Hong Kong Entertainment: The King of Kung Fu

At Bao'an International Airport, 17-year-old Gao Yuanyuan walked off the plane accompanied by her father Gao Junren.

Looking at this strange and prosperous city, she felt a little nervous and a little excited.

Fortunately, my father is with me, so I don’t have to worry too much.

When the father and daughter walked out of the gate, they saw a young man in the crowd holding a sign with Gao Yuanyuan's name on it.

The father and daughter hurried over and gave their names.

A tall beauty stood next to the young man. She smiled and said, "Hello, Mr. Gao, Mr. Gao. My name is Le Yun, and I am the public relations manager of Xiaoqing Film and Television Company."

Gao Junren quickly said, "Hello, Manager Le. Thank you for coming over."

Le Yun said, "You're welcome. Let's go. Xiao Li, help Gao with his luggage."

The young man quickly took Gao Yuanyuan's suitcase, and the four of them left the airport and got into a car.

Two hours later, they arrived at Guangming Film and Television City and saw the majestic Forbidden City from afar.

Gao Junren works in the aerospace industry and doesn't know much about the entertainment industry. He was very surprised to suddenly see the Forbidden City in this far southern country.

Le Yun casually introduced: "The Forbidden City in Beijing is our country's cultural heritage, and the crew cannot enter it casually.

So Mr. Yang specially restored a palace in Shenzhen based on the original appearance of the Forbidden City in Beijing, specifically for filming.

The sensational "The Story of Qianlong" and "The Deer and the Cauldron" were both filmed here."

Gao Junren exclaimed: "I see, it looks exactly like the Forbidden City in Beijing."

Le Yun smiled and said, "I'll take you two on a tour later."

At this time, the car stopped, and Le Yun continued, "You two, please get off the car. We have to take a tour bus instead."

Xiao Li quickly ran over and drove a tour bus over and put the luggage on it.

The tour bus moved slowly forward towards the office building. Liu Xiaoqing's company was located in the office building of the film and television city.

Le Yun acted as a temporary tour guide and introduced the major scenic spots along the way.

In addition to the Forbidden City, we also passed the Along the River During the Qingming Festival and the Qin Palace along the way, each of which was magnificent.

The film and television city was very lively. In addition to the endless stream of tourists, you could occasionally see film crews shooting film and television productions. Gao Junren even saw a few stars he knew.

Le Yun said: "After more than ten years of construction, our Guangming Film and Television City has become the largest film and television center in Asia. Dozens of film and television works are produced here every year."

After hearing this, Gao Junren couldn't help but sigh: "So this is a film factory. Mr. Yang is really amazing."

Gao Yuanyuan was very shy, and just sat with her father without saying a word.

Even so, she was still shocked by being surrounded by classical buildings of different styles.

Soon they arrived at their destination and got off the car. Le Yun led the father and daughter into Xiaoqing Film and Television Company. After asking the front desk, they went into Liu Xiaoqing's office.

Liu Xiaoqing shook hands with Gao Junren cordially: "Hello Mr. Gao, this must be Yuanyuan, she is so beautiful!"

Liu Xiaoqing is one of the most famous actresses in China. She has superb acting skills and is deeply loved by the audience.

Gao Junren is also a fan of Liu Xiaoqing, and he was a little excited to see him in person.

"Hello, Miss Liu. I've heard a lot about you. I especially like watching your performance in "Furong Town"!"

Gao Yuanyuan also greeted Liu Xiaoqing shyly.

Liu Xiaoqing didn't waste any time. He asked the two men to sit down, asked his secretary to bring them tea, and then started talking to them straight away.

Liu Xiaoqing said: "I saw the advertisement of Qingzui Lozenges shot by Yuanyuan on TV, and I thought her image and temperament were particularly good.

It just so happened that Mr. Yang Ye was recruiting actors nationwide for his new film "Xiao Yao You", so I recommended Yuan Yuan to him.

After he looked at it, he also thought it was suitable, so he entrusted me to contact you.

I should have gone to the capital to pay him a visit in person, but I was too busy to make the time.

I have no choice but to ask my colleagues in Beijing to contact you first and invite you to come to Shenzhen.

We believe that if Yuanyuan could go into film and television, she would definitely shine.

So we hope to sign an agency contract with Yuanyuan, and let us be the sole agent for Yuanyuan’s film and television business.”

After hearing this, Gao Junren nodded.

Their whole family is engaged in scientific research, but unfortunately their daughter is a poor student and has almost no chance of getting into university.

Fortunately, there is always a way out. Not long ago, Gao Yuanyuan was shopping in Wangfujing when she was discovered by a scout and was asked to shoot an advertisement for "Qingzui Lozenges".

As a result, after the advertisement was broadcast, Gao Yuanyuan's pure and sweet image immediately attracted attention and was called the "Clean Mouth Girl" by the media.

