Chapter 146: Are You Really Not Tempted at All?

…

Gui is a tycoon in the film industry, many women hope to become the woman next to Shao Yifu, and Shao Yifu has not concealed his romantic character, in the early years when he was interviewed by the famous Huang Zhan, he even left a famous sentence: "I am amorous but not obscene, I like to be romantic, but never obscene." ”

"One-armed knife" Wang Yu described Shao Yifu's women as good and lustful, but he immediately added: "Men are lustful. ”

Shao Yifu, who is not obscene, has no shortage of beautiful women to accompany him in old age, and he is also very thoughtful in taking care of ladies. Chen Songling, who was deeply loved by Shao Yifu, also expressed regret for the departure of the sixth uncle, "The sixth uncle likes food very much, and often eats with me, and he will send a menu in advance." ”

In addition, Shaw Yifu also loves Miss Hong Kong, and when he attended the Spring Festival event in early 06, Shaw praised Lu Shiyun, the runner-up of Hong Kong sister who wore a low-V skirt, for her fair skin. In addition, the artist Cao Zhong successfully replaced the champion of the Hong Kong sister in 93, Mo Kexin, and supported Run Run Shaw to attend large-scale events.

Shao Yifu has a strong relationship with women, but a thin relationship with children, he and his first wife Huang Meizhen have four children, Weiming, Suwen, Suyun and Weizhong, and the four children live overseas for a long time. Gu Mei, who is in Canada, also said to people that he felt sorry for Shao Yifu's estranged relationship with his children.

Shaw's two sons rarely come to Hong Kong, and the eldest son, Wei Ming, is more dedicated to taking care of business in Singapore. Gu Mei said that he also sighed at the lack of fate for his children. In 98, Shao Weizhong's daughter Shao Shulin dived and drowned, and Shao Yifu only learned of his granddaughter's death after reading the newspaper, which can also be seen that his relationship with his children is quite estranged. According to a person familiar with the matter, few people in the third generation of the Shaw Brothers have a close relationship with the sixth uncle, "The sixth uncle and four brothers? There are dozens of children and grandchildren, and it is impossible to know all of them! ”

Xu Cun really couldn't figure out why Shao Yifu, who had a very poor relationship with his children and grandchildren, used marriage to maintain the relationship between the two? Is it just because Shao Yifu doesn't want Shaw Brothers Pictures to fall into the hands of outsiders?

However, no matter what Shao Yifu thinks, it is impossible for Xu Cun to agree to the marriage.

First of all, Xu Cun's vision is not so narrow - he can't destroy his foundation for the sake of this little asset of Shaw Brothers Pictures.

Secondly, it was impossible for Xu Cun to give up a large forest for the sake of a crooked neck tree of the Shao family.

Secondly, although Xu Cun is unscrupulous in order to achieve his goals, he will never fight his emotional ideas - he is extremely resistant to this kind of thing from the bottom of his bones! Of course, this can also be regarded as a manifestation of Xu Cun's immaturity.

But-

Although Xu Cun will not marry Shao Yifu, he will not refuse to cooperate with Shao Yifu again.

Putting aside the huge interests behind it, just talking about human favors, Xu should not refuse Shao Yifu thousands of miles away.

The so-called Nanyang is the back garden of Hong Kong films, which refers to a few years later. At this time, there are only twenty or thirty Hong Kong films that can be sold to Nanyang every year. Among these twenty or thirty movies, the films of Shaw Brothers and Golden Harvest account for most of them, and the films made by ordinary film companies can only honestly earn the local box office, and if you are lucky, you may be able to sell them in Taiwan and make another profit.

As for Japan and South Korea, even the two big companies Golden Harvest and Shaw Brothers don't have many films that can be sold - Japan because of the market, and South Korea because of government restrictions.

In the current Xiangjiang film industry, everyone knows that DreamWorks can already contact overseas distribution on its own, and it can achieve a good overseas box office. So, now DreamWorks has really risen.

Some time ago, an article wrote: "In the Xiangjiang film industry in the fifties, it was the princes of Shaw Brothers, Great Wall, Phoenix, Cathay and other companies fighting each other; In the 60s, the Hong Kong film industry was the Shaw Brothers and the two heroes of Dianmao (Cathay Pacific); In the Hong Kong film industry in the 70s, the Shaw Brothers and Golden Harvest shared the world equally; Now that we have just entered the 80s, the Hong Kong film industry is about to enter an era of Shaw Brothers, Golden Harvest and DreamWorks......"

The reason why DreamWorks was able to run rampant in Asia and even become a film company that shares the world equally with Shaw Brothers and Golden Harvest is because Xu Cun took advantage of Shao Yifu's carelessness to push out "Happy Ghost" and "Mr. Zombie" by Shao Yifu's hand, and then DreamWorks coquettishly made movies that repeatedly won the box office list in Xiangjiang and Taiwan, and made a lot of money overseas, which completely launched the DreamWorks brand.

Therefore, Xu Cuneng has today's status, and there is indeed a credit to Shao Yifu.

Of course, it is also impossible to ask Xu Cun to thank Shao Yifu with actual benefits or benefits - after all, Shao Yifu is not sincere in helping Xu Cun.

However, without affecting himself, it is best to be beneficial to himself, Xu Cun does not mind cooperating with Shao Yifu again or even helping Shao Yifu.

