Wang Xiaohu made a call, and the next day, the New Seven Little Fortunes put down their work and went to the Xiehe International Office Building to gather.
The first people to arrive were Stephen Chow, Andy Lau, Tony Leung, and Dicky Cheung. They were sitting in the reception hall on the first floor, discussing something in a low voice.
I heard Zhang Weijian speak: "Senior Brother, do you know why Master called us here?"
Zhou Xingchi held the script of "Two Heavens Supreme" under his arm, shrugged his shoulders and said with a smile: "As your senior brother, of course I don't know."
"That's right!" This remark aroused the contempt of Andy Lau and the other four.
Stephen Chow didn't care. He curled his lips, took out the script from his armpit and said, "Although I don't know why Master called us here, I guess it must have something to do with the script. Look at what I'm holding in my hand." ?¡±
"Is this the script you're talking about?" Andy Lau rolled his eyes and said, "Xing Zai, Master has a new movie to shoot, so he wants you to play a small role again, right?"
"A bit player?" Stephen Chow curled his lips and snorted: "I'm telling you guys who are just bit players, I'm going to make a comeback this time, senior brother. This is the drama series "Two Heavens Supreme" tailor-made for me by Master, haha Haha, I am the leading actor, are you envious?"
"Starring?!" Andy Lau and the other four stared with disbelief on their faces.
"Xingzi, are you having an erotic dream?" Dicky Cheung jumped up and wanted to grab the script and read it, but Stephen Chow raised his hand to stop him: "Go aside, there is no role for you in the script."
"Tch!" Zhang Weijian was frustrated and retorted: "It seems that someone used to hear that he would fight with others when he was playing a small role. He said with confidence: In fact, I am an actor. Now I am a starring role. What a big deal." After saying that, he hugged Andy Lau. The shoulder said: "We, Andy, have been starring in movies a long time ago, right? It's a crappy TV series, how can we show off like this?"
"Damn, I can clearly feel that you are jealous of me!" Stephen Chow glared, but he happily flipped through the script. His air of arrogance made Nicky Cheung and Tony Leung so angry.
This guy didn't care about reading the script. He shook his head and sighed from time to time and commented: "Oh my, the plot is so exciting. There seems to be a friend next to the lead actor who hasn't decided who will play. There are a lot of roles. Wei Zai, I think you have a good image. , after meeting the master later, I will talk to him and ask him to assign you to play this supporting role, okay?"
Tony Leung pursed his lips and smiled, and said nonchalantly: "Okay, thank you, senior brother."
"That's right, Wei Zai, you are the one who is on the right path. It's not like some people who release all kinds of gas from their mouths, which greatly affects my self-esteem!" Stephen Chow said while rolling his eyes at Nicky Cheung.
"Supporting role!" Zhang Weijian screamed, his eyes wanted to burst into flames, he went up and hugged Zhou Xingchi's arm and said: "Elder brother, just think that I just released that messy gas, please don't let me go. As long as I play a supporting role, I can do whatever you want me to do.¡±
"These guys have been playing small roles for several years. Not to mention a supporting role, even if they have a line of dialogue, they will be happy for a long time. How could Nicky Cheung let this opportunity go?
"That's pretty much it." Zhou Xingchi was very happy, enjoying the feeling of being a senior brother. He waved the script in his hand and said, "Listen, you guys, as long as you respect me in the future, I will definitely speak good words for you on Master's side. of."
The guys nodded like chickens pecking at rice. After enjoying it for a long time, Stephen Chow was satisfied and said mysteriously: "I'll tell you a secret, Andy will star with me."
"Damn, we were cheated!" Zhang Weijian shouted: "Beat him!"
Several guys surrounded Stephen Chow, beating and scolding him, it was so lively.
"Hey, please be gentle, don't hit me in the face, I'm the senior brother!" Zhou Xingchi wailed.
"Hey, hey, stop fighting, look, those guys Yan Zai and A Weng are here!" Stephen Chow squatted on the ground and said abruptly.
"Don't be deceived by him. He won't treat you today, and he won't agree to it!" Tony Leung said.
"Yan Zai, come and see, Xing Zai was beaten, haha, it's fun!" Weng Meiling actually came, and she came with Mo Yan.
