After leaving Chung Chu-hong's home, Xia Tian went to the Arts and Entertainment Company again.

"Hello, Boss Xia, hello! Why do you have the nerve to let you go for a trip in person? If you have any questions, just let me go there!" The boss Zhang Guozhong said in surprise and panic when he saw Xia Tian coming.

Today's entertainment company is just a small company. Its artists like Zhou Runfa and Liu Dehua are not yet in the mood. They can only be regarded as TV stars and have not gained a foothold in the film industry. Therefore, they are far from being compared with Tianxia Film in summer.

In addition, his agency itself is dependent on film merchants. If film merchants don’t use their artists, they really don’t even have to eat. So now Zhang Guozhonghui is so surprised to see Xia Tian’s condescending price.

"Mr. Zhang, don't be polite. I came here today to borrow someone from you." Xia Tian said straight to the point.

"Okay, I wonder whom are you going to borrow?" Zhang Guozhong asked hurriedly.

"Oh, I want to borrow Liu Dehua. I have a drama to ask him to be the male lead." Xia Tian said directly.

Zhang Guozhong was stunned, then grabbed Xia Tian's hand and said happily, "Thank you Mr. Xia for his love for Andy Lau, thank you!"

"I knew Andy Lau had potential, and as expected, even Mr. Xia asked him to film a movie." He smiled again.

"You're welcome. Actually, I've fallen in love with him a long time ago. I've gotten up this morning and went to plead with Sir Shao. But I'm one step late and I'll be poached first." Xia Tian also said frankly.

"That's really a hero who sees it all the same." Zhang Guozhong smiled. "Actually, the reason I like Chinese Huazai is because of Teddy Robin's recommendation. He has worked with him before and has a deep impression of this young man. My uncle Tan Yulin also praised this young man very much, thinking that he is very polite, down-to-earth and willing to work hard."

"Mr. Xia, you also know that if you want to stand out in this industry, although talent is important, acquired diligence is more important, especially character is the most important. So I think Andy Lau will stand out." Zhang Guozhong said again.

Xia Tian nodded, and he also agreed with Zhang Guozhong's view.

Working in the entertainment industry, talent, diligence and character are really indispensable.

Many artists are obviously very talented, but they are trying to die. They fish for three days and run the net for two days. They are unwilling to work, and even the best talent is wasted.

Like TVB's famous actress Lan Jie-chan, she was named "The Beautiful Wutai Mountain" when she debuted, and she was overwhelmed by all the beauty. She was also highly praised by the company and had talent for acting. However, because she was unwilling to work, she was frequently hidden by the company and eventually fell into a tragic situation of poverty and mental disorder.

However, artists with poor talent can make up for their shortcomings through acquired efforts, diligence, temper themselves, accumulate experience, and eventually become first-line superstars.

Like the laughing aunt Ng Junru, because she was not outstanding in appearance, she could only play roles such as dancers and concubines when she debuted. But she did not give up on herself, but instead worked hard on filming. At most, she made fifteen movies a year. She tried four days and four nights without a serious break. Finally, she achieved her true success. She was not only the most box office actress in Hong Kong, but also won the Best Actress Award for the Two Film Awards.

There are also artists with talent and diligence, but their character is poor. They hold high and low, forget their righteousness when they see profit, and be arrogant. Even if an artist like this becomes popular for a while, they cannot last long.

For example, a male star who met on Monday was repeatedly exposed to have poor character after becoming famous, arrogant, domineering, and disrespectful to the media. As a result, when his career was at its peak, someone was exposed to cheating scandals. Then the media followed the trend and took advantage of the situation, but none of them spoke for him, which shows the difference in popularity.

Even if an artist with good character has a slowdown in his career, he will always have a noble person to help him, and sooner or later he will have a day to make a comeback.

Like Lin Qingxia, who is famous for her high emotional intelligence in the circle, she has a lot of friends all over the world, and even Deng Lijun, Zhang Guorong, Xu Ke, Qiong Yao, Long Yingtai, Sanmao, Lai Shengchuan, Li An and others are her good friends.

In the late 1980s, Lin Qingxia's career declined, and was stolen by young actresses such as Hu Huizhong, Wang Feixian, Zhang Manyu, etc., and even had the idea of ​​retiring. However, a "Rolling World" by her friend Sanmao won the Golden Horse Award for Best Actress; a "Swordsman's Proud Wanderer: The Oriental Unbeaten" by her old friend Xu Ke was born out of nowhere, helping her regain her reputation and becoming popular again.

Xia Tian has worked hard in this industry for ten years and has seen countless ups and downs, so he still agrees with Zhang Guozhong's point of view.

He also knew that Liu Dehua was a good artist with talent, diligence and character, so he became famous for 30 years and remained famous for his thirty years.

But the more this happens, the more he regrets it. If he had known that he would ask some days in advance, Liu Dehua would have been able to enter his company.

"Oh, don't say these gossips anymore." He waved his hand, "Mr. Zhang, do you agree to let Andy Lau appear in my movie?"

