After Liangkun returned to Hong Kong, he received a call from Wang Jie, saying that he had something to discuss.

Entering the conference room of Qiankun Entertainment, Liangkun found that in addition to Wang Jie, Fang Yanmei, Fang Yanping, Fang Yanmei's agent Chen Shumin and Hua Di were all there.

Liangkun asked a little uneasily, "Are you all there?" Did something happen to the company when I went north? ”

Wang Jie said: "Brother Kun, you are too nervous, it's a good thing!" Ah Mei took Hua Di to the TV station to do a show, and Hua Di was taken a fancy by the TV producer, saying that he wanted to recommend Hua Di to audition as an actor. ”

Liangkun looked at Brother Hua's face.

is not only handsome, but also handsome, masculine, not excessively masculine, or just the right and natural kind, invincible.

The silhouette is rich in lines, the eyebrow bone and the bridge of the nose and chin are like those beautiful men in Europe, and the silhouette is outlined with perfect edges and corners, which is a representative of human aesthetics. Moreover, it is by no means the kind of little white-faced girl, soft, nor aggressive and ferocious - it is in perfect balance, with a charming sense of masculinity, and a gentleness like a spring breeze.

Liangkun said: "It seems that there are still people in the world who are not blind!" Which station, though? ”

Wang Jie said: "It's Infinite TV. ”

Liang Kun said: "Infinite? Zhao Lao Liu's infinity? They have always only used their own people, and Hua Di's brokerage contract is not to be signed in Infinity? ”

Chen Shumin said: "That's true. The Infinity TV Artist Training Course is run by Infinity Television to train performing arts talents for Infinity Television. The training period is one year, with the first half of the year learning the basics, and the second half of the year being an internship. There's a lot to learn. ”

Liangkun said contemptuously: "It's only half a year, learn a fart!" With Brother Hua's appearance, he can be a TV drama actor without learning. Brother Hua, tell me yourself, are you interested in acting, do you want to be a star, or do you want to be an actor. ”

Hua Di said with an embarrassed face: "Brother Kun, I don't want to be an actor in Banana Pictures. ”

Liangkun was almost choked by Brother Hua's words, "What do ***** think?" How could I possibly let you play *****? What I mean is: if you want to be an actor, I will send you to a formal film and television school to systematically learn acting knowledge, and when you return from your studies, the company will take you as the core, recruit troops, and enter the film production business; If you want to be a star, we can start making movies tomorrow, anyway, you are so handsome, even if you don't have acting skills, there will be little girls who buy tickets to enter the show. It's up to you! ”

Liangkun's attention to Brother Hua made Wang Jie, Fang Yanmei, Fang Yanping, and Chen Shumin a little staggered. Liangkun's meaning is equivalent to opening a film company specifically for Hua Di, which is Bruce Lee's treatment only in Golden Harvest. However, Bruce Lee is a world-famous martial artist, and Hua Di is nothing more than a handsome face.

Brother Hua thought about it for a long time, but he couldn't figure out what he wanted, so he had to say: "Brother Kun, I still have to think about this matter." ”

Liangkun said: "Then you go back and think about it first, and after thinking about it, tell me directly." ”

After Brother Hua left, Fang Yanmei, Fang Yanping, and Chen Shumin said: I just eat melons, and the melons have already been eaten, so I will leave first.

Wang Jie saw that he and Liangkun were left to have a meeting, and invited Liangkun to the office to talk.

