"By the way, Mr. Xia, have you set up several branches in the mainland and recruiting people?" After talking about the movie, Gong Li asked Xia Tian again.

"Yes, now is the time when Hong Kong films are developing rapidly and talents are needed. Unfortunately, Hong Kong is in a small place, with scarce talents and insufficient supply. The mainland is full of talents and low wages, which is just right for use." Xia Tian nodded, "To be honest, the new company has attracted a large number of stars in less than two months after it was established. For example, Liu Xiaoqing, Lin Fangbing, Zhang Tielin, etc., they have signed them to me now."

"Really, wow, it's really good." Gong Li said in surprise when he heard this.

Liu Xiaoqing, Lin Fangbing, Zhang Tielin and others are all well-known mainland movie stars. To be honest, they seem to be more famous than her. I didn’t expect that they would sign it to Xia Tian, ​​which was really unexpected.

"By the way, I thought you would sign in to my company, but why didn't you see you on the list of signing artists?" Xia Tian asked in confusion again. To be honest, Gong Li didn't sign a contract with the Tianxia Entertainment Branch, which really surprised him. He originally thought Gong Li would be the first to sign a contract.

"I was just about to tell you about this. Actually, I really wanted to sign a contract with you, but the school teachers didn't want me to sign it." Gong Li explained, "They advised me to be young and not always think about making money. I should still be assigned to a state-owned factory and shoot a few more excellent works."

When Xia Tian heard this, he was stunned and didn't know what to say.

The branches opened by the Tianxia Entertainment Branch in the mainland are of course private enterprises in nature, and in order to attract celebrities to sign contracts, the conditions offered are indeed quite high.

In the 1980s, even top movie stars like Liu Xiaoqing and Zhang Yu (Lushan Love) only earned a little dead salary, with a monthly salary of only one or two hundred yuan.

The price offered in summer is dozens of times what they earned from their original unit, and they can help them immigrate to Hong Kong, which has attracted so many celebrities to join, including many big stars. Perhaps it is precisely because of this that it is regarded as "rich" by some people.

In addition, the mainland has not been changed for a while, and people's concepts have not been reversed. They look down on private enterprises and think that they look at money, unlike state-owned film factories that mainly focus on art, so the teachers of the Central Academy of Drama advised Gong Li in this way.

To be honest, Xia Tian was really unhappy when he was misunderstood so much. But he also knew that it was not something that could be done overnight to reverse this prejudice.

The only thing he can do now is to set a good example and let people know that the Tianxia Entertainment Branch is not fake, it can make good movies and make celebrities famous. In this way, people will naturally have confidence in it, and naturally more talents are willing to come here.

In addition, all the words are false. Even if he says something is full of splendor and golden lotus gushing in the ground, people will not be convinced if they don’t see the benefits.

"Since that's the case, it seems that this movie must be done well." Thinking of this, Xia Tian decided to say.

Originally, he only wanted to invest in a movie to make Gong Lihao film. But now he decided to increase his investment and make this new movie a representative work of the Tianxia Entertainment Branch to create its golden sign.

"Well, if you do this, you will have to make a classic work." Xia Tian pondered.

"Mr. Xia, what are you thinking?" Gong Li couldn't help asking curiously when he saw his thoughtful look.

"I'm thinking about what script to write for your movie." Xia Tian said with a smile.

"Did you think of it?" Gong Li asked curiously when he heard this.

She knew that summer was great at writing scripts. He wrote "Mom Loves Me Again" before, but it made most of China cry.

"I have a preliminary idea." Xia Tian nodded and smiled.

"Oh, can you tell me?" Gong Li asked curiously.

Xia Tian smiled and said, "During the Republic of China, a female college student named Songlian was sold to the Chen family compound by her greedy mother and became the fourth wife of Mr. Chen..."

He is talking about the movie "The Big Red Lantern Hanging High".

When it comes to Gong Li's most classic works in his acting career, there are some of them, including "Farewell My Concubine", "Living", "The Big Red Lantern Hanging High", "Red Sorghum", etc.

However, the themes of "Farewell My Concubine" and "Living" are relatively sensitive, and even if they are filmed, they may not be released. Moreover, Gong Li is only 24 years old this year and may not play the roles of "Holy Juxian" and Jiazhen".

You should know that the age span of these two characters is very large, and the performance difficulty is naturally very high. Gong Li is still a student after all, and he has only appeared in one drama and his acting skills have not yet reached the point of perfection. It is very challenging to play these two characters.

On the contrary, "The Big Red Lantern Hanging High" is quite suitable for her to play. First of all, the heroine Songlian is a female student, which is consistent with Gong Li's identity, so it is naturally easy to get into the role;

Secondly, this movie is more in line with the tastes of European and American audiences, and they are very interested in the old things about the ancient Oriental. It won the Venetian Silver Lion Award in its previous life, and was nominated for the Academy Award for Best Foreign Language Film, and also set a box office record for Chinese-language films in the United States.

In the 1980s, Chinese people had a fascination with foreign countries, and it seemed that the moons in foreign countries were relatively round. So if "The Big Red Lantern Hanging High" succeeded abroad, it would also help expand its influence in the mainland.

In this way, no one will question whether private films can make good films, and those entertainers who are eager to gain both fame and fortune will no longer linger, but will choose to join the big family of Tianxia Entertainment as soon as possible.

...

After listening to the story told by Xia Tian, ​​Gong Li fell into deep thought.

Speaking of which, her experiences with Song Lian are so similar.

As a female college student in the new era, Songlian has new ideas and new ideas, but is forced to marry the elderly Mr. Chen as her concubine.

After some ideological struggle, she was unable to escape the shackles of fate. She was swallowed up by the corrupt old forces represented by the Chen family compound and became a slave to this old force. From her previous arrogant and self-disciplined female student, she also fell to the point of competing with other concubines and being jealous of an old man. It was so sad.

She herself is also a female college student in the new era. She is also full of ambitions and eager to achieve something, but she also became a underground person in summer, even lower than the ranking of the fourth concubine.

She also experienced a struggle of thought, but in the end she could not escape the temptation of profit or was captured by Xia Tian's wealth and became a slave to money. From the pure, proud and shy female student before, she also fell into betrayal of her body for money benefits, and even became jealous of it.

What's even more terrifying is that Song Lian in the story was frightened by Mr. Chen's cruel family law and wandered around the Chen family compound all day long, like a ghost that never disperses.

And she can no longer live without Xia Tian. Even though she is already a famous Chinese movie star, it is useless. She still needs Xia Tian, ​​his money, and his help. So she is like Song Lian, and she may not be able to escape from Xia's "Chen Family Courtyard" in her life.

Thinking of this, she couldn't help crying.

Seeing this, Xia Tian was shocked, "What's wrong? It's so good, why are you crying?"
