Chapter 690 New Year’s Reception
Shaw agreed.
Shi Nansheng was a little surprised and told Zhong Chuhong, and she was even more shocked: Sure enough, it is easy to make money outside. She has only earned 500,000 in a few years on the left, and she still needs a loan to buy a house.
Chen Qi also knew about it and had no attitude.
It's cheap to film your own company's drama, with reputation and box office guaranteed; you go out to take on dramas and get high pay, but the work is not guaranteed. This is a mutually complementary thing.
With Zhong Chuhong as the starting point, other people will also receive film offers one after another. It's easy for others to say, but Li Lianlian is still in trouble. How is his salary calculated?
But there is no need to think about it now. Tsui Hark is going to make an urban superhero film and Li Lien-lien has been booked to star in it early.
When your own actors go out, actors from outside can also come in.
In the future, people from other companies can be invited, and the genre no longer needs to be monotonous, but Chen Qi still tends to gather elites under his banner. For example, Leslie Cheung and Man Tsz-leung, the former only has a record contract, and the latter only has a TV contract, but neither has signed a movie contract.
There is also TVB’s artist training class.
The training class used to be a one-year term, but this year it became half a year, with three months of study and three months of internship. This year there are Aaron Kwok, Shao Meiqi, Deng Cuiwen, Li Meixian and others, but none of them are interested.
On the contrary, last year there were Wu Qihua, Liu Qingyun, Tao Dayu, Wu Sandra, Tsang Huaqian, Carina Lau, Lam Jieying, it can be said that there is a lot of talents.
Chen Qi was too busy and didn't think of poaching people for a while. These people must have signed contracts with TVB.
He does not adhere to the principle of more is better, he only wants a Lau Ching Wan.
"Dong dong dong!"
"Come in!"
Gu Weili knocked on the door and handed over a letter: "Boss, a letter from the mainland!"
"You are here just in time. Go to TVB to find a young man named Liu Qingyun. He has appeared in two TV series this year and has great potential. You can bring him here."
"good!"
Gu Weili responded very easily and didn't ask how to bring it. If you can't do this, why do you have to do it yourself?
"Also, the identity of the gold medal record should be revealed. You can handle it!"
"good!"
Gu Weili left, and Chen Qi opened the letter and saw that it was written by Ding Qiao himself. He talked about the radio and television's hope of integrating film and television, and asked him about his attitude.
"Film and TV in one?"
Chen Qi leaned back in his chair and thought. Historically, movies were indeed included in the radio and television system.
In 1986, Wang Meng took over as the Minister of Culture. He was a writer, and just a writer. What does Zhu Muzhi do? He used to be the president of Xinhua News Agency and the deputy minister of the Ministry of Truth, in charge of news and propaganda.
The resume of the top leader indirectly reflects the functions of the Ministry of Culture, and this is also true. Movies, publishing, and copyrights have all been taken away.
So the country has made up its mind that movies cannot be retained. So what role do you play?
Chen Qi thought for a while and suddenly smiled. Of course, he still jumped out of the Three Realms and was no longer in the Five Elements. Dongfang Company will not belong to any specific industry system, so it is best to move up.
"The gold medal record is also an undercover agent!"
"Everyone is in danger, Hong Kong's entertainment industry has turned into a spy war scene!"
"ATV: It will not affect the third season of "The Voice"!"
Everyone is numb.
Forget about the movie, why did the record company get involved? At this moment, they all thought, yes! Priscilla Chan's song "Everyone Has a Dream" was written by Dongfang Ren.
No matter how good your memory is, if you think of the Yuan Brothers' "Qi Men Dun Jia" a few years ago, you would have hooked up with her. In fact, there is also a trumpet who wrote "The Unrestrained Women of the Tang Dynasty", but Chen Qi doesn't want to
It was revealed that a Category III film was disgraceful.
In short, the riots have made people in Hong Kong panic, trust among people has been reduced to the lowest level, and everyone looks like an undercover agent.
Taiwan reacted quickly and immediately announced that singers with gold medal records were prohibited from coming to Taiwan and from releasing albums in Taiwan! Oriental Company responded quickly: the albums of several singers have been confirmed to be released in mainland China!
Wang Jie was stupid. He was pro-Taiwan, but he passively surrendered to the Communist Party.
But no one paid attention to his thoughts. Gold Medal Records was relatively stable internally. When Chen Qi blew up Dongfang Ren a while ago, he was mentally prepared.
Otherwise, there is nothing they can do. The contract has been signed and they cannot afford to pay liquidated damages.
"Did Mr. Chen really write songs for me himself?"
"He personally arranges all your promotional activities. Mr. Chen values you very much!"
"Wow!"
Priscilla Chan opened her mouth wide, feeling flattered, and said, "When will Na Na Na show up and meet us?"
"This is an invitation letter for you. You can also go to the New Year's reception together."
Getting out is not a one-and-done solution. There are still a lot of remaining problems. Chen Qi has to solve them one by one. If they are not solved, they will always come back at any time. At the moment, the most important thing is the New Year's reception.
In the blink of an eye, it’s December 31st, the last day of this year.
There is a catering company in Hong Kong called Maxim's Group. At that time, the conditions of domestic airplane meals were very poor. Deng Gongdu criticized it: two bites of bread fell out after one bite, and the food preparation needed to be improved.
In particular, when China and the United States negotiated air travel, in-flight meals were an important part. So they approached Maxim’s Group to cooperate and established the first joint venture in mainland China, Beijing Airline Catering Company.
Why are you looking for Maxim's? Because the Xinhua News Agency branch's annual National Day reception is basically held in a restaurant called Maxim's Palace.
This is pro-mainland.
The China Resources Building has no conditions yet, so Chen Qi held the reception at Maxim's Palace.
In the evening.
Cars arrived one after another, and the doors of each car opened. They were all famous figures in the Hong Kong film industry. Reporters had already been ambushed at the door, taking photos, and saw Fang Yihua, He Guanchang, Cheng Long and others.
Not surprising.
The newspaper list has been announced a long time ago!
The guests were also quite calm and walked into the door with a calm expression. They were in a good mood and even waved to reporters and chatted with each other.
The leftists attended together, which was already a star-studded event. With the arrival of the guests, all the best of Hong Kong's entertainment industry were present.
Fu Qi and Shi Hui were older and sat calmly.
Chen Qi didn't move either. Shi Nansheng led Gu Weili and Jiang Zhiqiang was in charge of entertaining.
"Welcome welcome!"
"The first time we met, I have admired you for a long time!"
There were more than a hundred people in total, and there were eight people per table, so there were only a dozen tables.
Everyone sat down and just chatted, not too nervous.
In the past, the Liberty Association held a cocktail party on October 10th every year, and it was a similar scene. Now it's just that the leftists hold it, and everyone is used to it - whoever wins will follow whoever wins.
And really speaking, if the leftists at least don't donate money, they can save some money.
"Film Fortnightly" was also invited. Shu Qi was restless and glanced at Chen Qi who was not far away from time to time. Mr. Chen finished the right wing,
He didn’t know what he was going to do next, but he had a bad feeling:
The Academy Award is probably one of the goals!
(I got it today and will make it up tomorrow.
Chapter completed!
