Chapter 416 The Birth of Wireless Artist Training Class
"Training class? Okay, I'll go back and study it." Zou Wenhuai also agreed.
It is indeed too inefficient to wait at home for some people to come to the company and say they want to perform; but by setting up a training school, young people can be gathered together and taught in a unified way. It's much more convenient.
Yang Wendong added: "As for movies and TV, I am not very professional, so my opinions are limited;
In the future, you can refer to Hollywood more and take a look. How they develop there, but you can’t blindly learn from it. Just learn some good things.”
"Yes." Zou Wenhuai nodded in agreement.
Yang Wendong said: "That's it, I'm also waiting for the Hong Kong film market to produce movies that sell well throughout Asia."
Now history has changed, maybe in the 1980s and 1990s Movies that have become popular in Asia may start in the 1970s under their own promotion, especially Li Xiao Long
However, according to the information he has investigated so far, Li Xiaolong is still in the martial arts school and has not gone to Hollywood, so he has not gone to find him yet. Because he is not in Hollywood, he may not like Hong Kong. Films or if Hong Kong films can be better because of their own influence, there may be opportunities to change.
But it is not suitable at the moment, and without the setbacks in Hollywood, it is difficult to say whether Li Xiaolong can have the same achievements in Hong Kong. Li Xiaolong is still too young now, and it may not be certain if he comes to Hong Kong too early. Can explode.
Zou Wenhuai asked again: "Yang Sheng, what is the name of this training class? Changxing artist training class?"
"This small college should not bear the name of Changxing." Yang Wendong thought for a while and said: " There is also a high demand for people at TVB, which is called Wireless Arts But the two of you run this project together, and you allocate the talents internally.”
The words Changxing are worth tens of thousands of dollars in Hong Kong today, and non-core companies may have great potential. Most enterprises cannot be labeled with these two words.
"Wireless artist training class? Okay." Zou Wenhuai nodded and smiled: "Qi Sheng will be very happy to hear this."
After meeting with the boss, Zou Wenhuai Sitting in the car, I was thinking about how to arrange the things assigned by the boss.
With Yang Wendong's financial resources, many things are explained in general terms, but the specifics are based on the understanding of his subordinates. It is impossible to ask the boss about every little thing. Otherwise, what else would you do?
In the process of doing things, the boss may or may not be satisfied. This is to test the understanding and execution ability of professional managers, and then gradually learn lessons from the dissatisfaction of some bosses.
For example, if this appropriately increases the income of actors, how much can it increase? Yang Wendong didn't make it clear. Zou Wenhuai had to decide everything by himself. It didn't matter if he improved too little or too much.
After returning to Tseung Kwan O, he didn't go back to the office directly, but asked the driver to go to the film and television city. , here, Wang Yu is also filming a movie.
Zou Wenhuai watched from a distance as Wang Yu rode on his horse and fought with many people, several of whom had bruises on their noses and faces.
"Click~" After the director stopped, many medical staff immediately came forward to treat the people on their hands
This is also the benefit of the film and television city. There is a small health clinic directly here, and they are dedicated here. If any When filming a martial arts plot, there will be doctors and nurses waiting, who can treat injuries in time. Otherwise, it would be like the previous model, where everyone is filming, enduring minor injuries by themselves, and rushing to the hospital for major injuries, which is time-consuming, laborious and expensive.
Wearing ancient clothes Wang Yu, who was pretending, immediately put down his weapon when he saw Zou Wenhuai, ran over and greeted: "Brother Zou."
"Wang Yu, that's a good shot." Zou Wenhuai smiled, Then he said: "You continue to shoot, I I just came here for a casual look. After you finish shooting, let’s have dinner together.”
Although they have a leadership-subordinate relationship, they are both from Shaw Brothers. They had a good relationship in the past and often had dinner together. Also normal.
"Okay." Wang Yu nodded, and then went to prepare for the fight
The current martial arts movies in Hong Kong are like this. The whole movie basically has no core plot content, it is all about fighting, and the fighting is exciting, so there are a lot of them. People like him, so an actor who can fight and perform artistically is very popular. Wang Yu is such an actor.
It wasn't until dark that the day's filming was completed. Wang Yu immediately cleaned up and went to a hotel near the film and television city.
“Come on, I’ve ordered the food.” Zou Wenhuai said with a smile.
