Zhou Hao finally remembered that this Sister Zhen is one of the powerful senior executives of TVB. Her full name is Tsang Lizhen. She was a broadcaster at Radio Hong Kong in her early years. She joined TVB in 1974 and initially worked as an assistant director.
Starting from the beginning, all the time
Later, she became the Drama Production Director of TVB Production Department. Chow Yun-fat, Andy Lau, Tony Leung and other superstars were all made famous by her. The classic Hong Kong drama "The Golden Bough", which later became popular in Hong Kong and mainland China, was produced by her.
Yes.
Zhou Hao had seen Zeng Lizhen in the entertainment news. Of course, she is much younger now than she was more than ten years ago, so Zhou Hao didn't recognize her just now. In the entertainment news in her previous life, Zeng Lizhen was often seen following TVB
The factional struggle appeared in the news.
Factional struggles among the top executives of TVB have always been the darling of Hong Kong entertainment news. Zhou Hao knows that in the future, TVB’s top executives will probably be divided into four factions, each of which is in charge of artists who favor their own, and Tsang Lizhen is one of them.
Except for Lok Yiling and Chen Zhiyun who will join two thousand years later, in 1997, the person who is fighting the most fiercely with Zeng Lizhen is Liang Jiashu, who is also a TVB "veteran" like her. But Zhou Hao
Knowing that Liang Jiashu could not defeat Zeng Lizhen after all, he gradually declined in the next ten years and became the last person in the senior management.
Liang Xiaobing also belongs to the Zeng Lizhen school of artists, because in the intrigues of wireless television, it is difficult to survive without a big tree to rely on, even if Liang Xiaobing has the support of her uncle Luo Jiadong.
"Xiao Bing, is this Mr. Zhou your friend?" Zeng Lizhen smiled at Liang Xiaobing.
Liang Xiaobing glanced at Zhou Hao and nodded to Zeng Lizhen, "Yes, it was thanks to him yesterday, otherwise I would have been arrested by Fang Bingrun. I didn't expect that their people would actually find their way to the studio today, Sister Zhen,
I’m really sorry, it’s me who has caused trouble to everyone.”
Zeng Lizhen shook her head, "It's okay. Don't worry, you are from our TVB, and the company will protect you. I will tell Sister Hua what happened today. Although Uncle Liu and Sister Hua are not in Hong Kong now, Fang Bingrun is afraid
Don't dare to be blatant
You can't get along with us." The "Sister Hua" she was talking about was Fang Yihua, a confidante who had been with Run Run Shaw for decades. According to Zhou Hao's memory, Fang Yihua and Run Run Shaw went to Las Vegas on May 6 this year.
Gas registered and officially married.
Tsang Lizhen said that both Shaw and Fong Yihua are not in Hong Kong now, and it seems that they are registered in Las Vegas in the United States.
At this time, I heard Zeng Lizhen say to Liang Xiaobing: "Xiaobing, your contract will expire next year. What do you think? Will you renew the contract with the company?"
"I want to think about it." Liang Xiaobing hesitated slightly. As Wang Weiwen said, TVB squeezes its artists very seriously. The most important thing is the distribution of income from advertising endorsements and the intensity of the work. Moreover,
During this period, Asia Television also extended an olive branch to Liang Xiaobing. The combination of these factors made Liang Xiaobing waver when her contract with TVB was about to expire.
"It's right to think about it. After all, this is not a trivial matter." Zeng Lizhen said with a smile. Liang Xiaobing has been at TVB for so many years, and Zeng Lizhen knows her very well. She knows that Liang Xiaobing is the kind of person who "takes the soft and not the hard"
People, the more you use high-pressure tactics against her, the more she will react against you, so Zeng Lizhen adopted a gentle approach.
At the same time, she also looked at Zhou Hao, "Mr. Zhou, I would like to ask abruptly, what industry are you engaged in now? I wonder if you are interested in joining the entertainment industry." Her eyes kept lingering on Zhou Hao, "I see you
You have great potential to develop in the entertainment industry, and I saw just now that you seem to have learned martial arts, which makes it easier. If you are interested, our company can provide you with a broad development platform."
Zhou Hao is tall, handsome and has an extraordinary temperament. Even an elderly woman like Zeng Lizhen is inevitably tempted, let alone those young people who like to chase stars. Moreover, Zeng Lizhen has been working in TVB for so many years, and her eyesight is still very vicious.
I immediately saw the hidden potential in Zhou Hao.
In her opinion, if the packaging is appropriate and Zhou Hao can live up to his expectations, it will not be difficult for him to become a superstar like Andy Lau and Tony Leung. Moreover, if she has Zhou Hao, a "potential stock" with unlimited future, Zeng Lizhen will
The fight with Liang Jiashu will also greatly gain the upper hand.
"Thank you very much for your kindness, Sister Zhen, but I understand that I am quite busy with my usual work, so I'm afraid I won't be able to take care of other things." Zhou Hao smiled and declined Zeng Lizhen, "So, I can only say sorry to you, Sister Zhen.
"
Next to him, Su Lin thought to himself that with Zhou Hao's own wealth, there was no need to become a star. If Zhou Hao was willing, he could even acquire the entire TVB.
