1979: The child's mother is a celestial being.

Chapter 97 Zhang Guorong, who still doesn't call me "brother" (Please subscribe!)

"Aunt Shi Hui, this is a small gift I brought back for you from Beijing. Please accept it."

Chen Fusheng didn't come empty-handed from the capital this time; he brought some local specialties that he and his wife had bought the day before, just so they could give as gifts.

After all, he had asked Shi Hui and Fu Qi for help before.

"Xiao Chen, you're too kind."

"It's nothing valuable, just some local specialties from the capital."

"Then I'll accept it, thank you, Xiao Chen."

Just then, a little girl, about sixteen years old, carrying a pink backpack, skipped and hopped into the room.

At the same time, she called out, "Mom, we have guests."

When Shi Hui saw her daughter coming home from school, she reminded her, "Zhizhi, this is the little Chen brother we told you about. Say hello to him quickly."

"Hello, Brother Chen." After greeting him, Fu Ming came to his mother's side, looking at the genius his parents had mentioned with a mixture of curiosity and shyness.

"Xiao Chen, this is my youngest daughter, Fu Mingxian. You can call her Zhizhi." Shi Hui introduced the little girl to Chen Fusheng while helping her daughter take off her schoolbag.

"Hi Zhizhi, what grade are you in?"

Fifth grade.

Hong Kong's education system consists of six years of primary school and five years of secondary school (including three years of junior secondary school and two years of senior secondary school). Students who achieve the required grades can enroll in pre-university programs, which are either one-year or two-year programs, namely Form Six and Form Seven. However, once students complete Form Six and achieve the required grades, they can go to university.

However, there were relatively few universities in Hong Kong at that time, and only a small number of elite students could get in, so most students only had Form 5 education.

"Mom, I'm going to do my homework."

Fu Mingxian was still a little shy, so after saying goodbye to her mother, she took her schoolbag and went back to her room, secretly glancing at Chen Fusheng several times as she left.

Children's thoughts are written all over their faces, which is very cute.

At this moment, Chen Fusheng not only thought about what his daughter would look like if she grew up to be this age, but also realized that he needed such a child actor in his next film.

So he asked Shi Hui, who was standing in front of him, "Aunt Shi Hui, will you let Zhizhi pursue a career in the entertainment industry in the future?"

"That depends on her own choice..."

Before she could finish speaking, Shi Hui guessed what was going on and asked curiously, "Xiao Chen, what do you mean by that?"

"Well, in my next project, I have a character who's about the same age as Zhizhi. If you want Zhizhi to pursue acting, I suggest she give it a try." Chen Fusheng didn't keep them in suspense and spoke the truth.

"What kind of role is she?" Shi Hui glanced back into her daughter's room and then noticed a small head shrinking back inside.

Next, Chen Fusheng shared with Shi Hui the story of his next film.

After he stopped, Fu Mingxian, who had just said he was going to do his homework, reappeared in the living room.

"That's the story. Aunt Shi Hui, you can consider it. Anyway, I'll be staying in Hong Kong for a while. Just let me know the result before you leave."

"it is good……"

That evening, Great Wall Company held a welcome banquet for Chen Fusheng. During the banquet, Irving Rossell heard that he had come to Hong Kong and also came over to have a couple of drinks with him.

The next day.

Chen Fusheng slept in late in the morning and did only one thing: insert the video clip into the movie.

In the afternoon, Chen Fusheng planned to "pay his respects" to the Lido TV pier. He wanted to see just how deep the water was and what color it was.

Of course, before setting off, Chen Fusheng brought with him some materials about Lido TV that Shi Hui had collected for him.

Before March of this year, the financial backer of Lido TV was the British Lido Sound Company. However, after March, an Australian consortium consisting of Davidson, Henry Jones, and CRA Limited joined forces to acquire Sound Company's shares in Lido TV in order to gain a promotional advantage when entering the Hong Kong market.

However, the results were not ideal. The reason is simple: the Hong Kong market is only so big. Everyone had already divided it up before. If an outsider suddenly wants to take a piece, he will inevitably suffer suppression and exclusion from the vested interests.

Historically, the three companies withdrew from the Hong Kong market in disgrace the following year, and even their shares in Lido Television were sold to Qiu Degeng's Far East Group.

After Far East Group took over Lido Television, it renamed it ATV.

Of course that's all for later.

Currently, the Australian consortium has invested in Lido TV, but since it's only using the platform to promote their products, they certainly won't put much effort into producing programs or cultivating any celebrities or artists.

So it wasn't just Miao Jinfeng who couldn't get roles; during this period, none of the actors at Lido Television could get decent roles if they wanted to rely on the company's resources.

Therefore, actors and artists whose contracts are about to expire are already looking for new agencies.

Take Zhang Guorong for example.

He signed with Lido Television in 1977, and although the contract was only for three years at the time, it was renewed for two more years in 1980.

His contract is expiring in six months, and he will not renew it. He has already been in contact with other companies in private.

Historically, after leaving Lido Television, he went to TVB, which was famous during this period.

Zhang Guorong had a promotional event today, so he also appeared at the company. There, he ran into Miao Jinfeng, who was blacklisted by the Freedom Association and the company for starring in a mainland film.

"Sister Jin, how have you been lately?" Zhang Guorong took the initiative to step forward and inquire, not worried about being caught in the crossfire.

"I'm alright, thank you for your concern, Leslie. What have you been busy with lately?" Miao Jinfeng asked, trying to sound relaxed, though she still looked a little tired.

Leslie is Zhang Guorong's English name. Friends in the industry who are close to him call him by his English name. As for the label "brother," it comes from when he was filming "A Chinese Ghost Story" with Joey Wong in 1987. Joey Wong often called him "brother" on set, and after the word spread, everyone started calling him that.

"I'm not busy either. With the company in this state, I don't have any acting opportunities. It's like I've been blacklisted by the company, just like Sister Jin, hahaha." Zhang Guorong made a joke by teasing himself.

Actually, the intention was to comfort Miao Jinfeng.

"But Leslie, your contract seems to be expiring soon. Have you found a new team yet?"

"Still under consideration..."

As the two were chatting, Zhang Guorong suddenly noticed Miao Jinfeng looking behind him with her pupils slightly dilated. Curious, he turned around and saw the receptionist leading three strangers out of the elevator.

Judging from their auras, he felt that none of the three were simple people.

So he asked Miao Jinfeng curiously, "Sister Jin, do you know them?"

"Yes, I know you."

"Who is it? I don't think I've ever seen it before."

"You're from the mainland, so of course you've never met Leslie."

After Miao Jinfeng finished speaking, she ignored Zhang Guorong's surprised expression and went to greet him with a smile.
