Treasure Island 1992, starting from the Four Little Heavenly Kings

There are widespread rumors in the entertainment industry about ATV's rectification of the salaries of its actors and ATV's revelation that it will hold a TV drama award next year.

This incident also had a great impact on the entire entertainment industry.

Since Chen Qiming took over ATV and assumed the position of chairman of ATV, the outside world has been paying attention to Chen Qiming's actions towards ATV.

Everyone wants to know how Chen Qiming plans to bring ATV back to life.

Well, it doesn’t count as coming back from the dead, after all, ATV is not dead.

But it is an undeniable fact that everyone wants to see whether ATV will become better in the hands of Chen Qiming.

At the beginning of the year, Chen Qiming did announce several operations to improve ATV after taking office.

But generally speaking, these operations are basically small operations.

No matter who serves as president of ATV, these operations are essential.

After all, develop a new TV series, a variety show.

This is not a big deal for a television station.

But the two recent events are really big moves.

The first is to rectify the salaries and wages of ATV staff.

This incident doesn't just affect ATV.

You know, the entertainment industry is interconnected, and one move affects the whole body. ATV has improved the treatment of its staff. What will other TV stations and colleagues in the TV industry think?

TVB actors and staff who are also in Hong Kong see that all the staff at the TV station next door have received a salary increase. What will they think?

When people go to higher places, water flows to lower places. This is an eternal law in human history.

In the past, although ATV's salary was slightly higher than that of TVB, with contracts in hand and ATV having a better chance to get ahead, TVB actors gradually stabilized after the initial wave of job-hopping.

Now, ATV has suddenly greatly improved the salary for the staff below, almost two-thirds of what it was before.

Moreover, there is a stable upward path.

Under such circumstances, TVB actors will naturally be jealous.

This was reflected a few days after ATV announced the treatment rectification.

In less than a week, a large number of actors whose contracts with TVB had expired directly announced that they would quit ATV.

It’s not just the famous actors.

In terms of extras, ATV is obviously more attractive than TVB.

After the announcement of ATV's treatment rectification, ATV's major TV drama studios gathered a large number of extras every day in order to get jobs at ATV.

Not only TVB, but also actors in Baodao were shocked by ATV's actions.

Former ATV actor He Jiajin.

It is the Zhan Zhao who became famous on ATV, went to Baodao to develop, and became famous all over the country with his role as Zhan Zhao.

Because of the rectification of treatment at ATV, he flew back to Hong Kong directly from Treasure Island.

This year, Ho’s contract with Baodao CTV is about to expire.

ATV TV station has been actively contacting him recently and wants to sign him back to ATV.

Originally he was indifferent.

However, ATV's treatment changes made him change his mind and return to Hong Kong to find out the truth in person.

In addition to He Jiajin, ATV's operation also attracted TVB's popular actor Fan Shaohuang.

This second-generation star, who debuted with the same star, made movies in the early stage. Recently, he has gained a lot of popularity in the TV drama field because of the role of Xu Zhu. Because of ATV's big move, he took the initiative to join ATV.

Signed a three-year television contract with ATV.

In addition, in addition to actors, directors, screenwriters and other members behind the scenes, ATV has recently recruited a lot of actors, most of them from freelancers and TVB.

It can be said that ATV’s actions directly recruited a large number of talents for ATV.

Not only did it strengthen ATV’s reputation, it also indirectly weakened TVB.

However, although ATV has gained a lot of benefits from this, it also has some disadvantages.

First of all, it was because Chen Qiming risked the world's disapproval to rectify the salaries of TV actors, which angered the bosses of other TV stations and made Chen Qiming a disgusting existence for them.

At the same time, it also made ATV the target of public criticism.

Especially TVB hates Chen Qiming.

The current head of TVB, Fang Yihua, even publicly declared, "Chen Qiming is a troublemaker, and the Hong Kong TV industry will die sooner or later because of him."

Originally, the relationship between Chen Qiming and Fang Yihua was actually pretty good.

At the beginning, Chen Qiming obtained a large number of song copyrights from China Star Records from Fang Yihua. Since both parties benefited from this transaction, the relationship between the two parties was not bad.

Later, in order to enter Chen Qiming's Peacebird Clothing Company, Robert Kuok exchanged a certain number of shares with Chen Qiming for his shares in other companies.

