Chapter 230. Star Chaos

readx;

Anyway, after the reporter finished these interviews, "Entertainment Weekly" immediately drafted a review draft, with the headline ------ the short-lived "Exaggeration", and there are no new works in the music industry!

Subtitle: The big waves in the HK music scene, no new work, that is, death!

"Through this period of interviews, for many HK fans who like the song "Exaggerated", disappointment is their biggest feature. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. biqUgE怂 info After a week of suffering, I originally thought that Chen Xiaotang would take advantage of the victory to chase the record on the basis of the popularity of "Exaggeration", but everyone was happy, because there was no half a sentence on the wireless side to be sure, and Chen Xiaotang avoided it. What does this attitude say, maybe this "Exaggeration" is just a divine comedy left in the world, and it was picked up by Chen Xiaotang......"

"The popularity of a song has emerged endlessly in the music world. We never question the difficulty of a newcomer in the music industry trying to break through, but we also never question the possibility of a flash in the pan. Today's Chen Xiaotang, in the eyes of many people, may be a meteor in the music world, a week ago was very dazzling, very flashing, and even full of light----- but now, we must face the facts----- he is a meteor that has passed, there will be no more miracles, and there will be no new songs beyond his own "Exaggeration"! ā€

As soon as this report from Entertainment Weekly magazine was published, it immediately caused an uproar in the entire HK music scene.

First of all, some of Chen Xiaotang's fans protested together against this irresponsible remarks and speculation. In their hearts, Chen Xiaotang's style of singing "Exaggeration" has long been deeply imprinted, and that kind of uninhibited and enchanting makes them unable to extricate themselves. They are very eager for Chen Xiaotang at this time to stand up and loudly denounce these irresponsible remarks, proving that he Chen Xiaotang is by no means a short-lived singer, he has skills and strength!

Secondly, there are some friends who have a good relationship with Chen Xiaotang, such as Liu Dehua, Liang Chaowei, Zhou Xingchi, and a few of them, who are very angry and anxious. Angry at the untargeted and nonsense of these gossipy remarks, anxious Chen Xiaotang's forbearance and immobility, sitting firmly on the Diaoyutai. Especially Zhou Xingchi, who is the most three-eight, is even more indignant about this matter.

"What kind of bullshit monk grew up eating shit? What his uncle's flash in the pan, I see that he is full of food and is underwhelmed! He has never seen epiphany, it is estimated that he has only seen smallpox, twist, and broccoli in his life! Zhou Xingchi became more and more angry the more he spoke, and directly pulled Liang Chaowei and said: "Let's go, let's find a hornet's nest and throw it at his house, and see if he is still a fart in seclusion!" "If it weren't for the persuasion of Liu Dehua and others, it is estimated that this Indian star would have really gone.

In the end, some upstarts in the entertainment industry who had already seen Chen Xiaotang unpleasantly and were jealous of his popularity, they cheered and were encouraged. Look, hurry up and see, what does it mean to climb high and fall hard? What does it mean to wear a hat with a big head? Do you really think that he Chen Xiaotang is a god, he can sing such a heavenly song, now he is a first-class star, and the glory of the moment does not mean eternity!

Tang Zhenye, who was especially squeezed by Chen Xiaotang and couldn't raise his head, was the most happy and inspired, watching Chen Xiaotang's popularity continue to rise these days, he borrowed wine to drown his sorrows, so he had to go to a nightclub to go to a dance hall to buy drunk. Now that he is cheered up and excited, he still goes to the dance hall and the bar, celebrates, everyone drinks as much as you want, I pay the bill! In short, as long as Chen Xiaotang is unlucky, he will be happy!

In addition to these, the singers who were originally more optimistic about Chen Xiaotang also had different attitudes and views.

Tan Yonglin and Zhang Guirong, the kings of the music world, who have been fighting back and forth, have the same opinion, they think that Chen Xiaotang will never be as simple as everyone seems, he must have a trick, saying that he may not surpass "Exaggeration" more blockbuster after taking it out.

And the "Song Saint" rib expressed sighs and regrets, for him, Chen Xiaotang's singing skills are worthy of recognition, but the mountain that he set up all at once is too high, and it is really difficult to pull it up again.

As for Mei Yanfang, who was touring far away on Treasure Island, she also expressed her opinion, but her opinion was----I am not familiar with Mr. Chen Xiaotang, so I will not comment." But his "Pompous" is really good, and I'm going to cover his song on tour.