After listening to Liangkun's harvest in the north, Wang Jie didn't quite understand, and said: "Brother Kun, since you want to enter the mainland market so much, why don't you let Fang Yanmei be the main hit, but want to push Su Xiaomei and Huata Cake?" ”

Liangkun said: "The mainland market is definitely a virgin land. I dare to say that as long as Xiaomei and Huata Cake successfully appear on the stage of the Spring Festival Gala next year, in the next 20 years, the income from the mainland market alone will be enough for them to live comfortably for a lifetime. Moreover, as long as you continue to pay attention to the mainland market, you will find that many singers only need to sing one song well in their lives, because this market is large enough and the fault tolerance rate is high enough. ”

Wang Jie then asked, "Brother Kun, you haven't said why you don't use Fang Yanmei." Whether it is singing skills or talent, they are not as good as Yanmei. Why don't we support an evergreen tree? ”

Liangkun glanced at the office door and said to Wang Jie: "First of all, for me, Xiaomei and Huata Cake are my own people, and Fang Yanmei is just an investment. Secondly, my positioning of Xiaomei and Huata Cake is a saliva singer, with a high degree of singing, and there is no need for singing skills, so it is easier to open the mainland market. Although Fang Yanmei's singing skills and talent are powerful, they are useless, and it is not easy to succeed in the mainland market. Moreover, my positioning of Fang Yanmei is to make her the 'Madonna of Asia', this kind of character setting is not only unflattering in the mainland market, but also arouses the disgust of the audience, and the main direction can only be Japan. ”

Wang Jie asked weakly: "Who is Madonna?" ”

This time Liangkun was stopped.

Madonna generally refers to Madonna Ciccone, whose full name is Madonna Louise Ciccone, an Italian-American female singer born in Detroit, Michigan, USA. It won't be until 1983 that he will officially debut with his first solo album "Madonna". He should have now been favored by the president of Sire Records with the single "Everybody", and signed a record contract with the company.

Before her, there had never been a female singer who had sex and sensuality so naked written on her face. Since the day of her debut, Madonna has not had to worry about development, because she has always been the one who defines the market and taste. Since the release of her first self-titled album in 1983, Madonna's dance music style has not stopped, whether it is rap, pop rock, or R&B, it is "outdated" in front of Madonna Siccone. If you want to say the secret of Madonna's success, it can be attributed to her sensuality and boldness. She was once a fairy and a queen, she could be both rebellious and saintly, and no one could move freely and elevated in various identities like her.

Madonna challenges convention with her versatile garments, bringing a visual impact to pop music and putting the spotlight in the spotlight. As a singer, Madonna is not afraid to break the traditional barriers of gender, religion and age, and bring new changes to the world.

Madonna transcends her status as a singer and can be said to be the spiritual leader of a generation, and she defines what it means to be a "diva of change".

Liangkun's positioning of Fang Yanmei is Madonna's imitator. Although Fang Yanmei is a year earlier than Madonna's debut, there is no order to learn, and the master is the teacher. After all, it has always been Hong Kong and Taiwan to learn from Japan and South Korea, and Japan and South Korea to learn from Europe and the United States.

……

Hua Di thought about it all night, and finally made up his mind to come to Charles Club to find Liangkun.

After seeing Brother Hua, Liangkun said: "Don't tell me your choice first, I'll tell you one thing first." I am ready to let Fang Yanmei go to the United States to receive the world's most advanced acting training. ”

For what Liangkun said, Brother Hua was a little caught off guard, and he couldn't speak for a while.

Liangkun said: "You can talk about your choice. ”

Hua Di said: "Then Brother Kun, can you arrange for me to go to the United States to study acting as well?" ”

Liangkun said: "No, you don't know English at all, what can you learn when you go?" Do you want to start with linguistics? Actually, the only thing I can arrange for you is the Beijing Film Academy, and you still have to pass the interview. ”

Hua Di said stubbornly: "I won't go!" Then I will continue to follow Amei as her life assistant. ”

Liangkun said: "Amei went to the United States to participate in training, not to be a star, so I didn't plan to arrange any life assistants for her." ”

Hearing this, Hua Di said depressedly: "Then I won't learn any acting skills, I want to be a star." ”