Therefore, after seeing Shao Yifu's sincerity in cooperation, Xu Cun sat up straight and said, "Sixth Uncle, in a way, we are the same kind of people, and we are all the kind of people who are not willing to be at the mercy of anyone. So let's just say it, it is always impossible for me and you to unite - if we do, I will definitely try my best to elevate you, and you will definitely try my best to turn me into a tool to make money for you, we will definitely become mediocre in internal friction, and even our company may be a funeral gift for us...... I'm willing to work with you all over again. However, our approach to cooperation is not a merger, but a distribution like this release of ET – you and Golden Harvest share the Asian distribution rights for DreamWorks' films outside of the Taiwan Bend area. ”

After Xu Cun's words were finished, Shao Yifu's eyes flashed! He then squinted his eyes slightly and said, "I'm going to be seventy-three soon, don't you even have the patience to wait for me for a few years?" ”

β€œNND! Years? You can still live for decades, Lao Tzu almost didn't survive you, with you, can I afford it? Xu Cun said secretly.

"Sixth uncle, you will definitely live a long life!" Xu Cun smiled.

Shao Yifu looked at Xu Cun for a long time before sighing: "No wonder you can rise in just two or three years!" ”

Exhaled a breath of turbidity, Shao Yifu's expression immediately returned to the way he had when he met Xu Cungang, and said, "Lei Juekun has canceled the bottom system and changed it to a sharing system, are you still ready to be on Princess Jin's side?" ”

Speaking of this, Xu Cun also looked helpless - strictly speaking, this matter was caused by him Xu Cun.

Xu Cun took DreamWorks' elites to Hollywood to make films, resulting in DreamWorks not being able to make a large number of films - more than half of the 80s have passed, and DreamWorks only has Zeng Zhiwei's "Thieves" released.

Therefore, of course, the Golden Princess Cinema Line is seriously lacking in films.

Therefore, Lei Juekun, who was forced to be red-eyed, came up with a trick to draw salaries from the bottom of the kettle and changed the bottom package system to a sharing system.

To be honest, the split system is definitely a great thing for those independent film companies - they don't have to worry about showing up anymore, and they have to pay the theaters for the film to be released in theaters.

However, this is not good news for DreamWorks.

First of all, DreamWorks movies generally have a high box office, and the share is very bad for DreamWorks!

Secondly, after the Golden Princess Cinemas released this big move, it immediately attracted countless small and medium-sized film companies to defect, and the number of films in the Golden Princess Cinemas increased greatly for a while, which made it difficult for DreamWorks movies to get the best time period and the most theaters as before.

Of course, it is impossible for Lei Juekun not to be afraid of Xu Cun's feelings - he took the initiative to propose that Xu Cun's films be divided into four and six points (Golden Princess Cinema Line accounts for four, and DreamWorks accounts for six. Films directed by other DreamWorks directors are scored on a five-and-five-point basis. In addition, all DreamWorks films will be released on a scheduled basis.

The distribution ratio between Golden Princess Cinemas and other small and medium-sized film companies is based on six and four points (Golden Princess Cinemas accounts for six, and other small and medium-sized film companies account for six. )。

Therefore, Lei Juekun's conditions for Xu Cun seem to be superior.

But this so-called superiority refers to the fact that compared with other film companies, if compared with the previous bottom system, Xu Cun still suffers.

Therefore, Shi Nansheng talked to Lei Juekun twice on behalf of Xu Cun, and finally decided that Xu Cun's films would be divided into 3.8 and 6.2, and the films directed by other directors of DreamWorks would be divided into 4.7 and 5.3.

For this result, Xu Cun is quite satisfied - although, for some **** in DreamWorks, this score is still a bit of a loss. However, DreamWorks is not all ****, and this distribution method still has certain advantages for those movies that are not ****. After the two sides were offset, the change from the package system to the sharing system did not have much impact on DreamWorks.

In addition, after all, Shaw Brothers still has a large number of films made by its own film company that have to be released in Shaw Brothers theaters.

Therefore, in the face of Shao Yifu's wooing, Xu Cun smiled and said: "Sixth uncle, you always eat meat, why do you have to let Mr. Lei drink some soup, otherwise, he will have to be anxious with you." ”

After listening to what Xu Cun said, Shao Yifu knew that Xu Cun refused again.

In this regard, he did not insist anymore, but changed the topic and said: "Are you really not interested in the conditions you put forward to me at all? ”

"Moved." Xu Cun replied honestly.

After pondering for a while, Shao Yifu looked at Xu Cun and said, "What if I leave the Shao family completely to you to take care of?" ”

Xu Cuncai didn't believe that Shao Yifu would completely hand over Shaw Brothers to him - you know, Shao Yifu set a world record for the world's longest-lived and longest-serving CEO of a listed company. It wasn't until he was one hundred and four years old that he stepped down completely. Yes, is it possible for Xu Cun to believe that such a person will completely hand over the company that he cherishes as his life to Xu Cun for management?

Therefore, Xu Cun smiled and said: "Sixth uncle, last time I had tea here, I asked you to tell me about your old and third uncle's establishment of a cinema in Nanyang, you always said that you will talk about it later, this time your boss can't shirk it anymore, right?" ”

Seeing that Xu Cun was so decisive, Shao Yifu couldn't help but think: "How good it would be if I had such a capable descendant!" ”

Rubbing his eyes slightly, Shao Yifu said, "Don't be busy talking about that, Ah Cun, do you have to come up with some intention of cooperation?" ”
