Chapter 461: The Beginning and End of the Incident

The famous Five Tigers will collectively refuse to renew the contract, which is obviously beyond the expectations of Wireless, and at the same time makes Wireless extremely angry.

In the view of wireless, it was they who cultivated the five tiger generals, and the company spent huge resources in order to make the five people famous, but after the five people became famous, they wanted to cross the river and tear down the bridge and not renew the contract, which is ungrateful, of course, wireless will not admit that there is a problem with their contract.

In the face of such a situation, if wireless compromises, it may encounter more such situations in the future, if every newcomer who becomes famous comes to such a show, wireless will have no control over the artist.

At the same time, the strong refusal of the five obviously violated the prestige of the company and Shao Tycoon, so Shao Tycoon also announced that he would be banned if he did not renew the contract.

So for a while, most of the performance contracts and activities of the five people were canceled, there was no filming, there was no opportunity to show their faces in the news media, and all the information about the five disappeared overnight, and it seemed that they had evaporated in the world, which is the punishment of wireless for disobedient artists.

For the five newcomers who have just become famous, as long as this situation lasts for a year and a half, even if they have too much ability, they will be gradually forgotten by the audience, and finally disappear completely in the passage of time.

Among the five tiger generals, the most popular and the most star-like is Andy Lau.

After Andy Lau graduated from the art training class in 1982, he became popular with the TV series "Falcon" in the same year, and then in 1983, the 83 version of "The Condor Heroes" starring Chen Yulian was even more popular.

Yang Guo and Xiaolongnu starring the two were considered by Jin Yong to be the most suitable performance, and the 83 version of "The Condor Heroes" set a rating record of 62 points, Andy Lau became popular all over Hong Kong with this TV series and became the hottest student in wireless.

At the same time, Andy Lau got involved in the film industry in early 1982 and starred in the film "Running to the Angry Sea" directed by Ann Hui, and was nominated for Best New Actor at the 2nd Hong Kong Film Awards for this film.

Andy Lau, who became popular, began to design his own path after becoming popular on the screen, whether to keep filming TV series like this, or to set his life goals higher, to take into account TV and movies, and become an amphibious actor who can control both screen and screen art?

After weighing it repeatedly, Andy Lau believes that his future is bright and he should put a little pressure on himself.

At the same time, Andy Lau is full of confidence in being a good film actor with the heroism of young people who dare to challenge themselves.

So Andy Lau set a plan of "now, my goal is to hope that both TV and movies will be both", and looks forward to one day being able to fly even higher.

It's no wonder that many people think that making a TV series is much easier than making a movie, if you compare the two, the former is inferior to the latter in terms of requirements for directors, actors, cinematography and many other aspects, and at the same time, both are not the same in terms of remuneration and honorary influence.

Therefore, it is not difficult to understand that Andy Lau, who has already been addicted to the filming of the TV series, puts forward higher requirements for himself.

Just when Andy Lau was confidently preparing for drawing his life blueprint, TVB was also formulating a new plan for the long-term planning of this popular young actor, and they asked Andy Lau to sign a 5-year contract extension with the station as soon as possible, in order to achieve a win-win effect of being more "popular" and Taiwan being more "hot".

However, the young Andy Lau does not want to sign the contract for a 5-year extension, he believes that the renewal of the contract for 5 years is simply tying his own flying heart with a rope, if he signs this contract, how can his plan be implemented?

Perhaps, Andy Lau has a hunch that his career will have a big leap in the past 5 years; Perhaps, he is unwilling to let wireless tie his fate with a long wire.

In short, the arrogance of young people makes Andy Lau ignore his insistence, he does not think about it, and he can't consider what consequences "not listening" will bring to himself.

"All the people who shoot TV series are permanent long-term workers of 'Run Run Shaw'!" , the newborn calf is not afraid of tigers, Andy Lau strongly refused to sign the contract.

In the same way, the other four tigers, in the face of this five-year low-cost contract, are naturally very dissatisfied, but one person is too small against wireless, so the five decided to advance and retreat together, and refused to renew the contract together.

At the same time, the five of them are also preparing to collectively jump ship and enter the film industry, and Andy Lau said that he would take other tiger generals to find a way together.

But the ban on wireless also followed, taking Andy Lau, the head of the Five Tigers, as an example, the original performance of Andy Lau's "Fraternity and Joy in Ten Thousand Homes" was canceled; Andy Lau's "Golden Songs" record and promotional video cannot appear in wireless music programs; The part of the TV series "Hong Kong 85" about Andy Lau's appearance was deleted......

Andy Lau was completely put aside, except for the occasional participation in postal, sports, children's parties and other activities, he had nothing to do all day.

In the eyes of the people, a glorious star that had just risen disappeared without a trace before it flickered a few times.

The young and vigorous Andy Lau also fell into panic and confusion about the future for a while.

How long will this kind of "snow hide" be "hidden"? He didn't want to quit the showbiz and end his artistic life early.

