shali feel famous.
You can earn the bulk of the money an artist can earn through endorsements!
From Huang Shali's point of view, she should stay rooted in Li TV in the future, and then make a few TV series with high ratings, endorse a few products, and pay for the villa she just bought.
That's pretty much how life is.
Unexpectedly, Liang Risi actually offered him 100,000 Hong Kong dollars to change jobs today, and all his previous plans were disrupted.
"Ms. Liang, this matter... This matter is a bit too sudden. I can't handle it. Can you give me some time to think about it?"
Huang Shali was going to go home and discuss this matter with her parents, whether it was a big or small matter.
Liang Risi smiled. She understood what Huang Shali was thinking about and said with a smile: "Ms. Huang, I heard that you just bought a villa in Kowloon Tong, which is about 2,500 square feet. According to the current housing prices in Kowloon Tong, what will it cost?"
In addition, you are moving into this villa directly, so the cost is about 600,000 Hong Kong dollars. Your down payment is 30%, which is 180,000 Hong Kong dollars. If you have this 100,000 Hong Kong dollars, I think you should be under pressure.
It will be reduced a lot immediately, right?”
Huang Shali was surprised again. Unexpectedly, Liang Risi already knew about buying a villa for herself, and said: "Miss Liang doesn't need to worry about this. According to my current situation, the next loan should not be a problem.
"
As an actress of Huang Sally's level, there are only a few sources of income.
The first is the artificial income brought by their own work, but this is the least type of income for them, but this is their foundation. Only after achieving a certain degree of success in their own work can they have other income.
income.
Secondly, once they become famous, they can endorse various products or host some events, which can also increase their extra income, and this is still the bulk of their income.
Secondly, there are naturally some incomes that cannot be told to outsiders. There are many rich people in Xiangjiang, and these rich people are also willing to find some famous female stars to hold parties with them, go on overseas trips and so on.
Finally, there are their various investments, among which real estate and stocks are the major ones.
Therefore, compared to the artists of later generations, the artists of this period were really simple.
Therefore, although 600,000 is a huge amount of money at this time, as long as Huang Shali can maintain her current reputation, this loan is indeed not a problem.
Seeing Huang Shali's confident look, Liang Risi smiled, took out a piece of paper from his bag, handed it to Huang Shali with a smile and preached.
"Ms. Huang, here are your current endorsements, the endorsement ads you are talking about, and some future commercial hosting activities. Take a look and see if our statistics are complete?"
Huang Shali frowned slightly, becoming a little dissatisfied with Liang Risi's investigation of her. Wang Tianlin on the side also sighed a little. He thought that Liang Risi had made a stupid move now. Since she was here to poach Huang Shali, the most important thing was to kill Huang Shali.
Huang Shali was happy.
After you are happy, not everything is easy to talk about.
But now he clearly told the other party that he was investigating her.
"Miss Liang, what do you mean?" Huang Shali asked Liang Risi with some dissatisfaction.
However, Liang Risi seemed not to notice Huang Shali's dissatisfaction at all, and still smiled and preached.
"The meaning is obvious. At least 80% of the companies on this paper have business dealings with our Jiaku, and some of them are even subsidiaries of our Jiaku. So, Miss Huang, you said something wrong just now. Your situation is actually
It’s not as good as you imagined. If you lose 80% of the endorsements and activities, I think you won’t be able to pay the remaining loan with just your labor at Li TV, Ms. Huang!”
Huang Shali's expression became more and more ugly. She didn't like Liang Risi's condescending and slightly threatening tone.
"There is no need for Miss Liang to worry about it. If there is nothing else, I will leave first!"
After saying that, Huang Shali was about to get up.
Liang Risi sat there, watching Huang Shali's movements, the smile on his face disappeared, and said calmly: "Miss Huang, if you leave here now, I promise that the moment you get home, the one in your hand will
The companies on the list will call you immediately. I think Ms. Huang, you’d better give it serious consideration to our Jiaku’s influence in Hong Kong!”
