Chapter 141: Weng MM joins
In May 1982, the Miss Hong Kong beauty pageant was entering a hot stage, and the whole Hong Kong was discussing the success of this year's Miss Hong Kong. Pen Fun Pavilion wWw. biquge。 info
But Weng Meiling has decided to give up halfway.
Originally, she participated in the Miss Hong Kong beauty pageant, but she thought that she could take this opportunity to seek a career in a TV station, but recently the newspapers have continuously exposed TVB's low income and poor treatment, which makes Weng Meiling no longer look forward to participating in the Miss Hong Kong beauty pageant as she was at the beginning.
In fact, most of the Miss Hong Kong participants don't care much about TVB's income. Because, many beauty pageant ladies are just using beauty pageants to attract the attention of some wealthy families, and they can be favored by wealthy sons, and then marry a wealthy family as a broad wife.
However, at this time, Weng Meiling did not hold this idea, she just wanted to find a job. Participating in the Miss Hong Kong beauty pageant is just a beauty pageant in the UK, which gives her great confidence. At the same time, because I don't know much about the industry, I think that getting the honor of Sister Hong Kong represents a bright future.
Weng Meiling inquired clearly, even a big star like Zheng Shaoqiu only earns a few thousand yuan by performing a TV series, although there have been continuous drama appointments in recent years, just like that, two or three years of savings can't afford to buy a house. The vase born by Sister Hong Kong is very rare, and even if most of them stay in TVB, they only get two or three thousand a month's salary.
"Really thought about giving up Sister Ya?" asked Shen Dianxia.
"Yes. I thought about it, after becoming a Hong Kong sister, unless I am not ready to engage in the entertainment industry, I can't escape signing a contract with TVB. And TVB's treatment, I've heard a lot about you recently, Sister Fat, it's really not what I want!" Weng Meiling shook her head and said.
"It's okay, if you're still young, you might as well give it a try! I think the new start-up film and television company is relatively good, at least, Boss Lin is richer and more generous than Boss Shao. Although Shen Dianxia, who is a neighbor, is a TVB person, she does not recommend Weng Meiling to jump into the pit of TVB, "Of course, if you encounter difficulties, you can ask Sister Fat for help, but it is not a problem to introduce a crew and play a few less important roles." ”
"Thank you, Sister Fei. Weng Meiling smiled.
Because, with the introduction of Shen Dianxia and Zheng Shaoqiu, TVB's income is no longer mysterious.
The salary of TVB's ordinary employees is only in the early 1,000s, and some who have only signed artist contracts but have been hitting the street can only receive a salary of a few hundred yuan per month. Many veteran program hosts earn tens of thousands of dollars a year.
Those stars who have gained huge fame in Hong Kong, if they go to the film industry to make money, they will earn more than one million a year. But in TVB, these are unrealistic.
TVB has a large number of employees, and it is precisely by taking advantage of this large number of people that it has a strong comprehensive strength compared to its competitors.
For example, Li's so-called ratings soared to 50%, overwhelming TVB, and it was only a time period of less than two hours a year during the release of hit dramas. Moreover, it is not possible to come up with a hit drama that can steadily suppress TVB throughout the year, there are one or two such hit dramas a year, even if it is very good.
It is precisely because of the fact that TVB has a big business and relatively bloated personnel. Therefore, celebrities who can make money can't be allowed to take too much, because if they get too much, TVB won't have the money to support a huge team of employees.
And if you want to streamline the staff, I'm afraid it won't work, because letting people go is tantamount to being an enemy and shaking TVB's competitive advantage.
For those who don't want to make progress, it is a better choice to retire in TVB. But people who are a little self-motivated and see things thoroughly will naturally not choose TVB.
……
After making up your mind.
Weng Meiling took the business card given by Lin Qi and dialed the above number in a nearby public phone booth.
"Hey?" Lin Qi asked, who happened to be in his office.
"Mr. Lin, I'm Weng Meiling, a tenant who rents your house. Weng Meiling said, "Do you remember me?"
"Of course. Lin Qi perked up and said, "I remember to leave a business card for you." ”
"Yes. Weng Meiling said, "Just like your fortune telling before, Sister Hong Kong's beauty pageant process doesn't seem to be too smooth." ”
"Normal. Lin Qi said, "Looking at the beauty pageant standards of Miss Hong Kong, they are basically flight attendant standards. You look at the height of the flight attendants, you know. Too petite and doesn't live up to its standards. ”
"So, I decided to give up the competition behind Sister Hong Kong. Weng Meiling said, "Before, Mr. Lin said, I can go to your company to find a job, is it still valid?"