Of course, this statement is only based on the book value of TVB. The book value of TVB is more than 16 billion Hong Kong dollars, and Zhou Hao currently has about the same amount of funds. However, the real value of TVB is not just that.
She also has a vast television network, a stable audience base and other invisible intangible assets. This television aircraft carrier built by Run Run Shaw is not so easy to sink.
After Zeng Lizhen heard Zhou Hao's polite refusal, she wanted to try harder, but she saw Liang Xiaobing next to her secretly winking at her, and Su Lin over there also looked like he was watching the show, so she wisely said nothing.
.
Then, Zeng Lizhen went to her office to discuss business with Liang Xiaobing and Wang Weiwen. At the same time, she also sent a staff member to act as a guide for Zhou Hao and Su Lin to take them to visit the TV City.
In the office, Zeng Lizhen asked Liang Xiaobing: "Xiaobing, why did you stop me just now? I think that Zhou Hao has the potential to develop in the entertainment industry. He may become the second Andy Lau or Tony Leung."
But Liang Xiaobing smiled and said, "Sister Zhen, he won't agree, and there is no need to develop and make profits in the entertainment industry."
"Is he a descendant of one of those aristocratic families? But that shouldn't be the case. I know all the young men in Hong Kong."
Liang Xiaobing said: "He is very rich, but he is not from a noble family. He opened an investment company of his own, and his business is very good. His income is much higher than being an artist." She did not tell Zeng Lizhen all the truth about Zhou Hao.
In order to avoid unnecessary trouble, she only told Zeng Lizhen that Zhou Hao was very rich and did not need to be an actor.
Zeng Lizhen was also very disappointed after hearing Liang Xiaobing's explanation, but she had no choice but to do so because she knew that those children from rich families and tycoons did not bother to be actors, because in the eyes of those people, actors and artists were just actors. Compared with
After all, they prefer to support and tease those actors.
Putting aside this matter, Zeng Lizhen talked about the contract renewal with Liang Xiaobing again, "Xiaobing, I have always been very optimistic about you, and you have never let me down. How about it? If you agree to renew the contract with the company,
I can make you a promise that the dramas you will film in the future
, no matter how much screen time you have, I will pay you 50,000 yuan per episode, and your monthly fixed salary will also be increased by 20% from before." She also received the news that Asia Television wanted to poach Liang Xiaobing, so she did not hesitate to do so.
Promised excellent conditions to Liang Xiaobing.
"However, here in the company, the frequency of filming dramas is too frequent. If this continues for a long time, I am afraid that my body will not be able to bear it."
"Let's do this." Zeng Lizhen said, "I'll give you an upper limit. The maximum is five TV series per year. We can film one TV series in an average month. In total, you have at least half a year to control it yourself." She said seriously.
Looking at Liang Xiaobing, "Xiaobing, I have already treated you very well. If it were anyone else, I wouldn't even bother to talk to them."
In fact, what Liang Xiaobing is most concerned about is whether she can get a rest. Now that Zeng Lizhen has given her a promise, she nodded and agreed, "Okay, but I want to sign a three-year contract first, and we will see it after three years."
Is it time to renew the contract?"
"That's no problem." Zeng Lizhen said. Although the three years Liang Xiaobing requested was not that long compared to the six-seven-year contracts of other TVB artists, Zeng Lizhen had at least kept her, "I'll let someone else do it in a few days."
Arrange to formally renew the contract with you. Also, there should be no schedule for you in the next month or two. You can take advantage of this time to accept advertisements or endorsements, or you can take a vacation for yourself.
.”
When they came out of Zeng Lizhen's office, Zhou Hao and Su Lin had also walked around the TV town. Looking at the real settings that were completely different from those in the TV series, Zhou Hao and Su Lin both felt very fresh. At the same time, they were also familiar with the TV series and the TV series.
I have a deep understanding of the filming work of TV programs.
Later, Zhou Hao and Su Lin arrived at her home in Liang Xiaobing's car.
Perhaps because Xiao Lianhu and the others returned home defeated on the set, Fang Bingrun no longer sent people to ambush Liang Xiaobing's house.
Both Liang Xiaobing and Wang Weiwen's homes are in a residential area called "Bi Luo Yuan" in Causeway Bay. They live on the 17th and 18th floors respectively. In addition to being friends and colleagues, they are also neighbors. Liang Xiaobing's home is not big.
, but very comfortable. She obviously put a lot of thought into this home. There are many small potted plants in the room and balcony, which adds a lot of vitality to her small home.
In order to thank Zhou Hao and Su Lin for their help, Liang Xiaobing and Wang Weiwen personally cooked a lunch for them. They cooked Western food such as steak and salad, which made both Zhou Hao and Su Lin feel very fresh.
After spending a leisurely afternoon, Zhou Hao was ready to visit Zeng Yingpei.
"What? The friend you are going to visit is Zeng Yingpei?" After learning who Zhou Hao and Su Lin were going to visit, Liang Xiaobing and Wang Weiwen were shocked. Zhou Hao finally remembered that this Sister Zhen is one of the powerful people of TVB
One of the senior executives. Her full name is Tsang Lizhen. She was a broadcaster at Radio Hong Kong in her early years.