In the end, it was the turn of the "God of Song" Xu Guanjie, and Lao Xu came out as a top player, so he said an earth-shattering sentence: "This time I am about to open the Red Pavilion concert, I hope to invite Mr. Chen Xiaotang to participate, and I hope he can be a guest singer to help enjoy a song!" ā€

What do you mean?!

The god of song wants to invite Chen Xiaotang to sing?!

Can I listen to Chen Xiaotang's voice again at the Red Pavilion concert?!

Suddenly, everyone understood, or the "God of Song" was sharp enough, just this trick can figure out the details of Chen Xiaotang!

But Chen Xiaotang, will he be on stage?!

Supporter: Yes, he will, he wants to reproduce the style of "Exaggerated"! Enchanting and unbeatable!

Naysayers: What will? At most, sing "Exaggeration" again and eat the old book, otherwise it will be big! In short, the demon has appeared, and everyone is looking forward to it!

…….

At the same time, as a party to this "storm of public opinion", Chen Xiaotang sat in the president's office of TVB as if he had nothing to do.

This time, it was not Shao Daheng who met him alone, there were three people in the room: Fang Yihua, Wang Tianlin and Xiao Sheng.

Under the gaze of the three high-level executives, Chen Xiaotang was not stage frightened, but just looked at Shao Daheng's expression.

Shao Daheng carefully flipped through the script, especially for the places that Chen Xiaotang had revised, he read and watched.

Time is ticking.

The atmosphere in the room was very weird, Fang Yihua, Wang Tianlin, and Xiao Sheng whispered this, Shao Daheng was reading the script carefully, and Chen Xiaotang was sitting precariously, like an interview student, waiting to ask questions.

After a while, Shao Daheng closed the script and said, "Very well written!" ā€

With these four words, Chen Xiaotang already knows that it is definitely a sure thing to start filming this drama.

Sure enough, Shao Daheng handed the script to Wang Tianlin and the three of them: "Let's take a look first, how is this drama filmed?" ā€

Then he turned around and asked Chen Xiaotang: "This drama can be filmed, as for your salary...... Let's temporarily position 500,000 yuan, and after the release of this drama, if the box office is good, I will give you dividends, how about it? ā€

500,000 salary?!

No wonder everyone in HK said that Uncle Six was stingy, so much so that he lost Bruce Lee, not to mention anything else, just to say that now with Chen Xiaotang's own popularity, even if the salary of a drama is 600,000, it is okay, otherwise why would Shao Tycoon sign a three-year contract with him with 3 million before, but Shao Tycoon didn't say anything to death, isn't there still a movie dividend, when the box office is good, I will give more, it sounds like I have done my best.

Chen Xiaotang doesn't care about these things with him, although he also likes money very much and needs money very much, but in his opinion, these things are directly proportional to his popularity, as long as he is willing to work hard, he is afraid that his salary will not rise in the future? !

"Thank you Uncle Six, I'm very satisfied with the 500,000 salary." Chen Xiaotang said a little against his conscience, "But I hope to invest these salaries in this drama." ā€

"Invest in this play?" Shao Daheng was stunned, 500,000 yuan was a drizzle for him, but a newcomer dared to be so bold and directly take out his own salary to play investment, which couldn't help but surprise him. If Chen Xiaotang is a big name like Cheng Long and Zheng Shaoqiu, Shao Daheng can still understand, after all, there is no shortage of money to spend, but Chen Xiaotang's details are very clear to him, in order to sign a long-term contract with him, he has checked his ancestors for eight generations, a family of four lives in a small house, although life is not embarrassing, but it is not rich, but such a newcomer dares to ...... 500,000 is enough to buy a decent villa!

"Have you thought about this?" Shao Tycoon couldn't help but remind.

"Well, after thinking about it clearly, let's do it with this fate, my salary is counted as an investment!" Chen Xiaotang cut the railway. In his opinion, this is like a bet, whether his 500,000 yuan can be turned over depends on whether this drama can sell as much as he guessed. Of course, if you are not popular like in your previous life, you will lose a lot, and you can even say that you are busy working for nothing and have nothing.