Huang Shali paused.
Many things, if stated straightforwardly, can actually have a better impact on people's hearts.
In order to buy a villa in Kowloon Tong, Huang Shali basically spent all her savings. If she loses this income...
"That's right!" Liang Risi continued: "We also investigated your father-in-law and mother-in-law, one of whom works as a seaman in Wheelock's shipping company, the other of whom is a full-time nurse, and your two younger brothers.
They are all working in the company. I wonder what it will be like when you go back and learn from their mouths that they have just received a dismissal call from their company?"
Huang Shali's body was trembling slightly.
This is a fear, if this is the case, their whole family will lose their financial resources.
Wang Tianlin felt the chills on his back again. In their circle, they seemed to have become famous, and even he was known as a highly respected person in the circle.
But at this time, Wang Tianlin once again truly felt the gap between classes and the crushing strength.
Huang Shali, a popular TV artist, was so easily manipulated.
Huang Shali stood there, turned to look at Liang Risi, and said very dissatisfied: "I don't believe that Jiaku can cover the sky with one hand in Xiangjiang. There are always places that you can't take care of!"
This chapter is not finished yet, please click the next page to continue reading the exciting content! Liang Risi’s smile came back to her cheeks, and she said with a smile: “This is natural, but I want to stay with our Jiaku in Xiangjiang because of you, Miss Huang.
There are definitely not a few companies that are our enemies. You should have seen this matter in those English newspapers before, Ms. Huang."
Huang Shali remained silent. Jiaku really couldn't control everything in Xiangjiang. Otherwise, Li TV wouldn't have produced a talk show to discredit Chu Huan.
But Huang Shali also understands that she can stay at Li TV, but her income will drop by more than 80%, and her parents and brothers will lose all their financial resources. Li TV cannot help her with these things.
fixed.
Liang Risi continued with a smile: "Now Miss Huang only needs to accept this check. Whether you join TVB or join Black and White Video, I think for Miss Huang, your income will not be discounted.
As a human being, isn't the most important thing is to live together as a family and in harmony?
Why bother yourself?"
Are there any other options for Huang Sally?
there is none left!
"I have an agency contract with Li's TV!" Huang Shali sat down again. As an actress, her basic skills are passable, so there was no dissatisfaction on her face at this time.
"Miss Huang, please don't worry about this matter. Since we want to take away Miss Huang, we have naturally been prepared for this, so this matter will be left to our legal department to take full responsibility!"
Liang Risi said with a smile.
Huang Shali knew that she had no better choice, and said: "Then after I finish filming the current movie "Big Sister and the Big Madman", I will sign a contract with TVB."
Huang Shali has realized that there is no way for her to become famous in the film industry, so she decided to join TVB.
Liang Risi waved her hand and said, "Miss Huang misunderstood. What I mean is that starting from tonight, Miss Huang can no longer film for Li's TV."
As he spoke, Liang Risi took out three air tickets from his bag, put them on the table again, and said with a smile: "Here are three air tickets to Tokyo, Japan, which can just allow Miss Huang to take her parents to Japan."
Travel, there will be someone there to receive you personally!"
Wang Tianlin and Huang Shali looked at Liang Risi in fear. Neither of them expected that Liang Risi would be so ruthless in what he did.
Now the TV series "Big Sister and the Big Madman" has just been broadcast for one-third, and the remaining footage is less than one-half. Now if Huang Shali leaves, this TV series with her as the first heroine will
Basically, it can be scrapped. Li's TV will probably open the sunroof by then. In this case...
"Ms. Liang, will this..." Even though Huang Shali had decided to join TVB, she thought that she, the female lead, would slip away halfway through the filming of the TV series, which would definitely damage her reputation.
It will have an impact.
Liang Risi said firmly: "There is no room for negotiation on this matter. Miss Huang, you must leave Xiangjiang tomorrow."
