There is no love without a reason in the world, and there is no hate without a reason. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info

Although Lu Deshuang and Liu Dehao have a good relationship, this friendship is not enough to let Lu De's two-way Golden Horse Award Conference open fire, and even hesitate to advocate Guorong for the best actor at this Golden Horse Awards.

More importantly, in addition to being Liu Dehao's friend, Lu Deshuang is also a businessman.

As the saying goes, there is *** ruthlessness, drama is unmeaningful, and businessmen are profitable.

Lu Deshuang may have the intention of fighting for Liu Dehao in his heart, but more thoughts are still his starting point, from the beginning he is rushing to Liu Dehao, it can be said that the purpose of firing at the Golden Horse Awards Conference this time, and even implicating Zhang Guorong, is to invest in Liu Dehao's feelings.

In fact, in this human society, emotional investment is the ultimate realm of all investment in this society, through money, physical objects, etc., it has been transformed into emotional investment, and the return is also intentionally or unintentionally reflected in the feelings.

It can be said that emotional investment is the most effective investment strategy in human society.

Lu Deshuang believes that after his remarks reach Liu Dehao's ears, although they will not reach the level of bowing all at once, they will definitely move Liu Dehao.

And being able to move Liu Dehao is Lu Deshuang's purpose.

Why do you want to do this, you have to start with the lawsuit caused by the Tianmu Company founded by Liu Dehao.

In 1990, Liu Dehao established Tianmu Film Company, which produced mostly literary films other than mainstream themes. After the fiasco of "Heaven and Earth", Andy Lau accumulated a loss of about 30 million, and was forced to compensate Tianmu Company to Taiwanese filmmaker Tsai Songlin (the owner of a scholar institution), and received financial support from Xiang Huaqiang and his wife from Huaxia Star Company.

Later, Liu Dehao supported Chen Guo to shoot "Made in Hong Kong" with the remaining films, and the good reputation of this film prompted Liu Dehao to have the confidence to invest in the film again, and in 2000, he introduced other shareholders, after the box office of "Give Them a Chance", the conflict between partner Mai Shaotan and Liu Dehao was openly intensified, and the two sides started a series of lawsuits, and finally the Tianmu founded by Liu Dehao ended up with its out, and Liu Dehao lost tens of millions of yuan.

The lawsuit mentioned above refers to the lawsuit that Liu Dehao talked about with Mai Shao.

Liu Dehao and Mai Shao talked about the two getting acquainted and cooperating in 2000. At that time, China Construction Telecom acquired E-CLUB, an entertainment company owned by Mai Shaotan, and placed 40 million shares in Liu Dehao, who once became a strategic shareholder. At that time, the two had a good relationship.

Later, in 2001, China Construction Telecom took a stake in the "Tianmu" company and purchased 50% of the shares of the Tianmu Film Production Company held by Liu Dehao for a price of 100 million yuan.andylau.com When recalling the cooperation scene that day, Mai Shao also said: "Liu Dehao said that he would sell his acting career to Zhongjian (Mandarin "selling") to China Construction. However, when it was time to put the "Sky Canopy" on the market, the two began to break up. According to sources, the original intention of Mai Shaotan to live in the canopy was to concoct a listed company mainly engaged in the entertainment industry, and Mai Shaotan said that "at that time, Hantec Securities was willing to underwrite 80 million Hong Kong dollars". However, the night before the listing, Liu Dehao thought that Tianmu did not meet the listing standards at that time, and did not dare to go public rashly.

Mai Shaotan later admitted to the media that the fuse of the dispute with Liu Dehao was that Liu Dehao suddenly refused to sign to list Tianmu when everything was ready, which stopped his original plan to cash out his shares.

Mai Shaotan has his own business experience, "Tianmu and Oriental Entertainment arranged to go public at the same time (that is, in mid-2001), at that time it was planned to raise 80 million yuan, so as to calculate the valuation of Tianmu reached 360 million yuan, and I held half of the equity from 100 million yuan to 160 million yuan. ”

If Tianmu can be listed, Liu Dehao's fame will naturally be an excellent hype concept -- Mai Shaotan, who is a stock market player, will not fail to understand this. However, Liu Dehao's refusal to sign undoubtedly broke Mai Shao's wishful thinking.

Mai Shaotan, who was unable to cash out, was greatly annoyed, and a series of legal turmoil ensued.

The first is the June 2002 "ban on performances", in which China State Construction Telecom sent letters to a number of production companies prohibiting the acting work of the company, including the famous "Infernal Affairs", on the grounds that the company had violated the shareholders' agreement.

