Chapter 34: The Shaw Brothers Movie

It was only a matter of time before Shao Yifu sold the Shaw Brothers Cinema Line. But Yang Lin hopes that this time will be delayed as much as possible to leave him a chance. Once he wins the Shaw Brothers Cinema Line, and with his "super cheat", he will immediately become a hegemon in the Xiangjiang film industry.

But it's just too difficult. Not to mention anything else, the money to buy the theater chain alone is astronomical. How many theaters are there in Shaw Cinemas? Yang Lin didn't know. But looking at its super distribution ability, it is definitely the first-class in Hong Kong and even Southeast Asia.

Lending is a good note, and that's what Durbo has done historically. Rent it first, wait until it grows, and then buy it out in one go. So there is another question, why does Shao Yifu believe that you have the ability to eat the entire Shaw Brothers Cinema Line? "Debao" was founded by Pan Disheng and Hong Jinbao, and either of them is a figure in the Hong Kong film industry.

Yang Lin groaned and said slowly, "Ah Jing, what do you think of the development of the Shaw Clan?" ”

"What do you think?" Wang Jing sighed and said: "The whole world knows that Uncle Six wants to quit the movie and go all out to enter the TV industry, and Shaw Brothers is now struggling to survive. The production ability is okay, but what kind of films do you see? Which one is a big hit? What it relies on is just the super projection ability of Shaw Brothers Cinemas. ”

Liu Dehua was stunned and said: "No, I see that the Shaw Brothers set is very popular." Moreover, selling the Shaw Brothers was just Miss Fang's proposal, didn't Uncle Six never agree? ”

The sixth uncle didn't agree, just because he was an old man and couldn't bear to work hard for so many years. But in the end, Uncle Six is still a businessman. Businessmen have to benefit and return, who will do the loss-making business? Wang Jing said.

From the late 50s to the mid-60s of the last century, it was the entrepreneurial period of Shaw Brothers, and the representative figure was Li Hanxiang, whose Huangmei films became the main genre of Shaw Brothers; From the mid-60s onwards, under the strong advocacy of Zhang Che and Hu Jinquan, the Shaw Brothers brought martial arts films into a glorious period, and Chu Yuan cooperated with Gu Long in the 70s to shoot strange sword martial arts films to continue the glory of the Shaw Brothers.

At this time, Hong Kong films are on the rise, exuding youthful vitality like a hairy guy, with outstanding works of various genres appearing frequently, and major studios are also like you singing and me appearing, seizing the market while producing masterpieces, famous directors, and superstars. Only the Shaw Brothers, after occupying the leading position for many years, said that Bo Xishan finally has the feeling of being under the river.

Yang Lin and Zhong Chuhong toasted and asked Wang Jingdao: "If there is really that day, what are your plans?" ”

"Intended?" Wang Jing was stunned for a moment, although he knew that there would always be a day for the Shaw Brothers, but in his opinion, it was a long time ago. Who would want that? "Not making a movie yet? There is no Shaw Brothers, isn't there still Golden Harvest, and there is a new art city? ”

"You're going to work for someone for the rest of your life?" Yang Lin began to test him.

"So what? Start your own company? Ask for a lot of money, comrade! Wang Jing pursed his lips with an expression of seeing the local buns in the countryside.

Yang Lin said with a smile: "Someone once said that a soldier who doesn't want to be a general is not a good soldier." In the same way, a youth who does not want to progress is not a good youth. ”

Chen Baixiang scratched his head: "This is so familiar, who said it?" ”

This product is simply a foodie, Zhong Chuhong glanced at him, and said angrily: "What Napoleon said, stupid!" ”

Chen Baixiang smiled, and was embarrassed to ask again, what kind of wheel is Napoleon?

Wang Jing was a little drunk, stretched out his finger and shook it, and said, "Alin, I admit that you are very talented. But the most important thing for people is to be down-to-earth. In Xiangjiang, it is not difficult to open a film company, just pay some deposit and buy some second-hand equipment. But if you want to succeed, it's too hard! First of all, the investment in making movies can easily be millions of dollars. The problem is that even if you put in a lot of money, you won't necessarily succeed. The drama "The Best Partner Shows His Magical Powers" in Xinyicheng has an investment of more than 10 million, and if it weren't for the big sales in Southeast Asia, it would almost hit the street! ”

Yang Lin smiled and said, "That's the secret that people haven't found the secret of success yet." ”

Wang Jing said, "Can you find it?" Tell me, what's the secret? ”