"Even if you become a star, you shine more than Amei, and Amei may not fall in love with you, why are you bothering?" Liangkun said patiently: "I hope you don't regret it in the future, when you were young, you didn't learn the knowledge of acting, your acting skills were not good, your acting was superficial, and you could only act as a vase in the movie, the biggest role was to be handsome, as long as others saw you starring, they knew that it was a bad movie, and after watching the movie you played, they would scold you for being a shovel and a rich family." ”

Hua Di couldn't listen to Liangkun's advice for a while, and insisted on saying: "I won't regret it." ”

Liangkun thought about it, in fact, stars and actors are two dimensional professions at all, so why bother? Although some people are not good at acting, their performances are superficial, and they can only be used as a vase in the movie, the biggest role is to be handsome, as long as you see his name on the cast, you know that it is a bad movie, but it does not prevent him from making a lot of money! Some people just need to be handsome, but what more bike?

Liangkun said: "I'll take you to meet someone tomorrow and see if I can stuff you into his movie." ”

Brother Hua's expression was a little unnatural, and he said, "Brother Kun, didn't you mean ......"

Liangkun said: "You are an amateur for movies, and without the blessing of a big director, you can only make some bad movies that are used to launder money." What I'm going to take you to meet is a great director, and see if you can open up under his tutelage. ”

Brother Hua had no choice but to say yes, the boss is called a thing, can he still say that he can't go?

……

The next day, Liangkun took Hua Di to Yindu Organization and met the great director Li Hanxiang.

As a director, Li Hanxiang is a master in the history of Hong Kong film and even the history of Chinese film. His works are of high artistic value due to the director's own understanding of classical culture and historical control. There is a saying in the Hong Kong film critics circle: "In Hong Kong, if you want to understand the history of the Ming Dynasty, look for Hu Jinquan, and see the history of the Qing Dynasty to find Li Hanxiang".

Li Hanxiang and Hu Jinquan were both born in Beiping from a family of eunuchs and lived in Hong Kong. Just like Cao Xueqin, as a son in distress, art seems to be their only safe haven. The profound heritage also made them different from the customs, and they soon became famous.

——Beiping is the former capital of the Ming and Qing dynasties, and after being an official eunuch, they are easy to know all kinds of historical stories.

Hua Di is still a little worried, although the great director Li Hanxiang is standing in front of him.

- Who is called Li Hanxiang, the most famous is Fengyue film.

Hua Di also heard the story of the great singer Leslie Cheung being "sold piglets":

In 1977, Leslie Cheung won the runner-up in the Hong Kong region of the TV Asian Song Contest with the song "American Pie", and thus entered the music scene. In the same year, he took over the filming of his first film "Spring in Red Mansions" and accepted the highest-paying job since he started his career, with a salary of 6,500 yuan.

When the film was signed, the producer negotiated with him and told him that this is a comedy, and the filming is still the theme of the famous novel "Dream of Red Mansions", and the heroine is Huang Xingxiu, although Huang Xingxiu is the same age as Leslie Cheung, she is a senior, and the TV series she acted in has been broadcast on major TV stations at that time. Since this is his first film, and more importantly, he is the male lead in the movie, which is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity for all newcomers, and Leslie Cheung will certainly not miss this opportunity. So Leslie Cheung signed this agreement very happily.

When he arrived on the set, he later learned that there were many large-scale shots in it, but it was too late. originally decided to quit acting, but I heard that the producer team has a wide range of connections, and if they provoke them, they may encounter revenge, so I can only swallow my anger and continue to play it. After the film was made, the small-scale screening received a good response, but due to scale issues, it was restricted from public screening by the Hong Kong film censorship department. Leslie Cheung was also hyped by the media because of this movie, which caused his career to develop unsmoothly in the next few years, which also made him angry, and he also said at that time that he would "never make movies again".

Hua Di was afraid that Li Hanxiang would also give him such a hand, so he insisted on reading the script.

