Wei Xiong walked into the box and saw Shao Yifu who was drinking tea slowly, and immediately said apologetically: "Shibo, I'm sorry, I'm late." ”

"You've been talking about it for more than ten hours, it's me early, so sit down. Shao Yifu smiled and gestured to the seat opposite. At this time, a waitress walked in with a recipe, and he immediately continued: "I ordered a few of the signature dishes here, you can see what else you want to order." ”

"No, just follow the original menu. After the waiter went out, Wei Xiong smiled faintly: "Originally, my junior invited Shibo to dinner......

"How can there be so much exquisiteness. Shao Yifu interrupted Wei Xiong's words: "When people are old, sometimes they want to find someone to talk to, you may also know, because of some misunderstandings, my children are basically not in Hong Kong, and they are bored on weekdays, and there is no one to talk to." ”

"So, I used to ask your dad to fish and play chess, but now I ask you out from time to time to talk. To be honest, when you stay with you young people, sometimes you feel as if you are young, and you think that time flies so fast, and everyone is old in a blink of an eye. ”

"Shibo, don't be old, listen to my father, Shibo, your body is still quite tough, and there is absolutely no problem in doing it for another few decades. ”

"Hehehe......" Shao Yifu laughed heartily for a while, and said: "The body and bones are okay, thanks to your father's superb medical skills." When I met Brother Wei, he had just come to Hong Kong a few years ago, and that time I was in the hospital for a long time because of lumbar spine pain. ”

"Later, I accidentally heard in the hospital that your father is a good doctor, so I went with the mentality of trying, but I didn't expect your father to just give me a few injections, and then prescribed a few pairs of external Chinese medicine, which was fine in less than a week, and I haven't done it again until now, which I sincerely admire. ”

"And Brother Wei is very knowledgeable in Chinese studies, the four books and five classics are in his hands, and the Danqing wonderful pen is also amazing. Especially the character, always so elegant, is definitely a well-deserved master of traditional Chinese medicine. In this materialistic society, there can still be people like him, only two words are rare.

"But...... Hehe......" Shao Yifu couldn't help but laugh twice: "As the saying goes, no one is perfect, no gold is barefoot, and sometimes I can't stand the tradition of Brother Wei's thoughts, so every time I fish or play chess, I never discuss anything about tradition with him." ”

"Hehe, it seems that Shibo really knows my dad, but I've been used to it for so many years, this time I personally served as the male protagonist of "A Chinese Ghost Story", if I didn't know that I was just playing tickets, I would definitely scold me for being unproductive, doing - cheap myself or something. ”

"Now the times are completely different, we old guys are about to be eliminated, just listen to some words, young people still have to have their own ideas, if you didn't go against Brother Wei's intention to debut in the music world, it would not be possible to have such a big career now. ”

……

The two chatted for a while, and the dishes they ordered were delivered one after another, each dish was quite finely made, and the taste was obviously more focused than Cantonese cuisine, more like Fujian cuisine or Zhejiang cuisine. At this time, Shao Yifu also gradually got to the point: "Actually, there is one more thing to discuss with you today. ”

Wei Xiong didn't have an interface, and listened to Shao Yifu's words: "The most fundamental reason why "The True Color of Heroes" and "A Chinese Ghost Story" cooperated with Shaw Brothers before was that the theater chain had the Shaw Brothers signboard, as long as the conflict was not big, Pan Disheng would arrange a good schedule. ”

"Of course, these two collaborations are all Shaw Brothers taking advantage of, and each takes what he needs. But now that your own cinema company is already being formed, it won't be long before Webster moves out of the biggest way. If you want to cooperate with Shaw Brothers in the future, you have to show greater sincerity. ”

Wei Xiong had already roughly guessed Shao Yifu's purpose for asking him: "Shibo's words are serious, if it weren't for Shibo's help, how could there be Wei's current good situation." And with your friendship with my father, it is a bit strange to say this, and the door of Wei's cooperation will always be open for Shaw Brothers. ”

Shao Yifu was obviously very useful to Wei Xiong's words, and said with a smile: "Friendship is friendship, business is still business, I plan to cooperate with Wei's in this Hong Kong sister, and Shaw Brothers and Wei's jointly customize a film for the Hong Kong sister champion." As for investment, Shaw accounted for 60 percent and Weishi accounted for 40 percent. ”

"In the end, the profit was 40% for Shaw and 60% for Webster. Of course, the script is out of Wei's, and the copyright is also owned by Wei's, what does the virtuous nephew think?"

Investing in Shaw Brothers accounts for 60 percent, Wei's accounts for 40 percent, and the sharing is the opposite, and there is no copyright required? This proposal is undoubtedly very sincere.

This kind of cooperation is proposed because now that Wei's wings are getting full, there is no need to cooperate with Shaw Brothers, and he can eat alone. To put it mildly, this time it was Shao Yifu who asked Wei Xiong, if Wei Xiong didn't cooperate with him, he would be helpless, he was weak from the beginning.