Raising his head and draining a bottle of beer in one breath, Yang Lin said: "I don't know about other industries, but the most important thing in the film industry is to grasp the pulse of the development of the times." As long as you have the right pulse, success is just waiting for leisure! ”

At this time, even Zhong Chuhong was curious: "What pulse?" ”

Yang Lin looked at Zhong Chuhong's pink red lips, and said with a very divine temperament: "The early seventies were the world of salty and wet tablets, and the most glorious time of the Shaw Brothers was at that time. In the late 70s, it was the world of martial arts sword films, and the whole Xiangjiang was making such films, and whoever made it made money. Now, it is the era of witty action movies, that is, films like "Five Lucky Stars", which guarantees you to make one and earn one. ”

Everyone savored it, and the trajectory of historical development was indeed so! But why hasn't anyone summarized these rules before?

Yang Lin enjoyed everyone's gaze with a little "admiration", waved his hand, and said, "So, what is the age of the film in the eighties?" And what about the nineties? What about the 21st century? Then he patted his chest, and Niu B said: "It's all here, I have my own furrow in my chest, success, and I can't do it!" ”

"Cut! Just blow the water! Guan Zhilin gave him a pair of white eyeballs.

Zhong Chuhong was also smiling, looking at him funny, thinking that he was playing treasure.

Chen Baixiang also shouted: "Hey, be careful of the cowhide blowing!" ”

Liu Dehua didn't speak, just drank, the kid was a little distracted, and it was estimated that his mind flew to Sister Kexin again.

Only Wang Jing was silent, but the more he pondered in his heart, the more reasonable he became, and he slammed the table and startled everyone. His eyes lit up, and he said hurriedly: "Tell me quickly, what kind of films will be popular in the future?" ”

Choose! This is a buddy's benefit, how can you share it? We still want to pull you into the water and use your connections to carry out big plans. It was very mysterious to say a very classic sentence: "Don't worry, go with my brother, there is meat to eat." ”

Wang Jing did not "pick", but directly stretched out his middle finger to express his disdain.

"Aren't you doing a good job in wireless, why do you seem to be changing jobs?" Zhong Chuhong said with some doubts.

Yang Lin smoked a cigarette and said slowly: "The TV station doesn't have much room for development, and I'm not used to working for people." ”

When he said this, he was very indifferent, but there was a strong sense of arrogance that naturally revealed. Indeed, TVB is just a platform for him to move forward, and he has even greater ideals and ambitions.

No one can be proud, but he must not be proud! The kind of pride that emanates from the bones can change another person's temperament in an instant.

Yang Lin's impression of Guan Zhilin was disdain at first, and then he was more delicate and close. Then, it is responsible and talented. But now, it has added a charm unique to a male surname. Confident, proud, sharp, radiant.

Guan Zhilin's heart throbbed lightly and missed a beat. This man is not simple, what secrets is he still hiding that he has not revealed?

Therefore, a woman's feelings for a man generally begin with curiosity.

Zhong Chuhong saw Yang Lin for the first time today, but Yang Lin's arrogance left an extremely deep impression on him.

Wang Jing said thoughtfully: "Didn't you win me into the water and start your own company, right?" He finally figured out what it tasted like.

"If one day, I start my own company, will you come?" Yang Lin didn't want to say it too obviously, if he said now, two years later, "Shaw Brothers Cinemas" would definitely be sold to Debao Company, and Shaw Brothers movies would be discontinued, and they would not be treated as monsters? Although everyone knows that this is and that things will happen, but except for the gods, who knows when it will happen?

Wang Jing thought about it, shook his head and said, "Let's talk about it then, there is no bottom to this matter." ”

Yang Lin didn't care, he just mentioned something today, and he didn't think that Wang Jing would agree immediately.

His main goal now is to accumulate all the capital he can accumulate, including fame, status, and money. The reason why Wang Jing was wooed was that he was very optimistic about Wang Jing's ability, and second, he was the resources of his son Wang Tianlin. Wang Tianlin is definitely at the level of a big guy in the Xiangjiang entertainment industry. Major theaters, various film and television companies, and popular artists, everyone has to sell his face, and people's qualifications are there. With Wang Tianlin's support, many problems can be easily solved and the result is twice the result with half the effort.

In Yang Lin's heart, the chessboard had already been set up, and he was about to start a big game of chess.

With the film and television industry as the chessboard and the celebrities as the chess pieces, the next game of chess will live up to life.
