Chapter 374: Bitter Fruit
…
Shao Yifu looked at Xu Cun and said, "Ah Cun, how about I sell you 200 million Hong Kong dollars for Shaw Brothers Cinemas?"
Xu Cuncai didn't believe that Shao Yifu, the iron rooster, would take the initiative to push the price of Shaw Brothers Cinemas so low, and there would be no other conditions! Therefore, Xu Cun said bluntly: "Sixth uncle, let's say your additional conditions together." Pen %Fun %Pavilion www.biquge.info"
Listening to what Xu Cun said, a trace of pain immediately appeared on Shao Yifu's face!
After pondering for a while, Shao Yifu said: "The fire in TVB City burned down TVB's 372 dramas...... Those long dramas carry the memories of countless Xiangjiang people, including me, and it would be a pity if all those long dramas disappeared forever!"
After a pause, Shao Yifu looked at Xu Cun and said, "I want to join forces with you to remake the thirty of those long dramas." ”
Immediately, Shao Yifu added: "Use the original cast to remake thirty of those long dramas." ”
After Shao Yifu's words were finished, Xu Cun said: "Including the two theaters you rented, Uncle Six, how about I give you 240 million Hong Kong dollars for Shaw Brothers Cinema Line?"
The remake of TVB's classic TV series has all kinds of harm but no benefit for Xu Cun!
First of all, it's hard to remake those classic TV series with the original cast - many of the actors who made those classic TV series back then have now turned movie actors. Some of these actors only earned one or two thousand Hong Kong dollars a TV series when they filmed those classic TV series, and now they can earn one or two hundred thousand Hong Kong dollars for a movie, or even more. The most typical example is Zhou Runfa, who found that his salary had reached 4 million Hong Kong dollars for a movie, and the film appointments continued, how could he easily get Zhou Yunfa to remake TVB's classic TV series?
Secondly, people have nostalgia for the past, especially in the G people, Xu Cun is sure that as long as TVB can remake those classic TV series, it will definitely be able to pull back a lot of audiences! Xu Cunfang is too late to do this, how can he reach out to help?
Shao Yifu looked at Xu Cun and said, "180 million Hong Kong dollars, the Shaw Brothers Cinema Line will all belong to you." You and I each bear half of the production cost, and when the TV series is produced, you and I will have half of the copyright. ”
After a pause, Shao Yifu said again: "The 100 million Hong Kong dollars I gave you on the Shaw Brothers Cinema Line, even if it is not enough for the production fee from your side, it is not much worse." ”
Immediately, Shao Yifu said again: "If those TV series want to see the light of day again, only you and I can work together, if not, I can't talk to you about this matter with my old face." ”
Shao Yifu's 20 million Hong Kong dollars is not tempting for Xu Cun, but the copyright of those classic TV series is what Xu Cun wants.
But-
Although Xu Cun wants the copyright of those classic TVB TV series, Xu Cun will not release the tiger of TVB for the copyright of those classic TV series!
Therefore, Xu Cun said without hesitation: "According to what you said, Sixth Uncle, 280 million Hong Kong dollars." ”
"Hey!"
Shao Yifu sighed in his heart and said: "No wonder he can achieve today's achievements!" -- The conditions put forward by Shao Yifu can not be described as unattractive! If it were an ordinary person, even people like Zhou Liang Shuyi and Xu Xiaoming, they would definitely agree, or at least hesitate, but Xu Cun refused without even thinking about it.
Subsequently, Shao Yifu took out the bottom line in his heart: "160 million Hong Kong dollars, you and I will each contribute half of the production fee, the TV series is produced, the copyright belongs to you, and TVB only needs the right to use it permanently." Then, Shao Yifu's eyes hidden behind his glasses narrowed slightly, threatening Xu Cun: "Ah Cun, if you still refuse to agree, you will pay 400 million Hong Kong dollars, and I will never sell the Shaw Cinema Line to you, and tomorrow I will rent the Shaw Brothers Cinema Line to Pan Xiaozi at a low price, so that Pan Xiaozi will always make trouble for you!"
Immediately afterwards, Shao Yifu's tone softened, and he said: "I helped you in the release of "Happy Ghost" and "Mr. Zombie" after all, with your current status and status, this favor should be returned to me...... As long as you promise to help me remake 30 TVB dramas, all the grievances between us will be written off, how about it?"
When saying the word 'resentment', Shao Yifu deliberately added an accent - Shao Yifu was telling Xu Cun: "As long as you promise to help me remake 30 TVB long dramas, you will dig the corner of TVB and set fire to the TVB City." ”
Shao Yifu lured and coerced and took out the favor that Xu Cun owed him back then, and he didn't even hate Xu Cun for digging the corner of TVB and setting fire to the wireless TV city (Xu Cun knew in his heart that not holding a grudge must be a superficial phenomenon, and he must not slack off.) Even if the mind is as strong as Xu Cun, he can't resist it!
After pressing his temples and groaning for a while, Xu Cuncai said with a wry smile: "Sixth uncle, I really hope that we can live in peace in the future!"
This sentence came from Xu Cun's bottom of his heart -- in order to achieve his goal, Shao Yifu almost had no bottom line! Xu Cun treated others with himself, believing that an opponent without a bottom line was the most terrible opponent! Therefore, if it was possible, Xu Cun really didn't want to fight with Shao Yifu, who could bend and stretch out!
……
Sir Shao sold the Shaw Brothers Cinemas to Mr. Xu Cun Xu for 160 million Hong Kong dollars, and the DreamWorks Cinemas expanded from 11 cinemas and cinemas to 23 cinemas and cinemas, becoming the largest cinema chain in Hong Kong!"
TVB and Phoenix TV will remake 30 TVB classic TV dramas that were burned in the fire in TVB City with the original crew, and now we are consulting the opinions of the people of Xiangjiang on which 30 TVB classic TV dramas to shoot. Consultation method: Starting tomorrow, there will be a voting column on the entertainment pages of "Ta Kung Pao", "Wen Wei Po", and "Industrial and Commercial Daily", as long as the audience cuts out the voting column to write and vote for their favorite TVB TV series, and then send it to TVB or Phoenix Channel. (Note: One name per vote, more than one will be invalid.) )”
"TVB and Phoenix Channel sued the fire brigade for negligence and caused huge losses to themselves, and the court will be held on the 7th of next month. ”
“……”
Due to the agreement reached between Xu Cun and Shao Yifu, in recent times, Xu Cun, Shao Yifu, Phoenix Channel, and TVB have dominated the front pages of major newspapers.
In this trend, although Xu Cun has been praised by all parties for his high wind and bright festival, in fact, Xu Cun and his Phoenix Station played the role of green leaves in this trend, and it was Shao Yifu and TVB who played the role of red flowers in this trend.
As Xu Cun expected, the remake of TVB's classic TV series has completely revitalized TVB, which has survived - although it has not yet been broadcast, and it has not even officially started filming those TVB classic TV series, but this series of hype made by Shao Yifu alone has made TVB's ratings rebound a lot (At present, the ratings ratio of Phoenix Channel and TVB has changed from about 7 to 3 in the past to about 6.8 to 3.2. It is conceivable that after the broadcast of those classic TV dramas that can resonate with the memories of the people of Xiangjiang, TVB's ratings will definitely rebound significantly, even if Phoenix Channel also broadcasts those classic TV series, it will not change this.
In this regard, in addition to forcing Shao Yifu and TVB to pull Shao Yifu and TVB into the chariot of the mainland, so that Shao Yifu and TVB lose the support of pro-British elements, all Xu Cun can do is to pinch his nose and eat the bitter fruit planted by himself.