"In this case, I will accept your ------ as the director of Fang, you write it down, and Ah Tang's salary will be used as investment funds." Turning around, Shao Daheng glanced at Chen Xiaotang again, "Okay, let's get down to business, do you have anything else to say about this play?" ā€

Chen Xiaotang said: "Yes, the director of this drama would like to recommend someone!" ā€

Shao Daheng couldn't help but be stunned, because he had originally planned to let Wang Tianlin or Xiao Sheng, two veterans, direct.

"Who do you recommend?"

"Director---- Wang Jing!" Chen Xiaotang said very firmly.

This time, Shao Daheng couldn't help but be stunned, and even Wang Tianlin was stunned.

Shao Daheng turned his head, looked at Wang Tianlin and said, "I remember well, that director Wang Jing is your son, right?" ā€

Wang Tianlin: "Yes, it's my family's declining boy." ā€

"How is he filming?"

"This ------" Wang Tianlin really felt that this question was not easy to answer, so he said: "The dog has some talents---- what is the specific, you can ask Director Xiao Sheng." A good trick was smooth, and he directly threw the problem to Xiao Sheng, who had a close relationship with him and would never say anything bad.

Xiao Sheng couldn't help coughing, and said in his heart, old guy, you are really good at prevarication, you must treat yourself to Tuen Mun to eat fried fruit tonight!

"That, if I remember well, our Shaw Brothers company once asked him to shoot a few dramas, and the box office and word-of-mouth are remarkable, especially in terms of shooting speed, which is even more amazing, which greatly saves time!"

Wang Tianlin couldn't help but roll his eyes, this old man Xiao really knows how to figure out the thoughts of the sixth uncle!

You know, if you simply praise Wang Jing's filming for its good box office and good reputation, this is nothing, because many young directors can do this, and now it is HK films entering the golden decade under the guidance of the "New Wave", big directors and good directors emerge in endlessly, Er Dongsheng, Du Qifeng, Wang Jiawei, Liu Zhenwei and other young directors have also begun to emerge.

But the filming speed is fast, which is different.

You must know that the speed of filming is fast, which is equivalent to indirectly reducing the cost, and it can be released at the fastest speed and quickly return the funds, which is more important than any talent in Shao Daheng's view.

In addition, Shao Tycoon has been in the film industry for decades, and he has fought with other film companies, basically winning with "fast action", for example, when Li's TV "Silkworm Transformation" became popular, Shao Tycoon made up the movie version of the finale in four or five days, and the box office sold out in a mess. Therefore, the "fast speed" of filming has always been a proud advantage of Shao Daheng.

Really. This trick is very good for Shao Tycoon's thoughts.

"In that case, let him try, we are old, we must give young people more opportunities!"

After hearing Shao Daheng's words, Wang Tianlin was extremely happy in his heart, and couldn't help but smile gratefully at Chen Xiaotang.

Chen Xiaotang said in his heart, don't be grateful to me, I recommend your son because this drama was originally filmed by him.

Now that the director has been decided, the next step is to choose the actors. Needless to say, Zhang Wuji must be Chen Xiaotang himself to star. As for the other main characters, Zhou Zhiruo and Xiao Zhao gave these high-level executives a bit of a headache. After all, there are a lot of wireless Huadan nowadays, Weng Meiling, Qi Meizhen, Zeng Huaqian, Lan Jieying, Liu Jialing, etc. are not fuel-efficient lamps. But the problem is that who of them is now in the play can not only perform well, but also bring the greatest benefits to the company.

But to their great surprise, at this time, Chen Xiaotang stood up again and said, "Sixth uncle, why don't you consider using newcomers!" ā€

"Onboarding a newcomer?" Shao Tycoon couldn't help but be stunned, "This kind of risk is too great, we are shooting a movie, not a TV series!" ā€

"That's why I suggest a newcomer's ......"

"Oh, why?" Shao Daheng is confused by some authorities.

At this time, Wang Tianlin, Xiao Sheng and Fang Yihua had already understood. Fang Yihua and Shao Daheng walked closest, and said with a smile: "Ah Tang means that we are famous for several Hua Dan in wireless TV series, and now that we want to shoot a movie, we must consider the audience's viewing habits, for example, that Weng Meiling has been stereotyped by everyone as 'Pretty Huang Rong', and that Lan Jieying has also been stereotyped by everyone as 'Lin Chaoying', if they are rashly asked to star in this movie, it will make many viewers unable to come back for a while." Instead of this, we might as well directly select newcomers to play this play, after all, they are like blank paper and easy to train. In addition, we can also cultivate more female stars through this play, why not kill two birds with one stone! ā€

"Yes, we also think Director Fang is reasonable, now we have found a group of newcomers in the wireless training class, especially a few very good girls, it is better to give them a chance and let them give it a try, if it is successful, it is good, even if it fails, there is no loss for the TV station. The most important thing is not to let the audience have preconceived ideas, so as to give everyone curiosity and freshness! Wang Tianlin and Xiao Sheng said.

