From being a host on Feng Huáng TV to starring in a TV series and two hot-selling movies, Stephen Chow saved more than 300,000 yuan.
However, Stephen Chow's family still lives in an old house. He is planning to save another year to buy a house to buy a car for himself.
Stephen Chow is quite introverted. He is eloquent when he is a host. He is taciturn as soon as he is out of work. After several years, he has made friends with Mao Shunjun and Wu Mengda.
If Ng Man-tat hadn't forced him to play cards today, Stephen Chow would have been staying at home and watching TV alone. He felt that he was not familiar with Leslie Cheung and Anita Mui, so there was nothing to communicate with.
After playing cards for several hours, it was almost dark, Anita Mui kept them at home for dinner, but Stephen Chow insisted on going back.
Wu Mengda had no choice but to drive Stephen Chow home. The Chinese New Year will be held tomorrow, and it is difficult to take a taxi at this time.
Stephen Chow's family only has his mother, an older sister and a younger sister. As for his father, when he was a child, his parents divorced after Stephen Chow said something.
At that time, Stephen Chow said to his mother: I saw my father hugging a woman in the cinema...
A Xing, there is a gentleman looking for you. He has been waiting at home for a long time.As soon as Stephen Chow returned home, he heard his mother Ling Bao say.
Stephen Chow was a little troubled by the reporter during this period and said in a low voice: Mom, why are you leaving people at home?
Ling Bao helped Stephen Chow come out with slippers, pointed to the living room and said: It's from Jiahe Film, he seems to be a big shot.
What are the people from Jiahe doing?
Stephen Chow doesn't think Jiahe is here to poach people, because the penalty for digging him is too high, and even Stephen Chow feels that he is not worth the price.
Cai Yongchang was sitting in the living room drinking tea, and from time to time he gave some stories from the movie circle to Stephen Chow's sister. As for Stephen Chow's sister, she was already married.
Seeing Stephen Chow come in, Cai Yongchang stood up and shook hands with Stephen Chow and said: Mr. Zhou, I'm so embarrassed to disturb you.
Who are you?But Stephen Chow doesn't know which character Cai Yongchang is.
I am Jiahe Cai Yongchang.Cai Yongchang handed him a business card.
Stephen Chow took the business card and took a look, then put it in his pocket and asked: Is there anything wrong with Mr. Cai looking for me?
Cai Yongchang smiled and said: That's right. Our chairman admires Mr. Zhou's talent very much, so let me visit.
Most of the withdrawn people are more sensitive. Stephen Chow is like this. When he was a child, he never played with his friends. He just stood alone behind the iron window and looked at the pedestrians on the street, and then he thought about it all in his heart.
Cai Yongchang only mentioned it slightly, and Stephen Chow realized that the other party wanted to recruit him, and said in surprise: Mr. Cai, my contract has more than nine years left.
The liquidated damages are not a problem, so we Jiahe will naturally find a way. Cai Yongchang took out a check and said, As long as Mr. Zhou comes to Jiahe to develop, the 3 million will be yours.To be honest, since DreamWorks was banned, there has been little future for an actor like Stephen Chow to stay there, because no one will ask you to make a movie except DreamWorks.How many movies can I make a year just by staying at DreamWorks?At most two movies, it’s a big deal. DreamWorks has to leave some resources for other actors, which is very unfavorable to your development...
Cai Yongchang is indeed very eloquent, but he relied on the money offensive when he was digging Jackie Chan.
Jackie Chan was just an actor who had never seen the world before. He fainted with a string of zero checks and had not counted clearly for half a day.
(At that time, Jackie Chan only got 1 million yuan, and the rest was taken away by Rovie as redemption money)
Stephen Chow was also a little dizzy when he saw a string of zeros on the check. His hands began to tremble, and an impulse tempting him to take the check.
3 million Ah, there are all kinds of luxury houses and luxury cars.
Calm down, be sure to be calm!
Stephen Chow took a few deep breaths, swallowed his saliva and looked at the check again, and resisted the impulse and asked: Mr. Cai, I am not that good, why did he come to me?
Haha, Mr. Zhou still underestimated himself. Cai Yongchang smiled and said that there are not many movies in Hong Kong that have a box office of over 30 million yuan. Judging from the current situation of "The Gambling Saint", the box office will definitely exceed 30 million yuan.It’s a pity for an actor like you to stay in DreamWorks and be banned. If you come to Jiahe, you will earn at least twice as much money as DreamWorks every year.
Stephen Chow must be grateful to Kang Jianfei. Kang Jianfei promoted him to be a host and a TV series actor all the way, and now he has finally become a big movie star.
But apart from gratitude, Stephen Chow has no loyalty to Kang Jianfei and DreamWorks, and 3 million is enough to touch his heart.
Carefully weighing the pros and cons, Stephen Chow's mind became more and more confused as he thought about it, while Cai Yongchang encouraged him to change jobs from time to time.
A few minutes later, Stephen Chow, who felt dry mouth, took a sip of water and said hesitantly: This, you can talk to DreamWorks first, see if you can let anyone go there.
