Diamond Head.

It is named after the shape of a diamond.

In the area from Tai Hom Village to Ox Hill Road in Ngau Chi Wan, a number of studios have been established here, including the more famous Daguan Studio, Jiancheng Studio, and Yonghua Studio, which is now part of Golden Harvest Company.

Hong Kong is known as the Hollywood of the East, and the credit for these sets is indispensable.

Here, Hong Kong's large and small film and television crews gathered.

The camera crew of "Chicken Crossing the River" was buried in it, and the filming lasted nearly 20 days, and it has come to an end.

This drama is invested and filmed by Anle Film Company, with a small cost and small production, which is a test of Anle Pictures' involvement in production. However, it was the box office explosion of "The Bitter War", which made Anle Pictures taste the sweetness, and simply set up another Anle Film Company to produce the film, because it was a pioneering work, and even let the knowledgeable Jiang Zhiqiang hang up the title of producer.

Shaw Brothers' big cast production of "Interstellar Blunt Tire" is admittedly a bad movie, but a bad movie is not without merit, at least in the film, the heroine Zhong Yihong, who imitated Marilyn Monroe covering her skirt and showing off her sexy image, became an instant hit and became synonymous with sexy.

Anle Film Company chose Zhong Yihong, an economical and affordable popular fried chicken, as the heroine of "Chicken Crossing the River", hoping to win a good start with her invincible sexiness.

And the person Huang Baiming is looking for is Zhong Yihong.

Last year, the "Difficult Brothers" of the "Big Pile Performance" of the New Arts City played an all-star lineup, with Shi Tian, Mecca, Zhang Aijia, Zhong Yihong, Lin Tsaixiang, and Tan Yonglin and a group of red stars playing on the floor to catch up with the show. Zhong Yihong, Zhang Aijia, and Huang Baiming are all people with a hearty temperament and are easy to get along with. Love to make friends, and the three of them formed a friendship at that time.

Huang Baiming and Zhang Aijia came to the Jiancheng studio and turned around the costume area. crossed the Republic of China Street, and soon saw the crew of "Chicken Crossing the River", and saw Zhong Yihong wearing a costume and putting on makeup.

The crew knew the two big stars, and when they heard that they were looking for Zhong Yinhong, they were not only released immediately, but also enthusiastically helped shout.

"Honggu, someone is looking for you!"

I heard someone shouting. Zhong Yihong raised her head, but she couldn't help but be stunned when she saw Huang Baiming and Zhang Aijia standing in front of her with a smile. Surprised, he asked, "Hey, why are you here?" I haven't heard that your new art city is opening a new drama here! ”

"I can't look for you if I don't start the show? We're here to see you! Huang Baiming squeezed his eyebrows and said funny. I heard that you are filming here. We're passing by to visit your class. Aijia and I care about you so warmly, don't you feel particularly touched? ”

"The little woman is very moved, do you still want me to make a promise?" Zhong Yi glanced at Huang Baiming with red eyes, and said teasingly, "I'm quite happy to stick to you, but do you dare?" ”

Huang Baiming hurriedly waved his hand and said, "Excuse me, there is a lion roar in Hedong at home." I don't dare to pick flowers outside! ”

Zhong Yihong smiled charmingly. Said: "You dare to say that your sister-in-law is the roar of the Hedong lion, you are dead, the next time you rub mahjong, I will tell her and tell her to clean you up." ”

Huang Baiming was dumbfounded, he almost forgot that they were card friends.

Zhang Aijia saw that Huang Baiming, who had always been articulate, looked deflated, she was immediately happy, and said: "Baiming, you are usually the best at talking, why did you eat deflated at Ah Hong's hands?" ”

"Who called Honggu to make friends, even the god of my family's Lafayette has moved out, can I not accept it?" Huang Baiming teased, "Did you say, Honggu?" ”

When Zhong Xianhong heard this, her jade cheeks couldn't help but flush with a faint blush, and she said: "A few days ago, a reporter from "Film Times" magazine came to interview me, she called me Sister Hong, I don't like such a title, so I asked her to call me Honggu, but I saw that it was cordial, who knew that everyone spread it. ”

Hong Kong's entertainment interviewers all like to call popular stars to be a certain brother and a certain sister, such as Fa Ge (Zhou Runfa), Sanmao Brother (Hong Jinbao), Third Brother (Xie Xian), Sister Zhi (Zhao Yazhi), eldest sister (Wang Mingqian) Artists who add the word "Gu" after their names are rare, and now only Xiugu (Huang Xingxiu) and Lagu (Di Bola) are active.

