Chapter 212: "Big Heart and Careful Heart" (I)
"Aaron, B, Jianzai, all come over and help you introduce a junior brother. ZHANG GUORONG, ENGLISH NAME IS LESLIE. The newcomer Mr. Xu just signed today is your junior brother. From now on, everyone is a family, you have to love him, you can't bully him. Ma Jiahua patted Zhang Guorong's shoulder and smiled.
"Of course not, we're all good people. Manager, you call us like we're all badass. Chen Youxiao said.
"Manager, when will we sign a few little sisters, the company now has several male singers, and there is only one female singer, Sister Xiaofeng, the yang in her eyes is prosperous and yin is declining." Peng Jianxin shouted.
Several people coaxed together, laughing and shouting, which made Zhang Guorong a little restrained.
"DON'T GET ME WRONG, THEY'RE USED TO MESSING AROUND, LET ME INTRODUCE YOU, THIS IS TAN YILIN, HIS ENGLISH NAME IS ALAN, THE LEAD SINGER OF THE WENNA BAND; This is Zhong Zhentao, alias A B, who is also the lead singer; Chen You, drummer; Peng Jianxin, Jian Zai, guitarist; Ye Zhiqiang, Ah Qiang, guitarist. Ma Jiahua introduced them one by one, "This is Leslie, Zhang Guorong." ”
"Hello, hello......" Zhang Guorong shook hands with these brothers one by one, and Tan and Zhang, who would dominate the Hong Kong music scene in the future, met unexpectedly. At this time, none of them expected that they would achieve so much later.
"We are all in a company, and we are all young people, so we can play together in the future." Tan Yilin is worthy of being a good old man, with a wide range of friends, and immediately said to Zhang Guorong familiarly, "Do you like clubbing, or disco?" ”
"I love going to disco." Zhang Guorong thought about it. He replied cautiously.
"Okay. We also happened to be going to disco in the evening. Why don't you go together? Alan Tam was invited.
Zhang Guorong thought for a while, "Okay." ”
"Then it's decided, we'll go together after work in the evening." Tan said with a smile.
"Hey, hey, you guys don't have bad afterbirths." After Ma Jiahua listened to it next to him, he hurriedly stood up and stopped, "Leslie ignore them, you are still a newcomer." When you have time, you should study more and don't just focus on playing. ”
"Wow, manager, you're going too far, that's what we say. We're also here to strengthen our relationship. Chen You said with a smile.
"You like to joke so much, I'll tell the boss when I go back and let you go filming." Ma Jiahua glared at him and said.
"Okay, I can't ask for it." Chen You immediately hit the snake with the stick, and responded with a smile.
Ma Jiahua was bored and pursed his mouth, "Okay." Leslie, come with me. Introduce you to a few vocal teachers. ”
Zhang Guorong nodded, "A few senior brothers." After speaking, leave with Ma Jiahua and the others.
……
"This newcomer is not bad, full of politeness." Chen You said with a smile.
"You're also handsome, Ah B, you have a competitor." Peng Jianxin said with a smile.
"Joke, how can this little white face compare to my wise and martial arts?" Ah B Zhong Zhentao boasted to himself, of course, most of them are funny.
Everyone made a fuss for a while and continued to practice their new songs.
Zhang Guorong was taken by Ma Jiahua to meet the vocal teacher, "Leslie, I just saw the boss and you are very familiar, are you relatives?" Ma Jiahua asked with a smile.
"No, I only saw him today." Zhang Guorong said honestly.
"Huh?! Just met him for the first time today? Ma Jiahua was stunned and asked suspiciously.
Zhang Guorong nodded.
"And how did you meet?" Simon also asked curiously next to him.
"He went to my dad's clothing store to buy clothes, so he happened to meet him." Zhang Guorong explained.
Ma Jiahua glanced at Ximen, all in disbelief. On the one hand, it is so important, not only to assign A-level managers, but also to personally send to the company?
Where's the bluff?!
Neither of them believed Zhang Guorong's words, thinking that he must be hiding the truth, but it was not good to continue to ask, so they had to bury all the questions in their stomachs, and slowly investigate when they became familiar with it.