Seeing Stephen Chow being beaten, Weng Meiling immediately became happy. The two had been vying for the position of senior brother and senior sister a long time ago, and almost always bickered over who was the boss. Today, seeing Stephen Chow being beaten, "Huang Rong" has a petty temper. As a result, he pulled Mo Moyan and walked over there and said, "Ayan, go and help bully Xingzai."??
Shen Moyan looked a little embarrassed and said sheepishly, "That's not good. Xingzai and I have been playing together since we were little."
Weng Meiling raised her face and said dissatisfied: "Okay, you won't help bully him, right? I'll go myself!"
"No, I'll do it." Silent Yan coughed twice. Beauty has her destiny, and no one dares to disobey her. At this time, regardless of his image, he pretended to roll up his sleeves and join the battle group.
"Hey, there is someone who values ??sex over friends, do you want to criticize him?" Stephen Chow took advantage of every opportunity to divert everyone's attention.
Sure enough, Andy Lau, Tony Leung, and Dicky Cheung immediately focused their attention on Weng Meiling and Shen Moyan, so there was another fight. When the employees who came to work saw this, they all stopped to watch.
?????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????? off out of fear that the world would not be in chaos, Queen Xiahoumo was actually fanning the flames.
"Xingzai, don't you know how to use the Tathagata Palm? Oh, I'm going to use the dog-beating stick method!"
"Brother Tiger is here!"
There was a lively commotion in the hall, and someone shouted loudly. The boys and girls who were having fun seemed to have been cast a restraining spell, and they all stood there in a daze, turning to look at the door.
Wang Xiaohu and Zhao Yazhi happened to walk in. Seeing their "strange" postures, they frowned. Just as they were about to say something, Zhao Yazhi beside them hurriedly frowned: "You are so old, but you are still like a child. Quickly pack up and follow me upstairs."
The six people immediately shut up and followed the teacher's wife, peeking at Wang Xiaohu's reaction from time to time.
Wang Xiaohu snorted coldly and asked, "Why don't you see other people?"
He was asking about Huang Rihua, Jet Li, and Donnie Yen.
Zhou Xingchi said: "Ah Huang has to go to TVB to ask for leave first. As for Jie Zai and Dan Zai, they may be practicing with Uncle Li Yuanxin and will arrive later."
"Oh." Wang Xiaohu nodded and said, "That's fine, you guys are here just in time. Come up with me. I have a new task for you." After saying that, he took the lead in walking up the stairs.
The Concorde International Office Building has a total of six floors. There is no elevator. Everyone has to take the stairs to go to work. After all, we are all young people. Climbing the stairs to and from get off work can be considered as exercise. However, every time Mr. Shen Zhong comes here, he always complains to Wang Xiaohu. , who makes it inconvenient for his old arms and legs to go up and down the stairs.
Wang Xiaohu and Zhao Yazhi walked in front, followed closely by the six young apprentices. Stephen Chow did not forget to wink at the others and whispered: "Have I told you before, Master is looking for us for a new TV series."
Zhang Weijian nodded fiercely and said: "Senior Brother, I believe you are right. No matter what, you have to put in a nice word for me."
"Don't worry." Zhou Xingchi patted his chest to confirm, which made Zhang Weijian full of excitement. When he went up the stairs, his feet were particularly strong.
"Everyone, please sit down." After entering the president's office, Wang Xiaohu pointed at the sofa and said, "I called you here today mainly for a few things. The first one is that the company plans to shoot a TV series about gambling."
The six people all pricked up their ears and listened attentively, especially Stephen Chow. This guy put the script of "The King of Two Heavens" on his knees, pressed it with both hands, and raised his chest and abdomen. It was rare to see him being serious.
"Among you, apart from Ah Weng and Hua Zai, Xing Zai, Wei Zai, and Jian Zai have been playing bit parts for several years. They also graduated from the TVB artist training class. It is said that they have also accumulated considerable acting skills. I didn't praise you before, mainly because The market is not yet mature, and now that the company¡¯s development is in full swing, the time is almost here, and the next step is to focus on cultivating you.¡±
As Wang Xiaohu spoke, he looked at the six apprentices, each with an excited expression on their face. Of course, Weng Meiling's situation was relatively good. After all, she was now very popular, and she was at the height of her power between the two major TV stations. Hua Dan's status.
