Rebirth of Xiangjiang - 1978

In the decades-long history of Wireless, the most core department is undoubtedly the Wireless Artist Training Class.

Over the past few decades, the artist training class has provided TVB with many well-known stars.

From the leading actors to the supporting actors and even the extras, almost all of them graduated from the artist training class of the academy. It is they who support TVB.

If compared with Dongfang, except for the ratings aspect, it can be said that TVB's artist training class can still hold a steady lead over the other side.

Lin Daoqiu has always been very envious of this wireless hematopoietic machine.

The TVB artist training class, known as the Shaolin Temple of Stars, has produced many big stars.

Not only did it export a lot of talents to Hong Kong's TV series, but many of them also became big stars in the Hong Kong film industry in the future.

For example, there are Chow Yun-fat, Stephen Chow, Ng Mang-tat, Andy Lau, Aaron Kwok, Lau Ching-wan, Tony Leung Ka-fai and so on.

If we want to surpass Wireless, talent reserve is also a very important link.

The original ATV Artist Training Class has been renamed into the Oriental Artist Training Class. In addition to the name change, Lin Daoqiu also made some major changes.

For example, students who are admitted to the Oriental Artist Training Course will undergo two years of training, and in the second year they will enter the Xiangjiang Performing Arts Academy established by him for one year of further study.

And as long as students are admitted to the Oriental Artist Training Class, in addition to participating in drama performances and making money, they will also be given basic living allowance and housing allowance every month.

It can be said that Lin Daoqiu's move has alleviated some people's worries, allowing them to focus more on learning.

Tu Yongxiong, who has been promoted to head of the production department, and general manager Huang Xizhao expressed their approval of Lin Daoqiu's measures.

The first phase of recruitment for the Oriental artist training class has also officially begun.

Oriental TV not only broadcast recruitment advertisements at various times, but Lin Daoqiu also hired major newspapers and magazines in Hong Kong to report on it for seven consecutive days.

Seeing Lin Daoqiu's big move, Fang Yihua naturally didn't dare to neglect it.

If she were facing ATV's Qiu Degen, Fang Yihua might not care too much about his actions.

But now he was facing Lin Daoqiu, and any move made by him could not be underestimated by Fang Yihua.

"Lin Daoqiu has already put on a show, what do you think about this matter?"

Fang Yihua called a group of producers and TVB management to the office for a meeting.

The first person sitting on the lower left is Zeng Lizhen, and on the right is Liang Jiashu. Others, such as Li Tiansheng, Xiao Sheng, Kam Guoliang, Zhao Zhenqiang and other producers were also present.

After Fang Yihua finished asking, the scene was so quiet that you could hear a pin drop.

Not to mention that being admitted to the Oriental Artists Training School will allow you to study at the Hong Kong Academy for the Performing Arts. The monthly living and housing subsidy alone will make Wireless a big difference.

Coupled with Lin Daoqiu's reputation, if Wireless wants to deal with it, it may have to treat him at the same level as him.

But once it comes to money, Fang Yihua becomes very difficult to talk to.

"Producer Li, please tell me."

Finding that no one was talking, Fang Yihua had no choice but to call Li Tiansheng's name.

After being named, Li Tiansheng could only speak cautiously.

"Mr. Lin is coming this time. If we want to deal with it, we may have to start by improving the treatment of students in artist training classes."

Although Li Tiansheng did not say it directly, his intention was very clear, asking Fang Yihua to increase the wages of students admitted to the artist training class.

Not to mention raising wages for newcomers, even among the popular actors, no one dared to raise the issue in front of Fang Yihua.

But if there is no additional money, once the Oriental artist training class opens, I am afraid that the best talents will be selected by Oriental TV first, and then the remaining ones will go to TVB.

You must know that before this, this has always been a wireless patent, but I didn't expect that it would be reversed now.

"Manager Zeng, what do you think of Producer Li's approach?"

When Zeng Lizhen was asked this question by Fang Yihua, she didn't know how to answer.

Although catering to Fang Yihua at this time is a very good choice, if you do so, it would be telling lies.

After all, this is a matter of life and death for wireless, and we must not make mistakes on this.

"I think Producer Li's idea is quite good. As long as we can stabilize the source of students and prevent them from all turning to Oriental TV, it will be considered a success."

Zeng Lizhen didn't say anything about adding more money, she just echoed Li Tiansheng's statement.

Originally, Fang Yihua wanted to hear some other ideas from Zeng Lizhen, but seeing this, she was indeed a little disappointed.

"Producer Li, how much salary increase do you think the company should give to trainees?"

Fang Yihua found that most people at the scene supported increasing the money. In this case, she could only follow the trend.

"I think ten thousand yuan a month should be about enough."

After Li Tiansheng said this, Fang Yihua's face suddenly dropped.

Students in the artist training class are given 10,000 yuan a month? This is simply a joke.

You must know that students who have graduated from artist training classes will only sign a one-year contract with no basic salary unless the company is very optimistic about providing them with long-term contracts.

The kind of contract with no basic salary is based on the workload, so if you work more, you will get more, and you will lose your income at any time.

Now Li Tiansheng actually said that he would provide a monthly subsidy of 10,000 yuan to the students in the artist training class. This really made Fang Yihua very angry.

"Ten thousand yuan is a bit too much. I think five thousand is about right. After all, they are just students. If you give too much, it will be difficult to adjust later."

When Zeng Lizhen saw the expression on Fang Yihua's face, she quickly reduced the price by half.

As soon as Li Tiansheng heard what Zeng Lizhen said, he immediately realized that what he just said must have caused Fang Yihua's displeasure.

"Leave this matter to Manager Zeng."

Fang Yihua did not intend to discuss this matter anymore.

After the meeting, Fang Yihua returned to the office without saying a word. Judging from the expression on her face, it was clear that she was in a very bad mood at this time.

"Are these people out of their minds? Ten thousand yuan a month. Do they think the company's money comes from strong winds?"

Covering his head with his hands, Fang Yihua was almost going crazy.

Zeng Lizhen stood aside and did not dare to say a word. Who knew what Li Tiansheng was thinking, which almost got them all involved.

After a while, after Fang Yihua calmed down a little, Zeng Lizhen spoke.

"Ms. Fang, calm down. Producer Li has been in charge of filming the drama. I'm afraid he doesn't know much about the company's situation."

When Zeng Lizhen said this, Fang Yihua turned around and glared at her.

"Don't put in good words for him. Although a salary increase is inevitable, it's not enough to increase it too much. Just give them three thousand a month."

For Fang Yihua, who has always been very frugal with artist salaries, it is already a great thing to be able to provide a monthly subsidy of 3,000 to the students of the artist training class.