Among them is a little bit of TVB shares.

After acquiring shares in TVB, Chen Qiming and Fang Yihua socialized more.

For a while, TVB even invited him to serve as the company's vice president.

The originally good relationship quickly deteriorated because Chen Qiming took charge of ATV.

Now, both sides have even gone so far as to belittle each other in the media.

In fact, it's no wonder Fang Yihua is so angry.

It’s really because of Chen Qiming’s actions that TVB suffered a huge loss.

Not only various film and television production talents and actors.

In terms of funds, TVB directly lost millions in a few days because of Chen Qiming.

After ATV announced that it would increase the salary of staff filming for ATV.

The whole TVB can be said to be ready for action.

Not only have their contracts with TVB expired, artists who were still negotiating contracts have stopped negotiating contracts.

Even those guys who still have a lot of years left on their contracts are starting to become distracted and seem to want to jump to ATV as soon as their contracts are over.

In order to prevent the company from becoming turbulent and to retain the company's reputation, TVB could not afford to be stingy at this time and had no choice but to pinch its nose and provide better treatment to its staff.

Although a few million Hong Kong dollars seems very small.

But that evaporated in just a few days!

According to the current trend.

Actors' salaries will definitely rise sharply in the future because of Chen Qiming.

And how many actors does TVB have?

In order to retain people, they had to match the pay.

Under such circumstances, TVB will naturally have to spend more money.

Fang Yihua can already imagine how much money TVB will spend on this in the future.

Therefore, she was so angry that she scolded Chen Qiming in the media for not knowing how to do business and would only disrupt the market.

Of course Chen Qiming also knew about Fang Yihua's attacks on him in the media.

However, he ignored it.

There are two reasons why I ignored it.

One is that the other party is a senior, and although Sir Shao is stingy, he is still a good person.

At the very least, as a wealthy person, he should have the social responsibilities he should have.

Chen Qiming admires him very much for donating the money he gets from TVB actors to mainland educational institutions every year.

How much money did Sir Shao donate to educational institutions in the Mainland during his lifetime?

According to the information in the dream, according to incomplete statistics, he has donated a total of nearly 5 billion Hong Kong dollars.

In other words, this is almost equivalent to Chen Qiming's current net worth.

So much money was donated to educational institutions. Chen Qiming really admires him.

For such a person who has social responsibility and a sense of responsibility as a Chinese.

Chen Qiming does not want to attack or discredit him and his family.

Therefore, facing Fang Yihua's attack, Chen Qiming directly chose to ignore it.

Anyway, Fang Yihua was just angry for a moment, and at the same time, it was impossible to lose any of his skin after being slandered for a few words.

As for the second reason, it is entirely Chen Qiming's own fault.

He really didn't have the energy to care about it.

After the time entered July, Chen Qiming was filming "I Have a Date with a Zombie" while on the other hand, he began to be busy with the "Idol of the Times" audition.

In mid-July, Asia's first large-scale idol talent show "Time Idol", led by ATV and assisted by South Korea's SM Company, Japan's Johnny & Associates and some brokerage companies in other countries, officially started its preliminary rounds.

A total of tens of thousands of people have signed up for this draft.

There has been a wave of talent show frenzy across Asia.

After more than half a month of selection.

In early August, the primaries were finally completed.

A total of 100 good-looking men were selected from more than a dozen countries in Southeast Asia and came to Hong Kong to officially start recording "Idol of the Times".

As the initiator of this draft.

Chen Qiming became one of the mentors of this draft without hesitation.

In addition to him, Chen Qiming also spent huge sums of money to invite three big-name pop stars to help out and serve as mentors.

First of all, the first one is his brother Leslie Cheung who was popular in Southeast Asia in the late 1980s.

Then the second one was Akina Nakamori, one of the four great singers of Showa Japan.

The third one is Shin Seung-hoon, the prince of Korean love songs.

Together with Chen Qiming, the four formed a team of super idol mentors from the 1980s to the 1990s.

This mentor team actually has meaning.

All four of them were super idols who were popular in Asia in the 1980s and 1990s.

Leslie Cheung represents Cantonese and was a popular idol in Southeast Asia in the 1980s.