Lin Qi said: "Of course, Miss Weng is willing to join our company, so go directly to the new start-up film and television entertainment company to report, in the future, our company's film and television entertainment, as well as brokerage-related business, will be handed over to this subsidiary." Rest assured, the income is much higher than TVB. In addition, compared with those smoky companies in the entertainment industry, our company is very formal and will not require any of its employees to socialize and drink with other dirty things. Moreover, in Hong Kong...... There will never be any underworld forces that can force the employees of our new startup!"
With such self-confidence, the new start-up company has continuously recruited a group of veterans to serve as security personnel. At present, there are nearly 300 security personnel in Hong Kong, half of whom are "watching the scene" in its stores and enterprises.
If there is a short-sighted existence that attacks the employees of the new start-up company, the civilized way is to find a lawyer to bring the person back to life.
If the cards are not played according to the rules, then Lin Qi will not hire murderers or the like. At most, there will only be inexplicable neuropathy, and some people will be crippled, but they will never be killed.
Some gangsters in Hong Kong have already learned a lesson. After that, most of the people on the road began to have long eyes, knowing that the people of their company could not be messed with.
In the final analysis, Hong Kong is a capitalist society, and only with money can you do whatever you want. And gangsters like Hong Kong, which are at the bottom of the world's gangsters in terms of combat effectiveness, are simply impossible to compete with capital.
There are few places in the world where the power of capital is so strong that it can do almost whatever it wants. Hong Kong, on the other hand, is a society where capital can do almost whatever it wants.
"Okay, thank you, Mr. Lin. Weng Meiling said.
……
The next day, noon.
Weng Meiling took a taxi to the headquarters of the newly started film and television entertainment company.
"Excuse me, is there anything I can do to help you?" asked a front desk lady with a smile. The company's front desk and signboard have not yet been hung up, and workers are nailing the signboard. But the company's employees have been in place one after another.
"Huh?" Weng Meiling said a little nervously, "I'm Weng Meiling, I have an appointment with Boss Lin, and he asked me to report to the company." ”
"Oh, Miss Weng, the boss is not here. However, General Manager Huang has already given advance notice that if you come, I will take you to meet him. The receptionist said, "Come with me." ”
Weng Meiling nervously followed the front desk, got on the elevator, and went to the general manager's office upstairs.
Compared with TVB or Li's, the scale of this newly established company is not very large, at least, there is not a whole office building.
However, the company has also rented multiple floors in the office building, which not only provides office, but also provides space for rest, training and so on.
Weng Meiling walked out of the elevator and passed by a long corridor, and in one of the classrooms, she saw a dance teacher teaching several teenage girls to dance.
"This is the company's trainees training. The front desk smiled.
"Trainee?" Weng Meiling was puzzled.
"It's a newcomer who has no foundation at all, is in his teens, and has just graduated from middle school. We signed a trainee contract for them, and they only had 500 living expenses per month, and the training was free. Within three months, the unqualified ones are eliminated. After that, it is counted as a formal trainee, and the semester is three years. In the past three years, it can be regarded as providing performance opportunities while studying. The front desk explained, "After having the opportunity to perform and become famous, you can be regarded as an artist who debuts and sign an artist management agreement." If you quit within three years, you will not be allowed to engage in the film and television entertainment industry within these three years. After three years of graduation, we choose whether to sign a contract or not based on their performance. ”
"Do I also want to become a trainee first?" Weng Meiling frowned. This trainee system is almost as demanding as TVB's training system.
"No!" explained the front desk, "the age requirement for trainees is 18 years old, and girls who have just graduated from high school. In this way, even if they are unlucky, they will not delay changing careers. Too old, we don't recommend taking risks. Miss Weng was explained by Boss Lin, and she should have signed the brokerage agreement directly, and the treatment was much better than that of a trainee. ”
Weng Meiling looked at the little girls who were working hard to practice dancing with a little sympathy.
If Weng Meiling understood the situation, she would be surprised that the dance was actually made up by Lin Qi's "friend".
And the dance moves are "Pure Land of Bliss", this dance music, on the Internet later, just appeared on the two-dimensional screen.
