Chapter Ninety-Four: Chen Baisheng who came to the door

Nothing in this world can be avoided from two things, one is money, and the other is fame.

Every industry has a small circle, and if you want to enter this circle, you can either use a huge amount of money to open a hole, or be brought in by insiders, and slowly accumulate fame. In addition, there is another kind of person who suddenly becomes popular like a dark horse, and his fame soars, and then he enters this circle inexplicably. Most of these people are popular and pass away, the rise is staggering, and the speed of the fall is as short-lived as a meteor.

Han Tang Fengxing clothing company was a dark horse at this time, and suddenly broke into the fashion industry.

Zhang Shaoping has a few catties and taels for himself, and he knows that as a crossing party, he has always believed that mastering a large amount of future information is a great weapon, and in a period of time, God can block and kill God, and Buddha can block and kill Buddha, but when the butterfly effect gradually ferments, it is still talent that must be relied on in the end.

A self-aware crossing party is the real crossing party, and a crossing party that must bow down to everything, when the advantage is no longer there, will die a miserable death.

The fashion appreciation of later generations opened a golden finger, which prompted the birth of the popular clothing series of the Han and Tang Dynasties and began to become popular all over the world, which accumulated enough fame for Zhang Shaoping. Many talented design talents in fashion design have come here, including many young talents who have become well-known and up-and-coming in the industry.

Among them, Tan Yanyu, Zhang Tianyan and Liu Beiji are the best.

When it comes to fashion design, Zhang Shaoping has left it alone, and only when there is a serious disagreement among the designers in public, he will provide non-professional reference opinions. However, talents have quirks, and they firmly believe that their creative ideas and design styles are the best, and they will definitely be popular all over the world.

It is not terrible to have differences, but what Zhang Shaoping is afraid of is that these people simply broke up and left one after another, which is the biggest loss of the company.

"It's time to talk to them." Zhang Shaoping stomped his feet and muttered to himself.

Even if we talk, it's over tonight.

There were a lot of guests, Guan Xiaoxiao came to "invite someone", Zhang Shao straightened her collar and asked her: "Am I particularly handsome tonight?" ”

Guan Xiaoxiao said insincerely: "It's very handsome!" ”

"More handsome than Zheng Shaoqiu and Xu Guanjie, right?"

Guan Xiaoxiao's answer made Zhang Shaoping fall down: "People are handsome, Zhang Sheng, you are handsome in clothes." ”

Zhang Shaoping said: "Haven't you heard, it depends on how the person looks, three points look at the dress, and seven points look at the clothes." All in all, I'm pretty handsome. ”

Guan Xiaoxiao laughed out loud, his boss has always spoken crookedly, but he was sarcastic, with a gun and a stick, and pointed to the snobbery of the world.

"Hehehe, I'm finally willing to laugh!" Zhang Shaoping said with a smile as he walked, "It's his fault that the other party doesn't cherish you, why do you have to pay for the pain of the mistakes he made?" Look at the opening point, and the child still has to live the same. ”

Guan Xiaoxiao was silent for a moment and said, "Zhang Sheng, I want to go to the mainland, is there still a shortage of people over there?" ”

"Huh?" Zhang Shaoping glanced at her in surprise, and then smiled: "It's good to change the working environment, the distance produces beauty, maybe things will take a turn for the better." ”

"Thank you, Mr. Zhang!"

Guan Xiaoxiao is grateful to Zhang Shaoping, although he is very strict at work, he is very talkative in his usual life, and he cares about his employees very much. He will take care of every staff member in need.

I remember that a month ago, there was an employee of Dayang Trading Company who had just joined the company, because of the heavy work, his mother-in-law was seriously ill, and he had to take care of the family, and he was overworked and fell down the stairs. The employee spent a lot of money on sending his wife to the hospital, borrowed it from relatives and friends, borrowed it to the end, and begged Guan Xiaoxiao's head to advance his salary. At that time, Zhang Shaoping was still in the mainland, and when he heard this, he immediately ordered that the company would reimburse the employee's wife for how much money she had been treated, and only tell the employee to work with peace of mind.

Regardless of whether Zhang Shaoping is a daughter buying horse bones or putting on a show, at least Guan Xiaoxiao thinks that he is very humane.

......

......

In Hong Kong, engaging in literature and art, culture, cultural creativity and the like are basically cross-border play.