Akina Nakamori, one of the Four Showa Princesses, was regarded as an idol superstar in the 1980s when Japan had a strong influence on the entire Asia. Countless people fell in love with her beauty.

The two people mentioned above were era idols in the 1980s.

Then came the nineties.

Although Chen Qiming's songs span Mandarin, Cantonese, English, Japanese, Korean...

But his achievement in Mandarin is undoubtedly the strongest. At the same time, he is also the first Asian singer among the four to break into the international market. It is right to call him the idol of the era.

And Shin Seung-hun.

Some people may feel that Shin Seung-hoon is not good enough to rank with the above three.

But when it comes to influence in their respective regions and countries, he is actually not inferior to Chen Qiming and others.

He is a well-deserved idol of this era in Korea.

His record sales exceed those of other Korean singers. He also has a large number of fans and has considerable influence in other parts of Asia. He is respectfully known as Korean Chen Qiming by Koreans.

One person speaks one language, one person comes from one region.

This is to consider the audience.

Because "Idol of the Times" is not only broadcast in Hong Kong.

This variety show will also be broadcast in other regions such as Japan and South Korea.

In this case, having a local big star as a mentor will be inherently beneficial to the promotion of the show.

At noon on August 6, Chen Qiming temporarily finished "I Have a Date with a Zombie" and came to the ATV studio.

When he arrived, the other three instructors had already arrived.

The three of them were chatting together.

They are all top singers in their respective countries, and the three of them all know each other.

Especially Leslie Cheung and Akina Nakamori, Shin Seung-hoon may still be their fans.

Therefore, the three of them seemed to be chatting very happily.

"Mingzai! I'm so grateful to you. I've always wanted to cooperate with Miss Zhongmori. This time, I finally have the chance."

From afar, Leslie Cheung said with a smile.

"Onisan, you're welcome. I've always wanted to cooperate with you." Nakamori Akina next to him said politely.

At the end, Akina Nakamori looked at Chen Qiming and said, "Thank you, Mr. Chen, for giving me this opportunity."

"You're welcome, I have always liked Miss Nakamori. When the program planner told me that we needed to invite an idol mentor with the significance of the times, I immediately thought of you." Chen Qiming replied.

Arriving in front of a few people, Chen Qiming took the initiative to greet Shen Shengxun, "Mr. Shen, I have long admired your name."

"Me too, they call me Korean Chen Qiming." Shin Shengxun is very humorous and laughs at himself for becoming Chen Qiming's shadow.

Of course, there may still be some who are more or less unconvinced.

Chen Qiming didn't care and asked several people, "Have you met the students? Do you think there is any one with good potential?"

Chen Qiming has been busy filming TV series recently, so he has not had contact with students.

On the contrary, it was Leslie Cheung and the other three who came to visit the location several days in advance and even met the students.

Leslie Cheung spoke first, "I met several students here in Hong Kong, and one of them named Edison Chen is very good, he can rap, and he is very good at rapping.

It's just that this guy has such a flashy personality that he's hooked up with several female staff members after only a few days here. "

Hearing this, Chen Qiming couldn't help but remain silent.

Unexpectedly, Brother Guanxi is here too.

To be honest, in terms of appearance, this guy is really good. No wonder Leslie Cheung is optimistic about him.

However, this guy is indeed a guy who can produce nude photos, and he actually started to reveal his true nature so early.

"When I came here, I took a flight with students from Japan. I got a general understanding of them. I don't know the details yet, but there is one named Takizawa Hideaki who is very good.

As far as I know, he seems to have signed a contract with Johnny's in 1995. Originally, Johnny's was going to let him debut in a TV series this year.

Because of Mr. Chen's draft, Johnny delayed his debut. "

"I didn't find anything too outstanding in Korea. This may be because I have very high requirements."

When Chen Qiming looked at Shen Shengxun, he shook his head.

Hearing this, Chen Qiming nodded and decided to focus on the two recommended by Leslie Cheung and Akina Nakamori later.

Of course, Brother Guanxi, Chen Qiming had roughly understood his deeds in his dream.

Chen Qiming still understands his abilities.

The only thing he was worried about was whether this guy could debut as a group.

Also, don't let this guy explode while he's still in the group.

Otherwise, the idol of his time would be in vain.
