Chapter 56 Threatening Shao Tycoon

Ye Jianren looked at Zeng Zhiwei with resentment, this dead dwarf, it was definitely intentional just now, I thought he had repented and reformed, and abandoned the darkness and turned to the light, it was really too naΓ―ve!

"Hey, Ah Ren, I saw in the morning that the newspaper said that you want to invest four million to make a martial arts movie, is it true?" Hong Jingbao, who had no role for the time being, ran over and asked.

"The media, I just like to exaggerate, it's all fake, where can I compare to Brother Sanmao, you sprinkle real money. Five million, a big production that has never been made in Hong Kong, the audience can't wait to see it. Ye Jianren said with a smile, "Brother Sanmao, when are you going to release it?"

"Boss Lei is in a hurry, it is estimated that it will be released in July, just in time for the summer vacation. Hong Jingbao asked, "What are you asking for?"

"I'm not trying to avoid your limelight. Ye Jianren said.

"Shelter from the limelight, your movie is no longer released by the Golden Princess?" Hong Jingbao exclaimed.

Ye Jianren was shocked, but he didn't expect to say casually, Hong Jingbao's guess is not far from ten, and this thought is indeed filmable.

"Who can say for sure? Ye Jianren snorted and said, "Let's watch the filming." ”

Maybe it was because of Ye Jianren's enlightenment just now, Zhong Yihong's mentality was much better, and he only NG twice before passing this scene. After that, Zhong Yihong seemed to have opened the shackles, and her performance became more and more comfortable, and many scenes were passed over and over again, which surprised many old actors present.

After watching it for a while, Ye Jianren felt that there should be no major problem, so he left the set and returned to the company to deal with official business.

When it was almost time to get off work in the evening, he got good news that Shao Yifu had agreed to see him. Ye Jianren's heart that had been hanging was finally let go, he was not afraid that he would not be able to convince Shao Yifu, he was afraid that he would not have a chance. Now that Shao Yifu has agreed to see him, it means that the theater problem is half solved, and he is happy to score twice in bed at night, making Bai Caiwei almost faint.

By the next day, Ye Jianren didn't even have the mind to work, he had been preparing for the meeting with Shao Yifu, and he rehearsed the possible scenes in his heart countless times on how he should deal with them to ensure that nothing went wrong.

The place where Shao Yifu met Ye Jianren was in the TVB building, because he is now the general manager of TVB and works here many times every day.

Due to the appointment in advance, the front desk secretary took Ye Jianren directly to Shao Yifu's office. It's strange to say, he was still nervous, but when he really saw the old man who had dominated the Xiangjiang entertainment industry for more than half a century in his previous life, he relaxed instead.

"Sixth uncle, below is Ye Jianren of Sword Film Company. Ye Jianren introduced himself first, he was worried that Shao Yifu didn't know him.

This is not an exaggeration, there are always people who think that Shao Yifu stares at the box office of Xiangjiang movies every day when he has nothing to do, and when a movie comes out today and wins the first box office, he is so worried that he can't sleep, and tomorrow a movie comes out and wins the second box office, he is so scared that he can't think about it. Every day I wonder if I am old and am going to find someone to take over. This is all pure nonsense of his own imagination, Shao Yifu has not seen any wind and waves in the film industry for half a century, where will he be in chaos because of a little thing.

Every year, many new companies are established in the film industry in Hong Kong, and many small and medium-sized companies go bankrupt. Maybe a good blockbuster film was made today, and it will be closed tomorrow, Shao Yifu didn't take them to heart at all, it would be better to have afternoon tea with old friends.

In the 81st year of the previous life, the new wave director Xu Ke, who had just joined the new art city, directed "Ghost Horse Zhi Duoxing" won the best film at the 18th Golden Horse Awards.

Afterwards, Shao Yifu explained: "I haven't heard of a new art city in the past, I thought that the 'new art city' was a newly established art city film company. ”

You must know that among the several shareholders of Xinyicheng, Mecca has a comedy star with a guaranteed box office, Huang Baiming is a gold medal screenwriter, and the major shareholder Golden Princess is one of his two major competitors in the theater. The first film "Funny Times" made by Xinyicheng ranked seventh on the annual box office list, and "Ghost Horse Wisdom and Many Stars" ranked third.

For such a company, Shao Yifu said that he had not heard of it.

Compared with the new art city of later generations, Ye Jianren didn't think that Jianren Pictures, which had just left the leather bag company, had any capital to get into his eyes.

In fact, Shao Yifu did only know Ye Jianren's name yesterday, and then asked the people below to collect information. After reading it, he already had a little guess about Ye Jianren's intention today, and he was a little excited. The reason why I still met was to see what this young man who set a box office record in Xiangjiang wanted to impress himself.

