Chapter 47: Celebrity Interviews
The most important thing is that Mo Xuan is only interested in setting up a film company, so that he can soak in the female stars in the entertainment industry, and he doesn't have much energy to spend on movies. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info
Mo Xuanke has never regarded making movies as his main business, and he has never seen the entertainment industry for so many years, and only Shao Yifu has won the knighthood awarded by the United Kingdom, which is because Shao Yifu was born in a wealthy family and controls the largest TV station in Hong Kong, TVB.
Zou Huaiwen has been in the film industry all his life, and even founded Golden Harvest Pictures, a giant in the film industry in Xiangjiang, but what is it in the eyes of Li Jiacheng, Bao Yugang, and Huo Yingdong, the real richest people in Xiangjiang.
Mo Xuan didn't want to be reborn with great difficulty, but he spent his life in the film and television industry, and his future should be a sea of stars.
Mo Xuan in his previous life read a novel, which mentioned that the dream of a man in the 80s in Xiangjiang was to be Li Jiacheng and sleep with Li Jiaxin. Now Mo Xuan feels that this sentence should be rewritten, and it should be changed to be Mo Xuan and sleep Li Jiaxin.
So at this time, it is necessary to give up these small interests and let Zongheng Pictures survive and develop for a period of time for the time being, and when he has a certain strength, he is afraid that he will not have his own theater.
"Well, I can promise you. Shao Yifu thought for a long time and decided to agree to Mo Xuan's conditions.
On the one hand, considering that Shaw Brothers has not made a profit in recent years, but has been in a state of loss, he has reduced the production of Shaw Brothers year by year, and sometimes he also takes old films to screen.
On the other hand, Shao Yifu also wants to see if the movie will make money after co-producing it with Mo Xuan, and see if Mo Xuan's box office success this time is a fluke, or whether he has the strength and whether he can take on a big responsibility.
Yes, with the long-term loss of Shaw Brothers Cinemas, coupled with the unprecedented development of the Hong Kong TV industry, the ratings of TVB have been rising, so that Shaw has no time to take care of Shaw Brothers.
Fang Yihua often persuaded him to end Shaw Brothers by his side and shift his focus to TVB, so Shao Yifu also had the idea of letting Shaw Brothers Pictures close down and lease the theater.
It's just that Shao Yifu has always had his own feelings for Shaw Brothers Cinemas, and he doesn't want it to decline completely, after all, that is where he made his fortune, so he has always wanted to find a suitable talent to take over Shaw Brothers Cinemas.
Because of this, two years later, Shao Yifu would lease Shaw Brothers Cinemas to Pan Disheng of Debao Pictures, but now the appearance of Mo Xuan made Shao Yifu make a choice in advance.
As for why it wasn't a sale of the theater chain, Shao Yifu is a smart businessman, otherwise he would not have achieved such a big career today.
Since the failure of British Prime Minister Mrs. Sancher's visit to China, the people of Xiangjiang have been full of confusion about the future of Xiangjiang, and many talents have rushed to emigrate.
All walks of life in Xiangjiang have fallen into a downturn, and the real estate industry is even more so, housing prices continue to fall, if the cinema is sold at this time, it is really a loss-making transaction, and in Shao Yifu's view, the real estate industry in Xiangjiang will rise back sooner or later.
So he only plans to lease the theater, not sell it, his relationship with Mo Xuan is a relationship, and the business is a business.
"Thank you, Uncle Six. Mo Xuan was also relieved when he heard Shao Yifu's promise. This means that in the short term, he doesn't have to worry about the release of films in Zongheng Pictures, and he can first take out some of his energy from here to develop other aspects.
"Don't let me down, you kid. Shao Yifu looked at Mo Xuan and scolded with a smile. His words are a pun, not only the film co-produced by Shaw Brothers and Zongheng Pictures, but also Mo Xuan's performance not to disappoint him.
"Sixth uncle, believe me, no problem. Mo Xuan said confidently. He still has enough confidence in this, if he has the memories of decades in his mind and makes movies and hits the streets, then he will be in vain.
"Not bad, not bad. Shao Yifu looked at Mo Xuan at this time and felt that he was very similar to himself decades ago, the same self-confidence, the same outstanding ability, in Mo Xuan, Shao Yifu seemed to see himself back then.
"Then I don't know if Uncle Sixth is still fine, if it's okay, I won't bother you. Mo Xuan said goodbye after seeing that the movie was released, and he also knew that Shao Yifu was busy with official business all day, if it weren't for his close relationship with Shao Yifu, how could ordinary people talk to Shao Yifu for so long.
"When you say that, there's really something for you. Shao Yifu was about to let Mo Xuan leave when he suddenly remembered something.
"Sixth uncle, if you say something, I will never shirk what I can do. Mo Xuan smiled bitterly in his heart, he just said casually, he didn't expect Shao Yifu to really have something to do with him, he still had important things to do.
"That's right, we have a talk show on TVB that invites some celebrities to be guests. Yihua wants to invite you to this show, see if you are free. Shao Yifu said slowly.
It turned out that since 1982, Qiu De, chairman of the Far Eastern Group, invested 100 million Hong Kong dollars into Li's ownership and changed its name to Asia Television Station, and made a large investment, which made ATV develop rapidly and had a great impact on TVB.
Last year, ATV not only invested heavily in the filming of two well-made TV series, "Hero Huo Yuanjia" and "Ma Yongzhen", but also spent a lot of money to poach people from TVB.
Shao Yifu was already stingy, many employees of wireless have long been dissatisfied, and ATV's salary has doubled or even tripled, which has led to the loss of many talents in TVB, which has made the quality of TVB's TV dramas that has already cost shooting even worse.
If it weren't for the TV series adapted from Mo Xuan's "Xun Qin" and the TV series adapted from several novels by Jin Yong to support the scene here, TVB, the "first station in Xiangjiang", would probably have changed hands long ago.
Even so, the current TVB TV station is no longer the dominant situation in the past, the ratings of the two TV stations are relatively stale, and even the ratings of Asia TV occasionally exceed that of TVB, which was unimaginable before.
So in order to attract more viewers, the two TV stations have come up with a lot of methods. Shaw Brothers started a new show called "Celebrity Interviews" in the hope of using the aura of those big stars to attract their fans to watch and increase ratings.
Many big stars and directors of Shaw Brothers and TVB have been interviewed by the program "Celebrity Interview", such as Zhou Yunfa, Zhao Yazhi, Zhong Chuhong have all been there, and even Lin Qingxia, who is known as the first beauty in Southeast Asia, has been invited to "Celebrity Interview".
The reason why Shao Yifu wanted to invite Mo Xuan to "Celebrity Interview" was also to follow the advice of his confidante Fang Yihua.
