489 completely disrupted Taiwan's domestic market

"Crazy?" Wang Xiaohu shook his head with a smile and said, "Sixth uncle, I'm not crazy, on the contrary, I'm very sober now." [Reading Network]"

"Then you" Shaw was tempted to say that you kid is not crazy, how can you do such a brainless thing.

Wang Xiaohu still kept a smile and said: "I want to decide on Lin Qingxia, the actor, according to the price opened by Qiong Yao, isn't it 1 million, I'll give it to her!" ”

"Why do you care so much about an actress in a female literary film?" Run Run Shaw still doesn't understand: "What's more, Lin Qingxia only has a market in Taiwan, and her starring "Outside the Window" was banned three years ago, so I had to contact me through Manager Ma of the branch to arrange a release in Hong Kong, and the box office was not very understanding." ”

"A movie doesn't represent an actor's past, I believe Uncle Six couldn't be clearer, right?" Wang Xiaohu suddenly said very seriously: "For example, back then, you thought that Brother Xiaolong's lion opened his mouth, but Zou Wenhuai invited him at a high price, and Jiahe rose from then on. Mi Xue, who couldn't be a sister in TVB at the beginning, is now also a popular eldest sister of Jiayi. These facts are in front of him, showing that the actor is developing in many ways, he may be good at funny genre films, but for the sake of market requirements, he shoots martial arts films, and after a few movies, he is labeled as a martial arts actor by the audience, but one day he shoots a funny comedy, and his comedy talent is fully stimulated"

The more Wang Xiaohu spoke, the more excited he became, Run Run Shaw listened carefully, he had been an entertainment tycoon for nearly 20 years, he didn't know these truths, but now from Wang Xiaohu's mouth again, he found that he could listen to it.

"You mean, after signing Lin Qingxia over, you will shoot for her to change genres?" Shaw asked, narrowing his eyes.

Wang Xiaohu nodded and said, "You can say this, but you can't say that." Just like you said, she has not yet opened the market in Hong Kong, and the first thing is to make the Hong Kong people accept her. ”

"Hehe, I don't understand you." Run Run Shaw shook his head with a sigh and said: "You are the best at praising people, you just tell me what to do, and I will fully cooperate with you." ”

"Let your manager Ma Fangzong contact Qiong Yao, if Qiong Yao still maintains the condition of 1 million, throw it directly to her, buy out Lin Qingxia's contract, and tell Lin Qingxia that Shaw Brothers signed her."

Run Run Shaw nodded, Wang Xiaohu's arrangement is reasonable, after all, he is now blocked by the Taiwan authorities, if Wang Xiaohu signs Lin Qingxia, I am afraid that the bamboo basket will be empty. "Well, I understand this without you saying it, but what if Qiong Yao regrets it, after all, people may be talking about fun."

"Then speed up the implementation of the original plan, completely crush the proportion of literary films in the Taiwan market, and force those Taiwanese artists to come to Hong Kong to develop!"

This is the real plan of Wang Xiaohu and Run Run Shaw, Tian Jianren of the Tian Group once threatened to ban Wang Xiaohu with the support of the Bamboo Union Gang behind him, how arrogant Wang Xiaohu was, Wang Xiaohu used a sentence to unite with Shaw Brothers to put an end to the delivery of Hong Kong films to the Taiwan market, and directly let Ya's dumb fire, from which it can be seen that the Hong Kong film market has a great impact on Taiwan's local film and television culture, and most Taiwanese have adapted to the cultural invasion of Hong Kong films and like Hong Kong movies very much.

Wang Xiaohu went to the mainland, Taiwan thought that he was cautious in his dealings with the mainland, and when the situation blocked all the film works of the Concord Company, he also took advantage of the situation to transfer the Taiwan market to the Taiwan branch of the Shaw Brothers Company, and joined hands with the Shaw Brothers Company to begin to squeeze Taiwan's literary and artistic film development route little by little.

After all, the two companies are now strategic partners, and working together is the most basic code of integrity.

Since the cooperation between Run Run Run Shaw and Wang Xiaohu, Shaw Brothers' market share in Southeast Asia has become more stable, and some of the company's films have also been distributed overseas in Hollywood through Wang Xiaohu's relationship, and have achieved certain results.

Among all Taiwanese artists, Wang Xiaohu's first favor is Lin Qingxia, on the one hand, the two are currently of similar age, and secondly, Lin Qingxia occupies too many amazing ingredients in future martial arts kung fu films.

And even if Wang Xiaohu does not use such "despicable" means to force Taiwanese artists to develop in Hong Kong, some measures and means of restricting the development of artists by the Taiwan authorities will force them to come to Hong Kong in a few years.

Isn't the current Teresa Teng a good example? It should be said that in the late 70s and early 80s, the Hong Kong entertainment environment was still quite good, attracting those Taiwanese artists to come over.

What Wang Xiaohu is doing now is just speeding up, so that the artists he admires in his heart will bloom their stars in Hong Kong.

"Boy, I won't help in vain!" Run Run Shaw drank his tea, an old fox-like smile on his face.