Stephen Chow signed a brokerage contract with Oriental Entertainment. Compared with later generations, many of the contents are actually equivalent to overbearing terms.
Within ten years, Oriental Entertainment Company was responsible for packaging and promoting Stephen Chow. All Stephen Chow wanted to make movies, release records, and receive announcements were handled by Oriental Entertainment Company. Stephen Chow was not allowed to privately accept any advertisements, movies, or record contracts.
This is the agent contract of the young actor. If you like to sign or not, get out of here. There are countless people waiting to sign such a contract.
As for artists like Alan Tam and Adam Cheng who are already famous for their skills, their agency contracts are much more free, so they are so carefree when termination.
In addition to the agency contract, Stephen Chow also signed a ten-year movie contract with DreamWorks. The power and obligations of both parties are to shoot at least one movie at DreamWorks every year.
There are also pitfalls in this contract, because the final interpretation is in DreamWorks.
If Stephen Chow has no box office value, then DreamWorks will just fulfill his obligations by letting him be a supporting role. If Stephen Chow becomes popular, then Stephen Chow must be the protagonist to be considered a film for DreamWorks.
Anyway, the contract is all kinds of dirty and illegitimate, and it is all tinkered by lawyers from DreamWorks Legal Department. The young actor has no right to raise objections when signing the contract, so you can only choose to sign or not.
Stephen Chow was trapped by two overlord contracts with nine years left. If he wanted to switch to any company, the total penalty for liquidated damages would exceed 10 million, which was definitely a sky-high price.
I have to say that Kang Jianfei's heart is still very dark.He can't control himself, who has become famous, and if any celebrity he trains himself wants to betray him, he will definitely have to pay the corresponding price.
Not to mention Stephen Chow, even Wen Bixia’s current contract is this because she has not changed since she signed it.
Seeing that Stephen Chow was moved by his words, Cai Yongchang continued to persuade: Mr. Zhou, if you want to terminate the contract with DreamWorks, you must agree first so that we can arrange for the lawyer to do the remaining work.If you don't trust us, you can accept this check first.
Stephen Chow was very cautious in his character, and in the end he resisted the temptation of a huge sum of 3 million yuan. He smiled reluctantly: Mr. Cai, I will consider this matter first.
Cai Yongchang smiled and said: Of course, before the Spring Festival holiday ends, Mr. Zhou has a lot of time to think carefully.
After Cai Yongchang left, Stephen Chow walked around the room anxiously, and Zhou's mother called him to eat without any response.
After more than three hours of anxiety, Stephen Chow called Wu Mengda.
Hello, who is so late?
Brother Da, it’s me, A Xing.
What's wrong?It’s a little early to greet the New Year, let’s talk about it tomorrow.
Brother Da, I have something I want to ask you for advice.
You're welcome to me, please tell me if you have something to do.
If, I mean, if someone comes to poach me with 3 million, what should you do?
Who is crazy to dig you, two contracts are more than 10 million.
I mean if.
The other end of the phone suddenly paused, and then Wu Mengda's voice came: Is anyone really digging you?Jiahe or Xinyi City?
Alas, don’t ask so much, do you think I should leave?Stephen Chow said irritably.
"The Gambler" also made Ng Man-tat popular. He felt that it was appropriate to play with Stephen Chow, but he was unwilling to lose a good partner, so he naturally had to try his best to keep him. He said: You are mentally ill. DreamWorks just made you famous and then changed jobs. Will Mr. Kang let him go?
Stephen Chow said: If I had to leave, Mr. Kang had no choice but to sue me and someone would also pay me a penalty for liquidated damages.
Will Mr. Kang sue you in court?Just ask someone to kill you!
Ng Man-tat began to intimidate, he promoted you in two consecutive movies, where would he put his face if you left?Mr. Kang has money and doesn’t care about your liquidated damages of more than 10 million yuan, but he will treat you as a rebellious person for the rest of his life.If you leave at this time, you will be looked down upon by anyone who comes to any company.
Stephen Chow said: I live my own, and no one needs to respect me.
Ng Mengda said funny: If you go to Jiahe or Xinyi City, I dare to be 100% sure that if Mr. Kang doesn't find someone to kill you, he will use all means to ruin your reputation.As long as you can withstand it, just change jobs.
Stephen Chow seemed to be really scared and held the microphone for a long time without saying anything.
Ng Mengda continued: Besides, when you go to another company, which director can tailor-made a nonsensical comedy that suits you like Mr. Kang?Don't regard "The Saint of Gambling" as your credit for being alone.Think about it carefully, I'll hang up first.
Stephen Chow was even more confused when he held the phone, and he didn't know what to do.
Wu Mengda quickly called Zeng Bolin and said: Assistant Zeng, someone is going to poach Ah Xing... Yes, I don’t know which company it is.Ah Xing was a little moved, but he hadn't made up his mind yet.Well, I will keep him steady, don't worry...
However, Stephen Chow's family still lives in an old house. He is planning to save another year to buy a house to buy a car for himself.
Stephen Chow is quite introverted. He is eloquent when he is a host. He is taciturn as soon as he is out of work. After several years, he has made friends with Mao Shunjun and Wu Mengda.
