As soon as Wang Xiaohu came to the teahouse, he was led by the waiter into the private room on the second floor. [Full text reading]

The environment in the private room is very elegant, in addition to Run Run Shaw, there is also a waitress wearing a cheongsam, she waits on the side and bows her head to make tea, such a mood makes Wang Xiaohu, who has just entered the door, can't help but sigh: Uncle Shao Liu still knows how to enjoy life, how is it like being busy all day, I don't know when I can get to the point of others.

Run Run Shaw seemed to hear the meaning of Wang Xiaohu's sigh, put the tea on the table, glanced at him and said: "Are you not satisfied with such achievements at a young age, you must know that I have also worked hard for decades to have today's results, you are only 20 years old now, and there is a lot of youth to create a better future, sit down, taste this high-quality Tieguanyin." ”

"The sixth uncle is very right, but Xiaohu is not satisfied." Wang Xiaohu sat down obediently, but the cheongsam beauty handed over the tea and said thank you, took a sip, put the tea on the table and looked up at Run Run Shaw, he knew that Run Run Shaw must have a lot to say to himself.

"How's the tea?" Run Run Shaw chuckled and took another drink.

Wang Xiaohu's face was suddenly embarrassed, just now he thought about how Run Run Shaw would speak, but he didn't pay attention to the taste of the tea, so he took another sip, smacked his lips and didn't feel any difference, just a little more taste than water: "It seems to be about the same." ”

"Hey, you're an afterlife!" Hearing this, Run Run Shaw waved his hand to let the cheongsam beauty retreat, picked up the tea set and poured it for Wang Xiaohu, and then said, "How about you try this cup again?" ”

"What's going on?" Although Wang Xiaohu was confused, he still picked up the tea according to his words, and when he was about to enter it, Run Run Shaw reminded: "Take a small sip, stay on the tip of your tongue and savor it, hey, there are a few young people who know the tea ceremony now." ”

Wang Xiaohu smacked his lips: "Sixth uncle, I don't have any experience of this tea ceremony, so don't be sloppy." ”

Run Run Shaw frowned slightly, and then said with relief: "In the end, young people like to be direct, okay." Calling you out today is like listening to your prospects for the future development of Hong Kong films. ”

"Uncle Six, you are a tycoon in the Hong Kong film industry, how dare I, a freshly baked little shrimp, dare to dance a big knife in front of your boss, in fact, I especially admire Uncle Six's current investment in the TV industry."

Since Run Run Shaw has been immersed in the film industry for decades, he must have a unique vision, Wang Xiaohu does not dare to tell the old fritter about the trajectory of the development of Hong Kong films in the next few decades, otherwise his fate will definitely be very tragic, he is still waiting for Run Run Shaw to withdraw from the film circle, and take the opportunity to gather all the resources of the Shaw Brothers' cinema chain.

"Oh? Are you also optimistic about the prospects of the TV industry? Shaw was stunned for a moment, and asked with a curious expression on his face, "Do you think I'm not taking an adventure?" ”

"Certainly not an adventure." Wang Xiaohu drank all the tea, touched his lips and said: "The TV industry is in full swing in developed countries such as Europe and the United States, and with the prosperity of Hong Kong's economy, TV will also become a necessary household appliance for Hong Kong citizens, the TV industry is still promising, if it weren't for Xiaohu's shortage of funds, I really want to share a piece of the pie with Uncle Six!" ”

Wang Xiaohu's analysis surprised Run Run Shaw slightly, and he was a little curious about his ability to see through his intentions in a short period of time: "Hehe, the tone is not small!" ”

"Well, it's not a matter of the size of the tone, but the strength in front of me, I don't have the squandering of your family like Uncle Six!" Wang Xiaohu quietly slapped back the other party's fart.

"Hey, when I proposed to develop the TV industry, many people raised objections, and Wen Huai also left the Shaw Brothers at that time, and now I see that you have shown a strong interest in TV, and I am finally a lot more relaxed." Run Run Shaw sighed, which shows how much pressure he was under to launch this plan for future hegemony, and at the same time, Wang Xiaohu saw his talented side.

It's not much, most of the TV stations are still paid programs, and many families need to pay a monthly fee to see it, Wang Xiaohu doesn't know much about the early development of Hong Kong TV, if it is impressive, it should be after the 80s, with the popularity of films such as "Shanghai Tang", "Shooting the Condor" trilogy, "Huo Yuanjia" and other films in the mainland, he knew that these popular classics were shot by Hong Kong TVB TVB, and the mainland saw these films more than ten years later, which shows how terrible the fault line of cultural exchange is.

"How do you think TV shows should develop?" Run Run Shaw asked a question that made Wang Xiaohu a little crying and laughing.

The reason why this question is laughable is because Wang Xiaohu did not prepare much, he just wanted Run Run Shaw to shift the topic to TV, but he didn't expect that Run Run Shaw was so interested in TV that he would ask himself such a question. "Sixth uncle, you know that I am not good at television, you should ask your think tank for this kind of question."

