Rebirth of Hong Kong - 1978

Chapter 2041 Two Types of Actors

Although Xu Xuming is the deputy manager of Dongshi Artists Department, he usually collects TVB's intelligence at all times.

After all, TVB is the only rival of Dongshi, so Xu Xuming's usual work focus is not only on Dongshi itself, but also pays more attention to the news from TVB.

Xu Xuming has always been paying attention to some artists who will become popular or have potential over there, and even regularly make a list and hand it over to Zeng Lizhen.

It's just that Aaron Kwok and Ekin Cheng are not on these lists. After all, they are not the kind of popular roles in TVB.

Although Zeng Lizhen didn't tell Xu Xuming that this was the person Lin Daoqiu named to dig, but even if she spoke, Xu Xuming naturally didn't dare to neglect this matter.

In the afternoon Xu Xuming personally took people to TVB, but he didn't go directly to TVB's talent manager Le Yiling, but waited outside on the street.

Although Ekin Cheng and Aaron Kwok are not popular, it is not difficult to get their information.

Soon, a young man came into Xu Xuming's sight.

"Mr. Guo, if it's convenient, you might as well come over and have a chat. My boss wants to see you."

Aaron Kwok, who was about to rehearse on TVB, was suddenly stopped by Xu Xuming's subordinates. He turned his head and found a person he didn't know sitting in the opposite car.

Although he didn't know what was the reason, Aaron Kwok still followed the other party.

After all, TVB is right in front of us, so I believe nothing will happen.

"Xu Xuming, deputy manager of East TV's artist department, it's a pleasure to meet you, Mr. Guo Fucheng Guo."

As soon as Aaron Kwok got into the car, Xu Xuming directly reported his family name to him.

For Aaron Kwok, he is just an ordinary actor now, he is not popular in TVB, and he can't get any leading roles.

The deputy manager of Dongshi's artist department actually came to the door in person. He shouldn't just come to chat with me, right?
"Hello, Manager Xu, I'm Aaron Kwok, nice to meet you, what's the matter with you coming here today?"

Aaron Kwok looked a little nervous, after all, he rarely had face-to-face conversations with such high-level officials.

"I've already learned all about Mr. Guo. You are a talented person, but it's a pity that TVB doesn't have a discerning eye, so I'm here today hoping to invite you to join Dongshi..."

"By the way, Zeng Lizhen entrusted me to find you. She is very optimistic about your future."

Unexpectedly, it was Zeng Lizhen who asked Xu Xuming to talk to her by name. If Guo Fucheng said that he was not excited, he would be lying.

Although Zeng Lizhen is regarded as a traitor and unpopular in TVB, in the eyes of some artists, she is a figure who controls power in Dongshi.

To be named and favored by Zeng Lizhen, to Aaron Kwok, this is simply a blessing from the sky.

"I believe that as long as Mr. Guo is willing to join Dongshi, he won't need to play some secondary roles and small supporting roles like he is now, at least starting from the main supporting roles."

Zeng Lizhen personally said that she wanted to poach someone, and she also said that no matter what the price was, she must poach him to Dongshi.

Xu Xuming believes that when Aaron Kwok passes Dongshi, it is impossible to let him play a role and a small supporting role. Wouldn't this be very different from what Zeng Lizhen said.

"Zeng... Is Zeng Li looking for me to go to East TV? This..."

When Guo Fucheng heard what Xu Xuming said, his mood became even more excited.

There is no need for Xu Xuming to lie to him, but what is in front of him now is a godsend opportunity, as long as he nods, he can immediately escape from the current lackluster life and go to Dongshi to accept new challenges.

"The basic monthly salary is [-], and the work is not included. Please think about it, Mr. Guo."

At this time, Aaron Kwok was holding a monthly salary of 4000 yuan in TVB, which can be said to be very low, and it was difficult to survive in Xiangjiang.

But Dongshi directly offered him three times the salary, which was quite a temptation for Aaron Kwok.

And this is just a guaranteed salary. If he becomes famous in the future, his salary and remuneration will definitely get higher and higher.

Although Aaron Kwok was very moved by what Xu Xuming said, it was obviously impossible for him to agree immediately.

"I'm really sorry, Manager Xu, can you let me think about it for a day, and I will definitely give you an answer tomorrow."

Xu Xuming didn't have any expression on his face when he heard that, but he became a little anxious in his heart.

If Aaron Kwok said he didn't want to do it tomorrow, wouldn't he have messed up what Zeng Lizhen explained.

But this is actually Zeng Lizhen's fault. If she directly told Xu Xuming that this matter was explained by Mr. Lin, it would be a piece of cake to convince Aaron Kwok.

"Well, I'll wait for Mr. Guo's call tomorrow. As long as you agree, we will handle all the follow-up and TVB matters. You don't need to take care of anything."

When Aaron Kwok heard it, he felt that Dongshi really thought of him very well. If he was to go to Le Yiling to submit his resignation, he really didn't dare to do such a thing.

But since the other party is willing to do it for him, at least Aaron Kwok's big worry can be eliminated.

After meeting with Aaron Kwok, Xu Xuming rushed to find Ekin Cheng again.

According to the information provided by insiders, Ekin Cheng likes to play video games for entertainment when he is not working.

In a video game hall, Xu Xuming found Ekin Cheng who was playing games here.

Because he is not famous at all at this time, no one will bother him to play games.

"Mr. Zheng, hello, I'm Xu Xuming, deputy artist manager of Dongshi..."

Just like the opening scene with Aaron Kwok just now, Xu Xuming directly introduced his identity to Ekin Cheng.

Compared with Aaron Kwok, Ekin Cheng feels much better to Xu Xuming, because he is really handsome and very young.

If Xu Xuming had to choose, his first choice must be Ekin Cheng.

Xu Xuming didn't know that Aaron Kwok's greatest charm comes from the stage, and he is a very hardworking actor, as long as he is going to make a movie, he will try his best to figure out the role.

But Ekin Cheng is different from Aaron Kwok, his personality is relatively flat, he doesn't like to fight, he will play video games when there is a movie, and if there is no movie, he will play video games for entertainment.

But this doesn't mean that Ekin Cheng doesn't care about movies, on the contrary, he seems to be talented as an actor, with a little training, he can perform satisfactorily.

As for Xu Xuming's poaching, Ekin Cheng was obviously not as excited as Aaron Kwok, but it didn't mean he didn't think about going over to Dongshi.

"Please let me think about it for a few days, and then Manager Xu will give me an answer."

Aaron Kwok only needs one day, but Ekin Cheng needs several days.

Xu Xuming couldn't force the other party to agree to him immediately, so he could only worry there.