Li Hanxiang said: "My play is a historical drama that I am going to Beijing to shoot on the spot, the budget is extremely high, and I have already decided that Liu Xiaoqin, the most popular actress in the mainland, will be the heroine, so my script must be kept secret and cannot be revealed to you in advance." However, I can guarantee that it is definitely not a Fengyue film like "Spring in the Red Chamber". Do you want to follow me to filming? ”

Hua Di said: "Filming? I don't know how to film, I don't know what it's like to make a movie. ”

Li Hanxiang said: "It's okay, you are very handsome, and in terms of image, you are the male protagonist I want." It doesn't matter if you don't know how to film, our filming cycle has one year, and I can teach you slowly. ”

Hua Di was still impressed by Li Hanxiang's great director's bearing and confidence, and said: "I am willing to go." ”

……

Hua Di followed Li Hanxiang to Beijing, considering that Hua Di had never been to the mainland, and this time he was going to go for a year, and he was going to leave home and Hong Kong for more than a year, Liang Kun still made a call to Hua Di in Beijing.

Liangkun asked, "How did you feel when you first came to Beijing?" ”

Hua Di said: "Why are there no people in this capital? But everything is very atmospheric, unlike Hong Kong, which is very narrow. The people here wear uniform clothes, many wear white shirts, or liberation clothes. ”

Liangkun asked, "How are you eating over there?" ”

Hua Di said: "It's a big pot of rice here, and the people who eat together don't know each other at all, they all live in that restaurant." I heard that I will have to go to the producer every week to get food stamps and meat stamps. ”

Liangkun asked, "When will the movie officially start?" ”

Hua Di said: "Director Li said that it was almost over, he asked me to shave my head yesterday, how can I shave my head when I act in a movie?" ”

Liangkun said: "Maybe it's a long time in the crew, and it's easier to keep it clean if you shave your head." ”

Hua Di didn't quite believe Liangkun's words, and asked again, "Really?" ”

Liangkun said: "You are playing Emperor Xianfeng, of course you have to shave your head and wear braids." ”

Hua Diqi said: "I don't know what role I play, how do you know, Brother Kun?" By the way, you're also a producer. ”

Liangkun knows Hua Di's role, of course, not because he is the producer, but because he knows the answer.

……

After another period of time, when Liangkun called Hua Di again, Hua Di was no longer the same curious and fresh as he was when he first arrived in Beijing.

Hua Di complained to Liangkun: "People like me who have not experienced actor training really can't adapt at all. ”

Liangkun asked, "What's wrong?" ”

Hua Di said: "I didn't think I used to watch movies in the cinema, but now that I make movies myself, I know how difficult it is." Each shot has to be repeated and repeated again and again, and the effect is perfect in order to shoot a few seconds of shot. After a shot, if it is a moving shot, it will be rehearsed repeatedly, practiced many times, or tried many times together before the shooting officially starts. ”

Liangkun had no choice but to comfort him, "This is how your acting skills are honed." ”

Hua Di said: "It doesn't matter, I work with Liu Xiaoqin, a very famous actress in the mainland, no matter where she goes, fans surround her." At the same time, I couldn't even speak a word of Mandarin, and even on the first day of filming, Liu Xiaoqin shouted at the camera to stop and asked Director Li Hanxiang what I was talking about, she didn't understand a word, she couldn't understand Cantonese. In short, I was under too much pressure every day when I was filming here. ”

Liangkun asked: "Anyway, it's going to be re-dubbed, you can read the numbers according to the number of words in the lines." Seven words, you are one, two, three, four, five, six, seven. In this way, you don't have to memorize the lines, and the actress doesn't have to memorize the lines, you only need to memorize a few words of her lines, and after she counts, you continue to count the numbers, so that the lines can be connected. ”

Hua Di said in surprise: "How is this possible! Director Li Hanxiang's dialogue is word-for-word, I will shoot whatever is written in the script, and the actors are not allowed to make mistakes. He doesn't look at your mouth at the scene, he listens, he can hear it, it's wrong, it's wrong, there's no such word. It's impossible to read numbers. ”