In Wei Xiong's opinion, there is no need for the current Wei family to cooperate with anyone, but since Shao Yifu has spoken in person, he is not easy to refuse: "Since it is Shibo's intention, of course there is no problem, according to this plan, I will submit the script to Shibo for review as soon as possible." ”

"Actually, I don't hide it from Shibo, in the afternoon, Xu Xiaoming of ATV called me, although I didn't say what it was, but I think it should be related to the movie. ”

Shao Yifu, who was happy because of Wei Xiong's promise, suddenly stiffened his expression when he heard this, he didn't expect it to be such a coincidence, and now it is equivalent to TVB intercepting ATV's Hu. Thinking of this, he couldn't help but smile and said, "It seems that I picked a good time, I wonder what my nephew thinks about cooperating with ATV?"

"Shibo can rest assured, since he has cooperated with TVB, Weishi will naturally not cooperate with ATV again, and I still have this principle. ”

"Hehe, eat the vegetables. Shao Yifu looked very happy, only to see him pick up a piece of shrimp that looked crystal clear, and introduced with interest: "This shrimp is called 'Longjing shrimp', which is cooked with Longjing tea from Hangzhou, and is a famous dish in Zhejiang cuisine." ”

"It is also the signature dish here, but the Zhejiang cuisine made by this restaurant can only be said to be good, far from being authentic, and coming here to eat is more of a spiritual sustenance. Hehe, when people are old, sometimes they are easy to be nostalgic, and I don't know if there is a chance to go back and see. ”

"Since the reform and opening up, the mainland has become more and more open to the outside world, especially to Hong Kong and Macao. ”

Shao Yifu smiled and didn't say anything, when he reached his level, many things were no longer what he wanted. Seeing this, Wei Xiong also changed the topic in a timely manner: "Recently, I suddenly had an idea to set up a TV drama production company. ”

Shao Yifu was blown up by Wei Xiong's sudden bomb, and Wei Xiong had already continued:

"In fact, I have always felt that TVB, including ATV, has a lot of drawbacks, for example, the production of TVB's TV series is completely assembly-line, a martial arts drama of fifty or sixty episodes, from the beginning of preparation to the end of filming, it will not take more than a month if it is fast. ”

"It seems to be very efficient, but in fact, it is at the expense of quality, and there is no problem now, but with the improvement of the material level and the development of society, the audience's viewing requirements will also increase, and they will ask the TV station to provide better quality works. ”

"In addition, the integration of production and broadcasting of TVB and ATV will lead to a lack of vitality and innovation in the production team, anyway, no matter how well I shoot, the TV station will still broadcast, and the ratings are actually not directly related to the production team. ”

"There is only one solution to this problem - the separation of production and broadcasting. Under the pressure of the reality that no one will help you pay the bill, and the work you produce cannot survive without anyone buying the company, the production team will have a sense of urgency and work hard to produce excellent works. ”

"At the same time, the separation of production and broadcasting can also greatly save the expenses of the TV station and increase profits, which is particularly important for a listed company. ”

"In the end, whether it is TVB or ATV, they all focus most of their energy on the production of TV dramas, in fact, news and variety shows have great potential that has not been tapped, take a food show as an example, it is not only cooking, but also can add a lot of other things. ”

Forming a TV drama production company was an idea he had a long time ago, but he never put it into action, and today it is a good time to put it forward when Shao Yifu is looking for him. As for why he said it to Shao Yifu, in fact, the reason is very simple-

TVB has the largest actor resources in Hong Kong, especially TV drama actors, and if a future TV drama production company wants to make a TV series, it is basically inseparable from TVB actors. So he planned to work with Shaw Yifu, and he had this idea from the beginning.

Shao Yifu was silent for a long time, the separation of production and broadcasting is actually nothing new, not to mention European and American countries, Japanese TV stations are like this, of course he also knows the benefits of separation of production and broadcasting, but knowing that he knows, whether he can do it and whether he is willing to do it is another matter.

What he is thinking about now is whether he should cooperate with Wei Xiong, if he cooperates, he is worried that it will cause backlash to TVB itself; if he does not cooperate, Wei Xiong can go to ATV to cooperate. Even Wei Xiong can go it alone, although it will be more difficult to develop in the early stages.

And he has a hunch that even if he goes it alone, even if he encounters many difficulties in the initial development, in the end, this TV drama production company is still very likely to succeed. At that time, the threat to TVB will be even greater. So his mood is indeed a little tangled now.

After pondering for a long time, he suddenly made a decision: "Nephew's words do make sense, but the situation in Hong Kong is different after all, so many things can't be generalized, but I'm still very interested in my nephew's TV drama production company, and I can cooperate." ”

"In addition, I wonder if the virtuous nephew is interested in becoming a shareholder of TVB?"
