Besides, Chen Xiaotang took the gift he bought and went straight to Shao Daheng's mansion. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ļ½ļ½ļ½Uļ½Eć ļ½ļ½ļ½ļ½
got out of the car and looked there, Chen Xiaotang couldn't help but be stunned.
I saw that in front of Shao Daheng's house, all kinds of cars were parked, and the people who came in and out were basically the executives of Wireless and Shaw Brothers.
Because it is the New Year, these high-level people have a rare opportunity to come to Mr. Shao to greet the New Year and contact feelings.
After all, he is holding the job bowl given by others, whether he can hold it or not, in addition to his own strength, he must also have the skills to maintain contacts.
Fu Bo, who greeted the guests at the door of the mansion, knew Chen Xiaotang and knew that he was a very popular student on the TV station, and the sixth uncle explained that if he came, he would let him go in first.
There are still many people waiting at the door, most of whom also know Chen Xiaotang, but everyone thinks that they are high-level and don't pay much attention to this "actor". But immediately, they were dumbfounded, only to see that this "actor" actually surpassed them and went directly to Shao Daheng to pay New Year's greetings......
What does it mean? This abnormal phenomenon made everyone's hearts beat up, could it be that the sixth uncle and his old man attached great importance to this young man?
It is not unheard of to go from an actor to a high-level in wireless and Shaw Brothers, maybe people will soar in the future......
Thinking of this, these high-level people who have always been above the top began to make up their minds that they must make good friends with this Chen Xiaotang in the future, after all, it is better to bully the pulsatilla than to bully the poor youth!
In Shao Daheng's living room, the sixth uncle and his old man looked happily at the purple sand teapot that Chen Xiaotang gave him.
"Hmm. Very good. It turned out to be a boutique in purple sand! Tang Tsai. You've got a heart! ā
You must know that Old Man Shao rarely praises people, and such a sentence is enough to make some high-level people outside beautiful. However, Chen Xiaotang felt that it was not worth it, he spent 30,000 oceans, only in exchange for such a sentence. Pick, a big loss.
Just when Chen Xiaotang was crying out for loss in his heart, Old Man Shao beckoned someone to take out his treasured tea leaves and said that he wanted to try the taste of this teapot himself.
Suddenly, the tea leaves have been brewed in the teapot, and the aroma is overflowing in the boiling water.
Seeing that the tea was boiling, Chen Xiaotang politely wanted to take the tea that helped the sixth uncle and his old man.
"Huh. I'll do it anyway! Shao Tycoon smiled slightly, "People are old, and they can't do too heavy work, so it's still okay to pour tea and water......"
Goo-doo. Pour a glass of water seven points full.
As the saying goes: pour tea only seven points full, and sift tea in front of the enemy.
In addition, why does pouring tea only need to be seven points full, just like being a person, leaving three points of leeway, just like the blank space in an ink painting, pay attention to taking a step back...
Shao Daheng's method of pouring tea is very old-fashioned, and it looks pleasing to the eye, at least Chen Xiaotang believes that he can't do this kind of realm by pouring tea like this.
"Hehe, taste it, my tea. But Fujian Da Hong Pao. Although it is not grown on the six tea trees, it is also unavailable on the market, and if it weren't for the verification of your purple sand teapot today, I would not have taken out this tea leaf. ā
Shao Daheng refilled the purple clay pot with water, and muttered in his mouth, Chen Xiaotang had also heard of the reputation of the big red robe tea he was talking about.
It is said that in the Hongwu year of the Ming Dynasty, a man went to Beijing to take the exam, and when he passed by Wuyi Mountain, he suddenly fell ill and had unbearable abdominal pain. Coincidentally, he met a monk in Tianxin Yongle Temple, and the monk took the big red robe tea he had in his possession to drink with him, and the pain stopped. After winning the top prize, he came to thank the monk and asked about the origin of the tea. After learning about it, he took off his red robe and circled the tea bush three times and draped it on the tea tree. Hence the name of 'Big Red Robe'. The champion took the big red robe in a tin can and brought it back to the capital. After the champion returned to the court, the queen was sick, and the hundred doctors were ineffective, so he took out the can of tea and offered, the queen gradually recovered after drinking, the emperor was overjoyed, and gave a red robe, and ordered the champion to go to the Nine Dragons in person to drape on the tea tree to show the dragon's grace, and at the same time send someone to take care of it, and all the tea was collected to pay tribute, and it was not allowed to be hidden. Since then, Wuyi Rock Tea Da Hong Pao has become a tribute tea exclusively for the royal family, and the reputation of Da Hong Pao has also spread to the world. Legend has it that every year the officials sent by the imperial court wore a big red robe, and the robe was untied and hung on the tree of tribute tea, so it was called the big red robe.
