"God of Gamblers" was a big hit in Hong Kong, and Shao Yifu was also released in Nanyang after the painting of "God of Gamblers", and the box office in Southeast Asia had already come out according to the time. Shao Yifu called him yesterday and made an appointment to say that he had something to discuss.

came to Shao Yifu's office, not only Shao Yifu was there, Fang Yihua also had Wang Tianlin.

"What's the good thing about Uncle Sixth today, could it be that "God of Gamblers" has been released to a new country and sold well?" After greeting everyone with a smile, Xu Ziming sat on the sofa and asked.

"Where is there something good. Shao Yifu shook his head and said, "It's a bad thing."

"Bad thing? Now that the Hong Kong box office record is Shaw Brothers', and "God of Gamblers" is a hit in Japan, what bad things can Shaw Brothers have. Xu Ziming thought Shao Yifu was joking.

"Ziming, Mr. Shao is serious, not joking. Fang Yihua said with an unhappy face.

Shao Yifu waved his hand at Fang Yihua, then looked at Xu Ziming and said, "Ziming hasn't paid attention to the movements of the New Art City recently?"

"Well, no. What's wrong?" Xu Ziming shook his head and asked.

"The best partner of Xinyi City showed its magic in Taiwan, and it was released in Japan, and it was a big hit at the box office. Shao Yifu said with a solemn expression.

"Oh. After hearing the news, Xu Ziming responded lightly, and then, there was no more.

Such a calm reaction made Shao Yifu, Fang Yihua, and Wang Tianlin, who had been staring at him, all have a feeling of being flashed.

"Why isn't Ziming in a hurry?" Fang Yihua asked a little speechlessly.

"No, I don't. Xu Ziming replied casually, thinking in his heart, what does the big sale of the new art city movie have to do with me, and it won't give me a penny, or ask me for a penny, why should I be urgent, the new art city has no entanglement with Xu Ziming, and it doesn't matter whether he is dead or alive.

Shao Yifu felt that telling Xu Ziming about this matter was a bit of a cow playing the piano, but he had to say it, so he resisted the urge to roll his eyes and said patiently: "Ziming, the new art city is now a great threat to Golden Harvest and the Shaw Brothers, since the establishment of their company, there is no film that is a failure, the box office results are better than the other, with the good results of the new art city, the Golden Princess Cinema behind it has also developed greatly, snatching a large number of markets from Golden Harvest and Shaw Brothers, and it is now a three-legged existence with Golden Harvest and Shaw Brothers. ”

"Well, that's true. Xu Ziming nodded and said, when Xu Ziming's Mingjia Film Company did not make a big name, the Hong Kong film industry was these three competing for hegemony.

Seeing that Xu Ziming was still not salty or light, Fang Yihua hurriedly interjected: "We also understand the truth of ten years of Hedong and ten years of Hexi, but why let Xinyicheng seize the Hong Kong market?"

"Yes, now they are not only in Hong Kong, but also in the Waifu market has been opened by them, it is foreseeable that in the future in the Waifu market they will also form the most direct and fierce competition with us, every year in Hong Kong, whether it is the Waifu market, the market share is limited. Ziming: If you want to open up a situation in the film industry, it is very difficult. Shao Yifu continued Fang Yihua's words and said.

"So, how to deal with it?" Xu Ziming asked with a smile, after Mingjia Film Company was handed over to Wang Jin for management, he rarely thought about these things.

"Of course, we made better films and built their momentum. Fang Yihua said loudly.

How easy it is to make a better film, Xu Ziming thought about it. Huang Baiming is one of Xu Ziming's most admired screenwriters in Xinyicheng, his talent is really rare, he has given him some of the masterpieces of Xinyicheng in later generations, with Huang Baiming's ability, Xinyicheng is as dazzling as a star.

When he handed over his unfinished products to Huang Baiming, Xu Ziming had long expected how fierce the film industry would be in the future, and he did not regret his approach. From Fang Yihua's tone, Xu Ziming was obviously aware of Fang Yihua's intentions.

"Sixth uncle, if you want a script, you can just talk to Ah Jin face-to-face. Xu Ziming said lukewarmly.

Shao Yifu was a little surprised, and immediately asked curiously: "Ziming, you don't have a good script on hand?"

Xu Zi said directly: "I don't have a script on hand. Then he added: "I can't devote time to writing any scripts like I used to, I have already written what I should have written, and I can't squeeze out any new tricks." ”

Wang Tianlin has not been silent among the three, Xu Ziming and his son Wang Jin can be described as people in the same boat, he is definitely not good at interfering but talkative, hearing that Xu Ziming does not write scripts, he also knows that Xu Ziming has some Jiang Lang talents, after all, he is only a person in his twenties, how can his life experience be compared with those famous screenwriters.

Fang Yihua coughed, it seemed that today's idea was to rush into the air, but he turned his head and thought that Xu Ziming's Mingjia Company and Shaw Brothers were in a cooperative relationship, and the two thought that they were in common, and Xu Ziming had to think about his own film company even if he didn't think about Shaw Brothers.

