In May 1985, Humen Film and Television City Company was officially established, and the film crew of "Opium War" was also established at the same time.

It can be said that the preparation of the film crew is still relatively busy, for example, according to the costumes and props of people from different walks of life.

Also, it is to restore the ancient towns and buildings, although these projects are projects of the film and television city, but the crew wants to shoot a good film, and even needs to participate in the construction of the film and television city in the early stage, and put forward some design suggestions and requirements.

Of course, this blockbuster is more demanding than traditional historical dramas, and after the establishment of the "Opium War" crew, it has continuously hired experts at various levels such as history, folklore, military, architecture and so on.

In the words of director Li Hanxiang: ""Opium War" is the most tiring film I have made in many years!"... Later, after director Xie Jin finished filming "Opium War", his vision for historical films and military films was also several levels higher, and various historical and military films at home and abroad made him shake his head, feeling too childish and not rigorous.

Because there are many buildings and props that are not yet in place, even if the crew has money, they cannot be afraid immediately, but they need to constantly polish the script, and the crew members also need strict training and learning.

Take the screenwriting team as an example, not only the two directors participated in the screenwriting, in addition, the crew has a bunch of first-class writers and screenwriters, in addition, history, military, ethnicity, architecture and other aspects have been taken into account, and the main personnel who participated in the creation of the crew have more than 0 people, and the number of experts who provide professional help is more than 1,000 people.

Such a script, even decades later, the new start-up film and television company remakes. In the end, I still have to take out the original script, but I just changed the lineup and remade it.

Later, this script was even regarded as a textbook for historical war films. Many directors who want to pay tribute have to read this script dozens of times.

Of course, even if the technical conditions are better in the future, due to price inflation and labor costs, there will be an infinite increase.

Even if the technology is more advanced, it is difficult to replicate a classic like "Opium Wars". ...... when the crew of "Opium War" was busy preparing, Leung Ka-fai, who was setting up a stall in Hong Kong, was also approached by Huang Xizhao, the general manager of a newly established film and television company.

At that time, Leung Jiahui was already very proficient in setting up stalls, because, since last year, after winning the actor at the Hong Kong Film Awards, he was pressured by Taiwan to write a letter of repentance and promise not to cooperate with the mainland again.

Subsequently, Leung Ka-fai resisted the pressure, but lost the drama appointment. Since last year, there has not been a contract for a single film, and no company has been willing to invite him to perform commercially.

Although he is not yet poor to the extent of sleeping on the road immediately, Liang Jiahui has indeed gradually fallen into an economic crisis because of unemployment, and it is indeed boring to be bored at home.

So, he went to the night market and set up a stall to sell handmade leather bracelets made by himself. This period of time was the lowest ebb of Leung Ka-fai's career, and he was obviously recognized as the best actor in the industry, but he couldn't get any drama appointments.

However, his stall business is okay, because he was still popular before, both a blockbuster and an Academy Award actor.

Therefore, even if he relies on some fans who recognize him to save face, the stall business is better than the surrounding stall owners.

At the same time, Leung Jiahui also gained love, it was during the time of setting up a stall that Jiang Jiannian, who worked as a producer on Radio Television Hong Kong, was a fan of Leung Ka-fai's fan sister, and found that his idol was in trouble, so he often came to help and enlightened him.

Later, Jiang Jianian also tried to let him go to Radio Television Hong Kong to broadcast radio dramas, so that although he couldn't show his face directly, he could still find a job on the edge of the entertainment industry.

Later, the two gradually got along, although life was not very rich, and even quite embarrassing, when Liang Jiahui got married, his wallet was only 8,000 yuan.

The two just don't hold banquets, don't alarm anyone, get married in a low-key manner, and have been together for decades, which can be called a model couple.

"Mr. Liang, do you really plan to set up a stall for the rest of your life?" Huang Xizhao also felt emotional when he saw Liang Jiahui.

Graduated from the Hong Kong Polytechnic University, he received professional training in the wireless training class, and he has been playing unimportant tricks since his debut, and finally survived to shoot "The Burning of the Old Summer Palace" and "Listening to Politics with the Curtain", which became an instant hit.

However, because of the ban by Taiwan's Ministry of Culture, most film and television companies in Hong Kong did not dare to give him a contract.