Of course, the reason why Da Hong Pao is particularly interesting is not only because it tastes excellent when used to make tea, but also because in the future, this tea will be auctioned in the market, and 20 grams will be auctioned at a sky-high price of 156,800 yuan, creating the highest record of tea unit price! Such a rare tea, ordinary people can not see it, let alone appreciate it.
Hearing that Shao Daheng said that this is Dahongpao tea, Chen Xiaotang paid attention to it, but this tea tasting is really not something that can be learned in a while, he drank it in his mouth, and it seemed that he was not in the street teahouse, and the tea brewed by those tea artists tasted good.
After a little tea, the main event begins. Shao Daheng first explained very tactfully that the company did not come forward to help Chen Xiaotang settle the negative public opinion not long ago. Then Shao Daheng said: "Ah Tang, the company values you very much, I hope you can understand our hardships." ā
Chen Xiaotang said with a smile, of course he understands.
Immediately afterwards, Shao Daheng had a showdown and said: "Now that your contract has expired, you refused to sign a long-term contract last time, young man, I can understand, I like to pursue freedom..... but this time I hope you can accept it, because I have opened enough conditions for you!" He clapped his hands lightly, and saw someone come over with a contract.
"Let's take a look at the conditions, what do you think of the conditions?" Shao Daheng picked up the teacup very firmly and took a sip.
To be honest, a matter like this should have been handled by his subordinates. However, Shao Daheng is very interested in Chen Xiaotang, a young boy. After all, being able to turn things around in a short period of time, sweep away his scandals, and rise to a higher level of popularity, this shows that this young man is very scheming and means, and he is definitely not an ordinary person.
There are not many characters like this who have created an era of entertainment with their popularity, and Hong Kong only has Bruce Lee artists; Shao Tycoon is very curious, can there be such a genius again?!
Chen Xiaotang picked up the contract and took a look, as expected, this time the wireless company was bleeding heavily, and actually signed a five-year contract, totaling 10 million Hong Kong dollars! Other words. Chen Xiaotang only needs to be willing to sign this contract. can get a salary of at least 3 million Hong Kong dollars a year, according to the contract, this does not include filming dividends.
15 million, which is about 50 million today, is definitely a big deal for TVB.
Shao Daheng tasted the tea very firmly, looking at Chen Xiaotang, he believed that as long as Chen Xiaotang was not a fool, he could tell the difference between good and bad. Know whether you should sign this contract or not. You must know that artists are actually the same as stocks, there are times when they rise and fall, and their popularity is booming. Many companies rush to ask you to film, and when your popularity is poor, you can't take a drama in three years.
Therefore, many artists even hope that a film company or TV station can contract them and calculate their income according to their annual salary. Especially those impetuous young artists, who are usually lavish and spend a lot of money, and this kind of one-time payment of tens of millions of contracts for him for five years can definitely bind him.
Of course, Shao Daheng is a genius who runs a film and television business. He never trades at a loss. In his opinion, Chen Xiaotang's personal popularity still has a lot of room for improvement, as long as he digs well, he can create 100 million in five years!
An investment of 10 million is definitely a drizzle compared to the income of hundreds of millions!
It was quiet throughout the room.
The last time Chen Xiaotang refused to sign a long-term contract, but at that time, the increase in wireless was only one million a year, and now it has tripled, even those big names have to be tempted.
Time passed slowly.
Shao Tycoon was still leisurely tasting the big red robe.
Chen Xiaotang read the contract over and over again. I have to say. This contract is really tempting, and the most important thing is ---- security!
You don't have to take risks, you can make 10 million in five years, and you don't know how many dividends.
Chen Xiaotang is also a human being, and he also has a strong sense of risk.
Took a deep breath. Chen Xiaotang neatly put the contract back on the table, and then said, "I'm sorry. Uncle Six, I still can't sign it! ā
Shao Daheng, who was sipping tea easily, couldn't help but be stunned, to his surprise, "Why?" He asked.
"Because I'm going to start a company!" Chen Xiaotang finally told the reason.
"What?" This time, Shao Daheng, who has never changed his face, was really surprised.
He has always thought that he has seen through Chen Xiaotang's ambitions, which is nothing more than making a name for himself in the entertainment industry and gaining fame and fortune. But he never expected that he still underestimated the young man in front of him.
"What you said is true?"
"Well, yes, my company's address has been chosen, and I already have a name called ...... Shadow Entertainment! Chen Xiaotang simply said everything.
"How did you come up with the idea of starting a company?" Shao Tycoon was curious.