"Yes, yes!" Wang Xiaohu said: "Your director Li Da is not planning "Dream of Red Mansions: Golden and Jade Romance", I heard that he is worried about the roles of Lin Daiyu and Jia Baoyu, and I can be regarded as helping Uncle Sixth solve this headache." ”

"Who does Lin Qingxia play?"

Wang Xiaohu's brainless words made Run Run Shaw not react.

Wang Xiaohu smiled and said, "Of course it's Jia Baoyu!" Could it be Lin Daiyu? No, no, no, I will recommend one of Lin Daiyu's candidates to you, which is Zhang Aijia of our company. ”

Run Run Shaw was directly dumbfounded, "You let two women take the lead!"

"Sixth uncle, your concept is a little more open, anyway, in the film industry a few decades ago, weren't women the main pillars?"

Wang Xiaohu is right, he has studied the years of the development of kung fu films, in the early 40-60s martial arts movies, most of the leading actors are actresses, and the roles with male surnames are also completed by women with makeup, which is definitely the "matriarchal clan commune" era in the history of film development.

Because in that era, making movies was regarded as a drama and an industry, and men were unwilling to put down their work to make movies.

was said directly by Wang Xiaohu in the face, Shao Daheng was really a little unbearable, if it weren't for the fact that the two of them were both godfathers and sons and the most reliable business partners, Lao Shao Zhen would have beaten people with crutches!

"Okay, okay, the stinky boy will know that he is angry with me as soon as he comes, hurry up and get out of here!" Run Run Shaw said angrily, Wang Xiaohu saw that it was not good to hurry away, leaving Run Run Shaw to sit in the boss's chair and ponder for a long time, and finally he got up from the chair, looked at the old photos hanging on the wall, and muttered: "Am I really old?" ”

No matter how angry Run Run Shaw was, he finally started operating according to the plan discussed by the two, and almost that afternoon, Ma Fangzong, the head of the Taiwan branch of the Shaw Brothers Company, personally went out and secretly found Yongkang Street-Lin Qingxia's home to make contact.

At the same time, the main cinema chain of Shaw Brothers in Taiwan began to exert its strength, opened the doors of theaters with a 20% discount on ticket prices, and began to concentrate on the screening of Shaw Brothers martial arts movies from the early 70s to the present, which completely disrupted the already tilted balance of Taiwan's film market, and made the invasion of Hong Kong film culture in Taiwan even more crazy for a while.

"It's a vicious competition!"

"We should unite to counterbalance Shaw's misconduct!"

Taiwan's local literary film companies began to protest, they contacted the local theater owners, and asked them to stop such crazy behavior, but how could the theater bosses listen to this, who let the theater income skyrocket in the past few days, now is a good time to make money, who cares about a few people from literary film companies.

So, at the end of December 76, Shaw Brothers relied on this action to arrange the release of those films that should not have done well at the box office. made the Taiwanese film industry, which was already struggling to survive, even worse.

"Haha, the stinky boy's bad idea is really good, it's really cost-effective with small profits and quick turnover!"

A lot of money flowed into Run Run Shaw's pocket, and Lao Shao no longer complained about Wang Xiaohu saying that he was outdated, he couldn't close his mouth with a smile and hurriedly went to Shaw Studios in Clear Water Bay to find Wang Xiaohu.

The set of "Hong Xiguan's New Shaolin Five Ancestors" is in full swing at this time, to be precise, it is an exclamation!

Because the highlight is being staged here, I saw Jet Li's golden rooster reading power on Wang Xiaohu's right shoulder, and the "father and son" were fighting with Zhou Billy with a big gun!

"You attack, I'll capture!" Wang Xiaohu's eyes calmly judged: "Go!" ”

Immediately, Jet Li, who was hanging from his waist, held a big gun, kept his body at a height of 2 meters from the ground, and shook the big gun in his hand to attack Zhou Billy's head frequently, and Wang Xiaohu also grabbed Zhou Billy's lower plate with a gun in his right hand, which made Zhou Billy busy for a while.

Pan Yingzi, Yu Suqiu, Xie Xian, Qin Pei and others were already surprised to close their mouths, obediently, they had seen a lot of magical fighting styles in the past two months, and they didn't expect this Armageddon shooting to be an eye-opener for them!

This novel style of costume martial arts fighting is simply something that the Hong Kong martial arts film industry has never heard of, let alone watched.

If Wang Xiaohu changed his usual real fights and began to use a spear to make more realistic and chic movements with the help of Weiya to make them jaw-dropping, then Jet Li, who played his son, could already be described as perverted at this time!

With the help of Wang Xiaohu, a top action director, and with the well-designed actions of Yuan Kui and Yuan De, the little Jet Li already has a deep enough understanding of this movie, and gives full play to the advantages of his national martial arts championship, tying Wei Ya to make a lot of amazing moves on Wang Xiaohu's shoulders.

"This father and son are a perfect match!" When Run Run Shaw rushed over to see this scene, he couldn't help but say with emotion.