Chen Guanzhong won't talk about it, he will play everything. The remaining three minority shareholders in Dingsheng are also talented, such as Qiu Shiwen, who worked as a screenwriter and a personnel manager at Li's TV station, and now not only writes and edits, but also plays music and takes the professional accountant exam. Another example is Liu Tianlan, she is the 78-year-old Miss Vancouver Chinatown champion, has been a contracted artist of TVB, a part-time film production assistant and assistant director, and now she is more diversified, in addition to holding the two magazines "Outside" and "TV Times", she is still practicing singing, and it is said that she wants to be a singer.

Seeing that various cultural figures came to cheer one after another, Zhang Shaoping was very proud, but after acquiring the magazine "Outside", he earned a lot of talents, and this business is worth it even if he sticks money to make money.

Needless to say, Michelle is a must-go. There are also Zhou Yanfa, Tan Yonglin, Wang Mingquan, Zhang Aijia, Zhong Yihong, Luo Wen, Zhang Yurong, who have filmed popular clothing advertisements in the Han and Tang Dynasties, and of course they also attended.

Cai Yongchang of Golden Harvest, Mecca and Huang Baiming of New Art City, Li Zhuanglie of ATV, and even Wireless also sent Wang Tianlin and Xiao Tao to go through the motions. This is also a helpless thing, these people make films, and the Han and Tang Dynasty popular clothing companies provide a lot of sponsorship and design.

"Haha, Ah Ping, I'm here!"

can say hello so aggressively, except for Wang Jingwang and Wang Fat, there is no second person in Hong Kong.

As soon as Zhang Shaoping finished talking to senior film critic Shi Qi, he turned around and didn't take a few steps, but Fei Jing shook his fat meat, smiled and squinted a pair of small eyes, and walked over with a fart.

"You're such a big lump of Roshan, I saw it, you don't need to remind me." Zhang Shaoping and Wang Jing touched their wine glasses and sarcastically mocked him lightly.

Wang Jing's cheekiness has been practiced to the point of invulnerability, a little sarcasm, he doesn't care, he said with a spring breeze: "Ah Ping, it's really you, the business is so big!" I'm ready to start making a new movie, when are I going to sponsor it? ”

"Let's talk about it when you start filming!" Zhang Shaoping said angrily, his eyes shuttled through the crowd, searching for Chen Guanzhong's figure.

Wang Jing followed Zhang Shaoping's gaze, picked up the beauties and looked at them, and introduced from time to time: "The woman in the blue dress is Taiwan. Liu Lanxi, who came from the bay, just acted in Shaw Brothers' "Evil and Evil Again". Well, that group is a model, the most beautiful one has not seen it, her name is Ni Shiqi, and the legend says that she is Zhang Rongrong's girlfriend. Choose! A flower is stuck in cow dung. Oh, that ......"

Speaking of these glamorous women, Wang Jing is like a few treasures and tells them eloquently.

Ni Shitong, Zhang Shaoping is of course no stranger, her own clothes have been asked to go to the fashion show several times, and she is currently a hot model. As for Liu Lanxi, Zhang Shaoping has never heard of it, but he has been famous for a long time in "Evil and Evil Again". The director's name is Gui Zhihong, he first filmed the movie "Evil", and saw that the box office was good, and then filmed "Evil Fighting Evil", then "Evil Curse", and then "Evil After Evil".

"Fatty, I'll be with you first, where are you going to stay comfortably!" Zhang Shaoping found someone, and he didn't have time to listen to Wang Fatzi's chatter, so he patted him on the shoulder, and wanted to slip away.

Wang Jing hurriedly grabbed Zhang Shaoping and said, "Don't! I'm not done yet. ”

"If you have something to say, let it go!"

"Ugh! That is true. Wang Fatzi leaned over and whispered: "Your Princess Xiangxiang misses you strangely, why don't you go and comfort others!" ”

I rub! This is Zhou Runfa's first wife, I comfort a fart! Zhang Shaoping scolded: "Dead fatty, what are you talking nonsense!" If you mess up the mandarin duck spectrum again, I'm in a hurry with you! ”

"No, she really has a crush on you!" Wang Fatzi said seriously.

"I don't have time to talk to you!"

Seeing Zhang Shaoping walking away quickly, Wang Jing looked innocent and said to himself: "She really has a good impression of you, and I didn't say it." Choose! You guy is more anxious than me when he sees a woman, there's no reason why you don't like Yu An'an! ”

The person Zhang Shaoping was anxious to meet was not Chen Guanzhong, but the two people Chen Guanzhong wanted to introduce, Shu Qi and Chen Baisheng.

When you hear the word "Shu Qi", everyone will definitely think that she is the popular actress and actress in the 90s.

