Chapter 206 Fa Ge joins the team

9days ago Celebrity fiction 8
Last year was a peak in Chow Yun-fat's career. Since "Shanghai Bund" became popular, he has starred in five TV series and four movies in a year.

Although these movies are not high in box office, the ratings of TV series are strong and have become the guarantee of TVB's ratings.

The money in Chow Yun-fat's pocket suddenly filled up and bought a house for his parents last year.The price of property has plummeted in the past few days, which made Chow Yun-fat very depressed. The house he bought was a huge loss.

However, what makes Chow Yun-fat even more depressed is his relationship with TVB.Although he has become a popular TV star in Xiangjiang, he doesn't want to act in TV series all his life, he wants to become a movie star.

Chow Yun-fat has also made many movies in the past few years, but most of them are Shaw Brothers' films. Those low-cost films really have no future, and Chow Yun-fat is not very suitable for playing costume heroes.

Chow Yun-fat can also continue to stay on TVB to shoot TV series, and then take on extra movies in his spare time.

But in this case, the ones who come to him to make movies are definitely small companies and small productions, because the big companies choose their own contracted actors to shoot. Otherwise, a movie will make Chow Yun-fat famous. Wouldn't that be a waste of TVB and Shaw Brothers?

This is the case when Kang Jianfei asked Lin Zhengying to film "Mr. Zombie". Lin Zhengying became popular in Southeast Asia with "Mr. Zombie", but Lin Zhengying was willing to continue to follow Sammo Hung without changing jobs to DreamWorks. Kang Jianfei was purely a wedding dress for others.

After suffering this secret loss, Kang Jianfei had already set a rule for himself that unless he was cooperating in filming or entering a different market, he would never invite actors from his own company to play important roles.

Chow Yun-fat wants to switch to the big screen, but Shaw's decline is a foregone conclusion, so the contradiction comes.

In the parallel space, Chow Yun-fat was reluctant to renew his contract with TVB. After filming a TV series in early June this year, he was hiding by TVB for nearly 4 months, and the two sides finally reached an agreement.

Although Chow Yun-fat was frozen for 4 months and could not film, he actually won the final victory.

Because TVB made an exception and agreed to Chow Yun-fat, he allowed him to sign a movie contract with other film companies while signing a TV contract with TVB.

From TVB's establishment to the 21st century, Chow Yun-fat was the only actor who enjoyed this kind of treatment.

Later, in order to win the free treatment of external movies, Andy Lau and other five TVB generals could only bow their heads and compromise with the TV station after being hidden.

It was mid-July, and Chow Yun-fat was still in a state of freezing by TVB. He was either shopping with his girlfriend or going home to have dinner with his parents. He was very comfortable doing nothing all day.

After Chen Yulian came back from filming, she saw Chow Yun-fat cooking in the kitchen with an apron and couldn't help but sigh: Brother Fa, it's not a solution for you to continue like this. Otherwise, I'll ask Ms. Fang to plead with you some other day.

Chow Yun-fat waved his hand and said: Don’t worry, I’m free to expire after more than 3 months, so I don’t believe that no one will ask me to make a movie.

Chen Yulian remained silent. She dared not tell Chow Yun-fat about her secretly asking Fang Yihua today.

Chow Yun-fat was cutting the dish and found that Chen Yulian was standing behind her for a long time and didn't speak. He thought she was worried about herself, so he put down the kitchen knife and smiled: "Hao, I'm not in a hurry. The more I drag it back, the more anxious it should be the TV station."

Chen Yulian couldn't help but say: There are so many actors on the TV station, so what if you are very popular?Look at this past month, isn’t it still normal without you?Brother Fa, we can’t stand the TV station, don’t make too much trouble with the station.

Perhaps it was Chen Yulian's words that touched his heart. Chow Yun-fat took off the apron on his waist, returned to the living room silently, and nestled on the sofa without saying a word.

Dingdong, Dingdong...

Seeing that Chow Yun-fat was a little depressed, Chen Yulian wanted to comfort her, but before she could open the doorbell, she rang quickly to open the door.

After the door opened, Wu Mengda’s smiling face appeared, and he asked: A Lian, is Ah Fa at home?

It turns out it's Da Ge Ah, please come in quickly.After Chen Yulian finished speaking, she realized that there were two men following Wu Mengda.

After the three of them entered the house, Wu Mengda smiled at Chow Yun-fat from afar and said: Ah, it’s really hard for you to invite me. I still said I didn’t have time to ask you to have dinner. I’m afraid I’ll borrow money from you?

Not interested in going out.Chow Yun-fat explained.

Compared with last year, Wu Mengda was completely reborn, without any decadence, and was full of energy.

Although Ng Mengda did not play any important roles after "Three Minutes Hero", he both played supporting roles in "Happy Ghost 2" and "Mr. Zombie 2".

In addition, he took on some small company shows and the salary paid by DreamWorks, if he didn't have to pay off his debts, his life would be more comfortable than many people.

Ng Mengda introduced: This is Mr. Yu In-tai, the director of Oriental DreamWorks, and Mr. Zhang Guozhong, the agent of DreamWorks.