Overnight, Gao Yuanyuan became the darling of advertisers. Major companies came to her to ask her to shoot commercials, and film and television companies also invited her to make her debut in TV dramas.

In this era, there is not so much messy news in the domestic entertainment industry.

In the eyes of the older generation, actors are considered to be artists and it is also a good profession.

Gao Junren felt that his daughter had little chance of getting into college, and that becoming an actress might be a way out, so he began to seriously consider the matter.

At this time, Liu Xiaoqing sent someone to the door and said that he wanted to invite Gao Yuanyuan to star in Yang Ye's new film "Xiao Yao You".

Yang Ye is a household name throughout China and a true artist.

Gao Junren was flattered and brought his daughter to Shenzhen to give it a try.

After arriving in Shenzhen and seeing the large-scale film and television city, I felt that this was feasible.

Gao Junren asked: "If our Yuanyuan signs a contract with you, will she live in Shenzhen permanently?"

Liu Xiaoqing said: "No, being an actor is a relatively free profession. She can still live in Beijing. When she needs to film, she can just follow the crew."

"Yuanyuan has never acted in a play and has no acting experience. I am worried..."

“Don’t worry about that. For an actor, image and temperament are the most important. If you don’t know how to act, you can be taught.

If you agree to play this role, Yuanyuan will first have to attend a training class for a period of time.

Mr. Yang's "Xiao Yao You" crew has already recruited dozens of young actors, and she just needs to join."

Gao Junren asked more than a dozen questions in a row, and Liu Xiaoqing answered them fluently. He also showed the two the role that Gao Yuanyuan needed to play.

In fact, this role doesn't have many scenes.

However, Liu Xiaoqing explained that this is a children's film and Gao Yuanyuan is not the protagonist, but her role will also appear in several subsequent films.

Moreover, once the agency contract is signed, the company will select suitable film and television works for her based on her image.

Liu Xiaoqing also gave examples of several stars who became famous for playing the role of Yang Ye in movies.

He also promised that the company would produce a new drama next year, and Gao Yuanyuan's image was very suitable for the heroine.

Nowadays, the aura of celebrities is very strong, and people often have an inexplicable trust in them.

Zhou Liqing played a county official in the TV series "New Star" who received several sacks of letters hoping that he would serve as a local county official or come forward to uphold justice.

Chen Xiaoxu opened an advertising company and his business was booming because people thought, "Lin Daiyu would never lie to me!"

Liu Xiaoqing said frankly that Gao Yuanyuan has an excellent image and temperament, and will definitely become a sensational big star.

He also painted a big pie for the father and daughter, guaranteeing that Gao Yuanyuan would become the heroine next year.

Gao Junren no longer had any doubts. After reading the contract carefully, he signed on behalf of his daughter.

In this way, Gao Yuanyuan officially became an artist of Yangji.

……

Gao Yuanyuan was one of the most influential actresses in mainland China from the late 1990s to the millennium, second only to the four Dan and Shuang Bing. Gao Yuanyuan has a first love face and was initially famous for playing innocent schoolgirls.

He left a deep impression on people in movies such as "Spicey Love" and "Seventeen-Year-Old Bicycle", as well as some TV series.

Her problem is that she has never had good resources and has not left any classic roles.

The only famous one is Zhou Zhiruo, and she is the second female lead.

But her status in the eyes of straight men is very high.

Later generations of Hupu.com is a famous straight men's website. Hupu.com has organized a "Hupu Goddess Contest" to select goddesses in the entertainment industry, which is very lively every year.

The first champion was Jia Jingwen, the second was Qiu Shuzhen, the third was my wife, and the fourth was Liu Yifei.

The runner-up in these four sessions was Gao Yuanyuan.

So there is a saying circulating on the Internet: "Champions come and go, but Yuanyuan remains forever."

By the fifth session, Gao Yuanyuan's fans finally started to exert their strength, sweeping away other female stars with a strong attitude, and won the championship after winning all the way.

This victory made many netizens sigh: "My youth is over."

The sixth champion was Li Qin. In the seventh session, Hupu changed the competition system and the "goddesses" needed to participate in the competition with their characters.

For example, Liu Yifei - Zhao Linger, like this.

Gao Yuanyuan didn’t have any outstanding roles, only the second female lead Zhou Zhiruo, who was quickly defeated.

In the end, Liu Yifei defeated Zhou Huimin with Zhao Linger and won the championship for the second time.

When it came to the eighth session, netizens were abstract and voted Zhan Ying as the champion. Mr. Zhan was confused and suggested that those netizens go to see an ophthalmologist.

And this year's runner-up is Gao Yuanyuan.

One championship and five runner-ups, it can be seen that Gao Yuanyuan has a great status in the hearts of straight men.

