388 Shake hands with the Long family
Golden Harvest faced so many messes, somewhat beyond Wang Xiaohu's expectations, Zou Wenhuai in his previous life was known as the "Little Zhuge of Hong Kong films", saying how he got Bole, successively picked up Bruce Lee, the Xu brothers, Jackie Chan, and supported the development of Hong Kong films after Shaw Brothers withdrew from the film industry. [No pop-up novel network]
Now it seems that even if Zou Wenhuai has the ability to reach the sky, it is difficult for a clever woman to cook without rice, no money and internal and external troubles, and the popular star Jackie Chan, who was invited with a huge amount of money, was abducted again, and it is inevitable to make a gesture of breaking the jar and falling, no wonder this time the bosses of several major theaters of Golden Harvest dare to introduce the film so openly, which cannot but say the problem.
Maybe it's because Jiahe covered it up well, maybe it's because the Long family is afraid of losing face and uses their own strength to block the news tightly, if it weren't for Run Run Shaw telling Wang Xiaohu, he might still be trying to compete with Jiahe.
Jiahe, who has no sharp teeth, is like a lost dog all the time, and Wang Xiaohu likes to do the thing of "beating the water dog" the most, so the old and the young discussed the plan to buy Golden Harvest by lightning.
In fact, things have come to this point, the acquisition process is relatively simple, Golden Harvest is only left with an empty shelf, the first thing to do is to grab all the cinema chains of Golden Harvest, the bosses of those cinemas have tasted the sweetness of the agency of "Ah Hu", I believe that after Concord and Shaw Brothers join forces, those theater bosses will make a wise choice.
Wang Xiaohu and Run Run Shaw will register several companies in Southeast Asia and other regions, and then talk to Zou Wenhuai about acquisitions. Of course, for the sake of insurance, Run Run Shaw suggested to make a few small moves to force the seemingly stable but actually riddled Golden Harvest to a dead end, so that the acquisition plan would be more secure, Wang Xiaohu had no objection to this, in fact, he agreed with Shaw's unscrupulous approach to achieve the goal, after all, he did not want to repeat the last accident.
The plan is very simple, to put it bluntly, it is to use money to smash it, and the two companies will join hands to acquire Golden Harvest and reorganize it to achieve a unified and harmonious situation for Hong Kong films, and then jointly impact Hollywood and bring Hong Kong films into international development.
The old and the young repeatedly studied the plan, and only after thinking that it was impeccable did they go their separate ways.
The second ending of "Ah Hu" finally came out, Ah Hu and Muay Thai king Tawang The match went to the end, winning or losing for both sides has no meaning, Ah Hu won the respect of his opponent with his tenacious spirit, won the recognition of the Muay Thai community, and recalled the tall image of his daughter to her father, and the nun finally finished filming the video of the game that PIM did not complete that year.
Ah Hu fell, was carried into the ambulance by Tawang and the others, a trace of clouds floated in the gray sky, but this time it fluttered very slowly, from the depths of the clouds came a burst of voices calling "Ah Hu", and then the clouds dispersed, the sun slowly shone on the earth, the picture flashed again, Ah Hu opened his eyes, his eyes were full of confidence, full of relief, full of smiles
"Although such an ending is expected, it leaves the audience a lot of room for reverie, I think Wang Xiaohu also knows the true value of this film, so he used this ending that is not the ending, as Wang Xiaohu said in an interview with reporters, this ending is not much different, and it does not affect Ah Hu's classic image in the whole film, it can only be regarded as compensation for everyone's regrets, I have to say that Wang Xiaohu is very smart." "Ming Pao" Yi Xiujia said.
"It's like adding to it!" Zhang Meijuan wrote angrily in "Hong Kong Women's Daily": "I still insist on the first version of the ending, Ah Hu fell on stage, but in my heart, a hero is truly established." Maybe many people will say that this is just a movie, but I want to say that in fact, the movie is also a reality that is beyond reality, and he also describes what is happening around us all the time, the fall of Ah Hu, I can only describe it like this, the perfect curtain call of a hero, he interprets what is the responsibility of a man, what is the responsibility of a lover, and what is the responsibility of a father. ”
The strong controversy of the two endings is also unfolding among the audience, some insist on the first version of the wonderful, and naturally there are also those who insist on the second version of the joy, in short, the noise is inextricable, so Wang Xiaohu directly let the theater hang up a new notice: one movie ticket can watch two versions, which stimulated the enthusiasm of the audience to go to the theater.
At the same time as the aftermath of "A Tiger" was in full swing, Wang Xiaohu began the acquisition plan, first let Naifer register a small company in Thailand, and then began to recruit troops to acquire some of Golden Harvest's properties in Thailand.
Then let Taiwan's Wang Jiaxing register another film and television company, and set out to deal with Golden Harvest's acquisition of Taiwan's market, the Taiwanese market is mainly dominated by Run Run Shaw, supplemented by Wang Xiaohu, after a few months of tossing, Golden Harvest's industrial opportunities throughout Southeast Asia were jointly annexed by the two, and approached Golden Harvest's last territory - the Hong Kong market.