"This is the real director!" Liangkun said: "Then I'll teach you a good way, but this method requires you to communicate with the actress first." Didn't the Manchu emperors like to hold a fan in their hands? When you speak your lines, you fan your fan. When the lines are finished, you stop the fan and the actress can continue to speak the lines. In the same way, after the actress finishes her lines, Orchid points and compares, and when she replies with a hint, you continue to say the lines. ”

Hua Di said in surprise: "This method is good! ”

Liangkun asked: "How about the actress who plays opposite you, is she beautiful?" ”

Hua Di said: "Pretty is very beautiful, and very dedicated, even the steps, turns, small expressions, and even the performance of the hands, she will make very detailed notes, or make preparations, which I can't learn." is relatively big, and on the first day of filming, he made a big fuss in the crew. However, the crew does not do things like that, mainland actors are two steamed buns and a pickle for each meal, and the pickles are still black. When filming the movie, there were 10,000 or 20,000 extras, and the meals were all one person with a plastic bag, two steamed buns and a piece of black pickles. However, when Hong Kong actors have a meal at noon, each person has a food truck, chicken, duck, fish, and rice. Miss Liu Xiaoqin cried at that time and said that she would not act. Our play is called "The Legend of Cixi", and Miss Liu Xiaoqin played Cixi, and most of it was Cixi's play at that time. All the production directors, directors and assistant directors came to coax her. She didn't just eat meat for herself, but she also had to eat meat for all the actors to film......"

Liangkun said in surprise: "Aren't you in love with her?" ”

Hua Di said curtly: "Who doesn't like such a woman? However, she doesn't seem to like me. But it's no wonder that others are not good, I can't do acting, and she can't understand what she says. ”

Liangkun said: "Even if you can't get started, you have to have a good relationship with her, she has the mainland market behind her, and her connections and connections are enough for you to eat for a lifetime." ”

Hua Di said: "Recently, Vaseline came to Beijing and made a special trip to find Miss Liu Xiaoqin, and invited me to dinner. ”

Liangkun said: "This is what I ordered, my garment factory has some cooperation with Miss Liu Xiaoqin in business. ”

Brother Hua said with some jealousy: "I see that Miss Liu Xiaoqin is very happy to chat with him. ”

Liangkun said: "The endorsement price I set for Miss Liu Xiaoqin is 100,000 yuan per year, whoever gives you 100,000 yuan per year, who is not happy?" ”

Hua Di was dumbfounded and said, "What is an endorsement?" Can it be worth so much? 100,000 yuan, that's a Rolex gold watch! ”

Liangkun said: "These are all commercial things, and they can't be said clearly on the phone, probably just advertising." However, you don't have to be envious or hateful. If you inquire, Miss Liu Xiaoqin was originally a trickster. There is a process to everything. The most important thing in being a human being is to be determined to yourself, and the second is to do your best. As long as you do your best, one day, you will also have a Rolex watch, and you will have it all. ”

Hua Di gritted his teeth to cheer himself up and said: "I want to work hard, I want to struggle, I will succeed one day, wear a Rolex gold watch, and sit in a Rolls-Royce." ”

Liang Kun said: "When you wear a Rolex gold watch and sit in a Rolls-Royce, you will find that these are nothing, and you will say: I, I am not interested in money!" Even if your wife is as beautiful as a fairy, you will say: I am face blind, which means that I can't tell who is beautiful and who is not. To be honest, I'm not with her because she's pretty, because I don't know if she's pretty. Even if you live in a hilltop mansion of 5,000 square meters, you will say: you are no different from others, just living in an ordinary house with a slightly larger house! ”

Hua Di said: "Isn't that a neurosis? ”

Liangkun said: "You will think that they are neurotic, because you have not reached the realm yet. Go for it, boy! ”
