Chapter 81: Uncle Shao's abacus

Radio TV station of the broadcasting channel.

Since the 80s, Shaw has been the top shareholder of TVB, and TVB has become his second place of residence after Shaw Brothers.

In the office, Fang Yihua's face showed some dissatisfaction, but she didn't send it to Shao Yifu, and she didn't dare, it was the poor little fat man Wang Jin who suffered her anger.

Wang Jin is Wang Tianlin's son, Wang Tianlin is wireless, or Shao Yifu's right-hand man, it stands to reason that the son inherits his father's business, and Wang Jin's creative ability to the script is not bad. The reason why the filmed "A Thousand Kings Fight a Thousand Tyrants" was able to achieve good box office results was actually a big reason because Shaw Brothers increased the number of films in theaters at the beginning.

Wang Jin will become a hot bait in Hong Kong with this movie at that time, but he must also pay attention to repaying his kindness, and when he is developed, he will forget the old master Shaw Brothers, and instead go to the door of the new art city, Fang Yihua has never been able to swallow this breath, so naturally he will not give Wang Jin any good look.

Shao Yifu is used to it, after all, there are talents in the country, and it is difficult for the current Hong Kong film industry to be dominant, and more of them are blooming together.

In Hong Kong in the 60s, there were two giants in the film industry, in addition to Shaw Yifu's Shaw Brothers, the other was "Dianmao".

Speaking of the 60s, I have to mention the very famous Li Hanxiang at that time, Li Hanxiang was one of the four directors of Shaw Brothers at the beginning, and made a lot of masterpieces for Shaw Brothers. However, with the help of Lu Yuntao, the boss of "Dianmao", he left Shaw Brothers, and with the help of "Dianmao", Shaw's default fee of 300,000 Hong Kong dollars was naturally a piece of cake.

After successfully breaking away from Shaw Brothers, Li Hanxiang established his own "Guolian Film Company" in Taiwan, and he took more than 20 directors and technicians from Shaw Brothers, which greatly affected the development of Shaw Brothers and Shaw Brothers.

However, with the 70s, Zou Wenhuai took He Guanchang and several other fierce generals from the Shaw Brothers, and on the basis of "Dianmao", he built his own Golden Harvest Film Company.

Shao Yifu, who was looking for a way to deal with it, re-recruited Li Hanxiang to the Shaw Brothers regardless of his previous suspicions, and this matter became a good story, some people said that Li Hanxiang was able to bend and stretch, and had the style of a general; some people said that Shao Yifu was tolerant and elegant regardless of his previous suspicions.

So recalling the beginning, now Shao Yifu has seen it very thoroughly, and he also let these things develop naturally, but Zou Wenhuai's matter is indeed a thorn in his heart.

Wang Jin came to Shaw Brothers here to find the actor of the knife boy for the movie "God of Gamblers", Liu Dehua. However, what made him a little unhappy was that he hadn't said anything about his purpose today, so he sat on a cold stool, he was a hot face and a cold ass, Fang Yihua looked at him coldly, but he still had to make a smile.

"Ah Jin, you have nothing to do but go to the Three Treasures Palace, you are now from Xinyi City, what is the matter with coming here today" Shao Yifu sat in the boss's chair and asked lightly.

Wang Jin nodded and said affirmatively: "There is something to do", and then hurriedly took out a stack of scripts full of Xu Ziming's engraved big characters from his bag, "I have a script, but there are a few characters to borrow from wireless people." ”

"Why do you want us wireless people?" Shao Yifu didn't wait to ask Wang Jing what script it was, he was very curious.

Fang Yihua couldn't help but say: "Our wireless artists have been a little tight recently. ”

Wang Jin ignored it, but explained directly to Shao Yifu.

"Yes, Sixth Uncle, this script was written by Ah Ming, and he specified that Liu Dehua should play the knife boy, but I can't help it, so I came to borrow someone. Liu Dehua signed a long-term contract with wireless, and it is naturally impossible to be with Zhou Yanfa in terms of filming, Chen Yulian has their own ability to choose, and Wang Jin thought about this before coming to Shaw Brothers to borrow someone.

"Hmm, you're basically using my wireless people in this movie. Shao Yifu saw the approximate candidates from Wang Jin's script, except for Guan Jiahui (Guan Zhilin has not changed her name now, her name was Guan Jiahui before the name change), Zhou Yanfa, and Chen Yulian are all stars of their own companies.

Thinking of this, the corners of Shao Yifu's mouth showed a smile, this script of "God of Gamblers" was written by Xu Ziming, Xu Ziming's original "Best Partner" was able to win 20 million box office results, maybe "God of Gamblers" is another masterpiece. Now the candidate for this script is Da Liang is his own infinity, how to say, Shao Yifu also has the right to speak.

"Sixth uncle, if you look fine, things will be fine on the actor side. Wang Jing peeked at Shao Yifu and said cautiously.

Then Shao Yifu didn't speak, Fang Yihua's abacus in his heart coincided with Shao Yifu's, and said with a smile: "Ah Jin, haven't you thought about co-producing with our Shaw Brothers in this movie?" Fang Yihua also read the script.

Wang Jin's eyes were dazed, and his legs began to go numb.

