"In order to focus more energy on the development of TVB, Shaw Brothers (Hong Kong) Limited will sell all of its Shaw Brothers cinemas!"

Rumble! As soon as this news was announced, it was like dropping a nuclear bomb in Hong Kong, which instantly shocked the whole of Hong Kong, and countless people were shocked.

In 1958, Shaw Tycoon and Shaw Renmei founded Shaw Brothers Film Company, the full name of Shaw Brothers (Hong Kong) Co., Ltd., adhering to a more pure commercial production line, "audience first" theory is its central content, so Shaw Brothers quickly won the audience and achieved success, and by the 60s and 70s, Shaw Brothers has become a representative of Hong Kong films.

But in the 80s, as TV programs became more and more popular, the Shaw Brothers' large-scale studio system also seriously restricted the development of Shaw Brothers films, coupled with the fierce competition between New Arts City and Golden Harvest, the annual output of Shaw Brothers fell to 20-30 films, and the previous Shaw Brothers directors also continued to leave Shaw Brothers, and Shaw Brothers, which had been operating at a loss for many years, finally came to the verge of closure.

Now that Shaw Brothers is about to sell all of its theaters, it is believed that the real closure will not be too far away.

In 27 years, nearly 1,000 films, four major directors, Huangmei tone movies, new martial arts style, film kingdom, etc. have become a string of Shaw Brothers impressions.

It can be said that countless citizens of Hong Kong have grown up watching Shaw Brothers movies, and Shaw Brothers movies have become an indelible mark in the hearts of countless people.

Among these countless people, the most complicated may be Golden Harvest's Zou Wenhuai, who began to gain the attention of Shao Tycoon from Shaw Brothers Film Company, and gradually emerged, but later turned against him and resolutely left Shaw Brothers to found Golden Harvest, and then began a ten-year-long grievance with Shaw Brothers, betrayal, shady, intimidation, blocking, everything, and the two seemed to have become mortal enemies.

Now all of a sudden, the Shaw Brothers are about to disappear, and they are withdrawn from the hatred of old and dead, thinking of their old boss and old opponent, Zou Wenhuai inevitably sighs with emotion.

Although the new art city has already become the most popular film company in Hong Kong, it is undoubtedly a good thing to lose a deep-rooted Shaw Brothers, but after all, the Hong Kong film industry has ushered in another giant, and the future is still unknown.

Although many people are complaining that the films made by Shaw Brothers in the 80s are becoming more and more outdated and ugly, when they learned that Shaw Brothers was coming to an end, it still attracted the attention of countless people, so this news attracted the attention of the whole Hong Kong once it was announced.

In view of this, the media naturally refused to let go of this shocking news, and soon the news spread all over Hong Kong, causing a heated discussion, and the news spread quickly, Taiwan, Southeast Asia, Japan, and even South Korea, which was under martial law, quickly reported the news.

In this regard, many citizens of Taiwan, Southeast Asia and Japan have paid attention to it, because Hong Kong films are on the road of expansion, and the entire East Asia and Southeast Asia have been affected by Hong Kong films.

Of course, Taiwan, Southeast Asia and Japan are most concerned about this matter is still the major film companies, as long as the current Hong Kong films are sold in Hong Kong, then they are also very popular in their own countries and regions, although Shaw Brothers' films have been disclosed, but they are still one of the top three, and this major event that is likely to affect the entire film industry in Hong Kong naturally makes these film companies highly concerned.

At this time, in front of Hong Kong's TVB, not only Hong Kong reporters, but also many reporters from Taiwan and Japan, just wanted to get first-hand information.

At 8 o'clock in the morning, Shao Daheng's car stopped in front of TVB, and as soon as the door opened, it was surrounded by countless reporters.

"Mr. Shao, is it true that Shaw Brothers is going to sell all of its theaters?"

"Mr. Shao, is Shaw Brothers Film Company going to shut down?"

"Mr. Shao, is the Shaw Brothers Film Company losing a lot of money and can't hold on anymore before it closes?"

……

As soon as Shao Tycoon walked out of the car door, he was blocked by countless recorders and microphones, Shao Tycoon frowned slightly, but he didn't say a word, just stared at the reporter in front of him, the originally noisy reporter was stared at by Shao Tycoon's eyes and quickly quieted down, after Shao Tycoon started, the reporters involuntarily got out of the way, and when Shao Tycoon entered the building without saying a word, the reporters did not dare to speak again, Shao Tycoon's domineering spirit was fully revealed.

