The world begins with Hong Kong movies

Chapter 96: Unconsciously, I have become famous! (Please collect and read)
Li Saifeng nodded slightly, confirming the guess of his colleague and good friend Weng Hong.

She ignored Weng Hong's exclamation and the chatter with other female colleagues in the Artist Department. Her mind was not on this at the moment.

Before coming to the company, I received an invitation from Cheng Shilon to meet and have dinner.

She was a little confused, but still agreed.

Speaking of which, Li Saifeng left ATV and joined Golden Harvest in 1986, but unfortunately she never got a chance.

In 1985, he and Cheng Shilong filmed a movie called "Police Story", but unfortunately it was directed by a Hollywood director and the film was quite mediocre, it could even be said to be a shame for Cheng Shilong.

Naturally, she did not take advantage of the opportunity to rise to fame, but she did get in touch with Jiahe.

Unexpectedly, at the beginning of this year, her master Xu Xiaoming persuaded her to join Fengrui Film and Television. She followed her master's advice and took the initiative to terminate her contract with Golden Harvest and join Fengrui Film and Television.

But I didn’t expect that she would be able to shoot a movie right after joining the team, and she would be the female lead!
As for Cheng Shilon, there is basically no connection!
After finishing the acting training class, Li Saifeng said goodbye to her colleagues in the artist department, went back to the dormitory to tidy up, and then went out to take a taxi to the agreed location.

Speaking of which, the treatment at Fengrui Film and Television is quite good.

Artists like her actually have their own dormitories and can eat in the very affordable internal canteen.

I spend almost nothing on my daily life, even my clothes and shoes are sponsored by affiliated companies.

When there is no filming, there is still a stable salary to be earned.

The only bad thing is that when I have free time, I have to receive various training and learning in the company.

At the beginning, she was quite unconvinced.

After all, they are all popular actresses of ATV. Do they really need any training to improve their acting skills?
Turns out, it is indeed necessary!
Filming a movie is not like filming a TV show, where you can fully showcase your acting skills.

Especially in the mainland, there is indeed a certain gap in acting skills compared with those professional students in the mainland.

When she realized that her acting skills might be linked to the profit from selling goods, she immediately dared not to be perfunctory.

You can’t be against anything, but you can’t be against money, right?
What surprised her the most was that Wen Bixia, the top female employee in the company, had made 500,000 yuan in less than half a year just by relying on the commission from selling goods. She almost had tears in her eyes when she heard this.

You should know that the film pay of female stars in Hong Kong is quite different from that of male stars of the same level.

For example, Lin Qingxia, known as the literary goddess of Taiwan, received a salary of nearly 300,000 yuan for a movie.

That's how it is. He is not doing very well in Hong Kong Island and does not receive many film invitations.

As for Li Saifeng, her salary for a movie is about 50,000 to 100,000, which is already quite good.

After all, she is still a newcomer in the film industry and has no famous representative works.

When the taxi arrived at the destination, Li Saifeng was quite surprised.

Looking up, I saw that it was a teahouse!
Who in the Hong Kong film industry doesn’t know about Cheng Shilong’s romantic habits?

Of course, Li Saifeng did not let Cheng Shilon take advantage.

It's not that she is good, but the movie "Police Story" that she collaborated on was led by foreigners, and the filming was not smooth. At least Cheng Shilong didn't have any other thoughts at that time.

When she arrived at the private room on the third floor, Cheng Shilong was the only one inside.

"Brother Long, what do you want to talk to me about?"

After all, they were all martial artists, and they didn't have much personal connection, so Li Saifeng asked directly after sitting down, his face full of curiosity.

"I heard that you starred in the Republic of China Heroes series "Swallow Li San"?"

Cheng Shilong didn't rush to answer, but instead asked curiously: "Is the filming finished?"

As for why Cheng Shilong knew all this, it's because he's also a fan of the novel edition of Mong Kok News. Whether it's folk fantasy, ancient knight-errant series, or soft science fiction, it's all quite novel for Hong Kong fiction readers.

In addition, the author has excellent writing skills and the readability is extremely strong, so it is not surprising that it can attract Cheng Shilon.

In addition, as a colleague in the film industry, he naturally knew that Fengrui Film and Television had already started producing this movie.

"Yeah, we've finished filming!"

Li Saifeng exclaimed, "We've been filming in mainland China for almost three months, and it's finally done!"

"How was the shoot?"

Cheng Shilong asked curiously, "It's not much different from the story serialized in the newspaper, right?"

His demeanor is clearly that of a loyal reader.

"The difference isn't huge, but the rhythm is tighter and the conflicts are more intense!"

Li Saifeng was a bit amused and said jokingly, "Brother Long, you didn't ask me to come here just to get this information, did you? The movies produced by the company are basically the same as the original stories!"

"Haha, I was a little impatient!"

Cheng Shilong was a little embarrassed and changed the subject directly, asking, "Ah Feng, do you know the boss of the company?"

"Brother Long, are you referring to the martial artist from Fengrui Film and Television?"

Li Saifeng reacted and shook her head, "Actually, today is the first time we've met!"

"how is this possible?"

Cheng Shilong was a little unconvinced and shook his head, saying, "You're saying that she's a popular actress at ATV. When she joined Fengrui Film and Television, how could the boss not personally show up?"

"When I joined Fengrui Films, Wusheng was conducting research in mainland China!"

Li Saifeng looked rather strange, but continued to explain, "Once I joined the crew of 'Swallow Li San', I had no time or leisure at all!"

"That's right!"

Cheng Shilong was quite disappointed when he heard this, and it showed on his face.

"Brother Long, are you looking for the company's boss, Takeshi?"

Li Saifeng suddenly realized what was happening and said with a smile, "Why don't you just come to his house? I think Wusheng will definitely give him a warm welcome. You have such a high profile in the Hong Kong film industry!"

"I'm just worried about Mr. Zou and my godfather, are there any misunderstandings?"

Cheng Shilong smiled bitterly and said, "To be honest, I actually want to find Wusheng and ask him for advice!"

"What do you want me to ask you?"

Li Saifeng asked curiously, "I've never heard of Wusheng having any powerful skills in the film industry."

"Yes, yes!"

Cheng Shilong said helplessly: "Wusheng can easily sell the film copyright in his hands to Europe and the United States!"

Seeing Li Saifeng's sudden realization, he didn't hide anything and said directly, "You know, I've always wanted to enter the European and American film market, but unfortunately, after years of hard work, it's all in vain!"

“Even after returning to Hong Kong Island, the films I filmed were all successful!”

He laughed bitterly at this point, "But I just can't accept it. You were there when we filmed 'Police Story', so you should know what happened!"

Indeed, this movie almost made Cheng Shilong look like a fool. If he hadn't re-edited the version screened in Hong Kong, he might have suffered a career Waterloo!