Ma Jiahua quickly assigned vocal music teachers, dance teachers, and instrumental music teachers to Zhang Guorong, who were responsible for training him to become a qualified singer.
At this time, Xu Guanwu had already taken a car to TVB to participate in the variety show "Big Heart and Careful Heart", which was to be broadcast live at night.
"Second brother, I thought you weren't coming." Xu Guanying sat in the lounge at the back, and couldn't help but say happily when she saw Xu Guanwu.
"When did I break my promise to you?" Xu Guanwu said with a smile, "The show won't start until half past nine, so we're too early now." ”
"Come here and prepare." Xu Guanying said with a smile, "By the way, second brother, what's the matter with the company that makes you have to go on a trip in person?" ”
"There's a new guy to sign on." Xu Guanwu explained, "I'm going to deal with it myself. ”
"Is that the young boy you met when you were shopping for clothes today?" Xu Guanying asked with a smile.
Xu Guanwu nodded, "That's right, it's him." ”
"There's not much to say but handsome. Second brother, are you optimistic that he will be a red star in the future? Xu Guanying asked suspiciously.
Xu Guanwu smiled, "Whether it's a red star or not, it doesn't matter now, it depends on his own growth." Anyway, I've already given him the stage. ”
Xu Guanying nodded understandingly, and was about to say something, when Zhao Yazhi, Lu Hipeng and other members of the program team all walked in, and the lounge was crowded in an instant.
"You have so much money on wireless, why don't you build a TV city. It's not like you can see so many people resting and having to be crammed into one room. Xu Guanwu scolded.
"Boss Xu, you are a rich man, you earn hundreds of millions of dollars in a play, so naturally you will not be soft on spending. Our TVB boss works hard to earn a few advertising fees, and a penny has to be broken in half to spend, how can he be willing to invest in building a TV city? Lu Hipeng laughed playfully.
Xu Guanwu looked at Lu Hipeng and saw that although he was only in his thirties now, he was not much different from what he looked like ten years later.
Lu Hipeng can also be regarded as an old man who is often active in the Hong Kong entertainment industry, and it seems that he has never quit the stage. Whether it's acting in a TV series or not. It's okay to act in a movie. Always active. This is what Xu Guanwu admires more about him.
"Brother Peng, don't talk about the company behind your back, be careful that it will be heard by the high-level." Zhao Yazhi hurriedly reminded.
"It's okay, I heard that a new station is about to open next door. If there is competition, there will be vitality, and perhaps the time for a salary increase is coming soon. Lu Hipeng said with a big grin.
Xu Guanwu couldn't help but feel moved when he heard this, is Jiayi TV about to start? It's really a hurry, I only heard the news a few years ago, but I didn't expect that half a year has passed in a blink of an eye.
"Brother Peng, you are really fake. Is the next desk hiring? I'll be the first to go if I recruit them. Someone shouted.
"I don't know, they have recruited a group of people before, and now they are training in Taiwan. If you want to get into that station, you have to wait at least until it opens. Lu Hipeng shook his head and said.
"Let's take a look at the situation, in case it's like Li's TV station, the ratings are so bad that it's boring to stay." Someone said.
"It's hard to say, I heard that it was Sir Ho Dong's son He George, according to his ability, there is no reason for the company to go out of business." Someone retorted.
Xu Guanwu listened from the sidelines. It seems that people are still more confident in He George, but in fact. Jiayi TV only lasted two and a half years, and then it couldn't hold on anymore.
The reason is of course that there is prime time for educational programs, and another reason is to spend a lot of money on TV dramas. There are a total of three TV stations in Hong Kong, and all the ratings are focused on TV dramas, so the market competition is naturally very fierce.
And Hong Kong itself is only a small place, with millions of people, and a TV series with a slightly larger investment will not be able to recover its costs. Therefore, the salary of TVB has always been so low, and it is not just Boss Shao's slamming, but he really can't afford it.
In fact, if Xu Guanwu is replaced to run Jiashi, he will definitely not focus on TV series, but will engage in special variety shows.