Zhang Aijia smiled: "I also think it's very kind to be called Honggu." ”

At this time, someone outside shouted: "Miss Zhong, have you put on makeup?" Hurry up, and the next shot will be yours. ”

"Got it, I'll come!" Zhong Yihong responded, looked at the makeup in the mirror, and then said to the makeup artist, "Sister Liu, it's urging outside, it's urgent, I'm afraid it's too late to re-makeup, you can help me make up the makeup." She just arrived from the crew of "Flower Heart", and before she took off her makeup, she immediately put herself into the filming of the finale scene of "Chicken Crossing the River".

Zhong Yihong felt that her head was a little heavy, because of the play, she had slept less than 4 hours a day for five consecutive days, she couldn't help rubbing her faintly swollen temples to ease her tiredness, and then brewed a cup of strong coffee with boiling water to wake up.

The most taboo thing to drink water during filming is that during filming, someone will suddenly call the card and run to the toilet. Therefore, Zhong Yihong just took a sip to refresh herself, and did not dare to take a few more sips.

Zhang Aijia noticed that Zhong Yihong's good-looking eyes were full of deep dark sockets, and couldn't help but ask with concern, "Are you okay?" Seeing that you are so tired, you should not have had a good rest for a few days, but don't be tired! ”

"Don't worry, this little hard work, cough cough, I can endure it." Zhong Yihong frowned, suddenly coughed, coughed a few times in a row, and then asked, "By the way, what is the matter with you looking for me?" Are you looking for me to shoot a new drama? ”

"You still want to take on a new play? If you are willing to fight for your life, your body will collapse! As one of the "Struggle Seven" of Xinyi City, Huang Baiming stays up late a lot, but he usually works hard for a while, so he has a good rest.

It is common for actors to stay up all night while filming, and sometimes even sleep for three or four hours for several days in a row.

But after filming, everyone will make up for sleep and take care of their bodies, and someone like Zhong Yihong who is crazy about playing may be more common in the future, but now it is very rare.

"One of you is a big boss, the other is the most expensive actress, and I. It's just a vase, which is used as a backdrop during filming. Zhong Yihong smiled self-deprecatingly and said very depressedly. I don't take on a few more dramas while I'm young now, save some money, and there will be no filming in the future, how can I live? ”

Hong Kong's film and television is still a man's world, and actresses have always been used as vases in men's plays, and the only breakthrough performance is made. is still the man's wife played by Zhang Aijia in the self-destructive image of "Best Partner". Zhang Aijia's salary for a film is 300,000 Hong Kong dollars, more than Zhao Yazhi's 250,000 and Lin Qingxia's 280,000. is currently the most expensive actress, there is no one.

After "Interstellar Blunt Tire", Zhong Yihong's salary gradually stirred up, and he filmed a drama from 50,000 yuan. 130,000 now. has almost tripled, and it's no wonder that she will take advantage of the high price to take on a few more films.

"It's time for me to play, let's talk first." Zhong Yihong confessed and hurriedly ran to bury his position.

Huang Baiming said: "It seems that we are not here at the right time! ”

Zhang Aijia glanced at him and said, "I remember that someone said that he had to come to the door to invite him to show sincerity!" ”

"So, I think we should find a stool and sit and wait!" Huang Baiming sneered.

Zhang Aijia: ""

．．．．．．

"Zhang Sheng, there is your call, it's from Hong Kong!"

"Hong Kong?" Zhang Shaoping was puzzled. After he arrived in Hong Kong from New York, he immediately finished handling the affairs of the company in Hong Kong. It is said that there should be nothing that needs to be decided by him, "Ah Hu, when you reply over there, just say that I am not free for the time being, and ask him to call again in half an hour." ”

When he said this, Zhang Shaoping was changing into work clothes, and accompanied by Guan Xiaoxiao, he visited the work workshop of the toy factory.

