Throughout the 80s and even 90s, many Hong Kong films were portrayed as one-sided, ignorant and backward. For example, a very typical example is Zhou Xinchi's masterpiece "The Saint of Gambling", Zhou Xingxing was completely stupid when he first appeared.

In addition, the image of the mainland in the movie is the most Da Quanzi who robbed the gold shop and the Bei Gu who came to prostitution. The role of the Chinese army in Hong Kong movies is all like a uniformed, unscrupulous gangster.

More than half of Hong Kong's 5 million people have come from the mainland in the last 34 years. Everyone's birth is not, who is more noble than whom!

Every year, the mainland pours into Hong Kong through legal and illegal channels, and there are inevitably some black sheep. But people in every country follow the law of normal distribution, and while there are good people, there must also be bad people.

Of course, the smearing of the mainland in Hong Kong movies is, on the one hand, due to the collective anxiety of the whole society about the future after Hong Kong entered a transitional period, so it used the most pessimistic and malicious speculation to vent the feelings!

On the other hand, it is also to adapt to the needs of the export market. Taiwan is Hong Kong's most important foreign market, and all actors and companies that have close ties with the mainland will be ruthlessly blocked by the Taiwan authorities.

For example, Zhang Mingmin, who was invited to participate in CCTV's Spring Festival Gala this year and became popular with the song "My Chinese Heart", has been included in the blacklist by the Taiwan authorities. Any records and movies related to him have been forcibly removed from the shelves in Taiwan.

But Zhang Mingmin is just a small singer who is not famous in Hong Kong. Not to mention entering the Taiwanese market. That's why he dared to go north to participate in the concert without fear of the threat of blockade from Taiwan.

But for many well-known singers and movie stars, they will never risk losing the Taiwanese market. And go to fight with the mainland. On the contrary, many Hong Kong film companies, in order to cater to the political orientation of the Taiwan authorities, will deliberately and vigorously smear the image of the mainland. For them, morality is only worth a few dollars as long as they can earn money.

In Hong Kong, only the ATV Media Group can cooperate with mainland institutions such as China Central Television and Bayi Studios. On the other hand, it is also in a hot fight with Taiwan-Bay China Television, China Film and other companies.

But this is because the boss standing behind ATV is Li Xuan, who has the reputation of "the light of the Chinese". He is a figure that the authorities on both sides of the Taiwan Strait want to win over with all their might.

"Do you still feel used to coming to Hong Kong?"

Li Xuan looked around at the entire small house. Although it is a one-bedroom apartment, the living room is actually very small. An open kitchen takes up half of the area, leaving room for a small square table for eating.

"I feel okay, Sister Fen takes good care of me very much!" He Qing nodded and smiled.

After He Qing and Li Xuan had dinner together in Beijing last time. Zeng Zhiwei quickly called her several times personally. Strongly invited her to go to Hong Kong for development. Bing Xue is smart and can't guess why the other party is the general manager of a big Hong Kong film company, why should he be so polite and enthusiastic to her, a young actor in the mainland.

In fact, she is just a 20-year-old girl, and she naturally has a warm yearning for a better life. In order to film "Shaolin Lay Disciples" before, He Qing had already come to Hong Kong. Although she only stayed in Hong Kong for a few days, she deeply realized that life here is far more colorful than in the mainland!

Zeng Zhiwei is in the name of making movies. Fooled He Qing to Hong Kong. But when she arrived in Hong Kong, she was not in a hurry to make a movie. Instead, she signed a contract with an Asian brokerage first. The Sister Fen mentioned by He Qing just now is the agent arranged for her by the brokerage company.

Then, the Asian brokerage company rented this one-bedroom small house for him, and hired a special teacher for her to learn Cantonese. Although the Asian brokerage company signed a C-level contract with He Qing, she actually enjoyed the treatment of a B-level contract.

The contracts offered by Asian brokerage companies are divided into five levels: A+, A, B, C, and D. In fact, the A+ contract is for popular superstars, A-level is a first-line star, B-level is a second-tier star, C-level is a small star, and D-level is a dragon actor.

Asian brokerage firms generally offer C-rated and D-rated contracts to newcomers. For example, among the dozens of students who graduate from the ATV artist training course every year, only a few of the most promising people have the opportunity to get a B-level contract.

Although He Qing does not know much about the specific situation in Hong Kong, he can also feel that he is being treated very well. This made her feel a little more apprehensive, but what she was worried about did not happen at all, and that person seemed to have forgotten about her.

