Chapter 46 is broadcast in advance. If there is gossip, then there is mainstream...
There are gossips, and there is mainstream news. Ming Pao published a brief introduction about Li Daohua.
If Li Daohua had not come to Hong Kong for exchanges, they would not have known that such a writer had emerged from the inland.
Her achievements in the mainland are of no importance to Hong Kong Islanders, as many Hong Kong Islanders believe that mainland literature is just for self-entertainment.
What they hope most is to be able to integrate into the Western cultural circle. Not only literature, but also film and television are moving closer to the West.
The journey to the United States and Hong Kong Island had already begun at this time, but there has been no improvement, and it can even be said to be a complete failure.
The films and TV series they produced themselves were not welcomed there, and the famous actors they sent there just sat on the bench. Not to mention being the protagonist, even being a supporting actor required them to depend on others’ opinions.
When the casting for "Billionaire" was going on, some of their people also applied for the role, but unfortunately they were not selected.
If I could have gotten in touch with Li Daohua at that time, would I have had a chance to star in "Billionaire"? You know, this movie made many characters famous, even the supporting roles in it became famous.
Hong Kong Island is more concerned about the stance of celebrities. They are public figures, and their every move is watched not only by ordinary people but also by their superiors.
Many celebrities are attracted by Li Daohua's resources in America, but they dare not contact her for fear of being accused of something.
The stars in Yindu don’t have so many taboos. They are already famous figures on the list. It’s not easy to have such a powerful helper around them, so of course they have to use it.
Li Daohua is often surrounded by celebrities from the Yindu organization who would recommend themselves, talking about what movies they have filmed and what styles they are good at.
At first she didn't know why this happened, but after Zhang Xinyan reminded her, she finally realized it.
He said with a smile: "I am not familiar with the film companies in America. I have only written two novels."
"But both of your novels have been made into movies. This is a rare opportunity for them. They have to give it a try no matter what."
Opportunities are like this, you have to be prepared at all times to seize them.
In fact, their guess was correct. Li Daohua could really help them enter the American film and television industry.
Ian's current entertainment company is now quite famous. It's not because of how many great movie stars it has, but because the stars in his company are treated much better than other stars.
When the company was first established, Ian had to personally support the actors and buy afternoon tea.
Later, the assistants brought by the stars helped them do these things, which was completely different from other companies that exploited them to death.
Of course, not everyone would do such a thing as repaying a favor.
Several supporting roles in "Billionaires" are actors from Ian's company. They had never acted in a movie before, but it was their first time in filming, and they were able to play supporting roles in such a popular movie, and not just ordinary supporting roles.
After becoming famous, he became too proud of himself. If other companies gave him a little sweetness or revealed some misleading information, he would happily terminate the contract with Ian and change jobs.
Ian is not stupid either. He has to pay a large sum of liquidated damages before he can leave.
For actors like them, the companies that poach them will certainly not pay for their breach of contract fees, as they are not the big actors that are long sought after.
There are many actors who become a little famous every year, and there are also many who become mediocre later on.
At that time, many actors' family conditions were not very good. Those from really wealthy families would not choose to be actors because it was hard, tiring and life-threatening, and they could not earn any money.
Being an actor at that time was very different from the later domestic entertainment.
Of course, you can't afford the penalty for just making one movie, even if the boss is a good one like Ian.
But some people are determined to seek death, so they actually sold their houses, added loans, and scraped together enough money to pay the penalty and successfully changed jobs.
The company he switched to was indeed a large, established company that produced a large number of films every year, so its actors never had to worry about having no films to shoot.
The person who switched jobs was a male star. His whole family supported him very much, so they helped him raise money. He thought that after joining Michael's company, he would become famous overnight and become a star that everyone would pay attention to.
Money and fame are all within reach.
"He's just dreaming," Ian commented.
After switching jobs from a male star, he played a supporting role in a movie, but after that, the response was scant, and his roles became less and less important.
There are so many excellent actors in the company, most of whom are talented. If you want a good role, you have to work hard.
In Ian's company, the actors have to study for two or three hours every day when they are not filming, learning cultural knowledge and acting skills.
Of course Ian knows that some of these people are just vases with empty brains. What he needs to do is to activate the vase and make him outstanding.
It's different at Michael's company. If you're good enough, you'll stay. If you're not, you'll leave. Being an actor is your own job and no one can help you. If you want to learn, that's fine. You pay for it yourself and learn however you want.
Just one thing, don’t delay the company’s work.
The actor, who had already paid the penalty once and was completely unable to pay the second time, had to live in a rented house with his family.
Apart from recommending myself to the director, I would go out to do odd jobs every day to supplement the family income.
After traveling around, he realized what a good boss Ian was. He even went back to look for Ian, hoping that he would find him a job so that he could make a movie because of their past friendship.
Faced with such a person, Ian just asked the guard to come and take him away and never let him in again.
"We are just a small company." This is what the actor said at the beginning, and now it is returned to him.