Among the other five, although Andy Lau has also acted as a starring role, he is in a tepid situation in the film and television industry, and is far less prosperous than in the singing industry.
So when they heard that Master was going to promote them to a higher position, each one of them felt as happy as that, clenching their fists, and their whole bodies were trembling with excitement.
After smiling, Wang Xiaohu said: "Don't be too excited, Aweng, you have rich experience in TV dramas. Remember to take care of them during the filming this time."
Weng Meiling nodded and said, "I will." After saying this, she smiled at Zhou Xingchi with her eyes full of crescent moons. The latter shrank and thought, "I'm done, this crazy girl doesn't know how to torment me."
When Weng Meiling looked at Silence Yan, her eyes were watery and full of tenderness, which made Stephen Chow angry, but from his eyes, he was still very optimistic about the pairing of Ah Weng and Yan Zi. (This arrangement is basically in line with "Entertainment Disciple" and was set earlier.)
After her husband finished speaking, Zhao Yazhi did not forget to vaccinate everyone: "?"Double Sky Supreme" is a gambling drama. After the meeting, you all go to the screenwriting department downstairs to get a script. This TV series is the first drama series since the launch of our Phoenix TV station. It is about reputation. Come on Ah Huang, all seven of you must act with your heart, you know? "
"I understand, Master (Sister Zhi)." Everyone nodded like garlic, with extremely serious and solemn expressions.
"The second thing I'm going to talk about now is about the recent relationship issues between you two. I don't want to say anything redundant. I hope you remember one sentence: We are all brothers in the same discipline. We must be in the same spirit at all times. We cannot make any mistakes. It's a matter of internal fighting, otherwise don't blame the master for being rude to you." Wang Xiaohu said with a serious face and a somewhat solemn tone.
"Master, we brothers have a very good relationship with each other. We were joking downstairs just now, haha, we often do this." Zhou Xingchi still thought that his master was blaming him for what happened just now, so he explained bravely.
Wang Xiaohu hummed: "Okay, except Hua Zai, Ah Weng, and Yan Zai, everyone else should go and get the script."
After Stephen Chow left with Nick Cheung and Tony Leung, Wang Xiaohu said to Andy Lau: "Wazai, please wait outside the door first. I have something to talk to Ah Weng and Yan Zai."
The only ones left in the office are Wang Xiaohu, Zhao Yazhi, Silence Yan, and Weng Meiling.
After being silent for a while, Zhao Yazhi chuckled and said: "Ahu, what's that look in your eyes? They are both almost frightened by you."
"Isn't it? He said he had something to talk to someone about, but Wang Xiaohu refused to say anything. He only looked at Shen Moyan and Weng Meiling with his eyes. The latter two looked extremely uncomfortable and did not say anything. They were still pounding in their hearts, feeling a little panic and uneasy.
Fortunately, Zhao Yazhi came to the rescue. If the silence continues like this and no words of silence are spoken, Weng Meiling's temper will collapse.
"Haha, okay, when did you two start?" Wang Xiaohu said with a smile.
"It's been a long time, last year when I was filming "The Condor"." Silent Yan scratched his head and said.
Silent speech, as his name suggests, he rarely speaks under normal circumstances, but the prince's reputation is well known. Although he has been away from gang fights for many years, he still inherits Shen Guohao's genes in his bones. Although he has restrained himself in the past few years, he is the oldest of Wang Xiaohu's nine apprentices. The most stubborn and ruthless character.
One thing comes after another. Facing Wang Xiaohu, the silent words at this time did not have the slightest trace of the "Prince Brother" back then. He was as obedient as a kitten and answered the master's words softly.
Wang Xiaohu nodded again and said, "That's good."
"Dad, did you agree?" Weng Meiling almost thought that she heard wrongly. The two had been dating for more than a year, and they had been hiding it. She was most worried that the master would not agree, but today the master happily agreed.
"Don't be too happy too early." Wang Xiaohu snorted coldly and said: "You two, one is introverted and the other is extroverted. In the future, you must be humble to each other, especially you, Aweng. Don't worry about trivial things. If there are differences in filming. If so, quit the entertainment industry as soon as possible."
"Hehe, don't worry, dad, I will let Ayan do it." Weng Meiling smiled, showing her little tiger teeth and said: "From now on, Ayan and I will learn from you and Sister Zhi, and we will be a model couple in the entertainment industry."