Liu Dehao also immediately issued a lawyer's letter to recover 15 million yuan in actors' remuneration from Tianmu Company, which has shares in China Construction.

China State Construction then retaliated and used a very vicious trick: it demanded 150 million yuan in compensation from the company and completely banned the company -- asking the court to prohibit all of Liu Dehao's acting work without the company's consent, on the grounds that all the film productions in which the company directly or indirectly participated in or assisted were in competition with Tianmu Films.

In the end, with the mediation of various forces, including Lu Deshuang, the two sides ended the case with a settlement -- China State Construction Telecom issued a statement in November last year, saying that Liu Dehao had withdrawn the shares held by Mai Shaotan in the canopy. The two sides did not disclose the purchase price, and it is rumored that after the coordination of friends from both sides, 80 million yuan was redeemed.

Of this money, nearly half of the money was lent to Liu De by Lu Deshuang, because Lu Deshuang knew very well that compared to this money, Liu De Da was the most valuable.

And in June of this year, Liu Dehao talked to Mai Shao about another lawsuit crisis.

According to sources, the main cause of the storm was an interview with a weekly magazine in Hong Kong, and the following is the original text of the interview:

Q: What did you learn from last year's lawsuits?

Hua: I've learned that making friends and doing business are separate, and it's been a mistake for everyone to work together from the beginning. At first, there was a difference of opinion, and he (Mak Shaotan) actually asked me to dismiss the key people in the three major departments that I had hired back, including the director, but I couldn't do it. He also asked the company (Tianmu) to be listed, but at that time, Tianmu did not meet the listing standards at all, since everyone had different ideas, I planned to buy back his shares in "Tianmu", but he refused, and finally had to go to court. After this battle, I no longer cooperated with others to do business, and I managed it alone in the future. I know that I am too kind, and successful businessmen are profiteers, but in the future, I will only do it alone, and I will not rape myself! From now on, I will take control of the business in my own hands and no longer have to explain to others. Although it is normal for a partnership to communicate with each other, I think it is a strange thing to have to explain even the HK$10 expense to the other party, as if I caused the other party to lose HK$5 for no reason.

Q: Is it the wrong person?

AW: From a friend's point of view, I did see the wrong person, but from a business point of view, I don't know very well. I can't blame others for being too capable, I can only blame myself for being stupid and having poor vision.

Q: You're good at performing in front of the camera, but is it beyond your ability to do business? Do you feel like you're not up to the task?

Hua: I don't think I'm not suitable for business. In the early days of the establishment of "Tianmu", I invested more than 40 million Hong Kong dollars to make films such as "92 Condor Heroes: The Crazy Mood Sword" and "Forever", which were blockbusters. In the future, I will be thinking about how to control the budget, and as long as I stop working with others and continue to create high-quality works, I will definitely make money in the long run. I have the same belief in doing business as being a person, or some businessmen make a lot of money in two or three years and then leave the market and don't play, but I'm not that kind of person.

Q: You've always wanted to build your own kingdom, but have the "Skycanopy" lawsuits hit your self-confidence again and again?

Hua: My original intention of creating "Tianmu" was not to get promoted and make a fortune, I just hope that every once in a while, there will be some new attempts, and I want people to know that everything produced by my company must be good. Although there were some setbacks at the beginning of the company's listing cooperation, I will not lose confidence, I have always been down-to-earth, and I don't believe in one step to the sky.

It is also this interview that made Liu Dehao and Mak Shaotan these two names have been pulled together recently, Mak Shaotan mentioned the lawsuit between the two in an interview with Andy's media interview, believing that his "radical remarks" had a negative impact on him and his company's reputation, and has issued a lawyer's letter requesting Andy to publish an apology within 7 days and retract the relevant remarks, otherwise further legal action is not ruled out.

There is so much nonsense, I believe everyone can also see that in the past two years, Liu Dehao's situation has not been easy, not to mention the heavy foreign debt, just talking about the grievances between Mai Shao and Mai Shao has deeply affected Liu Dehao's career.

In the previous lawsuit crisis, Lu Deshuang's full support, both money and effort, I believe that after this bombardment of the Golden Horse Awards Conference and the move to stand up for Liu Dehao, his emotional investment in Liu Dehao has reached the moment of return.

If Lu Deshuang asked for more in-depth and more cooperation with Liu Dehao at this time, I believe that Liu Dehao, who is more emotional than rational and attaches great importance to affection and righteousness, will definitely not refuse his request for cooperation.

After more than a year of careful layout, it has finally reached the moment when it can blossom and bear fruit, and this is the power of emotional investment.