At this time, Run Run Shaw's small means began to be thrown on the table, he first sent the information about the rout of Golden Harvest Company in the Southeast Asian market to Old Man Long, who looked at it for a long time and then sighed and said to Run Run Shaw: "Let that kid in the sky jump out of Golden Harvest's mess, I am willing to cooperate with your actions." ”
Even if the Long family has strong economic strength, as the head of the Long family, Old Man Long is not willing to see his grandson develop in an unfamiliar field, not to mention that Long Yatou is still strongly opposed, Suo surname gave Run Run Shaw a favor, and sent Long Sky directly to the United States to manage the family industry, and this side will be handed over to Long Yatou with full agency, but as a condition of exchange, Wang Xiaohu and Run Run Shaw must fill in the funds invested by the Long family in the early stage.
Full of calculations, Long Sky invested less than 10 million Hong Kong dollars in Golden Harvest, this money is equally divided by Wang Xiaohu and Run Run Shaw It is reasonable, after less resistance from the Long family, the acquisition plan is smoother, there are two major companies with great momentum outside, and Long Zichen frequently exerts pressure inside, Zou Wenhuai has no temper at all, and takes his own part of the money and leaves the United States with his family.
"Zichen, thank you for your help." After signing the acquisition contract, Wang Xiaohu thanked Long Zichen.
Long Zichen looked a little shy, raised his hand and brushed the bangs in front of his forehead and said: "It's nothing, if it weren't for my brother's intervention, I don't think you would have bought Jiahe a long time ago, speaking of which, I can be regarded as repaying the debt, back then, I didn't mean to do that, if it caused you some harm, I am sorry here." ”
The girl took the initiative to reconcile, which made Wang Xiaohu look a little passive, his face turned red rarely, and he touched his nose and said: "Actually, it should be me who says I'm sorry, maybe it's my machismo." ”
"It's all a misunderstanding, isn't it?" Long Zichen smiled faintly, spread his hands and said, "If I send you an invitation now, you shouldn't refuse, right?" ”
"Uh, are you still asking me to sign up?" Wang Xiaohu's face was a little strange: "Zichen, if you want to sign a contract, forget it, I'll go back and write dozens of songs for you for free, which can be regarded as making up for it!" ”
"How can that be!" Long Zichen bit his lip, shook his head stubbornly and said, "You must know that you are worth a lot of miles now, and you can compose music and lyrics with Uncle Zhan, how can I take your things for free." ”
"Uh, talking about money hurts feelings!" Wang Xiaohu didn't want any misunderstanding between the two now, so he directly changed the topic and said: "How many singers do you have now?" ”
"There are not many famous people, but I still maintain a good contact with Teresa Teng." Long Zichen smiled bitterly and said, "You also know that Teresa Teng is too popular now, and I have been struggling to keep her recently." ”
"Teresa Teng!" Wang Xiaohu's brain exploded, and he remembered the Teresa Teng who was a little baby fat and sang "embarrassing" love songs in the Han Palace nightclub three years ago, and he didn't expect Teresa Teng to sign a contract with Lifeng Records. (Well, the plot requires, some history is modified.) "What, is she going to change jobs?" ”
Long Zichen frowned and said, "She has been negotiating with Watanabe Company recently, and it seems that she wants to go there to develop. ”
Wang Xiaohu nodded: "Have you asked her the reason?" ”
"I asked, this was her mother's request, and her mother said that the market in Southeast Asia is saturated, and she needs to expand the market, and she has not found good songs recently." Long Zichen sighed after saying and said: "Actually, according to my analysis, Teresa Teng's mother is controversial about the copyright of the song. It is believed that the income in Hong Kong and Taiwan is too low. ”
In the early years, the cooperation between the record company and the singer was sold out, and a song received almost 2,000 yuan, and ten songs were only 20,000 or 30,000 yuan, and the income was pitiful.
"Uh-huh." After a long time, Wang Xiaohu said: "You can do this, take out a part of the total income of the song and give it to her, and then you tell her that if you want a good song, stay in Lifeng Company, because Lifeng will provide her with a better platform to display her singing voice." ”
Long Zichen Dai frowned, and said sadly: "How can there be any good songs in the company, the words filled in by Uncle Zhan are extremely heroic, which is not suitable for Teresa Teng's style." ”
"I have a ready-made one here, the one I sang to Ah Zhi back then is called "Sweet Honey", which is very suitable for Teresa Teng's style, and I will have someone send it to you when I go back."
"Sweet Honey?" A hint of strangeness flashed in Long Zichen's eyes, and the scene at the top of Taiping Mountain immediately appeared in his mind, he shouldn't know that he had heard it, right? Pretending to be okay at the moment, he said, "What if her mother insists on it again and again?" ”
"That's simpler, you can continue to package her, and then negotiate cooperation with Watanabe Company, and appropriately relax the conditions, in short, Teresa Teng, you can't let go!"
