Reborn in the Hong Kong entertainment industry in the 1980s
Chapter 361 Transcript
After successfully taking office, Hu Xiaoxiao organized a free appliance repair service after attending several meetings, thus fulfilling her promise to her constituents.
Then, seeing that the community's ditches were severely clogged after a heavy rain, he organized people to clean up all the ditches, big and small. Zhang Rongguang put in a lot of effort this time, bringing his underlings and members of the Zhang family to help.
Meanwhile, Li Laifu's descendants donated a large sum of money to the community to support Hu Xiaoxiao's work, specifically to rebuild various ditches, turning open ditches into covered ditches, and to implement various protective measures, thus solving all the problems once and for all.
All these obvious changes, and the fact that everything is moving in a positive direction, are the result of Hu Xiaoxiao taking office. The residents have seen it all and remember it, which has greatly boosted Hu Xiaoxiao's reputation.
After becoming familiar with the tasks, Hu Xiaoxiao began to delegate her work to Feng Junhao, her agent. In other words, Feng Junhao handled routine matters, and Hu Xiaoxiao only needed to handle important tasks personally.
This is in accordance with the rules. Generally, those who win elections are big shots with professions or businesses. Otherwise, how could the allowances issued by the Hong Kong government be enough for these big shots to spend? Therefore, it is a very normal thing to find an agent to handle matters.
After the election campaign came to an end, Hu Xiaoxiao returned to her main job.
The script for "Baogang Inspector Wears Skirts 2" has been written, the project has been approved, and all preparations are proceeding smoothly.
Hu Xiaoxiao began to focus her attention on the new movie and kept track of the progress of various departments.
The most nerve-wracking aspect was casting. The huge success of the first film made this movie a focus of attention for the company's artists and even the entire film industry, even before it was officially launched.
The main characters remain the same, with the original cast returning.
Because it's a new story with many new characters, the artists from Shengshi Entertainment who failed to secure roles in the first installment are now eager to get one. Even if it's not a major role, it has to be at least a minor one. Seeing their colleagues who joined the company at the same time taking off with the first installment, they feel they'll be left far behind if they don't seize the opportunity.
As for the actors who had already finished filming the first part, apart from a few main characters, the others had no more roles after filming wrapped up. For example, Yu Liang and others secretly regretted not being able to benefit from the success of the first part.
Yu Liang gave an outstanding performance in "Baogang Inspector Wears Skirts" and has already received some film offers. He is considered a second-tier artist in the company's talent pool.
Yu Liang was quite satisfied with his current situation, but after the script for "Baogang Inspector Wears Skirts 2" came out, he borrowed the script from Yi Lan and read it. Suddenly, he felt that all the film contracts he had were useless.
None of these film offers were as good as "The Inspector Wears Skirts 2". Some of the roles he received were almost identical to Zeng Lin's character, so it would be pointless for him to continue playing those roles.
His agent advised him to stop taking on these kinds of roles and to wait for the company's arrangements. Perhaps there would be better films in the future, and he could try to get them then. It would be much better than playing these monotonous roles.
Unfortunately, the only good script the company has recently produced is "The Inspector Wears Skirts 2," which doesn't include a role for him.
That day, Yu Liang arrived at the company and saw a group of artists chatting and laughing around Jiang Muyang. As he passed by, Jiang Muyang called out to him.
Jiang Muyang felt an urge to bite Yu Liang whenever he saw him. He remembered how Yu Liang had mocked him back then, but now, he had turned the tables! He had finally become a true male lead, a male lead with just as many scenes as the female lead!
So, it's his turn to get revenge.
"Yu Liang!" Jiang Muyang called out to Yu Liang with a smile on his face but a sharp tongue: "I heard you recently received another film offer? I wonder which male lead you are? The third male lead? The fourth male lead? Or the fifth male lead? I really envy you. You have such a wide range of roles. You can play the third, fourth, or fifth male lead. Unlike me, I can only play the male lead."
Yu Liang wanted to punch Jiang Muyang when he saw the smug look on his face.
But what could he do? His parents weren't good enough to give him the face of a leading man. Although his looks were considered good among ordinary people, and he could be called handsome, he was just average in the entertainment industry.
Yu Liang gave a forced smile and said, "Congratulations, leading man."
"Thank you! Thank you!" At this moment, Jiang Muyang no longer felt that others calling him the male lead was an insult, but a compliment.
Indeed, strength is the foundation of confidence.
Yu Liang found it offensive to look at and quickly left.
However, since they all worked for the same company and saw each other frequently, Jiang Muyang would always "envy" Yu Liang's wide range of acting opportunities whenever he saw him. Truly, fortunes change, and luck can turn in any direction.
Yu Liang was a little heartbroken by the stab. Once, he overheard Jiang Muyang bragging to others that the reason he was able to get so many scenes as the male lead was because he asked Sister Xiao for it.
Yu Liang's heart skipped a beat. Everyone in the company knew that Hu Xiaoxiao was in charge of filming, especially the films starring her.
He remembered that Hu Xiaoxiao had once praised him for his good acting and fighting skills, saying he was the most hardworking and ambitious male artist in the company.
If he were to ask Hu Xiaoxiao for help, he might be able to get a role. It wouldn't matter if it wasn't a big part; as long as he could become a familiar face, his resume would have "Baogang Inspector Wears Skirts 2" added to it.
Even if Hu Xiaoxiao disagrees, just showing his presence in front of her might give him a chance at the next role?
Yu Liang immediately compiled his performance over the past few months into a table. After hearing that Hu Xiaoxiao had returned to the company for a quarterly meeting, he immediately took the report to Hu Xiaoxiao.
"Good afternoon, Sister Xiao." Yu Liang entered Hu Xiaoxiao's office and respectfully handed her the form. "This is the income I've brought in for the company over the past few months. I brought it here specifically for you to review. It's not much, and I can't compare to Caiwei and the others, but I'm very grateful for the opportunity you gave me. I really want you to witness my growth. I hope that in the future, I can earn more money for the company, year after year, so that I won't let you down."
Upon hearing this, Hu Xiaoxiao realized that this was a report card showing how much money she could make!
She was very interested and took the form.
Compared to her, his income was a drop in the ocean. However, the long table showed that Yu Liang was exceptionally hardworking, taking on five roles in just a few months. Although his roles were small and his pay was low, earning money made him a good employee. Furthermore, Yu Liang actively participated in various commercial activities, resulting in overall impressive achievements.
Among the company's artists, his income ranks among the top seven.
Hu Xiaoxiao liked this ambitious employee. She returned the form to Yu Liang and praised him, "You're a smart guy! You've only been with the company for a year, and your achievements are already so outstanding. I believe your future will be even brighter. Keep up the good work!"