"Okay, I know you have a lot of questions you want to ask, I'm going to focus on answering them here, please be quiet, I won't let people ask questions, if anyone talks halfway, then I'll turn around and leave." Fang Yihua, who came out later, stood in front of everyone.

When the reporters heard this, they complained in their hearts, these two really don't take our uncrowned king seriously, but these two just did it, and everyone had no choice but to endure it, and I expected Fang Yihua to say more.

"First of all, Shaw Brothers is really going to sell all of its theaters! But not because of poor management, but in order to put more energy into the development of TVB, now with the TV into more and more families, while everyone's pace of life is getting faster and faster, the time to enter the cinema will be less and less, TV has become the first choice for everyone's entertainment without dispute.

The increasing revenue of TVB is the best proof of this, so in order to be able to make the best TV program, Shaw Brothers decided to put more effort into it, and selectively abandoned the management of the film side, one of which was to sell its theaters. ”

Hearing Fang Yihua's words, many reporters pursed their lips, and what they said was so good, not because Shaw Brothers has accumulated a lot of money and is constantly going downhill, when it comes to income, film is definitely one of the most violent industries, just look at Xinyicheng to know that as long as you make a blockbuster movie, you can become a millionaire in an instant and realize your Hong Kong dream.

The current Hong Kong film is just the opposite of the declining Shaw Brothers Film Company, which can be described as thriving, and has broken the highest box office record and annual total box office record in Hong Kong for many years, and at the same time, the overseas market is getting bigger and bigger, so that the income of Hong Kong films is still rising, a popular movie, it is not difficult to make a profit, but Shaw Brothers can no longer regain its former glory, and closure has become the only option.

"In addition, although Shaw Brothers Film Company will sell all its theaters, Shaw Brothers Film Company will not close its doors, and the company will continue its film journey for many years, and strive to make more wonderful movies for everyone to enjoy."

This news surprised everyone, even the theater was going to be sold, but the film production company was not closed, is this to save some face, or do you want to make a comeback?

I'm afraid it's hard to make a comeback, and I can't succeed in holding the theater chain, but I'm afraid it's even more difficult to produce, this move should just be to preserve some of the face of the Shaw Brothers once as a film kingdom.

After Fang Yihua said this, he turned his head and walked towards the TV building, seeing Fang Yihua's movements, many reporters were anxious, although the news was confirmed, but everyone already knew the news, as for the other news, it was not very attractive, wouldn't there be no headlines when I went back like this.

"Manager Fang, may I ask what is the approximate selling price of Shaw Brothers' cinema chain? Is there a buyer in contact with Shore now? Is anyone really willing to spend hundreds of millions of Hong Kong dollars to acquire a cinema chain? A reporter asked.

The other reporters quieted down and looked at Fang Yihua when they heard this, hoping that she could answer these questions, the reporters knew that if it was too noisy, it would probably make Fang Yihua ignore it, so they waited patiently, as long as Fang Yihua answered, then there would be headlines.

Fang Yihua stopped when he heard this, turned around to look at the many reporters, and the reporters saw Fang Yihua turn around and wanted to shout excitedly, but fortunately they held back for their bonuses.

"I can say for sure that five companies have already contacted Shores to buy Shaw Brothers." Fang Yihua said.

Five? The price of acquiring Shaw Brothers Cinemas is at least hundreds of millions, and there are actually five companies that are willing to pay this huge amount of money to acquire Shaw Brothers Cinemas?

Although movies are becoming more and more popular now, not everyone can play movies, there are many people who make money, and there are also a lot of bankruptcies at a loss, spending hundreds of millions of Hong Kong dollars to enter the film industry is definitely a big gamble, there are actually five companies that have contacted Shaw Brothers, it's really crazy, or there are spoilers among them, I'm afraid there won't be so many people who really want to buy.

"As for who to sell to in the end, in addition to the price, whether the person or company who acquires it is a real movie lover is also a criterion, and Uncle Six doesn't want the film foundation he worked so hard to build be ruined." After Fang Yihua finished speaking, he directly entered the TV building.

For Fang Yihua's answer, many people also scoffed, no matter how much they love movies, they are absolutely vulnerable in the face of high prices, seeing Fang Yihua enter the TV building, the reporters are helpless, some go back to catch up with the draft, and some continue to squat, hoping to get more news.

The news that Shaw Brothers Film Company is going to sell all its theaters has spread widely, and the media are speculating about the five buyers in Fang Yihua's mouth.