If she had a role that was worth showing off, her popularity would be even higher.

After all, being a fan of a star often means being a fan of the character.

Both Lin Qingxia and Wang Zuxian live in people's memories because of the roles of Dongfang Bubai and Nie Xiaoqian.

If Liu Yifei didn't have Zhao Linger, Xiaolongnu and Wang Yuyan, it would be difficult for her to become the eternal heroine of Chinese entertainment novels.

Dragon TV once held a blind date variety show called "One in a Hundred", which invited one hundred male guests and several female guests to participate in the event each time.

There is an item in each guest's profile column: "Who is your idol?"

Basically, you just fill in the name of a celebrity.

Among the goddesses of these male guests, Gao Yuanyuan's name appears frequently and is far ahead.

Later, Gao Yuanyuan married Zhao Yatai from Taiwan, and countless netizens wailed, saying that they had a "hatred of having their wife stolen from them" from Yatai.

……

After Gao Junren signed the contract with Liu Xiaoqing, he stayed in Shenzhen with his daughter for a few days. After investigating the situation, he returned to Beijing.

Liu Xiaoqing took Gao Yuanyuan to Hong Kong.

Arriving at the Poplar Building in Kowloon, Gao Yuanyuan looked up at the towering skyscraper and felt a little dizzy.

Gao Yuanyuan is a very home-loving person. She doesn't want to leave the capital, and doesn't want to leave her parents.

She is still young and doesn't know what it means to be a star.

When she arrived in Hong Kong, looking at this city which was far more prosperous than Beijing, she felt strange, confused and even a little scared.

Fortunately, Liu Xiaoqing was very approachable and took good care of her, which made her feel a lot more at ease.

Liu Xiaoqing held Gao Yuanyuan's hand and said kindly, "Yuanyuan, don't worry, everyone in the company is very friendly.

You have no acting experience. This time you came to Hong Kong mainly to participate in basic training with other actors in the crew.

I will pick you up and take you back to Beijing during the Chinese New Year. Mr. Yang’s film will start shooting in the spring of next year.”

"Ok!"

"Come on, let's go up!"

The two walked into the building, which was full of busy, hurried staff.

Some people knew Liu Xiaoqing and nodded to her, and Liu Xiaoqing responded with a smile.

Suddenly, a very beautiful woman waved to Liu Xiaoqing from afar: "Xiaoqing, you are in Hong Kong!"

The two beauties hugged each other affectionately and began to reminisce about the past.

Gao Yuanyuan couldn't help but look at the beauty a few times. As soon as she entered the building, she saw several familiar stars.

This one should be the most famous. Gao Yuanyuan has seen her in many Hong Kong movies.

Liu Xiaoqing introduced Gao Yuanyuan: "This is the famous actress Hu Huizhong, who is my good friend. Have you seen her movies?"

Gao Yuanyuan hummed and smiled shyly at Hu Huizhong: "Hello, Miss Hu!"

Hu Huizhong greeted her in a friendly manner and said to Liu Xiaoqing, "What a pretty girl! Are you a new actor recruited by the company?"

Liu Xiaoqing said: "Yes, I sent her here specially this time."

"Then the company will definitely reuse her!"

"Yeah, she's going to be in Jazz's new movie."

"How enviable!"

"I won't talk to you anymore, let's go up first!"

"Okay, let's have dinner together tonight, I'll call you!"

"it is good!"

The two agreed on a time for dinner in the evening, and Hu Huizhong left.

Liu Xiaoqing took Gao Yuanyuan into the elevator. Gao Yuanyuan asked, "Aunt Liu, the Sir you are talking about, is he Mr. Yang?"

Liu Xiaoqing said: "Yes, he was knighted by the Queen herself, and everyone in the company calls him that."

"Will we ever see him?"

"That's hard to say. He's busy with work and may not be in the company, but we'll see him sooner or later."

"Oh!"

Several people came in one after another and were about to close the door when someone suddenly shouted, "Wait a minute!"

Liu Xiaoqing quickly pressed the door opening button, and then saw a very handsome middle-aged man walk in.

When the people in the elevator saw the man, they all shouted, "Hello, Sir!"

The man smiled and said, "Hello everyone!"

When Gao Yuanyuan saw the man's face clearly, her eyes suddenly widened. It was Yang Ye.

She had seen Yang Ye's dashing figure in many movies, but today was the first time she saw him in person, and she couldn't help feeling a little nervous.

Yang Ye smiled and said to Liu Xiaoqing: "Xiaoqing, you are here too, what a coincidence!"

Since there were outsiders present, Liu Xiaoqing politely called him "Sir".

Yang Ye glanced at Gao Yuanyuan beside her and said, "You are the girl with the clear mouth, right?" (End of this chapter)
