Rebirth of Xiangjiang Hidden Behind the Scenes

Chapter 117 Teddy Robin

Three days later, Su Cheng still made an appointment with Teddy Robin at the teahouse where Zou Wenhuai often went.

Different from what later generations know, in the past few days, he has asked several newspapers under his command to compile detailed information about this geek. Different from the few words in Li Xiaotian's words, apart from the establishment of a band in the 1960s, that so-called

His more than 20 albums were released in just about 5 years, establishing him as the number one contemporary rock artist in Hong Kong. The Playboy Band, with him as the lead singer, also became the number one band.

However, as more and more bands joined in, and the rock market became more popular, Teddy Robin gradually became unpopular with the times. Teddy Robin quickly quit and began to develop into the film industry. Due to his insufficient acting skills and lack of knowledge about the inside story of movies,

After studying in many places such as Hollywood, he finally returned to Hong Kong in the late 1970s and established his own film company.

However, not long after that company started, it was shocked by the sudden rise of Tengyue Entertainment, and it was merged into New Art City when it was first established.

In addition, Teresa Teng, the internationally famous singer from Bay Island, is also a loyal fan of Teddy Robin, which shows how extraordinary this great talent has been.

"Mr. Guan!"

"Boss Su!"

Teddy Robin's original name is Guan Weipeng. Nowadays not many people are called him that way. Most people call him Robin.

After greeting him, Su Cheng felt quite emotional when he looked at the prodigy who was only about 1.5 meters tall. There was a record in the document that he was seriously ill when he was a child. Although he was cured, he was delayed for 3 years.

Time will lead to serious sequelae, otherwise, he will be a handsome "handsome man".

"I wonder if Boss Su is looking for me?" Robin asked doubtfully.

Su Cheng put away the emotion in his heart and said frankly: "I would like to invite Mr. Guan to be the English song manager and record producer of our Tengyue Entertainment Company's Hollywood branch."

"Boss Su, please call me Robin! Mr. Guan is not used to it." After a moment of silence, Robin said: "Boss Su is very sincere, but at present, I personally still want to achieve success in movies, so...

…”

Interrupting him, Su Cheng said: "You must have misunderstood me. I did not say that you should give up being an actor or even a director. As long as you have a good script or idea, as long as it can be approved, we will

Tengyue Entertainment will invest and support you. You can also choose the artists under it. Of course, if the other party is not willing to take the show, then that is a different matter."

"Boss Su, are you planning to poach me?" Robin was not hit by Su Cheng's sugar-coated bullets, but smiled with a clear mind.

"Isn't it possible? Not only our company will poach those who are talented and capable, but other companies will too. It's just that I take the first step." Su Cheng admitted truthfully.

Robin was stunned for a moment by these words, and then a faint ripple appeared in his heart. After all, he has no shortage of musical talent, but when it comes to the film industry, he is not a person who has made great achievements. To be able to have such an evaluation is no longer a problem.

It’s considered low. Not to mention the so-called “freedom and autonomy”.

At first, he thought Su Cheng just wanted to sign his "record producer contract", but now it seems that even the "artist contract" has to be packed up and taken away.

Su Cheng invited him like this because he didn't know Robin's achievements in the film career before. From the information, he knew that this person served as one of the screenwriters of the movie "The Soldiers" that was released not long ago.

, and even the producer.

You know, it was produced by Tai Rong Film Company. Without certain attainments, the position of producer is impossible.

It seems that I still underestimated this person before!

Since he is an all-rounder, he needs to be poached even more. Why did Maijia and the others not reuse him at all?

"Thank you, Boss Su, for your kindness. I can't bear it at the moment." After thinking about it, Robin declined.

Knowing that he would have this attitude, Su Cheng was not in a hurry. While refilling the other party's cup of hot tea, he said with a gentle smile: "You can think about this slowly. When you feel it is appropriate, we Tengyue Entertainment Company

The door will be open to you. However, it is best not to wait until a year later. After all, you also know that it is difficult for our company to gain a foothold in Hollywood, which naturally attracts the prying eyes of many people. For this reason, our music

The department must be established as soon as possible. Of course, if it is left to you, the office can be located at the Xiangjiang headquarters. Just wait until there is a song or there is an event, and go there. In addition, once you come to our Tengyue Entertainment,

Not only can we participate in local films in Hong Kong, but we can also participate in Hollywood blockbusters. At least within this year, our company will have four to five films released. You can look at the momentum before making a decision."

Hearing these gentle words, Robin's heart moved slightly.

Outsiders may not know that the current Xinyi City is not harmonious. Last year, in order to seize the market and give Boss Lei an explanation, everyone cheered together, which made the internal atmosphere very good. But after the Chinese New Year, when "Back to the Future"

"The news spread that it was a hit at the box office in North America, and everyone was vying for the script and investment with red faces.

The same goes for Mai Jia, Shi Tian, ​​and Huang Baiming, who they think have the best connections. Why? When investing in a script, how much is the budget, how much is the director's salary and dividends, how much is the screenwriter's salary, and how much is the actor's salary, all need to be negotiated.

It's okay if the box office is average, but if it becomes a big hit and the benefits are unevenly distributed, it's weird that you feel happy!

After all, in addition to Shi Tian, ​​Huang Baiming and Mai Jia are talented as screenwriters, directors, and producers. They are also candidates to be the protagonists. They have a dispute. Can the rest of them reconcile?

Not to mention that the company's shareholdings are quite different, so there is no contradiction. It's just that the company's profits are too small, so it's not cost-effective.

What will happen next is unknown!

Robin didn't want to argue about such matters and often ignored them.

As time goes by, it’s inevitable that you’ll want to leave.

Coincidentally, the current Tengyue Entertainment Company gave him a choice.

"Thank you, Boss Su, for your appreciation!"

"You're welcome, you're welcome, come, drink tea, drink tea!"

Although he didn't get the result he wanted, he didn't reject it completely. Su Cheng smiled slightly and continued to stay with Teddy Robin for a while.

When they said goodbye to each other, Su Cheng patted Robin on the shoulder and said kindly: "I hope you don't think about it for too long. It would be great if we could go together next time we go to Hollywood."

After pausing for a moment, Robin said solemnly: "With what Boss Su said, it must be that time will go very quickly."

"Then I'm looking forward to your arrival!" Hearing this, Su Cheng laughed.

"Thank you! Farewell!"

Staring at Robin's retreating back for a long time, Su Cheng thought to himself: "Since you are interested, you can't escape the fate of coming to our Tengyue Entertainment. Maybe the Hollywood branch will have another great talent."
