Chapter 41: Chapter 41: A Chance of Fame
Chapter 41 Chapter 41: Opportunity to become famous
Actors and the media have a symbiotic relationship.
Love each other and want to kill each other, no one can live without the other.
Xiangjiang is the film center of Asia. The two major film giants, Shaw Brothers and Golden Harvest, release five or six movies every month.
As an open place of refuge, a large number of middle-class and wealthy people from both mainland China and Southeast Asia gather here.
This also indirectly created the situation of many beauties in Xiangjiang.
The unspoken rules, or explicit rules, of the film and television industry have spread throughout the north and south. Even in Hollywood, there is a red sofa, not to mention the chaotic relationship between actors.
"The momentum needs to be big. If it doesn't become an instant hit, it will hinder the development of the magazine."
"Looking at how confident Brother Sheng is, there must be someone chosen?"
Lin Huaile agrees with Lin Guosheng's idea. Being a popular actor or star will indeed attract people's attention.
To put it bluntly, this is a gimmick, a gimmick for gentlemen to buy.
"The candidates have been selected. Although the cover is the top priority, I wonder if Le Shao has seen the Oriental Beauty Pageant?"
"She represented Hong Kong and participated in the Miss World beauty pageant in Manila."
"I also won the title of Miss Hong Kong, and now I am hosting "Happy Tonight"!" Lin Guosheng talked eloquently and briefly introduced the resume of the candidate.
As a phenomenal variety show, "Happy Tonight" has quite a few resident female hosts. If they meet the magazine's standards, most of them will automatically be dismissed.
It is impossible for Wang Mingquan and Zheng Yuling to agree to boldly leave the country. One is from a big family, and the other just got a rich boyfriend.
As for Zhu Mimi, her image is more festive and does not suit this tone.
(Tang Bohu points to Tang Mu in Qiuxiang, the wet nurse of the death judge.)
The only one who meets the conditions is Deborah.
"Deborah?"
"The figure is indeed good and hot as hell, but she doesn't seem to need to rely on boldness to stand out, right?" Lin Huaile asked doubtfully.
Deborah became well-known to Hong Kong residents last year when she starred in the TV series "Frenzy". Then at the end of the year, she starred in the TV series "Police Suzie", which made her famous even higher.
She is now a hot film and television star. Will she stand at the front desk and win eyeballs for some money?
"The film and television industry can make people famous quickly, but it cannot make people rich quickly."
"Take "Suzie Policewoman" as an example. One episode is only 300 yuan. Even if a hundred episodes are produced, it will only be 30,000 yuan."
"If she hadn't been good at dancing and went out to host the opening ceremony, the money would have bought a great deal of peace."
Lin Guosheng's tone was slightly contemptuous. Everyone in the cultural circle knew that Shao Liushu was the reincarnation of Grandet and was attracted by money.
Since he had no competitors, he crazily squeezed the actors under him.
Even though they may look glamorous, they still earn more money than employees of large companies.
But then again, if it weren't for Infinite's interpretation training classes, these so-called actors wouldn't know where they would be working as coolies.
"Since Editor Lin is sure of winning, I won't say anything else."
"The cover is important, but that doesn't mean the other content of the magazine is unimportant."
"If only the cover is attractive and the other content has no merit at all, readers will definitely shout that they have been deceived, and we will not be in business anymore!"
"Gather some help."
"The first floor belongs to your biological brother!"
An expert will know if it is there as soon as he takes action.
Seeing Lin Guosheng's self-satisfied look, Lin Huaile immediately knew how to make good use of people. With a few words of advice, he finalized this hasty interview.
As for the other staff of the magazine, they were also handed over to him.
How long has he been in the media industry? Lin Guosheng must know exactly who is the idiot and who is the elite.
As for the contract that Lin Guosheng was most concerned about, Lin Huaile also notified Zhang Wentian and asked him to handle it.
After we finished talking, we continued cleaning until night fell and the entire West Hong Kong and Kowloon area came to life again.
The street in front of the magazine is occupied by various food stalls and stalls, and the dim light bulbs are all lit up, making the darkness colorful.
Residents of nearby housing estates poured onto the streets like prisoners released from prison, and began to enjoy the nightlife that belongs to the poor at the bottom of Hong Kong.
Lin Huaile likes this kind of very civilian night market, he likes the excitement.
This is a problem he suffered after returning from southern Yunnan. After staying in Shiwan Mountain for a long time, he really needs to take a look at his popularity.
Not to mention, the night market in Xiangjiang is really lively. The West Kowloon Police Station is at the corner, and the night market is right behind it, forming a triangle.
The policemen don't care. As long as there are no fights, they let the vendors organize themselves. It's all about making a living, so why bother!
Lin Guosheng wanted to go home for soup and explain why he resigned.
Lin Huaile did not force him to stay, and made an appointment to eat Tianjiu wings when the magazine officially opened.
The bathroom was almost cleaned, so he called his followers and went downstairs to eat.
These guys had long been complaining that they were hungry, but when they saw their boss talking about something, they had no choice but to endure it. Their stomachs growled, and when they heard the signal for dinner, they immediately dropped the broom in their hands and ran out.
Seeing the change, Changmao shook his head helplessly, locked the door, and then caught up with everyone.
Lin Huaile was walking in the night market. On both sides of the road, there were uncles selling Indian sacred oils, goddesses who performed divination for people, middle-aged teachers selling cheap clothes for ten yuan each, and people working hard to stir-fry in front of the food stalls. Shirtless master.
This somewhat noisy shouting put Lin Huaile in a good mood and made him feel that he was living more truly in this world, which comforted his uneasiness.
"Brother Le, these boys have been saying they are hungry for a long time."
"You haven't eaten anything all afternoon. What do you want to eat? Cart noodles or bowls of wings? Or a bowl of rice rolls?" Changmao said, pointing to several crowded food stalls not far ahead.
Lin Huaile has been spending money like water lately, and the bird shop has not been reopened yet. The money in his hands will be less if he spends more money.
In addition, these guys have huge appetites and don’t know how much they can eat.
The emperor will send troops if he is not hungry!
How to make your subordinate Ma Zai work hard is to bribe him with every little thing in his daily life.
Although the money on hand is not much, it is not enough to afford food.
"When I came here, I saw a restaurant on the street, and the signboard said it was a seafood business."
"Everyone has been tired for a long day. We really need to eat something good."
"There are still people in the dormitory who haven't eaten yet, so we have to bring them some midnight snacks."
"Haonan, take someone to reserve a seat first and ask the manager to reserve two tables."
"Tonight, I'll take you to eat Brother Changmao's favorite steamed grouper!"
In fact, Lin Huaile is very interested in these local snacks in Hong Kong. After all, the appearance in Hong Kong movies is still very tempting.
In his previous life, he had eaten a lot of top-notch Cantonese food, but he had never tasted snacks like Chezi Noodles and Rice Roll Rice.
He had eaten it several times in his life, and he found it more appetizing than the food and wine in those big restaurants.
Goodnight everybody
