Chapter 7 Follow the trend

The former Shaw Brothers were incomparably brilliant, and the Shaw Brothers-style martial arts films were still talked about until later generations, but with Shao Yifu's continuous wrong decisions and the style of doing everything himself, the internal and external troubles finally declined.

If not, in fact, Shaw Brothers can completely dominate Xiangjiang, whether in front of or behind the scenes in the Xiangjiang film and television industry, many of those famous guys came out of TVB from Shaw Brothers.

Even the three bosses of Golden Harvest, Zou Wenhuai, He Guanchang and Liang Feng used to be Shaw Brothers, and Bruce Lee returned to Xiangjiang Province in 70 years and planned to come back to develop, and the first one to find was Shaw Brothers.

After all, the strongest at that time was Shaw Brothers, but because the salary could not be negotiated, Shao Yifu personally pushed Bruce Lee to Golden Harvest, which had just been established not long ago, and also made Golden Harvest rise because of Bruce Lee.

The cold-faced smiling craftsman Xu Guanwen was originally a Shaw Brothers person, but later he turned to Golden Harvest because of the salary negotiation, there are many examples like this, and the Shaw Brothers have come to this point not only for some reason.

Shao Yifu is certainly worthy of admiration, but many places are indeed worthy of criticism, he has too much control over the company, and he is too harsh on his artists.

Whether it is TVB or Shaw Brothers, its artists are big stars outside, and after they go back, they are just ordinary employees, who can only receive a meager salary and live in a simple dormitory allocated by the company, how can they retain people.

On the other hand, Golden Harvest adopts a satellite company system, and its support for big-name stars can be described as sparing, as long as they have the ability, they will support them to set up their own companies, Xu Guanwen's Xu Brothers Pictures, Chenlong's Weihe, and Hong Jingbao's Baohe are all like this.

The two have always been compared, and these big stars are of course more willing to choose the latter, not only with more freedom, but also with more money, who wouldn't be happy?

Now Zhong Chuhong is also facing a similar problem, she signed a contract with Shaw Brothers, but now Shaw Brothers is in this situation, and Shaw Yifu has also begun to think about focusing on TVB, which is very embarrassing for her who hopes to get better development.

Zhang Xiaoye could guess anything, and Zhong Chuhong didn't hide it, so he said: "It's okay to have a little less salary, but now Mr. Shao hopes that I can transfer the contract to TVB, but I have no interest in TV dramas, and I still want to be a movie actor." ”

Zhang Xiaoye really didn't know this, so he said with a smile: "It seems that Shao Daheng values you very much, even if you don't play movies, I still can't bear you." ”

There is a saying in Xiangjiang, no matter how red it is, it can't be Zhou Runfa, and no matter how red it is, it can't be Zhong Chuhong. Lin Qingxia is unstoppable in Taiwan, and when she comes to Xiangjiang, she has to be behind Zhong Chuhong, and it is understandable that Shao Yifu is reluctant to let go.

Zhong Chuhong said: "I don't want to go to TVB on the one hand, and on the other hand, I really don't like the environment of Shaw Brothers, I feel very unsteady and insecure." And it happened that Mr. Shao wanted to renew the contract with me in advance, so I ran over, saying that it was a clean hiding, but in fact, it could be regarded as a statement of attitude. ”

"Well, totally understandable. Zhang Xiaoye nodded, he could really understand Zhong Chuhong's thoughts.

Shao Tycoon is really chilling in many places, and a lot of information in Zhang Xiaoye's mind can confirm this, such as serving the Shaw Brothers for more than ten years, but Dillon, who was covered in injuries, was finally swept out of the house and fell to the point where there was no drama to film.

Because he knows a lot of information, Zhang Xiaoye can be said to know a lot about the behavior of many celebrity tycoons in Xiangjiang, so he can understand Zhong Chuhong's thoughts.

Zhong Chuhong said as soon as he heard it: "It seems that you know more than I think." ”

Zhang Xiaoye said with a smile: "Of course, you also saw that I am practicing singing now, and I plan to be a singer and an actor in the future, how can I not pay attention to things in the entertainment industry." ”

Zhong Chuhong nodded, and said with a smile: "To be honest, your singing is really good, if you release a record, you will definitely succeed, I can't help but want to listen to it now, you can sing it again." ”

"Don't be busy singing first. Zhang Xiaoye waved his hand and asked, "Honggu, how long is your contract with the Shaw Brothers?"

Zhong Chuhong said: "The Shaw Brothers are all long-term contracts, I joined in 80 years, and there are still nearly two years left." Although I don't plan to renew my contract, I still haven't been able to go anywhere for two years. ”

Zhang Xiaoye said: "Based on my observation of Shaw Brothers, as long as you don't transfer the contract to TVB, the problem of renewing the contract when it expires will not exist at all, and everyone knows that Shaw Brothers is struggling now." ”

In fact, even if Shaw Brothers had to sell Shaw Brothers Cinemas in 85, they have always been making movies, but the output and influence are not as good as before, and they are not the same.

After a pause, he continued: "I think, the attitude needs to be expressed, but don't get too stiff with the Shaw Brothers, otherwise it will not be good for anyone." You can not renew the contract, but you can give some verbal promises, such as still making movies for Shaw Brothers in the future, so that you can also exchange the opportunity to make movies for other companies, which is the most beneficial. ”

Zhong Chuhong nodded and said, "This is a good idea, in fact, I have also made movies for other companies before, but the director came forward to borrow from Mr. Shao." ”

"Hong Kyung-bo's people are scary?"

"Do you know again?" said this, but Zhong Chuhong was actually not surprised, Zhang Xiaoye smiled: "Of course, I have watched every one of your movies, how can I not know." If Hong Jingbao helps, this is actually not difficult to solve. ”

Hong Jingbao is well-known in the Xiangjiang film and television industry, and has a good relationship with all film companies, everyone has to give him some face, and correspondingly, he has also made movies for almost all film companies.

mentioned Hong Jingbao, Zhang Xiaoye continued: "Honggu, I have an idea, and I can ask you for a favor." ”

"What's the hurry?" Zhong Chuhong asked curiously, and Zhang Xiaoye said: "I've been thinking of a script, but I didn't write it because I had no way out because of concerns, and now it's good that you send it to the door, I want to show the script to Hong Jingbao through you, and it's best for you to be the heroine." ”

If Zhong Chuhong came forward, the problem that Zhang Xiaoye was worried about would not happen at all, and it could be guaranteed that Hong Jingbao would definitely be able to see the script, and the rest was whether the script could impress him. And that's not a problem at all.

I have been worried about worshipping Buddha before, but now that Zhong Chuhong has sent it to the door, how can I miss it.

Zhong Chuhong was surprised when he heard it: "You can still write a script?"

"When the time comes, you will see, and you will not be disappointed. Zhang Xiaoye said very confidently, Zhong Chuhong was silent for a while and said, "Thank you, in fact, you want to help me, right?"

Although this is a bit of a coincidence, Zhang Xiaoye doesn't mind being so defined at all.
