Chapter 500: Praise You

"Mr. Xu, you usually like fishing, too?" Zhou Yanfa saw Xu Guanwu holding a fishing rod in his hand, and couldn't help but ask with a smile.

"Sort of, our four brothers are quite fond of fishing." Xu Guanwu nodded and said, "Actually, I'm just for distraction, and it doesn't matter if I catch fish or not." ”

"Mr. Xu is really chic, like when I was a child, I also wanted to fish, but it was to make a living, and I didn't have any interest at all." Zhou Yunfa smiled and said.

"Ah Fa, didn't your family background be good when you were a child?" Xu Guanwu asked with a smile.

"How much better can life be when you live on Lamma Island? I remember when I was a child, I didn't have shoes to wear, and I had to step on the mud barefoot to herd cattle......" Zhou Yanfa said with a wry smile, "I went to the sea with my parents to fish at night, and I was so sleepy that I sat on the deck and dozed off, and the big waves almost swept me into the sea." ”

"Actually, I'm just like you, when I was a kid, I lived in a wooden house in Diamond Hill, and the four brothers slept on a wooden bed. At that time, there was always not enough food to eat, and once a horse-drawn cart carrying grain passed by at the bottom of the mountain, my eldest brother and I would poke the sack with knives and carry the leaking rice inside. Xu Guanwu also said with a smile.

"I didn't expect Mr. Xu to have such a ghostly horse, I thought it was only me when I was a child." Chen Yulian said with a smile on the side.

"Why didn't your family have a good background when you were a child?" Xu Guanwu asked suspiciously.

He knew that Zhou Yanfa was born on Lamma Island, and his family background was not very good since he was a child, so he was inspired to make money later. His life experience has been selected into the textbooks of Hong Kong primary school students, and he has become a representative of the "Hong Kong Dream".

Xu Guanwu is not very clear about Chen Yulian, it is the famous "Condor Heroes". To be honest, he didn't appreciate it. Xu Guanwu remembers the more impressive "The Condor Heroes" when he was a child. is co-starred by Meng Fei and Pan Yingzi. And the theme song is also very good, "The Prancing Horse Jianghu Road, the Zhijie is higher than the sky." One is gentle and beautiful, and the other is a beautiful young man......"

As for the version co-starred by Liu Dehua and Chen Yulian, although the reputation is very loud, it is a pity that I have never had the opportunity to see it. And although Chen Yulian entered the industry relatively early, she did not appear in many works, and she got married early and went into hiding. It wasn't until much later that he returned to filming. At the same time, because her temperament is relatively cold, she has always lacked enough exposure, so Xu Guanwu does not know her very well.

I only know that Chen Yulian and Zhou Yanfa originally loved each other very much, but unfortunately because of the obstruction of Fa Ge's mother, the lovers could not finally become married. Fa Ge committed suicide by drinking detergent because of this, and then married Yu Press, a TV station artist, and divorced soon after the marriage, and finally married the daughter of a wealthy Nanyang businessman, and it just so happened that the girl seemed to be called Chen Helian.

As for Chen Yulian, I heard that she was married to the United States and married a casino manager. But in the end, it ended in divorce. As for Chen Yulian's most embarrassing news, I heard that she believed in Buddhism. Then she went into retreat with her master, and she didn't contact her family for five or six years, so that her father thought she had passed away. The goddess in the minds of a generation ended up with such a bleak ending, which has to be very regrettable.

"My family lived in Tiu Keng Leng in the New Territories, and when I was a child, my family was very poor, and my father always had to borrow money from others, so I was always looked down upon when I was a child." Chen Yulian sighed and said, "Now my biggest wish is to make more money, help my parents settle the old accounts as soon as possible, and then I can stand up and be a man in the future." ”

"Ha Luha, when you say this, it seems to imply that I am going to raise your salary." Xu Guanwu couldn't help but joke when he heard it.

"No, no, Mr. Xu, I didn't mean that." When Chen Yulian heard him say this, she couldn't help but be frightened and said, "Actually, now I have earned enough, and I am very satisfied." ”

"Well, don't be nervous, I'm just joking." Xu Guanwu smiled and said, "Actually, I also know that Lu Dao entered the TV station as an artist, and eight out of ten had a bad family background, if he was good, he would not enter the TV station as an artist." So lately, I've been thinking about giving actors a raise. ”

"Really?!" Zhou Yanfa and Chen Yulian widened their eyes in surprise.

"Wow! Do you two need to be so excited? Xu Guanwu saw that the reaction of the two of them was too exaggerated, and couldn't help but laugh, "Oh, I understand." Is it that the two of you are about to have a good time, so you lack money to hold a wedding? It doesn't matter, if that's the case, I'll personally sponsor an apartment for you and cover all the expenses for the wedding. ”

"Mr. Xu is joking, where are we so fast." Zhou Yunfa scratched his head and smiled.

Chen Yulian also lowered her head shyly, not daring to say a word.

"Hehe, marriage is a major event in life, so what's there to be ashamed of." Xu Guanwu smiled.

"Mr. Xu, I don't know what kind of adjustment method is the salary adjustment of Lu Dao?" Zhou Yunfa couldn't help but ask curiously.

"The salary of TVB is now based on the attendance rate of the actors, and the more appearances and roles played, the higher the natural income. I think that's a fair approach. Xu Guanwu thought for a while and said, "However, for some actors who are more famous and have more ratings appeal, it is a little insufficient to rely on attendance alone to consider salary." So I plan to add some grading systems, according to the level of the actors in TVB now, the first grade, the second gear, the third gear, and the fourth gear...... Then the appearance fees of actors of each grade are different, which allows big-name artists to make more money, and also makes small-name artists more motivated. Of course, the salary of employees at the bottom will not be reduced this time around. ”

"Mr. Xu's idea is really good, and I think this grading system is really good." Zhou Yunfa couldn't help but smile and said. He is now between the first and second tiers of TVB, that is, although he has starred in many TV series, his fame is still weaker than that of first-line actors, but he is better than second-tier actors.