The original version of "Pure Land of Bliss" is the Japanese version, and Lin Qi mainly gives covers of the Mandarin version and the Cantonese version, and the lyrics are different from the Japanese version, of course, the effect is inferior to the original version.
However, it doesn't matter, first do the Chinese version, and in the future, gradually launch the copyright of other languages. Create a group of cross-regional and cross-language music combinations.
As the music played, these dance trainees made some strange dance moves, and Weng Meiling soon felt that she couldn't take her eyes off it. Because...... It's so cool! Although the dance is very young, the level of choreography and the music are very attractive.
When Weng Meiling was a child, she liked to dance, and even danced when she heard music. Although it is not so professional, it still has a certain ability to distinguish the level of choreography.
After passing by the hall where she practiced dance, Weng Meiling was impressed by the strength and professionalism of the newly established new start-up film and television company.
Knock!
was introduced into the office, Weng Meiling met Huang Xizhao, the general manager of the new entrepreneurial film and television entertainment company, due to Huang Xizhao's factors, the staff in the new company, at least more than 30 old employees of the original Li TV. Including the former front desk, it is a former staff member of Rei TV.
Because, Li's financial situation deteriorated further, the bank debt was due, Standard Chartered Bank kept urging to repay the debt, and even sued Li.
In order to avoid the company from going bankrupt like Jiayi TV, the current management of Leigh's company can only find a way by deferring the payment of salaries, and at present, Leigh's TV station has announced that the payment of wages will be delayed by three months. This further prompts many employees to leave their jobs directly.
Because Huang Xizhao trusts the old employees who know the roots, most of the employees of Li are recruited by those who do not refuse.
……
"Although it is valued by Boss Lin, I have to explain. Huang Xizhao said, "The company's mechanism is fair competition, and the opportunities given to its artists are almost equal." If you want to be popular and come out, you have to play and perform well. Only by performing better, can there be more opportunities to stand out. ”
"Mr. Huang, I understand. Weng Meiling did not feel angry because of Huang Xizhao's condescending tone, after all, she also knew that Huang Xizhao's status in the industry was Li's general manager in the past.
"By the way, Mr. Lin said that you look more cheerful, very polite, and easy to make friends. But the psychological pressure is relatively high, and there is a tendency to depression. Huang Xizhao said, "If you have any troubles in life, you can talk to an agent or someone else in the company, and when you are depressed, communicate with others more and keep your mood happy, which is the foundation of life." ”
"......" Weng Meiling couldn't help but feel that she was not in the mouth of a tiger, that Lin Qi...... You don't have any special thoughts about her, do you?
Yes, that's right!
She is not as cheerful as she seems, she is often depressed and preoccupied for a little thing, maybe it is really depression.
But Lin Qi has only known each other for a short time, and even, she has met no more than 3 times, how can she know her better than her mother?
Although, it is not denied that Lin Qi has the aura bonus of its successful people, and its attractiveness will be enhanced by more than one notch. However, Weng Meiling has always been reluctant to marry into a wealthy family because of the shadow of her childhood family. Because, Weng Meiling's mother was once a concubine who was not accepted by wealthy families. After his father's death, the family did not provide even basic financial support, forcing Weng's mother to remarry.
"By the way, this is a game advertising endorsement contract. Huang Xizhao took it out of the drawer and said, "100,000 yuan, a one-year endorsement contract for the "Fengshen List". ”
"100,000?!" Weng Meiling's eyes jumped, although Lin Qi had told her about advertising endorsements before, but after Weng Meiling found a new start-up, she only sought a career, didn't think too much, and didn't mention 100,000 advertising endorsements. didn't think about it, the new start-up film and television company had already prepared a contract.
Of course, if it weren't for Lin Qi's explanation, ordinary newcomers would never have such good treatment when they joined.
At present, the treatment of newcomers in the newly entrepreneurial film and television company is that there is no signing fee, and it is not considered a regular employee of the company, and only 1,000 yuan per month is paid a living allowance.
If you want to get the desired income, you need to arrange commercial events and performances by new film and television companies. And for this kind of pure newcomer, the commission is also as high as 50%. As for the duration of the contract, it is as long as 10 years. In other words, if the newly signed artist has not been popular, he will pay a little living expenses for ten years, as well as arrange priority performance opportunities. However, assuming that it is red, the ten-year contract period is absolutely very amazing.
's care for Weng Meiling is not that Lin Qi has any special thoughts about her, maybe, just because of pity.