"If I can act, of course I do. Even if I am asked to play a small foot, I will play the lowest salary. However, no one needs me anymore, and I haven't received a new drama appointment for more than a year!" Leung Ka-fai said with a wry smile.

You must know that actors rely on fame to eat, and many actors can't wait for a few movies to be released so that the audience will remember him firmly.

Like Leung Jiahui, there have been no new movies released for more than a year, even if he was red and purple before, his popularity during this period has also been lost.

Moreover, even if the ban is far from over now, it is foreseeable that most of the film and television investors in Hong Kong will not be able to give him a chance!

"Mr. Huang, Jiahui is very talented. Jiang Jiannian, the actor's little fan sister, said on the side,

Huang Xizhao smiled and said: "Mr. Liang, the companies under our new venture are all on the blacklist of the Taiwan market. Including but not limited to our Pangu computer, Phoenix arcade, handheld game console and film and television works produced by our new film and television company. Basically, if you sign a contract with us, you will go all the way to the end, and basically you don't need to think about such a thing as the Taiwan market, the Taiwan market does not exist for us! If you are mentally prepared, then I have a very good big contract for you!" Leung Jiahui thought for a moment and said: "I am just an actor, if it is simply acting, no problem." Huang Xizhao said: "Of course I invite you to act! Moreover, you are the leading actor!" Subsequently, with the encouragement of Jiang Jiannian, Leung Jiahui agreed to the play contract.

Of course, for fear that Liang Jiahui would be fooled, Jiang Jianian also helped him review the contract. has been a producer of Radio Television Hong Kong, although he is not a big man, but at least he knows the contract better than Leung Ka-fai.

However, the amount on the contract made Jiang Jianian feel sluggish - a fixed salary of 10 million Hong Kong dollars?

Alas, 10 million, the currency unit of the Hong Kong dollar?!! this astronomical remuneration directly refreshed the record of the highest salary in the Hong Kong film and television industry.

In the past, there was never a big name who could get such a high salary, in fact, now he can get a salary of 000000, which is already a superstar with a top salary in Hong Kong.

Mr. Huang...... Is there a mistake with this, is the salary wrong?" Liang Jiahui also felt shortness of breath, you must know that when he was acting in "Burning the Old Summer Palace" and "Listening to Politics with the Curtain", he was not yet popular.

The two plays are actually played together. After the performance, he returned to Hong Kong for release and skipped the Best Newcomer at the Academy Awards with the performance of the two dramas, and won the Best Actor directly.

should have been after becoming famous, you can rely on fame to get a higher salary. However, since fame has been banned, this is also the reason why it has lived a long period of embarrassment in its original history.

But even the previous box office results of "Burning the Old Summer Palace" and "Listening to Politics with the Curtain" were good, and they won awards.

However, the salary is not worth 10 million Hong Kong dollars?

"First, the movie "Opium War" you participated in is a blockbuster that the boss decided to make, and the starring role of the blockbuster should have a blockbuster salary. Second, "Opium War" can't be filmed in a few months, at least two or three years, during this period, your only job is to study and act in the crew, and you are not allowed to participate in other commercial activities, so it is equivalent to three years of salary, assuming that Mr. Liang is not blocked, a movie is 500,000 yuan, and it should be no problem to make 20 movies in three years. Third, our boss appreciates you and thinks you have backbone. An actor with backbone will definitely not be mediocre in the future. Huang Xizhao listed the reasons and said,

"Of course, in the end, I have to say, you're lucky! If it weren't for hearing that you were banned, our boss would not have thought of inviting you to make this blockbuster. It can be said that you kid is lucky, and you will be blessed by misfortune!" After listening to Huang Xizhao's explanation, Liang Jiahui still felt as if he was dreaming, it was too unreal!

10 million! Earn 10 million in three years, if it were that easy, there would be ten times more people acting in Hong Kong!

But in fact, there are not so many people in the Hong Kong film and television industry, plus the behind-the-scenes personnel, there are tens of thousands.

The film and television industry market is so big, divided by the size of the employees, it is known that the vast majority of employees do not make much money.

Even big stars, in fact, can't compare with the executives of some big companies. And those who can earn 10 million in Hong Kong, even in the business world, can be called the emperor of part-time jobs.