Zhang Shaoping is like this, when he first heard the name "Shu Qi", he also glanced at Chen Guanzhong strangely, thinking, how did this guy run to the stage. Wan found the actress surnamed who is still a little Lori.

After explanation, I found out that I had made an oolong.

This Shu Qi is famous in the circle. He wrote film reviews for newspapers and magazines when he was in high school, and was later admitted to the English Department of the University of Hong Kong. After graduation, he first stayed in Jiayi TV, and after Jiashi went out of business, he switched to Golden Harvest as an assistant director and screenwriter, during which he single-handedly founded "Film Fortnightly".

He is also another representative of the Hong Kong film industry after Zhang Che, "judging and excellent editing, editing and excellent directing", and won the International Catholic Golden Award for his first directorial "Two Little Guesses" in 81.

It's just that after Shu Qi made the movie, she felt that she was both a director and a screenwriter, in addition to the work of the editor-in-chief of "Film Fortnightly", she also had to do program planning for the Hong Kong International Film Festival.

And the talented person who took over the position of editor-in-chief from Shu Qi is none other than Chen Baisheng.

This guy is even more legendary.

In '77, he was still a civil servant, working in the middle of the day and working as a volunteer editor in the evening for the biweekly "Big Close-up". In addition, he is also the chairman of the Firebird Film Club, and often takes the younger brothers of the film club to rent a venue from the Hong Kong City Hall, well, to watch literary films. These literary and artistic films are all rented from foreign countries, and they require both rent and freight, and the quality of the copies is not guaranteed, but this group of literary and artistic young people are crazy about it.

During this period, Chan went to the City University of England to study for a diploma in arts management, which opened his eyes at the London Film Festival, and after returning to his post, he submitted a proposal to establish the Hong Kong International Film Festival. Then, the Hong Kong International Film Festival was born gorgeously.

Seeing that Hong Kong movies are becoming more and more popular, but there are no awards and ceremonies of their own, so they feel that they have a heavy responsibility on their shoulders, and immediately made up a Hong Kong Film Awards, saying that it is for filmmakers in Hong Kong.

What is Movie Fortnight? Few people know, and few people watch it, and the Hong Kong Film Awards it made should be unattended. On the contrary, Chen Baisheng not only fooled Shao Yifu with his three-inch tongue, but also Hui Shiren, who works in the ICAC and is also the chairman of the Hong Kong International Film Festival, and the three major film companies of Golden Harvest, New Arts City, and Shaw Brothers are not lacking.

"I've admired the daimyo for a long time! Fortunately! Fortunately! ”

Under Chen Guanzhong's introduction, Zhang Shaoping happily shook hands with these two famous strange people.

After talking for a few words, Zhang Shaoping knew the intention of the two and asked for help.

Not to mention that the Academy Awards, which were just held once, can't find sponsorship, and even "Film Fortnightly" can't open the pot, and it can hardly support it.

Zhang Shaoping frowned and asked, "Isn't your magazine doing a good job?" Why did you suddenly say that you can't do it? ”

Shu Qi and Chen Baisheng rubbed their hands a little embarrassed, embarrassed to say, Chen Guanzhong interjected: "Everyone has bought our "Film Times" magazine, and the sales of "Film Biweekly" are getting worse and worse, and if there is no sales, there will be no advertising revenue......

Needless to say, Zhang Shaoping also knows that advertising revenue is the lifeline of publications, and without advertising revenue, there will be no life, and the street will be fixed.

But Zhang Shaoping was still puzzled, and said: "No, the audience positioning of "Film Times" is fundamentally different from that of "Film Fortnightly", how can it be possible to grab food, even if it is to grab food, it is to grab the readers of "Galaxy Pictorial", "Silver World" and "Hong Kong Film and Painting", right?" ”

The Galaxy Pictorial of United Arts Publishing House mainly reports on Chinese films, and does not pay much attention to Cantonese films. Founded by Liu Lingfo, a correspondent of the Central News Agency in Hong Kong, "Silver World" is different from the "Galaxy Pictorial", which focuses more on text content, it is famous for publishing beautiful photos of female celebrities, and most of them are reporting stations. Bay Chinese film. As for Hong Kong Film & Pictures, this is a magazine owned by Shaw Brothers, and it is one of the first few film magazines in Hong Kong to report and introduce foreign films, including European and American films.

In addition to these three magazines, there are also two "official" magazines, Shaw Brothers' "Southland Movie" and Golden Harvest's "Golden Harvest Movie".

There are five magazines in total, all of which are relatively popular. But generally speaking, because of homogeneity, "Film Times" can only grab readers of the same magazine.
