Chapter 35: Andy's troubles

Zhou Yunfa was really drunk at noon that day, and the last thing was Lin Youlun and Zhong Chuhong who sent him home together.

Zhong Chuhong and Zhou Yunfa usually do not have any scandals, but the two often film together, and it is inevitable that there will be some rumors in and out of the play. Fa Ge's mother was a little unhappy at first when she saw Zhong Chuhong coming to the door, especially when her son was drunk like this. Fortunately, Zhong Chuhong didn't come alone, and when she saw Lin Youlun, Fa Ge's mother's face finally improved, but she didn't leave the two of them to sit for a while.

After Zhou Yanfa woke up, he asked about his mother, and complained that she listened to the wind and rain, if it was just Zhong Chuhong, it would be okay, and Honggu would not care about this, but Lin Youlun was a "nobleman" who could help him transfer, and his mother was so snub to others, Zhou Yunfa felt very uneasy in his heart.

He made a phone call to Zhong Chuhong, but Honggu told him that Lin Youlun had other things to do at that time, and he didn't plan to stay in Zhou's house longer, so Zhou Yunfa was relieved.

As soon as I put down the phone, the doorbell rang.

"Andy?"

Zhou Yanfa looked at the depressed young man outside the door, and didn't think that he would come to the door at this time.

"Brother Fa, there is something...... I'd like to discuss it with you. Liu Dehua hesitated to open his mouth, for this visit, he thought about it for two nights.

"Come in." Zhou Yunfa glanced out of the door, and when he saw that there was no one else, he called Liu Dehua to his house to talk.

The two sat across from each other at a square table, as if a dark cloud was hanging over their heads, as if they were holding an umbrella above their heads. Liu Dehua had a glass of water in front of him, he lowered his head slightly, his eyes kept staring at the water glass, and he didn't know how to speak.

In the era when Zhou Yan was red through half the sky, Liu Dehua was just a little actor who played tricks. When he received the notice that he could play a killer in "Crocodile Pool" starring Zhou Yunfa, his mood did not fluctuate, he had played too many small roles like this, and he had no feeling anymore.

Unexpectedly, this became the beginning of the acquaintance between the two.

Just after filming a fight scene that day, Liu Dehua sat alone in the corner to rest, and Zhou Yunfa took the initiative to come over and chat with him, praising him for his good skills and encouraging him to work hard.

After a few scenes, the two of them felt like-minded and chatted more deeply.

Once Liu Dehua told Zhou Yunfa about the depression he had not encountered. Zhou Yanfa opened his sleeves and showed the Rolex gold watch on his wrist to Liu Dehua: "Everything has a process. The most important thing in being a human being is to have confidence in yourself; The second is to work hard. As long as you work hard, one day, you will also have a Rolex watch, and you will have everything. ”

Soon Zhou Yunfa recommended Liu Dehua to star in "Running to the Angry Sea" directed by Xu Yuhua, which was a huge success at both the box office and film critics, and Liu Dehua also had the idea of entering the film industry.

Zhou Runfa has the grace of knowing Liu Dehua, and Liu Dehua has always regarded him as the goal and example of his efforts.

"Have you thought about the consequences of doing this?" It was Zhou Yanfa who spoke first to break the silence.

"The big deal is that I have no income this year, and I am not allowed to film, I can still be a singer in the industry, and I will not starve to death." Liu Dehua has a temperament of not admitting defeat in his bones, and his words are inevitably a little young and vigorous.

Zhou Yunfa shook his head, "Things are not as easy as you think. ”

"But I felt like I was wasting my time if I stayed at Wireless. Even if I become a pillar, I don't have to work hard from 9 to 5, honestly do a job, and then be like a puppet, food, clothing, housing, transportation, and even joys and sorrows are all controlled by the company, this is not the life I want. In front of Zhou Yanfa, Liu Dehua never hid his ambitions. …,

If Hong Kong in the 80s was a bit like Hollywood in the twenties and thirties of the 20th century, then TVB was undoubtedly an increasingly mature dream-making mechanism, under which a number of hard-working and ordinary-born children won opportunities and became admired idols by virtue of their hard work. Liu Dehua and Huang Rihua, Liang Chaowei, Miao Qiaowei, and Tang Zhenye are also called the "Wireless Five Tigers", representing the success of TVB's first collective star-making, and the company has spent a lot of effort on these five young people, and naturally hopes to keep them for a long time.

At the beginning of this year, Wireless asked Liu Dehua to sign a 5-year contract, but Liu Dehua did not agree. TVB's artists have long been angry at the company's unfair treaties, and Liu Dehua has become the tipping point for this anger. Several other people in the "Wireless Five Tigers" supported Liu Dehua in their own way, Huang Rihua was only willing to sign a single episode of the series, but refused to sign a long-term contract, and Miao Qiaowei also publicly stood up to support. The gun shot the first bird, and Wireless listed Liu Dehua and Zhang Manyu, who also resisted fiercely, as key targets.

Zhou Yan persuaded earnestly: "Directly confront the company, you must be the one who suffers." If you are really refrigerated by the company, how many viewers do you think will remember you after a year? You should be a singer, what if you don't succeed? When the time comes, I'm afraid the company won't give you any more good looks. ”

"Is there no other way?" Liu Dehua clenched his fists, and his throat seemed to be holding a raw persimmon, feeling hard and astringent.

Based on his own experience, Chow Yun-fat gave Liu Dehua a suggestion: "You can try to discuss with the company to see if you can sign a contract of about 2 years, and it will be much easier to change it to a department contract after it is over." ”

Liu Dehua covered his face in pain, "This time the matter is too big, the company will not give up so well, unless someone helps me speak." ”

"So you're coming to me?" Zhou Yunfa shook his head helplessly, "Andy, it's not that I won't help you this time, it's really that I don't have the face to persuade the company's senior management to let you go." ”

Zhou Yanfa's words completely shattered Liu Dehua's last hope, and his face seemed to be brushed with a layer of white ash, dead and white. Lips twitched. It seemed that he wanted to say something, but finally nothing came out.

After a long time, Liu Dehua stood up silently and said goodbye and left.

When he was sent to the door, Zhou Yanfa suddenly remembered someone.

"Andy, I know someone, maybe he can help you with this."

This sudden turn of events made Liu Dehua gasp for breath with excitement, and his heart beat like someone was beating a drum, but he quickly forced himself to calm down. He knew that things were not so simple, otherwise Zhou Yanfa would not have endured it until now to speak.

"The day after tomorrow, the man asked me to go to his house as a guest, and when the time comes, you and I will come with me, and I will help you intercede with him, but I don't guarantee that the person will agree, because even I still owe the other party a favor."
