The box office of more than 20 million seems to have been lost for a long time in his impression.

Tracing back to its origins, the Shaw family's entertainment career can be traced back to the "Laughing Stage" founded in 1923.

But the film legend that really belongs to Shaw Yifu began with the "Shaw Brothers Co., Ltd." established in Hong Kong in 1958.

If people talk about the origin of Xiangjiang movies and the glory of Xiangjiang movies, "Shaw Brothers Co., Ltd." is definitely a hurdle that cannot be bypassed.

When it comes to the miracle of Shaw Brothers, it is not only that it has the scale of Shaw Brothers Studios, which can be called the "Hollywood of the East", and there are hundreds of staff in front of and behind the scenes.

What's more, Shao Yifu has a unique operation strategy——

Including the establishment of the "Southern Experimental Theater Troupe", a large number of new talents, the implementation of the "bring in, go out" strategy, and carry out extensive cooperation with Japanese counterparts.

He used advanced technologies such as color widescreen to shoot costume blockbusters, and further promoted his campaign through the establishment of official publications such as "Southern Films" and "Hong Kong Films......

From 1958 to mid-1970, Shaw Brothers dominated the Hong Kong film industry several times, but what kind of achievements did they have?

Needless to say, it has cultivated a large number of superstars in the film industry, and many of the accomplished behind-the-scenes staff, from directors to props, are also born here;

At the same time, genres such as Huangmei Tune and martial arts films have also been carried forward by Shaw Brothers, with "Beauty in the Mountains" and "Yang Guifei" successively becoming the annual box office champions in Hong Kong and Taiwan, and "One-Armed Knife" has become the first "million-dollar blockbuster" in the Hong Kong film industry

In 1973, Shaw Brothers, who had been developing Chinese films, released the Cantonese film "72 Tenants", which broke the historical record at the box office, making the film industry in Hong Kong "Cantonese unique" from then on.

At that time, how brilliant was the Shaw Brothers, proud of the entire Xiangjiang film industry, but now it 。。。。。。。

"Sixth uncle, don't be surprised too early.

What I just said to make you happy is still to come. ”

As soon as he saw Shao Yifu stunned, and the sadness on his face was inadvertently revealed, Mo Xuan suddenly understood-

This old man is "nostalgic for the past and hurting the present" again.

"Oh? yes. ”

Hearing Mo Xuan's words on the other side, Shao Yifu also came back to his senses, let out an "oh", and then continued to bury his head in the pages.

"Ah Xuan, is this really true?"

Slowly, the folds covered the whole face, the old face, full of disbelief, full of joy, and a little "let go".

At this time, this "box office report" document in his hand -

In addition to the detailed box office of the first movie "The Owl and Dumbo" since the opening of the Zongheng Cinema Line, there are also other cinema chains in the same period, their respective box offices.

For example, Golden Harvest Pictures, and New City Pictures.

On the box office-related report handed to him by Mo Xuan, the box office of the movie "The Owl and Dumbo" was as high as more than 28.907 million Hong Kong dollars, which can be said to be a box office hit.

On the other hand, it was the box office fiasco of Golden Harvest Pictures and New City Pictures.

You must know that in order to crack down on Zongheng Pictures and snipe at Zongheng Cinemas, Golden Harvest Pictures and Xinyicheng, two cinemas that have never cooperated.

Even the old enemies who used to compete with each other have temporarily abandoned their old feuds and chose to jointly screen movies, just to strangle the vertical and horizontal cinema chain in the cradle.

But what about the result。。。。。 Looking at the box office figures of more than 10 million Hong Kong dollars, Shao Yifu smiled very happily.

This, but a box office gap of nearly 20 million Hong Kong dollars.

"Hehe, sixth uncle, boy, since I show it to you now, of course it's true.

You must be happy by now. ”

At this time, Shao Yifu's state was really rare for Mo Xuan before, which can also explain the excitement in the hearts of the people opposite.

Speaking of which, the movie "The Owl and Dumbo" has been released in his theaters for so many days.

Moreover, because the Zongheng Cinema Line is based on the original Shaw Brothers Cinema Line, many theaters have been rejoined, and the theaters have been "finely decorated".

The entire theater chain, which can accommodate an audience at one time, is much stronger than before, so the screening cycle of a movie is relatively shorter.

Now, the potential of "The Owl and Dumbo" is about to be exhausted, and it is almost time to draw it.

Of course, some people may ask at this time, since the box office is selling well, why not extend the screening cycle and make more money?

You don't see, in the 21st century in the previous life, a movie that sold well a little bit could get an extended screening cycle.

However, this is really not worth it for Mo Xuan, this for Mo Xuan's vertical and horizontal cinema line.

As a vertical and horizontal cinema chain, it has not lacked high-quality movies released so far, especially the next highlight "God of Gamblers", which is the quality of the bar and the double guarantee of the box office.

In that case, how could it not be willing to make such a small profit?

As far as Mo Xuan is concerned, he is the boss of Zongheng Pictures, the faster a movie can be released, the faster it can be released, the faster it can return funds and shoot other movies.

There's no reason why he shouldn't do this.

You know, no matter how well this "The Owl and Dumbo" sells, it is also a movie produced by Debao Film Company.

He doesn't have the hobby of suffering his own losses and helping others make money.

"Hehe, you kid, you know how to make a joke about Uncle Six. ”

Seeing the ridicule on Mo Xuan's face on the other side, Shao Yifu smiled bitterly in his heart, and he couldn't help but smile bitterly on his face.

It is undeniable that in his heart, he is indeed quite happy.

You must know that since the late 1970s, the Xiangjiang film industry has formed a situation of confrontation between Shaw Brothers and Golden Harvest.

The two major film companies have large-scale studios and distribution theaters respectively, Shaw Brothers' Clear Water Bay Cinema and Golden Harvest's Axe Mountain Road Studio, which are filming every day.

Every time the prime time comes, the two major cinema chains will do their best to compete with fierce films, while other independent small film production companies can only survive in the gap between the two hegemons.

This situation lasted until 1981, when it was broken by the "New Art City" film company formed by Mecca, Shi Lick and Huang Baiming.

They had won the support of the wealthy "Golden Princess" group in the previous year, and many of their ventures had performed well, and later suppressed Golden Harvest and Shaw Brothers.

Even, the two families have not fought in a new city or a family in a movie.

Golden Harvest Pictures has dealt a heavy blow to the film empire of Shaw Brothers Pictures, hitting its hegemony and prestige;

New City Pictures dealt a fatal blow to Shaw Brothers Pictures, making it step into the ancient rarity and into the grave。。。。。

It can be said that Golden Harvest and Xinyicheng are both Shao Yifu's hates, and now, "Shaw Brothers Cinemas has defeated them in another capacity...