Chen Xiaotang smiled and said, "Because I want to be like Uncle Six, I can become a veritable movie tycoon in the future!" ā
When Chen Xiaotang said this, his tone was firm and categorical, making people not doubt his belief at all.
Shao Daheng looked at Chen Xiaotang and looked carefully, as if he wanted to see something in his eyes.
It's a pity that the young man in front of him can be old, but according to Shao Daheng's skills in crisscrossing the rivers and lakes for more than 60 years, he can't see through him!
Damn, this posterior baby is too dragged!
Shao Tycoon burst into a foul language for no reason.
"Did you really decide to do that?" Shao Tycoon asked.
Chen Xiaotang nodded, "I will never regret it!" ā
"Good, young man, very bold! I appreciate you! Shao Tycoon is also a character who can afford to let go, and immediately changed his mind again, "Then you can sign a contract with the head of the department!" ā
āā¦ā¦ Ah, what? This time it was Chen Xiaotang's turn to be surprised.
As a "person who came over" from his previous life, Chen Xiaotang certainly understands what it means to be a "head appointment".
There are two types of TVB artist contracts:
One is what we often call "biological children (females)", that is, full broker contracts and manager contracts. It is TVB that all the performances of these artists, including the promotion and hosting of TVB's filming, brand endorsement, and filming in the mainland, are all arranged by TVB. It is equivalent to TVB being their agent (of course, TVB will assign them a separate agent to manage). In this case, TVB will be more supportive and give more opportunities, but TVB also takes a lot of commissions, including artists who come to the mainland to film, and part of the salary will be given to TVB. And such artist activities and performances should be based on TVB, such as Wu Zhuoxi, after "Big Girl", many mainland dramas asked him to shoot, but he has to focus on TVB performances, and he may lose a lot of opportunities. There are more young actors who sign full contracts.
The other is what the landlord said, "head contract", that is, these artists have their own agents, or arrange their own activities, TVB is not their complete agent, but they will sign a contract with TVB, such as filming one or two dramas for TVB every year, etc. To fulfill this commitment, other activity arrangements, endorsements, and filming outside are not under the control of TVB. There are generally more qualified actors who sign the head contract, such as Deng Cuiwen, Li Yaoxiang, Ouyang Zhenhua, Xuanxuan, etc., and now they are all head contracts, and Charmaine Sheh also has to transfer the head contract. For artists with appointments, TVB's commission ratio will be lower, and the artist's autonomy is greater. But the bad thing is that TVB won't be very popular with this part of the people, and it won't be too reused (unless it's really not good without them, such as Deng Cuiwen and Li Yaoxiang in the first two years). One of the representatives of the head appointment is Chen Jianfeng, he has always been the head of the department, so TVB is good and bad to him, and he goes to the mainland to film more often.
Of course. It's the 80s, and TVB's "head appointment" is not as perfect as it will be in the future, but it is also a very advantageous choice for the company's big-name artists, after all, TVB is half the sky in the Hong Kong entertainment industry, and its energy coverage is super wide. Like Qiu Guan, as well as Wang Mingquan and other big names, they all signed a contract with wireless, and Fa Ge also signed such a contract with the company after filming "Smiling Proud Jianghu", but the focus has been on the movie.
Now Shao Tycoon suddenly put forward such a condition, which made Chen Xiaotang a little stunned.
Shao Daheng seemed to be very satisfied with Chen Xiaotang's reaction. Hou Shengzi, I thought that your Taishan collapsed in light color, and I would be surprised.
"Why, you don't want to sign a ministry contract?"
"No, it's not." Chen Xiaotang knows that this is Shao Daheng's biggest concession to himself, if he still "doesn't know the current affairs", I am afraid that he will be "banned", and the means of wireless companies to ban artists in this era are very terrible. Even if you can show your face in movies, as long as people don't show you up on TV, your popularity will drop rapidly. In addition, Chen Xiaotang has to rely on Shaw Brothers' cinemas to promote his films, and if he doesn't have a cinema in his hands, no matter how beautiful your movie is, it will be in vain. In a word, Shaw's emaciated camel is bigger than a horse.
Let's look at Liu Dehua in his previous life, he was blocked by wireless to the crippled, if it weren't for the intercession of Er Dongsheng and others, and finally Shao Daheng opened the net and asked him to make a movie, I am afraid there would be no future "Four Heavenly Kings". Do you know Andy's classic song "Thank You for Your Love"? sang at the wireless awards ceremony back then, in fact, it was to express gratitude to the TV station's subordinates for their mercy, and that song was sung for Mr. Shao, not why women!!