Shao Yifu felt so little lost in his heart, beckoned, and let the group go out, his heart was a little difficult to calm down.

When Xu Ziming went out, at the turn on the first floor, he happened to bump into Huang Zhan, who had not met for a long time.

After the two of them asked a few warm words, Xu Ziming said, "Uncle Zhan, what are you doing here?"

Huang Zhan has been living a more chic life recently, and many advertisements of the Mingjia Film Company established by Xu Ziming have been handed over to his advertising company to take care of, and the business is very prosperous.

The yellow dip beer belly is obvious, even if the suit is deliberately covered, it can't stop others from detecting. Paired with a pair of square-rimmed glasses, this familiarity reminded Xu Ziming of a teacher he used to have when he was in college.

Huang Zhan explained with a smile: "The Hong Kong Rookie Singing Contest jointly organized by TVB and Huaxing Records will start in a few days. Mr. Shao asked me to be a judge, and I am here to learn from Mr. Shao. ”

Xu Ziming's mind was blank, he didn't even know that there was this activity.

For a traverser, there are indeed many things that Xu Ziming doesn't know at all.

"Rookie Singing Contest" is the predecessor of "TVB8 Global Chinese Rookie Singing Contest", which only accepted registration from locals at that time, and was a singing competition cooperated by Hong Kong Wireless and Huaxing.

The Rookie Singing Contest was officially opened in 1981, and now it is 1982, and it will be the final of the first Rookie Singing Contest.

Xu Ziming shook his cerebellum and said, "Then don't bother Uncle Zhan." Musically, I'm a tabula rasa. Xu Ziming is too humble to say this, after all, he has also learned a lot of music in his life, but he is not good at it.

Huang Zhan said regretfully: "When I first met you, you said that you wanted to learn to write music with me, but I never helped. ”

Xu Ziming shook his head and said, "Uncle Zhan, I have helped a lot." Although Huang Zhan really didn't make much effort in writing music, he made a lot of effort when he cooperated with Pan Disheng in the watch company, but unfortunately Xu Ziming has withdrawn from Pan Disheng's flute clock.

Huang Zhan nodded in understanding, didn't say anything, then rearranged his clothes and walked down the stairs. At this time, a female assistant holding a document passed by Huang Zhan's side, and hurriedly called out to Xu Ziming, who had already taken steps and was about to go out.

"Something?" Xu Ziming turned around.

The female assistant nodded solemnly and said, "Mr. Xu, Mr. Shao still has some things to explain to you." ”

Coming directly to Shao Yifu's office, Xu Ziming was not curious at all that Huang Zhan was also on the sofa, and it was strange what Shao Yifu had recruited him for.

Shao Yifu preemptively said: "The final of the rookie singing contest will be held soon, Ziming, you are one of the shareholders of wireless, and it stands to reason that you have the responsibility to attend this final." ”

It stands to reason that Xu Ziming feels that it doesn't necessarily need it.

"Sixth uncle, according to what you said, I can also choose not to go to this stock?"

Shao Yifu smiled and said, "I respect your decision, but I will definitely vacate a seat for you in the judge's seat." ”

Xu Ziming was a little surprised when he heard it, not to mention the blinded Huang Zhan, when did Xu Ziming become a wireless shareholder, he had never heard of this matter. And what exactly does the idea of Shaw Yifu mean.

Xu Ziming was not polite, directly in front of the two of them, picked up a disposable water cup on the table, poured the water to the full, took it in his hand, sat down on the sofa in the back, and asked, "Uncle Six's plan definitely has other plans." ”

Shao Yifu did not intend to hide it, explaining: "Now Mingjia Film Company and Shaw Brothers are in a cooperative relationship. Although Mingjia's movie is not as famous as Shaw Brothers, I admit that the script is not as good as Mingjia. "Mingjia's recent preparation for filming "The True Color of Heroes" is being filmed, and Shao Yifu, with his unique connections, has long understood the general content of this script, which also depends entirely on the advantages of the cooperation between Shaw Brothers and Mingjia.

"I hope that the winners of the Rookie Singing Contest can participate in Mingjia Film Company's movies as much as possible and accumulate a lot of popularity. I really hope that you can attend the singing competition, I know that you have a good eye for picking people, so you can see at a glance which artists are good when you go to be a judge yourself. ”

"It's still the sixth uncle who is thoughtful, according to what the sixth uncle said, it's a little annoying to me, but this is a little too sudden, I should think about it. ”

It's not that Xu Ziming is modest, it's completely that Shao Yifu's words are a bit exaggerated, how can he Xu Ziming get such a high evaluation.

"It's okay, no matter what the outcome is, the Rookie Singing Contest will definitely make a place for you to be a judge. Shao Yifu is not in a hurry, Xu Ziming is not skilled enough in terms of human feelings, and he understands this very thoroughly.

After Xu Ziming left, Huang Zhan asked strangely, "Mr. Shao, will Ah Ming really go?"

Shao Yifu said: "I believe he will go." ”