His experience frightened the actors in Ian's company, and those who had thought about it were even more scared. Fortunately, they were poor at the time and could not afford the penalty, and their families did not support them.
Ian also told Li Daohua that he hoped she could recommend a few Asian faces. Even though they couldn't be the protagonists, they could sometimes play indispensable supporting roles.
Li Daohua knew this supporting role. She had seen too many such side dishes.
Especially in some science fiction movies, they like to use one or two Asian faces to represent Dongda and discredit Dongda. (India: Yes, it is our great oriental country.)
Because of this, she has not recommended anyone and does not plan to do so for the time being. She will only recommend someone if there is a role she thinks is suitable.
The media in Hong Kong Island focuses on lawlessness and will not stop until they make shocking statements.
Many of the novels written by Li Daohua are mainly about China's reform and opening up, as well as the changing times. This is difficult for people in Hong Kong to understand, so they simply don't try to understand it.
It would be better to pull Li Daohua into the field they are good at. What they are good at now is of course martial arts novels and martial arts dramas. "Shaolin Temple" is a martial arts drama.
"Mainland China ignores Hong Kong martial arts novels"
"Li Daohua has no love for traditional culture"
"Silver City challenges the Hong Kong film industry, no one dares to respond"
…
The above story was so exaggerated that if Li Daohua didn't know that she had no contact with any reporters recently, she would have believed that the above content was really what she said.
The paparazzi took the photo of her from somewhere. The blurry photo coupled with the unfounded words really got them started.
Li Daohua has never written a martial arts novel. The drama that Li Daohua and Yindu co-produced is also a modern drama, which can allow them to make a big fuss about it.
The people who came out together were all angry when they saw the articles in the newspapers and thought they were going too far.
"Teacher Daohua, you don't have to pay attention to them, they are just a bunch of clowns."
Li Daohua still has the leisure to read the newspaper. This is just the beginning. When she thinks about the distorted opinions her colleagues output in order to make money and to gain popularity, one article can make one of their accounts go viral.
The kind of fire caused by cyber violence.
The comment section, backstage private messages, and even other company accounts were all filled with people coming here to curse the entire company.
Even so, they are still contented because their company is popular and making money.
If these people saw the screen full of curses at that time, they would probably explode on the spot.
Zhang Xinyan felt that if this continued, it would definitely affect their cooperation with the inland areas.
It happened that ATV had just been reorganized successfully at that time and needed a suitable TV to compete with TVB. Zhang Xinyan contacted ATV with the five episodes he had already filmed.
"Someone from Yindu?"
"Yes, it is said to be a TV series co-produced with the mainland."
Qiu Degen had just taken over Asia Television and changed its name. It was the time to make drastic changes and make bold innovations.
He himself also intends to cooperate with the mainland. He made his fortune in the film industry and has a relatively good understanding of the film industry.
He is very optimistic about "Shaolin Temple", and he is also very optimistic about the co-production model.
In his opinion, after he became rich, he built the amusement parks "Song City" and "Tang City" on Hong Kong Island. After all, these were just small amusement parks and could not be compared with the real Song City and Tang City in the inland.
When shooting a costume drama, it is better to shoot inland to make it more realistic and grand.
This time, "Shaolin Temple" was filmed on real locations in the inland.
"Let them in." Although he heard that this co-production was not a costume drama, let alone a martial arts drama, Qiu Degen felt that he still had to give the other party face.
He himself started from scratch, so naturally he wouldn't look down on others.
“I’ve heard so much about you!”
Not long after the two sides exchanged greetings, Zhang Xinyan took the initiative to suggest a try, which was exactly what Qiu Degen wanted.
Although "Above the Rooftop" has been making headlines recently because of Li Daohua, the specific content has been kept very secret by Yindu, and the media only knows that it is a modern drama.
Qiu Degen was very satisfied with the Kowloon Walled City location at the beginning. It was full of life and the crew was very hardworking. Kowloon Walled City was not safe at all.
After watching only two episodes, Qiu Degen decided to buy "Above the Rooftop".
"On the Rooftop" is different from other TV dramas and movies in Hong Kong. It seems there is a reason why they don't care about the previous rumors about martial arts novels.
There are many people who have written martial arts novels and made martial arts dramas. This one takes a different approach, and especially one that is so good, it can definitely stand out from the crowd.
He has also been involved in the real estate industry, and one has to say, the water here is indeed deep. Watching this drama gave him some inspiration.
“It’s a pleasure to work with you!”
“It’s a pleasure to work with you!”
Silver Metropolis Television and Asia Television have jointly produced the TV series "On the Rooftop", which will be broadcast at 7 o'clock next week during prime time.
ATV has started teasing the new TV series and also released a small portion of behind-the-scenes footage, featuring brand new actors, familiar sets, and exquisite makeup.
Compared to the old actors that people are used to watching, the new faces also give Hong Kong people a refreshing feeling.