"Of course, Mr. Xia's movies are both well-known and popular. We can't ask for them, so why would we refuse?" Zhang Guozhong said with a smile.

The box office of summer movies has exceeded 20 million, and it is well received and popular. Liu Dehua is a newcomer who has just entered the film industry. Being able to take on summer movies is something that is very proud of, so how could he refuse?

"But Mr. Xia, there is something I have to tell you. Andy Lau still has a movie to shoot, so the schedule needs to be coordinated. I wonder if it is okay?" Zhang Guozhong asked again.

When Xia Tian heard this, he frowned. Actually, he didn't like actors to play.

Because making movies is a very rigorous thing, the actors need to devote themselves to the roles to perform well.

The so-called "not crazy and not living" refers to this.

Once an actor starts filming several movies at the same time, his energy is distracted, so how can he devote himself to the role?

Even if the filming is done, the actors and roles will be separated, which will make it awkward to watch.

"How long will it take for his filming to finish that drama?" Xia Tian asked.

"I don't know this. He was filming a scene with Brother Hong Jingbao, and I don't know how Brother Hong arranged it." Zhang Guozhong shook his head and said.

Xia Tian was stunned and blinked, "Can he filmed "Summer Lucky Star"?"

"Hey, how did you know, Mr. Xia? It's this one!" Zhang Guozhong said in surprise.

Xia Tian smiled bitterly, "Can I not know? This script was written by me. OK, I will discuss it with Brother Hong and adjust the schedule."

"That would be great." Zhang Guozhong breathed a sigh of relief.

He can't afford to offend Xia Tian, ​​and even more so he can't afford to offend Hong Jingbao. No matter which drama Liu Dehua refuses to take on, he will offend people. Fortunately, Xia Tian takes the initiative to take on this problem, which reduces a lot of trouble.

"Let's talk about the pay, too." Xia Tian said again.

"Okay." Zhang Guozhong nodded quickly, "Since it's Mr. Xia's show, we will charge a little less for a 100,000 Hong Kong dollars, how about it?"

Xia Tian is a new director who is famous in Hong Kong today. His movies have been popular in the box office, and they are both well-known and popular. Working with him, the popularity of artists can be greatly improved. For example, Lam Zhengying transformed from an 18th-tier green match and became one of the most popular male stars at the moment.

Therefore, for the long-term consideration, artists can receive a small part of their pay when taking on his plays. This is also a common practice in the entertainment industry. There are even examples of artists having to take part in the plays of famous directors if they have to pay zero or pay less.

"The price is very reasonable." Xia Tian nodded, knowing that even when Liu Dehua became famous, his salary was only one or two million. Now he is just a newcomer, and 100,000 Hong Kong dollars is considered good.

"In addition to this drama, I also want to sign twenty more movies with Andy Lau." Xia Tian said again.

While he has not yet achieved success, of course he has to take action first. Otherwise, in two years, it will not be a matter of more than 100,000 or 200,000 yuan.

"Gudong!" Zhang Guozhong swallowed hard, "Twenty movies?! Mr. Xia, this is too exaggerated!"

Generally, when film companies sign contracts with celebrities, they can only sign four or five movies at most.

Because all the stars are seafood, they are still popular this year, and no one will care about it next year. Generally speaking, it takes about a year and a half to finish the five movies, which happens to be a test period.

If the celebrity continues to become popular, it will continue to sign the contract; if the celebrity's momentum declines, you can also stop the loss in time.

But like Xia Tian, ​​it is really exaggerating to sign twenty movies at once. Many actors don’t act so many dramas in their lifetime.

Twenty dramas, even if you shoot four movies a year, it will take five years to shoot.

"Not exaggerating at all." Xia Tian smiled, "I am optimistic about Andy Lau's potential. I think he will definitely become popular, so I am willing to take this risk."

"Okay. But how do you calculate the pay?" Zhang Guozhong asked again.

Andy Lau has a high chance of becoming famous in the future, and his salary may exceed one million. If the salary is only 100,000, he will lose a lot.

"Let's do this, I'll calculate the pay for these twenty movies at 200,000." Xia Tian suggested, "What do you think of this price?"

You should know that in addition to first-tier superstars such as Cheng Long, Xu Guanjie, Hong Jingbao, and Xu Guanwen, popular comedians such as Feng Chufan, Wu Yaohan, and Xu Guanying have a pay of only 300,000 to 400,000 yuan. They have been working in the film industry for many years and have won the box office championship.

Even if Liu Dehua develops well, he may reach the level of Feng Chufan, Wu Yaohan, Qin Xianglin and others in a few years, and may even become a box office poison like Zhou Runfa, so the price of 200,000 is actually very reasonable.

"I think it's pretty good." Zhang Guozhong nodded. He knew that the 200,000 yuan salary was already a sky-high price for a newcomer like Liu Dehua. You should know that he was so tired that he was so tired that he had a monthly salary of only more than 10,000 Hong Kong dollars.

"But I have to discuss it with Andy Lau." Zhang Guozhong said again.

"Okay, then I'll wait for your news." Xia Tian smiled, "Okay, I won't bother you anymore, I'll say goodbye first."
