Because of the excellent ratings, Dicky Cheung wants to give himself a raise, and he wants 10,000 yuan from several thousand yuan, which is not much. As a result, the management of tvb felt that Dicky Cheung was ungrateful. When the TV series became popular, he made wild speculations and mocked him face to face for giving the Monkey King away for nothing. This also caused Dicky Cheung to shave all his hair in a fit of pique, because he wanted to prove that he could be red without hair.
After Dicky Cheung left, tvb hired Chen Musheng to take photos at a high price, which is really incredible. The key point is that the Monkey King played by Chen Musheng is the shadow of Dicky Cheung, the Monkey King played by Dicky Cheung and Dicky Cheung played by Chen Musheng. This is the gap between them. As expected, this sequel has never won the brilliant ratings of the first one, which was filmed by the TV station itself.
Now Dicky Cheung and tvb laugh and forget the enemy, perhaps because time has diluted the estrangement. They collaborated on Handsome Boy last year. Anyway, Dicky Cheung is famous for tvb. Although some unpleasantness happened during this period, the management has changed several times after so many years. As a very representative actor in the development period of tvb, it is also a great honor for Dicky Cheung to return to the 50th anniversary celebration.
Dicky Cheung's "Handsome Boy" is over. When I first saw Handsome Boy, I was moved beyond words, because I felt that I hadn't seen Dicky Cheung's new play for a long time.
Handsome Boy is the 50th anniversary drama of TVB. Anyone who knows the ropes knows how difficult the play is. Like many Hong Kong actors, Dicky Cheung has been playing a small role for many years. The place where he slowly endures is called TVB, and the place where he is hit is also called TVB. It is said that Dicky Cheung will shoot Handsome Boy, and the Hong Kong media are very excited.
Speaking of Dicky Cheung and TVB, you have to mention the Monkey King.
If the CCTV version of The Journey to the West is the memory of several generations, and A Chinese Odyssey makes people see the charm of nonsense, then the Monkey King starring Dicky Cheung should make people know a more interesting the Monkey King.
There is a funny phenomenon in Dicky Cheung's TV series, that is, he will make many characters have a mantra, but he won't keep boring the audience by repeating it. The Monkey King in Monkey King is a funny monkey, shouting long serial numbers every day.
Unfortunately, in the sequel Monkey King, after Monkey King, all other characters are original works, but the Monkey King was changed from Dicky Cheung to Chen Musheng. Many people are puzzled by Dicky Cheung's absence. Speaking of it, the Monkey King is an important contradiction between Dicky Cheung and TVB.
It has always been said that Dicky Cheung shaved his head angrily because TVB leaders said that you can't make money without sticking your hair. So what was the situation in those days?
In fact, although there are many classic characters of Dicky Cheung in your impression, such as Fang Shiyu, smart and ignorant, and Wei Xiaobao, these are not the roles of TVB. Dicky Cheung worked as a walk-on in TVB for N years, and it was the Monkey King who really made him popular. According to the truth, actors and roles are mutually successful. Why didn't Dicky Cheung play the Monkey King?
Later, when Dicky Cheung was interviewed by a program in Taiwan Province, he talked about the reason why he didn't appear in Monkey King. After filming Monkey King, Dicky Cheung was a smash hit, but his contract with TVB is about to expire. Shooting "the Monkey King Riots in Heaven" will involve the renewal of the contract, otherwise the contract will basically expire in half. At that time, Dicky Cheung was very popular. When TVB sent someone to talk about renewing the contract, he said that it would be good to give it to him according to his salary level for making TV dramas for Taiwan Province at that time. As a result, TVB disagreed. ...
Maybe TVB thinks it has won Dicky Cheung. Why would Dicky Cheung want to improve his treatment? Although Dicky Cheung's request is not a lion's mouth, isn't there a saying that it is an example? Dicky Cheung became a "chicken".
Even after Dicky Cheung's demand dropped again, TVB couldn't wait to announce the substitution. Dicky Cheung has many ideas about the Monkey King. At that time, he even gave up acting in vain, but TVB acted in Water under the Bridge, which was very powerful. After Dicky Cheung's contract expired, Dicky Cheung broke with TVB completely.
However, Dicky Cheung did not collapse because of this. Although Dicky Cheung's version of the Monkey King can't reappear in the Jianghu, he is more popular because he plays a classic role.
For more than 20 years, the rift between Dicky Cheung and TVB has been completely bridged. Until now, with the appearance of this "handsome guy", we have the feeling of meeting each other and laughing.
In fact, TVB is famous for its strength. Few people can stand out in a short time like Tony Leung Chiu Wai, and most people still need to work hard from a small supporting role. For example, Stephen Chow's Song Bingyi is probably the most famous example.
If Dicky Cheung succeeds in renewing his contract, TVB will feel that his face has been challenged. If something similar happens in the future, it may become a case to follow. Therefore, TVB tries its best to remove the role of Dicky Cheung, which is only a means to maintain its authority.