She has been in Hong Kong for more than a month, and her main task every day is to learn Cantonese. In order to let her integrate into Hong Kong faster, her agent, Sister Fen, also specially introduced her to a friend who was also from the mainland. The other party is a student of the ATV acting class, and he came to Hong Kong with his parents as early as 1980.

"Mr. Li, what do you want to drink, coffee or tea?" asked He Qing politely.

"Don't call me so angry among friends, just call me Ah Xuan! just pour me a cup of cold white boil!" Li Xuan smiled and walked into He Qing's bedroom.

The room is very warmly furnished, and a half-height McDull doll is placed on the pink single bed, which makes the whole room full of girly and cute atmosphere.

He Qing looked at this man with a slightly red face, and walked into his boudoir to look around. But the space in the living room of her house was too small for hospitality, so she had to follow Li Xuan into her bedroom.

"I heard that you're going to ATV's artist training class next?" Li Xuan asked with interest.

"Hmm!" He Qing nodded lightly and handed the other party a glass of water.

He Qing's heart was very entangled at the moment, and he had already begun to let down his vigilance before, pretending to be an ostrich thinking that Zeng Li had called him to Hong Kong because he really admired himself.

He Qing now has a trace of regret in his heart, despising his greed and vanity. And she looked at the man with a faint smile. But she couldn't get angry, after all, the other party was no better than herself, she was not angry!

"Don't you think fate is very wonderful? A few years ago, you didn't choose to study in Beiying. But there is a magical power in the dark that makes you still embark on the path of an actor!" Li Xuan said with interest.

He Qing lowered his head and silently did not speak. Isn't it what you planned for her to refute the other party and lure me to Hong Kong?

"Being an actor requires talent, and I don't have that talent! I was very interested in playing a cameo role in a movie. As a result, he couldn't even learn the most basic moves. Always acting, I stepped out of the camera's range!

If someone else made such a low-level mistake, the director would definitely scold my mother! But he had to pretend to be smiling in front of me. I could only say dryly, 'It's okay, let's be familiar with the lines this time before'! I felt embarrassed to continue to torture the whole crew later, so I had to run away very self-consciously!" Li Xuan laughed self-deprecatingly.

He Qing looked at him and shrugged. I didn't mean to. I couldn't help but laugh out loud. She has also filmed in the crew, and she knows very well that the directors are not very good-tempered on the set.

Even a director with a gentle personality will never give you a good face when faced with low-level mistakes such as actors constantly making mistakes like stepping out of the camera. But in front of this "God of Wealth Li", it is estimated that no director in Hong Kong dares to lose his temper!

Even if you are depressed, you still have to squeeze a smile out of your face. He Qing Li Ke made up for it in his own brain, and the aggrieved appearance of this unlucky director couldn't help but feel very interesting.

She looked up. only to find that Li Xuan had already stood in front of her at some point. With a gaze as warm as jade, he looked at himself quietly. She couldn't help but feel a little flustered, turned her head and didn't dare to look at him, and took a small step back to distance the two.

But He Qing was nervous, lost his center of gravity when he retreated, and was about to fall, but was gently hugged by a broad arm around his slender waist. Li Xuan didn't deliberately take advantage of her, and after helping He Qing up, he let her go very gentlemanly.

The atmosphere in the room seemed to become beautiful all of a sudden. He Qing lowered his head, and his originally fair face was already full of red glow.

At this moment, the doorbell that rang at the door "Ding Dong" helped He Qing to relieve the siege, and she quickly ran out of the room to open the door.

"Love, let's go shopping in Causeway Bay together! Huh, why is your face so red, are you doing something bad in the room?"

Li Xuan stood inside the room and heard another girl's crisp voice coming from the door. Soon a graceful girl walked in with a smile. She saw that there was still a man standing in He Qing's bedroom, and she couldn't help but let out a soft "oh" sound.

She dragged a long voice, and turned her head and winked meaningfully at He Qing. He Qing felt that he had been wronged to death, he and Li Xuan were obviously nothing, but his best friend put on a posture, you were caught by me.

The girl who came in the door was about to smile a few words at He Qing, when she suddenly found that the man in front of her was a little familiar. So she looked at Li Xuan again, and then immediately showed a look of surprise on her face.

"Li Sheng, hello! I'm Liu Jialing from the ATV artist training class!" Liu Jialing hid the shock in her heart, and showed Li Xuan what she thought was the most beautiful smile.

