Chapter 178: Scandals and Big Moves

"Qiao Feng, the story that Lin Qingxia has to say."

"Qiao Feng, Zhong Chuhong, Lin Qingxia, the love triangle of the big star."

"Qiao Feng ---- the man behind Guan Zhilin"

"Hugh Hefner --- playboy Qiao Feng in Hong Kong entertainment industry."

"The bully who slept all over the company's actresses"

...................

The lace news broke out unexpectedly.

The lace news about Qiao Feng and Lin Qingxia, Zhong Chuhong, Guan Zhilin and others is endless, and it is a commonplace thing, but such a dense, short-term newspaper and magazine of all sizes are reporting such lace news, and the scope is so wide, it has to be said that it is not an ordinary eye-catching hype.

Otherwise, even if there is conclusive evidence, it is impossible for the media and newspapers to know everything, and even if they do, there will be an order, and there will be a plan to send it out without poking it all out.

And this time it's not just ordinary lace news, but more malicious smears.

Some of them are true, but some of them are made up maliciously, and they are said to be vague words that may be such as they are said to be used to guide the content that is very certain in the future.

So, Qiao Feng is pretty sure it's artificial.

There are not a few people in the film industry who know the relationship between him and Lin Qingxia, but people in the media industry don't know too much, and there has never been so much gossip before.

Needless to say, Qiao Feng, who is considered an enemy, thinks about it, that is, the Golden Princess, the new art city, and the side of Debao Pan Disheng.

Thinking of these two poaching behaviors of their own company's artists, Qiao Feng was even more convinced that these two companies were leading this matter.

The female artists in Hong Kong in the company are naturally indignant, because most of the female artists in Hong Kong who have an intimate relationship with Qiao Feng at this time are not in Hong Kong, except for Zhao Yazhi and Ye Qianwen.

But the matter between Qiao Feng and Zhao Yazhi is very secret, and few people know about it at all, so naturally there is nothing about Zhao Yazhi in this report.

After repeated considerations, Yuan Jieying, who decided to sign a contract with Qiao Feng's company, didn't expect that she would encounter such a bloody thing at the beginning of joining the company, and others would forget it, she had just joined the company, and she was even said to have an ambiguous relationship with Qiao Feng, and it was by sleeping with Qiao Feng that she was praised as the heroine, so she signed with Qiao Feng's company.

Yuan Jieying really couldn't cry or laugh, looking at the reports in many newspapers, plus the conversation between Qiao Feng and Wang Jing that she heard there, Yuan Jieying once again doubted whether her choice was a mistake.

Qiao Feng himself didn't react to the overwhelming scandals about himself in the newspapers.

And even if there is a reaction, his experience will not be able to put the scandal on the occasion during this time.

Just two days before the scandal broke out, a big incident broke out at Shaw Brothers Film Company.

Shaw Brothers has a number of staff whose contracts have expired, but Shaw Brothers has not renewed their contracts with these people, including directors, screenwriters, lighting, sound effects, scene notes, and actors.

As soon as such an unusual thing happened, it was rumored that Shaw Brothers would no longer adhere to the large-scale studio system and would streamline all parties, and not renewing the contract was just a prelude, and there would be layoffs later.

I don't know if it's the rumor that Shaw Brothers released themselves, but the day after the rumors appeared, Shaw Brothers issued a layoff notice.

The layoffs involved departments, the positions were broader, and almost all functions had employees laid off.

The reaction caused by the Shaw Brothers layoffs is huge, which means that the three-legged Hong Kong film industry is about to undergo great changes.

Of course, what doesn't change is after that, and now the most important thing for film companies is to grab people.

If you don't renew your contract, you can rob those who have been laid off.

Shaw Brothers and Wireless can be said to be the star-making machines in the Hong Kong film and television circle, and they are also talent incubation bases.

It can be said that more than 70% of Hong Kong's film and television talents have the experience of working in Shaw Brothers and TVB, and even they were discovered and cultivated by Shaw Brothers and TVB.

Now Shaw Brothers is going to lay off people, and for each company, this is a great opportunity to grab talents and grow their own companies.

In the list of personnel who did not renew their contracts and were laid off this time, the biggest name is a director, and the director's name is Liu Jiaxing.

Liu Jiayu did not renew the contract.

For the first person in Hong Kong martial arts to be promoted from a behind-the-scenes martial artist to a martial arts instructor, and from a martial arts instructor to a director, Shaw Brothers will not renew his contract no matter what.

It's just that Liu Jiayu himself doesn't want to renew the contract, because Shaw Brothers has invested less and less in movies in recent years, especially martial arts films, and the investment in each film is basically no more than one million.

This may have been a relatively high investment four or five years ago, but now it is less than 1 million, even the above may just be the salary of a big star.

How can such a small investment make a good movie?

Shaw Brothers is ready to let Liu Jiayu shoot a kung fu film based on the deeds of the Sande monk and Fang Shiyu's master and apprentice, but the investment can only be given at most 1.5 million.

Liu Jiahua said that he wanted to go to Taiwan to choose location shooting and increase the budget, but he was unsurprisingly rejected by Fang Yihua, Fang Yihua said that our Shaw Brothers films, especially kung fu films, are all filmed on the set, everyone shoots like this, if you Liu Jiaxuan sets a precedent to choose locations elsewhere, then what if others follow suit, can they all agree?

Liu Jiayu took a look, yes, let's not talk about it if we can't talk about it, anyway, the contract is about to expire, I won't renew the contract with you Shaw Brothers, I'll find another way.

Liu Jiayu's decision not to renew the contract was not decided by a moment of brain fever, it was a decision after careful consideration.

In recent years, the development and changes of Hong Kong films are obvious to all, and everyone is tired of watching stage dramas like set martial arts and kung fu movies.

Liu Jiayu, as the first person to be promoted from martial arts to director, has his own pursuits, seeing that the movies made by a rising star like Hong Jinbao are tens of millions of easy to walk, but it is difficult for him to make films of five million, Liu Jiaxuan is too uncomfortable in his heart, this gap is too big to accept.

If Shaw Brothers agrees to increase the budget, Liu Jiayu will still have a heartbeat, because he doesn't feel that he is worse than others, and the reason why the box office is so poor is because of too little investment for objective reasons.

Since Shaw Brothers is unwilling to increase the budget, Liu Jiayu will leave without a little burden.

Lau Ka-hyun left Shaw Brothers, and all the film companies in Hong Kong surrounded him like sharks smelling blood.

Qiao Feng is not exempt from vulgarity, because it is not easy to find a good director who makes commercial films, especially a director who is a martial arts instructor.