Dicky Cheung's breakthrough in the cold storage and his own world is not a skill.
Now that more than 20 years have passed, the two sides can still shoot a "Big Handsome Boy" calmly. How can it not make people move?
If nothing else, the explosion in The Journey to the West alone made tvb make hundreds of millions of profits. So much money was a huge sum more than ten years ago, and TV stations may not be able to earn so much money in a year. But they don't think this is Dicky Cheung's credit. On the contrary, they asked him to be grateful, because the TV station gave him a chance to get ahead, so Dicky Cheung must obey orders unconditionally and not mention money, otherwise it would be ungrateful.
This is incredible. Dicky Cheung's friendship helped him get an episode of several thousand dollars, which is almost equal to selling half and giving half. Later, the sequel to the TV series was put on the agenda. Dicky Cheung only asked for a few thousand dollars more per episode, but that's not too much. It is estimated that a scene costs hundreds of thousands. However, this small proposal completely angered the top of the TV station. They think that Dicky Cheung is floating, and they start asking exorbitant prices. They would rather fire him and spend a lot of money to replace him than Dicky Cheung "get away with it".
So sometimes things are so funny. Obviously, Dicky Cheung helped from beginning to end, and as a result, he was regarded as a baiwenhang by others, which brought all kinds of slander and criticism. On the other hand, Chen Musheng enjoys it. He not only got a high salary, but also harvested the fruits planted by Dicky Cheung, which was really nourishing. Only the Monkey King, played by Chen Musheng later, has been imitating Dicky Cheung's classics. It tastes really ugly.
Now, through these years' efforts, Dicky Cheung has thoroughly proved that he can be angry without hair (the Monkey King has hair), and he can be so angry that he can punch tvb executives in the face! Dicky Cheung is very competitive. People say that if he can't do it, he must not let himself lose, he must win dignity and glory. I really admire him.
In fact, Dicky Cheung only filmed the first part of "TVB Journey to the West", but did not continue filming the second part for three reasons.
On the one hand, Dicky Cheung version of The Journey to the West set a rating of 44 points in that year, which can be said to dominate the TV series of that year. It was the' 90s. You know, The Journey to the West, shot in Chinese mainland in 1986, was repeatedly played, and it was not surpassed until the remake of "Lost in Hong Kong" was successful ten years later. This drama earned 200 million yuan for TVB, but in the 1990s, the leading actor the Monkey King Dicky Cheung was a great hero, but only 70,000 to 80,000 yuan per episode, equivalent to about 2,600 yuan per episode. Then Dicky Cheung proposed to raise the film pay a little, 10,000 yuan per episode. However, TVB thinks that the Dicky Cheung lion has a big mouth, but disagrees, and the negotiations between the two sides broke down. There are also rumors that at that time, the top officials said that Dicky Cheung "only has hair, and you have value without hair."
On the other hand, TVB was in its heyday in the 1990s, and there are so many actors like yak that you don't lack any. Dicky Cheung wanted a raise, which angered the top management, so the top management directly replaced him and switched to Chen Musheng.
In the third aspect, Dicky Cheung's contract expired at that time, and the top management could not talk about salary. He also found a good leading role, so he had to leave TVB. At the same time, he forced himself to go out and prove himself and prove to everyone that he could leave TVB. So the second part is naturally missed.
At that time, Dicky Cheung's version of The Journey to the West was really hot, even the lines in it were hot. Dicky Cheung really gave a vivid performance, which left a deep impression on the audience, and even many young people imitated Dicky Cheung's signature moves and quotations.
In fact, when it comes to Journey to the West, I'm afraid everyone's first reaction is the six-year-old version. In fact, Journey to the West has been remake in so many versions, and there is also a version of the Monkey King that everyone should be familiar with-the Dicky Cheung version.
The name of this play is actually the Monkey King, the Great Sage of the Monkey King, and the Monkey King played by Dicky Cheung can be said to be the most handsome among many versions. Dicky Cheung's acting skills are obvious to all. He shows his bold and natural characteristics. Later, it was replaced by Chen Musheng, mainly because of wages.
At that time, Dicky Cheung was going to Taiwan Province to shoot another play, and his contract had expired. Therefore, faced with the issue of renewing the contract, when it comes to the compensation for renewing the contract, Dicky Cheung hopes to increase the compensation for the film. I didn't expect the two sides to talk about salary, so Dicky Cheung offended TVB executives, so this matter can only be delayed.
Later, the partner was very embarrassed, and directly found a new actor Chen Musheng to play. What's done is done, and Dicky Cheung has left tvb.
First of all, I personally like the Journey to the West filmed by Dicky Cheung. I think this movie "Monkey King" can be said to be consistent. Dicky Cheung, the actor, played all my feelings very well. Both this temperament and the Monkey King's feeling of being close to the skin, Dicky Cheung performed very well.