Only then did Chow Yun-fat realize that Wu Mengda was talking about the serious matters when he asked him, so he shook hands with them and said: Hello Mr. Yu, hello Mr. Zhang.

Chen Yulian asked: Brother Da, you haven’t eaten yet, right?I'll cook more rice.

No, let's go out to eat. Ng Mengda took Chow Yun-fat out and turned around and said to Chen Yulian, "A Lian, you go together too."

The group came to a nearby restaurant to sit down. No one took the initiative to talk about the serious matters, but talked about some anecdotes in the film and television circles.

After the dishes were served, Wu Mengda poured wine for Chow Yun-fat and took the opportunity to ask: Ah Fa, I heard you were hidden by TVB?

Chow Yun-fat laughed and said: There is nothing, I just want to take a break.

Seeing that he refused to admit it, Wu Mengda didn't say it out loud, and said in another way: It would be better to wait until the contract expires, and you can go to DreamWorks with me to shoot a movie.

Zhang Guozhong also said: It's Ah. There are several actresses in DreamWorks now that are very famous, but they lack a male star who can stand up.If Mr. Zhou could come to DreamWorks, it would definitely be the pillar of DreamWorks.

Yu In-tae also said: I have a script in my hand, and Mr. Kang has also helped me to correct it myself, which is just right for you to play the male lead.

The three of them explained their intentions in every word, just to invite Chow Yun-fat to join DreamWorks, and then DreamWorks promised to train him as a pillar and to star in a movie immediately.

Chow Yun-fat was happy. He wanted to switch to the big screen. Oriental Dream Factory is now capable, and he doesn't have much impression of Kang Jianfei. The two of them have met several times.

After all, all aspects are in line with Chow Yun-fat's wishes and almost agreed.

Just as Chow Yun-fat was about to agree, Chen Yulian suddenly kicked him under the table and blinked quietly at him.

Chow Yun-fat immediately understood what Chen Yulian meant, and was trying to persuade him to be more cautious.

When a popular TV star goes to film a movie, the movies he makes are not necessarily the most popular. This is the case with Chow Yun-fat.

After becoming popular because of "Shanghai Bund", he made four movies in one go last year, but all failed without exception.

If Chow Yun-fat made a movie after joining Oriental DreamWorks, he would still fail and he could not go back to TVB to shoot TV, and he would be fucked!

When Chen Yulian reminded him, Chow Yun-fat calmed down and asked: Can I read the movie script first?

Yu In-tae smiled and said: Of course, I have brought the script.

After taking the script, Chow Yun-fat couldn't wait to look it through. As soon as he read a page, Zhang Guozhong suddenly said: Mr. Zhou, I think you don't have to read the script.

Chen Yulian asked: Why?

Zhang Guozhong smiled and said: Because before coming, Mr. Kang asked me to bring a word to Mr. Chow Yun-fat.He said it doesn't matter whether this "City Tour Horse" can be sold. He promised to make at least two movies specifically for you in the next three years, and the quality is not inferior to that of "Mr. Zombies" and "Senior Sister Royal".

Not to mention Chow Yun-fat and Chen Yulian, even Ng Man-tat and Yu In-tae were surprised to hear this.

Especially Wu Mengda, he couldn't help feeling a little uncomfortable.

He joined DreamWorks last year and now he can only play supporting roles. However, before Chow Yun-fat signed the contract, he had already received the promise of the male lead of Kang Jianfei in the two movies.

After Kang Jianfei broke the Hong Kong box office record in three consecutive movies, except for those who are capable, such as Jackie Chan, Sammo Hsu, and Xu Guanjie, who other Hong Kong actors don’t want to play the leading role in Kang Jianfei’s movies?

That means gaining fame and fortune, and becoming a hit!

Chen Yulian asked in disbelief: Is what Mr. Zhang said true?

Zhang Guozhong smiled and said: Mr. Kang told me that he said that Chow Yun-fat is the most potential and capable actor in Hong Kong. He is planning to make you a super movie star popular in Asia.

If other directors said this, they would probably be considered to be talking big.But this kind of words came from Kang Jianfei's mouth, but it added a bit of convincing power.

Chow Yun-fat is a very motivated person. Before becoming famous, he stayed at the elevator entrance of TVB every day in order to impress the senior executives of the TV station and gain the opportunity to play an important role.

Now that he has become a big hit in TV, he is still not satisfied and wants to seek breakthroughs and development in the film industry.

Now Kang Jianfei has thrown out an olive branch, Chow Yun-fat finally put down his hesitation and closed the script of "The City Tour" and said: I am willing to join Oriental Dream Factory, but I will have to wait three months before I can leave after my appointment with TVB is over.

Yu In-tae smiled and said: Of course it's no problem, I just need to take the time to prepare for the movie.You can take this script back with Mr. Zhou, and you can get familiar with it in the past few months.

Zhang Guozhong said: By the way, if Mr. Zhou, you agree to join DreamWorks, then I will be your agent in the future and will help you take care of all work matters. This was arranged by Mr. Kang.There are a few days left to be the premiere of "The Dao Ma Dan". Mr. Kang hopes that you can participate at that time.