His toy factory, nicknamed the Shadow Play Toy Company, is located in Shekou, Shenzhen, with 20 production lines and nearly 1,000 workers, and is only smaller than the neighboring Kaida Company.

At this time, 20 production lines are running at full power, and all kinds of toys are continuously produced from the assembly line, and then sorted, inspected, loaded, and transported to the warehouse for warehousing. Soon, these toys will be loaded onto cargo ships and freighters and shipped to all parts of the world.

Zhang Shaoping's original intention was that all 20 production lines were used to produce cabbage dolls, but the sales of cabbage dolls and Transformers had just started, and the sales volume was not large, and there were too many 20 production lines, which was a pure waste. At Roberts' suggestion, the toy factory began to take orders and diversify production, and several types of toys have been produced.

Chen Feihu was sent away, and Zhang Shaoping continued to "patrol" the workshop.

Because it is produced by assembly line, all the processes are strictly in accordance with the process of division of labor, taking the puppet as an example, the steps are drawing, cutting, canvas, stitching, cutting, flipping and filling to the last step. The focus is on filling, that is, filling the puppet toy, which needs to be adjusted evenly by hand, and repeatedly extruded after making sure that the stuffing is full, and finally taken to a special machine for stamping. This work is hard work, and it is usually done by strong men.

"Workers used to be idle, but now the work intensity is so high, can they adapt?"

"The factory uses two shifts of working hours, and if you don't work overtime, the intensity is not too large. Because the time is still short, no one has expressed dissatisfaction, but we will pay attention to the mood of the workers and communicate with the union as soon as possible if there is any opinion. ”

Knowing that Zhang Shaoping attaches great importance to the sense of belonging of the company's employees, Guan Xiaoxiao did not dare to be careless, communicated and discussed with Roberts many times, and kneaded Zhang Shaoping's humanized management culture and wolf business philosophy into the toy company and thoroughly implemented it.

With the deepening of opening up, there has been a wave of migrant workers on the mainland, and there is even a saying that "east, west, north, south, and middle, make a fortune to Guangzhou. East". Although migrant workers are rolling in, everyone who does business knows that these workers have no sense of belonging to the enterprise at all, and job hopping is commonplace.

And companies that can't retain employees are hard to grow.

Even, for Zhang Shaoping, corporate culture is the foundation of a lifetime, and the number of benefits is only a temporary gain or loss

Shadow Toys Company Administration Building.

On the 5th floor, in Guan Xiaoxiao's office, Zhang Shaoping was reading a newspaper.

This is a Transformers comic published in the supplement of "Global Chinese News".

In Hong Kong, there are two common ways for comics to be published for the first time: one is to publish in pictorial magazines, commonly known as doll newspapers, and the other is to publish them in newspaper supplements. Supplements, which are broadly divided into three categories in Hong Kong newspapers, are novels, comics, and essays. Novel supplements, in "Ming Pao" is martial arts, in "Oriental Daily" is Fengyue, in "Sing Tao Daily" it has become love, but only comic supplements are rare, only scattered, often published in the newspaper with single-frame comics.

In addition, when manga serialization became very popular, it was published in a book and released in the form of a magazine.

Just two pages of comics, Zhang Shaoping quickly finished reading it, Guan Xiaoxiao just wanted to ask for opinions, and saw Chen Feihu knocking on the door and coming in to pass the word: "Zhang Sheng, the secretarial department has a call for you again, from Hong Kong." ”

Zhang Shaoping got up, grabbed the newspaper, and said, "I took this newspaper, go back and take a closer look." You asked all the colleagues in the comic studio to relax and create, just say what I said, the painting is good, continue to work hard in the future, and are not afraid of a temporary downturn in sales. ”

In addition to R&D, production, sales and publicity, and financial departments, the company also has two studios affiliated to its subsidiary, the comic studio and the animation audio-visual studio.

The Transformers comic series was created collectively by comic studios. (To be continued......)