"What if I don't agree?" Huang Shali still didn't want to give up the TV series that made her famous. Coupled with her conflicting attitude towards Liang Risi, she finally asked insistently.
Liang Risi said: "Then the agreement we just made is naturally invalid. Ms. Huang can give up everything for this TV series. I just don't know what it will be like if the other actors or the behind-the-scenes directors and producers of this TV series leave this TV series."
What are the consequences?”
Tick tock!
Tick tock!
Both Wang Tianlin and Huang Shali were dripping sweat on the ground.
For Huang Shali, this negotiation was originally an option with only one choice. After Liang Risi blocked all her escape routes, the only result left for Huang Shali was to get the check and
Three plane tickets and a cool trip to Hong Kong for a while, no matter the floods in Hong Kong!
When Huang Sally took these things and left the cafe in despair.
Wang Tianlin couldn't help but said: "Miss Liang, you can't be that aggressive. As long as you give Huang Shali some time to think about it, I think she will definitely agree to our request."
Liang Risi said with a smile on her face: "Director Wang, of course I know this, but I don't have the time to wait for her to make a decision. If she doesn't agree to this request today, tomorrow Li TV will smoothly broadcast various programs.
It’s an already established program, and that’s not what we want to see.”
Seeing what Liang Risi said, Wang Tianlin knew that whatever he said was useless.
"By the way, Director Wang, please give me a call to the male lead in "Big Sister and Big Sister Head". I want to see him tomorrow night!"
Liang Risi preached to Wang Tianlin.
Wang Tianlin Ling Ran, he understood that Liang Risi wanted to completely kill this high-rated TV series of Li TV!
"Ok, no problem!"
At this point, Wang Tianlin actually has no options to choose from.
"OK."
"Then I'll take my leave first. There's someone else I want to see, so I won't talk to Director Wang any more!"
Liang Risi stood up and said goodbye.
Anyone else?
Wang Tianlin understood that the other party was not just looking for Huang Shali.
.
The next day!
Li's TV station, inside the shooting studio!
As the producer of this TV series, Mak Tan-hsiung, he was righteously cursing people at this time.
"Where are the people on the street? Can any of you tell me why Huang Shali hasn't come yet despite yesterday's notice being sent out?"
This drama is the first popular TV drama produced by Mai Fangxiong, and he attaches great importance to it.
He understood that his qualifications were insufficient in Li's TV station. If Huang Xizhao had not supported him, he would not have become the production director of Li's TV station.
In order to repay Huang Xizhao, Makoto Hung also wanted to produce a good TV series that could compete head-on with TVB. Fortunately, he did it.
The TV series "Big Sister and the Big Madman" has done it all.
This chapter is not finished yet, please click on the next page to continue reading the exciting content! In the prime time of 8 o'clock, this TV series can compete with TVB's TV series. This is its own success.
But now, just when this TV series is being aired and filming is in full swing, Huang Sally, the soul of this TV series, is actually late.
This was unacceptable to Mai Tanxiong.
"Place affairs, grounds affairs!"
Mai Fangxiong shouted loudly, and the manager of the TV series also rushed over and said nervously: "I just called Huang Shali's home, but no one answered. I wonder if she has come out?
"
This answer did not satisfy Mak Tanxiong, and he asked loudly: "Didn't you check the time with Huang Sally yesterday? Didn't she know that filming would start at 7 o'clock this morning?"
The manager said aggrievedly: "I've already said that. Ms. Huang has never been late or left early before, so we didn't think much about it."
"Huh, I must think that since I'm famous, I don't know how high the sky is!" Mai Tanxiong said angrily.
The housekeeper dare not speak.
After waiting for about half an hour, Huang Shali hadn't come to the set yet. Mai Tanxiong threw the script in his hand on his chair and said angrily: "Send someone, send someone to Huang Shali immediately."
Find her at home, I don’t care what she is doing, she must bring her to me within an hour!”
"Yes!" The steward did not hesitate and responded quickly.
Another hour passed and the steward came back, but he was the only one who came back.