"Miss Liu, hello!" Li Xuan smiled and shook hands with the other party, he already recognized who the beauty in front of him was.

Zeng Zhiwei was really careful about He Qing's arrangement, and specially chose a friend who could speak Mandarin for her. Among the well-known female movie stars in Hong Kong in the 80s, only Liu Jialing and Li Zhi were born in the mainland.

It is not easy for a mainland girl to get along in the Hong Kong film and television industry. In another time and space, when Li Zhi won the crown of Sister Hong Kong, the audience was booed. After joining TVB, Liu Jialing was often embarrassed and discriminated against by others because she couldn't speak Cantonese well.

Of course, in this life, Liu Jialing did not apply for TVB's artist training class, but chose the more popular Asia Satellite TV. Unlike the TVB training course, which only has one year, the ATV artist training course lasts for two years.

Therefore, the curriculum of the ATV training course is more substantial, and the trainees have studied systematically for two years, even if they cannot become a big star, it is not a problem to become a qualified supporting role.

ATV's artist training class only starts recruiting students after the college entrance examination results are released in July every year, and it will not enroll until September. He Qing didn't go to Beiying to study before, but now he will become a student of the 84th class of ATV Artist Class.

Because of the rise of ATV, the Hong Kong film and television industry has been very different from another time and space. TVB failed to dominate the Hong Kong TV industry, and now it can only go to second place, which has also changed the choice of many young people who aspire to become big stars.

For example, Liu Jialing's future husband Liang Yingdi did not go to the TVB artist class, but became a student of the 82nd level of the ATV artist class. TVB's original 83-level three beauties, Zeng Huaqian, Liu Jialing, and Lan Jieying, have now been all wiped out by ATV.

Because the duration of the ATV artist class is two years, Liu Jialing and other people who enrolled last year have not yet graduated and need to study in the training class for another year.

"Love, confess leniently, resist strictly! You honestly explain, what is the relationship with Li Sheng?" Liu Jialing pressed He Qing on the back of the door after Li Xuan left, and then interrogated with teeth and claws.

"I really don't have anything to do with Li Sheng, it's just that I've met twice in China before. Later, he recommended me to Mr. Zeng of the Asian Film Company, and Mr. Zeng suggested that I would come to Hong Kong to develop!" He Qing struggled for a while, but her strength was not as strong as Liu Jialing, so she couldn't escape.

"It seems that you don't need to be tortured, you won't be recruited from the truth!" Liu Jialing said, and began to tickle He Qing's itchy flesh.

"Ah, Sister Jialing, let me go, what I said is true, it's truer than pearls!" He Qing was a little afraid of itching, and after being attacked by Liu Jialing's weakness, he quickly begged for mercy.

"Hmph, do you think I'll believe it?" Liu Jialing said deliberately in a vicious tone, but a trace of jealousy flashed in her eyes.

Liu Jialing is a very smart woman, who took the opportunity to run tricks last semester and met Sister Fen of an Asian brokerage company. Sister Fen turned out to be Tan Guoji's assistant, and later after Tan Guoji joined the Asian agency, she also joined the Asian agency and began to lead artists independently.

Maybe ordinary people are not familiar with Tan Guoji, but to say that these artists in his hands are all famous, such as Chen Baiqiang and Zhang Guorong. Therefore, after Tan Guoji transferred to an Asian brokerage company, he naturally became one of the few gold medal brokers in the company.

Although Sister Fen has been an independent broker for two or three years, she has the support of Tan Guoji, and she does not have a lot of resources in Asian brokerage companies. Liu Jialing was fortunate to meet Sister Fen, so she naturally wanted to hug this thigh.

You must know that after graduating from the ATV artist class, students may not be able to sign 100% of contracts with Asian brokerage companies. Even if you can successfully sign a contract with an Asian brokerage company, if you only hold a low-level contract and do not have a powerful agent to help you fight for various opportunities to appear, it is difficult to stand out in the fierce competition.

Don't look at the fact that the Hong Kong film industry is very prosperous now, with hundreds of movies being produced every year, but good roles are always more monks and less porridge! Liu Jialing understands this very well, so she has begun to plan her future very early.

However, more than a month ago, Sister Fen suddenly called Liu Jialing and said that she should take care of an artist she had just signed. The other party is a girl from the mainland like her, and she will enter the ATV training class as an auditor next semester.

This makes Liu Jialing full of curiosity about this girl!(To be continued......)
