Rebirth of Xiangjiang - 1978

At this time, the media in the Hong Kong film and television industry focused almost every day on the audition activities of "The Green Hornet".

At the same time, on the other side, Dongshi's first artist training class has also begun the re-examination work.

Before the five hundred lucky people who passed the preliminary examination had time to rejoice, four hundred people were eliminated in one breath.

Zeng Lizhen's favorites, Luo Jialiang, Liming, and Chen Tingwei, all successfully entered the final interview.

Zeng Lizhen, who had originally questioned whether they should be admitted without taking the exam, suddenly stopped and did not continue to talk to Huang Xizhao about the matter.

But this did not mean that Zeng Lizhen suddenly calmed down. She summoned all the management of the artist department to the conference room and held a meeting.

The theme of this meeting is to correct discipline within the company.

"I have discovered that there have been a lot of rumors circulating in the company recently. I believe that everyone sitting here has heard it more or less."

Zeng Lizhen looked at the management around her with a serious expression.

The rumors spoken by Zeng Lizhen were considered by everyone to be rumors of disagreement between her and Huang Xizhao.

Although I don’t know if it’s true or not, just as Zeng Lizhen said, all of them have heard a lot of gossip in the company.

"For this reason, I have decided to start formal rectification activities within the jurisdiction of the Artists Department from now on. The purpose is to get everyone to focus on their work."

What Zeng Lizhen said was very confusing. What exactly was going on in correcting moral integrity? Apart from Zeng Lizhen, no one at the scene knew what she wanted to do.

However, Zeng Lizhen is the artist manager. In addition to Lin Daoqiu and Huang Xizhao, even Tu Yongxiong, the director of the production department at Dongshi, has the same status as her.

Since she said she wanted to do it within the scope of the Artists Department, Huang Xizhao probably couldn't say anything. After all, Zeng Lizhen was the manager of the Artists Department, and she was usually the biggest here.

Zeng Lizhen said that she wanted to correct the moral integrity, so everyone could only follow her instructions.

Although the purpose was to curb rumors and correct moral conduct within the company, as soon as the news spread, everyone in Dongshi was in a state of panic.

The artists at TVB were the most touched because they had a deep impression of Zeng Lizhen and knew that she was the kind of person who meant what she said.

Originally, ATV's artists didn't have much interest in what Zeng Lizhen said about correcting moral integrity. They all felt that Zeng Lizhen would not dare to touch them.

The reason why she created this thing was probably just to increase her presence, so none of the former ATV artists took it seriously.

But on the second day of correcting moral conduct, something unexpected happened.

Xu Erniu is Xu Xiaoming's elder brother. He usually works as a martial arts instructor at Dongshi and also works as an actor. As his name suggests, he has a bullish temper.

Xu Erniu didn't pay attention to Zeng Lizhen's activities to correct moral integrity at all.

On this day, there was originally a TV series he was starring in at nine o'clock in the morning, but because he got up a little late, it was already half past nine when Xu Erniu arrived at the company, and it was almost ten o'clock by the time he arrived at the studio.

.

Usually, Xu Erniu is almost never late. He drank too much last night, so he got up a little late today.

Initially, no one thought there was any problem, and the crew planned to continue filming as normal.

But before filming started, the director of the talent department suddenly came to the crew.

"Brother Huo Niu, may I ask if you are late today?"

The other party said this in front of Xu Erniu as soon as he came up. Xu Erniu looked at the other party with an unhappy face.

But he knew that he was indeed late and it was not easy for him to have an attack.

So Xu Erniu nodded and said.

"Yes, I drank a little too much last night so I got up late. It's okay. It won't happen next time."

After Xu Erniu finished speaking, he planned to put on makeup and change into costumes.

But at this moment, the supervisor suddenly spoke.

"Brother Huo Niu, the company stipulates that anyone who is late for no reason will have five days of salary deducted, and your name must be written on a board set up in the company lobby as a warning."

The salary deduction is not a problem for Xu Erniu. Five days' salary is actually not much, so he doesn't particularly care.

But if he wants to write his name on the door, he will lose face.

You must know that Xu Erniu is a very face-conscious person, so doing this is tantamount to embarrassing him.

"I told you that I know, and you can deduct your salary if you want, but I don't accept my name being written on it."

Xu Erniu opened his eyes wide and walked forward angrily.

The supervisor looked completely motionless. He just stood there and looked at Xu Erniu expressionlessly.

The directors and actors on the side came over to break up the fight. They were really worried that Xu Erniu would suddenly beat up the supervisor if he disagreed.

"I believe Brother Huo Niu should also know that the company is launching a campaign to correct moral integrity. This is a decision made by Manager Zeng. The purpose is to hope that everyone can abide by the company's rules and regulations."

It's useless to reason with Xu Erniu, because nothing like this has ever happened before, either in Li's or ATV.

Even if someone is late, everyone will turn a blind eye, and at most their salary will be deducted. I have never seen someone put their name in the lobby of the company for others to appreciate. This is simply too humiliating.

"I don't care who made the decision. I can accept the salary deduction, but my name is never allowed to be written on it. If you dare to do this, I will smash the board."

Xu Erniu also lost his temper and immediately dropped his words. If anyone dared to write his name, he would smash the board.

Just when Xu Erniu and the supervisor were having a heated argument, Zeng Lizhen suddenly came to the scene with her assistant.

When she arrived, Xu Erniu just said that he wanted to smash the board.

"Smash it. As long as you smash a piece, I will write, and I will write again. But I have to remind you that you will be responsible for paying for the board. If your salary is deducted, it will continue to be deducted."

When Xu Erniu saw Zeng Lizhen, she turned her head and didn't even want to look at her.

"Brother Huo Niu has a lot of experience in the company. I believe you should know the words "lead by example". The company's previous system was not standardized enough, so I will correct the rules. If Brother Huo Niu has any opinions, you can come to me.

Or the general manager, or even Mr. Lin complains, it doesn’t matter to me.”

After Zeng Lizhen finished speaking, she left the scene with her assistant.

Originally, everyone thought that Zeng Lizhen's campaign to correct moral integrity would target celebrities who had little background in the company or were not popular.

But I didn't expect to meet Xu Erniu, a tough character as soon as I started.

You must know that his younger brother is the company's producer, and is also Xu Xiaoming, who Huang Xizhao regards as his confidant.

If Xu Erniu's name is really hung in the hall this time, then not only Xu Erniu will lose face, but Xu Xiaoming will also lose face.
