1979 Golden Age

At this moment, Chen Qi arrived at ATV headquarters.

"Dear Chen!"

"Dear Lee!"

He and Li Zhuanglie hugged each other and greeted each other in London accent. Li Zhuanglie laughed and said: "We have already started the preparatory work. We have three months to warm up the publicity and produce the program. This year's Miss Asia will definitely be extraordinary!"

"How many people have signed up? Are there any good candidates?"

"Of course I have, look at this!"

Li Zhuanglie brought a stack of information, the first one was Li Zhi, and the information was very detailed.

25 years old, 168cm tall, born in Shanghai, moved to Hong Kong in 1981, went to the University of San Francisco in the United States to study business economics in 1983, and returned to Hong Kong to register for Miss Asia.

"How is she? I haven't seen her in person, but all the employees who interviewed her praised her for her amazing figure! The production team decided to promote her."

"He's famous before the game?"

"Almost the same. We will do "Walking with Asian Miss" again like last year and highlight Li Zhi. Her experience is a good topic."

Well, that's why I was bullied.

Chen Qi curled his lips. Li Zhi was bullied a lot when she was developing in Hong Kong. The Hong Kong circle has never looked down on her, even when she married Li Lianjie. But it's good that she came, otherwise the world line will be biased again.

After talking about Miss Asia, Li Zhuanglie took a copy of this year's artist training class information and complained:

"We and TVB have become your talent pool. You can pick and choose who you want, and snatch them away whenever you want!"

"If I stay at your TV station, I can only film some TV series, but I may not become famous. What is your success rate? The people I picked are 100%. I trained them and asked them to take time out to help you film TV series. What do you have to complain about?"

There are not many good ones in TVB Artist Training Class this year. There are Guo Zhenghong, Lin Weichen, Wang Weide, etc. You may not know them by their names, but you can tell by their faces that they are all familiar faces in Hong Kong dramas.

ATV has a surprise this year.

Chen Qi flipped through them, pulled out two, and said, "Let's take them!"

Li Zhuanglie took a look and said, "One boy and one girl! The girl doesn't matter, but I advise you to consider the boy. The teacher said he lacks performance potential, and he will be asked to drop out if he fails the next exam."

"But he's handsome! If you want to get involved in the industry, being handsome is a gift."

"There are handsome guys everywhere. Do you really think you can turn everything into gold? It's up to you. I'll call them over now."

"Sure, I'm here."

"Then they are lucky, you can recruit them yourself."

…………

In fact, ATV’s Artist Training Class has produced quite a few stars.

Liza Wang, Damian Lau, Alex Man, Kenny Ho, etc., unfortunately they couldn't keep them and all went to TVB. Their training classes are also held once a year, and the system is similar to that of TVB, or even stricter.

Early this morning.

The 18-year-old Zhang Min arrived at the classroom early, sat in his seat, took out his notebook, and looked like a good student.

She has long hair, doesn't know how to dress up, has a rustic temperament, and has wide cheeks on both sides. This is her flaw, which was more obvious in the early days, but later she became thinner and her face looked much smaller.

It is also possible that the mandible was shaved, which is the same part that Yang Mi shaved off.

She is also from Shanghai.

At the age of 11, she moved to Hong Kong with her parents. Once, a teacher from the ATV training class spotted her on the road and invited her to take classes. But she didn't want to rely on introductions, so she signed up for the exam and came in to study.

According to historical records, she was handing out flyers for Miss Asia on the street in the summer when she was spotted by Xiang Huasheng's wife Zhang Meiling, who invited her to join the company. So Zhang Min signed a contract with Yongsheng before graduating from the training class, and later became Xiang Huasheng's girlfriend.

Zhang Min is also from mainland China. He also sold body parts in his early years. For example, in "Dance of Fire", he had a large-scale rape scene with Qin Pei in the bathtub. His skin was as white as a mountain.

But she was not bullied because she had the support of the Xiang brothers. It is rumored that Wang Jing scolded Zhang Min during filming and was beaten up as a result - this rumor is not reliable.

Zhang Min has a heroic appearance, and her ancient costumes are more colorful than modern ones. However, she doesn't look good with long hair in modern clothes, but she looks good with short hair. After she broke up with Xiang Huasheng, she failed in business repeatedly, and later she fled to Thailand to settle down.

After waiting for a while, the students arrived one after another.

The teacher also came and started teaching.

The ATV training class has four major exams every semester. If you fail the exam, you will be asked to drop out. Everyone is under a lot of pressure. I just finished talking for a while when someone at the door said, "Sorry, teacher, I'm late!"

"Li Ming! When will you change your habit of being late? Will you be late for the crew in the future? How big of a star are you? Making everyone wait for you?"

"I'm sorry, teacher. I won't do it again next time!"

Standing at the door was a tall and thin boy with handsome features but a rustic temperament. It was Li Ming, who had just turned 20.

He was used to being late, so the teacher was too lazy to say anything more and just told him to go to his seat.

Li Ming's father is an Indonesian Chinese who went to college in Beijing, got married and had children, and later went to work in Hong Kong and brought him back. He participated in the ATV training class, but was persuaded to drop out after failing the third exam. Unwilling to give up, he participated in a singing competition and was able to enter the entertainment industry.

It can be said that these two people were originally given up by ATV.

…………

“Boom boom boom!”

"What's going on?"

The teacher was interrupted again and again and couldn't help getting angry. He saw an ATV staff member standing at the door and said, "Excuse me, Director Li asked me to call two people. Zhang Min, Li Ming, follow me!"

"ah?"

The two were confused and turned their eyes to the teacher, who waved his hand impatiently: "Go away! It's so troublesome to attend class!"

So, they stood up and went out under the gaze of their classmates. They were all in the same building, not far away, and nervously came to a room with a sign saying "Director's Office".

Zhang Min swallowed his saliva.

Director! What a high-ranking official.

The staff member knocked on the door and reported: "Director Li, the person is here!"

"Let them in!"

The two entered the office and were shocked to see Li Zhuanglie first and then Chen Qi. Li Ming, who was lazily sitting, was also shocked and subconsciously straightened his back to give the other party the best impression.

"Mr. Chen!"

"You are the one looking for us?"

Zhang Min was a little clever, and suddenly changed his words to Mandarin with a Shanghai accent. As expected, Chen Qi smiled and said, "You can speak Shanghainese?"

"Of course, my parents speak Shanghainese at home."

"Good, keep it up."

Chen Qi turned to Li Ming and asked with a smile: "So you can speak Beijing dialect?"

"I, I'm speaking Mandarin!"

Li Ming scratched his head, because speaking Beijing dialect sounds very deliberate and unnatural.

"I was just chatting with Director Li and when we talked about the training class, I picked a few new people. I think you two have great potential. Would you like to come to Dongfang Company?"

"Yes, yes!"

"Of course I do!"

The two of them nodded rapidly.

"Well, someone will contact you to coordinate the contract. You can go back first."

Although they only said a few words and were a little disappointed, they left the room with great surprise. When they returned to the classroom and looked at their classmates again, they felt that they were not on the same level as them.

Chen Qi was a little disappointed after seeing him. He thought he was too immature and unsophisticated and needed training.

Zhang Min has grown up, he just needs to dress up more. Li Ming, on the other hand, needs to practice his acting and singing skills. He was a pure idol in the early days, but his real talent came later. So far, three of the Four Heavenly Kings have been recruited.

(No more...

Let me ask you, do all those who got married regret it?