“It looks good.” Wang Yu was not polite and said: “Having this film and television city is really convenient. In the past, we had to go to deserted places to film, and sometimes we had to walk back and forth. The food is also very poor;
Now I really have everything. I don’t have to rush every morning and evening. Even the food is much better than before. "
"Yes, you have to thank Yang Sheng. "Zou Wenhuai said with a smile.
Previous film shootings, especially those involving ancient costumes, had to go to barren mountains to shoot, because modern scenes could not appear in the play. The conditions and transportation made everyone Complaints;
Nowadays, even if the film and television city cannot guarantee everything, at least most of them don’t need to go out to shoot, which reduces a lot of workload.
“Yes, our film and television city is better than Shao. It is even bigger and better built. Wang Yu added: "Our filming cycle has also been shortened a lot. In addition, if the scene is good, we can shoot better, and the movie will look better." ”
"It's not just this. Our group has bought more than 80 theaters in Nanyang. Did you know that?" Zou Wenhuai said with a smile.
Wang Yu nodded and said: "Of course I know, this matter makes us very excited. In the future, if the company makes a lot of money, our bonuses will also be larger."
Changxing Film The company is still different from Shaw Brothers. In terms of salary, it is much better. From the extras to the leading actors and other various staff, the income is much higher than when they were in Shaw Brothers.
“It’s not just that.” Zou Wenhuai paused and said, “Wang Yu, Yang Sheng agreed to what you told me last time. In the future, the company will appropriately add main actors, screenwriters and directors. "Income."
"Really?" Wang Yu was overjoyed,
Although his salary has increased a lot since he jumped from Shaw Brothers to Changxing Films, no one will find it too much money, especially when someone from the outside asks him to shoot a movie for a week with his three months' salary. It would be false to say that he is not interested. of.
It’s just that he is principled and knows that he relies on the company to become famous. In addition, he has a good relationship with Zou Wenhuai, so he hinted at it
Zou Wenhuai said: "Yang Sheng's Meaning, if top stars, screenwriters, and directors can rely on their own abilities to produce high-quality movies for the company, they can get dividends from the movie box office; < br>
However, the specific amount I can get has not been decided yet. I need to do a detailed market survey and then report it to Yang Sheng. I will execute it after agreeing. I am telling you now because I want you to feel at ease. Wait a moment. Good times will come in the future."
"Okay." Wang Yu nodded and said, "Brother Zou, thank Yang Sheng for me."
"Just thank you in your heart. I won't talk about such things." Zou Wenhuai added: "But if you work harder and become the most famous martial arts star in Hong Kong and even Asia, you may have the opportunity to meet Yang Sheng directly. Yes, you can thank him then.”
One of the boss’s final plans is to cultivate influential actors in Asia. If it succeeds, there will definitely be a chance to meet Yang Wendong.
"I will definitely work hard." Wang Yu nodded,
Becoming an Asian star was something he never dared to dream about before, but now under the ownership of a large consortium like Changxing Group, it is still possible. There is a chance. Zou Wenhuai said again: "There is one more thing I want to discuss with you. Yang Sheng is planning to establish a special academy for training."
After listening carefully, Wang Yu said: " This idea seems very good. If it succeeds, Hong Kong movies, TV series, and even music and hosting will be able to continuously obtain enough talents. ”
"Yes, this is Yang Sheng's idea." Zou Wenhuai said with a smile: "But I don't know how to start. Wang Yu, you are also an ordinary person. What do you think?"
Wang Yu thought for a moment and said, "What I'm good at is Martial arts, so in this regard, just look for people with this foundation; as for other fields, it should be similar, but it is best to find people with some academic qualifications;
People with academic qualifications have stronger learning abilities. Have studied After being screened by the school, he will be more cooperative with various studies."
"Yes, it's pretty much what I thought." Zou Wenhuai said, "But there is another good news. Yang Sheng is preparing to focus on it. Cultivate you, promote you, and make you an idol for all young people in Hong Kong."
"Really." Wang Yu felt happy after hearing this, and then he understood: "Yang Sheng wants to shape me. , and then attract more people to sign up.”
"Haha, smart." Zou Wenhuai raised his glass and said, "It's a good thing for you. As long as you become more famous, your income will inevitably be higher, and then you will become the idol of more people. "
Wang Yu nodded and said: "Well, thank you brother Zou and Yang Sheng."