"Producer, there is no one at Miss Huang's home. We knocked on the door for a long time and no one came out."
Mai Tanxiong: "Puniam!"
At this time, Xiao Ruoyuan, the screenwriter of this TV series, came to Mai Fangxiong's side and whispered: "Ah Xiong, why do I feel that something is wrong?"
Mai Fangxiong was furious at this time, and he said angrily: "What can be wrong? Isn't it just that people become famous and then become popular?"
Xiao Ruoyuan said: "That's not the case. Huang Shali is not a newcomer. How could she not know the importance of this? Moreover, I have never heard of Huang Yali arriving late and leaving early in the circle before. Is it possible?
Could there have been some accident?"
When Mai Fangxiong heard what Xiao Ruoyuan said, he was also a little silent. He and Huang Shali had not been cooperating for a day or two. Before that, he was very satisfied with Huang Shali's professional attitude. Indeed, there had never been any problems.
.
Now that Pingbai can't disappear, something is indeed wrong.
"you mean?"
"I think the most important thing now is to find Huang Shali. Only by finding Huang Shali can we know the truth of the matter. We can't solve any problems just by being angry here."
Xiao Ruoyuan advised.
Mai Fangxiong now also knows that this can only be the case.
The director of the TV series was immediately summoned and said: "First shoot the parts without Huang Sally. When she comes, call me immediately!"
The director nodded and said: "Okay."
Afterwards, Mai Fangxiong and Xiao Ruoyuan returned to the office building of Li's TV.
"Haha, isn't this the producer Mai Fangxiong and the screenwriter Xiao Ruoyuan? You two are not on the crew of "Big Sister and the Big Madman" watching the filming, so why are you back at the company?"
After Bill Clifford met Mak Tan Hsiung and Siu Ruoyuan, he preached neither salty nor bland.
Mai Tanxiong snorted and said nothing. Xiao Ruoyuan smiled and called: "Deputy General Manager!"
When Bill Clifford heard the words 'deputy general manager', he also snorted coldly and turned around to leave.
"Let's see how long you two can be arrogant."
Bill Clifford, who made a complaint, came to the studio of the building, which is where some variety talk shows are filmed.
What we are going to record now is actually Li TV’s news program tonight.
These programs are also run by Bill Clifford.
Today’s news program will cover news about the film rating system to be launched by the Hong Kong Film and Television Department and the Hong Kong Film Festival.
As the program he values most, Bill Clifford comes over every day to check on the recording.
What surprised Bill Clifford was that when he came to the studio today, he saw that the recording had not started yet. You should know that in the past, recording had already started here.
"What's the situation? What's the situation?"
Bill Clifford preached into a very disgruntled crowd.
When the program director saw Bill Clifford walking in, his expression suddenly became frightened, but he still walked over carefully.
"The host hasn't come yet!"
"What?"
Bill Clifford was stunned. The show was about to start recording, but the host hadn't come yet?
"What's going on? Where are the others?" Bill Clifford said angrily.
"I don't know. I have contacted her many times, but no one answers the phone at her home. I have sent people to her home to look for her. I believe the other party will be here soon!"
The program director preached in a low voice.
Bill Clifford said angrily: "How did you do it? Do you still want to do it? Do you think you are somewhat famous and you don't know how high the sky is?
Believe it or not, I will replace all of you right now?"
Do not believe!
The program director murmured in his mind, "If we remove them all, what will happen to the program? Will we open the skylight?"
Bill Clifford also knew that this was impossible, so he could only say angrily: "Find me someone quickly. If the broadcast of today's program is delayed, everyone's bonus for this month will be deducted!"
After saying that, Bill Clifford left here.
And this matter soon reached Huang Xizhao's ears.
"What, not even the host of the news station came?"
Huang Xizhao was extremely surprised after hearing the news.
Mai Fangxiong and Xiao Ruoyuan, who were sitting opposite him, frowned. Things were getting worse and worse!
