Chapter 103 Artist Training Course
At this time in Hong Kong, it was legal to take concubines, and Run Run Shaw had not accepted Fang Yihua until now, which shows the importance he attached to his original wife.
"Old Shao, it's the first time I've come to your company today, this is a little bit of caution, and I hope to smile." Luo Tiancheng took out a script and gave it to Ms. Fang.
"Now the title of Mystic Luo is famous in Hong Kong, and even in the world, how many big companies, please can't come, I can come to my small company today, how can I still receive your gifts!" Run Run Shaw is 86 this year, Luo Tiancheng naturally will not let Run Run Shaw stand up, plus Run Run Shaw is a person he respects.
"Shaw Brothers Film Company, if it is a small company, then all the film companies in Hong Kong are small companies." Luo Tiancheng said with a smile.
"Haha, you're a good kid." Run Run Shaw said happily, Fang Yihua on the side was smiling, obviously Run Run Shaw was happy, and she was also happy.
"I really didn't expect it, I remember when you debuted in 83 or 84, and seeing how you look like you're only 17 or 18 years old now, you'll be less than 10 years old, it's incredible." Run Run Shaw estimated Luo Tiancheng's age at that time, and the more he thought about it, the more unbelievable he felt, and at the age of 10, he had already stirred up trouble in the Hong Kong film industry.
"Teacher, you're wrong, Mystic Luo first appeared in songwriting, and then started writing the script for the film in the second year." Fang Yihua was naturally a little unbelieving in his heart, but after seeing Luo Tiancheng's mysterious momentum and behavior today, he naturally wouldn't be uninterested in interrogating him.
"Yes, you're no less than the film industry has won awards for songs! Ha ha! Run Run Shaw laughed, first of all, he had a good eye for the handsome young man in front of him.
Run Run Shaw and Fang Yihua knew in their hearts that the 17-year-old boy in front of them was worth much more than himself, and the tens of billions of Franklin were naturally not comparable to the current Run Run Shaw, and the two naturally regarded Luo Tiancheng as a person of the same class.
If it is based on Ms. Fang's attitude towards the actors below, it is estimated that Luo Tiancheng will leave without talking twice, and with the value of the mysterious Luo, there is no need to continue to write scripts for a living.
Luo Tiancheng looked at the two of them helplessly, and he talked about his experience one by one, and interjected at the right time: "Mr. Shao, what is the purpose of my visit today, I believe Ge Shan has already told you, I want to visit, and now it is up to you to train the artists of wireless film and television." ”
"Well, I know, let's have lunch here together in a while, let Fang Yihua accompany you to have a look, I don't know if Xiaoyou is willing, people are old, and some legs and feet are not good." This is indeed the case with Shaw's age this year.
"Well, it's okay, Ms. Fang is the same, Mr. Shao's body is important. Ms. Fang will trouble you later. Luo Tiancheng expressed understanding.
Although it was not clear what the purpose of Mystic Luo's appearance this time was, Fang Yihua naturally would not refuse this small request, and waved his hand: "It's a trivial matter, how can there be trouble or not." ”
"Besides, Xiaoyou can hold our TVB shares in his hands, and now they are close to 7%, and he is already in the position of a major shareholder. Run Run Shaw threw out a bomb and blew Luo Tiancheng on the outside and on the inside, when did he become a shareholder of TVB.
Seeing the puzzled expression on Luo Tiancheng's face, Run Run Shaw expressed helplessness, he didn't expect that there were still people who didn't know his own industry, and 7% of TVB's shares had a market value of hundreds of millions, reminding: "ZG Venture Capital Company!" ”
Luo Tiancheng only knew what was going on, but he didn't expect that the funds from ZG Venture Capital had been invested in the company in Hong Kong, and he had become a major shareholder of TVB, the key was that he didn't know it yet.
"Hehe, I really don't know, they didn't report to me." Luo Tiancheng said with a haha, if you want to say that you didn't report it, you really wronged Qi Xueyao's old bean, and after a while, I will report it on time, but Luo Tiancheng hasn't paid attention to it, but when he got the documents, he saw which companies' applications and checked them according to the companies in his memory.
Even Fang Yihua couldn't help but roll his eyes, how can there be such a person, don't give it to me.
After dinner, Run Run Shaw went back to rest, now the affairs of the company include Shaw Brothers Film Company and TVB, and now Fang Yihua is basically handling it, today is mainly to see what the legendary mysterious Luo looks like, otherwise it will just be Fang Yihua who arrives alone.
TVB's artist training class should be the fairest in star training, at least they give many ordinary people who want to do drama a platform to realize their dreams, and every star among them is really starting from low and honing their acting skills. It will not be like the domestic training institutions that have so many shady scenes, nor are they like the stars who come out now, as long as they have money and beauty, they can enter, and these people happen to have no acting skills at all.
The most benefited Hong Kong film is the first to be promoted. Whether in front of the stage or behind the scenes, the artists who have moved from wireless to the big screen have almost simultaneously experienced the development history of Hong Kong films. They emerged during the booming period, they were the mainstay at the height of the boom, they did not abandon the trough of the market slump, and they are indispensable backbones of today's schemes. It is hard to imagine that without the wireless artist training courses, there would be no such shining galaxy, and without these outstanding filmmakers, Hong Kong films and even Chinese films would be overshadowed.
Life parted several autumns. Looking back at this veritable "Whampoa Military Academy of Hong Kong Stars", some of them have long been annihilated, and some are still in full swing; Some are still working silently, while others are ready to go. Look at these unfamiliar or familiar names, look at these names that have moved and joyed us, look at these names that have made us worship and dream, how many feelings can be repeated, and how much time will not be forgotten.
In 1967, the strategically minded Shaw shifted his focus to the then nascent television industry, and the Hong Kong Television Broadcasting Corporation (TVB), a media giant that would soon influence generations of Chinese, came into being. A few years later, the wireless artist training class, which is in line with the star system concept of "Shaw Brothers", was established. Perhaps Sir Shao himself could not have imagined that this star training base, which was originally produced for his own use, would support Hong Kong, or half of the entire Chinese entertainment industry, in the future.
Let's talk about a few well-known stars:
The 10th Artist Training Course (1981): Andy Lau, Poon Hongbin, Wu Jiali (Jia), Leung Ka-fai, Dai Zhiwei, Qi Meizhen, Zhu Biwen, Xue Caixia, Wong Yiu-ming

Luo Tiancheng was accompanied by Fang Yihua at this time and came to the TVB training class, which was the fifth artist training class.
As everyone knows, the current TVB interior has been completely like an explosion, "Fang Yihua accompanied me to think that a handsome boy was visiting TVB!", which time before was it not a person about the same age as Fang Yihua, or accompanied by the company's public relations, like today, it is the first time, except for accompanying Run Run Shaw. Some popular celebrities came forward one after another in the name of greeting Fang Yihua to see which big name it was.
Luo Tiancheng didn't see the person he wanted to pay attention to inside, and was a little disappointed, after the visit, he heard Fang Yihua say at this time: "Tiancheng, we will hold the 26th anniversary celebration on November 19, I hope you can come to participate." ”
"Okay, be there on time." Luo Tiancheng thought that there was nothing to do in the near future anyway, and there were still some situations in Hong Kong, so naturally he couldn't leave so early, today is November 2nd, and there is still half a month to go.