The ratings of variety shows are actually no worse than TV dramas, and the previous TVB's "Happy Tonight", Nanhu Satellite TV's "Everyday Xiangshang", "Happy Camp", etc., are all programs with extremely high ratings.
And the key point is that the production cost of variety shows is low, and a set can be reused after it is done, if it is changed to a TV series and appears in two TV series at the same time, it will be scolded shabby.
However, if you want to get into Jiashi, it seems that it is not an easy task at present.
Because of the current shareholders of Jiashi, they sit in rows, Commercial Radio, He George, the son of He Dong, the former richest man in Hong Kong; Jardine Matheson, Hong Kong's most powerful British-funded foreign firm; "Overseas Chinese Daily", "Commercial Daily" and "Sing Tao Daily" are the most authoritative newspapers in Hong Kong.
The five major shareholders are all either rich or expensive, and any one of them is stronger than Xu Guanwu. Of course, it refers to social status, and Xu Guanwu has a slight advantage in terms of money.
What's more, there are three newspapers that are direct competitors of Xu Guanwu, and they will not welcome Xu Guanwu, a sworn enemy, to join.
Xu Guanwu knew that it was difficult for him to be allowed to join, so he didn't think about it, but when Jiayi TV Station was not doing well next year and needed to introduce foreign capital, he would naturally not hesitate to make a move.
Although the ratings of Jiayi TV are not high enough, owning a TV station will still make Xu Guanwu's media empire Shili more consolidated.
was thinking wildly on the side, and before I knew it, it was already time for the show to start.
Zhao Yazhi, Lu Hipeng, Xu Guanying and others all became nervous, "Come on, wife!" Xu Guanwu raised his hand and shouted, causing everyone in the lounge to laugh.
Zhao Yazhi glanced at him with disgust, and her cheeks flushed with shame, "A-Ying, don't be nervous when you come to the stage." She told her brother-in-law.
Xu Guanying nodded blankly, and the fine sweat on his forehead was about to ooze out.
Seeing this, Xu Guanwu hurriedly took out a tissue to wipe it for him, so as not to mess with his makeup, "Don't be nervous, the second brother will help you cheer you up in the audience." ”
Xu Guanying nodded, and followed Zhao Yazhi and the others to wait backstage.
Xu Guanwu quietly walked into the audience and found a corner to sit down.
As a burst of dry ice mist erupted on both sides of the stage, a group of dancers ran out on both sides of the stage in the sound of music, singing and dancing, dancing very jubilantly.
Xu Guanwu watched inexplicably in the audience, wasn't it revised according to "Lucky 52", and there was an opening song and dance performance in time?
After a few minutes of singing and dancing performances, Lu Hipeng and Zhao Yazhi took the stage surrounded by dancers, "Good evening, audience friends and friends in front of the TV set!" I'm Zhao Yazhi......" "I'm Lu Hipeng, welcome to watch "Big Heart". ”
"We're all here today." Lu Hipeng said with a smile.
"How so?" Zhao Yazhi was on the side.
"They're either music stars or movie stars." Lu Hipeng shouted.
"Really, so powerful?" Zhao Yazhi said in surprise.
"Welcome to the music star Luo Wen and the film star Qin Huang......" Lu Hipeng shouted.
As Lu Hipeng's voice landed, the dry ice mist on both sides of the stage erupted again, and Qin Huang and Luo Wen walked out with a smile and a wave of their hands from both sides, "Hello everyone, hello everyone!" ”
"Hello Luo Wen, hello Qin Huang!" The two hosts also greeted each other.
Luo Wen debuted very early, and before forming the "Luo Wen Four-Step Choir", and later co-formed the "Couple Choir" with Shen Dianxia, which is very famous in the Hong Kong music scene.
Qin Huang is one of the movie stars of the Shaw Brothers, following Xu Guanwen, he also starred in "The Interesting History of Warlords" directed by director Li Hanxiang, compared with Xu Guanwen's "The Great Warlord", the story is slightly inferior, but it is more glamorous, and the box office is also good.
