The rumors were quickly confirmed, and the day after Wei Xiong returned to Hong Kong, someone from TVB contacted him and called him directly, and he didn't investigate how TVB knew the phone number of his apartment, and readily agreed to the other party's request to meet and negotiate.

When he came to the café where he had made an appointment, the TVB side had already arrived one step ahead of him, and there were two people, one was TVB's program production supervisor, responsible for the production of non-drama programs, including the annual rookie singing contest. The other is the president of Huaxing Records.

Huaxing Records was established in 1971, which is relatively early, but at that time, Huaxing Records was mainly for TVB to distribute the original soundtrack records of TV series, strictly speaking, it can only be regarded as a subordinate institution of TVB. It was not until 1982 that it began to operate independently.

It was also in this year that Huaxing Records and TVB co-organized the first Rookie Singing Contest, and this year is the fifth year.

exchanged a few polite words, and the first person to speak was the TVB program production producer: "Mr. Wei, I already said on the phone that we are looking for you, we are very sincere, and it is also very beneficial for you to be a judge of the rookie singing contest." ”

Hearing this, Wei Xiong couldn't help but smile slightly, the rookie singing contest is now the most famous singing competition in Hong Kong, and he can certainly increase his exposure by being a judge, but he is now in the limelight, and that bit of exposure is just icing on the cake, and there is not much difference between having and not having it.

On the contrary, with the help of his high popularity, this year's rookie singing contest can increase the ratings, which is the most realistic problem.

"It's not right for Producer Gu to say this, there is never a free lunch in this world, if I go to be a judge, you know best who will benefit. ”

He hates the kind of person who is cheap and behaves the most, but he doesn't want to stiffen the atmosphere, so when he saw Producer Gu's unnatural face, he immediately changed his words: "Having said that, it's good to be a judge once in a while, I can agree, but there is something I want to trouble Producer Gu." ”

The biggest goal has been achieved, and Producer Gu naturally won't mind Wei Xiong's run just now, and said happily: "Mr. Wei just said it." ”

A thick cowhide bag was placed on the table: "This is a movie script, please ask Producer Gu to help hand it over to Miss Fang, of course, it would be better if it could be handed over to Uncle Six." It's that I want to cooperate with Shaw Brothers to shoot this movie, and all the funding is up to me, and what Shaw Brothers needs to do is to fully cooperate with the release of the movie, and finally deduct the production, publicity and distribution costs, and the remaining two parties will be divided into 28. ”

Although Wei Xiong intends to shoot the two scripts he wrote independently, it is not so simple to shoot a movie, especially to shoot a high-level and high-quality film, which requires a large production team, such as photographers, lighting engineers, editors, martial arts instructors, etc.

And there is still a lot of work to be done during the filming process, which is simply an impossible task for him as a layman.

But Shaw Brothers is different, although Shaw Brothers stopped production a few months ago, and the theater chain was rented to Pan Disheng's Debao Films, but all of its employees have not been lost, and most of them have been transferred to TVB; secondly, Shaw Brothers has any equipment needed to shoot the movie, which can help Wei Xiong save a lot of equipment expenses in the early stage; finally, the schedule of the movie release is very important.

With Shao Yifu's face, as long as he speaks, Pan Disheng will definitely have to arrange a good schedule, so that the box office potential of the movie can be fully brought into play. In addition, there are overseas distributions, Hong Kong's Shaw Brothers Cinemas are rented out, but Nanyang's Shaw Brothers Cinemas are still there.

In a word, as long as Shaw is willing to cooperate, all the problems he is facing now can be easily solved.

Producer Gu looked at the kraft bag on the table, and then looked at the president of Huaxing Records beside him, with a trace of confusion on his face, Wei Xiong's topic jumped too much, how could you, a popular singer, think of writing movie scripts?

Is this as the saying goes—not doing business?

I heard that Wei Xiong was a very powerful advertising planner before singing, but advertising planners can write scripts?

After a while, Producer Gu finally came back to his senses and said with a little embarrassment: "I'm sorry, I'm distracted, I'll hand over the script to Miss Fang." ”

Put away the script and put it in your briefcase. Whether he is not doing his job or not, it is none of his business anyway, he is here to invite Wei Xiong to be a judge today, and now the task has been successfully completed. As for the so-called co-making of films, he only needs to hand in the script.

"With a high-level professional like Mr. Wei as the judge, this rookie singing contest will definitely discover more potential singers. ”

The president of Huaxing Records complimented him at the right time.

"Hehe, Mr. Zhou is polite, I think I still have some strength when I want to rap, but if I look at people, I am far behind those seniors. ”

"It should be Mr. Wei who is humble. ”

Mr. Zhou paused: "Some time ago, Mr. Wei said in the Taiwan program that the songs in the second album have been written, and I don't know when it will be released. ”

Wei Xiong took a sip of coffee, with a smile on his face: "The specific time has not yet been decided, what, what advice does Mr. Zhou have?"

"As far as I know, the contract signed by Mr. Wei and Polygram is only for the album "Legend of the Hungry Wolf", I don't know if Mr. Wei is interested in coming to Huaxing Records, I can give Mr. Wei better conditions. Moreover, Huaxing is backed by TVB, which is also more beneficial to Mr. Wei's future development. ”

This should be the reason why the president of Huaxing Records appeared here, but unfortunately he ran away in vain, he never thought about long-term development in the music industry.

Wei Xiong smiled slightly: "I'm sorry, my second album has been signed with Polygram, and Mr. Zhou's kindness can only be left in the future." ”

Mr. Zhou was stunned for a moment, and said helplessly: "It's a pity." ”

He didn't know if the so-called signing was true, but he could feel that Wei Xiong was not interested in Huaxing Records, which surprised him a little.

He hadn't even said the conditions.

"A few days before the game starts, I don't know what I need to do?"

Wei Xiong brought the topic back to the rookie singing contest, he didn't want to have anything unpleasant with TVB because of the question of 'whether to go to Huaxing Records', even though he didn't sign a contract with Polygram for his second album at all. Of course, PolyGram has asked for it a few times.

"You are only responsible for the judging of the semi-finals and finals, there are other people in charge of the preliminary and semi-finals, and the semi-finals and finals are on the 6th and 13th of next month respectively, you can arrange the time first, and we will inform you in advance if there is anything at that time. ”