So, he took the initiative to come to wireless, hoping to resolve the conflict between himself and the company through negotiations, however, in the interview with Liu Tianci, who was in charge of artist affairs in the company, they finally broke up due to differences in principle.

This made Andy Lau very nerve-wracking, and he felt a little resentful in his heart.

Therefore, when he heard someone say that he had hoped to reconcile with wireless more than once, he firmly denied it: "I don't even think about returning to wireless, how can I rush up to discuss with Ciguan (Liu Tianci)?" ”

The negotiations did not reach an agreement, Andy Lau's life became even more difficult, and all the film appointments were rejected wirelessly; All the footage was cut out; All outings were blocked; All......

What made Andy Lau even more stunned was that because of the ban on wireless, he lost an excellent opportunity to shoot a movie.

Due to the success of "Running to the Angry Sea", the famous director Xu Anhua intends to cooperate with Andy Lau again, inviting him to play the role of Chen Jialuo, the chief helmsman of the Red Flower Club, in the movie "Book of Swords and Enmity", Andy Lau has already starred in Mr. Jin Yong's "The Condor Heroes" and "The Legend of the Deer and Ding", but both are TV series.

If he can play a role in Mr. Jin Yong's famous work - the movie "Book of Swords and Enmity" and succeed this time, then Andy Lau's desire to break out of the screen and appear on the screen will be greatly advanced.

What a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity! In this way, it was "hidden" by "snow hiding".

In fact, during this period, Andy Lau did not have the opportunity to get rid of the snow hidden, because the news of the refusal of the wireless five tigers to renew the wireless contract caused quite a stir, so when the two sides were deadlocked, Xinyicheng and Golden Harvest both showed that they wanted to sign Andy Lau and Tony Leung, but they were not interested in the other three tigers.

However, Andy is very righteous, and even gambles on his own future, insisting that if others want to sign a contract with him, they must sign it with other tigers, otherwise they will not be negotiated, but in the end, his idea failed to come true, and in the face of Andy Lau's request, Xinyicheng and Golden Harvest finally gave up.

At the same time, Wireless did not completely give up the meaning of the Five Tigers, so it adopted the strategy of breaking the contract and secretly dividing the Five Tigers.

Because Tony Leung, who needs to rely on work to support his family at this time, is conservative and low-key, the senior management of Wireless is determined to start with Tony Leung, constantly persuading him to renew his contract first, and adding additional salary as a temptation.

In the end, Tony Leung was coerced and lured to renew his contract with Wireless first, and after Tony Leung was broken through, the Five Tigers camp collapsed, but Andy Lau still refused to give in and sign the contract, and was continued to be hidden by Wireless.

At this time, Andy Lau was in the indefinite snow of being wireless, and Chen Lang knew that this period was 13 months, a full 400 days.

As a young man who has just tasted the taste of popularity, Chen Lang doesn't know what Andy Lau felt in his heart when he was hit by this major blow, maybe it was chills all over his body, cold like cold in the bone marrow!

However, as a later generation, Chen Lang knew that this snow hiding did not knock down Andy Lau, and this snow hiding incident gave him his first taste of the cold state of the world, and he also learned some principles of not being too willful in everything.

In the days of hiding in the future, Andy Lau, who slowly calmed down, on the one hand sought a way to reconcile with wireless, on the other hand, he straightened his mentality, let go of eating and sleeping in leisure, and raised his body that had been emaciated by desperately filming some time ago to be much stronger, and his weight increased by more than 30 pounds.

On the other hand, he made up for one thing that he didn't have the time and energy to do before, he found the TV videos he had acted in before, watched them one by one, episode by episode, found out his own shortcomings, and wrote them down one by one, and then watched other people's films, and wrote down others' strengths one by one, and then thought, pondered, and improved.

Gradually, Andy Lau seems to have realized some artistic connotations of performance, and his understanding of art has also been greatly improved over time, laying a solid foundation for his later brilliant career.

However, after the end of the snow hiding, Andy Lau still seems to be deeply affected by the shadow of the snow hiding, so he didn't want to work hard, and even reached the point where he took on 13 plays at the same time, for which everyone called him a desperate San Lang, maybe the kind of coldness that no one cared about when he hid in the snow will never disappear.

At this time, Andy Lau should still be full of resentment towards wireless, and he has not completely calmed down, and he feels at a loss for the future.

In this regard, Chen Lang is a little difficult to do, this snow-hidden experience may have caused an indelible shadow on Andy Lau, but it is also this cold blocking period that makes Andy Lau play a vital role in both being a person and thinking about his future interpretation path.

Maybe without this snow hide, there would be no desperate Saburo, and there would be no conscientious and prosperous generation of kings for 30 years.

Chen Lang is worried that because of his influence, he will have a bad impact on this heavenly king whom he admires very much, but he can't turn a blind eye to Leung Jiahui's request, what should he do?
