Chapter 181: Interview with Shao Lao
When Alvin was talking to Shen Bi, another conversation was going on in the office building of the Shaw Brothers Film and Television Base in Clear Water Bay. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info
Mrs. Fang, who has always been regarded as Shao Lao's virtuous helper, was sitting nervously next to Shao Lao, and said uneasily: "Sir, I heard that someone has already acquired most of the shares of TVB, aren't you afraid that they have other ideas?" ”
"I'm not afraid if I have an idea." Shao Lao took a sip of tea and said. "In this industry, who can provide so many reliable TV series for TVB, not even Li's TV station."
"That's what the gentleman said." Mrs. Fang said. "But what if they insist on taking back the business? You must know that since we took a stake in Infinity TV, all the personnel relations of our company have been in the TV station. ”
When Shao Lao heard this, he couldn't help but squeeze the document in his hand tightly, he was silent, and his breathing became a little heavier.
"If they take this business back, we'll only have movies left." Mrs. Fang didn't notice that Shao Lao's face had become a little gloomy, and continued. "The movies we make now can't be compared with Golden Harvest at the box office, if it weren't for other film companies to release films in our theaters and rely on our own production, I'm afraid the company would have collapsed long ago."
It's okay not to mention Jiahe, Shao Lao is still calm, as soon as Jiahe is mentioned, Shao Lao's anger that has been suppressed in his heart for several years can't stop spraying out: "Don't mention that anti-bone boy to me, I started with movies, and I will never allow an anti-bone boy to surpass me in this regard, if Jiahe hadn't let Xiaolong go, would he have today's status and financial resources?" ”
Speaking of this, Shao Lao complained a little about Mrs. Fang, thinking that Xiaolong's original intention was the Shaw family, and he hadn't come up with an idea yet, Mrs. Fang said in her ear that she would never agree to Xiaolong's request, if she agreed, what would other artists do in the future?
This is the truth, some things, once they begin, there is no way to end them, either they are treated equally, or they are broken up.
Shao Lao, who was stingy by nature, felt very pertinent about Mrs. Fang's opinion at that time, so he broke up with Xiaolong, and watched that Xiaolong picked up Jiahe with one hand in the next few years, achieving Jiahe's reputation, and Shaw Brothers became the cornerstone of Jiahe's fame and synonymous with eyes!
Therefore, Xiaolong and Jiahe, for Shao Lao, will always be an unspeakable pain buried in the bottom of his heart.
Now it was turned out by Mrs. Fang and said, why don't you make Shao Lao angry?
Shao Lao was angry, his mind was also calm, he turned his head to look at Mrs. Fang with a worried and guilty face, stretched out his hand, patted Mrs. Fang's back, and comforted: "I have experienced so much in my life, only these two things are blind, but how can a person not make mistakes in his life?" I've focused on movies for so many years, just because I'm very unwilling to lose, if they really want to take back the production of TV series, then I can just devote myself to movies, I don't believe that I can't surpass that Erwuzai. ”
That being said, usually this kind of thought is really no problem when I think about it in my heart, but when things are really possible, Shao Lao also began to calm down.
To be honest, Shao Lao himself knows in his heart that after the Shaw Brothers movie only set up a separate portal from that anti-bone boy, the annual box office is indeed Wang Xiaoer's New Year, and every year is not as good as a year. But after death, he still never gave up, hoping that one day he could turn defeat into victory and regain the glory of the Shaw Brothers.
For this reason, he repeatedly rejected the proposal of the board of directors of the television station to put him in power, and devoted himself to the film, which he regarded as nothing more than a supplier of blood transfusions for him, and his film career was the foundation of his life.
However, after finally hearing today that someone had bought most of the shares of the TV station, my heart really began to be uneasy. I'm starting to regret my old actions again, if only I had agreed to the old guys' request, at least I wouldn't have to be so passive today.
A passive environment is unbearable for anyone with a very strong desire to control.
But what else can be said about it?
After being silent for a while, Shao Lao had to comfort Mrs. Fang, as if he was comforting himself: "If they want to take it back, take it back, it's a big deal that we devote ourselves to the movie." ”
"But we 。。。。。。。" Mrs. Fang suddenly thought of a terrible question, and just as she was about to speak, she was forcibly interrupted by the always strong Shao Lao waving her hand, so she had to swallow the words she wanted to say back into her stomach, looking at Shao Lao who was paying attention to the document uneasily, and silently prayed in her heart, such a thing must not happen, because once such a thing happens, it will be a disaster!
It's a pity that things in this world often don't develop by human will.
In other words, often the good ones don't work, and the bad ones are scary.
Mrs. Fang sat in the office with Shao Lao for more than an hour, seeing that the time to get off work was approaching, she couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief in her heart, according to Shao Lao's habit, she would accompany him to enjoy dinner in his favorite teahouse, and then stroll home.
This kind of life is sometimes a luxury for a woman without a name, so Mrs. Fang cherishes this kind of life every day.
Mrs. Fang was about to remind Mr. Shao who was working to take a break, when she was about to get off work, the staff outside knocked on the door and entered, and Mrs. Fang said that someone was looking for Mr. Shao outside.
Shao Lao, who was interrupted, sank in his heart, and immediately realized that it was not the acquirer of the TV station, and came to him to talk about the shares of the TV station, after all, as the main source of the TV station, no matter who controls the TV station, he has to pay attention to this business.
Shao Lao and Mrs. Fang glanced at each other, and they both saw solemnity and worry in each other's eyes, but they could only face it.
Mrs. Fang motioned for the staff to invite the other party in.
It was Alvin who had just finished talking to Shen Bi who came in, and he saluted the two very gentlemanly, and then explained his intention to the other party.
After hearing Alvin explain his intentions, Mrs. Fang's heart sank to the bottom, and Shao Lao's heart was not much better, but she still asked calmly: "Excuse me, is this the decision of the board of directors, or your private decision?" ”
"You can see it as my decision in private." Alvin replied. "The purpose of this visit is to communicate in a friendly atmosphere as much as possible in private, without having to go to the board of directors and compete to implement the resolutions. After all, Shao Lao's contribution to the TV station is obvious to all. ”