If this classification can be assigned to the first-line actors, then he can have the same salary and equal pay as Qiu Guan, then according to the meaning of Xu Guanwu's words just now, like a first-line actor, at least he earns a lot more than before, so that he can also make a lot of money.

Chen Yulian was also very happy to hear Xu Guanwu's salary increase clause, she is now also a rising star supported by TVB, and she can barely be classified as a first-line actor. If it is according to what Xu Guanwu just said. Her salary is bound to skyrocket. When the time comes, you will be able to pay off the arrears of your family smoothly.

"However, this plan is still in the planning stage. So before I officially launch it, you still have to help me keep this secret. Xu Guanwu said with a smile.

"Don't worry, Mr. Xu, we will keep this secret strictly." Zhou Yanfa nodded and smiled.

Being able to help the boss keep secrets seems to be regarded as his own, which makes Zhou Yunfa feel very happy, a little happier than a salary increase.

"Mr. Xu, there are a lot of fish on the coast in the previous section. I've once caught a ten-pound rat spot here. Zhou Yunfa pointed to the coast in front of him and said proudly.

"Oh?! Then you're amazing, I'm just catching a pound of fish at most. Xu Guanwu couldn't help but smile and praise when he heard this.

……

Under the guidance of Zhou Yanfa, Xu Guanwu set up a fishing rod and began to catch fish.

Zhou Yanfa and Chen Yulian followed behind and watched, chatting with Xu Guanwu from time to time.

Sure enough, the fishing products in this water area are very rich, and two fish were caught by Xu Guanwu in a moment, although they were not precious groupers, but they also made Xu Guanwu excited.

"While Mr. Xu is happy now, you can mention that matter to him." Chen Yulian whispered to Zhou Yanfa.

"Don't worry, it's a bit of a reward to say it now, and Mr. Xu just said that he wants a raise. Now that you want to break into the big screen, it's a bit too unintelligible, right? Zhou Yanfa frowned and said.

Xu Guanwu faintly heard the two whispering behind him. I couldn't help but look back and ask curiously, "What are you two talking about there?" Are you saying bad things about me behind my back? ”

"No, no, we are complimenting Mr. Xu for his good fishing skills." Zhou Yanfa said with a smile.

Chen Yulian hesitated for a moment, stepped forward and said, "Mr. Xu, Fa Tsai actually wants to make a splash on the big screen, I hope you can give him a chance." ”

"Breaking into the big screen?!" Xu Guanwu glanced back at Zhou Yanfa, and when he saw him scratching his head and looking embarrassed, he couldn't help but smile, "This idea is good, why are you embarrassed to say it?" ”

"Really?!" Zhou Yanfa listened to Xu Guanwu's tone, and didn't seem to be dissatisfied, and couldn't help but ask overjoyed.

"Ah Fa, you are indeed a very aura actor, when I saw you for the first time, I knew that you would definitely get ahead." Xu Guanwu said with a smile, "It's a good thing that you want to enter the big screen, and I'm happy to see it happen." ”

"Mr. Xie Lu, Mr. Xie Xu, Mr. Xie Lu." Zhou Yanfa heard Xu Guanwu say this, and couldn't help but say excitedly.

"Hehe, you're welcome." Xu Guanwu waved his hand and said, "But I can't let you be a movie actor yet." ”

"For what?" Zhou Yanfa's expression froze suddenly, and he couldn't help but ask.

"Because the company is about to release a group of artists to make movies, the TV station will face a shortage of first-line students in the next year or two. That's why I want you to stay at TVB and be a homemaker first. Xu Guanwu smiled slightly, "Of course, in the past two years, in addition to making TV series, you can also participate in some movie performances, which I can support you." ”

"Does Mr. Xu really want to praise me as a master?" When Zhou Yanfa heard this, he grinned happily.

Entering the big screen and becoming a movie star is still a bit illusory. But if you can make a living at TVB, that's a real thing. Thinking of Qiu Guan, every time Brother Ren hugged him before and after his appearance, Zhou Yanfa couldn't help but feel a burst of enthusiasm.

"Ah Fa, you have only appeared in a few movies now, and you don't have a deep understanding of the cruelty of the film industry." Xu Guanwu smiled and said, "The competition in the film industry is countless times greater than that of the TV station, and you not only have to compete with others but also with yourself." The TV station is mine, even if you are not popular, I can support you. But the film industry is much more complicated, even if I want to praise you, it's not like I'll be popular as soon as I hold it. And the cost of making a movie is very high, if it is not popular once, twice, or three times, I have no way to explain it to the company. ”

"I know it, Mr. Xu." Zhou Yanfa nodded in understanding.

"Well, there are also the most powerful people in Hong Kong in the film industry, whether it is appearance, acting skills, or temperament, they are all first-class candidates. Don't mention the film and television stars of the previous generation, just look at the people who were praised by Shaw Brothers in the first two years, Di Long, Jiang Dawei, which one doesn't want acting skills, appearance, temperament, and popularity. But isn't it going downhill now? It can be seen that the competition in the film industry is cruel far beyond your imagination. In contrast, TVB is a safe haven, and although there are strong winds and waves outside, as long as I am still around, it will not be affected. Xu Guanwu smiled and said, "You have just become famous now, don't be so anxious to swim to the sea early, and hone in TVB TV for a while." When you feel that your acting skills have surpassed everyone on the TV station, and your fame has reached its peak, and there will be no progress if you stay any longer, if you want to enter the big screen at that time, I will definitely not stop you again, and I will vigorously cultivate you.
