Chapter 240 Liang Jiahui
Eight o'clock in the morning.
Liu Dehua came to the place where the TVB artist training class was held. This was the garden house of an old movie star. TVB rented it specifically for training.
The training class is full-time and starts in January every year and ends at the end of the year. Each quarter is a stage.
The first stage teaches basics, the second stage involves rehearsing masterpieces, including works by Dumas and Chekhov, and the third stage involves excerpting clips from TVB dramas for students to rehearse.
The fourth stage is internship.
Finally, there is the exam, and you can only sign a contract if you pass the exam. In an environment like Hong Kong, this kind of training class is already very professional. It has been going on for 9 months now and is about to enter the internship. However, Liu Dehua has performed well and has already started to perform small roles.
He came to the garden house as usual and met a pretty girl. He smiled and said, "Wow, Hua Zai, look at your proud look. Is it true that you are the leading actor?"
"Lin Zixiang is the leading actor, and I am the supporting role, the supporting role!"
"Young master, you don't know how envious we are. By the way, the teacher is looking for trouble!"
"Oh thanks, I'll treat you to chicken legs another day!"
This girl's name is Qi Meizhen, one of TVB's leading actresses. She retired early and later married Miao Qiaowei.
She is Zhou Xingchi's neighbor. Zhou Xingchi applied for the exam together with her but failed. Next year he took the exam with Liang Chaowei but still failed. Thanks to Qi Meizhen interceding with the teacher, Zhou Xingchi entered the night class and was considered a preparatory student.
Hong Kong is a small place, so it’s hard to tell who is related to whom.
Liu Dehua continued to go upstairs, greeted Xu Jinjiang, Wu Jiali and others, and entered an office. The director of the training class was waiting for him and said directly: "Are you sure you want to play "Journey to the Wrath"?"
"Well, I don't want to give up such a good opportunity."
"You are not a regular employee of TVB. Logically speaking, we have no power to control you, but you have a good image, completed your studies well, and worked very hard. If you join TVB, you will be reused.
It took Zhou Runfa two years to go from a bit player to a leading actor, but you are no worse than him.
If you go filming here, you may delay your graduation exam, so I'll talk to you first, do you want to join TVB?"
"I do, of course I do!"
"Okay then, you sign this agreement..."
The director pushed over a contract and said with a smile: "Don't worry, we just made an agreement in advance. When you come back from filming, you will join the TV station, and you can't join another company."
"I want to take it back and take a closer look, is that okay?"
"Is there something good to see? I'm telling you what you don't understand. Or are you saying you don't want to sign the contract?"
"No, no, I am very willing to join the TV station."
Seeing this, Liu Dehua did not dare to say anything more and signed on the spot. The director smiled and said: "Okay, you go and gather everyone, I have something to announce."
He went out and gathered his classmates. After a while, the director came over and talked about the opening, how hard he trained, how excellent his performance was, and so on, and then said:
"We set up training classes to cultivate talents for TVB. When you come in, you naturally want to join the TV station.
We have completed the 9-month course and are about to enter the internship period. We will arrange for you to intern on various crews. Don’t worry about the quota. TVB is a big company and they produce many dramas every year, which is enough for you."
The director suddenly changed the topic and said: "There is something to be announced today. Each of you will get a contract in advance. This does not mean that you will be a formal employee immediately, but it is equivalent to a letter of guarantee, confirming that after the graduation exam
Enter TVB."
This agreement is similar to Liu Dehua's, but Liu Dehua talked alone.
It is also very common in later generations. For example, in "Super Girl", every time a contestant advances to a stage, he or she must sign a contract to ensure that this person will not run away.
Everyone listened and there was no objection. They came here just to join TVB. At this moment, someone suddenly raised his hand and asked: "Teacher, what are the terms of the final formal contract we signed? I am
It refers to deadlines, basic benefits, filming subsidies, etc..."
Um?
The director took a look and saw that the person asking the question had half-long hair and sharp facial lines. He was not handsome in the traditional sense, but he had a lot of personality. He was one of the best people in the class, named Liang Jiahui.
The director has a headache.
Liang Jiahui graduated from the Hong Kong Polytechnic with a serious degree in graphic design.
Others are dumbfounded. He is in trouble when the teacher says what it is, because he thinks about it. Just like this agreement, everyone signs it without hesitation, but he wants to ask clearly.
"Your formal contract is for eight years."
"You are all newcomers, and your salary will definitely not be very high. It will be about a few hundred yuan a month, and there will be additional subsidies for filming. But this is only temporary. You are all very good. You will become big stars in the future, and your income will be ten times.
It’s doubled tenfold!”
Liang Jiahui was unmoved and continued to ask: "If I don't sign, will I not be able to intern?"
"..."
The director knitted his eyebrows and said sternly: "If you don't sign, not only will you not be able to intern, you won't have to take the graduation exam, and you will be kicked out!"
Hiss!
Everyone was as silent as cicadas.
Liang Jiahui didn't ask any more questions and just nodded.
After the director finished speaking, he left. Everyone immediately gathered around Liang Jiahui and said in unison: "Jiahui, don't be impulsive. We have been studying for 9 months. It would be a pity to quit!"
"Eight years is not a long time. Senior brothers and sisters have come here like this. Maybe you will be the next Zhou Runfa."
"Please! I am 23 years old this year and will be 31 in 8 years!"
Liang Jiahui was very assertive and advised them in turn: "Everyone wants to be Zhou Runfa, but there is only one Zhou Runfa. There are so many actors in TVB, how can you be sure that you can get ahead? Do you live on a salary of several hundred yuan?"
Okay, don’t say it anymore, I’ve already decided.”
After that, he went directly into the office, and came out after a while. His face was very ugly, and he probably had a quarrel with the director.
Then I packed up my things and wanted to leave immediately.
"Jiahui!"
Liu Dehua stopped him again and said, "Are you really going to leave? What will you do next?"
"I have all the skills, but I can't make a living anywhere. I really can't be a salaryman!"
The two often played small roles together and had a good friendship. Liang Jiahui put his arm around his shoulders and said, "Let me tell you, I actually have a dream, which is to start a magazine myself, and now I have the opportunity.
You are different from me, you are here to eat, so work hard!"
He really left.
Everyone looked at his back and felt that he was very cool and impulsive, but they didn't dare to do it anyway.
After Liang Jiahui left the training class, he really started working on magazines. He made a girls' fashion magazine called "La Bouche" - this is the French name.
He was the only one from top to bottom, doing all the interviewing, photography, editing, recruiting, and supervising printing... Only one issue was published, so it was of course a hit. But there was also a gain. He found a young actor to be a model for the magazine.
We dated for a while.
The young actor's name is Li Dianxin, and her father's name is Li Hanxiang. We all know what happened next...
