Rebirth of Xiangjiang - 1978

"Afa, the company is doing this for your own good. Everyone has been very happy to cooperate with each other. There is no need to make it so tense, right?"

Tsang Lizhen invited Chow Yun-fat to her office to discuss contract renewal, and also provided a generous contract, but the term was still five years.

Chow Yun-fat has acted in many TV series in recent years. He no longer has much interest in TV series. Now he still hopes to develop into the film industry.

"Ms. Zeng, I have a lot of affection for the company. I have hardly had much rest in the past few years, but I feel a little tired now. I'd better forget about renewing the contract."

Chow Yun-fat is definitely not emotionless towards TVB. After all, he has gone from being an unknown little character to becoming a popular TV star, and he is inseparable from TVB.

However, the continuous work over the past few years left him with no time to rest. He was too tired and wanted to take a break, but was rejected by the company.

In a rage, Chow Yun-fat simply stopped talking to TVB about renewing his contract and even went into hiding.

Wireless executives were furious because of this and simply banned him, thinking that as long as they banned Chow Yun-fat for a while, he would succumb.

But I didn't expect that the other party would be so stubborn. Now Chow Yun-fat's contract is about to expire. If the situation continues like this, it will definitely be a big loss for TVB.

So Zeng Lizhen had to partially modify the contract she had previously provided to Chow Yun-fat, hoping to get him to sign this contract extension.

"Afa, I know you had some misunderstandings about the company before, but the new contract has been significantly modified. I know you are very interested in movies, and the company will try its best to help you create conditions in this regard."

Chow Yun-fat doesn't want to make a TV series, and Tsang Lizhen knows this.

But at the moment, those niche players have not really grown up. If Chow Yun-fat can stay for a few years and let Andy Lau and Huang Rihua take over smoothly, it will certainly be a good thing for TVB.

"Ms. Zeng, my attitude on contract renewal is very clear, so you don't need to say any more."

Since Chow Yun-fat has decided to leave TVB, he will naturally not give up halfway.

Anyway, after procrastinating for so many days, it is impossible to switch back to wireless after reaching the end. Wouldn’t it be a waste of effort?

After hearing what Chow Yun-fat said, Zeng Lizhen had no choice but to keep the renewed contract.

But the strange thing is that judging from the expression on Zeng Lizhen's face, she does not seem to feel discouraged or unhappy because of this.

"Afa, let's keep it a secret so that we can meet again in the future. It won't do you any good to have a falling out with Wireless. I hope you go back and think about it carefully, otherwise you will regret it later."

Chow Yun-fat did not realize that there was actually something in Tsang Lizhen's words.

He has firmly decided to leave TVB and plans to concentrate on developing in the film industry after leaving.

"Thank you, Miss Zeng. I won't consider this matter anymore, so I won't disturb your work."

After Chow Yun-fat finished speaking, he stood up and left Zeng Lizhen's office.

After the door closed, Zeng Lizhen smiled disdainfully.

"It's a pity that you are still so naive at the age of thirty."

Zeng Lizhen shook her head and continued to work.

The reason why she was so calm was because Chow Yun-fat didn't think about it at all. He thought everything would be fine if he left TVB, but he obviously didn't take Xiangjiang Cinemas into consideration.

You must know that in addition to wireless, Uncle Liu also controls Xiangjiang Cinemas.

If Chow Yun-fat had a falling out with TVB and left, it would be almost impossible for him to develop in the film industry.

As long as Xiangjiang Cinemas releases news that Chow Yun-fat will be banned, I believe no one will dare to make a movie with him.

…………

"Afa, have you really thought about it clearly?"

After leaving TVB, Chow Yun-fat invited his old classmate Lin Lingdong out for tea.

After listening to what the other party said, Lin Lingdong was not happy for Chow Yun-fat's decision. Instead, he showed a very worried expression.

"I've been at TVB for so long, and I think it's enough. I think it's good to change my career path and continue to develop."

Chow Yun-fat seems to be very relaxed. After all, he is about to become a free agent and leave TVB, so he no longer has to live a continuous job every day.

But compared to Chow Yun-fat's relaxation, Lam Lingdong couldn't feel happy for him.

"If you don't reconcile with TVB, I'm afraid no one will dare to film with you in the future."

Lam Lingdong's words made Chow Yun-fat very dissatisfied.

Chow Yun-fat is very optimistic about his future, which seems to be surprisingly consistent with his behavior.

"You are too unfounded to worry. Although Wireless and I don't get together easily, we are not at the point where we need to reconcile. Uncle Six will not issue a banning order on a little person like me."

Lin Lingdong shook his head as he listened. He felt that Chow Yun-fat took it a little too much for granted. This was not an ordinary thing, and it was related to his future future.

But no matter what Lin Lingdong tried to persuade, Chow Yun-fat still insisted on his own opinion, and in the end he could only end without any cure.

Not long after, something unexpected happened to Chow Yun-fat.

After it was confirmed that Chow Yun-fat would not renew his contract, Fong Yihua also gave him a big gift.

Although there is no official announcement, film companies in the film industry have more or less got the news.

Whoever asks Chow Yun-fat to film a movie in the future must be prepared that it will not be released in Hong Kong cinemas.

Soon more and more gossip spread frequently, and it even appeared on the covers of some newspapers and magazines.

Some magazines even used "TVB Xiaosheng was completely banned, and his acting career came to an end" as the title.

And when the news spread wider and wider, Lin Lingdong's worries finally came true.

Directors who had previously been interested in collaborating with Chow Yun-fat seemed to have suddenly disappeared.

Even those producers who had contact with him before now regard Chow Yun-fat as the god of plague and avoid them one after another.

In his previous life, Chow Yun-fat had made several movies, but the box office was getting worse and worse, so he was called "Poison Fat".

But now even this process has been omitted, and no one dares to confront Xiangjiang Cinema to find Chow Yun-fat to film.

This situation was something Chow Yun-fat never expected.

When Chow Yun-fat recalled what Tsang Lizhen said to him at that time, he finally understood what the other party meant.

Some people have even begun to persuade Chow Yun-fat to quickly go back and bow to TVB and renew his contract with the other party.

But Chow Yun-fat is obviously unwilling to do this. He has even planned to switch to other jobs if it doesn't work out. Anyway, it is absolutely impossible for him to renew his contract with TVB.