Shao Daheng understood that at the beginning, he thought from the perspective of an investor and decision-maker, but ignored the perspective of the audience.

"Although there is some truth in what you say, but these girls have not graduated from the training class yet, let alone popularity, how can they attract those audiences to come into the theater to watch the play?"

"This ...... I think that since Ah Tang can make this suggestion, there must be a solution. Wang Tianlin thought for a while and said.

Shao Daheng looked at Chen Xiaotang, "Is that really the case?" ā€

Chen Xiaotang smiled, "Actually, my method is very simple, that is, ----- find a big-name star to make a cameo!" ā€

Shao Tycoon's eyes couldn't help but light up, a star cameo?! Yes, as long as some big stars can be invited to join this film, even if they show their faces alone, they will definitely be able to attract a lot of audiences.

In fact, movies that invite big names to make cameos are nothing new in HK, but today's HK movies are not like the previous life "The Great Cause of the Founding of the People's Republic" and "The Great Cause of the Founding of the Party", which can become popular by relying on the gathering of countless big names, but only a symbolic "friendship cameo", to put it bluntly, it is to rely on personal feelings to make you show your face in the play, you are addicted to the play, I have face, that's all. didn't think about using these people to make the movie popular.

But who is Shao Tycoon, Chen Xiaotang woke him up with a word, since he wants to make a big production, he must have big means, according to his Shao someone's face, inviting some big names to make cameo appearances in movies is simply a piece of cake.

Before Shao Daheng came back to his senses, Chen Xiaotang's next sentence stunned him.

"Actually, I have invited Brother Hung Jinbao to play Zhang Sanfeng!"

With a bang, Shao Daheng only felt a shock in his mind.

Why? Of course he knows who Hung Jinbao is. The first male star of Golden Harvest back then, after the death of Bruce Lee, supported half of Golden Harvest, and even Cheng Long, the super big name of Golden Harvest, was also brought into Golden Harvest by Ang Jinbao back then.

In addition, he is a multi-talented action superstar, from actor to director to film producer. At this time, he had already left Golden Harvest to open his own film company, and filmed a large number of action comedies, such as "Tiger Field Chicken", "Fighting for Life", "Ghost Fighting" and so on. In addition, he also launched comedies, such as the "Lucky Star Series" such as "Lucky Star High Shine". Many of these films are in the category of blockbusters, often collecting more than 10 million box office, making action and comedy the most successful and popular genres of HK movies.

Don't look at him Shao Daheng HK film industry for so long, everyone has to sell him three points of thin noodles, but this Hong Jinbao can not bird him at all, without it, just because people have never received any favor from themselves!

It can be said that in the HK film industry, Hung Jinbao's name is a "golden signboard", and sometimes it is even more effective than Cheng Long and Xu Guanjie.

Shao Daheng was very curious about how Chen Xiaotang persuaded Hong Jinbao to join this play, but according to his identity, of course he was embarrassed to ask, so he smiled indifferently and said: "Okay, very good!" Since that's the case, I won't say much, so let's do it, Ah Tang, you are the screenwriter of this drama and the starring role, I will leave the matter of selecting the heroine to you, you and the director Wang Jing look at it, you don't need to ask me if you have something, you don't need to ask me if you need money, Director Fang will cooperate with them----- remember, work hard, give me a good show! ā€

Shao tycoon actually delegated power and let Chen Xiaotang preside over the matter.

This couldn't help but make Fang Yihua and the others stunned, after all, he was still very young. As the saying goes, if you don't have hair on your mouth, you can't do things well.

Chen Xiaotang didn't think so, after all, he had the overall content of the drama in his previous life in his head, and it was really better to hand it over to others than to give it to himself. After expressing his gratitude, Chen Xiaotang left happily.

Looking at his tall back, Shao Daheng suddenly said, "Isn't it a pity to let him be an actor?!" ā€

Wang Tianlin and the others looked at each other, as if they had guessed something.