"Hehe, there's not much difference between TV and movies, the so-called one law is all over the world, I don't believe you don't have any ideas about TV." Run Run Shaw didn't want to let Wang Xiaohu go, and continued: "I don't want TVB to always repeat entertainment programs to increase ratings, I want to shoot a few TV series, but I lack good TV drama scripts, do you have a better book?" ”

"Nope!" Wang Xiaohu shook his head like a rattle, he spread his hands and said: "There is a big gap between the TV script and the movie script, maybe it only takes a few pieces of paper to create the movie script, because the movie time is limited, but the TV series is different, maybe the first few episodes can't enter the theme, which is too much of a test of the screenwriter's ability to work!" ”

"So I'm looking for you, you're a 5 million box office screenwriter, no, it's wrong, you're now a 10 million box office screenwriter and director! How about doing Uncle Six a favor, Uncle Six will give you the highest remuneration in Hong Kong! Run Run Shaw said to Wang Xiaohu with a smile.

"Good script? There are a lot of Lao Tzu, but I can't give it to you! Wang Xiaohu was a little unhappy in his heart, those good scripts were left to Ah Zhi in the future, how could he let you spoil them! But since Run Run Shaw asked, he always had to deal with it: "Why didn't Uncle Sixth ask Ni Kuang to write you a few good scripts, many of his novels, such as the Wesley series, are very good." ”

"No, don't you think I haven't thought about it, if you didn't jump out, I could shoot those films, but you and Bruce Lee have shot four blockbuster movies in less than a year, and you have already positioned the audience's appreciation level to martial arts kung fu films, and you let me shoot Wesley It's a terrible attention!" Shaw shook his head and quickly refused.

"Ugh!" Wang Xiaohu was embarrassed for a while, and hurriedly picked up a cup of tea and poured it in, unexpectedly that the sixth uncle had already taken a fancy to Ni Kuang's novel. "What about the ancient dragons? I heard that Chu Yuan has a good relationship with Gu Long, and Gu Long's novels are also very suitable for martial arts TV series. ”

"Gu Long's novels are all imaginative, and now there are few who can shoot his kind of effect and artistic conception, difficult!"

"Jin Yong's?"

"Each of his novels is large, and it is very difficult to adapt the screenplay!"

"Yes!" Wang Xiaohu understands now, the problem is not that the novels of these old people are not good, but that no screenwriter dares to eat this crab now, hum, if you don't eat it, keep it for me first, sooner or later I will shoot it and make you regret it!

Several suggestions in succession were fruitless, and the atmosphere in the private room became a little awkward, and both parties realized that although they had intentions for each other, they were powerless. Shaw's powerlessness lies in the fact that few of his subordinates are willing to be optimistic about the development of TV, and Wang Xiaohu's powerlessness lies in the fact that he does not have a large amount of money to invest in TV. So there is no point in playing with this kind of language temptation, and in that case, it is better to simply remain silent.

After a long time, the old and the young sighed and shook their heads at the same time.

"Hey!"

"Hey!"

"Don't talk about TV! Let's get down to business. After tasting the tea, Run Run Shaw's face became serious: "I want to join the shares of Concord, you can open a price!" ”

"What?" Wang Xiaohu's heart was shocked, damn, buy shares? No way! Who doesn't know that your Uncle Shao Liu is the lord of the dictatorship, if you become a shareholder, the Concord that Brother Xiaolong and I finally created will not change its name and surname. "No sale of shares."

"Why? You must know that Concord has just been established, and many aspects have not yet gained a firm foothold, although your cinema chain is also available, but the scale is not large, not to mention the cinema chain in Southeast Asia, if you agree with me to take a stake, Shaw Brothers will provide you with convenience in this regard. ”

"Relatively speaking, I prefer freedom!" Wang Xiaohu said: "If I join the sixth uncle at the same time, wouldn't it be the same model as in Jiahe?" I don't like the feeling of putting my fate in the hands of others, and I don't want to be subject to unfair competition, since I jumped out of Jiahe with Xiaolongge, although the burden is heavy, although the company's foundation is unstable, but it is better to have more development prospects! ”

"Huh?" Run Run Shaw never expected Wang Xiaohu to answer like this, his face was a little embarrassed, a little unhappy, and a little angry.

Wang Xiaohu pretended not to see it, he said: "If Uncle Sixth wants to continue to cooperate with Xiaohu, Xiaohu raises his hands in favor, after all, the cooperation between us will benefit each other, and Uncle Six can get objective income just by providing help in theater distribution, isn't it a better way?" ”

"And the cooperation between us will make Jiahe unable to react for a while, isn't this exactly what Uncle Six wants to see? Besides, the focus of Shaw Brothers' development is now moving closer to the TV industry, and I don't want to see the situation of Golden Harvest dominance in a few years, right? Why not help Xiaohu take the opportunity to take the position and seek greater profits? After Wang Xiaohu finished speaking, he took a sip of tea, although he had drunk several cups, he felt that the taste of this cup of tea was extraordinarily fragrant and delicious