"I know you, a rising generation in the Xiangjiang film industry, a young talent, broke the box office record of Xiangjiang when he was 18 years old, and I am a bad old man compared to you. Shao Yifu said with a smile.

"Sixth uncle, this is called old and strong. Ye Jianren complimented.

"Say, what's the matter with me looking for an old man today?" Shao Yifu asked directly to the point, with Ye Jianren's current status, he couldn't go around in circles with falsehood.

"I bought 20,000 shares of TVB two days ago, and I happened to hear that Uncle Six was also buying recently, so I came today to transfer the shares to Uncle Six. Ye Jianren said.

Shao Yifu's eyes narrowed, no wonder he had just reached an agreement with a small shareholder a few days ago, but he temporarily repented, he originally thought it was his old friend Li Duo and found out that he intervened, but he didn't expect it to be this little guy, and I don't know what he knew, or by mistake, try it first and then say, he said coldly: "Hou Shengzi, you can eat indiscriminately, you can't talk nonsense, it's easy to have an accident." ”

Ye Jianren suddenly realized: "It turns out that Uncle Sixth doesn't need TVB shares, since that's the case, I'll sell it to Li Dong, I believe he will definitely need it." ”

Shao Yifu's face changed, this kid really knew, how did he know if I was so secretive, since he knew, did Li Bihe also know?

At this moment, countless thoughts flashed in Shao Yifu's mind, but in the end, he still suppressed him, and asked calmly: "Say, Hou Shengzi, what do you want?"

"I want my company's films to be released at Shaw Brothers. Ye Jianren put forward his own conditions.

"No, Shaw Brothers has always been self-produced and self-sold. Shao Yifu immediately vetoed it.

"The past is, it doesn't mean the future, nothing is set in stone. It's like Uncle Sixth was not optimistic about the TV industry in the past, but now he has changed his mind and wants to become the master. Ye Jianren directly pointed out the matter.

After Shao Yifu's face changed for a while, he sighed deeply and said, "Okay, the movies of your film company can be released in Shaw Brothers Cinemas, but I want to take a stake." ”

"How much does Uncle Six want to occupy?"

"Seven Achievements Lines. ”

Ye Jianren sneered: "Sixth Uncle really has a good appetite, this is to swallow my company in one bite." Before Lei Juekun wanted to take a stake in my company, only 51% of the shares, but I didn't agree. ”

"Lei Juekun, can the Golden Princess Cinema be compared to my Shaw Brothers?" Shao Yifu said disdainfully, he does have the capital to say such things now, although he has been overwhelmed by Golden Harvest at the box office of a single movie in recent years, but in terms of total box office, talent reserve, publicity and distribution, etc., Shaw Brothers still has a slight upper hand.

"Sixth uncle, don't forget, the current box office record in Xiangjiang was created by Princess Jin. Ye Jianren reminded.

Shao Yifu couldn't help but be speechless, because this was a fact, and he couldn't refute it at all.

"What do you say?" Shao Yifu kicked the ball back.

"My film company produces independently, and the films made are screened in Shaw Brothers Cinemas and divided according to the rules. Ye Jianren proposed.

"Young people have much better teeth than an old man like me. Shao Yifu snorted coldly.

"Sixth uncle, you are serious, this is a win-win cooperation. Ye Jianren analyzed: "If the movie I make is a big hit at the box office, then Uncle Six, you can get more benefits as a theater company, and if the movie I make hits the street, then it will not have any impact on the production of Shaw Brothers itself." ”

"But why should I agree to your request with just these 20,000 shares?" Shao Yifu sneered.

"It's not these 20,000 shares, it's the position of the chairman of the board of directors of TVB. Ye Jianren said: "If I poke out the matter of Uncle Six's private acquisition of TVB shares, Uncle Six, you will definitely not be able to be the chairman, but if I don't say it......"

"Then I may not be able to do it. Shao Yifu interrupted, "So if I am strong and become this chairman, you can get a theater line." If I am not strong enough to be the chairman, you have nothing to lose, and you are very good at this calculation. ”

"No, Sixth Uncle, if I don't poke this matter out, you will definitely be elected. Ye Jianren said firmly.

"I didn't expect you to have more faith than I did. Shao Yifu couldn't help but laugh dumbly.

"Otherwise, Uncle Six, let's make a bet. ”

"Bet on what?"

"Bet on whether you can become the chairman of the board of directors of TVB. If within three months, Uncle Six, you can't be elected, then today's things will be suspended, if you can be elected, then the films of my film company will enjoy the same treatment as Shaw Brothers when they are released in theaters!"