I came here to borrow actors, maybe after this movie was a big hit, I was able to help wireless become popular with several stars. How could the film of New Art City choose to co-produce with others.

Shao Yifu closed the script, handed it to Wang Jin, who had dull eyes on the side, and said, "My friendship with the Xu family is still quite deep, and Ziming's words should be agreeable." Our Shaw Brothers decided to invest 30%, if you shoot the set, the Clear Water Bay studio can give you "God of Gamblers" for free, and the natural actors are not a problem at all, but in terms of theatrical release, our Shaw Brothers also has the right to release, how about the box office share is the same as your share in the Golden Princess? Shao Yifu knew that Wang Jin couldn't be the master, so he raised this point to let him pass on a message.

If Shaw Brothers can also be like the current New Arts City, a movie that can rank high at the box office, according to Shao Yifu's temperament, it is absolutely impossible to do so.

Wang Jinxin said, of course I know what you said, but will Xinyicheng do this? Stupid people will share the big cake with others for the sake of a few protagonists.

Just when Wang Jin was thinking about how to answer, Shao Yifu added: "You and Ziming talk about it, if there is no problem, the movie "God of Gamblers" can start filming as soon as possible."

Wang Jin hurriedly cleared his throat, sorted out his thoughts, and then said: "Sixth uncle, does the matter of "God of Gamblers" have to be co-produced with Shaw Brothers? Although it is said that this movie will be a big cast, Xinyicheng can still do this. Wang Jin felt very aggrieved, if it weren't for the protagonist in the hands of the Shaw Brothers, he wouldn't have needed to come to this place today.

Shao Yifu thought about it and nodded, and said with a meaningful smile: "If I hadn't read the script written by Ziming, otherwise I wouldn't even have the idea of co-production." You and Ziming just need to explain it clearly."

Seeing that Shao Yifu's words were full of extraneous meanings, Wang Jin sighed: "Okay, Sixth Uncle."

After Wang Jin left, Shao Yifu also began to think about the choice of the protagonist, "Why haven't I heard of this Liu Dehua, is he as famous as Zhou Runfa?"

Fang Yihua shook his head, and then said: "No, it's just that the students of this new training class heard that they auditioned for "Caiyun Song" in Xinyicheng not long ago, but they were not selected. ”

"The offspring is good", Shao Yifu heard Fang Yihua say this, and suddenly became interested in Liu Dehua, who dared to audition when he first entered the training class.

"You said that Xiang Huaqiang played Long Wu, I'm afraid he doesn't want to" Shao Yifu thought of this and groaned, Xinyicheng should not be able to do this, and his own Shao Brothers may not be able to do it.

"There should be no problem with this, as far as I know, Xiang Huaqiang likes acting very much, and this year he also acted in a Taiwanese martial arts film with a strange trick soft snake, and last year's Zama, and the delivery is also a supporting role, which is not as brilliant as this Dragon Five," Fang Yihua said.

"Okay, then that's it, you go and help me call Liu Dehua in", seeing that Fang Yihua was about to go out, Shao Yifu instructed.

"Good"

Wireless Artist Training Class.

Towards the end of the evening, the students had finished their afternoon classes and began to eat in pairs of threes.

"Let's go, let's eat." A beautiful girl patted the young man in front of her in a daze.

Then he turned his head and suddenly asked in surprise: "I heard that you were called in by Miss Fang, did you secretly go to the audition and be reprimanded?" ”

"Huh?" The young man's face was wooden, and he immediately smiled: "No, how can Miss Fang care about such a trivial matter." ”

"Forget it, you and Brother Hui can go. But the young man shook his head and refused, for he now had a great matter in his heart that made him depressed with joy.

"What's the matter, did the failure of "Caiyun Song" hit you so hard" Brother Hui, a slightly older young man said with a smile, he also knew that Liu Dehua's expression was a little abnormal recently, and he felt that it should be caused by the failure of Xinyi City.

The girl who spoke first said: "Andy, look at the eyes you are looking at now, where is the high-spirited appearance when you first entered the training class." ”

"A man stumbles, a horse stumbles. Xinyicheng's provocative eye is very poisonous, otherwise how could it be possible to partner with "Best Partner" and "Chasing Girls", which are masterpieces with a box office of tens of millions. We are just ordinary trainees, how can we compete for roles with other popular movie stars who have debuted for a long time, thank God for having a good trick. A young man who had left late interjected with a sneer, which seemed to make sense, but made people sound mean and cold.

"Dai Zhiwei, shut up if you can't speak, no one treats you as a dumb person. The girl choked.

"What are you talking about, I didn't name names, what I said is axioms, unreasonable", Dai Zhiwei shook his head with a sneer and left, and kept cursing in his mouth: "What kind of thing, I really think I am the protagonist of the thing." ”

"This hit the street. After Dai Zhiwei walked away, the girl cursed hatefully in Cantonese, and then looked at Andy again and said, "Let's go, I invite you to eat at the newly opened tea restaurant." ”

"No, no need, you can go by yourself, I'll go somewhere else to eat." Andy shook his head again and refused. ”

"No, you have to go today, and if you don't go, you have to go." The girl dragged Andy out, muttering as she walked
