For Shaw Brothers Films, Su Chenyu really doesn't have a lot of cold, after all, Shaw Brothers Pictures, which is close to semi-suspension, can't bring him enough benefits, and Su Dashao doesn't have a hobby of collecting "old antiques". However, the copyright of nearly 1,000 films shot by Shaw Brothers Pictures in the past few decades is indeed what he wants, and it is related to his VCD plan.

Of course, although it is okay to let Chen Yaoxing's VCD piracy base engage in the piracy of Shaw Brothers movies, wouldn't it be better if the copyright could be taken down. Besides, StarTV's movie channels can also be used in the future, anyway, you can't spend money to buy them every year, right?

However, Su Chenyu thought that it was very beautiful, and he planned his own plan, but the "sixth uncle" Shao Yifu may not cooperate with him.

"Shaw Brothers Pictures' film copyright?" Thinking that he had heard it wrong, Shaw Yifu looked at Su Chenyu and asked uncertainly: "Do you want the copyright of all the films of Shaw Brothers Pictures?"

Nodding with a smile, Su Chenyu said, "Yes, Sixth Uncle." ”

It turned out that Shao Yifu thought that Su Chenyu was going to buy Shaw Pictures, which was the ancestral business of their Shaw family, and it was impossible to sell it if he was killed. However, I didn't expect that what Su Chenyu wanted was the movie copyright, if this is the case, Shao Yifu can't think about it.

Don't look at the fact that at this time, Hong Kong seems to be in line with international standards, and there are many laws and regulations on patents and copyrights, but it is still the same sentence, if there are cheap pirated copies, why do people spend so much money to see genuine copies? Therefore, Hong Kong's copyright protection is there, but it is not so important.

"How did you want to buy the film rights to Shaw Brothers?"

Obviously, Shao Yifu didn't think about VCD discs, what he thought of was that he was afraid that after StarTV got the copyright of these movies, it would have an impact on TVB.

Su Chenyu had already expected Shao Yifu's question, and said with a smile: "That's the case, Uncle Six, I am currently planning the VCD industry, so I hope to get the film copyright of Shaw Brothers Pictures to make discs, so as to stimulate the entire market." ”

"Moreover, VCD, a nascent market and industry, will impact the film industry and the video industry, and it doesn't seem to have a bad impact on your old age. ”

Shaw Yifu has heard of VCD, a new thing, but he doesn't know much about it, and he only heard that it will have an impact on the film industry and the video industry, but these have nothing to do with him now.

"Is that so?"

Nodding with a smile, Su Chenyu continued: "Yes, so, I hope that the sixth uncle and your old man can be fulfilled." ”

Hehe, Su Chenyu naturally didn't tell the truth, he was hiding the evil intentions of "Darkness Chen Cang", and planned to authorize the movie copyright to StarTV, so that he could start his own movie channel in the future.

"That's it, Su Sheng, let me think about it. After all, although this is the purchase of the film rights of Shaw Brothers Pictures, this involves the issue of Shaw Brothers ancestral industry after all. So, I need to think about it carefully. ”

didn't give his attitude clearly, Shao Yifu fortunately came up with a "delaying strategy", as an old fox who has experienced the ups and downs of the business sea for many years, he doesn't think that what Su Chenyu said is the whole truth.

Seeing that Shao Yifu was using this excuse again, Su Chenyu felt that this time it was still not a big problem, so he said with a smile: "That's natural, I'll wait for the good news of the sixth uncle." ”

Nodding with a smile, Shao Yifu said, "I will give Su Sheng a satisfactory answer soon." ”

At this time, the signing ceremony of the agreement between Su's Records and TVB was also coming to an end, and Su Chenyu and Shao Yifu left the scene ahead of schedule.

As soon as he returned to the Shaw Brothers mansion, Shao Yifu asked Fang Yihua to collect a large number of analysis reports on the VCD industry for himself, and he wanted to verify how credible what Su Chenyu said. The most important thing is that Shao Yifu still has to find out what "ulterior" purpose this guy has.

Although I don't know why Shao Yifu suddenly became interested in VCD, Fang Yihua quickly found a large number of prospect analysis reports on the VCD industry and market. As a veteran of the ups and downs of the business world for many years, Shao Yifu quickly captured the information that was useful to him, so he basically made a decision in his heart.

There is no doubt that what Su Chenyu said is basically true, and Shao Yifu has nothing to say, but this old fox found a little fatality from this.

"Although this Su Sheng looks very young, his methods are very old-fashioned. Shaking his head with a smile, Shao Yifu naturally said to himself: "I still want to play the hand of 'hiding from the sky and crossing the sea'." ”

Yes, Su Chenyu did hide it, it is not StarTV's business, but the VCD industry will also have an impact on TVB. It's very simple, once everyone has a special eye on the VCD player, there are all kinds of movies, who still watches the movies played by TVB's channels.

Therefore, on this point, Shao Yifu has already decided that he cannot sell the film copyright of Shaw Brothers Pictures to Su Chenyu. What's more, Shao Yifu felt that Su Chenyu must be hiding something behind him, this guy is definitely very dishonest.

Besides, in the past few years, Shaw Yifu has continuously dealt with assets such as Shaw Brothers Cinemas and Huaxing Records, and he is already a bit of a "loser", so he can't be a killer anymore when he says anything to Shaw Brothers Pictures - even if it's a movie copyright.

Now that the decision has been made, Shao Yifu no longer delayed, and directly called Su Chenyu with a phone call, "Sixth Uncle" and his old man are ready to refuse Su Chenyu fiercely.

"Su Sheng, after I thought about it, I decided not to sell the film rights of Shaw Brothers Pictures. After all, this can be regarded as the ancestral business of our Shaw family. ”

"Okay, that's it, let's have a chance to work together again in the future. ”

Well, after saying these two simple sentences, Shao Yifu hung up the phone decisively, leaving only Su Chenyu on the other end of the phone with a confused look - what is the situation?

Su Chenyu was really a little caught off guard by Shao Yifu's refusal, didn't he say that he would give me a satisfactory answer?

However, there is no way to be dissatisfied, after all, Shao Yifu is not another cat or dog, he is a real tycoon in Hong Kong - even if his personal wealth is not among the top ten on Hong Kong Island, his influence is definitely leveraged. To tell the truth, even Li Jiacheng and others were polite when they saw the "Sixth Uncle", this is the status of the "Sixth Uncle".

Hey, in the final analysis, Su Chenyu is not a god, it is impossible for everything to go well, and it is normal to be rejected by others - the reborn is not omnipotent.