"This girl, even us are being attacked." Zhao Yazhi shook her head and smiled bitterly.
"Yan Zai, you have escaped from the gang. Try not to cause trouble again in the future." Wang Xiaohu sighed and said: "When Brother Shen died and was left alone, his biggest wish was that you could be an ordinary person and not follow his old path."
"I know." He said silently.
Weng Meiling pouted and said, "Dad, that soup thing is deliberately stirring up trouble. It's not A Yan's fault."
"I have already told Run Run Shaw about this. He will not harass you in the future." Wang Xiaohu raised his hand and interrupted: "That's all I want to tell you. Call Andy in on your way out."
"Okay." Weng Meiling said silently and went out. After a while, Andy Lau walked in.
Wang Xiaohu said: "What I want to tell you is relatively simple. In addition to taking over the starring role in "Two Heavens Supreme", you also have to film a martial arts drama by Jin Yong."
"Jin Yong's martial arts drama." Andy Lau's eyes lit up and he hurriedly asked: "Master, which one?"
""The Legend of the Condor Heroes."" Wang Xiaohu said with a smile: "I communicated the specific matters with Run Run Shaw last night and plan to start filming at the end of this year. When you have nothing to do, read more novels and become familiar with Yang Guo's characters."
Andy Lau nodded and asked: "Who is the leading actress?"
"Li Yulian. One of TVB's leading actresses."
"Hey!" Andy Lau grinned and said, "That's great, thank you, Master!"
In the previous life, Andy LauHis fame came from "The Legend of the Condor Heroes". After that, Andy Lau embarked on the road to success. However, he fell out with TVB due to contract issues and was buried in the dust. Those few years were the lowest point in Andy's acting career. He was completely ignored by TVB. *** is not acceptable to ordinary artists.
After arranging Andy Lau's affairs, Huang Rihua arrived shortly afterwards. Regarding Huang Rihua, Wang Xiaohu was very relieved. This child was just like Guo Jing, honest and responsible, and well-behaved in the entertainment industry. Wang Xiaohu only told him that he would take care of several stars in the new drama. There was nothing else to say to the newcomer, so he was immediately asked to go downstairs to get the script.
It was noon, and Donnie Yen and Jet Li hadn't come over yet. Wang Xiaohu was a little impatient with the wait, so he picked up the phone and called Bruce Lee at the "old base".
"Brother Xiaolong, why aren't Danzi and Jiezi here yet?" Wang Xiaohu said unhappily.
"Wait a little longer, Jie Zai is making human sandbags for Dan Zai, hahaha, good guy, the fight is so fierce, there are some colors on his body." Bruce Lee said enthusiastically on the phone.
"Damn it, don't get injured. You have to know that they still have a mission. Danzi is going to participate in the fighting competition." Wang Xiaohu was a little anxious after hearing this, and thought to himself, Brother Xiaolong, why don't you give me some advice.
However, in terms of Bruce Lee's character, this kind of fighting is not available.
"As long as I'm here, they won't have any problems." Bruce Lee said with a smile: "Anyway, both of them are among the top 16. I arrange for them to be sparring partners for each other, and sometimes I will go on the field to train them myself."
"That's good." Wang Xiaohu wiped the sweat from his forehead and said, "Since they didn't come, please tell them some things for me. I don't care about their ranking in this fighting competition or their status in the film and television industry. How will things develop? They are all my apprentices, Wang Xiaohu. I hope they can abandon their prejudices against each other and help each other."
"Be united, just like you Seven Little Fortunes, more like us brothers, right?" Bruce Lee asked. Nowadays, Concord International's stall is getting bigger and bigger, and the various interests within the company are becoming more and more complicated. Internal unity is necessary.
"Yes, if you have the chance, you'd better tell them our story back then, haha." Wang Xiaohu said.
"You can imagine that I must be a negative example!" Bruce Lee sighed and urged: "Xiaohu, hurry up and hurry up the Yankees, I want to fight!"
"Okay!" Wang Xiaohu hung up the phone, flipped through the calendar, and muttered: "Don't Americans always boast about their work efficiency? Why is there no raindrops this time despite the thunder? What are you waiting for?"