Run your own business, or you can be the boss of hiring hundreds of people.

"Mr. Liang doesn't have an agent now, right?" asked Huang Xizhao.

"Yes!" Liang Jiahui smiled bitterly, after graduating from the wireless company, he mainly played tricks. After that, I met Li Hanxiang to film in the mainland and chose him as the starring role.

I didn't choose to mix in wireless, and of course, there was no agent. It is precisely because of this that when something happens, there is no company to support him.

"Do you want to sign a brokerage contract?" asked Huang Xizhao.

"Paying 20% of the income as a brokerage fee allows the broker to help with some chores. "Because the brokerage department of the new start-up film and television company does not force the signed artists to only participate in their own company's films.

On the contrary, the brokerage business is open to the whole world, as long as the project is reliable, reviewed by the company, and the contracted artists themselves are willing, then they can take on outside dramas.

It seems that the artists of the newly started film and television company only participate in their own company's dramas on average, and 70% of the time is through the agent to receive the requirements of other companies.

It is precisely for this reason that the entertainment industry is not afraid of new start-up film and television companies monopolizing artist resources. And many artists feel that the newly started film and television entertainment company is really good, which can provide more opportunities and reduce some trouble for themselves.

As a result, the newly started film and television entertainment company has naturally become the largest brokerage company in Hong Kong. Of course, there are also some artists who do not sign economic contracts with new start-up film and television companies because of the pressure of blocking in Taiwan.

Liang Jiahui doesn't matter, anyway, whether he signs an economic contract with a new start-up film and television company or not, he will be blocked.

Looking at Jiang Jianian beside him, Liang Jiahui thought for a moment and said, "Miss Jiang, I hope to ask you to be my agent." "I roughly understand that half of the brokerage fee is for the agent, and it is better to let Jiang Jianian earn it if he gives it to a broker he doesn't know.

"What?" Jiang Jianian was not only stunned.

"This period is a low point in my life, but fortunately, Miss Jiang often comes to enlighten me, for me, she is simply the salvation and angel of my life. Leung Ka-fai took the opportunity to confess and said,

"So, Mr. Huang, if your company agrees with Miss Jiang to be my agent, then I will sign the contract!" Seeing Liang Jiahui's confession and Jiang Jiannian's shy expression, the people and pedestrians who set up stalls on the whole street looked at the excitement and said: "Together, together!"

"Haha!" Huang Xizhao said,

"Miss Jiang, if you are willing to be Leung Jiahui's agent, you can report to our company. RTHK ...... Well, there is no need to resign, and soon RTHK will be one with us. "RTHK is a very old radio station, and it was the most influential media in Hong Kong before television became popular.

Because, almost most families have bought the radio and listened to the radio programs of Radio Television Hong Kong, and its news, radio dramas, and songs have become the programs that many people love to listen to.

Of course, with the development of the times, the commercial market for wireless broadcasting is becoming more and more declining. However, at present, the entertainment tools in the car are still mainly broadcast.

In addition, Lin Qi believes that the broadcasting platform has some new market positioning. For example, in the promotion of music, many people first hear the music on the radio, and then start to buy records.

There are also radio dramas, which can also be used as a test for TV dramas, movies, and animations. The cost of making a program into a radio drama is extremely low.

Using this kind of low-cost radio drama to test the market reaction, if you receive a lot of positive feedback, then further adaptation of the radio drama into animation, TV series and movies will be less risky.

It is precisely because of this market value that the new start-up film and television company decided to invest 100 million Hong Kong dollars to buy all the shares of Radio Television Hong Kong.

As an organization directly under the Hong Kong government, RTHK is a little twisted, but 100 million yuan in cash is still too powerful.

Eventually, the public media, which was directly under the control of the Hong Kong government, also fell into the hands of Hong Kong's largest capitalists.

In short, Jiang Jianian finally agreed to become Liang Jiahui's agent, but because of Liang Jiahui's confessions, she was a little flustered.

Of course, in the end, the two still came together, because, due to the needs of filming, Liang Jiahui came to the mainland and filmed until 87.

As the agent Jiang Jianian, he naturally went to Humen Town to accompany him, and the relationship between the two has been heating up, and after filming "Opium War", the two announced that they had received a marriage certificate in Hong Kong.