"You're welcome, let's make the company better together," Zou Wenhuai said again. "Yang Sheng's goal is very big. He has set his sights on half of Asia. If he really succeeds, Shaw Cathay Pacific will be nothing more than weeds on the roadside."
With the wealth of Changxing Group, If it were not for the Asian market, how could it be possible to participate in the film industry? The total box office in Hong Kong is only a drop in the bucket for Changxing Group.
The news that Chang Hing Film Company and TVB are cooperating to build a wireless artist training academy in Tseung Kwan O quickly spread to every corner of Hong Kong.
"Wireless Artist Training Academy?"
When a group of young people learned about the news from the newspaper, they immediately became curious.
As an actor, can I still train in advance? Doesn’t that mean that many people can try to be stars?
Not only newspapers, but also TVB TV station, have also started similar reports, encouraging young aspiring people in Hong Kong to go to Tseung Kwan O to find and fulfill their dreams of becoming stars.
So, after a few days of publicity, many young people also participated and came to a large courtyard designated in Tseung Kwan O. It used to be a warehouse and has been temporarily converted into a warehouse. Small college.
"Everyone, please write down your resume and leave your address clearly. If it is suitable, we will reply to you and notify you." A woman shouted loudly with a loudspeaker.
However, there were too many people, so I had no choice but to quickly call in the security guards from Kwun Tong's brother company Chang Hing Industrial, and it took a while to stabilize the situation.
Just like this day During the period, the Film and Television Academy received more than 2,000 resumes.
In the evening, Zou Wenhuai and Qi Ruifan, the person in charge of TVB, rushed here. A woman came forward and said: "Zou Sheng, Qi Sheng, there are a total of 2623 resumes here, but we just took a look at them. Down, a lot None of the people meet our requirements in terms of age, education, and experience. Many people working in the factory came over, and we couldn’t stop them. If they said they didn’t meet the requirements, they had to send in their resumes. ”< br>
Zou Wenhuai said with a smile: "This is normal. In the initial publicity, there will be many people who are not aware of the situation. Don't worry about it. Just don't reply to these people. Select some young and educated people, preferably those who have just graduated." That kind of thing, and then we train it from scratch.”
Qi Ruifan also said: “Yes, if there is no suitable skill. Yes, then just find a blank student who looks good, and then we will slowly train them. Everyone learns from scratch. As long as they are willing to learn, we will provide various equipment, on-site operations, and guidance in the future. Then we will definitely Some of them can finally meet our requirements."
"Okay." The woman agreed and left.
Zou Wenhuai said with a smile: "Qi Sheng, with this academy, I think in two years, we will not be short of all kinds of people."
"Yeah" Qi Ruifan He nodded and said, "I have another idea. Craftsmen should also be trained, such as lighting technicians. These positions are now inherited from the family, and there are very few people. Even if we want to continue shooting at night, there is no one;
In our college, we need to break all the talent shortage problems. In the future, when there are enough people, there will be more programs. Yang Sheng told me that TVB is still just in the beginning. ”
“Just starting? Zou Wenhuai asked curiously: "Isn't TVB number one in Hong Kong now?" ”
Free vs. paid, plus the program content is better, so in just a few months, the audience of Li’s TV station completely collapsed, and everyone went to watch TVB.
< br>Qi Ruifan shook his head and said: "It's not that simple. Your movies have done well in the past two years. Can Yang Sheng watch them? Is he looking at the Asian market? The same goes for our TV station. "
"But the TV station can't get out? "Zou Wenhuai asked.
Television stations are the top media control method in each country and basically do not allow foreign capital to be involved. It is also difficult for TV stations from other countries to gain a foothold in one place.
And the language is different, the place is different, the news, advertising, etc. are different, so even if there is no ZZ reason, it is difficult to operate overseas.
Qi Ruifan explained: "It's not a TV station, but TV programs, such as TV series and variety shows. Yang Sheng also told me that he doesn't look at his results in Hong Kong, but watches these TV or programs. "Wanwan, Singapore or other places in Nanyang"
"That's it." Zou Wenhuai nodded and said: "Sure enough, Yang Sheng is not just for Hong Kong, just like my film company. "
Qi Ruifan added: "So my current task is to have enough talents before I can achieve Yang Sheng's goal."
PS: Please give me a monthly pass
